Size Scales is used to add the different size scales available when creating products . Once created they will appear in styles file in which you can select which size scale you need for a Product.The size scales need to exist before creating a product.
Name: Name of the size scale e.g. 6-16.
Default: Whether you would like a certain size scale as a default in styles file.
Sizes Name: This is where you add in the sizes.
How to use:
Press the green add button and insert the name of your size scale and select whether you want the size to be default yes or no.
For the size name, this is where you add in the sizes individually.
For example you would type your smallest size e.g 6, then press the green add next to the size name tab. This will save the first size.
Then enter the next size e.g 8, then press the green add.This will save the second size.
This is now building the size scale. Repeat until all available sizes are added.
If you make a mistake whist creating the size scale (before saving):
To Edit, select size change in size name and press edit pencil.
To Delete a size, select size and press delete.
If you make a mistake whist creating the size scale (after saving):
Select Size Scale, Press Edit Pencil.
To Edit Size Name, select size change in size name and press edit pencil.
Delete is not possible after saving.
Always do your size scales from smallest size to largest
Before saving check your size scale is correct and all sizes exist before saving.
Examples of Size Scales:
You can have as many size scales as you wish. Each size scale can have a maximum of 99 sizes.
|Size Scale Name||Sizes Available|
|Ladies 8 -16||6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16|

SFA vs IFS - Bennie Hurter (aka Benhur)
The issue of having a Solid Front Axle (SFA) or Independent Front Suspension (IFS) in your vehicle is always a hot topic to discuss. People have different views on which one of the two suspension types are the right one.
From a technical point of view consider this. With SFA the centre of the diff is fixed between the front wheels and it moves in relation to the body of the vehicle. So the distance between the centre of the diff and the ground will stay the same (if the surface is linear) as the suspension travels in and out.
IFS working are the complete inverse. The centre of the diff is fixed in relation to the body and it varies in relation to the ground up to a point where it can come close to the ground. If the surface is now slightly uneven the chance of it touching the ground is much higher than with a SFA where the surface must be much more uneven before touching occurs.
The primitive illustration below will demonstrate what I tried stating above a bit more clearly

One of Toronto's little historical secrets is the mystery of why Bay St does such a large jog at Queen St. History buffs may know the answer, but I only recently came upon it myself, and it answered many questions I'd long had about the strange disconnect in (of all places) Yorkville between Yonge St and the centre of what we now think of as Yorkville, the area west of Bay St.
The jog on Bay St creates one of Toronto's most spectacular urban design moments, but it was far from deliberately planned that way – the placement of the tower of Old City Hall simply took advantage of a precondition in which Bay St ended at Queen St. What is today Bay St north of Queen St was originally a separate street running between Queen St and College St called Terauley St. Terauley St and the grid north of Queen St were originally laid out as part of a separate estate that did not line up with the grid south of Queen (even University Ave did not originally extend south of Queen St, whereas Yonge St was the exception as it was the original concession road).
North of College St there was a one block break, and then a series of streets with slightly different alignments (called St Vincent St, Chapel St and North St) continued the rough line of Terauley St north to Bloor St. North of Bloor St, no streets crossed through Yorkville along the Terauley St alignment. In the early 1920′s, the City decided to cut the Terauley alignment all the way through from Queen St to Davenport Rd and rename it as an extension of Bay St. The late date of Bay St's creation north of Queen partly explains the lack of significant historical buildings along the street.
The effect in Yorkville has been more profound, as Bay St essentially split the old village in two. Originally, the centre of Yorkville was clearly along Yonge St (very few commercial buildings even existed at the time along Bloor St). Both the library and the fire hall were located close to Yonge St on Yorkville Ave. Since the 1920′s and the cutting through of Bay St, the fortunes of Yorkville west and east of Bay seem to have gone in different directions. While Yonge St has lost most of its connection to Yorkville and sense of it's former individuality, Yorkville west of Bay was destined to become a centre for artists and alternative culture and finally a very unique boutique shopping district, maintaining a significant amount of its character and village feeling.

text: An approximation is proposed to evaluate the steady-state performance of kanban controlled two-stage assembly systems. The development of the approximation is as follows. The considered continuous-time Markov chain is aggregated keeping the model exact, and this aggregate model is approximated replacing some state-dependent transition rates with constant rates. The approximate aggregate model is, then, decomposed into submodels and a product-form steady-state distribution is obtained for each submodel. Finally, the submodels are combined in such a way that the size of the problem becomes independent of the number of kanbans. This leads to the computational advantage in solving the combined model using numerical matrix-geometric solution algorithms. Numerical comparisons of the combined model with simulation, exact model, approximate aggregate model and an approximation in the literature show that the proposed approximation performs well in terms of accuracy and computational burden.

Most of the highest leverage workflows in Nucleus are based on visualizing and querying on ground truth annotations, and evaluating your model predictions against them.
Nucleus supports a variety of task types, namely:
If you already have a labeling project, you can upload tasks to Nucleus directly and have their labels synced automatically! See Ingest From Labeling.
Nucleus uses a generalized, unopinionated payload schema for annotations. The recommended way to construct these payloads is using our Python SDK.
When working in the Python SDK, each
Annotation object houses:
- Intrinsic information about the annotation itself (e.g. label, geometry).
- The reference ID of the item with which to associate the annotation.
- An optional unique annotation ID (if not provided, will be generated automatically).
- Optional metadata (stored as arbitrary key-value pairs).

Everything You Need to Know about Terrace Waterproofing Paint
Terrace Waterproofing Paint is an important aspect of ensuring that your terrace stays dry and protected from water damage. This type of paint is specifically designed to resist the penetration of water and prevent it from seeping into the walls or the surface of the terrace.
One of the main benefits of using terrace waterproofing paint is that it protects against the harmful effects of moisture. Over time, moisture can cause severe damage to the structure of your home, leading to expensive repairs. Therefore, waterproofing your terrace is crucial for the longevity of your house.
When it comes to choosing the right terrace waterproofing paint, you need to consider factors such as the quality of the paint, durability, and weather resistance. Some of the popular brands of terrace waterproofing paints include Asian Paints, AWC Waterproofing, Berger Paints, and Dulux.
Before applying terrace waterproofing paint, the surface must be cleaned and prepped to ensure proper adhesion. Any cracks or holes in the surface should be repaired, and the surface must be dry before applying the paint.
It is important to note that waterproofing paint should not be applied on surfaces that are already damp or wet, as this will prevent proper adhesion and may cause the paint to peel off. Therefore, it is best to wait for a dry day to apply the paint.
In summary, terrace waterproofing paint is essential for ensuring that your terrace remains protected from water damage and moisture. By choosing the right brand and following the correct application process, you can ensure a long-lasting and resilient finish that will keep your home safe and secure.

Over Bend
Published: | Updated: December 13, 2017
Definition - What does Over Bend mean?
An over bend can be defined as a bend in a pipe either in the high point or at the middle of a joint.
Trenchless construction methods such as horizontal directional drilling (HDD) requires the pipe to be pulled back in through the pilot bore during the reaming operation. Sometimes, the pipe is pulled through the hole at an angle causing an overbend at the highest point. If this over bend exceeds permissible limits it can cause damage or failure of the pipe.
Trenchlesspedia explains Over Bend
Pipelines installed by HDD and other trenchless methods require the connection of the pipeline sections to the drill rods. While lifting the front end of the pipe, an over bend is created at the angle of entry of the pipeline. This over bend can be caused as a result of design or an error by the operator, who may assume that since the pipe did not break there was no over bend.
However, over bend may manifest as a small crack that may be invisible and may function for several bores until fatigue breaks the pipe without warning. The pipe should not be allowed to bend beyond the allowable bend radius, as most of the cracks form during the last 1% of the load cycle, making it difficult to detect damage due to fatigue before failure occurs.

Use Functions in CMD Script

Functions in CMD Scripts
The below code will allow you to use functions in your RouterOS CMD scripts. I was finding myself using the same code snippet multiple times, in multiple scripts. This was not only inconsistent, but also time consuming, as I had to adapt the code each time it was inserted into a new script. If I wrote a routine that needed to be changed, I would have to change it (and remember where) in every script that used it.
By using functions, you're able write one piece of code and "call" that code from any other script. If you need to make a change to a it, you only need to do it once, at the function's source. Functions also provide consistency, as you're not copying and pasting each time you need to use the same piece of code.
Here is the main function library. You could also separate function libraries, say Functions-Text, Functions-Firewall, etc...
# Script name: Functions
# Functions script library
# Remember: ' $ ' (dollar sign), ' " ' (double-quote), and ' \ ' (backslash) must be escaped with preceding backslash '\' to when used in functions
# Function input array is passed from calling script using:
# string: ":local input \"<input1,input2,...>\"; "
# command output: ":local input [/path/to/command get <item property>];"
# Function output array is stored in function's local $output variable
# Functions should always end with ; (semi-colon) - this makes it easier when calling from another script
#
# Ex. To call MyFunc with input "1,2,3,4", storing function's output in global var MyOutput
# From calling script:
# Code
# /system script run "Functions"
# :global MyFunc
#
# :global MyOutput ""
# :local runFunc [:parse (":global MyOutput;" . \
# ":local input \"1,2,3,4\";" . \
# $MyFunc . \
# ":set MyOutput \$output")
# ]
# $runFunc
# End Code
#
# The global variable $MyOutput now contains an array of output values from function
# To display output:
# :put [:pick $MyOutput 0]
# :put [:pick $MyOutput 1]
# :put [:pick $MyOutput 2]
# :put [:pick $MyOutput ...]

 :set output ([:pick \$input1 7 11] . \$mon . [:pick \$input1 4 6])
 :set output [:tonum \$output]
 :set output [:toarray \$output]
 };"
# TimeToNum: Removes ':' from given time (hh:mm:ss) -> (hhmmss)
# Input array:
# 0 = string time "hh:mm:ss"
# Output array:
# 0 = numeric time hhmmss

How does a gold nanorod melt?
TitleHow does a gold nanorod melt?
Publication TypeJournal Article
Year of Publication2000
AuthorsLink, S, Wang, ZL, EL-Sayed, MA

Accession NumberWOS:000088945700001
Structural transformation of gold nanorods are investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy after they have been exposed to low-energy femtosecond and nanosecond laser pulses in colloidal solution. The pulse energies were below the gold nanorod melting threshold, but allowed early stage shape transformation processes, It is found that while the as-prepared nanorods are defect-free, laser-irradiation induces point and line defects. The defects are dominated by (multiple) twins and stacking faults (planar defects), which are the precursor that drives the nanorods to convert their {110} facets into the more stable {100} and {111} facets and hence minimize their surface energy. These observations suggest that short-laser pulsed photothermal melting begins with the creation of defects inside the nanorods followed by surface reconstruction and diffusion, in contrast with the thermal melting of the rods or the bulk material, where the melting starts at the surface.

A ground-breaking study has found that one in five samples of Australian honey is fake, including boutique expensive brands.
The study, conducted at Macquarie University by a team of scientists, tested five raw honey samples and 95 local and global-branded honey, of which 27 percent were found to be adulterated.
More than half of the 100 global sourced samples found that honey from Asia, mainly China, had been mixed with other non-honey substances.
However, of the 38 Australian honey samples that were tested from supermarkets, 18 percent identified adulteration.
According to The Age, Victoria, Queensland, NSW and Tasmania are the four states implicated.
The results state that of all the Australian honey samples that were found to be adulterated, 23 percent belonged to Tasmania, one out of two were found from NSW, 29 percent of Victoria's honey was found to be fake and a third of the six samples from Queensland were not pure honey.
The samples from South Australia and Western Australia found pure honey.
The high-security government lab that tested the honey, the National Measurement Institute, is also used to test drugs by Border Force. The scientific team, led by Professor Mark Taylor and PhD student Xiaoteng Zhou, also highlighted issues with mis-labelling of geographic regions.
In regards to imported honey, the findings were released just weeks after a joint investigation by Fairfax and the ABC's 7:30.
"Blended honey of unknown origin has been known to contain antibiotics, toxins, irradiated pollen or even alkaloids with the potential to cause organ damage," the study said.
The findings are expected to put pressure on authorities to begin testing local honey.
Peter McDonald, the chairman of the Australia Honey Bee Industry Council (AHBIC), said authorities have not tested local honey.
"It is up to the individual companies that actually buy the honey to then test," McDonald said.
"I am fully confident that the Australian honey bee industry is clean and green and we have the best product in the world."

Pi-Web Join in a Web Warehouse
This document has been relocated to _URL_
There were 1 downloads as of 27 Jun 2016.
With the enormous amount of data stored in the World Wide Web, it is increasingly important to design and develop powerful web warehousing tools. The key objective of our web warehousing project, called WHOWEDA (Warehouse of Web Data), is to design and implement a web warehouse that materializes and manages useful information from the web. We introduce the concept of Π-web join in the context of WHOWEDA. Pi-web join operator is a web information manipulation operator to combine relevant web information residing in two web tables. Informally, it is the combination of web join and web project operators which filter out irrelevant information from a joined web table. We show how to construct the Π-joined web table and its schema. We also highlight the benefits of the Pi-web join operator.

Moving TimePilot Tap+ Clock-In Data to TimePilot Central
If you're using your Tap+ without the cable—that's how we intended it to be used when we designed it—at some point you'll want to get your clock-ins and clock-outs into the TimePilot database on your PC. Here's how:
The red 'Not Connected' means the clock isn't connected to the PC with the USB cable.
1. Click the TimePilot Tap icon (shown at right) on your desktop. The Tap Manager will appear on your screen. (See screenshot above.) Note that the words "Not Connected" appear in the white box. That will change in the next step!
The green 'Connected' means the clock is connected to the PC with the USB cable.
2. Connect the USB cable that came with your Tap+ to the port on the Tap+ clock and plug the other end into a USB port on your computer. In a few seconds, the Red "Not Connected" will change to a green "Connected" and the date and time will appear. (See screenshot above.) At the same time, the clock-in and clock-out data is automatically transferred from the clock to the database, the time on the clock is updated to match the time on your PC and the battery in the clock is recharged.
3. Start TimePilot Central and view your newly imported transactions.

Audi Teases New Lightweight R8 Variant Codenamed NF
During a presentation at a technology demonstration at its lightweight research and production plant in Neckersulm, Germany, senior Audi product developers teased an upcoming R8 supercar variant codenamed "NF" that will feature even greater usage of lightweight composites.
Before we go any further, the photos you see here are not the NF. Audi showed journalists a computer rendering of the passenger cell of the NF during a presentation on the progression of carbon-fiber and other lightweight materials in Audi vehicles. The white R8 5.2 V-10 you see depicted is a lightweight prototype we believe is related to the NF project. Audi would not allow cameras into the presentations, instead handing out the approved photos you see here.
The vehicle identified as R8 NF was featured on a timeline describing the proliferation of carbon-fiber in vehicles such as the R8 and highlighted the carbon-fiber engine cover on the R8 Spyder, the roof of the R8-based E-Tron and the various pieces found on the limited-run R8 GT, amongst others. Denoted at the 2014 mark was the NF, or more specifically, the passenger section. The image, taken in context, implied that the NF would feature a new carbon-fiber rear bulkhead between the seat backs and the engine compartment and showed the carbon-fiber piece extending into the lower B-pillars. Audi would not elaborate on the image.
Later during a tour of the Audi Lightweight Design Center at Neckersulm, however, the company showed off the white R8 prototype you see here. This car has had multiple pieces of the bodywork replaced with carbon-fiber including the bumpers and the decklid. More significantly, Audi had also replaced the roof and floor pans with carbon-fiber. All told, Audi says, the prototype is 20-percent lighter than an aluminum-bodied R8. Audi engineers then unveiled a crash-tested prototype R8 similar to the white car that also featured carbon-fiber roof rails, an important structural member.
The photo of the video screen shows the crash test results, which reveals that the carbon-fiber floor pan survived the head-on front crash test without incident. Audi also used the same car in both a side-impact crash test with a pole and a roof-crush test, during which the carbon-fiber roof rails intruded minimally into the passenger cabin. The carbon-fiber floor didn't fare as well in the side-impact test, buckling underneath the seat but with almost no intrusion into the passenger cabin. Audi claims that the intrusion from all three tests was so small that the car meets current crash testing requirements. Audi did not provide pictures of the crash-test car.
The company had another spoiler up its sleeve as well. Later in the demonstration, the company elaborated on the research it has done on the use of carbon-fiber as s structural element. The wavy, corrugated piece of carbon-fiber you see in the pictures was used in a drop test to assess its ability to absorb crash energy. Engineers then showed a simulation in which the corrugated piece was used behind the passenger compartment of a coupe (which looked an awful lot like an R8) for energy absorption during a rear-end crash. This leads us to believe that the company is researching the possibility of replacing traditional metal crumple zones with carbon-fiber in the future to further reduce weight.
We'll have more for you on Audi's research into lightweight materials and construction techniques later this weekend as the event continues.

Precise intensity and phase characterisation of optical telecommunication signals.
University of Southampton, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Optoelectronic Research Centre,
In this thesis, the accurate characterisation of a range of high speed optical telecommunication signals is presented. The main technique used to determine both the intensity and the phase profiles of these signals is based on spectrograms, and various developments and extensions of this method are presented. Finally, data modulated pulses in a 40 Gbit/s system are characterised before and after propagation in an installed fibre link, and excellent agreement is found between the information retrieved from the spectrogram method, independent intensity measurements and theoretical expectations.

Prayer Times in Quran
After the testimony of Faith, Salah (prayer) is the second major pillar of Islam. So Salah is an obligation for every Muslim to perform it on time. Muslims from all across the globe perform Salah five times a day:
Like Ramadan, Hajj and Friday prayer, Salah is also one of the rituals that must be performed within the correct time frame. If a prayer is performed before the prescribed time, the Salah will not be accepted. One must repeat this prayer when the time comes. At the same time, people are disobedient when a prayer is made too late. Allah has ordered us in ayah 103 of Surah 4 to perform the prayers at least (there are some other conditions) within the right time in order to get a prayer accepted!
Calculation Method for the prayer times in Saint-Norbert
The Calculation method for the prayer times in Saint-Norbert is based on the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). This method is using 15 degrees for Angle of the sun under the horizon (Fajr) and 15 degrees Angle of the sun under the horizon (Isha). Parts of the USA, Canada, Parts of the UK use this method.
The difference between Standard and Hanafi
The only difference is in the Asr prayer. The schools of Shafii, Hanbali, and Maliki use this method and Asr time starts when the shadow of an object is equivalent to its height. In the Hanafi method the Asr prayer time starts when the shadow of an object is twice its height. We use the standard method, so If your local mosque is using the Hanafi method you need to change this at the general prayer times page.
Latitude, Longitude and Time zone of Saint-Norbert
To calculate the prayer times for Saint-Norbert, we need to know the latitude, longitude and the local timezone of Saint-Norbert. We try to detect the longitude, latitude and timezone of your current city or town automatically. If you face any difference in prayer timings according to your current location then please confirm the latitude and longitude first at the general prayer times page. In addition, you can also find a GPS functionality at this page. You can also adjust other settings for the calculation for the prayer times of Saint-Norbert. But please be careful!
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from standard time during the summer months (summer time), and back again in the fall (winter time), in order to make better use of natural strong daylight. The prayer times widget is adjusting the daylight savings automatically according to your location.
Are the Prayer Times in Saint-Norbert accurate?
We have explained above what calculation method is used to show the prayer times for Saint-Norbert. However, it is possible that your local mosque is using a different method. If this is the case then we recommend you to follow the prayer times of your local mosque. In addition, we would greatly appreciate it if you take the time to inform us by using the contact form about the differences so we can adjust the prayer times of Saint-Norbert.


A British Supermarket Successfully Sent a Chicken Nugget to Space
While many strange things have been sent up to space, from cookie dough to toilets worth millions of dollars, this is the first time fast food found its way to orbit. According to the media, the British supermarket chain Iceland Foods Ltd was able to launch a chicken nugget all the way up to space on October 13. The supermarket did the stunt as a way to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
According to Andrew Staniland, the chain's trading director, 2020 was a huge year for the Iceland Foods supermarkets, and they wanted to mark the occasion in a special way. He added that this was the best way for the chain to show that their products were indeed out of this world. The company sent a chicken nugget because it was one of its customers' favorite products.
 "Sent Into Space" Helped Get the Chicken Nugget Out of the Atmosphere
Chicken nugget in spaceIceland Foods teamed up with Sent Into Space to organize the launch and ensure it would be a complete success. The chicken nugget was taken to a predetermined launch site in Wales, where it was tied to a gas-filled weather balloon and released to go to Near Space. It reached an altitude of about 110,000 feet or 20.7 miles, and the media reported it traveled at about 200 mph.
When the nugget was at its highest point into space, the distance was enough to fit around 880,000 chicken nuggets. The nugget made it to Near Space easily and stayed in that area for a while. Scientists refer to Near Space when talking about the space between Earth's atmosphere and Outer Space. It starts at twelve miles above sea level and ends at around 62 miles.
The Chicken Nugget Floated in Space for About an Hour
The chicken nugget after one hour in space
Once the chicken nugget was in Near Space, it stayed there for about an hour and then started descending back to earth. Its fall had to be slowed down by a parachute, and the landing was also a success. Because the nugget was frozen when it was launched, it showed itself to be indifferent to the very low temperatures of space.

CRecordset::m_nFields
Contains the number of field data members in the recordset class; that is, the number of columns selected by the recordset from the data source.
The constructor for the recordset class must initialize m_nFields with the correct number. If you have not implemented bulk row fetching, ClassWizard writes this initialization for you when you use it to declare your recordset class. You can also write it manually.
The framework uses this number to manage interaction between the field data members and the corresponding columns of the current record on the data source.
Caution note Caution
This number must correspond to the number of "output columns" registered in DoFieldExchange or DoBulkFieldExchange after a call to SetFieldType with the parameter CFieldExchange::outputColumn.
You can bind columns dynamically, as explained in the article "Recordset: Dynamically Binding Data Columns." If you do so, you must increase the count in m_nFields to reflect the number of RFX or Bulk RFX function calls in your DoFieldExchange or DoBulkFieldExchange member function for the dynamically bound columns.

DEA efficiency prediction based on IG–SVM
- 84 Downloads
The traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) model is widely used for efficiency evaluation of decision making unit composed of past or current input–output data in production system. We propose a new efficiency prediction model which for the first time combines information granulation (IG) and support vector machine (SVM) with DEA model, to evaluate the future efficiency of decision making unit in this paper. The model first uses fuzzy information granulation to granulate the input–output data over time series and then describe the characteristics of the data within each time window by the minimum, average and maximum values and establish the IG–SVM model based on the fuzzy information granulation and support vector machine. After training by time series data, the optimal model of regression is built. Based on this model, the minimum, average and maximum values of the next window in the future are predicted, and finally the future efficiency of the decision making unit can be calculated by the DEA model. Case studies show the feasibility and applicability of the proposed method.

The Modern Maximum refers to the period of relatively high solar activity which began with Solar Cycle 15 in 1914. It reached a maximum in Cycle 19 during the late 1950s and may have ended with the peak of Cycle 23 in 2000, as Cycle 24 is recording, at best, very muted solar activity. Another proposed end date for the maximum is 2007, with the decline phase of Cycle 23. In any case, the low solar activity of Cycle 24 in the 2010s marked a new period of reduced solar activity.
This maximum period is a natural example of solar variation, and one of many that are known from proxy records of past solar variability. The Modern Maximum reached a double peak once in the 1950s and again during the 1990s.

September 11 – National Hot Cross Buns Day
Posted on September 11, 2012
National Hot Cross Buns Day
Five Food Finds about Hot Cross Buns
- A hot cross bun is a spiced sweet bun made with currants or raisins and marked with a cross on the top, traditionally eaten on Good Friday.
- In many historically Christian countries, buns are traditionally eaten hot or toasted on Good Friday, with the cross standing as a symbol of the Crucifixion.
- They are believed by some to pre-date Christianity, although the first recorded use of the term "hot cross bun" was not until 1733.
- It is believed that buns marked with a cross were eaten by Saxons in honour of the goddess Eostre (the cross is thought to have symbolised the four quarters of the moon); "Eostre" is probably the origin of the name "Easter".
- Others claim that the Greeks marked cakes with a cross, much earlier.

PennController.GetTable( tablename ).filter( "column", "match" )
PennController.GetTable( tablename ).filter( "column", /match/ )
PennController.GetTable( tablename ).filter( function )
Returns a filtered version of the table, containing only rows whose specified column's value is a match.
If you use a string then the column's value must match the text exactly. Alternatively, you can use a regular expression to test the column's value. You can also use a function that will take each row as an argument and should return
true to keep the row or
false to exclude it.
You can use several
filters in chain.
Template( GetTable( "spreadsheet.csv" ).filter( row => row.Item > 0 ) // 'Item' should be greater than 0, and.filter( "ButtonText", /second/ ) // 'ButtonText' should contain'second', row => newTrial( "button trial", newButton("test button", row.ButtonText).print().wait() ).log( "Item", row.Item ).log( "Text", row.ButtonText ) );
Generates only one trial from a subset of the table spreadsheet.csv: first we only consider rows where the value in the Item column is a number greater than 0 (this is practically ineffective, for both rows in spreadsheet.csv already satisfy this condition) and we further consider only rows among those rows where the value of the ButtonText column is a text containing the string second (only the second row satisfies this condition).

Study on the correlation of pH, soluble sugar and anthocyanin concentrations in different genotypes of Chinese kale
The relationship between anthocyanin concentration, pH and sugar concentration in the flower stalk of Chinese kale (Brassica alboglabra LSQUOBaileyRSQUO) was examined. F1 plants were obtained by reciprocal crossing of two Chinese kale cultivars ['HongjiaoRSQUO (amaranthine flower stalks) and LSQUOZhonghuaRSQUO (green flower stalks)], and F2 progeny were generated by self-crossing of F1 plants. Correlations between pH, soluble sugar and anthocyanin concentration in flower stalk of different genotypes were then analysed. The results showed that the pH of the epidermis in the flower stalks of LSQUOHongjiaoRSQUO, LSQUOZhonghuaRSQUO, and their respective F1 and F2 progeny were all lower than pH 7. The anthocyanin concentrations differed between different genotypes. Positive correlations were recorded between anthocyanin concentrations and pH in the epidermis of flower stalks, and between the anthocyanin concentrations and the soluble sugar concentrations in leaves and flower stalks.

STAR Cities: Sustainable Tourism for Attractivity of Riverside Cities
Many European territories have developed strong relations with rivers, that take on an economic and social role in their history. In the heart of European cities or in suburban areas, riversides offer exceptional natural, cultural, and industrial heritage, both tangible and intangible. They give the opportunity to combine traditional tourism visits such as monuments and museums, with more natural and original places. That is why riverside development is a real opportunity for European cities to create innovative solutions for sustainable tourism development.
The STAR Cities project encompasses the entire tourism ecosystem existing along rivers that is relevant to the specific objective of the Interreg Europe programme, which deals with the protection, promotion and development of natural heritage, biodiversity, and ecosystems. In this framework, STAR Cities project aims at improving regional policies on natural, cultural heritage and tourism development. It also aims at making policy makers consider the development of a riverside environment of European cities as a new tourism offer by focusing on sustainable development as a major issue.
- Conducting three thematic, interactive interregional learning sessions – a combination of study visits and workshops and exchange of experiences among project partners and stakeholders from individual cities / areas.
- Development of common Policy Guidelines and Recommendations based on the results of all three thematic workshops.
- Preparation of a Regional Assessment with a State of Play for the Ljubljana Moors area with accents on the Ljubljanica riverbank and with the included Ljubljana centre.

 Regular repair and maintenance
Having a regular inspection done on the hydronic baseboard will ensure it keeps running smoothly.
How do you maintain the hydronic baseboard heater?
First monitor the thermostatic pressure to make sure it measures the temperature, pressure and the height of the water in the unit. Failure to check the pressure gauge could put you in a potential risk if the pressure exceeds 30 pounds. The optimal pressure should be between 12 pounds to 15 pounds.
If the pressure is too high, drain the excess water. Locate the drain valve then turn off the power unit. Then drain off the excess water until the meter is reset.
Hydronic baseboard heaters covers
Perhaps you would want to put a cover on your hydronic baseboard heater. Either because you can't find a hydronic heater that matches interior decor or you simply want to replace the one you use for reasons which could be the cover is discolored or damaged.
Don't worry, you can find a hydronic baseboard heater cover that best suits you.
Baseboard Heat Covers, Baseboard Heater Cover With Caps
This is an elegant baseboard cover with superior quality that comes in a variety of measurements available from 2 to 8 feet. Besides having long-lasting qualities, they are also easy to clean.
1. What Is A Hydronic Baseboard Heater?
You may wonder, what is a hydronic baseboard heater?
To answer the question, let's isolate each component of the word Hydronic baseboard heater.
It's called hydronic because it uses a liquid as a medium. The liquid is typically water or mineral oil.
The use of the words baseboard heater means, that the heater is installed externally on a wall near the floor as opposed to mounting inside walls or freestanding.
So a hydronic baseboard heater is a unit that uses water to some capacity and is attached to a wall at the floor level at a central position. Heating pipes are run under the floor, which is designed to be used to transfer and emit heat across several rooms or zones. This creates an inbuilt heating system.
Hydronic baseboard heaters evolved from the old hollow cast iron radiators to today's trendy and beautiful and stylish baseboard heaters.
Hydronic baseboard heaters are long and relatively slim and provide a simple, cost-effective alternative to warm up your home.
2. How does a Hydronic baseboard heater work?
Hydronic baseboard heaters are common in many homes.
However many people do not know the technical aspect of the hydronic baseboard heater.
Basically a hydronic baseboard heater uses the same principle of radiation like the sun to warm up your home.
The baseboard heater contains a heating element surrounded by a metal tube. The metal tube is filled with water.
When the heater is switched on, the electricity heats the element in the tube which then heats the water inside.
The water turns to hot which then disperses the heat to the aluminum fins along the heater tube. This heat up the surrounding air before the air starts circulating throughout the room or heating zone.
The piping system then further channels heat into more rooms. Heat is sourced from the central baseboard heater, is maintained through flow control valves. In this way, hot water regulates the temperature according to the settings on the thermostat.
convection baseboard heaters are other baseboard heaters that typically resemble hydronic baseboard in terms of design characteristics.
They are placed under windows and are used to warm up small rooms. Unlike hydronic baseboard heaters, convection heaters aren't able to diffuse the heat produced so they require a fan.
They draw cool air in from close to the floor, through the bottom and project it up and a small fan pushes the warm air out overheated fins on top of the heating unit into the room.
3. Are hydronic baseboard heaters self-contained?
Hydronic baseboard heaters are self-contained types. You can move the baseboard heater anywhere in the room.
Nevertheless, you can opt for a central location for the baseboard heaters.
4. How many hydronic baseboard heaters do I need?
You only require one baseboard heater to warm your home with hydronic baseboard heaters. For small rooms or zones use an electric baseboard heater because they are most convenient and are quick to install.
5. Will hydronic baseboard heaters freeze?
The liquid inside hydronic baseboard heaters is made specially treated water that cannot freeze regardless of the outside temperature. The asbestos material used maintains the temperature of the liquid to continue emitting heat even when the baseboard heater has been turned off.
Technology has allowed us to bring comfort to our homes during the cold months with Hydronic baseboard heaters which give a very convenient and effective source of heat to add comfort to your home.

Open, closed, open is a technique of playing snare drum rudiments, especially used during auditions.
Open, closed, open technique consists of beginning the rudiment very slow and controlled, speeding up evenly until at the maximum speed for the drummer, then slowing back down after maintaining that speed. Optimally, the drummer should end on the opposite hand as started, in case of alternating rudiments such as paradiddles. Also, the speed ended at should be approximately the same speed as the drummer began.

Air Cooled vs Liquid Cooled Generator: How They Differ
Air Cooled vs Liquid Cooled Generator
Written by Jamie Masterson
The primary difference between an air-cooled generator and a liquid-cooled generator is the use of coolant. Air-cooled generators use surrounding air to cool the engine while liquid-cooled units use water, oils, or other coolants.
Let's dig deeper and see what differentiates them.
Air Cooled vs Liquid Cooled Generator: How They Differ
1. Use
Air-cooled generator
The air-cooling system is used by small to medium powered generators and they are the most widely available generators. The basic principle comes down to the heat dissipation technique. Air-cooled generators use the flow of air to cool the engine down.
Air cooling is the perfect system for any backup generator. They are mainly used in household, non-industrial, or smaller works (up to 22 kW). Most home appliances use air-cooled generators.
Use
Liquid-cooled generator
Unlike air-cooled generators, liquid-based cooling systems use a wide range of cooling liquids (just like your car) and can disperse heat much more efficiently. These generators feature enclosed radiator systems and are usually seen in higher-kilowatt units (above 22 kW).
Liquid-cooled generators are a bit more expensive, mainly because of the better heat dissipation technology. You'll find them in industrial and commercial settings.
2. Complexity
Air-cooled generator
The air-cooling system is simpler in design. The basic idea is to let the colder air pass through the hot parts of the engine. Engines produce a lot of heat, and the cooling system protects the engine from overheating. Modern engines achieve this feat by increasing the surface area.
Air-cooled generators are designed in such a way that cold air will enter the machine from one side and the hotter air will exhaust the system from another.
Air-cooled generator
Liquid-cooled generator
This might be true that the air cooling system is efficient, but it has its limitations. Air isn't a good heat conductor. As a result, the heating will be more difficult to handle as the engine runs for a long time.
Coolants like water, oil, or chemicals are much more efficient at heat dissipating. However, they are also more complex. The coolants require a closed system, a radiator, a thermostat, and many other additional components just to keep your generator going uninterrupted.
3. Maintenance
Air-cooled generator
Air-cooled generators are compact and lightweight by design. That's why they're much easier to maintain as well. Without all the complexities of a liquid-cooled engine, the maintenance of an air-cooled engine is pretty straightforward.
The general maintenance process includes checking oil levels, understanding safety precautions, and keeping an eye on the battery level.
Maintenance
Liquid-cooled generator
The more complex a system gets, the more sophisticated its maintenance becomes. You'll need more frequent and intricate maintenance tasks when it comes to taking care of the liquid-cooled generators.
Some of those tasks include inspecting the antifreeze level, lines, and connections for potential leaks; and making sure the liquid is working properly. Luckily, these complex machines have dedicated maintenance kits that need to be used regularly.
4. Requirements
Air-cooled generator
As mentioned above, air-cooled generators are mostly used in small power levels. The more steady output you need from your generator, the longer it has to run and the more sophisticated it needs to be.
A smaller and lighter air-cooled generator can provide you with around 8 – 22 kilowatts of power. That's why they're a good choice as an occasional backup power source. Air-cooled generators are mostly used in household tasks.
Air-cooled generator Requirements
Liquid-cooled generator
Designed for a more heavy and steady workload, liquid-cooled generators are the perfect solution for industrial or heavy-duty power supply tasks.
The greatest advantage of liquid-cooled generators is their longevity. They can provide a steady stream of power over an extended period of time. They are used in hospitals, databases, apartments, stadiums, malls, and other big infrastructures.
5. Noise
Air-cooled generator
Air-cooled generators produce a loud noise while working, mainly due to the combustion process happening inside. The intake or exhaust fan (if you have any) can also create noise that can be identified as loud.
In most cases, air-cooled generators produce a loud noise that can be irritating to many people.
Noise of generator
Liquid-cooled generator
Liquid-cooled generators are loud as well, but they are quieter than their air-cooled counterparts. The sound they produce can be easily contained using attenuated enclosures. Technically, liquid-cooled generators are more noisy than loud.
Pros & Cons of Air-Cooled and Liquid-Cooled Generators
Air-cooled
Pros
 - Portable and lightweight
 - Emergency backup solution
 - Perfect for smaller tasks
 - Less complex design
 - More affordable
 - Easy to use and maintain
Cons
 - Not good for heavy-duty jobs
 - Can't provide power over an extended period of time
 - They're loud
 - More prone to overheating
Liquid-cooled
Pros
 - They're more effective and powerful
 - Produces less noise
 - Perfect for long-term power supply
 - More durable and heavy-duty machine
 - Good in industrial/commercial environments
 - Perfect as a primary power source
Cons
 - More expensive
 - Less portable
 - Required more maintenance
Which one's best for you?
That greatly depends on how much power you need, for how long, and how much you are willing to invest. If you are looking for a backup power source for your home and household appliances, you won't need a large amount of power over a long time.
An Air-cooled generator will be your perfect choice in that case.
Air-cooled vs liquid-cooled generator - Which one's best for you
However, if you want more power over a long period of time, air-cooled generators won't cut it. You'll need more powerful liquid-cooled generators. They'll be perfect for powering your industrial or commercial appliances.
The heavier the load, the more powerful the generator should be. Liquid-cooled generators offer a viable solution to mid-high level power demands.
FAQs
Q. Do generators have to be maintained?
Yes, of course. Like most other machines, your generator will also require regular maintenance. The frequency and intensity of the maintenance will depend on the quality of your generator. Lightweight and smaller units will need less frequent maintenance.
Q. Can an air-cooled generator be installed indoors?
No. We don't recommend any kind of generators to be used indoors. It can cost you more and toxic fumes may build up indoors, leaving your lives at risk.
Q. Is a liquid-cooled generator worth it?
Yes. Not only do liquid-cooled generators provide a larger amount of power, but they also provide additional comfort by reducing fire hazards, and noise levels while increasing fuel efficiency.

The biggest erogenous zone for women is not between her legs but between her ears. Stimulating her body is the easy part. Stimulating her mind shows her what you are really made of. There are many different ways to stimulate a woman's mind so try different techniques. Study, listen and understand your woman and her every need. When your woman grows accustomed to one technique, change things up. Add to your list of things to do to continue stimulating her mind. Each woman has her own unique ways of being stimulated. Be creative and enjoy exploring your options.
Although there are many ways to stimulate a woman's mind, I have compiled a list of 10 ways that will definitely get you started. Please feel free to add to this list in the comments section.
1. Take Charge Women look up to men who are willing to take charge as the leader. Not only wear the title of leader but men who are willing to follow through as the leader and make things happen. Most women embrace having a take charge person that she can trust to lead, direct and follow through.
2.Intelligence Broaden your topics of conversation by studying and researching the things women are interested in. Talk to her outside of bedroom topics. Discuss your life, goals and dreams. Challenge her thinking with new perspectives. Express yourself and articulate your emotions. Instead of groping her and/or being overly sexually explicit about your desires, find other intelligent ways of expressing your desires to her. Express to her she is worth the extra effort and she stands out from the rest.
3.Listening Skills When communicating with a particular woman do your research and find out what her interests are. Listen to her and make mental notes of the certain things she likes or things that make her smile. Listen to what she talks about most often. If she tells you she really likes a certain scent on you, wear it more often. If she tells you she likes a particular food, visit those places for your dates. Take the time to really listen to her and take mental notes. She will tell you exactly what it takes to stimulate her mind. If she doesn't tell you right away, continue striving to earn her trust. Find ways to get her to talking while you patiently listen and take mental notes.
4.Observation Pay attention to the details of her life. What perfume is she wearing? Or has she mentioned a favorite scent? What is her favorite food? Is she a homebody or like large crowds? Pay attention to the small details of her life. Once the details of her life are revealed, do things to show her you are interested in her life. Don't ask her if you should, just do it and do it just because… What are her favorite television shows, designer handbags, shoes, favorite movies, favorite artists, favorite celebrities and/or genre of music. Broaden your knowledge on certain topics. Venture into different places to travel, things to see or people to meet in order to mentally stimulate your woman's mind.
5.Mannerism Show some manners. When you go out on dates with your woman, sit facing the door. Facing the door shows her you have her back. Also when escorting her out, be sure to walk on the traffic side. This shows her you are her protector. When you show her you are a gentleman by opening doors, being respectful and just showing old school charm; this can also stimulate a woman's mind.
6.Pure Emotion When you speak from the heart and are not afraid to share your innermost secrets with her, this shows that you trust her. This stimulates her mind and causes her to trust you with her innermost secrets. Openly express your emotions with her.
7.New Experiences If you frequently visit rhythm and blues venues, try something different. Maybe Jazz/Blues, Country/Western, Caribbean, salsa, piano bars, poetry night or something she hasn't experienced before. Be creative.
8.No Pretending A woman can sense when you are not who you claim to be. Boasting about your six figure salary and all of your exquisite tastes will not stimulate a woman's mind. Maybe a gold digger's mind but not a woman seeking a true partnership. Research diverse topics and share your knowledge with her. If a woman senses you are running game, she will shut down and not trust you. All mental stimulation is lost. Be truthful and honest.
9.Earn Her Trust When a woman has the confidence in her man that he is a problem solver; she begins to let her guard down and trust you more. She opens up her heart to you, knowing you have her best interests in mind. She feels protected and safe. She knows you are safeguarding her heart. She can share things with you that the world doesn't know. She can lean on you for strength when she is weak and you will catch her.
10. Sense of Humor Find ways to make her laugh. Find her unique sense of humor and keep her laughing. Laughter soothes the soul and will stimulate her mind.

||Higher-Dimensional general Jacobi identities I
It was shown by the author [International Journal of Theoretical Physics 36 (1997), _PHONE_] in synthetic differential geometry that what is called the general Jacobi identity obtaining in microcubes underlies the Jacobi identity of vector fields. It is well known in the theory of Lie algebras that a plethora of higher-dimensional generalizations of the Jacobi identity hold, though it is usually established not as a direct derivation from the axioms of Lie algebras but by making an appeal to the so-called Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt theorem. The general Jacobi identity was rediscovered by Kirill Mackenzie in the second decade of this century [Geometric Methods in Physics, 357-366, Birkh\"auser/Springer 2013]. The principal objective in this paper is to investigate a four-dimensional generalization of the general Jacobi identity in detail. In a subsequent paper we will propose a uniform method for establishing a bevy of higher-dimensional generalizations of the Jacobi identity under a single umbrella.

2.5.12. Negation
If constraint C 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑦 holds then constraint C 𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜 does not hold. Reciprocally, if constraint C 𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜 holds then constraint C 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑦 does not hold. Note that constraints C 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑦 and C 𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜 must also have exactly the same parameters, but not necessarily the same parameters restrictions.
EXAMPLE: As an example, the constraint C 𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜 = 𝚗𝚘𝚝_𝚊𝚕𝚕_𝚎𝚚𝚞𝚊𝚕 (i.e., prevent all variables to be assigned the same value) is the negation of constraint C 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑦 = 𝚊𝚕𝚕_𝚎𝚚𝚞𝚊𝚕 (i.e., enforce all variables to be assigned the same value).

AI Takes the Mic: Wimbledon Introduces AI Commentary
The prestigious Wimbledon tennis tournament kicked off on Monday, but this year, there's a new champion stealing the spotlight: artificial intelligence.
AI is revolutionizing the broadcast coverage with its debut as a commentator.
The All England Lawn Tennis Club has unveiled an AI-powered commentary feature for Wimbledon, available on the tournament's app and website. In order to produce real-time commentary, IBM's AI platform called Watson analyses player positioning, shot types, and ball tracking data, takes center stage.
The All England Club and IBM iX experts collaborated to train the AI model with the language of tennis, producing an interesting and educational narration with a wide range of vocabulary and sentence patterns.
Viewers will be able to toggle the AI commentary on or off in the post-match highlights on Wimbledon.com and the Wimbledon app.
For those who prefer the natural sounds of the game, such as the racket hitting the ball and the cheers from the crowd, the option to turn off the AI commentary is available.
This isn't the first time AI has taken on a role in sports commentary. In April, The US Masters golf event incorporated AI commentary giving it a novel touch.
Additionally, Wimbledon has introduced a new AI draw analysis feature. Each player's route to the singles draw final is determined by a statistic that is calculated by this AI-powered tool.
By considering factors like potential opponents and player positions, fans gain valuable insights beyond traditional player rankings.
With AI at its side, Wimbledon is embracing innovation and providing tennis enthusiasts with an enhanced viewing experience filled with both technological advancements and exciting surprises in the tournament's draws.

Recently CESR's Mahinour El-Badrawi was interviewed for Tax Justice Network's Arabic Podcast about the Egypt Social Progress Indicators (ESPI). ESPI is a metric that presents a multidimensional picture of social and economic well-being in Egypt, providing an alternative to the traditional economic indicators that ignore the experience of tens of millions who are left behind from the economic growth narratives. ESPI was featured on the podcast as a model rights-based metric that monitors and benchmarks progress on social and economic justice.
In the interview, El-Badrawi discusses how ESPI is unique in its comprehensiveness as a tool that covers six socioeconomic thematic topics; in the depth and rigor in its methodology for measuring progress (or lack thereof) through the four dimensions of OPERA; and in its innovation and action-oriented narrative as it uses sources for benchmarking progress that go beyond field silos.
El-Badrawi also explains how ESPI uses human rights norms and obligations for benchmarks and SDG targets, as well as cross-country comparisons to provide achievable recommendations for policy change for better ESR outcomes. By going beyond classic macroeconomic indicators, ESPI gives a more comprehensive picture of the experience of those that are left behind and who often share the heaviest burdens of reforms in times of economic crises. This is true in the case of Egypt and the International Money Reform bank reform program currently being implemented there.
The El-Badrawi segment starts around 8:00.

Trust transfer is a promising perspective on prevalent discussions about trust in AI-capable technologies. However, the convergence of AI with other technologies challenges existing theoretical assumptions. First, it remains unanswered whether both trust in AI and the base technology is necessary for trust transfer. Second, a nuanced view on trust sources is needed, considering the dual role of trust. To address these issues, we examine whether trust in providers and trust in technologies are necessary trust conditions. We conducted a survey with 432 participants in the context of autonomous vehicles and applied necessary condition analysis. Our results indicate that trust in AI technology and vehicle technology are necessary sources. In contrast, only vehicle providers represent a necessary source. We contribute to research by providing a novel perspective on trust in AI, applying a promising data analysis method to reveal necessary trust sources, and consider duality of trust in trust transfer.

A stone crushing company is planning to purchase a Wheel Loader to be used for conveying raw stone to a large Stone Crushing Machine and loading crushed stone in trucks. A new Wheel loader can be purchased directly from Caterpillar company for $150,000. The new Wheel Loader will reduce the annual cost by $25,500 and increase annual operating expenses by $4,500. The useful life of the Wheel Loader is 20 years. After 20 years it will have a salvage value of $30,000. Company uses straight line method of depreciation for all assets.
Compute accounting rate of return of wheel loader using average investment approach.
Step 1; Computation of depreciation:
Annual depreciation = (Cost of the asset – Salvage value)/Useful life
= ($150,000 – $30,000)/20
Step 2; Computation of annual net cost saving:
Annual net cost saving = $25,500 – ($4,500 + $6,000)
Step 3; Computation of average investment in asset:
Because the company uses straight line method of depreciation, the average investment can be computed by adding cost of the asset to the residual value and then dividing by 2. It is shown below:
Average investment = (Cost of the asset + Residual value)/2
= ($150,000 + $30,000)/2
Step 4; Computation of accounting rate of return:
Accounting rate of return = Annual net cost saving / average investment
= $15,000 / $90,000


How to Line a Pan
This time-saving trick comes in handy when you're making brownies or fudge.
Lining a Baking Pan with Foil
This method of keeping things from sticking to the pan is used most often for brownies, bar cookies, and fudge. The additional advantage of this method is that it allows you to easily lift the bars out of the pan before cutting them.
Lining pan with foil
 1. Tear a piece of foil that is larger than the pan. Shape the foil over the outside of the pan bottom. Cut slits at the corners to make it fit neatly.
 2. Gently lift the shaped foil off the pan.
 3. Turn the pan over and fit the shaped foil into it. Leave an inch or two of overhang to use as "handles" to lift the baked goods out of the pan.

as boneless wings on menus. Boneless chicken breasts have a lower fat content than chicken wings when fried. Because the fat difference is insufficient to provide significant health benefits, persons who prefer boneless Buffalo wings to bone-in wings do so because they like the flavour.
Do Air Fryers have Health Benefits?
When you bite into a dish of french fries or a plate of fried chicken, the familiar crispy crunch and moist, chewy centre hit you right away. However, the delectable taste of fried dishes comes with a price. According to research, the oils used to cook them are linked to health issues such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Air fryers are kitchen machines that promise the flavour, texture, and golden-brown colour of oil-fried foods without the fat and calories.
How does Air-Fried Food Taste?
Is air-fried food as tasty as traditional fried food? It's a matter of opinion. The batter absorbs the oil required to cook the dish when it is fried. Because of this, fried meals have a delicious crisp on the outside while remaining moist on the inside. Foods that have been fried have a rich, dark colour that is appealing to the eye.
Air frying still gives you a crunch, but it doesn't have the same look or feel as oil frying. When comparing oil and air frying, researchers discovered that the two processes produced dishes with equal colour and moisture content but different textures and sensory aspects. The cooking technique is very important, and it will cook unevenly if you cram too much food into the little basket, leaving some crunchy and soggy parts.
The air fryer froze chicken wings! You can prepare the tastiest wings directly in your air fryer, a counter-top gadget. It turns out tasty and precisely cooked, with a juicy interior and crispy exterior. The only thing left to do now is choose the best dipping sauce for this simple side dish or appetizer.


Non-Zero Integer has Unique Positive Integer Associate
From ProofWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Theorem
Let $a \in \Z$ be an integer such that $a \ne 0$.
Then $a$ has a unique associate $b \in \Z_{>0}$.
Proof
Let $a, b, c \in \Z_{\ne 0}$ such that $b > 0$ and $c > 0$.
Let $a \sim b$ and $a \sim c$ where $\sim$ denotes the relation of associatehood.
By definition of associatehood:
$a \divides b$ and $b \divides a$
and:
$a \divides c$ and $c \divides a$
From Divisor Relation is Antisymmetric/Corollary/Proof 2:
$a = \pm b$
and
$a = \pm c$
That is:
$\pm b = \pm c$
which means:
$b = c$ or $b = -c$
But as both $b > 0$ and $c > 0$:
$b = c$
Hence the result.
$\blacksquare$
