Risk Behavior-Based Trajectory Prediction for Construction Site Safety Monitoring
Construction sites are often described as some of the most hazardous work environments due to the unscripted nature of tasks which puts workers and equipment in close proximity, potentially resulting in near-miss situations or life-threatening contact collisions. Previous research has investigated location-aware methods to improve construction safety but has mostly fallen short in exploring the extent to which prediction techniques can be used to model and formulate the role and attributes of individual workers in addition to the physical characteristics of the jobsite that may lead to safety incidents. This paper studies the feasibility of a preemptive proximity-based safety framework by investigating two trajectory prediction models, namely polynomial regression (PR) and hidden Markov model (HMM). The HMM prediction is further calibrated by factoring in a worker's risk profile, which is a measure of his or her affinity for or aversion to risky behavior near hazards. The method is tested in a series of field experiments involving trajectories of different shapes and complexity. Results demonstrate that the developed methodology can reliably detect unsafe movements and impending collision events.

Cast Resin transformers are known for the excellent and advantageous fire behavior. In no way can a dry-type cast resin transformer be considered as suitable or acceptable if it hasn't been F1 certified.
SETF went the extra mile to attain this certification and make sure that every Copper-Cast transformer supplied is F1 classified according to the HD 464 S1 standard.
One Copper-Cast coil was placed in a test chamber. The combined effect of burning and flammable material and 24 resistors radiant panels resulted in a flux of about 3 W/ towards the tested object. The heat transfer and the burning was sustained for 40 and 70 minutes respectively.
The smoke outlet maximum recorded temperature rise was 283 degrees Kelvin (way beyond the 420 K accepted by the standard)
The smoke outlet temperature rise measured after 45 minutes was 71 degrees Kelvin (which is almost half the 140 K stipulated by the standard)
The smoke outlet temperature rise measured after 60 minutes was 46 degrees Kelvin (again an outstanding 50% of the 80 K allowed by the standard)
The minimum visible light transmittance in the air outlet chimney was 40% after 21 minutes of sustained burning, and the averaged transmittance was 80%. Two figures that are way above the minimum 20% required by the standard
With those results at hand you are now sure that every Copper-Cast ordered and delivered is going to have a superior behavior even in the unfortunate event of a fire.
With the above shown results, Copper-Cast stresses the advantage of cast resin transformers in general and itself in particular, leaving you with a peace of mind and security wherever those transformers might be installed

Do not miss this list of the best Mexican movies of yesterday and today that will make you enjoy the magic of cinema in all its registers. Mexican cinema has bequeathed wonderful pieces to the history of cinema, some better known and others less so, in a long cinematographic tradition from which current seventh art animals such as Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuaron and Inarritu emerge.

Romantic Mexican Movies Mexican
cinema, rooted in a culture with a rich tragicomic obscurantist imagery, has been little given to the romantic genre. However, since the 1990s, some films have managed to win the hearts of viewers and critics. 1. Como agua para chocolate (Alfonso Arau, 1992)
Rarely has a literary triumph of the magnitude of Como agua para chocolate, by the Mexican writer Laura Esquivel, been transferred so successfully to the cinema. It was done in 1992 by the director Alfonso Arau and the result was one of the Mexican love movies with a great international impact.
The film reflects the soul of Mexican art, with a tribute to magical realismset in a love story in times of the revolution. In this case, gastronomy is used as a metaphor for Tita's frustrated love, condemned to remain single to take care of her mother. 2. Sex, modesty and tears (Antonio Serrano, 1999)
After a few years of creative drought, the nineties were refreshing for Mexican cinema and received the name of New Era. At that stage, one of the great successes was undoubtedly Sex, modesty and tears, which was on billboards for 27 weeks .
Antonio Serrano wrote it to be staged in the theater, but after its success he decided to adapt it to the cinema, where he received the final boost. The key was in the direct and humorous way in which a series of stories that reflect onthe war of the sexes, the crushes and the disappointments in love . 3. Amar te duele (Martha Higareda, 2002)
The romantic Mexican movies had another rebound with the premiere of a tender and brave movie like Amar te duele, by Martha Higareda, which over the years has become an icon of pop culture in the country
The success of the story, in addition to being very well told and having a fast pace, is the presentation of love as a source of tension for economic differences and social discrimination in Mexico . It presents a plot schematic with the classic love story of a young upper-class girl and a humble student who have to challenge her environment. mexican horror movies
Although it has never been the star genre in Mexico, horror has been quite successful in Mexican cinema. The following titles stand out as the most successful among the dozens of scary movies. 4. The Vampire (Fernando Mendez, 1957)
The Mexican homage to Bram Stoker's Dracula resulted, as early as the late fifties, in a cult movie that is still, for many, the best horror movie ever made. has done in Mexico.
The Vampire, by Fernando Mendez, seizes the viewer in a psychological and fantastic terror. The story of a peasant girl who goes to visit her sick aunt and the harrowing journey she undertakes along an unknown path hand in hand with a suspicious traveler.they combine the myth of the vampire with the Mexican rural world . 5. Macario (Roberto Gavaldon, 1960)
Ten years after Los Olvidados, by Luis Bunuel, Roberto Gavaldon challenged the genre with Macario, resulting in a film that mixes drama, terror and magical realism . Because from the tragic portrait of misery that overwhelms the viewer, the director develops a progression that leads to comedy and the leading role that fantasy acquires.
In addition to the approach to the misery of the Mexican peasant, which offers a rich social perspective, it introduces magical, traditional and atavistic elements that are reflected in the relationship of the peasant Macario with death on the eve of the Day of the Dead.6. Even the wind is afraid (Carlos Enrique Taboada, 1969)
One of the essential names in Mexican horror movies is Carlos Enrique Taboada, who, in addition to the movie that we bring up here, rose to fame with Veneno para las hadas (1984 ) to overwhelming critical acclaim and several well-deserved awards.
However, the film that made him known was Until the wind is afraid, the first great terrifying movie with public success in Mexico. The effective argument (a banshee who wants to possess the body of a student terrorizes a girls' boarding school) was executed with a practical rigor that gave the film quality. In 2007 he inspired a remake to be forgotten. 7. Chronos (Guillermo del Toro, 1993)
The debut of one of the reference names in fantastic cinema today, Guillermo del Toro, speaks for itself of the qualities of genius. Cronos presents many elements that he has later perfected in Pan's Labyrinth or The Shape of Water.
A magical item from the time of the Inquisition gives the power of eternal life to its owner, and will change the life of an old man when he accidentally falls into its hands. With this argument, Guillermo del Toro laid the foundation stone for a cinema that stimulates the imagination through a suggestive alliance of terror, suspense and tenderness .

Mexican Comedy Movies
If culture is the embodiment of national character, Mexican cinema perfectly reflects the sharp sense of humor of Mexicans and their tendency to satire and jokes. From there have come hilarious and witty movies that you can't miss. 8. There is the detail (Juan Bustillo Oro, 1940) The unforgettable character of Cantinflas , who has made entire generations laugh all over the world, made his debut as a leading role in what is also his most hilarious film.
There is the detail, by Juan Bustillo Oro, it is the typical comedy of entanglements in which fortuitous situations give rise to the most absurd scenes.
The agility of the film aroused the applause of the public and critics, but above all, it showed for the first time what later became known as the "cantinfleo": the graceful verbiage with which, in this case, Mario Moreno Cantinflas blames himself before the judge. 9. Herod's Law (Luis Estrada, 1999)
The best Mexican comedy of all time, and it is because it masterfully combines the two sides of the soul of Mexican culture : satire and tragedy. Humor and drama go hand in hand in this feature film that has been singled out as black humor.
The first scene leads the way: the inhabitants of San Pedro de los Saguaros mercilessly behead the mayor when he tries to flee with the town's taxes. It is, in addition to a great movie,a criticism of the corruption that shocked the country at the time . 10. Paraiso (Mariana Chenillo, 2014)
After a few years without much luck in the Mexican comedy film, the film of a budding director like Mariana Chenillo dazzled the public and the critics. The fresh air that Paraiso transmits is one of those pleasant surprises that the cinematographic talent in Mexico continues to provide.
The key to the success of this film is its lack of pretension: Chenillo abandons the biting and excessively refined humor to offer a light comedy that is both tender and welcoming. A love fable, a story of overcoming and personal growth, according to the director, around the adventures of a fat couple .Mexican drama
films At the same time, Mexican art is deeply impacted by the problems of the human soul and social criticism, and this has been reflected in breathtaking films that invite reflection. The best Mexican directors have taken full advantage of the dramatic genre. 11. The Forgotten (Luis Bunuel, 1950)
The Spanish filmmaker Luis Bunuel, who in his exile became a Mexican national, shot an unforgettable film in 1950, The Forgotten, which earned him the award for best director at the Cannes Film Festival and showed why It is in the Olympus of the history of cinema.
In a drama inspired by the Italian neorealism of Roberto Rossellini, with the stamp of bunuelian surrealism, transports us to the tragic daily life of poor children in the marginal neighborhoods of Mexico City. It also forces us to question ourselves about the close link between poverty and juvenile delinquency. 12. Red Dawn (Jorge Fons, 1989)
This film won the San Sebastian Film Festival prize surrounded by great controversy: firstly, because it dealt with a taboo subject at the time, the Tlatelolco massacre of 1968, and secondly because despite the originality of the content, the criticism was very harsh with the performances and the technical means. It was a box office hit.
The film is not only one of the best Mexican productions of the eighties, but it is also a triumph of the Mexican left against censorship.that the Institutional Revolutionary Party had imposed since 1968 in reference to the massacre. 13. The Alley of Miracles (Jorge Fons, 1994)
In addition to returning a fantastic director like Fons to the top of the genre, this film will be remembered for seeing the birth of a star: Salma Hayek. In this case, the play presents an urban drama based on the homonymous novel by Naguib Mahfuz that moves the action from Cairo to Mexico City.
The film swept the Ariel Awards of the Mexican Film Academy with a swarm of interconnected personal dramas. Fons has inspired a whole generation of great current directors like Arturo Ripstein with that talent to express the dreams that want to fly in the raw social realities. 14. Deep Crimson

default, instances of Datadog::Statsd are thread-safe and we recommend that a single instance be reused by all application threads (even in applications that employ forking). The sole exception is the #close method — this method is not yet thread safe (work in progress here #209).
When using the single_thread: true mode, instances of Datadog::Statsd are still thread-safe, but you may run into contention on heavily-threaded applications, so we don't recommend (for performance reasons) reusing these instances.
Delaying serialization
By default, message serialization happens synchronously whenever stat methods such as #increment gets called, blocking the caller. If the blocking is impacting your program's performance, you may want to consider the delay_serialization: true mode.
The delay_serialization: true mode delays the serialization of metrics to avoid the wait when submitting metrics. Serialization will still have to happen at some point, but it might be postponed until a more convenient time, such as after an HTTP request has completed.
In single_thread: true mode, you'll probably want to set sender_queue_size: from it's default of 1 to some greater value, so that it can benefit from delay_serialization: true. Messages will then be queued unserialized in the sender queue and processed normally whenever sender_queue_size is reached or #flush is called. You might set sender_queue_size: Float::INFINITY to allow for an unbounded queue that will only be processed on explicit #flush.
In single_thread: false mode, delay_serialization: true, will cause serialization to happen inside the sender thread.

4. How Does Ultrasound Behave in Overpressure Conditions?
The speed of sound decreases by less than 1 % between sea level and 3000 m altitude. Atmospheric fluctuations at a specific location are also negligibly low and the effects on the speed of sound are scarcely measurable. If an application involves overpressure of more than 1 bar compared to standard pressure, the speed of sound increases while air damping decreases. This means that ultrasonic sensors have an increased detection range in the case of overpressure compared to standard pressure conditions. From overpressure of around 3 bar above standard pressure, parameter settings in the sensors must be changed so that the increased detection range and lower air damping do not cause interference and measurement errors.
In installation situations with overpressure, it is important to note that most standard ultrasonic sensors are not designed to be installed with just their front in the pressure range when the rest of the sensor is outside the pressure range. Special models are available for these installation situations. However, installing standard models completely in the overpressure area is not a problem. Only the information above regarding possible parameter adjustments at higher pressures must be considered.


text: Nianshan Island has many fish and large, long-standing reputation, and is deeply favored by sea fishermen. It is said that people who can go fishing by sea to fish are very rewarding. However, due to the distance from the port city, it takes three to four hours to go to the boat. If it is specially for fishing, it is rarely visited. Although there are many cliffs on the island, the connection between the fishing spots along the coast is very convenient, because there are cement roads on the mountain and there are war preparations under the mountain. The island has a coastline of nearly 1,000 meters long and can be fished everywhere except cliffs. There are also three sub-islands on the southwest side of the island that can also be used for fishing. In particular, Niubei Island is also a small and famous island. The biggest feature of Nianshan Island is the depth of the water, and there are many cliffs. On the island, not only can the carp be caught, but also Can catch other fish species. On the shores of the island, fish such as squid, squid and black scorpion can often be seen on the sea, and sometimes the rare fish species such as squid and yellow sharp fish can be seen. The most beautiful thing is the spectacular scene of the whales hiding in the sea.

What is a Spindle Tree?
The Spindle Tree in the story is very old, growing in the old cemetery encircling the Wilson Mausoleum. In fact, the Spindle Tree whose Latin name is Euonymous Europeum is native to Europe and is found also in England, Wales and Ireland. It can grow very high as it gets older and is very inconspicuous in the hedgerow. It has small tiny green flowers in May, but it comes into its own in the Autumn when its leaves turn a bright red and its beautiful coral pink berries open up to reveal a bright yellow hard seed within. It is native to Ireland and it grows in mainly chalky or lime-laden soil. Its seeds are poisonous and can cause kidney or liver failure if ingested.
It was known in folk medicine as the louse berry as the seeds were dried, crushed into a powder and used to prevent lice, fleas, and ticks on farm animals as well as dogs and cats. It's long hard sticks were shaped and used as knitting needles, as skewers for meat by butchers and as seen from its more common name, it was used to make spindles for spindle trees. In more recent times it has become popular in gardens, because of its rich Autumn displays of colour. When it was introduced to North America, it has become an invasive species in some areas.

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has affected global mobility in the form of various travel disruptions, restrictions and blockages. To better understand how COVID-19 affects global mobility, IOM is developing a global mobility database by mapping and gathering data from the locations, status and different restrictions of Points of Entry (PoE), globally. This Points of Entry Baseline Assessment provides an overview and analysis on data from various countries, territories and areas (CTAs).
As of 26th March 2020 (17:00 CET), data for the baseline assessment of Points of Entry (PoE) has been collected and processed for 108 countries/areas.
The PoE Baseline database contains information on 1,501 points of entry.
These consist of 313 airports, 89 internal transit points, 882 land border points and 217 sea border points.
Of the 1,501 PoEs assessed, 1,280 (85%) have some form of restriction placed upon them, 679 were being fully closed for entry and exit and 477 partially closed.
Of the assessed PoE's, 91% were reported to be official points of entry.
The most common restriction period ranged between 14 days to onemonth (53% of all assessed PoEs).
Of the 650 PoE's imposing some form of health restriction, 38% are reportedly conducting routine health screenings, and a further 32% have COVID-19 specific screening activities ongoing.

The Victorian Energy Upgrades program (VEU program) is an initiative to slash energy bills by providing energy-efficient products. The program is devoted to the diminishment of greenhouse gas emissions. The program encourages people to install energy-efficient products such as LED bulbs and tubes as they consume less energy.
Modernization of the electric industry is one of the federal government's main initiatives and we should embrace this with open arms.
The upgrade process is done by Accredited Provider (AP) and their representatives in residential and commercial premises to reduce power consumption. APs create Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) for each upgrade. Market activity determines the price of certificates and the amount of incentive or discount a business or household will receive on an energy upgrade.
The VEU program is administrated by the Essential Services Commission (ESC), which is an independent regulator of retail energy.
Victorian Government Energy Efficiency Targets
Why upgrade to LEDs under the VEU program?
- Free and discounted LED products are installed under the program
- The program helps in greenhouse gas emission reduction
- All the upgrades are done by A-Grade electricians across the state
- Get high quality LED products installed for free
- Get away from future power price hikes
How does the Victorian Energy Upgrades program work?
- Installer assess your premises and suggest LED products for the installation
- Installation is done by an A-grade electrician/installer
- Once the upgrade process is complete, the Accredited Provider (AP) generates Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) for the LED upgrade
- Old lighting bulbs/products are collected and safely disposed of
- You start saving
What do we offer under the VEU program?
We are Accredited Provider (AP) under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. The program provides energy upgrades for every eligible household and business in Victoria. We help Victorian households and businesses switch to LEDs and save thousands of dollars per year on their lighting cost. We replace old lights such as globes/incandescent bulbs, CFLs, and halogen downlights with LED lights for free in households. If you are a resident of Victoria and using old lights, you are certainly eligible for the upgrade.

Client: Waterboard Fryslân
Developments in agriculture and climate change will influence the amount and intensity of drainage in the Province of Fryslân in the Netherlands. The impact on (peak) discharges is yet unknown.
FutureWater investigated the impact of changes in drainage on discharges with the FutureView methodology.
The impact is of changes in drainage on discharges is different for the different representative areas; for some peak discharges will be reduced, but especially for clay areas peak discharges increase.
The impact on the discharge in the main canals in the Province of Fryslân is higher peak discharges and a higher frequency of peak discharges.

>>> pDisTrans = pDisplay.DisplayTransformation
>>> pageX, pageY = pDisTrans.FromMapPoint(ptInRealCoords) # coords are ~389700,~316671m
>>> pageX
_PHONE_ # which should be ~4.73 in cm
Any clues whats wrong?

IScreenDisplay's IDisplayTransformation.FromMapPoint transforms active view's coordinates into device coordinates (i.e. pixels). Moreover, you are accessing pMxDoc.ActiveView which will vary depending on whether you are in data view or page view. This means that the source unit space will be either map units or page units.
If you want to transform a coordinates in a certain map into page coordinates on the page layout you need:
 1. Transform the map's coordinates to the device space (i.e. cast the particular map as IActiveView and use its screen display's transformation, FromMapPoint).
 2. Transform the obtained device coordinates into page coordinates (i.e. cast the document's page layout as IActiveView and use its screen display transformation, ToMapPoint). Note that the name ToMapPoint here is slightly misleading as the "map point" here actually means page coordinates.

INSTALLers of GAS hobs in Sea Point
Let's Connect Your Gas Hob
- Cook like a pro with a gas hob
- The future of cooking
- More control, more flavour
- The perfect way to cook
- The heat is ALWAYS on!
Please note: this is a quotation system where we put you in touch with independent GAS INSTALLERS in your area. You'll deal directly with them.
GAS HOB INSTALLATION IN Sea Point
The easy way to cook with passion
Benefits of using a gas hob
Gas hobs offer numerous advantages when compared to electric hobs, for example:
- More precise control over the heat: Gas flames can be easily adjusted, while electric coils can only be turned on or off. This gives you greater control over the cooking process, which can help you to make perfectly cooked meals every single time.
- More intense heat: Gas hobs create more intense heat than electric hobs, which can help to bring out the flavors of food. This can be perfect for searing, sautéing, and grilling.
- Quicker heat-up time: Gas hobs heat up quickly, which can save you time when cooking. This is especially beneficial if you are short on time or if you are cooking for a big group.
- Simpler to clean: Gas stoves are simpler to maintain than electric stoves. This is because there are no coils to clean and the grates can simply be wiped down with a damp rag.
Additional details about the benefits of using a gas hob
- Gas stoves provide greater heat control over the heat than electric cooktops. This is because the flame of gas hobs can be easily adjusted, while electric coils can only be turned off and on. This gives you more control during the cooking process, something that can help you make delightful dishes every time.
For instance, if you are searing a steak, you must could control the heat extremely accurately. If the heat is too high, the steak will overcook. Alternatively, if the heat is too low, the steak will not sear properly. With a gas hob, you can easily regulate the heat to get the perfect sear.
- Flavor: Gas hobs produce more intense heat than electric hobs, enabling to an improved flavor in food. This is because gas flames deliver even heat to food compared to electric coils. When food is heated evenly, the flavors are distributed evenly, leading to a richer tasty dish.
As an example, if you're making a soup, you want the flavors of the ingredients mix together evenly. Using a gas hob, it's easy to warm the soup uniformly, which results in a more delicious soup.
- Convenience: Gas hobs heat up quickly, which can save you precious minutes when cooking. This is particularly helpful if you are in a rush or if you are cooking for a crowd of people.
For example, if you are making breakfast for a large group of people, you can save time by using a gas hob. The gas hob will heat up quickly, so you can start cooking right away.
- When it comes to safety, gas hobs are safer option. This is because gas hobs emit any sparks that can start fires.
For instance, if you are cooking with an hob and inadvertently you drop a substance on it, the chances ignite because of the sparks generated. However, it isn't a risk with a gas hob.

Do Lions Chuff Like Tigers?
In their younger ages, lions can indeed make similar sounds to a meow.
Most older lions will resort to low moans and groans when socially bonding with one another, often trying to drown each other out with their sounds!
It's their equivalent of a purr, or in the case of some other big cats, the equivalent of a "chuff."
What does a lion Chuffing mean?
Prusten is also referred to as chuffing or chuffle (verb and noun). It is described as a short, low intensity, non-threatening vocalization. The vocalization is produced by tigers, jaguars, snow leopards and clouded leopards. Prusten has significance in both the fields of evolution and conservation.
What does it mean when a tiger Chuffs at you?
She also found that to greet one another (or their human keepers), tigers make a special noise called a prusten, or chuff, by keeping their mouths closed while pushing air through their nostrils. "The forests aren't the way people often picture jungles with tigers.

Are there tigers in Bali?
Tiger (Panthera tigris)
In the past, Indonesia had three subspecies of tigers: Bali, Java, and Sumatran tigers. The Bali tiger was extinct in the 1930s and Java tiger in 1970s. The last of Indonesia's tigers are holding on for survival against deforestation, poaching, and human-tiger conflicts.
Do lions roar to scare prey?
When lions get old and lose teeth, they are no longer able to hunt and attack, so they become the guards of the pride. Their entire purpose is to roar and scare any approaching prey towards the younger lions, so they can attack. All he can do is roar to scare us.


How many RPMs does a CD spin at?
It depends. The old phonograph records spun at a constant speed (for example, 33 or 45 revolutions per minute).
That made it easy to make a turntable to handle them, but it meant that the music recorded near the outside of the record had better sound than the music recorded on the inner grooves.
A CD solves this by varying its speed as it plays, so that the speed of the bumps below the laser beam always stays constant.
That means that as the CD begins playing, the music on the inside groove (yes, the album starts on the inside and works its way toward the outside) sounds as good as the music near the outside.
On the inside grooves, a CD spins at a rate of 200 revolutions per minute and gets as fast as 500 rpm as the laser beam approaches the outside edge.
About Karen Hill
4 thoughts on "How many RPMs does a CD spin at?"
 1. No, Outside edge has farther to go, so must spin faster to cover that distance. Think of an 800m running Track, outside lane gets a head start.
 2. How could the outside spin faster than the inside..
 RPM = Revolutions per minutes..
 Yes the outside might travel faster but it does "EXACTLY" the same number of revolutions per minute otherwise it wouldnt be a solid disc.
 3. The device has variable speed. As the laser nears the outer portion of the cd the device increases rpm. The cd does not spin at two speeds simultaneously.

We present a method for performing face recognition based on the fractal neighbor distance (FND). The FND has previously been used for face recognition. What distinguishes our method from others is that we incorporate the use of localized weights with the FND. In a local-to-global feature matching approach, a set of localized weights is used with an algorithm based on the FND that searches for local features. A global score is then derived from each localized score. This set of weights is designed to concentrate around the eyes and nose region of the face, because they contain more discriminating features.

I want to sync items of two tables
faces_encoding and faces_person to a channels clone.
Do you think the following is a good approach?
Example for face encodings:
- Create an item (in table item).
- Use column item.app=faces and item.title=encoding to find (all of them) later on.
- Store a face encoding (content of a row in faces_encoding) in column item.obj
- Store the hash of the item in the encoding (faces_encoding.file_hash)
- Use item.sync_an_item($channel_id,$item_id)
- Before the channels clone starts a face recognition (it is always only triggered manually by the user via browser)
- Select all items using item.app=faces AND item.title=encoding
- Read the encodings from the items and write the encodings if new or changed
Depending on how it goes I would change it, e.g.
- Sync an image with all encodings instead each encoding separately.
- Of course I have store the file (image) hash in each encoding.
Do you can imagine a completely different way of syncing the data?
Is attach more appropriate or iconfig or...?
Once it works for ZAP I would port it to Hubzilla.
Many thanks in advance.

How to hang pictures, even big ones, on plaster walls
Q: We would like to hang pictures, some of them rather large, on a plaster wall. Can you tell us the best way to do this? We are afraid of cracking the plaster.
A: With proper technique, hanging pictures on a lath-and-plaster wall isn't a problem.
If the pictures are small and equipped with a wire on the back, use a small picture hook and nail.
To install small picture hooks all you need is a hammer. Gently tap the nail provided with the hook diagonally into the wall using the hook itself as a guide. With small hooks there is little danger of cracking the plaster.
Larger hooks may require pre-drilling a hole. A cordless drill equipped with a drill bit slightly smaller than the nail is the tool for the job. Drilling a pilot hole removes some of the plaster and greatly reduces the possibility of cracking the plaster.
Make sure to drill the hole on an angle that approximates the angle of the path of the nail.
For smalland medium-sized pictures you don't have to be concerned about hitting a stud. The plaster has enough structural integrity to hold their weight.
Be cautious about trying to drive a nail into a piece of wood lath. If a nail strikes a piece of lath under the plaster there is a good chance it will vibrate, break the plaster keys and loosen the plaster from the lath. A "key" is the term used to describe wet plaster that oozed between the lath when applied and dried partially encasing the lath. These "keys" form a bond between the dried plaster wall and the lath.
You'll be able to tell if the nail strikes a piece of lath -- it will bounce back when you tap it with your hammer. If that happens, drill a pilot hole no matter which size nail you use.
For hanging large, heavy pictures we recommend using a wood screw as hanger if the screw can be installed in a stud or a wall anchor if it does not hit a stud.
Wall anchors come in a variety of sizes. They are a two-part fastener, a machine bolt that fits into a collapsible cylinder. Whether installing a wood screw or wall anchor, pre-drill a hole in the wall to inhibit cracking.
For a wall anchor insert the cylinder into the pre-drilled hole, tighten the bolt so that the cylinder compresses and back the bolt part way out of the cylinder and hang the picture. Use two fasteners for very large or heave pictures.
The bottom line is if you have any doubt, pre-drill the holes to avoid cracked plaster.
A couple of weeks ago we wrote about using plaster of Paris when installing a commode. Apparently our answer created a little confusion with at least one of our readers. She writes:
"I just read your column about using plaster of Paris to mount the toilet. I assume that the plaster of Paris is in place of the wax collar.
"Also, you said not to caulk behind the toilet -- leave a 4-inch gap. Is that for condensation to have a way to dry? Wanting it to be very neat, I caulked all around. What bad will happen?"
Neatness is generally good, but you can have too much of a good thing.
Plaster of Paris is not used in place of the wax ring. Rather it is an alternative to caulking under the perimeter of the toilet. Plaster and, to some degree, caulk are used to stabilize the toilet and prevent it from moving when somebody sits on it.
The wax ring seals the connection between the toilet and the closet bend when the toilet is bolted to the closet flange. Plaster of Paris is particularly helpful on old installations with uneven floors because it is not flexible.
Nothing bad will necessarily happen if you caulk completely around the perimeter of the toilet. However, if the seal between the wax ring and closet flange should fail, the gap at the rear of the toilet allows for water to escape so you can discover the leak. No leak, no problem. But if the perimeter is sealed by caulk the water has no place to go and could prevent you from seeing water that might cause significant damage.

10. Archeological Excavations at the Platte River
Campground Site (20BZ16), Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore,
Richner, Jeffrey J.
The Platte River Campground archeological site (20BZ16) is located along
the Platte River, within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan.
The site was discovered in 1985 and was also tested in that year. In 1987,
the Midwest Archeological Center conducted archeological excavations at the
site in advance of a planned campground redevelopment program which will
impact portions of the site. Important information on site age and
artifact assemblages was obtained. The site is multicomponent, with
evidence of repeated prehistoric occupations over both the Middle and Late
Woodland Periods in addition to late historic Euro-American uses. Emphasis
in this report is placed upon the prehistoric components.

It's Feel Good Friday and I'm in sunny San Diego, home of a relatively new nonprofit organization, Plant It Again.
Founded in 2020 by San Diego teen, Olivia Kries, the team at Plant It Again (PIA) recycles drought tolerant plants back into local communities and creates meaningful employment for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Their vision is "to create an innovative center that not only educates but integrates all members of our diverse community."
Olivia got the idea for PIA when she saw her mom discarding succulent trimmings. She felt this was wasteful and knew she could take a clipping and plant it again, hence the name of the organization. The PIA team hopes that by recycling and selling donated yard cuttings and plants, they will inspire and educate the public on the many benefits of succulent gardening and landscaping. Watch this 3-minute video to learn more about the origin story and see Olivia and the team.
PIA provides job opportunities and training to adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Since opening three years ago, they've created six paid positions in roles such as plant donation processors, arrangement designers, sales clerks, and class instructors. PIA has also hosted over 1,000 hours community engagement for people with moderate to severe developmental and intellectual disabilities.
If you want to help this new nonprofit grow, there are many ways to do so. People living in the San Diego area can visit the store to buy some plants or donate old gardening tools, pots, and other items to be refurbished and sold to raise funds. The rest of us can make a donation and stay in the loop on social media. Follow Plant It Again on Facebook, and on Twitter and Instagram @plantitagai

What is the difference between an "involuted" and an "idempotent" matrix?
I believe that they both have to do with inverse, perhaps "self inverse" matrices.
Or do they happen to refer to the same thing?
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
up vote 11 down vote accepted
A matrix $A$ is an involution if it is its own inverse, ie if
$$A^2 = I$$
A matrix $B$ is idempotent if it squares to itself, ie if
$$B^2 = B$$
The only invertible idempotent matrix is the identity matrix, which can be seen by multiplying both sides of the above equation by $B^{-1}$. An idempotent matrix is also known as a projection.
Involutions and idempotents are related to one another. If $A$ is idempotent then $I - 2A$ is an involution, and if $B$ is an involution, then $\tfrac{1}{2}(I\pm B)$ is idempotent.
Finally, if $B$ is idempotent then $I-B$ is also idempotent and if $A$ is an involution then $-A$ is also an involution.

mIRage IR Microscope: New Partnership with Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp
We're proud to announce a new partnership with Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp as their official distributor in the UK, Ireland and Nordic region. Their mIRage IR microscope uses a proprietary O-PTIR technique to break the IR diffraction limit and overcome the greatest problems of IR spectroscopy.
Blue Scientific is the official distributor for Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp in the UK, Ireland and Nordic region (Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark). For more information or quotes, please get in touch.
mIRage IR Microscope
mIRage changes the field of IR spectroscopy by overcoming its two greatest problems: poor resolution and demanding sample preparation.
With the mIRage IR microscope you can:
- Achieve sub-micron spatial resolution
- Measure thick samples in reflection mode
- Without the contact limitations of ATR
- No dispersive artifacts
Perform IR imaging and spectroscopy with a spatial resolution improvement of over 20x. mIRage uses photothermal IR spectroscopy (PTIR) to acquire transmission quality FTIR spectra, even in reflection mode.
Measure Thick Samples
PTIR also overcomes another key limitation of IR microscopy: the inability to analyse thick samples. Without the contact limitations of ATR, this opens up a whole range of new applications.
This also means that sample preparation is less demanding, so results can be acquired faster, with lower costs.
Breaking the IR Diffraction Limit
mIRage overcomes the IR diffraction limit by combining a pulsed, tunable laser with a proprietary optical technique that measures the sample's photothermal response. The system is fast and easy to use. Results can be correlated to industry standard FTIR databases.
If you'd like more information about the O-PTIR technique or mIRage, please get in touch:

"Mul-lae-bok-shi-da" is a traditional Korean phrase that is said before eating. It means "I am grateful for the food that you have provided."
There are a few ways to say "food" in Korean. The word for food is "공기" (gong-gi), and the word for eat is "먹다" (meok-da). You can also say "meal" with the word "음식" (eum-sik).


Class MetricsType (2.32.0)
MetricsType(value)
A type that determines how metrics should be interpreted.
Enums
Name Description
METRICS_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED The metrics type is unspecified. By default, metrics without a particular specification are for leaf entity types (i.e., top-level entity types without child types, or child types which are not parent types themselves).
AGGREGATE Indicates whether metrics for this particular label type represent an aggregate of metrics for other types instead of being based on actual TP/FP/FN values for the label type. Metrics for parent (i.e., non-leaf) entity types are an aggregate of metrics for their children.

We describe a new method of infrared microspectroscopy. It is intended for performing chemical mapping of various objects with subwavelength lateral resolution by using the infrared vibrational signature characterizing different molecular species. We use the photothermal expansion effect, detected by an atomic force microscope tip, probing the local transient deformation induced by an infrared pulsed laser tuned at a sample absorbing wavelength. We show that this new tool opens the way for measuring and identifying spectroscopic contrasts not accessible by far-field or near-field optical methods and with a subwavelength lateral resolution.

nisd.domain.name
This configuration parameter specifies the NIS domain name for the adnisd process to use when communicating with NIS clients.
For example, to specify that you want to use euro-all as the NIS domain name in the zone named Europe-00-Zone, you can set this parameter as follows:
nisd.domain.name: euro-all
If this parameter is not defined in the configuration file, the zone name is used by default.

Code Blue, Code Blue!
The phrase, "Brr! It's cold out there" doesn't even begin to describe how ice, cold the wind feels this Monday morning, especially when it hits your bare skin. Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties are under a Code Blue Cold Emergency until Monday at noon; this is based off a review of weather forecasts from the National Weather Service.
If the temperature and wind chill is 20 degrees or below, a Code Blue is called. When a Code Blue is called it means the weather conditions are severe enough to cause serious harm or even death for those individuals without a warm place to go and get inside.
Sunshine will break through Monday afternoon, but the temperature will hang in the 30s; the low of the day is 19 degrees and the high is 35, according to Meteorologist Dave Warren.
Here's a look at Meteorologist, Dave Warren's Forecast:
Tuesday and Wednesday:
A storm developing across the southeast will bring in warmer air and some rain. Temperature will continue to warm up Tuesday night and Wednesday with rain developing Tuesday evening and becoming heavy at times on Wednesday. Tuesday's High: 50, Wednesday's high: 60.
The rain will end as cold air moves back into the area. There is a storm which could slow how quickly it dries out so a period of snow is possible. As the snow and rain end it will become windy and cold again.

In this post, we look at the functions of the kinship system in Nigeria culture. Kinship is a social relationship that defines who we are and where we are from. Kinship, being a cultural artifact can actually shape the way people do things, the way peoeple think, the way people believe things. In fact, I believe, since it is something created by man in reference to one's culture and history, is more or less, cultural heritage of a people.
Functions Of Kinship System In Nigeria Culture:
So many functions have been seen carried out within the kinship system in Nigeria. Since kinship is owned by almost every society, some of its functions, as I will be discussing in this article will seems familiar, while others will not, nonetheless, we are going to look at quite a number of the functions of kinship system in Nigeria in this article, and here are there;
* Kinship Defines Acceptable Role Of Engagement:
In every society, there is acceptable role of engagement, and such role of engagement is made possible by kinship. Besides this however, there is also role of relationship between and among members of a family. You look at the parents – children relationship, relationship between father and son, relationship between father and daughter, relationship between mother and daughter, relationship between mother and son, and so on and so forth. So it is kinship that bring about proper way of relating with one another within a family. Apart from defining proper role relationship within a family, kinship also guides or provides guidelines for persons to interact among themselves and/or between themselves.
* Kinship Determines Relationship Lines:
Relationship line in every family, I think is necessary, and this is the function of kinship system in Nigeria, where family line relationship is determined accordingly. In a family, a relationship could be a distance one or a close relationship, depending on the family in question. Therefore, the kinship system in Nigeria can work in a way that can determined what relationship family relationship lines are.
* Kinship Decides Who To And Who Not To Marry:
This is another function of kinship system in Nigeria, it draws a path and guide you on how to go through the path. For instance, it is the kinship that will determine who you should marry and who you should not marry, where to marry and where you should not marry. Once there is order that you cannot marry there, and that, relationship there, maritally is taboo, you have no choice. So it is the kinship system that decides.
* Kinship Influences Religious Practices:
Kinship in a sense, do influenced people's religious practices. What is expected from every member of a religious sect for example, is defined by kinship system, including the determination of the rights of the people, and obligations of these people, who belonged to, or indulged in religious practices and that of sacraments, which actually begins from the point, where someone is born and through a point where this person is deat
* Kinship Maintains Relationships:
Another function of the kinship system in Nigeria is to ensure that there is maintenance of solidarity of relationships. Such solidarity of relationship is mostly enjoyed among members of the family, the father, the mother, children and any other member of the family
* Determines Obligations And The Rights Of Family:
Kinship system in Nigeria also determined the obligations, the rights of the family. This is can be seen in tribal and rural societies. Kinship relation also determined the obligations and the rights of political power, the rights of marriage, as well as determined the obligations and the rights of system production, and this happened within a family.
* Kinship Regulates Beheviour Of Kin:
Kinship system in Nigeria functions in a number of ways, particularly, in tribal societies, when used in different ways. One of the functions of the kin system, when used in different ways is that, it will regulatates behaviours of different kin. So through the many usages of the kinship, there is that possibility of regulating the behaviour of every kin.
* Kinship Helps In Designating Kin Of Various Types:
Kinship is known for helping in the process of classification of different types of kin_and this happened as the result of some terms within the kinship system, and through such terms, the designation and the description of different types of kin is made possible.
* Kinship Creates Groupings Of Kin:
Another function of the kinship system in Nigeria is that, by the virtue of different ways of using kinship, groupings of kin can be created. Therefore, the creation of special groupings of kin happened through the usage of kinship.
* Kinship Governs Role Relationship:
In kinship, there are some rules, and these kinship rules have a way of affecting or mpacting on the role of relationships within the family. Among various kins, there would be this rule of kinship that will governs the relationship role, as related to the family.
* Kinship Regulates Social Life:
There are so many functions of the kinship system in Nigeria, and one of such functions is that of acting as the social life regulator. Social life is regulated in almost every society, and what made it possible for social life regulations is kinship system.
* Kinship Influences Production System:
System of production can be influenced through kinship system. Apart from influencing production system, kinship system goes as far as influencing other aspects of kinship within the family, such aspects of kinship include, land ownership within the family, as well as the concept of wealth and their various usages.
Kinship has several importance in a social structure. Kinship decides who you can marry and who you cannot marry, possibly, where marital relationships are taboo. It also determines rights and obligations of every member in every religious practices within the society from when someone is born and up to the point he is dead. The important of kinship system in Nigeria cannot be underestimated, and the important of kinship system can be seen within the family functions and at the event of marriage. It is also good to note the kinship system haa a way of determining family line.

'Orion' is a Camassia variety in the Quamash genus with a scientific name of Camassia quamash. This variety is a Herb that typically grows as an Perennial, which is defined as a plant that matures and completes its lifecycle over the course of three years or more. Orion is known for its Forb habit and growing to a height of approximately 60.0 cm (1.95 feet).
Orion Camassia is normally quite a low maintenance plant and is normally very easy to grow - great for beginner gardeners!
This variety plant info is provided by the myfolia gardener's wiki. All details about Orion have been kindly provided by our members.
How to grow Orion
Keep in mind when planting that Orion is thought of as hardy, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). The USDA Hardiness Zones typically associated with Orion are Zone 4 and Zone 8. Ideally plant in loamy, clay and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.1 and 7.8 as Orion likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.
Growing Orion from seed
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Orion is a hardy plant.

Crabs Live All Over The World
What Eats A Crab? Photo:Gordon E. Robertson
What eats crabs?
What do crabs eat?
Crabs live all over the world. Some kinds, or species, live in salt water, others live in fresh water. Some even spend all their time on dry land.
Most crabs have many natural enemies, or predators. Birds attack smaller crabs, sometimes carrying them high into the air and then dropping them on boulders to crack their shells.
Fish with powerful, shell-crunching jaws also eat crabs.
Many kinds of mammals, from seals to raccoons, also look forward to a crab dinner.
What does a crab eat? Crabs eat small bits of plant and animal material that they find in the water and along the shoreline.

Developer Guide (API Version 2012-08-10)
Example: Batch Operations Using AWS SDK for .NET Document Model API
Example: Batch Write Using AWS SDK for .NET Document Model
The following C# code example illustrates single table and multi-table batch write operations. The example performs the following tasks:
 - To illustrate a single table batch write, it adds two items to the ProductCatalog table.
 - To illustrate a multi-table batch write, it adds an item to both the Forum and Thread tables and deletes and item from the Thread table.
If you followed the steps in Creating Tables and Loading Sample Data, you already have the ProductCatalog, Forum and Thread tables created. You can also create these sample tables programmatically. For more information, see Creating Example Tables and Uploading Data Using the AWS SDK for .NET. For step-by-step instructions to test the following sample, see .NET Code Samples.

Diploma display ideas
Graduation day is one of the proudest moments in students' academic careers. Diplomas are symbolic of hours spent honing skills and working on assignments and, ultimately, success in the classroom. High school diplomas represent an opportunity to go on to higher learning or a trade, while college degrees indicate young people are ready to begin their professional lives.
Many graduates are excited about the prospect of receiving their diplomas. Once in hand, the document can be put on display. The following are some unique ways to showcase diplomas at home or at work.
One of the classic ways to display a diploma is in a frame. Many businesses offer customized framing where the frame material and the matting can be chosen. Some grads may want to include a photograph of the school or a picture of the graduate above the diploma. Graduates also may want to select a frame and mat that coordinates with school colors.
Create a shadow box
Consider displaying the diploma with other mementos from school. A shadow box is a large, deep display frame that can house items that are thicker than photographs or papers. Items such as a graduation tassel, medal or other award, a varsity jacket patch, or a program from a school performance or awards ceremony can be placed in the shadow box.
Create a photo wall
Display the diploma among other framed photos from school activities. This can elicit a trip down memory lane every time the wall is viewed. Some families may want to display their diplomas together, especially if multiple family members attended the same school.
Make a work of art
Various online art vendors can turn the diploma into different works of art. For example, engravers can laser engrave the diploma onto a wooden plaque. Then the diploma can be displayed in one location and the wood plaque in another.
Place it under glass
Display the diploma beneath the glass top of a coffee table. When entertaining guests, the diploma can make for a unique conversation piece.
A school diploma is worthy of recognition. There are various creative ways to display these documents that reflect the hard work and success of their recipients.

Line intersections edit page
In this section we discus how to analyze grain boundary by intersecting them with certain lines. Lets start by importing some EBSD data and computing grain boundaries.
% load some example data
mtexdata twins silent
% detect grains
[grains,ebsd.grainId,ebsd.mis2mean] = calcGrains(ebsd('indexed'));
% smooth them
grains = grains.smooth;
% visualize the grains
plot(grains,grains.meanOrientation)
% extract all grain boundaries
gB = grains.boundary;
hold on
plot(gB,'LineWidth',2)
hold off
Let start by defining some line by its endpoints and plot in on top of the boundary plot
xy1 = [10,10]; % staring point
xy2 = [41,41]; % end point
line([xy1(1);xy2(1)],[xy1(2);xy2(2)],'linestyle',':','linewidth',4,'color','white')
The command intersect computes the intersections of all boundary segments with the given line
[x,y] = grains.boundary.intersect(xy1,xy2);
hold on
scatter(x,y,'blue','linewidth',2)
hold off
% find the number of intersection points
sum(~isnan(x))
ans =

The following picture show a path geometry in Direct2D, it contains 5 segments, each segment is a straight line, my request is that, given such a hill, i want to get all the 5 lines.
enter image description here
but it seems there is no related API can get the segments of a path geometry in Direct2D, I see the ID2D1PathGeometry interface provide a method GetSegmentCount, if we can not get the segments, why Microsoft provide this method?

You can do this with ID2D1PathGeometry::Stream(). You will have to write a class that implements ID2D1GeometrySink. You may find it useful to implement this in a generalized sense such that instead of looking for the exact data that you need now, it can pump out an object tree. If you need an example for what type of object model to use, look no further than WPF's System.Windows.Media.Geometry ( _URL_ ).
You can also easily convert from those classes back to ID2D1PathGeometry, and use whichever is most comfortable or appropriate for any situation. I've written both conversions and found it to be pretty straightforward once I realized they were using the same "language." I especially found that it helped to organize my understanding as to the difference between "figures" and "segments."
share|improve this answer

Thanks for your reply, but, this does not suit for my request, if I implement ID2D1GeometrySink, I need to build up the path geometry myself in order to get the segments, but, my path geometry was not build by myself, I got it from another function. – zdd Oct 12 '12 at 9:10

If that's not what you're looking for then I'm not even sure I understand what you're asking for ... you asked for something to give you the segments of a path geometry, and that's exactly what that does! You can also use ID2D1Geometry::Simplify to stream any geometry into an ID2D1SimplifiedGeometrySink. – Rick Brewster Oct 20 '12 at 21:26

Thanks Rick, I want to state my request once more, I want to get the segments of a path geometry,that's the lines, arcs and curves which compose the path geometry, my example above only contains lines, I am sorry if that's confused you. I have no chance to implement the interface you mentioned, since I get the path geometry from this function GetGlyphRunOutline. The ID2D1Geometry::Simplify method only get the Geometry Sink, not the segments. am I clear now? – zdd Oct 21 '12 at 0:43

Yes, you were already clear, and that's exactly what I answered. – Rick Brewster Oct 30 '12 at 18:33

To further clarify this, look at methods like ID2D1SimplifiedGeometrySink::AddBeziers(). Each 'add' method is basically just a command saying "hey here's a new segment for the current figure." And that's where you get the segments. In your case you're specifically interested in when AddLines() gets called. It sounds like you have a path geometry which contains 1 figure, which then contains 1 segment, and that segment is a "poly line segment" which just has the points for the polygon. Honestly it makes a lot more sense if you look at the WPF object model for this :) – Rick Brewster Oct 31 '12 at 0:18
If you have a PathGeometry, then using PathGeometry::Stream() is good.
However, if you have a basic Geometry and you want to accomplish the same, then you can do the following:
 1. Implement your own GeometrySink to "catch" the geometry components
 2. Create an empty PathGeometry
 3. Use Geometry::Combine to combine (union) your geometry with the empty geometry.
The results will be deposited in your GeometrySink.
share|improve this answer

The ID2D1Geometry::Simplify() method is probably preferable to doing a union with empty geometry. – Rick Brewster Dec 17 '12 at 19:20

ID2D1Geometry::Simplfy() gives an undesirable effect of putting holes when shapes overlap. Combine (union) does not. – Matt Houser Dec 18 '12 at 18:17

Interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind if I see anything like that! – Rick Brewster Dec 18 '12 at 18:37
implement a class named SpecializedSink that inherits from the ID2D1SimplifiedGeometrySink interface, the extended AddLines method called by ID2D1Geometry::Simplify to retrieves the geometry data.
suggest you read the [example for retrieve data from geometry] _URL_ by extending ID2D1SimplifiedGeometrySink.
share|improve this answer

I have no chance to call AddLines, I get the path geometry from another API, I didn't build up it myself. – zdd Dec 16 '12 at 3:38

Tracfone LG 840g How to Enable QWERTY Keypad
By default, the LG 840g comes with the old school alpha numeric keypad enabled instead of the QWERTY keypad which we are all used to. Follow these instructions for enabling the LG 840g QWERTY keyboard.
1. Open either the Browser or the Text Messaging screen.
2. From the Text Messaging screen, tap the Create New Message, then tap the text entry part of the screen to enable the text editor. If on the browser, tap the address bar as if to enter a new URL to enable the text editor.
3. From either of the two screens, tap the upper right hand icon (square with 3 lines).
4. Tap Input Method and select Keyboard.
That's it, you have enabled the QWERTY keyboard for the browser address bar and text messaging. Be aware that you will still get the alpha numeric keypad on certain screens. Those cannot be changed.


Eclipse and Maven Integration (without m2e)
This page describes how to integrate an EAR project in Eclipse or Eclipse-based IDE without m2e support. Normally however, using m2e (and m2e-wtp) should be the preferred way to integrate Maven and Eclipse. But in some rare cases that might not be possible.
If you have used mvn eclipse:eclipse to generate the metadata for an EAR project, it will want the application.xml file in the src/main/application/META-INF directory.
If you edit application.xml using the WTP based Application Deployment Descriptor editor, it will use the name of the projects (Web, EJB etc) as the name of the modules. Here is an example:
Obviously this does not have the typical Maven based version naming convention applied to it. This allows us to run the application internally within Eclipse using the test environments. When Maven is used to create the ear using mvn package, it will create the versionized application.xml file, if told to. However, by default it will not pick up the generated (versionized) one, it will use the existing one in the src/main/application/META-INF directory.
The solution to resolve this conflict is to have Maven generate the application.xml and use the generated one as opposed to the existing one.
This can be achieved via these two directives:
The first line tells Maven to generate a new application.xml file, by default in the target directory. The second line tells Maven to use it.
