Aspects of Food Waste Management in Florida –
Florida's picturesque landscapes and bustling food industry make it a unique state with its own set of legal and regulatory considerations when it comes to food waste management. As Ready2Go Dumpsters, a leading dumpster rental company in Florida, we understand the importance of adhering to legal requirements and regulations governing food waste. In this article, we will delve into the legal and regulatory aspects of food waste management in Florida, providing valuable insights for businesses and organizations aiming to reduce their environmental footprint.
The Legal Framework
Food waste management in Florida is governed by a combination of federal, state, and local regulations. Understanding this legal framework is essential for businesses and organizations involved in food production, distribution, and disposal.
1. Good Samaritan Food Donation Act: At the federal level, the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act encourages food donation by offering liability protection for individuals, restaurants, and businesses donating food in good faith to nonprofit organizations. This act provides legal protections, allowing entities to donate food without fear of legal repercussions.
Florida has specific state laws and regulations that businesses and organizations must adhere to:
1. Chapter 500, Florida Statutes – Food Products: This chapter encompasses various regulations related to food safety, quality, and labeling. It also includes provisions for food donation and the protection of food donors.
2. Chapter 381, Florida Statutes – Public Health: This chapter addresses food establishments, food safety, and health standards. It outlines requirements for the handling, storage, and disposal of food, emphasizing food safety and public health.
3. Chapter 403, Florida Statutes – Environmental Control: This chapter covers environmental protection, including waste management. It is particularly relevant to businesses and organizations that manage food waste and organic materials, as it includes provisions for composting and other organic waste management methods.
4. Chapter 380, Florida Statutes – Solid Waste Management: Chapter 380 deals specifically with solid waste management, providing guidelines for waste reduction, recycling, and waste disposal. It includes provisions for food waste reduction and diversion from landfills.
5. Chapter 570, Florida Statutes – Agricultural Law: This chapter relates to agriculture and provides provisions for food donation, as well as the use of surplus food as livestock feed.
Local governments within Florida may have their own ordinances and regulations concerning waste management, which can vary from one municipality to another. It's crucial for businesses and organizations to be aware of and comply with any local regulations.
Food Donation Liability Protection
Florida's laws protect food donors from liability when making good-faith food donations to nonprofit organizations. This legal protection is essential to encourage food donation and prevent potential legal repercussions for businesses. Under the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act and state regulations, food donors in Florida are shielded from liability as long as the food is donated in a reasonable manner and in accordance with established food safety guidelines.
Florida's regulatory framework also covers organic waste management, which is an essential aspect of food waste reduction. Chapter 403 of the Florida Statutes addresses composting regulations. Businesses and organizations interested in composting should comply with these regulations, which ensure that composting operations are conducted safely and in an environmentally responsible manner.
Waste Reduction Goals
Florida has set ambitious waste reduction goals to minimize the environmental impact of waste generation. Businesses and organizations are encouraged to align their food waste management practices with these goals. Reducing food waste through responsible disposal, composting, and food donation can help businesses contribute to the state's broader waste reduction initiatives.
Food Safety Regulations
Food safety regulations are a vital aspect of food waste management. Florida's Chapter 381 of the Florida Statutes outlines food safety standards and requirements for food establishments, which are crucial for ensuring the safe handling and storage of food. Businesses should adhere to these regulations to prevent foodborne illnesses and maintain the quality and safety of food items.
Florida's environmental regulations, especially those concerning waste management, highlight the state's commitment to minimizing the environmental impact of waste. Businesses and organizations should be aware of the provisions outlined in Chapter 380 of the Florida Statutes, which promote sustainable waste management practices, including food waste diversion from landfills.
Legal and regulatory aspects of food waste management in Florida are designed to ensure the safe handling of food, protect food donors, promote sustainable waste management, and minimize the environmental impact of food waste. Businesses and organizations that handle food should be well-informed about these regulations to maintain compliance and contribute to the state's waste reduction goals. At Ready2Go Dumpsters, we are dedicated to assisting businesses and organizations in their efforts to responsibly manage food waste in accordance with Florida's legal and regulatory framework, creating a more sustainable and food-conscious state for all.

New in IDL 8.6: IDLTasks
Anonym
ENVITasks have been around for a few years now, but they didn't help those of you who only have IDL and not ENVI as well. In IDL 8.6 we are happy to announce that the ENVITask concept has been carried over to work in pure IDL without ENVI. Many of the features are the same, but there are slight differences that I want to point out in this post.
The first and most obvious is how you construct an IDLTask. Rather than launch ENVI and then call the ENVITask()function, you can call the IDLTask()function at any point in time. As the help points out, you can pass in either a scalar string that is the name of the task you want or its filename, or you can pass in a Hash object that is the task definition (what you would get if you called JSON_Parse() on a task file). If you pass in a string that isn't a filename (relative or absolute), then it is treated as a task name. The function will then look at !PATH and search for all .task files in each folder listed there. It catalogs all the .task files it finds, but if there are multiple folders with the same base name only the first is recognized(just like how IDL handles multiple .pro or .sav files with the same base name found in !PATH). The list of .task files is filtered to those with the correct IDLTask schema, which currently is only "idltask_1.0". This way we don't accidentally pick up an ENVITask files and cause confusion. If a.task file with the same base name as the requested task name is found, it is used as the task definition. If no exact match is found, but partial matches exist, then helpful error messages are returned telling you about the name(s) that partially match, so you can correct your code. I should point out that the current working directory (which can be retrieved by calling CD with the CURRENT keyword) is searched before any of the folders in !PATH, so that can affect the behavior of IDLTask().
The "idltask_1.0" task schema used for IDLTasks in IDL 8.6 is very similar to the "envitask_3.0" schema used by ENVITasks in ENVI 5.4. The notable exception is that the TYPE property of your parameters won't understand ENVI class types like ENVIRaster. But all the basic datatypes available in IDL are supported by IDLTasks – strings, Booleans, and numbers, as well as List, Hash, OrderedHash, and Dictionary.
Another difference is how you interact with IDLTasks on GSF as opposed to ENVITasks. The service endpoint for IDLTasks will be http://hostname:port/ese/services/IDL,while the ENVITasks use http://hostname:port/ese/services/ENVI. The different endpoints are used to discriminate between the requests that should use the IDLTask() function vs the ENVITask() function to load the requested task.
Easy GSF deployment is one of the primary reasons you would want to build IDLTasks in the first place. If you have IDL functions or procedures that you are used to calling directly, then you are probably wondering why you would want to wrap them in an IDLTask. As a C++ developer in a previous life, I appreciated the type safety that C++ requires, so I also appreciate the parameter validation that IDLTasks provide. When developing your custom IDLTask, you will have to spend some time thinking about what the inputs and outputs are for your code, but once you do that you won't need to worry about writing lots of input validation code, the IDLTask framework will take care of that for you. The IDLTasks are also self-documenting like ENVITasks, so if someone else hands you a .task file and .sav file, you can load the task and then learn all about the parameter names, their types, cardinalities, and hopefully even descriptions. All of this information makes it possible to deploy your algorithms on GSF for running in the cloud, with all the same introspection capabilities over the REST endpoint. Alternatively, you can set up batch processing using some sort of folder watch capability to spawn IDLTaskEngine instances to automatically run your code on each file that appears on your system.

11,000 YEARS ALONG THE HOUSATONIC RIVER: THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE NORTHWEST HILLS
Kent, Connecticut – September 13, 2008 – The Sloane-Stanley Museum invites the public to a free program on Saturday, October 4th to celebrate Connecticut Archaeology Awareness Month. Dr. Nicholas Bellantoni, State Archaeologist, will talk at 1p.m. on the history of the Native American settlements and patterns of subsistence along the Housatonic River and how both were forced to adapt to changing climatic conditions and European contact.
Dr. Bellantoni serves as the State Archaeologist with the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Archaeology Center at the University of Connecticut. He has been excavating in Connecticut for over 30 years. "We are fortunate to have Dr. Bellantoni open Connecticut Archaeology Awareness Month by speaking at the Sloane-Stanley Museum," said Karin Peterson, Museum Director. "He is a knowledgeable and charismatic speaker." Want-to-be archaeologists can refine their digging skills at "Excavation Station," an interactive learning experience for all ages, which precedes Dr. Bellantoni's presentation from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. This program also is part of the Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Walking Weekend held each year so the public can learn about the history and culture of this region which includes parts of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.
The Sloane-Stanley Museum was built as a collaborative effort between Eric Sloane and the Stanley Works of New Britain to commemorate the tool company's 125th anniversary. Sloane is known to lovers of Americana as an artist and author who brought to life many forgotten customs and skills of past generations. In all, Sloane authored and illustrated over 38 books.
The Sloane-Stanley Museum is located in Kent, Connecticut on Route 7 (31 Kent-Cornwall Road) just north of the village of Kent and the intersection of Route 7 and 341. The museum is open from Wednesday through Sunday, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Regular admission: Adults $4.00, Senior Citizens, $3.00, Children 6 to 17 $2.50.

Pre-recruitment medical examination
The employer has to organise the pre-recruitment medical examinations when hiring employees. It is to ensure that the employees are physically fit and able to fulfill the contract of employment.
The pre-recruitment medical examination is a compulsory medical examination.
The French labor code, article R 4624-10 states that :
This medical examination concerns every employee, whatever the length of his employment contract. This examination takes place not later than the end of the trial period. But in case of strengthened medical supervision, the pre-recruitment medical examination does take place before the employee starts working for the enterprise.
The pre-recruitment medical examination includes :
- A questioning to know personal and family medical history, workstations occupied in the past (what risks was the employee exposed to).
- A physical examination
- Tests such as :
- Eye test
- Urinary examinations
- Lung function test
- Hearing test
- The occupational physician can also prescribe other tests according to the occupational risks observed within the company : blood test, urine cytology, etc
Labor code, article R 4624-11, defines the objectives of this examination :
1° to be sure the worker is physically fit to perform the work for which he would be recruited,
2 to propose modifications of the workstation, if it is necessary,
3° to know if the employee has a dangerous illness for the other workers,
4° to inform the worker about risks at the workstation, which health surveillance will be necessary,
5° and how he can protect from this hazards.
A report is filed by the occupational physician after each medical examination. The doctor has to give his opinion : the employee is fit or unfit to work, a workstation layout is necessary, etc
One copy of this certificate is given to the employer and the other is for the employee. Usually the occupational physician keep a copy too in the medical record of occupational health.
Time spent on the medical examination and on prescribed tests is taken on working time or is compensated and tranport costs too.

Primal Earth is a chunk of pure earthly essence. It is used in a wide range of high-end recipes.
-Transmute: Primal Fire to Earth
-Transmute: Primal Life to Earth
Primal Earth is primarily made by converting 10 Motes of Earth to one Primal Earth. Motes of Earth can typically be found by Miners, from Fel Iron, Adamantite, and Khorium veins. They can also be recovered from various Earth elementals in Outland (Enraged Crushers in Nagrand, Enraged Earth Spirits in Shadowmoon Valley, etc.).
Primal Earth can be created through Alchemy with the Transmute: Primal Fire to Earth and Transmute: Primal Life to Earth recipes.
Primal Earth is one of the cheapest primals due to its relative abundance and the fact that (unlike Shadow, Mana, Fire, Life, and Water) it is not used in any of the Tailoring cloths.

Is there any way to get the total page count after selecting multiple word documents in a folder?
share|improve this question
3 Answers 3
Hopefully this will enlighten you a little further than the rather brief answer provided by another user.
Simple answer: no.
Detailed answer: A MS Word document only has "pages" once it is generated (i.e. opened). The main reason for this is to do with the page size. For example: if you have three documents under scrutiny, formatted to sizes A5, A4 & A3 respectively, then to count the number of pages collectively would be practically impossible to display in a simple, logical / coherent format.
The only potential way around this is to write some custom software which opens each desired document one after the other, logs the page sizes of each respective document, and then counts the number of pages within each page size category and logs it before closing each document and proceeding to the next.
Hopefully this will be of help to you.
Many thanks.
Adam's response (Nov 22 '12 at 15:08) is also somewhat correct and I feel that I should elaborate on my answer; Word does store a page count for some document types, but not all, as Adam quite rightly states. I chose to treat this factor as an 'all or nothing' property; either it stores a page count for all document types, or none at all. Hence why if you extract the page count property from each document, it may result in incorrect / inaccurate data due to particular file types not being read. This is why my suggestion of custom software would be the best overall option as the data can become stale or inaccurate and not always reflect the facts. This is why it is better to consider Word as not storing any page number properties rather than just some.
I hope this also helps?
share|improve this answer
Thanks for the info. I don't suppose you have a link to any such custom software? – Paul Spangle Nov 20 '12 at 11:57
I'm afraid not; however, the logic behind the software should not be too difficult to implement. The software is required to look in a directory, locate all.doc /.docx files and then from there, open the document, log the number of pages (if you wish to include page size here, it will require more detailed analysis of the document), add the total to a running count for each page size, then close the document and move onto the next until all have been analysed. – SnookerFan Nov 20 '12 at 15:09
_USER_ please don't harass users to accept an answer, and please don't abuse flags to ask moderators to do so on your behalf. The choice to select an answer is entirely the user's; if they don't want to select an answer, they don't have to. I'm sure it's no coincidence that your sudden and intense interest in this user marking their solution is not coincidental. Don't worry about 15 points - just acknowledge that sometimes people don't mark an accepted answer, and your time is better spent writing new answers than begging for a checkmark on an answer from a year ago. – nhinkle Oct 21 '13 at 8:46
Not coincidental in relation to what, exactly? – SnookerFan Oct 21 '13 at 10:12
Has this worked? – SnookerFan Nov 22 '13 at 10:16
This same question came up at work and Google brought me here. There isn't a way to select the documents in Windows Explorer and obtain a page count, but there are other methods that might provide a good enough estimate.
I'm thinking of trying out this PowerShell script: Hey, Scripting Guy! How Do I Count the Number of Pages in a Group of Office Word Documents? For an end user I would set up a shortcut and maybe prompt for the folder location.
share|improve this answer
SnookerFan's detailed answer is a little off, Microsoft Word does store the number of pages in a document as a document property when the document is saved. This value is what shows up in the explorer when you view the properties of the file and it should be correct 99% of the time although I'm sure there are some situations where the value of this property could become stale and incorrect.
Therefore you could create a simple application and even make it into a shell plugin to query this property and add the values together.
One thing to keep in mind is this property is displayed for DOC and DOCX documents but isn't for RTF format even though it is written to the RTF document (represented by the {\nofpagesX} keyword).

Masters student uses pedal power to create novel machine
An innovative bicycle-powered water pump, created by a student at the University of Sheffield, has proved a huge success and is now in regular production in Guatemala, transforming the lives of rural residents.
Jon Leary, 24, a MEng student in the University's Department of Mechanical Engineering, took his bicycle machine design from a Steel City drawing board to the heart of Guatemala as part of his dissertation, which required him to 'make something useful out of rubbish.'
During his four month stint in Guatemala, Jon spent time improving the design for his bicibomba movil – a mobile bicycle-powered water pump to be used for irrigation and general water distribution - by working with the Guatemalan NGO Maya Pedal, who design and build a variety of weird and wonderful bicycle machines using abandoned bikes sent over from the US and Canada. Maya Pedal's aim is to produce machines which can improve the daily lives of locals, without them having to resort to expensive electrical or environmentally damaging fossil fuelled machines. Their machines, which are human-powered sustainable energy sources, range from the bicilavadora (bicycle washing machine) to the bicimolino (corn grinder).
Jon created the machine using a normal bike, which is plugged into a frame with an old electrical pump converted to a friction drive attached to the back wheel. The back tyre of the bike makes direct contact with the former armature of the motor, which is covered with rubber from an old tyre to give better grip. The machine was tested to a range of heights and on flat ground the pump can achieve a 40 litres per minute flow rate - equal to about three normal showers. At 26 meters, a flow rate of 5 liters per minute can be achieved.
The bike frame can be built quickly and easily using only basic workshop tools and materials, including a few lengths of angle iron, some flat lengths of metal, bicycle seat posts and seat tubes, and a scrapped standard electric centrifugal water pump.
Prior to Jon's design, Maya Pedal had already produced a popular machine capable of drawing water from up to 30m below the surface, however many farmers lived on steep inclines and wanted to distribute the water once it had been extracted from the well. As a result, unlike Maya Pedal's other static designs, Jon's bike is completely mobile - when a person is done pumping, they can simply flip the frame upside down and it will sit on top of the back wheel like a pannier rack. This mobility enables users to pump from the bottom of the hill to a mid-way tank until full, and then continue pumping from the mid-way tank to the top of the hill. The number of mid-way tanks can be increased indefinitely, effectively making the pumping distance unlimited.
The machine is now in regular production in Guatemala and at least six more models have been made since Jon's departure from the country last summer. Jon has since produced an open source construction manual for the machine, which is freely available on Maya Pedal's web site. The manual was recently sent to Malawi by students from the University of Strathclyde involved in a rural irrigation project aiming to address some of the agricultural problems that the developing nation is facing.
In two months time, Jon will return to Guatemala with a team of three more of the University's recent graduates from the Department of Mechanical Engineering to design, build and test a wind turbine. The turbine will be designed specifically for Maya Pedal and as a result will be constructed from disused bicycle parts and other scrap materials.
Jon said: "When I was asked to design a novel product from waste material for my Master's thesis, I never would have expected that I'd end up welding together bicycle machines in the highlands of Guatemala! Working at Maya Pedal was like being on Scrapheap Challenge - there is a storeroom full of stripped down bicycle parts, a workshop full of tools and the only limit is your own imagination. There was never a dull day, the volunteers came from all around the world to be there and everyone in the local town was so friendly - it's certainly an experience I'll never forget."
Dr Steve Bradbury from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield, said: "It is gratifying to see that the design expertise that we foster in our students can be utilised in worthy projects such as this. It is a result where everybody wins; Jon, the University and most importantly, the people of Guatamala."

Why You Might Need a Commonwealth Bank Statement
Bank statements are a useful tool for checking the balance of your account. They can help you to:
1. Identify any suspicious activity or unauthorized transactions.
2. To prove that you have sufficient funds in your checking account to cover any checks you write. If you don't have enough money in your account to cover checks, you could be charged overdraft fees or bounced checks if they're not paid promptly.
3. Check how much money is in your account. You can then compare this with your monthly income and expenditure. If there has been a large deposit or withdrawal, this may indicate an error in the way that your account was set up.
4. Check whether you are paying too much interest on the debt (such as payday loans). If so, you could contact the lender and ask them to refund some of the interest charged back to you.
How to Read Your Commonwealth Bank Statement
Here are some useful tips when reading a bank statement:
1. Look at all the transactions in detail. What is being paid? What has been paid? Compare one month against another to see if there are any payments or charges that have changed.
2. Check for any new charges or fees attached to your account (for example, for direct debits).
3. Read over each line carefully and check for details such as bank name (Commbank), branch name and account number.
4. Make sure you don't have any outstanding bills that are due in the next few days, as these will be listed on your statement, and you may incur late payment fees if they aren't paid.
5. Be sure to check for any fees or charges that may have been charged by the bank in addition to the interest rate that was paid on the loan (if applicable).
6. Look for transactions that occur at irregular times. For example, if you get paid on Friday each week, but your bank statement shows a transaction on Wednesday, there's probably something fishy going on.
7. Look at all of the transactions within each category and make sure they match up with what you expect to see for each type of transaction (debit card purchases, etc.)
If you're a customer of Commonwealth Bank, you can easily view and download your bank statements through the online banking portal. Simply follow the above steps.
If you have any trouble, don't hesitate to contact customer service for assistance.
As always, please keep in mind that if you see something suspicious on your statement or notice anything unusual, it's important to call them right away so we can investigate it.


text: Arctic journey was an experiential exhibition series that was realized as a part of HumanSee research project at the University of Lapland in 2016. The exhibition series seeked to experiment the multisensory ways of presenting personal experiences in the Arctic and to invite exhibition visitors into the co-creation of the installations. By exploring the exhibition formats, this article asks what is the role of co-design process in the construction of an arctic experience. Two of the exhibition cases included co-creation sessions, where the creation of the arctic experience was taken into a closer experimentation through the co-design process. Through qualitative content analysis and discourse analysis, the research findings suggest that arctic experience, even when not connected to personal experiences in the actual arctic region, is a reflection of the personal understanding of the marginal context that brings the stories of an individual into the core of the experience.

This study was conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of a modification of lime stabilization by the incorporation of pulverized fuel ash (PFA) for disinfection of sludge. The modified treatment is economic in terms of lime utilization and uses another waste product, PFA, which would also require disposal. Intestinal pathogens are the most probable pathogenic organisms present in the sludge. Several species of intestinal pathogen were examined for their ability to survive in raw sludge and then subjected to disinfection. The effect of the chemical mixture was attributed to the high pH produced and maintained, as heat production in the modified process was minimal. A mixture of 60% sludge (600 g/kg): 40% CaO/PFA (44.44 g/kg/355.56 g/kg) with the ratio CaO:PFA 1:8, was shown to be able to prevent the growth of bacterial pathogens and maintain a pH above 11.0 for at least 7 d. Although further study concerning texture and other physical properties is required, a modified sludge treatment with this relatively low proportion of lime was found to be suitable for landfill or land reclamation as far as its bacteriological disinfecting quality is concerned.

The classic 1959 film Ben Hur has been an iconic part of it American cinema for decades, and its themes of faith, friendship and redemption have been praised by many. However, the film has been the subject of much debate and speculation lately, with some doubts as to whether the main character, Judah Ben-Hur, is gay. While there is no definitive answer to this question, it is important to consider the evidence that both supports and disproves the idea that Ben-Hur is gay. This article examines the evidence surrounding this debate and examines whether or not Ben-Hur can be considered a gay character.
He turned down the role of Judah Ben-Hur because he had already appeared in a biblical-era film, The Silver Chalice (1955), and hated the experience. In addition, it taught him that he could not wear a tunic because his legs were inadequate.

Where is Charlton Heston?
Charlton Heston was an iconic actor who passed away in 2008. He is best known for his roles in classic movies such as Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments. He was an active political figure who served as president of the National Rifle Association from 1998 to 2003. In recent years, his legacy has been kept alive by his family, friends and fans. His final resting place is Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California, where he is buried with his wife Lydia. He is fondly remembered by those who knew him and those who admired his work.
Writing a screenplay for a movie or TV show can be an exciting and fulfilling experience. It requires a lot of creativity and hard work, but the rewards can be great. It's important to start with a well-thought-out concept and a solid outline before diving into the writing process. Once the ideas are in place, the writer needs to come up with interesting characters and storylines that will captivate the audience. Each scene should have a purpose and the dialogue should be natural and engaging. Crafting a compelling story is essential for the screenplay to be successful. With dedication and perseverance, a great screenplay can be made to leave the public wanting more.
Classic religious epic: Ben-hur and the iconic chariot racing scene
Ben-Hur is an American religious epic directed by William Wyler in 1959 and starring Charlton Heston, which is based on Lew Wallace's 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. Ben Hur has a strong religious overtones, as evidenced by the title, which is a remake of the 1925 silent film of the same title. The chariot racing scene from Chariot is considered one of the most amazing scenes in movie history. Preparing for this iconic scene took nearly a year of planning. Charlton Heston, a wealthy horseman, had to learn how to drive a chariot to succeed in the game. Messala, played by Stephen Boyd, also took the same classes as him. The chariot racing scene in Ben-Hur is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the cast and crew. This scene in Ben-Hur is one of the most memorable in the film.
Gay characters are an important part of the entertainment industry. The portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters in popular media has improved over the years, allowing audiences to find characters that reflect their own experiences and identities. Gay characters appear in TV shows, movies, books, and more, providing much-needed representation for people of all ages. These characters can help educate and educate the public about the LGBTQ+ experience and create a more accepting, diverse culture. By introducing various characterswe can help break down barriers and create a more inclusive society.
Disney pioneers LGBTQ+ representation with Strange World
In Disney's Strange World, which will be released on November 23, 2022, they have introduced the very first gay main character. The media is breaking new ground in its portrayal of LGBTQI people, with the character of Ethan Clade voiced by gay comedian Jaboukie Young-White. This isn't the first time LGBTQ+ characters have appeared in a movie or TV show. Brock Peters appears as one of the first openly gay characters in a American movie in The Pawnbroker, a movie released in 1964. In the 2000s, cartoons like Sailor Moon, South Park, King of the Hill, Cardcaptor, and Futurama all featured LGBTQ+ characters. Sara Ramrez, who spent 11 seasons and 239 episodes as Dr. Callie Torres, who starred on Grey's Anatomy, was one of the most enduring LGBTQ characters in American television history. The introduction of Ethan Clade into Disney's filmography marks an important milestone in LGBTQ representation and inclusion, and it will undoubtedly pave the way for more LGBTQ characters to appear in media in the future.

high water level alarm
Understanding Your Septic System: What Is a Septic Tank Alarm?
For homeowners with a septic system, familiarity with its components is key to preventing problems. One such component is the septic tank alarm—a device designed to alert you to potential issues within your system.
Let's delve into what a septic tank alarm is, how it works, and why it's an essential aspect of maintaining a healthy septic system.
The Purpose of a Septic Tank Alarm
A septic tank alarm is part of a modern septic system's monitoring process. It's designed to sound an alert if the water level in the pump tank rises above or falls below normal levels, signaling a potential malfunction or overflow risk.
How Septic Tank Alarms Work
- Water Level Monitoring: The alarm is connected to a float switch inside the pump chamber—the part of the septic system that pumps effluent to the drain field. If the float switch detects abnormal water levels, it triggers the alarm.
- Alarm Activation: Upon activation, the alarm typically emits a loud auditory signal and may also have a visual indicator, such as a flashing light, to warn the homeowner.
- Types of Alarms: Alarms can be wired or wireless and may even connect to home automation systems for remote monitoring.
Responding to a Septic Tank Alarm
- Immediate Action: If the alarm sounds, reduce water usage immediately and inspect the septic system or call a professional. Continued water use can lead to a backup or overflow.
- Troubleshooting: Common issues include pump failures, clogged filters, or problems with the float switch itself.
Regular Maintenance and Testing
- Scheduled Inspections: Regular inspections by a septic professional can ensure your alarm system functions properly.
- Self-Testing: Homeowners can test alarms by lifting the float switch manually to see if the alarm activates.
A septic tank alarm is an essential component of your septic system's health, providing a warning to prevent overflows and ensuring the system functions effectively. Regular testing and maintenance can help catch issues before they become serious problems.

The effect of water on the mechanical properties of rocks, such as strength and Young's modulus, has been investigated in many studies. To understand the mechanism of the effect of water on the mechanical behavior of rocks, not only these mechanical properties but also the stress-strain curve, which is one of the most basic data showing the mechanical behavior, should be focused on, and the change of the stress-strain curve with the different water conditions is needed to be known. In this study, the effect of water saturation on the uniaxial compressive strength and the stress-strain curve of rocks was investigated. The uniaxial compression test with alternating loading rate was performed using Sanjome andesite, Tage tuff, Kimachi sandstone and Akiyoshi marble. Inada granite was used for the uniaxial compression test with constant loading rate. The tests were conducted under various water conditions: oven-dried, vacuum-dried, air-dried, air-dried for one day, immersed in water and watersaturated conditions. The test results showed that the stress-strain curve of the andesite, tuff, sandstone and granite changed with the water saturation. On the other hand, the effect of water saturation on the stress-strain curve of the marble was not observed. From the test results, the increase in strength due to decrease in water saturation was discussed. A shift of the peak strength point with the water condition change was investigated, and the relation between the stress-strain curves under the different water conditions was considered based on it.
Cerium-doped barium zirconate (Ce-doped BaZrO3) fine particles with high crystallinity was prepared by a hydrothermal reaction using barium hydroxide, CeCl3, and a Zr-triethanolamine complex. Characterization of the Ce-doped BaZrO3 particles revealed that utilization of the water-stable Zr-triethanolamine complex was an efficient way to introduce cerium ions into the BaZrO3 perovskite crystal structure. The three-way catalytic activity of the Ce-doped BaZrO3 for an exhaust gas conversion reaction was investigated under a stoichiometric condition (CO 0.5%, C3H6 400 ppm, NO 500 ppm, O2 0.49%, H2 0.17%, CO2 14%, H2O 10% in N2). The Ce-doped BaZrO3 exhibited a remarkable low temperature NOx cleaning performance when the Ce-doped BaZrO3 was applied as an alternative for an Al2O3 support.
Although blasting is a quite efficient and economical excavation method, it is rarely applied to tunnel projects close to residential areas due to its environmental impacts, especially with regard to vibration and noise. Two key controls used to mitigate the occurrence of noise and vibration due to blasting are the use of small instantaneous explosives charges and the use of precise delay times to initiate the blast design sequence. An advanced electronic detonator, which has its precision of 0.01% of designed delay time and has made it possible to achieve precise initiation control in blasting, was introduced and used in a tunnel construction site in Japan. Testing of the delay times during blasting was carried out, the test results revealed the specific features and performance of the detonator to control the blasting vibration especially within a short distance of the tunnel face. In previous studies, several ways of simulating blasting waveforms were used. One of these, the Monte Carlo method, in which the production wave was reproduced by superposing a single wave had the potential to give good predictions of the production waves that might occur. Therefore, in this study, a similar way of simulating production waves was carried out. Section peaks in the production waveforms correspond with the detonation of each blasthole. These section peaks were found to follow the Weibull distribution, even though the section peaks might be influenced by amount of explosives, drill alignment, and geological inhomogeneity etc. More detailed simulation with consideration of difference in travel time and the change of the Weibull parameters with distance gives further precise results compared with the real production waves. This study leads more precise method of predicting production waves and of optimum blasting design.
Industrial waste generated in the domestic paper industry in Japan was 5.1 million tons in 2015, and after reduction and recycling, 152 thousand tons of the waste was consequently disposed. Organic sludge (paper sludge), which occupies two-thirds of the industrial waste generated in the paper industry, is incinerated for the purpose of volume reduction and thermal recycling, and then it becomes paper sludge ash (PS ash). PS ash is recycled as aggregate, roadbed material in the civil engineering field and cement raw material, but it is necessary to further expand the application and reduce the final disposal amount. From the above background, in this research, the strength characteristics, the durability performance and the environmental impact of low carbon concrete produced by reducing cement usage to 45% by using PS ash as admixture in addition to fly ash and blast furnace slag fine powder, were investigated. Experimental results show that the low carbon concrete produced in this research has long term strength development, and that PS ash does not contribute to long term strength. Moreover, the clay mineral contained in the PS ash has an effect of reducing drying shrinkage by water retention and expansion. With respect to durability performance, neutralization is promoted by decreasing the total cement amount, while salt tolerance resistance is improved. Frost damage resistance tends to decrease. The elution amount of toxic substances is less than the soil environmental standard value.
2004 年5 月にホンタイ炭鉱で自然発火が発生して以降，ベトナムの四カ所の無煙炭炭鉱と一カ所の亜瀝青炭炭鉱で自然発火が続発している。これらに対処するため，筆者等は断熱環境下で石炭の酸化発熱試験ができる装置を使用して，各炭鉱の石炭試料について酸化発熱特性の試験を行っている。これらのデータについて実際に自然発火を発生している炭鉱の試料に注目してみると，150 ℃以下の低温領域の酸化反応速度が他の自然発火を発生していない炭鉱の石炭試料に比較して大きいことを見出した。即ち，低温域における石炭の酸化反応速度が自然発火の発生と深い関係があるという結論を得た。既存の自然発火性評価方法との比較も試みた。

This study deals with the design and the evaluation of technological solutions for the electrification of public transport in urban areas. A Decision Support System (DSS) developed by ENEA â within the Research program on Electric System (RSE) has been adopted in order to verify the technical feasibility of several electric architectures of single bus lines and compare the investment and management costs, as well as the external costs due to vehicle emissions and noises, of the feasible solutions with respect to the conventional alternatives (Compressed Natural Gas, CNG, and diesel). The DSS has been applied to several bus lines located in the south-west area of the city of Rome, Italy, and covering different types of service: peripheral lines, main lines connecting suburbs with the city center and secondary lines going to the main metro stations. Input data for the DSS derived both by simulation and by open database available from the public transport operator in Rome (ATAC). Results show that a suitable electric architecture can be found for each of these lines with lower or comparable total costs with respect to the traditional alternatives. Finally, a sensitivity analysis has been performed considering several scenarios in terms of discount rate of recharge stations and batteries, battery's duration, price of conventional fuels.

Discrimination in housing markets occurs when equally qualified people are treated differently because of their membership in a particular group. This study focuses on racial and ethnic discrimination in qualitative actions by landlords, such as making an advertised housing unit available for inspection by a customer. The data come from the Housing Discrimination study, which conducted over 1500 rental housing audits in 25 metropolitan areas in 1989. Each audit consists of a visits to a landlord by a white person and either a black or Hispanic person with similar socio-economic characteristics. Using Chamberlain's fixed-effect logic estimation, we develop a nationally representative measure of the incidence of discrimination in landlord behavior and conduct hypothesis tests on the incidence and causes of discrimination. The results indicate widespread discrimination across several types of landlord behavior and support the hypotheses that landlords discriminate both out of personal prejudice and in response to the prejudice of present and future white clients.

Toby Jugs Are So Ugly They're Cute
From outlandish and crude to surprisingly cute, Toby jugs have expressions and details in excess with their arched eyebrows, smiles, frowns, and sometimes scowls. They have a long history with many makers to credit with varying degrees of collectibility. Some call them ugly, but many collectors love these unique vessels.
Rosy-cheeked from a spell of drinking, the figures of Toby jugs will often be holding a cup of foamy brew or a pipe. They're often dressed in 18th-century-style clothing with a tricorn hat and long jacket. The subjects of Toby mugs are often a bit rough and tumble.
What makes these jugs so special are their details, which sometimes border on the grotesque. Pox, blemishes, sunken eyes, missing teeth, wrinkles, and pallor are some of the features depicted on the faces of the jug characters. Even the rare female characters are seen taking snuff or drinking. And their faces show it, too!
The tradition of these Toby jugs got started in the 1700s in Staffordshire, England. There are at least half a dozen theories as to where the name and the character came from. Toby Fillpot, Sir Toby Belch, My Uncle Toby, and The Hearty Goodfellow are all characters that have been said to influence the creation of the jugs. Regardless of which theory might be true, these jugs portrayed the rough life and appealed mainly to men. Their numbers grew in the 19th century when Royal Doulton began to produce versions of this now-classic form.
It was in the 20th century that the character mugs started being produced in nearly any shape or character by many different pottery companies. A common transformation was that many were now proper mugs instead of jugs, with no spout to pour from.
From medieval maidens and dogs to Winston Churchill and sailors with parrots, the range of faces available now were very broad. The more modern examples tend to feature just the head of the character instead the whole body. The early jugs show seated and standing figures, but show the entire body of the figure. Many character mugs retain some of the detail and crude features of the jugs, but they are not the same.
The prices of antique and vintage Toby jugs and character mugs can fluctuate highly with many of the mugs being sold as much older than they really are or being sold as Toby jugs. Many early examples are not marked which only adds to confusion among collectors. Whatever the value, you either love or hate these often-macho and mostly graphic characters. My favorites are the jolly drinkers rather than the sunken-eyed ne'er-do-wells.

ASP.NET JSON and ViewState
imageI received the following question recently about my article "ASP.NET AJAX using JSON – Here's how.
If we update the value of a textbox or label via a JSON web service call – will the value of that textbox/label be written to the viewstate or whatever so that the server side code can see the new values that came from the JSON request?
The short answer is, "no, it will not update viewstate." But I think it would be helpful to understand when this is important rather than just giving you a blanket answer.

Kentucky Countryside in Transition
A Streetcar Suburb and the Origins of Middle-Class Louisville, 1850–1910
Kentucky Countryside in Transition charts the rise of the American middle class at the turn of the twentieth century by examining the migration from the Kentucky countryside to the city and subsequently the suburbs of Louisville. The formation of the middle class in Louisville was fostered by two factors: a boom in white collar employment and the electric streetcar, an innovation that fundamentally changed the urban landscape. Ultimately a narrative of industrialization and modernity, this study focuses on a group of forty-two families who lived at the end of the Broadway Trolley line in an area that came to be known as the Cherokee Triangle. This suburban neighborhood was dominated by white collar commuters who were driven to Louisville by a desire to get ahead but continued to embrace a nostalgia for country life. In this meticulous three generation study, Stephanie Bower follows this group of families as they make the transition from rural farmers and cultivators to city laborers and white collar workers. By mining census records, city directories, and county records, Bower carefully reconstructs the biographical details of residents in an effort to paint a picture of life in this streetcar suburb during this important period of transformation. Regional studies of the middle class during this pivotal era are often overlooked in contemporary scholarship. Consequently, this analysis will be of interest to those researching Louisville, middle class formation, and suburbanization, as well as to local genealogists tracing their family histories.

Save the Canadian Exchange Program for Educators
0 have signed. Let's get to 2,500!
In June 2019, the board of directors of CEEF (Canadian Educational Exchange Foundation) terminated the teacher exchange program. CEEF has offered the opportunity for international educational exchanges to both educators and students.
Teacher Educational Exchanges are a unique blend of professional development and international cooperation.
Benefits of a teacher exchange include:
- enable our students to develop global understandings of historical and contemporary social and cultural worlds
- create learning opportunities for our students that extend their local and national communities
- exposure to different education systems and assessment methods, bringing international perspectives to classrooms and schools
- development of new pedagogy ideas and skills for effective teaching
- acquisition of diverse perspectives to share with colleagues
- opportunity for teachers and their families to connect to a variety of cultures and communities
- developing resiliency skills and self-confidence
- building an international educational and personal network
- access to international travel opportunities and experiences
- enhanced language skills
- a cost neutral opportunity for school boards to enable a full year of extraordinary professional development for teachers which benefit students, schools, school communities, and school boards
Overview of the Exchange Program
The first recorded teacher exchanges occurred in 1899 between the UK and a small group of Toronto teachers. By the 1920s, the Ministry had taken over the responsibility, and BC and some other provinces had also begun offering teacher exchanges. The Ministries or Departments of Education for each province managed the programs until the 1990s.
In 1991 in Ontario, the Ministry of Education divested the program to OFEE (Ontario Federation for Educator Exchange). Administration of the program was by an executive and board of directors of former exchange teachers and supervisory officers with the non-financial support of the Ministry and school boards in terms of facilities, information, and promotion, etc. In 1997 OFEE and OSEF (student exchange program) for reasons of efficiency and financial expediency merged to become CEEF governed by one common board.
In 2000, the BC Ministry of Education approached CEEF to take over their program. Thereafter, NB, NS, PEI, SK, MB also approached CEEF to manage the program in their provinces. The program has exchanged teachers from within our country and with other countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom, France, New Zealand, Germany, United States, Denmark, Spain, and Switzerland. Organizations affording this opportunity become a part of an international network of educational authorities looking outward to become active global citizens and to strengthen educational systems.
When educators immerse themselves in other educational systems, they not only serve as ambassadors of the quality of Canadian educators on the world stage but also are allowed the opportunity to reflect on best practices at a deeper level. Exchange teachers experience first-hand inclusion, the diverse learner, indigenous education, achievement gaps, minority languages, and other important developments in education that are unfolding globally.

Investigation of temperature coefficients of PV modules through field measured data
Peer reviewed, Journal article

OriginalversjonPaudyal, B. R. Imenes, A. G. (2021). Investigation of temperature coefficients of PV modules through field measured data. Solar Energy, 224 425-439. _URL_
Varying broadband irradiance and temperature are generally known as the major factors influencing the performance of PV modules, but studies have also shown the substantial impact of spectral variations. In this work, a simple and efficient method to calculate the temperature coefficient using long term data is demonstrated. Temperature coefficients of PV modules are estimated from long term performance data following IEC 60891 standard with additional spectral correction, and are compared against the datasheet values. Significant improvement of correlation coefficient from −0.89 to −0.97 is observed during the regression for maximum power temperature coefficient of two poly-crystalline modules, after spectral correction by spectral factor (SF). Also, the standard deviation of yearly estimated values of these coefficients reduced from 5–7 % to 1–2 %. In another setup involving spectral measurements and various PV technologies, the annual mean of 1.62 eV for average photon energy in 350–1700 nm range, suggests a general blue shift of the spectrum. Higher averages than reference values of useful fraction (UF) for c-Si, CIGS and HIT technologies also validate the blue shift of spectrum. Results show SF produces maximum power temperature coefficients closer to the datasheet values compared to UF, suggesting better applicability of SF as an index for spectral correction. The coefficient values were found closer to STC values and the results from Mann and Kendall test, employed to detect any underlying monotonic trend in the development of temperature coefficients over eight years, showed no increasing or decreasing trend and hence no degradation of temperature coefficients for the long-term exposed PV modules.

What is Folder Protocol? Folder Protocol (FOL) is a decentralized storage network that turns cloud storage into an algorithmic marketplace. Koindeks.com In this article, we answered the questions of what is Folder Protocol, what it offers, what is FOL, what it does, and how to get it. Let's examine this project together, which focuses on dApp creation and technologies such as decentralized storage and IoT.
What is Folder Protocol?
Folder Protocol is a Blockchain protocol that operates in an algorithmic marketplace using cloud storage technology. This protocol runs on the Filecoin network in a decentralized manner. It is basically a layer-2 solution created for the Filecoin network. Hosting a local cryptocurrency called FOL, Folder also reinforces mining. Miners consist of users who provide storage space to the platform. However, the ecosystem also has a number of technologies such as smart contract and dApp creation.
What does the Folder Protocol offer?
With the Web 3.0 focused Folder Protocol, users can rent storage space from miners. The price paid for the rental varies depending on the size of the storage space and the storage deadline. The network creates a peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed document network for each continent and each network connected through Crust. However, the network provides a virtual and fast information processing service. Thus, users can transfer their information to the Blockchain platform very quickly.
However, Folder is a layer-2 network that supports smart contracts. That is, users have the advantage of developing their own Web3-oriented decentralized applications on the platform. The extremely high scalability of the network makes it easier for developers. It also offers high security in addition to scalability. The network automatically detects and repairs replication errors. By duplicating and distributing content, it achieves robustness. In addition, stored content and information is encrypted end-to-end. This further increases security.
What is FOL? What's the use?
FOL is a native cryptocurrency designed for the Folder Protocol network. This cryptocurrency is about the driving engine for the network. Users pay with FOL through the marketplace to rent storage space from miners. Miners, on the other hand, gain the advantage of passively earning income thanks to FOL. However, developers use FOL to run smart contracts within the platform. Developers running smart contracts by paying FOL can build their own dApps.
What is Folder Protocol? How to take FOL?
Investors wishing to purchase Folder Protocol should gain access to cryptocurrency exchanges such as Bittrex and Flybit. Users accessing these exchanges that list FOL must become members and follow their membership verification processes. After doing this, they can buy the cryptocurrency by depositing an asset in their wallets relative to their FOL transaction pair.

The emphasis of BOW and Beyond BOW is on the enjoyment and camaraderie that goes along with outdoor recreation, whether hunting, fishing, hiking, or boating.


Lovely Wind Chimes Collection 2015
Sponsored Links:
A wind chime is a decoration which is made up of hollow metal tubes arranged in a circular or cubical pattern with a slightly longer stick at the center of the arrangement which strikes the tubes to make a low pitch sound. The ornament has been used since Roman times and was placed outside houses to ward off evil spirits. In South East Asia, wind chimes have been used for centuries and are hung in gardens, verandas and courtyards normally and as their name suggest, are operated by gusts of wind.
Wind Chimes are made in hundreds of different materials, shapes, arrangements, colors and sizes. These properties depend on where they are hung and other factors which include the pattern and color of the articles in their whereabouts. Most commonly, metallic wind chimes are made these days which are preferably of Aluminum because of the metal being hollow, light and making faint, low pitched sounds. The tubes of the chimes are colored depending on their material of construction with wood normally being colored brown and metal being shaded silvery.
Like mentioned above, wind chimes are made in a variety of sizes. The dimensions of the decoration depend on where it is going to be hung and on some other factors like the material of construction. Larger wind chimes are affordable as long as the material of construction is Aluminum because of it being light weight but smaller chimes are made in case of wood and steel. If they are to be hung in a wide open place, wind chimes are made bigger so as to benefit from a bigger amount of wind and create more sound. On the contrary, smaller ones are used in tight porches and terraces so that they look good and not out of place.

The paper presents a novel concept of a pressure adaptive piston/cylinder interface design for a swashplate type axial piston machine that uses a pressurized groove around the bushing inside the cylinder block. This groove is connected to the pump displacement chamber and it uses pressure deformations of the bushing to improve the sealing function of the piston/cylinder lubricating interface. Such a design concept is based on a groove design that is easy to manufacture, thus resulting in a cost-effective design solution.
The proposed piston/cylinder interface design is simulated using a multi-domain simulation model developed by the authors' research team. The tool is particularly suitable for the analysis of the internal gap flows, being based on a fully coupled fluid structure thermal interaction model, which calculates the non-isothermal gap fluid behavior considering solid body deformations due to temperature and pressure effects.
The proposed solution is compared in simulation with respect to a standard design of an axial piston pump. The results indicate that the proposed pressure adaptive piston/cylinder interface is able to improve the sealing function of the piston/cylinder interface at different operating conditions. Therefore, the proposed novel design can be seen as a possible method to increase the energy efficiency of the current designs of swash plate units.


TY - CONF TI - A simple repair mechanism can alleviate computational demands of pragmatic reasoning: simulations and complexity analysis AU - Arkel, Jacqueline van AU - Woensdregt, Marieke AU - Dingemanse, Mark AU - Blokpoel, Mark AB - How can people communicate successfully while keeping resource costs low in the face of ambiguity? We present a principled theoretical analysis comparing two strategies for disambiguation in communication: (i) pragmatic reasoning, where communicators reason about each other, and (ii) other-initiated repair, where communicators signal and resolve trouble interactively. Using agent-based simulations and computational complexity analyses, we compare the efficiency of these strategies in terms of communicative success, computation cost and interaction cost. We show that agents with a simple repair mechanism can increase efficiency, compared to pragmatic agents, by reducing their computational burden at the cost of longer interactions. We also find that efficiency is highly contingent on the mechanism, highlighting the importance of explicit formalisation and computational rigour.

Road types and names
From waze
(Redirected from Ramps)
Jump to: navigation, search
Around the world there are many local country standards for setting the road types and names. This page serves as the redirection point for each country's road naming conventions (listed alphabetically).
Navigation instructions for unnamed segments
When Waze gives navigation instructions to "turn", "exit", or "keep" onto an unnamed segment, it will look for a name it can use. If there is a named segment further along your route, it will use (inherit) that name in the instruction. Named segments connected to the unnamed segment which are not part of your provided route, are not relevant.
The inherited name is only used in the displayed and spoken instruction prompts, it does not affect the actual name of the segment.
This always works for Freeways and Ramps .
As of January 2015, on all other road types (any road type which is not a Freeway or Ramp), this feature only works if:
 1. The combined length of the consecutive unnamed segments is shorter than 400 meters (1,312 feet),
 2. There are 3 or fewer unnamed segments in a row.
To explain the above conditions from another perspective: If the consecutive unnamed segments measured together are longer than 400 m (1,312 ft), or if there are 4 or more unnamed segments in a row, Waze will NOT show or speak a name in the instructions.
For a more detailed explanation, including side effects and usage examples, please see the Expanded Navigation instructions for unnamed segments page.

The echo box performs exactly as its name implies. If you tap out a rhythm on the lid, it will tap the same thing back to you. Except it isn't tapping to make the sound, but vibrating.
The concept is similar to the Knock Block. In that hack, a piezo element detected a rapping on the wooden enclosure and repeated the rhythm by striking the lid with a solenoid. This iteration also uses a piezo element as the sensor. In the image above you can see a segment of PVC pipe in the upper corner. That houses the element, sandwiched between two pieces of wine bottle cork. That cork just touches the lid of the box, transferring the vibrations to the element.
The sound is created by a motor with an offset weight on its spindle. When the motor spins, it causes vibrations. The enclosure is one wood box inside of another, so the vibrating motor cause the inner box to shake against the outer one to make noise. Hear it for yourself in the clip after the break.


text: The electronic transport properties of polycrystalline pentacene-based thin film transistors (TFTs) were investigated at the microscopic level using microRaman spectroscopy. All the pentacene film, which were thermally evaporated as a layer with thickness of 70 nm, featured polycrystalline structure with only "thin film" phase polymorph and grain morphology as verified by x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. We have investigated the molecular vibrational modes of pentacene in the active channel during operations the organic TFT devices using in-situ Raman spectroscopy. Extra vibrational modes resulting from vibrational coupling effect in pentacene film were studied. The interlayer and intralayer intermolecular vibrational coupling energy was calculated from the Davydov splitting using a simple coupled-oscillator model. The results suggest that the C-H in-plane bending vibrational coupling energy of pentacene molecules in solid film is affected by operating device. Additionally, the aromatic C-C stretching vibrational modes also were investigated. However, it is rather difficult to obtain the variations of lattice parameters of pentacene film in a very small active channel by using electron diffraction and XRD. At the same time, MicroRaman technique provides the capability to explore the intermolecular coupling and molecular structure modifications.

Dapr actors overview
Overview of Dapr support for actors
The Dapr actors runtime provides support for virtual actors through following capabilities:
Actor method invocation
You can interact with Dapr to invoke the actor method by calling HTTP/gRPC endpoint
POST/GET/PUT/DELETE http://localhost:3500/v1.0/actors/<actorType>/<actorId>/method/<method>
You can provide any data for the actor method in the request body and the response for the request is in response body which is data from actor method call.
Refer api spec for more details.
Actor state management
Actors can save state reliably using state management capability.
You can interact with Dapr through HTTP/gRPC endpoints for state management.
To use actors, your state store must support multi-item transactions. This means your state store component must implement the TransactionalStore interface. The following state stores implement this interface:
 - Redis
 - MongoDB
 - PostgreSQL
 - SQL Server
 - Azure CosmosDB
Actor timers and reminders
Actors can schedule periodic work on themselves by registering either timers or reminders.
Actor timers
You can register a callback on actor to be executed based on a timer.
The Dapr actor runtime ensures that the callback methods respect the turn-based concurrency guarantees.This means that no other actor methods or timer/reminder callbacks will be in progress until this callback completes execution.
The next period of the timer starts after the callback completes execution. This implies that the timer is stopped while the callback is executing and is started when the callback finishes.
The Dapr actors runtime saves changes made to the actor's state when the callback finishes. If an error occurs in saving the state, that actor object is deactivated and a new instance will be activated.
All timers are stopped when the actor is deactivated as part of garbage collection. No timer callbacks are invoked after that. Also, the Dapr actors runtime does not retain any information about the timers that were running before deactivation. It is up to the actor to register any timers that it needs when it is reactivated in the future.
You can create a timer for an actor by calling the HTTP/gRPC request to Dapr.
POST/PUT http://localhost:3500/v1.0/actors/<actorType>/<actorId>/timers/<name>
The timer duetime and callback are specified in the request body. The due time represents when the timer will first fire after registration. The period represents how often the timer fires after that. A due time of 0 means to fire immediately. Negative due times and negative periods are invalid.
The following request body configures a timer with a dueTime of 9 seconds and a period of 3 seconds. This means it will first fire after 9 seconds, then every 3 seconds after that.
{
 "dueTime":"0h0m9s0ms",
 "period":"0h0m3s0ms"
}
The following request body configures a timer with a dueTime 0 seconds and a period of 3 seconds. This means it fires immediately after registration, then every 3 seconds after that.
{
 "dueTime":"0h0m0s0ms",
 "period":"0h0m3s0ms"
}
You can remove the actor timer by calling
DELETE http://localhost:3500/v1.0/actors/<actorType>/<actorId>/timers/<name>
Refer api spec for more details.
Actor reminders
Reminders are a mechanism to trigger persistent callbacks on an actor at specified times. Their functionality is similar to timers. But unlike timers, reminders are triggered under all circumstances until the actor explicitly unregisters them or the actor is explicitly deleted. Specifically, reminders are triggered across actor deactivations and failovers because the Dapr actors runtime persists the information about the actors' reminders using Dapr actor state provider.
You can create a persistent reminder for an actor by calling the Http/gRPC request to Dapr.
POST/PUT http://localhost:3500/v1.0/actors/<actorType>/<actorId>/reminders/<name>
The reminder duetime and callback can be specified in the request body. The due time represents when the reminder first fires after registration. The period represents how often the reminder will fire after that. A due time of 0 means to fire immediately. Negative due times and negative periods are invalid. To register a reminder that fires only once, set the period to an empty string.
The following request body configures a reminder with a dueTime 9 seconds and a period of 3 seconds. This means it will first fire after 9 seconds, then every 3 seconds after that.
{
 "dueTime":"0h0m9s0ms",
 "period":"0h0m3s0ms"
}
The following request body configures a reminder with a dueTime 0 seconds and a period of 3 seconds. This means it will fire immediately after registration, then every 3 seconds after that.
{
 "dueTime":"0h0m0s0ms",
 "period":"0h0m3s0ms"
}
The following request body configures a reminder with a dueTime 15 seconds and a period of empty string. This means it will first fire after 15 seconds, then never fire again.
{
 "dueTime":"0h0m15s0ms",
 "period":""
}
Retrieve actor reminder
You can retrieve the actor reminder by calling
GET http://localhost:3500/v1.0/actors/<actorType>/<actorId>/reminders/<name>
Remove the actor reminder
You can remove the actor reminder by calling
DELETE http://localhost:3500/v1.0/actors/<actorType>/<actorId>/reminders/<name>
Refer api spec for more details.
