DKIM "i=" vs "d=" and Reputation
This really should be part seven of a twelve part series or some such as it deals with an aspect of DKIM that's really important, but is way down in the details of implementation. (dkim.org is a reasonable place to start for a general overview of DKIM).
There's an apparently endless thread on the DKIM-SSP spec development mailing list at the moment about the differences between two fields in a DKIM signature that could be used to tie a senders reputation to. Several ESP delivery folks asked me to explain what everyone was talking about, and this post is a first cut at that.
"i=" vs "d="
There are two possible fields in a DKIM signature that could be used to identify the sender of a message, and so to tie a sender history and reputation record to. They are the so-called "i=" and "d=" field, from the syntax used to include them in the signature.
d= is the domain of the entity signing the message. It's the unique identifier for that signer.
As DKIM is domain based, it tells you only that the message was authorized by a given domain, it doesn't tell you who within that domain sent it. One obvious way of passing that information is to use subdomains (billing.example.com vs aardvark.example.com). Another would be to use something like a MySender header – say MySender: _EMAIL_ and have the DKIM signature authenticate that header. That way when you look at the email you see that it is signed by or on behalf of example.com, and that the sender (who is either example.com or somebody they have authorized to send mail on their behalf) is asserting that the author of the message is actually "_EMAIL_" rather than just somebody related to example.com.
The email address in that signed MySender header needn't be the same as any other header, so it may be different to the From, the Reply-To and everything else. It may not be visible to the final recipient at all.
The i= field is almost the same as that MySender header. It's an additional bit of data that the signer of the message (the domain in the d= tag) is asserting to be the identity of the sender of that message. There are a few trivial differences, but that's the gist of it.
Those trivial differences are…
- The domain part of the email address in the i= tag must be the same as or a subdomain of the domain in the d= tag.
- The DKIM public key record associated with a particular domain and selector may (and in practice, probably will if the sender uses i= at all) assert that the domain part of the email address in the i= field must exactly match the domain in the d= field. The value of this is unclear, but it might allow a DKIM verifier to avoid a fair bit of DNS work in some cases.
- The DKIM public key record associated with a particular domain and selector may (but in practice likely never will) assert that you should not consider the signature valid unless the local part of the i= field matches the (wildcarded) string in the g= field of the public key record. In practice I expect this to never be used.
So, summarized, if the d= field is d=example.com and the mail was sent by _EMAIL_ you'd expect the i= field to be one of two things "_EMAIL_" or "_EMAIL_".
"_USER_.com" just means that the person who sent the message is at example.com – in other words it says nothing that's not already said by the "d=example.com" field. In fact, if i= is omitted altogether, this is what you assume it's value is.
"_EMAIL_" means that example.com (or someone they've shared one of their private keys with) is asserting that the sender of the message is "_EMAIL_".
What are they for?
The intended use of i= is the corporate or ISP environment where you may want to DKIM sign mail from users, or allow users (or entire divisions or offices) to DKIM sign mail, but also provide some basic level of enforcement that marketing can't sign mails claiming to be from sales and vice-versa in a corporate environment.
In a consumer ISP environment, it would be possible for earthlink.net to create a DKIM private/public key pair and give the private key to _EMAIL_, to allow him to sign his own email with the d=earthlink.net domain, but require him to put "_EMAIL_" in each message, and have DKIM verifiers refuse to verify the message if he omits the i= field, or puts _EMAIL_ there instead.
I don't expect anyone to use i= much at all, and there's no obvious, sensible use case for it in the context of ESPs or other bulk senders at all. That doesn't mean that ESPs may not use it (to stash a unique customer identifier in, say) but there's no clear use case for recipients to pay much attention to it in reputation terms, so not much drives the ESP to make serious use of it.
If the message is signed by the ESP (d=esp.com) then the ESPs reputation is the one that'll be used to judge the message. If the message is signed by (or, more likely, on behalf of) the customer (d=bricknmortar.com) then the reputation of the customer is the one that'll be used. Even if, in the former case, the message is signed with "_EMAIL_ d=esp.com" I'd be amazed if any mechanical reputation system treated that particularly differently to just "d=esp.com". That all may change as DKIM gets more widely deployed and people get more comfortable with the semantics, but I think it can safely be ignored for the next year or two.
I expect most smarter ESP customers to push for using their own domain for signing, probably by delegating a subdomain to the ESP, rather than signing with the ESPs domain. This gives them the advantage of their own reputation, mostly unaffected by the reputations of other customers of the ESP and which can be transferred from one ESP to another.
I'm not sure which approach the ESPs will push their customers to use, as there are conflicting business pressures. A reputation tied to the customer rather than the ESP reduces the impact of customers reputations on each other – similar to the advantages of one IP to a customer, but more so. But it also makes it easier for a customer to take their business elsewhere without sacrificing the reputation they've built.

Today's townland is Ballyholme, in Bangor, County Down. Ballyholme is the built-up hinterland of the large sweeping bay in the lower half of this photograph.
The whole of that bay is known as "Ballyholme Bay", but the townland itself only includes the streets between Waverley Avenue and Ballymaconnell Road. Ballyholme townland doesn't extend out to the eastern headland, which is in Ballymacormick townland, or the western headland, which is in Corporation (the townland for Bangor town centre).
The origin of the name Ballyholme is not clear. The suggestions on the PLACENAMESNI website involve either the surname Holm or Holmes, or the word "holm" meaning "river meadow".
It may once have been a meadow, but as you saw from the aerial shot, most of Ballyholme is now a built-up residential area. The townland spreads as far inland as the East Circular Road A2 dual carriageway, with a school and a church both named after Saint Columbanus.
In 1903, builders working near the shore at Ballyholme found two 9th century brooches and a bowl. According to the Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland (1906 edition), the items were probably connected with the cremated burial of a Viking, more likely to have been a member of a raiding band than a settler in Ireland. Brooches were worn by both men and women, but the absence of weapons suggested that this was the grave of a woman.
A thousand years after the Vikings, visitors were crowding into Ballyholme again as the opening of Bangor railway station in 1865 brought holiday-makers from Belfast to enjoy the seaside.
But I must mention the yacht club because they run this great sea-swimming event in Ballyholme Bay every Monday evening over the summer. Click here for details if you feel like joining the next swim!

they are supercharged, the following conditions
-Run a little faster than flower Pikmin (regardless of whether they are
flowers or leaves, they all run with the same speed).
-Fight much stronger (Enemies and opponent's Pikmin stand little chance).
There are a few other things to note. The condition wears off after about 40
seconds. Also keep in mind that Pikmin who engage enemies and are shaken off
of them will lose the condition faster than the rest of the Pikmin. It's
similar to the gradual loss of flowers on Pikmin when getting shaken off of
an enemy.
Cherries are lying around every level, and are always regenerating. They mix
up the game-sometimes they just annoy the opponent, but at opportune times,
they can very drastically change the game. Cherries are very lightweight,
and only take one Pikmin to carry back to your Onion. One is actually the
minimum and maximum amount; that is to say, you cannot even put two Pikmin
on one cherry to carry one back. Cherries can travel very fast back to the
Onion, usually fast enough to dodge enemies that they might pass by.
However, they may brush by enemies, disturbing them. And if it's a big
Bulborb, that could be very bad. Naturally, a flower Pikmin will travel
faster back with a cherry.
When a cherry reaches the Onion, a roulette will spin for about 5 seconds
and stop on a symbol. This section details what every symbol means and what
to expect from each one. But you may find more than one cherry at one time.
Well, every additional cherry that you receive from the roulette is stored
and marked by a red dot. The roulette appears on the right side of the
screen, and the red dots appear above the roulette. When you use a cherry
(by pressing Y) the condition takes place immediately, and the roulette will
spin again until there are no more red dots (additional cherries stored).
Then the roulette will disappear until another cherry is stored in the
Onion. You can have a maximum of five stored. That's four plus the one the
roulette stopped on. You shouldn't have more than two or three at one time,
anyway. The only way you might have four stored is if you are holding onto
one and collect four more.
There are certain spots in a level that cherries will generate and
regenerate. Typically, only a few cherries can appear at one time in any
particular spot. However, there can be upwards of six available. They will
stop regenerating when there are too many there. Where you find cherries
differs on each level, but usually where you find one, you can find more
regenerate there in the future. But once they are stored in the Onion, they
will continue to regenerate randomly. Another cherry appears about every 10
seconds, so you could easily spare a Pikmin every time you find a cherry to
bring it back to the Onion and get heavily rewarded. In fact, I would highly
recommend taking back all cherries that you find. The rest of this section
covers what each symbol does, and how to use the symbols, and etc. A few of
the symbols were combined since they are very similar in effect.
Each description for the cherries uses these categories.
-Looks Like: What the symbol looks like.
-Effect: What the symbol does when executed.
-Threat Level: The level of threat to your opponent when used or vice versa.
-When it should be used: When the cherry should be executed.
-Notes: Additional descriptive notes on effects and on recommended usage.
Below are the definitions of each description for 'Threat Level'.
-Low: Won't affect your opponent too much.
-Medium: Can cause some negative effects on your opponent.
-High: Will drastically affect your opponent.
-Varies: Can sometimes do Low-High threats. Read Notes for additional
Below are the definitions of each description for 'When it should be used'.
-Always Immediately: Should always be executed immediately.
-Usually Immediately: Should be executed immediately, but sometimes is
better to be held.
-Depends: Sometimes it should be used right away, but may be best to be
Looks Like: Purple goo and Red goo (Two different types of symbols); exact
shape is the yellow nectar that is typically found in most matches.
Effect: Adds one spray to each respective type
Threat Level: Medium
When it should be used: Always Immediately
Notes: These should be pretty straight-forward. There's no reason to hold
onto these cherries (you may of course want to wait to use the actualy
sprays themselves), as you'll want/need all the sprays you can get. See
Section S306 for info on the purple and red sprays. The threat level is
considered Medium because even just one additional spray can mean a victory
in a Pikmin-on-Pikmin battle.
Looks Like: A bomb spider
Effect: Drops a dweevil right on your opponent, and will set off a timer for
a bomb explosion if it spots movement.
Threat Level: Varies
When it should be used: Depends
Notes: Really the only time you absolutely shouldn't use it if you are
engaging your opponent and his Pikmin. You could also wait it out, and use
it when your opponent has the most Pikmin with him. It's also smart to use
this when your opponent is in a small area or a corner. Usually you can
outrun the spider if you call your Pikmin right away and keep running, so
it's not the most effective cherry. There is one little catch to it. If you
drop it on your opponent, and your opponent runs away fast enough, he can
actually escape it before it sees him and sets off the bomb. Of course, it
will not go away, and it will follow anything it sees moving. So if it is
dropped between you and your opponent, and your opponent runs away, the
spider may just decide to come back to you rather than chase after the
opponent. Just be careful, and it could be very effective, if you're lucky.
That is why the threat level varies-it could be devastating or do little to
Looks Like: Two fat white things, one with a red spout, one with a blue
Effect: Drops a fiery or watery blowhog at your opponent's base. If your
opponent has red Pikmin, it will be a watery blowhog. If your opponent has
blue Pikmin, it will be a fiery blowhog. Lasts for 50 seconds.
Threat Level: Medium
When it should be used: Usually Immediately
Notes: This little monster will spray water or fire, depending on which one
would kill the opponent's Pikmin. Since it is dropped at the base, it could
end up killing stray Pikmin that may have been taking something back to the
Onion. This one depends a little on timing, though you can usually use it
immediately and be safe. It could be just as bad for your opponent when he
is at the base than when he isn't at the base.
Let's consider both opportunities. If your opponent isn't at his base, you
should only use it if you know there are stray Pikmin there to be affected
by the enemy. However, it may be in your best interest to just use it and
move on to another cherry.
But what if your opponent is there? He may be trying to pick some Pikmin out
of the ground, and with the rest of his army running crazy from fire/water,
it can be hectic for him. And stalling him can be a good thing. The enemy
isn't too hard to defeat, so the threat level remains at Medium.
But what if it happens to you? Usually, it is unwise to interrupt what you
are doing to go back to your base to save a few Pikmin. But if you are
caught at your base with one, it may be wise to destroy it quickly as to not
impede your progress. And keep in mind that you and your opponent can send
in as many of these guys as the cherries will allow.
Looks Like: A big orange puffy balloon.
Effect: Drops an orange blowhog at your opponent's base; blows Pikmin making
them stumble and lose their flowers, if they have any. Lasts for 50 seconds.
Threat Level: Low
When it should be used: Usually Immediately
Notes: This enemy will become a problem for your opponent if he is at the
base. But either way, stray Pikmin at the base will lose their flowers,
which will make it harder on your opponent.
It may be helpful to hold onto it until your opponent comes by his base, or
when you are away form the base, but since it isn't a huge burden either
way, it's usually best to simply execute it right away. It will also cause
your opponent to fall down, so it will be more effective if your opponent is
there. Then again, you could use it when your opponent isn't there, and
there will be an unpleasant surprise waiting for him when he gets back. But
to move onto another cherry, for you, it's probably best to use it right
If this beast is in your base, it may be worth your time to bring it down.
Of course, if all of your Pikmin

The Indiana Department of Transportation announces that chip seal preservation is scheduled to begin on or after Monday, July 29, weather permitting. Work is scheduled to begin on U.S. 231 between U.S. 36 to just north of the CSX Railroad in Greencastle. This roadway will be closed to through traffic, but open to residents and businesses. Motorists should expect long delays. Work is scheduled to last through Thursday, August 1.
Motorists will be directed around the closures utilizing U.S. 36 to S.R. 75 to U.S. 40 and back.
Drivers can expect lane restrictions and traffic directed by flaggers while INDOT maintenance crews maintain access for vehicles. Motorists are urged to seek an alternate route. If driving through the chip seal work zone, drivers should take extra caution, drive slowly and allow additional space between vehicles to prevent stone chips from damaging windshields or paint.
Once the chip seal has cured, crews will sweep the highway clear of loose stone, apply a fog seal surface coat and paint pavement markings.
National research has shown that every $1 used to preserve INDOT roadways saves $6 to $14 in future costs. After years of heavy traffic and winter freeze-thaw cycles, small cracks typically develop in our highways. If left untreated, moisture seeps into these cracks and form potholes when water freezes and expands. As the name implies, a chip-seal treatment seals off the cracks. The stone chips provide improved traction for stopping, especially during winter.

Importing Data from Relational Database
R has certain limitation regarding the processing of extremely large dataset and doesn't support concurrent access to data. A Relational Database Management System on the other hand is capable of providing fast access to selected portions of the big data, and can provide concurrent access from multiple users running on various hosts. There are various R packages that can be used to communicate with RDBMS, each with a different level of abstraction. Some of these packages have the functionality of copying entire data frames to and from databases. Some of the packages available on CRAN for importing data from Relational Database are:
- RSQLite (This packages is used for bundled DBMS SQLite)
- RJDBC (This package uses Java and can connect to any DBMS with a JDBC driver)
- RMongo (This is an R interface for Java Client with MongoDB)
RMySQL package is an interface to MySQL DBMS. The current version of this package requires DBI package to be pre-installed.
The function dbDriver("MySQL") returns the database connection manager object, which can be followed up by functions like dbConnect and dbDisconnect to open a database connection and close the connection, respectively. Packages such as RSQLite, RPostgreSQL and ROracle needs to be installed before working on these DBMS using their respective call functions, dbDriver("SQLite"), dbDriver("RPostgreSQL"), dbDriver("Oracle").
Learn Data Science by working on interesting Data Science Projects
- dbGetQuery sends the queries and fetches results as the data frame.
- dbSendQuery only sends the query and returns an object of class inheriting from "DBIResult", this object of class can be used to fetch the required result.
- dbClearResult removes the result from cache memory.
- fetch returns few or all rows that were asked in query. The output of fetch function is a list.
- dbHasCompleted is used to check is all the rows are retrieved.
- dbReadTable and dbWriteTable functions are used to read and write the tables in Database from an R data frame.
>library(RMySQL) >connection <-dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"), dbname = "Test_Database") ## Assuming that we are using MySQL tables for DBMS >dbListTables(connection) ##Loading a data frame into database >data(Sample_Data) >dbWriteTable(connection, "Column1", Sample_Data, overwrite=True) ## To read the Column1 of in the database >dbReadTable(connection, "Column1") ## Selecting from the loaded table as a query >dbGetQuery(Connection, paste(Row_Name, Variable_Name, Condition))
RODBC package provides an interface to database sources supporting on ODBC interface. This package is widely used because it needs the same R code to import data from different database system. RODBC package works on OS X, Windows and Unix/Linux across most of the database systems such as, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL.
- odbcConnect and obdcDriverConnect functions are used to open a database connection.
- odbcGetInfo function will provide details about the client and server.
- odbcClose function is used to close the database connection.
- sqlSave function saves the R data frame in argument into the database table.
- sqlFetch does the opposite, by saving the database table into an R data frame.
- sqlQuery is used to send an SQL query to the database, which returns an R data frame.
In the example mentioned below, we are using a PostgreSQL with an ODBC driver.
>library(RODBC) >connection <- odbcConnect("Sample_Database", uid="Name", case="tolower") >data(Sample_Data) >sqlSave(connection, Sample_Data, rowname="Row1", addPK=TRUE) >rm(Sample_Data) >sqlQuery(connection, "Select_Column, Condition")
Importing Data from Non-Relational Database
R also has packages that support non-relational database for data import.
- rhbase is used for Hadoop Distributed File System
- RCassandra is used for Cassandra Database system
- Rmongodb is used for MongoDB.
>Library(rmongodb) >SampleDatabase <- "Test_Database" >MyMongoDB <- mongo.create(db=SampleDatabase) ## To insert a list >mongo.insert(MyMongoDB, "Test_Database.Column1", list.name)

Improve UDF and MapReduce development experience using MaxCompute Studio
Created#More Posted time:Nov 15, 2016 10:03 AM
UDF is short for User Defined Function. MaxCompute provides many built-in functions to meet users' computing requirements. It also supports UDF creation to meet custom computing demands of users. There are three types of UDFs available for user extensions: UDF (User Defined Scalar Function), UDTF (User Defined Table Valued Function) and UDAF (User Defined Aggregation Function).
At the same time, MaxCompute also provides the MapReduce programming interface. You can use the Java API provided by MapReduce to compile a MapReduce program for processing data in MaxCompute.
With the end-to-end support provided by MaxCompute Studio, you can quickly start and familiarize yourself with the development of a UDF and a MapReduce program of your own to improve efficiency. Next, we will introduce how to develop a UDF of your own using MaxCompute Studio:
Create a MaxCompute Java module
First, you should create a module in IntelliJ for developing the MaxCompute Java program. The specific steps are: File > New > Module... The module type should be MaxCompute Java. Configure the installation path of the Java JDK and MaxCompute console. Click Next, enter the module name and then click Finish.
There are two main objectives for configuring the console here:
- The compiling of UDF and MapReduce programs is dependent on the related JAR files of the MaxCompute framework. These JAR files are all present in the lib directory of the console. MaxCompute Studio can help you to automatically import these lib files to the dependent library of the module.
- MaxCompute Studio can integrate the console and some actions will be very convenient using the console.
So far, a module for developing a MaxCompute Java program has been established, that is, the jDev shown in the figure below. Its main directories include:
- src (User-developed UDF|Source code directories of the MapReduce program)
- examples (Example code directories, including single test examples. You can refer to the examples here to develop your own programs or compile a single test)
- warehouse (The schema and data required for running locally)
Create a UDF
Suppose our demand for the UDF is to convert the character strings into lower-case strings (the built-in function tolower has implemented this logic. Here we just use this simple demand to illustrate how to develop a UDF using MaxCompute Studio). MaxCompute Studio provides UDF|UDAF|UDTF|Mapper|Reducer|Driver templates. As a result, you only need to compile your own business code and the framework code will be automatically filled in by the templates.
- 1. Right click the src directory, and select New > MaxCompute Java.
- 2. Input the class name, such as myudf.MyLower, and select the kind. Here we choose UDF. Click OK.
- 3. The framework code has been automatically filled in by the template. We only need to compile the function code for converting the character strings into lower-case strings.
Test the UDF
After a UDF or a MapReduce program is developed, the next step is to test your code and check whether it meets the expectation. MaxCompute Studio provides two testing methods:
The Local Run framework provided by MaxCompute is dependent on, and you only need to provide the input data as you do for writing a common single test, and assert the output to conveniently test your own UDF or MapReduce program. There are various single test examples in the examples directory and you can refer to them to compile your unit test. Here we create a new MyLowerTest testing class to test our MyLower:
Sample data testing
Many users have requested to sample some data from online tables to the local machine for testing. MaxCompute Studio also supports this feature. In Editor > UDF kind, right click MyLower.java, click Run menu, and the Run/Debug Configurations dialog box pops up. Configure MaxCompute project, MaxCompute table and Table columns. Here we want to convert the name fields of Table hy_test to lower case:
Click OK, and MaxCompute Studio will first automatically download the sample data from the table through the tunnel to the local warehouse (the highlighted data files in the figure), and then read the data of the specified column and run the UDF locally. You can see the log output and printed result in the console:
Release a UDF
Okay. Our MyLower.java has passed the test. Next we will package it into a JAR resource (this step can be performed using IDE by referring to the user manual) and upload it to the MaxComptute server end:
- 1. In MaxCompute menu, select the Add Resource item:
- 2. Select the MaxCompute project you want to upload the resource to, the JAR file path, the resource name you want to register, and determine whether to force update when the resource or function already exists. Then click OK.
- 3. After the JAR package is successfully uploaded, you can proceed to register the UDF. In the MaxCompute menu, select the Create Function item.
- 4. Select the JAR resource you want to use, select the main class (MaxCompute Studio will automatically parse the main classes contained in the JAR resource for you to choose from), enter the function name and click OK.
Production and usage
The successfully uploaded JAR resource and registered function (you can see this timely in the Resources and Functions nodes of the corresponding project in the Project Explorer, or you can double click the node to display the decompilation source code) are ready for real production and usage. We can open the SQL editor of MaxCompute Studio and enjoy using the mylower function that we just write. The syntax highlighting and display of function signatures are a piece of cake:
MaxCompute Studio's support for MapReduce development process is similar to UDF development. The main differences include:
- The MapReduce program applies to the whole table and the input and output tables are specified in the Driver. So if you use sample data for testing, you only need to specify the project in Run/Debug Configurations.
- After a MapReduce program is developed, you only need to package it into a JAR resource and upload it, without the need to register the program.
- To run the MapReduce program in a real production environment, you can achieve this on the console that has been seamlessly integrated to the MaxCompute Studio. The specific steps are: in the Project Explorer window, right click Project, select Open in Console, and then input the commands similar to the follows in the console command line:
jar -libjars wordcount.jar -classpath D:\odps\clt\wordcount.jar com.aliyun.odps.examples.mr.WordCount wc_in wc_out;

Undermining is tissue breakdown that extends underneath intact skin along wound edges (margins). It is caused by shearing forces and can result in skin breakdown around the entire wound perimeter or at various locations around the wound perimeter. Due to the variable locations where undermining can occur, clinicians should always document and measure the depth and direction of the undermining.
1. Assess for undermining.
- Start at top of wound (12:00). (Consider a wound as the face of a clock, where "12:00" points to patient's head and "6:00" points to the patient's feet.)
- Use a cotton tip applicator and gently probe around wound edges in a clockwise direction. 2. Once undermining has been identified, insert applicator into the area.
3. Grasp applicator where it meets the wound edge using thumb and forefinger.
4. Withdraw applicator while maintaining thumb and forefinger in position.
5. Measure from the tip of applicator to wound position using a centimeter ruler.
6. Measure and document the deepest area(s). (Note there should be a beginning point and ending point.)
7. Document findings by referencing the "Clock System." Examples of documentation:
- Generalized documentation – 4 centimeters (cm) undermining noted from 6:00 – 10:00
- Specific – Undermining noted from 6-10:00, ranging from 2–4 cm, deepest area is 4 cm at 10:00
- More specific – Undermining noted along wound perimeter from 6–10:00; 6:00–2.8 cm; 7:00–2 cm; 8:00–3.6 cm; 9:00–2.5 cm; 10:00–4 cm


text: Given microscope images, one can observe 2D cross-sections of 3D micro anatomical structures with high spatial resolutions. Each of the 2D microscope images alone is, though, not suitable for studying the 3D anatomical structures and hence many works have been done on a 3D image reconstruction from a given series of microscope images of histological sections obtained from a single target tissue. For the 3D image reconstruction, an image registration technique is necessary because there exists the independent translation, rotation, and non-rigid deformation of the histological sections. In this paper, a landmark-based method of fully non-rigid image registration for the 3D image reconstruction is proposed. The proposed method first detects landmarks corresponded between given images by using a template matching and then non-rigidly deforms the images so that the corresponding landmarks detected in different images are located along a single smooth curve in the reconstructed 3D image. Most of all conventional methods for the reconstruction of 3D microscope image registers two consecutive images at a time and many micro anatomical structures often have unnatural straight shape along the vertical (z) direction in the resultant 3D image because, roughly speaking, the conventional methods registers two given images so that pixels with the same coordinates in the two images have the same pixel value. The proposed method, on the other hand, determine the deformations of all given images by referring to the all images and deforms them simultaneously. In the experiments, a 3D microscope image of the pancreas of a KPC mouse was reconstructed from a series of microscope images of the histological sections.

Steel Cost Modelling Notes
The Steel Costing Model
The cost model shown above is prepared only to shown how liquid steel cost can be calculated through a simple cost benchmarking type approach. The predicted total costing shown is not meant to represent an actual cost for any real steel company. It is a notional figure only - albeit one that is built on fairly representative current input costing information.Input Costs
Key input costs are taken from the other pages shown on the steelonthenet.com website or estimated by our economists. Recent iron ore and coal prices can be found on our steelmaking costs page. Readers should note that the cost of carbon credits in Japan is well below that in developed countries. For discussion, see Reuters report. Analysis above was prepared in May 2023.The Steel Product
The steel product for which the cost is shown above is a metric tonne of BOF liquid steel. The cost is for a notional producer - a typical size integrated BOF plant, 3m t/yr, at a Japanese coastal site with its own coke and sinter plant, using imported ore and coal purchased at international prices with third party transport. The blast furnace is assumed to have PCI. The steel plant is assumed to make commodity grade carbon steel for flat products with average labour productivity. To prepare cost benchmarks for different locations or for specific producers please contact us (see below). Steel costs for the electric furnace steelmaking process route (EAF steelmaking) may be found on our EAF steelmaking costs page.The Business Environment
Site visitors are advised that all estimates shown should be adjusted to reflect the particular business environment in which the steel plant operates. Thus, electricity charges may be substantially cheaper than usual because the melt shop is run primarily at night (to benefit from cheaper night time tarrifs). Depreciation costs may be higher or lower depending on the age of the electric furnace and transformer. Labour productivity may also be substantially poorer than shown (especially in State owned plants prior to privatisation) etc.Accounting Methods
Actual costing estimates may also differ because of local accounting policies and practices. The figures above for example assume straight line depreciation over a 20 year asset lifetime. The estimates also assume that 25% of labour cost are fixed - whilst in practice, all costs will be variable over the longer term. The model above endeavours to present the economic data on the basis of standard management accounting practices - users of the model should however be clear that the model is likely to require adaptation for different accounting circumstances.
To estimate the impact of a change in any main input (iron ore, coal, coke, other steel raw materials, energy, or labour) on the total, fixed or variable production costs of any steel product (semi-finished; or flat, long, or pipe and tube finished steel products) made through either main production process route (integrated steel manufacturing or electric arc steelmaking), please email economists for assistance.
For earlier data, see 2022 BOF cost model.
Thinking about business restructuring? Are you perhaps on the road to privatisation? We have a lot of experience in metal business turnaround and would be pleased to assist you. Please contact us for a no-obligation discussion.

Kirk employs null-gravity combat against Tchar
Kirk fights Tchar using his null-gravity combat training
Zero-gravity combat training or null-gravity combat exercises were a part of standard Starfleet Academy training.
James T. Kirk and Spock conducted null-gravity combat exercises together aboard the USS Enterprise a week prior to going on the Vedala expedition.
They later employed some of their null-gravity combat training during the expedition to combat Tchar, after he activated a gravity neutralizer in the Skorr temple, forcing those on the expedition to "fly and fight as a Skorr." (TAS: "The Jihad")
In 2373/2063, when the crew of the USS Enterprise-E found out that that the Borg that had infested the ship were outside on the hull building an interplexing beacon on the ship's deflector dish, Captain Jean-Luc Picard asked Lieutenant Commander Worf if he had remembered his zero-g combat training. Worf revealed it made him sick to his stomach. Despite this, Picard, Worf and Hawk went onto the hull to stop the Borg. (Star Trek: First Contact)

The project seeks to encourage nonmotorized transportation to Auraria Higher Education Center, a campus shared by three institutions of higher learning in downtown Denver. Two pavilions were constructed to provide secure bicycle and skateboard storage, a place for commuters to fix their bikes, and public space for the community, including the students, faculty, and staff of the three colleges; patrons of the Auraria Library; the homeless community being served a daily lunch at St. Elizabeth's Church; and residents and visitors to the lower downtown area of Denver. Twenty-six students from ColoradoBuildingWorkshop designed and built the two pavilions.
The primary issues the project addresses are security, sustainability, and community. The building responds to the need for more secure bike and skateboard parking in the area. This project considered a multifaceted approach to sustainability that included tally software to assess carbon, design for disassembly, regional planting and rainwater diversion, and waste diversion.
The project also seeks to expand public space. The Curtis Street location reimagines a neglected plaza between the church and the campus library as a vibrant gathering space. The Larimer location near the new campus dormitories gives students a safe place to park their bikes overnight and public benches to mingle with their friends.
A diverse group of constituents—university planners, architects, landscape architects, police, maintenance and facilities staff, the campus COO, sustainability officers, and construction professionals—were actively involved from schematic design through construction. Students administered surveys, held public design sessions, and collected large quantities of data during predesign to guide their design decisions. One outcome of this collaboration was the police sharing valuable information on crime prevention through environmental design. Their critique over two separate design sessions helped inform the structures' transparency. Another example of collaboration was the innovative dry-stacked limestone louver assembly designed by the students with help from the structural engineer and a local stonemason.
There are three main components to the pavilions: secure storage, bike fix-it areas, and the public space. Miscellaneous bike parts can be found at both locations, showing use of the bike fix-it areas, but a more thorough postoccupancy evaluation will need to be conducted to assess full use of these areas. The social space, especially at the Curtis Street location, has been active and vibrant. It receives daily use from people eating lunch at St. Elizabeth's Church.


convert method Null safety
String convert(
 1. Object? object
)
override
Converts object to a JSON String.
Directly serializable values are num, String, bool, and Null, as well as some List and Map values. For List, the elements must all be serializable. For Map, the keys must be String and the values must be serializable.
If a value of any other type is attempted to be serialized, the toEncodable function provided in the constructor is called with the value as argument. The result, which must be a directly serializable value, is serialized instead of the original value.
If the conversion throws, or returns a value that is not directly serializable, a JsonUnsupportedObjectError exception is thrown. If the call throws, the error is caught and stored in the JsonUnsupportedObjectError's cause field.
If a List or Map contains a reference to itself, directly or through other lists or maps, it cannot be serialized and a JsonCyclicError is thrown.
object should not change during serialization.
If an object is serialized more than once, convert may cache the text for it. In other words, if the content of an object changes after it is first serialized, the new values may not be reflected in the result.
Implementation
String convert(Object? object) =>
 _JsonStringStringifier.stringify(object, _toEncodable, indent);

António Guterres, Honorary PhD, calls for a solitary response to the refugee crisis
During the appointment ceremony at the Universidad Europea, attended by Felipe González, who gave the citation address
The Universidad Europea Academic Council granted an Honorary PhD to António Guterres for his contribution to helping refugees, in recognition of his support for stateless people, and for safeguarding the rights of those forced to leave their country due to war, revolution or political persecution. Guterres gave a speech that focused on the refugee crisis in Europe in a context in which "the sovereignty agenda is gaining ground on the human rights agenda".
"In this context of a Europe that is incapable of coming together to solve this problem, we are witness to the sad spectacle of crowds crossing the Balkans from border to border. That image of chaos is the result of Europe's inability to organize itself to solve the problem, and it has created a current of rejection in public opinion that favors populism", explained the recently appointed Honorary PhD. He also believes that Europe's actions have set a bad example to other countries that look to "richer" countries; precisely those who have proven to be the least solitary with this humanitarian problem.
The ceremony citation address was given by Felipe González, President of the Spanish Government from _PHONE_. During his speech, he highlighted his friendship with the new Secretary General of the United Nations, who he has known for 25 years, and whom he has attributed "moderation" as one of his main characteristics, but noting that this moderation comes from "the strength of his convictions, his personality, tenacity and determination". González also said that "there are few candidates to lead the UN and the best has been chosen".
Guterres' investiture was requested by the School of Social Sciences and Communication for his leadership as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, a position he held until December 2015 (prior to his recent appointment as the new UN Secretary General for the period January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021).

How to cook rice in rice cooker
What is the ratio of rice to water in a rice cooker?
How do you cook white rice in a rice cooker?
Ingredient amounts in the recipe summary are for the default serving size. Wash rice. Wash 1 cup of rice in cold water. Add water. Add 1 cup of water. Cook. Place it in the rice cooker and select white rice (if there is an option). Serve. With a rice spatula, flip through the rice very gently.
How much water do I put in a rice cooker for 2 cups of rice?
Please note, I use the same measuring cup for BOTH rice and water in order for the ratios below to work. For any type of grain size (short, medium, or long) you can follow a 1:1 ratio of water to rice. If you want to add more rice, you can adjust the recipe in a similar way, 2 cups of rice to 2 cups of water.

the region between the labels, and perform a paste.
A final operation in cut and paste editing is the edit->clear operation. If a region is highlighted or in/out points exist, the affected region is cleared by edit->clear. But if the insertion point is over an edit boundary and the edits on each side of the edit boundary are the same resource, the edits are combined into one edit comprised by the resource. The start of this one edit is the start of the first edit and the end of this one edit is the end of the second edit. This either results in the edit expanding or shrinking.
With some edits on the timeline it's possible to do trimming. By trimming you shrink or grow the edit boundaries by dragging them. In either drag and drop mode or cut and paste mode, move the cursor over an edit boundary until it changes shape. The cursor will either be an expand left or an expand right. If the cursor is an expand left, the dragging operation affects the beginning of the edit. If the cursor is an expand right, the dragging operation affects the end of the edit.
When you click on an edit boundary to start dragging, the mouse button number determines which dragging behavior is going to be followed. 3 possible behaviors are bound to mouse buttons in the interface preferences. See INTERFACE.
The effect of each drag operation not only depends on the behavior button but whether the beginning or end of the edit is being dragged. When you release the mouse button, the trimming operation is performed.
In a Drag all following edits operation, the beginning of the edit either cuts data from the edit if you move it forward or pastes new data from before the edit if you move it backward. The end of the edit pastes data into the edit if you move it forward or cuts data from the end of the edit if you move it backward. All the edits thereafter shift. Finally, if you drag the end of the edit past the start of the edit, the edit is deleted.
In a Drag only one edit operation, the behavior is the same when you drag the beginning or end of an edit. The only difference is none of the other edits in the track shift. Instead, anything adjacent to the current edit expands or shrinks to fill gaps left by the drag operation.
In a Drag source only operation, nothing is cut or pasted. If you move the beginning or end of the edit forward, the source reference in the edit shifts forward. If you move the beginning or end of the edit backward, the source reference shifts backward. Where the edit appears in the timeline remains the same but the source shifts.
For all file formats besides still images, the extent of the trimming operation is clamped to the source file length. Attempting to drag the start of the edit beyond the start of the source clamps it to the source start.
In all trimming operations, all edits which start on the same position as the cursor when the drag operation begins are affected. Unarm tracks to prevent edits from getting affected.
Next: , Previous: EDITING, Up: Top
It would be sufficient to perform all changes to the timeline using editing operations, but this isn't very extensible. Certain timeline changes should produce a different effect in the output without involving a unique procedure to apply each change. This is why we have effects.
Effects fall into three categories, and each effect in a category is applied using the same procedure.
Some of the effects don't process data but synthesize data. In the case of a synthesis effect, you'll want to select a region of the track so the dragging operation pastes it without deleting it.
When dragging more than one effect onto a track, you'll see the effects layering from top to bottom, on the bottom of the track. When the track is played back, effects are processed from top to bottom. The output of the top effect becomes the input of the bottom effect and so on and so forth.
In addition to dragging from the resource window, there are 2 other methods of applying them:
When an effect exists under a track, it most often needs to be configured. Go to the effect and right click on it to bring up the effect popup. In the effect popup is a show option. The show option causes the GUI for the effect to appear under the cursor. Most effects have GUI's but some don't. If the effect doesn't have a GUI, nothing pops up when the show option is selected. When you tweek parameters in the effect GUI, the parameters normally effect the entire duration of the effect.
The two other effect types supported by the Attach Effect dialog are recycled effects. In order to use a recycled effect, three requiremenets must be met:
In the case of a shared effect, these conditions must be true. In the case of a shared track, there merely must be another track on the timeline of the same type as the track you're applying an effect to. If you right clicked on a video track to attach an effect, there won't be anything in the shared tracks column if no other video track exists. If you right clicked on an audio track there won't be anything in the shared track column if no other audio track exists.
Shared effects and shared tracks allow very unique things to be done. In the case of a shared effect, the shared effect is treated like a copy of the original effect except in the shared effect the GUI can't be brought up. All configuration of the shared effect is determined by the GUI of the original effect and only the GUI of the original effect can be brought up.
In addition, once the shared track has processed the output of the original track like a realtime effect, the shared track mixes itself into the output with it's settings for pan, mode, and projector. Thus, two tracks are mixing the same data on the output. Most of the time you don't want the shared track to mix the same data as the original track on the output. You want it to stop right before the mixing stage and give the data back to the original track. Do this by enabling the mutepatch_up.png mute toggle next to each track for whom you don't want to mix on the output.
Many operations exist for manipulating effects once they are in the timeline. Because mixing effects and media is such complex business, the methods used in editing effects aren't as concise as cutting and pasting. Some of the editing happens by dragging in/out points, some of the editing happens through popup menus, and some of it happens by dragging effects.
The three editing behaviors of track trimming apply to effect trimming and they are bound to the mouse buttons that you set in interface preferences. See INTERFACE. When you perform a trim edit on an effect, the effect boundary is moved by dragging on it. Unlike track editing, the effect has no source length. You can extend the end of an effect as much as desired without being limited.
Also unlike track editing, the starting position of the drag operation doesn't bind the edit decision to media. The media the effect is bound to doesn't follow effect edits. Other effects; however, do follow editing decisions made on an effect. If you drag the end of an effect which is lined up to effects on other tracks, the effects on the other tracks will be edited while the media stays the same.
In some cases you'll want a trimming operation to change only one row of effects. This can be achieved by first positioning the insertion point on the start or end of the effect. Then press shift while beginning the trimming operation. This causes the operation to change only one row of effects.
When you're moving effects up or down, be aware that if they're shared as shared effects, any references will be pointing to a different effect after the move operation.
Finally, there's dragging of effects. Dragging effects works just like dragging edits. You must select the arrow.png arrow to enter drag and drop mode before dragging effects. The effects snap to media boundaries, effect boundaries, and tracks. Be aware if you drag a reference to a shared effect, the reference will usually point to the wrong effect afterwards.
The rendered effects are not listed in the resource window but instead are accessed through the Audio->Render effect and Video->Render effect menu options. Each of these menu options brings up a dialog for the rendered effect. Rendered effects apply to only one type of track, either audio or video. If no tracks of the type exist, an error pops up.
A region of the timeline to apply the effect to must be defined before selecting Render effect.... If no in/out points and no highlighted region exists, the entire region after the insertion point is treated as the affected region. Otherwise, the region between the in/out points or the highlighted region is the affected region.
Secondly, the tracks to apply the rendered affect to need to be armed. All other tracks are ignored.
Finally, the rendered affect processes certain track attributes when it reads its input data but not others. Transitions in the affected track are applied. Nudge is not and effects are not. This allows the new data to be pasted into the existing position without changing the nudge value.
In the render effect dialog is a list of all the realtime and all the rendered effects. The difference here is that the realtime effects are rendered to disk and not applied under the track. Highlight an effect in the list to designate it as the one being performed.
Define a file to render the effect to in the Select a file to render to box. The magnify.png magnifying glass allows file selection from a list.
Select a file format which can handle the track type. The wrench.png wrench allows configuration specific to the file format.
Finally there is an insertion strategy just like in the render dialog. It should be noted that even though the effect applies only to audio or video, the insertion strategy applies to all tracks just like a clipboard operation.

What are the top 5 wheelchair facts that are important? For individuals who are disabled or physically challenged, an electric wheelchair can prove to be very useful if they wish to regain some of their mobility.
In addition to the top 5 wheelchair facts is our top 10 Karman wheelchairs.
Furthermore, a wheelchair provides the disabled individual with the opportunity to enjoy life with their friends and family doing otherwise impossible activities.
Electric wheelchair users can enjoy going to the parks or partaking in regular chores like grocery shopping. As electric wheelchairs do not require a lot of physical exertion, they are quite easy to use and provide individuals with greater freedom.
Below we have mentioned the five most interesting electric wheelchair facts that you should know about:
1. Alright, let's begin with wheelchair facts by learning about the inventor of the wheelchair, who is known by the name of George Klein. This is one of the top 5 wheelchair facts we will go over.
During World War II, George Klein saw several veterans as well as civilians with severe injuries.
Furthermore, after seeing all the injured people there like that, later on, inspired him to work on creating the world's first-ever wheelchair.
2. Modern electric wheelchairs have several benefits. They can also be adjusted as per the needs of the user. For instance, some of the wheelchairs have tilting seats that can help the user in standing up.
Whereas other electric wheelchair models are designed with the ability to recline.
However, some of them even support the elevation of the seat as well as the legs.
3. Speaking of the wheelchair facts, let's not forget that the record for the longest distance covered by a motorized wheelchair in just 24 hours was achieved by Jackie Weeden.
Moreover, he tracked 13 hours while it took him 50 minutes to cover 154 miles.
Moreover, another world record of the fastest wheelchair marathon racer. It was set by Josh Cassidy. He rode his wheelchair round the Boston Marathon in 1 hour, 18 minutes, and 25 seconds.
4. A 47-year-old disabled UAE citizen, Haidar Taleb, designed a solar-powered wheelchair for a 200-mile trek. Taleb's journey began on November 22, 2010. He traveled across all of the seven emirates. He developed the solar-power wheelchairs in collaboration with a renewable energy company based in Abu Dhabi by the name of Masdar. The wheelchair can function at a maximum speed of about 9 to 12 mph. This is pretty fast. Typically 5 mph is recommended.
It has been designed with enough battery capacity to continue functioning for up to six hours. Even after the sun sets behind the clouds. Most wheelchairs now go 15-20 miles. We are now rounding up to our top 5 wheelchair facts.
Lastly, as our last and final top 5 wheelchair fact
5. Here is number 5.
Another interesting wheelchair fact is related to the international wheelchair sports.
It wasn't until the Rome Olympics in 1960, where the very first sports event for disabled athletes was organized.
Previously, the athletes used old conventional wheelchairs.
Moreoever, the races were only organized to cover a distance of up to 200 meters. It was in the year 1975 in a Boston Marathon were the first-ever wheelchair marathon competitor raced
Top 10 Karman Healthcare Wheelchairs of 2020 - Best Reviews Guide
We hopt that adding our topo 10 Karman wheelchair it is a compliment to our top 5 wheelchair facts.
For individuals that are physically challenged, an electric wheelchair is an amazing tool for strengthening personal mobility.
In addition, it is important to provide appropriate wheelchairs to not only enhance mobility but also to begin the process of setting up a world of education, social, and work life.
Moreover, all thanks to the wheelchairs, disabled individuals can now also, along with other people, enjoy going to the parks and take part in regular activities such as grocery shopping and much more.
Along with providing mobility aid to the user, an appropriate electric wheelchair benefits the physical and mental health.
It also benefits the quality of life of the users by reducing common issues such as blisters, pressure sores, a progression of any deformities.
Furthermore, it will be improving the respiratory and the digestive systems of the user.
In addition, an electric wheelchair provides the disabled with a chance to appreciate mobility. It really helps. The reason is because the energy can be substituted. We all need a little help sometimes. For the weak, this help translates to better health. Even take part in events and exercises with their friends and family.
Furthermore, electric wheelchair users can now do tasks that were once considered to be impossible because of their disability.
Whether it is as simple as going on a long walk or climbing on accessible trails. You want to stay healthy. You want to be outside. These things matter.
The invention of electric wheelchairs has made life significantly easier for disabled individuals, and the above facts prove just that. We also can go into power standing.

This type of Javanese dagger [keris] is named after Majapahit, the last great Javanese Hindu kingdom that declined in the late 15th century with the arrival of Islam. The prototype for this type of weapon, with hilt and blade created from one piece of tempered metal, is said to have developed in the Majapahit period. The crouching figure that forms the hilt, however, can be traced to a much earlier era. The keris Majapahit is not used as a weapon, rather it is its talismanic properties that protect its owner.

 The HList library
 A model of labels as needed for extensible records. As before,
 all the information about labels is recorded in their type, so
 the labels of records may be purely phantom. In general,
 Labels are exclusively type-level entities and have no run-time
 Record labels are triplets of type-level naturals, namespace,
 and description. The namespace part helps avoid confusions between
 labels from different Haskell modules. The description is
 an arbitrary nullary type constructor.
 For the sake of printing, the namespace part and the description
 are required to be the instance of Show. One must make sure that
 the show functions does not examine the value, as descr is purely phantom.
 Here's an example of the good Label description:
 data MyLabelDescr; instance Show MyLabelDescr where show _ = "descr"
 which obviously can be automated with Template Haskell.
 This model requires all labels in a record to inhabit the same namespace.
module Data.HList.Label2 where
import Data.HList.FakePrelude
import Data.HList.Record (ShowLabel(..))
-- Labels are type-level naturals
data HNat x => Label x ns desc -- labels are exclusively type-level entities

Mountain units ( Gebirgsjäger ) of the Bundeswehr still wear M43-style field caps, and are still referred to as Bergmütze . The caps have the "fake fold" mentioned above, and are issued in medium grey for enlisted personnel and a lighter grey with silver piping around the brim for officers. The Edelweiss is still on the left side of the cap above the ear, and the cockade and crossed-swords insignia are present on the front above the bill. Most modern M43 field caps are of a slightly different cut than the original M43, with a wider top, but still very similar to the Gebirgsjäger Bergmütze of World War II. Many modern German police units also use a variant of the M43. Additionally, all other army units wear a simplified version of the M43 cap, without the fold-down ear flaps, in standard Flecktarn camouflage with a BeVo cockade on the front. This is generally worn in the field instead of the Beret. There is also a version of lighter cloth in the desert variant of Flecktarn for use in tropical climates.
British army officers wore blue peaked caps as early as the Crimean War to distinguish themselves from enlisted men who wore the pillbox hat . The peaked caps were widely worn on campaign during the First and Second World Wars, until the more practical beret was popularised by generals like Bernard Montgomery . After the war, officers continued to wear khaki caps as part of the Number 2 dress uniform , but by the 1990s these had been phased out in favour of the dark blue and red caps previously worn with the Number 1 dress uniform .

- An Exhibition by Katheryn Leopoldseder
Drawing Out the Gold
You are invited to an immersive exhibition by Katheryn Leopoldseder
Within a hallowed sepulchre, accompanied by sound and earthy smell, lies an exquisite Crown of Golden Alfalfa.
Drawing Out the Gold looks beyond the harsh means by which the artist's materials are mined and pays homage to scientific innovations that instead offer us an alternative; a collaboration with the ingenuity of the natural world.
Witnessing the decimation of his childhood land through industrial gold mining, nano-scientist Jorge Gardea-Torresdey discovered that Alfalfa can mine alluvial gold through phytoremediation; drawing precious metal from the soil into its roots, stems and leaves.
The Crown adorns the head, symbolising a shift in thinking. Its flat underside encircles the head like a halo. A historic reference to haloes depicted in religious art. Symbolising illuminated wisdom and bestowed authority.
To wear the Crown, materialises the potential of a collaboration between nature and humanity; into a signifier of royal identity; as people capable of positive stewardship of the earth.
Opening: Saturday 7th September, 1-3pm

How To: Format a real number relation in a note?
SOLVED
Re: How To: Format a real number relation in a note?
Martin's getting sneaky trimming the digits as a string instead of a real number. This is a great trick... if only more people understood some of the nifty stuff you can do with relations. Unfortunately it's one of those rare arts that few seem to know about.
Martin is really giving a goldmine of information here but you have to dig deep to fully appreciate it.
The four functions Martin is using are:
 - FLOOR - rounds any real number down to the next closest value with the number of digits specified. The format is floor(real number,number of digits to round to)
 - ITOS - the "integer-to-string" function. The format is just itos(integer).
 - EXTRACT - grabs a portion of a string. The format is extract(string, start position, number of chars to extract)
 - STRING_LENGTH - provides the length of a string in characters. The format is string_length(string)
But you really have to examine the code to truly see the beauty here.
The itos function only converts integers to strings. It cannot handle decimal values (real numbers). If you wrote x = itos(12.98765) you'd end up with x="12". The decimal values would be discarded. Therefore, Martin's relations incorporate a thoughtful bit of math to handle this problem.
First, he sets the variable number_digits to 3. Then, first set a variable for the number digits after the decimal to preserve. He uses the floor function to round down the real number x which starts at 12.98765. Once this function has completed it's work, x is 12.987.
Next, Martin uses the itos function. He multiples 12.987 by 10 to the power of 3 (or 1000) to remove the decimals. Thus, once itos has done it's work, the value has changed from 12.987 to "12987" (now a string with the decimal removed)
In the last line of the relations, Martin uses extract and the string_length functions together. This final line writes out the first two characters of the string "12987" which are just "12". Next a dot (.) is written out. Finally, the last 3 characters of the string ("987") are written. Together this is "12.987" which completes the conversion from 3 digit real number to string".
The whole thing is very, very clever. Thanks for posting this Martin.
Thanks!
-Brian
PS: There's one very slight problem though... I'll leave it to any curious readers to figure it out. Here's a hint... it has to do with the "6" in the original value of x which was 12.98765 Maybe someone will catch it and demonstrate the fix.
Re: How To: Format a real number relation in a note?
Oh, I definitely appreciate Martin's approach. In the day, I was very into programming DBASE III and IV and completely understand the approach and even the syntax.
The use of "FLOOR" might be a bit troubling since a "ROUND" should be available to round to either the "even principle" or the conventional 1-4=down and 5-9=up. But even thsat could be "relationed" to resolution.
Why a "new empty part"?
This stuff has to be written somewhere; No?
Re: How To: Format a real number relation in a note?
Yep... the use of Floor was the "one very slight problem". Martin could've incorporated a test to do the rounding better. As it stands 12.98765 rounds to 12.987 when it should round to 12.988. A simple if/then/else test and the addition of the CEIL command could resolve this.
But that's just being nitpicky...
Re: How To: Format a real number relation in a note?
Brian, I'd love to hear this from the "horse's mouth" so to speak...
Quite some time ago, I heard it was NASA that came up with the Round "5" to Even rule. Is this a fact?
n.nn5 round to n.nn(even) where n.nn(1-4) rounds down and n.nn(6-9) round up.
And where does that leave n.nn51 in relation to n.nn?
Its a great rule but the source has remained ambiguous. I'd love to confirm this with references.

Re: How To: Format a real number relation in a note?
Antonius,
of course you can use relations in any part. I thought the most easiest method for testing is using "new empty part".
To implement the conventional 1-4=down and 5-9=up "ROUND" principle, it is necessary to modify relations slightly, see below.
/* input variables
number_digits=3
x=12.98799
x=x+5/10^(number_digits+1)
/* output variables
t1=floor(x,number_digits)
t2=itos(t1*10^number_digits)
t3=extract(t2,1,string_length(t2)-number_digits)+"."+extract(t2,string_length(t2)-number_digits+1,number_digits)

Re: How To: Format a real number relation in a note?
Very clever!
Re: How To: Format a real number relation in a note?
Yes indeed - adding 0.5 (or 0.0005, depending on the number of decimals you're rounding to) is a much neater technique than if/else. I've used that before with Excel's INT() function.
Re: How To: Format a real number relation in a note?
Unfortunately, "the horse" can neither confirm nor deny that NASA is responsible or the rounding rule you mentioned.
One of my children pulled me aside the other day and said: "Dad... is there life on other planets?" Of course I said "We don't know yet but we're looking... and personally I believe there is life on other planets just by the sheer mathematical probability. I think we'll eventually find it."
This seemed to be a reasonable and, I hoped, thoughtful answer. When I asked why the child wanted to know, he said: "Well Uncle Danny (a huge redneck related to my ex-wife) said NASA already has proof aliens exist but they keep it secret from everyone. Is that true?"
(Facepalm)

Now he's just showijng off.
Re: How To: Format a real number relation in a note?
I just caught this thread and was a little excited to see if PTC had actually added a much needed function. But alas .... no .... just another verification that they don't listen to the users.
We have been using this "trick" to convert parameters that are real numbers to notes in drawings since I started. The function we have asked for is RTOS (Real to String) with a way to control the number of decimals.
The actual answer to the posted question is .... there is no direct method .... just Martin's "trick".

Survey: 3 of 4 Parents Say Their Kids Are Spoiled by the Holidays
Do your kids get bratty at the holidays? If they do, you're not alone. Parenting and TODAY Moms surveyed more than 6,000 parents to find out how much they really spend on holiday gifts, if they feel pressure to buy everything their kids want, and how their kids respond to the onslaught of presents.
 - 3 out of 4 parents admit their kids are spoiled to some degree
 - 59% say their kids are more spoiled than they were as kids
 - Only 30% always require their kids to write thank-you notes
Plus: Kids' Worst Spoiled Brat Moments
Read the full results of the survey, including the jaw-dropping average amount of money parents spend on each kid at the holidays. Then tell us: do your kids ever exhibit less-than-grateful behavior at the holidays?
Also, join TODAY contributor and parenting expert Amy McCready, author of If I Have To Tell You One More Time, on TODAY Moms' Facebook page Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET for a live chat about how to un-spoil your children (or avoid spoiling them in the first place!).


text: Angular potentials play an important role in the refinement of protein structures through angle-dependent restraints (e.g., those determined by cross-correlated relaxations, residual dipolar couplings, and hydrogen bonds). Analytic derivatives of such angular potentials with respect to the dihedral angles of proteins would be useful for optimizing such restraints and other types of angular potentials (i.e., such as we are now introducing into protein structure prediction) but have not been described. In this article, analytic derivatives are calculated for four types of angular potentials and integrated with the efficient recursive derivative calculation methods of Gō and coworkers. The formulas are implemented in publicly available software and illustrated by refining a low-resolution protein structure with idealized vector-angle, dipolar-coupling, and hydrogen-bond restraints. The method is now being used routinely to optimize hydrogen-bonding potentials in ROSETTA.


Cdi Datavolumes
CDI DataVolumes
Containerized Data Importer (or CDI for short), is a data import service for Kubernetes designed with KubeVirt in mind. Thanks to CDI, we can now enjoy the addition of DataVolumes, which greatly improve the workflow of managing KubeVirt and its storage.
What it does
DataVolumes are an abstraction of the Kubernetes resource, PVC (Persistent Volume Claim) and it also leverages other CDI features to ease the process of importing data into a Kubernetes cluster.
DataVolumes can be defined by themselves or embedded within a VirtualMachine resource definition, the first method can be used to orchestrate events based on the DataVolume status phases while the second eases the process of providing storage for a VM.
How does it work?
In this blog post, I'd like to focus on the second method, embedding the information within a VirtualMachine definition, which might seem like the most immediate benefit of this feature. Let's get started!
Environment description
 - OpenShift
 For testing DataVolumes, I've spawned a new OpenShift cluster, using dynamic provisioning for storage running OpenShift Cloud Storage (GlusterFS), so the Persistent Volumes (PVs for short) are created on-demand. Other than that, it's a regular OpenShift cluster, running with a single master (also used for infrastructure components) and two compute nodes.
 - CDI
 We also need CDI, of course, CDI can be deployed either together with KubeVirt or independently, the instructions can be found in the project's GitHub repo.
 - KubeVirt
 Last but not least, we'll need KubeVirt to run the VMs that will make use of the DataVolumes.
Enabling DataVolumes feature
As of this writing, DataVolumes have to be enabled through a feature gate, for KubeVirt, this is achieved by creating the kubevirt-config ConfigMap on the namespace where KubeVirt has been deployed, by default kube-system.
Let's create the ConfigMap with the following definition:
---
apiVersion: v1
data:
 feature-gates: DataVolumes
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
 name: kubevirt-config
 namespace: kube-system
$ oc create -f kubevirt-config-cm.yml
Alternatively, the following one-liner can also be used to achieve the same result:
$ oc create configmap kubevirt-config --from-literal feature-gates=DataVolumes -n kube-system
If the ConfigMap was already present on the system, just use oc edit to add the DataVolumes feature gate under the data field like the YAML above.
If everything went as expected, we should see the following log lines on the virt-controller pods:
level=info timestamp=2018-10-09T08:16:53.602400Z pos=application.go:173 component=virt-controller msg="DataVolume integration enabled"
NOTE: It's worth noting the values in the ConfigMap are not dynamic, in the sense that virt-controller and virt-api will need to be restarted, scaling their deployments down and back up again, just remember to scale it up to the same number of replicas they previously had.
Creating a VirtualMachine embedding a DataVolume
Now that the cluster is ready to use the feature, let's have a look at our VirtualMachine definition, which includes a DataVolume.
apiVersion: _URL_
kind: VirtualMachine
metadata:
 labels:
 _URL_ testvm1
 name: testvm1
spec:
 dataVolumeTemplates:
 - metadata:
 name: centos7-dv
 spec:

 - name: cloudinitdisk
 volumeName: cloudinitvolume
 cdrom:
 bus: virtio
 resources:
 requests:
 memory: 8Gi
 volumes:
 - dataVolume:
 name: centos7-dv
 name: test-datavolume
 - cloudInitNoCloud:
 userData: |
 #cloud-config
 hostname: testvm1
 users:
 - name: kubevirt
 gecos: KubeVirt Project
 sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
 passwd: $6$JXbc3063IJir.e5h$ypMlYScNMlUtvQ8Il1ldZi/mat7wXTiRioGx6TQmJjTVMandKqr.jJfe99.QckyfH/JJ.OdvLb5/OrCa8ftLr.
 shell: /bin/bash
 home: /home/kubevirt
 lock_passwd: false
 name: cloudinitvolume
The new addition to a regular VirtualMachine definition is the dataVolumeTemplates block, which will trigger the import of the CentOS-7 cloud image defined on the url field, storing it on a PV, the resulting DataVolume will be named centos7-dv, being referenced on the volumes section, it will serve as the boot disk (disk0) for our VirtualMachine.
Going ahead and applying the above manifest to our cluster results in the following set of events:
 - The DataVolume is created, triggering the creation of a PVC and therefore, using the dynamic provisioning configured on the cluster, a PV is provisioned to satisfy the needs of the PVC.
 - An importer pod is started, this pod is the one actually downloading the image defined in the url field and storing it on the provisioned PV.
 - Once the image has been downloaded and stored, the DataVolume status changes to Succeeded, from that point the virt launcher controller will go ahead and schedule the VirtualMachine.
Taking a look to the resources created after applying the VirtualMachine manifest, we can see the following:
$ oc get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
importer-centos7-dv-t9zx2 0/1 Completed 0 11m
virt-launcher-testvm1-cpt8n 1/1 Running 0 8m
Let's look at the importer pod logs to understand what it did:
$ oc logs importer-centos7-dv-t9zx2

The Spice Mix Super Computer was a part of the Abandon Normal Devices in Manchester, England this weekend. The AND festival commissioned the Center for Genomic Gastronomy to create a new work inside a traveling caravan and this is what we made:
The Centre for Genomic Gastronomy had deigned a exciting new culinary commission, the Spice Mix Super-Computer! The Spice Mix Super-Computer is a massive mobile food machine, which allows users to create, print and taste a unique blend of spices from millions of possible combinations. First, plug into the bespoke Olfactory Synthesizer to combine and compare smells from our database of international spices. Then, choose your favorite spices and watch the computer process and interpret your selection. After the food-printing is complete, take your customized container of spice to the BetaTaster™ food counter and share your recipe and experience, and take home your spice mix to share with others.
Spices as Social Media
Spices are one of the oldest forms of long distance communication on the planet, but we do not usually treat them as information that can be combined and disseminated as a form of human-to-human communication. Digital technology has created opportunities for individuals to mix and share images and sounds across great distances, but not flavors and smells. This project assembles spices from all over the globe, allowing individuals to customize, mix and spread smell and taste messages with other humans.
The Spice Mix Super-Computer is designed to record and store every possible spice combination, analyzing user preferences and patterns along the way. We hope this data will begin to reveal the underlying structures and the role of spices in the agri-eco-culinary system. Are combinations of spices strange attractors, naturally aligning, or can we open our mouths and minds to novel combinations of smell, taste and chemical reaction?
Spices Change Minds
But be careful: spices are dead and dried plant corpses with the substantial power to direct and regulate human activity. Many spices come from poisonous plants, and have powerful physical and mental effects on humans. If you are mixed up with spices how do you know they are not using you to achieve their dark designs? Might a heretofore untasted spice combination unlock a door to unexpected culinary experiences and states of consciousness? There are not enough BetaTasters™ on the planet asking these questions. The Spice Mix Super Computer can help.


How does First to File affect multiple inventors?
How does first to file affect multiple inventors?
It used to be that if an author/inventor was not listed on the patent the author could lose the patent rights due to the multiple inventor rule.
For example, Advanced Magnetic Closures, Inc. v. Rome Fasteners Corp., 607 F.3d 817 (Fed. Cir. 2010).

1entire case was misrepresentation by inventor and not allowing the original inventor its right. first to file is something different, good question we need some time to comeup with quality answer. – Pushpak – 2015-04-18T11:25:09.380
First to File doesn't have any impact.
Magnetic Closures was about inequitable conduct, effectively deliberately lying to the Patent Office about the inventorship of an application. Inequitable conduct can invalidate a patent. This rule hasn't changed.
Another part of the AIA did impact inventorship, and made correction of inventorship simpler: However, this doesn't enable correction of inventorship where the initial false claim was deliberate.

Bintari 90 MM
Bintari was inspired by the combination of kawung batik and flora batik. In Javanese culture, the geometrically arranged Kawung motif is interpreted as a symbol of the occurrence of human life. The hope is that humans will not forget their origins. In addition, the Kawung batik motif is also known as a symbol of wisdom, self-control, and a clean heart. The flora is the rose guava flower, where rose guava is one of the typical flora of Yogyakarta.

ISO 389-1:2017 specifies a standard reference zero for the scale of hearing threshold level applicable to pure-tone air conduction audiometers, to promote agreement and uniformity in the expression of hearing threshold level measurements throughout the world.
ISO 389-1:2017 states the information in a form suitable for direct application to the calibration of audiometers, that is, in terms of the reference equivalent threshold sound pressure levels of generic supra-aural earphones specified in 4.2, measured on an ear simulator complying with IEC 60318‑1 and in terms of model-specific data given in two additional tables for the IEC 60318‑3 acoustic coupler and the IEC 60318‑1 ear simulator, respectively.
The data are based on an assessment of the information available from the various standardizing laboratories responsible for audiometric standards and from scientific publications.
Some notes on the application and derivation of the reference levels are given in Annexes A and B.
