How do international money transfers work?
International money transfers allow you to convert currencies and send money to someone overseas. The average transfer process involves you providing funds to a bank or an independent transfer provider. It will then sends the money to your recipient in the Maldives.
Most transfers can be done in-person, over the phone, through a mobile app or online. You can pay with cash, card or a direct debit from your bank account. The transfer will then either be deposited into your recipient's bank account, mobile wallet or made available as cash for them to pick up at a location in their country.
What are my options for transferring money to the Maldives?
Money transfer services
Few money transfer providers send money to the Maldives. MoneyGram and Western Union are two reliable services that are able to convert US dollars to rufiyaas. Both companies have years of experience in international money transfers and allow for various methods of sending money quickly.
US dollars in the Maldives
If you're struggling to find a provider that will send rufiyaas, consider transferring US dollars. The US dollar is widely accepted as a form of payment, and by transferring US dollars, you won't have to deal with an exchange rate.
Case Study: Hassan compared different money transfer companies to send money to the Maldives
Hassan is one of the 330 students from the Maldives that received a long-term scholarship to study in America. Hassan's parents were unable to pay his school fees by the time he reached secondary school and took out several study loans to further fund his education. After completing his studies in the US, Hassan has since become a successful actuary.
He is now in a position where he can pay back the study loans for his parents. He compares different alternatives for sending money to his parents using the amount of $1,000 USD.
|Money transfer company A||Money transfer company B|
|Exchange rate||1 USD = 10.7227 MVR||1 USD = 10.639406 MVR|
|Amount received less the transfer fee||10,722.74 MVR||10,639.41 MVR|
|Transfer options||Phone, Online, Agent||Phone, Online, Agent|
Hassan decides to go with the first transfer company because it will give his parents more money to work with and he can handle the slightly higher fee.
How do I compare transfer companies when sending money to the Maldives?
- Exchange rates. Look for an exchange rate that's close to market average when making an exchange. Exchange rates are set by the transfer provider, but vary day-to-day and between providers.
- Pickup methods. Can your recipient pick up the cash from their nearest transfer agent, or will the funds be deposited into their bank account? Choose a method that's more convenient for the person receiving the money.
- Fees. Due to its limited accessibility in infrastructure and geography, international money transfer companies that send money to the Maldives usually require a higher fee for their service.
- Turnaround time. Will the funds be available for your beneficiary in minutes, or will they take several working days to arrive?
- Transfer methods. Can transfers be placed online, over the phone, by visiting a branch or by using a mobile app? The convenience of these options should impact your final choice.
- Minimum transfer amount. What is the minimum transfer limit imposed by each company? Will this affect the size of your transfer?
- Customer service. Is help available when you have a question regarding a transaction? Compare the availability of customer support options and hours.
Foreign exchange rates explained
Exchange rates determine how much one country's currency is worth when converted to the currency of another country. When a country's currency is strong, it will yield more money when exchanging it with a weak currency. The exact amount you'll receive when exchanging money depends on global economics, so monitoring rates will help you decide when to make a transfer.
Steps to send money to the Maldives
- Find a money transfer company from the table above.
- Visit the lender's website when you're ready to make a transfer.
- Create an account and begin a new transfer.
- Enter your recipient's information and the amount you want to send.
- Pay for your transfer.
- Keep your tracking number and receipt.
Once you've finished your part of the transfer, wait for your recipient to confirm that they've received their funds. This will ensure that there were no problems during the transfer process.
Tips for picking up cash in the Maldives
The Maldives is classified as a safe destination for tourists, but political unrest since 2016 has seen an increase in petty crimes and violent protests. When you're picking up cash in the Maldives, take a safety-first approach. Keep your cash hidden and deposit it with your bank as soon as possible. Take a friend along with you to collect the funds. Don't walk around busy areas with lots of cash, and never take out a large amount of bills in public.
Same-day money transfers in the Maldives
It is possible to make a same-day money transfer to the Maldives by using a quick money transfer service like MoneyGram. However, the exchange rate you receive will likely be worse than one you might get if your transfer took more time, and you may have to pay more fees for the fast service. When you're facing an emergency, a same-day transfer can be beneficial as long as you know the total cost you might have to pay.Back to top

Evaluating reeds
Photo, chelseagirl
There are three things to consider when evaluating a reed. I consider these same factors for either single or double reeds, and prioritize them in this order.
 1. Response. The overriding concern for me is that the reed responds exactly as I expect it to. A reed that is stiff, sluggish, stuffy, or otherwise unresponsive isn't a good reed (at least in its current state), even if it "has a good sound" or whatever. Many reed players, I believe, are consistently using reeds that are overly stiff, often in the name of "good" tone.
 2. Stability. This is the flip side of the coin from response; a reed that is too responsive is uncontrollable. (Think of the gas pedal and brake in a car: unresponsive pedals make the car feel lethargic, but overly responsive ones make for a jerky ride.) With an unstable reed, it's hard to play in tune, hard to control dynamics, and hard to keep the tone consistent.
 3. Tone. Once I've selected a reed that has the right balance between response and stability, I evaluate the reed's contribution to tone quality. Remember that the reed is only one of many factors that affect tone, and that tone is relatively easy to manipulate if the reed is responsive and stable. Resist the temptation to rank your reeds based on their tone alone.
2 thoughts on "Evaluating reeds
 1. Great introduction Bret!
 Is this true for singe reeds as well as double? To what extent does the instrument come into play?
 I was very happily surprized when, in January I got the chance to try some really old and new Lorée, Howarth and other oboes, that my 1985 Lorée is part of a (Thank God) lost generation. For us, "instability" means this: as you crescendo/diminuendo some specific notes, they will "wobble" sharp and/or flat… these notes "wolf" like a cello bow that you have just cleaned off the rosin with alcohol.
 For these instruments, reeds are usually better short (danger of playing sharp) and with specific crow characteristics that just can't be explained in text. But back in the days, it was taken for granted that playing the oboe was synonymous with fighting the instrument for proper tuning and equal projection on all the notes.
 I was very happily surprized that Lorées after the year 2000 (the newer, the better) almost don't do this at all – and Marigaux has always maintained the reputation of sounding great with any reed.
 1. Yes, I use these same criteria for both single and double reeds.
 And I always evaluate a reed in terms of the instrument/mouthpiece that I intend to use it on. This is why I have difficulty with the concept of, for example, buying double reeds from a reedmaker through a website or catalog—the reeds might be "good" in some abstract sense, but it's not good to me unless it's good on my instrument.

Sydney Water, in partnership with the Sydney Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority, local councils and other land and water managers, has developed a riverbank naturalisation project for the Cooks River. The project involves naturalising 1.2 kilometres of the Cooks River banks, providing a new habitat for birds and aquatic life and improving the amenity of the river.
The riverbank naturalisation includes the removal of the existing steep concrete channel bank and creating a more gently sloping bank. This is stabilised by native plants, trees and sandstone boulders as well as the inclusion of new paths, seats and interpretive signage. Naturalisation creates a softer landscape feel and can greatly improve the liveability of the river environment for both wildlife and people.
Mainway's role as project manager for the civil contractor was to coordinate works, programme and contractual approvals with Sydney Water to ensure the project met stakeholder and community requirements while successfully being delivered within time and budget.

text: Traditionally, object retrieval methods require a set of images of a specific object for training. In this paper, we propose a new object retrieval method using a single query image, without training, for a global object. The query image could be a typical real image of the object. The object is constructed based on Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) points acquired from the image. Information of relative positions, scale and orientation between SURF points are calculated and constructed into an object model. The ability to match partially affine transformed object images results from the robustness of SURF points and the flexibility of the model. Occlusion is handled by specifying the probability of a missing SURF point in the model. Experimental results show that this matching technique is robust under partial occlusion and rotation. The obtained results illustrate that the proposed method improves efficiency, speeds up recovery and reduces the storage space.


An Artificial Intelligence-based system for boosting career prospects
Singapore (SSG) to build a Deep Learning based AI system that can help Singaporeans choose courses based on their profile and career ambitions. Be it the desire for improving career prospects, or the thrill of picking up new skills just for fun, the AI system has got your back.
The pilot study was initiated in June 2018 with the analysis of SSG's SkillsFuture Credit (SFC) Programme, which offers subsidized courses to all Singapore citizens over the age of 25. Since its launch in 2016, around 285,000 Singaporeans have taken these courses, making it a rich anonymized dataset for course selection and career planning. Researchers at ALSET have worked in close collaboration with SSG, and have fused their expertise and state-of-the-art deep learning-based principles to build a course recommender system stemmed from SFC credit claims data.
By analyzing these data, we believe that recent advances in AI are well suited to the challenges of course recommendation and career guidance. The intelligent recommendation guidance will offer great help to the whole society. By analyzing context information and historical choice, our system aims to help individuals develop themselves better and trying to create a successful road map for them. Using methodologies like collaborative filtering and natural language analysis, we are optimistic that our research will support the creation of impactful technologies.

Homeowners report that painting a home's exterior costs an average of $2,911 with a typical range between $1,735 and $4,104. The average price per square foot ranges from $0.50 to $3.50 depending on your location, condition of your exterior and accessibility. Stucco and brick cost an average of $1 per square foot more than vinyl or wood. The average 2,500 square feet home costs an average of $4,000, though it can range from $1,250 to $8,750. House Painting Thornton
In issue #28 of Garth Ennis's comics series Preacher, Jesse Custer is sitting in front of the painting in the MoMA, examining it. In issue #43, the story of which is titled "Christina's World", Jesse relates his visit to the museum to his mother, Christina L'Angell, who explains to him that when she first discovered the painting in a book, she thought Wyeth had painted her own life. In addition, the cover to issue #43 by artist Glenn Fabry is a variation of Christina's World, with Christina in the role of Anna Christina Olson. House Painting Thornton
The woman in the painting is Anna Christina Olson (3 May 1893 – 27 January 1968). She probably suffered from Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, a genetic polyneuropathy.[2][3] Wyeth was inspired to create the painting when he saw her crawling across a field while he was watching from a window in the house. He had a summer home in the area and was on friendly terms with Olson, using her and her younger brother as the subjects of paintings from 1940 to 1968. Olson was the inspiration and subject of the painting but she was not the primary model; Wyeth's wife Betsy posed as the torso of the painting. Olson was 55 at the time that Wyeth created the work.[4]
Exterior paint prep projects often involve multi-story work. This means you're going to need a ladder or even a scaffold to boost your reach while supporting you safely. Setting up a ladder or scaffold outside is trickier than an interior application. This is because you'll need to take the stability of the ground into account. A ladder which stands steady on a concrete driveway may sink into soft dirt as soon as you put your weight onto it. Or even worse: that ladder may not move at all until you're 10 feet or more in the air.

First Alaska Native on US currency revealed as Alaska Native Heritage Month becomes official
Elizabeth Peratrovich is considered a civil rights icon by Alaska Natives. The Petersburg native led the fight to create the state's anti-discrimination law in 1945. Soon, the rest of the nation can learn about her.
A representative of the U.S. Mint joined others Saturday at Alaska Pacific University's Atwood Center as they unveiled the new $1 coin at a ceremony that took place during the Alaska Native Brothers and Alaska Native Sisters Convention.
"This is a game changer. Elizabeth is still a game changer. This is really, really a good day," said ANS Grand President Paulette Moreno.
Peratrovich is the first Alaska Native to be on U.S. currency.
"The coin will be a lasting tribue to Elizabeth Peratrovich to tear down the wall of discrimination against Alaska Natives," said U.S. Mint Chief Administrative Officer Patrick Hernandez. "Perhaps Elizabeth was like the raven, crying out until the darkness of discrimination was dispelled."
The new coins will be available next year. Peratrovich passed away in 1958.
Meanwhile, Gov. Mike Dunleavy put pen to paper earlier in the day at the convention, as he signed House Bill 126 to formally establish November as Alaska Native Heritage Month.
"The history of Alaska's native peoples is the history of Alaska," Gov. Dunleavy said. "Without it, Alaska's history is not complete. Eleven distinct cultures encompass every part of this great state."
Sen. Elvi Gray-Jackson of Anchorage and Rep. Tiffany Zulkosky of Bethel were among those on hand for the ceremony. The House passed the bill with a 36-to-1 vote, while the Senate passed the bill unanimously.

Point Fermin Lighthouse Needs an Ownerposted: 7/30/2012
The move is part of the federal government's effort to dispose of lighthouses across the nation that it says are no longer needed as aids to navigation because of technological advancements in vessels' navigation electronics.
The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000 allowed a clear path for the federal government to relieve itself of costly lighthouse maintenance while also leaving the historic structures in the hands of capable and preservation-minded owners. The bill gives government agencies and nonprofit corporations a chance at being awarded a "free" lighthouse, as long as they maintain the property and act as lighthouse stewards.
Currently, the lighthouse is managed as a museum by the city of Los Angeles' Department of Recreation and Parks. The department has worked with a team of volunteers on the property to run tours and maintain the lighthouse since its $2.4 million renovation and public opening in 2003.
"Our lighthouse is unique because of the combination of its wonderful history, its stick-style Victorian architecture and its beautiful surrounding gardens," said Kristin Heather, the Point Fermin historic site curator.
Heather, a city employee, said the department has submitted its letter of intent to own the property and continue running programs at the site as it currently does.
Built in 1874, Point Fermin Lighthouse was the first navigational light on San Pedro Bay. The lighthouse's stick-style construction was designed by Paul J. Pelz, a draftsman for the U.S. Lighthouse Board, and only three structures of similar construction remain standing.
The lighthouse remained in active use until Dec. 9, 1941, two days after the attacks on Pearl Harbor, and it was turned off during a coastal blackout, prompted by concern that the light might be used as a beacon for Japanese planes in an attack on the West Coast. The lighthouse operated as a lookout tower through the duration of the war, and the light was never turned back on. Point Fermin Lighthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 1972.
Since its passage 12 years ago, the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act has facilitated the ownership exchange of 84 lighthouses to new stewards.
The process requires three separate agencies to work together: The Coast Guard must identify which lighthouses are no longer required as aids to navigation and pass that information on to the General Services Administration, which must issue a Notice of Availability.
When letters of intent are received from prospective owners, the application process is handled by the National Parks Service, which awards the lighthouse to the organization it deems most deserving.
According to Point Fermin's Notice of Availability, the site must be used for education, park, recreation, cultural or historic preservation purposes, with commercial activity prohibited unless approved by the Secretary of the Interior.
The 3.5-acre property includes the lighthouse tower and surrounding garden, an office and garage building, a concrete storage structure, an electronics shack, a former guest quarters structure and a non-operational light signal beacon.
Point Fermin Lighthouse is open from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and it is closed Mondays.
Admission is free, but a donation is requested for each visitor. Children younger than 18 must be accompanied by an adult, and children smaller than 3 feet, 4 inches tall may not be admitted to the tower. For more information, call _PHONE_.

basic QinQ configuration on Huawei switches
In traditional 802.1Q protocol, service provider should assign different VLAN IDs to users of different VLANs. The numer of VLANs is limited to 4094 IDs. In addition, different users cannot use the same VLAN ID.
A simple method to solve this is to implement QinQ. The QinQ technology improves the utilization of VLANs by adding another 802.1Q tag to a packet with an 802.1Q tag. In this manner, services from the private VLAN can be transparently transmitted through the public network. The ISP network only provides one VLAN ID for different VLANs from the same user network. This saves VLAN IDs of an ISP. Meanwhile, the QinQ provides a simple Layer 2 VPN solution to a small MAN or a local area networks.
QinQ tunneling on Huawei switches
Let's assume that we have two enteprise networks. Each enterprise has two branch offices, located in different cities. As an ISP, we cannot force these enterprises to use different VLAN planning. In our case, both use VLAN 10 and our task is to transparently transmitt traffic, through ISP network, between remote offices.
What we want to achieve is to ensure communication between remote offices of each enterprise and to block communication between Enterprise_1 and Enterprise_2. We can use basic QinQ tunneling in this case. It adds the same outer VLAN tag to all the frames entering a Layer 2 port.

Shadow properties in Entity framework core (EF 7)
Entity framework core introduces new feature known as shadow properties. Shadow properties are do not part of entity class, but treated as part of it. The value and state of these properties is maintained purely in the Change Tracker API. These properties can participate in all database operations, but should not be exposed via entity class to the rest of the application.
shadow properties
The main advantages of shadow properties are you can access it without declaring it as part of domain model and It allows developers to define properties in class which doesn't have source code for.
Let's take example of Employee, In database Employee table have five properties EmpoyeeId, FirstName, LastName, Age and CreatedDate. CreatedDate is not exposed and should be define as Shadow properties.
public class Employee
{
 public int EmployeeId { get; set; }
 public string FirstName { get; set; }
 public string LastName { get; set; }
 public int Age { get; set; }
}
Currently, Shadow properties can not be created with data annotations. You can use the Fluent API to configure shadow properties. Shadow properties are defined by overriding OnModelCreating event in DbContext class.
Here is an example of attaching a DateTime property called CreatedDate to the Employee entity. CreatedDate properties state will be manage by change tracker API by it self.
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
 modelBuilder.Entity<Employee>().Property<DateTime>("CreatedDate");
}
As Change tracker APIs are responsible to manage State of Shadow properties, Get and Set operations will be perform by Change tracker APIs. We can modify the value of shadow property.
context.Entry(employee).Property("CreatedDate").CurrentValue = DateTime.Now;
Shadow properties can be referenced in LINQ queries via the EF.Property static method. For example, the following code can be used to retrieve employee list order by created date.
var employees = context.Employee
 .OrderBy(b => EF.Property<DateTime>(b, "CreatedDate"));
On OnModelCreating event execution, If the name supplied to the Property method matches the name of an existing property (a shadow property or one defined on the entity class), then the code will configure that existing property rather than introducing a new shadow property.
Recently Devid Miller published Introductory video on shadow Properties in Entity Framework.

The proposed control system consists of a NC, a robust feedback controller, a third-order linear reference model and dynamics of ASS. The simulation examples with various standard input signals are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method and show significant improvement over the existing PID controller method. The robustness of the proposed NC is also analyzed with white noise disturbances on the suspension system. It is shown that the control System is robustly stable for all road disturbances.

In the most of all statistical approaches in pattern recognition theories in remote sensing it is assumed that each probability density function of pattern classes can be approximated by the Gaussian probability density function. However, this assumption is not always appropriate in practice. The exact shape of class probability density function is supposed to be expressed as an original histogram. And if the shape of the histogram is largely different from the Gaussian function the classification results might include large error.
Therefore, there seems no need to persist in Gaussian probability density function as the only representation of class histograms. In other words, if there are other functions which can approximate the original histograms more accurately than the Gaussian function can, we would better to adopt one of those functions as a representation of a pattern class histogram.
From this point of view, a probability density function was expanded by adding another parameter to the Gaussian function so that it can approximate histograms more flexibly and still can include the Gaussian function itself as a special case.
The expanded function used here is a non-symmetric Gaussian function which has two independent standard deviations for each Side of the mode so that it can approximate the anti-symmetricity of class histogram.
In this paper some characteristics of the non-symmetric Gaussian probability density function were studied. Then the fitness to the original histogram was examined by chi-square test and compared with that of the conventional symmetric Gaussian function. The comparison between symmetric and non-symmetric function was accomplished also on the results of a test run.

If CH isn't true, this means $$2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_2\:.$$ Does this imply: $$2^{\aleph_1}=\aleph_3$$ or does the CH hold only for $\aleph_0$ and $\aleph_1$? Thanks

Why should $2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_2$ if CH fails? – t.b. Sep 5 '12 at 9:18

No, CH just says that $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_1$, so its failure just says that $2^{\aleph_0}\ne\aleph_1$. We know that $2^{\aleph_0}\ge\aleph_1$, but it's consistent that $2^{\aleph_0}$ be any cardinal $\aleph_\alpha$ such that $\alpha\ge 1$ and $\operatorname{cf}\alpha>\omega$. In particular, $2^{\aleph_0}$ could be $\aleph_n$ for any $n>1$.
If $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_2$, $2^{\aleph_1}$ would have to be at least $\aleph_2$, but it could be much bigger. For instance, it's consistent that $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_2$ and $2^{\aleph_1}=\aleph_{17}$.

The negation of the Continuum Hypothesis does not entail that there is only one infinity strictly between the natural numbers and the real numbers. In fact, given any any infinite cardinal $\kappa$ there is a cardinal $\lambda \geq \kappa$ such that $\text{ZFC} + 2^{\aleph_0} = \lambda$ is consistent (assuming the consistency of ZFC itself, of course).
Even if we assume that $2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_2$, it could still be that $2^{\aleph_1} = 2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_2$ -- this happens, for example, under the Proper Forcing Axiom, or more simply under the assumption of Martin's Axiom with $2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_2$. (The Proper Forcing Axiom is a strengthening of Martin's Axiom -- well, formally a strengthening of $\text{MA} ({\aleph_1})$ -- which fixes the size of the continuum at $\aleph_2$.)
On the other hand, we can have $2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_2$ and $2^{\aleph_1} > \aleph_3$. Very similar techniques for showing the consistency of $\neg \text{CH}$ can be applied to give the above.
The most general statement in this realm is Easton's Theorem which essentially says that except for certain basic restrictions, the function $\aleph_\alpha \mapsto 2^{\aleph_\kappa}$ can be consistently arbitrary.

Wednesday morning (11/27/13) the Charger Rocket Works (CRW) team, which operates under the Propulsion Research Center banner, learned of their acceptance in the 8th NASA Student Launch Competition. The team had one week to produce a proposal for the 8 month long NASA competition which finishes with a launch in Salt Lake City, Utah on May 14, 2014.
The objective of this competition is for a student team to design, build, and fly a reusable rocket carrying a scientific payload. The students learn of the project life cycle by documenting progress of their rocket design and presenting it to a panel of engineers and scientist in the industry. Throughout the competition the participating university teams are judged based on design reviews, safety, successful testing, and outreach.
Last year, the CRW team placed 6th out of 37 university teams in the national competition. The team was within 5% of the maximum score.

How to: Specify a Merge Article Resolver (Replication Transact-SQL Programming)
When defining an article for a merge publication, you can specify a custom conflict resolver. For more information, see Advanced Merge Replication Conflict Detection and Resolution. Microsoft SQL Server includes a number of predefined custom conflict resolvers, or you can write your own. If you need to implement custom logic that is executed for each replicated row, not just for conflicting rows, see How to: Implement a Business Logic Handler for a Merge Article (Replication Programming).
To register a custom conflict resolver
 1. If you plan to register your own custom conflict resolver, create one of the following types:
 2. To determine if the desired resolver is already registered, execute sp_enumcustomresolvers (Transact-SQL) at the Publisher on any database. This displays a description of the custom resolver as well as the class identifier (CLSID) for each COM-based resolver registered at the Distributor or information on the managed assembly for each business logic handler registered at the Distributor.
 3. If the desired custom resolver is not already registered, execute sp_registercustomresolver (Transact-SQL) at the Distributor. Specify a name for the resolver for @article_resolver; for a business logic handler, this is the friendly name of the assembly. For COM-based resolvers, specify the CLSID of the DLL for @resolver_clsid, and for a business logic handler, specify a value of true for @is_dotnet_assembly, the name of the assembly for @dotnet_assembly_name, and the fully-qualified name of the class that overrides BusinessLogicModule for @dotnet_class_name.
 NoteNote
 If a business logic handler assembly is not deployed in the same directory as the Merge Agent executable, in the same directory as the application that synchronously starts the Merge Agent, or in the global assembly cache (GAC), you need to specify the full path with the assembly name for @dotnet_assembly_name.
 4. If the resolver is a COM-based resolver:
 - Copy the custom resolver DLL to the Distributor for push subscriptions or to the Subscriber for pull subscriptions.
 NoteNote
 Microsoft custom resolvers can be found in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\COM directory.
 - Use regsvr32.exe to register the custom resolver DLL with the operating system. For example, executing the following from the command prompt registers the SQL Server Additive Conflict Resolver:
 regsvr32 ssradd.dll

 5. If the resolver is a business logic handler, deploy the assembly in the same folder as the Merge Agent executable (replmerg.exe), in the same folder as an application that invokes the Merge Agent, or in the folder specified for the @dotnet_assembly_name parameter in step 3.
 NoteNote
 The default installation location of the Merge Agent executable is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\COM.
To specify a custom resolver when defining a merge article
 1. If you plan to use a custom conflict resolver, create and register the resolver using the above procedure.
 2. At the Publisher, execute sp_enumcustomresolvers (Transact-SQL) and note the name of the desired custom resolver in the value field of result set.
 3. At the Publisher on the publication database, execute sp_addmergearticle (Transact-SQL). Specify the name of the resolver from step 2 for @article_resolver and any required input to the custom resolver using the @resolver_info parameter. For stored procedure-based custom resolvers, @resolver_info is the name of the stored procedure. For more information about required input for resolvers supplied by Microsoft, see Microsoft COM-Based Resolvers.
To specify or change a custom resolver for an existing merge article
 1. To determine if a custom resolver has been defined for an article, or to get the name of the resolver, execute sp_helpmergearticle (Transact-SQL). If there is a custom resolver defined for the article, its name will be displayed in the article_resolver field. Any input supplied to the resolver will be displayed in the resolver_info field of the result set.
 2. At the Publisher, execute sp_enumcustomresolvers (Transact-SQL) and note the name of the desired custom resolver in the value field of the result set.
 3. At the Publisher on the publication database, execute sp_changemergearticle (Transact-SQL). Specify a value of article_resolver, including the full path for business logic handlers, for @property, and the name of the desired custom resolver from step 2 for @value.
 4. To change any required input for the custom resolver, execute sp_changemergearticle (Transact-SQL) again. Specify a value of resolver_info for @property and any required input to the custom resolver for @value. For stored procedure-based custom resolvers, @resolver_info is the name of the stored procedure. For more information about required input, see Microsoft COM-Based Resolvers.
To unregister a custom conflict resolver
 1. At the Publisher, execute sp_enumcustomresolvers (Transact-SQL) and note the name of the custom resolver to remove in the value field of the result set.
 2. Execute sp_unregistercustomresolver (Transact-SQL) at the Distributor. Specify the full name of the custom resolver from step 1 for @article_resolver.
This example creates a new article and specifies that the SQL Server Averaging Conflict Resolver be used to calculate the average of the UnitPrice column when conflicts occur.
DECLARE @publication AS sysname;
DECLARE @article AS sysname;
SET @publication = 'AdvWorksSalesOrdersMerge';
SET @article = 'Products';
EXEC sp_addmergearticle
 @publication = @publication,
 @article = @article,
 @source_object = @article,
 @article_resolver = 'Microsoft SQL Server Averaging Conflict Resolver',
 @resolver_info = 'UnitPrice';
GO
This example changes an article to specify using the SQL Server Additive Conflict Resolver to calculate the sum of the UnitsOnOrder column when conflicts occur.
DECLARE @publication AS sysname;
DECLARE @article AS sysname;
SET @publication = 'AdvWorksSalesOrdersMerge';
SET @article = 'Products';
EXEC sp_changemergearticle
 @publication = @publication,
 @article = @article,
 @property='article_resolver',
 @value='Microsoft SQL Server Additive Conflict Resolver';
EXEC sp_changemergearticle
 @publication = @publication,
 @article = @article,
 @property='resolver_info',
 @value='UnitsOnOrder';
GO

10 Anti-Tobacco Champions Celebrated During Non-Smoking Week
The Lung Association & Heart and Stroke Foundation recognize
community leadership on tobacco issues
VANCOUVER - January 18, 2013 - A fearless smoke-free housing advocate, a trailblazing post-secondary institution, and a retired city councillor are among 10 individuals and organizations recognized as 2013 Champions for Tobacco-Free Living Award Winners by the BC Lung Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation (BC & Yukon).
The awards, launched for the first time this year, will be presented during National Non-Smoking Week (January 20 to 26, 2013). Winners were nominated by community members, public health staff and health care professionals in BC, all of whom felt their nominees were making great advances to clear the air of second-hand smoke, help people quit and encourage British Columbians to stay tobacco-free.
"Recent headlines have many thinking the most pressing public health concerns are obesity and lack of physical activity, or perhaps illegal drug use. All are important. However, the leading cause of preventable death in BC is tobacco-related illness," says Scott McDonald, CEO, BC Lung Association. "Thanks to Champions like these we continue to make progress on this important issue."
British Columbia has some of the strongest tobacco control legislation in Canada and the lowest smoking rate (14 percent) of any province or territory. Still, there is more work to be done – and these 10 Champions are helping lead the way.
"We feel it's extremely important to honour and acknowledge the important work being done by individuals and organizations to affect positive change on tobacco issues. We hope to inspire others to do the same," adds Diego Marchese, CEO, Heart and Stroke Foundation (BC & Yukon). "Reducing tobacco use and exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke are amongst the most important measures available to increase overall public health."

As the regional manager for The Medicine Shoppe, a tobacco-free pharmacy chain, Ray is committed to improving and increasing pharmacists' ability to help customers become tobacco-free and manage their chronic health challenges. Since joining the pharmacy chain seven years ago, Ray has put his entrepreneurial strengths to work, helping establishing a course in quit smoking counselling for pharmacists, as well as developing partnerships with the BC Lung Association QuitNow Team, the Canadian Mental Health Association and others. Based on the program's success, Ray is currently furthering plans to take the training national. Download Ray's full story
Dr. Bass has fought the dangers of tobacco use at all levels from advocating smoke-free workplaces, to helping smokers to quit, to rallying against the only industry allowed to market a lethal product that kills its users. Originally from the US, Dr. Bass joined the Vancouver Health Department in 1975. Soon after, he collaborated with the BC Medical Association to founded its Tobacco and Illness Committee. This trailblazing group of physicians helped reframe thinking on tobacco addiction as an epidemic, tobacco as a dangerous product and the tobacco industry as a main propagator of the epidemic. In 1989, he founded the 'BC Doctors' Stop-Smoking Program' to help BC doctors help their patients to stop smoking. In 1997, the program evolved into 'the Society for Clinical Preventive Care', which sought until 2007 to make all effective forms of clinical prevention a reality. He continues fighting today, tireless in his efforts to make a difference.
Rose Marie suffers from limited mobility and endurance due to chronic health issues. In 2007, due to worsening health, she began to search for an affordable social housing solution on a 'Persons-with-Disability' income. She found Kiwanis Park Place, a social housing complex near Crescent Beach, and accepted rental of what she understood to be a smoke-free unit. Upon settling in, however, Rose Marie found herself surrounded by smokers and at the centre of the latest battleground in the fight against tobacco: other people's homes. Today, Rose Marie is a leading advocate and trailblazer in the fight for increased smoke-free housing options. Download Rose Marie's full story
A retired oncologist and long-standing advocate for tobacco-free living, Dr. Coy supports any and all efforts to reduce British Columbians use of and exposure to tobacco, be it by backing increased tobacco cessation support funding, or speaking out in favour of tougher tobacco legislation and policies. Dr. Coy's crowning achievement was leading the Capital Regional District's Smoke-Free Task Force since the late 1980s. The task force worked tirelessly to implement smoking bans in all public places in Victoria and its surrounding areas, and was the first region in Canada to do so. They also succeeded in increasing school education, prevention and quit smoking programs and building public awareness of the harmful effects of second-hand smoke in homes and vehicles, particularly on children. Download Dr. Coy's full story
The first BC resort to declare itself smoke-free in 2009, Grouse Mountain is committed to promoting a health-oriented, family-friendly environment. Now in their fifth year as a smoke-free resort, Grouse Mountain is frequently asked to share lessons learned with other BC resorts considering changes to their tobacco policies and continues to support employees' efforts to quit by making them aware of free support available and subsidizing quit-smoking aids. The largest youth employer on Vancouver's North Shore, and host to more than a million visitors per year, Grouse Mountain's smoke-free status makes an important public statement about the serious hazards of tobacco use.
A lifelong anti-tobacco activist, Errol was best known in years past for his alter ego, 'The Grim Reaper,' who would attend public events where tobacco products were promoted to raise awareness of cigarette makers' subversive youth marketing strategies. Today, Errol heads Airspace Action on Smoking and Health, a citizens advocacy group with whom he continues his tireless fight to put cigarette makers out of business. Under the Airspace umbrella, he embarked on his 'Journey for a Tobacco-Free World' in 2010, a cross-country journey on foot from Vancouver Island to Imperial Tobacco's headquarters in Montreal to draw attention to tobacco use issues.

A provider of housing and support solutions for people living with mental illness and addictions, Raincity Housing manages one of BC's few 100% smoke-free public housing facilities: Fraser Street Apartments. In 2009, Fraser Street Apartments underwent a one-year smoke-free pilot program. At the time, 19 of 21 residents were smokers. Today, Fraser Street Apartments is one of BC's only 100% smoke-free social housing sites. Committed to providing a safe, healthy, smoke-free environment for their tenants, management and staff are changing public perceptions about the possibilities in a social housing environment.

A retired city councillor and outspoken advocate for smoke-free public places, Dan's many credits include helping to implement Salmon Arm's first bylaw on smoking restrictions in 1989 and establishing Salmon Arm's Coalition for Health, which is a multi-disciplinary committee of community members and health professionals dedicated to reducing harm from second hand smoke. An advocate on tobacco issues for more than 30 years, Today Dan remains as committed as ever. His current focus is the promotion of a Smoke-Free Parks and Beaches bylaw for Salmon Arm. Download Dan's full story.
Since its Wellness Centre was established in 2004, TRU has become one of BC's most active and innovative post-secondary institutions regarding tobacco issues. During the past eight years, TRU's Wellness Centre team, together with the university's Respiratory Therapy Department, have improved student and staff access to quit smoking resources, expanded campus-wide smoke-free policies, and fostered partnerships between faculties such as Nursing and Social Work to deliver quit smoking campaigns that serve as both student learning and mentoring opportunities. Download TRU's full story.
An elder with the Stellat'en First Nation in Fraser Lake, Leonard played a key role in the development of BC's community-based Aboriginal Tobacco Strategy, which he continues to promote today. He also speaks regularly at conferences and directly with individuals on the ceremonial versus recreational misuse of tobacco. Leonard's role as a spiritual healer, as well as his personal experience as someone formerly addicted to tobacco, makes him a trusted and respected resource on health issues for BC's aboriginal community where smoking rates are as much as three times the provincial average.

With record heat waves sweeping across the country this summer, Americans are using camping to seek refuge from stifling concrete jungles in cool, shady outdoor landscapes. Camping also offers an affordable summer vacation option for those looking to get away without boarding a plane.
During the recent Pacific Northwest Heatwave, record temperatures in Portland, Oregon, reached 115 degrees. Yet only 60 miles away, campsites on Mt. Hood were 20 degrees cooler with a forgiving forest cover and refreshing mountain lakes. Camping allows for spontaneity, where you can grab your gear and leave town as soon as temperatures start to rise.
Looking to turn triple-digit dog days into a relaxing vacation? Check out these six tips on where to camp when you're seeking some shelter from the swelter.
1. Get to Higher Ground
When looking for a campsite in the heart of summer, our first recommendation is to check a topographic map of the area in which you want to camp. The higher elevation you can find, the cooler you will be. The change in atmospheric pressure causes a drop in temperature averaging about 3.5 degrees for every 1,000 feet you go up.
You don't need to be in the backcountry on top of a 14er to feel the change in temperature. Many drive-in and RV-accessible campsites offer moderate altitude and a cool relief on the sides of mountains. The Dyrt camper Erin D. beat the heat at Mount Mitchell State Park in North Carolina: "We left home and the temperature was well into the high 90s, however, the temperature on top of the mountain never came above 62!"
3 places to stay cool and up high:
- Stanley Lake Campground— Idaho (6,000 ft above sea level)
- Blue Lakes Dispersed Camping — Colorado (9,342 ft above sea level)
- Mount Mitchell State Park — North Carolina (6,684 ft above sea level)
2. Head to the Coast
A sea breeze is as close as it gets to natural air conditioning. And when all else fails, a dip in the ocean is a surefire way to cool off. If you live by the coast or are willing to take a camping road trip, head to these campsites for saltwater relief and some pretty unforgettable sunsets.
3 places to fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves:
- Point Reyes National Seashore — California (Drakes Bay)
- Mount Desert Campground — Maine (Somes Sound)
- Assateague State Park — Maryland (Atlantic Ocean)
3. Cool Down Up North
When the temperatures start to rise in your neck of the woods, perhaps the best thing to do is jump in the car and head north. These campgrounds nestled near the Canadian border all have high average temperatures sitting in the mid-70s.
These campsites not only offer mild summers but are forested, remote, and incredibly scenic. Looking for a campsite by the water where you won't see another soul? Head to remote Umbagog Lake where a boat drops you off and picks you up at your site. Want to camp near waterfalls and above the turquoise blue waters of Lake Michigan? Head to Twelve Mile Beach. Of course, if you are brave enough to dip your toes into ice-cold alpine lakes and want to hike in the shadow of mountains still dotted with patches of snow, head to a spot in Glacier National Park.
3 places that are likely north of where you are:
- Umbagog Lake Campground — New Hampshire (40 miles from the Canadian border)
- Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore / Twelve Mile Beach — Michigan (117 miles from the Canadian border)
- Many Glacier Campground — Montana (16 miles from the Canadian border)
4. Soak, Swim, and Float in Natural Springs
The most foolproof method for staying cool is probably keeping yourself submerged in water all day. If you are looking to wade, lounge or float to your heart's content, we recommend camping at a shady oasis like one of these natural springs.
A pro tip from camper Audie Koe: "Always camp next to water so you can spend the day swimming and keeping cool." Take a page from Audie's book and head to these campsites at natural springs.
3 places to wade the day away:
- Juniper Springs Recreation Area — Florida (Natural Spring at Headwaters of Juniper Creek)
- Johnson Shut-Ins State Park — Missouri (East Fork Black River)
- Krause Springs — Texas (Natural Springs)
5. Flee to the Forest
Chances are one of the reasons your home is getting so hot is because of exposure to the sun. Most urban and suburban areas are susceptible to becoming urban heat islands, pushing temperatures sometimes up to 20 degrees higher than they would be in an area without development. Many campsites have that coveted covered forest, making them ideal spots to pitch your tent or park your RV during the summer heat.
One of the main discomforts of camping is the heat your tent or RV will take on if it sits in the sun all day. It is recommended in sunny campsites to take down your tent during the daytime to avoid this. Instead, follow camper Sue Belden's recommendation to "find a shady spot and sit still."
3 places to sleep under the trees:
- Roam Beyond Kalaloch — Washington (Hoh National Forest)
- Grapevine Campground — New Mexico (Gila National Forest)
- Gifford Woods State Park — Vermont (Green Mountain National Forest)
6. Camp at a Resort, With a Pool!
If you live in an area of the country that isn't bordered by an ocean or lake, don't fret! You can still getaway for the weekend and stay cool while doing it. Many campgrounds and camping resorts have pools on-site so you can kick back relax all day without ever having to get in the car.
Want to get away and keep your kids entertained? Head to Moose Hillock for a pool that rivals an amusement park and offers swim-in movie showings at night. Planning to park it in the Arizona desert and want to make sure you can plug in your rig and crank the A/C while you're not wading in the pool? The South Forty RV Ranch has the hookup. Looking to unwind at a natural hot spring? Pull the RV over at Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs.
3 places to relax by the pool:
- Moose Hillock — New Hampshire (Tropical pool with waterslides and swim in movie theater)
- South Forty RV Ranch — Arizona (Pool and hot tub open year-round)
- Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs — Montana (Pools heated by natural hot springs)

The study of the properties, circulation and distribution of groundwater.
In South Africa the term geohydrology and hydrogeology are used interchangeably. In theory hydrogeology is the study of geology from the perspective of its role and influence in hydrology, while geohydrology is the study of hydrology from the perspective of the influence on geology.
Why is geohydrology important?
Geohydrology allows the understanding, quantification and management of groundwater resources.

The AutoCron service fires periodically jobs like open a webpage (typically a QFQ page which does some database actions) or send mail.
 - AutoCron will be triggered via system cron. Minimal time distance therefore is 1 minute. If this is not sufficient, any process who starts …/typo3conf/ext/qfq/Classes/External/autocron.php via /usr/bin/php frequently might be used.
 - Custom start time and frequency.
 - Per job:
 - If a job still runs and receives the next trigger, the running job will be completed first.
 - If more than one trigger arrives during a run, only one trigger will be processed.
 - If the system misses a run, it will be played as soon as the system is online again.
 - If multiple runs are missed, only one run is fired as soon as the system is online again.
 - Running and processed jobs can easily be monitored via lastRun, lastStatus, nextRun, inProgress.
 - Setup a system cron entry, typically as the webserver user ('www-data' on debian).

AutoCron Jobs of type 'website' needs the php.ini setting:

The system cron service will call the QFQ AutoCron every minute. QFQ AutoCron checks if there is a pending job, by looking for jobs with nextRun <= NOW(). All found jobs will be fired - depending on their type, such jobs will send mail(s) or open a webpage. A webpage will mostly be a local T3 page with at least one QFQ record on it. Such a QFQ record might do some manipulation on the database or any other task.
A job with nextRun'=0 or 'inProgress!=0 won't never be started.
Due to checking inProgress, jobs will never run in parallel, even if a job needs more than 1 minute (interval system cron).
Job: repeating
 - frequency: '1 MINUTE', '2 DAY', '3 MONTH', ….
After finishing a job, nextRun will be increased by frequency. If nextRun still points in the past, it will be increased by frequency again, until it points to the future.
Job: asynchronous
 - frequency:
An 'AutoCron' job becomes 'asynchronous' if frequency is empty. Then, auto repeating is switched off.
If nextRun is > 0 and in the past, the job will be fired. After the job has been done,

INVESTIGATION OF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE-FREE ACTIVE STATIC DISCHARGING TECHNIQUE FOR FIXED AND ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT.
Final rept. for May-Dec 63,
DYNASCIENCES CORP FORT WASHINGTON PA
Pagination or Media Count:
An active electrostatic discharger was designed and constructed for the elimination of electrostatic charges from aircraft. This discharger maintains the charge potential of any type of aircraft at a very low level. The radio frequency interference generated by the corona discharge through the active discharger is very much lower than the interference generated by discharge from an aircraft equipped with passive dischargers. Corona discharge probes for use with active electrostatic dischargers were studied with regard to their current and R. F. interference characteristics. Characteristics of numerous probe designs were evaluated through wind tunnel tests. A reduction of 40 to 60 db. dependent upon frequence and conditions in the RFI noise due to static charge buildup in helicopters can be anticipated by using active discharging techniques. Author

Scared Now?
Trick or Treat
Prior to video games existed the idea of horror. Like film and literature before it, games have tried to emulate the same panic and fear-inducing concepts of its brethren. It's safe to say that for the most part that they have failed. Games have essentially devolved from creating tension and real suspense in favor of grotesque abominations and cheap thrills.
I may be merely generalizing, but there hasn't truly been a genuine horror experience in video games. There have been bits and pieces of a more grandiose idea but nothing beyond that. Here are five suggestions I have for developers to create realistic horror in video games.
5. Good Controls
So let me get this straight — I'm a government agent trained in all manners of fighting techniques, except I am limited to the movements of a Lego brick. How cool is that? Back in old school Resident Evil this concept was used to usher in the feeling of tension through limited movement. Today this is known as poor control mechanics. Giving players free control of their character means focusing less on the "tension" of controlling like garbage and more on creating real horror. Go figure.
4. Inferential Fear
Fear is something that occurs organically in our minds. As such, every aspect of your experience should be just that, organic. I don't need grotesque imagery or nightmarish halls of the infernal to scare me. All it takes is for you to simply walk up and steal the small sense of security I have. Show the player how real the fear in your world is to the fear that exists in real life. All children are afraid of the dark, as unorthodox or as illogical as that may seem. Yet since we were little, we knew we were never alone in the darkness.
3. Death
The idea of failure in games is what makes games less emotionally thrilling. By nature, games are designed in a way that warrants multiple playthroughs. That doesn't mean demeaning the overall experience however. It has become paramount to arm the player with godlike powers, thus dispelling the instantaneous illusion of fear. The player must be shown immediately what death and failure means, and in an overall sense the negative aspect that death represents. That is to say, you should not be cheap or overall weak in your game design. Rather, invest your time to make your player helpless against the idea of fear.
2. Not Seeing is Believing
Too often in horror, we are treated to the true face of evil. The Antagonist that represents all our nightmares and horrifying experiences. The effect is two-fold; while you immediately display terror and a mix of emotions, you show the player what to expect. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's just used with too much liberty in video games. How many times do I have to kill the annoying enemy that scared me from the first hour? By the end of the game, I'm just annoyed and frustrated at the monster, rather than feel tense and frightened. Use a little more tact and show players that the idea that the monster you created is a lot more terrifying than the actual creature.
1. Be Scary
How's that for being redundant? When all else fails at the end, just remember that being a sadistic turdball works too. Give the player connections, ties through character development and interaction. Then show the player what you do best — being scary. Prey on them. Show them the deep psychological aspects of the human mind. Shatter their expectations of what is real and not real. So deeply ingrained to the point where they fear the myopic details of their lives. Show them why people are afraid of the dark.
These suggestions are far from complete, or for that matter well reasoned. However, I still have hope for a truly scary video game to come along. Hopefully Alan Wake fills that niche. Yes that was a shameless plug; hooray for being professional.

 Personally, I find it hard by all forms of media to be scared. I think what makes me like older horror games (Resident Evil etc.) is the fact the the atmosphere is truly dark. As you said, restrictions in movement were what made those particular games thrilling, but I loved the puzzle elements along with the scarcity of ammo. I miss survival horror games that actually forced you to be resourcful, giving an aspect of well.. survival. Opposed to the action shoot em up that Resident Evil is today.
 If they brought back the bad controls just to bring back the dark atmosphere of RE, it would be a fair trade to me. The camera angles made it a cinematic experience for me, not knowing what lurks around the corner.
 Freedom of control make things less scary, for me at least :)


The effect of surface temperature on fingerprintsFeatured science projectScience project video
popular science fair projects
Complexity level:
Project cost ($):
Time required:
4 hours for preparation, 1 hour to carry out the science fair project experiment
Material availability:
Easily obtained at a supermarket
Safety concerns:
This science fair project was done to investigate the effect of surface temperature on the quality of fingerprints obtained. The testing was done by extracting fingerprints from drinking glasses at various temperatures.
The fingerprint obtained from a surface with a lower temperature will be clearer.
The skin on the surface of our palm and feet has many ridges, called friction ridges. Every person will have a pattern of ridges that is unique only to them, and which will not change over time. The pattern of ridges on fingers is called the fingerprint.
These ridges help in amplifying the vibrations felt by our fingers, when rubbed over rough surfaces. They help us to feel and perceive the texture of a surface. Friction ridges also give us a better grip on smooth, wet, oily or slippery surfaces.
Fingerprints that are left on a surface are either patent or latent. Patent prints are left by substances like ink, blood, oil or paint, while latent prints are left on surfaces by skin secretions like oil or sweat. The latter is normally not visible to the naked eye. Forensic experts normally find and use the fingerprints found in a crime scene to identity the person or persons who had been present at the scene.
Scientific Terms
Fingerprint, friction ridges, amplify, vibration, patent fingerprint, latent fingerprint
The materials required for this science fair project:
- 6 drinking glasses
- 1 bag of ice
- 1 hot plate
- 1 thermometer
- Tap water
- 1 bottle of cocoa powder
- 1 soft brush
- 1 roll of transparent cellophane tape (30mm width)
- A4 size paper
- 1 plastic glove
- 1 piece of cloth
- 1 black marker
1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is the temperature of the drinking glasses. The dependent variable is the clarity of the fingerprint made on the glass. This is determined by comparing powdered copies of fingerprints obtained on pieces of cellophane tape. The constants (control variables) are the drinking glasses, the finger used to create the fingerprints, the cocoa power as well as the softness of the brush used.
2. Label the 6 drinking glasses as 0°C, 10°C, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C and 50°C respectively with the black marker. Record the temperatures on a sheet of A4 paper, 50mm apart.
3. Wear the plastic glove and carefully clean the drinking glasses with a wet cloth, removing all stains and fingerprints.
4. Fill the 6 glasses with tap water till they are about 80% full. Adjust the temperature of the water in each glass to 0°C, 10°C, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C or 50°C according to the temperature marked on each glass. Lower the temperature of the water by stirring in ice cubes, and increase the temperature of the water by placing the glass on a hot plate and setting it to the appropriate temperature.
5. Check the temperature of the water in each glass using a thermometer. Once the temperature of both the water and glass has stabilized, remove the plastic glove. Press a finger firmly against the surface of the glass to create a fingerprint.
6. Wear the plastic glove again and pour the water out from the glass. Allow the temperature of the glass to return to room temperature.
7. Sprinkle some cocoa powder on the surface of the glass. Using the soft brush gently dust the powder off the glass surface.A fingerprint will appear. Place the adhesive side of the transparent cellophane tape over the fingerprint to collect it. Then, stick the piece of tape onto the A4 paper, under the appropriate label.
8. Once all 6 prints have been taken and placed on the A4 paper, make a comparison and rate them 1 to 6. 1 being the clearest fingerprint and 6 being the least clear fingerprint.
The results show that the fingerprint obtained at 0°C was the most clear., The quality of the fingerprint obtained becomes more unclear as the temperature increases.
Glass temperature 0°C 10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C 50°C
Fingerprint Rating 1 2 3 4 5 6
The hypothesis that fingerprints obtained from a surface with lower temperature will be clearer has been proven to be true.
Fingerprints are now used for identification of individuals and at crime scene investigations. Some banks even use fingerprint detectors to verify the identity of a person before financial transactions are permitted. Access to certain restricted areas may also be controlled by fingerprint scanning. Sometimes, crossing country borders also requires fingerprint identification.
Also consider
The science fair project may be repeated by using different types of surfaces like marble, PVC or wood finishing.

Apply for Khula Letter Format in Urdu:
If you wish to apply for khula letter format in Urdu or how to apply for khula in Pakistan, you may contact us. This creates a higher value of the mahr, shifts his threat (T ) almost towards point 0, and his total external option becomes T + j, which is a high negative value. This policy eliminated imprisonment for promises of mahr values higher than 110 gold coins. It also removed jail from the total utility function in binding instances. The payments that were above the man's actual wealth (o) were also restricted. This paper explores the impact of independent income on women's divorce outcomes on khula letter format in Urdu or how to apply for khula in Pakistan.
Chance of Finding an Acceptable:
It also examines how it might increase their chances of finding an acceptable alternative. Out of 807 women who provided information about their occupations, 439 were housewives, while 368 were employed. If the case was arranged according to who initiated it, there were 153 divorce cases in which a woman worked and 233 that were home-wives. Female-initiated divorces saw 215 women employed, while 206 were housewives. This indicates a significantly higher percentage of women employed in this situation.
Divorce & Marriage Markets:
Both the divorce and marriage markets are influenced by children. Before requesting a separation, parents must look at the legal options of khula letter format in Urdu or how to apply for khula in Pakistan and consider their responsibilities regarding child support and cost. Guardianship is both the responsibility of the mother and the right of the child for girls and boys under seven years old. From the time children reach nine and fifteen years old, guardianship is taken over by the father. If the agreement is not made, the father must pay child support. Mahr can help women in negotiating post-divorce child custody.
How to Apply For Khula in Pakistan:
Regarding the khula letter format in Urdu or how to apply for khula in Pakistan the Model This paper uses a model for collective bargaining to show how mahr affects the husband's and wife's joint utility (H) (W). This model shows that the husband and wife are presented with a list of goods and their budget. They then decide how to allocate the market and resources for these goods. The utility frontier line is the maximum level of consumption that a couple can achieve in a cooperative marriage based on their budget constraints. The following function on khula letter format in Urdu or how to apply for khula in Pakistan is the basis of their joint decision: max U(M) + (1 – )U(M) s.t budget, U(M), which is the spouse's utility from marriage, is U(M), the husband's utility from marriage.
Wife Bargaining Power:
Bis used to assign the wife's bargaining power in household decision-making, and 1 is the bargaining strength of the husband. Thus, 0 < < 1. Their share of non-income earnings, their income, and social norms (e.g., age, gender, and education) determine the value. Mahr (u) is another important factor in determining b. This determines b according to the Islamic marriage model. It also establishes the b in the outside option, which is the highest possible utility that a husband or wife can get outside of their marriage.
We welcome the readers to write for us.


Adding a language to Tableau Server
If you find yourself embedding Tableau Server but serving areas with languages that are not part of the standard set provided by default, it is possible to add support for additional language.
DISCLAIMER: Not supported by Tableau whatsoever, may break at any time, may void your warranty, proceed with caution!!!.
Updated 2018-05-09: New instructions for Tableau Server 10.5. A few things moved but it all works like before.
Adding a New Language
There are two parts to Tableau Server that are visible to the end user (only one when you fully embed):
 - vizportalclient: the UI of Tableau Server
 - vizqlserver: Draws all of the vizes that are embedded in an iframe.
These instructions will add a language to vizqlserver, but we'll also do some work on vizportalclient to make sure everything is in order.
There are three steps to adding a language:
 1. Adding an entry for the language into the Repository
 2. Duplicating an existing language's files and modifying
 3. Adjusting the JavaScript files of Tableau Server to make the language available
Adding an entry for the language into the Repository
Inside the Tableau Server PostgreSQL Repository, there is a table called language_prefs. If you SELECT * this, you'll find the languages that appear in the Language selection box for each user. Tableau Server also uses this table on startup to determine which languages exist in the server.
To add a Russian language pack:
INSERT INTO language_prefs VALUES
('ru','русский',900,'/help/en_US','ru_RU')
The values for the row are:
 1. The lowercase version of the language code ('ru' for Russian). This is how the language will be identified in other places throughout the Tableau Server code
 2. The name that will be visible in the drop-down selector in the Tableau Server UI
 3. An integer that determines the order the languages appear in the selector box for each user. The default pattern goes up by 100 each time, and there are 8 original languages, so our first new language is 900 and we'll just increment from there. I suppose you could rearrange the existing languages to put your new one to the top.
 4. The fourth value is the help file link pattern, which we'll leave pointed to the English help, because that's one thing we're not going to take into our own hands for translation.
 5. The last value is the language_locale code, with language lower-case and locale uppercase. 'ru_RU' in this case.
If you just tried this with the readonly user, you received a message that you don't have privileges. That user isn't named "readonly" for nothing. To do this warranty voiding action, you'll have to find a user with admin rights, which might be mentioned in various blog posts. If you can find the user and its password, you are qualified to continue.
At this point, when you restart Tableau Server it will try and look for the Russian language files. They don't exist yet, so we better create some.
Duplicating an existing language's files and modifying
Note: You'll want to copy all of the custom files you create before you do an upgrade, then put them back in place afterward, checking that no new values have been added to the jsstrings files for the supported languages. You also should keep a copy of the original vizportalMinLibs.js and messageformat_locales.js (and anything else you change) that you can substitute back in place so nothing gets messed up when you upgrade.
Note 2: In 10.0+, every content file has an equivalent .gz file which will be read if it exists. You can rename all of these with ".old" at the end so that the Apache server will ignore them. Or you can gzip your modified files to replace them. You also MUST follow these steps to disable server-side caching so that your new files will be delivered. There are also min.js versions of almost every JavaScript file. These are almost impossible to modify, so what you can do is change their names (and move somewhere safe) and then save the non-minified version with the .min.js ending. I supposed you could minify the files as well but that's beyond me.
Note 3 (10.5): In 10.5, the server-side caching seems to be less strong that before, so you may not need to disable it. However, the system is definitely looking for the min.js versions of the files, so make sure you do the duplication mentioned at the end of Note 2.
vizqlserver files
As mentioned earlier, the files that are involved in the actual display of a Viz (and web edit) come from vizqlserver. The JavaScript files that include those strings live in the directory (or its equivalent):
C:\Program Files{ (x86)}\Tableau\Tableau Server\{version}\vizqlserver\public\v_{versionnumber}\javascripts\
In this directory you'll find a set of files named "jsstrings_". Open up "jsstrings_en.js" and you'll find a JavaScript object with keys and text that clearly line up with every bit of text found in the viz iframe. We can use this as our template for translation. Save As a copy as "jsstrings_ru.js", and then modify something you'll see immediately once all the changes are in place. I suggest "ToolbarDownload:" or "ToolbarEdit:" as good candidates.
Eventually you'll want to translate all of these strings so that the end user gets the desired experience. This takes care of vizqlserver — the jsstrings file controls it all.
vizportalclient files
Now let's do some work on vizportalclient just to make sure the server doesn't balk when it looks for a language. Let's look in
C:\Program Files{ (x86)}\Tableau\Tableau Server\{version}\vizportalclient\public
Notice that there are directories for each language. Let's copy the 'en' folder and rename that copy 'ru'.
Earlier than 10.5: If you compare the files in each of the directories, you'll notice that they are all identical, with placeholders where the translated text goes. This is convenient and means there is no danger in just replicating the 'en' folder for each new language we add.
10.5: The files themselves actually have the real values for quite a few of the words in the HTML files themselves. If you remove (or rename) the .gz version of a file, the web server will use the basic HTML version. You can change the text directly (remember to only change text that is between the tags, and not any of the attributes of the HTML tags.
The next directory to make changes to varies between versions, so follow the correct instructions:
Earlier than 10.5:
C:\Program Files{ (x86)}\Tableau\Tableau Server\{version}\vizportalclient\public\loc
you'll find "__.json" files like "en.json" which include most of the strings that are used in the Tableau Server UI. Let's just copy en.json and rename is "ru.json". You could translate these later if you needed to, but for now let's leave them in English so we can still navigate when we test our new language.
10.5:
C:\Program Files{ (x86)}\Tableau\Tableau Server\{version}\vizportalclient\public\localize
you'll find "messages.language_locale.js" files like "messages_en_US.js" which include most of the strings that are used in the Tableau Server UI. Let's just copy en.js and rename is "ru.js". You could translate these later if you needed to, but for now let's leave them in English so we can still navigate when we test our new language.

There is a basic set of language_locale information around times, calendar dates, numbers, etc. in
C:\Program Files{ (x86)}\Tableau\Tableau Server\{version}\vizportalclient\public\locales
which do not need any changes — the codes for almost every locale are already here and ready.
Adjusting the JavaScript files of Tableau Server to make the language available
The actual JavaScript files that compose the functional "Tableau Server" application code have references that actually direct the correct localized content to be loaded. These also vary a bit depending on the version:
Before 10.5:
There are two more files we need to change to enable the new language, and we make the same change to both of them:
C:\Program Files{ (x86)}\Table

A U.S. government official is blaming Filipino immigrants for a Northern California county's high incidence of tuberculosis cases.
Solano County's Vallejo, home to many Fil Ams, is one of the nation's top 20 hot spots for TB.
Ron Chapman, the county's public health officer, said to a newspaper that one of the chief reasons for Vallejo's high ranking is due to its large number of Filipino immigrants.
Per Contra Costa Times: "He noted that the Philippines has the sixth-highest number of TB cases in the world. He added that the Filipino government works closely with the local health department to identify arrivals who suffer from the illness."
Tuberculosis cases statewide dropped to their lowest point since 1985. But from 2005 to 2006, there were more cases in 20 counties.
California has 10 of the nation's top big cities with TB cases, including San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, Los Angeles, Stockton, Oakland, Sacramento, Ventura and Fresno.
The number of TB cases in California is at an all-time low but some drug-resistant strains have health officials worried.
The falling national TB rates is alarming cities with high immigrant population because they fear funding cuts.

height of a given pressure
approximates the actual height of a pressure surface above mean sea-level.
Therefore, a geopotential height observation represents the height of the
pressure surface on which the observation was taken.
A line drawn on a weather map connecting points of equal height (in meters)
is called a height contour. That means, at every point along a
given contour, the values of geopotential height are the same. An image
depicting the geopotential height field is given below.
Height contours are represented by the solid lines.
The small numbers along the contours are labels which identify the value of a
particular height contour (for example 5640 meters, 5580 meters, etc.).
This example depicts the 500 mb geopotential height field and temperatures
(color filled regions). The height field is given in meters with an
interval of 60 meters.

Farmers not hopeful about future
FARMERS are more pessimistic now than they have been for more than two years, according to a private survey.
The farmers say they feel this way in response to government policies and global economic uncertainty.
More farmers are expecting conditions to worsen rather than improve over the next year, according to the latest quarterly Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey, released yesterday.
The survey found that 35% of farmers expected conditions to worsen in the coming year, compared to 12% in the prior quarter.
Rabobank's Rural Australia general manager, Peter Knoblanche, said the fall in farmer confidence appeared to be influenced by factors outside the farm gate.
"Global market volatility and concerns about public policy issues were shown to have had the main dampening effect on farmer confidence this quarter," Mr Knoblanche said in a statement.
Nearly half of the farmers expecting conditions to worsen over the next year had nominated government interventionist policies as a major factor.
Farmers were concerned about the federal government's proposed carbon tax, the suspension of live cattle exports to Indonesia and the effect of mining and coal seam gas exploration on agriculture.
Only 18% of farmers expected the agricultural economy to improve, compared to 42% in the prior quarter.
Conditions were expected to stay the same by 42% of farmers.
Just over half, 52%, of all farmers surveyed believed coal seam gas exploration to be a threat to agriculture.
Only 7% believed coal seam gas exploration to be an opportunity, while 40% were undecided.
Of those farmers who expected conditions to improve over the next year, 52% cited rising commodity prices as the main influence, and 46% cited favourable seasonal conditions.
Mr Knoblanche said seasonal conditions were generally good or average across Australia.
There has been sufficient rain to maintain winter crops and pasture growth, although average spring rainfall would be needed to guarantee a decent harvest.
According to the survey, farmer sentiment had weakened in all states, with Queensland farmers the least confident and Tasmanian farmers the most confident.
All sectors recorded a decline in confidence.
Cattle farmers were the least confident, and dairy farmers were the most confident.
