A color ramp uses color to display its numeric value. You configure a color scale that consists of at least two arbitrary markers, each with a numeric value and a corresponding display color. As the input value changes, the color displayed changes to the color that corresponds to that value. Color ramps are useful for visually indicating data ranges, such as a warning range for when a gauge reaches dangerous values. For example, you can use a color ramp to set the color scale for intensity graphs and charts.
Complete the following steps to add and configure a color ramp.
- Right-click a dial, knob, or gauge and select Visible Items»Ramp from the shortcut menu to add a color ramp.
- Right-click the color ramp or a marker and select Marker Spacing»Arbitrary from the shortcut menu to switch the color ramp to arbitrary marker spacing.
- To change the value of an arbitrary marker on a color ramp, use the Operating tool to drag the marker to the value you want or use the Labeling tool to highlight the text of the marker and enter a new value. When you drag a marker, the cursor changes to to indicate the tool is over a marker.
- To add a new marker to the color ramp, right-click the position on the color ramp where you want to add a new marker and select Add Marker from the shortcut menu. LabVIEW adds a new marker to that location. You also can press the key while you drag an existing marker to the location where you want to add a marker.
(Mac OS X) Press the key. (Linux) Press the key.
- Use the Operating or Positioning tools to right-click the marker next to the color ramp and select Marker Color from the shortcut menu to change the color associated with a marker.
- Select the color you want from the color picker that appears.
- Resize the color ramp by moving the Positioning tool over one of the handles that appear on the midpoints of the color ramp. Drag the handle to the width you want.
||Note Meters have a visible color ramp by default.

This looks a lot like homework, and if so, please add the homework tag. Hint: Use the law of total probability to calculate $P\{Y = k\}$ from $P\{Y = k\mid X = n\}$ and the known values of $P\{X = n\}$. – Dilip Sarwate Feb 19 '13 at 13:54
Sure. Right, so that's what I have been doing, but it's not obvious. – darksky Feb 19 '13 at 13:56
Further hint: Can you tell what is the value of $P\{Y=10\mid X = 4\}$? How about $P\{Y=10\mid X=15\}$? You will need to use the fact that for a specific $k$, $P\{Y=k\mid X=n\}$ is zero for some choices of $n$, cancel some factorial terms in the rest, and sum a series. – Dilip Sarwate Feb 19 '13 at 14:02

Note that $Y\mid X=x\sim\mathrm{bi}(x,p)$ for $x=0,1,\ldots$ and so $$ P(Y=k\mid X=x)=\binom{x}{k}p^k(1-p)^{x-k},\quad k=0,\ldots,x. $$ Thus $$ P(Y=k)=\sum_{x=k}^\infty P(Y=k\mid X=x)P(X=x)=\sum_{x=k}^\infty\frac{x!}{k!(x-k)!}p^k(1-p)^{x-k}\frac{\lambda^x}{x!}e^{-\lambda}, $$ which by letting $x!$ cancel out we can write as $$ \frac{p^k}{k!}e^{-\lambda}\sum_{x=k}^\infty \frac{1}{(x-k)!}(1-p)^{x-k}\lambda^x. $$ Now write $\lambda^x$ as $\lambda^{x-k}\lambda^k$ and do a change of index so the sum starts at $x=0$. Then you should end up with $$ \frac{(p\lambda)^k}{k!}e^{- p\lambda}. $$

Well, your expression is actually incorrect. It should be $e^{- \lambda}$ – darksky Feb 19 '13 at 14:27
_USER_: You're right. I edited it, and it should be correct now. – Stefan Hansen Feb 19 '13 at 14:32
Can you please show some outline of the steps needed to go from second to the third line? – darksky Feb 19 '13 at 14:34
_USER_ The sum can be written as $$e^{-\lambda}{p^k\lambda^k\over k!}\sum_{j=0}^\infty {\bigl[((1-p)\lambda\bigr]^j\over j!}.$$(First cancel the $x!$. Then factor out $p^k e^{-\lambda}/k!$ and change indices in the sum.) – David Mitra Feb 19 '13 at 14:35
Thanks David! This is what I needed help with. – darksky Feb 19 '13 at 14:39

It is easiest to use probability generating functions $\mathcal{P}_Z(t) = \sum_{m=0}^\infty t^m \mathbb{P}\left(Z=m\right) = \mathbb{E}\left(t^Z\right)$. The probability generating function of a binomial random variable equals $\left(1-p + p t \right)^n$. Thus: $$ \mathcal{P}_Y(t) = \mathbb{E}\left(t^Y\right) = \mathbb{E}\left(\mathbb{E}\left(t^Y|X\right)\right) = \mathbb{E}\left( (1-p+t p)^X\right) = \mathcal{P}_X(1-p+ t p) = \exp\left(\lambda \left( \left(1-p + t p \right) -1 \right) \right) = \exp\left(\lambda p (t-1) \right) $$ The latter is the probability generating function of $\operatorname{Poi}\left(\lambda p \right)$.

Freight Brokers
It has often been asked here at this site, what exactly are freight brokers and what role they play in the industry as a whole.
Freight brokers are basically the go betweens acting for the persons requiring goods to be transported and the freight forwarders and transportation companies themselves. A freight brokerage could also be known as that which is legally termed a Property Broker. It is this term that has been established in the US by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration). The FMCSA is a division of the Department of Transportation in the US.
A freight broker or property broker is therefore a term which is used to describe a licensed individual, or a corporation acting to assist in facilitating the successful transportation of goods undertaken by a freight shipper or authorized motor carrier and the customer.
Brokers are not, by law required to carry cargo or liability insurance. However, these entities are required to hold several legal documents which include:
 - A Broker's Authority
 - Surety Bond or Trust Fund
 - Processing Agent
A Broker's Authority is obtained for a $300 fee (currently) through the FMCSA upon filing out the form OP-1 and filing for authority.
A Surety Bond or Trust Fund is obtained from either a bank or a bonding company. The form that is required to be filed with this is known as the BMC-84 or BMC-85. Each brokerage company or individual entity is required to prove they are able to pay the various truck lines, airlines, railroads, or any other entity being used by the broker. Before a bond is issued, the individual's credit and/or financial capacity is thoroughly investigated. This is because for some reason if the brokerage fails to pay the freight forwarder or transport company, the bonding company must instead pay.For this reason the bonding company is extremely cautious about who they decide to insure.
The Processing Agent is obtained by filling out form BOC-3 and costs $50.
This type of entity does not require a lawyer or other professional entity in order to file for a motor carrier or property broker authority. As for certification, there is actually only one level of brokerage, which is the Property Broker, or more commonly called the Freight Broker. The FMCSA does not recognize any other title.
That concludes this article, which we trust you found informative and useful.

is a small paper airplane developed as a more aerodynamic successor to the SkyOrion
paper airplane and as a faster alternative to the comparable Explorer
. With very sleek and sharp lines, even visually the StratoBolt appears to be a quick flier. In spite of its small, relatively stubby wings, the StratoBolt can fly surprising far.
The SkyOrion was designed and published prior to the introduction of features such as leading edge root extensions (LERX), and so it did not benefit or even take advantage of these advances. By November 2012, I decided that the SkyOrion had gone long enough without a successor, and so I began an effort to replace it with a better aircraft. This effort culminated in the StratoBolt.
The StratoBolt is quite versatile, and can be used by educators easily.
Some usages for educators could include studies of:
Hangtime versus other aircraft
Weight and balance

The plant is an orchid. They like to establish themselves on the bark of a tree, because they are an epiphytic plant. They like the shade that a tree provides. This plant will in no way harm that huge tree. Most plant lovers would be thrilled to have such a lovely plant given to them for free by nature. Good luck with plant.enter image description here

The noncommutative minimal model program (ncMMP) uses the techniques of Mori theory to classify noncommutative surfaces, which we assume to be finite over their centres. The main result is a very pleasing analogy with the commutative theory - a noncommutative surface is either birational to a unique minimal model, or a noncommutative ruled surface.
In this talk, I will explain how to associate a Brauer pair to a noncommutative surface, and how to run the ncMMP for these Brauer pairs. Although this is similar in spirit to the log MMP, there are some differences. Noncommutative ruled surfaces arise naturally in this context, and we will conclude with some structural results about them obtained by moduli theory.No Notes/Supplements Uploaded No Video Files Uploaded

Tailoring the Consumer Connection: The Role of Personalized Packaging and Gender in Influencing FMCG Purchase Intentions Across Product Categories
MetadataShow full item record
- Master of Science
Inspired by the increased use of personalized packaging as a marketing tool within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market, this thesis examines the impact of personalized packaging communication on consumer purchase intention. Through this exploration, we delve into the interaction between personalized packaging, gender, product category (hedonic vs utilitarian), and perceived hedonic value, thereby offering a comprehensive understanding of how these factors interact to influence buying decisions in the market. Hence, the study aims to answer the following research question: "How does the presence or absence of personalized packaging, combined with gender (male vs female) and product category (hedonic vs utilitarian), interact with perceived hedonic value to influence consumer purchase intention in the FMCG market?" Further, the literature review sets the foundation for the research's hypothesis, methodology and analysis. Based on previous findings, we propose that personalized packaging will increase consumers' purchase intention, and the perceived hedonic value of the product will mediate the relationship. Further, we suggest that product categories can be delved into a bidimensional division; utilitarian and hedonic products, where the product categories operate as a moderator. Additionally, gender is hypothesized to moderate the relation, where females are more positively affected by the concept. Lastly, we believe that there is a moderated mediation effect between the variables. Furthermore, to answer the hypotheses, we conducted a regression analysis and a moderator-, mediation-, and moderated mediation analysis using the PROCESS macro, respectively, model 1, 4 and 8, v.4.2 (Hayes, 2022) for SPSS. Our findings discovered an isolated impact of personalized packaging on the intention to purchase, along with a mediating effect of perceived hedonic value. It also revealed a genderbased effect, indicating that females react more favorably to personalized packaging. However, contrary to our expectations, the type of product (utilitarian vs hedonic) did not influence any relationships. Further, we discuss the findings, the limitations of the research, along with opportunities within the field.

Create a multiwatch
Welcome to the Multiwatch!
You can easily watch multiple streams from different platforms on one page. Just fill out the form below with your channel and chose the appropriate platform. You dont want to watch alone? Then send your friends easily the link generated and shown in the adressbar!
First Stream
Second stream
Third stream
Fourth stream
FAQ
How to create a Multiwatch
 1. Enter your desired channel names in the "channelname"-Box.
 2. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the channel name is spelled correctly! If a streamer is called XYZ-1, the - (minus / dash) sign must be added! Without the minus sign, the channel will not be found. You also have to respect upper and lower case.
 3. Select the platform on which the streamer can be found.
 4. Press "Start Multiwatch"!
 5. A new page will be loaded, which shows your streams.
How to find the stream name
Twitch and Trovo
The username is usually displayed in the URL, which is in your address bar. Get Twitch Username In this example the stream we are watching is Shroud and the username is the same (shroud).
Youtube
We offer two options for YouTube. You can enter the channel via video URL or by channel name. A video URL is structured like this: _URL_ The Video-URL for this Stream is mTH8yPp1Fr4, that you need to insert here on the page. Get Youtube Video ID If you want to enter the channel name, enter the exact channel name in the field (e.g. Hoerli). But make sure that the channel name really exists and that this is not a display name.
If the channel operator has not set a clear name for the channel name, you can add it by channel ID. You can find out a channel ID using the channel URL. This is structured as follows: _URL_ In this case UCZHAeCpvf4Cw7D1Oh3MAlbw is the Channel-ID.
Dailymotion
For Dailymotion we currently only offer the option of a video URL. The insertion is exactly the same as with Youtube.
How to share the Multiwatch
Now if you want to share your Multiwatch with your friends, just copy the link in the address bar and send it to your friends! They just have to open the link and see the same stream structure as you do.


# PHP example
In this example, we add authentication and access control to a PHP application.
To demonstrate both authentication and access control, our application will have several routes:
Route Description File
/ Home page (index.php) (opens new window)
/protected.php User dashboard, for logged in users only (opens new window)
/admin.php Admin dashboard, for admins only (opens new window)
/login.php Login page (opens new window)
/reset.php Password reset page (opens new window)
We cover each route below, along with an interactive sample at the end.
# Sample on PHP sandbox
Sandbox with code (opens new window)
Live demo (opens new window) (you may need to visit the sandbox first to "wake up" the demo server)
# PHP authentication
At a high level, PHP authentication is structured in 2 parts:
 1. Send an initial request to Userfront to get the JWT access token and save it as a cookie. This is what the signup and login forms do.
 2. Send the JWT access token as a cookie to your server with each subsequent request. To verify the JWT access token, we will use the PHP-JWT library (opens new window)
PHP authentication diagram
# Logged in vs. logged out
When someone new visits the Home page, they should see a signup form.
When a user is logged in and visits the Home page, they should see navigation to visit the dashboard, as well as a button to logout.
# Redirects
In the event that the user does not have access to a page, we want to redirect them:
If the user visits Redirect to
/protected.php when not logged in /login.php
/admin.php when not an admin /protected.php
TIP
With Userfront, a logged in user will have a JWT access token saved in their cookies as .
In this example, we use access.pn4qwpby
# Public route
For showing and hiding simple things that are not sensitive, we can check whether the user has a JWT access token.

<?php
// Read the JWT access token from the cookies
$tenantId = 'pn4qwpby';
if (isset($_COOKIE['access_' . $tenantId])) {
 $jwt = $_COOKIE['access_' . $tenantId];
}
$hasAccessToken = isset($jwt);
?>
If the user does have a token present, we can display items as though they are logged in, and if not, we can display items as though they are logged out.
Note
Checking for the presence of the JWT access token should only be used for showing or hiding non-sensitive items. For sensitive data, verify the JWT access token as described below.
For this site, we show a link to the dashboard if logged in, and we show the signup form if logged out.

<?php
if ($hasAccessToken) {
 echo '
';
 echo '
Dashboard
';
 echo '
Password reset
';
 echo '
';
 echo '
<button>Logout</button>';
} else {
 echo 'Login';
 echo '';
 echo '

';
}
?>
For any sensitive information, we want to protect our routes as described next.
# Preview
Logged in home page:
Logged out home page:
# Protected route
To protect a route in PHP, we need to verify that the JWT access token is valid and has not expired.
To verify our JWT access token, we can use the account's JWT public key.
We will use the open source PHP-JWT (opens new window) library to verify our JWT access tokens. We can install this library with composer:
composer require firebase/php-jwt
TIP
You can find your JWT public key in the Settings section of your dashboard.
Be sure to use your test mode key when in test mode, and your live mode key when in live mode.
If the JWT access token is not present or is invalid, we redirect to /login.php. Otherwise, we display the dashboard page.

<?php
// Use the PHP-JWT library _URL_
// Installed first with "composer require firebase/php-jwt"
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use \Firebase\JWT\JWT;
// Read the JWT access token from the cookies
$tenantId = 'pn4qwpby';
$jwt = $_COOKIE['access_' . $tenantId];
// If the JWT access token is not set, redirect to login page
if (!isset($jwt)) {
 header("Location: /login.php");
 die();
}

Effects of Voids Towards Electric Field in High Voltage Cable
Keywords:Electric Field, Voids, High Voltage Cable, COMSOL Multiphysics
This paper presents a study and analysis of the effects of voids on electric fields in high voltage cables. The main objectives were to determine the electric field distribution at contaminated XLPE cable by designing the model of the cable using simulation software and to evaluate the effect of the location of voids using different materials of voids toward the electric field in the cable. The goal of this research is to explore the electric field in insulation containing a void as it is affected by the position of the void and the type of material utilised. The investigation of electric field gives a view on the performance of XLPE as an insulator as its existence may shorten the life span of cable. As the result, Other than using different materials of a void, each material has been tested on its different distance of void from the conductor at 12mm, 14mm and 16mm. Consequently, the relationship of a different material of void with the effects of the electrical field is set up such that is random. All of the different materials used in the cable, aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) showed the least electric field. Decrement of electric field gives a view that this material can be used as nanofillers at optimum size.

Why Do Doctors Press on Your Stomach During a Checkup?
I was wondering, why do doctors push on your stomach during a checkup or if
you complain of abdominal pain?
Pressing on your stomach is a way to find out if the size of your internal organs is normal, to check if anything hurts, and to feel if anything unusual is going on.
Looking, listening, and feeling are all part of a physical exam. Doctors use all three to check that everything's normal or to evaluate a health condition. For example, doctors use sight to diagnose conditions like acne or pinkeye. They'll listen to a person's heartbeat to be sure it sounds normal. And they'll use touch to investigate areas that aren't visible to the naked eye, like bones or internal organs.
During a checkup, don't hesitate to ask your doctor questions if you're curious about why something's being done. Your doc is there to help, and answering questions is part of that!

Medieval Baths of Bukhara
Medieval Baths, Bukhara
The traditions of the eastern hammam baths originated in antiquity, in the 7th century, when the first bath houses appeared. The steam bath tradition came to Central Asia from the Arabs, and they, in turn, took over her among the Romans. The spread of hammams in Asia went in parallel with Islam. In the khan's palaces, the baths "Hammam Hon" were necessarily built. There were special courtiers serving these premises. But the baths should have been popularly accessible, because for Muslims, "purity is half the faith," as the prophet Muhammad himself said. Therefore, starting from the 10th century, bath rooms have become an integral part of urban planning. Baths were usually part of bazaar complexes or housed in public buildings located in the city center.
Baths were divided into city and quarter, as well as male and female. City-wide baths were built near bazaars, in the most crowded places. According to the records of the ancient historian Narshakhi dating back to the 10th century, several city-wide bathing establishments already existed in Bukhara. Visiting baths became a favorite form of relaxation for citizens. It is known that in the 19th century 16 hamams acted in the city.
The two oldest baths (XVI-XVII centuries) and the most famous baths in Bukhara - the Bozori Kord male bathhouse and the Hammami Kunjak female bathhouse are still operating today. Bozori Kord is located next to the Taki-Telpak-Furushon shopping dome, and Hammami Kunjak is very close to the Kalyan Minaret. These, like other similar rooms, are heated using boilers with boiling water located under the floor. Steam from the boiler is fed into the steam room through a special hole. Bukhara baths in terms of technical structure represented undoubted progress in those days, but even today they function successfully, as they did five hundred years ago. In addition to relaxation and bathing, they provide various types of massage services, including therapeutic and relaxing. A visit to the Bukhara bath hammam will leave a lasting impression and will be useful for the soul and body.

How do shoes affect foot skeleton stresses in racehorses? An international research team is tackling the question in a project that is likely to benefit the racing industry and protect horses from injury.
Horse hooves have the ability to naturally deform during locomotion and dissipate locomotor stresses, yet farriery approaches are used to increase performance and protect hooves from wear, the study team, writing in the journal PeerJ, noted.
"Previous studies have assessed the effect of different shoe designs on locomotor performance; however, no biomechanical study has hitherto measured the effect of horseshoes on the stresses of the foot skeleton in vivo [in the living organism].'
Musculoskeletal injury is one of the main animal welfare concerns in the racing industry, notes University of Queensland School of Biomedical Sciences research team leader Dr Olga Panagiotopoulou.
The researchers from the University of Queensland, the Royal Veterinary College in Britain, and Brown University in the United States are using a new approach that combines three-dimensional x-ray imaging technology with computer simulations and models to show the forces exerted on bones.
"This novel combination has enabled us to study the effect of a stainless steel horseshoe on skeletal stresses within the forefoot in a live racehorse,"" she explains. "This is the first time this combination of techniques has been used in large live animals such as horses.
"Future research using more animals will enhance our understanding of what regions of the horses' feet are most at risk of damage."
The method was used successfully in a preliminary case study at the Royal Veterinary College in London.
Royal Veterinary College vertebrate biomechanics and evolutionary anatomy researcher Professor John Hutchinson says further research is necessary.
"We need to undertake further studies with more horses moving at faster speeds and gaits and with a similar focus on the hind feet."
The research involved walking a thoroughbred between three-dimensional x-ray machines, an imaging technique developed by Professor Stephen Gatesy and colleagues at Brown University and used previously to view bone interaction in small animals such as fish and birds.
Panagiotopoulou used film industry animation techniques to transform the radiographic data into a life-size three-dimensional model.
"By combining the 3D model with other research data we were able to measure the force the horse's foot bones generated when they hit the ground and develop comprehensive simulations," she says.
"We believe this work could pave the way for new directions in research which will minimise foot injuries and improve animal health and welfare."
Their preliminary findings pointed to increases in some stresses on the forefoot phalanges in the shod condition at mid-stance, consistent with the tentative conclusion that a steel shoe might increase mechanical loading.
"However, because of our limited sample size none of these apparent differences have been tested for statistical significance," the study team wrote in their paper.
"Our preliminary study illustrates how the shoe may influence the dynamics and mechanics of a thoroughbred horse's forefoot during slow walking, but more research is needed to quantify the effect of the shoe on the equine forefoot during the whole stance phase, at faster speeds/gaits and with more individuals as well as with a similar focus on the hind feet."
They anticipated that their preliminary analysis and new approach would pave the way for new directions in research on the form/function relationship of the equine foot, with the ultimate goal to minimise foot injuries and improve animal health and welfare.
"Despite our study's restriction to measuring a few steps of one individual and assuming a static posture and massless foot segments, it is an important example of the integration of 3D biomechanical methods and their application to fundamental problems in equine locomotion, care and welfare."

The research techniques shown in this video allowed researchers to zoom into the skin and hoof and measure the motion of the horse's foot skeleton, which is not possible by other methods.

As I understand your question, it is somehow similar to this:How to check if a point is inside a rectangle. I see that my answer (while received no votes), may be correct and may be simply applied in your case.

One (far-from-optimal, but straightforward) way to do it: since you have the box's coordinates available, you also presumably have the four corners of the box available. Now, knowing $P$'s distances from the two points along one edge lets you narrow down the point's location to one of two points $i_1$ and $i_2$ (since the two circles $|P-p_1|=r_1$ and $|P-p_2|=r_2$ have at most two intersection points). Similarly, knowing $P$'s distance from the two points along the other edge narrows down its location to one of two points $i_3$ and $i_4$. (If you really want, I can flesh this out with the equations for those two points - but it's straightforward to find them yourself; it's just a bit of algebra or alternately a bit of geometry) Now, the kicker: the two sets of two points can't be the same, because $i_2$ is the reflection of $i_1$ about the edge $p_1p_2$ and $i_3$ is the reflection of $i_4$ about a different edge $p_3p_4$. This means that you can compare to determine which of the points $i_1,i_2$ is identical to which point $i_3,i_4$ and that's enough to get your point precisely. Once you have that, the standard point-in-rectangle tests should suffice.
Note that for algorithmic reasons, once you have $i_1$ and $i_2$ you may want to perform the point-in-rectangle test on both of them; they can't both be in the rectangle, but it's possible that they're both out of the rectangle, in which case you don't have to bother going on and finding $i_3$ and $i_4$.

The distance measurement from any point gives you a circle around that point as a locus of possible positions of $P$. Make any such measurement from a point $A$. If the question is not settled after this (i.e. if the circle crosses the boundary of the rectangle), make a measurement from any other point $B$. The two intersecting circles leave only two possibilities for the location of $P$. If you are lucky, both options are inside or both outside the rectnagle and we are done. Otherwise, a third measurement taken form any point $C$ not collinear with $A$ and $B$ will settle the question of exact position of $P$ (and after that we easily see if $P$ is inside or not.
One may wish to choose the first point $A$ in an "optimal" faschion such that the probability of a definite answer is maximized. While this requires knowledge about soem a prioi distribution where $P$ might be, the center of the rechtangle seems like a good idea. The result is nondecisive only if the measured distance is between half the smallest side of the rectangle and half the diagonal of the rectangle.

Measure distances from the four corners of the rectangle.
Consider the four triangles formed from P and the four sides of the rectangle.
Apply the Law of Cosines to measure the angles of the four triangles next to the sides of the rectangle.
If any is larger than 90 degrees then you are outside. Otherwise you are inside.
EDIT 1:
Suppose your rectangle is $EFGH$ where the sides are $d(EF)=d(HG)=x$ and $d(FG)=d(EH)=y$.
Let the distance of $P$ from $E,F,G,H$ be $e,f,g,h$ respectively.
Now by Law of Cosines applied to angle $EHP=\alpha$ we have $\cos (\alpha) = (y^2+h^2-e^2)/(2yh)$. If the angle is larger than $90^\circ$ then $y^2+h^2-e^2<0$. We need to apply a similar check 8 times. If any of the expressions is negative then we are outside. Else we are inside (or on boundary). So you have to check the sign of 8 expressions.
If either of the following
$y^2+h^2-e^2$, $y^2+e^2-h^2$, $x^2+e^2-f^2$, $x^2+f^2-e^2$, $y^2+f^2-g^2$, $y^2+g^2-f^2$, $x^2+g^2-h^2$, $x^2+h^2-g^2$
is negative $P$ is outside.
EDIT 2:
In case efficiency is a consideration: To test that $P$ is inside, or on the border, checking with respect to 3 sides will do. So it takes 6 inequalities. For example
$y^2+h^2-e^2\ge 0$, and $y^2+e^2-h^2\ge 0$, and
$x^2+e^2-f^2\ge 0$, and $x^2+f^2-e^2\ge 0$, and
$y^2+f^2-g^2\ge 0$, and $y^2+g^2-f^2\ge 0$.
EDIT 3:
A similar approach will work for checking with respect to a convex polygon.

You have the coordinates of the four corners of the box. I'll imagine that the box is situated so its sides are horizontal or vertical (This could be easily obtained by a rotation if box wasn't originally like this). So you can also get the coordinates of:
$p_M$, the center of the box (inside the box),
$p_L$, the point directly to the left of the center so that the left side of the box bisects the line joining $p_M$ to $p_L$,
$p_R$, the point directly to the right of the center so the right side of the box bisects the line joining $p_M$ to $p_R$,
two further points $p_A$ and $p_B$ respectively above and below the box, so that the top/bottom of the box bisects the line joing $p_M$ to $p_A$ or $p_B$.
Now for your mystery point P you find
$t_M=d(p_m,P)$, $t_L=d(p_L,P)$, and similarly for $t_R,t_A,t_B$.
Now use the fact that the mystery point $P$ is on the (half plane to the) left of the right side iff it is closer to the point $p_M$ than it is to $p_R$, i.e. iff $t_M>t_R$. Similarly $P$ is to the right of the left side iff $t_M>t_L$, and $P$ is below the top of the box iff $t_M>t_A$, and finally $P$ is above the bottom of the box iff $t_M>t_B$.
We now have that p lies in the box iff each of the quantities $t_M-t_*$ is positive, where * is one of the four symbols $L,R,A,B$. For the function, define
$f(distances)=min(t_M-t_L,t_M-t_R,t_M-t_A,t_M-t_B)$


'Worst-case scenario': Blue Mountains blazes threaten to combine into mega-fire
Updated October 22, 2013 15:14:20
There are fears unpredictable weather conditions could cause a mega-fire in the Blue Mountains if a number of existing large blazes join together.
The front of the State Mine fire near Lithgow already extends across hundreds of kilometres, and this morning authorities deliberately join the blaze with the Mount Victoria fire to the south.
Under what they said yesterday was the "worst possible scenario", it could possibly merge with the Linksview Road fire in Springwood, to the south-east, which destroyed almost 200 homes on Thursday.
Dr Owen Price, a senior research fellow at the Centre for Environmental Risk Management of Bushfires at the University of Wollongong, says there is a risk that a combined fire could produce so much energy it could create its own weather conditions.
"You can get these conditions, what you call a pyrocumulus, where a fire is producing so much energy it punches up through the troposphere a huge plume of smoke, essentially creating a thunderstorm with lots and lots of energy in it," he said.
"Then it starts to suck in air from all around, so there's more oxygen and it feeds back on itself so the fire behaviour goes really extreme.
"Unfortunately under those conditions when it's creating its own weather you can get things like tornados occurring.
"If two big fires coalesce together they're sort of pooling their energy together, so you can get feedback that makes them even more intense."
Dr Price says fires that serious can become impossible to fight.
But he also says the Blue Mountains fires could join up without necessarily getting much worse.
"It's not a given that if these two fires will meet that that's what they will do, they could just continue the way they're going. But there's a risk," he said.
Fire crews employ high-risk strategies
Firefighters are now employing what they call "high-risk" back-burning strategies to fight the fires, including back-burning, working with bulldozers and working with hand tools to create fire breaks.
"Imagine lighting up 10 to 15 kilometres of countryside along a very windy road in some of the most steepest, scenically beautiful rugged terrain, against a prevailing, hot, dry wind and expecting it to go away from you. It's a challenge," Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said this morning.
Dr Price says much depends on weather conditions over the next few days, which are difficult to predict.
But he says there are two main possibilities.
"One is that it's going to be dry for days and possibly weeks, similar conditions to what we've had over the last several weeks, in which case [the fires] are just going to keep expanding," he said.
"There's a fair chance that tomorrow evening we might get some fairly heavy rain - 20 or 30 millilitres - which might not be enough to extinguish them but certainly to put the brakes on them for a while. Rain is what will eventually put these fires out.
"When we get a really good fall of rain, something in the order of 60 to 100 millimetres, is hard to predict."
Perfect storm of fire conditions
Scientists at the Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre predicted in September that parts of southern Australia could have above normal bushfire activity this season.
Higher-than-average temperatures over the past year mean grasslands and forests have dried out, providing plenty of fuel to burn once fires start.
"We know that bushfires will occur every year," Bushfire CRC chief executive Gary Morgan said in an email.
"When the conditions are right, hot and windy days, with dry vegetation, fires will occur. We all must be vigilant about our local conditions."
In many parts of New South Wales, the high temperatures also mean hazard-reduction burns could not occur at the scale necessary before the fire season began.
Dr Price says recent dry weather and high winds made conditions in the Blue Mountains especially dangerous on Thursday.
"We haven't had any serious rain for two or three months and it's been unusually warm for this time of year," he said.
"Last Thursday, the wind speed was very, very high; 80 kph winds really drive fires and any spark would have set them off."
That combination of high temperatures and winds, he says, is what makes the coming Wednesday so risky.
"Not only do we have the possibility of new fires starting like they did Thursday, but we have all those fires that are already alight, with a 300-kilometre fire front already established," he said.
What turns a spark into a bushfire?
About half of all bushfire ignitions come from lightning, but those deliberately or accidentally lit by humans tend to be closer to populated areas and more likely to damage property and infrastructure.
Sometimes the high winds that contribute to dangerous fires spreading are also responsible for starting them.
The bushfire that started at Linksview Road in Springwood was reportedly sparked after winds knocked over a power line.
"If you get some sort of spark on the ground, if it's sufficiently dry and there's sufficient energy in that spark, it can cause the litter that's lying there, usually grass litter or dead litter, to ignite," Dr Price said.
"That can spread. Some of the factors are to do with the amount of moisture in the dead leaves. If there's low moisture it can spread with a certain intensity. If it's below a certain intensity it will just self-extinguish, but if it's above a certain intensity it will spread.
"With conditions like we had on Thursday, short-term drought plus very dry air, windy air, it didn't take much; the intensity that required it to spread was instantly available."
Bushfires travel at different speeds depending on the terrain and the kind of vegetation growing, but eucalypts are especially adapted to spread fires.
"In eucalypt forests throughout Australia you can get lofted pieces of bark and sometimes leaves that travel a long way," he said.
"Eucalypts evolved in Australia 15 million years ago, under a fire-prone environment. They are perfectly adapted to survive the fire and to spread the fire. We have a fire-prone continent and it's all part of the system."

Product News
Kaspersky Security for PDA 5.5 now in final stages of development
Kaspersky Lab, a leading vendor of secure content management solutions, is now conducting open beta-testing of Kaspersky Security for PDA 5.5. The new product incorporates a range of upgrades and improvements, significantly extending the product's functionality.
Kaspersky Security for PDA protects data on handheld computers and smartphones. Kaspersky Anti-Virus technology optimized for pocket devices offers comprehensive protection for handheld computers running PocketPC and Palm OS, and smartphones running Microsoft Smartphone 2002 and Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphone.
The latest version of the solution has a new, user-friendly interface. Virus detection and disinfection functions have been upgraded. The new antivirus monitor complements the existing functions by tracking application activity in real time, ensuring that malicious code cannot be executed. Updates to the antivirus databases can be downloaded automatically, meaning the device is protected against even the very newest viruses.
Kaspersky Security for PDAs can also be used to encrypt data stored on handheld devices. This prevents unsanctioned users from accessing confidential information. PocketPC users can create hidden folders: data stored in these folders is encrypted, and the folders themselves are password protected. PalmOS users can use passwords to lock their devices. Data is encrypted when the device is locked; therefore, even if a malicious user gains access to the memory card, they will be unable to access information stored on it. New cryptographic algorithms from the Intel library further heighten security when the program is run under Pocket PC.

Form of dance music from southwestern Louisiana, U.S., with roots in French, African American, and Afro-Caribbean styles. Similar to the music of the Cajuns (displaced French Canadians who settled in Louisiana), zydeco was created by the Creoles (those of African heritage in Louisianan French culture). Its name is thought to come from a modified pronunciation of the French phrase les haricots (the beans) heard in a popular song. The music usually features guitar, accordion, fiddle (violin), and washboard played to a driving beat, but it may also include electric guitar, electric bass, saxophone, and keyboards. It became widely popular in the 1980s through the performances of Clifton Chenier, Queen Ida, Buckwheat Zydeco, Boozoo Chavis, and others.

Prevent image to repeat itself, tiling or get stuck on scroll.
Are your images behaving strangely? Tiling, getting stuck or repeating on scroll?
Prevent image to repeat itself, tiling & get stuck on scroll.
Are you having problems with normal images repeating themselves, tiling, getting stuck and making strange lines all over your website when scrolling up and down? This might be because you have another background image set to repeat!? Follow these steps to prevent image to repeat itself, tiling or get stuck on scroll.
Steps to prevent image from repeat itself, tiling & getting stuck:
- Start by checking if this image problem is occurrin in every browser: Chrome / Safari, Explorer or Firefox. Good to know.
- Validate you code to make sure there are no obvious errors, for example unclosed elements or wrongly nested elements. Validate your website here: _URL_
- Correct all errors (if any) above.
- If you are floating elements or images, use class.clearfix to clear any floats after the element containing floats has ended. Clearfix CSS class might look something like this:
content: " ";
Simply add class.clearfix to any elements containing floats.
- Try to set the background to no-repeat on the element causing problems or the parent of the element causing problems.
- If none of the above works? Are you using several layers of background images on top of eachother? Some fixed, some repeated and so on. Try to remove the backgrounds one by one to see if this fixes the problem, or leads you in the right direction…
(Firefox browser have been having similar problems with images and icons tiling or repeating when this article is written)

This case study investigation reflects on the use of metaphors to teach postgraduate education students the importance of personal bias and subjectivity to their research, and advocates the use of critical reflexivity to deal with it. Students are reluctant to be critically reflective as they can feel threatened by the reflective process, feel they can sit apart or outside their research, write without bias and/or feel critical reflection may damage their research findings. It explores the effectiveness of an approach to overcome this reluctance by applying a metaphor. In a Zambian research class, students introduced a metaphor for personal bias by likening it to an encounter with a hidden hippopotamus. These are difficult to tame, hard to deal with, and can remain hidden for a long time. They appear unexpectedly, cannot be ignored, and awareness the main defence. Subsequent dissertations showed an improved early adoption of critical reflexivity. This metaphor was then used as a key discussion point on a postdoctoral education programme in the UK and investigated formally using focus groups. Students reported a greater understanding of personal bias, recognised the importance of being critically reflexive, and felt the metaphor was instrumental in their understanding of the need to advise of their position in the research. Underpinning this approach is the assertion that metaphors can help explain personal traits that are difficult for individuals to describe (Hoggan, 2016). The use of a personal values framework; morality, competency, personal and social behaviour, provided a supportive writing framework resulting in an increase in critical reflexivity early in the students research.

Lifetime for phone motor depend on the vibration motor you choose?
Life for phone motor
Usually,we use BLDC motor,coin motor ,smt motor and LRA motor for smart phone.

And follow is the lifetime for these motors:
Under the condition On 1sec/Off 1sec .

The life for as follows show:

BLDC Motor
Coin Motor
SMT Motor
LRA Motor
2000,000 cycles
100,000 cycles
200,000 cycles

1,000,000 cycles
We can find that BLDC motor can have more than 1000 hours for life time.
This is very nice for urability.
And BLDC motor is widely used in new model.
LRA motor is also very nice.

When the motor used in smart phone.
The service life of mobile phone vibration motors is influenced by various factors, including temperature, humidity, voltage, load, etc.
If these factors cannot be effectively controlled, the service life of the vibration motor will be affected and even damaged in advance.
Therefore, in order to extend the service life of the vibration motor on phones, we should take the following measures:
1. Control environmental temperature and humidity: Temperature and humidity are important factors that affect the service life of the vibration motor. Therefore, we should try to maintain the environmental temperature and humidity within the normal range to ensure the normal use of the vibration motor.

2. Control voltage: If the voltage is too high or too low, it will affect the service life of the vibration motor. Therefore, it is necessary to try to keep the voltage within the normal range to ensure the normal use of the vibration motor.
3. Load control: Excessive load can cause overheating of the vibration motor, thereby shortening its service life. Therefore, it is necessary to control the load as much as possible to ensure the normal use of the vibration motor.

4. Regular inspection: The working status of the vibration motor should be regularly checked, and problems should be identified and dealt with in a timely manner to ensure the normal use of the vibration motor. In short, in order to extend the service life of the vibration motor on Apple phones, effective measures must be taken to control environmental temperature and humidity, control voltage, control load, and conduct regular inspections to ensure the normal use of the vibration motor.

When we looked at how native code and ActionScript communicate in a native extension, we saw that native code is mostly called and talked to and has a limited number of ways to respond or send data back. These are:
- Returning a FREResult object from a call to FREFunction.
- Using output parameters in a FREFunction.
- Sending an event to ActionScript.
In this article we are focusing on number 3: how events are sent from Java to ActionScript.
Events from Java to ActionScript are asynchronous
We already saw why in the post about events from C to ActionScript, but I'll repeat it here, as it's important:
- there isn't a synchronous way for native code to call an ActionScript function via the AIR Java API the way that ActionScript makes direct calls to native code. When information needs to be sent to ActionScript outside a call that ActionScript initiated, your option is to send an event that ActionScript will receive asynchronously.
- you can send an event to ActionScript form any thread in your native code and it's delivered on AIR's single main thread. This is the only AIR Java API call you are allowed to make outside the main thread.
In Java dispatchStatusEventAsync() is a method of the FREContext class, which represents your Extension Context.
public void dispatchStatusEventAsync( String code, String level )
- code is a string, which you set. Use it to identify the event you are sending, for example "SPEECH_RECOGNITION_EVENT".
- level is another string that you set. Use this to send more detailed information about the event to ActionScript, for example "Speech recognition results" or "No results found".
How this is received by ActionScript
On the ActionScript side the target of the event is the instance of flash.externalExtensionContext, which was passed to FREDispatchStatusEventAsync. Wondering where it comes from? Read the next section.
The event's type is flash.events.StatusEvent. You'll notice that, among other things, StatusEvent has the following two properties:
- code : String
- level : String
See how this maps to the information sent from the Java side?
A call to dispatchStatusEventAsynch() from your Java code:
"This is the message CODE",
"This is the message LEVEL" );
will be received in your ActionScript code in the form of a StatusEvent in a StatusEvent.STATUS handler that you provide:
private var m_extensionContext : flash.external.ExtensionContext;
m_extensionContext.addEventListener( StatusEvent.STATUS, onStatusEvent );
private function onStatusEvent( _event : StatusEvent ) : void
trace( _event.code );
trace( _event.level );
This will print out:
This is the message CODE
This is the message LEVEL
Here's a definition of Extension Context, if you need a reminder.
Have a look at how events are sent from C to ActionScript.
Next we'll see what are the Extension Context Initializer and Finalizer.
Then we will see the order of calls for all these initializers and finalizers.
Over to you
Why do you code in Java? No, seriously.

How many words in a speech. How Many Words are in a Five 2022-11-09
How many words in a speech Rating:
The number of words in a speech can vary greatly depending on the purpose and length of the presentation. A short speech might be a few hundred words, while a longer keynote address could be several thousand words. Ultimately, the most important consideration is not the specific number of words, but whether the speech effectively communicates its message to the audience.
One way to determine the appropriate length for a speech is to consider the time allotted for the presentation. For example, if you have 20 minutes to speak, it may not be feasible to deliver a speech that is several thousand words long. On the other hand, if you have an hour or more to speak, you may be able to include more content and use more words.
Another factor to consider is the audience and the topic of the speech. If the topic is complex or technical, it may be necessary to use more words to fully explain the concepts and ideas being presented. On the other hand, if the topic is more straightforward or familiar to the audience, you may be able to use fewer words to get your point across.
Ultimately, the key to a successful speech is to find the right balance between the number of words and the time allotted for the presentation. By carefully considering the purpose of the speech, the audience, and the topic, you can determine the appropriate number of words to use to effectively communicate your message.

As a major mode choice of commuters, public transit plays an important role in relieving congestion on urban transportation networks. A model is developed for cost-efficient operation that optimizes all-stop, short-turn, and express transit services and the associated frequencies by considering heterogeneous demand. For a transit line with given stations and origin-destination demand, the objective total cost function is optimized by considering a set of constraints that ensure frequency conservation and sufficient capacity subject to operable fleet size. A numerical example is designed that is based on a real-world rail transit line to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the developed model. Results show that optimized integrated service patterns and associated service frequencies significantly reduce total cost.

Numerous physical and chemical changes occur in the products during the baking process. These changes may affect the migration mechanism of water and the drying behaviour of the product. In the present study temperature effects on the drying behaviour of raw thin biscuits of 7x5x0.25 cm dimensions were studied in a laboratory oven by applying constant or linearly decreasing oven temperatures between 100 and 195-degrees-C. With constant oven temperatures a falling rate drying model, and with linearly decreasing oven temperatures a constant rate drying model stimulated these processes. Final moisture contents are one of the major properties determining the shelf life of the biscuits. These models may be used as simple methods for calculating the baking times.

The recent UNESCO listing of traditional North African metal craftsmanship has cast a new spotlight on this ancient art form, bringing international recognition and revitalizing interest in a cultural heritage that spans centuries. This acknowledgment by UNESCO underlines the significance of metal art in North Africa's cultural and historical identity and promises to breathe new life into these traditional practices.
Metal art in North Africa, a skill passed down through generations, is a testament to the region's rich history and artisanal ingenuity. The art form, encompassing intricate metalwork in gold, silver, copper, and brass, is renowned for its elaborate designs and detailed craftsmanship. It forms an integral part of the cultural fabric in countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Egypt, where artisans create everything from jewelry and household items to ornamental architectural features.
The UNESCO listing is not just a nod to the artistic value of these works; it's a crucial step in preserving a craft at risk of fading into obscurity. In recent years, the traditional metalworking techniques have been threatened by mass production and a dwindling number of skilled artisans. This international recognition aims to revitalize the craft, encouraging the younger generation to learn and preserve these age-old techniques.
Furthermore, this recognition is anticipated to boost tourism and local economies. It draws global attention to the unique cultural offerings of North Africa, inviting tourists and art connoisseurs to explore the region's heritage. For local artisans, it provides a much-needed platform to showcase their work on an international stage, potentially opening up new markets.
In summary, UNESCO's listing of North African metal art is a significant milestone. It not only celebrates a rich cultural heritage but also offers hope for the preservation and continuation of this exquisite art form.

It is very important to stabilize the functional components in foods, in order to guarantee the safety / security of those foods.
CDs can stabilize some functional foods and ingredients (e.g. CoQ10、alipoic acid、royal jelly)
Interaction of CAPE with CD
Stability of CAPE-γ-CD
Solubilization of CAPE-γ-CD
Stabilization of CAPE by CDs
- The binding constants of the inclusion of CAPE with CDs were evaluated (K = 2000 M-1).
- The Stabilization effects of γ-CD for CAPE against 1) enzymatic hydrolysis 2) Michael Addition with amino acid 3) oxidation were observed.
- CAPE-γ-CD was more soluble than CAPE in the presence of bile acid.
→ increasing of the bioavailability.
→ These results showed that CAPE in NZ propolis can be stabilize without losing its functions by formation of inclusion complex with γ-CD.


Wmimofck task
The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) provides the Wmimofck task so you can run the wmimofck.exe tool when you build a driver using MSBuild.
For information about using the Wmimofck tool, see Using Wmimofck.exe.
MSBuild uses the Wmimofck item to send the parameters for the Wmimofck task. The item metadata for wmimofck is accessed using the Wmimofck item in project files.
The following example shows how to edit metadata in the .vcxproj file.
<ItemGroup>
 <Wmimofck Include="a.bmf">
 <GenerateStructureDefinitionsForDatablocks>true</GenerateStructureDefinitionsForDatablocks>
 </Wmimofck>
 <Wmimofck Include="b.bmf">
 <HeaderOuputFile>b.h</HeaderOuputFile>
 </Wmimofck>
</ItemGroup>
The following example shows how you run Wmimofck.exe in a Command Prompt window:
Wmimofck.exe -u a.bmf
Wmimofck.exe –h"b.h" b.bmf
The example above invokes wmimofck.exe on both a.bmf and b.bmf, but with different sets of parameters and with different metadata. Therefore, the switches will also be different for these inputs. In other words, you can call each input with its own set of metadata.

How Does Rotating Log Grapple Works Out & What Are Its Advantages?
Many of us would love to talk about tech and its working behind, right? So, we will be talking today about the rotating log grapple working which is an equipment of a heavy machinery such as crane. Now, there is much kind of cranes as we all know but we shall not be discussing about these cranes and will be more focusing onto the grapple which can be affixed in almost every kind of cranes. So, in bit older time we have only unidirectional grapple which can only move upside down or downside up with an interlocking mechanism and if we want to rotate it so it was not possible due to which we have to move the crane instead, quite difficult and painful but now it is very easy with rotating log grapple. Actually, what happens is that when we are working with logs so it is quite long and to hold it is not a problem but when it comes to rotate it for several reason so that was not possible easily.
In an addition, rotating log grapple makes a lot easiness in such kind of work and especially when it is about long materials and good like log. This is why this specific grapple called as rotating log grapple. Let us see its advantages in following bulleted points and its explanation.
