Showcasing Manipulate[…] via .GIF animations
GROUPS:
When we create Manipulate or Animate and would like to showcase them on Wolfram Community site, a cool way is to make an animated GIF file of it. It would be also great if this GIF file could contain motion of controls, so people can see what they do. We can apply Export function to Manipulate with .AVI or .MOV or .FLV formats. This will make a movie that can show all motions of controls and content of Manipulate. But from a movie to a GIF there are just a few steps. This function below does these steps. It basically exports Manipulate to a movie, imports it as "ImageList", and then exports it again as a GIF. Because Mac and Windows have different native movie formats we need to auto-detect them. The result of the function is two files – one is a movie and another is an animated GIF saved in default directory. Here is the legend for arguments:
 - man - variable representing Manipulate
 - name - pure name of the file without any extension
 - step - which every frame to pick: 1 - original no compression, 2 – every 2nd compress twice, etc.
ManToGif[man_, name_String, step_Integer] :=
Export[name <> ".gif",
 Import[
 Export[name <> Which[$OperatingSystem == "MacOSX", ".mov", $OperatingSystem == "Windows", ".avi"],
 man],
 "ImageList"][[1 ;; -1 ;; step]]
 ]
Let's see how it works on an example. Here is a Manipulate with 4 controls: 2 sliders and 2 locators.
man = Manipulate[ContourPlot[
 q1/Norm[{x, y} - p[[1]]] + q2/Norm[{x, y} - p[[2]]], {x, -2,
 2}, {y, -2, 2}, Contours -> 20, PlotRangePadding -> 0,
 Frame -> False, PlotPoints -> 40, ImageSize -> 230,
 ColorFunction -> "DarkRainbow"], {{q1, -1}, -3, 3}, {{q2, 2}, -3,
 3}, {{p, {{-1, 0}, {1, 0}}}, {-1, -1}, {1, 1}, Locator},
 Deployed -> True, FrameMargins -> 0];
Here is the result of the function:
ManToGif[man, "charge", 2]
Any suggestions how we can improve this function?
 - To make it work faster
 - To make smaller .GIFs
 - Any other way…
P.S. - A few things to note:
 - Control the screen size of GIF by controlling size of Manipulate content.
 - The smaller the screen size, the smaller the byte size.
 - By default Export will generate an animation by running the Manipulate through one Autorun cycle.
 - AutorunSequencing is used when a Manipulate expression is exported using Export to a dynamic format.
 - Use AutorunSequencing to specify how autorun should use the controls provided.
 - When a Manipulate output containing explicit bookmarks is exported to a video animation format using Export, the resulting video will be one cycle through the sequence generated by Animate Bookmarks.

The function, ManToGif, is very interesting to me. It does not work on Mathematica 10.0.2 of Mac OS X Mavericks.
Would you give me a suggestion how to solve this problem?

Hi Yoshihiro Sato,
I have tried that on MMA 10.0.2 and OS X Mavericks and it is running without any problem. A little slow, but it does run.
Vitaliy, that is very useful. I have been using terminal commands such as convert to generate animated gifs. Promoted by your post I tried to find alternative approaches. I started out trying to use the GUIKit package
Needs["GUIKit'"]
but I failed miserably. I have, however, an alternative approach to yours. I am not saying that it is better in any way. I am just posting it because I think that the approach is different from yours. Also it runs a bit faster on my machine, it avoids exporting mov or avi files and it gives a lot of control over the slider movement. Here it is:
frames = Flatten@
 Table[Manipulate[
 ContourPlot[q1/Norm[{x, y} - p[[1]]] + q2/Norm[{x, y} - p[[2]]], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, Contours -> 20, PlotRangePadding -> 0,
 Frame -> False, PlotPoints -> 40, ImageSize -> 230, ColorFunction -> "DarkRainbow"], {{q1, n1}, -3, 3}, {{q2, m1}, -3, 3}, {{p, {{-1, 0}, {1, 0}}}, {-1, -1}, {1, 1}, Locator}, Deployed -> True, FrameMargins -> 0], {n1, -3, 3}, {m1, -3, 3}];
Export["~/Desktop/frames.gif", frames];
It lacks the elegance of your approach but it gives a video:
enter image description here
It should be easy to see how to change the positions of the locators etc in a predefined way.
Cheers,
M.

Hey folks, Marco has a great approach - thank you!
There is also a one-liner ala my original version. Use "AVI" for Windows and "MOV" for Mac:
images = ImportString[ExportString[Manipulate[x + y, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}], "AVI"], "ImageList"];
This makes the set of images that can be exported to a .GIF:
RandomSample[images, 8]
enter image description here
As you can see all controls are varied. Now tips.
How to define motion of controls. - read the tutorial: Introduction to Manipulate
One reason to care about the details of AutorunSequencing is that it is possible to use the Export command to automatically generate an animation video (in, for example, QuickTime or Flash format). By default Export will generate an animation by running the Manipulate through one Autorun cycle. If AutorunSequencing does not give you enough control over the animation sequence, you can use the Bookmarks feature to define a list of "way points" - combinations of parameter values - and then create an animation that smoothly interpolates through those defined points. This allows complete control over the exact path of the animation. When a Manipulate output containing explicit bookmarks is exported to a video animation format using Export, the resulting video will be one cycle through the sequence generated by Animate Bookmarks. (If no bookmarks are present, the result is one cycle of Autorun.)
To NOT display controls - use "ControlAppearance"->None, for example:
Export["file.mov",
 Manipulate[Plot[Sin[x (1 + a x)], {x, 0, 6}], {a, 0, 2}],
 "ControlAppearance" -> None]
Yet another interesting approach. - read docs on VideoFrames
Export["frame001.png", Manipulate[ . . . ], "VideoFrames"]
-- this exports list of frames in a defined format (.PNG in this example). Works in combination with discussed above Manipulate options.
I hope this helps!

Dear Vitaliy,
this is indeed very nice and useful. I was trying to implement something where I would have a Manipulate window. A Dynamic or RunScheduledTask would regularly check whether my Manipulate window has changed. If so, it would save a gif frame of the current Manipulate-window and save it into a frame-list. The advantage would be that you can manipulate the sliders directly and whatever you do would be "recorded" by the frame-list. Of course, I could use a program such as GifGrabber to just capture the Manipulate interface. But it is more fun to do it with Mathematica directly.
Cheers,
M.
PS: Did you mean use "AVI" for Mac and "MOV" for Windows?

How to Install a Hanging Mirror on a Door
Installing a hanging mirror on a door is a little different from hanging one on a wall. Hollow doors are not strong or dense enough to hold mounting screws, but you can support the mirror from the top of the door. With solid doors, a more traditional approach with screws should hold an average mirror. Extremely heavy mirrors are not suitable for hanging on a door, as the weight can cause the door to sag on its hinges.
Holllow Door Installation
 1. Use Over the Door Mirror Hooks
 2. Slip an over-the-door hanging hook over the top edge of the door, advises Mirror Coop.
 3. Attach the Wire to the Hook
 4. Hang the wire on the back of the mirror over the hook on the door. If the back of the mirror has a pair of D rings and no wire, string picture hanging wire between the two rings and twist the ends of the wire together until the wire is taut and secure.
 5. Stick the Bumper to the Door
 6. Peel the backing off a felt or rubber bumper and stick it to the door behind the mirror, toward the bottom edge of the mirror. It should be high enough behind the mirror not to show, but low enough to protect the mirror from bouncing against the door.
Solid Door Installation
 1. Position the Mirror
 2. Hold the mirror against the door where you want it to hang, with the back side facing out.
 3. Mark the Position
 4. Make a pencil mark on the door at the top of the mirror and at the left and right sides of the mirror.
 5. Take Your Measurements
 6. Measure the mirror from the top edge down to one D ring on the back. If the D rings have picture hanging wire strung between them, remove it.
 7. Measure down from the mark you made on the door for the top of the mirror to the location of the D ring, using the measurement you took in Step 3. Mark the door again at that location.
 8. Use a Level
 9. Place a 4-foot level horizontally against the door, aligning the upper edge of the level with the pencil mark you made for the D ring. Adjust the level, centering the bubble. OOK by Hillman recommends tracing the edge of the level onto the door with a pencil.
 10. Place the level vertically on the door and align the edge with the pencil mark you made for the left side of the mirror. Adjust the level until the bubble is centered, denoting that the line is plumb or vertically straight. Trace the edge of the level with a pencil until it intersects the level horizontal line. Repeat to make a vertical line on the right side.
 11. Take Your Second Set of Measurements
 12. Measure the mirror from the left side straight across to the center of the closest D ring. This measurement denotes where the left mounting screw goes.
 13. Measure across the horizontal line from the spot where the left vertical line intersects it, and mark the spot where the left mounting screw goes, using the measurement you took in Step 8. Repeat for the mounting screw on the right-hand side.
 14. Drill Pilot Holes
 15. Drill pilot holes into the door to a depth of approximately 3/4 inch at the mounting screw marks. Use a power drill and a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw shank.
 16. Install Wood Screws
 17. Insert a 1-inch, coarse-thread wood screw into the door at each pilot hole using a Phillips head screwdriver. Leave the screw head raised up from the surface of the door approximately 1/8 inch.
 18. Finish Installing the Mirror
 19. Hang mirror on door by lowering the mirror onto the screws until the D rings catch the screws.
 20. Things You Will Need
 - Over-the-door-style hanging hook or wreath hanger
 - Picture-hanging wire (optional)
 - Adhesive-backed felt or silicone bumpers
 - Pencil
 - Measuring tape
 - 4-foot level
 - Power drill
 - Small-diameter drill bit set
 - 1-inch coarse-thread wood screws
 - Phillips head screwdriver
 Some mirrors have hanging mechanisms such as ribbons or cords that are only decorative and not intended to bear the weight of the mirror. Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions, and use special hardware when recommended or provided.

Badgeyay project is now divided into two parts i.e front-end of Ember JS and back-end with REST-API programmed in Python. One of the challenging job is that, it should support the uncoupled architecture. Now, we have to integrate Heroku deployed API with Github which should auto deploy every Pull Request made to the Development Branch and help in easing the Pull Request review process.
In this blog, I'll be discussing how I have configured Heroku Pipeline to auto deploy every Pull request made to the Development Branch and help in easing the Pull Request review process in Badgeyay in my Pull Request.
First, Let's understand Heroku Pipeline and its features. Then we will move onto configuring the Pipeline file to run auto deploy PR.. Let's get started and understand it step by step.
What is Heroku Pipeline?
A pipeline is a group of Heroku apps that share the same codebase. Each app in a pipeline represents one of the following steps in a continuous delivery workflow:
A common Heroku continuous delivery workflow has the following steps:
- A developer creates a pull request to make a change to the codebase.
- Heroku automatically creates a review app for the pull request, allowing developers to test the change.
- When the change is ready, it's merged into the codebase Default branch.
- The Default branch is automatically deployed to staging for further testing.
- When it's ready, the staging app is promoted to production, where the change is available to end users of the app.
In badgeyay, I have used Review App and Development App steps for auto deployment of Pull Request.
Pre – requisites:
- You should have admin rights of the Github Repository.
- You should be the owner of the Heroku deployed app.
- For creating a Review App, Below mentioned files are needed to be in the root of the project repository to trigger the Heroku Build.
Now, I have fulfilled all the prerequisites needed for integrating Github repository to Heroku Deployed Badgeyay API. Let's move to Heroku Dashboard of the Badgeyay API and implement auto deployment of every Pull Request.
Step 1 :
Open the heroku Deployed App on the dashboard. Yow will see following tabs in top of the dashboard.
Step 2 :
Click on Deploy and first create a new pipeline by giving a name to it and choose a stage for the pipeline.
Step 3 :
- Choose a Deployment Method. For the badgeyay project, I have integrated Github for auto deployment of PR.
- Select the repository and connect with it.
- You will receive a pop-up which will ensure that repository is connected to Heroku.
Step 4 :
Enable automatic deploys for the Github repository.
Step 5 :
Now after adding the pipeline, present app get nested under the pipeline. Click on the pipeline name on the top and now we have a pipeline dashboard like this :
Now for auto deployment of PR, enable Review Apps by filling the required information like this :
Verify by creating a test PR after following every above mentioned steps.
Now we are all done with setting up auto deployment of every pull request to badgeyay repository.
This is how I have configured Heroku Pipeline to auto deploy every Pull request made to the Development Branch and help in easing the Pull Request review process.

Saturated pool-boiling experiments at 1 atm and subatmospheric pressure assess the utility of fine-filament screen-laminate enhanced surfaces as effective bubble nucleation sites. Experiments were conducted on vertically oriented, multilayer laminates in saturated distilled water at pressures of 0.2–1.0 atm. The performance of 12 different copper-filament surfaces, having pore hydraulic diameters ranging from to , is documented. Experimental results show that boiling performance is a strong function of screen-laminate geometry. In the present work, enhancement of up to 27 times that of an unenhanced surface was obtained at a superheat of 8 K and a pressure of 0.2 atm. Dimensional analysis and multiparameter regression are used to develop a heat transfer correlation that relates the boiling heat transfer coefficient to the lamination geometry.

DOT Physicals
What is a DOT physical?
A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exam is a medical exam required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for commercial motor vehicle drivers. DOT physical exams help determine whether a commercial vehicle driver is physically and mentally fit to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). DOT physical examinations help test the general wellness of a professional driver and screen for any mental or neurological medical conditions that may affect a driver's ability to safely operate a vehicle. You must pass a DOT physical to receive a commercial driver's license (CDL).
Who needs a DOT physical exam?
People who are looking to become professional drivers must pass a DOT physical exam before they can receive a CDL. This includes truck drivers bus drivers. You must pass a DOT physical if you:
 - Operate a commercial motor vehicle with a gross combination weight of more than 10,000 pounds.
 - Operate a motor vehicle that carries more than 15 people.
 - Are paid to operate a motor vehicle that carries more than 8 people.
 - Transport hazardous materials that require the vehicle to have a hazmat placard.
Are CDL physicals the same as DOT physicals?
Yep! A CDL physical exam is the same thing as a DOT physical exam. You must pass a DOT physical in order to obtain a commercial driver's license. A DOT physical ensures that you are physically and emotionally fit, with the mental acuity, to drive a commercial vehicle.
What does a DOT physical cover?
DOT physical exams assess your ability to safely operate a commercial vehicle. If you pass a DOT physical examination, you will be given a Medical Examination Report and a Medical Examiner's Certificate. The DOT physical will cover:
Medical history: You will need to provide medical records that display your medical history. The examiner will also ask questions about the medication you take, surgeries you've had, and substances you may use (like drugs, alcohol, and tobacco).
Physical examination: Your examiner will perform a full physical evaluation to assess your eyesight, hearing, and blood pressure. The doctor will determine whether you have any underlying conditions.
Urinalysis: You will be asked to take a urine test to screen for health conditions such as diabetes.
Most health conditions will not keep you from passing a DOT physical for your CDL. There are, however, a few conditions that may disqualify you, including:
 - High blood pressure
 - Epilepsy
 - Some cases of sleep apnea
 - Poor vision that cannot be corrected
 - Deafness that cannot be corrected with hearing aids
 - Diabetes
 - Irregular heartbeat
 - Heart or lung disease
If you can manage some of the conditions listed above, you may still be able to pass a DOT physical. The medical examiner will ask questions about how you manage such conditions, and how they affect your daily life.
How do I find a DOT physical near me?
Right here!
Connect on Sesame with a doctor qualified to conduct DOT physicals {inLocationNameOrNearYou}} for an affordable, upfront price. Sesame works with doctors - not insurance companies - who post upfront, cash prices for their services. Save 60% on your DOT physical with Sesame. No copays, hidden fees, or surprise billing - just quality care.
How much does it cost to get a DOT or CDL physical examination?
DOT physicals usually cost around $80-$100. These are one-time prices that will usually be listed upfront by the clinic.
On Sesame, DOT physicals start at $71. Connect with a doctor in Raymore, MO to get an affordable, quality physical today.
How long does a DOT physical take?
The DOT physical is a very routine physical exam, so unless any serious health concerns are found, the entire exam will only take about 30-45 minutes. To prepare for your DOT physical, it is recommended that you bring eyeglasses/contacts, hearing aids, medications, or other medical devices that you regularly use. Having this information on hand will help speed up the process.
What is a DOT medical card?
The DOT medical card is another name for the medical examiner's certificate. This certifies that you are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to operate a commercial vehicle. You must receive a medical examiner's certificate to be able to receive a commercial driver's license (CDL).
How long is a DOT medical certification valid?
If you pass your DOT physical exam, you will be given a medical examiner's certificate that is valid for two years. If you happen to have a condition like diabetes or high blood pressure, you may be required to take a DOT physical exam every year. If this is the case, you will be informed during your first physical exam.
So affordable. So simple. So easy to use.

Body-color brake lamps are lamps that in their off state match the body color of the car. When energized, all body-color lamps, as well as conventional lamps, appear bright red. The speed of response to a body-color brake lamp may differ from the speed of response to a conventional lamp for two reasons. The first is that the difference between off-and on-state luminances varies primarily with off-state luminance. When the difference is larger than for the conventional lamp, the increased luminance contrast may speed reaction time. The other reason that responses for the two types of lamps may differ is the greater chromaticity contrast that body-color lamps have between their on and off states.
This study separately evaluated the effects of luminance contrast and chromaticity contrast for body-color brake lamps. One set of chromatically neutral lamps of varying lightness (from black to white) was tested, along with a set of chromatically varied lamps of equal lightness, and a conventional lamp. The lamps were tested pair-wise in a dual-task paradigm where one task involved simple compensatory tracking, and the other task was to respond to the onset of either of the two brake lamps. Reaction times were recorded.
The primary findings are statistically significant effects of both luminance contrast and chromaticity contrast on reaction time to brake lamps. Neither of these effects is large; the difference between fastest and slowest mean reaction times was 33 msec. The effect of luminance contrast is such that lamps that are light in their off state yield slower reaction times. Performance with the lightest lamp in this study was slightly worse than performance with the conventional lamp. None of the chromatic lamps degraded performance relative to the conventional lamp. The pattern of responses to the chromatic lamps suggests that for all lamps that are different from red in their off state, the effect of chromaticity contrast will be to speed up reaction time slightly compared to the conventional lamp.

Energy pulsing
You can configure the meter's energy pulsing LED or digital output for energy pulsing applications.
When the LED is set to energy pulsing, the meter sends a readable pulse or signal based on the measured energy. This pulse can be used for accuracy verification or as an input to another energy monitoring system. You must calculate your pulse values as either pulses per kWh or as kWh per pulse, as defined by your meter, and set the energy value as delivered or received active, reactive, or apparent energy.

The White Oak Tree burning.
She called on the Sun for life and the ancient White Oak Tree, one of Nature's eternal objects, for immortality.
The White Oak Tree (Quercus alba) is one of Nature's eternal objects. Its wood is the only thing which can kill an Original Vampire. It comes from the genesis of the vampire race and is the source of their immortality.
History
WOT3
Esther called upon the White Oak Tree in a spell to make her family immortal. As a consequence of the spell, the wood from the White Oak Tree could kill the Originals. Thus they burned it but Mikael managed to carve a stake from the tree before its destruction.
300 years after the Originals left the New World, the natives planted a new tree and around 1912, the tree was cut down by the Salvatore family so that its wood could be used to build Wickery Bridge.
Season Three
It was revealed by Rebekah that a new tree was regrown and worshiped 300 years after the Originals fled the New World and burnt down the original White Oak Tree. Rebekah discovered this after seeing the markings on the cave walls underneath the Lockwood Mansion, and she subsequently told Klaus about this.
In Break On Through, Damon finds out that the White Oak Tree was used to build Wickery Bridge. From this information Sage tells Rebekah and Rebekah burns down the bridge. However Damon finds a sign made from the White Oak Tree and gives it to Alaric to carve stakes from it.
Novels
 - In Dark Reunion, Meredith's grandfather makes mention of White Ash Wood. It is revealed that Klaus can be hurt only with White Ash Wood, so Stefan made a spear from it to fight Klaus, but it is not confirmed whether Klaus can be killed with the ash because Elena defeats Klaus before the confirmation.
Gilbert Journal Entry
"The wood from one tree and one tree alone, an ancient white oak would bring death to an Original Vampire. When the tree burnt, all hope was thought lost. But the ash from the tree was saved and Witches forged a dagger which the ash could be bonded. This alchemic bond provides the necessary poison. It must be brandished by Humans alone for it would bring death to all Demons who wield it. As long as the dagger stays in place, the Original for all intents and purposes is dead."
Trivia
 - It is mentioned in the Gilbert Journals that a group of witches saved the ashes of the White Oak Tree and created the White Oak Ash Daggers to bond it with.
 - According to the markings on the cave under the Lockwood Mansion, a sapling of the White Oak Tree was planted three centuries after the Originals burnt it down.
 - In 1912, the Salvatore family cut down the sapling and used its wood to build Wickery Bridge.
 - Despite being the source of the Originals' immortality, its destruction had not killed them in comparison to how Elena's death killed Alaric. It appears as if the White Oak Tree is truly an eternal object as its power transcends death itself even after its own.
 - However, at every point in the history of the Originals, a fragment of the tree had always been present. Mikael had a stake carved out from the original tree that lasted until very recently. In 300 years, a sapling from the original tree was planted which ultimately yielded the wood for Wickery Bridge, subsequently ending up as 12 White Oak Stakes - one of which was made indestructible. So, in a way it is inconclusive whether or not somehow destroying the last piece of White Oak could lead to the deaths of the Originals and the vampire race.
 - Quercus alba (the white oak) is actually very common in the eastern portion of North America; though the prevalence of it in the TVD universe is unknown.
 - Presumably, the reason why another White Oak Tree appeared in history after the Originals destroyed the original White Oak tree was because of Nature needing to find balance, since it demands that everything dwelling in existence must have a mortal flaw, and that the Originals threatened to upset that balance without the existence of the one thing that could kill them, similar to how Doppelgänger are born.

We report first measurements of a single-shot method through which the properties of an electron beam at linac energies may be studied using the spontaneous emission of a micro-wiggler. The setup is simple and the measurement efficient. A simple set of scaling laws describe the natural line width, energy spread and divergence broadening of spontaneous emission in a narrow bandwidth radiation cone. A systematic series of experiments were performed with the MIT Microwiggler at the Accelerator Test Facility at BNL which demonstrated the response of the cone to changes in the beam quality. Estimates of divergence were obtained from the measurements of the radiation cone.

This paper describes a new stress-intensity factor (SIF) solution for an external surface crack in a sphere that expands capabilities previously available for this common pressure vessel geometry. The SIF solution employs the weight function (WF) methodology that enables rapid calculations of SIF values. The WF methodology determines SIF values from the nonlinear stress variations computed for the uncracked geometry, e.g., from service stresses and/or residual stresses. The current approach supports two degrees of freedom that denote the two crack tips located normal to the surface and the surface of the sphere. The geometric formulation of this solution enforces an elliptical crack front, maintains normality of the crack front with the free surface, and supports two degrees of freedom for fatigue crack growth from an internal crack tip and a surface crack tip. The new SIF solution accommodates spherical geometries with an exterior diameter greater than or equal to four times the thickness. This WF SIF solution has been combined with stress variations common for spherical pressure vessels: uniform internal pressure on the interior surface, uniform tension on the crack plane, and uniform bending on the crack plane.
This paper provides a complete overview of this solution. We present for the first time the geometric formulation of the crack front that enables the new functionality and set the geometric limits of the solution, e.g., the maximum size and shape of the crack front. The paper discusses the bivariant WF formulation used to define the SIF solution and details the finite element analyses employed to calibrate terms in the WF formulation. A summary of preliminary verification efforts demonstrates the credibility of this solution against independent results from finite element analyses. We also compare results of this new solution against independent SIFs computed by finite element analyses, legacy SIF solutions, API 579, and FITNET. These comparisons indicate that the new WF solution compares favorably with results from finite element analyses. This paper summarizes ongoing efforts to improve and extend this solution, including formal verification and development of an internal surface crack model. Finally, we discuss the capabilities of this solution's implementation in NASGRO® v10.0.

Merriam Webster defines curb weight as:
the weight of an automobile with standard equipment and fuel, oil, and coolant
Why is this weight called a vehicle's curb weight?
share|improve this question
This is given in the sense of "parked at the curb" (i.e., with no passengers or luggage, etc.). See curb weight. – Robusto Jan 9 '13 at 16:07
It's a bit like the street value of drugs :) – coleopterist Jan 9 '13 at 16:09
I agree with Robusto. Dry weight, unladen weight and tare weight are used too. – user32480 Jan 9 '13 at 17:05

Definition and etymology
Curb weight (US) or kerb weight (UK) is the weight of a car parked at the kerb with standard equipment, oil, water, coolant, petrol but without passengers or goods. Some definitions say a full tank of petrol, but some just say some petrol. It comes from the idea of a car parked by the kerb and ready to go, but waiting for passengers and extra luggage.
The earliest example in the OED is of the UK spelling in 1958, but Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (2004) dates the US spelling to 1949 but I found examples in the early 1930s (and possibly in the late 1920s).
This is a snippet of Society of Automotive Engineers Transactions (1929), so the date could be wrong (but it looks ok). It contrasts "Curb weight, sedan" with a heavier "Weight, with driver and observer":
Curb weight, sedan 3300 lb.
Ignoring snippets, the first verifiable examples are from almost identical adverts in the April 1933 editions of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics:
The Pontiac Economy Straight Eight has a wheelbase of 1 1 5 inches; the curb weight (4-door Sedan) is 3265 pounds.Pontiac's 115' wheelbase and 4-door Sedan curb weight of 3265 pounds assure real big car riding comfort.

It's the weight of the vehicle, parked at the side of the road (at the curb), ready to go, but without any passengers or cargo.

I'm curious how the car got to the curb without fuel, oil, and coolant. :) – Luke Jan 9 '13 at 16:55
Curb weight includes those things. Compare "dry weight". – Alex Feinman Jan 9 '13 at 16:56
_USER_ Hah! You're right - I read the definition wrong. Then this does make sense. – Luke Jan 9 '13 at 16:57

| Here's a puzzle for you CLOS and MOP wizards.
 I'll try to answer, anyway.
| Is there a way to have a slot variable that is inherited as a class
| allocated variable in the sub-class?
 sorry to be so elaborate, but do you mean as in this example:
(defclass foo ()
 ((zot :allocation :class)))
(defclass bar (foo)
(eq (setf (slot-value (make-instance 'bar) 'zot) (cons nil nil))
 (slot-value (make-instance 'bar) 'zot))
 should yield T?
 if so, you're in luck, because this is already the specified behavior of
 shared slots, _unless_ you create a new slot with the same name. here's
 what the HyperSpec says on this issue (7.5.3):
 A consequence of the allocation rule is that a shared slot can be
 shadowed. For example, if a class C1 defines a slot named S whose
 value for the :allocation slot option is :class, that slot is
 accessible in instances of C1 and all of its subclasses. However, if
 C2 is a subclass of C1 and also defines a slot named S, C1's slot is
 not shared by instances of C2 and its subclasses. When a class C1
 defines a shared slot, any subclass C2 of C1 will share this single
 slot unless the defclass form for C2 specifies a slot of the same name
 or there is a superclass of C2 that precedes C1 in the class precedence
 list of C2 that defines a slot of the same name.
 hope this helps.

In assessing reduction of concrete strength under irradiated conditions, reference levels are introduced: 1×1020 n/cm2 for fast neutrons and 2×1010 rad (2×105 kGy) for gamma-rays. Concrete structures are regarded as sound as long as irradiance levels accumulated during long-term operation are less than the reference levels.
Most experimental investigations of irradiation effects on concrete were performed in the 1960's and 1970's. However, there is no good explanation of how concrete deteriorates under neutron and gamma-ray irradiation.
Hilsdorf put the primal irradiation test data together to investigate effects of irradiance levels on residual strength ratio of concrete. The reference levels were obtained from his paper. However, the test conditions in which the data quoted by Hilsdorf were obtained are very different from the irradiation and heat conditions usually found in a Light Water Reactor (LWR).
This paper summarizes the interactions between radiation and concrete components and presents the results of gamma-ray irradiation tests on cement paste in order to provide a better understanding of the deterioration mechanisms of concrete under irradiation and heat conditions in LWRs.


How to do smooth shading using my own color set
I need to fill a triangle, but i do not want to use the method supplied by opengl, which is: specify a color value of the vertex and put the pixel, opengl will do all the things. My problem is that: if i have specified the color of each three vertex, i need to fill the inner part use my own color table, say 1024 color entries. For example, if vertex 1 is color 012, vertex is color 500, then i need to fill the pixel between them using the color from 012 to 500 in my color table, not the one that calculated by opengl. how can i implement it?
I want to do something similar. Smooth shading does not do the trick. Have you solved the problem? Have you tried Color-Index Mode? What about 1-D texture? Thanks.
Use a 1D texture for this.
To specify a color you use a texture coordinate.
If you need multiple terms you can use 2D or even 3D texture if you have it.

What is a standard implicature?
A standard implicature is a conversational implicature based on an addressee's assumption that the speaker is being cooperative by directly observing the conversational maxims.
Example (English)

palomino horse, American light horse that, contrary to popular opinion, is not a breed but a color type. The palomino is a characteristic golden, creamy tan, with an almost white mane and tail. White stripes on the face and white stockings are common. This coloring occurs in several breeds of light horse. Palominos were probably first selected for their beautiful color in Spain. They accompanied the conquistadors to the New World, where they were perpetuated by early Mexican horse breeders. They were discovered by Americans in California during the Mexican-American War, and are now popular parade and show horses; fanciers in the United States are trying to establish the palomino as a breed. Palominos have Arabian or Thoroughbred features, stand about 15 hands (60 in./150 cm) high, and weigh about 1,100 lb (500 kg).

Animal Species:Cape York Sheathtail Bat
Very little is known about Cape York Sheathtail Bats in Australia. They are also found in Papua New Guinea.
Cape York Sheathtail Bats seem to roost in tree hollows in Australia, but in New Guinea they are known from limestone caves.
Feeding and Diet
Cape York Sheathtail Bats eat beetles, flying ants, grasshoppers and moths. They fly high and straight over the top of trees in open forests hunting for prey.
Cape York Sheathtail Bats are vulnerable to destruction of roost sites in hollows trees by clearing for agriculture and changes to feeding areas by agricultural activities.

A charity is predicting tens of thousands of stray or abandoned dogs could need help as a result of the coronavirus pandemic - and warns it's already starting to see the impact of the Coronavirus crisis.
Dogs Trust has said demand for puppies has soared during lockdown, with Google searches for 'buy a puppy' increasing by 166% since lockdown was announced on March 23.
But as the UK braces itself for the full economic impact of the pandemic, the charity is warning we could see a sharp rise in the number of dogs being given up or put to sleep if families struggle to cope with the resulting hardships of the crisis.
Dogs Trust estimates we could see up to 40,000 more stray or abandoned dogs in need of help, especially if we see a financial crisis on par or worse than the crash of 2008, which saw a 25.6% increase in stray and abandoned dogs the year after.
Last year, the charity's annual Stray Dog Survey found that 46% of dogs in local authority kennels were left with nowhere to turn and needed the support of welfare organisations like Dogs Trust. However, if enough safe rescue shelter space cannot be found for dogs taken in by local authorities, euthanasia rates could also increase by up to 25% in the next year as was seen in 2009 following the recession – meaning over 1,800 dogs in local authority shelters could be put to sleep unnecessarily.
Owen Sharp, Chief Executive of Dogs Trust, said: "In these extraordinary times we know that circumstances can change in a heartbeat. The sad reality is that in times of financial hardship many people struggle to cope with looking after their pets, and the number of abandoned dogs has gone up. We saw this in 2008, and we're extremely concerned that history could repeat itself in the coming months.
"We've already taken a number of dogs in from owners who have sadly passed away from or been hospitalised with COVID-19. We're doing everything we can to minimise the impact of this crisis on dog welfare, and would urge anyone needing to give up their dog to please turn to us first, and we'll do everything we possibly can to help you and your dog.
"But we know the worst is yet to come and, like all charities, Dogs Trust is being hit hard by this crisis. We're very grateful for the donations we have received and for this continued support. This will help us be there for as many dogs as possible and navigate the months and years ahead."

Abstract: The Good Gambler: State Regulation and Public Debates on Futures Trading in British India and Germany, _PHONE_
Debates about the legitimacy of futures trading were omnipresent in the highly integrated world economy of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. In this paper, we compare those debates in Germany and British India, two countries that were extremely diverse in their economic and political context and in the way they regulated futures trading. Germany was the first country worldwide to ban futures trading in selected commodities, while it remained largely unregulated in British India. Despite the formally different outcomes, we show that the respective debates resembled each other in many ways: in both countries futures exchanges were private organizations controlled by a small and in many ways privileged group of traders. In both countries these minorities were based on social ties and de facto controlled access to futures markets. Both groups were also faced with criticism because they were able to realize profits that a majority of people had no access to. Reviewing the debates we show that the main issue was not the legitimacy of futures trading but rather the distribution conflicts among the various interest groups that were engaged in futures trading.

Sometimes, it might be necessary to bind a string of raw HTML. In this case, the ngBindHtml directive can be used in the same way as ngBind. The only difference will be that it does not escape the content in a secure way, which allows the browser to interpret it.
In order to use this directive, we will need the angular-sanitize.js dependency. It brings the ngBindHtml directive and protects the application against common cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Where does NFA get the device IP from?
Devices will not show up in the NFA GUI with the network address. Network engineers must just a source address.
Environment
Release:
Component: NQRPTA
Resolution
To choose a source address you must choose an active interface with an IP Address on the device to source the flow.
Traditional Netflow example:
router1 (config)# ip flow-export source loopback0
Flexible Netflow example:
router1 (config)# flow exporter EXPORTER-1
router1 (config-flow-exporter)# loopback0
If a network engineer changes the source address, NFA will treat the new address as a separate router.
Recommendations:
 - Use the loopback address
 - Don't switch source addresses if you don't want data to split over different devices.

text: Data replication increases data availability in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Preventing data loss and increasing data availability in MANETs is a nontrivial problem due to their low-cost hardware, harsh working environments, node mobility, failure of mobile devices from battery exhaustion and node compromise attacks. In addition, different routing algorithms and larger size of the network can cause communication links to fail creating several disjoint partitions which causes data loss. The typical fault-tolerant systems would fail in these conditions. Existing approaches fail due to the limitations caused by their dependence on lower node mobility or constrained by node distribution, unpredictable partitions and routing mechanisms. In this paper, we propose Combinatorial Replication and Partition (CORP) of data which is a combinatorial arrangement with pair wise balanced design property to prevent data loss and increase data availability. Our scheme provides low access latency and reduces communication overhead. By partitioning and replicating data in such a combinatorial arrangement, our scheme directly supports object-oriented constructs in distributed fault-tolerant networks.

Molecular evolution in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is conventionally diagnosed by observing molecular spontaneous emission (SE). In this work, laser-induced molecular fluorescence (LIMF) was introduced to investigate molecular evolution in laser-induced plasma. Aluminium monoxide (AlO) was taken as a typical example for demonstration. AlO molecules in the X2Σ+ state were stimulated by a 484.82 nm laser beam, and then 510.21 nm fluorescence was observed. Compared with conventional SE in LIBS, the proposed LIMF demonstrated that it took more time to fully combine aluminum and oxygen atoms to AlO molecules. Moreover, the longer lifetime of the AlO in plasma was observed.

Network architecture for large-scale CVE
Jiang, Bo Hong
Date of Issue2000
School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
This dissertation begins with a literature survey of the considerations for CVE system, data distribution and related works. A hybrid client-server with peer-to-peer audio/video communication network architecture is then proposed and implemented to address the issue of potential server bottleneck. The proposed architecture solves the Acting Server's potential bottleneck problem for including video/audio communication in CVE systems. Through directly streaming media communication between users, the workload of Acting Server is reduced tremendously. Thus each Acting Server can maintain the static and dynamic data efficiently, handle more simultaneous access to the same virtual environment, and make the system more robust and fault tolerant. It provides a solution to scalability of CVE system that supports audio/video real time communication.

The coronavirus pandemic has had a massive effect on schools around Berkshire.
There have been numerous cases of pupils being sent home after positive coronavirus tests since the start of the pandemic.
Some schools have also had to close completely for deep cleaning and others have had to send massive amounts of pupils into self-isolation.
For example, at the time of writing there are around 200 pupils at Maiden Erlegh School in Silverdale Road, Earley, who have been sent home after positive tests there, prompting one parent to question why schools are open at all.
Managing schools has been extremely difficult for headteachers and staff, especially as the future of 2021's GCSE and A level exams remains uncertain.
What the uncertainty has prompted is parents in towns like Reading, Windsor, Maidenhead, Bracknell, Wokingham and Slough, to question whether the pandemic might have any impact on the Christmas holidays.
BerkshireLive email updates: We bring the stories to you
BerkshireLive put the question to the Department for Education.
A spokesperson said there are measures in place which do allow schools to change their holidays if they feel the need. They said any changes to holidays would have to be agreed with the local authority.
For example, a school in Berkshire could add a week to its Christmas holidays if it felt the need, but it would mean shortening another holiday like Easter to balance out.
But the spokesperson stressed, in terms of government policy, there are no plans at all to have a blanket change to the Christmas holidays.
They said: "We are prioritising children's and young people's education and wellbeing, by keeping nurseries, schools, colleges and universities open.
"The Chief Medical Officer remains of the view that schools should remain open, and has highlighted the damage caused by not being in education to children's learning, development and mental health.
"There are no plans for schools to break up for Christmas early."
Local authorities in Berkshire also said they would follow government guidelines on any changes, but stressed there were no plans at the moment from any school.

The Lowry Schools Appeal
This July we are running 'The Lowry Schools Appeal'. We want to raise £5,000 that will be matched up to a further £5,000 by Alison and Noel Copley, founders of The Copley Prize.
Hear from Jenny - our director of Learning and Engagement
Help us to raise £5000
This year more than ever, primary school children need to benefit from creativity to develop their imagination, spark creativity and bring curriculum subjects to life.
Funds will support The Lowry's schools outreach programme to visit 10 schools in areas of Salford that have had limited or no previous engagement with the arts and The Lowry. Our experienced artists will go in and deliver workshops for over 700 pupils, leave the school with a hamper of free art materials, and resource packs to enable teachers to roll out similar workshops throughout the school. This activity will run from September 2021.
or send a cheque made payable to 'The Lowry Centre Trust' to FAO Kate Rice, Lowry Schools Appeal, The Lowry, Pier 8, Salford M50 3AZ.
All participating pupils can also submit an entry to The Copley Prize, our prestigious art competition for children aged 4-11, with the winner seeing their work professionally exhibited for a year in The Lowry Galleries next to LS Lowry's most celebrated works of art.
"Did you know you can use dirty rubbers to draw like LS Lowry? Did you know you can draw with the side of your pencil? We worked with a real artist. Michelle asked us questions and they were easy because we were learning about Lowry in class. Next, we made a looking log and a cross for the street. I didn't believe my eyes! After that we drew a cat and a dog and factories."

Detailed information about Coin: Half Cent 1885 from North Borneo
The British North Borneo Company had the right to produce coin under its Royal Charter, granted in 1881. It had 1 cent coins struck in England from 1882 and 1/2 cent pieces from 1885. These coins were linked to the silver dollar as used in the Straits Settlement and Hong Kong.
Although there was another production of this denomination made in 1907, the 1891 issue of half cents seems to have been the last to have seen widespread circulation. In _PHONE_ the Company moved from the use of bronze to copper-nickel, issuing 1 cent and new denominations of 2 1/2 cents and 5 cent in that metal; the 1/2 cent was not continued.

text: Soil being natural and non-manufactured material has proven itself to be most potentially problematic and complex materials to tackle with. The complexity does not arise only because of soil as a material, but also by the fact that various methods to characterize the soil for estimations of constituents, behavior and strength are potentially difficult. In this paper , a study on the effect of stone columns on the behaviour of cohesive soils has been done, it was found that the installation of the stone columns plays a very significant role in improving the bearing capacity of the cohesive soils. The main improvement in cohesive soils takes place by virtue of densification while inserting the stone column, the increase in drainage also plays a great role. The length of the stone columns was found to greatly influence the behaviour of the improvement of the soils. The improvement is very significant for a length of 1B where B is the width/diameter of the footing.

UPDATE: TCSS mandates masks for students
Published 6:08 pm Thursday, July 16, 2020
The Troup County School Board adjusted its back to school plan at Thursday night's school board meeting to require masks for all students and staff members.
The school board's original plan, which was discussed Monday and officially unveiled Wednesday, highly recommended masks but did not require them. Every board member spoke in favor of requiring masks during Thursday's virtual meeting, and the board chose to approve the back-to-school plan, with the addition of requiring masks.
Every board member spoke about the masks as a needed safety precaution to ensure that teachers and students stay well this upcoming school year.
"I'd much rather it be said that we blew it by requiring the masks than it be said that we blew it by not requiring [masks]," said Board Member Allen Simpson while referring to the school system's mission statement, which mentions keeping students safe.
Board Member Cathy Hunt said she had heard from several teachers since Monday, and all of them were in favor of requiring masks.
"What I want parents to understand is if teachers don't stay healthy, if our teachers get sick, there's not going to be much choice for everybody to have traditional school," Hunt said.
Other board members made the point that if a school had a COVID-19 case, or several cases, one of the first steps would be to require masks.
"If we were to make masks optional, and we got a sick school, the first thing we would jump in and do is require masks," said Board Member Joe Franklin.
The board and Superintendent Brian Shumate said that they recognize traditional school as the best learning environment for most students, and requiring masks makes that environment safer.
"I want to be able to answer all those questions too," Shumate said. "Have we done everything that we possibly know to ensure safety? And I want to be able to check all those things off my list and look people in the eye and say that we did everything we could to keep kids safe and to get back to some normalcy."
Hunt said TCSS understands that the health of a particular student might not allow for mask wearing. She said the school system is willing to work with those students and their parents on an individual basis.
Brooks and Franklin both expressed concern that teachers might have to spend a lot of time policing masks, but they both felt it was best to approve the mask mandate.
The rest of the back to school plan includes an option for traditional or online school. TCSS was expected to open up a spot on its website Friday so that parents could choose if they wanted their child to take part in the Troup County Virtual Academy. Students who were taking traditional classes didn't need to do anything, according to TCSS.
The entire 18-page document is available to be viewed below. Note that the document has not yet been updated to include the verbiage for mandatory masks.

Description of Telemetered Gauging Station
Station Number G9070142
Station Name: McArthur River at Baileys Grave
This site is located on the McArthur River, 500m downstream from the Tablelands Highway McArthur river crossing It was established in 1965, as part of a program to investigate the water resources in the Northern Territory. It has since been incorporated into the Departments' Flood Warning Telemetry Network, providing near 'real time' river height and rainfall data for the downstream communities of McArthur River mine and Borroloola.
The instrumentation at the site measures river height recorded in metres to a local gauge datum (GD). This data is relayed back to the Departments' Hydrographic unit in Darwin via telemetry on a regular basis.
The maximum recorded river height at this station was 9.187m, recorded in February, 2001.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, a day to raise awareness of and reduce the stigma of drug-related deaths. It's important to recognize that women, trans and non-binary people who are unhoused and/or living in unsafe situations are impacted significantly by the drug poisoning epidemic across Canada. There is a need for gender-specific harm reduction services that recognize and respond to the intersection of substance use, gender-based violence and other forms of inequality that shape the lives of women, trans and non-binary people. This blog will discuss the Safer Drug Use Space, a new pilot program in Hamilton, Ontario, which was developed specifically for women, trans and non-binary people.
The YWCA Hamilton operates a transitional living program and overnight drop-in space for women, trans and non-binary people without children in their care. Over the past few years, the YWCA Hamilton has been responding to an increasing number of drug poisonings and overdoses across programs and has grieved many lives lost because of a toxic drug supply.
In direct response to the drug poisoning crisis in Hamilton, the YWCA Hamilton, Keeping Six and the Hamilton Social Medicine Response Team (HAMSMaRT) came together to develop and pilot a new program designed to support women, trans and non-binary people who use drugs and are without housing. In April 2022 they opened the Safer Drug Use Space in an existing overnight drop-in program and transitional living program operated at YWCA Hamilton.
The YWCA Hamilton partnered with Keeping Six (Hamilton Harm Reduction Action League), a community-based organization that defends the rights, dignity and humanity of people who use drugs led by people who use drugs. This partnership allowed for the development of a program that integrated peer workers. This program also incorporates the perspectives of people with lived/living experience(s) of homelessness and the needs of people who use drugs in Hamilton. The HAMSMaRT is a group of health care providers who believe that health is political and who aspire to remove barriers to clinical care. Through a partnership with HAMSMaRT, the Safer Drug Use Space has ongoing support from allied healthcare providers and an on-site Safer Supply Clinic.
The Safer Drug Use Space is operated through an exemption provided by Health Canada and the Office of Controlled Drugs and Substances, as an Urgent Public Health Needs Site (UPHNS). The Safer Use Drug Space operates every night from 10 p.m. to 9 a.m. Guests can bring their own illicit drugs into the space, get access to clean harm reduction equipment, consume substances (inject, ingest or snort) and be monitored for at least 20 minutes after consumption by both a YWCA Hamilton staff and a worker from Keeping Six.
It is common for individuals to stay longer than 20 minutes, to connect with staff and each other. Snacks are provided along with an opportunity to create art.
"The special thing about our safer use space that makes it stand out from others is that it's for women, trans and non-binary people exclusively and there's not a lot of that. I am proud to say that I am a part of this from the beginning. To be able to watch it grow and to connect and build relationships with other women from all walks of life in a space where everybody feels safe is such a privilege." - Danielle (Dani) Deloitinville (Keeping Six)
Since opening its doors, the Safer Drug Use Space has connected many women, trans and non-binary people to a range of supports and services including:
- Crisis support following gender-based violence
- Emergency reproductive healthcare services
- Mental health services
- Gender-affirming healthcare services
It is so much more than just a safer space to use drugs - it is a point of connection for people who have been excluded from accessing other services and shelters because of their substance use.
In the first four months since opening, we have had 109 unique women and non-binary people access our space. We have supervised 1,071 injections and reversed 14 drug poisonings/overdoses. We have had 0 calls for EMS or police to our space.
We believe that Safer Drug Use Spaces are an important part of a low-barrier approach to supporting people experiencing homelessness in shelter services, housing programs and drop-ins. This approach to care saves lives and keeps people who use drugs safe and connected to services.
We encourage other organizations who are interested in learning more about how to integrate Safer Drug Use Spaces into their programs to reach out to Mary (Safer Use Space Coordinator/Community-Based Researcher) at _EMAIL_.

Why a User Admin cannot remove users from a group
I don't understand why a user that has been granted the User Admin role cannot remove users from a group. To me this seems like a permission any User Admin would need, If I trust them enough to create users, assign apps and groups, Why wouldn't I trust them to remove a user from a group?
This makes no sense to me, Can someone shed some light on why a User Admin cannot remove users from groups?
api-workday api-workdayapi-workday api-workday
Hi Tom,
I've always assumed it is because of the diverse number of things that adding a user to a group can trigger.
Beyond obvious and awknowledge application assignment:
 - Being assigned to an application through a group can be used to prepopulate specific attribute values for the application user assignment.
 - Group assignment can be used to push a user to a directory (create an AD User)
 - Groups can be configured as push groups so adding a user to an okta group can subsequently add the user to an AD Group
Jonathan WinnJonathan Winn
Hi Tom,
When we have discussed this with Okta previously, the concept of managing a group wasn't included in this role as it was just focused on the management of users only. As a result of that conversation, a feature request for granular user access permissions was logged as we like you want to be able to add/remove users from groups without having to grant god access! We used a group to enable our Service Desk to bypass MFA for users if they forgot their mobiles. They could add the user but could never remove them. The role appears to have been tweaked again now so that adding users to group isn't even possible now.
If you want flexibility to grant your admins access to what they need to, please support the feature request!
Thanks,
Jonathan

How to connect multiple Laser systems to the computer
Connection scheme:

1. Use standard LAN-cable (Ethernet-cable), minimum of standard CAT-5 (most cables are), and connect the LAN interface of each laser ...
switch wiring
2. ... to the network switch. Any standard, modern network switch is suitable.
daisy chain LAN signal
3. Depending on the Laser system it can also be possible to daisy-chain the LAN signal ...

4. ... if the Laser has two or more LAN connectors.
computer control multiple lasers
5. Make sure to use the correct ports (usually marked as LAN / computer / ShowNET / Control or similar).
Not into Interlock
6. Do NOT plug the signal cables into the Interlock port!
Interlock is only for the E-Stop or the Interlock-bridge plug!
LAN-to-computer
7. Connect the network switch to the computer using a LAN cable.
LAN-to-computer multi switch
8. Easily extend the network with adding more network switches. They just pass the signal on.

A. Quick and easy connection with Auto-IP (recommended method!)
The quickest and easiest way to connect the laser with the computer is via Auto-IP. This means that the Laser and the Computer negotiate the communication addresses and each gets a suitable address assigned automatically.
To do so, nothing has to be changed on the computer. It is only necessary to tell the laser that it should negotiate addresses.
 1. Configure the network operation mode:Turn the selection rotary dial until the cursor points to the menu item "Operation mode" and press it once to expand the menu options:
 FB4 main
 2. Turn the rotary dial until the cursor points to the desired operating mode (Beyond/QS) and press it once. The selected operation mode (Beyond/QS) is now active:
 FB4 OP mode Beyond QS
 3. Turn the selection rotary dial until the cursor points to the menu item "Operation mode" and press it to close the menu item.
 4. Turn the selection rotary dial until the cursor points to the menu item "Network Setup" and press it to expand the menu item:
 FB4 BYQS Network Settings
 5. Turn the rotary dial until the cursor points to "Auto IP".
 6. Press the rotary dialonce. The selected network mode (Auto IP) is now active.
 7. Turn the selection rotary dial until the cursor points to the menu item "Network Setup" and press it to close the menu item.
 8. Turn the selection rotary dial until the cursor points to the menu item "Exit Menu" and press it to save all settings and values on the SD card.
If the settings of the computer have been changed or are non-standard, follow these instructions to reset it back to automatic address negotiation. You usually can skip this if you have no idea or haven't changed anything.

icon howto How to set the computer to Auto-IP addressing
 1. Press the Windows-key and type "control panel" (without quotes; this can also be done througn the search bar) > Click on "Control Panel" > Click on Open.

 2. Click on "View network status and tasks" under "Network & Internet".

 3. Click on "Change adapter settings"

 4. Right click the network adapter > Click on "Properties".

 If there are multiple icons in this window, the correct one is usually labeled with "ethernet". It also should have the little network connector icon. Note that it may also have a red "X" if it's disconnected or not properly configured.
 5. Select the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) option > click the "Properties button".
 image
 6. Select "Obtain an IP address automatically" to let the computer automatically negotiate the IP address.
 image

B. Connect via Static IP (manual configuration mode)
It often makes sense to work with permanent, specifically assigned identifiers per laser in a production environment. The Laser mainboard can be assigned a static IP address to avoid address changes when the network infrastructure is altered. There is no general advantage over the use of Auto IP or DHCP, but sometimes users prefer to use a static IP.
icon howto What's an IP address?
Any device connected to a network environment, such as computers, printers, smartphones and also lasers, no matter if it's a wired connection or wifi network, has a unique identification number. This unique address is the so called IP address.
The IP address type used for the communication with the laser systems consists of a group of 4 numbers (each between 0 and 255), separed by a point (".") symbol. It looks like this:
_URL_
Schematics example of an IP/v4 address:
ip address schematics
If devices shall communicate with each other, they need to reside in the same address range, which means that the first 3 numbers must be the same. The fourth number, however, must be unique for each device in the network.
In a home or office environment the computers and hardware components usually get these addresses assigned automatically by the so called DHCP server, which included in the utmost of routers or wifi access points. That's why it is usually not necessary to take care of setting these addresses manually. However, if there is no DHCP server available, the devices in a network either need to negotiate the suitable addresses for each device between each other (so called Auto IP) or they requrie static IP addresses the be manually set.
As there is usually no DHCP available at show production sites, laser show settings may require either Auto IP setting or static IP.
Show production companies tend to use static IPs, as then the address distribution does not depend on any additional communication between the devices in the network and each unit can be checked on more specifically through the network and various tools.

 1. What is an IP address and how does it work:
 Schematics of an IP/v4 address:
 ip address schematics
 Each laser must be given a different IP address in the same IP address range (see scheme above). Never give the same IP address to different devices in one network!
 This also applies for the computer: The IP address assigned to the computer MUST have a different ending ("D" in the Schematics) than any of the lasers.
 Attention! If a WiFi connection is used on the computer at the same time as the laser control, make sure that the address range (the first part A,B,C; see schematics) is different to the range that is used for the lasers.
 icon howto Determine IP addresses if Wifi and laser control shall work at the same time
 To check on the IP addresses, click on the Wifi network icon in the taskbar > click the Wifi network you're connected to > Properties.
 wifi symbol
 In Properties, look for the IP address listed next to IPv4 address.
 Note: The first 3 numbers of the IP address (the address range, see schematcs) must be different for the wired connection to the laser. For example:
 - Computer's Wifi has an IP of 192.168.0.X -> use any IP like 192.168.1.X or 192.168.2.X or 192.168.254.X
 - Computer's Wifi has an IP of 192.168.1.X -> use any IP like 192.168.0.X or 192.168.2.X or 192.168.254.X
 - Computer's Wifi has an IP of 192.168.2.X -> use any IP like 192.168.0.X or 192.168.1.X or 192.168.254.X
 - Computer's Wifi has an IP of 192.168.254.X -> use any IP like 192.168.0.X or 192.168.1.X or 192.168.2.X
 - Computer's Wifi has an IP of any other number different that 192.168.X.Y -> use any IP like 192.168.0.X or 192.168.1.X
 2.
 3. Specify the IP address
 Parts "A", "B" & "C" (see schematics) must be the same number for all devices, lasers and computer, that shall communicate in the same network.
 In order to prevent issues with internet connection, some address are reserved for internal use (as in this case), so you must setup your network in a proper way:
 - range 192.168.XXX.YYY:
 - XXX: any number from 1 to 254 - remember that it needs to be the same in all your devices!
 - YYY: any number from 1 to 254 - remember that it needs to be different for all your devices!
 - range 10.WWW.XXX.YYY:
 - WWW: any number from 1 to 254 - remember that it needs to be the same in all your devices!
 - XXX: any number from 1 to 254 - remember that it needs to be the same in all your devices!
 - YYY: any number from 1 to 254 - remember that it needs to be different for all your devices!
 The control computer can be anything from 1 to 254, but make sure it does not conflict with any laser. Again: each device must have

Multi-path routing can provide higher bandwidth and better packet delivery ratio for multimedia applications than traditional shortest path routing protocols. Multi-path routing protocols try to use multiple simultaneous paths to transfer data messages. While it might increase the bandwidth and the delivery ratio, it also distributes the traffic load more evenly over the network. This load balance can be used to increase the lifetime of a MANET, as it will avoid using only one route for many times. This article explores the load balance technique showing that it is possible to increase the network lifetime up to 22 minutes using this technique alone. The energy consumption of a MANET unit can be split into control (59%), data (34%) and routing (7%) packets. The energy used only by the network interface card can also be separated into the energy used by sending or receiving packets, in this case approximately 89% is used to receive packets. All these values were obtained through simulations on GloMoSim, performed using real values from a Compaq WL110 network interface card connected to an HP IPAQ 3600 handheld.


Mark a Member as a Duplicate
While Membership automatically identifies possible duplicate members based on matching the first name, surname and date of birth of two records, it is possible for some duplicates to'slip through the cracks'. For example, this could occur if any of the three 'duplicate identification fields' (first name, surname, DOB) are not exactly the same, e.g. an incorrect date of birth, or variation or error in the spelling of a name. In such cases, the member can be manually flagged as a duplicate, which can then be resolved by the association.
Both associations and clubs are able to mark a member as a possible duplicate. Firstly, ensure that both records do belong to the same person, then complete the following:
2. Locate the new member (not the original) record. You may find the search box or 'Advanced Search' options useful for quickly locating a member record.
3. Click on the View Record button next to the name of the member you want to mark as a duplicate.
4. The member's record will open. Click on Mark Member as Duplicate on the right hand side.
5. A message will appear, reminding you to only mark the new record (not the original) as a duplicate. Click on Mark as Duplicate.
6. A message will appear confirming that the member has been marked as a duplicate. The member has now been added to the list of possible duplicates to be resolved by the association. If you are logged into Membership at the association level, you can click on Resolve Duplicates to go directly to the Duplicate Resolution screen.

In Ubuntu SDK QML tutorial a simple currency converter is build. The complete QML source code can be found here. When working through the example I found the following snippet somewhat confusing, particularly line 92 where the index field is assigned to caller.currencyIndex.

 width: parent.width
 height: parent.height - header.height
 model: currencies
 delegate: Standard {
 objectName: "popoverCurrencySelector"

 caller.currencyIndex = index // where does index come from?
I couldn't find any clue in the documentation where index is defined. What it should contain is absolutely obvious, but where does it come from? If it is a property of the Standard list view item it is nowhere documented.

index is a property of the ListView delegate, not necessarily a ListItem. It represents the number of the currentItem. From the docs:
The index is exposed as an accessible index property. Properties of the model are also available depending upon the type of Data Model.

That was exactly the piece of documentation I was looking for! Would've never expected this to be a property of the delegate. – ubuntudroid Mar 3 at 8:32
