FAQs
What is the lifespan of Coppercoat?
The life of Coppercoat depends on a variety of factors such as water temperature and salinity. However, typically in Northern Europe one should expect effective performance for at least 10 years, whereas in the Caribbean, 8 to 10 years would be more normal. Many of the first boats treated in 1991 are still performing well after more than 20 years! With an average thickness of 250 microns of Coppercoat being applied in a treatment, and a typical corrosion rate of less than 5 microns per year, it is easy to appreciate how this coating offers such long lasting and effective protection.

Is Coppercoat expensive when compared to traditional anti-fouls?
No! Applying Coppercoat is possibly the most cost-effective way to protect a submersed surface from marine growth. Over the treatments typical life of 10 years, the cost in product terms alone, will commonly be only 15 to 30% of the product cost associated with conventional single-season anti-fouls (depending on which brand you use). This does not take into account additional items such as lift costs, storage fees, labour, inflation, etc. which make a Coppercoat treatment even more financially attractive (why pay to have your boat ashore every year if you don't need to?). When compared to using a standard anti-foul paint, customers with a Coppercoat-treated boat will typically break even in year 2 and then enjoy many years of free anti-fouling protection.

How does Coppercoat work?
Coppercoat is the combination of a specially developed two-pack epoxy resin and 99% pure copper. Each litre of Coppercoat contains 2kg of ultra fine copper powder, the maximum allowed by law. On immersion, sea water attacks the exposed pure copper, causing the formation of cuprous oxide. This highly effective anti-fouling agent deters growth until the surface degrades further to become cupric hydrochloride. This final copper form is highly unstable, and is washed away by the movement of the yacht, thereby removing any accumulating silt or slime. This automatically reveals a fresh copper-rich surface whereby the process recommences.

Can Coppercoat be applied to all types of boats?
Yes. Coppercoat can be successfully applied to virtually all craft, irrespective of their size and usage, hence is sold to both the commercial and leisure sectors. Coppercoat is also supplied to underwater structures such as tide-powered turbines and effluent diffusers as well as bar screens in power stations.

How is Coppercoat applied and what tools are required?
A complete treatment is achieved in a minimum of 4 thin coats (ideally 5) which must be applied, wet-on-tacky, all in one day.
Specifically designed to be user friendly, this water based and VOC-free coating should be mixed thoroughly, one unit at a time, and simply applied to the prepared surface by roller or spray. For application by roller, short pile (simulated mohair) sleeves should be used, although some high quality foam rollers are also suitable. The recommended rollers are available from AMC Ltd.
For application by spray a conventional air-fed (not airless) system should be used. A complete treatment is usually achieved within four or five thin coats, which must be applied 'wet on tacky' all on the same day. For full details please visit the application section of the website (Application).

Does Coppercoat cause any problems with regards to electrolytic/galvanic action?
No. With the resin carrier insulating each copper particle, the final coating is inert and non-conductive. A current can not pass through Coppercoat and this coating does not cause or promote electrolysis or cathodic decay. Consequently Coppercoat can be safely applied to metal structures such as iron keels and steel or aluminium craft (after the application of an appropriate epoxy primer). The property of electrical non-conduction in metallic powders including copper was first discovered in 1890 by Eduard Branley and is known as the "Branley Effect". Sacrificial anodes should be fitted in the usual manner.

Can Coppercoat be applied safely to boats with outboard motors or stern-drives?
Yes. Applying Coppercoat to the hull of a boat will have no effect to an outboard motor or stern-drive. As mentioned in the answer to the previous question Coppercoat does not cause or promote galvanic corrosion.

What color is Coppercoat?
Freshly applied Coppercoat dries to a rich copper brown. After immersion Coppercoat oxidises to a dark, verdigris green colour. This colour change commonly takes several months, depending on water conditions. Because of the sheer quantity of pure copper in Coppercoat, it is simply not possible to produce the coating in any other colours.

Does Coppercoat protect against Osmosis?
The inherent waterproofing qualities of the epoxy ensure that a treatment of Coppercoat will help prevent osmosis in GRP craft and offer extra protection against corrosion in steel vessels. However for an even greater degree of protection, additional anti-osmosis epoxy can be applied as an undercoat.

Can Coppercoat be applied on top of epoxy barrier coatings?
Coppercoat is the toughest and most abrasion resistant anti-foul available (as demonstrated by the TABAR abraser test) and therefore is extremely durable. However, in the event that the coating is damaged or scratched it can be simply touched-up by rubbing back the surrounding areas and applying a new full treatment of Coppercoat to these small patches.

How do I repair a damaged hull treated with Coppercoat?
Coppercoat is the toughest and most abrasion resistant anti-foul available (as demonstrated by the TABAR abraser test) and therefore is extremely durable. However, in the event that the coating is damaged or scratched it can be simply touched-up by rubbing back the surrounding areas and applying a new full treatment of Coppercoat to these small patches.

How long does Coppercoat take to apply?
A treatment of Coppercoat must be applied all on one day, with the multiple coats being applied wet on tacky.

What maintenance is necessary?
Correctly applied Coppercoat will continue to deter marine fouling for many years. The annual chore of repainting associated with conventional anti-foulings is no longer necessary. If, over the months, a slight accumulation of slime does appear, this can be removed by pressure washing or brushing. An annual wash or brush is recommended. Eventually, usually after several years, the surface may benefit from being lightly abraded with a fine grade of "wet and dry" paper or a burnishing pad to expose fresh copper.

Is any special care needed when lifting a Coppercoat-treated boat?
No. Unlike most other anti-fouls Coppercoat is a permanent, highly abrasion resistant coating and therefore merely lifting will not cause any damage to the coating.

Is Coppercoat suitable for use on a racing yacht?
Yes. As Coppercoat is a blend of pure copper and two-pack epoxy resin, the coating is both strong and water-proof. After application the coating can be burnished to give a very smooth racing finish, which (as the coating is non-absorbent) is the equivalent of dry-sailing a boat but with the advantage of anti-fouling protection allowing the boat to be kept afloat.

Will the smooth Coppercoat surface make my boat go faster?
Yes. The smooth surface provided by Coppercoat epoxy anti-foul helps any boat to perform to its' full potential. While traditional anti-fouls absorb moisture and become rough over time, Coppercoat retains its' impermeable and smooth surface. In fact, many owners experience an increase in speed after applying Coppercoat.

Is Coppercoat suitable for trailer sailors/lifting keels and dry moorings?
Yes. Coppercoat is a permanent epoxy coating and therefore unlike traditional anti-fouls, is not affected by drying out. Coppercoat is the perfect choice for dry moorings and trailered boats as it is highly abrasion resistant.

How environmentally friendly is Coppercoat?
Classified as non-leaching, this highly effective coating is considerably kinder to the environment than conventional self-eroding anti-fouls. The complete treatment has been tested and approved by the Health and Safety Executive, in compliance with UK and EU law. Holding HSE Certificate Number 7532 Coppercoat is fully approved for use by both professional tradesmen and the general public. Coppercoat is tin-free and fully complies with current (2001) International Maritime Organisation (IMO) resolution MEPC.102(48). Within the UK Coppercoat is used by the Environment Agency.

Is Coppercoat unique?
Launched over 20 years ago, Coppercoat is the original long-life copper rich epoxy anti-foul. As with most successful products, lesser imitations have appeared in the intervening period. Inspite of bold claims, products such as Cupro FF, CopperGuard, Cu17, Halcyon 5000, Copperbot 2000, Cop-R-poxy (to name but a few) have all failed and been discontinued. Coppercoat is unique, having been continually available since 1991 and is the only coating to have a well proven (not theoretical!) lifespan of 10 years plus. This helps to explain why over 30,000 customers in more than 40 countries currently use Coppercoat.

Where/how can I purchase Coppercoat?
Coppercoat is manufactured in Dorset, UK and is imported to Australia and distributed by ABS Technologies - Marine (_URL_). To discuss or place an order please contact us or alternatively you can call us on (08)8398

What are the different types of Wonkee Donkee Trend router bit?
 buy bits for woodworking
There are many different types of router bit or cutter. They can usually be classed as follows:
Groove-forming router cutters
 Examples of groove bits of different shapes for creating various groove forms in timber
Groove-forming cutters are designed to produce grooves in the surface of materials.
They do not usually have a pin or ball-bearing guide, and may require the use of a side fence, guide bush, or another method for guiding the router. A guide allows them to rout along the edge of materials as well in the surface.
 A close up of a bottom cut groove bit in a routing machine
Many groove-forming cutters have the bottom cut facility, and so can be used in a plunge router to cut into the surface of materials, rather than having to cut from the edge. bits without the bottom cut facility need to have an edge from which to start cutting. For more information, see: What are the parts of a Trend router cutter?
 A selection of straight groove-forming router bits for woodwork
Straight groove-forming router cutters
These bits have straight flutes and so produce straight-sided, flat-bottomed grooves in materials.
Examples include single and twin flute straight cutters, mortisers and pocket cutters.
 A selection of shaped groove-forming router bits
Shaped groove-forming router cutters
Shaped groove-forming router bits are usually two fluted and are typically used for decorative moulding or jointing applications. There is a huge range of different shape options for these bits for an array of groove profile shapes.
 Diagram showing that one shaped bit can create different profiles on a wooden edge depending on the height at which it is used
By changing the height of these router bits, or by altering the table fence or side fence position, different profiles can be produced using the same cutter. This can mean grooves of different sizes can be routed, and some cutters are designed so they will produce different shapes of grooves when they are altered.
Self-guided router cutters
 Examples of self-guided router bits in a selection of shapes
These cutters have a pin or ball bearing guide located either on the shank or below the cutting edges and are primarily designed for edge-forming applications.
They do not usually require a side fence or other external method of guiding, as their pin or bearing follows the edge of the workpiece or a template fitted above or beneath it. The width of the cut is controlled by the edge of the pin or bearing running along the workpiece.
 A wooden tabletop with an edge created by a router bit
Self-guided router bits can be used on workpieces with straight or curved edges, (for example, rectangular or circular tables,) and can be used for trimming, moulding, or rebating applications.
 Different sizes of bearing guide found on routing bits
With bearing guided versions, the bearing can usually be removed and replaced for a smaller or larger diameter one, in order to produce a differently shaped or sized cut.
 Examples of straight router bit that have bearing guides
Straight self-guided router cutters
Also called trimming and profiling cutters, these have straight flutes and are typically used on multi-layered materials, to trim one or more of the layers flush with one another.Accessories for woodworking with power tools
 Examples of shaped router bits that have bearing guides
Shaped self-guided router cutters
These are similar to shaped groove-forming cutters but with a pin guide or guide bearing located on their shank, or below their cutting edges. They are available in an array of designs for different tasks.
 Image showing that the location of the guide on a router bit has an effect on the way it is used
Shaped self-guided cutters with a shank-mounted guide often have the bottom cut facility, allowing them to plunge into the surface of materials like groove-forming cutters. Those with a bearing below their cutting edges can only be used to form the edge of materials.
Typical profiles include bevel, radius, dovetail, round over, and rebate cutters.
Joint-making router cutters (can be guided or non-guided)
 joint-making bits (Pilot and non-pilot bits) for woodworking
Examples include:
 joint making bit pair with mating sections and an example of the woodworking joint
Joint-making bits sometimes come as a pair that will cut two mating sections (two parts that fit together) in materials. These sections are then fitted together to form a joint. Some joint-making bits come with a guide pin or bearing attached. These are known as pilot bits and can be used to cut along the edge of materials. Other joint-making bits do not come with a guide. These are known as non-pilot bits and can be used to cut across the surface of a material.
Slotting and grooving router cutters
 A grooving routing bit with shims and spacers
Slotting and grooving cutters, also called arbor-mounted router bits, consist of single or multiple slotting groovers, or profile blocks, assembled on an arbor, using spacers, shims, and ball-bearing guides to adjust their proximity and depth of cut.
 Diagram showing how a grooving bit can be used to cut either a tongue or a groove on the edge of a piece of flooring
This form of cutter offers a high degree of versatility, as the basic components can be mounted in different combinations, using the shims, washers and spacers to vary their spacing.
Replaceable tip router cutters
 A replaceable tip bit and a selection of attachable blades
Replaceable tip router cutters are comprised of a solid tungsten carbide blade held by retaining screws to a ground steel body.
When dull, the blade can be rotated to expose up to three more cutting edges. Buy routing accessories from wonkee donkee

Unfortunately, as data links on corporate networks have increased to saturation, more information is being missed and even though corporations have spent heavily acquiring loud, power hungry devices to monitor their networks. A more power efficient solution, which consumes less electricity, yet provides the same or better packet inspection is an obvious solution.. This paper discusses a possible solution using a cluster of Raspberry Pis, a credit card sized computer valued at AUD$40 each. These tiny devices (whilst individually are limited in power and bandwidth) can be clustered together with economic benefits. This multi-GPU environment can inspect more data and therefore log more information for investigators. Overall it offers easier maintenance and therefore can be kept up to date easier. Finally clustering many of these devices may provide corporations with a better understanding as to what is occurring on their networks at a cheaper on-going cost.

Trailside Exhibit Opens in Memory of Orin Covell
Approximately 50 family members and friends gathered together on Friday October 25, for the ribbon cutting ceremony launching a new trailside exhibit at the George Ranch Historical Park. The exhibit is located on the bridge at the midway point of the George Ranch Heritage Trail at a particularly scenic section overlooking Dry Creek.
George Ranch Historical Park Director Candace Jones explained that the project had been in the works for about a year and celebrated Orin's love for sharing the prolific bird life with visitors and friends. The exhibit consists of four panels showcasing original artwork of twenty common birds of the prairies and wetlands. The highly detailed watercolors were done by Austin artist Elishea Smith who specializes in bird images. An all-weather spotting scope is also included for up close viewing of birds and wildlife.
A dedication inscription on the first panel reads "And He will bear you up on eagle's wings…and hold you in the palm of His hand." Bird identification exhibit and spotting scope given in loving remembrance of Orin Covell by his family, friends, and the George Ranch Historical Park.
Director Jones spoke of the generosity of Covell to his community and the great sense of loss felt when he passed away. She mentioned his selfless service given to so many organizations such as the Rotary, the Fire Department, and the Fort Bend County Museum Association.
Covell had served for about ten years as the Administrative Officer for the George Foundation and had officed at the Historical Park for several years. During that time he had enjoyed interacting with visitors and would frequently take them for an impromptu bird watching drive along the creek as a special treat. Jones stated that, "Orin always took the time to make a personal connection with people and he was never too busy to stop and visit. He was very generous and caring and loved sharing information with others." She continued, "I feel that this exhibit will keep that connection alive for future visitors. It's a very personal and lasting tribute that will continue to bring pleasure to many thousands of people."
George Foundation Ranch Operations Manager Rocky Parr remembered the many times that he and Orin had driven along the banks of the creek to take a quick break from the office. Parr said, "Orin was always spotting some new bird and would ask me to take a photo so he could look it up on the computer. I know he would really like this new exhibit."
Covell's wife Becky and his sister Ann Council thanked Jones for her commitment to create the exhibit and expressed their deep appreciation to the George Ranch Historical Park and the other donors who funded the project.
The exhibit was officially opened to coincide with the 30th Anniversary of Texian Market Days on October 26th.

Design of the Medal and Token Commemorating the Construction of the Monument to Nicholas I in Kiev, Kiev Province, 1895
This ink and watercolor document contains designs for the medal and the token issued to commemorate the construction of the monument to Tsar Nicholas I (1796−1855, reigned 1825−55) in Kiev. The designs are by the academician in architecture Vladimir Nikolaev (1847−1911), who also designed the pedestal for the monument. Nikolaev was the municipal and eparchial (diocesan) architect of Kiev at the time and designed many churches and mansions in the city. The statue of Nicholas was by the sculptor Matvei Afanas'evich Chizhov (1838−1916). The monument was erected in University Square and was officially unveiled in August 1896 during a visit to Kiev by Tsar Nicholas II, great-grandson of Nicholas I. The name of Nicholas I traditionally is associated with the opening of the university and the Institute for Noble Girls in Kiev. The monument was demolished in 1920. This document is preserved in the Russian State Historical Archive.

EAccessViolation in function CreateProcess in Delphi 2009
很有趣的，我也遇到了這件事情，明明 CreateProcess 這函式在Delphi 7時就正常，到了Delphi 2009就出怪手了。
原因就是出在Unicode……解法轉貼如下：
The problem is in the lpCommandLine parameter. I suspect you are doing something like this:
var
 CmdLine: string;
...
CmdLine := 'notepad.exe';
CreateProcess(nil, PChar(CmdLine), ...)
This results in an access violation because CmdLine is not writeable memory. The string is a constant string stored in read-only memory.
Instead you can do this:
CmdLine := 'notepad.exe';
UniqueString(CmdLine);
CreateProcess(nil, PChar(CmdLine), ...)
This is enough to make CmdLine be backed by writeable memory.
It is not enough just to make the variable holding the string non-const, you need to make the memory that backs the string writeable too. When you assign a string literal to a string variable, the string variable points at read-only memory.

Brief communication "Calabria daily rainfall from 1970 to 2006"
Other literature type
(issn: _PHONE_, eissn: _PHONE_)
This brief communication introduces a new quality-controlled precipitation
database for Calabria, shows the precipitation trend for the period
considered, and correlates daily rainfall with some common teleconnection
patterns. The database consists of daily accumulated precipitation collected
by 61 rain gauges from 1 January 1970 to 31 December 2006.
The 37-year trend in yearly rainfall shows a decrease of 4.7 mm/y, with a
17% reduction in the yearly mean value.
The correlation of the daily rainfall with large-scale patterns shows that
the Mediterranean Oscillation Index (MOI a/c) is a useful predictor of daily
precipitation over Calabria.

WHAT IS NUNU?
Nunu is an indigenous sacred medicine made from medicinal trees, barks, and leaves from the Amazon Forest. Nunu is also referred to as rape, which is pronounced, "ha-peh" in English. Nunu is primarily made from tobacco but also includes cacao and macambo nut, all of which are ground down into a fine powder. Rape is consumed through bamboo or bone pipes, either from a shaman, or self-administered. The powder is blown into each nostril in a quick motion. This initial intake of the medicine creates a break in thoughts, and feels quite intense, and not very pleasant. After the medicine has been shot into the nostrils it will clear the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual bodies. The powder will move through the body by expelling mucus back out through the nose, or down the back of the throat.
Some people experience nausea or purging with nunu, but this is not always the case. The medicine releases acetylcholine, dopamine, and epinephrine in the brain. It clears bacteria, viruses, and illnesses from the body. It is also said to heal the pituitary gland, and decalcify the pineal gland (although there is no scientific backing for this yet). The pineal gland is responsible for regulating circadian rhythms, the immune system, and melatonin, and is also responsible for neurodegenerative diseases, if it is not cleared of fluoride or toxic buildup.

To display an image in Laravel, you can follow these steps:
 1. Save the image in the public folder of your Laravel project. You can create a folder called 'images' in the public directory and save your images there.
 2. Use the asset() helper function in your blade template to display the image. For example, if you have an image called 'example.jpg' in the public/images folder, you can display it like this:
1

 1. Another way to display an image is by using the URL::asset() method. For example:
1

 1. You can also use the public_path() function to get the path to the public directory and concatenate it with the path to your image. For example:
1

By following these steps, you should be able to display images in your Laravel application easily.

In order to increase the count rate capability of a neutron detection system as a whole, we propose a multi-stage neutron detection system. Experiments to test the effectiveness of this concept were carried out on Fusion Neutronics Source. Comparing four configurations of alignment, it was found that the influence of an anterior stage on a posterior stage was negligible for the pulse height distribution. The two-stage system using 25 mm thickness scintillator was about 1.65 times the count rate capability of a single detector system for d-D neutrons and was about 1.8 times the count rate capability for d-T neutrons. The results suggested that the concept of a multi-stage detection system will work in practice.

Maintenance costs will vary greatly depending on the type
of trail, amount of volunteer labor use, available services, and geographic
location of the trail. These costs, however, must be considered during the
trail planning process, to ensure that trail owners can pay for the ongoing
maintenance of the trails they develop.
Maintenance costs are rarely broken down into specific
tasks such as those listed in Table 7-1. Most trails
will be maintained by an existing agency, such as a local or state park,
public works, or maintenance department. Estimated costs, therefore, are
broken down by the type of maintenance performed. There are three basic types
- Routine maintenance includes all the general activities -- such as brush
clearing, trash collection, and sweeping that may take place on a
regular basis throughout a season.
- Minor Repairs refer to activities that can be expected every five years
or so, such as amenity replacement, trail sealcoating, repainting, or restriping.
- Major Reconstruction refers to significant expenditures involving resurfacing
or reconstruction. These activities are the most costly trail maintenance
activities and should be planned for in advance.
Most of the routine maintenance of a trail facility will
be performed by an existing agency or a volunteer group. Local trail owners
should be well equipped to include trail maintenance into their parks or
public works maintenance budgets and activities. Activities that should be
considered as routine maintenance include:
- Yearly facility evaluation to determine the need for minor
- Tree/brush clearing
- Map/signage updates
- Trash removal/litter clean-up
- Repair flood damage: silt clean-up, culvert clean-out, etc.
- Patching, minor regrading, or concrete panel replacement
- Snow grooming and/or plowing for winter-use trails
- Planting, pruning, and general beautification
- Installation and removal of seasonal signage
The yearly cost for routine maintenance depends on the
maintenance capabilities already in place by the trail owner and the amount
of volunteer labor used. In general, yearly routine maintenance costs can
be estimated at $1,500 per mile. This figure assumes a single season trail,
and may increase if a trail is groomed or plowed for winter use. This cost
is estimated in year 2000 dollars, and will be affected by inflation. For
a discussion on inflation, see Chapter 5: Cost Analysis.
The need for minor repairs should be determined by a yearly
facility evaluation (see routine maintenance above). Minor repairs may include
the following activities:
- Replacement, repair, or repainting of trail support amenities, such as
restrooms, signage, benches, trash receptacles, or hitching posts
- Replacement of a portion of the trail
- Restriping of trails
- Sealcoating of asphalt trails
The cost for replacement, repair, or repainting of trail
amenities is based on the initial cost of those amenities. Trail operators
should maintain records of the general costs of trail amenities as a means
of estimating future repair and replacement costs. If custom elements, such
as lighting, decorative railings, or benches, are used in trail design, the
trail owner should consider ordering extra elements at the time of construction
and storing them for future use, thereby defraying the cost of single-runs
Replacement of a portion of a trail may be necessary if
severe flooding, continual erosion, or weak soils cause periodic difficulties
with trail maintenance. For estimated costs for new trail construction, see
Chapter 5: Cost Analysis.
Restriping of trails will cost the same (in year 2000 dollars)
as the original striping. The trail owner should keep a record of the original
bid to determine the price of restriping a trail using contracted labor.
In many cases, it is cost effective to perform restriping along with other
trail or highway maintenance. In such instances, the trail owner itself will
be the best source of costing information.
Sealcoating of asphalt trails should take place approximately
every five years. This will increase the longevity of the trail and provide
a quality riding surface. When performed, sealcoating will cost approximately
$3,500 per mile for a 6-foot pedestrian trail and approximately $5,800 per
mile for a 10-foot multi-use trail. A periodic cost such as this should be
included in the trail owners Capital Improvement Program, in order
to ensure that adequate funding is available.
There are essentially two activities that are considered
to be major reconstructions:
- Resurfacing of asphalt trails
- Complete replacement, regrading, and resurfacing of all trails
Asphalt trails will need to be resurfaced approximately
every 10 years, depending on how well they have been maintained. A resurfacing
typically involves placing an asphalt overlay on an existing asphalt surface
in order to erase cracks and bumps. It is not a perfect solution, as weak
underlying soils or tree root penetration will eventually affect this top
layer, but it does offer a lower cost means of extending a trails life.
The cost for resurfacing can be based on unit costs shown in Chapter
5: Cost Analysis. Asphalt surfacing costs approximately $1 per square
foot for a 4-inch depth. Asphalt overlays should have a depth of 1 to 2 inches.
Table 7-2 offers some sample costs for asphalt resurfacing.


The 4 important ways on how to enhance your aiming skills
Ever since it was first released the game has many players. They have been playing the game since then and it's having more time. Also in 2012, it was the release of the counter strike global offensive or CSGO. The game has already lost a lot of players and they started playing CSGO. Now the no steam counter strike 1.6 descargar has fewer players. But the game is still being played with thousands of people around the world. If you want the old school players or you want to learn the game.
You can play a warm-up match
You need to sharpen your skills by having a warm-up match before you play the game. In this way, it can help you tune-up for the game and improve your eyes on the targets. Playing the deathmatch can be useful as well. It will help you be better at your aim.
Improve your muscle memory
It is the most common tip that most players will tell you to enhance your aim. You don't need to look at the screen and keep your eyes at the crosshairs all the time. In that way, you can move your crosshairs on the map. So you have your target in sight.
If you have played enough more CS 1.6 you don't need to keep your eyes on the crosshair. You need to develop your muscle memory and once you will see the enemy your crosshair will go towards it. You need to have a smooth, large mouse pad. And to train your hands to move it smoothly so your crosshairs cover the screen.
Train your flick aim
It has two types of aiming theories. The first one is tracking aim. It is where you keep your crosshairs trained on a certain point even though you are moving. The second is the flick aim. It is where you are moving your crosshair fast between the target points. Its movement is to function the muscle memory. The best thing to make it perfect is to change the target slowly and have quick arm movements. You need to move as quickly because your muscle memory is developing.
Using a crouch well
You need to learn how and when will you use the crouch because this can help you with the aim. The crouch is an effective defensive tool. You can use this to your enemies to miss any headshots. It is because there will be half-decent players who always have the crosshair at head height.

whaleWow, it turns out that the SeaWorld whale which just killed a trainer has killed before.
Here's the WIkipedia entry for Tilikum:
Tillikum was first sent to live at Sealand of the Pacific near Victoria, British Columbia. There, he lived with two older females named Haida II and Nootka IV. While living in British Columbia, Tilikum sired his first calf when he was about eight or nine years old. His first son, Kyuquot, was born to Haida II on December 24, 1991. Just a few months prior to the birth of Kyuquot, Tilikum was involved in an incident which resulted in the death of a trainer. Twenty-year-old Keltie Byrne, who worked at the park, slipped and fell into the tank with the whales. Tillikum, a pregnant Haida II, and Nootka IV grabbed her in their mouths and tossed her to each other, presumably playing. Keltie drowned. The orcas had never had humans in the water with them before. Haida II and Nootka IV were overprotective of the newborn calf and aggressive towards Tillikum, who was forced into the small medical pool. Because of his huge size, Seaworld requested an emergency transfer to their facility. Tilikum was moved to SeaWorld Orlando, Florida in January 9, 1992; he has been there ever since. Sealand of the Pacific closed soon thereafter.
Since his arrival at SeaWorld, Tilikum has sired many calves with many different females. His first calf, born in Orlando, was to Katina. Katina gave birth to Taku on September 9, 1993. Tillikum's other calves are: Nyar (born 1993, died 1996), Unna (1996), Sumar (1998), Tuar (1999), Tekoa (2000), Nakai (2001), Kohana (2002), Ikaika (2002), Skyla (2004), and Malia (2007). In 1999, Tillikum began training for artificial insemination (AI). In early 2000, Kasatka who resides at SeaWorld San Diego was artificially inseminated using his sperm. She gave birth to Tillikum's son, Nakai, on September 1, 2001. On May 3, 2002, another female in San Diego, named Takara, bore Tilikum's calf through AI.
Tilikum was at the scene of another death on July 6, 1999, though evidence suggests the Orca was not at fault. A park guest, 27-year-old Daniel Dukes, was found floating naked in Tilikum's pool, apparently killed by a combination of hypothermia and drowning. Dukes had visited SeaWorld the previous day, stayed after the park closed, and evaded security to enter the Orca tank.
Tilikum never takes part in water work with trainers, not necessarily due to aggression (he is in fact very docile), but because he doesn't necessarily realize his own strength. Tilikum is the feature of the show "Believe" where the audience and trainers chant "Shamu" as Tillikum soaks the audience.[34] On February 24th, 2010 Tilikum was involved in a fatal accident with a female trainer. Witnesses report that during a show the whale grabbed a trainer by the waist and started thrashing her around. The attack was so violent the trainer's shoes were thrown off. The incident is currently under investigation. [35]

- Color$ - HTML Color Code of BR Color Attribute to color the Progress Bar. Defaults to Green.
 - ProgressAfter - This value can be used to prevent the progress bar from loading when the job takes only a short time.
 - ProgressThreshhold - This value can be used to prevent the progress bar from loading when the job takes only a short time.
 - UpdateThreshhold - This value can be used to prevent the progress bar from loading when the job takes only a short time.
 - Caption$ - Optional message to display above the progress bar.
 - MessageRow$ - Optional message to display on the progress bar.
fnCloseBar
fnCloseBar
Call this function to close the progress bar window when your task is done running.
fnCopyFile
fnCopyFile(FromFile$*255,ToFile$*255)
 - FromFile$ - The file to copy.
 - ToFile$ - The destination file name including path.
This function copies any file, by opening it as an external file and reading and writing the data to the destination file. The advantage of this technique, over using the BR copy command, is this routine is more reliable when run on client server where you may be transferring large files from one side to the other over the internet.
This fnCopyFile also has a progress bar that displays as the file is transferred, so the user knows your software is busy.
This function works over Client Server. Under Client Server, specify @: at the beginning of your filename, to specify that the file is on the client. If the file is on the server, simply leave the @: off. See the chapter on using BR's copy command under Client Server for more details on the "@:".
This function's parameters and syntax are modeled off of the built in BR copy command, and like that one, this should work for local transfers, LAN transfers, or even internet transfers. This function will work better for internet transfers then the built in BR Copy Command, however.
fnCopyDataFiles
fnCopyDataFiles(DestinationFolder$*255)
 - DestinationFolder$ - the folder to copy your data files to.
This function reads your file layouts and makes a copy of every data file (and key file) in your system to the destination folder, utilizing fnCopyFile above, for better performance and reliability when running over the internet, as well as a progress bar for each individual file.
It also displays a listview while its copying so you can watch the progress while its transferring your data files.
This can be used for making backups of your BR data, or for transferring the latest data onto a laptop for access to it while you're on the road away from the internet.
fnReIndex
This function reindexes a single data file
fnReIndex(DataFile$*255;CallingProgram$*255,IndexNum,Path$*25)
 - Datafile$ - the file layout of the file to index
 - CallingProgram$ - used for logging, pass Program$ in here
 - IndexNum - The index to rebuild - if not given, rebuilds all indexes
 - Path$ - the optional alternate path to use for rebuilding the data file.
fnReIndexAllFiles
This function reindexes all your data files. It doesn't require any parameters.
fnReIndexAllFiles
fnUpdateFile
This function checks and Updates a data file if it needs to be updated, by opening and then closing the data file.
fnUpdateFile(FileLayout$)
 - FileLayout$ - The name of the file to update
fnRemoveDeletes
This function, written by Susan Smith, removes deleted records by copying the file with the -D option.
fnRemoveDeletes(LayoutName$*255;Path$*255,CallingProgram$*255)
 - LayoutName$ - the file layout
 - Path$ - Optional Alternate Path
 - CallingPRogram$ - used for logging, pass Program$ in here
Layout Interrogation
Layout interrogation functions are provided for convenience and to enable future dictionary changes without disrupting any programs that interrogate it.
fnMakeSubProc
This function obtains the subscript assignments that were assigned by fnOpen according to the file layout. The fnMakeSubProc$ routine obtains the subscript assignments without actually opening the file. This is useful when a file record is passed as arrays into a library function in another program, or when you chained to another program and you need to know how to reach the data in the arrays without actually reopening the file.
fnMakeSubProc(filelay$;mat Subscripts$)
 - FileLay$ - The name of the file layout from which to read the subscripts.
 - mat Subscripts$ - If you give this optional array, fnMakeSubProc passes the subscripts back in this array rather then in the subs.$$$ file. This is much faster and helps avoid sharing conflicts.
When this routine returns, you can set the subscripts in your program by executing every element of the Subscripts$ array in a for/next loop.
If you did not pass in a subscripts array, then the a procedure file named subs.$$$ is created. If you proc that file, the proper subscripts will be set.
fnReadLayoutArrays
This function reads the fields in a file layout into arrays. You call it like the following
fnReadLayoutArrays(filelay$,&prefix$;mat SSubs$, mat NSubs$, mat SSpec$, mat NSpec$,mat SDescription$, mat NDescription$,Mat Spos,Mat Npos)
 - filelay$ - the name of the layout to read
 - prefix$ - the return value for the prefix for the file
 - mat SSubs$ - the return value for all the string subscripts in the layout
 - mat NSubs$ - the return value for the numeric subscripts in the layout
 - mat SSpec$ - the return value for the string fields specs
 - mat NSpec$ - the return value for the numeric fields specs
 - mat SDescription$ - the return value for the Descriptions of the String Specs
 - mat NDescription$ - the return value for the Descriptions of the Numeric Specs
 - mat SPos - the return value for the starting positions of the String Specs
 - mat NPos - the return value for the starting positions of the Numeric Specs
This function call would read the fields from the layout in filelay$, and it would return the prefix to prefix$. The Subs would be returned in mat SSubs$ and mat NSubs$.
The Spec statements are returned in mat SSpec$ and mat NSpec$ and the Descriptions are returned in mat SDescription$ and mat NDescription$. The start positions on disk of each element are returned in mat SPos and mat NPos.
All the arrays are optional. If you don't pass them the information they are supposed to record is simply not returned.
fnReadLayoutHeader
This function reads the header for a given file layout.
fnReadLayoutHeader(Layoutname$*255;&Filename$,Mat Keys$,Mat KeyDescription$)
 - LayoutName$ - Name of the layout to read
 - Filename$ - The file name read from the layout
 - Mat Keys$ - Array to be populated with the list of keys for the file
 - Mat KeyDescription$ - Key Description String returned from the file
fnReadEntireLayout
This function reads the entire layout by calling fnReadLayoutHeader and fnReadLayoutArrays.
fnReadEntireLayout(Layoutname$*255;&Filename$,&Prefix$,Mat Keys$,Mat KeyDescription$,Mat Ssubs$,Mat Nsubs$,Mat Sspec$,Mat Nspec$,Mat Sdescription$,Mat Ndescription$,Mat Spos,Mat Npos)
 - LayoutName$ - Name of the layout to read
 - Filename$ - The file name read from the layout
 - prefix$ - the return value for the prefix for the file

If you love green salsa, then you should get to know tomatillos. Dating back to 800 B.C., when the Aztecs domesticated them, tomatillos are considered a key ingredient in Latin-American cooking. Also called "tomate verde" in Mexico, the fruit of the tomatillo is generally firm, green, about the size of a large cherry, and meatier than a tomato. They grow to maturity inside a light brown, papery husk. The husk is a good indicator of freshness, but is inedible and should be removed before use.
The fruit of the tomatillo can be used as a base for chili sauces, known generically as salsa verde (green sauce), and will help lessen the pepper's hot flavor as well as stimulate the appetite. Because of their tart quality, tomatillos can be cooked, eaten raw, minced or pureed to accompany prepared dishes. Tomatillo's also makes a great addition to tortilla soup or guacamole.


text: This paper investigates whether a higher level of long-term credit provision affects the growth of small and young firms. Firm-level data from more than 20,000 firms in 62 countries are combined with a new hand-collected database on short-term and long-term credit provided to the private sector. Using a difference-in-difference framework, our results indicate that, contrary to short-term credit, long-term credit does not stimulate growth of small and young firms. This finding is, at least partially, explained by the differential impact of short-term and long-term credit provision on small and young firms' access to credit. While the provision of short-term credit alleviates credit constraints faced by small and young firms, a larger provision of longterm bank loans has an opposite impact. Our findings are in line with the hypothesis that an increase of long-term credit provision reects a lender's choice to provide more financing to existing clients (intensive margin) to the detriment of firms without previous access to finance (extensive margin).

Using Comparisons
The most direct way to compare any two materials in the database is to navigate to one of the materials, then use the "Compare to Current" field in the menu to find the other material. The resulting link will take you to the comparison page. This works on both top-level materials and variants.
If you found this page through a link on a material page, you can go back and try it right now. If you have an entirely different pair of materials in mind, you can use the menu on this page to find the first one. The menu is accessible by clicking the button in the upper right corner of the screen, or pressing the escape key. The menu will contain different things, depending on the type of page you're on.
You can also compare materials by browsing. The followup questions section on top-level materials contains links for comparing the given material to others of the same type (e.g. aluminum alloy, thermoplastic) or overarching category (e.g. metal, ceramic). Comparing materials of the same type provides a more detailed picture, with the largest number of properties in common. The more dissimilar the materials, the more challenging the comparison becomes.

The Knights Templar have origins in the Middle Ages as protectors of Christian pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. Many legends have grown up around this mysterious group, including a connection to the Holy Grail. In the late 18th Century the Freemasons adopted some Knights Templar rites and symbols (some believe there is a connection between the two groups). This explains why Knights Templar symbols found in cemeteries relate to the Freemasons. The symbol here shows a Maltese cross surrounding a cross inside a crown.
The gravestone below shows three Freemason related symbols, from left to right: Freemason, Knights Templar, Shriners.

Site Scrutiny is a design methodology that uses a critical understanding of site and history to produce architecture that is rooted in place and promotes unexpected experience. This thesis explores the methods of Site Scrutiny through the design of a contemporary project on the historic industrial riverfront of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Fundamental ways of addressing site and history return projects that maintain the status quo. Alternatively, Site Scrutiny is interested in how extensive investigation of site and history can lead to a hyperlocal contemporary architecture.
Site Scrutiny references three authors to situate itself in architectural discourse. Christian Norburg-Shulz establishes the meaning of place, James Corner communicates methods of uncovering hidden potential, and Rem Koolhaas details the juxtaposition between appearance and performance. The themes of Site Scrutiny can be identified in precedent projects such as Mosquito Bottleneck by R&Sie(n), IAAM by Hood Design Studio, Expo 2000 by MVRDV and the Wexner Center by Peter Eisenman.
This project used the methods of Site Scrutiny to develop a hyperlocal contemporary architecture in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The process involved the extensive research of historical maps that exhibited an ever-changing river lined with industry. Representation served as the primary tool to investigate these changes in form and program through time. The project juxtaposes existing infrastructure with past programmatic relationships, resulting in spaces that promote unexpected experiences and are rooted in place.
What my time at KCAD meant to me
Over the course of my time at KCAD I have been able to expand and translate concepts from my undergraduate degree into a new field. From Human Centered Design to Architecture, the importance of a critical understanding of historical and contemporary context have become imperative to my design process. KCAD has allowed me to work in conjunction with community stakeholders and local professionals to ensure my work translates from the educational realm to the professional. Following graduation, I plan to begin practicing architecture in Chicago and continue working towards becoming a licensed architect.

 - html.format.wrapLineLength: Maximum amount of characters per line.
 - html.format.unformatted: List of tags that shouldn't be reformatted.
 - html.format.contentUnformatted: List of tags, comma separated, where the content shouldn't be reformatted.
 - html.format.extraLiners: List of tags that should have an extra newline before them.
 - html.format.preserveNewLines: Whether existing line breaks before elements should be preserved.
 - html.format.maxPreserveNewLines: Maximum number of line breaks to be preserved in one chunk.
 - html.format.endWithNewline: End with a newline.
 - html.format.indentInnerHtml: Indent and sections.
 - html.format.wrapAttributes: Wrapping strategy for attributes:
 - auto: Wrap when the line length is exceeded
 - force: Wrap all attributes, except first
 - force-aligned: Wrap all attributes, except first, and align attributes
 - force-expand-multiline: Wrap all attributes
 - aligned-multiple: Wrap when line length is exceeded, align attributes vertically
 - preserve: Preserve wrapping of attributes
 - preserve-aligned: Preserve wrapping of attributes but align
 - html.format.wrapAttributesIndentSize: Alignment size when using force aligned and aligned multiple in html.format.wrapAttributes or null to use the default indent size.
 - html.format.templating: Honor django, erb, handlebars and php templating language tags.
 - html.format.unformattedContentDelimiter: Keep text content together between this string.
Tip: The formatter doesn't format the tags listed in the html.format.unformatted and html.format.contentUnformatted settings. Embedded JavaScript is formatted unless'script' tags are excluded.
The Marketplace has several alternative formatters to choose from. If you want to use a different formatter, define "html.format.enable": false in your settings to turn off the built-in formatter.
Emmet snippets
VS Code supports Emmet snippet expansion. Emmet abbreviations are listed along with other suggestions and snippets in the editor auto-completion list.
Emmet HTML support built-in
Tip: See the HTML section of the Emmet cheat sheet for valid abbreviations.
If you'd like to use HTML Emmet abbreviations with other languages, you can associate one of the Emmet modes (such as css, html) with other languages with the emmet.includeLanguages setting. The setting takes a language id and associates it with the language id of an Emmet supported mode.
For example, to use Emmet HTML abbreviations inside JavaScript:
 "emmet.includeLanguages": {
 "javascript": "html"
We also support User Defined Snippets.
HTML custom data
You can extend VS Code's HTML support through a declarative custom data format. By setting html.customData to a list of JSON files following the custom data format, you can enhance VS Code's understanding of new HTML tags, attributes and attribute values. VS Code will then offer language support such as completion & hover information for the provided tags, attributes and attribute values.
You can read more about using custom data in the vscode-custom-data repository.

Axle Position Histogram
The Axle Position Histogram is a histogram of inter-axle spacings within vehicles. This report will usually have a characteristic shape corresponding to common axle spacings, making it an extremely useful tool for verifying data quality.
The Axle Position Histogram can be characterised by:
 1. A group of spikes representing the most common passenger vehicles, and light trucks.
 2. Spikes corresponding to the double and triple axle groups of heavy vehicles (for datasets containing a noticeable percentage of these vehicles).
 3. Smaller spikes corresponding to the longer inter-axle spans in heavy vehicles, such as buses.
 Axle Position Histogram Sample
 Axle Position Histogram Sample
The Axle Position Histogram can be used to check for:
 - matching sensor length, and
 - correct sensor spacing.
Characteristic spikes in the histogram can be checked against known good data from the same area. If these spikes deviate in position by a significant amount, one of these problems may exist, and speed and classification should be considered suspect for this dataset.
For example, it is possible to target the double axle group on the back of an articulated truck, which is usually one of a few standard distances apart. Selecting Properties from the report's right-click menu will display the axle spacings filter.
Inter-axle spacings
Inter-axle spacings
Selecting SP4 in this case will display only the spacings between axles four and five. Note also the X-axis scale can be modified to increase resolution.
Filtering should create a few clearly defined spikes that can be verified using the cross-hairs. Again, deviation from known values may indicate a sensor installation problem.
Filtered Axle Position Histogram
Filtered Axle Position Histogram
For bidirectional data with a suspected problem, it is possible to distinguish between different sensor length and incorrect spacing. Different sensor length will result in spacings that are too short in one direction, and too long in the other. If filtering for one direction using the report Profile's direction filter moves the Axle Position Histogram left or right, this indicates different sensor length. If the report is unmoved, then incorrect spacing is the likely cause.

If you're making a concrete curb, patio, sidewalk, or driveway, use one of these edgers to improve the appearance of the finished slab and reduce risk of chipping on the edges.
These tools have a flat face with a handle on the back, and one edge of the face is curved down away from the handle. The curved edge is inserted between the wet concrete and the form being used to shape it, and then the tool is pushed along all sides of the slab to separate the media from the form and to smooth and round the edges of the wet concrete.
For Close Reach
These handheld edgers can be operated with one hand. They are used while kneeling next to the work surface and are well suited for edging small areas.
With Plastic Handle
With Wood Handle
For Extended Reach
Also known as walking edgers, these edgers have a long handle and can be pushed along the edge of a slab of wet concrete while walking. They are a good choice for edging large areas.


Unexpected results when using a link rule to apply styles
A link rule can apply a character and/or paragraph style to a variable text link. Then, when data is merged into a text link that is using this link rule, the result will be similar to placing that plain text or formatted text in a text frame and applying the selected paragraph and/or character style to that text. If a link rule is not applying styling as you expected, see the tips below:
First, manually copy/paste the data into the text link and then apply the style(s) that the link rule is set up to apply. This mimics what will happen when DesignMerge merges this link.
Next, confirm the link rule is applying styles that have been set up in the document. Note the name of the style that the link rule will apply must match the name of the style that has been set up in the document.
Also, test the link rule to confirm it has been set up correctly. You can test a link rule by doing the following:
 1. Open the Rules dialog (open the DesignMerge menu and choose Setup > Rules).
 2. On the left side of the Rules dialog, select the name of the link rule that you wish to test.
 3. On the bottom right side of the Rules dialog, click the Test button.
 4. When prompted, select the data file that you wish to use to test this rule.
 5. The Test Rule dialog will open where you can step through the records in the selected data file, reviewing the results presented on the bottom of the Test Rule dialog.
Then, examine how you have used this link rule in the document:
 - Confirm the variable link and link rule are assigned to a selection of text and not to a text frame. The ability of a link rule to apply styles has been designed specifically for variable text links. If the variable link is assigned to a text frame, then the rule will not apply any paragraph or character styles.
 - Confirm the linked text has been assigned to the appropriate variable link and link rule. One way to do this is to select the variable text link in the document and then look at the information that is displayed on the DesignMerge panel. For more information about assigning a link rule to a variable text link, see Tutorial #1b (Using Rules), available in DesignMerge Documentation.
 - If you would like the link rule to apply a paragraph style to the entire paragraph that contains the variable text link, the variable link must be the first character in the paragraph.

New sentencing guidelines that will see the courts take full account of the harm caused by offences such as arson attacks on historic buildings or criminal damage leading to severe disruption of public services were published today by the Sentencing Council.
For the first time, all courts in England and Wales will have formal guidance to ensure that they take account of:
- The full impact of arson or criminal damage such as vandalism on national heritage assets including listed buildings, historic objects or unique parts of national heritage and history.
- The economic or social impact of damaging public amenities and services such as a fire at a school or community centre, or criminal damage at a train station, which can adversely affect local communities or cause economic hardship to neighbouring houses or businesses.
- The effect on communities when an area's emergency services or resources are diverted to deal with an incident of criminal activity.
The guidelines acknowledge that harm can involve not only physical injury but long-term psychological effects, and that damage to property can be about more than just its financial value.
Judges and magistrates will also consider requesting reports to ascertain both whether the offence is linked to a mental disorder or learning disability in order to assess culpability, and whether any mental health disposal should be considered.
The guidelines, which come into effect on 1 October 2019, will help to ensure that sentencing by judges and magistrates will be consistent across the whole range of these offences. Limited guidance exists in magistrates' courts, but the new guidelines apply to all courts.
The new guidelines cover the following offences:
- Arson – criminal damage by fire
- Criminal damage / arson with intent to endanger life or being reckless as to whether life endangered
- Criminal damage where the damage has a value of more than £5000
- Criminal damage where the damage has a value of less than £5000
- Racially or religiously aggravated criminal damage
- Threats to destroy or damage property
Sentencing Council member Her Honour Judge Sarah Munro QC said:
"The Council's guidelines ensure that courts can consider all the consequences of arson and criminal damage offences, from a treasured family photo being destroyed to someone nearly losing their life and home in a calculated and vengeful arson attack."
Welcoming the new guidelines Mark Harrison, Head of Heritage Crime Strategy for Historic England, said:
"England's heritage can't be valued purely in economic terms. The impact of criminal damage and arson to our historic buildings and archaeological sites has far-reaching consequences over and above what has been damaged or lost.
"Damage to our heritage comes in many forms. Whether it be graffiti painted on the walls of a historic church, vandalism to the stonework of an ancient castle or causing a fire that devastates a Medieval barn or Victorian pier; these offences have a detrimental impact on both the historic property or site and the local community in which it is located.
"The new guidelines will help the courts identify all the relevant factors to include in their sentencing decisions as they will now be able to consider 'threats to cause criminal damage', 'the act of damage' and 'damage by fire'. It will also aid Historic England's work with the Police and Crown Prosecution Service when cases involve damage caused to heritage or cultural assets."
Neil Odin, Chair of the National Fire Chiefs Council Prevention Coordination Committee, commented:
"I fully support these new guidelines for dealing with arson attacks through the courts. Deliberate acts of arson are a blight on our local communities and have an economic impact on businesses.
"In addition, damage and the loss of historical buildings is disruptive and impacts on our vitally important heritage. Arson also increases demands on the already stretched resources of fire services across the country, which can result in diverting resources away from other incidents.
" It is worrying to see that there has been an upward trend of arson since 2014/15 and while we will continue with prevention work to reduce these figures, it is important the courts can deal with criminal damage appropriately, sending a clear message to other people."
Justice Minister Robert Buckland said:
"Beyond the financial cost to victims, arson and criminal damage are serious offences which can risk lives and leave lasting psychological harm.
"So it is right that courts have clear and consistent guidance when sentencing offenders to ensure punishments properly fit the crime."

Law of Similarity: Overview & Examples
Instructor: Orin Davis
Psychologists use the Law of Similarity to understand behavior. Learn the Law of Similarity, which is the tendency to link similar items into a distinct group, and see examples of how it affects you every day.
Definition of the Law of Similarity
Have you ever walked down a busy street on a summer day and heard the music coming out of the cars with open windows? You are probably hearing multiple songs at once, and yet you are able to identify each of them and not get lost in the ocean of sound. Within each song, the series of notes is connected more closely than it is to the notes of any of the other songs, and it is this similarity that allows you to pick out the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and Barbara Streisand all at the same time. The fact that we link things that are similar and treat them like a distinct group is the Law of Similarity. Psychologists use the Law of Similarity to understand behavior.
Examples of the Law of Similarity
To really understand how the Law of Similarity works, let's look at a few examples.
Example 1
Take a look at the letters below:
h h h h h h h h h h
q q q q q q q q q q
n n n n n n n n n n
p p p p p p p p p p
You would probably describe what you see as four rows of letters instead of ten columns of letters, because we tend to group similar things into whole sets - that's the Law of Similarity.
Example 2
What shape do you see in this picture?
ASCII Smiley
If you look closely, you will see that the smiley face is made of individual characters. We are able to see each of the eyes and the mouth because they are made of similar characters that we combine in our minds using the Law of the Similarity. While the light and dark contrasts help, we would be able to see the smiley face as long as the characters that make up the eyes are all the same but also distinct from the characters that make up the background. That way, we can group the characters using the Law of Similarity and distinguish them as eyes that are separate from the background of the face.
The Law of Similarity is a Gestalt Rule
The Law of Similarity is one of the rules that comes from Gestalt Psychology ('gesh-TAHLT'; German for 'whole'), which is about how human beings perceive wholes. Gestalt Psychology describes how a whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Take a look at Example 3 to see for yourself.

8 in 10 Greeks believe in conspiracy theories
A large percentage of Greeks have a negative view of immigrants, according to a study conducted by research centre "DiaNOesis".
The findings 62.1% of those polled attributed the economic crisis to internal failings, with only 9.7% responding the faults lies outside Greece. 76% responded that Greek society was at fault saying Greeks had become used to living beyond their means.
A very revealing, and somewhat strange finding, was the fact that 8 in 10 Greeks believed there were secret organisations that were "pulling the strings" behind the scenes.
Another striking finding is the 26.5% who believed planes were leaving chem-trails in the skies. 88.3% of the respondents agreed or partly agreed that the number of immigrants in Greece over the last 10 years was larger than should be, with 64.4% saying they believed immigrants contributed to a rise in crime.

Calytrix CNR-Sidetone
CNR-Sidetone is a small USB-powered audio mixing device that connects the user's headset and computer, providing several key features that dramatically enhance the audio realism within your simulated radio environment..
Sidetone: The feedback of a microphone signal at a reduced volume back into the associated headphones, allowing a user's own voice to be heard as part of that user's headphones' audio environment.
The Presence of a'sidetone' gives the User the sensation that the microphone and associated equipment are working properly, that the microphone is "live". Lack of sidetone can give the wrong impression that the user is speaking into a non-working ("dead") microphone.
Sidetone increases the realism of training for trainees using headsets. In addition, some systems use the presence of sidetone as positive reinforcement to the user that the user's microphone has been activated.


Continuous Question-Answer Pairs
Main Article Content
Yosef Goldenberg
The article offers a generalized study of continuous question-answer pairs in common-practice tonal music. These include continuous periods (with dominant-version consequent or other consequents with non-tonic beginnings), most but not all cases of the hybrid theme type compound basic theme + consequent, and many but not all statement-response pairs in sentential presentations. In question-answer pairs, the first ending is less stable than the second, but it need not be a cadence. Various aspects contribute to the evaluation of each specific case, including caesuras, motivic parallelism, symmetry, internal organization, unit length, independence of the hyper-unit, and melodic closure.

What Does Duck and Weave Mean?
Duck and Weave Meaning
Definition: To move from side to side, bobbing up and down.
People often move this way when trying to navigate through a large crowd. This expression describes a type of motion.
Origin of Duck and Weave
The verb duck predates the animal duck, although the two are related. One meaning of duck means to dive. The animal is named for the diving motion it makes through the water, and how it bobs its head in and out of the water.
Another meaning of duck is avoid a blow by moving down quickly. This meaning of duck appears in the literal meaning of the expression duck and weave, which describes a motion common in boxing.
In the sport of boxing, the athletes will move their head up and down, and move their bodies from side to side, trying to avoid the other boxer's punches.
Nowadays, people still use this expression for boxing, but also for anything with a similar motion.
Examples of Duck and Weave
duck and weave boxing duck and weave Here is an example of a teacher using the expression in a math class.
Teacher: Okay, class is finished. Don't forget to turn in your homework. Hey, you, stop ducking and weaving through your classmates. I see you trying to escape through the crowd without giving me your homework.
Student: I'm sorry, but I forgot to do it. I thought you might not notice if I escaped the classroom before you saw me leave.
Teacher: Well, next time don't move in such an obvious way. Uh, I mean, next time just finish your homework.
what does ducked mean In this example, two friends are coming back home from a party.
Monica: I think I'm done going to parties that are at nightclubs.
Janice: How come? Didn't you have fun?
Monica: Yes, I enjoyed the music and seeing my friends, but the dance floor was too crowded. There was no room to move freely to dance. I felt like I was just ducking and weaving through the crowd all night.
More Examples
This excerpt is from an article that questions the safety of dog parks. It describes the movement of a family pet.
 - Kyle Hurt and his 6-year-old son, Mason, lounged on a bench watching their energetic boxer, Jersey, duck and weave around a feisty Australian shepherd in the Hound Hill dog park near Quebec and Lincoln streets. –Denver Post
The second excerpt shows a food critic describing his walk through a restaurant.
 - My guest and I duck and weave through the crowd as we follow the hostess to our table. The dining room is just as loud. It's an echo chamber of shouted conversation and the uniquely screechy mating calls of the tequila-infused. –OC Register
The phrase duck and weave comes from the sport of boxing and describes the motion the boxer makes to avoid blows.
People now use it to describe the same type of motion when used in other activities, such as walking through a crowd.
