In vivo Simultaneous Monitoring by Pt - disk Microelectrodes of Intracerebral Hydrogen Peroxide and Dopamine in Rats
A technique was developed for simultaneous monitoring of temporal changes in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and dopamine (DA) levels by using Pt-disk microelectrodes (φ 30 μm). H2O2 and DA were determined by differential double-pulse amperometry (for H2O2; 1st step, 750 mV, 1000 ms; 2nd step, 1100 mV, 1000 ms: for DA; 1st step, 150 mV, 600 ms; 2nd step, 250 mV, 50 ms). The electrode for H2O2 or DA is capable of determining each target substance and these substances do not interfere with each other. For an in vivo application, the electrodes were implanted into the striatum of rats and used successfully to monitor intrastriatal changes in H2O2 and DA simultaneously after intraperitoneal injection of methamphetamine while the animals were moving freely.

Why are they called the Orangemen?
1890s: The Orioles of Syracuse With their official color of orange, the first Syracuse University football teams in the 1890s were called "The Orioles." Somehow, it flew the coop, along with Hillmen, Bill Orange's Men and, now, Orangemen.
Was Syracuse ever called the Orangemen?
Until 2013, Syracuse was a member of the Big East Conference. The school's mascot is Otto the Orange. Until 2004, the teams were known as the Orangemen and Orangewomen. The men's basketball, football, wrestling, men's lacrosse, and women's basketball teams play in the Carrier Dome.
What is the nickname of Syracuse?
What was the original Syracuse mascot?
Otto the OrangeSyracuse University / MascotOtto the Orange is the mascot for the Syracuse Orange, the athletic teams of Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, USA. Otto is an anthropomorphism of the citrus fruit, wearing a large blue hat and blue pants. Otto can often be seen at Syracuse sporting events in the Carrier Dome and other venues. Wikipedia
Why did Syracuse change from Orangemen to Orange?
Syracuse officials made the switch from Orangemen to Orange in 2004 after two years of consulting with Nike regarding the school's desire to re-brand its athletic teams. Syracuse went Orange in 1890, becoming the first university to adopt only one official color.
How did Syracuse become the Orangemen?
After a winning athletics meet with Hamilton College, Syracuse students wanted colors as bold as they were. They considered orange, with blue as a secondary color, but orange alone was not claimed by any other school, and thus, was Syracuse's for the taking.
Why did Syracuse change from Orangemen?
Orange – Syracuse used to be known as the Orangemen prior to a Nike-led change in 2004. Syracuse officials made the switch from Orangemen to Orange in 2004 after two years of consulting with Nike regarding the school's desire to re-brand its athletic teams.
Why is Otto the Orange?
For more than 40 years, Syracuse University students have been suiting up as official mascot Otto the Orange. Those selected for the mascot team have the honor of spreading spirit and joy throughout the community—from "airplaning" in the stadium, to delighting local schoolchildren, to scootering across campus.
Is Syracuse a Protestant school?

Should we go back to being the Orangemen?
While you will certainly see some folks still refer to us as the Orangemen from time to time like an old reflex, being the Orange is pretty much a part of who we are now. It's a bit like being in the ACC. You might like the idea of going back to the Big East, but, there is no Big East to go back to. Not really.
Why do Orangemen wear orange?
Orangemen. Its name is taken from the family name of King William III of England, who defeated King James II in the battle of the Boyne in 1690.

Orangemen or Orangewomen can refer to: Members of the modern Orange Order (also known as Orange Institution), a Protestant fraternal organisation Members or supporters of the Armagh GAA Gaelic football team
Why did Orangemen change their name to orange?
The "rebranding" of Orangemen, which turned it from a word with meaning into a word with little meaning, worked. By the time the name changed from Orangemen/women to Orange, it had just as little meaning as the new name. If asked to picture an Orangeman, you'd probably pictured Otto.

If you want the names that have 123 anywhere in them:
move *123*.* c:\newfolder
If you want the 123 to always be the 4th, 5th, and 6th characters:
move???123*.* c:\newfolder
If you want only.pdf files with 123 (either of the above matches):
move *123*.pdf c:\newfolder
Works either from a batch file or directly from the command prompt.
The? matches a single character, the * matches one or more. These are called wildcard operators or simply wildcards.
To see how the wildcard operators work, open a command ("DOS") window in the folder you want to use, and try (dir is for a directory listing, and can't hurt anything to experiment with):
dir *.*
dir *123*
dir *123*.pdf
dir???123*.pdf

how do i look through all the files in a folder? – jardane Aug 8 '12 at 1:27
The examples I gave you do exactly that - the wildcard gives you multiple (one or more) matches. See my last sentence, and see the dir command in the command-line reference. – Ken White Aug 8 '12 at 1:30

No need for a batch file - the move command with a wildcard will do that itself:

Can worms be used for a secondary filtration system. If the runoff from a septic tank led to a vermicomposting bin, would the secondary wastewater provide enough nutrient for the worms to feed? If so, what would be the ideal mix for it to be in?
Thanks and apologies for my lack of understanding. Just trying (and struggling) to get my head around everything

Hi Nico
Yes you can use a worm ecosystem to clean septic tank effluent. If it's in an uncontained filter bed, then the worm population will adjust itself, along with the microbial population, to be the optimum balance for the amount of nutrient available in your unique situation. That's the advantage of working with natural systems. They're self-maintaining and self-correcting. So provided the conditions remain within what's tolerable for the health of the ecosystem as a whole, it will regulate itself. (Just as the Earth has done for billions of years until humans thought they knew better...) So if you set up a greenfilter bed as per the Design & construction page and just add worms, the ecosystem will start to establish and then do what it does best.
Worms have been used in many bioremediation projects to clean up all manner of pollutants. Most of these projects have been based on an inorganic substrate (see the scientific studies linked on the Why worms? page) but work so much better with organic material which is the ecosystem's natural habitat.


Returns the minimum value of mbrName across XrangeList, with options to skip missing or zero
Parameter Description
SKIPNONE Includes in the operation all specified cells regardless of their content
SKIPMISSING Ignores all _TAG_ values
SKIPZERO Ignores all 0 values
SKIPBOTH Ignores all 0 and _TAG_ values
returns a single member or member combination
XrangeList Optional. A valid member name, a comma-delimited list of member names,
cross dimension members, or a member set function or range function (including
_USER_) that returns a list of members from the same dimension. If XrangeList is not specified, Essbase uses
the level 0 members from the dimension tagged as time.
 - _USER_ enables skipping of _TAG_ and 0
 values, in contrast with the _USER_ function,
 which always includes these values in the calculation.
 - _USER_ (SKIPNONE, mbrName, rangeList)
 is equivalent to _USER_ (mbrName, rangeList).
 - _TAG_ values are considered to be less than
 positive data values and more than negative data values. If the data being
 calculated includes only positive and _TAG_ values, _USER_
 returns _TAG_.
 - For all members, _USER_ returns the value calculated for
 the specified member and range list.
For both examples, assume a database similar to Sample Basic. The Measures
dimension includes two members: COGS (cost of goods sold) and OtherInc_Exp
(miscellaneous income and expenses). The data can include 0 and _TAG_ values.
For both members of the Measures dimension, the result is the same–the minimum
value for the OtherInc_Exp member across the specified range.
Example 1
Qtr1_Min = _USER_(SKIPBOTH, OtherInc_Exp, Jan:Mar);
This example ignores the 0 value for Mar and produces the following
 Jan Feb Mar Qtr1_Min
COGS _TAG_ _PHONE_ 350
OtherInc_Exp 500 350 0 350
Example 2
Qtr1_Min = _USER_(SKIPNONE, OtherInc_Exp, Jan:Mar);
This example does not ignore the 0 value in the calculation. This example
produces the following results:
 Jan Feb Mar Qtr1_Min
COGS _TAG_ _PHONE_ 0
OtherInc_Exp 500 350 0 0

Persistent Charge-Density-Wave Order in Single-Layer TaSe2.
Abstract
We present the electronic characterization of single-layer 1H-TaSe2 grown by molecular beam epitaxy using a combined angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. We demonstrate that 3 × 3 charge-density-wave (CDW) order persists despite distinct changes in the low energy electronic structure highlighted by the reduction in the number of bands crossing the Fermi energy and the corresponding modification of Fermi surface topology. Enhanced spin-orbit coupling and lattice distortion in the single-layer play a crucial role in the formation of CDW order. Our findings provide a deeper understanding of the nature of CDW order in the two-dimensional limit.

Bottle Basics: Stringing Bottles
Bottle columns do not have to be strung and hung up but there are several advantages to doing so. By stringing bottles, you can:
- access different segments of your system more easily;
- stabilize your system and hold joints together better;
- transport your system more easily; and
- increase the chances that kids and/or pets will not knock your system over.
- Use a soldering iron (a hole punch works too, but holes are more
prone to ripping out) to make holes on each side of the bottle above
and below each joint.
- String nylon craft cord (string works too but is prone to decaying if it stays wet a long time) up one side and down the other, alternating between from outside in and from inside out.

The 10 Commandments of And How Learn More
2 months ago aebi Comments Off on The 10 Commandments of And How Learn More
In the world of modern architecture and design, rolling doors have gained immense popularity for their practicality, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. Whether in commercial, industrial, or residential settings, these innovative doors offer a range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for various applications. This article delves into the advantages of rolling doors, shedding light on why they have become a preferred solution for many.
One of the most significant advantages of rolling doors is their space-saving design. Unlike traditional swing or hinged doors that require clearance space, rolling doors open and close vertically. This allows you to maximize floor space and utilize areas that might otherwise be rendered unusable. In crowded environments, such as warehouses or garages, this feature becomes invaluable as it enables efficient utilization of available space.
Rolling doors are renowned for their robust security features. Constructed from durable materials like steel or aluminum, these doors provide a formidable barrier against unauthorized access. Many rolling doors are equipped with advanced locking mechanisms, tamper-resistant features, and reinforced tracks, making them an excellent choice for securing valuable assets and properties.
Investing in rolling doors means investing in durability. These doors are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, heavy usage, and wear and tear. The materials used in their construction, such as galvanized steel or corrosion-resistant aluminum, ensure that they remain functional and visually appealing for years to come. This durability translates into reduced maintenance costs and fewer replacements, providing a cost-effective solution in the long run.

Rolling doors are no longer limited to industrial or utilitarian settings. Manufacturers offer a wide array of designs, finishes, and colors that can be customized to align with the aesthetic requirements of the space. This flexibility allows rolling doors to seamlessly integrate into various architectural styles, contributing to the overall visual appeal of the environment.
For spaces where noise reduction or temperature control is crucial, insulated rolling doors come to the rescue. These doors are equipped with insulation materials that help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce external noise. This feature is particularly valuable in environments like warehouses, manufacturing facilities, or entertainment venues, where maintaining a comfortable and quiet atmosphere is essential. Rolling doors are engineered for minimal maintenance requirements. With self-lubricating components, rust-resistant coatings, and sturdy construction, these doors typically require only routine checks and occasional cleaning. This translates to reduced downtime and fewer interruptions to daily operations.
Many rolling door manufacturers prioritize eco-friendly practices. Using sustainable materials and designs that promote energy efficiency, these doors contribute to a greener footprint. Energy-efficient insulation and the ability to control airflow also support environmental sustainability by reducing the need for excess heating or cooling. Ultimately, the advantages of rolling doors boil down to convenience. From ease of use to improved security, space optimization to aesthetic enhancement, these doors offer a comprehensive solution that simplifies daily operations and adds value to any space they grace.
In conclusion, the versatility, durability, and array of benefits offered by rolling doors have firmly established them as a preferred choice across industries. Whether you're looking to optimize space, enhance security, or elevate the aesthetics of a space, rolling doors provide a solution that caters to modern needs.

What is SpellDial?
 SpellDial is a technology that allows you to dial names instead of numbers. This is applicable only for those who have setup a spelldial account. Once you have checked the availability of your username you can register it to point to a specific number. So instead of dialing a number, you dial their username.
 For example, if Jonina's username is joninahottie and it points to (_PHONE_, simply spell out her username (joninahottie) and it will immediately connect you to her. So anyone who dials joninahottie will be dialing (_PHONE_.
 The great thing about SpellDial is if you have a change of number, all you have to do is change the number your username points to. This saves you from all the hassle of contacting your friends and telling them you have a new number.
Can I do this in my phone?
 If you own an iPhone or an Android, yes! Just download the SpellDial app, and you can start calling each other through your spelldial usernames, a.k.a. "spelldialing!"
I don't know anyone who has a spelldial. How can I use this?
 The best thing to do is to tell your friends about SpellDial so that they can create their own. Then you can easily call each other using SpellDial names.
I don't own an iPhone or an Android, can I use it on my phone?
 Currently, you cannot call others through their spelldial name if you're not using an iPhone or an Android. However, you can setup a spelldial account and people who use an iPhone or Android can contact you via your spelldial name. You can setup your account here.
The SpellDial app doesn't work when my phone is not connected to the internet. Why?
 SpellDial servers can only be accessed through the internet. Therefore, if the SpellDial app is not connected to the internet, then it cannot get the equivalent number of the spelldial you entered.
 We understand that only some parts of the world have constant internet access virtually everywhere. So we're also working to develop technology that will allow you to use SpellDial from an ordinary GSM mobile phone or even a PSTN landline. Although we don't know how long it would take, it could come sooner than you expect. So make sure that you get the SpellDial name that you want before someone else takes it.
When can I use SpellDial on my non-internet mobile phone or landline?
 Before you can use it on your non-internet mobile phone or landline, phone manufacturers and telephone networks need to add some equipment and configurations to their systems in order to provide SpellDial services. Realistically speaking, the more people who join SpellDial, the faster the companies will upgrade. Because the more people join SpellDial, the greater the demand will be on them to enable SpellDial on non-internet phones.
 So if you want to help to make this happen sooner, you can help by joining and telling more people about it. Be a part of this. Let's make this happen!
I'm a developer. Do you have an API?
 Yes, we do! You can read more about it here.

When Do Catkins Stop Falling?
Sharing is caring!
Pollen can wreak havoc with the health of people who have allergies as it tends to worsen the symptoms. If you have been sneezing, wheezing, itching, having congestion, and more symptoms of an allergy lately, it could be because the season of catkins falling from the trees is invading your backyard.
Catkins are elongated clusters of flowers, and they are mostly one sex flowers – the male gender. These male flowers shed pollen when the season arrives. This can lead to suffering for the people with allergies and have them wondering – when do catkins stop falling?
If you want to know all about it, just keep reading as we have gathered all the information you need to know about the season of catkins, when do catkins stop falling, and more detail.
When Do Catkins Stop Falling?
Many trees bear catkins on their branches. Some of them include birch, willow, hickory, sweet chestnut, oak, and sweet fern. A few trees only have male flowers on their branches that release pollen, while some others, like oak trees, have male and female flowers on different areas of the branch. These trees with both genders of flowers on the same plant are called monoecious.
This is a whole process of flower clusters growing, pollen spreading, and then catkins falling to the ground. The catkins stop falling to the ground only after the whole process has taken place. The time for completing this process can vary depending on several factors. Let's find out how the whole process occurs and what you can do about the falling catkins.
The Purpose of Catkins
Catkins are the male part of a tree. They are initially green in color and turn yellow-beige when the time for pollination arrives. They are shaped like worms, and the little bumps on the catkins carry small, modified leaves, called bracts. Some catkins, such as those on the pussy willow, also have tiny hairs. These hide the small leaves from plain sight.
Bracts inside the catkins act as attracting bait for insects when insect pollination is required for a plant. Most catkins grow facing downward as plants with catkins are pollinated by wind. By growing in the hanging position, the plant is in an optimal position for the wind to blow away the pollen stored inside the catkins. Pollen is released when the season for pollination arrives.
The female parts of this plant are usually small in size and grow near the base. The wind carries the pollen to the trees with female parts, and this way, the process of reproduction starts to give birth to new trees.
Soon after the pollen has been released from the catkins, they fall from the trees on the ground, cars, and whatever is lying underneath. This is the reason you sometimes may see your car covered in the yellow hue from the trees with catkins.
In some plants, such as the white birch, the catkins may grow erect upwards. While most catkins require wind to spread their pollen to faraway places where at least some could be used for pollination, a few plants also use insect pollination. In the case of insect pollination, fertilization may not take place too far away from the parent plant.
The Season of Growth and fall for Catkins
Different plants with catkins produce flowers and start falling at various times of the year. Most plants with catkins start growing sometime in October to November. They bloom and produce flowers throughout the winter season.
The fall of the catkins starts from late spring and goes on till late summer. You can expect to see the fallen catkins in your yard sometime in February to late May. You might see the distinctive yellow color spread around in your garden, on the car's windshield, and in other places around the tree.
This fall of the catkins means that the pollen has been spread, and the wind may have taken some of the pollen to the female parts of the plant for the process of reproduction. And since the catkins have done their work, they have started falling to give space to new male parts of the plant for the next reproduction season.
When Do Catkins Stop Falling 2
Fallen catkin – via Wikimedia
When Do Catkins Stop Falling?
This is a question that bugs every person suffering from an allergy as pollen in the air or even the fallen catkins can worsen your allergy. So, such people would want this season to end as soon as possible. Or it could be that you are just a clean freak and can't stand the sight of the mess these fallen shells make in your yard or outside your home.
The pollen drop takes place for about three to four weeks, during which the pollen is shed. The fall of the catkins after the pollen has been shed can last anywhere from a few days to a few months, depending on the plant and climate of the region. Catkins typically stop falling after four to five days in a few regions, and in other places, the fall can last for a month or more.
Once the catkins have fallen, they are useless to the plant. They can be manually cleared off or left to disintegrate as they will soon turn into dead matter.
What to Do With the Fallen Catkins?
Some people may get OCD seeing all the litter of fallen catkins spread around. So, what should you do about it?
There are a few methods to take care of the fallen catkins. You could rake them, sweep them off, or add them to the compost pile. Most of the time, raking, hauling, and bagging is not necessary as you can depend on the wind to take care of the fallen shells of the tree. You can also use the catkins as mulch for your vegetable garden.
They are edible and won't cause any harm if any of your pets eat them but make sure you know which tree was responsible for the catkins mess as some of the plants can be harmful to pets as they can cause problems with the stomach.
Conclusion
I hope this clears your query of when do catkins stop falling so you can start planning around it if you have allergies or don't want the mess. If you have any tips on how to take care of a tree with catkins growing in the area or how to deal with allergies from the pollen.

Process design artifacts have been increasingly used to guide the modeling of business processes. To support users in designing and understanding process models, different process artifacts have been combined in several ways leading to the emergence of the so-called "hybrid process artifacts". While many hybrid artifacts have been proposed in the literature, little is known about how they can actually support users in practice. To address this gap, this work investigates the way users engage with hybrid process artifacts during comprehension tasks. In particular, we focus on a hybrid representation of DCR Graphs (DCR-HR) combining a process model, textual annotations and an interactive simulation. Following a qualitative approach, we conduct a multi-granular analysis exploiting process mining, eye-tracking techniques, and verbal data analysis to scrutinize the reading patterns and the strategies adopted by users when being confronted with DCR-HR. The findings of the coarse-grained analysis provide important insights about the behavior of domain experts and IT specialists and show how user's background and task type change the use of hybrid process artifacts. As for the fine-grained analysis, user's behavior was classified into goal-directed and exploratory and different strategies of using the interactive simulation were identified. In addition, a progressive switch from an exploratory behavior to a goal-directed behavior was observed. These insights pave the way for an improved development of hybrid process artifacts and delineate several directions for future work.

The head butler with design modification: A useful mountable shelf for the operating table in robotic surgery
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
Abstract
The 'head butler' or 'iron maiden', as it is sometimes referred to, is a mountable shelf that is attached to the main operating room table using stirrup clamps or brackets. It provides an elevated flat surface, which protects the patient's face and chest from inadvertent trauma of robotic arms, instruments and camera while also serving as a platform for placement of instrumentation that minimizes handoffs to improve workflow. Its canted design also prevents slippage of instruments off the operating field during steep Trendelenburg positioning. This operating room equipment was designed to improve efficiency in an operating room set-up while ensuring safety during patient positioning when performing robotic procedures. A modification of the original Head Butler® (Tri-Medical Corporation, Portland, OR, USA) is presented here which improves upon the design by avoiding brachial plexus nerve injury to the patient due to pressure from the uprights pressing on the patient's shoulders during use.

Rohingya (Ruáingga) is a language spoken by the Rohingya people of Arakan (Rakhine), Burma (Myanmar). It is smiliar to the Chittagonian language spoken in the neighboring southeastern Chittagong Division of Bangladesh..
Various writing systems are used, including Arabic, Urdu, Hanifi-Script and Burmese, and the newer Rohingyalish, based on the Roman alphabet.
Written in Arabic script, the first Rohingya language texts are more than 300 years old. While Arakan was under British rule (1826–1948), the Rohingya people used mainly English and Urdu for written communication. Since independence in 1948, Burmese has been used in all official communications. Since the early 1960s, Rohingya scholars have started to realize the need for a writing system suited to their own language.
Molana Hanif and his colleagues developed a new set of right-to-left oriented characters based mainly on Arabic script, with a few borrowings from Roman and Burmese. This approach was an improvement and was appreciated by Rohingya Islamic scholars, used to studying in Arabic and Urdu. However, the new script was criticized because the characters were very similar to each other, requiring longer...

Spain is home to a beautiful pink lake among its hidden gems that not many people know about. I stumbled upon Torrevieja pink lake by chance when planning my Alicante itinerary, so I had to see it myself. Now, I am sharing the ultimate travel guide to Torrevieja Pink Lake to help you visit it.
WHY VISIT TORREVIEJA PINK LAKE?
Laguna Salada de Torrevieja or Laguna Rosa de Torrevieja is a salt lake located on the northwestern edge of the Costa Blanca region, near the small seaside town Torrevieja.
Apart from the pink lake, Torrevieja is home to a green lake nestled nearby the pink one. Together, these two lakes form Las Salinas de Torrevieja, or the Salty Lakes of Torrevieja, and are part of the Natural Park de las Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja. However, don't get too excited; unfortunately, the green one doesn't stand out as much as the pink one. It has a tint of green color, but not that eye-catching.
So why is water pink? The water got the bubblegum hue pink color from a natural process of bacteria and algae. The so-called salt bacterium, or Halobacterium, and micro-algae (Dunaliella Salina) flourish in salty water and similar places, giving the lake its strawberry milkshake color. Despite its unusual color, the water is lovely. It's very salty and can sometimes smell.
The town of Torrevieja depends on its salt lakes. Locals obtained the mineral from Las Salinas de Torrevieja for centuries. At the beginning of the 19th century, the town officially became a center for the country's salt industry.
Apart from increasing the city's economy, the Laguna Salada de Torrevieja also functions as a natural spa. The mud and salt residue at the bottom have healing characteristics and can help respiratory diseases and common skin problems.
CAN YOU SWIM IN TORREVIEJA SALK LAKES?
Swimming in Torrevieja salt lakes is prohibited, although people do swim despite signs. I have read various blogs and even watched videos where people go for a dip. This is because salt exploration and production are still running in Torrevieja pink lake. Moreover, as it's part of a Natural Park, it's essential to preserve the ecosystem of these lagoons and their unique flora and fauna.
That being said, public access to the salty lakes and the natural park is allowed, but remember to minimize your presence and interaction.
If caught by the environmental agents or civil guard, you might get fined a large sum, something around 6000 Euros. When I visited the Torrevieja pink lake, we dipped our toes and walked no more than a meter from the shore to take some photos and left the premises. Even though it was very appealing to take a relaxing swim in the Torrevieja salt lakes, my friends and I didn't want to risk being caught and care about the environment.
TORREVIEJA PINK LAKE: ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Suppose you want to learn more about the Las Salinas de Torrevieja. In that case, you can pay a visit to the Visitor Center, Centro de interpretación Parque Natural la Mata Torrevieja, to learn more about salt production.
The center is open from Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 2 pm; on weekends and public holidays from 9 am to 1 pm. It is closed on the following dates: January 1 and 6, December 24, 25, and 31.
Alternatively, you can visit the Sea and Salt Museum or Museo del Mar y de la Sal, located in Torrevieja. Opened in 1995, the museum gives a glimpse of the areas' salt production and the complex relationship of town with sea and salt. It showcases Torrevieja's traditions and customs from an early stage when it still was a small fisherman's village.
The museum displays old photographs, gorgeous buildings and ships made from salt, and an old salt port model. The Sea and Salt Museum is an exciting place to explore if you like unique venues. As the museum is relatively small, you won't need more than 30-40 minutes to see it all. Plus, it's FREE to enter.
Apparently, flamingos also frequent the Torrevieja pink lake to feast on algae-filled shrimp that live in the lake. Even though I would have loved to see the flamingos matching the lake's color, the best time to do so is their breeding season, i.e., March, April, and May. Around 2000 flamingos fly here to feed and rest.
If you decide to tip-toe in the pink salt lake, bring an extra bottle of water to wash off the salt from your feet. Once the water dries on your skin, you'll have a sandy-looking residue from the salty left.
HOW TO GET TO SALT LAKES TORREVIEJA
Visiting salt lakes Torrevieja is possible by renting a car and using public transportation. The best and the most convenient way would be to rent a car and see it as a day trip from Alicante.
If you decide to take public transport, you'll need to walk a fair amount of kilometers to get to the lakes' entrance. Frequent busses run from Alicante to Torrevieja or from other nearby towns.
Alicante Torrevieja bus departs from Alicante bus station and arrives in Torrevieja station every day starting from 6:45 am to 10:15 pm. The journey takes around one hour, and the ticket costs 4,65 Euros one way.
Buses from Torrevieja to Alicante also run daily from 6:45 am to 9 pm.
When visiting Torrevieja pink lake, consider that the territory is fenced, but there are a couple of openings to enter and get closer to the lagoon. These openings can be near or far from each other.
The entrance Google Maps showed had bushes preventing us from getting closer. So we drove to Calle Munera and Via Verde de Torrevieja. We walked on a dirt road for a few meters to get to the water to dip our toes inside.
The shore here was not as sandy-like as I have seen in the pictures, but it was pretty enough to take a couple of pictures.
Find other possible entrances from Calle Venus by walking down about 50 meters to the water or from Calle Sol. I believe these are the most common areas to get to salt lakes in Torrevieja, so we drove a bit further to be on the safe side.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM TORREVIEJA PINK LAKE
The lake is indeed pink, but you only notice its strawberry milkshake color once you get very close to the lagoon. It's not very vibrant pink, as shown in the pictures. Full disclosure, I have increased pink hues for a bit in my photos. Or maybe it didn't look vibrant when we visited it even though it was a sunny day with a clear blue sky.
I have also read that the pink watercolor turns somewhat brownish during the wind and cloudy days. I can only imagine how stunning the pink lake would be during the sunset, reflecting the pastel-color sky in the lagoon.

Swiss Company Turns Your Loved One's Ashes Into A Beautiful Diamond
November 8, 2014
When your time on Earth is over, how will you be honored? A new trend has people skipping out on the traditional burial funeral for something a little more glamorous - turning into a diamond.
turning ashes of loved ones into diamonds
A finished diamond. The color comes from the amount of boron in the ashes / algordanza
Swiss company, Algordanza, provides a service where the cremated remains of a loved one convert into a diamond. The diamond can then be used in jewelry or kept in a collection.
"A Memorial Diamond symbolizes love, loyalty and respect for loved ones who have passed away," Algordanza says on their website. "The process of creating a diamond funeral has generated a completely new way of saying goodbye to our beloved deceased - one that is modern, full of promise and filled with peace."
So how do they do it?
First, the carbon is extracted from the cremated remains. The human body is about 18% carbon, and about 2% of that remains after the cremation process. This is the carbon Algodanza uses to make their diamonds, and filters out of the other materials via a chemical process. The carbon is heated and turned into graphite, the material found in pencils.
The graphite is heated to 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit and subjected to as many as 870,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. The result of this process, which mimics a process deep in the Earth, is a diamond that ranges from white to dark blue in color. The color variation depends on the amount of Boron in the ashes.

The diamond is then cut and polished.

Turning a loved one's ashes into a diamond is not a cheap process, but it's comparable with the cost of an average funeral. This process will set you back about $4,500.

"Today, scanners that read documents use a red laser light," Wong says. "When the red laser light scans the document, it turns the entire document red. Thus, a signature written in red ink seems to disappear. In many cases, you'll find that black ink is more likely to be used when submitting applications, official documents, and other business documents. Government documents, such as a passport application, also require the use of black ink. In some countries, they are so strict about these guidelines that they will completely reject any government correspondence classified in the wrong color. That's right. Final documents must always be signed in blue ink. Thank you for explaining the blue ink for signatures on the final documents. They should have talked about wills and powers of attorney. The color of the ink you use isn't the only potential legal pitfall signatures can bring. Let's say your spouse is out of town and you want to deposit an expense check or discount for your partner.
You could be in legal trouble. Some legal documents and financial records may require blue ink. This includes documents such as credit card applications. This is because the use of black (or any other color) can trigger indicators for fraudulent cheques or credit card applications, as they cannot tell if they are original documents versus a photocopy. However, avoid colors other than black or blue, as lighter ink colors may be washed out when copying. Some government agencies require black ink, while others require blue ink. Some reasons are: black ink, which is compatible with older scanning technology. or. Blue ink is more different from black text.
Be sure to follow the instructions on government, commercial, or financial forms for the required ink color. Without specific instructions, the choice is yours. Beware of specific pen requirements in the instructions at the top of each form you can fill out. Using the wrong color can lead to a number of issues if your form is rejected or fraudulent activity is triggered. You never want to use a pencil for important documents, as it can be erased and tampered with. Even if you're legally married and have a joint bank account, it's illegal to confirm your spouse's name on the back of a check, says Charles R. Gallagher III, an attorney at Gallagher & Associates in St. Petersburg. Petersburg, Florida.
Technically, signing someone else's name is cheating. And that could result in the cheque being denied for payment and even your arrest if your spouse were to lay charges. It is best to use blue or black ink for signatures. Avoid colors such as red, purple, and green. Blue ink signatures are easier to distinguish on papers filled with a lot of black printing. The securities company and lender will want to quickly verify the exact signatures of more than 100 pages of documents before the transaction is completed. The blue ink stands out in a sea of black ink. Plus, it's dark enough to read and appear on a copy. "Blue ink is preferred because when black ink is used, someone at the bank or credit card company may not be able to tell if they are looking at a photocopy of a signature or a signature originally inked," says Wong. CDE, a court-certified and court-qualified forensic expert. "It is easier to assume that the document is 'original' if it is signed in blue ink." And with the sophistication of today's technology, it's entirely reasonable that a copy could be mistaken for an original. It is not difficult to imagine the various documents that could be changed for shameful purposes.
These documents can include wills, contracts, deeds, promissory notes and many others. You shouldn't just use the first pen you find when it comes to signing professional or legal documents. It's important that you consider professional colors when filling out business forms. You don't want to use red, purple or green. To be sure, it is best to use blue or black ink. But determining which color is acceptable doesn't have to be difficult. "We encourage signatories to our documents to use blue ink because it contrasts with our applications, which is especially beneficial if identification issues arise in the future," says Angleton. The investment company and the lender will want to quickly review the more than 100 pages of documents to obtain accurate signatures before closing the transaction. The blue ink stands out in a sea of black ink. Plus, it's dark enough to read and appear on a copy.
Blue ink is also valuable when it comes to learning and other creative goals. Blue ink (and colors other than black) help improve memory response and have positive effects on the brain. They also help keep the creative juice flowing. However, the pen is more powerful than the sword. (Ask anyone who regrets signing their timeshare agreement.) So what color of ink is officially legal? All colors work. As soon as someone puts his name on paper, he wants the words above his signature to become an indisputable law. For this reason, legal documents have strict rules designed to avoid loopholes, subsequent negotiations, and future litigation. In most cases, for example, legal documents must be signed with a pen. The use of other writing tools is rare: you don't want to sign a legally binding document in pencil – although a signature with a pencil is still legally binding, despite what you might have suspected. You could sign with a pencil, and the document would still be legitimate.
However, most people know that it is not recommended because common sense dictates the use of permanent ink. Pencil marks can be removed and the validity of the document questioned. Blue ink is also valuable when it comes to learning and other creative goals. Blue ink (and colors other than black) help improve memory response and have positive effects on the brain. They also help to make creative juice flow.


New Voices For The 4J School Board
Kudos to Eugene Weekly for having two stories in the March 18 edition on the 4J school board races. As we recover from the pandemic it will be critical that the board includes new voices and perspectives.
Two highly qualified women of color are running for the two open seats on the board. Maya Rabasa is a parent, long time volunteer in the schools and a member of the district's budget committee. Laural O'Rourke went through the system as a student and is now a parent of children who are in the 4J schools. Through their own experiences they can bring a perspective to the board that is invaluable at a time when our schools are going through great demographic changes.
In the third race, Tom Di Liberto, a retired 4J classroom teacher, is running against an incumbent. It would be incredible to have a teacher with 31 years of experience on the school board that has not had a teacher on it in decades. Yes, decades! Tom would bring a classroom perspective to the board which is sorely absent now. He is also bilingual and would greatly increase the communication with the Latinx community.
His classroom experience can highlight the effects of out of control standardized testing that is taking valuable time from teaching and has narrowed the curriculum to tested subjects at the expense of art, music, social studies etc.
Three new diverse voices on the board would be a huge plus for our students and our community.

Developing an Emic Scale to Measure Ad-Evoked Nostalgia in a Collectivist Emerging Market, India
Although there has been recent interest in the measurement of advertising-evoked nostalgia, the dimensionality and generalizability of the related scales are restricted to the national/cultural boundaries of Western nations. In the present study, we develop an emic scale to measure ad-evoked personal nostalgia in an important emerging economy, India, refining and purifying the scale with seven separate studies (with a combined sample size of 1823). The resulting scale contains five dimensions: past imagery, physiological reactions, positive emotions, negative emotions and collective nostalgia. In the present study, we follow rigorous scale development procedures, and we also go beyond by comparing the effectiveness of our emic scale with a previous scale developed in France (etic), and subsequently we test our measure in another (culturally-congruent) market – Bangladesh. Our study emphasizes the need for culture-specific measures (emic), and we present important theoretical and managerial insights. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Parent Child Relationships With DIVs
From: Maurice Reeves
Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 13:40:00 -0400
Message-ID:
To: "DOM-Mail (E-mail)"
Cc: Andy Mansur , Dennis Shirk
I am seeking guidance on what seems like it's a browser bug, but is
displayed across many browsers:
I have created a dropdown menu using a DIV that contains a UL, which has
several LI contained within. The DIV display is set to 'none' until someone
MouseOvers an image. On the MouseOver I set the DIV's display to 'block'.
However, if set the DIV's display back to 'none' on the DIV's MouseOut
event, the minute it encounters the UL, it fires the MouseOut and the DIV
If I set the MouseOver of the UL to set the DIV's display to 'block', and
then MouseOver the LI, the DIV stays shown until I leave the UL.
Now it seems that even though the DIV is parent to the UL element, no
connection is maintained across events between them.
But with parent-child relationship between a UL and an LI, it maintains the
parent-child relationship across events.
My question is this:
Are both of these behaviors correct? Should the Parent-Child relationship
be maintained across all of the DIV's children between events, so that if
you are mousing over the UL (or any other HTML element. This behavior is
exhibited with A tags or TABLE, etc. UL just happened to be what I used)
which is a child of the DIV, it counts also as a MouseOver of the DIV? Or
should the currently maintained relationship between the UL and it's
children LI be severed?
Thanks in advance,
Maurice Reeves

French Empire GIlt Bronze Cloc Called " The Library Clock "
A fine and rare French Empire clock in gilded bronze called The Library, featuring a boy and a girl dressed in classical attire diligently studying in a library, both are sitting on a stool in front of a clock which is integrated into a column which also serves as a bookshelf. The oval clock base is decorated with garlands. The white enamel dial has Roman numerals; the silk string movement rings the hours and halves on a bell. A similar example is in the Palazzo Reale De el Pardo in Madrid, (Ref. French Bronze Clocks by Elke Niehuser, page 184).
Dimensions: 15″H (38cm) x 12″W (31cm) x 6″D (15cm)

About MacKenzie-Childs Pottery
Each piece created at the MacKenzie-Childs studio is a unique work of functional art, hand formed using traditional techniques, hand trimmed, fired, glazed, decorated and fired again, and sometimes, again. Although handmade pots require meticulous care during the production process, MacKenzie-Childs choose to utilize these methods to ensure that each piece has its own individuality and charm, as diverse as the wild flowers that grace landscape or frost patterns on a window pane – never to be repeated.
Organic materials that are integral to the sedimentary clay body used in the creation of our ceramics guarantee that surprises abound! These materials, when fired in the kilns, can take on a life of their own creating pin holes and white spots that add to the unique character of each piece.
The clay body, glaze, stains, decals and lustres are formulated to ensure that all of pottery collections are completely food safe. While Majolica lines can be used in the dishwasher, microwave and oven, please note that items including decals or metallic lustres require hand washing and should not be used in the microwave or oven to preserve the more delicate finishes used in production of these items.
Each piece of MacKenzie-Childs pottery carries the studio mark and date of manufacture, and each artisan who contributes to a piece stamps his or her initials, adding to its collectability.

Business cards hold official information about an organization or a person. These cards contain the contact details and business details. The business cards are exchanged for formal introduction and marketing. It is necessary to design the business cards formally for a better first impression. These cards serve as an identity of a business or an individual, so people give them special considerations.
The business cards of a business or individuals are kept inside the card boxes. These card boxes are placed on the desks or organization of employees. It is essential to keep cards in a box to maintain their sequence and for the convenient accessibility of others. As cards are official representations, their boxes should maintain their integrity and appearance. Most people or organizations make custom business card boxes according to their cards.
Styles for Business Card Boxes:
Although cards for a person should be given consideration, the cards for organization should be given more attention. These cards signify the whole organization, and they will be responsible for forming an impression. Also, business card boxes are the official representation of the businesses, so these are made in different styles and designs. Most individuals try to make impressive boxes to hold their cards. An exception box on the desk will draw the attention of the people, especially cards that represent the business. Here are some unique designs to make business card boxes:
Card Holder Boxes:
The holder boxes are the most common packaging styles for the cards. These are simple containers that can keep the cards. Also, the size of the holder box depends upon the size of the card. These boxes are usually small, and the cards are kept in standing forms. The holder boxes are convenient and standard style for keeping the business card. All the business receptions contain these boxes with a range of cards.
Two-Piece Card Boxes:
Now, many people prefer two-piece boxes for their personal business cards. These boxes keep the cards in lying form. Also, these boxes are preferred as they protect the cards from external conditions. The two-piece box contains a lower container and an upper cover. So the cards are usually kept in a covered form which prevents them from wearing out. Also, these boxes look exceptional with elegant styling.
Sliding Card Boxes:
The sliding boxes slide out from the sleeve. These boxes have an outer sleeve that covers the card in the container. So, the styling is mostly carried out on the sleeve. The sliding boxes for the card are thin and elongated. Their opening and closing give a similar experience as a drawer. Moreover, these look exceptional with the cards when you slide open.
Card Folding Boxes:
The folding boxes give the option of numerous styles and designs for any product. You can make boxes in a square or rectangular shape. Also, there are many options for sealing, like tuck end or roll end. Thus, the folding style for card boxes is used to style the packaging in different styles.
A die-cut window on the box is a great technique to make impressive packaging. For instance, the window cut on the top will showcase the cards without opening the packaging. So these will keep the card protected while marketing the business at the same time. You can place window boxes on the reception of the commercial places. Every coming individual will sight them and only open them if they need the card. Thus, it will limit the exposure while keeping the marketing aspect of the card. Window boxes are hence a great approach to making customized business card boxes.
Flap Card Boxes:
You can design the card boxes in the flap style. The flap boxes always look valuable and add worth to the product. Also, modify the flap in the style of a magnet. These magnets help to seal the packaging. Therefore, every time a person takes out a card, the flap will seal automatically. These boxes improve the unboxing experience greatly. Thus, flap boxes with magnetic closure are a great approach.
Standing Card Boxes:
The business card can be kept in the vertically upright form in standing boxes. These boxes are rectangular in vertical form. To be precise, the standing boxes are similar to cigarette boxes without a lid. These boxes are only suitable for the business card. Although they might appear simple, but with design, these will look exceptional. Therefore, standing boxes are also another style to design business card boxes.
In conclusion, there are several attractive methods to manufacture business card containers. These boxes should be appropriate for official purposes. The best possible designs are holder boxes, window boxes, two-piece boxes, sliding boxes, etc. The card boxes are always customized according to the business card. Therefore, no matter the organization, the business card packaging is always personalized.

Hello,
i'm wondering whether it is possible to "build" a long number from two int's. My aim is to make it platform independent, thus i can't use any shift operators. With them, i would do something like that:
long number = (long)myInt | (((long)myInt2) << 32);
Does anybody have an idea

Combining two ints into a long is very much a platform dependent operation. You could potentially encapsulate this operation by first discovering the endianess of the platform (using BitConverter.IsLittleEndian) and then using appropriate shifting sequence.

Actaully, the simplest solutions might actaully be the one. :) Instead of you worrying about endianess, let the JIT worry for you.
Keep the casting to avoid leading 1's from messing your end result:

 uint a1 = _PHONE_;
 uint a2 = _PHONE_;
 long x = (long)((ulong)a1 * (ulong)4294967296 + (ulong)a2);

The "endian-ness" of the platform should be hidden by .Net, so as far as I know the simple solution using shifts should work...

At first I thought that you were wrong, but then I saw the err of my thinking. Their memory footprints are different, but the actual operation is math based, and is done in registers, and the storage mechanism doesnt affect the process at all as we are not operating over memory locations as we used to ages ago. So yes, I stand corrected, the below formula will work on both systems (cast is still needed to prevent negative i1 from messing up the result)
long l2 = (long)((ulong)i1 << 32 | i2);
That being said, what little-endian systems support .NET I havent heard of any yet...

Hetty Howland Robinson Green (_PHONE_), America's first great female financier, is a largely forgotten figure in the annals of enterprise. Born into a wealthy Quaker family, Green inherited one million dollars from the deaths of her father and aunt, yet carried a grudge for both her entire lifetime. Setting out to prove her financial acumen, Green, through sound investing and pathological thrift, parlayed her inheritance into $100 million (over $2 billion in today's dollars), becoming the richest woman in America. While accumulating her vast fortune during the Gilded Age and into the twentieth century, Green exhibited numerous eccentricities, sensationalized by the media of the day and further embellished by posthumous biographies of her. This Dig Into The Archives will peel away the myth to reveal an underappreciated, yet deeply troubled woman, whose financial genius and misunderstood character earned her the title of the Witch of Wall Street.

filter-pause — smtpd filter to pause on new connections
filter-pause [-s seconds]
filter-pause is a filter for smtpd(8) which can be used to pause on new connections before emitting the standard initial SMTP greeting. This is useful to avoid the so called "slamming" technique used by some senders of spam mails. The options are as follows: -s seconds Set the number of seconds to pause before sending the initial greeting. The accepted values are withing the range of 1s and 300s. The default seconds value is 5s. With filter-pause enabled, smtpd simply waits the specified amount of seconds on each new connection. If the remote server starts sending SMTP commands before the greeting, the connection is rejected. Otherwise, the connection is accepted and normally processed.

MLP-based Log Spectral Energy Mapping for Robust Overlapping Speech Recognition
This paper investigates a multilayer perceptron (MLP) based acoustic feature mapping to extract robust features for automatic speech recognition (ASR) of overlapping speech. The MLP is trained to learn the mapping from log mel filter bank energies (MFBEs) extracted from the distant microphone recordings, including multiple overlapping speakers, to log MFBEs extracted from the clean speech signal. The outputs of the MLP are then used to generate mel filterbank cepstral coefficient (MFCC) acoustic features, that are subsequently used in acoustic model adaptation and system evaluation. The proposed approach is evaluated through extensive studies on the MONC corpus, which includes both non-overlapping single speaker and overlapping multi-speaker conditions. We demonstrate that by learning the mapping between log MFBEs extracted from noisy and clean signals the performance of ASR system can be significantly improved in overlapping multi-speaker condition compared a conventional delay-sum beamforming approach, while keeping the performance of the system on single non-overlapping speaker condition intact.

Why It's A Better Idea To Leave Bacon Aside

What's the harm in eating a bit of pork or bacon? Well it triggers the immune system to some serious action. Read on to find out more.
This is a very heated subject. I am sure I will not be making any friends by writing this article about bacon. But, I wanted to shed some light on why this food might be best left in the supermarket.
Pork Stimulates The Immune System
Pigs, like most animals make high amounts of certain molecules (antibodies and carbohydrates). These molecule are for the pig's own immune health. One of these carbohydrates (galactose alpha- (1-3) galactose let's just call it 'Alpha Gal') is not found in the human body.So, when we consume bacon this foreign substance stimulates your immune system and proceeds down the pathway of disease.
This is much the same process that happens when you catch a cold or a virus. Your body recognizes the virus as bad and seeks a way to remove it. Your body then starts to activate its own immune system, and after a certain point you would start to get a runny nose, cough, sinus congestion, etc.
While I am not stating that you will get cold like symptoms from eating bacon, it would simply act as one more stone that you throw into a bucket of water before it overflows. Most of the time people do not realize how sick they are until it's too late. This is when and how chronic diseases occur.
Alpha Gal And Uncle PHiL
Some people will not even recognize they are sick until it's too late. A good example of this process can happen when bacon or pork is consumed. You can actually get a delayed anaphylactic attack 3-6 hours post ingestion because certain antibodies can cause your throat to close up when you come in contact with 'alpha gal'.
We have developed this response to protect ourselves. An interesting note is that 'alpha gal' very closely resembles your ABO blood type so your immune system will mount an intense reaction to remove it.
The other main player when you eat bacon or pork is a certain lectin called 'Porcine Heart Lectin', let's just call this Uncle PHiL.
Uncle PHiL is not a nice house guest. When he visits, he always makes a mess. This is via a specific process called agglutination, which simply means Uncle PHiL likes to attach to red blood cells much like velcro on tennis balls. When agglutination occurs, your body seeks to kick Uncle PHiL out of the house.
In short, when bacon or pork is consumed 'Alpha-Gal' and Uncle PHiL are welcomed as guests into our house. They then proceed to make themselves at home. They become too comfortable and overstay their welcome. You the host, then have to ask them to leave.
While I don't eat bacon or pork, I know a fair amount of people who do. I would say this is fine if done sparingly. After all, one of the tools I use in the treatment of my patients is dietary change. Since I understand that food is very important to people for certain reasons (energy, emotional, spiritually), I usually don't act like a religious group and ask you to give up something 100% of the time.
I work with you to get to know the individual and understand what makes you tick. I work with diet and lifestyle modification along with natural supplements and epigenetic modification to help fix the underlying reason of a complaint in a holistic format.
If you are interested in reading a testimonial of a patient of mine who decided to eat pork after avoiding it for a few months please read below:
"I feel the diet (new lifestyle habits) has made a HUGE impact. I weigh 121 pounds (10 pounds lost healthily – naturally eating 3 – 4 times a day, what I've been advised to eat) and my energy has gone through the roof (minus this weekend, which I will explain in depth below), and I have been waking up (until this weekend), with minimal to no discomfort – stiffness and arthritis has almost completely disappeared. It is seriously remarkable. I have been feeling like a different person (up until this weekend).
This Weekend: I had an event (Fri, Sat, and Sunday) where Chefs compete with organic – farm raised – no hormone pigs (which I am not supposed to eat). These famous chefs prepare 5 dishes with pig. There's also fine cheeses, paired with alcohol, etc and desserts.
It is quite the extravaganza. This weekend – I completely came off my diet for the purpose of fully enjoying what the chefs had to offer (plus it is insulting not to eat what the chefs have prepared, etc). However, I certainly paid a price. Monday I couldn't get out of bed and had a fever – stiffness and arthritis was through the roof.
And I feel that is attributed to the food. Which didn't only include pig, but wheat, and dairy, etc – things that I have entirely cut out since my initial appointment. I felt this was important to share because it clearly makes a difference what I eat.
Thank you for what you do. In this short time I can't even begin to explain how after 10 years of severe lethargy, pain, and arthritis daily I've had glimpses of my old self. I am so grateful for you and your work… it really does help change lives.
Eternally Grateful,
S.L."

From Raft Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Click here to see information about this file Engine
Allows you to go in different directions and increases your speed.
Metal Ingot.png
Circuit Board.png
Engine is a Navigation item in Raft.
Summary[edit | edit source]
The Engine is acquired through the Blueprint: Engine found on the Vasagatan. After researching the blueprint, players may build and place an engine in order to sail against the wind. Used in combination with the Steering Wheel, the player gets full control of which direction they wish to sail. One Engine can push a raft of up to 100 Foundations. For each set of 100 Foundations over the initial 100, another Engine must be built and run simultaneously in order for them to have enough power to sail the raft. Note that Collection Nets do not count towards number of Foundations.
Adding six Engines to a raft will increase the sailing speed to the maximum possible, while ignoring aforementioned Foundation limitations.
Fuel[edit | edit source]
The Engine runs on Planks or Biofuel. While using Planks, the Engine will burn through a single plank in 36 seconds and a full tank of 17 planks in exactly 600 seconds (10 minutes instead of 612 seconds due to overfill). A single Biofuel is worth 17 planks in Engine runtime if put directly into the Engine and 20 planks if fed from a Tank, but also requires Honey making it a harder fuel to obtain. However, Biofuel can be stored in Biofuel Tanks and connected to the Engine through Fuel Pipes automating the process of filling the Engine with fuel. A Biofuel Tank can be filled with four Biofuel canisters and powers a single Engine for a total of 48 minutes (approximately 2.4 to 3.6 in-game days depending on whether or not the player sleeps).
Stuttering[edit | edit source]
If the Engine is unable to push the Raft, whether if it's anchored or overburdened, it will slow down to a stop while simultaneously stuttering indicating something is wrong. No fuel is used during this time, despite the Engine being on.
Following is a comparison of the running and stuttering Engine:
Show/Hide Videos
 - Too many Foundations. An Engine can push up to 100 foundations. Make sure that the amount of Engines covers the amount of Foundations.
 - The raft is anchored. Make sure no anchors are currently holding the raft in place.
 - One or more Engines lacks fuel. Check fuel level on all Engines.
 - The Engines are going in opposite directions. Check the Engine direction lever and make sure they match.
Speed[edit | edit source]
The Engine follows a few parameters when it comes to deciding the speed of the raft[1].
The first parameter regards sailing speed of the raft when using Engines, which is always valued between 1.5 and 2.5, and can never exceed these numbers. A single Engine will push the raft at a speed of 2, and adding an additional Engine will increase the speed of the raft to 2.5.
The second parameter regards overburdening the raft. As mentioned above, a single Engine can move up to 100 Foundations, however there is a 'Slow Zone' between 101-110 Foundations(per engine) where the Raft will still sail, but at reduced speed. This speed is defined as 1 per engine. If only 1 engine is being used, and it is in the 'Slow Zone', the speed will be set to the minimum of 1.5.
The third and last parameter looks for the relation between number of Foundations and number of Engines. There are basically three Engine speed settings in Raft, disregarding drifting. Slow sailing (1.5), when a single Engine can push the raft but at minimum speed before stopping completely. Medium speed (2), achieved by using a single Engine on a raft under 100 foundations, or by using 2 Engines in the 'Slow Zone'(201-220 Foundations). High speed (2.5), when a raft has multiple Engines which are successfully sailing the raft. Since Engine speed is additive when running multiple Engines at the same time, high speed is always achieved once the raft is successfully sailing with at least 3 engines, but not if the raft is overburdened.
Uses[edit | edit source]
 - Place on the raft and turn on to sail in a desired direction.
 - Use with a Steering Wheel to fully control direction.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
 - The Engine has a fuel capacity valued at 50, while one Biofuel fills a value of 60. As such, pouring Biofuel directly into the Engine's tanks will waste 10 units of fuel. To prevent this, the player must use a Biofuel Tank.
History[edit | edit source]

Cannot get rid of a link in a text view
Serious problem:
My application "Panel 1.0" uses a text view to hold the content. If you start the application and drag and drop a link from Safari into it directly, the link appears.
If you then delete the link and type some text, that text remains linked to the url the link had before and appears as linktext.
There is no way to get rid of it except restarting the application.
Most interesting: If you first type a space in the text view before pasting a link, you may type a space after the link followed by text and this text will not be linked.
Confusing!
Does anyone know (maybe by a call method) how to reset a text view to it's default state?
Thanks in advance!

The pressure sensor measurement line is indicated by the machined line around the logger body, just above the pressure access holes (Figure 8-6).
The pressure transducer is oriented in a plane normal to the long axis of the body, and detects pressure directed along the plane of the long axis. In vertical orientations, the sensor detects pressure above the pressure transducer line. In non-vertical orientations, the pressure zero point is proportional to the angle of inclination.

Detecting potential issues in naturally captured images of water is a challenging task due to visual similarities between clean and polluted water, as well as causes posed by image acquisition with different camera angles and placements. This paper presents novel deep invariant texture features along with a deep network for detecting clean and polluted water images. The proposed method first divides an input image into H, S and V components to extract finer details. For each of the color spaces, the proposed approach generates two directional coherence images based on Eigen value analysis and gradient distribution, which results in enhanced images. Then the proposed method extracts scale invariant gradient orientations based on Gaussian first order derivative filters on different standard deviations to study texture of each smoothed image. To strengthen the above features, we explore the combination of Gabor-wavelet-binary pattern for extracting texture of the input water image. The proposed method integrates merits of aforementioned features and the features extracted by VGG16 deep learning model to obtain a single feature vector. Furthermore, the extracted feature is fed to a gradient boosting decision tree for water image detection. A variety of experimental results on a large dataset containing different types of clean and stagnant water images show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods in terms of classification rate and accuracy.
