Header block provides a place for branding and other important site features such as a Navigation Menu. The header is usually placed at the very top of your website and it is a place where your site visitors get to know your site.
There are many elements you can add to the header, including:
- Site name
- Social media links
- Business phone number
- Navigation Menu
- Call to action buttons
Let's take a look at how you can modify each of these elements.
Note: When you edit the elements in your Header block on one page, these amendments are applied to Header blocks on all other pages also. The Header block will have the same layout on all pages it is added to.
Customizing the block appearance
You can customize your Header block appearance in various ways - choose one of the pre-selected color options for your header that match the look and feel of your site template, make the header sticky or make it overlay the next block.
To access these options, hover over the Header block and click Block settings:
In the Appearance tab, you will be able to pick the new color for your Header block:
To make the header stick to the top of the screen while the visitor scrolls down, check the box next to Make header sticky.
To make the header transparent, check the box next to Overlay next block option. The header will adapt to the background color of the next block during scrolling.
Once you are happy with the appearance of your header, click Save to confirm the change.
Customizing the block layout
You cannot change the placement of the Header block elements but you can add or remove them. To do so, hover over the Header block and click Block settings:
In the Layout tab, you will be able to enable/disable the appearance of certain elements in the Header block:
If the elements won't fit in one line, an additional line will appear at the top:
Adding a logo
You can enable a logo to show in your header by activating the Business logo option in the Layout section of the Block settings menu.
To add your own image as a logo, follow these steps:
- Click on the existing logo to trigger the appearance of the image editing panel.
- Click Replace image.
- Choose the new logo file on your computer.
The new logo will be added to your site. You can learn more about adding a logo from this tutorial.
Editing social media links
To edit your social media links in the Header block, follow these steps:
- Click on any social media icon in the header. The link editing menu will be activated.
- Click on the Settings button next to the social media icon you want to link:
Enter the URL of the corresponding social media page.
If desired, change the link icon. Click on Choose icon and search for another social media icon from the Icon Library:
Changing the phone number
To show your business phone number, first enable this option in the Block settings menu:
To edit the phone number, simply click on it and type in the new number.
Adding the Navigation Menu
The Navigation Menu, much like all other elements of your site, can be added or removed in the Layout section of the Block settings menu:
You can also make a local Navigation Menu for a particular page. Turning on local navigation on a specific page allows you to hide other Navigation Menu items on this specific page, while they will be displayed in global navigation on other pages. Here's how to turn on local navigation:
- Go to the page where you want to create page-specific navigation.
- Click on the Navigation Menu and then click More...
- Click Convert to local element:
Now you can hide a page from navigation and this change will be visible only on the page where you have enabled the local navigation. To disable local navigation, follow the steps above and click Revert to global element.
To learn more about Navigation Menu editing, follow this tutorial.
Editing the buttons
Your Header block can contain up to two buttons. Check or uncheck the Primary button (filled with color, so it appears more prominent) or a Secondary button (outlined only) in the Layout tab of the Block settings.
If you want to change button colors, follow the steps in this tutorial. To hyperlink a button, click on it and then click on the "chain link" icon:
You will be prompted to manage the link. Review this tutorial to learn how to create links.


Why my solar battery charges / discharges rapidly?
It may be that charging and discharging the batteries too quickly is a sign of inadequate battery sizing, improper IMEON settings, or the end of battery life.
As a first step, ask your installer to make sure that the battery has been properly dimensioned and that the IMEON parameters have been set taking into account the technical specifications of the batteries. It is important to note that incorrect sizing of a battery can lead to premature wear.

Working with fans
We start by constructing a fan, which consists of a single cone and all of its faces:
i1 : C = posHull matrix {{1,0,0},{0,1,0},{0,0,1}}
o1 = {ambient dimension => 3 }
 dimension of lineality space => 0
 dimension of the cone => 3
 number of facets => 3
 number of rays => 3
o1 : Cone
i2 : F = fan C
o2 = {ambient dimension => 3 }
 number of generating cones => 1
 number of rays => 3
 top dimension of the cones => 3
o2 : Fan
By this, we have already constructed the fan consisting of the positive orthant and all of its faces. The package saves the generating cones of the fan, which can be accessed by:
i3 : maxCones F
o3 = {{ambient dimension => 3 }}
 dimension of lineality space => 0
 dimension of the cone => 3
 number of facets => 3
 number of rays => 3
o3 : List
Now we could expand the fan by adding more cones, for example the following:
i4 : C1 = posHull matrix {{1,0,0},{1,1,0},{0,0,-1}}
o4 = {ambient dimension => 3 }
 dimension of lineality space => 0
 dimension of the cone => 3
 number of facets => 3
 number of rays => 3
o4 : Cone
But in this case we can not, because the two cones are not compatible, i.e. their intersection is not a face of each. So, when one tries to add a cone to a fan that is not compatible with one of the generating cones of the fan, the function addCone gives an error. For two cones one can check if their intersection is a common face by using commonFace:
i5 : commonFace(C,C1)
o5 = false
Since the intersection of both is already computed in this function there is a different function, which also returns the intersection, to save computation time when one needs the intersection afterward anyway:
i6 : (b,C2) = areCompatible(C,C1)
o6 = (false, {ambient dimension => 3 })
 dimension of lineality space => 0
 dimension of the cone => 2
 number of facets => 2
 number of rays => 2
o6 : Sequence
i7 : rays C2
o7 = | 0 1 |
 | 1 1 |
 | 0 0 |
 3 2
o7 : Matrix ZZ <--- ZZ
So we can make the cone compatible and add it to the fan.
i8 : C1 = posHull matrix {{1,0,0},{0,1,0},{0,0,-1}}
o8 = {ambient dimension => 3 }
 dimension of lineality space => 0
 dimension of the cone => 3
 number of facets => 3
 number of rays => 3
o8 : Cone
i9 : F = addCone(C1,F)
o9 = {ambient dimension => 3 }
 number of generating cones => 2
 number of rays => 4
 top dimension of the cones => 3
o9 : Fan
Instead of creating a fan with one cone and then adding more cones, we can also make a fan out of a list of cones:
i10 : C2 = posHull matrix {{-1,0,0},{0,1,0},{0,0,1}};
i11 : C3 = posHull matrix {{-1,0,0},{0,1,0},{0,0,-1}};
i12 : C4 = posHull matrix {{-1,0,0},{0,-1,0},{0,0,1}};
i13 : C5 = posHull matrix {{-1,0,0},{0,-1,0},{0,0,-1}};
i14 : F1 = fan {C2,C3,C4,C5}
o14 = {ambient dimension => 3 }
 number of generating cones => 4
 number of rays => 5
 top dimension of the cones => 3
o14 : Fan
Furthermore, we could add a list of cones to an existing fan:
i15 : C6 = posHull matrix {{1,0,0},{0,-1,0},{0,0,1}};
i16 : C7 = posHull matrix {{1,0,0},{0,-1,0},{0,0,-1}};
i17 : F1 = addCone( {C6,C7}, F1)
o17 = {ambient dimension => 3 }
 number of generating cones => 6
 number of rays => 6
 top dimension of the cones => 3
o17 : Fan
Finally, we can add a whole fan to another fan:
i18 : F1 = addCone(F,F1)
o18 = {ambient dimension => 3 }
 number of generating cones => 8
 number of rays => 6
 top dimension of the cones => 3
o18 : Fan
So, fan and addCone are the methods to construct fans ''from scratch'', but there are also methods to get fans directly, for example normalFan, which constructs the inner normal fan of a polytope.
i19 : P = hypercube 4
o19 = {ambient dimension => 4 }
 dimension of lineality space => 0
 dimension of polyhedron => 4
 number of facets => 8
 number of rays => 0
 number of vertices => 16
o19 : Polyhedron
i20 : F2 = normalFan P
o20 = {ambient dimension => 4 }
 number of generating cones => 16
 number of rays => 8
 top dimension of the cones => 4
o20 : Fan
Now we have seen how to construct fans, so we turn to functions on fans, for example the direct product (directProduct:
i21 : F3 = fan {posHull matrix {{1}},posHull matrix {{-1}}}
o21 = {ambient dimension => 1 }
 number of generating cones => 2
 number of rays => 2
 top dimension of the cones => 1
o21 : Fan
i22 : F1 = F3 * F1
o22 = {ambient dimension => 4 }
 number of generating cones => 16
 number of rays => 8
 top dimension of the cones => 4
o22 : Fan
The result is in the direct product of the ambient spaces.
i23 : ambDim F1
o23 = 4
Of course, we can check if two fans are the same:
i24 : F1 == F2
o24 = true
A bit more on fans can be found in part 2: Working with fans - Part 2.


To list or set parameter set type → counter mappings, use the following rhino-console commands.
listsnmpcountermappings
Command
listsnmpcountermappings [parameter set type name]
 Description
 Lists the current Parameter Set Type + Counter Name -> Index mappings. If a
 parameter set type name is specified, then only the mappings associated with
 that parameter set type are listed, otherwise all mappings are listed.

How Do You Communicate With Your Guardian Angel?
Our Angels are always by our side and never let us down at any stage in our lives. Without actually seeing them, our Guardian Angels accompany us every day and are always ready to listen to our problems. They are constantly ready to console us and help us, on the condition that we believe in them and learn how to communicate properly. Here are the main steps on how to invoke and open up to your Angel.
As messengers between Heaven and Earth, Angels are present in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Since the dawn of time, we have called on them for help to relieve our sorrows and entrust our torments to them. Each Angel symbolizes a value or a strength which they can bless their protégés with. Know that if you have a problem, you can express yourself to the Angel of your choice according to your problem.
What do you have to do to hear your Guardian Angel?
To hear your guardian Angel, you must open your mind. If you apprehend life but from a rational point of view you are unlikely to hear the voice of your Guardian Angel. Of course, our spirit guides are not beings that we can meet in the physical world, so to hear them you must place yourself in a more divine dimension. Communicating with the higher beings is easier for those who are used to meditating and listening to their inner voice.
3 Ways to invoke and call upon your Angel
First of all, you need to know the name of your Guardian Angel. Then, each of us can get in touch with our Angel to ask for advice or to confide our hopes or fears. In order to contact the higher powers, we simply need to speak with an open heart. You can either speak to them in silence or out loud, it doesn't matter. However, our Angels are superior beings and attracting their attention is not so simple. If you do not succeed, the best way to contact a medium who can act as an intermediary.
You can ask anything of your Angel as long as you do not give them orders or do things that could harm others.
1. Prayer
To talk to your Angel, choose a quiet and restful place. It's best to pray to them at the same time, and in the same place. To make your prayers more effective, turn to the East. This is the side where the sun rises, so the positive energies are more present there. Turn off your telephone to make sure that no one comes to disturb you during this moment of communication.
Light incense and a candle with the Angel's name engraved on it. If your protector doesn't show you any signs of existence, do not hesitate to let the candle burn until the next morning.

🌟 Contact a Psychic to communicate with your Angels🌟
2. Meditation
Meditation is a good way to open your mind and heart to one's guardian angel.
Choose a quiet place in your home or outside, settle down, free your mind and breathe deeply. Think about the air entering your body and filling your lungs. Focus on the different parts of your body. Think of each part independently to the rest of your body (it's a bit complex and requires a bit of practice). Then, once you are totally relaxed, try to visualize your soul. This is when you will have to think very hard about your Angel by repeating their name. If they decide to answer you, you will quickly notice.
3. Writing to your Guardian Angel
In case of an existential crisis you can write a letter to your Angel. This letter should be written on a piece of paper on which you have written the date and the name of your Guardian Angel. Then, you must describe what is on your mind and what you want... Let your heart guide your pen and then end your letter by thanking your Angel for the intervention.
To mail your letter, hold it from the bottom, above a sink, then burn the top of the letter going from left to right and let it catch fire before you drop it at the last moment. Wait for your Guardian Angel's reply.
If after a while your Angel still hasn't answered you, it may be that your goal isn't right for you. By remaining silent, you'll soon realize that you are not on the right path and need to be guided elsewhere.
- Discover the prayers to thank your Guardian Angel -
How to interpret the messages of the Angels
In order to understand the response of your Guardian Angel, it is still necessary to interpret the messages they send you. What are the methods used by the guardian angels to contact us?
1. Angel numbers
If during the course of your day, you often see Angel numbers such as 444 555 etc, know that this is not a coincidence, it is in fact your Angel trying to tell you something.
2. The shivers
Are you're in great shape but often come over cold and begin shivering? It's a sign of your Angel's presence. More often than not, these shivers occur in a sacred place, when we have to make a difficult decision or when an unpleasant event is about to happen.
3. Your pet is behaving strangely
Animals' senses are highly developed, they are more sensitive to energy. That's why if your pet acts strangely, it's probably because it perceives a new presence; that of your Guardian Angel!

Here are two examples I think are interesting.
1) A ladder that is leaning against a wall starts slipping down. If the point where the ladder touches the ground (draw your own picture) is moving away from the wall at a constant rate, is the point where the ladder touches the wall falling at a constant rate? People may reasonably think that because the ladder is "rigid" the answer should be yes.
Differentiating $x^2 + y^2 = L$ (where $L$ is the length of the ladder, a constant) shows $dx/dt$ being constant certainly doesn't make $dy/dt$ constant, and in fact since $dy/dt = -x(dx/dt)/\sqrt{L-x^2}$ we see that as $x$ increases (while being less than $L$) and $dx/dt$ is fixed the point where the ladder touches the wall is dropping faster and faster. Some students may even say that from their experience or physical intuition this actually makes sense, which raises the question of whether this is truly a physical phenomenon or a purely mathematical one that has been revealed from calculus.
2) There is a gas is in a chamber with a flexible wall (so the chamber can expand or contract, e.g., a piston is at one end). According to the chemists, if we maintain the gas at a constant temperature while increasing or decreasing the size of the chamber then the pressure $P$ and volume $V$ satisfy the relation $PV$ = constant. (I am thinking of the ideal gas law $PV = nRT$, where $n$ and $T$ don't change.) One aspect of this equation which is obvious is that as the volume goes up/down, the pressure goes down/up. Question: If we decrease the volume at a constant rate, does the pressure increase at a constant rate, and more precisely at the rate which is the reciprocal of the rate at which the volume is going down? I think it's quite natural for people to make a snap judgement that if $dV/dt = -4$ then $dP/dt = 1/4$ because $PV$ is constant, but of course the product rule shows this is wrong, and moreover if $dV/dt$ is constant then $dP/dt$ is definitely not constant.
It's perhaps worth first discussing a situation where such intuition is right, namely where the sum of two variables is fixed, rather than the product. Find your own example where two variables $x$ and $y$ satisfy $x+y$ = constant. Then $dx/dt = -dy/dt$, which makes a lot of sense: the rate at which one goes up is exactly "opposite" to the rate at which the other goes down. But when the product is constant this is completely incorrect.

I concur with your first sentence! – Frank Thorne Dec 11 '11 at 14:14
So in fact the ( ideal) ladder hits the ground with infinite velocity! I guess that in the real world the top of the ladder slightly pulls away from the wall. – Aaron Meyerowitz May 22 '13 at 13:45
Here's something you could try, based on a passage from Richard Feynman's "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!":
Assume a constant flow rate, and see whether your students can be guided to a solution. You might try a warm-up problem, where you pour water into a non-cylindrical glass (a martini glass, or something more weirdly shaped) and try to determine how quickly the level rises, as a function of cross-sectional area.
share|improve this answer
I was actually looking at that same quote quite recently, and musing that I actually don't know what makes water running out of a faucet grow narrower. What is the physical principle I should be using to guide the math? – Sridhar Ramesh Dec 10 '11 at 18:31
Think of the flow as measured at a horizontal cross-section as the amount of water that passes through the cross-section per second. If the flow is uniform, this is the same at every cross-section, and in that case the area of water at that cross-section is inversely proportional to the velocity at that cross-section. – Todd Trimble Dec 10 '11 at 19:17
Hm... why is the "flow", in this particular sense, uniform? I mean, surely if I were to keep pumping a load of solid bricks into a pipe at a constant rate, ending in a vertical drop, the bricks, when dropping, would simply fall straight down, not attempting to contract inwards to maintain a uniform "flow" as they accelerate. (I may be completely missing something still) – Sridhar Ramesh Dec 11 '11 at 9:59
Sorry, Sridhar, I didn't mean to be glib. I'm afraid I don't have a really good answer, but I suspect the answer has something to do with the near-incompressibility of water: it maintains a very nearly constant density when in its liquid state. For a stream of bricks falling, bricks that were initially close together begin to separate: the velocity vector field has non-zero divergence. Whereas the velocity vector field of an incompressible fluid in steady flow has zero divergence. See e.g. Feynman Lectures in Physics, vol. II, section 40. But I don't know why water is incompressible! – Todd Trimble Dec 11 '11 at 21:41
And the surface tension of water keeps the cross section (approximately) circular. – Lubin May 22 '13 at 13:24
The following example is contrived, but I created it with the same frustration at the boring and repetitive nature of most related rates problems. Since I found this MO question by doing a google search for a "really interesting related rates problem," I'm recording this here for other instructors looking for juicier problems.
Question: What is the rate of change of the width of a shadow as you walk away from a street lamp considered as a point light source which is higher than your head? You can model yourself as a rectangle is you'd like!
The answer to this question was surprising to me. You can also ask for the rate of change of the trapezoidal shadow's area.
share|improve this answer
I don't know if it's obvious or nobody was motivated to work though the example, but the surprising thing to me is that the width of the shadow doesn't change! – Jim Conant Oct 29 '14 at 11:55

Metadata Lock
This document introduces the metadata lock in TiDB.
Concept
TiDB uses the online asynchronous schema change algorithm to support changing metadata objects. When a transaction is executed, it obtains the corresponding metadata snapshot at the transaction start. If the metadata is changed during a transaction, to ensure data consistency, TiDB returns an Information schema is changed error and the transaction fails to commit.
To solve the problem, TiDB v6.3.0 introduces metadata lock into the online DDL algorithm. To avoid most DML errors, TiDB coordinates the priority of DMLs and DDLs during table metadata change and makes executing DDLs wait for the DMLs with old metadata to commit.
Scenarios
The metadata lock in TiDB applies to all DDL statements, such as:
Enabling metadata lock might have some performance impact on the execution of the DDL task in TiDB. To reduce the impact, the following lists some scenarios that do not require metadata lock:
 - SELECT queries with auto-commit enabled
 - Stale Read is enabled
 - Access temporary tables
Usage
Starting from v6.5.0, TiDB enables metadata lock by default. When you upgrade your existing cluster from v6.4.0 or earlier to v6.5.0 or later, TiDB automatically enables metadata lock. To disable metadata lock, you can set the system variable tidb_enable_metadata_lock to OFF.
Impact
 - For DMLs, metadata lock does not block its execution, nor causes any deadlock.
 - When metadata lock is enabled, the information of a metadata object in a transaction is determined on the first access and does not change after that.
 - For DDLs, when changing metadata state, DDLs might be blocked by old transactions. The following is an example:
 Session 1Session 2
 CREATE TABLE t (a INT);
 INSERT INTO t VALUES(1);
 BEGIN;
 ALTER TABLE t ADD COLUMN b INT;
 SELECT * FROM t;
 (Uses the current metadata version of table t. Returns (a=1, b=NULL) and locks table t.)
 ALTER TABLE t ADD COLUMN c INT; (blocked by Session 1)
 At the repeatable read isolation level, from the transaction start to the timepoint of determining the metadata of a table, if a DDL that requires data changes is performed, such as adding an index, or changing column types, the DDL returns an error as follows:
 Session 1Session 2
 CREATE TABLE t (a INT);
 INSERT INTO t VALUES(1);
 BEGIN;
 ALTER TABLE t ADD INDEX idx(a);
 SELECT * FROM t; (index idx is not available)
 COMMIT;
 BEGIN;
 ALTER TABLE t MODIFY COLUMN a CHAR(10);
 SELECT * FROM t; (returns Error 8028: Information schema is changed)
Observability
TiDB v6.3.0 introduces the mysql.tidb_mdl_view view to help you obtain the information of the current blocked DDL.
The following takes adding an index for table t as an example. Assume that there is a DDL statement ALTER TABLE t ADD INDEX idx(a):
SELECT * FROM mysql.tidb_mdl_view\G *************************** 1. row *************************** JOB_ID: 141 DB_NAME: test TABLE_NAME: t QUERY: ALTER TABLE t ADD INDEX idx(a) SESSION ID: 2199023255957 TxnStart: 08-30 16:35:41.313(435643624013955072) SQL_DIGESTS: ["begin","select * from 't'"] 1 row in set (0.02 sec)
From the preceding output, you can see that the transaction whose SESSION ID is 2199023255957 blocks the ADD INDEX DDL. SQL_DIGEST shows the SQL statements executed by this transaction, which is ["begin","select * from 't'"]. To make the blocked DDL continue to execute, you can use the following global KILL statement to kill the 2199023255957 transaction:
mysql> KILL 2199023255957; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
After killing the transaction, you can select the mysql.tidb_mdl_view view again. At this time, the preceding transaction is not shown in the output, which means the DDL is not blocked.
SELECT * FROM mysql.tidb_mdl_view\G Empty set (0.01 sec)
Principles
Description of the issue
DDL operations in TiDB are the online DDL mode. When a DDL statement is being executed, the metadata version of the defined object to be modified might go through multiple minor version changes. The online asynchronous metadata change algorithm only establishes that two adjacent minor versions are compatible, that is, operations between two versions do not break data consistency of the object that DDL changes.
When adding an index to a table, the state of the DDL statement changes as follows: None -> Delete Only, Delete Only -> Write Only, Write Only -> Write Reorg, Write Reorg -> Public.
The following commit process of transactions violates the preceding constraint:
TransactionVersion used by transactionLatest version in the clusterVersion difference
txn1NoneNone0
txn2DeleteOnlyDeleteOnly0
txn3WriteOnlyWriteOnly0
txn4NoneWriteOnly2
txn5WriteReorgWriteReorg0
txn6WriteOnlyWriteReorg1
txn7PublicPublic0
In the preceding table, the metadata version used when txn4 is committed is two versions different from the latest version in the cluster. This might cause data inconsistency.
Implementation details
Metadata lock can ensure that the metadata versions used by all transactions in a TiDB cluster differ by one version at most. To achieve this goal, TiDB implements the following two rules:
 - When executing a DML, TiDB records metadata objects accessed by the DML in the transaction context, such as tables, views, and corresponding metadata versions. These records are cleaned up when the transaction is committed.
 - When a DDL statement changes state, the latest version of metadata is pushed to all TiDB nodes. If the difference between the metadata version used by all transactions related to this state change on a TiDB node and the current metadata version is less than two, the TiDB node is considered to acquire the metadata lock of the metadata object. The next state change can only be executed after all TiDB nodes in the cluster have obtained the metadata lock of the metadata object.

Films released on DVD offer a wealth of resources that can be harnessed for the classroom. The Diamond Edition of Disney's Beauty and the Beast is a fine example of this. The blue ray edition offers teachers a plethora of resources including:
- Special Extended and Original Theatrical Editions: Two versions of Beauty and the Beast are available from the outset. A 92-minute "Special Extended Edition" and the film's 85-minute theatrical cut.
- Storyreel Picture-in-Picture Experience: Students can view the theatrical cut alongside the filmmakers' original storyreel, an incredibly early version of the film that features rough animation, hand-drawn storyboards and other preproduction artwork.
- Audio Commentary: Producer Don Hahn and co-directors Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale discuss the Special Extended Edition of Beauty and the Beast and waste little time doing so. The trio dissect the story and characters, the animation techniques utilized throughout the film, its place in Disney history, the dialogue and songs, casting and the voice recording sessions, the challenges they faced during its long and complex production and much, much more. It's a thoroughly engaging and informative track that should not be missed.
- Sing Along Track: The Special Extended cut even offers a text-based "Sing Along Mode" for center based learning or sing along as a group.
- Fast Play: Looking for yet another way to watch Beauty and the Beast? In a fit of overkill, the BD wizards at Disney have also devised a "Fast Play Mode" that allows you to customize and automate the viewing experience based on classroom time constraints.
- Beyond Beauty (HD, 157 minutes): An interactive, feature-length behind-the-scenes documentary teeming with worthwhile bonus content all its own (simply press "enter" when the on-screen icons appear to extend the experience further). A handy pop-up menu even keeps track of which sub-featurettes and branching segments you have and haven't watched, making the whole of the documentary as effortless as it is extensive.
- Classic DVD Bonus Features (SD, 62 minutes): The previously released DVD's high quality materials are included as well, albeit in standard definition. "The Story Behind the Story" digs into seven separate Disney films; Hahn presides over an early presentation reel and an alternate version of "Be Our Guest;" Menken unveils an alternate score for "The Transformation;" Hahn and Menken introduce "Human Again," a deleted song comprised of storyboards; a collection of "Animation Tests, Roughs & Clean-Ups" proves to be an all-too-short treat; a "Camera Move Test" provides a glimpse at the virtual sets created for the film's most complex shots; a "Music Video" features Celine Dion performing "Beauty and the Beast;" and a series of trailers and TV spots will satisfy completists.
- Composing a Classic (HD, 20 minutes): Composer Alan Menken, music agent and Disney historian Richard Kraft, and producer Don Hahn chat at length about the film's rousing songs and musical score, as well as the art of furthering a story through music.
- Broadway Beginnings (HD, 13 minutes): A string of name-that-face celebrities, production team members and stage actors wax poetic about the Broadway adaptation of the film.
- Music Video (HD, 3 minutes): Jordin Sparks performs "Beauty and the Beast."
- Enchanted Musical Challenge (HD): A more accessible game in which players have to search the Beast's castle and answer trivia questions to find four of Belle's friends.
Many reviewers don't see the value in some of the resources in the Diamond Edition but for those of in the classroom, its a powerful tool that allows us to incorporate pop culture into our lesson plans.

For SOUTHCOM Chief, International Partnerships Key to Out-Competing China in Latin America
U.S. Army Gen. Laura Richardson, head of the U.S. Southern Command, participated in a Center for Strategic and International Studies event on Friday, where she said partnerships with Latin American countries in space could help push back against the threat China poses.
Richardson, who had accompanied NASA Administrator Bill Nelson during his recent tour of South America, said such partnerships, which she described as "like-minded democracies working together," would help the United States out-compete its adversaries, the Department of Defense website reported.
A 2022 CSIS study says that China has established multiple ground stations in South America. Ground stations are the terrestrial component of space infrastructure and work to enable the operation of various spacecraft, including satellites.
The proximity of China's ground stations to the United States, however, has raised fears they may be used for civilian as well as military and espionage purposes.
Among the South American countries hosting Chinese space facilities is Argentina, which signed on to the Artemis Accords during Nelson's recent visit.

(512g) Relevance of Thermophysical Property Data in Rate-Based Gas Treating Simulations
The incorporation of high quality vapor-liquid equilibrium data (VLE) for acid gases in aqueous amine-based solvents at low loadings has been used to improve rate-based simulations for gas treating applications. With increased attention to lower acid gas emissions, customers require more accurate predictions of acid gas concentrations throughout the system in order to improve process operation, design, and integration. More accurate VLE data in the low lean region (0.01 to 0.001 mol acid gas per mol amine) will enable improved simulation-based optimization for factors such as circulation rate and reboiler duty. Existing literature data in the low lean region for acid gas solubility in amine-based solvents have shown a large amount of scatter. In this paper, a detailed analysis of the current state of existing low lean experimental data is presented; gaps and opportunities are identified to improve rate-based simulation. Additionally, we will also discuss how the experimental data is utilized in the development of a rate-based simulation and the impact of its variability in gas treating applications.

History of Composites
The Evolution of Lightweight Composite Materials
Nordex Wind Turbine Factory
Sean Gallup/Getty Images News
When two or more different materials are combined, the result is a composite. The first uses of composites date back to the 1500 B.C. when early Egyptians and Mesopotamian settlers used a mixture of mud and straw to create strong and durable buildings. Straw continued to provide reinforcement to ancient composite products including pottery and boats.
Later, in 1200 AD, the Mongols invented the first composite bow.
Using a combination of wood, bone, and "animal glue," bows were pressed and wrapped with birch bark. These bows were powerful and accurate. Composite Mongolian bows helped to ensure Genghis Khan's military dominance.
Birth of the "Plastics Era"
The modern era of composites began when scientists developed plastics. Until then, natural resins derived from plants and animals were the only source of glues and binders. In the early 1900s, plastics such as vinyl, polystyrene, phenolic, and polyester were developed. These new synthetic materials outperformed single resins derived from nature.
However, plastics alone could not provide enough strength for some structural applications. Reinforcement was needed to provide additional strength and rigidity.
In 1935, Owens Corning introduced the first glass fiber, fiberglass. Fiberglass, when combined with a plastic polymer created an incredibly strong structure that is also lightweight.
This is the beginning of the Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) industry.
WWII – Driving Early Composites Innovation
Many of the greatest advancements in composites were the result of wartime needs. Just as the Mongols developed the composite bow, World War II brought the FRP industry from the laboratory into actual production.
Alternative materials were needed for lightweight applications in military aircraft. Engineers soon realized other benefits of composites beyond being lightweight and strong. It was discovered, for example, that fiberglass composites were transparent to radio frequencies, and the material was soon adapted for use in sheltering electronic radar equipment (Radomes).
Adapting Composites: "Space Age" to "Everyday"
By the end of the WWII, a small niche composites industry was in full swing. With lower demand for military products, the few composites innovators were now ambitiously trying to introduce composites into other markets. Boats were one obvious product that benefited. The first composite commercial boat hull was introduced in 1946.
At this time Brandt Goldsworthy often referred to as the "grandfather of composites," developed many new manufacturing processes and products, including the first fiberglass surfboard, which revolutionized the sport.
Goldsworthy also invented a manufacturing process known as pultrusion, a process that allows dependably strong fiberglass reinforced products. Today, products manufactured from this process include ladder rails, tool handles, pipes, arrow shafts, armor, train floors and medical devices.
Continued Advancement in Composites
In the 1970s the composites industry began to mature. Better plastic resins and improved reinforcing fibers were developed. DuPont developed an aramid fiber known as Kevlar, which has become the product of choice in body armor due to its high tensile strength, high density, and light weight. Carbon fiber was also developed around this time; increasingly, it has replaced parts formerly made of steel.
The composites industry is still evolving, with much of the growth now focused around renewable energy. Wind turbine blades, especially, are constantly pushing the limits on size and require advanced composite materials.
Looking Forward
Composite materials research continues. Areas of particular interest are nanomaterials -- materials with extremely small molecular structures -- and bio-based polymers.

Data generated from the Internet of Things (IoT) devices in smart spaces are utilized in a variety of fields such as context recognition, service recommendation, and anomaly detection. However, the missing values in the data streams of the IoT devices remain a challenging problem owing to various missing patterns and heterogeneous data types from many different data streams. In this regard, while we were analyzing the dataset collected from a smart space with multiple IoT devices, we found a continuous missing pattern that is quite different from the existing missing-value patterns. The pattern has blocks of consecutive missing values over a few seconds and up to a few hours. Therefore, the pattern is a vital factor to the availability and reliability of IoT applications; yet, it cannot be solved by the existing missing-value imputation methods. Therefore, a novel approach for missing-value imputation of the continuous missing pattern is required. We deliberate that even if the missing values of the continuous missing pattern occur in one data stream, missing-values imputation is possible through learning other data streams correlated with this data stream. To solve the missing values of the continuous missing pattern problem, we analyzed multiple IoT data streams in a smart space and figured out the correlations between them that are the interdependencies among the data streams of the IoT devices in a smart space. To impute missing values of the continuous missing pattern, we propose a deep learning-based missing-value imputation model exploiting correlation information, namely, the deep imputation network (DeepIN), in a smart space. The DeepIN uses that multiple long short-term memories are constructed according to the correlation information of each IoT data stream. We evaluated the DeepIN on a real dataset from our campus IoT testbed, and the experimental results show that our proposed approach improves the imputation performance by 57.36% over the state-of-the-art missing-value imputation algorithm. Thus, our approach can be a promising methodology that enables IoT applications and services with a reasonable missing-value imputation accuracy (80 similar to 85%) on average, even if a long-term block of values is missing in IoT environments.

Jianwaishu SI-14 Acupuncture Point
Jianwaishu SI-14
Chinese: 肩外俞
Pinyin: Jiān Wài Shū
Location
3 cun lateral to the lower border of the spinous process of the 1st thoracic verrtebra (T1), on the vertical line drawn from the vertebral border of the scapula.
How to locate
The levator scapulae muscle originates on the upper aspect of the medial border and the superior angle of the scapula. In this area, it is often myogelotic and therefore well defined and often sensitive to pressure (trigger point).
Jianwaishu SI-14 is located just superior to the actual muscle insertion. It is not located on the scapula, in contrast to Quyuan SI-13.
Main actions
 1. Opens the Channel
 2. Expels Wind
Needling
0.5–1 cun vertically or obliquely in a medial direction.
Caution: Pneumothorax.
Commentary for Jianwaishu SI-14
The function of Jianwaishu SI-14 is quite similar to this neighboring point Quyuan SI-13. It opens the Channel by removing the Obstruction. Therefore, it treats symptoms like pain in shoulder, scapula, arm and elbow. It is also effective when the patients are not able to turn their neck.
It should always be checked for sensitivity on pressure in case of shoulder issues.
In additional to that, it is also able to expel Wind in general, so as to treat Painful Obstruction Syndrome (Bi Syndrome) by Exterior Wind Invasion.


transom - mullion connection
Unlike conventional systems, the transom is not attached to the mullion with the use
of screws or any kind of connecting blocks.
On both ends of the thermally broken transom, a special TPE end piece is installed.
These end pieces have a triple function
 - firstly, the function of a sliding piece in the mullion chambers whilst
installation of the transom
 - secondly, the creation of a watertight connection between the transom and the mullion
 - thirdly, to allow the absorption of differential movements of the building or
thermal dilatations or contractions
As such, the transom is pinched in the slots of the mullion and an optimum connection between transom and mullion is obtained :
 1. following the x-axis (the longitudinal axis of the transom), the transom can dilate free
 2. following the y-axis (the longitudinal axis of the mullion) the transom is perfectly blocked
 3. following the z-axis (the axis perpendicular to the plane of the curtain wall) the transom is perfectly blocked as well

Figures 5 and 6 below show the mixture of renewable and non-renewable primary energy quoted by each manufacturer (including renewable energy from burning waste wood on-site). The ICE database does not provide an energy breakdown with its carbon factors. However, the Wood for Good (2013) EPDs, which formed part of the ICE database study and represented a 2013 UK industry average, has been used to give an indicative energy mix for the study period. Several observations can be made:
- Less energy is typically used by each manufacturer to produce 1m3 of mass timber compared to the Wood for Good analysis
- Less non-renewable energy is typically used by each manufacturer to produce 1m3 of mass timber compared to the Wood for Good analysis
- The A1-A3 embodied carbon factors correlate to the non-renewable energy component quoted by each manufacturer
Based on industry engagement, primary contributing factors also include varying transport distances during production, the energy mix of the country of manufacture and the utilisation of the factories studied.
It is also useful to compare the new embodied carbon factors derived to the value for conventional sawn and dried softwood timber.
The softwood value given in the ICE database and the IStructE guide is 0.263 kgCO2e/kg – very similar to the new values for CLT and glulam proposed. A review of current EPD data from Europe's largest sawn and dried softwood timber producers suggests that this value may also warrant reduction, and further work by the industry in this space is suggested.

New Rapid Multipoint Optical Flow Monitor
Phone: _PHONE_
This SBIR program will develop a novel optical diagnostic for mapping as flows in a spatially localized, nonperturbing way. The new technique has high-frequency response and fine-scale resolution, and can be absolutely calibrated. The flow is illuminated with two or more laser beams that intersect within the flow. Medium refractive variations produce beam phase variations, which are converted to intensity variations, and a selected scale size component of these fluctuations is then measured by differencing two nearly equal light intensities. Proof-of-principle experiments have already validated the concept. In the proposed Phase I program, this new diagnostic will be optimized, characterized, and then extended to the monitoring of a flow at many points simultaneously. Data obtained during Phase I will allow fabrication and delivery of an instrument to an Air Force facility during Phase II.

uucode
The definition of uucode
The point of uucode is to allow 8-bit binary data to be transferred through the more common 7-bit ASCII channels (most especially e-mail). The facilities for dealing with uucoded files exist for many different machine types, and the most common programs are called "uuencode" for encoding the original binary file into a 7-bit file and "uudecode" for restoring the original binary file from the encoded one. Sometimes different uuencode and uudecode programs will work in subtly different manners causing annoying compatibility problems. Bcode was invented to provide the same service as uucode but to maintain a tighter standard.

What is it?
Tailgate hinges are the pivot point on which your truck or SUV's tailgate rotates when being opened and closed. They are found at the bottom of the tailgate, at the back of the vehicle. The hinge will consist of two parts, one connected to the frame of the truck bed and one connected to the tailgate itself. One side will fit into the other and move within it. In this way, it holds the tailgate in place while allowing it to open and close when loading or unloading cargo.
Since they are almost always exposed to the elements, these hinges have a tendency to rust out, bind up, or elongate from use. Dirt or moisture can corrode the hinges or they can simply wear out and become loose from the weight of the tailgate. Loose hinges might make your tailgate or liftgate rattle as you're driving down bumpy roads. In a worst case scenario, a worn tailgate hinge could eventually give way and let the tailgate open up. Then it's time to replace a new one.
How to Replace Tailgate Hinge Inserts?
STEP 1: REMOVING THE TAILGATE CABLES. Pull out on the cable tab and lift the tailgate. Slide the tailgate cable up and off.
STEP 2: REMOVING THE TAILGATE. Lift up the tailgate. Slide the tailgate off the right hinge. Slide the tailgate off the left hinge.
STEP 3: REMOVING THE TAILGATE BUSHINGS
Pry the bushing out form the backside with a flat blade screwdriver.
STEP 4: INSTALLING THE TAILGATE BUSHINGS
Place a little bit of grease into the tailgate slot. Press the bushing into the tailgate.
STEP 5: INSTALLING THE TAILGATE
Grease the hinge. Lift the tailgate cables up. Lift the tailgate up into place. Insert the tailgate into the right hinge first. Insert the tailgate into the left hinge.
STEP 6: INSTALLING THE TAILGATE CABLES
Hook the tailgate cable into its slot. Grease the latch and tailgate

Why do operating rooms use shadowless lamps?
2023-04-18
Mingtai shadowless lamp is a kind of lighting device used in surgical operations, which has the characteristics of shadowless, cold light, high brightness and so on, and has the color temperature required by the operation.
The principle of the shadowless lamp is to arrange many light sources on the lamp disc into a circular shape, synthesize a larger area of light source, so that the light can be irradiated from different angles to the operating table, thus ensuring that the surgical field of vision has enough brightness.
The function of the shadowless lamp is to prevent the shadows caused by the doctor's head, hands and surgical instruments from blocking the surgical field of vision, which plays a great role in facilitating the operation.
The shadowless lamp also has the characteristics of cold light, that is, it will not emit excessive heat, causing discomfort to the operator, and can also accelerate the tissue drying under the light. The shadowless lamp also has the characteristics of high brightness and suitable color temperature, that is, it can correctly reflect the color of the lesion in the surgical area and be consistent with the light color in daily habits.
In summary, a shadowless lamp is a kind of lighting device that uses multi-point light source effect to eliminate shadows, provide cold light, high brightness and suitable color temperature, and provides good visual conditions and comfortable working environment for surgical operations.

The National AIDS Trust (NAT) is calling on the NHS to allow people with HIV to start treatment early in order to protect their sexual partners after two leading HIV clinical bodies – the British HIV Association (BHIVA) and the Expert Advisory Group on AIDS (EAGA) – authoritatively set out the scientific basis for HIV treatment as prevention.
In a statement on Tuesday, BHIVA and EAGA stated how treatment as prevention reduces HIV transmissions. By using HIV drugs to reduce the levels of the virus in their system people with HIV can become virtually non-infectious.
Deborah Jack, chief executive of NAT said: "A number of people with HIV want to start treatment early to lessen the chances of passing the virus on, meaning less worry for them but also fewer HIV transmissions, saving the NHS many hundreds of thousands of pounds.
"NAT approached BHIVA and EAGA to investigate the scientific basis for treatment as prevention. It's great to see this work come to fruition and to see these respected medical bodies endorse treatment as a way to tackle the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the UK.
Ms Jack added: "We now call on the NHS Commissioning Board to accept these respected agencies' recommendations and provide HIV treatment early to all those who wish to start it. This will provide important reassurance for many people living with HIV. It also highlights the need for society's understanding of HIV to change and keep up with medical developments."
Ms Jack concluded: "As a matter of urgency we need to reduce undiagnosed HIV and maximise the proportion of people with HIV who are tested, and accessing good quality treatment and care. At a time of such massive change within the NHS it is imperative that the newly created Public Health England ensures we don't lose ground on HIV testing but rather make further and significant progress in getting everyone with HIV diagnosed and into treatment and care."

Across from the Rock for Fort St Joseph is a stone cross that stand up on a hill that overlooks the river. At the bottom of the cross is carved the word Allouez.
The stone cross marks the location where Father Jean Claude Allouez is buried after his death in 1689. Born in France in 1622, Father Allouez was ordained in 1655, and then sailed to Quebec. He travelled the area by land and canoe and established several missions in the western Great Lakes region. He was fluent in Native American languages and after the death of Father Jacques Marquette he was assigned to continue Fr. Marquette's work.
Allouez came to Fort St. Joseph where he died. His final resting place was marked with a simple wooden cross. In 1918, the Women's Progressive League marked the site with a stone cross bearing his name.

This bone was found in May 2012 and reported through the Fishing Protocol by Dave Robinson on the Betty Peerley. The vessel was using static gear and the bone was found in the Wight sea area.
This bone was correctly identified by the finders as a mammoth bone. Lorrain Higbee, zooarchaeologist for Wessex Archaeology confirmed this identification. This bone is the proximal end of the femur or upper rear limb bone. Proximal refers to the end in closest proximity to the core of the body (antonym: distal) and this bone would originally have had a ball joint articulating to the pelvis of the animal. This example has been damaged during its time underwater and shows characteristic rounded edges caused by water action.

Of the staggers
An eighteenth century view of staggers in horses
source: Henry Bracken
starts p88, 12 pages long
Diseases affecting a horse's head are called staggers, and are similar to apoplexy and vertigo in humans. Bleeding should be the first resort for such brain diseases, which are caused by overfullness. Horses that stand for a long time and are not given exercise are especially prone to staggers. Brain fever and staggers may have similar symptoms, but the cure is the same. The amount of blood taken from the horse is more important than whether or not blood is let from the affected side. Some four or five quarts of bleeding is the most effective measure, if the horse has the strength for this.
There are special balls for staggers, but they can become a more expensive treatment than the price of the horse. However, cinnabar balls, which include quicksilver, can be given to a good horse. A glyster of senna and common salt is also a useful remedy, with a powder can be made with Afara Bacca herb, which can be blown into the horse's nostrils to ease the head through a watery discharge. There are a number of other recipes for curing staggers, but they tend to be based on superstition rather than an evaluation of why they might be useful, based on medicine, with help from chemistry, natural philosophy, mechanics and mathematics.
There are reports of remedies for staggers, such as putting cloves, rice, ginger, garlic and other objects into horses' ears, and this practice has driven some horses mad. Putting quicksilver in horses' ears is also a common remedy among farriers. German farriers are reported to whisper into horses' ears and turn them round three times. However three is no more magic a number than four, and English methods are more effective.

JULY 1, 2022 — Chemistry professor Aimin Liu has been awarded a three-year, $495,000 Accomplishment-Based Renewal (ABR) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to advance his research on the body's metabolic processes using an innovative method that will improve the understanding of amino acids.
By gaining more knowledge about the chemical processes underlying the body's metabolism, scientists could make new discoveries that change the way people think about health, food and their eating habits.
Liu's research project will pursue protein-derived cofactor studies, investigations where a protein's amino acid is substituted with an unnatural one. A cofactor is a chemical compound that is required for an enzyme to accelerate chemical reactions. It is often considered a "helper molecule" that assists or enhances chemical transformations within the body.
Although protein-derived cofactor studies were first conducted in genetics by Peter Schultz in 2001, Liu is applying the method to crosslink chemistry for the first time. This interdisciplinary approach will allow the UTSA researcher and his collaborators to strategically target a specific amino acid and gain a quicker and more thorough understanding of its function and purpose.
"This continued NSF support will allow my lab to continue to advance the understanding of the protein structure-function correlations using unnatural amino acid substitution through a genetic method," said Liu, the Lutcher Brown Distinguished Chair in Biochemistry at the UTSA College of Sciences. "We are the first group to bring non-canonical amino acids incorporation through the genetic code expansion technology to a new field."
Liu's research career spans over 20 years and has focused on the body's metabolism. His research expertise includes biosynthesis, enzymology and protein biochemistry. He leads the UTSA Metalloprotein Research Laboratory, which specializes in investigating how biomolecules use metals to perform chemistry necessary for life. His interdisciplinary research has been well-supported by the NSF, the National Institutes of Health, the Welch Foundation and other funding agencies.
As part of his research, Liu has been investigating cofactors that contain a cysteine-tyrosine crosslink, or chemical bond that has the ability to boost metabolic processes.
When a cysteine-tyrosine cofactor is added to an enzyme, it serves as a catalytic amplifier that speeds up the body's metabolism. By utilizing metalloproteins—proteins that contain metals like copper and iron—some enzymes can program a protein-derived cofactor to help the body digest and metabolize food significantly faster.
"This research will lead to a better comprehension of the enzymes that control the body's metabolism," said Liu. "Their proper function is fundamental to understanding a lot of what we know today about nutrition and diseases such as diabetes."
Liu and his team will work with undergraduate and graduate students to lend their expertise in studying the catalytic functions of proteins. These experiences will equip Roadrunners with the training they need to prepare for research careers in cutting-edge laboratories. It also aligns with UTSA's strategic mission of offering classroom-to-career opportunities.
The NSF grant will also contribute to UTSA's mission of preparing the next generation of scientists by supporting outreach activities and curriculum development in the Department of Chemistry. It will enable new distant learning programs and training opportunities for local high school students.
The knowledge UTSA researchers gain from this research project will be shared in a series of video lectures named "LiveSlides" and published online.
Liu is one of the first UTSA faculty members to receive an ABR grant, a prestigious award that is reserved for the most distinguished researchers who make significant year-over-year contributions to a specific area of research. He has received five competitive NSF awards over the past decade including, "Cys-Tyr Cofactor in Iron and Copper Proteins," which begins in October.

I have a generic N-ary expression tree and I want to convert the same to a binary tree. Is there any well defined algorithms to do the same?
I tried going thro' different algorithms of converting N-ary tree to expression tree like _URL_ but thats not going to work, as they don't worry about precedence and all.
share|improve this question
Can you expand on your requirements for the binary tree, vs the nary tree? Anything specific... or is your only requirement that children of a node, are simply still descendants of the same node? – ChrisCM Jun 4 '13 at 13:52

1 Answer
Simple answer.
Step 1: Convert N-ary expression tree with different levels of precedence into an N-ary tree where each node has only a single level of precedence.
Step 2: Convert that tree into a binary tree.
If you're seeking a straightforward solution rather than an efficient one, it may be easy to explode each node into levels matching your precedence, then after you have a binary tree collapse out the obviously useless nodes. If you want a more efficient solution, then you'll want to be more cautious in the initial expansion.

Using plotmaple to return multiple plots
I need to generate 4 different plots (one for each multiple choice option).
Is there a way to get all 4 plots using just one plotmaple call?
I currently have 4, and the question seems sluggish when previewing. I'm wondering if it is because of all the back and forth between Maple TA and Maple.
4 separate calls for plots shouldn't be sluggish, I would follow up with support on that concern, however you also have the following option:
I have used this many times.. use the Plots:-display command to display multiple color plots on the same grid, with a legend indicating what choice is what line. For example redLine=choiceA blueLine=choiceB.. etc
Here is a simple to follow example that illustrates this and also uses an algorithmic answer in the multiple choice:
Link to.zip file that can be imported into your Mobius Course (it contains a single question).
Hope it works out for you,
Have you tried using an array of plots?

Urban realism, with a touch of Renaissance idealism, was the bread and butter of the Fourteenth Street School, a group of New York artists who made their mark between the world wars. A new exhibition at the University of Virginia Art Museum, "Figure Study: The Fourteenth Street School and the Woman in Public," draws on the museum's collection of paintings, prints and drawings by these artists.
The exhibit opened Aug. 26 and runs through Dec. 23. The museum
is open to the public free of charge Tuesday through Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.
Artists including Kenneth Hayes Miller, Isabel Bishop, Guy Pene du Bois and Reginald Marsh, who all lived and worked in the Union Square neighborhood and studied or taught at the Art Students League, created a typology of urban dwellers, depicting them in various public and private activities.
Through these modern urban types, they cataloged changes in social and sexual politics that took place in the first half of the 20th century, according to exhibit curator Melissa Ragain, former museum Luzak-Lindner Fellow and an art history Ph.D. candidate in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences' McIntire Department of Art.
"It was in these changes that the painters of Fourteenth Street located their modernity, albeit with a painterly style indebted to Renaissance art," Ragain said.
Members of the group associated aspects of contemporary womanhood with the bodily types of Titian, Raphael and Rubens, their interest buttressed by the Art Student League's emphasis on life drawing courses forboth male and female students. Unlike the abstract painters who were their neighbors, the Fourteenth Street School depicted rapid social change through the enduring subject of the human form, as they searched for a Renaissance ideal among the crowds of Union Square.

Bertha Fuller and the 1940 California Historical Landmark Application "Old Salt Lake"
See the web page for the
California Historical Landmark (373), Old Salt Lake
In 1940 Bertha H. Fuller of Inglewood, California, did a brief survey of the famous salt lake site at Redondo Beach
for the purpose of establishing it as an historical landmark. She took three photographs and contacted people and
interviewed them about the famous old place. She then created an application titled "Old Salt Lake" and submitted it
to the state of California. Her application for historical landmark status was approved and the site was designated the following year.
The landmark registration process today requires considerably more detail and however brief the 1940 application to
the state was - Bertha Fuller understood the significance of lake site as a natural resource and landmark and took action
to document the place. A naturalist for over 35 years, Bertha Fuller was president of the California History and
Landmarks Club of Los Angeles, the Director of Conservation for the California Audubon Society. She was leader in
the state for the study and protection of wildlife, including an early advocate of protecting wetlands and lakes for

Name of Historical Point: Old Salt Lake
Location: Between Pacific and Francesca Avenues, at the northern end of Redondo
Beach--just outside of Hermosa Beach.
Name of Owner: Thomas H Simmons, 555 South Flower St, Los Angeles
History and Description: This old salt lake must have had a long, long geological
history. From the "Star" of September 26, 1856, one who wrote a history
of Los Angeles County quoted somewhat like this: Situated about 16 miles southwest
of the city of Los Angeles is a salt lake or pond from which is manufactured salt
of first rate quality. The lake is nearly 200 yards wide by about 600 long and is
supplied by springs on its western bank. It is about 200 yards distant from ocean,
above which it is elevated 6 or 10 feet. It would appear at first sight that it
was supplied from the ocean, but such is not the fact, as has been proved by frequent
The existence of this lake has long been known to the natives of the country and
from it they were, formerly, in the habit of drawing their supply of salt by shovelling
it up from the bottom. The missionaries who first settled here also knew of its
existence and claimed its proprietorship, but made no attempt to improve the natural
resources of the lake.
Some years ago this valuable property came into possession of two gentlemen of this
city., Messrs. Johnson and Allanson, who have expended a large amount of capital
in the erection of the necessary works for the manufacture of salt, by artificial
as well as solar evaporation.
Water is drawn from the lake thru an iron pipe by means of a force pump, and is
conducted into a reservoir, from which it is led by a wooden pipe into the kettles
in the boiling house. This building is about 80 feet long, and contains 48 kettles,
which are kept constantly heated. As the salt forms in the kettles it is removed
and water added in proportion to the evaporation. The salt on being removed from
the kettle is ready for market only requiring time to dry. The process is very simple
and the production of salt abundant, from the intensely saline quality of the waters
of the lake. In regard to the amount of fuel consumed it is estimated that each
cord of wood produces a ton of salt. By solar evaporation the salt is produced at
the cost of the tanks and attendance. There are five tanks in operation; they are
cleaned up this week for the first time and found to have answered all the expectations
of the proprietors. That one in which the water was of least depth proved most productive.
The daily average of the kettles is five tons.
Each tank, or vat, yields about a ton of salt in a crystallized form. Salt at present
is hauled to the landing at San Pedro at a large expense.
The water of the lake is so strongly impregnated with saline constluents that a
stick placed in it will be coated in ten days, an inch thick with crystallized cubes.
We saw some of them which were very beautiful.
It is singular that within 20 yards of the lake good fresh water is obtained, within
15 feet of the surface. Two wells, about this depth, and about 20 feet apart, supply
fresh water to the workmen.
Johnson and Allanson intend sending specimens of their salt, packed in satin bags,
to the State Fair."
The writer of the history of the county himself adds: "Since then works have
passed thru a variety of hands. They are now owned by Mrs Trudell, widow of the
late proprietor (1880). Salt is extracted by solar evaporation simply by cleaning
out the vats twice a year. The yield for 1879 was 450 tons. Crude salt sells for
$9 to $13 a ton--ground it sells for $18 to $24 a ton. Mrs Trudell has a salt mill
in Los Angeles where It is ground".
We went down to Redondo Beach several times to find men who were supposed to remember
the old salt works. Each time we failed to find anyone. Finally we telephoned the
Patten and Blinn Lumber yards on Francesca Avenue as that firm has been there since
1880. No one is now connected with the firm who is that ancient but we did find
a very careful observer in Mr Trankel who has been employed with the lumber concern
When he came in 1908 the old salt works were practically abandoned. At least they
were not being used to extract salt any more. On the walls of the lumber company's
office are two long panorama photos taken in 1909. The photographer was someone
connected with the West Coast Art Company of Los Angeles. Likely those plates still
exist but that particular company is no longer listed in the directory.
In one of these photos the old salt works are plainly shown. The houses stood just
back of where the Salvation Army Summer Recreation buildings are now, just across
the old long disused railroad tracks that used to bring the lumber from the wharves
at Redondo Beach.
When Mr Trankel came there were kettles for boiling the water and for evaporation.
The boiling tanks were huge metal vats--about 15 feet wide by 80 feet long. The
out of doors evaporating tanks were of concrete. So far as he recalls the buildings
were taken down about 1923, 4 or 5.
We went over the area carefully but found no trace of concrete or other building
structure that seemed to be part of the old salt works. The end of lake where the
building stood has been used for a dump for a long time and likely what remained
has been covered with this refuse.
As the attached photos show the lake is quite dry during the summer months and as
it is the natural drainage basin for a small acreage to the eastward in winter the
water may be several feet deep. It is the wintering place of shorebirds but otherwise
lies desolate and unvisited except by those who have made paths for shortcuts across
and around it.
One very interesting thing about the lake is that the fresh water vegetation is
on the ocean side while the salt grass and atriplex grows on the land side. Where
that great deposit of salt came from can hardly be definitely told. Had the lake
been formed as most salt lakes are: either from limitless numbers of years of deposits
from the sea with the arm finally shut off by delta like deposits from a stream,
or from being a pool without outlet, its presence would seem even more unusual.
There does not seem to be a sufficiently large drainage basin for any stream ever
to have carried a large quantity of saline products into an outlet-less basin---and
also while the sea might form a lagoon there by the currents carrying the sands
into the mouth of the river thus shutting off the pond the vast quantity of salt
present in the old days would have taken so many eons of years that this does not
seem possible for even this energetic sand depositing sea to do.
On the historic map of Major George W Kirkman the two roads leading inland from
this salt deposit are described as "Old Salt Road" and

This paper describes the use of indirect microwave holographic together with inverse scattering techniques for the reconstruction of the dielectric properties of unknown objects. The use of indirect microwave holography enables the complex field scattered from the object under imaging to be recovered from intensity-only scalar microwave measurements and therefore removes the requirement of using expensive vector measurement equipment. This significantly reduces the cost of the imaging system and simplifies the hardware implementation. Following the successful implementation of indirect holography method for shape and position reconstruction, we have explored an algorithm which combines indirect holography method and CSI method to solve the phaseless data reconstruction problem. Results presented here indicate that the material properties of composite dielectric objects can be accurately reconstructed using scalar measurements from indirect holography.

Irish Setter
Irish Setter
Beloved for their rich mahogany silky coat and their excellence at bird hunting, the Irish Setter is truly an Irish beauty. Due to their friendliness and enthusiasm with visitors, they are one of the most common pets all over the world. Discover more about our Irish Setter puppies for sale below!
Breed History
Their history runs back to the 18th century in Ireland where they were developed to help farmers locate birds in the wild. Irish Setters were not always completely chestnut in color, the original Irish Setters had a mix of white coloring with red patches on their coats.
In the latter part of the 18th century, the Irish Setter was not predominantly red, they were born sporting different colors. However, the red dogs were the most popular.
Irish Setters are gundogs – dogs specially trained to assist in game hunting. They were traditionally employed to hunt because of their swiftness, their quick reactions and their keen sense of smell.
The Irish Setters are fun-loving animals. They are always lively, they greet visitors enthusiastically and are very friendly with children. The Irish Setter has a high sense of alertness.
They are usually very alert to their surroundings. It is easy to train this type of dog because of the high level of intelligence they display.
They can be too rambunctious with children. They can pose a threat to small animals in the home because they are a breed developed for hunting.
The Irish Setter thrives on the availability of human companions. Leaving them alone and void of human connection can make them hyperactive and destructive.
 Stated earlier, is the love Irish Setters have for their human owners and the constant to be around them. They would do well in an environment that lets them make occasional contact with human beings.
They love to run. A perfect environment for this breed is one that is fenced, which would allow them room to run as much as they want without the risk of wandering away from home.
However, it is inadvisable to keep this breed in an isolated place like a backyard all by itself as they can get destructive, bored and hyperactive over time.
The Irish Setter is an energetic dog. It loves to run around and initiate physical activities with owners or visitors alike. They require an hour of exercise daily.
Owners can achieve help them achieve this in different ways. As a hunting dog, it loves the wild, so owners can schedule jogs with it. Owners can also take bicycle rides and the Irish Setter would excitedly run after the bicycle.
The Irish Setter is not advised for people who spend long hours at work or people who don't live an active lifestyle. There are Another exciting way to get them exercised is Frisbee throwing.
Getting them to the pool and going for a dive is also great for their physical health. Hunting is a natural activity that they'd love to participate in.
Irish Setters have attractive coats that make them an easy spot in a sea of dogs. It is an important feature that sets it apart from other dogs in the world. They possess a coat that is not too long and aligns perfectly with the rest of their body.
Irish Setters are to be brushed often to keep the luster of the coat. They should be checked for debris after a fun time out. They usually don't need a bath for more than a few times in a year. To avoid getting his skin and coat parched, dog shampoo should be utilized.
Clean their ears weekly with a recommended cleanser and cotton ball, to prevent ear infections. Nails should be trimmed every month and their teeth should be brushed to prevent the buildup of bacteria in their denture.
The unregulated breeders who are selling outside of the USDA regulations and without a license are what we consider to be "Puppy Mills." We are committed to offering Irish Setter puppies who will grow up to become important members of your family. We only purchase puppies from the very best sources, and we stand behind every puppy we sell.
Contact us today to learn more about the availability of our Irish Setter puppies for sale. We look forward to helping you find your next family member. Our pet counselors can answer any questions you have about our Irish Setter puppies.
Top Ten Frequently Asked Questions about the Irish Setter
Are Irish Setters unstable and hyperactive?
Irish Setters gained a reputation as 'hyper dogs' in the 1970s when they became popular. This reputation has people believing they are highly unstable. While they are quite energetic, they only become hyperactive and unstable if they are not being constantly exercised or if they are not well trained.
How much grooming do Irish Setters need?
Their long chestnut coat does require some care but a habit of brushing them daily is the minimum they need.
Are Irish Setters good guard dogs?
While they are highly sensitive to changes in their surroundings, they would only alert owners to the presence of a threat. They would however not be doing any attacking the intruders. They are more likely to find a place to hide or greet the stranger happily.
How often should Irish Setters be fed?
Irish Setters require feeding three times a day when they are less than six months old. When they are older, feeding could be reduced to twice a day.
Do Irish Setters shed a lot?
They don't shed easily even though they have a long coat.
Are Irish Setters good apartment pets?
Old Irish setters possess good house manners. Young ones are however not great for apartments because they need room to run.
What is Irish Setters life expectancy?
They usually live for about 12 years.
How tall do Irish Setters get?
Male Irish Setters can grow to about 67 cm while females grow to a height of 62 cm.
How big do Irish Setters get?
Adult males can grow to a size of 32 kg and females reach an optimum of 29kg.
What should Irish Setters be fed?
They prefer homemade food, i.e. Real food
The Irish Setter is a breed that is easy to care for. As a very athletic animal, it challenges owners into an active lifestyle.

Rice Coordinated Agricultural Project(RiceCAP)
RiceCAP is the abbreviated name for the Rice Coordinated Agricultural Project. The University of Arkansas is the lead institution on this $5 million dollar, 4-year grant from the NIFA National Research Initiative (NRI) competitive grants program. Rice is an important crop for both the United States and the world, and Arkansas produces approximately half of the rice grown in the United States.
The grant title is "A Coordinated Research, Education, and Extension Project for the Application of Genomic Discoveries to Improve Rice in the United States." The project will initiate and coordinate research on rice at several institutions in different states. More importantly, it will combine research, education and extension to:
- develop new technology for rice production,
- educate the next generation of scientists in use of this technology for plant breeding, and
- through extension efforts, will educate the farmers and consumers of the value of using genomic information to improve agricultural crops.
The rice genome was completely sequenced recently and is being analyzed using genomic tools and resources. The RiceCAP will use the genomic sequence, tools, and resources to solve problems in rice production and improvement that can not easily be solved by traditional plant breeding. The research goals of the RiceCAP are to identify genes and markers for traits important for milling yield (the amount of processed rice on which a farmer makes income) and for resistance to sheath blight disease. Traditional plant breeding has not made much progress on improving milling yield or resistance to sheath blight disease. Thus, the RiceCAP provides an exciting opportunity for developing new genomic and molecular biotechnology tools for more efficient and effective rice cultivars which, in turn, can lead to improved economics of rice production.
