RMSCookieConnector - Using Cookies in J2ME
By: Michael Juntao Yuan and Ju Long Printer Friendly Format
The RMSCookieConnector class stores cookies in an RMS record store. An RMS record store is accessed by its name, rather than reference, and can persist between soft resets, or reboots. That ensures an old session remains valid when a user later returns to an application after previously quitting it. Considering most people use their mobile information devices for many different tasks simultaneously, cookie persistence is a desired feature.
Remember, RFC 2109 allows us to separate cookies for different sites by examining the domain attribute associated with each cookie. However, implementing the full specifications in RFC 2109 requires rather complex string parsing and proves quite expensive in terms of memory footprint and CPU usage. Instead of being fully specification-compliant, we decided to use a simpler approach: We simply discard all the attributes information accompanying the set-cookie header and associate each cookie with the real host it comes from. We derive the host name from a call to HttpConnection.getHost(). When we connect to that host again, only cookies from the same host will be used.
We store these cookies and their host names in an RMS record store. An RMS record store only has a one-dimensional structure with sequentially ordered data fields. Starting from field number zero, we store cookies in even-numbered fields and associated host names in the odd numbered fields that directly follow each cookie field. The cookie storage and retrieval code is illustrated below:
// Get cookies from the connection and store them with host names.
static void getCookie(HttpConnection c) throws IOException {
 RecordStore rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore(cookieStoreName, true);
 // "While" loop to iterate through headers and get cookies
 // in to cValue strings.
 /* Start loop. */
 // Write the cookie into the cookie store.
 int newID = rs.addRecord(cValue.getBytes(), 0, cValue.length());
 // We set the domain default to the current server.
 String dValue = c.getHost();
 if ( dValue == null ) {
 // If there is no valid domain,
 // we do not keep the cookie.
 rs.deleteRecord(newID);
 } else {
 // All upper case for easy comparison in the future.
 dValue = dValue.toUpperCase();
 // Write the domain into the cookie store.
 rs.addRecord(dValue.getBytes(), 0, dValue.length());
 }
 /* End loop. */
 rs.closeRecordStore();
 return;
}
// Fetch cookies from record store and set into the connection header.
static void addCookie(HttpConnection c, String url) throws Exception {
 String domain;
 // Chunk of code to parse domain from input url.

 StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();;
 RecordStore rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore(cookieStoreName, true);
 RecordEnumeration re = rs.enumerateRecords(null, null, false);
 String cookie = "", cookieDomain = "";
 // Iterate through the cookie record store and find cookies
 // with domain matching the current URL.
 //
 // isCookie is used to tell whether the current record is
 // a cookie or an associated domain.
 boolean isCookie = true;
 while ( re.hasNextElement() ) {
 if ( isCookie ) {
 cookie = new String(re.nextRecord());
 } else {
 cookieDomain = new String(re.nextRecord());
 // Cookies are valid for sub-domains.
 if ( domain.endsWith( cookieDomain ) ) {
 buff.append( cookie );
 buff.append("; ");
 }
 }
 isCookie = !isCookie;
 }
 rs.closeRecordStore();
 // If we do have cookies to send, set the composed string into
 // "cookie" header.
 String cookieStr = buff.toString();
 if ( cookieStr == null || cookieStr.equals("") ) {
 // Ignore.
 } else {
 c.setRequestProperty( "cookie", cookieStr );
 }
 return;
}
Following the examples, you can associate each cookie with more properties, such as URL path and expiration time, in real-world applications when such needs arise.

Asia Frontier Markets: Economic growth full steam ahead
Asia Frontier Markets Outlook 2021, Asia Frontier Capital
The Asian frontier markets have done exceptionally well in the Covid-19 crisis so far, says Ruchir Desai, co-fund manager of the AFC Asia Frontier Fund, Asia Frontier Capital.
2020 has been a year like no other. It started with the outbreak of Covid-19 across the globe leading to panic in financial markets and countries closing their borders and locking down their economies. At the start of the pandemic there were concerns regarding both the healthcare and economic impact on developing countries like Asian frontier markets.
As we approach year end, Asian frontier markets have done exceptionally well with respect to managing the healthcare as well as the economic impact of the pandemic. Countries like Vietnam have amongst the lowest case numbers globally. The mortality rate in Asian frontier markets is also amongst the lowest worldwide.
(Source: Bloomberg, as of 18th November 2020)
Besides closing their borders at the onset of the pandemic, a very young population has led to a more manageable pandemic situation for Asian frontier markets as the median age of our universe is only 28.
(Source: United Nations Population Division)
Being able to control the pandemic has allowed Asian frontier markets to re-open their economies. Vietnam's lockdown only lasted for three weeks in April which has enabled it to see a strong recovery in its economy since then. Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have also witnessed a sharp recovery in economic metrics such as industrial production, automobiles sales, cements sales and exports. This ability to manage the pandemic situation relatively well is the key factor as to why some Asian frontier countries like Bangladesh, Uzbekistan and Vietnam will still manage to show positive GDP growth in 2020.
(Source: Asian Development Bank, International Monetary Fund)
The ability of Asian frontier countries to manage the pandemic and re-start their economies sooner than other developing countries will allow them to show stronger economic growth. Between 2021-2025, Asian frontier countries are expected to post an average GDP growth of 5.5% which is the highest globally compared to other regions. Asian frontier countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar, Uzbekistan and Vietnam are expected to post robust GDP growth rates of 6-7% over the next five years. We believe this divergence in economic growth between Asian frontier markets and other countries will be one of the bigger trends in 2021 and beyond.
Biden presidency positive for Asian frontier markets
Besides stronger economic growth, a Biden presidency in the U.S. will also be a major positive for Asian frontier markets. Compared to Donald Trump, the consensus is that the Biden administration will most likely take a less antagonistic and less hostile approach to resolving issues with China. This looming hostility between China and the U.S. over the past few years has had an impact on investor sentiment in Asia and less aggressive relations between the two countries can have a tremendously positive effect on investor sentiment in the region.
One of the most important trends that we foresee in 2021 and the coming years is the accelerated de-risking of supply chains in the face of the Covid-19 crisis. Most notably, Asian frontier economies like Vietnam are already witnessing a big benefit from this trend as both foreign direct investments and exports grew in 2020 despite the impact of the pandemic on the global economy. To elaborate further, Samsung now assembles the majority of its mobile phones in Vietnam and Apple's suppliers have also begun manufacturing operations in the country in the last few months.
Countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan are also witnessing garment export orders being diverted from China due to the lower costs that both these countries offer. Further, over the past decade Bangladesh has transformed into the world's second largest garment exporter after China.
The probability is also increasing that a viable vaccine to treat Covid-19 will be released in the first half of 2021. This will be another positive for Asian frontier markets as many of these countries like Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam have a large tourism sector. We believe that cyclical stocks in the airlines, airport and hotel sectors could outperform in 2021 as international travel becomes a reality again towards the latter part of 2021.
These positive developments are backed by extremely attractive valuations with Asian frontier markets trading at a big discount to their emerging market peers. With global interest rates anticipated to remain low for the foreseeable future and Asian frontier markets posting strong GDP growth backed by structural changes in supply chains which will benefit them, it is only a matter of time before these markets rally further after their very strong run since March 2020.

The roles of women in Latin America and Western Europe from _PHONE_ were alike in the neither having many rights, but differed in their mindset of the matter and drive to change it. Women in Latin America during this time period were content to remain at home. They saw their duties as being a wife and a mother above all else. These women could not vote. They could not gain a position in business or politics. However, they did have the right to participate in political discussions. The lack of freedom these women had did not drive them to fight for equality.
The view on their roles in the society was fueled by their heavily Catholic background. Because of the way Catholicism viewed their women, they did little to make any advances toward suffrage or any other rights. In Western Europe, women worked hard to make changes to their subservient roles. They had very few rights. They were able to participate in political discussions and could work in small business if alongside her husband and only if she was of lower class. They could not vote, divorce or work in political office.
When the "Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen" was written, the women fired back with their own version of it, the "Declaration of Rights of Women and Citizen" written by Olympe de Gouges. In this declaration they demanded the right to vote, divorce, own property in marriage, be educated and have a career. Because of their persistent attitudes toward equality, West European women began to gain rights. Women in both regions of Latin America and Western Europe, had very few rights but were allowed to participate in discussions if they so chose to.
They could not vote, or attain any position of important standing. They differed in the sense of their drive to change things in regards to their being viewed as subservient. While Europe fought for their rights, Latin America accepted their main duties to be in the household. They stayed home, worked hard and raised families. Europe wanted how their own voice in their government as well as equal rights to those of men and therefore their made attempts to gain said rights.
Because of their drive and ambition, these women did began to get what they were fighting for, whereas those in Latin America did not gain the right to vote and so on until later. Latin American women had little to no ambition to fight for equal rights and did not mind staying at home and just being a wife and mother. However, Western European women fought for their rights and ability to participate in government. Because of their persistency, European women eventually did get what they wanted while Latin American women's gaining of suffrage and other rights were delayed.

Some say that fish can last 9 or 10 hours in a bag (or even a day or two in some cases). However, it's best for you and your fish if you stick to leaving your fish in the bag for 5 to 7 hours. A lot of fish can stay alive without oxygen for 2 days in shallow water.
How long do you let fish sit in bag?
Float the sealed bag in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes but no longer than one hour to allow for temperature acclimation. The water in the bag should be the same temperature as that of your tank prior to proceeding to the next step.
How long can fish live in breather bags?
It depends on a host of factors, but in general, fish can easily survive in a bag for about 7 to 9 hours comfortably, and possibly up to two days.
Are plastic bags safe for fish?
A scientific study published by researchers at Haereticus Environmental Laboratory and the University of Maine shows that a chemical in plastic bags made to U.S. FDA food-grade specifications can leach from the bag into seawater at such high concentrations that it can be deadly to fish.
Should you feed new fish right away?
There is no rule to feeding new fish straight after acclimation, but the fish will tell you. Some fish will be out swimming immediately, while others may go and hide. A small feed to test their appetite will show if they are ready to accept food. If not, wait 24 hours and try again.
How many fish should you add at a time?
As a good rule of thumb only add up to 3 fish at a time to your tank. Once you've added the fish to your tank, wait until you've completed a nitrogen cycle and then you can add more fish.
Can fish survive without a filter for a day?
Oxygen is as important to fishes as it is to us for survival. Then it starts hitting the surface of the water for more oxygen. Nevertheless, the fishes are under a lot of stress and they can only survive for almost two days after the oxygen depletion.
How long can fish survive without oxygen pump?
Goldfish and their wild crucian carp relatives can survive for five months without breathing oxygen – and now we know how. The fish have evolved a set of enzymes that, when oxygen levels drop, ultimately helps convert carbohydrates into alcohol that can then be released through the gills.
How many days can a fish go without eating?
As for food, freshwater fish are quite capable of going for several days without a meal. Healthy adult fish can go for a week or two without feeding. However, young fish don't have the fat stores of adult fish and they cannot go without eating very long.
How long do fish live out of water?
On average, fish can live about 10 minutes outside of water but can die faster if they land on an absorbent surface. However, saltwater fish will often live longer, and certain fish, like amphibious fish, have particular adaptations that enable them to last for a long time outside of the water.
How long fish live in tap water?
Ordinary tap water is fine for filling up the aquarium as long as you let it sit for several days before adding fish (the chlorine in the tap water will kill the fish).
How long do pet fishes live?
Is it better to feed fish in the morning or at night?
When Should I Feed My Fish? In nature, most fish feed in the early morning and at dusk. Exceptions are herbivores and omnivores that forage throughout the day, and nocturnal species. Although aquarium fish can be fed at any time of day, morning and evening feedings are best.
Do fishes sleep?
While fish do not sleep in the same way that land mammals sleep, most fish do rest. Research shows that fish may reduce their activity and metabolism while remaining alert to danger. Some fish float in place, some wedge themselves into a secure spot in the mud or coral, and some even locate a suitable nest.
Do you have to wait 24 hours to put fish in tank?
If you introduce bottled bacteria and water from an established tank at the shop, the nitrogen cycle can be completed after 24 hours. It will take about a day for the chemicals to eliminate chlorine and bacteria to bring ammonia and nitrates to healthy levels for fish to live in.
Can a fish survive in milk?
The simple answer is "no," but the nuanced response sheds light on how fish, and all other organisms, function. Fish have evolved over many millions of years to survive in water with a certain amount of dissolved oxygen, acidity, and other trace molecules.
Do you leave fish tank light on at night?
Proper aquarium lighting is essential to fish and plants, but so is the period of darkness for them to rest and replenish. Thus, it's best to turn off your aquarium lights at night to mimic plants and fish natural light cycle.
Should I turn off filter when feeding fish?
If your filter is pushing water downwards then it can be a good idea to switch the filter off during feeding to prevent this — just be sure to switch it on again afterwards! It might also be worth considering feeding in smaller quantities so the fish can gobble up most of the food before it reaches the bottom.
Can I turn my fish tank filter off for one night?
It is not a good idea to turn off your aquarium filter every night. The filter plays a key role in the health of your tank, and shutting it down for hours at a time can eventually lead to problems. Second, your filter helps to aerate the water.
How long can a fish live in a small container?
A fish can survive in shallow water conditions for about 2 days, and may even live for up to a week if it is the only fish in the container. In a crowded situation, fish will compete for more oxygen, which will lead to a depletion of the gas – meaning that they may not last for 2 days. What is this?.
Can fish live in bowls?
Specifically, a bowl cannot provide an adequate living environment for any fish, big or small. So, give the fish under your care what they need and deserve: the biggest, healthiest home possible.

4, b: 2} ➤ 1: Closure (outerFunc) {c: 3, a: 1} ➤ 2: Global {parent: Window, opener: null, top: Window, length: 1, frames: Window, …}
Some of the browsers print a stringify version of object when use console.log() whereas prints object JSON tree when use console.dir(). There is not much difference in printing in advance browsers such as chrome where both methods print object JSON tree.
var obj = {a: 1, b: 2};
console.log(obj);
console.dir(obj);
We see that nothing much different when print object using both methods in chrome browser,
Output
▼ {a: 1, b: 2} a: 1 b: 2 ➤ __proto__: Object ▼ Object a: 1 b: 2 ➤ __proto__: Object
The console.table() method is quite useful to print a large set of data in tabular format to visualize it easily. This method also provides the ability to print a few fields out of those large data sets. When rendered in browser as a table, browser provides the ability to sort the columns of the table.
Let's look at the example where we are logging a large JSON in tabular format,
var personDetails = [
 {
 "_id": "5edbbb78633118f455e877fb",
 "index": 0,

You can print time taken by a code execution by using console.time() before and console.timeEnd() after that particular piece of code. Few pointers:-
 - console.time() and console.timeEnd() methods should have same labels.
 - You can also set up multiple timers by assigning different labels to the method.
 - console.time() and console.timeEnd() are part of the Console API (just like console.log())
Let's see how it works:
console.time('Timer1');
console.time('Timer2');
var items = [];
for(var i = 0; i < 100000; i++){
 items.push({index: i});
}
console.timeEnd('Timer1');
for(var j = 0; j < 100000; j++){
 items.push({index: j});
}

console.timeEnd('Timer2');
Output
Timer1: 13.088134765625ms Timer2: 26.070517578125ms
You can use console.trace() to print a stack trace of method execution flow to the console. Few pointers:-
 - console.trace() is compatible with the snippets feature of Chrome DevTools.
 - console.trace() is part of the Console API (just like console.log())
Let's see how it works:
1 const first = () => { second(); };
2 const second = () => { third(); };
3 const third = () => { fourth(); };
4 const fourth = () => { console.trace("The trace"); };
5 first();
You get @ file_name:line_number in console output which you can click on to navigate to the source.
Output
▼ The trace fourth @ test:4 third @ test:3 second @ test:2 first @ test:1 (anonymous) @ test:5
Use a Unit Testing Framework
There are many third-party unit-testing framework for JavaScript available with their own philosophy and syntax. Here are most widely used JavaScript testing frameworks:-
 - Mocha is feature-rich framework running on Node.js and in the browser, making asynchronous testing simple and fun. Mocha tests run serially, allowing for flexible and accurate reporting, while mapping uncaught exceptions to the correct test cases.
 - JEST is popular framework maintained by Facebook. It is a preferred framework for the React based applications as it requires zero configuration. It works great with projects using Babel, TypeScript, Node, React, Angular, and Vue.
 - Jasmine is a behavior-driven testing framework. It has no external dependencies. It does not require a DOM. And it has a clean, obvious syntax so that you can easily write tests.
 - QUnit is a powerful, easy-to-use JavaScript unit testing framework. It's used by the jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile projects and is capable of testing any generic JavaScript code
Thanks for reading till the end. I hope this tutorial would have helped you to find some useful tips for debugging and logging to the console, which you'd not known before.

If a sports team plays a critical game in which losing means elimination from a league, do they work harder to win — or does the high pressure mean they are more likely to make mistakes and lose? A new study in Frontiers in Psychology suggests the latter, finding that basketball teams playing for survival in critical NBA playoff games are more likely to lose. This suggests that the threat of elimination caused the teams to 'choke.' The study is the first to illustrate this effect in a real-world team sports environment — and may be applicable to a variety of high-pressure performance situations, such as those found in the workplace.
With the NBA 2018 finals drawing to a close, many teams will have experienced intense pressure to avoid elimination by winning critical games during the playoffs. Researchers are working to understand how athletes and others handle pressure, and how this affects their performance. Previous studies led some researchers to predict that high-pressure situations can help to focus minds and increase motivation, leading to increased success.
"Theories predict that individuals exert the most effort, and therefore produce their best performances, when the possible returns for their success — or the consequences of their failure — are highest," says Dr. Yair Galily, of the Interdisciplinary Center, Hertzlya, Israel.
However, other studies found evidence that high-pressure situations can lead to reduced performance and less success, when someone becomes overly focused on how to complete a task, rather than just doing it.
Many of these previous studies looked at performance under pressure in controlled conditions, such as asking soccer players to take penalty kicks while observed by researchers. Until now, no-one had explored the effect of high-pressure situations on performance in a real-world team situation.
To investigate this, Galily and a colleague examined stats from NBA playoff games, to see how athletes with a lot at stake coped with varying degrees of pressure in real games. The researchers predicted that teams would perform better when their backs are against the wall — meaning they would be more likely to win critical playoff games where losing meant thier elimination.
"We analyzed 1,930 playoff games to test this prediction," says Galily. "We calculated the probability that a team would win, if losing meant that they faced elimination from the playoffs."
The researchers included the relative strength of the teams in their calculations to make sure that their results took this into account. Strikingly, they found that the threat of elimination actually made teams more likely to lose, suggesting that they choked in 'sink or swim' games.
The effect was significant. For example, the researchers found that if a home team had a 65% general win probability during the playoffs, this was reduced to 55% in games that were critical for the home team, but not the guest team. However, if the game was critical for the guest team, and not the home team, the home team's win probability increased to almost 74%.
This is the first time that anyone has studied this effect in teams in a real-world environment, so more studies are necessary to further understand the phenomenon. However, the results are not just applicable to team sports, but could have wide-reaching implications.
"The results from our analysis are relevant to the workforce and many other domains," says Galily. "We suggest that leaders and managers should refrain from deliberately building high-pressure environments to try to enhance performance in their subordinates. They should adopt the 'just do it and enjoy' path."

"How many days until our trip?" and "When are we going to Disney World?" are questions you are likely to hear again and again as soon as you let your family know you are planning a Disney vacation. Having a way to count the days can make it easier on everyone — kids can check the number of days at a glance, and mom and dad won't have to answer the same question each day. Read on for some great countdown ideas, and enjoy the time leading up to your Disney vacation.
Mark the calendar: It sounds silly, but simply having the date marked on a calendar in plain view will help. Let the kids decorate the week with Mickey Mouse and Disney themed stickers, and post the calendar in a busy room like the kitchen. Older kids will be able to count the days, and little ones will be able to have a better visual of just "when" you are going as well.
Make a chain: Make an old fashioned paper chain using Disney themed papers (look in the scrapbook section of your local craft store for some great papers). Make one link for each day of your trip, and tear a link each night before you go to bed. If you have small children who are learning their numbers, count the links each night. Hang the chain in a visible area for a great visual reminder of just "how many days" are left.
Make a "thermometer": Draw or trace a thermometer image onto poster board, and color in a little each day, so that everyone can see at a glance how far off your trip is. You don't have to use a traditional thermometer — you can use Disney paper and cut any shape you'd like to represent your trip.
Fill a balloon: If you are feeling crafty, trace or print out a balloon shape onto poster board and hang it in a visible area. Use a Mickey Mouse paper punch to cut "Mickey Heads" from colorful paper. Cut one head for each day until your trip. Each day, attach another "head" with glue. When the balloon is full, it is time to go!

Step 7: IFTTT Recipies With Twitter and Particle
If you haven't visited IFTTT yet, you really should because it can do some really awesome things! For this project, we are going to use IFTTT to check for twitter updates so it can turn the red lights on our Remembrall on if we have forgotten to do something.
If you don't already have an account on IFTTT, create one. Next, click on the My Recipies tab in the top navigation bar, then click on the "Create a Recipe" button. Click on the word "this" and then search for the Twitter channel. Link your twitter account, and then click on New tweet by you with hashtag. Then, fill out the following information:
Hashtag: #a1
Click the "Create Trigger" button, then clock on the word "that". Search for the Particle channel, then click on Call a function. Then, fill out the following information:
Then call (Function Name): led_on on "(your photon's name)"
with input (Function Input): (leave blank)
Repeat this step by creating a second Recipe using "#a0" as your twitter hashtag and "led_off on "(your photon's name)"" as your function name. When you are done with this step, your Remembrall will now be able to read your tweets and update itself accordingly!
Step 8: Prepare Your Plastic Ornament
Your plastic ornament has a ring on each half of the top that will need to be removed before continuing. It's possible to break them off by hand, but I suggest getting an exacto knife and scoring them a few times to ease this process.
Next, sand the inside of the ornament to create a 'frosted' look. This will help to hide the electronics, diffuse the LEDs, and make the light look more similar to smoke. Run the inside of your ornament under water, take a small piece of sandpaper (I suggest using a finer grit), and begin sanding. Getting your ornament and sandpaper wet will help you sand smoothly.
Step 9: Create Your Ring
Take a ruler and measure 1/2" from the edge of your 3" mailing tube. I recommend creating a line around the entire circumference of your mailing tube to make cutting easier.
Use a saw to cut off this ring, making sure to follow the line you just drew as it's very easy to cut crooked! Cut a slit in the ring and hot glue it to the edge of your ornament half (the one with the lip on the outside). Leave about half of the ring exposed so the seam is hidden when the other half of the ornament snaps on.
As you will notice, 3" isn't quite enough to wrap around the entire ornament. To remedy this, measure the gap in your ring after you have hot glued it and cut a small piece of your cardboard ring to glue in place.
Step 10: Paint Your Ring
With your puffy paint, create small, evenly spaced dots around the ring. Once you've completed the entire circumference, let the puffy paint dry for several hours.
Next, cover your plastic ornament with blue painters tape. Using the gold leafing paint, paint your entire ring, making sure to get all of the edges. You will need to apply several coats of this paint (probably about 3 or 4), especially around the puffy paint.
While you are waiting for paint layers to dry, it helps placing your Remembrall in a cup so you don't get paint on any of your work surfaces.
Step 11: Solder Your Electronics
Using protoboard, solder 3 LEDs with the appropriate resistors in parallel with each other. Solder the female sides of two male to female jumper wires onto the protoboard, one on the positive(+) side of the circuit, and one on the negative(-) side. Repeat this process a second time on another piece of protoboard.
When soldering onto protoboard, leave all of the legs and pins of your electronics long until you are done with all the soldering. When complete, use wire cutters to cut everything down as short as possible (we will be a little tight on real estate in our Remembrall so this is very important!). I also recommend using a 3V battery to test your circuit to make sure it works before moving along.
When you have confirmed that everything is working as intended, take some electrical tape to wrap around the back of your protoboard to insulate your solder.
Step 12: Attach Electronics
Attach your Photon and your Lithium Ion battery to the battery shield. Next, attach your protoboards by making the following connections to the pins on your battery shield:
Protoboard #1 -
Positive(+): D1
Negative(-): GND
Protoboard #1 -
Positive(+): D7
Negative(-): GND
Finally, the most glamorous, well thought out step of all! (Can you hear the sarcasm in my voice?) Stack your electronic components on top of each other and secure them with some rubber bands or in my case, hair ties. It looks a little crude, but hey, it works!
Step 13: House Your Electronics
We are going to use some poly-fill to further hide our electronics, diffuse the LEDs and create the illusion of smoke. Begin by taking a thin piece of poly-fill and covering the inside of half of the plastic ornament. Insert your "electronic bundle" with one of the LED sides down.
Next, put poly-fill in the other half of your plastic ornament. Then, you can close up your Remembrall and admire what you've just created!
Step 14: Hooray You're Done....and Some Thoughts on Expanding This Project!
Well done! If you've come this far you have completed some thing totally awesome with unbridled potential to be almost entirely useless!
While this Remembrall only informs you when you've forgotten to do something from your Todoist app, there are so many other applications and internet connected items that you could potentially incorporate with this project!
Some ideas are as follows:
-Connect a Parrot Flower Power sensor to alert you when you've forgotten to water your plants.
-Tile, a lost item locator can alert the Remembrall when you're out or range of important objects like your keys or wallet.
-Use IFTTT to alert you when you've forgotten to respond to emails or phone notifications.
As you can see, the possibilities are endless!

Letter to the Editor: May 19th
Dear Editors,
If you are a university-age Ontarian, you likely remember the "Yours to Discover" license plates. The Ministry of Transportation first issued the blue-on-white reflective sheet license plates to Ontario drivers in 1996. They began with the format of AAAA-001. The plates are heavily distributed and can be seen affixed among most vehicles on our roads. However, if you have seen license plates which, like our current state of affairs, are blue, this is attributable to a decision made by the Ontario legislature.
In early 2020, Premier Ford's government announced it would redesign the current Ontario license plates to a new white-on-blue (or inverted) design. The new license plates also featured a new trillium logo and typeface, and a change in lettering font. After just two months of distribution, the new license plates were recalled due to visibility issues and funding challenges amid the COVID-19 global pandemic. Nevertheless, the license plates and their distinct features were rendered ineffective for two reasons.
First, these license plates are flat; they are not press-stamped with raised letters, like plates of old. This is a potential security threat, as counterfeiters now require less sophisticated machinery apparatus to produce fake or altered plates.
According to numerous online reviews, the license plates are easily constructed by gluing a thin laminate onto a metal template. The quality is questionable. The laminate used in the production of these license plates, designed by the conglomerate known as 3M, rendered the white lettering unreadable both to the naked eye and on camera. License plates are a matter of public safety, as they identify drivers in criminal situations, like a hit-and-run. Sneaky motorists may have tried to keep the plates to bypass expressway toll cameras. However, in facing a province-wide recall, luck has run out for these license plates.
With the vast majority of non-essential businesses having shut down, funding deficits finally prompted the discontinuation of these failed license plates. The Government of Ontario, routinely criticized for its management of education funding, was foolish to aimlessly spend money on 'rebranding' an already beautiful and thriving province. Such financial losses due to careless spending pose a million-dollar question: is Ontario "Yours to Discover" or "Yours to Recover"?

In 2007, the Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, was commissioned by the PMC to evaluate Globe: All Ireland Programme for Immigrant Parents. From 2007 - 2009 a number of interim evaluation reports were submitted to the PMC on the development phase of the project and its resources. In 2009, following the extension of the project, the objectives of the evaluation were revised. These objectives, which underpin this final evaluation report, are as follows:
Examine and assess the pilot phase;
Examine and assess the uptake and use of the Information Packs by parents and practitioners;
Examine and assess the partnership working and development on a multi-sectoral and crossborder basis of the PMC, and more generally in meeting the needs of immigrant parents;
Examine and assess the mainstreaming of learning and good practice; and
Examine and assess the training/awareness raising and support of practitioners in delivering the programme.
- A very high number of potential future professionals received the capacity and awareness training day and globe toolkit. The PMC or member organisations should consider initiating contact and work with further/higher education institutions who received the capacity and awareness training and resources. Attempts should be made to track the extensive numbers of students who received the training and resources to examine future use in practice.
- In any potential revisions to the toolkit the possibility of adding signposts to online or hardcopy sources of information should be explored.
- Consider refining the information pack to reflect more local information, or signposting practitioners and parents to sources of local information.
- The provision of an electronic toolkit is a positive, cost-effective development in sustaining the globe. However, it is clear that the resources, in tandem with the capacity and awareness training day, have made the most impact. Any electronic circulation of the toolkit should be done so with consideration for the capacity and awareness training day developed by culturewise.
- In addition to this successful mainstreaming approach, the pmc or member organisations should consider a dissemination plan for the findings of this evaluation and learning from the toolkit more generally.


Cave-Myth Busters: Was There Really a 'Gay Caveman' After All?

The alleged "gay caveman" that archaeologists recently discovered may not be quite what it seems, say other researchers. (via LiveScience)
When archaeologists uncovered the remains near Prague, the man was buried in a position used to bury females, which led the researchers to say they had discovered an ancient homosexual man. But some reports now indicate that the evidence is not conclusive and that nuances of the discovery extend beyond sexual preferences.
(More on See pictures of archaeology in Jerusalem)
LiveScience reports that Kamila Remisova Vesinova, the archaeologist who headed the discovery, told reporters the man may have belonged to a "third gender," meaning that he could have been transsexual and switched between genders. Many archaeologists speculate that the case has been oversimplified in the craze surrounding the potential discovery of a "gay caveman." The third gender concept is a complex one, and researchers say the case should be studied carefully before conclusions are formed. In fact, there's not even conclusive evidence that the remains in question belonged to a transsexual because traditionally third genders had their own unique burial customs.
Moreover, the remains did not really belong to a "caveman." John Hawks, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, told LiveScience the use of the word "caveman" does not accurately date the remains and that they actually belong to the "pre-Bronze Age." Just goes to show that if NewsFeed really wanted to see a gay caveman, we could just misinterpret Fred and Barney's bromance on The Flintstones.

Suppose we have a simple DC power source charging a battery or capacitor.
If we try to measure the capacitor's voltage in this simple circuit we will instead read the power source voltage:
Is it possible to directly measure the voltage of the capacitor without disconnecting the power source and without knowing the capacitor's time constant and capacitance?
I.e., I'm wondering if there's a circuit that can accomplish this without exploiting the following solutions:
- If we temporarily disconnect or turn off the power source, the voltmeter will read the voltage across the capacitor.
- If we know the time constant and capacitance we could instead connect an ammeter and deduce the capacitor's voltage from that. (Or, if we knew it was fully discharged initially, we could integrate the amperage from the start of charging to calculate its voltage.)
I've been trying to picture some clever arrangement of diodes that might allow for measurement during charging, but that has left me thinking that this is theoretically impossible using a static circuit.

Filipina Sex Cams
Foreigners may have various reasons for wanting a Filipino partner, and it's important to recognize that individuals' preferences and motivations can differ greatly. Here are some common reasons why some foreigners are attracted to Filipinos as their partners:
Beauty and physical attributes: Filipinos are often recognized for their unique and diverse physical features. Many foreigners are drawn to the exotic beauty of Filipinos, which can include a range of characteristics such as tan skin, dark hair, almond-shaped eyes, and a generally youthful appearance. These physical attributes can be particularly appealing to individuals from different cultural backgrounds.
Warm and hospitable nature: Filipinos are renowned for their warm and welcoming nature. They are often described as friendly, hospitable, and accommodating. This inherent trait can make them attractive partners, as foreigners may find comfort and a sense of belonging in the company of a Filipino spouse or partner.
Strong family values: Family plays a central role in Filipina sex chat culture, and family ties are highly valued. Foreigners who prioritize strong family connections and a sense of community often find Filipinos appealing. They appreciate the emphasis placed on maintaining close relationships with extended family members and the importance of providing care and support to loved ones.
English language proficiency: The Philippines is one of the largest English-speaking countries in the world. English is widely spoken and taught as a second language from an early age. Foreigners who do not speak Filipino or have limited knowledge of the local language find it convenient to communicate with their Filipino partners in English. This shared language can facilitate better understanding and connection between individuals from different cultural backgrounds.
Cultural compatibility: Filipinos have been exposed to diverse cultures and have developed a flexible and adaptable mindset. They are known for being able to easily assimilate and adjust to different cultures, making them compatible partners for foreigners. Their openness to new experiences and willingness to learn about their partner's culture can contribute to a harmonious and enriching relationship.
Strong work ethic and resilience: Filipinos are known for their hard work, dedication, and resilience. Many Filipinos are willing to go the extra mile to provide for their families and loved ones. This commitment to personal and professional growth can be appealing to foreigners seeking partners who share similar values and aspirations.
Appreciation of traditional gender roles: Some foreigners may be attracted to the more traditional gender roles that are still prevalent in Filipino culture. In many Filipino families, there is a clear division of labor, with women often taking on domestic responsibilities and men assuming the role of the primary breadwinner. Foreigners who appreciate these traditional dynamics may seek out Filipino partners who align with their own values and expectations.
Sense of humor and positive outlook: Filipinos are known for their sense of humor and ability to find joy in even the most challenging situations. Their positive outlook on life and ability to maintain optimism can be attractive to foreigners who value a partner with a lighthearted and positive approach to life.
Intercultural learning and adventure: For some foreigners, being in a relationship with a Filipino partner provides an opportunity for intercultural learning and experiencing a different way of life. They may be drawn to the richness of Filipino culture, traditions, and cuisine, and see their relationship as a gateway to exploring and embracing new experiences.
It is crucial to recognize that these reasons are generalizations and do not apply to every individual. Each person has their own unique preferences and motivations when it comes to choosing a partner, and it is essential to approach these matters with respect and cultural sensitivity. Building a successful and fulfilling relationship ultimately depends on mutual understanding, love, and shared values between partners, regardless of their cultural backgrounds. _URL_

Political Financing Handbook for Leadership Contestants and Financial Agents (EC 20195) – January 2022
This chapter explains the rules and procedures for accepting and sending transfers. It covers the following topics:
- What is a transfer?
- Transfers sent to the leadership contestant
- Transfers sent by the leadership contestant
- Party memberships purchased by the leadership contestant's campaign
- Irregular transfers
What is a transfer?
A transfer is a provision of funds, property or services between specified political entities of the same political affiliation. Where specifically permitted under the Canada Elections Act, a transfer is not considered to be a contribution, and contribution rules therefore do not apply.
|Monetary transfer||Non-monetary transfer|
|A monetary transfer is a transfer of funds.||A non-monetary transfer is a transfer of property or services. The amount of a non-monetary transfer is the commercial value of the property or service.
Unlike non-monetary contributions from individuals not in the business of providing that property or service, a non-monetary transfer has to be reported even if its commercial value is $200 or less.
Transfers are permitted only between related political entities (registered party, electoral district association, candidate and leadership or nomination contestant) of the same political affiliation.
However, not all types of entities are authorized to provide all types of transfers. For a quick reference guide to eligible and ineligible transfers, see the Transfers—types and rules table in Chapter 1, Reference Tables and Timelines.
Note: If an invoice requiring payment is prepared by one political entity and sent to its related political entity, together with the original supplier invoice representing the commercial value of the goods or services provided, this is not a transfer but a sale of goods or services from one entity to another.
Transfers sent to the leadership contestant's campaign
Only the financial agent or leadership campaign agents can accept transfers on the campaign's behalf. The following transfers may be accepted by the leadership contestant's campaign:
- property or services from the registered party or from any registered association of the registered party, as long as it is offered equally to all contestants
- funds in the form of directed contributions from the registered party
The registered party creates a web page on its site for each leadership contestant for use during the contest period. The commercial value of creating the web pages is $150 per contestant. The party sends each contestant a copy of the original supplier invoice for $150 and reports a non-monetary transfer of $150 to each contestant. Each contestant reports a non-monetary transfer from the party and a leadership contest expense of $150.
Note: Transfers may not be accepted from provincial parties or electoral district associations of provincial parties. Transfers from a registered provincial division of a federal registered party are considered transfers from the registered party.
Transfers sent by the leadership contestant's campaign
Only the financial agent or leadership campaign agents can send transfers on the campaign's behalf.
The following transfers may be sent by the leadership contestant's campaign:
- funds to the registered party
- funds to a registered association of the party
After contest day, the financial agent pays all campaign expenses and calculates $3,000 in surplus funds. The financial agent transfers $3,000 to a registered association of the party to dispose of the surplus.
Party memberships purchased by the leadership contestant's campaign
Voting in a leadership contest is generally restricted to party members. For this reason, a leadership contestant's campaign will sometimes buy party memberships for its supporters. This is not prohibited by the Canada Elections Act. When a leadership campaign pays for memberships, the payment is recorded as a transfer to the registered party.
More commonly, a campaign will collect party membership fees from individuals, deposit the funds into its bank account and then send the funds to the registered party. This transaction is also a transfer. If the membership fee is no more than $25 per year for a period of no more than five years, the individuals have not made contributions and the registered party does not need additional information from the campaign. Above those thresholds, the campaign will need to provide the registered party with details to record contributions from the individuals.
Note: Some registered parties have internal rules that prohibit contestants from buying memberships for supporters. Campaigns should be aware of the rules that apply to their contest.
When the leadership contestant's campaign sends or accepts a transfer that is not permitted under the Canada Elections Act, the consequences will depend on the sender, recipient and transfer type.
The tables below deal with irregular transfers between affiliated political entities only.
|Recipient of irregular transfer sent by leadership contestant||Transfer type||Consequence|
|Candidate||Monetary||Improper surplus disposal with offence for sender; not a contribution|
|Candidate||Non-monetary||If capital asset, improper surplus disposal with offence for sender; not a contribution*|
|Non-monetary||If capital asset, improper surplus disposal with offence for sender; not a contribution*|
*Remaining non-capital assets or services can be provided to the candidate, association or party, but they must either be sold to that political entity or contributed by the contestant as a personal non-monetary contribution.
After contest day, the leadership contestant's campaign gives tablets it had purchased for $300 each to the registered association in the contestant's riding. This is not an allowable transfer. It is an improper disposal of surplus by the contestant that will need to be corrected. To properly dispose of the tablets, which are capital assets, the campaign should have sold the tablets at fair market value and transferred the proceeds of the sale to the association or party.
|Sender of irregular transfer accepted by leadership contestant||Transfer type||Consequence|
|Monetary||Prohibited transfer with offences for sender and recipient; not a contribution|
|Non-monetary, not offered equally to all contestants||Prohibited transfer with offence for sender; not a contribution|
*If the transfer is non-monetary and the candidate offered it equally to all contestants, it is not a contribution. It may be an improper surplus disposal.
A leadership contestant's campaign accepts funds from another campaign whose contestant plans to withdraw. This is not an allowable transfer. It is an illegal contribution. Within 30 days of becoming aware of the contravention, the financial agent must return the contribution to the sender (if unused) or remit the amount to Elections Canada.

It has become common to find a convenience store that also sells gas. These data describe the sales over time at a franchise outlet of a major U.S. oil company. Each row summarizes sales for one day. This particular station sells gas, and it also has a convenience store and a car wash. The column labeled Sales gives the dollar sales of the convenience store, and the column Volume gives the number of gallons of gas sold. Formulate the regression model with dollar sales as the response and number of gallons sold as the predictor. When checking the conditions for using the SRM, remember that these data are sequential.
(a) Give a confidence interval for the difference in average sales in the convenience store between days on which the station sells 2,000 gallons of gas and those on which the station sells 3,000 gallons.
(b) Is $1,800 an unusually low level of sales in the convenience store on a day that the pumps record having sold 3,000 gallons?

As we are approaching the opening of the 18th Architectural Biennale in Venice, Bulgaria has unveiled the theme and details of its exhibition pavilion titled "Education is the movement from darkness to light" which brings light to the rapid population decline that happened the last 30 years in the country.
Bulgaria's pavilion is curated by the architects Boris Tikvarski, Bojidara Valkova, and Mariya Gyaurova together with the Belgian photographer Alexander Dumarey.
"The topic of the Biennale is 'The Laboratory of the Future' as Africa is in the spotlight. The problems that will be examined through the prism of the projects are not only related to poverty but to the turbulent development of the continent and the problems stemming from it,' explains architect Bozhidara Valkova.
"Our topic is also related to two negative trends in Bulgaria – depopulation and aging of the population. While being a visual expression of the theme 'Education is the movement from darkness to light', the project focuses on a number of issues that we need to address in order to be able to look forward to the future."
Showcasing information about the photographed schools, furniture, and tools collected from the abandoned school sites, the curators collaborated with institutions and municipalities to gather these artifacts.
As the population declines, according to the architects' team, there will be fewer and fewer children to occupy the schools.
To visually illustrate the process of abandonment and population decline, the curators and Alexander Dumarey will document the processes of population decline and the abandoned schools of the country under three main zones.
The exhibition is divided into three main zones: the entrance, the classroom, and the interview/debate area.
These spaces are inviting visitors to gradually immerse themselves in the complex and pressing issue of shrinking regions.
"The project will become a platform for thoughtful consideration, prompting visitors to engage in dialogue about the challenges we face," state the curators.
"How do we cope with shrinking regions? How to address preservation? How to adapt to change?" are the questions emphasized at the exhibition.
These topics have been absent and not widely discussed in the country and the curators hope to provoke and lay the foundations for a more conscientious and informed discourse about shrinking and abandoned regions.
According to the curators, such phenomena exist throughout the entire Eastern block and forecast a global population decline.
The project was selected following a national competition organized by The Ministry of Culture, The Chamber of Architects in Bulgaria, and the Union of Architects.

Shiraiwa River Dam
The Shirakawa River Dam is a composite dam which combines a rock-fill dam and a concrete dam. It was built in the Tateyama Shiraiwa area to control floodwaters and regulate water flow in the Shiraiwa River.
From long ago this area was repeatedly effected by flood and drought. Since being completed in October, 1974, this dam has done what it was built to do; control floodwaters, replenish water supplies for unspecified use, supply tap water, and protect the livelihood of people living in the Shiraiwa River Basin.
The dam has a total reservoir capacity of approximately 2.2 million ㎥, with approximately 1.2 million ㎥ of that capacity being able to be controlled during a flood.

MCLE Self-Study: Putting Intent in Its Place: A New Direction for Title VII
By Noah Zatz
Noah D. Zatz is Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law. His teaching and research focus on work and inequality in contexts such as employment discrimination, social welfare policy, and low-wage work. Before beginning his academic career, he practiced at the National Employment Law Project as a Skadden Fellow.
At its fiftieth anniversary, Title VII faces a fork in the road. One path is well-markedâthe path of Ledbetter, Wal-Mart, and Ricci.1Along that path robust commitments to civil rights are choked off by the stranglehold of discriminatory intent. But what is the alternative? Piecemeal protests at particular results have failed to marshal a compelling competing theory of antidiscrimination law. I propose that we find new direction by taking as our compass the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Title VII's younger cousin.
The ADA's signature contribution is to characterize denial of reasonable accommodation ("nonaccommodation") as disability discrimination. Appreciating why that is can cast Title VII jurisprudence in a new light. It highlights the affirmative duties Title VII already imposes on employers, and it reveals how persistent legal puzzles might be solved with new tools.

 1. Bubbler
 A drinking fountain, also called a water fountain or bubbler, is a fountain designed to provide drinking water. It consists of a basin with either continuously running water or a tap. The drinker bends down to the stream of water and swallows water directly from the stream. Modern indoor drinking fountains may incorporate filters to remove impurities from the water and chillers to reduce its temperature. Water fountains are usually found in public places, like schools, rest areas, libraries, and grocery stores. Many jurisdictions require water fountains to be wheelchair accessible, and to include an additional unit of a lower height for children and short adults. The design that this replaced often had one spout atop a refrigeration unit. Bubbler is a trademarked name that refers to a drinking fountain.

The purpose of this report is to provide educators working within primary, secondary, further and higher education with a guide to how learner voice is currently being used to shape policy and practice in education. Case studies have been chosen to illustrate the potential impact learner voice can make across the UK's education sectors. Although the case studies provided are from different sectors – we would encourage readers to explore the methods and activities used in each, as these may offer new perspectives that you may wish to consider in your own context. In addition, the report discusses how digital technology may be used to advance learner voice initiatives by enabling greater learner-driven practice, as well as engaging all learners, particularly those who are typically under-represented.
The main aims of this report are:
- To summarise the evidence from research, policy and practice for the promotion of learner voice engagement across the primary, secondary, further (FE) and higher (HE) sectors of education.
- To highlight current learner voice practice and the need to enhance the process.
- To outline the potential role of digital technologies to empower all learners to have their say.
- To provide useful guidance on developing learner voice activities.
- To provide a directory of resources to engage learner voice across the education sectors.

High resolution three-dimensional surface images of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) can be obtained by field emission scanning electron microscopy. We present a short retrospective view starting from the early roots of microscopy, through the discovery of the cell nucleus and the development of some modern techniques for sample preparation and imaging. Detailed protocols are presented for assembling anchored nuclei in a Xenopus cell-free reconstitution system and for the exposure of the nuclear surface in mammalian cell nuclei. Immunogold labeling of metazoan NPCs and a promising new technique for delicate coating with iridium are also discussed.

Stories of Islanders in the railways
Discover the stories of Torres Strait Islanders to lived, worked and grew up around the railway tracks of northern Australia.
After the collapse of Torres Strait marine industries in the 1960s, hundreds of young Islander men made their way to the mainland in search of work. Little did they know they would end up scattered across northern Australia laying the veins of the mining industry: railway tracks.
Approximately 10 per cent of the Torres Strait population left the islands to support their families from the mainland. Their contribution to the development of Australia is not often written about, and because of this, university lecturer and railway child Leah Lui-Chivizhe has started a project to research these stories and write a book.
Leah is a lecturer at the University of Sydney's Koori Centre, and her research partner is Shino Konishi, an indigenous research fellow at the Australian Centre for Indigenous History, Australian National University.
The pair began work on the project "Laying the Tracks" in 2007 after receiving a grant from the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.
Leah says the idea for the project came from looking at the reasons why people migrated in the first place. "One of the key reasons was for employment, and employment in the railways."
In the late 50s the islander population was about 7000 to 8000 people. After interviewing several men who migrated, Leah estimates that up to 700 men came to the mainland to work on the railways in the 60s and early 70s. "Because of the large numbers, the story of the railways is known by most families in the Torres Strait," Leah says.
Though there is a concentration of Islanders in Northern Queensland (including Cairns, Townsville and Mackay), there are still communities of Islanders on the Pilbara, in Perth, Central Australia, Darwin and even Sydney.
Through the project, Leah also wants to highlight the contribution that Islanders made through their work. "Their efforts in the Pilbara, or in relaying the track between Mount Isa and Townsville, and putting in new rail links in the mining areas around Moura and Gladstone."
During the interview process, Leah has heard some touching stories. "One woman told us how her husband worked on the line between Mount Isa and Townsville. When he would go off for work, and it might be for about a week, she was pretty well left on her own at this small railway site. All she had for company was her pet pig that she would walk down to a local creek and take him fishing."
Often whole families moved to the railway sites, so many kids grew up in these isolated areas far away from the Islands. "People know on the basis of where people are born whether they're railway children or not," Leah says.
In many cases, the conditions the men worked in were tough. "In parts of Western Australia they were working six days a week for 10 hours a day in searing heat, in the red bauxite dust, which is very foreign to where they've come from."
For Leah, this project is a personal discovery as well. Her father came to the mainland in the 60s, so Leah is a railway child, born in Hughenden. At the time, Hughenden became one of the key recruitment places. "There was one guy who said that by the time he ended up there all he could see was a sea of island faces, as men waited to be signed up to work on the relaying project which ran from 1960 to 1963."
Leah and Shino hope to have a manuscript by the end of 2009. "A lot of the men who worked in the late 50s have passed away and there is some pressure on us to do this as quickly as we can so the people of that generation will see their efforts in print," she says.
Leah also believes it's important for the children and grand children to know that their elders did contribute something to the development of Australia.
"From many quarters there's this sense that Islanders or Indigenous people in Australia did as little as possible in terms of contributing to building the country but there was a lot that people have done."
Leah and Shino are always looking for people who would like to share their stories, particularly from people who hail from the central and western Torres Strait. You can contact Leah at the University of Sydney and leave her a message on the toll free number: 1800 622 742, or leave us a comment by clicking on the yellow link below.

Armchair + Wardrobe
revisited - adapted and manufactured by me and _USER_
In 1974, the Italian designer Enzo Mari published 19 furniture designs that one could make by oneself in his book 'Autoprogettazione?', thereby creating a milestone in the history of design.
As an alternative to Formalism and intended as a democratisation of design, with the 'Autoprogettazione' programme Enzo Mari created a provocative counter-proposal to the capitalist paradigm of mass consumption.
It is not easy to translate into English the Italian word Autoprogettazione. Literally it means auto = self and progettazione = design. But the term 'self-design' is misleading since the word 'design' to the general public now signifies a series of superficially decorative objects.
By the word autoprogettazione Mari means an exercise to be carried out individually to improve one's personal understanding of the sincerity behind the project. Build furniture yourself, as you need it. That was the idea.

Purpose: An alarming number of brain and neck tumors have been reported for operators of interventional radiology. Studies have revealed that interventional radiologists who are occupied with surgical procedures often fail to minimize exposures to the intense invisible X-rays. To improve the occupational radiation safety awareness, more effective training tool is needed to provide interactive and visually stimulating learning environment. The goal of this study is to develop a virtual reality (VR) software training tool to help operators learn to avoid high radiation areas, through game-like interactive simulation and visualization of the spatial distribution of the X-ray field.
Methods: 3D Studio Max and unity3D are used to design and transform models. The radiation field and organ doses to three operator phantoms are simulated using Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCNP, and a positonand posture-specific organ dose database is generated. Microsoft HoloLens glasses are used to display three-dimensional objects in the IR suite including the operators, X-ray sources and protective equipment. The position and the FOV size of the X-ray source can be adjusted manually according to the actual situation.
Results: The radiation field in the IR suite has been calculated and imported into the virtual reality program. By wearing Microsoft HoloLens glasses, the X-ray flux distribution are shown in different colorsâ€"red represents high radiation area and blue represents low radiation area. Users can â€œseeâ€? the radiation intensity intuitively with different postures and positions.
Conclusion: A preliminary VR-based radiation safety training tool for operators in interventional radiology has been developed and tested using the MS HoloLens system and pre-calculated X-ray field in IR suite. This training tool can be used to assist operators to adjust their postures and positions to minimize exposure to high radiation situations.

Glass fiber reinforced plastic resin tank is the main accessory of water softening equipment. If the water dispenser and intermediate pipe of the resin tank are not installed properly, it will affect the operation of the equipment. How should the water dispenser and intermediate pipe be installed? Proceed as follows:
1. Use PVC glue to glue the middle pipe and the water dispenser base together.
2. Insert the glued intermediate tube into the resin tank of the water softener.
3. The water distributor pipe is screwed on the water distributor base.
4. After the installation of the water distributor is completed, the middle pipe should be erected in the center of the interchange tank, and then the PVC pipe above the plane of the tank mouth should be cut off.
5. Place the resin tank of the water softener in the selected position.
6. The middle pipe and the lower water distributor are glued firmly together. Insert the middle pipe into the resin tank with the lower water distributor facing down. The height of the middle pipe and the lower water distributor should be flush with the mouth of the tank. The excess part The middle tube is cut off.
7, resin is added to the resin tank, can not be filled. The space reserved is the backwash space of the resin, and the height is 40% -60% of the height of the resin layer.
8. Put the water distributor on the middle pipe, or fix the water distributor on the bottom of the control valve first.
9. Insert the middle pipe into the bottom of the control valve.
The above are the installation steps of the water distributor and the intermediate pipe. Has the family already understood it?

A recently completed Partners in Innovation contract to investigate the updating of design technology for masonry diaphragm walls has found that the majority of contemporary examples of this type of design relied on the guidance given in existing BDA publications. This is particularly the case for structural design.
A feedback study of current practices, which forms a part of this project, has also established that engineers and architects have found some areas of uncertainty when carrying out the design of diaphragm wall structures. An example is the tying of cross webs to the outer flanges of brickwork when bonded construction is not chosen. Another is related to the detailing of capping beams.
This project has covered both structural and non-structural aspects of masonry diaphragm wall technology, including the provision of thermal insulation to comply with building regulations requirements for higher thermal performance. The project has identified where there is inadequate information and has made recommendations for updating design guidance.
Brickwork masonry diaphragm walls continue to offer advantages of economy and efficiency when compared with framed building construction. All of brick masonry's characteristics can be used to full advantage, not least its structural potential.
This research contract is a collaborative venture with Kingston University Faculty of Technology.

An investigation has been conducted in the NACA Cleveland altitude wind tunnel to evaluate the performance and windmilling drag characteristics of an original and a modified turbojet engine of the same type. Data have been obtained at simulated altitudes from 5000 to 45,000 feet, simulated flight Mach numbers from 0.09 to 1.08, and engine speeds from 4000 to 12,500 rpm. Engine performance data are presented for both engines to show the effects of altitude at a flight Mach number of 0.25 and of flight Mach number at an altitude of 25,000 feet. Performance of the original and modified engines is compared for a range of simulated flight conditions. The performance data are generalized to show the applicability of methods used to estimate performance at any altitude from data obtained at a given altitude. Engine-windmilling-speed and windmilling-drag data are presented for a range of simulated flight conditions.

A ground-breaking study has found that one in five samples of Australian honey is fake, including boutique expensive brands.
The study, conducted at Macquarie University by a team of scientists, tested five raw honey samples and 95 local and global-branded honey, of which 27 percent were found to be adulterated.
More than half of the 100 global sourced samples found that honey from Asia, mainly China, had been mixed with other non-honey substances.
However, of the 38 Australian honey samples that were tested from supermarkets, 18 percent identified adulteration.
According to The Age, Victoria, Queensland, NSW and Tasmania are the four states implicated.
The results state that of all the Australian honey samples that were found to be adulterated, 23 percent belonged to Tasmania, one out of two were found from NSW, 29 percent of Victoria's honey was found to be fake and a third of the six samples from Queensland were not pure honey.
The samples from South Australia and Western Australia found pure honey.
The high-security government lab that tested the honey, the National Measurement Institute, is also used to test drugs by Border Force. The scientific team, led by Professor Mark Taylor and PhD student Xiaoteng Zhou, also highlighted issues with mis-labelling of geographic regions.
In regards to imported honey, the findings were released just weeks after a joint investigation by Fairfax and the ABC's 7:30.
"Blended honey of unknown origin has been known to contain antibiotics, toxins, irradiated pollen or even alkaloids with the potential to cause organ damage," the study said.
The findings are expected to put pressure on authorities to begin testing local honey.
Peter McDonald, the chairman of the Australia Honey Bee Industry Council (AHBIC), said authorities have not tested local honey.
"It is up to the individual companies that actually buy the honey to then test," McDonald said.
"I am fully confident that the Australian honey bee industry is clean and green and we have the best product in the world."
