Tarantella (Italian pronunciation: [taranˈtɛlla]) is a group of various folk dances characterized by a fast upbeat tempo, usually in 6
8 time (sometimes 18
8 or 4
4), accompanied by tambourines. It is among the most recognized forms of traditional southern Italian music. The specific dance-name varies with every region, for instance tammurriata in Campania, pizzica in the Salento region, Sonu a ballu in Calabria. Tarantella is popular in Southern Italy and Argentina.
In the Italian province of Taranto, Apulia, the bite of a locally common type of wolf spider, named "tarantula" after the region, was popularly believed to be highly poisonous and to lead to a hysterical condition known as tarantism. This became known as the Tarantella. R. Lowe Thompson proposed that the dance is a survival from a "Dianic or Dionysiac cult", driven underground. John Compton later proposed that the Roman Senate had suppressed these ancient Bacchanalian rites. In 186 BC the tarantella went underground, reappearing under the guise of emergency therapy for bite victims.
Courtship vs tarantism dances
The stately courtship tarantella danced by a couple or couples, short in duration, is graceful and elegant and features characteristic music. On the other hand, the supposedly curative or symptomatic tarantella was danced solo by a victim of a Lycosa tarantula spider bite (not to be confused with what is commonly known as a tarantula today); it was agitated in character, lasted for hours or even up to days, and featured characteristic music. However, other forms of the dance were and still are couple dances (not necessarily a couple of different sexes) usually either mimicking courtship or a sword fight. The confusion appears to arrive from the fact that the spiders, the condition, its sufferers ('tarantolati'), and the dances all have similar names to the city of Taranto.
The dance originated in the Apulia region, and spread throughout the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The Neapolitan tarantella is a courtship dance performed by couples whose "rhythms, melodies, gestures, and accompanying songs are quite distinct" featuring faster more cheerful music. Its origins may further lie in "a fifteenth-century fusion between the Spanish Fandango and the Moresque 'ballo di sfessartia'." The "magico-religious" tarantella is a solo dance performed supposedly to cure through perspiration the delirium and contortions attributed to the bite of a spider at harvest (summer) time. The dance was later applied as a supposed cure for the behavior of neurotic women ('Carnevaletto delle donne').
The tarantella is a dance in which the dancer and the drum player constantly try to upstage each other by playing faster or dancing longer than the other, subsequently tiring one person out first.
Tarantism, as a ritual, has roots in the ancient Greek myths. Reportedly, victims who had collapsed or were convulsing would begin to dance with appropriate music and be revived as if a tarantula had bitten them. The music used to treat dancing mania appears to be similar to that used in the case of tarantism though little is known about either. Justus Hecker (1795–1850), describes in his work Epidemics of the Middle Ages:
A convulsion infuriated the human frame [...]. Entire communities of people would join hands, dance, leap, scream, and shake for hours [...]. Music appeared to be the only means of combating the strange epidemic [...] lively, shrill tunes, played on trumpets and fifes, excited the dancers; soft, calm harmonies, graduated from fast to slow, high to low, prove efficacious for the cure.
The music used against spider bites featured drums and clarinets, was matched to the pace of the victim, and is only weakly connected to its later depiction in the tarantellas of Chopin, Liszt, Rossini, and Heller.
While most serious proponents speculated as to the direct physical benefits of the dancing rather than the power of the music a mid-18th century medical textbook gets the prevailing story backwards describing that tarantulas will be compelled to dance by violin music. It was thought that the Lycosa tarantula wolf spider had lent the name "tarantula" to an unrelated family of spiders, having been the species associated with Taranto, but since L. tarantula is not inherently deadly, the highly venomous Mediterranean black widow, Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, may have been the species originally associated with Taranto's manual grain harvest.
The Balanchine ballet Tarantella is set to the Grande Tarantelle for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 67 (ca. 1866) by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, reconstructed and orchestrated by Hershy Kay. The profusion of steps and the quick changes of direction that this brief but explosive pas de deux requires typify the ways in which Balanchine expanded the traditional vocabulary of classical dance.

Great Buddha of Kamakura
Tuesday, 29th November 2005 by Alex Turnbull
Right in the middle of our thumbnail, you can just make out the shape of the Great Buddha of Kamakura. Around 13 metres tall, the bronze statue is said to have been cast all the way back in 1252, and according to Wikipedia:
The Great Buddha was originally housed in a temple, but this was washed away by a tsunami in 1498, since when the statue has stood in the open air.
Wikipedia also mentions that each one of the Great Buddha's eyes are a metre wide!

When adding custom xFlow sensors, custom IPFIX, or custom Packet Sniffer sensors, you have the option to provide a Channel Definition using the following syntax (one entry per channel):
 - The must be 1 or a higher number, and it must be unique for the sensor. This means that each channel definition must have a unique ID.
 - The is linked to the historic data.
 i_round_redAs soon as you change the ID, you lose the history for this particular channel that the ID was linked to.
 - One rule can span multiple lines.
 - The is the channel's display name.
 - PRTG automatically adds one channel named Other. This channel counts all traffic for which you have not defined a specific channel.
The syntax is identical to the one described in the Filter Rules for xFlow, IPFIX, and Packet Sniffer Sensors section. Because data is accounted to the first match, make sure that you start with the most specific rule at the top and get less specific to the bottom.
i_round_redWe recommend that you write the rules list in an external editor first and then paste it into the Channel Definition field of the sensor in PRTG. If the rules contain an error, the entries are removed after adding them.
i_round_blueYou cannot delete channels of a sensor, even if you remove a channel from the channel definition. You also cannot change the display name of channels using the channel definition of custom xFlow sensors. Renaming is only possible via channel settings.

Safe and short seismic evacuation route is an basic guarantee for improving the level of urban resilience governance in the new era. Earthquake evacuation routes during disasters could reduce urban casualties and provide options of emergency evacuation for urban residents. Dongchuan District in Kunming, a small mountainous city, is affected by the Xiaojiang earthquake fault zone, resulting in frequent earthquake disasters, and the urban earthquake fortification intensity is as high as 9 degrees. In this paper, the influencing factors of post-disaster seismic evacuation routes in Dongchuan urban area were systematically analyzed, and the traffic capacity of evacuation routes were evaluated. The relationship between population concentration point and seismic shelter for evacuation was established based on ArcGIS. Then, the selection of multiple seismic evacuation routes was studied with the genetic algorithm. The results showed that many rural internal roads around the city and old urban roads in Dongchuan urban area do not meet the post-earthquake evacuation requirements. There are some service blind spots in the seismic shelters for evacuation, and some communities are lack of evacuation routes to connect with the seismic shelter for evacuation. Some selected paths which meet the evacuation requirements will take a long time. In case of disaster, the shortest path shall be given priority.

Frustration toolboxes are a visual tool that help students learn to regulate their own emotions and behaviours.
Of course, with enough practice, students will have enough tools to deal with more than just frustration, but that emotion is easy to identify and works as a relatable starting point.
On the front of the toolbox graphic is a place for students to write their name, as well as a space for them to make a list of 5 strategies that they can use to help them calm when they are upset or frustrated, de-escalate when they are agitated or angry, or refocus their energy when they are overly excited or active(or tired).
- "Creating Strategies for Self-Regulation" – detailed lesson plan outlining the creation of the frustration toolboxes, from when you first start discussion of self-regulation strategies to the moment you post them on the wall
- Colourful and original handouts for student brainstorming
- All-original clipart for the creation of the frustration toolboxes
- Real life examples of completed toolboxes
- ¼ page size Frustration Toolbox desk placards
- Copies of Frustration Toolbox clipart using "Self-Regulation Toolbox" for higher grades
- "Choosing the Right Tool for the Job" – detailed Role-Playing and Reflection lesson plan for practicing selection and performance of self-regulation strategies
- 24 unique role-playing scenarios to discuss and perform
- 5 designs of reflection exercises for students before, during, and after role play exercises
- 5 versions of "Weekly Toolbox Check" journal prompt pages to engage students in regular conversations about their strategies, and offer opportunities to update and adapt their toolbox
- Additional ideas for implementation
- Colour and black and white versions of all handouts
This package is meant to accompany instruction in behavioural self-management and is intended to aid in increased engagement in a special needs setting such as a Behaviour and Learning Assistance or similar program classroom. The graphics and act of physically making a frustration toolbox, then posting it in the room has proven, in my experience, to facilitate students' critical thinking about their emotional states and the behavioural responses attributed to them. The tools act as a visual aid to help them remember that they have options available when things are getting difficult, and being able to physically choose a tool to work with adds a tangible element to an otherwise very intangible and abstract social development task. The toolboxes aid in the development of independent self-regulation, and as an added bonus, they can work as an aid in communication between the student and classroom staff. Let's say for example that you notice a student has gone to the Chill Zone, or has left the room unexpectedly. Once students are familiar with the process of grabbing a tool from their toolbox as they work to calm or de-escalate, you would be able to check that student's toolbox, and perhaps see that his "Go for a walk to the office and back" measuring tape is gone.

Lab Fume Hoods
Fume Hoods use 3 avg. homes worth of electricity
A typical CAV hood consumes the same energy as three average houses ($2500-$3000/year).
Why do hoods consume so much energy?
Because they constantly remove conditioned air (heated or cooled) from the lab without the ability to easily turn them off when not needed. It is like heating your home in the winter with the windows and doors open. Fans also contribute to energy consumption but the loss of conditioned air is by far the largest source of energy consumption.
Fume Hood
What is a Constant Air Volume (CAV) Hood?
A CAV hood is a fume hood which removes the same volume of conditioned air (heated or cooled) from the lab whether the sash is open or closed. So regardless of whether a hood is in use (sash up) or not (sash down), the flow of air from the lab, into the hood, and exhausted from the building is the same. To prevent air velocity from increasing as the sash is closed (reducing the bottom opening to the hood), a bypass opening widens (typically behind a grill near the top of the hood) as the sash is lowered.
How does a Variable Air Volume (VAV) Hood Save Energy?
Shut the Sash
In contrast to a CAV hood, a VAV hood reduces the volume of conditioned air being removed from the lab as the sash is lowered. So when a sash is up at the maximum safe working level, the VAV hood acts like a CAV hood removing a similar volume of conditioned air as a CAV hood, but as the sash is lowered, the volume of air being removed from the lab decreases. Unlike a CAV hood, a VAV hood does not have a bypass opening. Instead, to keep the air velocity from increasing as the sash is closed, the exhaust fan slows accordingly to keep a constant air speed.
 - Keeping a sash completely closed on a VAV hood can greatly reduce the hood's energy consumption. Some say consumption can drop by up to 60%, but it really depends upon the conditions in the lab where the hood is located.
 - On CU-Boulder's campus, you can tell if your hood is VAV by looking for the "Shut the Sash!" sticker with a black hand (shown on this page).
How many fume hoods does CU-Boulder have?
 Approximately 350 CAV and 60 VAV
Are there plans in place to reduce fume hood energy consumption on campus?
Fume hoods are absolutely fundamental to lab safety. Our teaching and research activities at the same time present a major energy conservation opportunity.
Near Term Strategy:
Our goal is to educate and remind our students and lab staff to lower and close sashes when VAV hoods are not in use to save energy and conserve needed make up air in lab buildings (using educational posters and stickers). We will also work with researchers to find out if any teaching or research CAV hoods are no longer needed due to changing research requirements. If that is the case, we will offer a very simple and user friendly program as well as incentive to retire unused CAV hoods, without any compromises to safety.
Long Term Strategy:
Our goal is to create funding opportunities to replace all 350 CAV fume hoods overtime with high performance energy efficient VAV hoods. This is a major undertaking with an extremely high energy conservation opportunity with high upfront investment. While funding opportunities are being reviewed, it makes very good common sense to partner with campus EH&S as well as lab managers and researchers to decide which hoods are connected (exhausting costly conditioned air 24x7) but are not in use. Retire these idle hoods as prerequisite to our long term investment for hoods upgrade.

Roads to the Unconscious: A Manual For Understanding Road Drawings
Roads to the Unconscious is a book not only for art therapists, psychologists, social workers, counselors and mental health professionals but for all individuals eager to use the image-making process for self-discovery and personal growth.
The author explains how road drawings are capable of eliciting impromptu imagery that represents the person's origins, the history of his or her life process, experiences to date and intent for the future - even from a single drawing. In addition, the periodic upgrade and reparation of the road can serve as a metaphor for the person's capacity for change and reparation.
Based on psychodynamic principles, the focus is on insight gained through the image-making process. The road drawing technique permits access to inner alleys of the unconscious whereupon the person can familiarize and reintegrate these severed and unfamiliar pathways. This book provides an overview of the theoretical principles and rationale for the road drawing technique, as well as simple directions for administering the task. The author includes illustrations that demonstrate how the technique can be used to elicit graphic representation of the person's "road of life" and serve as a metaphor for the person's capacity for change and restoration.

The Cinema for Peace Foundation in Berlin, Germany honored Greek documentary "Recycling Medea: Not an Opera Ballet Film" by Asteris Kutulas with the Most Valuable Documentary for 2014 award. The documentary impressed the international jury, who described it as "unconventional" and "highly artistic."
The ceremony was attended by several world-famous artists and actors such as Catherine Deneuve, Uma Thurman, Ennio Morricone, Ornella Muti, Sir Christopher Lee and the band Pussy Riot.
Asteris Kutulas' film, which was screened three weeks ago in the historical cinema Babylon in Berlin, will also be presented on February 23 in Cologne and on March 19 in Luxembourg.
"Recycling Medea" is a balletic narration of the famous Euripides' play where a mother murders her two children, choreographed by Renato Zanella, with music by Mikis Theodorakis. The director used the antique Greek tragedy as a metaphor for Greece's and Europe's current tragedy — Medea kills her own children, while modern society has ruined the life and future of the younger generation.
Commenting on his film, Kutulas has said,"Despite being recycled through myriads of versions since antiquity, this subject has lost none of its everyday and brutal topicality."
He also stated that he wanted to bring out the desperation of a woman as well as today's youth who are fighting against their own society.

How to choose the right solvent for cleaning scientific instrumentation
Measuring instruments are typically built to measure a wide range of samples. However, the measuring cell, hoses, and connections must be cleaned after measurement to keep the device in good working condition and make sure the measurement on the next sample delivers correct results.
Choosing the most suitable solvent to clean the measuring cell(s) of a scientific instrument depends on the sample or chemical which needs to be removed from the device. The aim of a cleaning procedure is to leave the measuring device ready to use for the next measurement or experiment.
If the measuring device has a sample changer, the cleaning program can be predefined to automatically use specific solvent combinations and drying times.
Before using a solvent for the cleaning task you need to consider:
 - The type of sample which needs to be removed from the measuring cell
 - Which type of solvent could be used
 - Which order to use the solvents in
Which type of sample needs to be removed from the measuring cell?
Samples have different properties and these properties determine the solubility of the sample in a solvent. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on:
 - physical and chemical properties of the solute
 - physical and chemical properties of the solvent
 - temperature
 - pressure
 - pH of the solvent-solute solution[1]
Deciding which solvent is required to rinse out the sample follows the maxim: "Similia similibus solvuntur" (like dissolves like).
Types of solvent for cleaning scientific instrumentation
Solvents are chemicals. They can be used in their pure form or as mixtures consisting of different solvents. A solvent or cleaning agent can also simply be water mixed with some detergent.
Solvents can be classified into several categories according to their chemical structure and physical behavior[2].
To understand their behavior as cleaning agents, it is important to understand that solvents are either polar or non-polar.
What is a polar solvent?
A polar solvent is a solvent with a high polarity. The polarity of a substance affects its solubility. To determine a substance's polarity you can measure the dielectric constant. The higher the dielectric constant, the higher the polarity of the substance. Water is a polar solvent, which is indicated by its high dielectric constant of 88 (at 0 °C)[3]. Polar solvents are most suitable for dissolving polar samples.
Common polar solvents:
What is a non-polar solvent?
Solvents with a dielectric constant of less than 15 are generally considered to be non-polar[4][5]. Non-polar solvents are most suitable for dissolving non-polar samples.
Common non-polar solvents:
What is a solvent mixture?
Solvent mixtures can have several attributes. They can be polar and non-polar as well at the same time. This ambivalence often helps to dissolve tricky samples easily.[6]
A good example is the ternary mixture used for cleaning in-service oils. Dissolving in-service oils is tricky because the sample itself is a combination of soot, oil, and impurities such as water. Therefore, the solvent requires something to dissolve the oil, something to take out the water, and something so clean the soot. Further, the solvent needs a boiling point higher than 100 °C and lower than 200 °C.
 - To clean the soot > diesel
 - To clean the water > toluene (because toluene and water together make a perfect azeotrope)
 - To clean the oil > also toluene
 - To achieve the boiling point > n-butanol.
 - The perfect ratio is: toluene: diesel: n-butanol = 1:1:1
Read more about the application of this ternary mixture.
Using the right solvents in the right order
Often it is necessary to use more than one solvent, e.g. the first solvent dissolves the sample in the measuring cell and allows it to be removed easily. The second solvent rinses the first solvent out of the cell and facilitates quick drying.
Properties of the first solvent
The first solvent should dissolve the samples completely. This means that the solubility of the sample in the first solvent has to be very high. For example, samples that contain mainly alcohol can be dissolved in water or in more alcohol such as ethanol. Samples that contain fats, such as creams, can easily be dissolved in the solvent naphtha or white spirit. The easiest way to identify the type of solvent that is suitable for the sample to be diluted in is to perform a test as follows:
 1. Take a small amount of sample and put it into a glass vial
 2. Pour the solvent onto it
 3. Observe whether the solvent dissolves the sample within an acceptable period of time.
If the sample aggregates in the solvent, then the solvent is unsuitable.
If the sample starts to dissolve and homogenize in the solvent, then this was a good choice for the sample.
Properties of the second solvent
For the second solvent, it is recommended to choose a solvent that helps to reduce the drying time of the measuring device. Usually this type of solvent has a very low boiling point such as acetone or ethanol. It is also advised to choose a solvent that is not harmful and widely available.
In rare cases it is recommended to use a third solvent as well. In this case, the third solvent should also enhance the cleaning function.
The following table gives an overview about combinations of solvents and samples.
Table 1: Overview of samples and suitable solvents
Suitable solvent for cleaning
Solvent for drying
Alcohols, such as liqueurs and wines, or beer
Soluble in water and/or in ethanol
Ethanol or acetone
The sample has polar properties and is soluble in a typically polar solvent.
Honey and sugary solutions, maple syrup
Soluble in warm water
Ethanol, due to the fact that acetone is typically not allowed in food industry
Sugar dissolves in water better than in alcohol, and if heat is applied as well, then the process can be enhanced.
Waxes of biological or artificial origin
Soluble in non-polar organic solvent such as toluene, xylene, or in a warmed oil (the oil can be a low-viscosity base oil)
Cleaners naphta with a low boiling point or isopropyl alcohol
Waxes are insoluble in water and usually solid; therefore heat is needed to melt them and to properly dilute them in a solvent.
Polymers (for plastics)
Soluble in acids or organic solvent. Highly recommended as the second solvent.
Ethanol only! Ethanol quenches the organic solvent.
Polymer solutions typically aggregate in water; therefore it is necessary to follow the manufacturer's recommendations according to these samples.
Soluble in acetone and ethanol
The sample and solvent have very similar polarity. This behavior is utilized to produce eau de colognes.
Oily flavors
Soluble in acetone and white spirit
Lipophilic samples need non-polar solvents; otherwise they would form suspensions or two-phase systems.
In-service engine oils
Ternary mixture of toluene, diesel, and n-butanol (1:1:1)
Cleaner's naphtha or ethanol
The sample and the sample matrix need special cleaning conditions. Soot is cleaned out with diesel, toluene takes the oil, and the alcohol is responsible for the optimal boiling point
Crude oils
Toluene and/or xylene, either pure or as a mixture
Some cleaner's naphtha
Toluene and xylene are aromatic solvents with a high boiling point and optimal to clean sticky crude oil.
Organic resin
DMSO dissolves many organic compounds easily but it has a boiling point higher than 150 °C. Therefore, ethanol as the second solvent will help to reduce the drying time
Milk or dairy products
Water and some enzymes. Fat-dissolving enzyme solution such as tetrazyme.
Milk or dairy products are water-fat emulsions and they have a natural origin. Therefore, an enzymatic solution is necessary to remove the lipids from the system and ethanol to dry it and carry out a disinfection.
Liquid soap
Water and/or acetone. Water as a pure solvent or as a mixture with the acetone.
Water dissolves liquid soap but also leads to foam. Therefore, the acetone is needed to break the foam and to improve the water's washing ability.

R Question
Difference between paste() and paste0()
Being new to R, can someone please explain the difference between paste() and paste0(), what I had understood from some post is that
paste0("a", "b") === paste("a", "b", sep="")
Even I tried something like this
a <- c("a","b","c")
b <- c("y","w","q")
paste(a,b,sep = "_")
**output**
"a_y" "b_w" "c_q"
using paste0()
a <- c("a","b","c")
b <- c("y","w","q")
paste0(a,b,sep = "_")
**output**
"ay_" "bw_" "cq_"
Is it just that paste() uses separator between elements and paste0() uses separator after the elements?
Answer
As explained here
paste has 3 arguments.
paste (..., sep = " ", collapse = NULL) The ... is the stuff you want to paste together and sep and collapse are the guys to get it done. There are three basic things I paste together:
 - A bunch of individual character strings.
 - 2 or more strings pasted element for element.
 - One string smushed together.
Here's an example of each, though not with the correct arguments
paste("A", 1, "%") #A bunch of individual character strings.
paste(1:4, letters[1:4]) #2 or more strings pasted element for element.
paste(1:10) #One string smushed together. Here's the sep/collapse rule for each:
 - A bunch of individual character strings – You want sep
 - 2 or more strings pasted element for element. – You want sep
 - One string smushed together.- Smushin requires collapse
paste0 is short for: paste(x, sep="") So it allows us to be lazier and more efficient.
paste0("a", "b") == paste("a", "b", sep="") ## 1 TRUE

Arts for Transit Collaborative
New York City Architectural Artifacts from the Collection of the Brooklyn Museum, 2004
Terra cotta artifacts and glass mosaic on mezzanine and stairway walls
The Brooklyn Museum has long served as a repository for ornamental architectural forms salvaged from significant buildings that were being demolished. Seventy-eight of these artifacts are installed in the Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum subway station, enriching the environment and creating an introduction to the museum above. Among these are plaques, lunettes, keystones, and other decorative elements that represent the city's architectural heritage. The project is a successful example of institutional collaboration. The Brooklyn Museum, working with MTA Arts for Transit and Vel Riberto Consulting, selected the artifacts and donated them to the project. New mosaic designs were added, to frame the objects and to make connections with the architecture of the station.

, the app can receive raw push notifications from WNS in real time and show them on the lock screen as either a badge update or a notification. When a raw push notification is delivered to a lock screen app, the app can run code in response to the notification. WNS use can be more power efficient than using network triggers available to Windows Store apps written in C++/XAML and apps using the .NET Framework 4.5 in C#, VB.NET, or managed C++ on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
WNS offers a number of benefits:
 - WNS offers the most power-efficient mechanism for delivering real-time notifications to lock screen apps.
 - WNS simplifies the developer model for your app. In most scenarios, developers do not have to write any background tasks, because the operating system renders the tiles or toast. In a small subset of scenarios, if your app must run a background task, it needs to register the raw push notification and the background task to run.
 - No persistent socket connection needs to be maintained between the client app and a remote server because Windows maintains the connection to WNS. As a result, the overhead of sending keep-alive messages is not required.
 - A single WNS connection between the client and the cloud service can support all apps on the local computer, which translates to potential battery life efficiency for the client.
 - The operational cost may be reduced for the service on the server side because there is no need to maintain many parked TCP socket connections between the client and the remote service.
 - Your app does not have to reside in memory at all times, because it can be terminated and still have WNS update the tile, raise a toast, or trigger a background task to run upon receipt of an incoming raw push notification.
 - Background tasks that use raw push notifications can be written in JavaScript, C++/XAML, and using the .NET Framework 4.5 in C#, VB.NET, or managed C++ on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
The network trigger feature using ControlChannelTrigger is not available in JavaScript.
Note ControlChannelTrigger is not supported on Windows Phone
Background networking that uses network triggers can only be written in C++/XAML, and using the .NET Framework 4.5 in C#, VB.NET, or managed C++ on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. For more information, see How to stay connected in the background.
WNS also has some limitations that may affect some apps. WNS is not available to a local computer that is connected to a private home or work network that blocks public Internet access. WNS can also be blocked by some network firewalls even when Internet access is available. There are some other drawbacks using WNS that may need to be considered. Specifically, notifications are delivered on a best-effort basis and there is no guarantee of delivery. The maximum size of the payload in a raw push notification is 5 kilobytes.
Given the advantages, we recommend that developers who build VoIP, IM, or email apps consider using WNS notifications for lock screen apps, but consider alternatives if they do not meet your requirements.
There is no need to build a lock screen app if you simply want to have a live tile update or raise a toast using WNS. A lock screen app is required while using WNS only when the app requires a raw push notification to trigger a background task to run.
Using time triggers or system event triggers in Windows Runtime apps
Lock screen apps can be configured to run code periodically using a time trigger with a minimum interval of 15 minutes. One example is needing to poll for new e-mail messages, possibly when an app is connected to a POP3 or IMAP email server.
Lock screen apps can also use a system event trigger to run code when the user logs on to the local computer (system trigger for session start). One example is signing in the user in to an instant message service when they start a user session, so instant messages can be received.
In this topic, we focus on building lock screen apps using raw push notifications with WNS or the network trigger feature. For more information on using a timer, see How to run a background task on a timer. For more information on background tasks, see Supporting your app with background tasks.
Background task and sandboxing
The lifetime of a background task is determined by the function that implements the background task. To ensure that background tasks do not adversely affect battery life, Windows enforces a limit in terms of CPU and network I/O resources an app can use during background tasks. Each app gets a quota of these resources on a periodic basis, and exhausting this quota suspends your app's background task. An app must be resilient to being suspended due to sandboxing.
For more information, see Supporting your app with background tasks.

Apache Commons logo Apache Commons Exec
Building the command line
You have two ways to create the command line to be executed
 - parsing the entire command line string
 - building the command line incrementally
General Considerations
No matter which approach you are using commons-exec does change your command line arguments in the following two cases
 - when the executable contains forward or backward slashes
 - when a command line argument contains an unquoted string
The following executable arguments
will be translated under Windows to
Parsing the entire command line string
Parsing the command line string is easy to use but you might run into problems when tackling complex scenarios. Therefore this functionality was deprecated in the Ant Exec task.
Let's have a look at few examples you would like to stick to parsing entire command line strings
Spaces in command line arguments
Here we would like to invoke a batch file which contains spaces in the path
cmd.exe /C c:\was51\Web Sphere\AppServer\bin\versionInfo.bat
Due to the space in the file name we have to quote the file name either with single or double quotes otherwise it falls apart into two command line arguments c:\was51\Web and Sphere\AppServer\bin\versionInfo.bat.
String line = "cmd.exe /C 'c:\\was51\\Web Sphere\\AppServer\\bin\\versionInfo.bat'";
Building the Command Line Incrementally
This is the recommended approach and caters also for pre-quoted command line argument.
A simple example
Now we would like to build the following command line
runMemorySud.cmd 10 30 -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2
using the following code snippet
CommandLine cmdl = new CommandLine("runMemorySud.cmd");
A complex example
Now let's have a look at the following command line found somewhere in the internet
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install.exe /l ""\Documents and Settings\myusername\Local Settings\Temp\netfx.log"" /q"
The following code snippet builds the command line using pre-quoted arguments and variable expansion
File file = new File("/Documents and Settings/myusername/Local Settings/Temp/netfx.log");
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put("FILE", file);
cmdl = new CommandLine("dotnetfx.exe");
cmdl.addArgument("/q:a", false);
cmdl.addArgument("/c:\"install.exe /l \"\"${FILE}\"\" /q\"", false);
For the Desperate
When crafting a command line it would be really helpful to see what happens to your command line arguments. The following scripts can be invoked to print your command line arguments for Unix
while [ $# -gt 0 ]
 echo "$1"
and for Windows
IF [%1]==[] GOTO Continue
 _USER_ "%1"

If baseball were played on Mars, the balls would fly much farther than they do on Earth. One could then speculate that the number of home runs hit would be much greater on Mars. Mike expects that he would hit 50% more home runs if he were playing baseball on Mars. If he hit 76 homers on Earth, how many home runs does he expect he would hit on Mars?
If Mike thinks he will hit 50% more, this means he will hit the same number of homers he hit on Earth (76) plus half (50%) of that same number. The total number could be represented as one and a half of 76 or 150% of 76.
You can find what number is half of 76 and then add this to 76 to find Mike's predicted number of home runs on Mars.

Corundum brick's compressive strength at room temperature, flexural strength at room temperature, and high-temperature flexural strength at 1400°C. For the compressive strength at room temperature, the T100 of corundum bricks made of tabular corundum as the aggregate is as high as 147MPa, which is twice the T0 of the fused white corundum bricks made of fused white corundum. Similarly, the flexural strength of plate corundum bricks at room temperature and high temperature is also significantly higher. The strength of bricks made entirely of fused white corundum is not only related to the corundum aggregate itself but also related to the ceramic bond formed after the brick is fired. The Main Components of Different Corundum Bricks are the following.
The Physical and Chemical Properties and Advantages of Corundum Bricks
The alumina content of corundum brick is more than 90%, and it is a refractory product with corundum as the main crystal phase. High compressive strength at room temperature, up to 340MPa. High load softening start temperature, greater than 1700°C. Very good chemical stability, strong resistance to acidic or alkaline slag, metal, and glass liquid. Thermal shock stability is related to its organizational structure. Dense products have good corrosion resistance but poor thermal shock stability.
Let's summarize the advantages of corundum bricks:
- It has good sintering activity and can improve the density of corundum bricks.
- Corundum bricks of tabular corundum have high bulk density and low apparent porosity.
- It has high normal temperature compressive strength, normal temperature flexural strength, and high-temperature flexural strength.
- The best wear resistance.
- The corrosion resistance and permeability of coal gasifier slag and oil residue are better than pure fused white corundum bricks.
- As an aggregate, it can improve the thermal shock stability of corundum bricks.
The Main Components of Different Corundum Bricks
Because there are many refractory materials on the market, different corundum bricks are widely used. Because of its good use effect, it is used in a variety of high-temperature industrial furnaces. In fact, corundum brick is a refractory material with alumina content greater than 90%, and often containing trace impurity elements Cr, Ti, Fe, and V. Corundum bricks on the market can also be divided into the following concentrated types according to the composition.
- Brown corundum bricks are mainly made of bauxite and coke (anthracite). The main chemical composition is aluminum oxide, titanium oxide ring contains a small amount of silicon oxide and iron oxide. The microhardness is HV1800-2200, and the toughness is higher than SIC. Abrasive tools made of brown corundum are suitable for grinding metals with high tensile strength, such as various general steels, malleable cast iron, hard bronze, etc.; they can also be used to make brown corundum bricks, which are a kind of advanced refractory materials.
- High-alumina corundum bricks are made of high-quality bauxite as the main raw material, and sub-white corundum bricks are produced on the basis of high-quality brown corundum bricks. Its chemical composition and physical properties are similar to those of white corundum. Sub white corundum is produced on the basis of high-quality brown corundum. Because its chemical composition and physical properties are similar to white corundum, it is called sub-white corundum. Bulk density≥3.8g/cm2, refractoriness≥1850℃. The product has the hardness of white corundum bricks and the toughness of brown corundum bricks. It is an ideal high-grade refractory material and abrasive material.
- White corundum bricks are made by high-temperature smelting with alumina powder as raw material. It is white, slightly higher in hardness than brown corundum brick, and slightly lower in toughness. Made into abrasive tools suitable for the grinding of high carbon steel, high-speed steel, and quenched steel. White corundum can also be used for grinding and polishing materials, as well as precision casting sand, spraying materials, chemical catalysts, special ceramics, and advanced refractory materials.
- Zirconium corundum bricks are made by smelting alumina and zirconia as raw materials in an electric arc furnace at a high temperature above 2000°C. Tough texture, dense structure, and high strength. The main mineral phase of zirconium corundum is a eutectic formed by a-alumina and alumina-zirconia. In order to ensure the quality of zirconium corundum, in addition to a reasonable selection of parameters and technology, cooling technology and processing technology. Choosing appropriate additives to reduce the silicon oxide content in the zirconium corundum bricks, making the alumina and zirconia eutectic, and having a uniform structure is also the key to the production of zirconium corundum bricks.
Classification of Corundum Bricks
Different Corundum Bricks are divided into semi-recombined or directly combined corundum bricks and dense corundum bricks. Semi-recombined or directly combined corundum bricks are made from fused corundum (or sintered corundum) and sintered alumina fine powder. Aluminum sulfate or paper pulp waste liquid is the binding agent. After high-pressure forming, it is a corundum refractory product sintered at a high temperature of 1750~1800°C. Dense corundum bricks are made of light-burned alumina fine powder. Carboxymethyl cellulose or dextrin is the binding agent. It is a corundum refractory product made by artificial granulation, press molding, and sintering at a high temperature of 1750~1800°C. It has the characteristics of high Al2O3 content, extremely low apparent porosity, high strength, corrosion resistance, and strong erosion resistance. It is suitable for the lining of synthetic ammonia converter.
Different Corundum Bricks are also classified into light corundum bricks and heavy corundum bricks according to their bulk density. Corundum bricks with different bulk densities have different performances and require different physical and chemical indicators.
So, what is the chemical composition of fused cast zirconia corundum bricks?
Fused zirconium corundum brick is also called fused zirconium corundum, commonly known as white iron brick. An electrofusion cast refractory material mainly composed of oblique zircon and corundum. A mixture of zircon (or industrial zirconia) and alumina as the main raw materials are made by melting, casting, and annealing in an electric arc furnace. Its chemical composition is: Zr0230%~50%, Al20340%~50%, Si0210%~17%. The mineral composition is mainly corundum oblique zircon eutectic, with a small amount of oblique zircon, corundum, and glass phase. The bulk density is 3.25～3.70g/cm3, the apparent porosity is 0.5%～7%, the compressive strength is 200～500MPa, and the load softening point is 1720～1760℃. Mainly used in glass kilns.
Application Industries of Different Corundum Bricks
Finally, I would like to summarize which industries corundum bricks are suitable for. Corundum bricks have excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high-temperature strength, load softening temperature, creep, and other thermodynamic properties. It is widely used as a lining material for cracking, reforming furnaces, metallurgical industries, slag gasifiers, coal gasifiers, carbon black reactors, pulp waste liquid gasifiers, and other industrial furnaces in petrochemical and fertilizer industries.

Which breeds of dogs are the most stubborn?
Most dogs are stubborn for the same reasons as humans. Some of them are simply born stubborn and masterful, some are born leaders and have corresponding temper, and some simply do not know how to behave. However with patience and with proper training, even the most stubborn dog can become indispensable friend and protector.
Which breeds of dogs are the most stubborn?
Stubborn rocks
Some breeds are harder to train than others. Some of these breeds can grow aggressive if not trained properly. Among the small breeds are dachshunds, chihuahua, pug and dwarf pincher – considered one of the most stubborn. All kinds Terriers, from Parson to Bull Terriers, have a well-known stubborn character. Among larger breeds, relatively rebellious working and protective breeds such as boarders Collie, Rottweiler, Doberman, Newfoundland and Golden Retriever.
Perhaps this is not stubbornness
Your dog may not be stubborn, sometimes she may just feel that she has no good reason to do what you mean ask for. Ask yourself what is the benefit for the dog to commit any action, and give her something that she can appreciate. For example, all terriers were bred for hunting, not for entertainment. So if you want to play with him just give him a reason to return the ball to you.
Some dogs were bred to perform certain tasks. without human intervention and therefore need little praise from the owner. For example, hunting or herding dogs could not to do their job if they expected attention from people. In this the group, in addition to terriers, also gets the majority of huskies and spaniels. Always consider for what purpose your breed.
There are other reasons.
Some dogs, such as shepherds, are especially sensitive to the emotions of his master. Your mood can greatly affect your pet's behavior and make learning difficult. More he upsets you, the more he upsets himself. Besides, often dominant behavior in some dogs can be caused external factors, such as annoying behavior of others. Or a dog as it grows older can just sometimes marry framework "as children do.

The LED U-Turn spotlight family by Belux invites playful interaction with light. The spotlight can easily be adjusted by hand using the magnetic ball joint to a maximum action radius and even completely rotated. Together with its variable lighting angle, U-Turn is a flexible lighting tool with high fun factor.
The central elements of the U-Turn clip-on lamp are the ball joint, which is directly connected to a large clip, and the large, round light head. In its middle there is a magnetic recess which is placed on top of a metal sphere. This mechanism allows playful, easy moving of the light head and enables a large action radius. As the recess in the light head is magnetic on both sides, you can separate it from the ball, turn it and put it back on in a single movement. Thus you can have direct or indirect LED light with U-Turn. Moreover it is possible to change the lighting angle with a simple turn – similar to the zoom function on a camera. The clip makes it possible to clip the lamp onto numerous different objects – heaters through to book shelves – offering maximum flexibility.
The Belux U-Turn is available in multiple varieties as a table, floor or clip-on light in black or grey.

New studies have found that people have been having sex much less frequently during lockdown, and the reason could be an increase in stress and anxiety.
A survey of 868 British adults from Anglia Ruskin University and Ulster University found that only 39.9% had taken part in any form of sexual activity in the previous seven days in lockdown.
And a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found similar patterns in the UK with 60 per cent not engaging in regular sexual activity during the lockdown.
Emerging research suggests stress and anxiety have played a major part.
The Body Shop commissioned a survey which found just 11% of Brits surveyed have sex before sleeping, this may be due to 38% of the UK being kept up at night due to anxiety.
The Body Shop survey also revealed that on average Brits are losing one hour of sleep a night compared to before the lockdown, the equivalent of 53.5 million hours a night across the nation.
The research also shows that over a quarter of the UK (26%) are going to bed at 12am or later, whereas three months ago the majority (22%) were going to bed between 10.01-11 pm, which would explain why the UK is feeling tired.
Mumsnet users have reported the lockdown having an impact on their libido. One said: "I have zero interest in lockdown. He is driving me up the wall all day and I have no personal space. Its the last thing I want."
Others mentioned how habits had changed since the lockdown. One said: "Normally about twice a week. Since lockdown? Once in eight weeks."
Another user highlighted how the low moods caused from the lockdown is the reason, "I don't think we've had sex since lockdown, I've been quite depressed and not in the mood at all. We've talked about it and he understands."
According to the NHS, loss of libido, can be linked to stress and tiredness as well as relationship issues.

Most Common Types of Soil Found in Carpet
Our primary function as a cleaning service is identifying and removing soils in an effective and efficient manner. The more we know about dirt/soil the more successfully we can deal with it. Soil is a destructive force. Unless it is removed promptly, soil will discolor and eventually destroy any carpet.
As previously stated, the key job of carpet cleaning is to remove soil from carpet. However, there are several different types of soils and contaminants found in carpets. Knowing what type of soil is in the carpet is frequently the first step in effectively removing it.
As much as 80% of these soils are actually deposited onto carpets from the shoe bottoms of people walking into facilities, according to Mark Baxter, a carpet cleaning expert and product manager for U.S. Products…
U.S. Products' Carpet Cleaning Advisory found the top 10 types of soils found in carpets:
1. Sand, clay, and other "gritty" materials
2. Natural fibers such as lint from clothing
3. Gum
4. Petroleum, oil, and grease
5. Human hair and skin
6. Dust mites, fleas, and other insects
7. Organic soils and materials (minerals and soils from landscaping areas, for example)
8. Airborne carbon and automotive exhaust
9. Spilled food or beverages
10. So-called "miscellaneous unknowns"

I saw this lesson on Artsonia in several variations.
- drawing sheet A4 size
- white pencil or silver gel pen
- black paper for background
Start this the lesson with a class discussion about witches. How can you recognize a witch? What things belong to a witch? What can you say about the clothing of a witch?
Students draw with pencil the lower half of the body of a witch: skirt and legs. Around this body they draw things that belong to witches. Draw a horizon line at about 1/3 part from the bottom. The drawing should be coloured with markers. Colour the background with markers or chalk pastel. The latter is obviously faster than colouring the background with markers.
Paste the drawing on a black background and decorate the rim with theme-related little drawings. Use a white pencil or a silver gel pen.
In the debriefing should be clear that you only need a half drawing to recognize a witch: Which witch is this?
