A frankincense producing tree from Ethiopia. Forms nice succulent base with petite leaves. Great natural bonsai and highly aromatic. 4" pot size, seed grown. Shipped bare root.
These plants enter a shock reaction when they are shipped. In nature, when the plant experiences any stress (drought, cold, etc) they shed their leaves because the expense to the plant is too great in hard times. It is a normal, healthy reaction and ensures their survival in the wild. Being placed bare root in a dark box is a stressful situation. However, the plants can be coaxed out of this state with ample watering and filtered light until they come out of shock. Please pot and water these right away to convince them it's safe to leaf out!

|Configuring Geronimo Eclipse Plugin to publish POJO projects as Shared Libraries||Configuring your development environment|
This tutorial will demonstrate the usage of Eclipse XML tools to generated Geronimo specific deployment plans.
We DO encourage users to leverage GEP for schema validation, because GEP has already integrated these schema files in its distribution package. The steps described in this article are only for your reference.
You might be experiencing certain XML validation problems when using Geronimo Deployment Plan Editor in Eclipse v3.5(Galileo), it's a known defect of the Xerces feature in WTP. Try the following workaround in Eclipse v3.5 to avoid the problem:
- In the toolbar, select Windows->Preferences
- Expand XML section, and then select XML Files->Validation
- Uncheck the Honour all the XML schema locations option, and then save all the changes.
To run this tutorial, as a minimum you will be required to have installed the following prerequisite software.
- Sun JDK 5.0+ (J2SE 1.5)
- Eclipse 3.4.1 (Eclipse Ganymede SR1 distribution)
- Apache Geronimo v2.2
Details on installing eclipse are provided in the Development environment section. This tutorial is organized in the following sections:
Configuring Eclipse for geronimo schema
- Geronimo schema files can be found in /schema. Copy all these schema files to a folder say geronimoschema. Content of these files might be different by release.
- Add the following XML catalog file to this folder and zip it. This will give you a
- Launch Eclipse and select New->Project as shown in the figure.
- On the next screen select General->Project. Select Next.
- Name the project as geronimoschema and Select Finish.
- Under Project explorer right click on geronimoschema project and select Import. Then select General->Archive File. Select Next.
- On the next screen Browse to
geronimoschema.zipcreated in step #2. Once done select Finish.
- Under the geronimoschema project you can see all the schema definitions.
- Next select Window->Preferences from Eclipse menu.
- On the next window select XML->XML Catalog. Select User Specified Entries and click Add.
- On the next window click the icon beside Location and select workspace.
- Select GeronimoSchema.xmlcatalog. Select OK.
- Specify the key, for example, geronimoschema.
- On the next screen you can see geronimoschema listed.
Using the configuration in application development
- For the next steps we will consider the Stateless Session Bean project.
- Consider the Few More Configurations section in the above tutorial where you have to add a dependency element for database pool.
- In StatelessSessionEJB select ejbModule->META-INF->openejb-jar.xml. Right click and select Open With->XML Editor.
- Once you have the openejb-jar.xml select Design tab.
- You can edit the fields by double clicking against each fields.
- Once done open the source tab you can see the dependency element added to openejb-jar.xml.
This completes the illustration of using Eclipse xml tools for Apache Geronimo.

- A Prehistoric evergreen that keeps coming back to life!
- Grows in one day! Unconditionally guaranteed to grow!
- Can "sleep" for fifty years and spring back to life in one day!
Take the amazing Dinosaur Plant out of its home for days, months, even years-then give it water, and it will ROAR back to life!
The Amazing Dinosaur Plant is one of the longest-living plants in the world! This plant actually lived when the first dinosaurs emerged. At that time, this plant would grow to over 120 feet, taller than even a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
When the ice age came, the Dinosaur Plant had to mutate and get really small. In order to survive, it learned how to blow onto dry land and sleep, waiting for water. Usually the plant drifted around until it stumbled into a puddle. Then the plant "drank" greedily, and went back sleep until it found the next puddle.
The Dinosaur Plant is very easy to care for. All it needs is a little water and some occasional sleep. Simply place the plant in its bowl with New Mexico lava rock (included), pour some water on the plant and it will spring to life within one day! If you let the Dinosaur Plant dry out, it will shrink back to its sleeping state. It can sleep for up to fifty years and will still rise when you place it in water! A fun project for the entire family to enjoy!
The Amazing Dinosaur Plant includes a live plant, bag of genuine volcanic lava rock, display bowl, and instructions. Appropriate for ages 4+. Dinosuar Plant Instructions

Frame Image Management: Onboarding and Configuring SaaS Applications

Frame Image Management: Onboarding and Configuring SaaS Applications
Scenario: As a customer, you want to use Frame to provide access to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. SaaS applications are also known as web-based software applications, meaning your main form of access to the application is through a web browser, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. You want to utilize the Application Experience to provide these applications to your users. With Frame, how do you accomplish this?
This series of blogs is around Frame Image Management. Image Management is "How do I set up my environment in the most optimal way, to minimize the number of images I have to manage?". This blog will cover a common virtual desktop use case to provide SaaS applications to users.
Why are SaaS applications different than any other application?
With most applications, installing and onboarding them is as simple as is documented. SaaS applications are a different breed, since they usually work off of the same root application, the web browser. With Frame, onboarding an application is based upon the executable, and only one listing of the onboarded application will be visible in the Sandbox page on the Dashboard. For the example we show below, we will be using Google Chrome as the web browser.
Sandbox and Chrome Browser (Onboarded)
So, you have multiple use cases for one executable inside your Frame environment, but can only onboard each executable once. What do you do? Luckily, there is a way to accomplish what you need, although it's a little more complex than may be apparent at first glance.
The basics of what you need to do is actually very simple - use multiple executables. Bear with me here. During the onboarding process of an application, Frame grabs pertinent information of the application, such as executable name, and provides this information to you on the Sandbox page of the Dashboard.
Onboarded Chrome Browser Settings
Once the application onboarding is complete, the onboarded application is simply an entry in the Frame control plane database and is not tied to the executable in the Sandbox. Its only purpose is to tie your desires as the administrator to how Frame uses the application.
What does this mean? Well, it means you can onboard an application unrelated to the browser, such as PowerShell. Once that application exists within Frame as an onboarded application, you can edit the application however you wish, including changing the executable being used. In the example below, the path to the Chrome executable is configured.
Onboarded PowerShell Settings
Alright, I understand, now what?
Now that we've broken down what needs to be done, let's talk about how to actually do what you are looking to do. While you could definitely find multiple executables, you won't be using and onboard them, changing them all to match the applications you need. This way is a little cumbersome and could potentially cause problems in the future.
So, what's the best way to do this? While you still need multiple executables, it doesn't have to be different applications. You can make multiple copies of the primary executable and onboard those executables. Then, once onboarded, you can delete the additional executables as you won't need them anymore.
Multiple Chrome Executables with Different Names
Now, from the Sandbox page on the Dashboard, you would just change each of the onboarded applications to match the primary executable location and file name (e.g,. Chrome), but have a different display name, icon (if desired) and parameters. The parameter modification is especially important, as that's how you distinguish the URL that opens Google Chrome specifically to the SaaS website, rather than a default.
Chrome Executable Settings with Defined URL
At this point, the executables that were created inside the Sandbox for onboarding purposes are no longer necessary and can be deleted.
What's Next?
In this blog, we covered a common ask by Frame customers, providing a way for their users to access SaaS applications through Frame. Next, we will be covering another image management technique used in customer environments to install per-user persistent applications in a non-persistent workload.

Slurry sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of palladium in water using biosorption with inactive baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Inactive cells of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used for palladium preconcentration. The conditions for biosorption of palladium and its determination in yeast cells by slurry electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) were optimised. The best sensitivity of measurements and stability of slurry were obtained by using a mechanical agitation (10 minutes) and a mixture of 0.3 mol l−1 thiourea – 1 mol l−1 HCl – 0.5% Triton X-100 as suspension medium. The repeatability of the measurements of Pd in yeast slurry was 6.5% (n = 10). For the quantification of analyte in spiked water samples, the standard addition method was used.

What are the reasons for the aging and rupture of the conveyer belt?
- Mar 12, 2018 -
 Sometimes, in order to prevent production line from failure, the enterprises sometimes purchase the conveyor belt and store it in advance to prevent it. However, the conveyor belt is not used for a long time, which will cause the rupture of the conveyor belt as follows:
1, the conveyer belt and the chemical reaction in the air, if an antioxidant has terminated active free radical function but also has the function of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, also can produce synergistic effect, this synergistic effect is called self synergistic effect, some long-term antioxidant, and has the characteristics of containing elements for two different functions group;
2, ozone and belt chemical reaction, ozone is one of the important factors that cause the rubber in the atmosphere aging, ozone is more active than oxygen, so it is especially for the conveying belt of the unsaturated rubber invasion was more serious than that of oxygen, ozone in the air is composed of oxygen absorption in the short wavelength ultraviolet sunlight after the decomposition of oxygen atoms to combine with oxygen molecules and with vertical air flow, ozone was brought to the surface of the earth, the ozone concentration from the upper to the ground gradually reduced.
 In addition, in the near UV on the premises, place of discharge and motor, especially the spark will produce ozone, different regions, different ozone concentrations in different seasons, the concentration of ozone is different, although the ozone concentration near the ground is very low, but the harm is caused by the rubber can not be ignored.
3. The appearance of ozonization and ozonation of unsaturated rubber is very easy, which is different from that of thermal oxygen aging.
 One is the surface layer of ozonation rubber only contact in ozone, the conveyor belt ozonation process is from the outside to the inside.
Second is the reaction of ozone with rubber to form a layer of silver white hard under the static conditions of this membrane can prevent ozone deep contact with rubber, but in dynamic strain conditions or in the static state when the rubber tensile elongation or tensile stress exceeds its critical elongation or the critical stress, the membrane can lead to cracking so, the ozone to contact the surface of rubber conveyor belt to new, ozonation and the crack growth, and crack due to the base of the stress concentration, so it is easier to deepen the crack and the formation of cracks, the crack belt in the direction perpendicular to the direction of stress, in general, only a small amount of crack under small strain clearly, the direction of the crack.

AngularJS Question
Jasmine - How to test errors?
THE SITUATION:
Hello guys. I am learning jasmine to test my angular app.
I have create a basic function that does multiply two numbers.
If the parameters given are not a number, the function throw an error.
I then made two very basic tests.
The first to check if the function properly multiply the numbers.
The second to check if the function properly throw an error if a string is given as parameter.
The first test pass, the second not. And i don't understand why.
THE CODE:
The function:
function Multiply( num1, num2 )
{
var result;
if (isNaN(num1) || isNaN(num2))
{
throw new Error("not a number");
}
else
{
result = num1 * num2;
return result;
}
}
The spec:
describe('The function', function ()
{
it('properly multiply two numbers', function ()
{
result = Multiply(10, 5);
expect(result).toEqual(50);
});
it('throw an error if a parameter is not a number', function ()
{
result = Multiply(10, 'aaaa');
expect(result).toThrow(new Error("not a number"));
});
});
THE OUTPUT:
2 specs, 1 failure
Spec List | Failures
The function throw an error if a parameter is not a number
Error: not a number
Error: not a number
at Multiply (http://localhost/jasmine_test/src/app.js:8:9)
If i understand properly Jasmine. Both test should pass, because in the second case the function throw the error as we expected.
THE QUESTION:
How can i test if a function properly throw an error?
EDIT:
I am trying this new code, but is still not working:
describe('The function', function ()
{
it('throw an error if a parameter is not a number', function ()
{
expect(function() { Multiply(10, 'aaaa') }).toThrowError(new Error("not a number"));
});
});
OUTPUT:
2 specs, 1 failure
Spec List | Failures
The function throw an error if a parameter is not a number
Error: Expected is not an Error, string, or RegExp.
Answer
If I understand correctly you need to pass a function into the expect(...) call.
The code you have here:
expect(result).toThrow(new Error("not a number"));
Is checking the result of Multiply, which when it works is fine, but like I said .toThrow() expects a function, I'd use an anonymous function instead, see below:
expect( function(){ Multiply(10, 'aaaa'); } ).toThrow(new Error("not a number"));
EDIT: Did a quick search and this blog post is a very detailed explanation of what I am trying to say.

Resources to Use With Students
What happens during my Confirmation?
This Youtube video from the Archdiocese of Brisbane briefly explains what happens during and the meaning behind the sacrament of Confirmation. This resource could be shown as an introduction to parents or children at the beginning of a sacramental program or unit on Confirmation. Certain parts of the video may need to be explain to children, depending on the age and prior knowledge of students.
Confirmation Facts Foldable
This resource has been developed by a teacher named Katie, who shares her content on the blog 'Look at Him and Be Radiant'. Katie provides steps on how to create this Confirmation foldable with students. The activity addresses:
- What the sacrament of Confirmation is
- How the sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated
- What signs and symbols are associated with Confirmation
- What the gifts of the Holy Spirit are
Katie gives an outline for how she has used this resource in her classroom. However, it could be easily adapted and differentiated for students. This activity could also be used as an assessment of student understanding.
Resources for Teachers
Learning Byte: The Holy Spirit
This website has been created for Year 5 teachers in the Brisbane Archdiocese. The resource provides background information on the sacrament of Confirmation for teachers. In this section, it links Baptism and the Holy Spirit with Confirmation.
The website also explores ways to teach about the sacrament of Confirmation in the 'Learning Experiences' section. There are three main learning experiences:
- Who or What is the Holy Spirit?
- The Spirit Active in the Lives of Believers
- The Spirit Active in the Formation of Conscience
Under each learning experience, a plethora of activities and resources are provided for teachers.
Learning Byte: Community of Believers
This website has been created for Year 5 teachers in the Brisbane Archdiocese.
The resource provides background information on the identity of the Church and its community for teachers. This is important, as Confirmation calls Catholics to be members of the Church.
The website also explores ways to teach about the Church community in the 'Learning Experiences' section. The most relevant section would be 'What is a community of believers?'. Under each learning experience, a plethora of activities and resources are provided for teachers.
More Learning Bytes can be found here.

This is a convenient resource for educators who need a quick explanation of the Confirmation symbols and rituals.


Oxygen evolution by a reconstituted spinach chloroplast system in the presence ofl-glutamine and 2-oxoglutarate
Abstract
Intact chloroplasts prepared from summer-grown spinach plants supported (aspartate plus 2-oxoglutarate)-dependent O2 evolution but not (glutamine plus 2-oxoglutarate)-dependent O2 evolution. The former activity, which was sensitive to amino oxyacetate, was attributed to transaminase activity and reduction of the resulting oxalo-acetate to malate using H2O… (More)

Interview: Sharni Burstin and Sara Caplan - PwC's Skills for Australia
Pathways14 themes are inclusive, innovative and ingenuity, can you tell us about your work and research related to this?
The Inclusion of People with Disability in VET project is the first time government and industry have come together to explore how the development of training packages could increase the participation of people with disability in VET and the workplace.
This cross sector project aims to equip vocational educators, employers and customer service providers with the skills and knowledge they need to better include people with disability in education, employment and service contexts.
The project is one of several, pioneering the Australian Industry and Skills Committee's (AISC's) new approach to setting national competency standards in vocational education and training (VET). 'Cross-sector' projects are intended to reduce duplication in the sector by addressing common skills needs across industry as a whole, developing new training products that can be implemented across a wide range of qualifications.
The ultimate objective is to increase education and employment opportunities for people with disability across all economic sectors by addressing skill and knowledge gaps across multiple industry sectors.
PwC's Skills for Australia conducted significant consultation about inclusion of people with disability in Vocational Education and Training. Why was this consultation necessary and what themes emerged through your work?
All of PwC's Skills for Australia's projects require extensive consultation, to ensure that our training system meets the needs of employers, learners and rapidly-changing workplace environments.
In this Inclusion of People with Disability project, there were many voices that needed to be heard in order to ensure a holistic and complete approach to achieving the project's objectives. Consultation had to include people with disability, disability support providers, employers, training providers, advocacy groups, government representatives and more. As a national project, it was imperative that consultations spanned all states and territories, as well as different industries and perspectives on disability. Disability is diverse, and therefore so too needed to be the input into the project's findings.
- Interestingly, significant commonalities were identified across the large number of industries, disability support contexts and individuals who were engaged. Key themes that emerged included:
- A lack of understanding of the breadth of disability and the capabilities of people with disability.
- Skill gaps in communication, implementing reasonable adjustments, and adapting flexible work and learning practices to address individual need.
- The need for greater understanding of the benefits of inclusive practice, as well as the availability of support and resources available to foster inclusion.
From your findings, what are the practical implications for the VET Sector, for employers and for people with disability?
The intended outcome for the project is to introduce new training products into the VET sector, to equip employers, educators and service providers with the skills and knowledge they need to support and include people with disability. These training products will be included in relevant qualifications across various industries (e.g. for workers across different industry sectors).
The intended impact is to provide people with disability more opportunities to successfully complete VET qualifications, find employment in sectors aligned to their personal goals and capabilities, and access services like all members of society.
Sara you're a member of the COAG STEM Skills Partnership Forum which is a collaborative action until the National STEM School Education Strategy 2016-2026, what are the goals of this Forum?
The Forum brought together senior leaders from industry and the education sector to lead and facilitate a more strategic national approach to STEM education. Participation in the Forum gave us an opportunity to improve partnerships between industry and the school sector to help drive the engagement, aspiration, capability and attainment of Australian students within STEM disciplines. The Forum focused on three areas: Careers Awareness, Teacher Professional Development and Outcomes and Impact. Forum members met a number of times last year culminating in releasing an issues paper. Written submissions were invited and consultations were conducted in most states and territories. The final report, Optimising STEM Industry-School Partnerships: Inspiring Australia's Next Generation was released in April this year.
Sharni you led the Inclusion of People with Disability in VET Cross Sector Project involving large amounts of consultation, did you find any common themes emerge during this process?
As mentioned above, strong common themes definitely emerged across states and territories and consulted stakeholder groups. To me, three themes that really stood out were:
- Taking a 'person-centred approach': recognising each person as a unique individual with their own strengths, support needs, capabilities and interests
- Promoting understanding and open dialogue: speaking openly and honestly about what people with disability offer society, what support they need to succeed, and the value that inclusive practice provides to all parties involved.
- Being willing to explore just how easy and simple inclusive practice can be: inclusion does not have to be complex, expensive or scary. Often times, becoming flexible and more accessible to accommodate the various needs of different individuals can be a simpler process than expected, and provide more benefits than anticipated.
What issues do you think higher education students in Australia are facing today? How are higher education institutions helping or hindering those issues?
Our project focused predominantly on the VET sector, and not higher education. However, a few issues that emerged as potentially common across sectors included
- Student reluctance to disclose their disability and/or support needs to the institution, due to fears of prejudice or stigma, and concerns over how information provided is used and shared.
- Instigated support services and processes may not be clearly advertised and visible to students. Processes can also be complex and not always student-friendly.
- Limited educational resources; limiting the skills, time and specialist support educators need to promote positive learning outcomes for individuals with disability in their cohorts.
What skills do you hope to people who attend your session leave with?
We hope that those who attend our session will begin to identify where VET can be implemented across their industries, to support the development of skills and knowledge, to pave the way for future equal access and inclusion opportunities for people with disability.

Trees in seasonal climates may use water originating from both winter and summer precipitation. However, the seasonal origins of water used by trees have not been systematically studied. We used stable isotopes of water to compare the seasonal origins of water found in three common tree species across 24 Swiss forest sites sampled in two different years. Water from winter precipitation was observed in trees at most sites, even at the peak of summer, although the relative representation of seasonal sources differed by species. However, the representation of winter precipitation in trees decreased with site mean annual precipitation in both years; additionally, it was generally lower in the cooler and wetter year. Together, these relationships show that precipitation amount influenced the seasonal origin of water taken up by trees across both time and space. These results suggest higher turnover of the plant-available soil-water pool in wetter sites and wetter years.

Information : Wire Harness Automated Manufacturing System
Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. (BHTI) began development of an automated wire harness manufacturing system during the mid 1970s. Wire Harness Automated Manufacturing System (WHAMS) was initially implemented in 1981.
Major benefits resulting from the implementation of WHAMS include reduced wire waste; reduced use of identification sleeves; reduced duplicate layout boards; and reduced rework effort.
These benefits translate into a $2.1 million first year cost reduction resulting from a $750 thousand implementation cost. Use of the system has resulted in an 80% reduction in labor in the wire cut and stamp area and a 40% reduction in labor in the harness layout area.
The principal concept behind WHAMS is to use a manufacturing data base to provide electronic data for automated and manual operations in the wire harness manufacturing process. Currently, data developed by various electrical engineering and planning activities are resident on a BHTI mainframe computer as part of the Bell Engineering Information Management System (BEIMS). These data are downloaded into a local manufacturing computer to create a WHAMS database. This data is used to group like cable types so that continuous filament wires can be processed through the manufacturing cell.
WHAMS data is used to drive an automated wire marking system capable of placing identification markings every 2-1/2 inches at speeds up to 350 feet per minute. The system uses an AB Dick Videojet Printer and an American Can model 1JM Wire Transporter. After marking, the wires are spooled and heated to cure the ink markings.
Harness layout boards are set-up and marked into zones for wire end termination to assist in the proper routing of wires. The layout process uses data from WHAMS but remains a manual operation. Wire routing is accomplished manually with the assistance of computer displayed instructions. Wire sleeve identification tags are automatically printed out. Harnesses are cut and bundled, wires are stripped and crimped, and end terminations are made up manually using WHAMS generated printouts.

Here are 1 famous actors from Turkey died in 1998:
Erol Taş (February 28, 1926 Erzurum-November 8, 1998 Istanbul) a.k.a. Erol Tas was a Turkish actor. He had four children, Müjgan Taş, Metin Tanju Taş, Güler Özgal and Gönül Dalsaldı.
Taş began his acting career in the late 1940s and quickly became a prominent figure in Turkish cinema. He is known for his versatile roles in over two hundred films, ranging from dramatic to comedic. His performances in movies such as "Vesikalı Yarim", "Hababam Sınıfı", and "Zübük" are still widely popular in Turkey. Taş was not only a successful actor but was also a poet and wrote several books. He received numerous awards for his contributions to the art of acting, including the Golden Orange Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997. Taş was known for his rebellious personality, and he often portrayed anti-establishment characters in his films. He passed away at the age of 72 due to lung cancer.

How to display multiple images or graphs in a single window (frame) in MATLAB
This is done by using the subplot command in MATLAB
Suppose we have to display 4 images (aa,bb,cc,dd) in a single figure and arrange them in 2x2 fashion.
We will use the following commands:
similary to display two image in 2x1 fashion, we will use:


I'm having problems with the last two lines in Listing 1. As they stand, they work fine. But when I preface fil.DateCreated and fil.DateLastModified with text in the code
WScript.Echo("File created on " _
 + fil.DateCreated)
WScript.Echo("File last" & _
 "modified on " + _
I receive the error message C:\Scripts\files.vbs(11, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Type mismatch: '\[string: "File created on "\]'. I can't figure out why. Can you help?
The error you're seeing is the result of using the wrong operator to concatenate different VBScript subtypes. VBScript's string concatenation operator is the ampersand (&), not the addition (+) operator.
What's interesting about your example is that the addition operator works in the first two WScript.Echo statements but not the second two statements. Here's why. The fil.Path and fil.Name variables and the text that prefaces fil.Path and fil.Name are all String subtypes. In these two statements, VBScript can concatenate the strings because all the pieces are of the String subtype.
However, when you preface the fil.DateCreated and fil.DateLastModified variables with text, you're trying to concatenate String subtypes with Date subtypes. When the VBScript interpreter sees the addition operator, it converts the Date subtype to an Integer subtype then attempts to add the integer to the string. The result is a type mismatch because you can't add a number to a string. Replacing the addition operator with the concatenation operator causes VBScript to convert the Date subtype to a String subtype. VBScript can then glue the substrings together. So if you change the addition operators to concatenation operators, you can successfully add text to the last two statements in your script. (For more information about VBScript operators, see Dino Esposito, "Understanding VBScript: Operators," August 1999.)
I'm designing a Windows NT 4.0 rollout for a company that wants to deploy a standard image to 130 desktops. This deployment must be hands-off. The company currently has IBM's LANClient Control Manager (LCCM) and Wake-on-LAN managed PCs that I can use to multicast the NT 4.0 image to the desktop. However, how do I automate changing the computer name and joining the workstation to the domain after the new image boots?
You can use Windows Script Host (WSH) 2.0 and Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) 2.5 to automate changing the computer name and joining the domain. WSH and ADSI must be part of your standard NT 4.0 image. Here's how you accomplish these two tasks:
1. Changing the computer name. Automating the process of changing the computer name is simple. You just need to use the WSH Shell object's RegWrite method to change a few Registry values and reboot. Specifically, you need to modify the NetBIOS and TCP/IP Hostname Registry values with code similar to that in Listing 2. (This script doesn't include error-checking code.) As Listing 2 shows, you begin by declaring the variables. You then specify the paths to the Registry values you want to change. Finally, you specify the new computer name and use the RegWrite method to make the Registry changes. After you run this script, you must reboot the workstation to commit the changes. (For more information about how to use the RegWrite method, go to You can also download the executable Windows Script Host Reference at Install the documentation by running wshdoc.exe after the download is complete.)
To use this script, you need to change w-bobwells to your new computer name. Therein lies the only challenge you might face with this automation task: obtaining the new computer name. Solutions I've seen include setting the computer name to the machine's primary media access control (MAC) address or retrieving the new computer name from a local or remote configuration file.
2. Joining the domain. You can use ADSI 2.5 to create the new computer account and set the initial computer account password. The example script in Listing 3 demonstrates the process for a workstation named Hercules in the domain Olympus.
You begin this script by creating a reference to ADSI's WinNT: provider, which is the mechanism that ADSI uses to access and manage NT 4.0 and 3.51. Next, you call the OpenDSObject method to authenticate and bind to the container that will hold the new computer account object. OpenDSObject takes four parameters:
 - The ADsPath to the target ADSI object. In this example, you're binding to the Olympus domain.
 - The account credentials to authenticate the bind request.
 - The password for the account credentials.
 - The type of authentication to perform the bind operation. The value 1 is the authentication flag that enforces secure authentication.
After you successfully bind to the target domain container, you use the IADsContainer::Create method to create the computer account object. This method takes two parameters: the type of object to create and the object's name. In this case, you're creating a Computer object named Hercules. On completion, the Create method returns a reference to the new object. Although you might think that the computer account exists at this point, it doesn't exist until you use the SetInfo method. SetInfo writes the object to the underlying directory. The last two lines set the computer account's initial password.
To use this script, you need to change several values to match your environment:
 - Change "Olympus" to the name of the domain that will contain the new computer account.
 - Change "Administrator" to the name of a user account that has sufficient domain privileges to create computer accounts.
 - Change "Password" to the previous user account's password.
 - Change "Hercules" to the name of the new computer account.

A two-minute warning stoppage in American Football occurs twice during a four-quarter game. The pause occurs in the second and fourth quarters of every game. The clock stops at the conclusion of the two-minute mark, and it acts as a mini timeout for teams to strategize on what to do next. So what is the history of the two-minute warning, why it began, and why does it still exist today? Here is the entire breakdown of the two-minute warning in American Football.
When Did the Two-Minute-Warning Begin in American Football?
The two minute-warning began in the NFL in 1942. During this time, no official game clock was present for fans and players to see. Since no stadium clock counted down the time left in the match, the refs had a two-minute warning to alert the players and fans how much time was left.
Clock Change at NFL Stadiums
While more NFL stadiums began adding official game clocks for everyone to see, the two-minute warning was still part of NFL games. Even though the original purpose of the two-minute notification was to let everyone know how much time remained in the contest, the league saw it as an essential and strategic part of the game. The break-in action allows teams to huddle up and strategize what they will do next, even without a timeout.
What Happens at the 2 Minute Warning During Football Games?
During the 2-minute warning in American Football, both teams can regroup on the field or sidelines and discuss strategy during the stoppage in action. Also, since this is a pause in the act, you typically see commercial breaks on TV. The two-minute warning lasts two minutes, allowing TV and radio advertisers to squeeze in a few ads before the action resumes.
How Many Two Minute Warnings are there in Football?
There are only 2 two minute-warnings during a four-quarter football game. If the game goes into overtime, there is another two-minute warning if it gets to that stage. During the playoffs in overtime, there is no 2 -minute overtime in the first overtime period. However, if the game continues into the second overtime and beyond, there is one 2 minute overtime per period.
Does the 2:00 Minute Mark Stop the Action No Matter What?
The two-minute warning only occurs when the play clock reaches 2:00, and the completion of the play concludes. For example, a team might run the ball with 2:10 left on the clock, but they fumble it. The defending team recovers the ball and runs it until tackled with the fumble recovery. The game clock is now at 1:47 after this tackle, and the two-minute warning starts. Even though the game clock is 1:47, both teams enter a two-minute break and then resume action with 1:47 left in the game.
How Do Teams Use the Two-Minute Warning to their Advantage?
If the offense is down in the score, they might try and preserve their timeouts, so they will run or throw the ball and run out of bounds to stop the clock. With the 2-minute warning approaching, teams can run a play in the middle of the field and then have the 2-minute warning stop the action, which doesn't cost them a timeout.
What is the Two-Minute Drill?
Teams practice a first and second half two-minute drill in practices before games. These two-minute drills simulate scenarios when a team only has two minutes to march down the field and score a touchdown. Sometimes they will have no timeouts, while others will have a few. Teams practice this two-minute drill to simulate what will happen if they are in the same scenario.
What is the 10-Second Runoff?
After the two-minute warning during an American Football game, there is a 10-second runoff that occurs only for the offense. The 10-second runoff prevents an offense from getting an unfair late advantage, especially when they are out of timeouts. Common reasons for the penalty include
- Intentional grounding.
- Creating a false start on purpose to stop the clock.
- QB throws a backward pass out of bounds.
An Example of Why the 10-Second Runoff Exists
For example, let's say that a team has the ball with 15 seconds left on the clock. They are trying to get their players back to the line of scrimmage to spike the ball to stop the clock, but it is taking too long. To stop the clock, the center moves early and interacts with a defender to create a false start, which stops the clock.
The referee in this situation above will call a 10-second runoff violation because the play was only run to stop the action. With that being the case, the new play begins with 10 seconds taken off the clock, which means that the offense only has 5 seconds left on the game clock. If less than 10 seconds are on the game clock, the game officially ends on this call.
Finally, an injured player on the field when the team has no timeouts can result in a 10-second runoff. The other team can choose to have 10 seconds taken off the clock when there is an injury.
Does College Football or High School Football Have a 2 Minute Warning?
NCAA Football and High School Football does not have any two-minute warnings during their game day matchups.
Does Canadian Football or Arena Football Have Something Similar?
Does Hockey or Basketball Have Something Similar?
Professional hockey and basketball don't have anything like the two-minute warning like the National Football League has. The only similar thing is the seventh inning stretch in Major League Baseball, which is a brief pause in action towards the end of a game.
Conclusion: What is the Two Minute Warning in Football?
In summary, the two-minute warning began to alert both teams on how much time remained during a game. Today, the two-minute warning is a time to regroup as a team and strategize on what to do next. Not only is the pause in action a way for teams to strategize, but the delay builds up the excitement for the final moments of a football game, which is great for players and fans.


Using 'varip' variables [PineCoders]
The new varip keyword in Pine can be used to declare variables that escape the rollback process, which is explained in the Pine User Manual's page on the execution model. This publication explains how Pine coders can use variables declared with varip to implement logic that was impossible to code in Pine before, such as timing events during the realtime bar, or keeping track of sequences of events that occur during successive realtime updates. We present code that allows you to calculate for how much time a given condition is true during a realtime bar, and show how this can be used to generate alerts.
1. varip is an advanced feature which should only be used by coders already familiar with Pine's execution model and bar states.
2. Because varip only affects the behavior of your code in the realtime bar, it follows that backtest results on strategies built using logic based on varip will be meaningless,
 as varip behavior cannot be simulated on historical bars. This also entails that plots on historical bars will not be able to reproduce the script's behavior in realtime.
3. Authors publishing scripts that behave differently in realtime and on historical bars should imperatively explain this to traders.
Escaping the rollback process
Whereas scripts only execute once at the close of historical bars, when a script is running in realtime, it executes every time the chart's feed detects a price or volume update. At every realtime update, Pine's runtime normally resets the values of a script's variables to their last committed value, i.e., the value they held when the previous bar closed. This is generally handy, as each realtime script execution starts from a known state, which simplifies script logic.
Sometimes, however, script logic requires code to be able to save states between different executions in the realtime bar. Declaring variables with varip now makes that possible. The "ip" in varip stands for "intrabar persist".
Let's look at the following code, which does not use varip:
int updateNo = na
if barstate.isnew
 updateNo := 1
 updateNo := updateNo + 1
plot(updateNo, style = plot.style_circles)
On historical bars, barstate.isnew is always true, so the plot shows a value of "1". On realtime bars, barstate.isnew is only true when the script first executes on the bar's opening. The plot will then briefly display "1" until subsequent executions occur. On the next executions during the realtime bar, the second branch of the if statement is executed because barstate.isnew is no longer true. Since 'updateNo' is initialized to 'na' at each execution, the 'updateNo + 1' expression yields 'na', so nothing is plotted on further realtime executions of the script.
If we now use varip to declare the 'updateNo' variable, the script behaves very differently:
varip int updateNo = na
if barstate.isnew
 updateNo := 1
 updateNo := updateNo + 1
plot(updateNo, style = plot.style_circles)
The difference now is that 'updateNo' tracks the number of realtime updates that occur on each realtime bar. This can happen because the varip declaration allows the value of 'updateNo' to be preserved between realtime updates; it is no longer rolled back at each realtime execution of the script. The test on barstate.isnew allows us to reset the update count when a new realtime bar comes in.
Let's move on to our script. It has three parts:
 — Part 1 demonstrates how to generate alerts on timed conditions.
 — Part 2 calculates the average of realtime update prices using a varip array.
 — Part 3 presents a function to calculate the up/down/neutral volume by looking at price and volume variations between realtime bar updates.
Something we could not do in Pine before varip was to time the duration for which a condition is continuously true in the realtime bar. This was not possible because we could not save the beginning time of the first occurrence of the true condition.
One use case for this is a strategy where the system modeler wants to exit before the end of the realtime bar, but only if the exit condition occurs for a specific amount of time. One can thus design a strategy running on a 1H timeframe but able to exit if the exit condition persists for 15 minutes, for example. REMINDER: Using such logic in strategies will make backtesting their complete logic impossible, and backtest results useless, as historical behavior will not match the strategy's behavior in realtime, just as using 'calc_on_every_tick = true' will do. Using 'calc_on_every_tick = true' is necessary, by the way, when using varip in a strategy, as you want the strategy to run like a study in realtime, i.e., executing on each price or volume update.
Our script presents an 'f_secondsSince(_cond, _resetCond)' function to calculate the time for which a condition is continuously true during, or even across multiple realtime bars. It only works in realtime. The abundant comments in the script hopefully provide enough information to understand the details of what it's doing. If you have questions, feel free to ask in the Comments section.
The script's inputs allow you to:
 - Specify the number of seconds the tested conditions must last before an alert is triggered (the default is 20 seconds).
 - Determine if you want the duration to reset on new realtime bars.
 - Require the direction of alerts (up or down) to alternate, which minimizes the number of alerts the script generates.
The inputs showcase the new 'tooltip' parameter, which allows additional information to be displayed for each input by hovering over the "i" icon next to it.
The script only displays useful information on realtime bars. This information includes:
 - The MA against which the current price is compared to determine the bull or bear conditions.
 - A dash which prints on the chart when the bull or bear condition is true.
 - An up or down triangle that prints when an alert is generated. The triangle will only appear on the update where the alert is triggered,
 and unless that happens to be on the last execution of the realtime bar, it will not persist on the chart.
 - The log of all triggered alerts to the right of the realtime bar.
 - A gray square on top of the elapsed realtime bars where one or more alerts were generated. The square's tooltip displays the alert log for that bar.
 - A yellow dot corresponding to the average price of all realtime bar updates, which is calculated using a varip array in "Part 2" of the script.
 - Various key values in the Data Window for each parts of the script.
Note that the directional volume information calculated in Part 3 of the script is not plotted on the chart—only in the Data Window.
Using the script
You can try running the script on an open market with a 30sec timeframe. Because the default settings reset the duration on new realtime bars and require a 20 second delay, a reasonable amount of alerts will trigger.
Creating an alert on the script
You can create a script alert on the script. Keep in mind that when you create an alert from this script, the duration calculated by the instance of the script running the alert will not necessarily match that of the instance running on your chart, as both started their calculations at different times. Note that we use alert.freq_all in our alert() calls, so that alerts will trigger on all instances where the associated condition is met. If your alert is being paused because it reaches the maximum of 15 triggers in 3 minutes, you can configure the script's inputs so that up/down alerts must alternate. Also keep in mind that alerts run a distinct instance of your script on different servers, so discrepancies between the behavior of scripts running on charts and alerts can occur, especially if they trigger very often.
Events detected in realtime using variables declared with varip can be transient and not leave visible traces at the close of the realtime bar, as is the case with our script, which can trigger multiple alerts during the same realtime bar, when the script's inputs allow for this. In such cases, elapsed realtime bars will be of no use in detecting past realtime bar events unless dedicated code is used to save traces of events, as we do with our alert log in this script, which we display as a tooltip on elapsed realtime bars.
Realtime updates
We have no control over when realtime updates occur. A realtime bar can open, and then no realtime updates can occur until the open of the next realtime bar. The time between updates can vary considerably.
Past values
There is no mechanism to refer to past values of a varip variable across realtime executions in the same bar. Using the history-referencing operator will, as usual, return the variable's committed value on previous bars. If you want to preserve past values of a varip variable, they must be saved in other variables or in an array.
Resetting variables
Because varip variables not only preserve their values across realtime updates, but also across bars, you will typically need to plan conditions that will at some point reset their values to a known state. Testing on barstate.isnew, as we do, is a good way to achieve that.
The fact that a script uses varip does not make it necessarily repainting. A script could conceivably use varip to calculate values saved when the realtime bar closes, and then use confirmed values of those calculations from the previous bar to trigger alerts or display plots, avoiding repaint.
timenow resolution
Although the variable is expressed in milliseconds it has an actual resolution of seconds, so it only increments in multiples of 100

After spending over a decade photographing the world's oldest and rarest trees by day, Beth Moon has returned to capture these majestic plants at night. For her Diamond Nights project, Moon spent a considerable amount of time researching to find intriguing trees in southern Africa, South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia. Following a guide for hours across unmarked terrain, the dedicated photographer sought out isolated areas where there was not a single soul for miles around. Once she found her subject, she marked the location with a collection of small rocks, so that she would be able to find the right spot when using only a flashlight at night.
Against the starlit sky, the ancient trees appear like something out of a fairytale. The peace that surrounds them adds a magical quality to the uninhabited natural surroundings shown in the snapshots. When creating her works of art, Moon herself experienced this otherworldly feeling, staying with the trees for hours at a time to witness their secret connection with the sky above. "Our relationship to the wild has always played an important role in my work. This series was inspired by two fascinating, scientific studies that connect tree growth with celestial movement and astral cycles," explained the gifted artist. With the starry sky playing a key role in these photos, it only seems fitting that Moon would name them after the constellations pictured in the background.

Customer Satisfaction Lies Somewhere Between Pleasure And Pain
May 3, 2012
A new paper by Kyle Murray, a marketing researcher with the Alberta School of Business, puts a spin on the expression "you can't please everyone."
The pleasure-versus-pain principle
The researchers studied people's reactions to two consumer experiences: tasting a cup of coffee and choosing a digital camera. In both studies, there was a quality product and one that had been altered to affect its quality. Test subjects were asked to rate their satisfaction with the product's quality. The researchers discovered that respondents fell into two categories: promotion-focused (pleasure-seeking) or prevention-focused (pain-avoiding). "These two types of people respond very differently to having the same kind of service encounter or having the same kind of problem with a product," said Murray.
"People who are promotion-focused tend to get a lot more hurt when something goes wrong, but they're also a lot happier when something goes right," he said. "The prevention-focused people are less upset when something goes wrong–when they buy a product and it breaks or they have a bad service experience–but they're also less happy when something goes right."
Can't get no satisfaction? It may be a conservative bias
Murray notes that although the prevention-focused response was far less extreme than the promotion-focused response, the pain-avoiding group appeared less able to enjoy a positive consumer experience. As a consequence, their controlled reactions left them feeling less joy when something went right–a phenomenon the researchers labelled a conservative bias.
"That conservative bias changes the way they see the world," he said. "They're a little bit more constrained in all their responses, at least in the realm of satisfaction."
Get to know consumer audiences
Prior research suggests that there is segmentation across both gender and age lines. Specifically, previous work indicates that women and older adults are slightly more chronically prevention-focused, whereas men and younger people tend to be more promotion-focused. Murray says that changing our consumer characteristics may not be an option, but being able to understand how the other side responds certainly is. For the customer service world, this means helping staff to understand both groups, and preparing them for the reality that when it comes to complaints, one style does not fit all.
"To some extent, they can tell front-line people that, as older people approach them, they're going to be more prevention-focused, they're not going to be as extreme either way," said Murray. "But when something has gone really wrong with that 21-year-old's game console, they're going to be a lot more upset and more likely to tell their friends.
"On the flip side, when they take it home and it works well and they really enjoy it, they're more excited and happy, and more likely to tell their friends about it."

Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) is studying a system to support the diagnosis of liver cancer using AI to analyse ultrasound images and interpret gene data. AI can be utilised to detect the early signs of liver cancer Associate Professor Vu Duy Hai, director of the Center for Biomedical Electronics of HUST, at the AI4VN conference taking place on August 15, said the centre is studying a system to support the diagnosis of liver cancer based on Big Data on ultrasound imaging and gene interpretation. The research applying AI technology to diagnose liver cancer has been carried out since 2018 and will be fed ultrasound imaging data of 10,000 primary liver cancer patients. These images are collected from central and local hospitals of all ecological regions throughout the country. Of these, 200 patient records will be used to sequence genes to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. After being transferred to the research centre, medical records from hospitals are standardised and labelled before storage. So far, the group has collected more than 6,000 ultrasound images. After that, HUST will develop the tool to diagnose the early stages of primary liver cancer which can run on many devices like computers… Read full this story

preserved if they are for nodes being created. However, when a name
 label is input for a node that already exist in DNS data being
 augmented or updated, the situation is more complex. Implemenations
 may retain the case first input for such a label or allow new input
 to override the old case or maintain separate copies preserving the
 input case.
 For example, if data with owner name "foo.bar.example" is input and
 then later data with owner name "xyz.BAR.example" is input, the name
 of the label on the "bar.example" node, i.e. "bar", might or might
 not be changed to "BAR" or the actual input case could be preserved.
D. Eastlake 3rd [Page 6]
INTERNET-DRAFT DNS Case Insensitivity
 Thus later retrieval of data stored under "xyz.bar.example" in this
 case can easily result is obtaining data with "xyz.BAR.example". The
 same considerations apply when inputting multiple data records with
 owner names differing only in case. From the example above, if an "A"
 record is stored under owner name "xyz.BAR.example" and then a second
 "A" record under "XYZ.BAR.example", the second MAY be stored with the
 first (lower case initial label) name.
 the results of inconsistent capitalization in a Master File are
 unpredicatable output capitalization.
4.3 Wildcard Matching
 There is one additional instance of note, which reflects the general
 rules that output case reflects input case unless there is
 conflicting capitalization in the DNS database or the output case is
 hidden by name compression. This is when a query matches a wildcard
 in the DNS database at a server. In that case, the answer SHOULD
 reflect the input case of the label or labels that matched the
 wildcard unless they are replaced by an indirect label which MAY
 point to a name with different capitalization.
5. Internationalized Domain Names
 A scheme has been adopted for "internationalized domain names" and
 "internationalized labels" as described in [RFC 3490, 3454, 3491, and
 3492]. It makes most of [UNICODE] available through a separate
 application level transformation from internationalized domain name
 to DNS domain name and from DNS domain name to internationalized
 domain name. Any case insensitivity that internationalized domain
 names and labels have varies depending on the script and is handled
 entirely as part of the transformation described in [RFC 3454] and
 [RFC 3491] which should be seen for further details. This is not a
 part of the DNS as standardized in STD 13.
6. Security Considerations
 The equivalence of certain DNS label types with case differences, as
 clarified in this document, can lead to security problems. For
 example, a user could be confused by believing two domain names
 differing only in case were actually different names.

 DNS. It could be used as a case sensitive index into some data base
 system. Or it could be interpreted as binary data by some integrity
 or authentication code system. These problems can usually be handled
 by using a standardized or "canonical" form of the DNS ASCII type
 labels, that is, always map the ASCII letter value octets in ASCII
 labels to some specific pre-chosen case, either upper case or lower
 case. An example of a canonical form for domain names (and also a
 canonical ordering for them) appears in Section 8 of [RFC 2535]. See
 also [UNKRR].
 expectation that case will always be preserved. For example, although
 this would be quite rare, on a system with case sensitive email
 address local parts, an attempt to store two "RP" records that
 differed only in case would probably produce unexpected results that
 might have security implications. That is because the entire email
 address, including the possibly case sensitive local or left hand
 part, is encoded into a DNS name in a readable fashion where the case
 of some letters might be changed on output as described above.

Maximum medical improvement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Maximum medical improvement (MMI) occurs when an injured employee reaches a state where his or her condition cannot be improved any further or when a treatment plateau in a person's healing process is reached. It can mean that the patient has fully recovered from the injury or that the patient's medical condition has stabilized to the point that no major medical or emotional change can be expected in the injured workers' condition. At that point, no further healing or improvement is deemed possible and this occurs despite continuing medical treatment or rehabilitative programs the injured worker partakes in. When a worker who is receiving Workers' Compensation benefits reaches maximum medical improvement, his or her condition is assessed and a degree of permanent or partial impairment is determined. This degree will impact the amount of benefits the worker is able to receive.
Maximum medical improvement means that treatment options have been exhausted. Temporary disability payments are terminated and a settlement is worked out regarding the condition of the worker at this point.

The Project
Between 1927 and 1951 millions of Christian posters entered the Chinese market. Printed by the thousands onto the cheapest paper, most were used in street preaching and teaching. Others were hung in tearooms and shop windows, or put up with starch and brooms on city gates and local temples. The bright-colored posters briefly attracted attention before they tore, were covered by a more current notice, or dissolved in the rain. These visual messages competed aggressively for the soul of China. The Center for Global Christianity & Mission, funded by the Henry Luce Foundation, is pleased to make hundreds of these rare images digitally accessible and searchable for the first time.
Popular Theology
Chinese Christian propaganda posters were produced for the masses. Displayed in public spaces, artists created posters for popular consumption. What would make Jesus and the Christian message immediately comprehensible and appealing? Who did the people want Jesus to be, and what did they think the Savior needed to rescue them from? Propaganda posters portray the gospel, not as Chinese theologians wrote about it, but as artists pictured it for the common people. Through five hundred images, it is possible to explore how these posters portrayed salvation to a nation in crisis.

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

Pupils as young as seven are abusing teachers and making threats against them on social media, a new poll has claimed.
The study, conducted by the NASUWT teaching union, added parents were also using online networks to ridicule and critique school staff and to make allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Those questioned in the survey said they had suffered racial abuse and comments about their sexuality.
One educator said a parent had called them 'a nasty teacher' and told them to go 'home'.
Another added: 'I had a video taken from the corridor while discussing a report card with another pupil.
'I was then accused of calling the pupil a bitch when I did not.'
The highest percentage of offending pupils were aged between 11 and 16 but some were as young as seven.
Many teachers were reluctant to report online abuse because they thought it wouldn't be taken seriously, according to the survey that questioned more than 7,500 people.
NASUWT's general secretary, Chris Keates, said teachers needed to be protected.
'Teachers are often devastated by the vile nature of the abuse they are suffering', she added.

This paper has proposed a gain-scheduled controller with stability proof and guaranteed cost for a turboshaft driving a variable pitch propeller. In order to overcome the complexity of the nonlinear model, a linear parameter varying (LPV) model is proposed for the first time which is in affine form. Proposed model is established based on a family of local linear models and is suitable for LPV gain scheduling methods. Thus a gain scheduled design procedure is proposed which considers parameter dependent Lyapunov matrices to ensure stability and a quadratic cost function for guaranteed performance of the closed loop system. Proposed procedure also has the advantage of considering an upper bound for change rate of the scheduling signal which decreases conservativeness. Controller design problem and calculating its gain matrices is formulated in a set of Linear Matrix Inequalities which easily can be solved using LMILAB toolbox. Simulation results showed the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed procedure.


text: Stiffness and hysteretic energy losses are calculated for a magnetically levitating system composed of a type-II superconductor and a permanent magnet when a small vibration is produced in the system. We consider a cylindrically symmetric configuration with only vertical movements and calculate the current profiles under the assumption of the critical state model. The calculations, based on magnetic energy minimization, take into account the demagnetization fields inside the superconductor and the actual shape of the applied field. The dependence of stiffness and hysteretic energy losses upon the different important parameters of the system such as the superconductor aspect ratio, the relative size of the superconductor-permanent magnet, and the critical current of the superconductor are all systematically studied. Finally, in view of the results, we provide some trends on how a system such as the one studied here could be designed in order to optimize both the stiffness and the hysteretic losses.


Coffee-Break Tutorial: Easy Typewriter Dialogue (DnD)
Coffee-Break Tutorial: Easy Typewriter Dialogue (DnD)
Today's coffee-break tutorial covers a great effect that is useful in a wide variety of situations. Making a dialogue object that has lines of text that appear a letter at a time, just like it was being written on a typewriter! How to make an effect like this is a recurrent question we see come up on the forums and other social platforms, and while there are a number of great assets out there that will permit you to do this. We thought we would show you how this can be done in the simplest form, so you can learn and have base to build your own text systems.
NOTE: This tutorial is for people that use DnD. If you prefer to use GML to make your games, we have a companion article for you here.
For this tutorial, you will need to create a new project in GameMaker Studio 2 as we'll be starting from scratch. In this project you should add a new font asset and give it a name (in this tutorial we'll be calling it simply fnt_dialog), and then add a new object asset and name it obj_dialog):
Project Setup Font And Object
We'll be adding all our actions into the dialog object and the idea is that we'll be creating an array of text, where each item in the array is a complete sentence or paragraph of text, and then we'll be taking that text and drawing only a section of it each step, advancing the section to show a new letter little by little to create the typewriter effect. So, let's get started...
Before we add any actions into our dialog object, we need to first define a function that we'll need to deal with wrapping text that is too long for the space we want to draw it in. Now, GameMaker Studio 2 has a GML function draw_text_ext that can be used to automatically wrap text when it overflows a given length, and in many cases that will be perfectly fine to use. However, since we will be drawing our text a letter at a time, this function causes an issue where words will start to appear on one line, then "jump" to the next as the GML function detects that they are now longer than the maximum width. You can see this happening in the following GIF:
Draw_text_ext Overflow Problem
To prevent this from happening, we are going to take our input string then run it through a function that will add in the required line breaks based on the position of spaces in the text. This will mean that the string will be pre-formatted to go to a new line before it's even drawn.
You should make a new Script asset for this and while you can name it anything you wish, for the sake of this tutorial, we'll call it the same as the function it's going to contain: string_wrap. In the script you'll see that there is already a Declare A New Function action present, so fill it out as shown in the image below, and add an Execute Code action to it:
string_wrap function declaration
The code we'll be using is shown below, and you should simply copy and paste it directly into the Execute Code action:
var _text_wrapped = "";
var _space = -1;
var _char_pos = 1;
while (string_length(_text) >= _char_pos)
 if (string_width(string_copy(_text, 1, _char_pos)) > _width)
 if (_space!= -1)
 _text_wrapped += string_copy(_text, 1, _space) + "\n";
 _text = string_copy(_text, _space + 1, string_length(_text) - (_space));
 _char_pos = 1;
 _space = -1;
 if (string_char_at(_text,_char_pos) == " ")
 _space = _char_pos;
 _char_pos += 1;
if (string_length(_text) > 0)
 _text_wrapped += _text;
return _text_wrapped;
All this script is doing is looping through the given string a letter at a time and checking to see if the length of the string after each letter is added to it overflows the permitted text width, while also storing the position of the last space found between words in a variable. If the text does overflow the given width, then the function adds a line break ("\n") into the text at the last space, then continues on, and it will do this for the entire length of the given text, adding as many line breaks as required.
With that done, we can turn our attention to the dialog object and actually start to code our typewriter effect. To start with we need to add a Create Event to set up some variables that our object will need. We'll need quite a few variables to control things, so we've broken it into blocks of variables to make it easier, so add a Create Event to the object now, and then add this first block:
Create Event block one
This first block defines an array which is what we'll use to contain each of our lines of dialogue. Here we're adding in two lines, but you can add more as you wish, just make sure that you increment the array position for each line. Now add the following:
Create Event block two
This next block initialises all the controller variables that will be required to draw our text using the typewriter effect. These variables are as follows:
 - text_current : this will be used to tell GameMaker what the current text array position to use for the text.
 - text_last : this will be used to tell GameMaker what the last array position is, in this case 1 as we have 2 positions - 0 and 1 - in our array. For an array with position 0, 1, 2, and 3, then this variable would be set to 3.
 - text_width : this is the maximum width that we want the text to be drawn before it wraps to a new line
 - text_x : the X position where we want to draw the text in the room
 - text_y : the Y position where we want to draw the text in the room
The final block of variables to add looks like this:
Create Event block three
These two variables will control the current last character of the text being drawn, and the timing of when each character is drawn. By changing the variable char_speedyou can change how fast or slow the text appears on the screen.
The last thing to do in our Create Event is to call the function we created earlier on the first line of text we'll be drawing so that it wraps correctly within the given width:
Create Event block four
Most typewriter effects permit you to skip the effect in some way, and so we'll be adding this into our own example. We want the skip effect to work in two different ways:
 - If the current line hasn't finished being drawn, then pressing skip will draw the whole line right to the end instantly
 - If the current line has finished being drawn, then pressing skip will go to the next line and start drawing that
We'll do this using the Space key on the keyboard, but you can use any input method you want as the actions we'll show will be the same. So, add a Keyboard Pressed - Space event to the dialog object now. First, we'll check the length of the whole string being drawn against the current position of what is actually being drawn, like this:
Keypress Space event block 1
All this does is set the current last character being drawn to the last character in the whole string, so the whole string will instantly be displayed. If the whole string is already being displayed, then we need to use the elseand add into that the following:
Keypress Space event block 2
Here we advance the variable that tells GameMaker which array position to get the text from, and then we check to see if we've advanced outside of the size of the array. If we have, then we restart the room, but that's just for this tutorial. Normally you'd then destroy the dialog object or have your game perform some action here. If there is still more text in the array, then we call our string_wrapfunction to add line breaks to the next line to be displayed and reset the current last character to the start of the string ready to display it letter-by-letter again.
The draw event is probably the simplest of all to set up and we'll start by setting how we want the text to be displayed by choosing a font, position and colour. Add a Draw Event now and give it these actions:
Draw Event block 1
With that done, it's time to actually draw our dialogue text! First, we need to check the current last character of the text being drawn, and if it's not the last character of the whole text, advance it by the speed that we set in the create event:
Draw Event block 2
To draw the text, we simply use the string_copy() function to copy the section of the total text from the beginning to the current last character and then draw that, like this (under the "If", not as part of it):
Draw Event block 3
You can add the dialog object to a room now and run the game and the results should be something like this:
The final effect in all its glory
With this, you now have a dialog object that you can use at any time in a game! How do you ask? Well, all you need to do is

The solid blue line on Map 2 represents LANE's border between Eastern and Western New England. The English settlement of the area east of the blue line began at Boston and Plymouth and other settlements along the Atlantic coast, and moved west and north from there; west of the line, settlements began along Long Island Sound and moved north. The area of TLN corresponds roughly to Western New England, with notable gaps in the Hartford and Springfield areas and in the southwestern corner of Massachusetts. The lines weave in and out of each other in Vermont, but the E/W border is less secure there as Vermont was settled later than the rest of New England and included populations from both the West and East regions.
The string of red spots in western Connecticut follows the Housatonic River, which was at one time one of the main routes of settlement and travel in Western New England. This suggests that full neutralization of marry-merry-Mary may, in this area, have originated in Bridgeport, at the mouth of the river, and spread northward along it.
The gap in the TLN region in southwestern Massachusetts suggests that TLN was not an original feature of the Western New England dialect that spread with settlement; if that were the case, TLN would have to have been originally present in Hartford and in southwestern Mass. and then reversed by influence from the east. This is unlikely because mergers are notoriously hard to undo. On Maps 3 and 4, we look at other phonological features native to western New England and how their interaction with TLN could have stopped TLN from spreading into these anomalous areas.

What's the correct term?
As Mari-Lou has said, puréed is probably the best term, and the one most often used today:
Baby food is normally puréed.
However, if you want a word with a Germanic root, rather than a loan-word, then you could use mashed:
Baby food is normally mashed.
Older recipe books (printed before the advent of food processors) would probably use mashed instead of puréed, and the term mashed is still used in traditional British cooking. For example: mashed potatoes, bangers and mash.
mash verb [WITH OBJECT]
Reduce (a food or other substance) to a pulpy mass by crushing it:
- 'mash the beans to a paste'
- 'mashed banana'
Mush (or the adjective mushy) is usually the first word that comes to my mind when I think of any baby food. It's a slightly derogatory word that an older child or adult might say if he or she were served with some creamy but tasteless mass of food.
- any thick, soft mass.
If the OP wants the correct descriptive term for baby food, there is only one choice. It is purée or pureed, it is the standard, and positive term that especially describes homemade baby food.
Puree (or spelled purée) is a French loanword that has been used in English for over three hundred years, long before the invention of the electric blender.
1. a cooked food, especially a vegetable or fruit, that has been put through a sieve, blender, or the like.
verb (used with object), puréed, puréeing.
- McGrady pureed organic fruits and veggies for William and Harry
Comparing pureed fruit (blue line), mashed fruit (red), sieved fruit (green), and ground fruit (yellow) Ngram produces the following results.
"to Puree" is the technical term which describes the process of making a substance like baby food.
"Baby food is a Puree" is a true statement no matter how you look at it, is not derogatory and is well know and widely used.
I wouldn't recommend using the word "pap" as I am a native speaker who has a girlfriend with kids and I have never heard it. Also if you were to google it, you might understand how it could be an embarrassing word to be misunderstood using while using it.
No, it's not mush (which applies to many things that are not baby food), and although it is definitely puréed or mashed, so are many other foods.
If you're looking for a word to describe it, that word is
1. Soft or semiliquid food, as for infants.
