The Equipment tool offers you a simple and convenient way to insert non-structural, standalone elements such as pieces of furniture, hidro-sanitary equipments or electrical appliances to your projects. Equipments are based on Part shapes, which allow them to benefit from the solidity and possibilities of BRep geometry, and generate nice views when rendered to plan and section views.
As of version 0.17, equipment objects also have a DataHiRes property where a Mesh object can be attached. Equipment objects can then be made to display that mesh in the 3D view instead of their shape, which allows to use any high-resolution mesh objects such as detailed pieces of furniture commonly found on websites.

Scottish wildcat kittens offer hope that species can be saved from extinction

Updated Friday, 1st June 2018, 1:22 pm
Three Scottish wildcat kittens are getting used to their new surroundings at the Highland Wildlife Park - and they offer hope that the species can be saved from extinction.
The trio, born in March to mother Ness, have recently begun to emerge from their den at theÂ Royal Zoological Society park near Kingussie.

They might look similar to domestic tabby cats, but theyÂ are the newest additions to a breeding programme which aims to protect the iconic Scottish wildcat from extinction.
David Barclay, RZSS cat conservation project officer said, 'While it is always a joy to see the excitement in the visitor's faces as they catch a glimpse of the kittens exploring their enclosure, it is an even greater feeling knowing that young wildcats like these could be the saviour of the species in Scotland.
'With little evidence of viable populations in the wild it is clear to see how valuable reintroductions from the captive breeding population could be. These kittens, from a wild born father, possess genes that will allow for new breeding pairs to be established ensuring the population continues to grow.

'Very real threat of extinction'
'The Scottish wildcat is facing the very real threat of extinction due to hybridisation with domestic and feral cats as well as habitat loss and accidental persecution," addsÂ Barclay.
"However, together with our partners in Scottish Wildcat Action, Scotland's national conservation project for the species, we will continue to deliver conservation efforts for the species and make sure we give them the greatest hope of survival for future generations'
How wildcats differ
Although Scottish wildcats share some similarities with domestic tabby cats, the two species are not to be confused.

The Scottish wildcat is the same subspecies of wildcat as is found in continental Europe, but has been separated from them since the end of the last ice age, around 9,000 years ago.
Domestic cats originate from Near Eastern wildcats and have been through a process of domestication. So they have a quite separate evolutionary history to Scottish wildcats and behave quite differently.
Wildcats are less social, generally just coming together for a short period for breeding, normally giving birth to two or three kittens, which the mother will protect fiercely.
Photo: RZSS
Douglas Richardson, head of living collections at the park said, 'RZSS Highland Wildlife Park first bred Scottish wildcats in 1981.Â Over the years we have provided many of our offspring to other high-standard collections and so from quite early-on we sowed the seeds for what is now the formal conservation breeding programme.
'It is comforting to know that the wildcats within the formal breeding programme will provide the lifeline that the species needs to ride-out the very real threat of extinction in the wild.'


The Turkish Get Up (TGU) is a full-body, three-dimensional exercise that is great for shoulder stability, muscle endurance, and grip strength. As we perform this unique and artistic-like movement, there are a variety of high demand positions that our body must meet with the utmost quality in order to perform it successfully and safely. This includes excellent mobility in various aspects of the body, stability, strength, coordination, and mental focus. What is important to understand is that just because the Turkish is get up is a great exercise for may different aspects of movement, that does NOT mean everyone can or should be able to do it instantaneously without specific, individualized practice! In this article, you will learn everything you need to know to not screw up the Turkish Get Up.

Vegetarian dining in Portugal
Eating out in Lisbon and Portugal as a vegetarian.
This article researches the possibilities for vegetarians to have a good time on holiday in Lisbon and the rest of Portugal, eat enough healthy food and even taste traditional Portuguese food without having to consort to eating meat.
We'll give you some advice and tips on the best places to eat, get your nutrients and enjoy great meals dining out the way you should on holiday!
In the large Supermarkets all over the country vegetarian food has become easily available from the large choice of beans, lentil and nuts already much used in the traditional Portuguese Cuisine, you now also will find many soya meat imitations, Tofu, Seitan and other meat replacement products.
Going to restaurants you generally wont find these things on the menu.
If you don't eat meat but fish there is no problem, fish is on just about every menu. Inland you'll find less fresh fish but many Bacalhua (salted cod dishes) that make up a large part of the traditional menu all over Portugal.
You don't eat meat or fish? Than eggs, cheese are often available but after that it gets more difficult.
Some vegetarian facts
Vegetarianism is growing and growing worldwide and anno 2013 the statistics demand that we take vegetarians serious in our supermarkets and restaurants.
We already know countries like India and Taiwan to have a large percentage of vegetarians (respectively 40% and 10%)
Europe however has lower percentages but the amount of vegetarians are steadily growing due to more food and environmental awareness and the various meat scams of recent years.
The Netherlands has a percentage of roughly 5% vegetarians and most of the population eat meat only a couple of times a week.
The Uk scores higher roughly 10% of it's population is fully vegetarian.
Germany has almost 8 million vegetarians making it one the most vegetarian countries in Europe.
America scores around 6% of its population, which is, let's face it, a substantial amount of people.
Portugal however scores around 0.3% and most Portuguese cannot imagine a meal without meat or fish.
Hopefully, in the future, more and more restaurants will understand the necessity of creating fully vegetarian, balanced and delicious meals.
Traditional vegetarian foods that you can find in restaurants
Eating traditional Portuguese: It can be a bit of a challenge finding typical Portuguese food that doesn't consist of meat or fish, yet it's possible!
First of all don't make the mistake of going to a traditional restaurant thinking they can and will throw something together that will come close to a meal. The best you can hope for in most restaurants is an omelet or a couple of fried eggs, salad (not much more than lettuce, tomato and onion), white rice, potato, chips and if there out of eggs, well…..
So lets look at the traditional kitchen most dishes consist of fish, meat or mixes of fish and meat.
Some of the the side dishes however, can be exciting for vegetarians especially the really traditional ones that go back to a time when fish and meat where not daily available making some of them are really fully nutritious vegetarian meals and delicious if made well.
Check out the following
not a meal but a great beer snack that many Portuguese eat while socializing with friends over a beer or a glass of wine. They are big butter beans, salted and delicious as a snack. Most Portuguese will pop the bean out of it's skin (as it can be bitter) and eat only the inside leaving the skin on the plate provided.
Acorda is found all over Portugal and it's much like the Italian risotto but not made with rice but bread mixed with almost anything. Not al Acorda's are vegetarian but a lot of them are or could be if you ask the cook.
Acorda can be with beans, veg or gamba's. It's always mixed with plenty of olive oil and seasoning.
A type of acorda with beans. A filling and great vegetarian meal.
Migas Now Migas is one of my favourites. Especially the regional Ribatejan dish that you will find in Lisbon in restaurants that serve dishes from Ribatejo. But the whole country has different types of Migas all worth trying.
It literally means breadcrumbs and is made of the tougher, heavier country bread type. In Ribatejo they use Broa. The bread is cut into small pieces, mixed with olive, white bean, a Portuguese cabbage called caldo verde or couve Portuguesa also finely chopped, salt, pepper, sometimes garlic and other seasoning. It's delicious mixed with salad it's a filling and perfectly nutritious meal.
Most Portuguese soups are vegetarian. Generally stock cubes aren't used in preparing soups and a vegetable soups will be made using partly pureed vegetables, salt and olive oil. So if you can handle a meal made purely of soup (bread and olives) this can be a safe way to go.
Chick pea chick pea is part of the traditional Portuguese kitchen and most restaurants will have them. Very often they are mixed with chopped onion and fresh parsley and they can help in making a sufficient vegetarian meal.
In portuguese they are called grao (grouwng)
Many restaurants offer buffet and a lot of these buffet will have at least a few vegetarian dishes (if your strict you may want to check with the cook which dishes are really vegetarian but I've had a few of these meals choosing the veg, bean and chickpea dishes that did taste good and where fulfilling.
And from my experience that's where 'vegetarian' stops in all Portuguese traditional restaurants.
In Lisbon there are plenty of alternatives, generally a bit more expensive than the average, although the vegetarian meal is likely to be the cheapest.
Italian, Thai, Chinese, Indian, Turkish restaurants all offer vegetarian meals and there are many of them.
This month we will introducing a new tag to our restaurants that serve also fully fledged vegetarian meals, so they become easier to find!
Being a vegetarian I love the fully vegetarian restaurants that give me a menu where I can choose, wow, but being a person I like to go out with friends and not all of them get as excited as I do when I say 'vegetarian restaurant!'. that's why all restaurants should offer vegetarian alternatives, there are to many of us to ignore! And our meat eating friends do take us into consideration and will also move to a restaurant that offers both if they are to be found.
If on average 7% of eaters are vegetarian than 7% of menu's should be vegetarian but lets make it 10% it rounds better and gives meat eaters the opportunity to skip for one day.
Sadly not every vegetarian want tofu, which is pretty difficult to get and even more difficult to cook, if you want to get it right.
Why never a vegetarian lasagna (nuts replace meat very well) or a quiche. Want to do it portugeuse use all the beans from the traditional kitchen, spice them up the way you would any other Portuguese dish, serve with rice and a well fried egg or boiled potato and voila, a traditional Portuguese vegetarian meal is born!
Conclusion: if an average of 7% of the total tourist population are vegetarians just taking Europe and America into perspective, isn't it time for Portugal to start thinking of alternatives? At least there where there are tourists? And maybe offering fully fledged vegetarian meals to the Portuguese just to show them how delicious vegetarian food can be!
Vegetarian food is easier to cook, easier to keep fresh and a lot cheaper, shouldn't every restaurant be happy to have at least one dish on their menu and at least 2 because they like to offer choice!

From the measured refractive index data at room temperature and the corresponding appropriate temperature derivatives, Sellmeier coefficients are found for the evaluation of refractive indexes both below and above room temperature. These can be used to calculate phase-matching angles at different temperatures. We have evaluated temperature stability of phase-matching angles in tunable parametric oscillators and down-converters and also in up-converter operations which have been reported at room temperature. Temperature characteristics have been worked out for tunable generation of radiation near the 16 μm region in CdSe and the type II second-harmonic generation has been found to be possible for temperatures C in ZnGeP2because of its positive temperature coefficient in birefringence.

How to Check a Grill Ignitor
A gas grill ignitor is similar to a spark plug in a car's engine, in that its sole purpose is to provide a spark to ignite the gas mixed with the surrounding air. A properly functioning gas grill ignitor will quickly and easily produce a flame. If your ignitor isn't lighting the grill as expected, it could be broken or the problem could be related to the amount of char and grease that has built up on the burner.
Turn off the gas supply to the cold grill by rotating the gas shut-off valve on the top of the gas tank clockwise, until it stops turning. Remove the gas supply hose from the tank by loosening the coupler with a large pair of slip-joint pliers counter-clockwise, then twisting the loosened coupler off of the tank by hand.
Open the lid of the gas grill and remove the cooking grates. Pull out all of the lava rocks from on top of the rock grate and put them in an empty 5-gallon bucket. Lift the rock grate out of the grill.
Lift the vapor guard or flame spreader off the top of the burner. Pick up any rocks that fell through the rock guard to the bottom of the grill and put them into the bucket.
Locate the ignitor collector box, which should be an open-ended rectangular guard found in the center of the burner. Inspect the ignitor wire, which passes from the ignitor inside the collector box to the ignitor button on the front panel of the grill. If any of the ignitor wire's insulation has worn off, wrap electrical tape around the exposed areas of the wire a few time to insulate it.
Position a hand mirror so you can see the tip of the ignitor in the middle of the collector box. Press on the ignitor button on the grill's control panel a few times, while watching the ignitor in the mirror. If you see a spark with each click, the ignitor is functioning properly. If no spark is visible, then the ignitor and ignitor wire need to be replaced.

Is a Messy Room a Sign of Mental Illness?
An messy room can likewise be an indication that you have depression. A few of the standards for a depression analysis — sadness, exhaustion, and absence of focus — would all be able to assume a job in why your messy room is in the express it's in.
Moreover, what does a messy room show? Having an messy room may be the consequence of a great deal of variables. It may mean you are occupied and have brief period to clean and sort out. It may be an indication that you have an excess of stuff. Or on the other hand it may be the consequence of having small children in the house who are generally not roused to tidy up after themselves.
Messy youngsters are a juvenile generalization. Declining to keep their room perfect is regularly a path for teenagers to guarantee their space and proclaim freedom from their folks. In any case, an messy high schooler room can likewise be a side effect of an emotional wellness issue. Now and again, when a young person has a muddled room, depression might be the hidden issue.
According to the research of maid service Raleigh, NC, one out of each five young people experiences depression. Furthermore, sadness carries with it a wide scope of indications.
What's the muddled room–depression interface? Here's the manner by which the indications of sadness can prompt teenager chaos.
Depletion and steady weariness are warnings of wretchedness. These indications leave adolescents with no vitality or inspiration to tidy up their rooms.
Discouraged youngsters regularly keep away from social circumstances. That implies they're investing more energy in their rooms, prompting more jumble.
A feeling of gloom, trouble, and depression regularly accompanies sadness. Accordingly, youngsters may feel that there's no motivation to exhaust exertion to keep their own space flawless and sorted out.
The physical indications of depression incorporate unexplained a throbbing painfulness, migraines, and stomach issues. Teenagers experiencing these issues are probably not going to organize room cleaning.
Making some hard memories concentrating is another manifestation of despondency. This absence of center can make it hard for a young adult to remain focused and get their room cleaned.
Sentiments of disappointment and self-analysis ordinarily go with depression. Consequently, teenagers may feel that they don't have the right to have a perfect, composed room. Living in a messy space may be a subliminal method of rebuffing themselves.
Voraciously consuming food and other upset dietary patterns regularly go with sorrow. On the off chance that adolescents are squatted in their rooms, nibbling late around evening time or for the duration of the day, untidiness is unavoidable.
Studies have indicated that messiness produces tension and can cause individuals to feel discouraged. One investigation of moms living in jumbled homes found that they had higher-than-normal degrees of the pressure hormone cortisol. In this manner, living in a muddled room implies that an adolescent's sensory system is consistently in a condition of second rate battle or-flight.
Exploration utilizing fMRIs (utilitarian attractive reverberation imaging) has discovered that confusion and mess negatively affect the manner in which our cerebrums work. In addition, untidiness additionally impacts our feelings, conduct, connections, and even our dietary patterns. Exploration shows that we're bound to eat low quality nourishment when we live in a turbulent situation.
Thus, clearing mess from our condition causes us concentrate better, process data all the more proficiently, and increment our profitability. Furthermore, cleaning up causes us feel less fractious and occupied, contemplates show. Henceforth, the demonstration of cleaning can help turn around an awful state of mind.

Toy: City Of Circle
Architecture In Play
The toy "City of Circle" is the abstracted construction of a city.
Upon the bowl-like plywood base as the landscape, the toy provided an open-ended game: leveled or tilted, higher or wider, the children as a group can always find a way of interpreting the process of building.
The basic units of the toy are dual 2" cylinders. Each pair of cylinders are connected by colorful canvas, which could be rotated within 270 degree to accommodate different angles across the landscape. Positioned by rounded 3/4" dowels, the toy could be constructed via stacking.


Kary Bosma on Jubilee Fellows' Summer Internships
Kary Bosma coordinates Jubilee Fellows, a Calvin College summer internship for students considering pastoral ministry.
Kary Bosma coordinates Jubilee Fellows, a Calvin College summer internship for students considering pastoral ministry. Each summer Bosma and Jubilee Fellows co-directors Dale Cooper and Todd Cioffi divide visits among 12 interns.
Kary Bosma
Will you describe a typical visit?
We try to visit during weeks four or five of their ten-week internships, so we need to coordinate timing along with geography. A program representative visits an internship site for one or two days, enough time to discuss everything, including living with their host family and daily routines. We talk most about their internship. They make goals with their supervisor when the internship begins and complete a mid-point report to evaluate how well they are accomplishing their goals. We discuss how their work so far has impacted his or her sense of calling to ministry.
What challenges do Jubilee Fellows experience?
We talk about how the student is maintaining her relationship with God in the midst of serving him. We discuss what has surprised them about working in ministry. We also talk candidly about any difficulties, whether personal struggles or in work or with their supervisor or host family.
We meet with the student's mentor and any other church staff working closely with the student. It's an opportunity for them to speak honestly about the student's performance and express concerns. We express our gratitude for their mentoring our student.
How do these summer internships affect Jubilee Fellows?
Most come away with a new understanding of and appreciation for the daily work of church ministry. Students are often given opportunities to work in their interest areas, such as teaching, youth, and worship. They're challenged to participate in areas they aren't aware of or don't feel particularly gifted in, such as administration, children, and pastoral care. They often express surprise at all the behind-the-scenes work that happens daily or weekly. They find that, besides preaching on Sunday, a pastor may lead a funeral, make pastoral care visits, attend a worship planning meeting, fold bulletins, and manage church finances. A church educator planning for vacation Bible school must choose curriculum, plan activities and crafts, market the program to members and the community, recruit and coordinate volunteers, purchase snacks, and decorate the church basement.
Often students approach the summer hoping for affirmation about what career path to follow. Sometimes they expect to find the final answer to "Might God be calling me to a vocation in church ministry?" What often actually happens is they spend the summer learning more about themselves: how God has equipped them, which ministry areas best use their gifts, and how to improve in areas of weakness. Mentors reflect weekly with students on how their experiences are effecting or affecting their calling. Mentors affirm their gifts and challenge them when appropriate.
Why do churches continue or stop hosting Jubilee Fellows?
Congregations and mentors are often eager to welcome future Jubilee Fellows after their initial experience. They are usually pleased with the work done and student quality. It is a unique opportunity for churches to gain a highly motivated, thoughtful intern as part of a well-organized and established program...at no financial cost to the church. Several congregations host students year after year, because their staff and congregations are committed to mentoring future church leaders. Mentoring takes significant time and energy for the mentoring pastor, church staff, host family, and congregation. Not all churches are able to sustain an intern every year. Pastoral sabbaticals, retirements, or changing leadership may prevent churches from hosting another Jubilee Fellow.
Churches often want to host a Jubilee Fellow, but I don't have enough students to send out! As our network of internship churches expands—this year eight of our students are at new internship sites— we are blessed with the task of connecting each student with the church that best suits their vocational interests. I work with pastors at each potential site to determine the best fit. We prayerfully determine which churches will receive a Jubilee Fellow and which will have to wait.
As you look back on the years of Jubilee Fellows, how many have gone on to seminary or a church-related job?
Around 75 percent of former Jubilee Fellows have gone on to seminary or to serve in ministry-related fields, such as unordained church ministry, parachurch organizations, and missions.
The Jubilee Fellows program is part of Calvin College's Congregational and Ministry Studies (CMS) department. Read about CMS throughstudents ' eyes.

Data Discovery Customization Details
Only application admins can enable sensitive data discovery (SDD) on the Immuta app settings page. Then, data source creators can disable SDD on a data-source-by-data-source basis. Additionally, governors, data source owners, and data source experts can disable any unwanted Discovered tags in the data dictionary to prevent them from being used and auto-tagged on that data source in the future.
Dry run
Users can also configure SDD to do a dryRun, which allows them to see what resulting tags would be applied to a data source without actually applying them. See the Run sensitive data discovery on data sources page for details.
Trigger an SDD job through the API or CLI
Native and non-native SDD can also be triggered through the Immuta CLI or through the API.
Framework overrides
Data governors can create frameworks with overrides. These overrides will be used instead of the specifications within rules.
 - tags is an optional override for the tags applied by the rules.
 - minConfidence is an optional override for the minConfidence established in the rules. When the match confidence is at least the percentage defined in minConfidence, tags are applied.
 - sampleSize is an optional override for how many records to sample from the data source.
Native SDD does not support minConfidence or sampleSize because they are optimized for each data source.
Sample size
SDD uses a sample of data to assess the likelihood that a column contains data that fits the pattern specified in the configured rules.
The default for non-native SDD is to sample 1000 records (the sample size) during this process. However, administrators can configure the sample size on the Immuta app settings page. In general, increasing the sample size increases the accuracy of SDD predictions, but decreasing the number of records sampled during SDD may be necessary to meet some organizations' compliance requirements. Sample size can also be configured as a framework override.
Native SDD's sample size is not configurable because it is optimized for each data source.
SDD workflow
Three common workflows for using SDD are outlined below. The first walks through the SDD customization that can be completed entirely within the UI. The second illustrates how to apply a single global framework to all data sources; while the third outlines how users can create and apply frameworks to data sources they own, both with the API.
Workflow 1: Adjust the global framework for all data sources
Data governor enables and disables rules within the default global framework.
Workflow 2: Apply a global framework to all data sources
 1. Data governor creates a framework using one or more rules.
 2. System administrator adds this framework as the global framework, so that it applies to all data sources.
 3. Users trigger SDD on data sources.
Workflow 3: Apply a framework to a specific data source
 1. Data governor creates one or more rules with patterns:
 2. Data owner creates a framework containing one or more rules.
 3. Data owner applies their framework to one or more data sources.
 4. Data owner triggers SDD on one or more data sources, and resulting tags are applied to columns where criteria were met and patterns were recognized.

ListType elements can be shown on a geographical map if its list type has the geoMap feature configured.
Each list element that has the geoPosition feature will be displayed on the map. You can tap on an icon that represents an element to see the element label and its context actions.
If an action has only one argument which is a list with a geo map and the action has no buttons, the map will be displayed in a full action call screen. If a list with a geo map is an argument in an action that doesn't meet that criteria, the action call screen will display only a button for this argument. If the button is tapped a map screen will be shown.
If a list element has the geoLayerName feature that corresponds to a configured marker layer name, it will be assigned to that layer. If there is no marker layer configured, a default one with the null name will be created.
The map functionality is experimental.

Although importing a Japanese used car to Tanzania may seem daunting, when you take time to research the type of car and the taxes and regulations imposed you will discover that it is relatively straightforward.
Here we give an overview of the taxes, duties, and regulations for importing a car to Tanzania to get you started.
The process of importing your ideal vehicle as per the law of Tanzania is quite simple. Regardless of the vehicle type, it must pass through road-worthiness inspection. When the vehicle is roadworthy, the officials who inspected it will issue a certificate. When you use a reputable importing agency, it will provide the inspection service before shipping the vehicle.
If you are considering importing a car to Tanzania from Japan, it must undergo a JAAI inspection (Japan Auto Appraisal Institute), a non-profit organisation that is supervised by the Japanese Government. This inspection is applicable for people who import used vehicles from Japan.
In case the vehicle fails to pass the inspection, the seller must perform repairs before they can import it to Tanzania. If the individual imports a car that does not have the inspection certificate, the owner or importer must pay the penalty.
Taxes for Importing to Tanzania
There are Tanzanian tax regulations that an imported vehicle and owner must adhere to. In most cases, the price of the car includes the inspection fee as well as the handling fees. Import duties depend on the type and engine capacity of the vehicle that you want to import to Tanzania.
For example, for any vehicle whose engine capacity is 2000cc, it is entitled to an import duty of 25% and 20% VAT. This adds up to the dutiable value of 50%. A car with an engine capacity of more than 2000cc falls under the import duty of 25%, 20% VAT, and 10% excise duty. The dutiable value of this car accumulates to 65%.
If you are importing a passenger van, pickup, lorry or bus, you will pay 15% import duty, and 20% VAT. This accumulates to 32% dutiable value. In addition, the tax regulations depend on the age of the car. For instance, if you are importing a car to Tanzania that is 10 years old or more, you are entitled to higher taxes than those that are 10 years and below.
|Vehicle Type||Import Duty||VAT||Dutiable Value|
|Van / Pickup / Lorry / Bus||15%||20%||32%|
Maximum Age for Imported Cars
How old should the Japanese used car that you want to import be? Tanzanian law states that people cannot import vehicles that are 10 years old or more. In some cases vehicles older than this can also be imported, but at a penalty of 20%. Apart from the inspection and vehicle year, it is essential to understand the local taxes of Tanzania before importing a vehicle.
Depending on the policies of the government, the local tax regulations change with time. Therefore, it is necessary that you contact the local authority to gather the most up-to-date information before you import a car.
In addition to the duties and taxes imposed on imported cars from Japan, you will also need to take clearance possibly forwarding fees into consideration once your vehicle reaches the Port of Mombasa.
Reputable Japanese used car exporters such as BE FORWARD offer all-in-one packages and local offices in various locations around Tanzania that can assist with clearing and forwarding, saving you the headache of figuring it out for yourself.

Basic patch optimization using Expr
Expr (Value) is a node which allows you to evaluate a mathematical expression, represented as a string.
Fist dummy test
Let's do a test on a simple operation: x*2
As x*2 = x+x, i'm gonna try both ways using + (Value), * (Value), and expr with both operations.
On all patches I just run an = (Value) followed by AND (Boolean Spectral) to verify i have the same results for each operations.
I also put an lfo on the Phase pin of the spread, to make sure data changes all the time.
Here is the result in debug mode (Spread Count 50000):
As we can see doing x+x or x*2 is fairly similar.
Expr performs a bit better on the A*2 part, but no big deal really.
In this simple operation case we can the see using the standard node outperforms Expr.
Let's add another operation
Now let's add something to our equation, and let's change it to x*2+1.
From now we need two nodes to perform this. We can still write the formula as a string.
I'm also gonna add up two other ways for Expr, having the 1 as a variable (so formula becomes x*2+y)
There goes the debug mode result.
As we can see, both + * technique stay roughly the same, so let's get interested by the expr part.
x*2+1 patched takes: 38.8+29.1 = 67.9
expr, with the 1 within the formula becomes 49.6
expr, with the 1 as parameter, becomes 71.2
So if our y will never change, we can see that using Expr outperforms patching.
Now if our y will change, using the nodes is still faster, but the gap in performance is closing very quickly.
So let's do a bit more complicated formula :)
Some trigonometry
Well ok, it's not that bas, we just gonna use (x*2+1)*sin(z)
For the first try, we gonna use a spread count of 50000 for z, and 3000 for z.
Results as follow:
Now let's increase z spreadcount to 50000 as well:
What can we learn from that?
on a low spread count, our patch implementation does:
36.9+24.8+13.4+40.6=115.7
This is a bit faster than the Expr variable method, and a bit more than the Expr fixed method.
In this case please note that the sine function is evaluated only 3000 times then multiplied, whereas Expr evaluates it 50000 times at it fits in the expression.
On a high spread count for sine, the sine function on it's own takes 222.6, which is much more than the expr for the whole expression, so using expr makes your formula execute mush faster.
As an extra test on the 3000 spread count:
Function (Complex): 13.4
Expr (Value), using sin(A) : 5.1
Conclusion
 - When a value doesn't change , it fits well in the Expr node as hardcoded in the formula.
 - Trigonometric function is slow in comparison to Expr (would like to know why, possibly because of using complex numbers).
 - If every variable has different spreadcount, some techniques are more interesting than others. Like if a variable has an expensive operation but a low spreadcount, it's much better to evaluate it separately and integrate the result in the equation.

How does Smartcat handle repetitions?
During the project word count analysis, Smartcat identifies segments that are repeated both inside individual documents but also across all the documents in a project. Smartcat offers multiple options to deal with these repetitions. These options can be selected by the project manager in which case they will apply to all project participants. If no option is selected by the PM, the translation team will be free to choose how to deal with the repetitions individually. That last option might not be ideal as it might lead to uneven workloads since some users might choose not to share repetitions with the rest of the team.
The project manager can choose the repetition options in the Files tab of the project page:
This will bring up the following dialog box:
Option (1) is the main option - this will tell Smartcat that repeated segments are to be propagated automatically throughout the project when checked. Option (2) indicates how to deal with repetitions are using a different case (lower or upper): Use the original case - When inserting the repetition, Smartcat will match the case of the new segment. For example if the previous segment was "continued" but the new segment is "Continued", the text will be replaced automatically because it's a text repetition, but the translation will start with an upper case letter to match the new segment. Use the match case - Smartcat will ignore the capitalization of the new segment and use what was used in the segment that was previously translated. In our last example, the translation would now start with a lower case letter.
Option (3) instructs Smartcat to propagate translation to segments even if they have been confirmed already. This is helpful if for example the translators goes back to a repeated segments and makes a change.
And finally option (4) instructs Smartcat to apply the status of the current segment to all the other repeated segments. So once the translator marks the segment confirmed for one stage, all other repetitions will be confirmed as well for that stage.
In the editor, the translation team can change the auto-propagation options if the PM has not selected any.
Inside the editor, there is also an option to exclude segments from repetitions. Repetitions are indicated by a down arrow under the segment number:
By clicking on the arrow, we can mark the segment as being excluded from repetitions:
This can be useful when dealing with titles or picture caption where sentence can be cut in half and we don't want these segments to be repeated.

Victoria's Chief Commissioner of Police has apologised unreservedly for police actions that have traumatised Indigenous Victorians.
WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that this article contains images and names of people who have died.
- Victorian police chief Shane Patton spoke at the Yoorrook Justice Commission, the state's Indigenous truth-telling inquiry
- Mr Patton acknowledged discriminatory policing has traumatised First Nation peoples and said police would take action to address the over-representation of Indigenous people in the justice system
- Yoorrook chairperson Eleanor Bourke said the apology must bring about real change
In a statement to Victoria's Indigenous truth-telling inquiry, the Yoorrook Justice Commission, Shane Patton said the Indigenous community's over-representation in the justice system was "unacceptable" and pledged that Victoria Police would take action to address it.
"As Chief Commissioner, and on behalf of Victoria Police, I wish to formally and unreservedly apologise for police actions that have caused or contributed to the trauma experienced by so many Aboriginal families in our jurisdiction," Mr Patton said.
"I see the Yoorrook Justice Commission as an opportunity for State agencies like Victoria Police to publicly acknowledge the wrongs that have occurred and which still occur and to make a public commitment to how we intend to operate and engage with Aboriginal individuals, organisations and communities and to then follow through with actions to implement the commitments."
In his statement, Mr Patton addressed a number of issues within the justice system that have disproportionately affected Indigenous Victorians, including public drunkenness laws, the age of criminal responsibility and the treatment of people in police custody.
The Commission has heard that the state government's 2018 bail reforms contributed to the "unprecedented" mass incarceration of First Peoples in this state.
Nearly 1,200 Aboriginal people went to prison in the last financial year while on remand — meaning they spent time behind bars without being sentenced by a judge. There have been five Aboriginal deaths in custody in Victoria since 2020.
"No person should die or sustain a serious illness or injury because of contact with the criminal justice system. Every death in police care or custody is tragic," Mr Patton said.
"Victoria Police is committed to improving outcomes for Aboriginal people in police care and custody, including in partnership with Aboriginal communities. There should be no deaths of Aboriginal people in or related to police care or custody, or in any part of the criminal justice system."
Apology must bring change, Yoorrook chair says
The Yoorrook chairperson, Professor Eleanor Bourke, acknowledged Mr Patton's apology, saying it was important that the chief commissioner's words were on the public record.
Professor Bourke said "since the very beginning", Victoria Police has acted as the primary enforcement arm of a government that forcibly occupied Indigenous lands and destroyed families.
"The 'systemic racism, racist attitudes and discriminatory actions of police' over the last 170 years, it has been perpetuated with the intent of making us – First Peoples – disappear," Professor Bourke said.
"Yoorrook has heard that our people continue to be targeted, attacked, harassed and racially profiled by police. Since then, our children have been born into over-policed communities.
"Your presence today is very important because if actions do not follow your apology, then what hope do we have? Your apology must bring real change. The Yoorrook Justice Commission asks for an undertaking today that Victoria Police protect Aboriginal communities and families and respect our culture and human rights."
Mr Patton said he was "extremely concerned" that Aboriginal people in Victoria continued to report encounters with police involving racism, unconscious bias and unequal application of discretionary powers.
He also expressed concern about low substantiation rates of complaints by Aboriginal people the disproportionately low numbers of cautions given to alleged Indigenous youth offenders and low levels of confidence Indigenous Victorians have in making complaints to Victoria Police.
"The facts and matters in my statement are evidence that Victoria Police accepts that deficiencies remain and that, while we have been taking wide-ranging action, we still have work to do," Mr Patton said.
"As Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police, I will not tolerate bias, racism or unequal exercise of discretionary powers toward Aboriginal people [or anyone else]."

2 types of Avoidant Coping to Catch Yourself Doing
Avoidant coping is about trying to avoid experiencing painful thoughts, feelings, memories, or sensations.
Here are two types you should try to learn to recognize in yourself.
Type 1. Avoiding situations.
Type 2. Avoiding behaviours.
Doing either of these types is likely to be limiting your happiness and success so it will help you to learn how to spot 'em.
For example, someone who is anxious about committing in relationships might
1. avoid getting into emotional relationships (thereby avoiding situations likely to trigger his/her commitment anxiety).
2. Once in relationships, avoid enacting behaviours that increase his/her commitment anxiety (e.g. avoid saying I love you, avoid making joint purchases)


Silver City Elementary history teachers bring lesson alive
SilverCity HistoricFigures 2
Teacher transformations
Silver City Elementary School third grade teachers dressed up as the following American historical figures:
* Mary Jane McLeod Bethune
* Paul Revere
* Susan B. Anthony
* Lyndon B. Johnson
* Franklin Roosevelt
* Eleanor Roosevelt
* Frederick Douglas
* Caesar Chavez
* Theodore Roosevelt
NORTH FORSYTH -- Paul Revere galloped from class to class as Caesar Chavez talked about crops and a Silver City Elementary School student pushed Teddy Roosevelt down the hall.
Nine third-grade teachers dressed up as famous Americans from the history curriculum taught in Forsyth County Schools Wednesday to get their students excited and engaged about their lessons.
"We made timelines, just small snippets, and then they'll go back and do their research," said Gina Eigenauer, who was clad in an outfit to emulate Mary Jane McLeod Bethune.
An entire hall in the third-grade wing at the school on Dahlonega Highway (Hwy. 9) in north Forsyth had sheets of paper with timelines of American historical events centered around the figures.
Inside the classrooms, the teachers rotated to each group, some showing slideshows, others answering questions, all – female teachers – wearing suits, or wigs, or glasses, or long dresses.
John-Hartley Glude's favorite historical figure and lesson was Susan B. Anthony, he said, "because she got votes for woman, and I think that's fairer."
The third grader said seeing his teachers dress up was fun and he likes that they "do cool events for it and making little slides that we've learned."
Eigenauer said the teachers spent time Tuesday night setting up, which included hanging streamers and American flags in the hallways' openings and over doors.
"When they walked through the halls, their faces were like, 'What are we doing, what are we doing?'" she said. "Then they saw us all dressed up, they're trying to figure out who we were, and they're taking notes as we go along, so they're really excited."

Morocco has harvested an estimated 2 million tons of olives this season, an increase of 28 percent compared to the crop last year.
During his visit to El Attaouia province in El Kelaa des Sraghna, in the Marrakech-Safi region, at the 5th National Fair of the Olive Tree on Saturday, Minister of Agriculture Aziz Akhannouch said that the increase in olive production is due to the "favourable weather conditions."
The olive tree thrives in the Mediterranean climate with yearly temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius, rainy winters followed by sunny springs, and hot summers.
Akhannouch emphasized the significance of the main fruit tree cultivated in Morocco. A real conscious green effort by the African country. It covers more than 1.07 million hectares, accounting for 65 percent of the tree species in the country.
The olive sector is also a major source of employment, providing 380,000 permanent jobs. Women make up 20 percent of workers in the field.

How does the word saturnine derives! if you care why words derive!
Saturnine might have had originated in the fact that Saturn's Equinoxes are month long darkness (lack of sunshine for weeks altogether) as Saturn tilts away from sun (and toward sun) for 90 degree (Earth's 23.44 degree only)! Thats means parts of sun will get no sun-light for several weeks in the culmination of these Saturnine equinoxes.
So saturnine means a person who is gloomy or melancholic. ( — perhaps at-least for longer duration.)
I learned this because I was playing with words when grammar of my computer showed the word and I checked its meaning, I was although writing about equinox of Saturn, I came to learn this, cool is it?

Fish eggs can survive being eaten by ducks and some will still hatch again after being passed in droppings, study finds
- Researchers fed carp eggs to ducks in a laboratory and found 0.2% survived
- Of the eggs that passed through in tact, several actually went on to hatch
- The finding could explain how fish colonize isolated bodies of water
Fish eggs may be much more resilient than previously thought as new research shows they can survive being eaten and can actually hatch after being defecated back out into the wild.
A team of researchers from the Danube Research Institute made the discovery by testing what would happen when carp eggs were force fed to ducks in a laboratory.
The team fed 8,000 eggs from two different invasive species of carp to a group of eight mallard ducks, and then examined the duck feces to see what would happen to the eggs after being eaten.
Researchers force fed 8,000 carp eggs to eight mallard ducks in a laboratory and found that 0.2% of the eggs survived and were still viable and in tact after being defecated out, and several actually hatched two to three days later
While most of the eggs were destroyed while passing through the ducks' digestive system, 18 eggs, or around 0.2% of the total, made it through in tact, according to a report in Science News.
Of the 18 eggs that remained viable after being defecated back out again, three went on to hatch between two and three days later.
The team created a separate set of 200 fertilized eggs as a control to compare the hatching rates, but the control group developed a widespread fungal infection that killed most.
The ducks' digestive system is relatively fast moving, with most eggs passing completely through within an hour of being eaten, while a small number took four hours to fully pass.
'Despite the relatively short retention times of fish eggs within the digestive tract of mallards, these birds are still likely to play a significant role in long-distance dispersal of carp,' the team report.
The surprising discovery could help explain how fish end up colonizing small ponds and isolated lakes unconnected to other bodies of water
Adult carp lay an average of 100,000 eggs a day in the wild, and a mallard duck can fly over 800 miles in a single day
While the survival rate of the eggs was comparatively small, the team points out that a mature adult carp in the wild can lay as many as 100,000 eggs, meaning a significant percentage of fertilized embryo could survive being eaten.
According to the team, the findings could help explain the mystery of how fish have 'somehow colonized isolated water bodies all over the world without human assistance.'
In the past, scientists theorized that fish eggs might have been attached to the feathers or feet of certain species of waterbird, but the team's research introduces another potential explanation.
A mallard duck can fly as far as 80 miles in a single day, and could travel dozens of miles or more in single hour it might take an egg to pass through its digestive tract.
According to the researchers is to see whether the survival rates they recorded in a labortatory setting hold true for eggs in the wild

(usually called readme.txt) supplied with the patch. You should also read the documentation supplied with the patch (if any).
It is possible to apply just a single patch driver file non-interactively using AutoPatch. Here is an example:
Assume the following:
 defaults file is $APPL_TOP/admin/testdb1/def.txt
 Applying copy driver for patch 987654, which is located in directory $APPL_TOP/patch/987654.
 Using three parallel workers
 AutoPatch log file name is cpy987654.log
The AutoPatch command line would be:
adpatch defaultsfile=$APPL_TOP/admin/testdb1/def.txt \
logfile=cpy987654.log \
patchtop=$APPL_TOP/patch/987654 \
driver=u987654.drv \
workers=3 \
interactive=no
If we dont give any of the mode as mentioned above and apply the patch simply using adpatch command then its a normal mode of patch application.
Various Options used during adpatch.
Either these can be passed like <option_name>=<value> or adpatch will ask these value once its start executing.
Syntax
adpatch option_name= value
ex. adpatch defaultsfile=$APPL_TOP/admin/testdb1/def.txt
adpatch workers=16
1) defaultsfile
Purpose: This option is used when we are running the patch in non interactive mode. In that case we create defaults file and provide that file as an option for running patch in non-interactive mode.
Default: none. No default file read or written.
2) logfile
Purpose: This is the name of adpatch log file which it will write during patch application.
Default: none. Adpatch prompts for this value.
3) workers
Purpose: Specifies the number of workers to run. This value depends on number of CPU and other factors.
Default: none. Adpatch prompts for this value.
4) patchtop
Purpose: Top-level directory for the current patch. This is the directory after unzipping the patch. This directory will a patch number.
Default: none. Adpatch prompts for this value.
5) driver
Purpose: Name of the patch driver file. This comes with the patch and is present in patch directory.
Default - none. Adpatch prompts for this value.
6) restart
Purpose: To restart an existing session. Only valid when interactive=no is also specified
Default: No
7) localworkers
Purpose: Used in Distributed AD to specify the number of workers to be run on the current machine. If you have multi node instance (example RAC and shared APPL_TOP), then you can utilize this paramter to run the patch parallely in multiple nodes. You can start few workers on node 1, few on node 2 and so on. The way this can be done is that, you can start adpatch on one node with localworker=<some value less then total workers>. Then run adctrl on other node in distributed mode and start some mode workers. This will speed up the process and utilized the resources effectively.
Default: Value specified for workers.
8) printdebug
Purpose: To display extra debugging information.
Default: No.
Some other parameters which can be helpful for application of speeding up the patch application.
Syntax:
adpatch options=<value>

1) checkfile
Purpose: To skip running exec, SQL, and exectier commands if they are recorded as already run. Indicates that Autopatch should run the command *only* if a certain file is newer than the version of it that was last run. The idea behind it is to reduce the duration of an Autopatch session by skipping actions that don't really need to be performed. When used in the right manner, it can dramatically improve Autopatch performance, especially for big patches and/or long running actions.
Default: checkfile (use 'nocheckfile' to skip)
2) compiledb
Purpose: To compile invalid objects in the database after running actions in the database driver.
Default: compiledb (use 'nocompiledb' to skip)
3) compilejsp
Purpose: To compile out-of-date JSP files, if the patch has copy actions for at least one JSP file.
Default: compilejsp (use'nocompilejsp' to skip)
4) copyportion
Purpose: To run commands found in a copy driver. This will copy the higher version files from patch to product top.
Default: copyportion (Use 'nocopyportion' to skip. Use it only when mentioned in readme of patch)
5) databaseportion
Purpose: To run commands found in a database driver. This portion includes applying the files (like sql, pls etc) to database.
Default: databaseportion (use 'nodatabaseportion' to skip. Use it only when mentioned in readme of patch)
6) generateportion
Purpose: To run commands found in a generate driver. This portion will generate new executable files from the copied code of patch. For example if will generate new forms files (fmx) from new .fmb files.
Default: generateportion (use 'nogenerateporation' to skip)
7) integrity
Purpose: To perform patch integrity checking. Tells adpatch whether to perform patch integrity checking, which verifies that the version of each file referenced in a copy action matches the version present in the patch.
Default: nointegrity (By default the integrity is not checked)
8) maintainmrc
Purpose: To maintain the MRC schema after running actions found in the database driver.
Default: maintainmrc (use 'nomaintainmrc' to skip)
9) autoconfig
Purpose: Tells adpatch to run Autoconfig after patch installation.
Default: autoconfig (use 'noautoconfig' to skip)
10) parallel
Purpose: To run actions that update the database or actions (like SQL) that generate files in parallel (like genform).
Default: parallel (use 'noparallel' to skip)
11) prereq
Purpose: Tells adpatch whether to perform prerequisite patch checking prior to running patch driver files that contain actions normally found in the copy driver.
Default: prereq (use 'noprereq' to skip)
12) validate
Purpose: To connect to all registered Oracle Applications schemas at the start of the patch. Adpatch validates the passwords for each schema.
Default: novalidate (use 'validate' to validate schema passwords)
Below Flags can be passed to adpatch
1) hidepw
Purpose: This argument is used to hide the passwords in log files
Default: nohidepw
adpatch flags=nohidepw
2) trace
Purpose: Tells the adpatch utility whether to log all database operations to a trace file
Default: notrace
adpatch flags=notrace
3) logging
Purpose: Tells the adpatch utility whether to create indexes using the logging or nologging mode.
Default: logging
adpatch flags=logging
Log File Location
Patch log file location:
$APPL_TOP/admin/PROD/log
Worker Log file location:
$APPL_TOP/admin/PROD/log

F16 WarmUp Sound – SFX Demonstration
F16 WarmUp Sound from F-16 Falcon SFX
Demonstration of the F16 WarmUp, changing RPM from Idle to Afterburner using the F-16 Falcon SFX sound library.
The library includes 33 audio files and the detailed PDF-instruction for developers on how to use it. Total duration: 15 min.
The F110-GE-100 provides around 4,000 lbf more thrust than the F100-PW-200 and requires more air, which led to the increase in the area of the engine intake. The F-16C/D Block 30/32s were the first to be built with a common engine bay, able to accept both engines, with block 30s having the bigger intake and block 32s retaining the standard intake.
Initial orders were for the F110-GE-100 rated at 28,000 lbf (125 kN). Later versions of the F110 include the F110-GE-129 delivering 29,400 lbf (131 kN) thrust and the F110-GE-132 delivering 32,000 lbf.
Some Interesting Facts About The F-16 Fighting Falcon:
- The F-15 was in production, but the Air Force knew it was too expensive to fill all their roles. The smaller, less expensive F-16 was the answer.
- The F-16 was the first fighter jet to use a side-mounted control stick.


Conversion plugin phpdocx
Debugging LibreOffice
Debugging LibreOffice
If you use LibreOffice as the transformation tool for the conversion plugin and the example of the library doesn't create the output file, follow these steps to find out the source of the error:
1. Execute the LibreOffice conversion from the command-line interface.
For example, in Linux, type this:
Replace /opt/libreoffice4.3/program/soffice with the path to LibreOffice in your operating system, and replace document.docx for an existing document.
2. Execute the transformDocument example included through the CLI mode.
3. If the PDF file is generated through the CLI mode, but not with a web server like Apache, the error is due to a security or permission problem.
To call LibreOffice using Linux, the server:
 - Needs read and write permissions in the.config folder of the user's HOME directory.
 - Needs to delete the possible blockage of SELinux or the blockage of the execution settings of external programs.
So, for example, if the user of the web server is www-data, and the HOME directory of this user is the default /var/www, then you must provide the user www-data with read and write permissions in the directory /var/www/.config.
A custom HOME folder can be set when doing the transforming. For example, to set it to /home/web:
On common problems and possible errors page are detailed the most common issues when working with LibreOffice and how to solve them.
4. Check the server and system log files to detect other possible problems related to the configuration of any program or the lack of permissions.

Place Photos
You can use the Places SDK for iOS to request place photos to display in your application. Photos returned by the photos service come from a variety of sources, including business owners and user-contributed photos. To retrieve photos for a place, you must take the following steps:
 1. Call [GMSPlacesClient fetchPlaceFromPlaceId], passing a string with a place ID and a callback. This will call the callback with a GMSPlacePhotoMetadataList object.
 2. On the GMSPlacePhotoMetadataList object access the results property and select the photos to load from the array.
 3. For each GMSPlacePhotoMetadata to load from this list call [GMSPlacesClient loadPlacePhoto:callback:] or [GMSPlacesClient loadPlacePhoto:constrainedToSize:scale:callback:]. These will call the callback with a usable UIImage. Photos can have a maximum width or height of 1600 pixels.
Sample code
The following example method takes a place ID and gets the first photo in the returned list. You can use this method as a template for the method you will create in your own app.
Swift
// Specify the place data types to return (in this case, just photos).
let fields: GMSPlaceField = GMSPlaceField(rawValue: UInt(GMSPlaceField.photos.rawValue))!
placesClient?.fetchPlace(fromPlaceID: "INSERT_PLACE_ID_HERE",
 placeFields: fields,
 sessionToken: nil, callback: {
 (place: GMSPlace?, error: Error?) in
 if let error = error {
 print("An error occurred: \(error.localizedDescription)")
 return
 }
 if let place = place {
 // Get the metadata for the first photo in the place photo metadata list.
 let photoMetadata: GMSPlacePhotoMetadata = place.photos![0]
 // Call loadPlacePhoto to display the bitmap and attribution.
 self.placesClient?.loadPlacePhoto(photoMetadata, callback: { (photo, error) -> Void in
 if let error = error {
 // TODO: Handle the error.
 print("Error loading photo metadata: \(error.localizedDescription)")
 return
 } else {
 // Display the first image and its attributions.
 self.imageView?.image = photo;
 self.lblText?.attributedText = photoMetadata.attributions;
 }
 })
 }
})
Objective-C
// Specify the place data types to return (in this case, just photos).
GMSPlaceField fields = (GMSPlaceFieldPhotos);
NSString *placeId = @"INSERT_PLACE_ID_HERE";
[_placesClient fetchPlaceFromPlaceID:placeId placeFields:fields sessionToken:nil callback:^(GMSPlace * _Nullable place, NSError * _Nullable error) {
 if (error != nil) {
 NSLog(@"An error occurred %@", [error localizedDescription]);
 return;
 }
 if (place != nil) {
 GMSPlacePhotoMetadata *photoMetadata = [place photos][0];
 [self->_placesClient loadPlacePhoto:photoMetadata callback:^(UIImage * _Nullable photo, NSError * _Nullable error) {
 if (error != nil) {
 NSLog(@"Error loading photo metadata: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
 return;
 } else {
 // Display the first image and its attributions.
 self->imageView.image = photo;
 self->lblText.attributedText = photoMetadata.attributions;
 }
 }];
 }
}];
Caching
Photos loaded using [GMSPlacesClient loadPlacePhoto:callback:] or [GMSPlacesClient loadPlacePhoto:constrainedToSize:scale:callback:] are cached both on disk and in-memory by the Foundation URL loading system in the shared NSURLCache.
To configure the caching behavior you can change the shared URL cache using [NSURLCache setSharedURLCache:] in your application delegate's application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method.
If you do not want your application to share a NSURLCache with the Places SDK for iOS you can create a new NSURLCache and use this exclusively within your app without setting it as the shared cache.
Attributions
In most cases, place photos can be used without attribution, or will have the required attribution included as part of the image. However, if the returned GMSPlacePhotoMetadata instance includes an attribution, you must include the additional attribution in your application wherever you display the image. Note that links in the attribution must be tappable. See the documentation on attributions.
Usage limits
Retrieving an image costs one unit of quota; there are no usage limits for retrieving photo metadata. Read more about usage and billing.

The Dutch Weed Burger
The transition from an animal protein based to a more vegetable protein based diet is crucial to ensure the availability of sufficient food in the future in a sustainable way. The Dutch Weed Burger addressed this challenge by developing a 100 percent plant-powered hamburger, inspired by the combination of seaweed and algae with plants as the new superfoods. Researchers from Wageningen University have estimated that large-scale cultivation of sea weed can help solve the global food supply problem in a sustainable way. Its cultivation requires neither fresh water nor agricultural land and can help reduce acidification of the oceans.

Introducing the Performance of Political Feeling
- Date: Wednesday 27 February 2019, 14:00 – 16:00
- Location: University House
- Type: Seminars and lectures
- Cost: Free
covering Interdisciplinary Approaches and Perspectives
Part of the 2018-19 Sadler Seminar Series, 'The Performance of Political Feeling'
Across the disciplines of arts, humanities and social sciences, contemporary academic research has increasingly sought to devote attention toward the topic of emotion. Paired with an emerging focus in the political arena on the performance of emotion - and indeed political feeling more broadly, – this seminar aims to bring together academics from different disciplines to explore when, how and through what methods and means political feeling is constructed, mediated, understood and theorised. The event will use a film/television montage of events from political and cultural life that speak to the themes of politics/emotion/performance to stimulate conversation. Key questions include:
- What is political feeling? And how do political feelings emerge?
- What political feelings matter – to whom? And how, when and where are they mediated?
- What tenets of performance emerge from political feeling?
- What do the arts, humanities and social sciences do with the study of political feeling?
Key information and speakers:
The event will be introduced by Dr Beth Johnson and facilitated by Professor Stephen Coleman. The second half of the seminar will feature a short talk from writer, broadcaster and performer, Dr Kate Fox
Places are limited for this event, so if you would like to come along please send your rsvp to the seminar convener Beth Johnson
Location: St George Room, University House.

C Question
How to run multiple copies of another program - C
I have 2 files file1.c and file2.c
I want to run multiple copies of file1.c From My main file file2.c
Check the system calls fork() and exec(). A fork allows to copy the current process and all its memory. An exec call allows to replace to code to execute for the current process.
Basically, from your main process, you would fork multiple times. If the result of fork is 0, call exec with the command line for your child process.
int i;
 // fork() returns 0 for the child process,
 // and the actual pid of the new process for the parent process.
 pid_t pid = fork();
 if (!pid) {
 // This if will be executed only by the child process.
 // execvp() first argument is the executable file,
 // the second argument is a varargs for each arguments of the command line.
However, for this to work, both c files must be compiled into executables.


Caralelis a free app for Android devices that allow you to connect multiple devices simultaneously to capture. This app creates a camera network on the host device and other devices can join that network via a QR code. Once connected, the camera is opened on all connected devices and the host can make the recording on all devices simultaneously. The output can be saved as separate images or as an animated GIF made from all camera angles.
Capturing multiple camera angles with Caralel is a simple and clear process. If you are using a network-based file sharing app (for example, ShareIt, Zapya, MiDrop, etc.), you may see the process roughly the same. Just like all those apps, you must first connect all devices and you can place and record all devices from the host device. Once captured, this app takes the camera input from all connected devices and copies them to the host device, where you can save all entries as separate images or edit them to create a GIF. Here are the steps involved in the process.
Connecting smartphones
 Connecting Android phones to capture multiple angles
To use Caralel on multiple devices, open the app on all devices. This app shows a host and a join button on the home page. Click the Host button on one device and Close the button on the rest. If you do this, you will receive a QR code on the host device. Scan that QR code on other devices to connect them to the host device.
Capture
 connects Android phones to capture at the same time
Once the connection is established, this app shows all connected devices on the host device along with a chat and a camera button. With the chat button, you can send an SMS to all connected devices. And the camera button starts the camera on all devices. From there, the host can switch between front and rear cameras and capture the display of all connected devices simultaneously. Upon recording, all devices send their photos to the host device.
Output
 capture multiple angles by connecting Android phones
After receiving the photos from the connected devices, the host device offers two options; one to store files individually and another to create an animated GIF. If you choose the animated GIF option, it shows you all photos with some editing options. These options include rotate, mirror, copy, delete, and change order. With these options, you can make the desired changes to the images, generate an animated GIF with them and save them on your device.
Grab this Caralel app from the Play Store.


Why you should never let your pet into your bed
And a few other pet hygiene faux pas...
dog bed sleep
Stella StellaGetty Images
How often do you wash your pet? According to a new survey, for a third of British cat and dog owners, the answer is never.
The research by Animalfriends.co.uk also discovered that a quarter of owners don't wash their pets' food and water bowls on a regular basis. And, perhaps more surprisingly, they found that 18% of owners let their animals eat food from family plates, with 32% finding pet hairs in their meals.
The results, found from a poll of 2,000 cat or dog owners, also showed that nearly half of Brits (46%) are happy to let their pet share a bed with them. This is not only unhygienic but potentially harmful to our health.
Animals can carry and spread stomach bugs like salmonella, and can infect us with parasites, fungal infections, tapeworm, roundworm and some superbugs.
The US-based Centers for Disease Control has summarised the dangers of sharing a bed with your dog. The lead author of their report Bruno Chomel, a professor at the University of California School of Veterinary Medicine, says that people who sleep with their pets can acquire so-called zoonotic diseases (meaning diseases that come from other animals).
But there is one part of the country which is a worse offender than any other in terms of pet hygiene. This is Chelmsford, where 46% of owners admitted to never washing their pets and 12% claim they've been told their house'smells of dog'.
'Many people will only remember to wash their pet's bedding if it's visibly dirty or smells, however, as pointed out in our survey, many pet owners get used to the smell of their animals,' Westley Pearson, managing director from Animalfriends.co.uk said. 'It's advisable to wash your pet's beds as often as you change your own bedding.
'As for your pet's food bowls, these should be washed daily to keep the germs at bay to protect both you and your pet. You wouldn't eat your dinner on a dirty plate, so why should your dog?'
We are sure that you take the bast care of your family pets but, when it comes to hygiene, there's no harm in a gentle reminder for those who perhaps let things slip.

Sea water increases peanut yield
MetadataShow full item record
Did you know that you can increase the yield of your peanut by irrigating your plants with sea water? That's what a lady farmer scientist from Ubay, Bohol had discovered in her own experiment. The farmer scientist is Cirila Cuyacot, a participant in the Farmer Scientist Training Program (FSTP) that was launched in 1994 by Dr. Romulo Davide, a professor emeritus at UP Los Baños. Under the program, ordinary farmers are taught the scientific ways of growing crops by experts from UP Los Baños and other agencies who conduct lectures and hands-on practice. They are called farmer-scientists and they are also encouraged to do their own experiments in their own farms.

Vegetable sponges: how to grow them to say goodbye to plastic
Vegetable sponges: how to grow them to say goodbye to plastic
Vegetable sponges are also known as Luffas, they are the fruits of a plant of the cucurbitaceae family, related to pumpkin and cucumber and it is very easy to grow at home.
Luffa is a fruit that has many fibers inside and can perfectly replace the use of traditional sponges that are made of plastic. Vegetable sponges are natural and 100% biodegradable, unlike commonly used sponges, which makes them less polluting.
How is it grown?
This plant has more male than female flowers, so it is advisable to place more than 5-6 plants to have a reasonable production. Pollination is essentially carried out by bees and it is convenient to install 1 to 2 hives per hectare.
It can grow as a vine, climbing a wall or forming a pergola, incidentally, it will project a good shade.
Luffa adapts to many types of soil, but it thrives best in soils with a loamy or sandy texture, deep or well drained with organic matter, in addition to maintaining a pH of 5.5 to 7.5 preferably.
The plant grows best in areas with tropical and subtropical climates. They regularly flower on short days, but there are also long-day cultivars.
How is it used?
The main use of this vegetable is the production of natural sponges, but if it is harvested early, it can be eaten like zuchinis. The sponge is also used to make bath, beach and cleaning products, such as massage gloves, mops, hats and shoes. In addition, its flowers are delicious in salads or fried as well as pumpkin.
You can use it for the shower (it is a very good exfoliator), to wash dishes, wash the bathroom, etc.
Luffa also has medicinal properties as a laxative, topical, and diuretic.
