Apparel manufacturers inspect the fabric stock upon arrival, so that any fabric irregularities are caught early in the production process. Textile producers also generally inspect fabrics before sending them to manufacturers.
General Inspection Procedures
- Fabric inspection is done in suitable and safe environment with enough ventilation and proper lighting.
- Fabric passing through the frame must be between 45-60 degree angles to inspector and must be done on appropriate Cool White light 2 F96 fluorescent bulbs above viewing area. Back light can be used as and when needed.
- Fabric speed on inspection machine must not be more than 15 yards per minute.
- All fabric inspection must be done when 80% of good or lot is received.
- Standard approved bulk dye lot standards for all approved lots must be available prior to inspection.
- Approved standard of bulk dye lot must be available before starting inspection for assessing colour, hand, weight, construction, finish and visual appearance.
- Shade continuity within a roll by checking shade variation between centre and selvage and the beginning, middle and end of each roll must be evaluated and documented.
- Textiles like knits must be evaluated for weight against standard approved weight.
- Fabric width must be checked from selvage to selvage against standard.
- All defects must be flagged during inspection
- The length of each roll inspected must be compared to length as mentioned on supplier ticketed tag and any deviation must be documented and reported to mill for additional replacement to avoid shortage.
- If yard dyed or printed fabrics are being inspected the repeat measurement must be done from beginning, middle and end of selected rolls.
Why is fabric inspection important?
Fabric Inspection is an important aspect followed prior to garment manufacturing to avoid rejects due to fabric quality and facing with unexpected loss in manufacturing. Fabric inspection is done for fault/defect rate, fabric construction, fabric weight, shrinkage, end to end or edge to edge shading, colour, hand feel, length/width, print defect and appearance. Fabric inspection ensures to minimize the rejection of cut panels or rejected garments due to fabric faults. Cutting inspected and approved fabric ensures not only finished garment quality but also reduce rejects, improves efficiency and timely deliveries.

The Wall Street Journal:
When you're strolling in your home city, and you see someone with pull out a map, you can be pretty sure you're looking at a tourist. But a new study suggests that a map-like spatial orientation is layered on top of people's understanding of even highly familiar places. In other words, you may not have a map stashed in a fanny pack, but you can't escape the way of looking at the world that maps tutor us in. From a new study in Psychological Science:
"We examined how a highly familiar environmental space—one's city of residence—is represented in memory. Twenty-six participants faced a photo-realistic virtual model of their hometown and completed a task in which they pointed to familiar target locations from various orientations. Each participant's performance was most accurate when he or she was facing north, and errors increased as participants' deviation from a northfacing orientation increased…. Although participants recognized familiar local views in their initial locations, their strategy for pointing relied on a single, north-oriented reference frame that was likely acquired from maps rather than experience from daily exploration. Even though participants had spent significantly more time navigating the city than looking at maps, their pointing behavior seemed to rely on a north-oriented mental map."

other)
Bulk update of this object with another one. It's used to merge a smaller and younger $other object into the current one. If this file is a Z file, then we normally do not merge in objects of type delete; this can be overridden by setting keep_delete_objects_forever. But if we encounter an object of type delete we delete the corresponding new object if we have it.
If there is nothing to be merged, nothing is done.
Hashref denoting when this recentfile has been merged into some other at which epoch.
$hashref = $obj->meta_data
Returns the hashref of metadata that the server has to add to the recentfile.
$success = $obj->mirror ( %options )
Mirrors the files in this recentfile as reported by recent_events. Options named after, before, max are passed through to the recent_events call. The boolean option piecemeal, if true, causes mirror to only rsync max_files_per_connection and keep track of the rsynced files so that future calls will rsync different files until all files are brought to sync.
$success = $obj->mirror_path ( $arrref | $path )
If the argument is a scalar it is treated as a path. The remote path is mirrored into the local copy. $path is the path found in the recentfile, i.e. it is relative to the root directory of the mirror.
If the argument is an array reference then all elements are treated as a path below the current tree and all are rsynced with a single command (and a single connection).
$path = $obj->naive_path_normalize ($path)
Takes an absolute unix style path as argument and canonicalizes it to a shorter path if possible, removing things like double slashes or /./ and removes references to../ directories to get a shorter unambiguos path. This is used to make the code easier that determines if a file passed to upgrade() is indeed below our localroot.
$ret = $obj->read_recent_1 ( $data )
Delegate of recent_events() on protocol 1
$array_ref = $obj->recent_events ( %options )
Note: the code relies on the resource being written atomically. We cannot lock because we may have no write access. If the caller has write access (eg. aggregate() or update()), it has to care for any necessary locking and it MUST write atomically.
If $options{after} is specified, only file events after this timestamp are returned.
If $options{before} is specified, only file events before this timestamp are returned.
If $options{max} is specified only a maximum of this many most recent events is returned.
If $options{'skip-deletes'} is specified, no files-to-be-deleted will be returned.
If $options{contains} is specified the value must be a hash reference containing a query. The query may contain the keys epoch, path, and type. Each represents a condition that must be met. If there is more than one such key, the conditions are ANDed.
If $options{info} is specified, it must be a hashref. This hashref will be filled with metadata about the unfiltered recent_events of this object, in key first there is the first item, in key last is the last.
$ret = $obj->rfilename
Just the basename of our recentfile, composed from filenameroot, a dash, interval, and serializer_suffix. E.g. RECENT-6h.yaml
$str = $self->remote_dir
The directory we are mirroring from.
$str = $obj->remoteroot
(void) $obj->remoteroot ( $set )
Get/Set the composed prefix needed when rsyncing from a remote module. If remote_host, remote_module, and remote_dir are set, it is composed from these.
(void) $obj->split_rfilename ( $recentfilename )
Inverse method to rfilename. $recentfilename is a plain filename of the pattern
This filename is split into its parts and the parts are fed to the object itself.
my $rfile = $obj->rfile
Returns the full path of the recentfile
$rsync_obj = $obj->rsync
The File::Rsync object that this object uses for communicating with an upstream server.
(void) $obj->register_rsync_error(_USER_)
(void) $obj->un_register_rsync_error()
Register_rsync_error is called whenever the File::Rsync object fails on an exec (say, connection doesn't succeed). It issues a warning and sleeps for an increasing amount of time. Un_register_rsync_error resets the error count. See also accessor max_rsync_errors.
$clone = $obj->_sparse_clone
Clones just as much from itself that it does not hurt. Experimental method.
Note: what fits better: sparse or shallow? Other suggestions?
$boolean = OBJ->ttl_reached ()
(void) $obj->unlock()
Unlocking is implemented with an rmdir on a locking directory (.lock appended to $rfile).
Sets this recentfile in the state of not'seeded'.
$ret = $obj->update ($path, $type)
$ret = $obj->update ($path, "new", $dirty_epoch)
$ret = $obj->update ()
Enter one file into the local recentfile. $path is the (usually absolute) path. If the path is outside our tree, then it is ignored.
$type is one of new or delete.
Events of type new may set $dirty_epoch. $dirty_epoch is normally not used and the epoch is calculated by the update() routine itself based on current time. But if there is the demand to insert a not-so-current file into the dataset, then the caller sets $dirty_epoch. This causes the epoch of the registered event to become $dirty_epoch or -- if the exact value given is already taken -- a tiny bit more. As compensation the dirtymark of the whole dataset is set to now or the current epoch, whichever is higher. Note: setting the dirty_epoch to the future is prohibited as it's very unlikely to be intended: it definitely might wreak havoc with the index files.
The new file event is unshifted (or, if dirty_epoch is set, inserted at the place it belongs to, according to the rule to have a sequence of strictly decreasing timestamps) to the array of recent_events and the array is shortened to the length of the timespan allowed. This is usually the timespan specified by the interval of this recentfile but as long as this recentfile has not been merged to another one, the timespan may grow without bounds.
The third form runs an update without inserting a new file. This may be desired to truncate a recentfile.
Like update but for many files. $batch is an arrayref containing hashrefs with the structure
 path => $path,
 type => $type,
 epoch => $epoch,
Sets this recentfile in the state of'seeded' which means it has to re-evaluate its uptodateness.
Tells if the recentfile is in the state'seeded'.
True if this object has mirrored the complete interval covered by the current recentfile.
$obj->write_recent ($recent_files_arrayref)
Writes a recentfile based on the current reflection of the current state of the tree limited by the current interval.
$obj->write_0 ($recent_files_arrayref)
Delegate of write_recent() on protocol 0
$obj->write_1 ($recent_files_arrayref)
Delegate of write_recent() on protocol 1
The following suffixes are supported and trigger the use of these serializers:
".yaml" => "YAML::Syck"
".json" => "JSON"
".sto" => "Storable"
".dd" => "Data::Dumper"
An interval spec is a primitive way to express time spans. Normally it is composed from an integer and a letter.
As a special case, a string that consists only of the single letter Z, stands for MAX_INT seconds.
The following letters express the specified number of seconds:
s => 1
m => 60
h => 60*60
d => 60*60*24
W => 60*60*24*7
M => 60*60*24*30
Q => 60*60*24*90
Y => 60*60*24*365.25
File::Rsync::Mirror::Recent, File::Rsync::Mirror::Recentfile::Done, File::Rsync::Mirror::Recentfile::FakeBigFloat
Memory hungry: it seems all memory is allocated during the initial rsync where a list of all files is maintained in memory.
You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command.

Is finding a solution for a problem in a given context is an attempt to find a solution for the problem in another context?
For example, it seems some of the hardest problems of real analysis were not solved till their solutions were found in the context of geometry.
Update: I think it makes the question more clear if I provide an example. Let's say I want to prove if x+y=x+z, then y=z, where x,y,z $\in F$, where $F$ is a an algebraic field with operation "+". For example for this problem I can think of context where solution exits and that would be the ring of integers. If 1+2=2+1 then I can show 1=1. Now once this solution is found using this context of integers I can now apply this to the original problem in the context of field.
Now what I was asking was that should such a solution exists in some contexts (context as used in example above) for a problem to be solvable.
I do not know the background science behind this but it would be great if references can be introduced so I can get to know the right terminology.
 - 1
 It may help to rephrase the question a bit. At the moment, it looks almost trivial: if a problem has no solution in any context – i.e., not anywhere – then it has no solution. Presumably, that's not what you're getting at, though; so, it would help if you could expand on what you mean by 'context', and on what it takes to have a solution in a context. Constructivists hold that you can't prove 'There's such-and-such a number', except by producing a number that indeed is such-and-such. (In particular, you can't prove it by contradiction.) Is your question related to that viewpoint in any way? – MarkOxford Nov 12 '17 at 13:47
 - Do you mean : 'Is the non-solvability of a problem in any context in a given domain an indication that its solution, if any, is to be found in a context in a different domain?' E.g., does the non-solvabilty of a problem in theology indicate that its solution - or dissolution - belongs to physics? – Geoffrey Thomas Nov 12 '17 at 14:22
 - _USER_ By a context I mean something like a domain and by domain I mean something that contains similar objects. For example, an algebraic filed is a domain where objects existing in it share certain characteristic. I think Geoffrey Thomas comment is very close to what I want. – Mathnewbie Nov 12 '17 at 19:52
 - _USER_ Yes very close to what I want but a solution to a non-solvable problem of theology could exist in physics or any other domain that has not been yet explored or discovered. Of course the domain must have certain characteristics for example there should exist a one-to-one correspondence between the objects of the two domains. – Mathnewbie Nov 12 '17 at 19:55
 - I suppose I still don't really understand the question. If a problem has no solution in any domain, then where would the solution be? Are there sets that aren't domains, because their elements aren't similar enough to one another? Or is the idea that there are 'meta-domains' or 2nd-order domains? If we find no solution in any of the 1st-order domains of a particular 2nd-order domain, then we might move on to a different 2nd-order domain and look through its 1st-order domains for a solution. – MarkOxford Nov 12 '17 at 21:00
To answer the second part of your question 'it seems that the solution was found and then the question answered' Yes, that is the way it's done most of the time because it is much simpler once you know the outcome. You can simply do Sherlock Holmes eliminate all the impossible until all you're left with is the possible. And that would be a good approach I would say it is a better way than how scientists handle problems today. They did not eliminate the possible they actually attempted to explain reality with the possible even though it is impossible, such as dark energy and basically everything else in science
If a problem is worth having, it can be solved. You seem to be talking about how new techniques have been needed to solve seemingly insoluble problems, like say Fermat's last theorem.
There seem to be mistakes in tense or spelling that make your question confusing, and I am struggling to understand what you are actually asking.
It puts me in mind of how for Newton it was essential to put his theorems and proofs in geometric forms, as geometry was considered most fundamental of maths by the Greeks. Even though, this was difficult and awkward to do and made it harder to see the implications of what he did. Soon after geometry lost it's'supremacy'.
To what extent does the world divide cleanly into distinct contexts? In the end isn't there only one context, our minds, which unify all contexts? We switch language-game to adapt to each
If I correctly understand your mathematical example, then mathematics provides many examples of the following type:
A problem has no solution in the context, where the problem is stated. But the problem has a solution in a broader context.
For example take the problem:
1) Find all solutions of the quadratic equation x^2+1=0.
The problem is stated in the context of real numbers. But the problem has no real solutions. Instead the problem has two solution, namely +i and -i, from the context of complex numbers.
2) Similarly, take the problem: Find all solutions of the quadratic equation x^2-2=0. The problem has no solution in the rational numbers, but it has two solutions in the real numbers.

The automotive real-time clock achieves longer battery life due to 0.25µA low current consumption.
1. Low current consumption of 0.25μA
ABLIC's real-time clock achieves longer battery life by ultra-low current consumption of 0.25µA. The system standby current during engine shutdown can be significantly reduced.
Normally, power supply is supplied from the 12V auxiliary battery to the real-time clock via our LDO, etc. As with real-time clock for General use, it is also possible to connect a coin battery or rechargeable battery directly to the real-time clock and operate it.
This supports backup measuring time when the 12V auxiliary battery is attached or detached.
e.g.*1: DAISHINKU CORP. SMD Tuning Fork Crystal Resonators for Automotive DMX-26S (CL = 6 pF, 32.768 kHz) ) *2: NGK Insulators, Ltd. Chip-type Ceramic Rechargeable Battery EnerCera🄬 ET1210C-H, Constant Voltage(CV) 2.7V charging condition
2. High-accuracy clock correction, minimum resolution of 1ppm
The frequency deviation of a quartz crystal can be corrected over a wide range with high accuracy at a minimum resolution of 1ppm. By combining the real-time clock with a temperature sensor IC, the value of clock correction can be set according to the temperature change, enabling accurate correction if the clock becomes fast or slow.

RTO vs RPO
RTO vs RPO
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) are important elements which guide major decisions when designing the architecture for a system but whats the difference between the two? Let's take a look.
RTO stands for Recovery Time Objective. If something goes wrong with the system, at which point, in the future, do we need to be back up and running again? E.g "< 1 hour".
RPO stands for Recovery Point Objective. If something goes wrong with the system, at which point, back in time, should we restore the system to? E.g. "previous day".

Baker Water Treatment Plant
The Baker Water Treatment Plant is a drinking water treatment plant located in the City of Lake Forest that can treat up to 28.1 million gallons of water per day. The project was a joint regional project by SMWD and four other South Orange County water districts in order to provide increased water supply reliability, improved water quality, and local control of water supplies.
The plant went online in January 2017 and in it's first year produced water that was $150 less expensive than treated water imported from Metropolitan Water District (MWD).
Benefits of Baker Water Treatment Plant
- Increased Water Supply Reliability: The Baker Water Treatment Plant provides increased water supply reliability to South Orange County by increasing local treatment capability from multiple water supply sources, including imported untreated water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) through the Santiago Lateral and local surface water from Irvine Lake.
- Protection in Emergencies: The plant provides a reliable local drinking water supply during emergencies or extended facility shutdowns on the MWD delivery system. It also increases operational flexibility by creating redundancy within the water conveyance system.
- Improved Water Quality: The Baker Water Treatment Plant utilizes advanced micro filtration treatment and ultraviolet disinfection technologies to produce water that meets standards stricter than current regulatory requirements, resulting in a consistent, high quality source of drinking water for South Orange County.
- Sustainable and Efficient: The plant is designed to minimize waste through on-site recycling and treatment of waste streams, resulting in a 99% recovery efficiency.
- Complements the Community: Consistent multi-agency involvement and collaboration throughout the project's planning and design phases have resulted in an architectural designed plant which blends into the surrounding neighborhood.


Hydrogen fuel cells to power homes in the UK through pilot project
July 17, 2014 0 By Stephen Vagus
Hydrogen fuel powered homes
Pilot project aims to examine the viability of fuel cells
A new pilot project is being launched by property managers in the United Kingdom. Your Housing, Rykneld Homes, Housing 21, and South Essex Homes have come together to put hydrogen fuel cells to use in the residential sector. These energy systems have seen a small amount of use as residential energy systems outside of Japan. The pilot project aims to examine the viability of these energy systems and how they could be used to reduce energy consumption.
Interest in fuel cells is beginning to grow
The last time a fuel cell was used in a residential energy project was six years ago, when Black Country Housing made use of a fuel cell system to power property. While this particular initiative had generated some questions as to whether or not fuel cells could be effective residential energy systems, interest in these energy systems died out relatively quickly. With hydrogen fuel cells becoming very popular in the transportation sector, questions regarding their use in other sectors are beginning to circulate once again.
A single fuel cell system may be able to generate enough power for four homes
The pilot project will be managed by Spark, an energy company operating in the United Kingdom. Bluegen will provide the fuel cells needed for the pilot project. According to Spark, installing a fuel cell system in a single home costs approximately $40,000, but the energy system is capable enough to provide electrical power to four other homes. These energy systems also produce significant amounts of heat while generating electricity. This heat can be used for various purposed, such as heating water or simply providing heat for a home.
Japan sets an example in residential fuel cell use
In Japan, hydrogen fuel cells are becoming quite common in the residential space. These energy systems saw a great deal of use in the wake of the Fukushima disaster in 2010, when much of Japan's nuclear energy was shut off due to a major natural disaster. Japan may serve as an example as to how fuel cells can be used to power the residential sector in a more environmentally friendly way.


EARLYBIRD CARDINAL™ produces 4" wide, watermelon red flowers with a pie crust edge and chartreuse throat. It is documented to produce 6 or more fans per season compared to 2-3 fans produced on an average daylily. It also tends to produce more than one flower scape per fan, so the plants quickly grow to form a highly floriferous, robust clump. In the ground, this daylily typically starts to bloom in mid-June which is several weeks earlier than most cultivars.

Neuronal information processing in cortical networks critically depends on the organization of synaptic connectivity. Synaptic connections can form when axons and dendrites come in close proximity of each other. The spatial innervation of neuronal arborizations can be described by their axonal and dendritic density fields. Recently we showed that potential locations of synapses between neurons can be estimated from their overlapping axonal and dendritic density fields. However, deriving density fields from single-slice neuronal reconstructions is hampered by incompleteness because of cut branches. Here, we describe a method for recovering the lost axonal and dendritic mass. This so-called completion method is based on an estimation of the mass inside the slice and an extrapolation to the space outside the slice, assuming axial symmetry in the mass distribution. We validated the method using a set of neurons generated with our NETMORPH simulator. The model-generated neurons were artificially sliced and subsequently recovered by the completion method. Depending on slice thickness and arbor extent, branches that have lost their outside parents (orphan branches) may occur inside the slice. Not connected anymore to the contiguous structure of the sliced neuron, orphan branches result in an underestimation of neurite mass. For 300 ^m thick slices, however, the validation showed a full recovery of dendritic and an almost full recovery of axonal mass. The completion method was applied to three experimental data sets of reconstructed rat cortical L2/3 pyramidal neurons. The results showed that in 300 ^m thick slices intracortical axons lost about 50% and dendrites about 16% of their mass. The completion method can be applied to single-slice reconstructions as long as axial symmetry can be assumed in the mass distribution. This opens up the possibility of using incomplete neuronal reconstructions from open-access data bases to determine population mean mass density fields. © 2014 van Pelt, van Ooyen and Uylings.

Valley-based app aims to teach children about work ethic, money management
Mar 8, 2017, 4:18 AM | Updated: 9:21 am
Spring is right around the corner, which means spring cleaning will be here before parents know it. For parents who are not sure how to get their children energized about chores and cleaning, don't worry: There's an app for that.
The Valley-based company BusyKid promotes work ethic for children by organizing their tasks and teaching them money management, all through the magic of a smartphone.
"Kids should be doing chores so that they'll learn responsibility, accountability — and they'll get out of your house and not come back unless they're visiting," said Gregg Murset, founder and CEO of the BusyKid parent company MyJobChart.com.
Paying kids for their work not only teaches them work ethic, but also money management, Murset said. Having to work and save for a skateboard today might teach a kid that it is dangerous to go into debt for a car down the road.
"[Money management] spills over into spending habits, charitable giving habits, saving for the future habits," Murset said. "All those things are all wrapped into one."
Murset said it is important for children to know the value of hard work when they are young, and should start performing age-appropriate chores as early as their parents think they are ready for it.
"They're going to translate those skills into the real work place," Murset said. "When they get a project at work that's somewhat difficult for them or challenging, they're not going to just throw their hands up and say, 'I'm out.'"
BusyKid allows parents to pay their children directly through the app by setting up a recommended allowance based on the chore and the age of the child, which parents can change at anytime.
Kids are paid weekly and their allowance is divided into different areas to save, share and spend. This allows kids to save their money, while giving them the flexibility to purchase gift cards to different stores or making weekly donations to the charity of their choice — all with parent approval.
Family memberships for BusyKid are $1 per month, but parents can sign up for a 30-day free trial here.

The village was named after H. B. Howard, a hotelier and postmaster. Howards Grove began as two unincorporated communities: Millersville and Howards Grove. They united as one village in 1967. In the year 1846, the first immigrants started to make an appearance and settled in the surrounding wilderness which was named the town of Herman. Sheboygan, which was ten miles from where they had settled, was their main source of supplies. The main occupation of this area since the 1840s has been farming. The farming community had always had a focus on growing oats and wheat but as early as November 29, 1899, the Sheboygan Telegram noted that there had been a change in operation. The focus was changed to dairy farming. Today, farming still rules the community.
Howards Grove is located at(43.829594, -87.823251).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.34 square miles (6.06 km2), of which, 2.31 square miles (5.98 km2) of it is land and 0.03 square miles (0.08 km2) is water.

About 2.1% of families and 2.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including 2.2% of those under age 18 and 12.3% of those age 65 or over.
As of the census of 2010, there were 3,188 people, 1,245 households, and 942 families residing in the village. The population density was 1,380.1 inhabitants per square mile (532.9/km2). There were 1,276 housing units at an average density of 552.4 per square mile (213.3/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 98.3% White, 0.4% African American, 0.1% Native American, 0.6% Asian, 0.2% from other races, and 0.5% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.9% of the population.
There were 1,245 households of which 34.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 66.0% were married couples living together, 5.8% had a female householder with no husband present, 3.9% had a male householder with no wife present, and 24.3% were non-families. 19.8% of all households were made up of individuals and 9.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

text: Machine learning methods, such as deep learning, hold great potential in the study of electromagnetic (EM) structures as they excel at complex multi-dimensional modeling. In this work, we introduce a generalized method to predict antenna performance using deep neural networks. Specifically, we estimate the far-field radiation and S11 of an antenna (e.g., rectangular patch antenna) in real-time by utilizing the near-field data using an artificial neural network (ANN). Our method is generalized as it can learn from a range of design parameters for various substrate materials and operating frequencies, and it can accurately predict all the required EM properties (e.g., near-and far-fields, S-parameters) of the desired antenna. When compared to numerical methods, we achieved acceptable antenna performance estimation, e.g., a mean absolute percentage error of 0.27% for an arbitrary antenna configuration.

How to register a marriage in Nigeria
Following is a guideline on how to register a marriage in the Federal Republic of Nigeria under Nigerian law. Please note that Nigerian authorities do not usually require an Australian citizen to provide a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage (CNI) when registering a marriage.
- Marriage is registered at a local public registry, which requires a Letter of Marriage Intention and payment of a fee of Naira 2,000.
- A person under 18 years of age, who wishes to register a marriage, is required to present a letter of consent from his or her parents.
- The registry will display the Letter of Marriage Intention for 21 days on a public notice board.
- Provided that no objection to the intended marriage is made during the 21 day period, a couple may then register their marriage.
- Birth certificates or official documents showing the ages of the couple are required together with the results of HIV and genotype tests.
- A divorcee must produce a divorce certificate, while a widow or a widower is required to present the death certificate of the late spouse.
- A marriage registrar may witness the exchange of oaths by the couple.

To use FILESTREAM feature both Windows administrator and SQL Server administrator have to enable it. While enabling from Windows there are three options to choose from:
- Enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL Access check box.
- Enable FILESTREAM for file I/O streaming access. This is to read and write FILESTREAM data from Windows. Enter the name of the Windows share in the Windows Share Name box.
- Select Allow remote clients to have streaming access to FILESTREAM data. This is to let remote clients access the FILESTREAM data stored on this share.
For SQL Server instance there are three options to choose from:
- 0 – Disable FILESTREAM support for this instance
- 1 – enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL access only
- 2 – enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL and Win32 streaming access
Note that FILESTREAM would perform worse for 1MB+ size files for full read/write if Transact-SQL is chosen (and Win32 streaming is not chosen) than no FILESTREAM BLOB.
Now that FILESTREAM is enabled, we can go ahead to do the rest of the setups.
First, create a file group to keep the FILESTREAM data. There is a 1:1 mapping between data containers and file groups.
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase ADD FILEGROUP MyFileStreamGroup1 CONTAINS FILESTREAM;
Second, define data container. In the below example, "D:\Production" must exist already. "D:\Production\FileStreamDataContainerRoot" is going to be the root of the data container.
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase ADD FILE ( NAME = FileStreamGroup1File, FILENAME = 'D:\Production\FileStreamDataContainerRoot') TO FILEGROUP MyFileStreamGroup1 ;
Third, create a table with a FILESTREAM column. All FILESTREAM columns of a table must go to a single FILESTREAM group that can be specified, defaulting to default FILESTREAM filegroup. Table must have a column of the non-null uniqueidentifier data type with ROWGUIDCOL attribute and either a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY single-column constraint. FILESTREAM data container will have a directory for a table with subdirectory corresponding to the FILESTREAM column of the table.
USE MyDatabase ; GO CREATE TABLE TableWithFileStreamColumn ( DocumentID INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, Document VARBINARY (MAX) FILESTREAM NULL, DocGUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL ROWGUIDCOL UNIQUE DEFAULT NEWID ()) FILESTREAM_ON MyFileStreamGroup1;

KRASNOYARSK REGIONAL MUSEUM OF LOCAL LORE
The Krasnoyarsk Regional Museum of Local Lore is one of the biggest and oldest museums in Siberia and Far East. Appeared in 1889 thanks to social initiative it is the real regional center of historical and cultural heritage, informational and educational center and attractive tourist establishment.
The field event happened in 2001 - the museum opened its doors for visitors after 14 years of reconstruction.
Closing the museum, we did not know about coming difficulties for our country and how it would have an effect on us. Museum fund and scientific potential and staff professionalism had been rising during that period. Considerable changes took place in material and technical basis of museum. All its buildings were repaired, reconstructed and restored, many expositions were changed in all branches and the new Literary Museum appeared.
Deep changes of our society during last ten years influenced on the museum work content: research and exhibition subjects and working forms with audience were widened. The new exposition demonstrates this fact ( for the first time there are new subjects, collections and fates).
The best creative power of the city took part in making this exposition. We appreciate deeply our sponsors and partners. Unfortunately the size of this publication does not allow us to name everybody.
The museum opening is the collective museum staff help where everybody contributes his mite. And this long-awaited event was brought about thanks to union of culture, power and business.
So, you are holding a guidebook written by authors of the new exposition. We hope it is useful for everyone interested in history and traditions of the region.

Penn Physics Professor Finds Light under the Sea
Penn Physics and Astronomy Assistant Professor Alison Sweeney's research on undersea biooptics may have implications for solar energy and the development of biofuels. As reported on the SASFrontiers website, Sweeney's research indicates that proteins in mollusc shells, called reflectins, help propagate solar energy underwater to optimize photosynthesis in algae colonies. Reflectins also enable squids to change their own reflective qualities, and enable them to camouflage themselves in brighter or darker waters.

You may have noticed that the emulator images shipped in the WM 6 SDKs have no cellular signal, which is very different from the previous SDKs where all images used to be connected to the Fake Network. We had to make this change to introduce the new Cellular Emulator tool. WM 5.0 SDKs' images use a technology we call FakeRIL, or the Fake Radio Interface Layer, and although it allowed developers to call and send SMS from within the Device Emulator (see Windows Mobile Device Emulator phone numbers for some examples), Cellular Emulator offers more options and it makes it easier to test your applications.
Here is some information on how to run Cellular Emulator and configure emulator image's network settings to browse to the Internet. Once you configure the emulator images, you can save their states (from Device Emulator) to speed up the process.
Cellular Emulator is a software-based emulator to aid developers and testers in developing and testing their software under the Windows Embedded CE and Windows Mobile platforms. The design goal of Cellular Emulator is to replace the radio module in both development and test environments. The advantage of Cellular Emulator is that it provides not only voice but also data connectivity. Moreover, Cellular Emulator is a powerful tool to test various applications under different wireless network conditions in GSM/GPRS and/or UMTS networks.
Running Cellular Emulator
- Launch the Cellular Emulator (Start/All Programs / Windows Mobile 6 SDK / Tools / Cellular Emulator ) and the Device Emulator.
- Read the COM port configuration from the status bar of the Cellular Emulator main window.
- In the Device Emulator, go to File / Configure and select the Peripherals tab.
- Map the Serial port 0 of Device Emulator to the specific COM number obtained from step 2
- Soft reset the Device Emulator (File / Reset / Soft).
Shutting the Cellular Emulator
The close button of the Cellular Emulator main windows will only send the application to the tray panel. To close the application, right click the tray icon and select Exit.
Cellular Emulator Data Connections
The Cellular Emulator will also provide GPRS connection simulation. Users can create simulated GPRS connections just like common ones. The access point name and user name/password are not checked and thus may be anything. Once the data connection is made, the emulator will just act as if it is connected to the network of the host machine. If some proxy settings are needed for the host machine to set up connections to remote machines, they are also needed on the emulator. Assume a network environment where HTTP proxy is needed to access external web sites. Setting samples on Windows Mobile 6 Standard and Professional are provided in the following sections.Windows Mobile 6 Standard
- Enter Start-Settings-Connections-GPRS-Menu-Add. Create a GPRS connection using the settings as follows.
- Name: PPP
- Connects to: WAP
- Network Access Point: Some Access Point Name
- User Name: Just leave blank for anonymous configuration
- (Optional) Enter Start-Settings-Connections-Proxy-Menu-Add. Create a proxy using the following settings.
- Description: Proxy
- Connects from: WAP Network
- Connects to: The Internet
- Address: The proxy in the specified user's network
- Enter Start-Settings-Connections-Menu-Advanced.
- Set Internet connection to PPP
- Set WAP connection to PPP
- Leave the others as automatic
- Enter Internet Explorer Mobile, and choose Menu–Tools–Options–Connections, then configure the Internet Explorer Mobile settings:
- Automatically detect settings: CHECKED
- Select network: The Internet
- Choose the Internet Explorer Mobile icon using the arrow key on the keyboard.
- Browse freely using Internet Explorer Mobile.
- If the user's computer uses a proxy to access the Internet, then the user needs to setup a Work Connection on the Pocket PC, otherwise the user can setup an Internet Connection.
- Setup a GPRS connection. Access point and user name can be empty.
- (Optional) Setup a proxy. This should be the full name of a working proxy required by the corporate network.
- Open Internet Explorer Mobile and browse to a web site.
Out of curiosity, Cellular Emulator went through an extreme makeover from the first time I learned about it as an internal tool, to its release in the Windows Mobile 6 SDK.
I hope you enjoy it and let me know your feedback!

The W.F. Mai Reference Library
There are currently a number of significant nematology holdings in the Dept. of Plant Pathology, acquired over the years by Dr. Mai. These include a collection of nematological reprints, a huge collection of photographic slides, an even bigger collection of prints and a large collection of preserved nematodes on microscope slides.
The W.F. Mai Nematology Reference Library is a collection of over 6000 reprints spanning 1898 through 1985, assembled throughout the career of Dr. Mai. These reprints cover a wide range of nematological topics and many of the reprints have been passed down from such luminaries as Cobb and Thorne.
Unfortunately, it is not feasible for the Cornell Department of Plant Pathology to provide public access to the reprints nor to handle requests for reproductions. A bibliographic database in Endnote Plus format is available for downloading. We hope it may give insight into some of the earliest literature available in nematology:

How does Elie lose his sense of self through his suffering and despair in Night?
Expert Answers
An illustration of the letter 'A' in a speech bubbles
I would suggest that one way the Eliezer loses his sense of self in the narrative is through the idea that survival becomes the driving force of his consciousness. The brutal conditions of life in the camps help to remove Eliezer from aspects the previously defined his sense of self. The movement from Sighet helps to dislodge him from his physical community. The breaking up of his family helps to remove his emotional sense of self. The violation of his faith loses his spiritual compass. In the end, the Nazis end up reducing Eliezer to a being where survival is the only driving force of his state of being in the world. At the end when Eliezer cannot recognize the face in the mirror staring back at him, it is symbolic as well as a physical displacement that has transpired.

Subgroups (FREE)
Introduced in GitLab 9.0.
You can organize GitLab groups into subgroups. You can use subgroups to:
 - Separate internal and external organizations. Because every subgroup can have its own visibility level, you can host groups for different purposes under the same parent group.
 - Organize large projects. You can use subgroups to give different access to parts of the source code.
 - Manage people and control visibility. Give a user a different role for each group they're a member of.
Subgroups can:
 - Belong to one immediate parent group.
 - Have many subgroups.
 - Be nested up to 20 levels.
 - Use runners registered to parent groups:
 - Secrets configured for the parent group are available to subgroup jobs.
 - Users with the Maintainer role in projects that belong to subgroups can see the details of runners registered to parent groups.
For example:
graph TD
 subgraph "Parent group"
 subgraph "Subgroup A"
 subgraph "Subgroup A1"
 G["Project E"]
 end
 C["Project A"]
 D["Project B"]
 E["Project C"]
 end
 subgraph "Subgroup B"
 F["Project D"]
 end
 end
Create a subgroup
Prerequisites:
NOTE: You cannot host a GitLab Pages subgroup website with a top-level domain name. For example, subgroupname.example.io.
To create a subgroup:
 1. On the top bar, select Menu > Groups and find and select the parent group to add a subgroup to.
 2. On the parent group's overview page, in the top right, select New subgroup.
 3. Select Create group.
 4. Fill in the fields. View a list of reserved names that cannot be used as group names.
 5. Select Create group.
Change who can create subgroups
To create a subgroup, you must have at least the Maintainer role on the group, depending on the group's setting. By default:
To change who can create subgroups on a group:
 - As a user with the Owner role on the group:
 1. On the top bar, select Menu > Groups and find your group.
 2. On the left sidebar, select Settings > General.
 3. Expand Permissions and group features.
 4. Select a role from Roles allowed to create subgroups.
 5. Select Save changes.
 - As an administrator:
 1. On the top bar, select Menu > Admin.
 2. On the left sidebar, select Overview > Groups.
 3. In the group's row select Edit.
 4. Select a role from Allowed to create subgroups.
 5. Select Save changes.
For more information, view the permissions table.
Subgroup membership
NOTE: There is a bug that causes some pages in the parent group to be accessible by subgroup members. For more details, see this issue.
When you add a member to a group, that member is also added to all subgroups. The user's permissions are inherited from the group's parent.
Subgroup members can:
 1. Be direct members of the subgroup.
 2. Inherit membership of the subgroup from the subgroup's parent group.
 3. Be a member of a group that was shared with the subgroup's top-level group.
flowchart RL

 end
 F-->|Group B\nshared with\nGroup A|B
 B-->|Inherited membership of Subgroup A|D
 G-->|Group C shared with Subgroup A|E
Group permissions for a member can be changed only by:
 - Users with the Owner role on the group.
 - Changing the configuration of the group the member was added to.
Determine membership inheritance
To see if a member has inherited the permissions from a parent group:
 1. On the top bar, select Menu > Groups and find the group.
 2. Select Group information > Members.
Members list for an example subgroup Four:
Group members page
In the screenshot above:
 - Five members have access to group Four.
 - User 0 has the Reporter role on group Four, and has inherited their permissions from group One:
 - User 0 is a direct member of group One.
 - Group One is above group Four in the hierarchy.
 - User 1 has the Developer role on group Four and inherited their permissions from group Two:
 - User 0 is a direct member of group Two, which is a subgroup of group One.
 - Groups One / Two are above group Four in the hierarchy.
 - User 2 has the Developer role on group Four and has inherited their permissions from group Three:
 - User 0 is a direct member of group Three, which is a subgroup of group Two. Group Two is a subgroup of group One.
 - Groups One / Two / Three are above group Four the hierarchy.
 - User 3 is a direct member of group Four. This means they get their Maintainer role directly from group Four.
 - Administrator has the Owner role on group Four and is a member of all subgroups. For that reason, as with User 3, the Source column indicates they are a direct member.
Members can be filtered by inherited or direct membership.
Override ancestor group membership
Users with the Owner role on a subgroup can add members to it.
You can't give a user a role on a subgroup that's lower than the roles they have on ancestor groups. To override a user's role on an ancestor group, add the user to the subgroup again with a higher role. For example:
 - If User 1 is added to group Two with the Developer role, they inherit that role in every subgroup of group Two.
 - To give User 1 the Maintainer role on group Four (under One / Two / Three), add them again to group Four with the Maintainer role.
 - If User 1 is removed from group Four, their role falls back to their role on group Two. They have the Developer role on group Four again.
Mention subgroups
Mentioning subgroups (@<subgroup_name>) in issues, commits, and merge requests notifies all members of that group. Mentioning works the same as for projects and groups, and you can choose the group of people to be notified.


Children urged to make waves
GET off the Xbox and get into the ocean this summer, with the North-West Vegemite SurfGroms children's program.
The robust, cutting-edge junior surf development program teaches kids all about surf conditions, surf survival, beach etiquette, basic first aid and ocean rescue skills - as well as how to surf a gnarly wave.
"We guarantee that you'll be standing up before you complete the course," SurfGroms instructor Joey Cotton said.
The Vegemite SurfGroms program is a national initiative available to anyone aged between five and 12, regardless of experience or ability.

AGRESTA, Marisa Cury; BRANDAO, Maria Regina Ferreira and BARROS NETO, Turíbio Leite de. Physical and emotional causes and consequences of career termination in sports. Rev Bras Med Esporte [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.6, pp. 504-508. ISSN _PHONE_.
INTRODUCTION: Elite athletes will have to face sport career termination sooner or later, and this is a crucial and inevitable process that brings about changes in the occupational, financial, social and psychological spheres of their lives, which can be followed by emotional distress. OBJECTIVE: The present study had the aim to research how former Brazilian basketball and professional soccer players have experienced retirement in sports career as well as its causes and consequences. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 79 former elite male athletes (soccer and basketball players) with mean age of 51.75 ± 8.85 years old were assessed. They have been professional athletes for 18.22 ± 4.66 years and had their career termination at about 34.36 ± 4.42 years. A semi-structured interview frame was used and the data were analyzed according to the answers frequency of occurrence for each interview item. RESULTS: It was observed that for 75.9% of these athletes the retirement from sport was their own choice. Age (49.4%) and appearance of other interests (43.0%) were the most frequent reasons related to the retirement. However, they have experienced feelings of sadness (50.6%) and resignation (36.7%) and 43% of the former athletes have experienced worsening in their physical condition after career termination. CONCLUSION: We can conclude that the hereby-assessed athletes have experienced a long sports career, but their retirement caused feelings of sadness. On the other hand, old age itself is a limitation for the practice of elite sports, and its acknowledgement has led to resignation.
Keywords : retirement; sports [psychology]; soccer; basketball.

Reduce your lead exposure
Let the water run
Water is more likely to absorb the lead from your plumbing if it sits for several hours.
If you haven't run water through your faucet for several hours, you should:
- Let the cold-water faucet run until you feel that the water is as cold as it will get.
- Run the water for 2 -3 minutes if you have a lead waterline.
Use cold water
Hot water dissolves lead faster than cold water.
- If you need hot water, heat it after it comes out of the faucet.
- Use only cold water for drinking, cooking and baby formula.
When lead in water is not a concern
You do not have to worry about lead in water that you use to:
- Flush the toilet
- Run your dishwasher
- Water plants


Home / Blog / Claris Connect's Super-power: Webhooks
Claris Connect's Super-power: Webhooks
Claris Connect has one connector that packs an enormous amount of punch: webhooks.
Figure 1: Screenshot of the details for the Webhooks connector
Figure 1: Webhooks connector detail
With a webhook as a Trigger, you can make Claris Connect act as a web service without writing a single line of code.
And with a webhook as an Action in your flow, you can communicate with Cloud apps or on-premise apps that are not covered by the regular Claris Connect connectors.
A webhook does this: If an event happens in System A, then System A will send some data about that event to System B, and it does that over an HTTP connection (typically HTTPS to encrypt the data).
For this to work, System B needs to be listening for HTTPS connections at all times and process the data that is being sent its way.
In essence, System B is a web service, and its URL is configured in System A so that System A knows where to send its data.
Let's walk through an example. You have a FileMaker app where you track your sales, your customers, and their payments.
For your payment processing, you use Authorize.Net, which happens to be a cloud app that is not currently covered by Claris Connect.
You do, however, want to receive notifications when a fraud alert happens with one of the payments. Authorize.Net has an API endpoint to retrieve the list of payments held for potential fraud reasons. You could write a script in your FileMaker app to call that API endpoint and retrieve the list of transactions on a timed schedule. FileMaker is really good at calling APIs and working with the JSON data that it receives from those calls.
But a timed schedule is not real-time enough for your purpose. You want something to happen in your FileMaker app as soon as the Fraud alert happens at Authorize.Net.
Authorize.Net allows you to specify a URL where it can send these notifications as they happen.
Figure 2: Screenshot of Authorize.Net account settings
Figure 2: Authorize.Net Account Settings
So what do you put in that "Endpoint URL" field, that is where Authorize.Net will send the notification and event data.
You could configure the Data API in your FileMaker, which will make your FileMaker Server behave as a web service that you can send data too. But there is a disconnect between what Authorize.Net sends (see Figure 3) and what FileMaker Server expects to receive (see Figure 4). They both have their own JSON dialect if you will. The figure below shows the difference.
Figure 3: Screenshot showing what Authorize.Net sends
Figure 3: What Authorize.Net sends…
Figure 4: Screenshot of what the FileMaker Server Data API expects
Figure 4: …what the FileMaker Server Data API expects
You cannot make Authorize.Net change what they send, and you cannot make FileMaker Server expect a different JSON structure. What this means is that we cannot use the FileMaker Server Data API URL as a webhook for Authorize.Net.
Traditionally this problem would require putting something in the middle, something that can receive the JSON from the sender and transform it into JSON that FileMaker Server can receive. The FileMaker community has created wrappers around the Data API to facilitate this and to allow you to author these middleware web services in whatever web technology you prefer (or that you are mandated to use): JavaScript,.NET, Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, etc. This, of course, requires some level of proficiency in those technologies, and that puts it out of reach for many.
Now, however, you can use Claris Connect to act as the middleman.
Start a new flow in Claris Connect and choose Webhooks as your trigger. It will default to "Incoming HTTP request," which is exactly what we need.
Figure 5: Screenshot of the Webhooks trigger that defaults to Incoming HTTP request
Figure 5: Webhook trigger defaults to "Incoming HTTP Request"
Next, if you have existing webhooks like I do, you will be able to pick from your existing ones, but for this purpose, create a new one.
Figure 6: Screenshot of creating a new webhook
Figure 6: Create a new webhook
Once you give your webhook a meaningful name, Claris Connect will generate a unique URL for it, and that is the URL that you will enter in the Authorize.Net configuration:
Figure 7: Screenshot of generated URL
Figure 7: Unique URL generated by Claris Connect
At this point, Claris Connect expects you to send something to that webhook URL so that it can learn what the structure of what it will receive and make it available to you for the next steps in your flow.
For this, I typically use Postman so that I can test without having to fire an actual event on the Authorize.Net side.
Use the URL from the Claris Connect Webhook and take the JSON example from Authorize.Net to put together the Postman test call.
Figure 8: Screenshot putting together the Postman test call
Figure 8: Postman test call
When you send the request, Claris Connect will confirm that it has received the payload, and you can proceed with the rest of the flow.
Figure 9: Screenshot of confirmation that connection is complete
Figure 9: Confirmation that connection is complete
Select the relevant FileMaker connector for your setup and select the "Create Record" action:
Figure 10: Screenshot with
Figure 10: Select the "Create Record" action
Create a new connection or use the relevant existing one that points to your FileMaker file where the data lives and select a layout that exposes the required fields. You can then select from the elements that the webhook received to fill in your FileMaker fields.
Figure 11. Screenshot of elements that the webhook received
Figure 11: Elements received by the webhook
Once you have confirmed that everything works, you can take the webhook URL and set it up on Authorize.Net.
And that is it.
In a manner of minutes, you have built a fully functional web service that receives data from a cloud app that does not have a pre-built connector. That is the power of webhooks as they are implemented in Claris Connect.
Here's another example of using a Claris Connect webhook (in French from 1-more-thing, using a WordPress site and the WooCommerce plugin).
There are few gotchas of course:
 - You cannot send XML; only JSON can be sent to a Claris Connect webhook. If the other system can only send XML, then you will still need some middle-man web service that you build yourself.
 - Some APIs require you to send a particular HTTP response when you receive a webhook message: for instance, Microsoft's Office 365 API expects an answer with "202 – accepted". Claris Connect can handle that by using a Webhook as the next action in the flow and selecting the required status code.
Figure 12: Screenshot of selecting the required status code
Figure 12: Select the required status code
The "$" character in JSON key names is not accepted by Claris Connect. That means that if the other system sends data like this:
Figure 13: Screenshot of JSON key name
Figure 13: JSON key name
Claris Connect will throw an error and not run your flow. Other characters such as "@" are fine, which is important because the "@" character is used a lot in key names with OData-compatible systems.
The goal for this blog post was to illustrate the tremendous power that comes from being able to consume webhooks and the doors it opens to integrations with a wide variety of systems that support it.

Consider a simple lazy random walk on an $n$-vertex undirected, connected graph: this is the Markov chain which transitions from $i$ to $j$ with probability $p_{ij}=1/(2d(i))$ where $d(i)$ is the degree of node $i$. Note that $p_{ii}=1/2$ for all $i$. Define $C(i)$ be the expected time until a walk starting from node $i$ visits every vertex and let $C = \max_i C(i)$. Let $I(k,l)$ be the expected time until two random walks, starting at vertices $k$ and $l$, intersect (i.e., until they visit the same vertex at the same time). Let $I = \max_{k,l} I(k,l)$.
My question is: can we bound $I$ in terms of $C$? Specifically, is it true that $$ \frac{I}{C} \leq k \log^l n$$ for some constants $k,l$ independent of $n$ and of the graph?
I asked this question on math.stackexchange a week ago without receiving an answer.

Interesting question. Can you elaborate on why you think the inequality should hold? And tell us how you attempted to solve the problem and why it failed? – Pascal Maillard May 23 '12 at 8:18

In Proposition 5 of Chapter 14 of the unpublished book on Markov chains by Aldous and Fill, they show that for continuous time reversible Markov chains, \[ I \le \max\{ \mathbb{E}_i T_j, i,j \in V\}, \] where $\mathbb{E}_i T_j$ is the expected time, starting from state i, until state j is visited. The preceding maximum is clearly bounded from above by $C$, so it follows that $I \le C$. This includes the case of continuous time simple random walk on a connected graph $G$, and a similar argument can be used to to establish the bound for lazy simple random walk on $G$ (in fact, the martingale argument used in the proof is originally described in Chapter 3 of the same book for the case of discrete time walks).

A team of Vanderbilt researchers has developed a novel fiducial marker for use during radiosurgery of the eye. The fiducial is a non-invasive, comfortable method for performing registration of preoperative medical images and the radiotherapy target during therapy. The device aims to remove the need for existing invasive registration procedures, while still providing accurate localization to the clinician.
Current clinical methods for localizing the eye during stereotactic treatments involve either invasive anesthesia blocks of the eye, crude visual prompts to the patient, or most recently, surgically implanted fiducials to track the eye position at the time of radiation delivery. While implanted fiducials do provide sufficient localization of the eye, they are an invasive measure and a great inconvenience to patients who are ultimately trying to avoid a surgical intervention with radiosurgery. The present technology addresses these concerns with a non-invasive design that has the potential to be used during both the radiation planning and treatment.
- Non-invasive fiducial marker
- No discomfort for the patient
- Able to be seen on both CT and MRI scans
- Removes the need for an additional surgery
Technology Development Status
A prototype of the device has been created. Additional testing and device refinement is ongoing.
Intellectual Property Status
A patent application has been filed.

Niquitin mini 4 mg 3x20 pressed lozenges
Niquitin mini 4 mg 60 pressed lozenges
 - $43.50
NiQuitin Mini 4 mg is a smoking lozenge that replaces some of the nicotine absorbed by inhalation from cigarettes. NiQuitin Mini 4 mg treats smoking addiction by alleviating withdrawal symptoms (such as irritability and weakness) and suppressing the appetite for smoking when nicotine is stopped. Absorbed nicotine reduces the desire to smoke and helps to resist a cigarette. It does not contain tar or carbon monoxide and therefore does not have the same health risk as tobacco smoking. Pressed lozenges NiQuitin Mini 4 mg are intended for adult smokers who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day.
Stop smoking at once: Adults start taking 8-12 lozenges daily for up to 6 weeks whenever you get a cigarette. Then gradually reduce them to 1-2 lozenges a day, then stop taking them.
Quitting smoking gradually: When the irresistible need to smoke, adults use a lozenge instead of a cigarette. Gradually reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Reducing the number should stop smoking.
If you do not stop smoking completely within 6 months, consult your doctor. The lozenges must not be chewed or swallowed. Do not take more than 15 lozenges a day. Children 12 years of age and adolescents should only take the medicine on the advice of a doctor.
The active substance is nicotine 4 mg as a resin complex (nicotini resinas 20.00 mg) in one lozenge.
The other ingredients are mannitol, sodium alginate, potassium bicarbonate, xanthan gum, polycarbophil calcium, sodium carbonate, acesulfame potassium, magnesium stearate, peppermint flavor and menthol powder flavor, corrigents. NiQuitin Mini does not contain sugar.
The lozenges are not suitable for children under 12 years and for non-smokers.

text: Triarylmethyl (TAM) radicals are widely used in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy as spin labels and in EPR imaging as spin probes for in vivo oxymetry. One of the key advantages of TAMs is the extremely narrow EPR line, especially in case of deuterated analogs (~2.5 μT). Another advantage is their slow spin relaxation even at physiological temperatures; in particular, this characteristic enables the use of pulsed dipolar EPR methods for distance measurements in biomolecules. In this study, a large series of TAM radicals and their deuterated analogs was synthesized, and the corresponding spectroscopic parameters including 13C hyperfine constants were determined for the first time. We observed negligible dependence of 13C hyperfine constants on the solvent or on the structure or number of substituents at para-C atoms of the aromatic rings. In addition, we demonstrated that 13C signals at natural abundance can be used for successful distance measurements at room temperature by pulsed electron double resonance (PELDOR or DEER).


Semi-transparent particles
Particles can be made semi-transparent by setting their Transparency particle property. A Transparency value of 0.0 lets a particle appear fully opaque, while any value in the range 0.0-1.0 renders the particle translucent.
The easiest way to set the Transparency property is the Compute property modifier. Simply enter the desired transparency value into the expression field and the Compute property modifier will assign that value to all particles.
Sometimes you want to make only a subset of the particles semi-transparent. For this, first select the particles, then apply the Compute property modifier. Activate its Compute only for selected particles option to restrict the assignment of the Transparency value to the currently selected particles only. Unselected particles will keep their transparency values (0 by default).
For demonstration purposes, in the example shown on the right, the Compute property modifier was used to set the Transparency property according to a simple math formula: ReducedPosition.X. Thus, instead of assigning a uniform transparency value to all particles, each particle's value is computed individually from its X position divided by the simulation cell size, which varies between 0 to 1 from one side of the simulation box to the other.

|The Disappearance of Civil Trial in the United States|
|John H. Langbein [View as PDF]|
122 Yale L.J. 522 (2012).
Since the 1930s, the proportion of civil cases concluded at trial has declined from about 20% to below 2% in the federal courts and below 1% in state courts. This Article looks to the history of the civil trial to explain why the trial endured so long and then vanished so rapidly.
For the litigants, a civil procedure system serves two connected functions: investigating the facts and adjudicating the dispute. The better the system investigates and clarifies the facts, the more it promotes settlement and reduces the need to adjudicate. The Anglo-American common law for most of its history paid scant attention to the investigative function. This Article points to the role of the jury system in shaping the procedure and restricting the investigative function. Pleading was the only significant component of pretrial procedure, and the dominant function of pleading was to control the jury by narrowing to a single issue the question that the jury would be asked to decide. This primitive pretrial process left trial as the only occasion at which it was sometimes possible to investigate issues of fact. Over time, the jury-free equity courts developed techniques to enable litigants to obtain testimonial and documentary evidence in advance of adjudication. The fusion of law and equity in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure of 1938 brought those techniques into the merged procedure, and expanded them notably. The signature reform of the Federal Rules was to shift pretrial procedure from pleading to discovery. A new system of civil procedure emerged, centered on the discovery of documents and the sworn depositions of parties and witnesses. Related innovations, the pretrial conference and summary judgment, reinforced the substitution of discovery for trial. This new procedure system has overcome the investigation deficit that so afflicted common law procedure, enabling almost all cases to be settled or dismissed without trial. Pretrial procedure has become nontrial procedure by making trial obsolete.
