Difference Between a Sleeper Sofa and a Futon
Sleeper sofas and futons are double purpose furniture that have become ubiquitous in modern homes that have limited space or who frequently have guests that stay overnight. Sleeper sofas and futons are also common in hotel rooms to increase sleeping capacity. They are a great way to save on space and are easy to transport. They are also a great way to save on money as one does not have to spend separate money for a couch and a bed. And since they are basically similar in function, sleeper sofas and futons today have very little difference in appearance, especially with modern innovation.
Although modern day sleeper sofas and futons are practically the same in their dual function, the two still differ from each other. Aside from their origins, the two differ mainly in materials used and their construction. Their dimensions are also usually different. More about these dual purpose furniture and their differences are discussed further in the succeeding sections.
What is a Sleeper Sofa?
A sleeper sofa, also called a sofa bed – although the terms are sometimes subtly differentiated, is furniture that is designed primarily as a couch but can be converted into a bed by some mechanism such as hinges or springs. Although there have been many innovations on beds to make them portable or to save space, the first furniture that truly doubles as both a couch and a bed was invented in the 1930's and is credited to Bernard Castro, an Italian immigrant to the United States.
The cushions of sleeper sofas are typically made of foam, while the frame is mostly metal. Foam is a soft but stiff material, so the cushions are made of separate pieces. Some of the cushions are attached directly to the metal frame while the other pieces are detachable, to be placed side by side once the frame has been converted to a bed. While some sleeper sofa frames have a hinged mechanism that allows the backrest to be lowered, most frames have a pullout mechanism under the seat. This overall design makes the sleeping mattress only half as thick as when it is in couch mode and does not give optimum comfort for sleeping.
What is a Futon?
A futon is either the traditional Japanese style of bedding, or the futon sofa bed adapted by western culture – the two being very different. The traditional futon, used by the Japanese since ancient times, is only for sleeping and at its simplest is actually a set composed of mattress, duvet and pillow but without a bedframe. When not in use, traditional futons are first aired out in the open, and then stored in closets. Meanwhile, the western futon is basically a variant of the sleeper sofa invented by William Brouwer in the 1980's.
The futon mattress, whether the traditional or the western futon, is typically made of cotton and is all of one piece that can easily be folded or rolled. The frame is usually made of wood, with a backrest that can be lowered, and a footrest or a hidden deck under the seat that can be raised. The mattress is usually thinner than the cushions of a sleeper sofa in couch mode but thicker when converted into a bed, making the futon more comfortable for sleeping.
Difference between a Sleeper Sofa and a Futon
A sleeper sofa is any type of sofa that can be converted into a bed. A futon is either the traditional Japanese style of bedding composed of mattress, duvet and pillow, with no bedframe, or the adapted western futon which is basically a variant of the sofa bed.
Main function
A sleeper is mainly sitting furniture, with the bed as its second function. The futon is primarily a type of bedding with the mattress serving secondarily as a seat cushion for a sofa.
The first truly dual function sleeper sofa was invented by Bernard Castro in the 1930's while the futon was adapted into western use by William Brouwer in the 1980's.
Mattress or cushions
A sleeper sofa cushion is typically made of foam; it is soft but stiff. It cannot be folded nor rolled; instead, it can be made into separate pieces. Futons are usually made of cotton, made of one piece and as such, they can be easy to fold or roll.
Frame designs
Sleeper sofas frame are usually made of metal and are of a pullout design, with the extension hidden under the seat. Western futon frames are typically wood made in a hinged design, with a backrest that can be lowered and a footrest or a hidden deck under the seat that can be raised.
Seating comfort
Sleeper sofas are usually more comfortable than futons as seats, with thicker seat cushions than futons.
Sleeping comfort
Sleeper sofas are less comfortable as beds since the mattress is thinner than that of futons when spread out.
Sleeper Sofas vs Futons
 - Sleeper sofas and futons are double purpose furniture that are very useful as both seats and beds in homes with limited space or as extra sleeping areas for guests staying overnight.
 - They are also cost saving furniture due to their dual function.
 - Sleeper sofas come in many designs but their main quality is that they are made as couches first before beds.
 - Futons are the traditional Japanese style of bedding composed of mattress, duvet and pillow, without a bedframe. It was a adapted into the western culture as a sleeper sofa, with the mattress serving as seat cushion.

The purpose of Washburn's report is to stimulate much needed rigorous research and lead to resolution of a many facetted problem that has long puzzled observers of Mima mounds and similar features. In doing so, Washburn lays out twelve critical characteristics of mounds and compares several of the existing hypothesis against this table in order to prove his thesis that all Mima-like mounds are not necessarily of the same origin.

Sustainable Financing for Climate Change through Community Forestry in the Prey Lang Landscape
Photo: Aerial picture of O Taneung community forestry
Community forest (CF) is a legally recognized framework that aims to place local people at the center of decision-making processes and natural resource management in Cambodia. The Cambodia Climate Change Alliance - phase 3 (CCCA3) funded by the EU, Sweden, and UNDP, has been supporting the Regional Community Forestry Training Center for Asia and the Pacific (RECOFTC) to pilot an innovative approach, introducing climate change actions into a community forestry credit scheme (2020-2022). The scheme is used to generate capital for community forestry activities that contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation, including forest restoration, patrolling, and financing sustainable livelihood activities of 10 CFs in Kampong Thom and Kratie Provinces.
The O Taneung community forest, one of the CFs supported by the RECOFTC covers 248 ha about 65 kilometers outside Kratie city in Northeast Cambodia. Local people manage the forest and harvest natural foods and medicines. The Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fishery (MAFF) recognized this community forest (CF) in 2012, and a 15-year agreement for a forest management plan was signed on 2015. Today, the community forest group has 245 members in Kbal Damrey Commune of the Sambo District in Kratie Province.
Since 2018, O Taneung has been running a community credit scheme that members of the community can borrow from to serve their livelihoods purpose and pay back with interest, which is used for community forest management. With CCCA support, the scheme has been extended and climate change-related activities have been introduced in the management plan.
"Tuy Sophon, chief of the credit scheme in O Taneung community forest, said the fund has already expanded from US$ 1,000 in 2018 to more than US$5,000 and now serves 58 out of 250 families from the forest community."
Photo: Tuy Sophon, Chief of the CF credit scheme, inspects O Taneung community forest
In July 2021, community generated income from interest in total amount of USD 69. Among that, USD 21 is used for implementing forest including patrolling and tree planting maintenance. As of now, he explained, the loans have mostly been to fund agricultural projects outside the forest, such as small investments of seed, fertilizer, and other materials used by the villagers.
Beyond this support to increasing CF credit capital, the project also successfully helped the O Taneung community to restore 10.8 ha of their community's degraded forest area during the Covid-19 outbreak, contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation for the local community. In addition, this replanting activity also provided much needed cash-for-work support to reduce the impact of Covid-19 for community members who participated in the tree planting.
"We lost our job during Covid-19," said Mok Sithon, a member of the community. "Joining with the project to plant trees has reduced the difficulty for us in some ways."

Ray Seakla and others hope the growing capital pool from the credit scheme, and the money made on interest, can fund more activities in the management plan, including the maintenance of the tree planting and the patrolling team monthly meetings.
"We are optimistic about the future of our community." Ray Seakla said. "We have sustainable funding, and we can plan for more activities to manage our forest."

Photo: Field assessment and data collection for developing a Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
Changes to global climate conditions aggravate the effects of temperature-driven hydrometeorological hazards, increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, often resulting in a greater risk of natural disaster. Floods continue to be the most damaging natural hazard in Cambodia, causing an estimated $355 million of losses in 2013 alone. Cambodian cities are underprepared to forecast, adapt and respond to these hazards, where the effects are further exacerbated by growing urbanization, a process that perturbs the natural hydrological cycle and enhances flood peaks by additional rainfall-runoff.
People In Need Cambodia (PIN), with support from the Cambodia Climate Change Alliance - phase 3 (CCCA3) funded by the EU, Sweden, and UNDP, is implementing a project on "Strengthening Climate Information and Early Warning System in Cambodia to Support Climate Change Resilient Development and Adaptation to Climate Change". The project aims to address the flood mitigation challenge by producing evidence-based recommendations for the Royal Government of Cambodia, mainly the National Committee for Disaster Management, to reduce the vulnerability of urban populations to climate change impacts by facilitating access to an innovative and effective urban Early Warning System (EWS).
During the first year of its implementation and despite operational challenges due to COVID19 travel restrictions, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for flood modeling was completed through the use of real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technology, utilizing tuk-tuks as a vehicle for data collection. The EWS information dashboard was developed to be multi-channel to disseminate flood information through phone calls, speakers, and Facebook posts. In collaboration with a local technology developer, a fixed public speaker concept has been developed. Flood warning messages will be shared from the EWS1294 dissemination platform, and these will be voiced through the fixed public speakers to the community in Battambang city.

Mrs. Lounh Kimla, a deputy village chief of Somphi 1 in Battambang City, said that the system [fixed public speaker] is a timesaving method for local authorities to inform the people. "The system [fixed public speaker] is a channel that people can access to get flood warning messages free of charge," Lounh Kimla added.

Red Bay is named for the reddish cliffs found along the local shoreline. Between 1550 and 1600, Red Bay was the site of Buttes, a major Basque whaling station. A whaling ship, the San Juan, lost in 1567 in Red Bay Harbour, is the oldest shipwreck north of the Caribbean and one of the best preserved. After 1600, the whaling station was abandoned mainly due to the reduction of the whale stocks.
In the 18th century, Red Bay was a Canadian fur trading post. Red Bay became a Newfoundland fishing station in the 1800s. The first census was in 1856, and it showed 72 people settled in Red Bay; it increased to 152 by 1891. Dr. Wilfred Grenfell helped to establish the first co-operative at Red Bay in 1896.
In the 1950s and 1960s, many families moved to Red Bay from outlying fishing stations, and in the 1960s the first road was constructed. By the 1970s, archaeological work began and this led to Red Bay becoming an historical site and making tourism an important industry for the town. Red Bay was incorporated as a town in 1973.

Preparing for the hearing
If you made a submission and indicated that you wished to speak to it, then make sure you reinforce your case by presenting to the hearing.
The hearing report
Before the hearing, Environment Southland compiled a hearing report – a 700-page document (called the section 42A report), which provides the Hearing Commissioners with a summary and analysis of submissions, and makes recommendations on possible amendments to the proposed plan.
The Hearing Commissioners don't have to agree with the recommendations contained in the s42A report, but it is still a useful tool to help understand how the submissions have affected council's thinking.
Can B+LNZ help me prepare for the hearing?
We ran eight workshops, to help farmers prepare. These covered:
- What you can expect at the hearing
- What makes a powerful farmer hearing statement
- How to gain traction with the decision makers
- A refresh on the key issues and a heads up on where council thinking is changing
- What to include in your hearing statement.
What if I missed the workshops?
The workshop resources included a booklet and videos, which you can download on this page. View the powerpoint presentation to pick up tips on how to be as effective as possible on the day.
Key areas to consider
We have created a summary of key areas you may which to address called "The Song Sheet". It covers:
- The policy/rule to consider
- What the notified plan said
- What B+LNZ submitted
- Environment Southland's recommendations to the hearing panel (s42A report)
- Some ideas for farmers to consider in their hearing statement
The eight key areas summarised in the song sheet are:
- Physiographic zones
- Pre-empting limit setting process
- Dairy conversion
- Intensive winter grazing
- Stock exclusion
- Cultivation setbacks
- Tile drains
- Farm Environment Plans


Scoped Step Definitions
Bindings (step definitions, hooks) are global for the entire SpecFlow project. This means that step definitions bound to a very generic step text (e.g. "When I save the changes") become challenging to implement. The general solution for this problem is to phrase the scenario steps in a way that the context is clear (e.g. "When I save the book details").
In some cases however, it is necessary to restrict when step definitions or hooks are executed based on certain conditions. SpecFlow's scoped bindings can be used for this purpose.
You can restrict the execution of scoped bindings by:
 - tag
 - feature (using the feature title)
 - scenario (using the scenario title)
The following tags are taken into account for scenario, scenarioblock or step hooks:
 - tags defined for the feature
 - tags defined for the scenario
 - tags defined for the scenario outline
 - tags defined for the scenario outline example set (Examples:)
Be careful! Coupling your step definitions to features and scenarios is an anti-pattern. Read more about it on the Cucumber Wiki
Use the [Scope] attribute to define the scope:
 [Scope(Tag = "mytag", Feature = "feature title", Scenario = "scenario title")]
Navigation from feature files to scoped step definitions is currently not supported by the Visual Studio extension.
Scoping Rules
Scope can be defined at the method or class level.
If multiple criteria (e.g. both tag and feature) are specified in the same [Scope] attribute, they are combined with AND, i.e. all criteria need to match.
Example AND tag scope decoration:
[Scope(Tag = "thisTag", Feature = "myFeature")]
If multiple [Scope] attributes are defined for the same method or class, the attributes are combined with OR, i.e. at least one of the [Scope] attributes needs to match.
Examples for OR tag scope decoration:
[Scope(Tag = "thisTag")] [Scope(Tag = "OrThisTag")]
[Scope(Tag = "thisTag"), Scope(Tag = "OrThisTag")]
Note: Scopes on a different level (class and method) will be combined with OR: defining a [Scope] attribute on class level and defining another [Scope] at method level will cause the attributes to be combined with OR. If you want an AND combination, use a single Scope, e.g.:
[Scope(Feature = "feature title", Scenario = "scenario title")]
If a step can be matched to both a step definition without a [Scope] attribute as well as a step definition with a [Scope] attribute, the step definition with the [Scope] attribute is used (no ambiguity).
If a step matches several scoped step definitions, the one with the most restrictions is used. For example, if the first step definition contains [Scope(Tag = "myTag")] and the second contains [Scope(Tag = "myTag", Feature = "myFeature")] the second step definition (the more specific one) is used if it matches the step.
If you have multiple scoped step definition with the same number of restrictions that match the step, you will get an ambiguous step binding error. For example, if you have a step definition containing [Scope(Tag = "myTag1", Scenario = "myScenario")] and another containing [Scope(Tag = "myTag2", Scenario = "myScenario")], you will receive an ambiguous step binding error if the myScenario has both the "myTag1" and "myTag2" tags.
Scope Examples
Scoped BeforeScenario Hook
The following example starts Selenium for scenarios marked with the @web tag.
[BeforeScenario("web")]
public static void BeforeWebScenario()
{
 StartSelenium();
}
Different Steps for Different Tags
The following example defines a different scope for the same step depending on whether UI automation ("web" tag) or controller automation ("controller" tag) is required:
 [When(@"I perform a simple search on '(.*)'", Scope(Tag = "controller"))]
 public void WhenIPerformASimpleSearchOn(string searchTerm)
 {
 var controller = new CatalogController();
 actionResult = controller.Search(searchTerm);
 }
 [When(@"I perform a simple search on '(.*)'"), Scope(Tag = "web")]
 public void PerformSimpleSearch(string title)
 {
 selenium.GoToThePage("Home");
 selenium.Type("searchTerm", title);
 selenium.Click("searchButton");
 }
Scoping Tips & Tricks
The following example shows a way to "ignore" executing the scenarios marked with @manual. However SpecFlow's tracing will still display the steps, so you can work through the manual scenarios by following the steps in the report.
 [Binding, Scope(Tag = "manual")]
 public class ManualSteps
 {
 [Given(".*"), When(".*"), Then(".*")]
 public void EmptyStep()
 {
 }
 [Given(".*"), When(".*"), Then(".*")]
 public void EmptyStep(string multiLineStringParam)
 {
 }
 [Given(".*"), When(".*"), Then(".*")]
 public void EmptyStep(Table tableParam)
 {
 }
 }
Beyond Scope
You can define more complex filters using the ScenarioContext class. The following example starts selenium if the scenario is tagged with @web and @automated.
 [Binding]
 public class Binding
 {
 ScenarioContext _scenarioContext;
 public Binding(ScenarioContext scenarioContext)
 {
 _scenarioContext = scenarioContext;
 }
 [BeforeScenario("web")]
 public static void BeforeWebScenario()
 {
 if(_scenarioContext.ScenarioInfo.Tags.Contains("automated"))
 StartSelenium();
 }
 }

Royal Botanical Gardens - 40 cents 1991 - Canadian stamp
- Quantity: 3 000 000
- Issue date: May 22, 1991
- Printer: Ashton-Potter Limited
- Scott: #1313
Prominent Canadian gardens are the subject of five stamps issued on May, 1991. Southern Ontario's Royal Botanical Gardens came into being as the result of the determination of two members of the Hamilton Park Board. Cecil V. Land and the Hon. Thomas Baker McQuesten wanted to create a "rival" to Britain's famous Kew Gardens. They suggested that a large tract of land near the Niagara Escarpment be set aside, and on November 12, 1929, the project began. The project provided hundreds of jobs during the Great Depression as men hauled rocks and soil to the location. Originally known simply as "Botanical Gardens" in 1930, King George V decreed that the designation "Royal" could be added and in 1941 the Ontario legislature passed the Royal Botanical Gardens Act, which established the RBG as an independent institution with scientific and educational objectives. Designer David Wyman and illustrator Gerard Gauci combined their talents to produce the designs.

EC Sales list – Getting it right!
What is an EC Sales List?
Any VAT registered business in the United Kingdom which supplies goods or services to VAT registered customers in another country within the European Union (EU), must report these supplies to HM Revenue and Customs.
An EC Sales List includes three separate pieces of information:-
- The customer's country code
- Details of the EU Customer
- The sterling value of the supplies made
During the specified reporting period (i.e. monthly, quarterly, annually) a line for each customer, for each type of supply, will need to be entered for all the VAT registered EU businesses that you have entered into transactions with. The details that you will need to enter will be already be set up in an easy to use format using H M Revenue and Customers online service:-
- Two letter country code – for example, France will be FR
- The customer's VAT registration number
- The value of the goods and services will need to be entered in sterling and not the foreign currency amount. Furthermore, these are to the nearest pound so no need to worry about pence!
- Finally, there is an indicator column where you need to let HMRC know whether you have supplied goods or services. Enter a '0' in the indicator column for goods or a '3' for services. You could also potentially have to enter a '2' where triangulation has taken place. This is where you have supplied goods but they were not handled by yourself and one of your suppliers has directly sent them to your customer.
All the bullet points above are summarised in this easy to follow table when submitting an EC Sales List:-
Checking VAT numbers
Before you go to the HMRC website to submit an EC Sales List, you must ensure that all your information is accurate. As a result, it is crucial that the EU VAT numbers that your customers supply you with are correct. It is surprising how often the incorrect information is supplied, so it's vital that you know these numbers are valid and you have confirmation that these customers are based in the EU.
It is extremely important that these EU VAT numbers are checked thoroughly. A popular website used for this exercise is _URL_ and will make sure that all this information can be verified in a quick and efficient manner!
This will apply for every new customer.
EC Sales Lists can be straightforward provided you know what you're doing and you anticipate it coming. Should you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I have a product table with a jsonb column named 'metadata' in a PostgreSQL 10 database. It's my first time working with documents and Postgres. jsonb values look something like this:
{
 "name" : "l33t shirt",
 "price" : "1200",
 "quantity": "60",
 "options" :
 {
 "type" : "radio",
 "title" : "color",
 "opts" : [
 {"value" : "red" , "price" : "-100" , "qty" : "30" },
 {"value" : "blue" , "price" : "+200" , "qty" : "10" },
 {"value" : "green" , "price" : "+300" , "qty" : "20" }
 ]
 }
}
Two questions:
1. How can I select a specific element in the "opts" array?
select metadata->'options'->'opts'->(element here) from product
where metadata->'options'->'opts' @> '[{"value" : "blue"}]'
2. How to update the "qty" (subtract from its current "qty") when one or more of them is sold?
Further links to guides / notes are appreciated.

 1. How can I select a specific element in "opts" array?
Use the index of the element number as instructed in the manual. For longer paths, the path notation is shorter:
SELECT metadata -> 'options' -> 'opts' -> 0 AS elem0
 , metadata #> '{options, opts, 0}' AS elem0_path
FROM product;
Gets the nth element, like the question title asks (JSON array index starts with 0). But your example indicates you actually want the element with "value":"blue". That's not as trivial. You could unnest the nested JSON array with jsonb_array_elements() in a LATERAL join and filter the one you want.
SELECT opt AS elem_blue
-- , metadata #> '{options, opts}' -> (arr.ord::int - 1) AS elem_blue2
FROM product
 , jsonb_array_elements(metadata #> '{options, opts}') WITH ORDINALITY arr(opt, ord)
WHERE opt ->> 'value' = 'blue';
Returns nothing if no matching element is found.
WITH ORDNALITY and elem_blue2 are not needed here, but demonstrate a technique we are going to use in the next step.
More explanation:
2.how to update the "qty" (subtract from its current qty) when one or more of them is sold?
Since Postgres 9.5, there is jsonb_set(). To update the value of the qty key of the first element:
UPDATE product
SET metadata = jsonb_set(metadata, '{options, opts, 0, qty}', '"29"', false)
WHERE ... -- some filter
Aside: Any reason your integer numbers in qty are stored as strings ("30"), not as numbers (30)?
To update the "blue" element, we determine the array index with the technique demonstrated above, plus some UPDATE magic to make the it fully dynamic:
UPDATE product p
SET metadata = jsonb_set(p.metadata, path, qty, false)
FROM product p1
 , LATERAL ( -- move computations to subquery
 SELECT ARRAY['options', 'opts', (ord - 1)::text, 'qty'] AS path -- fix off-by-one
 , to_jsonb((opt ->> 'qty')::int - 1) AS qty -- subtract here!
 FROM jsonb_array_elements(p1.metadata #> '{options, opts}') WITH ORDINALITY arr(opt, ord)
 WHERE opt ->> 'value' = 'blue'
-- AND ... -- more filters
-- FOR UPDATE -- see below
 ) opt
WHERE p1.product_id = p.product_id -- use PK for match
The last query writes a number to "qty" ('9'), not a string ('"9"'), assuming you fixed that as commented.
We need to list the table product in the FROM clause another time to allow the LATERAL join (which wouldn't be possible otherwise) - and self-join to it.
Note a tiny race condition. Under heavy concurrent write load, you might want to add a lock clause to the subquery (FOR UPDATE) to prevent other transactions from changing the row between the inner SELECT and the outer UPDATE. See:
But you shouldn't, really. As you can see, jsonb (or any document type for that matter) is ill-suited for regular updates to single attributes. That's cumbersome and comparatively expensive. A new row with a new version of the complete document has to be written every time. Use a normalized DB design instead, where only a comparatively very small row has to be rewritten and other parts as well as indexes remain untouched.
If only the quantity is updated regularly, you might move that to a 1:n table and merge it into the JSON document in a VIEW or MATERIALIZED VIEW. The redesign is beyond the scope of this question.

 - i was expecting you with your great answers.you answer with care.a:(i stored integer as strings by mistake,my bad). 1.in update query whats the best way to get current value of 'qty' and subtract desired amount from it on the fly? 2.i take your advise about changing design.but i cant figure it out.i think its okay to keep my products info in this document and just change parts require frequent updates.so what you suggest for options part?is it good idea to make 'qty' value point to a FK of another table that keeps all of item quantities?

 Dec 19, 2017 at 17:36
 - @ArashMoosapour: 1. I built that and some more into query. 2. Yes, separate 1:n table with scalar column. The redesign depends on the complete situation, I added a bit above. Dec 19, 2017 at 23:43
 - @ErwinBrandstetter all your answers are superb, will you write a book about advanced PostgreSQL some day ? Jul 31, 2018 at 11:46

text: The mathematical relationship (breakage equation) between the inlet and outlet particle-size distributions of a roller milling operation is described, and the breakage function linking the two is defined. The forms of the breakage equation and the breakage function are different for roller milling than for other comminution operations, such as hammer milling or ball milling. The breakage equation is discretised to give a matrix form, from which it is demonstrated that during roller milling of wheat, particles break independently of one another. This is an important assumption of breakage equations for many comminution operations and experimental results are presented, which confirm its applicability to the roller milling of wheat grains. Breakage matrices are successfully used to predict the outlet particle-size distributions from First Break milling of wheat. Later papers in this series consider the form of the breakage function.


Piotroski Score
DEFINITION of 'Piotroski Score'
A discrete score between 0-9 which reflects nine criteria used to determine the strength of a firm's financial position. The Piotroski score is used to determine the best value stocks, nine being the best. The score was named after Chicago Accounting Professor, Joseph Piotroski who devised the scale according to specific criteria found in the financial statements. For every criteria (below) that is met the company is given one point, if it is not met, then no points are awarded. The points are then added up to determine the best value stocks.

BREAKING DOWN 'Piotroski Score'
If a company has a score of 8 or 9 it is considered strong. If the score adds up to between 0-2 points, the stock is considered weak. Piotroski's April 2000 paper Value Investing: The Use of Historical Financial Statement Information to Separate Winners from Losers, demonstrated that the Piotroski score method would have seen a 23% annual return between 1976 and 1996 if the expected winners were bought and expected losers shorted. With any investment system, looking at past results doesn't always means it will work in the future, but having an investment plan and rules is never a bad idea.

Problems and Prospects of Vegetables Gardening In Machchhegaun: A Case Study
Keywords:Vegetable gardening, landholding, production, income, crops, land
Agriculture production contributes 32.60 percent of GDP in which vegetable contribution is 9.7 percent in Nepalese economy. This article triesto find out the conditions and state of vegetable production and productivity, including problems and prospects of Machchhegaun, one of the villages of ward no. 7 of Kirtipur Municipality. This village is good for vegetable production due to suitable climate, good topography, fertile land and market accessibility. Of the total arable land, only 6.9 percent is for vegetable production. However, its yield is higher as compared to other staple food crops like paddy, maize and wheat. This apparently shows that there is higher potentiality of vegetable gardening which can be helpful to fulfill the requirements of vegetables to the growing population of Kirtipur Municipality. However the farmers are facing many problems like that of lacking technical knowledge, lack of improved seeds, fertilizer, agriculture equipments and financials supports.

This empirical analysis deals with the determinants of growth and the explanation of variations in the growth between innovative and non-innovative start-ups. Based on theoretical models explaining the growth of firms, hypotheses on potential determinants are formulated. The regression results indicate strong correlations between the growth rate on the one side and firmspecific, founder-specific as well as external factors on the other side. These factors influence the growth rates of innovative and non-innovative young firms in different ways. It becomes obvious that large and mature firms have smaller growth rates than small and young innovative as well as non-innovative firms. Moreover, other firm-specific characteristics like legal form and formal links to other firms from Western industrialised countries have an impact on the development of start-ups. With respect to founder-specific characteristics, positive effects can be derived from the human capital of the founder(s). This holds especially for technological disciplines whereas business knowledge plays a minor role. In addition to firm and founder characteristics, locationspecific factors controlling for agglomeration effects and the industry structure in the Eastern German counties have an impact on growth. Comparing annual growth rates of start-ups, innovative start-ups grow on average faster than non-innovative start-ups.

 Mathcad 15 - Opening and Closing Areas Causes Other Fields to Move
 seetheforest Copper
 I feel like this is a bug in Mathcad, but I would love it if someone had a solution for this.
 I'm using a worksheet with multiple areas in Mathcad and I have noticed that after using the worksheet for some time, the text fields above the areas will "creep" upward or downward. Additionally if I move the text fields, the first motion they make is subtle, as if they had been placed inbetween a grid space and were put back on the nearest grid.
 I hope I am explaining this in a way that you all can understand. It's really annoying to set up a worksheet and constantly have to realign everything as you use it.
 I've made a sample worksheet for you to try. If you note the difference in the spacing between the title and the area before you open it and after you open it, you can see the difference. It is really small at first, but over time it creeps farther apart depending on what you are doing in the worksheet.

A dillybag or dilly bag is a traditional Australian Aboriginal bag, generally woven from the fibres of plant species of the Pandanusgenus.[verification needed]. It is used for a variety of food transportation and preparation purposes.
The dilly bag, otherwise known as yakou, yibali or but but bag, is a bag worn around the neck to hold food like berries, meat, fish etc. The Dilly bag is normally woven out of vines or tough dried grasses and sometimes had feather or animal fur inside the bag to stop small pieces of food falling through holes in the weave. Mainly used by women to gather food but can be used by men to help carry some tools for hunting.
Another use for the dilly bag (also named Mukurtu) was as a holder for personal or tribal artifacts. The "Dilly bag" term is also used to describe bags used by non-aboriginal Australians, for example a smaller food bag carried by swagmen along with their swags. The term is also used by Australians to describe similar bags for other purposes.

Create a customer deposits product and add it to the sales order twice with one having the positive value of the deposit scheduled and the other have the negative value backordered. Invoice the scheduled line and then schedule the backordered after.
In some industries, it's very common for a customer to have to put a deposit against an order. You can so by creating a line item on your order called "Deposit" and then applying a payment against it.
Steps to Track Customer Deposits:
- In QuickBooks, create a new GL account with the account type of Other Current Liability since these will be deposits that have not been applied to a particular invoice yet.
- After a sync, you can create a new Product Class in Acctivate. This product class will use the Customer Deposit GL account we just created.
- Next create the product for this Deposit. The item type should be Other Charge and the Product Class should be the one just created (In this case "Customer Deposits"). You'll also want to ensure that the cost method is set to None. The tax code will be your non taxable tax code.
- Create the sales order for the items. At the end of the sales order add your deposit item for the amount of the customer's deposit. Add the deposit again with a negative deposit amount. Set the scheduled quantity to be "0" for all the items except the deposit item. Our first invoice should only include the positive amount deposit item.
- Next, you will click Create Invoice. This will open the invoice window where you will record the deposit payment info. Acctivate will create an invoice for the deposit amount, in this case $25, and apply the payment to it. Both the invoice and payment will sync over into QuickBooks.
- In QuickBooks, the customer will have a zero dollar balance, however there will be a $25 entry in the Customer Deposits account. This amount reflects that you have $25 of deposits money which has not been used.
- After creating the first invoice in Acctivate, you will schedule the remainder of the order, which includes the negative deposit amount. This will reduce the balance of the order by the deposit amount. When you create your invoice, your customer will see the deposit being deducted which leaves a balance due of $75.
- After creating the invoice for the balance due and syncing it to QuickBooks, the customer balance will reflect the amount due and the Customer Deposits account will reflect zero dollars, indicating that we've use all of the customer deposit on hand.
|Other Current Liability - Customer Deposits||$25|
|Customer Sales Invoice with initial Deposit|
|Deposit Payment synced with initial Invoice|
|Sales - Widgets||$50|
|Sales - Gadgets||$50|
|Other Current Liability - Customer Deposits||-$25|
|Customer Sales Invoice for remainder of invoice|
Note: An alternative method would be to apply the customer payment created in QuickBooks to the sales order at the time of invoicing.

You can "bring colors" in your grid with respect of setCell method of jqGrid (see this answer as an example) or jQuery.addClass, jQuery.css (see this and this). You should do this after the grid contain is loaded, for example, inside of your loadComplete event handler.
If you want set background-color style on the cell you should understand one small problem. The class 'ui-widget-content' used for every grid row already defines the background-color per background style (!!! not per background-color). So to have effects you should make changes of the background-color style in one from the following ways: 1) just use background: yellow instead of background-color: yellow (see this). 2) remove 'ui-widget-content' class with jQuery.removeClass('ui-widget-content') (see this); 3) change style of the row more explicit like $("#"+rowid)[0].style.backgroundColor = "yellow" (see this as an example). Choose the ways which you prefer.

@Rakesh: You don't commented this answer. Is this want you want? You can use for example custom formatting (see trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:custom_formatter) to place the color in the date column. For example see a simple code in stackoverflow.com/questions/_PHONE_/… additionally to more complex stackoverflow.com/questions/_PHONE_/… – Oleg Nov 15 '10 at 12:34

hi, sorry for late reply.. i just now figured out how to do this.. here is what i did.. by using grid complete. gridComplete: function () {var ids = $("#list").getDataIDs(); for (var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {var cell = $("#list").getCell(ids[i], "WeekDay"); if (cell == "Sunday" || cell == "Saturday") { $(this).jqGrid('setRowData', ids[i], false, { background: '#086da1' }); // $("#" + ids)[i].style.backgroundColor = "yellow";}}} but one thing i noticed is that i was not able to achieve result with style.background.. the javascript was throwing some error..u can see the commented line – Rakesh Nov 16 '10 at 14:33

How to Modify Your Car to Run on Alcohol Fuel
How to modify your car to run on alcohol fuel
Last Updated on June 10, 2022 by Bernard Juchli
It feels strange that you can modify your car to run on alcohol fuel. Truthfully, alcohol can be your fuel source in the absence of gas. You will no longer experience a gas shortage, join the queue at the pump or get to pay higher fuel prices. Some farm tractor makers still produce alcohol engines. However, they are export only, so you do not get to see them around.
How to modify your car to run on alcohol fuel
Looking at the current state of international politics, you can see that imported crude oil is affected and the cost is always on the rise. With alcohol, you no longer have to rely on crude oil to power your vehicle. Apart from consuming alcohol during an event, it can also relieve the pain of refilling gas.
Meanwhile, nearly all gasoline-powered engines can run on alcohol as fuel and you require just minor and inexpensive engine modifications to get started. If you have decent mechanical skills alongside the hand tools, this engine modification would be even easier.
What Are the Different Types of Alcohol Fuel?
Some centuries ago, some automakers manufactured vehicles that run on alcohol fuel. The Ford Model T, for instance, could run on alcohol, gas, or both but this was not the case after top oil companies influenced manufacturers into using gasoline.
Below are the two types of fuel alcohol:
 - Ethanol
 - Methanol
To build your vehicle engine to run on alcohol fuel, ethanol alcohol is the best option. Ethanol is made by fermenting sugars from organic sugar materials, including rice, corn, wheat, and sugarcane.
Methanol, on the other hand, can be distilled from wood and is commonly used in Indy-type race vehicles. It can also be sourced from petroleum but is toxic and can result in ingestion. Although methanol can power your car engine, it produces less energy than ethanol.
Can You Distil Alcohol Fuel at Home?
Yes, you can distill alcohol fuel from home, and is perfectly legal. You can distill alcohol as low as 40¢ per gallon according to your still size, grain cost, and fuel you use for powering it. So, how do you make distilled alcohol? You may check Instructables' guide for creating distilled oil.
Alternatively, you can buy alcohol from most wholesale chemical supply companies. Alcohol you buy from a supplier is denatured, and this means that the manufacturer meets the government-approved standard make the alcohol unfit for consumption. Denatured alcohol should be treated like gasoline because it is poisonous and not fit for human consumption as food.
You would have to refer to the supplier to know the price but you can budget $1,000 (this price is stipulated and subject to change) for a 55-gallon drum of 200-proof ethanol. It is economical to purchase in bulk and save money. Most suppliers sell differently, so you want to compare the prices from various companies to save more money.
How to Modify Your Car to Run on Alcohol Fuel
For a start, you want to try this out on a vintage car. It also works on boats, lawnmowers, farm implements, emergency generators, and motorcycles. You can also buy a cheap car from Craigslist to test the project before extending it to your primary vehicle.
 1. Prepare your vehicle and conversion materials
Decide what car to use for this conversion. Of course, it must be a car that runs on gasoline. It should be your rickety but functional car.
If you have none, you can invest a few hundred dollars to get it online. You need an old car that barely runs or that you rarely use. Make sure not to use a vehicle you would need for transportation because the adverse effect of alcohol on the vehicle can stop it from running. Besides, you are not using gasohol here but alcohol which is far different from the gasoline your car is designed for.
The tools you basically need include the following:
 - Carburetor
 - Overhaul kit for carburetor
 - T valve
 - Manual choke kit
 - Fuel hose
 - Barb fittings (about 3) for fuel hose
 - Teflon tape
 - Sizeable gallon tank
 - Spark plugs
 1. Modify the fuel line
We assume that you have decided whether to make this fuel to alcohol conversion permanent or be able to use gasoline when it is readily available.
If you are converting your car to run on alcohol permanently, you have to modify the gas tank to alcohol. In this case, you will dry out and replace the gasoline with alcohol. You do not need a mixture of gas and alcohol. The reason is that both materials will not mix unless you completely get rid of water in the alcohol.
If you want the car to run on gasoline, then you want to install a dual-fuel system.
In this tutorial, we make the alcohol tank from a 5-gallon heavy-walled Nalgene plastic container. You can also use a metal container if you have any around. The size of the container depends on your car and what you want and you can mount it on the vehicle roof or trunk. Regardless of what you use for your alcohol tank, you need something sturdy, clean, and leakproof.
 1. Install a pickup tube for the fuel tank
You need to mount a pickup tube with a similar outside diameter as the existing fuel lines. You can measure the tube at about 1/16" from the bottom of your tank make it protrude at about 1" from the top. You will also need a vent tube for air to replace the liquid whenever it is consumed so that the tank does not collapse. Create a hole on the tank sizeable for the vent and fuel lines epoxy. You can also braze your pickup tube in place to the pipe plug depending on what material you use.
Install the tank. Place the tank where you want it in the car. Ensure to strap or fasten it securely to prevent the tank from overturning. You can weigh it in-between your back seats or anything to stop it from shaking. After mounting the tank, you want to make sure you can connect it to the existing fuel line. You can use a T-shaped valve, either the manual or electric valve with 2-3 inlets, depending on what you want.
 - Compatible with Luxe Neo Bidets (Neo 110, Neo 120, Neo 180, Neo 185, Neo 250, Neo 320) and Vi-110
 - Shut-off Valve gives ability to turn off or reduce/adjust the water pressure coming into the bidet
 - Ideal for households with children (bidet can be "locked" so it cannot be turned on by accident)
 - Size of 7/8" x 7/8" x 1/2" (The 7/8" ballcock thread is same as 15/16"-14UNS). Replaces the cold water t-adapter that comes with Luxe Bidet
 - Strong metal and ceramic valve with beautiful Chrome finish, for smooth and reliable operation
Mount the valve. You need to mount the valve somewhere practical. It can be on the inner fender or floorboard to keep the handle operational inside the car. In this case, you do not have to raise the hood whenever you have to switch from one fuel to another.
To reroute your fuel lines, you can use a fuel hose. Ensure to connect the hose to the T-shaped valve. You can use standard barb fittings and then apply Teflon tape on the threaded connections to prevent leaks. To install the T valve and change the fuel lines, mount the T valve wherever you prefer. You may have to install the barb fittings. Now, do the following:
 - Use the fuel hose to connect the alcohol to one of the T valve inlets.
 - On the inlet side of the fuel pump, remove the hose between the pump and the metal fuel line from the gas tank.
 - Using the fuel hose, connect the metal fuel line to the remaining T valve inlet.
 - Using a third length of fuel hose, connect the "T" valve outlet to the inlet side of the fuel pump.
You want to be sure that the lines are leakproof and secured without any moving component obstructing them. You can now switch between your fuel (gasoline and alcohol) system by flicking your valve.
 1. Disassemble your carburetor
The carburetor is the heart of your engine that feeds the appropriate air and fuel to the cylinders. We have the one-, two- and four-barrel carburetors. Note that every carburetor operates in the same way. Alcohol will burn efficiently with about a 9/1 ratio. What you want to do now after placing the tank is to remove, modify and replace the carburetor in this ratio.

In San Jose, California, stands an unlived-in mansion, a Victorian pile with 160 rooms, 40 staircases, 467 doors, and 10,000 windows. The house's eccentric chambers, tortuous hallways, and stairways to nowhere today stand as testament to the damaged, bereaved psyche of the lonely widow who designed it. Built on the tragic fortune of "the gun that won the West," this is the Winchester Mystery House, the inspiration and setting for Jeremy Blake's Winchester film trilogy. Melding Blake's signature digital abstractions with footage of the mansion, the work interrogates traditional cinematic modes of storytelling; cultural mythologies surrounding guns, violence, and the American West; and the relationship between physical and simulated reality in the digital age.
In this publication, curator Benjamin Weil considers the Winchester trilogy in the context of the artist's career, and architecture critic Mitchell Schwarzer examines the San Jose mansion and its surroundings as a peculiar convergence of three built environments: the Winchester house, the aging Century Theatres complex across the street, and the Mediterranean-style Santana Row commercial development. Lush plates presenting sequences from all three works are accompanied by artist statements that provide insight into Blake's myriad motivations and rich symbolic vocabulary.

Pupils are taking steps to get healthy by measuring how far they walk using pedometers.
Secondary-aged students at Doncaster School For The Deaf will be joined by staff as they attempt to each walk 50 miles, the equivalent of walking to Derby.
The project is part of the Healthy Schools campaign, which encourages schools and colleges to improve the health and well-being of children and young people.
Jane Goodman, deputy headteacher of the school, said: "This is a fantastic way for us to encourage healthy behaviour amongst our pupils. Many of them live a long way away from the school and therefore can't make the healthy choice to walk to school.
"Using pedometers lets them stretch their legs and do some exercise in a fun and interesting way. Our pupils can relate to the distance from our campus to Derby, so it made sense for us to choose it as our destination."
The distance from Doncaster School For The Deaf, on Leger Way, to Derby is about 44 miles as the crow flies, or 51.5 miles by road.
It would take the average person more than 16 hours to walk 50 miles and they would burn off between 4,000 and 5,000 calories in the process.

A framework for developing word fragment completion tasksHuman Resource Management Review (2013)
To broaden our understanding of the person-based phenomena that impact organizational behavior, researchers are increasingly making use of implicit measures. Explicit measures tap affect, attitudes, and self-concepts that are accessible to introspective awareness, which are sometimes unreliable or distorted by response biases. In contrast, implicit measures assess mental content and processes that operate outside awareness. Unfortunately, the ad hoc manner in which implicit measures are sometimes developed is problematic. As a way of improving research on implicit content and processes, we present a detailed and practical framework for developing one type of implicit measure: word fragment completion tasks. Such tasks have been successfully used to measure a variety of individual difference variables in previous organizational research. Our framework draws on previous research and well understood psychometric principles to describe a process for creating reliable and valid word fragment completion tasks.

Detect Grayscale Image In Python Opencv With Code Examples
In this article, we will look at how to get the solution for the problem, Detect Grayscale Image In Python Opencv With Code Examples
Is OpenCV and cv2 same?
cv2 (old interface in old OpenCV versions was named as cv ) is the name that OpenCV developers chose when they created the binding generators. This is kept as the import name to be consistent with different kind of tutorials around the internet.
from scipy.misc import imread, imsave, imresize
image = imread(f_name)
if(len(image.shape)<3):
 print 'gray'
elif len(image.shape)==3:
 print 'Color(RGB)'
else:
 print 'others'
import cv2
file = "myFile.jpj"
image = cv2.imread(file)
if image.any() != None:
 if(len(image.shape)<2):
 print ('grayscale')
 elif len(image.shape)==3:
 print ('Colored')
else:
 print("cannot find image")
Is grayscale same as black and white?
A grayscale image is a monochrome that uses the tonal range of gray. This is why a black and white image is grayscale, and that's also why the terms are interchangeable most of the time.
How do I know if an image is RGB or grayscale?
RGB image has 3 channels, grayscale image has 1 channel. @orbit It's in an ideal case. However, there can be a greyscale image with the 3-channel image (RGB) where R == G == B as mentioned in other comments.
How do I read an image in grayscale in Python?
Reading a GrayScale Image in Python using OpenCV
How do you use grayscale in Python?
Different Ways to Convert Image to Grayscale in Python
Does cv2 use RGB or BGR?
OpenCV uses BGR image format. So, when we read an image using cv2. imread() it interprets in BGR format by default. We can use cvtColor() method to convert a BGR image to RGB and vice-versa.
What RGB is grayscale?
The RGB scale is calibrated so that when a color's three red/green/blue numbers are equal, the color is a shade of gray. E.g. red=50 green=50 blue=50 is gray, without any bias towards red, green, or blue hue.
How do I know if my image is RGB or BGR Python?
If you are reading in the image file, or you have access to the code that reads in the file, know it is:
How do you find the gray level of an image?
1 Basic Notations. Gray-level images will be generally noted f, g, h… A gray-level image f is defined on a domain D included in the plan (or in the space for 3D images) and takes its values (gray levels) in the gray scale . For 8-bits images, and the 256 gray levels are in the scale of integers [0, …, 255].
How do I convert an image to grayscale using OpenCV in Python?
Method 1: Using the cv2. Import the OpenCV and read the original image using imread() than convert to grayscale using cv2. cvtcolor() function. destroyAllWindows() function allows users to destroy or close all windows at any time after exiting the script.

Category: Feature of Size
Maximum Material Condition or for short, MMC, is a feature of size symbol that describes the condition of a feature or part where the maximum amount of material (volume/size) exists within its dimensional tolerance. The callout also removes GD&T Rule#2 which states that all geometry tolerances are controlled independently of the feature size.
When you have a feature that Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is called on:
If it is a hole or internal feature: MMC = smallest hole size
If it is a pin or external feature: MMC = largest size of the pin
In each of these cases, the part will have the maximum amount of material that would be allowed within the part tolerances.
Max Material Condition is one of the dimensional limits on a part. The other side of the tolerance range would be the Least Material Condition.
The only GD&T Symbols where Max Material Condition can be applied are:
Reason for Use:
If you want to ensure that two parts never interfere, or limit the amount of interference between the parts when they are at their worst tolerances, MMC can be called out. Take a shaft that must go through a hole with clearance between the two.
The MMC of the shaft would be the Maximum diameter
The MMC of the hole would be its Minimum diameter
If you made sure that the MMC of the shaft was always smaller than the MMC of the hole, you guarantee there will always be clearance between the parts. This is important for any tolerance stack to ensure that when the tolerances are at their least desirable condition, the part still functions properly.
Gauging Max Material Condition:
Maximum material condition comes in handy when it comes to making a functional gauge for the part. If you want to limit the size of your feature, you can specify the max material condition call out additionally control it with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.
For example if you wanted to ensure that a pin always fits into a hole when the hole is at MMC, we could design a pin gauge that
mimics the lower limit of the hole. The gauge that controls the Max Material Condition of a part is called a Go-Gauge (Meaning the Part must always Go into it)
The Go-Gauge for a hole or internal feature would exist of a pin that is just a tiny bit (few microns) smaller than the Maximum Material Condition of the hole. The gauge pin would then be inserted into the hole and as long as the pin Goes into the hole, the part is in spec.
(Note: The pin gauge may be made slightly smaller (a few microns) than the MMC to account for any straightness or tolerance issues that may be inherent in producing the gauge)
*Remember when no GD&T is called on the hole the envelope principal applies – meaning the geometric and size effects of the hole cannot be larger or smaller than the tolerances specified.
Combination Gauging with GD&T Symbols
The true benefit of using the maximum material condition on a feature is the ability to call out GD&T with dimensional tolerances and be able to gauge for them at the same time. When geometric control and material control are used together, they form the true maximum envelope or virtual condition that the part can be in and still be to specification.
For example, you have a pin with a dimensional and perpendicularity call outs. The pin needs to be within both perpendicular enough and small enough so that it doesn't get stuck when inserted into its mating hole at a 90° angle to the face of the part. In this case all you really care about is the pin fits into the hole at the worst case limits (MMC and max perpendicularity tolerance make up the maximum envelope of the part)
The virtual condition can be controlled with a functional gauge. Functional gauges can be a huge benefit to production environments where measuring on the line quickly is critical.
Gauging for MMC with Geometric tolerances:
For the Gauging of a hole with perpendicularity call out:
Gauge Ø (pin gauge)=Min Ø of hole (MMC)–GD&T Symbol Tolerance
For Gauging of a pin with a perpendicularity callout:
Gauge Ø (hole gauge) = Max Ø of pin (MMC) + GD&T Symbol Tolerance
Note on Bonus Tolerance:
When a functional gauge is used for Perpendicularity, any difference the actual feature size is from the maximum material condition would be a bonus tolerance. The goal of a maximum material condition callout is to ensure that when the part is in its worst tolerances, the Perpendicularity and size of the hole/pin will always assemble together. This means that if you make a pin smaller, you make more bonus tolerance for yourself. This bonus can be added to the GD&T tolerance and would widen the perpendicularity tolerance.
Bonus Tolerance = Difference between MMC & Actual condition
Features of Size:
Maximum Material Condition is one of three features of size callouts in GD&T. The other two are Least Material Condition and Regardless of Feature Size. All of these specify the condition that the part or feature must be in to apply the specified geometric tolerance.
Default to Regardless of feature size
When there is not call out to Maximum Material Condition or Least Material Condition, the part, by default, is measured regardless of feature size (RFS). This means there is no bonus tolerance and the envelope of the part is not defined. The part must be controlled geometrically regardless of what size the feature is at.

Do tyres have expiry dates?
Tyres don't last forever, and old tyres can be a serious safety risk. As tyres age, cracks may form beneath the surface, causing the tyre to fail under load. If you haven't done so recently, it could be time to check how old the tyres on your vehicle are, and if they need replacing. Read on to find out how to check the age of your tyres and stay safe on the road.
What happens to old tyres as they age?
Tyres are made of various types of textile, steel and rubber compounds that have properties that evolve over time. As the rubber in a tyre gets older and is exposed to the elements, the strength of the bond between the rubber and the steel belts is reduced. When an old tyre is put under load, cracks in the rubber will begin to form.
These cracks may appear on the tyre's surface, but they can also appear out of sight within the structure of the tyre. Eventually, the cracking can even cause the steel belts in the tread to separate from the rest of the tyre. Driving on such a tyre is a serious safety risk.
tyre age marks
How to check the age of a tyre
How can I check the age of a tyre?
Check the age of a tyre by looking for the 10 to 12 digit serial tyre identification number, found on the tyre's sidewall. This identification number is usually preceded by the acronym "DOT", for example: DOT ELCB DKE 1800.
Tyres manufactured after 2000
If the tyre was manufactured after the year 2000, then you can determine its age by looking at the last four digits of this number. These represent the week the tyre was made, followed by the year. In the case of the serial number used above, the "18" would indicate the 18th week, and the "00" would indicate 2000. So, the tyre was manufactured in the 18th week of 2000.

Tyres manufactured before 2000
If the tyre was manufactured before the year 2000, things get a little more complex. For these tyres, age is indicated by the last three digits. Take for example the serial number DOT XYZ WT1 188. In this serial number, the 18 indicates the week the tyre was manufactured, while the 8 indicates the year of the decade. So, in this case, the tyre was made on the 18th week of the 8th year of the decade. During the 1990 – 2000 decade some tyres were marked with a triangle pointing to the last digit of the serial number in order to distinguish them from previous decades.

Still not sure of the age of your tyres?
Driving on old tyres can be a serious safety risk. If you're not sure how old your tyres are, pop into your local Bridgestone store, and ask one of our friendly staff for help.

Do tyres have an age limit?
Tyres should be removed once they reach ten years of age, regardless of appearance, mileage or actual wear. However, most tyres will need replacing before they reach the ten year mark. That's why it's important to keep a close eye on the condition of your tyres.
Take the time to regularly check your tyres' visual condition and inflation pressure. If you notice any visible damage or performance changes, such as cracking, increased air loss, or additional noise or vibration, it's time to have your tyres checked by a professional.
Along with your own regular inspections, we recommend that all tyres beyond five years old be inspected by a qualified expert at least once a year. Our staff can let you know whether or not your tyres are safe to continue using. If the tyres were original equipment on the vehicle, you should also follow the vehicle manufacturer's tyre replacement recommendations when specified.

The MIT Kerberos Consortium, a security authentication and authorization group, announced Monday that Microsoft has joined its shindig.
The consortium, which launched in September with Google, Apple, Sun Microsystems and a collection of universities, noted Microsoft is coming aboard as a founding sponsor.
Kerberos aims to offer consumers the same single sign-on authentication and authorization system that corporate America has been using to allow employees to access network services with one log-on. Kerberos is an offshoot of MIT's Project Athena, which was developed back in the 1980s.
Microsoft uses the Kerberos network authentication protocol in such products as its Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. And Kerberos also serves as the main authentication tool in Microsoft's Active Directory.
"Microsoft joining the Kerberos Consortium is significant," Stephen Buckley, consortium executive director, said in a statement. "They represent a vast number of users of Kerberos. It is an important step forward towards our common ambition to create a universal authentication platform for the world's computer networks."
What's next? Given its past troubles with its passport authentication efforts, is the next stop for Microsoft the Liberty Alliance Project?


If the airflow section of your tank is out of alignment, it can throw up some connection issues causing the coil to fail to read on your battery or device. Often this related to the device being dropped or knocked, but it's normally a straightforward process to put right.
The tank should appear straight and in alignment when you look at it head on. If you notice a slant, or sizeable gaps between sections of the airflow as pictured below, it's very likely that this is what's causing the issue.
It's an easy fix though:
 - Take the airflow off of your tank
 - Take the coil out of the airflow
 - Place the airflow on a solid surface
 - Push down on the airflow with plenty of force (easier to do by placing a heavy book on top). It might 'pop' as it slots back into position
That should be enough to realign the airflow, allowing for a solid connection between the tank/coil and battery, and resolve the issue.

What Is the Chemical Formula of Deodorant?
The chemical composition of deodorant products varies considerably. One compound found in some deodorants is glycerol, which has the chemical formula C3H8O3. Aluminium chlorohydrate, which is made of Cl-, or chloride ions, and Al3+, or aluminium ions, helps block pores to provide an antiperspirant effect in some deodorants.
Zinc oxide is another chemical compound found in many deodorant products. The chemical formula of this compound is ZnO, and it is also found in products such as sunscreen, bandages and ointments due to its astringent, topical protectant and antiseptic effects.
Many ingredients found in deodorants serve the purpose of controlling odor by combating bacterial growth. Depending on the product, these antibacterial ingredients can be anything from citronella oil to antibiotics. Benzyl benzoate is an antibacterial ingredient found in original Dove deodorant. It has the chemical formula C6H5CO2C6H5 and serves the dual purpose of keeping microbials from breeding in the underarms and keeping microbials out of the deodorant itself.
Other ingredients exist in deodorant to provide fragrance. Limonene, a hydrocarbon compound with the chemical formula C10H16, provides a citrus scent. It exists naturally in orange and lemon peels. Alpha-isomethyl ionone is an ingredient that can provide deodorant with a clean scent, while hexyl cinnamal has a chamomile fragrance.

In November, voters in California will vote on Proposition 2, which seeks to increase cage sizes for egg laying hens, pregnant pigs and veal calves. The new regulations, which would go into effect in 2015, would require cages to be large enough to allow these animals to be able to stand up, lie down, turn around and to be able to fully extend their limbs without touching the side of an enclosure or other egg-laying hens.
To show the size of some animals' quarters in large-scale farm operations, Oprah stands with replicas of cages and crates for each animal affected by Proposition 2. In an egg-laying hen cage, five to six hens could be in a single cage. The typical crate for a young male calf being raised for veal has enough room for him to stick his head out. Pregnant pigs—which can weigh more than 500 pounds—are about 5 to 6 feet long, while the cages they live in are about 7 feet long.
Those who support Proposition 2 say these animals have the right to more space during their lives. Opponents of Proposition 2, including farmers and industry representatives, say the new law would drive up costs, put farmers out of business and end the egg industry in California, and deny consumers the right to choose less-expensive food.
