text: This paper presented a newly developed transparent pullout testing device conceived with the objective of studying the soil–geogrid interaction under small displacements and strains. The bottom plate and the side walls of the pullout box were transparent. The system involved a transparent soil, which was tested as a surrogate for sands in the testing program. The setup led to 3D visualization of the soil–geogrid interaction as it allowed direct visualization of the plan view of the geogrid as well as of the side view of the soil–geogrid interface. Markers embedded in the transparent soil mass allowed tracking of soil particle displacements during the test. The tests were conducted using a polypropylene biaxial geogrid and both transparent soil and a conventional sand. Displacements along the geogrid were obtained continuously using digital image correlation (DIC) techniques in tests with transparent soil, and using tell-tails at five junctions in tests with sand. Comparison of test results with both soils showed that the transparent soil constitutes a good surrogate for sands in pullout studies. The pullout test with transparent soil also indicated that displacements along the geogrid could be properly described using an exponential function. Moreover, exponential fitting to the displacement data led to an exponential distribution of strains along the geogrid during pullout testing. Deflections of transverse ribs were first observed at early stages of the test when only 25 % of the maximum pullout force developed. The observed displacement patterns of the soil markers were useful in defining the zone of influence of the geogrid, which could be successfully quantified using the newly developed testing device. Overall, the new equipment was found to represent an effective tool to better understand the mechanisms involved in soil–geogrid interaction, particularly those that are relevant to quantify the interface stiffness.

Effects in World Space
In Spark AR Studio, you can create AR effects that transform someone's environment when they're looking through the back camera of a mobile device.
One way of doing this is by moving an object from camera space, into world space. If an object is in world space, you can set it to be in a fixed location in someone's environment. Only mobile devices with a gyroscopes can use effects in world space.
Another way of creating a world effect is with the plane tracker.
Learn about:
The difference between camera space and world space
By default, all objects are added to the scene as children of the Camera in the Scene panel. This means they're in camera space, and will move with the movement of the device.
To see camera space, select the Camera in the Scene panel. This will highlight 2 rectangles in the Viewport in blue:
 - The smaller rectangle represents the mobile device.
 - The larger rectangle represents what's in view of the camera.
In the example below, the heart is in camera space.
When an object is no longer a child of the Camera, it's in what's known as world space. This means the object can be placed in a fixed location in someone's environment.
Moving an object into world space
To move objects out of camera space and into world space, all you need to do is:
 1. Select the object.
 2. Drag it to the bottom of the Scene panel.
This will position the object at 0 along the X, Y and Z axes.
We've done this in the example below:
Positioning an object in world space
Use the Manipulators at the top of the Viewport or edit the Transformations of an object in the Inspector to experiment with its position, rotation and scale.
Previewing objects in world space
Use the Simulator to simulate the movement of the device, to get an idea of how your world effect looks.
Or, preview your effect on a device using the Spark AR Player app.
Removing device motion capability
When you move an object into world space, Device Motion Capability will be added. Leaving it in place will limit the mobile devices your effect can work on, so it's a good idea to remove it if you've decided to make an effect in camera space instead.
If you move that object back to camera space or delete it, you'll need to remove the capability:
 1. Go to Project in the Menu bar and select Edit Properties.
 2. Select Capabilities then Device Motion.
 3. Click -.

Sometimes you end up with more cutlery than you know what to do with. It's not a bad problem to have, seeing as you'll never run out of forks, but more forks means more dishes to wash, which is a problem no one wants to have. Instead of throwing away those helpful tools that assisted you in the enjoyment of delicious meals past, appreciate them by finding a creative use for them. Believe it or not, old eating utensils can be transformed into great hooks for hanging purses, reusable grocery bags, or even keys! Follow these six steps to upcycle your old forks into neat hooks.
You will need:
- Soft hammer (rubber or rawhide)
- Old fork or one you are just willing to sacrifice
- Assortment of pliers
- Drill with standard screw-sized bit (not pictured)
- Protective eyewear (not pictured)
- Strong hands (not pictured)
1. First, hammer out the fork until it is completely flat. Make sure you are using a soft hammer so you do not damage the fork in the process. It is best to place the fork upside-down and begin hammering it flat, then flip it to finish it up. This is a lot harder than it would seem and can take a decent amount of time. To make the time pass quicker, think of something that makes you really angry, such as energy waste, to zone out while you're pounding away.
2. Next, use your pliers to decoratively shape the fork's prongs to your liking. Be sure to keep a firm grip on the fork while fashioning the prongs, as to not let it slip and cause an accident. There are many ways to shape prongs, just be sure to keep them moderately flat so your finished product won't poke you when you hang things.
3. Now, put on your protective eyewear and use caution while you drill a screw hole in the center of what will be the mounting piece. Be patient and let the drill bit gradually reach the other side, otherwise you will break the bit or even worse, hurt yourself. Once the hole is complete, wait a minute before touching the fork, as it will be hot from the metal-on-metal friction.
4. Once your fork has cooled, test to ensure it is still flat by holding it against a wall. If it has bent during the prong bending or drilling process, take a moment to hammer it out until it once again lays flat against the wall.
5. Use your strong hands to shape the handle into a hook. It helps to go against the natural curve of the handle but be gentle; this spot can easily become vulnerable and snap. If you're having trouble, lay the fork on your work surface edge with the handle free and use the edge's resistance to your benefit.

Hesper Black (née Gamp) (fl. _PHONE_) was a pure-blood witch who married Sirius Black II. The couple had three children together: Arcturus, Lycoris, and Regulus.
She was a grandmother of Orion Black and Lucretia Black.
Hesper is an English variation of the name Esther, which is believed to be derived from the Persian word for "star," possibly an allusion to the naming pattern of the family she married into.
The Book of Esther in the Old Testament tells the story of Queen Esther, the Jewish wife of the king of Persia who saved her people from extermination.
There was also one Esther by birth in the Black family – Hester Black.

SPHN Federated Query System
Information retrieval systems enabling researchers to query for specific clinical information of patients have so far been limited to individual clinics or single hospitals. With the new Federated Query System (FQS), established in the realm of the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN), it is now possible to search for fully anonymized clinical information across all five university hospitals, while allowing the hospitals to retain full control over their data.
The SPHN Federated Query System (FQS) allows queries on anonymized and nationally harmonized data coded in national or international terminologies. Researchers can assess whether and where patients or patient data potentially suitable for a specific research question exist at one or several of the Swiss University Hospitals (UHs). The system enables researchers to verify the feasibility of their project by running simple queries against a subset of clinical data of all UHs. Additionally, it allows designing and optimizing inclusion and exclusion criteria for study protocols without transferring any patient data.
These queries may include demographic information (age and gender), diagnosis (ICD-10), procedures (CHOP), medication (ATC) with substance amounts and lab test (LOINC) with lab results and units (according to UCUM). Overall, the system includes over 700 Mio data points from currently over 700 000 patients, who signed the general consent.
SPHN-Federated-Query-System-2.png
Access Criteria
The FQS is accessible for authorized users through the BioMedIT portal (find instructions here).
Access requirements:
 - The user's institution has signed an agreement with SIB. Currently, the five Swiss university hospitals and the Universities of Basel, Bern, Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, EPFL and ETH Zurich are part of the network. Additional institutions (e.g. further Swiss universities) have the possibility to join the consortium (contact the DCC for more details).
 - Users have a SWITCH edu-ID account with their employing institution linked in their profile (though SWITCHaai). USB users need to contact their local IT to manually set up the authentication through SWITCHaai via SWITCH edu-ID
 - Each user has individually agreed to abide by the FQS Acceptable Use Policy.
Software and Data Architecture
The FQS is a federated distributed query system based on a customized version of the Patient Network Explorer (PNEx) software product developed by Clinerion. The local implementation at the hospital side is taken care of by the FQS WG. The data follows the same semantic standards as the SPHN semantic interoperability framework, so feasibility studies for research projects and real-world data provision are aligned in terms of semantic data standards.
Regular Data Loads
New anonymized data are loaded into the FQS on a regular basis, which means that the number of eligible patients in a given query may change over time as the total number of data points increases. The new data is loaded on the first Tuesday and Wednesday after the first Monday of each month. During this time, the system will be offline.
Watch our demonstration of the system here.

The Qwevla pseudo-3D race portrait.
The Qwevla Pseudo-3D conversion is a partial shipset for Space Empires IV.
It was created by Andres Lescano, who applied a 3D bump-mapping tool to the 2-dimensional Space Empires III shipsets.
Biological Description
The Qwevla are a bulbous organic species that are hideously ugly. Due to their semi-solid form, they have enhanced their bodies with artificial exoskeletons. Without the technological physical enhancements, the Qwevla move very slowly and have difficulty sensing their environment. The Paretorian have an average lifespan of 70 years.
Society Description
The Qwevla are organized into an imperial government with an emperor considered to be the son of god. The people are in absolute thrall to the emperor and will do anything that he commands. Their race tends to be very reclusive and solitary. Due to their horrible appearance, they find relations with other races to be very difficult.
General History Description
The history of the the Qwevla has been very sparse. Few races will interact with them because of either their appearance or the lofty nature of their emperor. They have devoted much of their time to engineering pursuits and improving their exoskeletons.


Thread Text into Shapes with Adobe CS5
Adobe Creative Suite 5 (Adobe CS5) Illustrator allows you to create custom columns of text that are in different shapes and sizes by threading closed shapes together. This technique works with rectangles, circles, stars, or any other closed shape and can lead to some creative text areas.
Follow these steps to thread text into shapes:
 1. Create any shape, any size.
 For this example, we've created a circle.
 2. Create another shape (it can be any shape) someplace else on the page.
 3. With the Selection tool, select one shape and Shift-click the other to make just those two shapes active.
 4. Choose Type→Threaded Text→Create.
 A threading line appears indicating the direction of the threaded text.
 Threaded text areas flow from one area to another.
 Threaded text areas flow from one area to another.
 5. Select the Type tool, click the top of the first shape to start the threading, and start typing.
 Continue typing until the text flows over into the other shape.
If you no longer want the text to be threaded, choose Type→Threaded Text→Remove Threading, which eliminates all threading from the text shapes. To remove one or more, but not all, shapes from the threading, select the shape you want to remove from the threading and choose Type→Threaded Text→Release Selection.

What's In A Name? Trumeau Mirror
Our trumeau wall mirror designs have been a steady seller for us over the years. The history behind these elegant designs is interesting – A quick search on Wikipedia:
A trumeau mirror is a wall mirror originally manufactured in France in the 18th century. It takes its name from the French word trumeau, which designates the space between windows. In England it is normally known as a "pier glass."
Trumeau mirrors were originally intended to hang on a wall between windows, providing a decorative element and bringing more light to the room. Most antique trumeau mirrors are highly ornate and often gilded.
The mirror is almost always rectangular and sometimes includes a decorative portion at the top, with the mirror below it. Those designed to be placed above a mantelpiece, rather than between windows, could have candles placed in front of the mirror to increase ambient light.
Reproductions of 18th-century trumeau mirrors became popular in the Regency period in the 1950s, when French furniture was popular.

What is the best method for finding impulse peaks (dirac delta) in a 2d matrix.
More specifically, I would like to find the harmonic frequencies of a given image and so I need to find impulse peaks in the image absolute value DFT.
I thought of using findpeaks but there's no 2d version. I also saw earlier posts regarding finding ordinary peaks using imdilate and/or imextendedmax but those find all the peaks in a 2d matrix whereas I am only interested in impulse peaks. I am sure DSP people have a common recipe for this...
Please Help,
share|improve this question
Define an "impulse peak". – Oli Charlesworth Nov 21 '10 at 23:23
I'm looking for frequencies in which the Fourier Transform absolute value takes a value of a Dirac delta function at that frequency (infinity). Obviously, for a DFT you don't expect to see infinity but a major peak. Problem is how to find those peaks in 2d and how to distinguish them from normal (lower, non impulse) peaks. – smichak Nov 22 '10 at 5:28

What you want to do is find peaks with high contrast. Thus, you need a way to identify local maxima, plus a way to measure the difference between the peak and the surrounding values. Thresholding on this difference will identify the impulse peaks for you.
Assuming your input signal is called signal
%# dilate to find, for every pixel, the maximum of its neighbors
dilationMask = ones(3);
dilationMask(5) = 0;
dilSignal = imdilate(signal, dilationMask);
%# find all peaks
%# peaks = signal > dilSignal;
%# find large peaks peaks by thresholding, i.e. you accept a peak only
%# if it's more than 'threshold' higher than its neighbors
peaks = (signal - dilSignal) > threshold;
peaks is a logical array with 1's wherever there is a good peak. You can use it to read peak heights from signal with signal(peaks), and to find coordinates using find(peaks).

OK - that's a start... but how do I choose threshold? I assume it should depend on the input signal. Is there a good method /rule of thumb for choosing it? – smichak Nov 22 '10 at 20:50
They're Dirac peaks, so the threshold is infinity :P. Joking aside, there is no single best way of choosing a threshold. You can try and run graythresh on signal-dilSignal if there are two clear peaks, one for signal and one for noise. You can also set the threshold as 3 robust standard deviations (median absolute deviation) of the signal. Maybe you can even decide on a fixed value if all your data is very consistent, and the height of the peak has an easily identifiable meaning. – Jonas Nov 22 '10 at 22:26
OK - that sounds promising... I will go with that. – smichak Nov 23 '10 at 5:53

This paper I wrote contains Matlab source code for fast local peak detection in 2D. It works similar to imregionalmax() in Mathworks Image Processing Toolbox but allows you to specify a local neighborhood radius: bigger radius -> sparser peaks.
Since you expect sparse impulses, the nonmaxsupp_scanline() function may be suitable for you.

The findpeaks() algorithm is pretty trivial; if an element is bigger than both its neighbours, then it is a peak. Writing a 2D version of this should be pretty simple.

text: The physical risk factors are important for the health and safety of employees, but were not determined up to date. The objective of this study was to ergonomically evaluate the exposure of workers to the physical risk factors (noise, particulate matter (PM), lighting, air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity) in feed mills. The research was carried out in the storage, dosage, and packaging departments of three different feed mills. Noise values were measured with noise meter and PM concentration with a personal sampler using gravimetric method. Lighting, air temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity values were determined using a multi-function measuring device. It was determined that the measured noise exceeded the upper exposure action value (85 dBA) and was very close to the limit value (87 dBA), PM10 concentration in storage sections exceeded the recommended limit value (10 mg m(-3)), lighting in dosage and packaging sections was below the limit values (1000 lux) in the three departments of the enterprises. Temperature was higher than the recommended values in all departments and also humidity and air velocity values were determined to be insufficient.


Chinese Iron Balls
How Iron Balls Are Made
How to Videos
Chinese Iron Balls
Chinese Iron Balls originated in Baoding, China. Baoding, China is said to have three treasures. The first is the iron ball, the second is a sauce made from fermented flour, and the third is potherb mustard. These treasures have been passed down through the generations for over 300 hundred years.
The iron balls were used as a therapy exercise. A pair of balls are held in your hand and rotated in circles around each other. As you rotate, your fingers get a work out and your dexterity improves. It takes a lot of practice to be able to rotate the balls in both directions. Usually it is easy to rotate a pair clockwise, but takes skill to rotate counterclockwise.
The reason the iron balls are good for therapy besides the physical exercise, is that the Chinese believed the iron balls pressed on certain acupuncture points on the hands. This action enhanced the flow of a persons chi energy which promoted good health and long life.
Today they are still used by tai chi classes, physical therapists, musicians, stressed out people, and people with carpal tunnel syndrome just to name a few. Since they have so many applications, they go by many names such as chinese stress balls, health balls, exercise balls, tai chi balls, and baoding balls

As part of their ongoing efforts to retarget subsidies, the government has decided to remove the electricity rebate for households with electricity bills above RM220 in 2024.
However, the government also decided to keep the electricity tariff unchanged for its industrial and commercial users, at least for the first half of 2024.
In the new revised subsidy mechanism, households with an electricity usage of 600 kilowatt hour (kWh) to 1,500 kWh, which translates to an electricity bill of RM200 to RM707 monthly, will not enjoy the current RM0.02 per kWh rebate.
However, this is not really something for these affected households to worry about, as according to the energy commission, it will only mean an increase of 4.2% to 6%, which amounts to an additional RM12 to RM32. Furthermore, it is estimated that these changes will only affect 15% of all households in Malaysia.
But, these households will still continue to receive the 10 sen per kWh surcharge discount, which is applicable since July 2023 to households consuming over 1,500 kWh of electricity per month.
According to The Edge, the move to reduce the number of households enjoying the electricity rebate will mean that the government will only spend RM1.9 billion in electricity discounts for the first half of 2024, a relatively lower number compared to the RM5.2 billion spent in the second half of 2023.
Meanwhile, the Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia have lauded the government's move to keep the electricity tariff for industrial and commercial users, but remains concerned about the uncertainty that the Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT) mechanism might bring.
"The energy costs remain a major concern for small and medium enterprises, and while we support the energy transition roadmap, we must be careful that any incremental costs are gradual and supportive of growth," he told Bernama.

The Antari from Antares
By Alloya Huckfield
This book is a sharing of my experience of working with 11th dimensional beings called the Antari who come from the star collective Antares. It is a Light Body manual containing information about the various layers of the Auric Field or Plasma Sheath from their lofty perspective. It describes in detail the various layers and their functions.
The Antari describe the mechanism of the conversion of energy into Light via several different light devices within the Kether (outer layer) of the Auric Field.
The Antari are on a mission to assist us in transforming our energy body to be able to accept high vibrational star codes from higher dimensions. Within this book it is hoped that a glimpse into the workings of the Light body is achieved.

Every widget primitive and compound widget can carry a user-specified value of any IDL data type and organization; that is, every widget contains a variable that can store arbitrary information. This value is ignored by the widget and is for the programmer's convenience only.
The initial user value is specified using the UVALUE keyword to the widget creation function. If no initial value is specified, the user value is undefined. Once the widget exists, its user value can be examined and/or changed using the GET_UVALUE and SET_UVALUE keywords to the WIDGET_CONTROL procedure.
User values can be used to simplify event-handling. If each widget has a distinct user value, you need only check the user value of any event to determine which widget generated it. In practice, this means you do not need to keep track of the widget IDs of all the widgets in your widget hierarchy in order to determine what to do with a given event.
Another use for user variables is to simulate a variable that is available in more than one IDL routine. For example, you can set the user value of a top-level base widget equal to one or more widget IDs. You then have an easy way to pass the widget IDs from your widget creation routine to your event handling routine.
We will take advantage of both of these aspects of user values in Example 2: Event Processing and User Values.

Measuring strategies for smooth tool steel surfaces
Paper i proceeding, 2008
Comparisons between different measuring strategies were made on three types of smooth tool steel surfaces. Three replica materials were tested to study possibilities within replication techniques. An optical interferometer as well as a mechanical stylus was used to evaluate the surfaces. The results showed that the tested replica materials generated good representations of both the form and the surface roughness (Sq > 300 nm). The evaluated surfaces were quite homogeneous, thus, few measurements are needed to get representative results. However, it was found that caution must be taken regarding manually polished surfaces which can be less homogenous and therefore require more measurements to get representative results.


Why Does My Subwoofer Make a Popping Noise?
A popping noise from the subwoofer indicates a power mismatch in the circuit. The popping noise occurs as the amplifier tries to produce more voltage than it can to meet the demands of the subwoofer. This ends up clipping the sound on every cycle.
A power mismatch is not the only issue that causes a popping noise from the subwoofer. The noise may also be due to loose connections in the circuit.
To fix the error, check that the power outage from the amplifier matches the subwoofer's RMS. The amplifier producing much less power than it should could be clipping the subwoofer, but also check if it's producing more power than the subwoofer can handle. More RMS power from the amplifier gradually heats up the voice coil and may burn it out. A solution to this is getting a condenser that's used to steady the power and transmit it out in stable currents.
A loose connection may also exist in the wire connections to the amplifier, voice coil or in the subwoofer itself. Carefully check all these wires and ensure that none of them are loose or melted away. Wires connecting the speaker cones and voice coils should also be checked and tightened.

Preparing multiple onpload databases
Each database server can have only one active onpload database. In most cases, you can use the default onpload database, which is named onpload. If you choose to prepare multiple databases to hold different types of control information, you must set the DBONPLOAD environment variable before you can run a load or unload.
To prepare multiple onpload databases with ipload:
 1. Set the DBONPLOAD environment variable to the name of the alternative onpload database.
 2. Restart ipload.
 3. Use ipload to prepare the alternative database.
During load and unload jobs, the ipload, onpload, and onpladm utilities use the value of the DBONPLOAD environment variable that is set in the client environment, regardless of whether the DBONPLOAD environment variable is set on the server. The ipload, onpload, and onpladm utilities use the value of the DBONPLOAD environment variable that is set on the server only if the DBONPLOAD environment variable is not set in the client environment.

Ruby Question
what is the difference between single quote ( ' ) and double quote ( " ) in cocoapod?
As i am very familiar with
Cocoapod
library to integrate 3rd party
iOS
library in our project with very easy steps and versioning also in managed way and very easy to upgrade version of any 3rd party library.
Generally we are using below
command
for any 3rd party library in
POD
file to get in our project.
POD '<Library Name>'
One more we are using was
POD "<Library Name>"
so may i know what is the logical difference between both of this command ?
Answer
Single quotes are used for just strings.
Where as Double quotes are used for both strings and string interpolation.
Example:
name = 'User Name' //User Name
welcome_note_using_sigle_qoute = 'Welcome #{name}' //Welcome /#{name}
welcome_note_using_double_qoute = "Welcome #{name}" //Welcome User Name


How a sensory garden can improve your wellbeing
Thursday, 18th June 2020, 9:00 am
Updated Thursday, 18th June 2020, 9:01 am
Sensory gardens are great for helping to reduce anxiety and stress, providing a natural retreat to relax in and offering us a place that encourages wellbeing and mindfulness, writes Sara Milne.
A sensory garden is really just a collection of plants and materials with different textures, shapes, colours, scents and heights that are laid out in such a way to stimulate our senses through smell, sound, touch, taste and sight.
Adding visual interest to a garden can be easily achieved by being clever and selective with your planting.
Use flowering perennials, layer plants at different heights, use screens or hedges to form backdrops and plant rows of the same species to elongate areas.
You can also make sure your planting has the desired effect by using colour to provide focal points and ambience.
For stimulating, invigorating areas use hot, vibrant colours - reds, pinks and yellows.
Think sunflower, echinacea, marigold, salvia, dahlia even ornamental vegetables such as swiss chard with its multi-coloured stems and leaves.
For a more gentle, calm effect use cool, relaxing colours such as whites, blues and greens.
Lavender, foxglove, hydrangea, delphinium and climbers that also provide height such as jasmine and honeysuckle.
Plants and trees that change colour through the seasons also provide interest with blossoms and berries and leaves that turn to shades of gold, red and brown in the autumn.
Changes in colour and appearance of materials like paved and pebble pathways when they get wet also add colour and visual appeal.
Shapes are also important in a sensory garden, so try using materials like crazy paving and rough-cut flagstones.
You can also create interesting routes and pathways through the garden to promote a sense of discovery and orientation.
Movement catches the eye, so think about trees that wave in the wind such as willow or grasses that sway in the breeze.
Water features provide wonderful focal points and also attract wildlife.
Make sure you have a variety of plants that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies as well, lovely to watch of a summer's afternoon.
Our general wellbeing is intrinsically linked to the natural world which is why Thrive - the gardening for health charity - has developed the Thrive Gardening Club.

Crossing borders, be it international or regional, often go together with price, wage or indeed wealth discontinuities. This paper identifies substantial wealth differences between Luxembourg resident households and cross-border commuter households despite their similar incomes. The average (median) net wealth difference is estimated to be €367,000 (€129,000) and increases for higher percentiles. Using several different regression and decomposition techniques, spatial (regional) differences in real estate price developments, and thus differences in accumulated nominal capital gains are shown to be one main driving factor for these wealth differences. Other factors contributing to the observed wealth differences are differences in age, income, education and other household characteristics.

Tip of the Day : SQL Server Tutorial - INSERT Statement 101
Error Messages
Home > SQL Server Error Messages > Msg 420 - The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be used in an ORDER BY clause.
SQL Server Error Messages - Msg 420 - The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be used in an ORDER BY clause.
Error Message
Server: Msg 420, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be used
in an ORDER BY clause.
Causes:
As the error message suggests, you cannot use a column of text, ntext or image data type as part of the ORDER BY clause in a SELECT statement.
To illustrate, let's assume that you have the following table in your database:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Notes] (
[NotesID] INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),
[NotesOwner] VARCHAR(20),
[NotesText] TEXT )
You want to get all the records from the [dbo].[Notes] table but instead of sorted by the notes ID (NotesID) or notes owner (NotesOwner), you want the result be sorted by the notes text (NotesText).
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Notes]
ORDER BY [NotesText]
Issuing this SELECT statement will generate the following error message:
Server: Msg 420, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be used in an ORDER BY clause.
Solution / Work Around:
One way to work around this limitation is to CAST or CONVERT the TEXT/NTEXT data type column into either VARCHAR or NVARCHAR data type.
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Notes]
ORDER BY CAST([NotesText] AS VARCHAR(8000))
If the column is of NTEXT data type, you can CAST it to NVARCHAR, but with only a length of 4000 since this is the maximum length allowed by a NVARCHAR data type:
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Notes]
ORDER BY CAST([NotesText] AS NVARCHAR(4000))

What's the Difference Between Sanding Screen and Sandpaper?
Sanding screen and sandpaper
Are you wondering about the differences between sanding screen and sandpaper? Have you been trying to decide which you should use on your next project? In this article, I'll share everything you need to know about these two sanding products.
Most people use sanding screens for rough shaping and sandpaper for finish work. However, this is just a general principle. Sandpaper and sanding screens have some overlap in the jobs they can perform.
Below, we explain the main differences between sanding screens and sandpaper.
Let's jump in!
Differences Between Sanding Screens and Sandpaper
To start, here's a rapid-fire list of the main differences between sandpaper and sanding screens.
In the sections below, we will explore each in more depth.
Some of the differences between sanding screens and sandpaper:
 - Sanding screens allow dust to pass through
 - Sanding screens are more durable
 - Sandpaper is for finish sanding
 - Sanding screens are for demolition sanding
 - Sanding screens are often used for drywall and flooring
 - Sandpaper is often used for furniture as it is more pliable
Okay, now that we've got a few of the basics covered. Let's explore each of these in more depth
What is a Sanding Screen?
A sanding screen is exactly what it sounds like, a screen used for sanding. The screen is made of a mixture of silicone and resin. This combination creates a durable product.
The sanding screen works like sandpaper, smoothing a rough surface. What's the advantage of sanding screens? There are two main things.
First, sanding screens are durable. This durability allows you to use sanding screens on rough walls or floors.
Second, the screen of the sandpaper allows the dust to pass through, preventing dust build-up. The clearing effect of the screens increases the efficiency and lifespan of the sanding screen.
When Should I Use a Sanding Screen?
The sanding screen is a useful product, but is it good for everything? Below, we list some of the best times to use a sanding screen (and when to avoid it).
Here are some of the best times to use a sanding screen instead of sandpaper:
 - Large projects: when you've got a lot of work to get done, the sanding screen is there to help. The durability and dust clearing capabilities of the sanding screen make it a great choice for large projects
 - Rough projects: if you're sanding down some rough drywall, or preparing an old floor for new tile, then the sanding screen can help.
Now, let's discuss some times to avoid the sanding screen:
 - Small, finish work: if you're trying to sand your kitchen table to a mirror shine, then traditional sandpaper will likely be the way to go.
 - Sanding rounded edges: for rounded edges, look into using a sanding sponge or regular sandpaper. Silicone carbine sanding screens are geared toward removing rough material.
 - Using them by hand: Since sanding screens are abrasive on both sides, they aren't ideal for sanding by hand. Attaching the sanding screen to a sanding handle or a power sander will yield the best results. If you need to sand something by hand, consider regular sandpaper.
Benefits of Sanding Screens
We touched on the benefits of sanding screens a little bit; however, let's cover a more inclusive list. Sanding screens have several benefits over regular sandpaper.
Here are a few:
 - Clog resistant
 - Durable
 - Double-sided
Let's look at these benefits in more depth.
Sanding Screens are Clog Resistant
When you're sanding a large surface, like drywall, you end up with a lot of dust and debris. Regular sandpaper manufacturers have made strides towards developing clog-resistant sandpaper. While these sandpaper advances have helped, it's still relatively easy to clog up normal sandpaper.
The sanding screen does a better job with high volume work. The screen portion of these sanders allows dust and debris to pass right through the sander.
While you'll still need to clear sanding screens, it's as simple as tapping them on the floor and getting back to work.
Sanding Screens are Durable
Regular sandpaper is prone to ripping, especially with rough work. Sanding screens are made from durable materials that resist tearing.
The durability of sanding screens makes them ideal for uneven surfaces, where you're sanding down some jagged bumps.
Sanding Screens are Double-Sided
Once you've worn down one side, flip the sanding screen over and get back to work. Regular sandpaper typically only has a single abrasive side. Once you've used it up, it's done.
How Long do Sanding Screens Last?
It's impossible to say how long your sanding screens will last. It all depends on how much you're using the sanding screen and if you're using the sanding screen properly.
Also, there are several ways you can restore both sandpaper and sanding screens. If you take the time to learn a few techniques to care for your sanding screen and sandpaper, you will get the most life out of your product.
Here are some ways to extend the life of your sandpaper and sanding screens:
 - Clean them: grab an abrasive sandpaper cleaner and use it to remove the gunk that builds up on your sandpaper.
 - Don't overuse: if you try to push sandpaper or sanding screens past what they can handle, you risk overheating (burns!) your project, leaving scratches, and tiring yourself out.
 - Don't use too much pressure: this goes along with overuse. Using too much pressure will cause more gunk to roll up under your sander.
 - You can use both sides: sanding screens are usually abrasive on both sides. Frequently switch the side you're using. Take time to clean the sanding screen intermittently.
How to Use a Sanding Screen
Using a sanding screen is not much different from using regular sandpaper. However, sanding is more difficult than many people anticipate. So, it's important to avoid overlooking critical steps.
Here are some guidelines to follow when using a sanding screen:
 1. Safety and dust control
 2. Clear large chunks with a scraper
 3. Start with low grits
 4. Use a steady pressure
 5. Mark your area
 6. Consider finishing with regular sandpaper
Let's look at these steps in more depth.
Safety and Dust Control for Sanding Screen
Before you begin sanding, always consider the safety risks. Wear safety goggles to protect from flying debris – this is especially true with power sanders. The minute you get something caught in your eye, you'll wish you had worn safety glasses.
Second, wear a mask, preferably one that seals your mouth and nose from dust. If you do a lot of sanding, the cumulative effects of inhaling dust can take a toll over the years.
Finally, try to set up a systematic dust removal process. If you can attach a vacuum directly to the sander, then you're doing great. At the bare minimum, have a box fan in the room sucking out the dust. (Also, you can look into wet sanding to reduce dust).
Clear Large Chunks with a Scraper
While sanding screens can remove substantial material, you still want your surface relatively smooth to begin with. If there are a bunch of bumps and chunks that you can safely remove with a scraper, you should get rid of them before sanding.
Though you could try to smooth out large chunks with a sanding screen, it will delay the project and increase erosion on your screen.
Start with Low Grits and Work your Way Up
If you start with a 40-grit sanding screen, you'll be able to knock down a lot more of those imperfections relatively quickly. However, you don't always want to start with an especially low grit.
Here's why.
Some surfaces, particularly drywall, could be susceptible to damage with low grits. Some people have reported deep gouges being caused by their sanding screens. (This may not be an issue for all situations).
It's worth trying out the sanding screen grit in an inconspicuous area before you use it on the whole surface.
Use Steady Pressure
Applying too much pressure to your sandpaper can damage a delicate surface. You want to apply some pressure to the sander; just enough to keep it on the path.
Just like when you use a saw, let the sanding screen do the work.
Mark Your Sanding Area
Don't accidentally sand an area that doesn't need to be sanded. Use tape, blankets, whatever you can to prevent damage to objects around you.
It's easy to start sanding and forget about everything. But, before you know it, you'll have sanded down a corner or scratched a smooth surface that didn't need to be sanded.
Finish Things Off With Regular Sandpaper or Sanding Sponge
Once you've used the sanding screen to knock down all the rough work, bring in the sanding sponge or sandpaper to make

Origin Energy were preparing for the listing for sale of the entity, Lattice Energy, to the open market. They required high-performance low-latency Cloud VM infrastructure and Cloud Storage to support their critical and performance demanding Geosciences applications and data sets.
- The first requirement was to rehost the Geosciences platforms, so that Lattice Energy could run the system in an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Storage as a Service (STaaS) environment.
- Then to provide high speed, low latency connectivity with redundancy, between the Digital Sense Kenmore Data Centre and Lattice offices in Milton, Qld.
- Leverage advanced VMware NSX routing and firewall capabilities within the Digital Sense Public Cloud to meet complex networking and strict security requirements.
- Provide professional ongoing support services to Lattice Energy.
Origin Energy faced many challenges that were addressed as key outcomes:
- Origin Energy were unfamiliar with a Hybrid Cloud environment and the extra layer of complexity introduced by this integration of physical and virtual environment was a new challenge to the IT team.
- The detailed routing and security firewalls required to connect and isolate multiple disparate networks, including several private cloud connections.
- An IaaS environment hadn't been in operation at Origin before, and this was the first move into Cloud for these challenging workloads.
- A parallel connection to AWS was needed for the backup and disaster recovery.
- Multiple suppliers were involved, and Digital Sense had to liaise with Telstra to ensure an integrated network connection.

Dictionary.com Word FAQs
What is the difference between rack, wrack, wreak, and wreck?
To wreak is to inflict vengeance; to wreck is to damage or destroy. Wreak is not found often in English except in the idiom wreak havoc. Wrack as a verb is obsolete but means 'to avenge or revenge; to punish', 'to undergo ruin'. Rack as a verb is used figuratively to mean 'to chalk up; to achieve' and 'to torture; to cause severe pain' (as in the rack as an instrument of torture). It is also used to mean 'to obtain through coercion or intimidation'. Examples: She racked up points in the pool game. Pain racked his body. He racked his brain for the answer. Wrack as a noun means 'destruction' and occurs mainly in wrack and ruin. The word rack is a variant and can be used in that phrase.

This Article is up to date with Custom Stuff 2 CS2
This attribute defines the harvest level of the item. It works together with toolClass. For example, if toolClass is set to pickaxe and harvestLevel set to 2, the item can harvest all blocks registered with toolClass pickaxe and harvestLevel less than, or equal to, 2. Blocks that can be harvest this way are automatically affected by the efficiency of the item.
0 Wood
1 Stone / Gold
2 Iron
3 Diamond
On the item side of things, this attribute is used on tools to signify which material the item is made of, or similar to in function. For example, if you were to create a pickaxe made of emerald, which is effectively the same as diamond in terms of mining power, you would set this attribute to "3", which would allow it to harvest obsidian.
By default, both blocks and items have a harvestLevel of 0, which is the being punched by hand. To change this, add the following line to the appropriate .js file.
Item:
harvestLevel = 1; // Harvesting power similar to wood.
Block:
harvestLevel[0] = 2; // Requires iron or better to be harvested.
CS1
Older Examples and Information for Custom Stuff 1.
Harvestlevel is a new attribute for both blocks and items introduced in Custom Stuff 2.3.0. It serves basically the same purpose on both blocks and items, albeit from opposite sides of the equation.
As a block attribute, harvest level determines which materials can properly harvest the block. Attempting to break a block with a tool below its harvestlevel will make it break slowly, as though not using a tool at all, and won't yield any drops. Important Note: Harvestlevel is only respected when the block's material is set to either 'rock' or 'iron'. For all other materials, the block will be able to be harvested by hand and broken efficiently with any tool referenced in its toolclass.
The line that you must add to your .block or .item file is as follows:
harvestlevel=0;
Replace "0" with one of the values of the table at right, based on the material you want your custom creation to be harvested by or to mimic.

text: Paper by Anna Boldina, Paul H. P. Hanel & Koen Steemers: "Inactivity is one of the major health risks in technologically developed countries. This paper explores the potential of a series of urban landscape interventions to engage people in physical activity. Online surveys were conducted with 595 participants living in the UK by inviting them to choose between conventional pavement or challenging routes (steppingstones, balancing beams, and high steps) using photorealistic images. Across four experiments, we discovered that 80% of walkers claim they would pick a challenging route in at least one of the scenarios, depending on perceived level of difficulty and design characteristics. Where a challenging option was shorter than a conventional route, this increased the likelihood of being chosen by 10%, and the presence of handrails by 12%. This suggests that people can get nudged into physical activities through minor changes to the urban landscape. We discuss implications for policy makers and urban designers…(More)".


Sorry, Darling, how much child benefit data is missing?
UK chancellor Alistair Darling recently admitted that discs containing personal details of families claiming child benefit had been lost
How much information can be in each record if there are 25m child benefit records on two CDs? David Baxter
A standard CD-R will hold 703MB of data -- about 737m characters -- so two discs will hold 1.474bn. That would only be 59 characters per record. However, it seems there are only 7.25m records, each record being a family with one or more children. That would provide 203 characters of data per family, which is enough to include names and dates of birth, an address and bank details.
The simplest way to put a single database on to two CDs is to zip it using an archiving program such as WinZip. This would allow password protection, and would also compress the data. Text can easily be compressed into less than half the space, allowing more data to be stored on the discs. In this case, it could provide from 300 to 400 characters per family.
And remember, with coding, many data fields take up very little space. Country of birth, for example, only needs two characters.

Objective: This study extends previous research by exploring the association between mood states (i.e., positive and negative affect) and fixation in practicing anesthetists using a realistic medical simulation. Background: The impact of practitioner emotional states on fixation is a neglected area of research. Emerging evidence is demonstrating the role of positive affect in facilitating problem solving and innovation, with demonstrated implications for practitioner fixation. Method: Twelve practicing anesthetists (4 females; Mage= 39 years; SD = 6.71) were involved in a medical simulation. Prior to the simulation, practitioners rated the frequency they had experienced various positive and negative emotions in the previous three days. During the simulation, the patient deteriorated rapidly, and anesthetists were observed for their degree of fixation. After the simulation, practitioners indicated the frequency of these same emotions during the simulation. Results: Nonparametric correlations were used to explore the independent relationships between positive and negative affect and the behavioral measures. Only positive affect impacted the likelihood of fixation. Anesthetists who reported more frequent recent positive affect in the three days prior to the simulation and during the simulation tended to be less fixated as judged by independent raters, identified a decline in patient oxygen saturation more quickly, and more rapidly implemented the necessary intervention (surgical cricothyroidotomy). Conclusion: These findings have some real-world implications for positive affect in patient safety. Application: This research has broad implications for professions where fixation may impair practice. This research suggests that professional training should teach practitioners to identify their emotions and understand the role of these emotions in fixation.

Understanding the Light Field viewing volume, it's practical applications in VR and how viewers interact with it are core challenges at Lytro. It forced us to think in new ways and find solutions that work in conjunction with the broader ecosystem of post-production tools and storytelling conventions.
In a previous blog post we talked about the concept of the Light Field volume.
We often refered to this Light Field volume as a sphere that surrounds the viewer's head. In this blog post we'll explore the various considerations that come into play when shaping the view volume and how it affects the resulting user experience.
First, let's understand what is the "natural" shape of the view volume. The view volume's shape depends on the shape of the device that captured the footage/rays of light. For example, if you have a perfect dense sphere of cameras, the view volume would also look like a smaller sphere in the center of the capture sphere. How much smaller? That depends on the field of view of the lenses involved. For example, with 90 degrees lenses, the view volume of a capture sphere would look like this:
Cross section of a capture sphere (in gray) surrounded by cameras with 90 degrees lenses,
forming a smaller view volume (in orange) in the same shape as the capture sphere.
If you have a planar capture configuration, the view volume shape starts being less well defined. The resulting view volume shape is a collection of overlapping triangles that form some sort of a star configuration (exact shape is determined by the rotation steps and field of view of the lenses).
Why does the shape matter?
The shape of the viewing volume matters due to several important considerations:
- It defines the range of motion (space) the viewer would eventually have
- It defines the continuity of motion inside of the view volume
- It affects the production cost
- It affects the creative choices and data size of the final output
1. Range of Motion
Range of motion is simply the volume of space that is available for the viewer to move in. The larger the volume, the more the viewer's head can travel within the Light Field, the more parallax is available, the more details that can be discovered (revealing occluded information). All things being equal, most content creators would always prefer to have as large of a volume as possible – bigger is better!
The balance to volume size is data size. As described in the "Outward vs. Inward Capture" blog post, the data size in a volume grows to the power of 3 and that quickly gets very large. Depending on the use-case, and method of delivery, this can become unwieldy and defeats the purpose of a great viewer experience.
2. Continuity of Motion
The continuity of motion consideration within a viewing volume has to do with the geometrical shape of that volume and how the player application handles "Out of Bound" (OOB) scenario. When the viewer find him/herself in a partially samples point of the Light Field, unpredictable results might occur. The required rays of light might be available or not. The resulting distortions or artifacts might be noticeable, or not. The player might be able to reproject other rays of light into the missing pieces, or not – it's simply not predictable and therefore we always try to avoid it.
As an example of discontinuity within a Light Field, let's imagine shape with a missing triangle (represented by red lines below). Since the viewer can freely move their head in real-world coordinates, they can easily find themselves in a zone of discontinuity where the Light Field is not fully sampled.
Viewer moving their head from point A to point B in a curve find themselves
inadvertently outside (highlighted in red) of the viewing volume (orange).
3. Production Cost
As stated before, the larger the volume, the more data you need to manage from capture to post-production all the way to final delivery. Due to current technological/IT constraints (storage, data throughout, backups, etc.), cost is often influenced by data size and content producers have to ask themselves – is that enough volume or possibly too much?
For post-production, the more data you manage, the more touchups and cleanups you have to evaluate and that can quickly add-up. When performing post-production operations on a volume of space, you have to constantly deal with visual information that not only changes over time (temporally) but also based on spatial point of view (result of parallax). An actor's feet that seem invisible from one angle can suddenly pop into frame from another angle and require some adjustment. An actor's face that is perfectly lit from the front might be underexposed from the side or might reveal the cable of the spot-mic.
Storage and rendering costs can also grow in the same direction. There are many techniques and best practices for mitigating cost increases but the general rule is: more volume = more cost. The Light Field volume captured by Lytro Immerge is carefully selected to strike a balance between view volume and overall production cost.
4. Final Output
Most importantly, the shape of the viewing volume has a direct impact on artistic choices and storytelling. Assuming that content creators are trying to balance all of these considerations and produce the best VR experience for their project, shaping this viewing volume becomes a critical creative choice. For example, imagine a performer in a corner of a room. The room is providing critical atmosphere for the performance but the viewer is expected to spend 90% of their time looking at the performer. Investing production cost and data size in enabling range of motion for viewing the room might be a misguided choice vs. enabling greater range of motion near the performer – getting closer, looking from the sides or from above…
Another example is practical set. A director might choose to give a nice range of motion for the audience in front of a stage but trim that motion on the edges, just before the set ends and the back-stage starts becoming visible. Or the opposite, expose a surprise if the viewer is looking at the back-stage.
Content creators have to balance many considerations and find the right solution for each situation/need. It is recommended to think about the most demanding situation that you have (the largest viewing volume that you think you need) make that into your "master volume" and customize multiple viewing volumes as a subsets, each addressing a different need. The largest viewing volume could be for an in-venue experience (where file size is not an issue). A slightly trimmed down version for a large download and a small viewing volume for a smaller download version.
To address all of the considerations and challenges mentioned above, Lytro has been developing a wide range of solutions, including:
- Plugins that extend the capabilities of existing post-production tools to accommodate Light Field and three dimensional points of view
- Cloud processing infrastructure that can help optimize time and cost
- Quality control tools for tracking every ray of light, where it originated from and how it affects the viewer's experience
- Tools for tracking the range of motion viewers require while viewing different VR pieces so the viewing volume can be optimized
As it pertains to tracking viewers motion in headset, we are also interested in different viewing experiences from seated positions to standing in place or walking around a large, room-scale, Light Field. The goal is to develop tools and best practices that help guide content creators in the pursuit of the optimal Light Field viewing volume for each piece of content and use.

Data is represented as a heat map where red = frequent and green = less frequent visit
For live action Light Field content, we think of a sphere as that natural shape that we need to capture. Once obtained, we treat this large sphere-shaped view volume as the ultimate "master" and all optimizations are a subset of that master, chosen based on creative choices, production cost and delivery needs.
Various shapes of viewing volume around a viewer's head. The larger gray sphere represents the "master" view volume and the orange shape is the optimized view volume. Each piece of content might benefit from multiple different shapes to meet different objectives.
In developing Light Field solutions, we often find ourselves looking to solve challenges in an uncharted territory. We are constantly iterating and experimenting with different view volume shapes, sizes and characteristics. In our persistence, we strive to give content creators the widest set of creative tools and choices with which to tell their stories, and look forward to seeing how they will put it all to great use.
