What is the stitch length regulator on a sewing machine?
A stitch regulator is a tiny computer attached to a sewing machine that constantly adjusts the machine's stitch speed to accommodate the speed of the fabric during free-motion stitching. This ensures balanced, equal-length stitches.
What sewing machines have a stitch regulator?
Bernina is the only home sewing machine brand with stitch regulated technology built-in. I used the Bernina Stitch Regulator to quilt all my Stitching Cosmos quilts!
How do you fix the stitch length on a sewing machine?
Adjusting the stitch length (For models equipped with the stitch length dial)
 1. Raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) so that the mark on the wheel points up.
 2. Turn the stitch length dial to adjust the stitch length that you want to sew.

What is the best stitch length for free motion quilting?
Yes, for free motion quilting, set your stitch length to '0'. That way your feed dogs won't be moving while you're quilting because you don't need them. Less wear and tear on those parts.
Basic Settings for Sewing Straight Stitches on a Sewing Machine
 - Stitch Length: 2.5mm or 10 (stitches per inch)
 - Stitch Width: needle centered over stitch plate*
 - Stitch Tension: 4.
How do you troubleshoot a sewing machine stitch?
21 Stitching Problems On Sewing Machines (and easy solutions)
 1. Check the needles isn't bent.
 2. Check the needle size.
 3. Let the machine pull the fabric at its own speed.
 4. Use a table to catch the fabric.
 5. Needle and thread must match.
 6. Check the timing of the machine.
IT IS INTERESTING: Your question: Can cross stitch patterns be used for needlepoint?
Why is my sewing machine making long stitches?
Make sure that the thread is in the tension disk and the spool is placed correctly on the machine. Also, double-check to see if the bobbin is in the correct way and threaded tightly. Sometimes, a poorly wound bobbin is the culprit for skipped stitches. Good quality thread also plays a part in nice and even stitching.
What setting should my sewing machine be on?
What does stitch length mean?
Stitch length is basically how long each stitch is sewn by your sewing machine. Changing the stitch length adjusts the feed dogs, which controls how much fabric is pulled through with each stitch. For a shorter length, less fabric is pulled through. For a longer stitch, more fabric is pulled through.

Prominent Syrian human rights lawyer released
A prominent Syrian human rights lawyer, Haitham Maleh, has been released by the Syrian authorities. Mr Maleh was given a presidential pardon, says a Syrian human rights organisation.
Haitham Maleh was sentenced to three years in prison last July for "weakening the national moral principles". He was arrested after criticising the government on television. He had campaigned for many years for the country's state of emergency to be lifted. The state of emergency was imposed when the Baath Party took power in 1963. The leaders of the party also imposed repressive rule which has continued until today partly thanks to the repressive measure.
In 2006, Mr Maleh received a Dutch human rights award the Geuzenpenning - Beggars' Medal, which refers to 16th century freedom fighters and a World War II resistance group - the Geuzen. The medal is awarded every year to people or organisations who strive for democracy, or against dictatorship, racism and discrimination. In the 1980s, Haitham Maleh was a political prisoner.http://cdn.radionetherlands.nl/data/files/images/lead/maleh.jpg

If you're considering buying a surface acoustic wave (SAW) touchscreen, you might wonder whether they are long-lasting. Some touchscreens last longer than others. They are better protected against premature wear and tear, resulting in a longer usable life. And with their long-lasting properties, they offer greater value than their counterparts.
SAW Touchscreens Explained
To better understand whether SAW touchscreens are long-lasting, you must first understand the technology that powers them. SAW touchscreens are characterized by their use of ultrasonic waves. They produce, as well as sense, ultrasonic waves.
When you initially turn on a SAW touchscreen, it will produce ultrasonic waves across the display interface. Sensors on the opposite ends of the display interface will pick up and register these ultrasonic waves. Performing a touch command will disrupt the sound waves in the respective area of the display interface. The SAW touchscreen will then register this disruption as a touch event.
Yes, SAW Touchscreens Are Long-Lasting
Without any moving parts, SAW touchscreens are long-lasting. SAW touchscreens leverage transducers to detect touch commands. They use transmitting transducers to produce ultrasonic waves, and they use receiving transducers to receive and sense ultrasonic waves. Regardless, SAW touchscreens don't use any moving parts to detect touch commands.
SAW touchscreens still feature a glass top layer — just like many other touchscreens. But the glass layer doesn't move, nor does it feature any mechanical components. The glass layer is the top layer that, as previously mentioned, contains the transducers. SAW touchscreens use transmitting and receiving transducers to detect touch commands via ultrasonic waves.
How long do SAW touchscreens last exactly? Many of them last for over 50 million touches. Whether you're looking to buy a new touchscreen for personal or commercial usage, a SAW touchscreen will last a long time.
Other touchscreens may feature moving parts. Resistive touchscreens, for instance, have two layers. When you perform a touch command on a resistive touchscreen, you'll press the top layer into the bottom later. Over time, these movements can wear down resistive touchscreens while potentially shortening their usable life.
You can rest assured knowing that SAW touchscreens will last a very long time. SAW toushcreens don't contain any moving parts. Rather, they feature transducers on a glass top layer. Some of the transducers produce ultrasonic waves, whereas others receive and sense ultrasonic waves. Regardless, SAW touchscreens don't contain any moving parts, so they last longer than many other touchscreens.

Do Bones Burn During Cremation?
By Staff WriterLast Updated Mar 28, 2020 1:30:38 AM ET
During the cremation process, bones are only partially burned and not completely destroyed. The process involves subjecting the remains to intense flame and heat, during which all organic matter is consumed.
The cremation process leaves behind certain bone fragments. After the remains are removed from the cremation chamber, a magnet removes any metal that was inside the body, such as implants and dental fixtures. The remaining bone fragments are then processed into fine particles and placed into a container. The cremation process generally takes about three hours and entails a careful labelling system to ensure that the remains are properly identified through the entire process.


RouteDeviation(_ routeDeviation: RouteDeviation) {
 // Get current geographic coordinates.
 var currentGeoCoordinates = routeDeviation.currentLocation.originalLocation.coordinates
 if let currentMapMatchedLocation = routeDeviation.currentLocation.mapMatchedLocation {
 currentGeoCoordinates = currentMapMatchedLocation.coordinates
 }
 // Get last geographic coordinates on route.
 var lastGeoCoordinates: GeoCoordinates?
 if let lastLocationOnRoute = routeDeviation.lastLocationOnRoute {
 lastGeoCoordinates = lastLocationOnRoute.originalLocation.coordinates
 if let lastMapMatchedLocationOnRoute = lastLocationOnRoute.mapMatchedLocation {
 lastGeoCoordinates = lastMapMatchedLocationOnRoute.coordinates
 }
 } else {
 print("User was never following the route. So, we take the start of the route instead.")
 lastGeoCoordinates = visualNavigator.route?.sections.first?.departure.mapMatchedCoordinates
 }
 guard let lastGeoCoordinatesOnRoute = lastGeoCoordinates else {
 print("No lastGeoCoordinatesOnRoute found. Should never happen.")
 return
 }
 let distanceInMeters = currentGeoCoordinates.distance(to: lastGeoCoordinatesOnRoute)
 print("RouteDeviation in meters is \(distanceInMeters)")
}
Inside the RouteProgressDelegate we can access detailed information on the progress per Section of the passed Route instance. A route may be split into several sections based on the number of waypoints and transport modes. Note that remainingDistanceInMeters and trafficDelayInSeconds are already accumulated per section. We check the last item of the SectionProgress list to get the overall remaining distance to the destination and the overall estimated traffic delay.
Inside the RouteProgressDelegate we can also access the next manuever that lies ahead of us. For this we use the maneuverIndex:
// Contains the progress for the next maneuver ahead and the next-next maneuvers, if any.
let nextManeuverList = routeProgress.maneuverProgress
guard let nextManeuverProgress = nextManeuverList.first else {
 print("No next maneuver available.")
 return
}
let nextManeuverIndex = nextManeuverProgress.maneuverIndex
guard let nextManeuver = visualNavigator.getManeuver(index: nextManeuverIndex) else {
 // Should never happen as we retrieved the next maneuver progress above.
 return
}
The maneuver information taken from visualNavigator can be used to compose a display for a driver to indicate the next action and other useful informaton like the distance until this action takes place. It is recommended to not use this for textual representations, unless it is meant for debug purposes like shown in the example above. Use voice guidance instead (see below).
As the location provided by the device's GPS sensor may be inaccurate, the VisualNavigator internally calculates a map-matched location that is given to us as part of the NavigableLocation object. This location is expected to be on a navigable path like, for example, a street. But it can also be off-track, in case the user has left the road - or if the GPS signal is too poor to find a map-matched location.
It is recommended to use the map-matched location to give the user visual feedback. An example for this is shown below. Only if the location could not be map-matched, for example, when the user is off-road, it may be useful to fallback to the unmatched originalLocation.
Note that the maneuver instruction text is empty during navigation. It only contains localized instructions when taken from the route instance. The ManeuverAction enum is supposed to be used to show a visual indicator. Consult the API Reference for a full list of supported actions.
Some roads do not have a name. In such cases, you can try to retrieve the road number instead, for example, when you are on a highway.
It is not required to trigger the above events yourself. Instead the VisualNavigator will react on the provided locations as coming from the location provider implementation.
If you detect a route deviation, you can decide based on distanceInMeters if you want to calculate a new route to the destination. This way you can reroute users to their destination. Note that for recalculation you may want to use the same route parameters, but there is no automatic mechanism to choose the same route alternative as before - unless you provide UI or some other logic for this.
In the above example, we calculate the distance based on the coordinates contained in RouteDeviation: distanceInMeters is the straight-line distance between the expected location on the route and your actual location. If that is considered too far, you can set a newly calculated route to the visualNavigator instance - and all further events will be based on the new route. The Navigation example app shows how to reroute after a deviation of 30 meters.
Note that previous events in the queue may still be delivered once for the old route - as the events are delivered asynchronously. If desired, you can attach new delegates after setting the new route to prevent this.
It is possible to feed in new locations either by implementing a platform positioning solution or use the HERE SDK positioning feature or by setting up a location simulator.
The basic information flow is:
Location Provider => Location => VisualNavigator => Events
It is the responsibility of the developer to feed in valid locations into the VisualNavigator. For each received location, the visualNavigator will respond with appropriate events that indicate the progress along the route, including maneuvers and a possible deviation from the expected route. The resulting events depend on the accuracy and frequency of the provided location signals.
Below you can find an example on how to handle location updates:
private func updateMapView(currentGeoCoordinates: GeoCoordinates,
 bearingInDegrees: Double?) {
 var orientation = MapCamera.OrientationUpdate()
 orientation.bearing = bearingInDegrees
 mapView.camera.lookAt(point: currentGeoCoordinates,
 orientation: orientation,
 distanceInMeters: ConstantsEnum.DEFAULT_DISTANCE_IN_METERS)
 navigationArrow.coordinates = currentGeoCoordinates
 trackingArrow.coordinates = currentGeoCoordinates
}
Here the main task is to update the map to the new location. Additionally, we rotate the map based on the current bearing. We also update a custom map marker to indicate the user's current location in form of a navigation arrow.
Screenshot: Turn-by-turn navigation example running on a device.
Note that we call updateMapView() from within the NavigableLocationDelegate - as we already have shown above. Each new location event results in a new NavigableLocation that holds a map-matched location calculated out of the original GPS signal that we have fed into the VisualNavigator. This map-matched location can then be consumed - like for example, as we have done above in updateMapView().
To stop any ongoing navigation, call visualNavigator.route = nil, reset the above delegates to nil or simply call stop() on your location provider. More information can be found in the stop navigation section below.
For the full source code, please check the corresponding navigation example app.
Receive Waypoint Events
The VisualNavigator class provides more useful notifications. Below is an example of how to receive notifications on passed waypoints. Note that it is possible to be notified at the destination waypoint in two alternative ways: the first example below notifies when the destination is reached - and therefore navigation can be stopped. Whereas the second code snippet below shows how to get notified on all types of waypoints including the destination waypoint.
// Conform to DestinationReachedDelegate.
// Notifies when the destination of the route is reached.
func onDestinationReached() {
 showMessage("Destination reached. Stopping turn-by-turn navigation.")
 stopNavigation()
}
// Conform to MilestoneReachedDelegate.
// Notifies when a waypoint on the route is reached.
func onMilestoneReached(_ milestone: Milestone) {
 if let waypointIndex = milestone.waypointIndex {
 print("A user-defined waypoint was reached, index of waypoint: \(waypointIndex)")
 print("Original coordinates: \(String(describing: milestone.originalCoordinates))")
 } else {
 // For example, when transport mode changes due to a ferry.
 print("A system defined waypoint was reached at \(milestone.mapMatchedCoordinates)")
 }
}
The onMilestoneReached() method provides a Milestone instance that contains the information about the passed waypoints along the route. Note that only stopover waypoints are included. A Milestone includes an index that refers to the waypoint list set by the user when calculating the route. If it is not available, then the Milestone refers to a waypoint that was set during the route calculation - for example, when an additional stop

Attempts to quantitatively evaluate the level of risk associated with nuclear power plants have led to an increasing desire to assign probabilities to rare precipitation events. Because it was felt that purely statistical estimates of events with return periods greatly in excess of the period of record susceptible to potentially unacceptable levels of uncertainty, an approach that combined statistical analysis with meteorological interpretation was taken to determine a 24-hr point precipitation amount judged to be associated with a 0.001 annual exceedance probability of occurrence (1000-yr event). The paper also considers the possibility of using joint probabilities associated storm centering, depth-area reduction and storm intensity to determine the probability of average depths of precipitation over larger areas.

text: AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the dimensional stability of oriented strand boards (OSBs) with the core layer made of fine wood chips when the boards were exposed to air of variable relative humidity (30%, 65%, and 85%). The share of fine wood chips, intended for the particleboard core layer or originating from comminution of unrefined particleboards, accounted for 50% or 100% of the core layer mass. This study revealed much greater changes in the length of the board's shorter axis, regardless of the type of fine wood chips in the core layer. These changes increased with an increasing share of this type of chips in the core layer. More pronounced changes in thickness were observed for particleboards containing 50% of the fine chips. The research also showed that the relative changes in linear dimensions were slightly smaller in OSBs containing 50% of wood chips from the comminution of unrefined particleboards than in the boards with a core layer made from wood chips designed for this purpose.

Two Main Ways About How the Olympics Changed Canada
Any major global event always leaves a city and a nation very different from how it was before the event. The Olympics has been one of the main reasons why some cities have changed their infrastructure and improved their stadiums. Canada had the privilege of hosting the Olympics for the first time in 1976 and have done so in three other seasons. Here are two ways by which the Olympics have changed Canada.
An Inspiration to Several Generations
The 1976 Olympics in Quebec brought a lot of financial strain to the city. Taxpayers had to dig deep into their pockets to make the event happen successfully. However, the results of such a hard investment are still seen to date. Before the games, not many were enthusiastic about the Olympics. It seemed like any other world activity until it landed on Canadian soil.
Since then more people look forward to every Olympic season, even those that were not there when it was hosted in Canada. A lot of kids sign up for Olympic associated sports with the hope that one day they will make not only their family but also their country proud.
The Growth of Host Cities
Calgary had always been a small-town way before the Olympics came to Canada in 1988. Since then, the city still has some sporting events that attract the attention of the media. Mayor Klein might also have a good reason to thank such a significant event. He eventually landed the position of a province's Premier after the games.
Vancouver also has a lot to thank the Olympics for. After hosting the Winter Games in 2010, transport and infrastructure improved immensely. The games brought the construction of the Canada Line, which is an automated transit that only takes 20 minutes from the airport to the heart of the city.

This Minecraft tutorial explains How to make a Blast Furnace in Minecraft with detailed screenshots and step-by-step instructed process.
When playing Minecraft, one of the tools that every player thinks they must necessarily use right from the start is definitely the blast furnace. In fact, through the use of the blast furnace you will be able to melt different materials such as metals, armor and various tools at twice the speed compared to the normal furnace. Remember that the Blast Furnace is essential for smelting ingots of iron, copper, gold, diamonds, coal, redstone dust, emeralds, coal and more.
These are all resources that you will find essential as you learn to play in Minecraft, because they can serve as a basis for other objects, sometimes as fuel for tools such as the brewing station and therefore their applications are practically endless! Follow this guide to learn about the various steps to take to build a blast furnace. Also remember that you can find a ready-to-use blast furnace by going to a gunsmith's house. Let's start!
Required Materials to create a Blast Furnace in Minecraft:
Creating a Blast Furnace is very simple: you can choose crafting if you are in survival mode, so follow the first option. If you are in creative mode, go directly to the second option.
OPTION ONE: CRAFTING A BLAST FURNACE IN SURVIVAL MODE
1. Open the workbench manufacturing grid
Lay out a workbench along the ground and open the manufacturing grid by right clicking on it. A grid similar to this will appear:
2. Insert the different materials in the grid squares:
Now follow these instructions carefully: insert five iron ingots into the manufacturing grid by placing them in the first three squares at the top and then in the central ones on the right and left. Then proceed by inserting the furnace in the central square. Finally, place three blocks of smooth stones in the remaining squares at the bottom. To better understand how to do this you can follow this image:
A blast furnace will appear as if by magic, ready to be used immediately! Easy right?
ADDITIONAL NOTE: If you don't have a ready-made furnace to be inserted in the grid, you can always create it by first inserting eight blocks of crushed stone into the manufacturing grid, leaving only the central square of the grid empty.
3. Collect the item
Once you have crafted the blast furnace through the workbench crafting grid, all you have to do is click on it and move it to your inventory.
4. Use the blast furnace
To use the blast furnace, just select it from the inventory and right click on any part of the land where you want to place it. Then right-click on it again and the grid will open where you can enter the casting instructions for the materials you want to blend.
OPTION TWO: FIND THE BLAST FURNACE IN CREATIVE MODE
You can easily find the blast furnace, if you are in creative mode, in the "Decorations" section

How to Find the Best Studio Monitor Placement
Optimize your listening environment with proper studio monitor placement. This guide will help you find the best spot for your monitors and listening position.
Focal studio monitors and mixing desk
Photo by Focal
Why is Studio Monitor Placement Important?
Building an optimal listening environment is crucial. Proper studio monitor placement is essential for creating mixes that translate on different speaker systems. It also ensures you're hearing your music accurately. Conversely, incorrect studio monitor placement will cause problems in the frequency response of your room. A poor listening environment will also affect how you hear your music which leads to bad mix decisions.
This guide outlines five best practices to follow when setting up your studio monitors. However, these best practices may not work in every studio. But, these tips should provide a good starting point for setting up your listening environment.
1. Finding a Room's Sweet Spot
The first step is to pick the best position for your workstation and studio monitors. Here are some general guidelines:
Place Your Monitors Away from the Walls
Sound waves that bounce off walls and other surfaces can either cancel each other out or multiply. Phase cancellation and frequency buildup are serious problems! Place your monitors eight or more inches away from walls to reduce sound wave reflection issues.
Center Your Monitors and Listening Position
Center your monitors and listening position between the sidewalls to achieve a balanced stereo image. This position ensures equal frequency reflections. A listening position too far left or right will create a buildup of frequencies on that side. While the area further away will have a dip in the frequency response. These two issues will give you an unbalanced representation of your mix.
Also, if your room is small and narrow, try centering the monitors along the widest wall. This position reduces side wall reflections.
Avoid Sitting in the Exact Center of the Room
Placing your monitors and listening position in the center of the room creates various problems. For example, some frequencies that bounce to the center simultaneously can cancel each other out. It also creates a null that causes a dip in the bass response.
Keep Your Listening Position Away from Corners
Avoid placing your studio desk in a corner. Keeping your monitors away from corners will help prevent bass buildup. Low frequencies build up where two reflective surfaces meet. This problem affects how you perceive the low end of your mix.
Positioning Monitors in Large Rectangular Rooms
Consider positioning the monitors along the shorter wall if you have a large rectangular room. The further away your listening position is from the back wall, the better. This position allows sound waves that reflect off the rear wall time to dissipate before reaching you. However, place your monitors on the widest wall if your room is small and the shorter wall is narrow to reduce side wall reflections.
The 38 Percent Rule
Try the 38% rule. For example, if your room is 10 feet long, position your monitors 3.8 feet from the front wall. This distance is a good starting point when finding the sweet spot.
2. The Equilateral Triangle Position
Position your studio monitors to form an equilateral triangle with your listening position. This studio monitor placement will put you in the sweet spot and give you an accurate stereo image.
For example, your listening position should be five feet from the monitors if your monitors are five feet apart. Keeping an equal distance between your monitors and your head is the ideal position.
Also, aim the monitors toward your ears at a 60-degree angle for best results. This position ensures you hear high frequencies accurately.
3. Position Your Studio Monitors at Ear Level
Position the monitor tweeters at ear level. High-frequency content is more directional than low-frequency content. So, directing the tweeters at your ears will allow you to hear higher frequencies more accurately. You can also tilt monitors down to direct the tweeters towards your ears if they are too high.
4. Keep Your Studio Monitors Upright
For best sound reproduction, position the monitors vertically. Don't turn your monitors on their side unless the design allows it. Keeping monitors upright will also place you in the sweet spot and give you accurate sound reproduction.
Moreover, read the manual for your monitors. Some monitors can lay horizontal or vertical. Also, if you place your monitors on their side, position the tweeters toward the outside for best results.
5. Invest in Studio Monitor Stands
Placing monitors directly on your studio desk can cause several problems. For example, sound waves that reflect off your desk will not give you a clear and balanced stereo image. Monitors also transmit their vibrations to any surface they are resting on which could produce unwanted noise. Setting monitors on a desk may also place them below ear level, which is not ideal.
Studio monitor stands are an essential piece of studio equipment worth considering. There are a variety of studio monitor stands. Choose the type that best fits your needs. The three main types are:
Floor stands decouple your monitors from the surface. They allow you to place monitors behind your workstation on secure stands. They also isolate your monitors which prevents surface reflections and vibration.
Desk stands raise the monitors closer to ear level. They also help prevent reflections from interfering with your listening environment. Many are also cushioned to reduce surface vibration.
Isolation pads are foam or rubber stands that lift your monitors off the desk. They provide a cushion to reduce surface vibrations and reflections. Isolation pads are also the most cost-effective studio stand.
Calibrate Your Listening Environment
There is room correction software that measures and calibrates the frequency response of your monitoring. For example, Sonar Reference 4 uses a microphone to measure the frequency response of your room. It then creates an EQ curve that corrects any tonal imbalances. Monitoring through this custom curve will help you hear a more accurate representation of your mix. This method leads to better mixing decisions. It also makes it easier to achieve quality mixes that translate on different speakers.
Knowing the frequency response of your studio will also help you calibrate your monitors. Most studio monitors provide a set of controls on the back to adjust optimal settings.
There are exceptions to every rule. Use your ears to decide what the best studio monitor placement is for your room. Also, consider treating your studio with acoustic treatment. A combination of absorbers, diffusers, and bass traps will create an optimal listening environment.

Paper Title
Analysis of Factors Affecting People Satisfaction Towards the Unification of Asean Economic Community
This paper aimed to examine AECassociated consequences including trade agreement, occupation and tourism as the influential factors of public satisfaction towards the AEC. The quantitative approach was utilized with questionnaire as a tool in collecting the data. The samples were 400 people from Pha Rai, Phan Seuk, Klong Namsai and Tha Kam Subdistrict. The hypotheses were established with the variables namely trade agreement, occupation, tourism and satisfaction of people, in order to analyze the public satisfaction towards the unification of AEC. The findings concluded that trade agreement, occupation, tourism, service, free trade areas accommodating factor, child labor, human trafficking and transportation cooperation and prevention measures delivered effect on people's satisfaction towards the AEC.

text: After the continuously welded rail (CWR) is laid on the bridge, relative displacements between beam and track under the action of temperature, creep, vertical live load, and braking force will occur. Due to the constraint between beam and track, the longitudinal forces are generated in the track, beam, and pier. This paper aims to compare the differences in rack-beam interaction between the Japanese code, the Eurocode and the Chinese code. Particularly the distinctions in track resistance models, braking forces, temperature loads, and vertical live loads. For example, the Chinese code and Eurocode use a nonlinear resistance model, but the Japanese code uses a constant resistance model. A representative bridge example is used to demonstrate the differences, where the finite element analysis is adopted. In the finite element analysis, nonlinear bars or constant bars are used to simulate the track resistance, beam elements with rigid links are used to simulate the bridge, and the mechanical model for the ballasted track was is established. Continuous simply- supported beam is assumed in the analysis. Based on the calculation results, it is found that the additional longitudinal stress, the relative displacement, and the reaction force caused by the temperature, vertical live loads, and braking force are higher as calculated by the Eurocode compared to the Chinese code and the Japanese code.


How much will an AME consultation cost?
Charges for meetings with AME educators are typically less than expert witness fees. The hourly fee ranges from $350 to $500 per hour (billed on 15 minute units).
What other costs are there?
If the AME educator travels to your location, there will be travel and modest hourly-fee charges A retainer may be requested. In some circumstances there may be supply costs for the teaching sessions – these will be rare and very modest.
How do I meet the AME educator?
There are various ways you can meet with the educator – in person, by phone or on-line. You are welcome to travel to meet the educator, or to ask them to visit you. Having the educator travel to you may incur other costs, including a predetermined travel-time charge, travel, and room and board costs. In some cases, when an educator travels to your location, a retainer is required.
Can I approve the AME educator before the meeting?
Yes. You will be given the CV of the AME educator before your first meeting. If you are not satisfied with their background, you can ask for a different educator.
Can I change AME educators?
Yes. If you are not fully satisfied with your engagements with the AME educator, you can request a new educator. You will be able to review their CV before your first meeting.
How long will the AME engagement last?
The short answer is half a day. This has been the experience of AME founder Dr. William Rosenblatt. Of course you are welcome to engage the AME educator for as long as you wish.
What will the AME educator and I do during our meeting?
Each AME educator has a different teaching style, just as each field of medicine may warrant different teaching techniques. The educator may elect to hold discussions with you, may use graphic and video teaching aids, or even include whole body simulation and biological specimens.
Can I discuss the specifics of a case with the AME educator?
Yes, but only after both parties are satisfied that the goal of attorney education in the relevant field has been met.
Is the AME educator the same as an expert witness?
No. AME is not an expert witness service. The AME educator is there to teach you the relevant science, standards and jargon of the medical field specific to your case.
What if I like the AME educator and want to use them as an expert witness?
If you feel that your AME educator would be a good expert witness for your case, you are welcome to solicit their participation. Any expert witness work by the AME educator should be invoiced between you and the individual doctor, and is outside the scope of AME.
Can I bring case files with me?
Though we discourage your bringing case files with you, you can discuss case specifics after both parties are satisfied with the education session. The time spent discussing the case will be added to your AME fees. If you engage the AME educator for later expert witness work, you should arrange billing directly with the physician, outside of AME.
Can I have someone else with me and will this incur a charge?
Yes and no. You are welcome to bring along a partner, paralegal or other staff – as many as you wish. Because you are paying for the AME educator's time, there is no extra charge. Be aware, however, that the more people you bring, the more dilute the in-person experience will be. In the past we have found that four or five persons is the maximum for a great experience.
How do I pay for the AME engagement?
You will be billed directly from AME. There is no need to pay the educator. Payments are due in 90 days.
Is there a minimum charge for the AME engagement?
Yes. You will be charged for a minimum of four (4) hours. But because we want you to be satisfied with our service, we will invite you to re-meet, call or otherwise engage the AME educator if you and the educator do not require the minimum time on the first meeting. Only after the minimum of four hours of education time is satisfied will you be further charged.
I am a defense attorney, and my client can teach me what I need to know about his/her field of medicine. Why do I need AME?
AME educators are independent, objective and expert. Even in the best of circumstances, your client is likely to be biased towards his or her own practice. The client may not be objective in evaluating the claims against him or her.
An insurance company may not agree to engage a non-witness educator onto the case. How do I convince them otherwise?
The insurer wants you to win this case. AME arms you with expert knowledge that will not only help you in examinations, but also reduce expert-witness expenses by bringing your understanding of the case up to par with the expert. AME educator fees are typically lower than expert witness fees.
I have an expert witness who can teach me the science, jargon and standards I need to know.
Many physicians in the prime of their practice and the at the top of their field don't enjoy medical malpractice work, and hence don't make themselves available as expert witnesses. Because attorney education does not involve issues of litigation, the best doctors in the country are more willing to participate.

I'm sure you've heard of the expression "patient zero" in the past.
It's a term used to refer to the first patient linked to a condition.
But did you know that the very first "Patient Zero" was a French Canadian?
READ ALSO: Video Showing How Apocalyptic Montreal's Traffic Is Right Now
Gaëtan Dugas was a man from Quebec city who worked as a flight attendant for Air Canada, and for years it was believed (this has been refuted) that he was responsible for initially bringing HIV to North America.
In 1984, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined that Gaëtan Dugas was at the center of a network of sexual partners who were infected with HIV.
The theory seemed so plausible. After all, Dugas traveled the world because of his job and was apparently extremely sexually active, having had over 25,000 sexual partners.
Dugas was referred to as "Patient o", as in the letter, not the number "zero". The "o" stood for "outside the area" because Dugas was from Quebec, but for some reason people interpreted it as a "zero" so the term "patient zero" was coined.
The rumor that Dugas was the cause of the virus became widespread. There were even books written about it where Dugas was portrayed as a sociopath who was intentionally infecting people.
People believed this fact for decades, which meant that Quebec was technically being held responsible for bringing HIV to America.
And that's probably not something we would want to be famous for.
But finally, in May 2016, a group of researchers conducted a study on blood samples from gay and bisexual men in the 70s and found that Dugas was not the source of the virus. The strain he was infected was present in the US before Dugas's arrival.
And since the study that named Dugas as Patient Zero didn't have any actual scientific data to back it up, after more than 30 years, Gaëtan Dugas's name was finally cleared.

Salt and Soda Soak: A Radiation Detox Bath

A BATH RECIPE TO NEUTRALIZE IONIZING RADIATION EXPOSURE
MARILEE NELSON
Branch Basics
Salt and Soda Soak to Neutralize Radiation Exposure (after airplane travel) | Branch Basics
This salt and soda soak is a radiation-neutralizing bath designed to help you detox and to clear your system of ionizing radiation, a particularly invasive environmental factor that can devastate your immune system. A salt and soda soak is an ideal way to detox after taking a long airplane trip. Flying on an airplane increases your exposure because you are exposed to high levels of gamma-ray radiation at high altitude levels. In addition, if you go through the full-body back scatter X-ray scanner, you will expose your body to small, bioaccumulative doses of ionizing radiation. The Federal Aviation Administration and the U. S. Department of Transportation have stated that radiation exposure from flying can increase risks if you are a frequent flyer, pregnant, a pilot or airline crew member.1 This bath is also effective after medical X-rays, dental X-rays, CAT and PET scans, and other medical diagnostic tests that expose the body to ionizing radiation.
When to Try a Salt and Soda Soak:
 - after airplane travel
 - after a medical x-ray
 - after a dental x-ray
 - following CT or PET scans
 - following any diagnostic tests that expose your body to radiation
RADIATION = ACIDIC, SALT & BAKING SODA = ALKALINE
Radiation is acidifying to the system, but a salt and soda soak, which is highly alkaline, helps neutralize this effect. This radiation soak can be done two to three times per week to help counteract the radiation and to eliminate toxins from the body's largest organ, the skin.
If you recently traveled in an airplane, this salt and soda bath can be particularly helpful to neutralize your radiation exposure from the flight. Take the radiation bath as soon after the flight as possible, especially when you return from your trip. If possible, continue taking a salt and soda soak daily for a week following your trip.
Salt and Soda Soak to Neutralize Radiation Exposure (after airplane travel) | Branch Basics
SALT AND SODA SOAK INSTRUCTIONS
 1. Dissolve one to two pounds of salt* with one to two pounds of baking soda in a hot bath. Use more for a larger bathtub.
 2. Soak for 40 minutes with most of your body submerged. If the water is too hot, you may experience dizziness or fatigue. Use a meat or candy thermometer to measure the water temperature – do not go over 104 degrees.
*Use common salt (sodium chloride) salt, not Epsom salt (magnesium chloride), for this bath. Morton's pickling salt or sea salt are common options sold in most grocery stores. Look for pure salt on the ingredients (no additives). Other options include mixing salt from a feed store (ground to a fine consistency), or coarse salt used for water softening (sold in 25-50 pound bags). However, be aware that coarse salt will be harder to dissolve than the other options.
Precautions
 - If you are feeling very weak, start with 100 degrees or below.
 - If you feel like you need to get out because it is too hot, add cold water until you are able to relax and enjoy the bath.
 - If you have a weak heart or if you get palpitations, you should not submerge your chest during the bath.
 - If you become dizzy or experience rapid heartbeat during the bath, slowly get out of the tub with someone's assistance.
 - If you have any reason to believe that the bath may not be right for you to do, please consult with your doctor before attempting to take one.
 - If you do not have a water filter for your bath tub, you can neutralize chemicals, chlorine and chloramines in the water by adding Microhydrin. Open up five capsules of the supplement directly into the bath water before you add the salt or baking soda.

A _USER_ is a more flexible way to define a form / wizard. You are supposed to map methods to requests based on requested path / request parameters / request method. So instead of defining a list of views and processing the request based on some required "step" parameter, you can define the steps of your wizard as you wish (also the command object will be handled more transparently). Here's how you can get to emulate a classic AWFC functionality (this is only meant to be an example, there's a lot more you can do).
public class WizardController {
 * The default handler (page=0)
 public String getInitialPage(final ModelMap modelMap) {
 // put your initial command
 modelMap.addAttribute("command", new YourCommandClass());
 // populate the model Map as needed
 return "initialView";
 * First step handler (if you want to map each step individually to a method). You should probably either use this
 * approach or the one below (mapping all pages to the same method and getting the page number as parameter).
 _USER_(params = "_step=1")
 public String processFirstStep(final _USER_("command") YourCommandClass command,
 final Errors errors) {
 // do something with command, errors, request, response,
 // model map or whatever you include among the method
 // parameters. See the documentation for _USER_
 // to get the full picture.
 return "firstStepView";
 * Maybe you want to be provided with the _page parameter (in order to map the same method for all), as you have in
 * AbstractWizardFormController.
 _USER_(method = RequestMethod.POST)
 public String processPage(_USER_("_page") final int currentPage,
 final _USER_("command") YourCommandClass command,
 final HttpServletResponse response) {
 // do something based on page number
 return pageViews[currentPage];
 * The successful finish step ('_finish' request param must be present)
 _USER_(params = "_finish")
 public String processFinish(final _USER_("command") YourCommandClass command,
 final Errors errors,
 final ModelMap modelMap,
 final SessionStatus status) {
 // some stuff
 return "successView";
 _USER_(params = "_cancel")
 public String processCancel(final HttpServletRequest request,
 final HttpServletResponse response,
 final SessionStatus status) {
 return "canceledView";
I tried to vary the method signatures so that you can get an idea about the flexibility I mentioned. Of course, there's a lot more to it: you can make use of request method (GET or POST) in the _USER_, you can define a method annotated with _USER_, etc.
EDIT: I had an unmapped method which I fixed (by the way, you need to make sure you don't have ambiguous mappings -- requests that could be mapped to more than one method -- or unmapped requests -- requests that cannot be mapped to any method). Also have a look at _USER_, _USER_ and _USER_, which are also needed for fully simulating the behaviour of the classic AWFC (I edited the code already to make this clear).

I would like to have furred walls in my basement, how can I do this?
Furred walls are useful for finishing a basement area and to provide room for insulation. This can easily be represented using Chief Architect by using the furred wall setting.
In Chief Architect X7 and newer program versions, you may find it more effective to simply define a new wall type with multiple framing layers. For more information on this process, see the article on defining a new wall type in the Related Articles section below.
To build a foundation
If a foundation is not created, select Build> Floor> Build Foundation from the menu.
Specify the settings you desire in the Build Foundation dialog and click OK.
Choose the option to Derive new foundation plan from the 1st floor plan and click OK.
Using the Select Objects tool, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and click on all walls you want to have furred.
This technique is called Group Select. It allows you to change all the walls at once instead of changing them one at a time.
Click on the Open Object edit tool to display the Wall Specification dialog for the selected walls.
On the Structure panel, make sure the Frame Through option is selected, and then click OK.
To create furred walls
Click Build> Wall> Straight Interior Wall to draw interior walls parallel to the exterior walls you want furred, but do not create an enclosed space or close the room.
If you create an enclosed space that has room definition inside another enclosed space, an invisible wall or room divider will appear to connect the island room. This can cause the furred designation we specify later to not work properly.
Using the Select Objects tool, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard, and click the interior walls to group select them, then click on the Open Object tool to display the Wall Specification dialog.
On the Structure panel, select the Furred Wall option to mark these as furred walls.
Now that the walls marked as furred, close the gap in the room. Notice that no invisible walls or room dividers display.
Using the Select Object tool, select each interior wall and move them so they bump up against the foundation walls.
If an opening, such as a Door or Window , is placed into a wall on the foundation level, we can see that it now cuts through both walls.

In 2014, CBS News published an article declaring South Dakota one of the country's top ten fastest-growing states. As the Mount Rushmore State continues to welcome a growing population due to thriving oil and gas industries, more highly skilled professionals like forensic psychologist will be needed to accommodate a larger pool of residents and the subsequent increase in crime and incarceration rates.
The United States Department of Labor expects an 11% employment growth trend for forensic psychologists in South Dakota between 2012 and 2022. As a result, forensic psychologists can anticipate a greater number of high-paying jobs as the demand for their specialized expertise continues to rise.
How Experience Affects Earnings for Forensic Psychologists in South Dakota
According to the United States Department of Labor, forensic psychologists are listed among South Dakota's highest-paying occupations that require at least a master's degree education.
In 2014, forensic psychologists working statewide earned an average annual salary of $73,830 and an average hourly wage of $35.50. Forensic psychologists that intend to surpass this state average are encouraged to attain as much experience as possible and consider establishing independent practices so as to provide consultation services on a contract basis.
In South Dakota, the most experienced forensic psychologists typically earn more than twice that of their less experienced colleagues:
- Forensic psychologists in entry-level positions earned an average annual salary of $47,900 and an average hourly wage of $23.05.
- Forensic psychologists at their mid-career point were awarded a higher average annual salary of $68,400 and an average hourly wage of $32.87.
- Forensic psychologists with the most experience (top 10%) were handsomely compensated with an average annual salary of $98,700 and an average hourly wage of $47.46.
Forensic Psychologist Salaries in South Dakota by Region
Salary information published by the United States Department of Labor shows that forensic psychologists in South Dakota experienced salary variations depending upon the region in which they were located.
For example, in 2014 forensic psychologists working in Rapid City were paid an average annual salary of $83,930. However, those practicing in Sioux Falls made an average annual salary of $76,870. Meanwhile, forensic psychologists in the Eastern South Dakota nonmetropolitan area earned a much lower average annual salary of $58,710.
The following occupational wage table provides a closer look at forensic psychologist salaries in the abovementioned regions of South Dakota (US Department of Labor, 2014):

This study finds shortcomings in empirical tests of the capital structure irrelevance hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis is that firms choose value maximizing mixes of debt and equity on account of bankruptcy costs and the tax deductibility of interest payments. Based upon the cross‐sectional implications of the tax shelter‐bankruptcy cost hypothesis, an alternative test of the irrelevance hypothesis is performed. The test examines the relationship between failure rates and leverage ratios for 36 lines of business. The results are inconsistent with the irrelevance hypothesis.

I'm wondering if any one knows a javascript formula which calculates the max number of tiles that would appear on the user's screen at any given time based on their screen size...
For example: If we say the screen size is 1200pixels by 600pixels and the tiles are 64 pixels by 32 pixels.
In a birds eye view this is easy to calculate but isometric kinda makes it all a bit more confusing for me to understand how to implement such a calculation in my code.
Does any one have any insight how to calculate it?

What are the details of the plane? E.g. the distance and angle from the screen? – Phil H Apr 5 '12 at 14:09

Assuming you are counting only tiles that fit fully (without getting cut-off):
 var verticalCount = Math.floor(windowHeight / tileHeight);
 var horizontalCount = Math.floor(windowWidth / tileWidth);
 var totalCount = verticalCount * horizontalCount;
If you want to count also tiles that fit partially (getting cut off by the window), just change both instances of Math.floor to Math.ceil above.
share|improve this answer
This only works for birds eye view, in isometric you end up with empty spaces in all 4 corners. The maths is different because the tiles are essentially at an angle. I already tried you're approach :P – Dave Mar 9 '12 at 1:26
If this answer is not sufficient, I suggest you un-accept it. – Phil H Apr 5 '12 at 14:08
add comment
If you are wanting to fill the screen with isometric tiles, not a board, and not counting the half tiles that could be displayed, then the formula would be
var cols = Math.floor(windowWidth/tileWidth)
var rows = Math.floor(windowHeight/tileHeight)
var totalCount = (rows * cols) + ((rows-1)*cols)
this will give you the number of complete isometric tiles that can fit in that space.

Ever wondered how long the current word is? This can be quite useful when editing data files. Add the following to your vimrc:
nnoremap <C-_> :echo 'word' expand('<cword>') 'has length' strlen(expand('<cword>'))<CR>
Then press Ctrl-_ to display the word under the cursor, and its length. The length is the number of bytes in the word, which is not the same as the number of characters if a multi-byte encoding is used. To get the number of characters, use:
nnoremap <C-_> :echo 'word' expand('<cword>') 'has length' strlen(substitute(expand('<cword>'), '.', 'x', 'g'))<CR>
For strings that aren't words, use the following to show the number of bytes in visually selected text when Ctrl-_ is pressed:
vnoremap <C-_> "-y:echo 'text' @- 'has length' strlen(@-)<CR>
It would be better to use :set showcmd to display the length (in bytes and characters) of any visually selected text. Then type viw to select the current word and show its length (v starts a character-wise visual selection and iw selects the inner word).

Kitesurf in Sardinia
Post pubblicato il:
Kitesurf in Sardinia
What is kitesurf?
Kitesurf is the water sport that most increases regarding the number of people that practice it. It was born from the union of two amongst the most known water sports: windsurf and wakeboard. It is considered a trend now and in the near future.
This sport was spread by French and Hawaiian people at the end of 90' years and now you can see people kitesurfing almost in every beach or lake worldwide. Their colored sails zip through all water surfaces in the world where there is a bit of wind.
 Kitesurf is based on a very simple principle: it uses the wind as a propeller. The kitesurfer, using a bar with two ropes 30 meters long, move the kite to obtain the speed and direction desired. The boards are similar to those used by wakeboarders, and today there are many different types of boards to satisfy even the most discerning kitesurfer.
The pleasure this sport gives is to water plan, draw by the wind.
Why so many people practice kitesurf?
Kitesurf is probably so attractive because…it is easy to learn. It is much easier to learn than windsurf or wave surf. Probably kitesurf attracts always more people because you can learn pretty quickly how to water plan, jump and perform aerial manoeuvres.
The kite has a strong vertical traction, what allows not only to reach high speed but even take off sucked in by the wind, the main emotion kitesurfers look for.
Another advantage of this sport is the fact that the equipment needed is not awkward and it is easy to be transported in the car luggage compartment, with no need to carry boards over the top of the car. It has a big advantage over windsurf, which equipment includes tree, goose-neck and extensions.
The kite can be fold and fits into a backpack. The kitesurf board is not bulking and the ropes can be rolled around the bar.
There are different kite models, but with 2 you can cover most of the wind conditions and practice kitesurf with no problems.
Are there different types of windsurf?
There are more styles. To ride big waves it is necessary to use a mono direction board, similar to the ones used by surfers. To make some acrobatics moves the board needed is the bi direction one that are better when there are no big waves.
Water planning is called freeriding, while the kitesurf style that consider jumps and acrobatic evolutions is called freestyle. The kitesurf practiced over the waves is called wavestyle and the one on calm waters wakestyle.
What is necessary to practice kitesurf?
It is necessary to take 12/14 lessons to acquire the basic knowledge one needs for a safe and autonomous practice. Even if it is not mandatory, it is warmly recommended attend a course because kitesurf is an extreme sport anyway and, even if the equipment are safe, there are many pitfalls, especially regarding others.
Kitesurf gives fun even with low wind. The perfect wind for a beginner is the one between 12 and 14 knots. A more expert athlete is able to use, together with the right equipment, winds between 8 and 40 knots.
There are many kitesurf schools that lends the necessary equipment to practice it during the lessons and thereafter one can simply rent or acquire the equipment for him/herself.
To practice kitesurf you need:
 1. A complete kite, what means the kite plus the bar and ropes;
 2. A kitesurf board;
 3. A trapeze;
 4. Safe equipment (protection vest, helmet, diving gear, etc)
Where and when is it possible to practice kitesurf in Sardinia?
Sardinia offers the possibility to practice kitesurf from April to October. There are two locations that offer excellent position both for the wind and the local structure to facilitate the practice of this sport.
Kitesurf in north Sardinia
In north Sardiia, the reference is Porto Pollo. This cute bay has a favorable position regarding the wind that allows the practice of this sport at any level.
To reach Porto Pollo it is better to arrive or land at Olbia (port and airport) and stay in one of the beautiful hotels that are nearby Porto Pollo.
It could be the ideal occasion to a father and son vacation, as Luci di La Muntagna hotel offers a special promotion for a parent travelling with a child. The hotel is located in the famous Porto Cervo and have a wonderful panorama above the marina.
Otherwise Abi D'Oru hotel, on Marinella beach, close to Porto Rotondo and Olbia.
A third solution could be La Coluccia hotel, in Santa Teresa Gallura.
Kitesurf in south Sardinia
In south Sardinia, the best place for kitesurf is Chia. It is a wonderful beach with perfect conditions for practicing water sports such as kitesurf.
The choice here goes to Aquadulci hotel, close to Su Giuddeu (400 m), a very beautiful beach known for its sand dunes.

Tignon Laws Forced Black Women To Cover Their Hair
historical landmarks | July 25, 2020
A Caribbean woman wearing a tignon. (Getty Images)
Black women often face discrimination and hardship on account of their "distracting" hair, and it turns out it's been happening since their earliest days in the U.S. While today, black hair is considered as fashionable as it is "unprofessional," there was a time when lawmakers forced black women to literally keep their hair under wraps.
Free Women of Color with their Children and Servants, oil painting by Agostino Brunias, Dominica, c. 1764–1796. (Agostino Brunias/Wikimedia Commons)
Down In New Orleans
New Orleans in the 1700s was a wildly diverse place, with settlers from France and Spain mingling with the Creole population as well as people of African and Caribbean descent. Every group brought the fashion of their culture with them, from the elaborate baroque dresses of France to the intricate braids, beads, and gems with which black women from all regions adorned their hair. This diversity didn't necessarily lead to equality, however. Just because many black Louisianans had earned enough money to buy their freedom didn't mean the balance of power didn't shift disproportionately toward white settlers, and white women—whose hair was usually ill-suited to such fanciful displays—weren't happy about being outshined by their black neighbors in that department.

An Appeal To The Governor
Eventually, the white women of Louisiana were so fed up with their beautiful black neighbors that they petitioned the governor to legally enforce their plainness, insisting that these evil "exotic" women were intentionally scheming to tempt white women's husbands away from them with their advanced cosmetology skills. That may not seem like a legal problem, but Governor Esteban Rodriguez Miro, committed to taking (some of) his people's demands seriously, agreed to take action. The resulting legislature became known as the Tignon Laws.
A tignon was meant to hide the wearer's hair. (The Louisiana Library Network/Wikimedia Commons)
The Tignon Laws
In 1786, Governor Esteban Rodriguez Miro enacted a law requiring black women in New Orleans to wear a tignon, a type of headdress or scarf, that completely concealed their hair. The law's purpose was twofold: It supposedly prevented black women from enticing white men with their hair, but it also served as a social indicator. Light-skinned black women who dressed extravagantly were often mistaken for white European women, and they couldn't have that.
Tignon Laws lasted until the early 1800s. (Yale Center for British Art/Wikimedia Commons)
A Tignon Fashion Statement
Long accustomed to making the best of a bad situation, the African, Caribbean, and Creole women of Louisiana turned the oppressive Tignon Laws into an opportunity to further display their cultural pride. They crafted their tignons out of colorful, luxurious fabrics and added jewels, ribbons, and flowers to turn the headdresses into bold statement pieces.
Some women still wear tignons today. (Tosha Noakes/Pexels)
The Decline And Rebirth Of Tignons
By the early 1800s, the Louisiana Tignon Laws were no longer enforced, and black women were more than ready to cast off their oppressive accessories. A century and a half later, however, tignons have experienced a rebirth. The tignons of today—available in a variety of styles, fabrics, and patterns—can be the crowning jewel of an elegant outfit.

Abolitionism, according to Stanley Cohen, is a critical thinking movement about criminology, crime, punishment, and criminal law that has been developing in Western Europe since the early 1970s. John Muncie characterizes abolitionism as a knowledge-based movement that seeks to move beyond the essentialist ideas of crime, criminality, and criminal justice to facilitate new critical insights and alternative visions of justice.11 The impetus of the abolitionist movement was dissatisfaction with current crime and criminal justice policy. This discontent was not only with the basic assumptions of criminal justice policies but also with the concrete consequences of criminal justice functioning, according to Louk Hulsman. Abolitionism is based heavily on deconstructionist impulses in the form of the questioning of dominant criminal justice theories and practices. There is no concrete definition of abolitionism. To some, abolition requires doing away with the entire criminal justice system and to others abolition implies the end of penal...

A brick wall
Curtain panel pattern-based can be used to lay brick in offset courses. The key concept in this lesson is that a non-adaptive object can be placed in the pattern-based panel. Thus a standard brick can be used to make a curved wall. There are two examples: 1) the brick that is laid in tilted courses to conform the surface of the bricks closely to the surface, and 2) the brick that is laid in horizontal courses so that its face is always vertical.
The first step is to draw a brick. It might as well be a parametric brick. Create a new family as a Generic Model. Draw the brick with its insertion point aligned with its bottom edge and its face centered. Draw a two vertical planes and one horizontal one.
Add dimensions, making the two vertical planes EQ from the centerline.
Label the dimensions with type parameters for length and width.
Draw an extrusion. Sketch it with a rectangle. Lock the edges of the rectangle to the reference planes.
Finish the extrusion. Select the extrusion and look at the Extrusion End property. Click on the Associate parameter button and give it a new parameter of height.
Look at it in 3D to see if it is right. Adjust the parameter values and change the shape of the brick. Note that you can put equations into the parameter values to calculate things like the height of a brick (=8"/3-3/8").
Finish up with a brick that is nominally 8/3" high, 8" long, and 4" wide.
In the Category settings, make the family Work plane based and uncheck always vertical.
Save this file as brik.rfa
Now start a new family of curtain panel pattern-based. Click on the blue border to change the pattern type. With the type selector, change it to 1/2 step. Change the spacing of the pattern to 8" in each direction. You will want to adjust your zooming and change the scale so it looks better. Drag the points around to get everything out of plane and away from the default work plane. Save this file as brick pattern.rfa
Go back to the brick family and load it into the new pattern.
Before you place the brick, set the work plane to be the horizontal work plane of the middle adaptive point. This will keep the brick oriented and located on the pattern.
Create a test surface as a conceptual mass. Load the brick pattern into the test surface. Divide the surface and apply the brick pattern.
The spacing of the nodes may need adjustment. Use 4" in one direction and 8"/3 in the other direction. This should space the mortar properly.
The next idea is that bricks are typically laid in level courses. To test this, make a test surface that is roughly vertical, like a wall. A quick way to do this is to Ctrl drag the level 1 to make two more levels. Then draw a Spline through point on each level. Blend sweep between them to make the surface.
Go to the brick family. Change its Family Category and Parameters to check Always vertical
Load it into the brick pattern. Save the brick pattern with a new name, such as brick pattern vertical.rfa
Change its Family Category and Parameters to check Always vertical.
Swap out the brick for brick vertical.
Load it into the test surface and apply it to a divided surface on the wall.
It looks right, except the bricks are rotated to show their width rather than their face. We could work to try to rotate it, but it is a parametric
brick and it is easy to swap the parameters. Go back to the brick vertical family. Swap the width for height. Change the associated parameter for the Extrusion end too.
Reload into the pattern, and reload into the test surface.
Adjust the spacing of the bricks, once again using Fixed Distance.
The brick wall should look right!


Why do I see a form submit with no associated site visit on a timeline?
1) Cookie shared by two users
ActiveDEMAND tracks prospects in many ways. One way is using cookies. If someone loads a page, the tracking script stores a cookie on the visitor's computer via the browser. The base case today is that people do not share computers without logging out of the browser. More people are concerned about someone accessing their personal device than they are about having a cookie stored in their browser. Thus the tracking is quite good. Where it falls down is if someone shares their computer with someone else. Or if one person is filling out forms for multiple people. ActiveDEMAND will only allow one contact to own the session (sessions are not shared). Thus if someone fills out the same form for two different contacts, only one of the two contacts will 'own the session', the other will show a form submit with no web session.
2) Employee Suppression via 'owned IP addresses'
As more ActiveDEMAND users are marketers, clearly the marketer will do a lot of testing on assets. As ActiveDEMAND is very good at tracking, this poses a problem. Marketers testing will impact the marketing stats. Thus a user of ActiveDEMAND can choose to associate their IP address with the work they are doing. If a marketer clicks BLOCK MY IP on their user profile, ActiveDEMAND will assume all visits from that IP are the employee, thus it will suppress visit data etc from that employee to keep the ActiveDEMAND stats clean
How do I find the 'lost visit'?
Often the form submit will have an IP address on the timeline. You can search the drill down reports for this IP address. Another place to look is the employer of the contact that filled out the form. Are there other form submits by that company from that IP? Another trick is to look at the contact's Map. The form submit will show up on the map. Use the dashboard map, isolate the time range, search for other website visits or form submits on the map. Chances are high that one of those owns the session.

Background: Reduction mammaplasty is a frequently performed plastic surgical procedure, yet preoperative assessment usually excludes an estimated resection weight. In this retrospective study, a formula was derived using regression analysis of routinely measured preoperative anthropomorphic measurements and intraoperative resection weights.
Methods: Data were collected from 214 consecutive breast reduction patients operated on at a tertiary referral center between January of 1993 and January of 2006. The operations were performed by 15 plastic surgeons using a variety of reduction pattern techniques. Four variables were recorded for each patient: notch to nipple distance, nipple to inframammary crease distance, body mass index, and age. Regression analysis was performed on the data to establish which preoperative measurements correlated most accurately with the resection weight.
Results: The following formula was established relating nipple to inframammary crease distance and notch to nipple distance measurement to the weight removed: Breast weight = (35.4 × notch to nipple distance + 60.66 × nipple to inframammary crease distance) – 1239.64.
Conclusion: Use of this formula aids the surgeon with patient counseling, insurance company quotes, and intraoperatively in patients with asymmetry or those undergoing reconstruction, as a guide to resection weights.

Sunflower Heart Chips
A mixture of broken and small sunflower hearts, these sunflower heart chips offer similar levels of energy and protein to wild birds when compared to sunflower hearts whilst causing less mess due to finches feeding.
The small size of these chips stops finches from chomping down the middle of a seed and letting the edges fall to the ground.
This leaves less mess on the ground, but also leaves less food available for ground feeding birds such as Chaffinches, Robins, Blackbirds and Yellowhammers.
Suitable for feeding from: This can be fed from a Seed Feeder, Bird Table or a Ground Tray Feeder

When sending your plant and note, please place in a reinforced package and do not bend after pressing. Remember, the pressed plant is very fragile.
Pressing plants is an inexpensive and effective method for preserving plants for later identification. The primary instrument used to press plants is a plant press. A plant press is traditionally constructed of two metal or wood grid frames approximately 12 X 18 inches. Inside each of the frames is a series of corrugated cardboard ventilators and paper blotters. The cardboard is approximately 1/8 inch thick. Paper blotters can be purchased from botanical supply houses, or folded newspaper can be used. The cardboard ventilators allow for airflow through the press, and the blotters hasten drying by removing moisture from the plant. The press is closed and pressurized by two belts around the outside. If you do not have a plant press, a good, heavy hardcover book will often suffice.
Place the plant in a half sheet of black ink newspaper. Do not use colored newsprint or it will color the specimen. Write your name, the date, and the location where the plant was found on the edge of the newspaper. (Please do not write on the print. It will be hard to read your notations.) Arrange the plant on a quarter sheet of newspaper so that the flowers are open, and the fruits and leaves are well displayed. All parts of the plant should be on the quarter sheet. Fold the other portion of the newspaper on top of your plant. Place the newspaper with the plant between two blotter sheets. Place the blotters with the plant between two cardboard ventilators. Finally, place the plant with the blotters and the ventilators between the frames and strap the press together. You can put several plant specimens into your press at one time. The press should be organized by ventilator – blotter – plant – blotter – ventilatorblotter – plant – blotterventilator – etc. Place your press in a warm, dry area with good airflow. The back window of your car often works. You may need to replace the blotters occasionally to facilitate drying.
Be careful handling the plants when they are pressed. They are very fragile.

Reservoir vs. Lake — What's the Difference?
Edited by Tayyaba Rehman — By Maham Liaqat — Updated on August 9, 2024
Reservoirs are man-made bodies of water created for specific purposes like water supply, while lakes are natural water bodies formed by environmental processes.
Reservoir vs. Lake — What's the Difference?
Difference Between Reservoir and Lake
ADVERTISEMENT
Key Differences
Reservoirs are artificial constructs, often created by damming rivers to store water for human use such as drinking, irrigation, or hydroelectric power; whereas lakes are naturally occurring bodies of water, typically formed by geological or environmental changes like glacial activity or volcanic activity.
The primary purpose of reservoirs is to manage water resources for human activities, ensuring supply during dry periods and controlling flood risks; while lakes primarily serve ecological roles, supporting diverse ecosystems and often becoming recreational sites.
In terms of biodiversity, reservoirs might have limited species diversity initially due to their artificial nature and the specific conditions created by water management practices; on the other hand, lakes often host a wide variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms that have adapted to their natural environmental conditions over millennia.
Reservoirs are usually monitored and maintained by governmental or private entities to meet human demands and safety standards, including regular checks on water quality and dam stability; whereas lake management might be less intensive unless they are part of a conservation or tourist area.
The water levels in reservoirs are generally controlled and can fluctuate significantly depending on human usage and seasonal cycles; in contrast, lake water levels are more influenced by natural factors like precipitation, evaporation, and inlet/outlet stream flows.
