Subject st: Increase speed of -replaceDate Thu, 8 May 2008 12:31:52 -0700
I am looking for a way to increase the speed of -replace-. I have a
long string variable consisting of several words that should be
reduced to a shorter string, depending on the text in each
observation. The problem can be reproduced with the auto data. Assume
that we want to replace the text in the variable "make" by a single
word. Assume further that the text we are looking for (e.g. "Chev.")
is not necessarily at the beginning of the string but that it can be
anywhere in the variable. My solution is shown below but it is slow
with more than 200 -replacecommands and about 150,000 observations.
Is there a faster solution?
sysuse auto
replace make = "AMC" if strpos(make,"AMC")>0
replace make = "Buick" if strpos(make,"Buick")>0
replace make = "Cadillac" if strpos(make,"Cad.")>0
replace make = "Chevrolet" if strpos(make,"Chev.")>0
replace make = "Dodge" if strpos(make,"Dodge")>0

Quoting Erich from R archives "
There is RExcel (available by downloading the CRAN package RExcelInstaller. It allows to transfer data between R and Excel, and run R code from within Excel. So you can start with your data in Excel, let R do an analysis, and transfer the results back to Excel. You can write VBA macros which do this, but "hidden from exposure",
so the Excel user does not even notice that R is doing the hard work.
It also has an Excel worksheet function RApply which allows to call an R function from an Excel cell formula. =RApply("rfun",A1)
would apply the R function rfun to the value in cell A1.
If the value in A1 changes, Excel will force R to recalculate the formula.
There is a (half hour long) video demo about RExcel
at _URL_
_URL_ has more information about the project

This can help save a huge number of costs as Excel is the least expensive analytical software and is present on all analytics companies.

Practice Psychometric Tests
Written Exercise
Employers often use a written exercise to assess job candidates. Written exercises usually test a combination of: common sense, comprehension skills, verbal reasoning, the ability to structure a letter, an essay or an argument, note taking ability and written communication skills.
A candidate's knowledge of specific industry issues or work procedures is not usually tested. The subject of your written exercise may also be used as the basis for a discussion in a later interview.
Written Exercise Examples
Examples of written exercises used by firms include:
 - Write a report on the pros and cons of a takeover bid, based on 12-pages of material provided.
 - Summarise the facts of a case file, listing its strengths and weaknesses.
 - Summarise a Law report for a client who is concerned with the issues it covers but has no specific legal knowledge.
 - Write a letter of complaint to a local council on behalf of an elderly resident.
You will typically be given between 40-60 minutes to complete a written exercise.


MODUNLOAD(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures MODUNLOAD(8)
modunload - unload a module
modunload -i module_id [-e exec_file]
modunload unloads a loadable module from the running system. The module_id is the ID of the module as shown by modinfo(8). If ID is 0, all modules that were autoloaded which are unloadable, are unloaded. Modules loaded by modload(8) are not affected.
The following options are supported:
-e exec_file
Specify the name of a shell script or executable image file to be executed before the module is unloaded. The first argument passed is the module id (in decimal). There are two additional arguments that are module specific. For loadable drivers, the second argument is the driver major number. For loadable system calls, the second argument is the system call number. For loadable exec classes, the second argument is the index into the execsw table. For loadable filesystems, the second argument is the index into the vfssw table. For loadable streams modules, the second argument is the index into the fmodsw table. For loadable scheduling classes, the second argument is the index into the class array. Minus one is passed for an argument that does not apply.
-i module_id
Specify the module to be unloaded.
attributes(7), modinfo(8), modload(8), update_drv(8)
The modunload command is often used on driver modules to force the system to reread the associated driver configuration file. While this works in the current Solaris release, it is not the supported way to reread the configuration file and is not guaranteed to work in future releases. The supported way for rereading driver configuration file is through the update_drv(8) command.

Do Japanese eat plain rice?
The Japanese mostly consume white rice (hakumai), and occasionally brown rice (genmai), which has retained its bran and germ. The Japanese eat plain and unseasoned rice, as it serves as an accompaniment to the various already salty dishes that make up a traditional Japanese meal – vegetables, fish or meat, and soup.
What do Japanese put on rice?
Furikake (ふりかけ) is a dried Japanese seasoning that is sprinkled on top of cooked rice. Ingredients include a combination of dried fish flakes, dried egg, dried cod eggs, bonito flakes, sesame seeds, chopped seaweed and other flavourings.
Do Japanese eat rice with every meal?
Rice is served with every Japanese meal. Daily rice served with meals is usually steamed and lightly seasoned. But, rice may be cooked in a variety of ways and served with different spices and adding delicacies to make it more nutritious.
Why do Japanese eat rice?
Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare did make one major update to the most recent guidelines: Because Japanese people mostly eat white rice as their main grain, and white rice is linked to an increased risk of chronic diseases, the 2010 guidelines recommend that only 50 to 65 percent of a person's diet should
Why do Chinese eat plain rice?
(The best is unpolished/less processed rice, because it is rich in B vitamins.) Rice is eaten to supplement the meal in Asia, not a main course. Rice has always been a popular carbohydrate, cheap to grow and easy to transport and store.
Why is it bad to stick your chopsticks in rice?
When you are eating food with chopsticks, especially with rice, do not stick your chopsticks into your food or rice. This is seen as a curse in Chinese culture. This is taboo and said to bring bad luck because it reminds people of the incense used a funeral.
What type of rice do Chinese eat?
As far as cooking scene are concerned, Chinese prefer japonica rice when cooking rice and porridge, while Chinese prefer japonica rice when cooking fried rice. In addition, if you want to make Japanese sushi, you should also choose japonica rice, because Indica rice is difficult to kneading into rice balls.
Is it weird to eat rice by itself?
So if you're someone who scarfs down food without chewing it much, you won't really get the full flavor of rice, which might lead to you thinking that it's plain. It's definitely tasty on its own! It's edible.
Why do Japanese eat white rice?
Japanese people stay lean despite eating lots of white rice because they're unafraid of it. They have a relationship with it where it neither scares nor intimidates them — instead of avoiding it, they enjoy it in moderate portions, with different vegetables, filling fats, and nourishing proteins.
What foods do Japanese not eat?
10 Foods Not to Serve at a Japanese Dinner Party
- Coriander (Cilantro) Personally, I love coriander.
- Blue Cheese. I guess I can't blame them for this one seeing as it's an acquired taste for all.
- Rice Pudding. Rice is the staple Japanese food.
- Spicy Food.
- Overly Sugared Foods.
- Brown Rice.
- Deer Meat.
- Hard Bread.
Do Japanese eat 3 meals a day?
Japanese Eating Habits | This Month's Feature | Trends in Japan | Web Japan. Of the 95% of Japanese that eat three meals a day, most people consider dinner to be the most important. More than 80% of them usually have dinner at home with their families.
Does rice make you fat?
White rice is a refined, high-carb food that's had most of its fiber removed. A high intake of refined carbs has been linked to obesity and chronic disease. Brown Versus White Rice.
|Protein||2 grams||2 grams|
|Fat||0 grams||1 gram|
|Manganese||19% RDI||55% RDI|
|Magnesium||3% RDI||11% RDI|
Why are Japanese so healthy?
As their diet is traditionally high in soy and fish this may also play a significant role in reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. The Japanese also have the lowest rates of obesity amongst men and women as well as long life expectancy.
What do Japanese people say before eating?
Before eating, Japanese people say "itadakimasu," a polite phrase meaning "I receive this food." This expresses thanks to whoever worked to prepare the food in the meal.
Do Japanese Add salt to Rice?
Yes Japanese rice is cooked and generally eaten without table salt or shoyu added. Sometimes though people stir a bit of miso into their bowl of rice at home. Miso is a seasoned fermented paste made of soybeans, sea salt, and koji, a fungus.

Tap water clean enough to treat wounds
Medical workers in disaster areas no longer have to wait for sterile equipment before they clean and dress wounds, thanks to Australian research.
Professor Rhonda Griffiths, of the University of Western Sydney's Centre for Applied Nursing, says as long as water is good enough to drink, evidence suggests it will be good enough to clean uninfected wounds.
"We've demonstrated that some of the traditional ways of doing dressings are unnecessarily expensive and labour intensive," says Griffiths.
She adds that if there is any doubt that the tap water is suitable for drinking, it can be boiled before use.
Griffiths and colleagues recently completed a systematic review of evidence for the Cochrane Collaboration comparing the use of saline versus tap water to clean uninfected wounds.
The review found that washing wounds, including leg ulcers, with water did not show an increase in infection or decrease in healing time, compared to using saline, she says.
As a result, the Cochrane Collaboration is now recommending tap water is used to clean wounds in developing countries and disaster zones, says Griffiths.
In the community
Community nurses, who treat people at home, first triggered the investigation into the use of tap water to clean wounds, says Griffiths.
While hospitals routinely use saline or sterilised water to clean uninfected wounds, community nurses have traditionally relied on people to simply shower before they dress their wounds.
"So in hospitals you had one practice," says Griffiths. "And the community had another."
Both practices were based on tradition rather than evidence, she says.
One of the studies included in Griffiths' Cochrane review was carried out by her team.
It was a six-week double blind, randomised controlled trial in southwestern Sydney that studied the healing and infection rate in 49 wounds of 35 patients washed with saline, compared with equivalent patients who were washed with tap water.
"We found that there was no difference," she says.
"That tells us that if you have got clean tap water that you can drink, it is perfectly safe to wash wounds with that tap water if those wounds aren't infected."
Griffith says the research is changing the way we think about managing some types of wounds.
"It's the cleanliness rather than the sterility [that's important]," she says.
Better for patients and cheaper
Griffiths says washing wounds with tap water would save money in hospitals, especially the cost of the disposable sterile equipment that is required when using saline.
Patients also prefer washing with water, she says, because they can get out of bed and take a shower.
While tap water may be safe and effective, Griffiths still wants to confirm the findings and find out if saline offers any advantages by carrying out a much larger randomised controlled trial.
She has applied for funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council to carry out a trial involving 400 wounds.

Detection of defects or beginning faults is a way to be able to prevent catastrophic faults. Here asymmetrical states of a doubly-fed induction machine, as for example a turn-to-turn fault, are modeled and simulated in state space with hybrid machine equations. These equations are reduced in order of less computation effort. To detect rotor turn-to-turn faults of the doubly-fed induction machine a Luenberger observer is developed and investigated by simulation. The results show a sensitive and fast detection of the fault.

Aid and abet
What's the meaning of the phrase 'Aid and abet'?
To help and encourage, usually in the commission of a crime or anti-social act.
What's the origin of the phrase 'Aid and abet'?
'Aid and abet' is a common enough expression but, whilst 'aid' is well-known, what does 'abet' mean exactly? The word derives from the French 'abeter' - to hound, which itself derives from the Norse 'beita' - to cause to bite.
The phrase 'aid and abet' was coined in the late 18th century, by which time the term 'abet' had lost its original 'cause to bite' meaning. An early example of its use dates from 1798, when George Washington included it in a letter, first published in Writings, 1893. He didn't appear to have any better opinion of the French than that of the US administration concerning the Gallic reluctance to aid and abet the war in Iraq:
"My mind is not a little agitated by the outrageous conduct of France towards the United States, and at the inimitable conduct of its partisans, who aid and abet their measures."
Bear baiting, or as it was first called 'bear abetting', was a popular entertainment in England between the 16th and 19th centuries. It took place in pits in 'bear gardens', in which tethered bears were torn to pieces by trained bulldogs. Such pits were commonplace and some still exist, although they are of course no longer in use.
This'sport' wasn't viewed with the distaste we now have for animal cruelty - Queen Elizabeth I condoned the practice by attending baitings, one of which resulted in 13 dead bears. The Elizabethan writer Robert Laneham described the scene:
"It was a sport very pleasant to see, to see the bear, with his pink eyes, tearing after his enemies approach... and when he was loose to shake his ears twice or thrice with the blood and the slaver hanging about his physiognomy."
So, if you plan to help someone, aid them by all means, but no biting please.

Stop Marvin Nichols
MARVIN NICHOLS RESERVOIR,
Eighty percent of the water from Marvin Nichols Reservoir would be piped to the Dallas/Fort Worth/North Texas area for future water supply. There are numerous options to meet the DFW area's future water demands that would cost less and have much lower impact than building a new reservoir. Water conservation programs could lead to substantial reductions in demand. Several already-existing sources of supply could be tapped for additional supply.
The attached information documents many of the reasons why Marvin Nichols Reservoir is not an appropriate choice as water supply for North Texas.

 - Jenkins Sounds plugin
Skip to end of metadata
Go to start of metadata
Plugin Information
View Sounds on the plugin site for more information.
This plugin allows Jenkins to play arbitrary audio clips as build actions and notifications.
Play sounds on build events
Overview
This plugin is able to play audio clips locally through sound hardware, remotely by piping them through an operating system command, or simultaneously through all browsers that are on a Jenkins page.
When outputting through local hardware, Sounds requires that the Jenkins' server machine has a working sound card and speaker that is not in a remote server room where there's no one around to hear it.
Jenkins can execute a command on a remote machine to play a sound sent through a pipe. This is normally an SSH command to a remote Linux based host that has a working sound card (e.g. 'ssh <host> play -').
If you have HTML5 Audio capable browsers you can configure Sounds to play sounds through all the browsers that are on a Jenkins page.
Compatibility
For all of the options there are varying degrees of support for the multitude of audio file formats. The most widely supported (but the most inefficient) is WAV.
Triggering Sounds
Configured build action
A job can be configured to play a sound as part of its action. You can have jobs dedicated to playing sounds on a schedule, or have the job play a sound as it does other actions.
Configured post-build actions
The build configuration allows you to select a sound to be played for any build state transition. You can configure:
 - for any possible build result
 - a list of previous build results
 - the sound to play
External trigger
A sound can also be triggered by making an HTTP request and passing a URL to the sound to be played. This enables external tools to play sounds through Jenkins.
http://jenkins/sounds/playSound?src=file:///home/jenkins/sounds/somesound.wav
Customising the sound archive
Making a sound archive
The sound archive is a simple .zip or .jar file containing sound files.
Jenkins analyses each file to detect whether it is a valid sound file supported by JavaSound. JavaSound supports AIFF, AU and WAV, see formats.
NOTE: The filename extension does not guarantee that the format is supported. If you have a file that doesn't play, try passing it though a conversion tool like _URL_
Jenkins ignores the archive folder structure (to simplify packaging) and uses the file name less extension as an ID, so keep the archive flat, or avoid having the same filename in multiple folders.
Publishing your sound archive
Jenkins Sounds can read an archive from the local filing system, or an HTTP URL.
 - publish the archive on a local web server and use http://
 - put the archive in Jenkins' local filing system and use file://
NOTE: Jenkins streams the audio from the archive for each event (to reduce memory requirements), so make sure it's not too far away.
Configure Jenkins to use your archive
Within the Configure System section of Jenkins Management locate the settings for Jenkins Sounds.
Enter the path to the archive.
 - Absolute http:// and file:// URLs will be used unmodified.
 - URIs without a protocol will be assumed to be filing system references and converted to file:// URLs.
After changing the sound archive location URL you must save the form before being able to test the sounds.
The Test Sound advanced option shows a list of the sounds found in the archive and their supported format.

 1. Unknown User (orangmalu)
 Hello,
 I find your plugin interesting but would it be possible to let this plugin send the speech to a list of other machines on the same network?
 A lot the time, the Hudson server is not in the same room as the developers.
 Just a suggestion.
 Regards.
 2. Hello folks,
 Has anyone an example howto play a sound on a remote system?
 That would be great!
 Best Regards,
 Jan
 1. Do you mean in general or from the plugin? Assuming you mean from the plugin, if the remote system is *NIX then this is already supported, if you're on Windows then you might be able to use cygwin to make it work. I have plans to make this work on any platform, but it's a way down my to-do list yet.
 3. Hello,
 A neat feature would be a pool of soundfiles in which to choose from for each build type. For example, it could play one of a list of 'success' soundfiles on a successful build, randomized each time.
 Cheers,
 Jeff
 4. What privileges are needed to configure Sound Control Panel?

When you print a TEXTAREA element that is larger than a single page, Internet Explorer only prints the first page of the TEXTAREA.
To work around this problem, hide the TEXTAREA element, and copy the contents of each TEXTAREA in a newly created DIV element during the onBeforePrint event. After you print the page, remove the DIV element during the onAfterPrint event, and the TEXTAREA becomes visible again.

The Influence of Rotating Wheels on Total Road Load
Within in the scope of a road load investigation project at FKFS, the influence of rotating wheels on the road load of a passenger car was investigated. For this purpose an approach was developed to measure the ventilation resistance of a spinning wheel. This approach enables a comparison of different wheel sizes and rim designs. Together with aerodynamic drag measurements in the wind tunnel it is possible to evaluate different wheel configurations with respect to their contribution to the road load. The measuring approach and results of performed measurements are shown in this paper.

iOS Question
How to gGet key value pair tuple array in swift?
I have pairs tuple array pickerDataVisitLocation.just I want to know how to return key value pair location from my array using uniqId ex 204
var pickerDataVisitLocation:[(uniqId:Int,location:String)] = [(203,"Home"),(204,"Hospital"),(205,"Other")]
var selectedIndex = pickerDataVisitLocation[1].uniqId
pickerDataVisitLocation[selectedIndex].location //<--fatal error: Index out of range
Answer
You could make use of Sequence's first(where:) to access the first tuple element of the array that meets a boolean requirement based on the first member of the tuple elements (uniqId). For the resulting tuple element, simply access the second member of the tuple (location).
var pickerDataVisitLocation: [(uniqId: Int, location: String)] =
 [(203, "Home"), (204, "Hospital"), (205, "Other")]
// say for a given uniqId 204
let givenId = 204
let location = pickerDataVisitLocation
 .first{ $0.uniqId == givenId }?.location ?? ""
print(location) // Hospital
If no tuple element can be found for a given id, the method above will result in a resulting string that is empty (due to the nil coalescing operator). As an alternative, you could use an optional binding clause to proceed only for a non-nil return from .first:
var pickerDataVisitLocation: [(uniqId:Int,location:String)] = [(203,"Home"),(204,"Hospital"),(205,"Other")]
// say for a given uniqId 204
let givenId = 204
if let location = pickerDataVisitLocation
 .first(where: { $0.uniqId == givenId })?.location {
 print(location) // Hospital
}

given above.
- All part overs are truncated (i.e. ignore the decimal points to the next lowest whole over). See the following example:
The team batting first scored 149. "Target Score" is therefore 150 runs for the team batting second (149 plus 1 run).
- To score 5 points, the team batting second must pass the 1st innings score within 26 completed overs. (Calculation = 150 / 5.60 = 26.785, truncated to26 overs).
- 4 points = Must reach the Target of 150 within 30 completed overs (150 /5.00 = 30.000000. Truncated to 30).
- 3 points = Must reach the Target of 150 within 34 completed overs (150 /4.40 = 34.090909. Truncated to 34) etc.
- If the side batting second reaches 150 in 30 completed overs, they would score 4 points. If they reach 150 in 30 overs & 1 ball, they would score 3.
- If chasing a very small target, it may occur that, after truncating overs, the same target over applies for different points. In this case, the team that reaches the target in this time shall receive the highest applicable points.
-The points are not cumulative ie the side only scores the maximum attributable points.
Note: Captains of both sides should calculate the number of points earned by each team & include them on the score sheet submitted to the HKCA after each game. These will be verified by the HKCA by checking the information on the scoresheet. The HKCA determination will be final. Therefore, it is important to clearly indicate on the score sheet which over the team batting second scored the target runs, if they won the game. This should be done in the 'remarks' section of the form as follows: "Team (e.g. LSW), batting second, scored the target of (e.g. 150) runs in (e.g. 26 overs); equals (e.g. 5) batting bonus points."
Bowling Bonus Points
10. Bowling Bonus Points are awarded to both sides as follows:
One point each for 2,4, 6 and 8 wickets plus one point for "All Out". (maximum 5 points)
Reduced Overs Matches
11. Should the start of the match be unavoidably delayed due to ground, weather and/or light conditions or other reason, the umpires shall reduce the total number of overs to be bowled by two overs for every six minutes lost (i.e. one over per innings). In the event that a 50-over match is so reduced, the number of overs allowed per bowler and the fielding restrictions shall be reduced as follows:-
12. A fielding circle shall be drawn or otherwise marked with disks by the home side in each game. The circle shall be 27.5m (30 yards) metres in radius measured from the base of both centre stumps. Fielding restrictions AT THE MOMENT OF DELIVERY are as follows:
a) a minimum of four fielders, in addition to the bowler and wicket keeper, must remain within the 27.5m circle throughout the game;
b)for the first 15 overs, there must be no more than two fielders outside the 27.5m circle; and
c)for the first 15 overs there must be a minimum of two stationary (catching) fielders within a 13.72m (15 yards) circle from the striker's wicket.
Note: At the umpire's discretion when a fast bowler is bowling, the 13.72m rule for catching fielders may be relaxed for orthodox slip, gully and leg-slip positions.
13. The umpire at the striker's end shall monitor the position of the fielders and should any of the above conditions not be observed, either umpire shall call and signal No ball.
14. A tie occurs when the scores are level at the conclusion of the game.
15. A WALKOVER shall be awarded to a team whose opposition is unable to raise aside. A side shall comprise no less than seven players.
16. At the conclusion of the season, if the top teams have the same number of points, the following will be the order of precedence for deciding the League Champions:
i. Team with most outright wins.
ii. Team with fewest lost matches.
iii. Team with most bonus points.
17. Should all the above be identical, a play-off match will be arranged. If this is not possible the Championship will be shared.
Sunday league Rules will apply unless specified otherwise.
Entrants and Eligibility
1. a) The top 8 teams from the Sunday League are eligible to enter the Sunday Cup competition. The LCMC may invite other, non-league teams to enter.
b) Teams must submit their player squads in writing to the HKCA before the draw is made for the first round. No transfers or additions will be allowed thereafter without the prior approval of the MDC.
c) All players must have played at least two HKCA matches during the current season.
2. The draw for each round of the Cup will be made by the LCMC Chairman (or his representative) and a minimum of three HKCA members appointed by him. Teams will not be seeded before the draw and its date, time and venue published in advance.
3. All matches except the final will be played on the home ground of the first drawn team, whenever possible.
4. The Sunday Cup will be held on a simple knockout basis. Playing conditions for the Cup will be the same as for the League except that:
a) Intervals will be limited to one, 10-minute drinks break after 25 overs in each innings with a 30-minute lunch break taken between innings.
b) No bowler may bowl more than 10 overs per innings.
c) Matches abandoned as no result will be re-scheduled, if possible. If not, the result may be decided by the toss of a coin.
d) Any expenses incurred during the game are to be shared equally between the teams.
5. a) The team scoring the higher number of runs in the allocated number of overs shall win.
b) In the event of tied scores, the team losing fewer wickets will win.
c) If both teams have scored the same number of runs and have lost the same number of wickets, the winner will be the team with the superior run rate (total runs scored divided by the total number of balls bowled). If still equal, the superior run rate after 20 overs (and, if necessary, 10 overs) will decide the winner.
All HKCA members, players and officials agree to take positive steps to maintain the high reputation of cricket and of the Hong Kong Cricket Association. Players must approach the game with a determined, winning attitude, i.e. play hard but maintain control.
1. Everyone on the field shall ensure that the match is conducted within the Laws of Cricket and the Spirit of the Game.

In order to make a clap switch, we have to combine the touch sensor(monostable mode of 555 and the transistorized dark sensor circuits. Whenever there is loud sound produced near the electret condenser mic, pin 2 of 555 gets triggered and it switches on the LED D1. The LED remains on for a definite time determined by R1 and C1. We can adjust the sensitivity of the circuit using a variable resistor in place of fixed resistor R5. You can check the circuit with 1K or 10K.

In this post, we discuss the potential problems of epoxy grout and how they can be solved. We also take a look at advantages of using epoxy grout over its silicone counterpart.
Will Epoxy Grout Turn Yellow?
The answer is yes! Epoxy grout can yellow over time. The color of epoxy grout can change depending on how it's mixed and what material you use.
If you use the right type of material, then the color won't change over time. But if you don't use the right material, then it will definitely turn yellow in just a few months.

- Does Epoxy Grout Darken over Time?
- Does Epoxy Grout Discolor?
- Does Epoxy Grout Last Longer than Cement Based?
- Is Epoxy Grout More Expensive than Normal Grout?
- Is Epoxy Grout difficult to Apply?
- What type of Tools and Materials are Needed to Apply Epoxy grout?
- Epoxy can become discolored, however, epoxy color packs can help prevent this problem.
Does Epoxy Grout Stain?
You might be wondering, does epoxy grout yellow over time? The good news is that it doesn't. Epoxy grout is stain resistant, which means it won't absorb stains from dirt or oils in the air like standard vinyl and acrylic tile grouts do.
This means that when you clean your bathroom or kitchen, you'll be able to wipe down your tiles without worrying about damaging your beautiful new flooring.
It'll also save you from having to scrub at stubborn stains with harsh chemicals every couple of weeks!
If you're worried about maintaining this lovely look over time—don't be! Epoxy grout is as easy as soap and water in terms of cleaning requirements; all it takes is a few minutes of scrubbing with hot soapy water to get rid of any lingering dirt or oil buildup. That's all there is to it!
Is Epoxy Grout Better than Silicone?
In comparison to silicone, epoxy grout is a better choice on many levels. First and foremost, it is water resistant; this means that you can safely expose your bathroom flooring or kitchen flooring to water without worry of damage.
Silicone is not waterproof. Think about your bathtub or shower – there are multiple places where water hits the wall and floor before draining out again. When silicone gets wet, it will begin to disintegrate over time and cause mold and mildew growth within your home!
Secondly, epoxy grout is stain resistant; this means that you can be confident that if something spills on your bathroom or kitchen floorings they will remain clean looking for years after installation!
Silicone may look nice at first but spills will leave permanent marks in their wake. Thirdly, epoxy grout has much greater durability than silicone – even though both products are non-porous (meaning dirt doesn't get trapped in between tiles like traditional tile), epoxy grout holds up better under constant foot traffic over time.
Does Epoxy Grout Darken over Time?
Yes, epoxy grout can darken over time. The discoloration happens because of UV exposure. The rate of discoloration will depend on several factors including the color, amount, and frequency of sunlight that the grout is exposed to and how well the application was done.
If you want to prevent your epoxy floor tile from turning dark over time, you should use a color pack when laying down your epoxy grout.
Color packs are made up of special pigments that will absorb excess light before it reaches your tiles' surface and cause them to fade prematurely.
They also help protect against water spots caused by condensation on cold surfaces (like in bathrooms) or if there is a lot of moisture coming through your walls or windows during humid months like summertime or wintertime depending on where you live (you get it).
Does Epoxy Grout Discolor?
Epoxy grout, like any other building material, can discolor over time. This can happen for a variety of reasons. For example:
- The epoxy grout may be exposed to harsh elements such as sunlight or water. This can cause it to yellow over time, but it will often return to its original color once you seal the tile with a protective finish like wax or oil.
- Epoxy grout is susceptible to chemical reactions with certain materials such as acids, alkalis and other chemicals that have a pH level of less than 7 (the level at which most materials start breaking down). If you leave your tiles exposed to high heat or humidity levels, this could cause them to discolor as well.
Does Epoxy Grout Last Longer than Cement Based?
You might be wondering: How long does epoxy grout last? Well, the answer is up to you! Epoxy grout has been shown to withstand a lot of wear and tear. In fact, it's resistant to stains, mold, water damage, and bacteria.
That being said, like most things in life—from people to shoes—your epoxy grout should receive regular maintenance.
If you look after your grout with care (by cleaning it properly), then you can expect it to remain in good condition for years on end.
Like cement-based products though, if you don't take care of your epoxy product then it won't last anywhere near as long as advertised by manufacturers or stores selling them!
To keep your grout looking pristine for longer than its original lifespan requires dedication from homeowners who want their home improvement projects completed once rather than having them repaired two times over before they even finish!
Is Epoxy Grout More Expensive than Normal Grout?
Yes, epoxy grout is more expensive than regular grout. It is a premium product and has to be applied by professionals in order to get the best results.
It also requires special equipment that you may not have on-site, meaning you'll need to send it out for professional installation.
However, if you're interested in epoxy grout primarily because of its stain-resistance properties or ability to withstand harsh elements like moisture and sunlight (which can cause regular grout joints to deteriorate over time), then it makes sense that you would be willing to pay more upfront for this added protection from staining and discoloration.
Epoxy grouts are designed with these factors in mind: durability, stain resistance, mold/mildew resistance, and bacteria resistance (and virtually no odor!).
So yes—epoxies will hold up better than standard grouts over time—but they come at a higher price tag due mostly because they require professional installation services which generally cost more money per square foot than DIY jobs like installing traditional cementitious products such as concrete slabs or tiles."
Is Epoxy Grout difficult to Apply?
Though epoxy grout is a bit more difficult to mix than traditional grout, it's no more difficult to apply. The first step in applying epoxy grout is mixing it with water and the appropriate hardener.
When you're finished mixing the epoxy, you'll want to immediately begin applying it to your joints between tiles.
Epoxy can be applied by hand or with a trowel; however, it doesn't require a special float as you would need for traditional grout.
After finishing all your joints and seams, let them dry overnight before sealing them so they don't get wet during this process.
Once dry, simply use a sponge or rag soaked in water or cleaning solution (like bleach) and wipe down your surfaces thoroughly until they become clean again!
What type of Tools and Materials are Needed to Apply Epoxy grout?
- Grout float
- Grout sponge
- Grout brush
- Grout bag
Epoxy can become discolored, however, epoxy color packs can help prevent this problem.
It's true that epoxy grout may yellow over time. However, if you are diligent about keeping your faucets and surface clean, you'll be able to keep the discoloration at bay for a long time.
In addition to this, there are also concrete color packs available that can help prevent yellowing.
If your current epoxy is starting to look a little dingy, consider using these color packs or replacing it altogether with new epoxy grout!
Epoxy is a great grout option. It's durable, easy to install and can be used in many different applications. You should use epoxy if you want a long-lasting product that won't discolor or stain over time.

It's not that hard to create such a template yourself or modify another template to contain a radial progress indicator. Start by creating the base frame with a circle object and lines going out to boxes or other circles. Label each object. Now duplicate the slide as many times as needed. Last, go to each of the duplicated slides and bold the text on the active item you're about to cover or perhaps change the background color like in the example you provided.

Dermatologist Richard Weller wants to know: Why are Scots so sick?
Edinburgh-native Richard Weller was studying medicine in Australia when something suddenly struck him as odd: Why are the Scots so sick? Australians suffer from heart disease at one-third the rate that Britons do, with lower death rates from heart attacks and heart failure, and fewer strokes overall. When Weller looked into it, this wasn't unique to Australia and England: In fact, there are wide gaps in mortality even within the UK, a gradient which maps roughly... geographically? A five-degree change in latitude -- between London and Edinburg, for example -- shows a nearly 20 percent higher rate of mortality. Weller and his team have been working ever since to crack this mysterious gap, and most recently their research shows it may be related to exposure to sunlight. Nitric oxide (NO), a chemical transmitter produced by the skin and stored in great reserves, is released by exposure to UV rays, and this in turn is very important to cardiovascular health.
Weller is a senior lecturer in Dermatology at the University of Edinburgh. His two areas of study are the role of NO in human skin physiology and the role of skin barrier function deficiencies in atopic disease.

Are there really glaciers in Colorado?
Colorado proclaims 14 named glaciers—and more than 100 unnamed—within state borders, but all of them seem rather, well, frozen in place. Aren't glaciers supposed to move? As in, are these "glaciers" actually glaciers? The answer is yes—with an asterisk. Our state is home to 141 masses of ice whose size and weight cause them to flow like a very slow river—the definition of glacierhood per the National Snow & Ice Data Center. But according to W.T. Pfeffer, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, one of our most famous glaciers isn't quite worthy of its name: Saint Mary's Glacier, while impressive, is "just a gully that traps snow in a big drift." Take that to your next pub trivia night.

Interface backup supports the master/slave and load balancing backup mode. From V200R001C01, interface backup supports the following association modes: association between interface backup and NQA, interface backup and BFD, and interface backup and routing.
Method used to back up data on the USG6000
The methods used for backing up configuration content and restoring the configuration are as follows: 1. Back up and restore profiles using the FTP, SFTP, and TFTP servers (recommended). This method is applicable to the situation in which a large number of devices are maintained in a centralized manner. 2. If the device serves as an FTP server, you can configure the FTP server function for configuration backup and restoration without configuring FTP software. Open FTP ports cause certain potential security risks. 3. Back up the profiles on the storage server. The operation is simple and does not require other software. If the data is backed up on the same storage media, the primary and backup profiles may be damaged simultaneously. 4. The configuration data backup and restoration on the web UI is simple. You need to configure the web login in advance.

Definitions for joints in belts
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Joints in Belts
Belt-joints for electric plants where the belts drive dynamos should be made with special care. The least inequality affects the electro-motive force. Butt joints are, generally speaking, the best, where the ends of the belt are placed in contact and laced. Lap-joints are made by overlapping the belt, and unless the belt is carefully tapered so as to preserve uniform strength, the speed of the dynamo will vary and also the electromotive force.

# Interactive Mode
As well as exposing 'traditional' terminal commands, Fractal also provides an interactive CLI for you to work with on your projects. This greatly speeds up running commands and allows you to do things like start a dev server instance and then still be able to run subsequent commands in the same CLI window.
You launch the interactive CLI by running the fractal command in your terminal. This will drop you into interactive mode, and you should see an info box appear in your terminal, with a prompt beneath it.
You can tell when you are in interactive mode because your terminal prompt will look like this:
fractal ➤
You can now enter commands to interact with your fractal project.
# Running commands
Commands in interactive mode are identical to the standard-format commands, except that you no longer need to prefix them with fractal.
For example, to start the dev server when in interactive mode, just use the start command. Flags can be used as per usual:
start --sync
Servers will run in the background without blocking the CLI so you can start a dev server instance and then run multiple subsequent commands without having to open up a new terminal window.
# Interactive CLI tips
 - You can use the help command at any point to show all the available commands.
 - To exit the interactive CLI and go back into your'regular' terminal, use the exit command.
 - Global (as opposed to project-level) commands cannot be run from within the interactive CLI.


text: © 2017 by Trakya University Faculty of Medicine/The Balkan Medical Journal published by Galenos Publishing House.Background: Intraabdominal adhesions remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Moreover, intraabdominal adhesions can develop in more than 50% of abdominal operations. Aims: We compared the anti-adhesive effects of two different agents on postoperative adhesion formation in a cecal abrasion model. Study Design: Experimental animal study. Methods: Forty Wistar albino type female rats were anesthetized and underwent laparotomy. Study groups comprised Sham, Control, Mitomycin-C, 4% Icodextrin, and Mitomycin-C +4% Icodextrin groups. Macroscopic and histopathological evaluations of adhesions were performed. Results: The frequencies of moderate and severe adhesions were significantly higher in the control group than the other groups. The mitomycin-C and Mitomycin-C +4% Icodextrin groups were associated with significantly lower adhesion scores compared to the control group and 4% Icodextrin group scores (p=0.002 and p=0.008, respectively). The adhesion scores of the Mitomycin-C group were also significantly lower than those of the 4% Icodextrin group (p=0.008). Conclusion: Despite its potential for bone marrow toxicity, Mitomycin-C seems to effectively prevent adhesions. Further studies that prove an acceptable safety profile relating to this promising anti-adhesive agent are required before moving into clinical trials.

text: This study develops a new inverse analysis technique for estimating damage patterns in notched composite laminates using an embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor. The damage pattern near the notch was investigated by using a layer-wise finite-element model with cohesive elements for cracks and delamination. The reflection spectrum of the FBG sensor was simulated from the strain distribution obtained along the gage length. We approximated the typical damage pattern (splits, transverse cracks, and delamination) near the notch using some variables; these were then estimated through mathematical programming by minimizing the differences of spectrum shapes between the inputs (e.g. experiments) and the estimations. This damage identification procedure was applied to numerical examples, i.e. simulation results, for a notched CFRP cross-ply laminate. The damage patterns estimated from the calculated reflection spectra were almost identical to those obtained by the simulation. Finally, we estimated the damage pattern of a notched laminate from a measured reflection spectrum of an embedded FBG sensor and demonstrated the capability of the developed identification procedure for practical applications.

Looking at the source, it could be that Mechanize is supposed to work like that. It forces the form method to uppercase when it fetches the form; you are expected to supply the method in uppercase when you want to match it. You might ping the mechanize person(s) and ask them if it's supposed to work like that.
Here in Mechanize.submit, it forces the form method to uppercase before comparing it:
def submit(form, button=nil, headers={})
 case form.method.upcase
 when 'POST'
 when 'GET'
and here again in Form.initialize, the method is forced to uppercase:
 def initialize(node, mech=nil, page=nil)
 _USER_ = (node['method'] || 'GET').upcase
But in page.rb is the code where mechanize is matching a form (or link, base, frame or iframe) against the parameters you gave, the parameter you passed in is not forced to uppercase, so it's a case sensitive match:
 def #{type}s_with(criteria)
 criteria = {:name => criteria} if String === criteria
 f = #{type}s.find_all do |thing|
 criteria.all? { |k,v| v === thing.send(k) }
 yield f if block_given?
Well, it's a case sensitive match if you pass in a string. But if you pass in a regex, it's a regex match. So you ought to be able to do this:
login_form = page.form_with(:method => /post/i)
and have it work fine. But I would probably just pass in an uppercase String, send the Mechanize person(s) an email, and move on.

Mass Update - Position Data Overide/Use Position Data (Doc ID _PHONE_.1)
Last updated on NOVEMBER 17, 2020
Applies to:
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Mass update functionality is not working when creating two future rows on job data. The first future row to reduce standard hours by overriding position data and the second future row to reinstate standard hours back using position data defaults.
The issue can be replicated as follows:
The process is not successful when using Mass Update.
Nav: Workforce Admin>Collective Processes>Mass Update>Define Mass Update
1. Created a definition to create a job row(future dated) to override a job's position std_hours.
2. Definition had data changes of Service WRK_LOC changing element POSITION_OVERRIDE =Y (boolean).
3. Executed successfully.
4. Created a second definition to create another row further into the future to Use the Position data defaults (no position override).
5. Definition had data changes of Service WRK_LOC changing element POSITION_OVERRIDE =N (boolean).
6. Executed successfully.
7. Job row with correct effective date was created with no changes to the job records, position data and is still shown as override.
The process is successful and works as expected when manually updating Job Data.
1. Create future row and override position data, change std hours from 40 to 32.
2. Create another future row and use position data which brings in the std hours of 40 from position data.

The incised fluvial valleys of the northern Gulf Coast are subdivided into two general categories, high and low sediment supply systems. Low sediment supply valleys are those fluvial valleys where sediment supply is relatively low and the valley is filled partially with estuarine and marine deposits. High sediment supply valleys are those where sediment supply is high enough to fill the valley with fluvial deposits. Modern low sediment supply valleys are occupied by bays, such as Mobile and Galveston bays. Modern high sediment supply rivers flow directly to the coast, such as the Brazos River. High sediment supply rivers are prone to avulsion and therefore occupy numbers valleys over repeated glacial eustatic cycles whereas low sediment supply rivers tend to re-occupy the same valley during several glacial eustatic cycles. Therefore, low sediment supply rivers act more a point sources of sediment to the shelf and slope whereas high sediment supply rivers act more as line sources over several glacial eustatic cycles.

carnage /kάɚnɪdʒ/ : 大量虐殺
原義はラテン語のcarnaticum (動物を屠ること)です。同義語はmassacre, genocide, mass murderです。
Carnage means "killing many people during war". The etymology comes from carnem (meat). The original meaning is Latin carnaticum (slaughter of animals). Its synonyms are massacre, genocide and mass murder. Let's see examples of carnage.
In the Middle Ages, Europeans carried out carnage to Native Americans and Indigenous Australians. During WW2, Nazis carried out carnage to Jewish people.
carnal /kάɚnl/ : 肉体の
Carnal means "relating to one's body". The etymology comes from carnis (of the meat). The original meaning is Latin carnalis (natural). Its synonym is sensual. Let's see example sentences of carnal.
All human has carnal desire for species preservation (or conservation). Female's plump body excite male's carnal desire. It is unwise to live only for carnal pleasure.
carnation /kɑɚnéɪʃən/ : カーネーション
Carnation means "a red flower". The etymology comes from caro (meat). The original meaning is Latin carnationem (meat).
Carnation is the perennial plant which makes bright red flowers. It is indigenous to from Southern Europe to Mediterranean coasts in Western Asia. In Islamic countries where the worship of idols are banned, they use a carnation as Arabesque's patterns. The red carnation's flower language is "the love for mother", and so Japan has the culture where children gives red carnation to their mother in Mother's Day.
carnival /kάɚnəv(ə)l/ : 謝肉祭・カーニバル
carnivalは「謝肉祭」を意味し、語源はcaro(肉)とlavare(離れる)に由来します。原義はラテン語のcarne vale (肉よ、さらば！)です。
Carnival means "a kind of festival". The etymology comes from caro (meat) and lavera (to leave). The original meaning is Latin carne vale (meat, farewell!).
Carnival is a festival hold before Lent (click here for more detail of Lent). During Lent, people should have an abstemious diet, so they eat meat as they like in Carnival. Carnival literally means festival to "say farewell to meat". During carnival, people have a fancy dress parade or events of throwing sweets and flowers. After carnival, Lent begins, and people have a simple meal until the Easter after 40 days.
carnivore /kάɚnəv'ɔɚ/ : 肉食動物
Carnivore means "animals which feed on other animals". The etymology comes from caro (meat) and vorare (devour).
Carnivore is an animal that feed on other animals. Carnivorous animals eat meat and organs, which is easily digested, and so their digestive organs have more simpler structure than those of herbivorous animals. Carnivores eat animals similar to themselves, so they can take enough nourishment and salt.
However, carnivores have difficulty with getting their foods. Animals preyed by carnivores are always running away, so they have to maintain an ability to catch them. Otherwise, carnivores will starve to death.
incarnation /ìnkɑɚnéɪʃən/ : 受肉
Incarnation means "the act of God forming into a human". The etymology comes from in (within) and caro (meat). The original meaning is Latin incarnationem (the act of being made flesh).
Incarnation is the act of God coming in the form of human. Especially in Christianity, incarnation means that the God's child, Christ appear as human named Jesus.
reincarnation /rìːìnkɑɚnéɪʃən/ : 転生・輪廻
Reincarnation means "living again after one's death". The etymology comes from re (again) and incarnation (forming into flesh).
Reincarnation means to living things died live again after their death. The idea of reincarnation exist not only in Buddhism, but also in Hindu and Jainism. Buddhism regard reincarnation as suffering, and their goal is to be liberated from it.
In recent Japan, reincarnation is used in fantasy novels. Reincarnation to another world is the popular genre in a certain novel-sharing website. It is common story that uncool NEET or shut-in people are suddenly hit by a truck, reincarnate into cool and competent guy, and get popular with many young women.

I'm having trouble understanding Postgres's CASCADE DELETE behavior.
If table_A REFERENCES table_B, and the column referenced could have multiple instances of the same value, will the table_A row be DELETEd even if there are still valid references upon a table_B DELETE?
If so, how can table_A only be DELETEd by CASCADE when there are no valid references left?
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
up vote 2 down vote accepted
I think you must be misunderstanding CASCADE foreign keys, and/or the rules around foreign keys in general.
A foreign key can only refer to a table with a unique constraint or primary key. So in your example, you cannot create a foreign key referencing table_b if there can be multiple instances of a value in the referenced column.
When you DELETE FROM ... a table, and another table has an ON DELETE CASCADE foreign key reference to it, all referencing rows are deleted from the other table.
The column referenced cannot have multiple instances of the value, because you cannot create a foreign key to a column that is not unique.
The referring column of the table with the constraint may have multiple values that refer to the column in the referenced table. If so, when the referenced value is removed, all these are deleted, as you would expect in a CASCADE.
regress=> CREATE TABLE table_b (id integer);
CREATE TABLE
regress=> INSERT INTO table_b (id) VALUES (1), (2), (3), (1);
INSERT 0 4
Can't create the foreign key, no unique constraint or PK:
regress=> CREATE TABLE table_a (b_id integer REFERENCES table_b(id) ON DELETE CASCADE);
ERROR: there is no unique constraint matching given keys for referenced table "table_b"
Can't add a PK or unique constraint, has duplicates:
regress=> ALTER TABLE table_b ADD PRIMARY KEY (id);
ERROR: could not create unique index "table_b_pkey"
DETAIL: Key (id)=(1) is duplicated.

text: Boundary layer and trailing edge flow activities were recorded using hydrogen bubble flow visualization techniques on an oscillating lifting surface in a two-dimensional water tunnel. Simultaneous with flow documentation, unsteady lift was measured over a range of reduced frequencies from 0.5 to 10. Unsteady loads using classical, inviscid theories were predicted for the experimental conditions investigated. Reduced frequency bands exhibiting poor agreement between experiment and theory were identified and a correlation to observed flow phenomena was accomplished. The results support the use of a separate viscous model near the trailing edge coupled with an inviscid flow field model to predict unsteady loads. The results further show that for certain reduced frequency bands, classical inviscid solutions may be applicable and adequate.

How to Write an Unemployment Appeal Letter
A woman is typing.
Image Credit: serezniy/iStock/Getty Images
Unemployment departments deny benefits for various reasons, including information received from your employer. If your application for unemployment benefits is denied, you can appeal against the decision. Processes vary by state, but you usually need to start by writing a letter to the department. Your state will have an appeal deadline, such as 30 days after receipt of a denial letter, so you may need to move quickly.
Step 1
Check your state's unemployment guidelines to find out what you must include in your appeal letter. Find appeal letter requirements at your state's official unemployment website or contact the department by phone.
Step 2
Type a contact list of any witnesses you have on a separate piece of paper. Include each person's name, address and phone number. Label the contact list with your name and case number at the top.
Step 3
Use a basic business letter format if your state does not provide an appeal letter format. Set your text to the left margin of the paper. Start with the date. Skip a single line and type the unemployment department's address. Skip another line for your name, address and other information the department may use to identify you quickly, such as your case number or Social Security number.
Step 4
Write a paragraph briefly describing the reason for your denial as shown on the denial letter, and focus on facts that oppose the reason and support your appeal. Describe any proof you have of your claims and state you have attached copies. Include the names of your witnesses and state that you have attached their contact information.
Step 5
Close the letter with a restatement of your intention to appeal the denial of benefits. Use a formal closing, such as "Sincerely," and leave space for your signature. Type your name and contact information underneath the signature space. Type the word "Attachments" below your contact information.
Step 6
Attach a copy of your denial letter, your witness contact list and copes of all evidence. Send the letter to the appeals address for your state's unemployment department.
Do not include originals of your proof. Use copies only.

This is a broad question so for simplicity I will use Seal of Fire and Naturalize.
Scenario 1: Common exchangecreating a baseline.
 - Player A uses Naturalize on Seal of Fire
 - Player B Sacrifices SoF in response. SoF is highest on the stack and goes off first.
 - This leaves Naturalize without a valid target.
Scenario 2: Complicated exchangeIs this legal?
 - Player B Sacrifices SoF.
 - In response Player A targets it with Naturalize.
 - SoF is on the stack and it's ability has not resolved. Player B (as above) sacrifices SoF in response to the Naturalize.
Can Seal of Fire be placed back on the stack by re-activating its ability, potentially with a new target?
share|improve this question
2 Answers 2
No, your second example is not possible using the game rules.
Player A cannot target SoF with Naturalize, because it is currently in the graveyard. If they wanted to target the SoF, they need to do so when they had priority. Player A cannot prevent the SoF from being sacrificed for its ability anyway, since the ability exists independently of the source that created it. Seal of Fire says, "Sacrifice Seal of Fire: Seal of Fire deals 2 damage to target creature or player." It is an activate ability whose [Cost] is "Sacrifice Seal of Fire." If Player B paid the cost to activate SoF, it would no longer be on the battlefield by the time the Active Player received priority.
112.3b Activated abilities have a cost and an effect. They are written as "[Cost]: [Effect.] [Activation instructions (if any).]" A player may activate such an ability whenever he or she has priority. Doing so puts it on the stack, where it remains until it's countered, it resolves, or it otherwise leaves the stack. See rule 602, "Activating Activated Abilities."
116.1. Unless a spell or ability is instructing a player to take an action, which player can take actions at any given time is determined by a system of priority. The player with priority may cast spells, activate abilities, and take special actions.
 - It is not possible to sacrifice a permanent twice. After you sacrifice a permanent, it is placed into its owner's graveyard.
share|improve this answer
I was under the impression that because the ability had not resolved, as it was interrupted by the naturalize, it was placed on the stack before the card reached the graveyard. – Stormchild Mar 3 '12 at 19:29
_USER_ You pay all costs at the time you activate an ability (i.e. put it on the stack). The actions you take as part of paying costs don't use the stack. – Alex P Mar 3 '12 at 20:14
To put Alex's comment another way, the card goes to the graveyard at the same time as the ability is first placed on the stack. There is no opportunity for you or your opponent to do anything between the ability being placed on the stack and the moving of the Seal to the graveyard. The casting of Naturalize happens well after both of those actions. – David Z Mar 4 '12 at 7:46
user1873 is right. Scenario 2 is not legal since the sacrificing is a cost. To try to it clarify further: If Seal of Fire instead did "T: Destroy ~this~ and deal 2 damage to target player" it would still deal 2 damage to the player if you destroyed it before the ability resolved.
112.7a Once activated or triggered, an ability exists on the stack independently of its source. Destruction or removal of the source after that time won't affect the ability. Note that some abilities cause a source to do something (for example, "Prodigal Sorcerer deals 1 damage to target creature or player") rather than the ability doing anything directly. In these cases, any activated or triggered ability that references information about the source because the effect needs to be divided checks that information when the ability is put onto the stack. Otherwise, it will check that information when it resolves. In both instances, if the source is no longer in the zone it's expected to be in at that time, its last known information is used. The source can still perform the action even though it no longer exists.
A common analogy is that of a soldier throwing a grenade at you. Shooting the soldier after he has thrown the grenade won't prevent the grenade from killing you
The only way you can stop it is either counter the ability (Stifle) or prevent it from fulfill other restrictions like destroying mountains for Valakut, the molten pinnacle's land limit.
