file_exists() and file_get_contents() fail on a file which is named output‹ÕÍÕ¥.txt (as an example), although I know it exists?
I'm guessing its got something to do with the special characters within the file name?.
So was wondering whats a workaround?
Appreciate all responses.
Please note, if your thinking why not simply change the file name? - I can't as the file name is generated generically, and to change the file name will be mean using PHP's file functions (which don't seem to allow special characters within the file name args - unless I've misinterpreted/misunderstood anything).
I'm using PHP 5.2 on Windows.

_USER_: There is no need to shell escape for file_exists and the like AFAIK. – hakre Jul 9 '11 at 13:13
_USER_: How do you get the file-name? – hakre Jul 9 '11 at 13:13
1 Answer 1
Ensure that the encoding of the file-system is the same as the encoding of the string that contains the file-name in your PHP code.
Otherwise you're testing for the wrong file to exist.
For example, if your file-system does not support UTF-8 but the file-name is encoded in UTF-8.
So you have commented that the filename is in UTF-8 and you're using windows.
That's exactly the point my answer was about. As written here:
Bad news for Windows Users: Windows filesystems (FAT, FAT32, NTFS) are not UTF-8 aware. Filenames are encoded in ISO-8859-1 or CP437/CP850/( or whatever suits your language) depending on filesystem and localisation. So you will probably get in trouble trying to match filenames from database to filesystem if you follow this guide. (Although I've never tried it.)
Windows workaround: Modern windows versions support UTF-8 on mounted shares. Make a share of your mediafolder and mount it as a network drive.
So either make a share or encode the filename in the encoding that actually works with your filesystem. This is not a bug in PHP. You're just no checking for the right file-name, that's all.
Assuming you have NTFS which might accept UTF-16 (which is not really precise AFAIK, but you can give it a try), you could convert the UTF-8 filename into an UTF-16 fiĺename:
$name = mb_convert_encoding($name, 'UTF-16', 'UTF-8');
And then try if file_exists works. Keep in mind that his might not be technically correct, and you might have an additional encoding issue which prevents you from correct use even with this re-encoding.
Related: What encoding are filenames in NTFS stored as?

Well according to mb_detect_encoding() the file-name is UTF-8...after some googling I came accross the following bug: _URL_.php?id=46990? so if thats the case then instead of using file-system functions directly could I use exec() (or alike) to rename the file to a file-name in which the file-system functions accept? – newbtophp Jul 9 '11 at 14:16
_USER_: Err, that's exactly the point: Your windows does not support UTF-8 file-names most obviously. And that's not a bug in PHP after all. You'll notice that, if you pass that over to the shell as well. Edited the question for more clarity. You need to take care yourself having the right file-name. – hakre Jul 9 '11 at 14:28

Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser clapping hands
Perfect Fifth of Diversity: A framework for self-assessment
At two recent OC member convenings, Orchestras Canada welcomed conductor Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser to talk about equity in the orchestra. Daniel is a member of the OC board, chair of our Equity Committee, and Artist-in-Residence and Community Ambassador with Symphony Nova Scotia. At these events, Daniel presented the Perfect Fifth of Diversity, a discussion tool for orchestras to use in considering their equity work.
As Daniel noted, diversity is going to look different in different communities; but for all organizations, there is a real opportunity to engage with people who don't yet feel welcome at the orchestra in a way that benefits all involved. To help clarify the starting place, Daniel proposes five questions for orchestras to consider.
1. Who is playing?
This element concerns your musicians, soloists and conductors. Most professional orchestras have an audition process during which applicants for tenure track positions play behind a screen for several rounds before their identity is revealed. Selection processes for music directors, soloists, and per service musicians take various shapes. And smaller budget groups may have more flexibility in their modes of casting. No matter what, are we ensuring that our selection processes address conscious or unconscious bias?
We also know that pathways to a career in classical music rely on early exposure, access to instruments, and inspiring teachers and role models, along with the financial resources to pursue serious study over many years. Auditions present financial barriers, as well, such as paying for flights, hotels, and extra lessons. In the USA, the Sphinx Organization in collaboration with the League of American Orchestras and the New World Symphony have started the National Alliance for Audition Support, a program that provides financial support to Black and Latinx musicians attending auditions.
2. Who is being played?
Does our programming reflect the communities we want to serve, as well as the musical traditions and inspirations we have historically celebrated? Do we want to program music of diverse styles, by a more diverse range of composers, including living, women, and Indigenous composers, and composers of colour? Some audiences are curious to hear works they don't know, and others will stay away. How do we balance comfort, tradition, and challenge, in a sustainable and artistically sound way? This would see the orchestra of the future both continuing to present beloved classics, and becoming a library of sound that puts itself at the service of diverse styles, traditions and communities.
3. Who is listening?
Are our audiences reflective of the community we are hoping to serve? We need to consider what the access point is for tickets to our concerts, and whether we are programming and marketing our concerts in a way that appeals to a diverse range of audiences. This element looks at how we are making our orchestra accessible to communities that are not only culturally diverse, but also diverse in terms of age, socio-economic status or spectrum-linked diversity. This is important both as a means of better serving our communities, and as a means of growing our audience.
4. Who is deciding?
We need to look at who is in positions of power at our organizations – in artistic leadership roles, in staff leadership roles, and on the board of directors. As well, from whom do we seek input, to ensure diverse perspectives in the decision-making process?
5. How is this being done?
A lot of orchestras' work in community engagement projects involves collaborating with non-traditional artists and community partners, and these projects present many opportunities for reflection on orchestral culture and approaches. How is power distributed between the music director, soloists and other collaborators in rehearsal and performance spaces? How do we approach time, and how do we make space for exploration in the context of an orchestral service? How might we collaborate in a way that nurtures and gives power to voices outside of the orchestra's traditional hierarchy?
The questions that Daniel is raising are deliberately non-prescriptive: each orchestra will need to answer these questions in its own way, and reach its own conclusions. Orchestras Canada is excited to be part of the discussion, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Spinning globe
The source code to animate a spinning globe is published on Github. The sphere is approximated by hexagons (and few pentagons). By assigning a color to each hexagon, we can color-code the globe to represent the ocean / landmass of the earth, or even different countries.
We can fake a diffusion equation on the sphere by simply updating a cell's value based upon the neighboring cells. For a full diffusion equation, the areas of the cells would need to be included. For this animation, I did not consider this yet. Since I could not get my hands on an elevation profile, I only distinguish between landmass an ocean and run the diffusion equation on these values.
The update rule then looks like this.
This update need to be applied in every iteration, resulting in the following code (including plotting).
This results in the following animation (or versions of it).
Game of Life
It is easy to implement a spherical Game of Life version. However, it is hard to find appropriate update rules. The idea is, that the (boolean) state of a cell is being updated based upon the states of the neighbors. If the neighbors are alive, they bring life to the cell. If too many neighbors are alive, a cell dies. A possible implementation can look like this. Here you can be creative.
We can initialize the states randomly as True or False. Some fine-tuning is required to find a good update rule.

Keywords: Hydraulic transients; Entrapped air; Pressure wave signal; Air-water behavior;
The effect of entrapped air in the transient pressure wave propagation is analyzed using experimental data collected under controlled laboratory conditions. An air pocket is created at an intermediate section of a 15 m long copper pipe and subjected to a transient pressure variation generated by the fast closure of a valve located at the downstream end. Tests are carried out for several initial flow conditions and for six initial air pockets sizes, collecting the pressure-head signal both at the downstream end and at the air pocket location. The observed pressure drop values, maximum overpressures and pressure wave damping are compared with the no-air pocket test and the differences are analyzed and discussed. Pressure variations can be 30% higher than Joukowsky's pressure pulse due to the reflected pressure waves associated with the entrapped air contraction and expansion. Results show that there is an air pocket volume for which the overpressures reach a maximum value, independently of the initial flow conditions.

Franklin Delano Blenkinsop
Franklin - His first name, forename, or given name. This would once have been his Christian name or baptismal name, but these terms have gone out of fashion in these multi-cultural times.
Delano - His middle name.
Blenkinsop - His surname, family name or last name.
The answer to a question about your name depends on who is asking the question, for example:
When he is making a table reservation: Blenkinsop
When booking an airline ticket: Blenkinsop - Franklin Blenkinsop, or Franklin Blenkinsop
When meeting new colleagues: Franklin Blenkinsop or Franklin
At the gym: Franklin or, perhaps, Frank/Frankie.
However, these are only general ideas. People say different things.

Train Wrecks: A Pictorial History of Accidents on the Main Line
Robert C. Reed
Available Now
American railroad history is filled with accounts of misadventure. Steam boilers blew up. Bridges collapsed under the weight of heavy engines. Locomotives crashed head-on because of signal failures. Passenger cars derailed, often with dire results. Lightly built wooden coaches splintered on impact, and the debris often ignited from the coals in the iron stoves used for heating.In the mid-nineteenth century American railroading was burgeoning--a growth too fast for safe operations. Despite the grim statistics of 19th and early 20th century train wrecks that resulted, one cannot help but find the photographs and public prints of the day interesting.

A network of railroads transported people and goods throughout the United States. Farmers in New England had to compete with western-grown meat and grain. The refrigerated railroad car brought in milk and other perishable farm produce as well. Farmers who wished to keep their farms had to embrace more aggressive land use and exploit new markets in order to survive. Many focused on regional specialties such as ice harvesting, growing cranberries, and maple sugar production. The mission of the Eastern States Exposition when it opened in 1916 was to highlight and reward the best of New England agriculture and industry. The success of the Exposition surpassed even the vision of its founders, attracting over a million visitors a year.

I am a bit puzzled by the sequence of events that are observed when a set of nodes are added or removed. It appears that if a parent node and a child node are added, they are in inverse sequence (child first, parent second). In my case, I have an event listener registered on a workspace, waiting for nodes to be added or removed. If a node is added, it transforms it and adds it in another workspace. If it is removed, it just removes from the destination workspace. The problem is that when a set of nodes is added, say for instance a nt:file/nt:resource pair, the nt:resource event come first, and the event listener cannot really add it to the destination workspace yet as the parent doesn't exists ( a PathNotFound exception is thrown). The workaround has been to copy all the add events in a LinkedList (and the remove in another) before starting looping, and to execute the "add" linked list in reverse order. Of course, using Workspace.clone is not an option because nodes need to be transformed before being added. I did not see anything in the current specs (and I did not have a chance yet to review JSR-283), but is there a reason for this inversion of order? Thanks. Alessandro.

UBC Alum Harold Steves to Retire From Civic Politics
At 83, Harold Steves (BSc Agriculture, 1963) will be retiring as Richmond's longest-serving City Councillor. Using Twitter, Steves, who is known as ClimateChange Steves (@Harold_Steves), announced he would not seek re-election in 2022 after 50 years of service.
Even though he plans to step back from civic politics, he has more to accomplish; and agriculture and food are bred into his DNA.
As the man who founded B.C.'s Agricultural Land Reserve in the early 1970s, Steves stays connected to scientists around the world via Twitter. This allows him to stay current on his interests, which revolve around regenerative agriculture, the UN, and local and global food security policy.
"I stay motived because I know it can take decades to make changes," says Steves. "Five percent of people can change the world; it can take a while."
Passion projects in the works for Steves
Food security remains a top priority, especially as COVID-19 exposed vulnerabilities in our food production, processing and distribution systems. Steves will continue to work towards achieving 40% self-sufficiency in food production within Richmond. This involves moving two projects forward: collaborating with Kwantlen Polytechnic University to start the world's first farm school in Richmond; and setting up a land bank, enabling young people to access land via leases where they can establish farms.
Steves also has two more years on the Metro Vancouver Regional District Board. He hopes to dust off a plan that is currently "sitting on a shelf" that calls for preserving 240 hectares of Colony Farm in Coquitlam as an agricultural- and nature-protected area, housing organic agriculture, berms and trees.
Also, Steves is developing new plant varieties. At his 103-year old home in Richmond, he developed a new yellow tomato, and is improving an early heirloom tomato, called Alpha, selected for its hardiness in colder, northern temperatures; he's excited to see how the Alpha fares in northern Canada.
For the past 10 years, he's worked on bringing back the purple Mikado tomato that is high in anti-oxidants. His ancestors grew the original Mikado back in 1888, but the plants had become crossed with other tomato breeds and lost their original leaves that resemble potato leaves.
He and his wife Kathy raise purebred Belted Galloway Cattle and cross them with Angus to produce grass-fed beef.
A family of agricultural pioneers
His great-uncle Herbert and grandfather Joseph Steves started a seed farm in 1888, becoming the first mail-order seed-sellers in Western Canada. They managed heritage seeds from 50-60 varieties of vegetables adapted to northern climates.
Steves' other notable lineage goes back one more generation. His great-grandparents Manoah and Martha founded Steveston in 1877. Hailing from New Brunswick, they were the first to settle north of what's now called Garry Point, and brought in B.C.'s first purebred Holstein cattle, which supplied milk to the City of Vancouver.
Steves learned the value of oral history from his family.
"My great aunt Ida told stories of my great grandfather who taught my grandfather and father down through the generations," said Steves. "We are husbandmen of the land. What we take from it we must return to it. We must never destroy the land."
His father studied Agriculture at UBC, as did two of Steves' children. Three of his other children attended UBC, studying Astronomy, Engineering and Social Work.
Steves' wife of 60 years, Kathy (who has a UBC degree in Physics), has played the role of both life partner and business partner.
"Kathy can pull up files from 30-40 years ago from a wall of filing cabinets that she keeps. It's been the two of us together the whole time."
Initiating B.C.'s Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR)
While a student at UBC, a classmate urged Steves to join the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF, precursor to the New Democratic Party) as both were upset by land rezoning in Richmond, which had negatively impacted their families' farms. Steves became involved in the CCF during 1960s.
Steves' father ran a dairy but like many farmers, he was unaware Richmond Council rezoned their farmland for residential use in the late 1950s. When his father wanted to expand his dairy farm so that he could install a bulk tank, he was forbidden to do so. After further setbacks, Harold and his father went out of the milk business and switched to beef cattle.
The younger Steves set up an Agriculture Committee under the NDP made up of young farmers, and he met with farmers in Richmond, all the way east to Abbotsford. Using a land bank model from Saskatchewan, he started to write up an Agricultural Land Bank system for B.C.
He drafted the agriculture policy for the NDP in the 1972 election, establishing a land-use zoning for agricultural production, which would protect these designated areas from being subdivided for industrial and residential use. This policy eventually became what is known as the Agricultural Land Reserve in 1973 under an NDP government.
"Since it launched in 1973, the ALR has had one battle after another to keep it together," quips Steves. "But it's mostly stayed together."
The ALR has protected B.C.'s agricultural land, and while its mandate and scope have been reviewed several times over the years, it has served as a model for ensuring food security for the province.
Steves says he's been contacted by the United Nations Habitat for Humanity in the early days of the ALR rollout, as well as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN. They were concerned that urban dwellers may not be able to feed themselves in the face of climate change and wanted to understand how B.C.'s ALR was set-up.
Steves has made an indelible mark in Richmond and in agricultural policy.
He was elected from _PHONE_ as a Richmond alderman, and then served continuously as a councillor since 1977, only taking a break from civic duties to serve as an NDP MLA from _PHONE_.
In addition, he's chaired the Metro Vancouver Agriculture Committee and currently serves on its Regional District Board of Directors; he co-founded the Richmond Anti-Pollution Association in the 1960s; and he's protected overfishing by helping to set fishing quotas as a director of the BC Groundfish Development Authority; and, he joined demonstrations to save UBC Farm from development.
"There are many ways to get your message across. One way involves joining protests, and the other way is showing people how to do things. I do both."

Design for territories expands its gaze to the entire spatial experience, which acts and feels in relation to a place. Here, space is a fluid and dynamic element "contaminated" by mutual interaction with human life. This interaction shapes both space and human experience, making them recipients and interlocutors of a project at the same time. One design approach in territorial enhancement is exploring the match between digital cartography and community mapping as tools for the promotion of territories starting from their local identities. Visual narratives of the "active landscape" are thus probed to represent territories as places of submerged heritage worth discovering. Within this framework, the AtlasFor project is presented to create participatory storytelling of the territory, in order to stimulate interest in social capital and culture.

Side Effects of Baytril: What You Need to Know.
September 5, 2013
"Side Effects of Baytril: What You Need to Know"
As is known about the famous medication, Baytril for Dogs, this antibiotic is the ideal solution to most of the infections that tend to affect your darling pets. Believe it or not but the medicine is used to treat a number of afflictions that affect the respiratory, urinary and digestive systems of your pet dogs. Apart from this Baytril is also used to treat open wounds since it kills pathogens that infect the wounds. Baytril antibiotic basically belongs to the family of fluoroquinolones and is very effective against a number of diseases however it is a chemical none the less that requires first hand prescription.
Side Effects of Baytril for Dogs
 1. Digestion: Some of the common side effects of an antibiotic that you can observe are the lack of hunger, vomiting and nausea. There is irregular bowel movements, prolonged diarrhea, additional upset stomach which consists of a diminished appetite. In case Baytril side effects of dogs are very frequent then you should get your animal checked at the vet.
 2. Fatigue: Dogs that are treated with Baytril antibiotic often suffer from exhaustion leading to excessive hours of sleep. This unusual fatigue witnessed is another one of Baytril side effects of dogs due to which your pet will sleep for longer durations. There is less interest or enthusiasm for fun and games which is rare in case of hyper animals.
 3. Nervous System: One of the most severe Baytril side effects of dogs is the impact of seizures. There is great imbalance in the body language of your pet dog which reflects poor coordination of muscles and brain cells. Involuntary spasms should be expected in case you've given your dog Baytril antibiotics.
 4. Cartilage Lesions: One of the general symptoms often seen while using Baytril for Dogs is the impairment of joint cartilages. The cartilage is a part of the body which happens to be fleshy, tough and a protective sheathe around the joints. It controls flexibility in the animal however cartilage lesion leads to body pain, swelling of joints and affects walking capacity of the animal.baytril for dogs16
 5. Optical Senses: A major symptom you'll come across while discussing the side effects of Baytril for Dogs is the loss of vision. Rare as it is, this particular symptom affects cats mostly and decreases the optical sensory cells due to which muscle coordination diminishes. This leads to either complete loss of vision or temporary impairment. It may also reduce the animal's capacity to concentrate and can affect their instinctive abilities.
If you're administering your pet dog with Baytril then there are certain safety precautions you should follow. By going to a vet and getting a prescribed document for purchasing the right dosage is very necessary if you don't want your animal to suffer from chronic disorders in the future. Baytril is highly effective so long as you use it in the right manner!

ABSTRACT
Many seismic experiments result in multiple time series which can be decomposed into signal and additive noise, where the noise has both a coherent and an incoherent component. The signal and the two noise components are stationary second-order random functions. The time shifts, called moveouts, of the signal and coherent noise are random variables with known distributions. Wiener filter theory is used to design the filter system that gives the optimal signal estimate, based upon the moveout distributions and the power spectra of the various components of the data. Velocity filters are useful in seismic data processing to separate signal from noise on the basis of moveout (velocity) differences without distorting the basic shape of the signal.

Australian National Veterans Arts Museum honoured with community award
A world-first Veteran's Public Arts Trail that weaves together history and the creativity of war veterans, extending from the CBD to Southbank, has been recognised with a prestigious award.
Designed by the Australian National Veterans Arts Museum (ANVAM), the trail is a four-kilometre path from Little Collins St to the Victoria Barracks in Southbank and features 20 public artworks and buildings created by about 20 different members of the war veteran community.
In recognition of their outstanding initiative, which was made possible with the collaboration of Open House Melbourne, ANVAM was honoured with a commendation as part of the Public Record Office Victoria's Community History Awards.
ANVAM chairman and director Mark Johnston who led the trail, which concludes at the former Repatriation Clinic at 310 St Kilda Rd, said it served as a power narrative in showcasing the individual experiences and perspectives of veterans.
"As a museum, it's important to us to be working with a modern-day veteran community and to showcase the stories of contemporary veterans to the broader community and to help facilitate contemporary veterans to tell their story through the arts," Mr Johnston said.
"Part of that is looking to our history and our heritage within the veteran community, what veterans have done not on the battlefield but in the arts, which has happened in and around the battlefield."
Trench art, for example, is a form of art that that emerged out of WWI and maybe earlier, but certainly WWI which is a way veterans kept themselves busy and occupied.
The public arts trail includes 3D sculptures and 2D murals as well as buildings and other landmarks designed or sponsored by veterans as artists, architects, and arts patrons.
Veterans include the world's oldest practicing veteran artist, Erwin Fabian, of North Melbourne who lived to 104 years old; Nora Heysen, who was the first woman to win the Archibald and is one of 14 veterans to have collectively won more than a third of all Archibalds, and Sir Robert Risson, who was credited with saving Melbourne's tram network.
There's also a sculpture on St Kilda Rd of Australia surgeon Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop, created by Peter Corlette, whose father served in WWII.
The statue at Kings Domain is part of the City of Melbourne Art and Heritage Collection, and honours Dunlop's leadership while being held prisoner by the Japanese during WWI.
"It is just one of many such life-size sculptures around Melbourne," Mr Johnston said.
"I started on the journey to look at the local examples of that and there was just such a plethora of that around Melbourne and Southbank and Melbourne, CBD and Southbank, that it became an obvious thing to want to showcase that to the public."
The commendation was part of the Local History Project Award category, which Mr Johnston said was a "source of pride" as he believed the trail was "the only one of its type in the world".
ANVAM hopes to recruit volunteers who would like to host the trail, and welcomes expressions of interest.
Tours of the trail were held last year and will be staged again as part of Festival of Veterans Art 2024 in March and the Open House Melbourne weekend in July.
ANVAM has applied for grant funding to support the development of its capability to regularly host the unique trail through Melbourne and Southbank. •

All these names refer to the same animal...the Nutria.
- Nutria live up to 20 years
- Nutria swim using web feet and are strong animals when caught
- Nutria are brown with yellow to red teeth (incisors)
- Nutria are mostly active at night
- Nutria must eat constantly
Why are Nutria considered pests?
- Nutria destroy trees by girdling them (see picture above)
- Nutria eat farmers vegetable crops, garden plants, and dig up your grass looking for food
- Nutria eat vital wetland marsh vegetation until it is gone
- Nutria will dig holes and burrow everywhere and anywhere making it unsafe to walk
- Nutria dig holes and nests in levees, water control dikes, thus causing them to fail suddenly
- And the list goes on and on.
ORGANIC NATURAL NUTRIA CONTROL:
- Taste: Apply a repellent that when applied to a plant or tree tastes bad to nutria, they will stop eating it.
- Touch: Apply a repellent that will not dry and actually sticks to them and they will go elsewhere.
- Sound: Sudden sounds activated by their motion work well. Nutria disappear when you move toward them and these sound devices cause the same type of quick response to unusual or sudden sound.
- Motion: Motion activated water sprayers do a great job in encouraging them to go elsewhere.
- Fertility control: As far as we know, the use of this method is still experimental and not available to us common folk.
- Cold: They don't like it and will go to a warmer place. But we haven't learned how anyone has used this to prevent them yet. Make your million by figuring out a way to use it to drive nutria back to South America.
- Allowing animals including alligators, eagles, turtles, for example to live in the same area can reduce the nutria population.
Live Trapping: Bait with cracked corn or a chemical lure that emits an odor that is a sexual attractant to nutria and makes them walk right into a live trap easily.
- Snares: Destroy the nutria after catching.
- Leg hold: Destroy the nutria after catching.
- Live cage traps: Place the cage traps on land or on a raft floating in the water. Destroy the nutria by drowning or shooting them while the nutria are in the trap or relocate the nutria far far away.
Kill Trapping: Bait with cracked corn.
- Body grip traps: These traps are designed to kill quickly.
Shooting: Dispatch the nutria safely and legally as applicable in your area.
CHEMICAL NUTRIA CONTROL:
Pesticides: There are no approved pesticides for nutria pest control.
Poison: There are no approved poisons that kill nutria.

The Engineer's Notebook gives you the ability to create notes and store them as part of a model. A note can be attached to an edge, sketch, feature, part, or other selection in the model. Each note consists of a comment box and a view of the model.
To start the Engineers Notebook, select a part in the window, right-click, and select Create Note.
When you add the first note to a model, the program creates a notebook. You can add comment boxes or additional views to a note or add more notes to the notebook.
You can use the Engineer's Notebook to save the history of development or to provide reminders for project designers. Examples of notes include design strategy, reason for a design decision, manufacturing instructions, or information from a test or FEA calculation. Notes can contain links to external files, such as spreadsheets, word processing documents, graphics, or audio files.
In the Engineer's Notebook browser, the program assigns each note a name and lists it in the order in which you created it. You can organize the notes as follows:
If you are using the Engineer's Notebook to maintain the history of a design, you can use several options to assure an accurate record.
Ordinarily, a note is deleted when the geometry to which it is attached is deleted. To maintain an accurate history, set the option to keep notes attached to deleted geometry
When you create a note, the note view captures the current state of the model. As you change the model, the view in the note updates automatically. To keep it from updating, you can freeze a view in the note. The view and its comment then serve as a historical record.
As you add notes to a part model, each note is listed in the part browser under the item to which it is attached. For example, if the note is attached to a feature, it is nested under that feature in the browser. Notes attached to edges or other items that are not listed in the part browser are listed at the end of the part.
Information from an external file (such as a spreadsheet or word processing document) can be added to a note in the Engineer's Notebook. You can embed the content of the external file in a comment or add a link to the file.
As you add notes, each one is assigned a name and listed in the Engineer's Notebook browser in the order in which you created it. You can organize the notes in the following ways:
You can also change the name of a folder, comment, or view.
In the browser, drag the note to the new location.
Right-click the folder and select Place New Notes Here from the menu.
When more than one note exists for a part or an assembly, you can cycle forward or backward through the multiple notes by clicking Previous Note or Next Note on the Notes panel as required.
You can change the layout of a note in the Engineer's Notebook. Add comments, views, or arrows to the note, format the text in a comment box, or change the view in a view box.
You can add comment boxes, view boxes, or arrows to a note. To add an element to a note, right-click the notebook page (not in a comment box or view box), and then select the element from the menu.
To apply formatting to text in a comment box, select the text. Use the options on the Format panel to change the font or color of the text or to apply bold, italics, or underlining. Text justification modes, such as left alignment, center alignment, and right alignment may also be applied to selected text.
You can also use the bullets option to better organize your notes and improve readability.
You can change size, orientation, or display style of any view in a note.
If you select Freeze from the view menu, the view no longer update when you change the model. To update the view, clear the Freeze check mark.
Lists all the notes in the model file. Notes are listed in the order in which they were created.
Use the following options when working with notes in the browser:
Click a note to select and display it.
Select the note, then click the note name and enter the new name.
Drag the note to the new location.
Right-click the note and select Delete from the menu.
Provides options for organizing design notes in a model. To access the menu, click in the browser to cancel any note selection, then right-click to open the menu.
Sets the sort order for the notes. Select the order from the pop-up menu.
Creates a note folder at the end of the note list.
Place New Notes Here
Sets a folder as the default location for all new notes. Select the folder before opening the browser menu.


Running Bitbucket Server as a Linux service
This page describes how to run Bitbucket Server as a Linux service, and only applies if you are manually installing or upgrading Bitbucket Server from an archive file. See the page Install Bitbucket Server from an archive file for more details.
Bitbucket Server assumes that the external database is available when it starts; these approaches do not support service dependencies, and the startup scripts will not wait for the external database to become available.
For production use on a Linux server, Bitbucket Server should be configured to run as a Linux service, that is, as a daemon process. This has the following advantages:
 - Bitbucket Server can be automatically restarted when the operating system restarts.
 - Bitbucket Server can be automatically restarted if it stops for some reason.
 - Bitbucket Server is less likely to be accidentally shut down, as can happen if the terminal Bitbucket Server was manually started in is closed.
 - Logs from the Bitbucket Server JVM can be properly managed by the service.
System administration tasks are not supported by Atlassian. These instructions are only provided as a guide and may not be up to date with the latest version of your operating system.

Using the Java Service Wrapper
Bitbucket Server can be run as a service on Linux using the Java Service Wrapper. The Service Wrapper is known to work with Debian, Ubuntu, and Red Hat.
The Service Wrapper provides the following benefits:
 - Allows Bitbucket Server, which is a Java application, to be run as a service.
 - No need for a user to be logged on to the system at all times, or for a command prompt to be open and running on the desktop to be able to run Bitbucket Server.
 - The ability to run Bitbucket Server in the background as a service, for improved convenience, system performance and security.
 - Bitbucket Server is launched automatically on system startup and does not require that a user be logged in.
 - Users are not able to stop, start, or otherwise tamper with Bitbucket Server unless they are an administrator.
 - Can provide advanced failover, error recovery, and analysis features to make sure that Bitbucket Server has the maximum possible uptime.
Please see _URL_ for wrapper installation and configuration instructions.
The service wrapper supports the standard commands for SysV init scripts, so it should work if you just create a symlink to it from /etc/init.d.
Using an init.d script
The usual way on Linux to ensure that a process restarts at system restart is to use an init.d script. This approach does not restart Bitbucket Server if it stops by itself.
 1. Stop Bitbucket Server.
 2. Create a bitbucket user, set the permissions to that user, create a home directory for Bitbucket Server and create a symlink to make upgrades easier:
 $> curl -OL _URL_
 $> tar xz -C /opt -f atlassian-bitbucket-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
 $> ln -s /opt/atlassian-bitbucket-X.Y.Z /opt/atlassian-bitbucket-latest

 # Create a home directory
 $> mkdir /opt/bitbucket-home

 # ! Update permissions and ownership accordingly
 (Be sure to replace X.Y.Z in the above commands with the version number of Bitbucket Server.)
 3. Create the startup script in /etc/init.d/bitbucket with the following contents (Ensure the script is executable by running chmod 755 bitbucket):
 #! /bin/sh

 ### BEGIN INIT INFO
 # Provides: bitbucket
 # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
 # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
 # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6
 # Short-Description: Initscript for Atlassian Bitbucket Server
 # Description: Automatically start Atlassian Bitbucket Server when the system starts up.
 # Provide commands for manually starting and stopping Bitbucket Server.
 ### END INIT INFO

 # Adapt the following lines to your configuration
 # RUNUSER: The user to run Bitbucket Server as.
 RUNUSER=vagrant

 # BITBUCKET_INSTALLDIR: The path to the Bitbucket Server installation directory

Horticulture/Seed Banking
< Horticulture
Seed Banking refers to populations of seeds in the soil over long periods, primarily applied to weeds. Many weeds create seed banks, which allow them to germinate even if the previous year's plants did not have an opportunity to set seeds.
What can be doneEdit
 1. Prevent weeds from going to seed. Though this will not affect the seeds already in the soil, it will help prevent the problem from getting any worse, and eventually will run the seed bank down (as most seeds are not immortal, even though they might seem that way).
 2. Mulching in late winter or early spring will keep seeds from being exposed to light, which is the most common metabolic signal for germination.
 3. "Stale beds" can be created by repeated tilling or other methods of cultivation
 4. Pre-emergent herbicides can prevent the germination of many weed seeds.


Problem 49
Primary tabs
For b: [1], [2].
The Seifert conjecture asked if every non-singular flow on S3 has a periodic orbit. The answer is no by K. Kuperberg's construction.
The existence of a minimal flow on S3 is Gottschalk's conjecture and it is still an open problem.
For the first question, there are uniquely ergodic homeomorphisms of T^2 with positive entropy ( and minimal analytic diffeomorphisms with positive entropy in dimension 4 (
For a), Franks' semiconjugacy gives a negative answer:
 Take $F$ homotopic to $(2111)\times id$ and a lift of $\hat F$ to $R^2 x R.$ If $\{(x_n,t_n)\}$ is an $\hat F$ orbit, then $\{x_n\}$, its projection to $R^2$ is a bounded pseudo-orbit for the linear map $(2111)$ acting on $R^2$. Therefore, there is a unique orbit $\{y_n\}$ of $(2111)$ that shadows this pseudo-orbit. The map $x_0 \mapsto y_0$ is continuous, equivariant and bounded distance from the projection (therefore surjective). This is Franks' semiconjugacy which descends to a map $h: T^2 \times S^1 \to T^2$.
Now, the preimage of a fixed (or periodic) orbit of $(2111)$ in $T^2$ will give a closed invariant subset contradicting minimality.

text: This paper documents the tendency of mutual fund managers to follow analyst recommendation revisions when they trade stocks, and the impact of analyst revisioninduced mutual fund herds on stock prices. We find that mutual fund herds follow consensus revisions in analyst recommendations, controlling for common investment signals that affect both analyst revisions and mutual fund trading. Consensus upgrades result in herds of funds buying a stock, while consensus downgrades result in even bigger herds of funds selling. Our most important finding is that mutual fund herding impacts stock prices to a much larger degree during our sample period (1994 to 2003) than during prior-studied periods. Further, we find the first evidence that mutual funds appear to overreact when they herd in their trades - stocks heavily bought by herds tend to underperform their size, book-tomarket, and momentum cohorts during the following year, while stocks heavily sold outperform. These reversal patterns are even stronger when herds of mutual funds (especially funds with poor performance records) follow analyst recommendation revisions. An investment strategy that accounts for the direction of both analyst revisions and mutual fund herding generates a return (adjusted for size, book-to-market, and momentum) exceeding six percent during the following year. Our results remain robust when we condition fund herding on analyst earnings forecast revisions instead of recommendation revisions. Overall, our study finds that the interaction between sell-side analysts and mutual fund managers plays an important role in setting prices in equity markets.

Using more of the millions of tonnes of unwanted plastic Australians consume every year in recyclable products is something we all want to see happen.
Road infrastructure products have been identified as potential keys to boosting use of recycled plastic. ARRB is already involved in several research projects in the waste plastic space.
ARRB has been engaged by Major Road Projects Victoria and Department of Transport to explore the use of recycled plastics in drainage pipes under the road pavement.
Currently, concrete pipes have only ever been used for the drainage and wastewater network under the road pavement in Victoria.
The project, which is well under way, will involve the review of existing standards and practice both interstate and nationally, consultation with relevant stakeholders, development of performance requirements, and material testing requirements.
Potential for the inclusion of recycled plastics into other drainage-related structural elements and components in the future will also be explored.
ARRB has also been involved in the development of the soon to be published Department of Transport recycled plastic noise wall. In addition, ARRB works in conjunction with the National Asset Centre of Excellence (NACOE) and the Western Australian Road Research and Innovation Program (WARRIP) on projects involving recycled plastics.
"ARRB is proud to be supporting the use of recycled plastics in transport infrastructure. Development of specifications to incorporate recycled materials is a big step in towards recycled products being business as usual", Melissa Lyons, Senior Technology Leader of Sustainability and Material Performance said.

A thump on your window usually means that a bird has crashed into the glass, sometimes stunning, injuring or even killing itself in the process.
Birds fly into windows for several reasons. Mostly, they don't see the glass as a solid barrier. Or a bird that sees its reflection in the window may think it can fly to where the "other" bird is.
Houseplants hanging inside windows may give a bird the illusion that it can fly into the plants.
To reduce the hazards windows pose for birds:
Attach black silhouettes of flying hawks or strips of opaque tape or flagging to windows to make the glass visible to birds.
Install screens or lightweight netting in front of windows as a cushion if birds fly into it.
Put up an owl statue or other raptor statue close to the problem-causing window.
Keep your blinds or curtains closed or partially closed.
Move houseplants away from windows, as these attract birds.
Move bird feeders either away from windows (20 feet or more) or closer to windows (three feet or closer) to help prevent injuries.-- Homes & Gardens of the Northwest staff

How Is Skateboard Grip Tape Made?
skateboarder's toes image by Joseph Dudash from
Grip tape applied to the top of the skateboard deck creates traction between the rider's shoes and the board itself. Grip tape has a sandpaper-like construction commonly made from silicon carbide or a cheaper material known as aluminum oxide. Skateboard grip tape is now manufactured in a variety of colors, allowing skateboarders to customize their set-ups.
The Base
The manufacturer lays a large sheet of a screen-like polyester film onto a conveyor belt. The polyester film functions as the base of the grip tape. The screen-like design allows the grip tape to be pliable, making it easy to apply to the top of the skateboard deck. Tiny perforations produced in the polyester film allow for water and moisture to run off the grip tape. An automated machine applies epoxy to the top of the polyester film, creating a viscous surface.
The Coating
The abrasive mineral composition silicon carbide is sprayed on top of the polyester film to create the sandpaper-like texture of the grip tape. The cheaper version of silicon carbide known as aluminum oxide is used by the smaller manufacturers. Aluminum oxide is less expensive, but the grip wears out in a shorter amount of time.
Making It Stick
The grit-like silicon carbide dries on top of the polyester film with the use of a high-powered heat lamp. An automated machine applies an acrylic copolymer resin adhesive to the bottom of the polyester film, thus creating the sticky underside of the grip tape.
Backing Paper
A thick backing paper, applied over the copolymer resin adhesive, ensures that the sticky underside of the grip tape will not come into contact with other materials until the time of application.
An automated machine cuts the massive sheets of polyester film with the silicon carbide top and the acrylic co-polymer resin bottom into 32 inch by 9 inch strips. This allows the skateboarder to purchase only one sheet of grip tape per board for around $10.


By default, the Personalization module is configured to use a standard SQL repository to store profiles. To use a composite repository instead, you need to perform the following steps:
 1. Override the ProfileAdapterRepository component with an instance of atg.adapter.composite.MutableCompositeRepository. See Overriding the ProfileAdapterRepository Component for more information.
 Alternatively, you can create a new instance of the composite profile repository and then change /atg/userprofiling/ProfileTools and other components to point to it. This option requires more changes and it is useful only if you must keep both the standard SQL profile repository and a composite profile repository. See Creating a Separate Composite Profile Repository for more information.
 2. If necessary, change the defaultProfileType property in the ProfileTools component to point to the name of a composite view in the composite profile definition. Select the view that you want to use as the default item type if no other types are specified, for example in a query. You must perform this step if the composite repository does not contain a composite view with the same name as the current value of this property (the default value is user). Note that this change may be necessary regardless of the option you select in step 1.
 3. Change the names of any properties as required in the PropertyManager component. See Updating the PropertyManager for a Composite Repository for more information.

The Education and Science Institute in Vietnam has warned that the number of children with autism in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) has increased by nearly 160 times over eight years. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoang Yen, deputy head of the institute, said that the number of children diagnosed with autism is rising sharply in Vietnam.
The number of children with autism detected by the Hanoi-based Central Pediatrics Hospital in 2007 was 50 times more than in 2000, and the number of autistic children treated by the hospital in 2007 increased by 33 times from 2000. The number of autistic children in HCMC increased from only two in 2000 to 324, or 160 times higher, in 2008.
The warning was released this week at a seminar on care and education for autistic children. The seminar was jointly held by the Vietnam Association of Autistic Children, the United States Embassy in Vietnam and the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund in Hanoi. On March 13, Tuoitrenews.vn reported that, according to medical websites, "There is probably a combination of factors that leads to autism, including genetic factors and others including diet, mercury poisoning, the body's inability to properly process vitamins and minerals, and vaccine sensitivity..."

Battle interface
From VCMI Project Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Animations of creatures
All animations of creatures in a battle are handled by storing currently displayed animations in pendingAnims vector. When server tells that an event requiring animation happens, info about it is added to pendingAnims. Every animation needs to be initialized (what indicates that this animation has started). show() function tries to initialize all not initialized animations every frame until it succeeds. Then nextFrame call-ins are called until animation removes itself from pendingAnims. During initialization it is checked if this animation can be played now or we must wait.
Showing sequence of stacks, obstacles and wall pieces
Firstly, all dead stacks are printed on the screen. Then alive stacks, obstacles and wall pieces are printed in order of appearance (number of hex they are placed on). This algorithm works fairly well if no creatures move, but due to the fact that while a creature is moving, its position is the destination, not the hex they are walking on, sometimes it makes some graphical glitches that are not easy to fix.
Desynchronization of state of the game and displayed animations
This problem is not limited to battles but here it is the most problematic. GameState is updated immediately after getting info from server while the player should see smooth transition between initial and final states, e.g. when one creature stack attack another one we should see decreased amount of creatures after the animation of attack is displayed, despite the fact that gameState contains the new amount before any animation is displayed. Sometimes it can even lead to crashes when an action of the user makes the battle finished in gameState but wants to see all remaining actions of stacks - but the engine cannot respond to new inquires and destroys all data about stacks that weren't duplicated by battle interface.
This issue can be partly resolved by stopping the processing of data from server but it's not widely used nor elegant solution.

Here we go again : a case study on re-entering a foreign market
Journal article, Peer reviewed

Original versionBritish Journal of Management Volume 32, Issue 2 April 2021 Pages 416-434 10.1111/_PHONE_.12407
Globalization has motivated firms to expand into foreign markets, but internationalization is inherently dynamic. Many firms have exited foreign markets for various reasons, but some later decide to re‐enter those same markets. Based on a case study of a Brazilian multinational's activities in Mexico, this study contributes to the literature on re‐entry decisions of multinational enterprises and their outcomes, focusing on the roles of institutional voids and the experiences of decision‐makers during such processes. The findings suggest that companies learn from their mistakes and reconsider how they approach re‐entry and the resources that may need to be mobilized. However, the learning process is not straightforward as it is clouded by international knowledge myopia. This study highlights how multiple actors and considerations influence re‐entry events.


of (int)};
 Type returnType = typeof (int);
 dynamic.AddMethod("Add", body, returnType, parameters);
 // This will return '2'
 int result = (int)dynamic.Methods["Add"](1, 1);
 }
}
Using the CustomDelegate type allows me to define the body of the method without tying the method signature to any specific parameter types. In this example, I extracted the first two arguments from the args array defined in the body of the CustomDelegate instance. Just as I did in the previous example, I then simply added the two numbers together and returned the result. The difference in this example was that I actually had to specify both the method return type and the method parameter types when I used the CustomDelegate type as the method body.
The Choice is Yours
Other than those differences that I just mentioned, the two overloads work the same way. It's really up to you to decide whether you prefer the flexibility of CustomDelegate or to use the signature of your own predefined delegate. In my opinion, the second choice would be the better option, since it is more dynamic and thus easier to maintain.
Duck Typing
Another one of LinFu.DynamicObject's strengths is that it can make itself look and act like nearly any interface or non-sealed class. For example, suppose that I have the following interface defined:
public interface IMath
{
 int Add(int a, int b);
}
Walking Like a Duck
Drawing on the examples from the previous section, I can take the same DynamicObject and make it look and act like IMath:
IMath math = null;
// Make sure that the dynamic object
// can indeed act like an IMath object
int result = 0;
if(dynamic.LooksLike<IMath>())
{
 math = dynamic.CreateDuck<IMath>();
 result = math.Add(1, 1);
}
Every time the CreateDuck() method is called, DynamicObject generates a proxy that implements the given class or interface (e.g. IMath). That proxy, in turn, forwards all of its calls back to DynamicObject to handle the actual method implementation. So, every time the IMath.Add() method is invoked by the client, the proxy is calling DynamicObject directly using the following method call:
// This is equivalent to IMath.Add(1, 1)
return dynamic.Methods["Add"](1,1);
A Duck or Not a Duck?
In addition to acting like an IMath instance, DynamicObject can also determine whether or not it has a sufficient number of compatible methods and properties to implement that interface using the LooksLike() method. This is useful if you want to make sure that DynamicObject adheres to a specific interface type.
Mixins
LinFu.DynamicObject also supports "mixing" (or combining) itself with other object instances to make it appear as if all of the mixed items form a cohesive class at runtime. In general, it supports three types of mixins:
Standard Object References
A DynamicObject instance can mix itself with another object reference (that is, a plain old System.Object-derived class), take all of the methods and properties of that class and make it a part of that DynamicObject instance itself. For example, suppose that I wanted to implement an interface named IPerson:
public interface IPerson
{
 string Name { get; }
 int Age { get; }
}
...and suppose that I wanted to implement that interface using instances of two hypothetical mixins named Nameable and HasAge:
public class Nameable
{
 private string _name;
 public Nameable(string name)
 {
 _name = name;
 }
 public string Name
 {
 get { return _name; }
 }
}
public class HasAge
{
 private int _age;
 public HasAge(int age)
 {
 _age = age;
 }
 public int Age
 {
 get { return _age; }
 }
}
As you can see, there's really nothing special about these two mixins. Creating an implementation of the IPerson interface is as simple as:
DynamicObject dynamic = new DynamicObject();
IPerson person = null;
// This will return false
bool isPerson = dynamic.LooksLike<IPerson>();
// Implement IPerson
dynamic.MixWith(new HasAge(18));
dynamic.MixWith(new Nameable("Me"));
// Now that it's implemented, this
// will be true
isPerson = dynamic.LooksLike<IPerson>();
if (isPerson)
 person = dynamic.CreateDuck<IPerson>();
// This will return "Me"
string name = person.Name;
// This will return '18'
int age = person.Age;
The above example would work for simple cases where the mixins are simply property holders, but what if a mixin had more complicated operations that needed to have access to DynamicObject?
Mixin-Aware Instances
For more advanced scenarios, a mixin itself might need to interact with the other mixins that are a part of the current DynamicObject instance. If you need to have your mixins interact with DynamicObject itself, all you need is to implement the following interface with your mixin:
public interface IMixinAware
{
 DynamicObject Self { get; set; }
}
public class MyMixin : IMixinAware
{
 private DynamicObject _self;
 public void DoSomething()
 {
 DynamicObject dynamic = Self;
 // Perform some operations on the DynamicObject
 IMath math = dynamic.CreateDuck<IMath>();
 math.Add(1, 1);
 }
 public DynamicObject Self
 {
 get { return _self; }
 set { _self = value;}
 }
}
public class MathMixin : IMath
{
 public int Add(int a, int b)
 {
 return a + b;
 }
}
The next thing that you have to do is call the MixWith() method using your new mixin class:
// ...somewhere in your program...
DynamicObject dynamic = new DynamicObject();
dynamic.MixWith(new MathMixin());
// Note: Once the MixWith() method is called,
// the DynamicObject will actually call
// IMixinAware.Self = this; on the new mixin
dynamic.MixWith(new MyMixin());
Any mixin class that implements the IMixinAware interface has the ability to access (and modify) the attached DynamicObject at will and at any given time. In my opinion, the power that this feature gives is mind-boggling. For now, I think I'll leave it in the capable hands of the readers to figure out what to do with this. Anyway, let's move on to the next part: mixing DynamicObjects with other DynamicObjects.
Combining DynamicObjects
Combining two DynamicObjects is as easy as:
public class GreeterMixin
{
 public void Greet()
 {
 Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
 }
}
public class OtherMixin
{
 public void DoSomething()
 {
 Console.WriteLine("DoSomething() called");
 }
}
class Program
{
 static void Main(string[] args)
 {
 DynamicObject first = new DynamicObject(new GreeterMixin());
 DynamicObject second = new DynamicObject(new OtherMixin());
 // The two DynamicObjects can combine into a single object
 DynamicObject combined = first + second;
 combined.Methods["Greet"]();
 combined.Methods["DoSomething"]();
 }
}
When two DynamicObjects are combined, it results in a new DynamicObject that has all of the methods and mixins of both previous instances. This can cause a problem, however, if two dynamic objects have two of the same type of mixins. In the event of a mixin conflict, which mixin gets used?
Resolving Conflicts with Duplicate Mixins
There's no easy way to resolve this issue. In fact, this is probably one of the reasons why Microsoft left mixins and multiple inheritance out of the CLR in the first place. So, in the absence of a perfect solution, I decided to take the simplest one and apply it to LinFu.DynamicObject: The first mixin in DynamicObject is the first to execute. Here's an example:
public class GreeterMixin
{
 private string _message;
 public GreeterMixin(string message)
 {
 _message = message;
 }
 public void Greet()
 {
 Console.WriteLine(_message);
 }
}
public static class Program
{
 public static void Main()
 {
 GreeterMixin first = new GreeterMixin("Hello, World!");
 GreeterMixin second = new GreeterMixin("Hello, CodeProject!");
 DynamicObject dynamic = new DynamicObject();
 dynamic.MixWith(first);
 dynamic.MixWith(second);
 // This will display "Hello, World!"
 dynamic.Methods["Greet"]();
 }
}
In this scenario, the first GreeterMixin will always be the first and only mixin to execute. This is because DynamicObject will search all of its mixins and methods for the first method

Mar. 23, 1998 Engineers at the University of Toronto have developed a software program that could save the transportation, mining and manufacturing industries millions of dollars.
The software, known as EXAKT, indicates the optimal time to renew, repair or replace equipment, says Professor Andrew Jardine of the department of mechanical and industrial engineering, one of the project's two principal researchers. The program, using mathematical models and equations, focuses on the equipment's current performance data as well as economic factors such as the initial cost of the equipment and estimated resale value of machine parts.
"This new software allows maintenance managers, for the first time, to combine risk assessment and economic considerations in terms of decision-making for industrial equipment," Jardine says. "The cost of replacing an item after it has failed completely will obviously be greater than replacing it under preventive conditions. It's not just a matter of running equipment into the ground."
Currently, managers considering parts replacement rely on one of two approaches -- the age-based technique that calculates equipment longevity based on the age of the equipment or the condition-based approach that relies on other measures such as the level of mineral-to-oil ratios in equipment.
Research was funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, Materials and Manufacturing Ontario, a provincial centre of excellence, and the Condition-Based Maintenance Consortium, an international partnership that includes various industries in Canada, the United States and Hong Kong.

an instrument for determining the salt content in water by measuring electrical conductivity through the methods of conductometric analysis. In energetics, salinometers are used to determine salt content in feedwater and boiler water, as well as in the steam condensate. On ships, salinometers are used to measure the salinity of seawater.


use IGeometricEffects to get the results for individual dash or offset effects but not both. However, you can use IGeometricEffect to get the result of applying a combination of dash and offset effects as a single effect.
 The RepresentationRule class does not implement IGraphicAttributes. Thus, when IGeometricEffect is used to reference a RepresentationRule to retrieve the chain of effects on this rule as a single effect, IGraphicAttributes must not be used to get back the graphic attributes present for these effects.
 The following table lists the available geometric effects along with their valid input and output geometry types and graphic attributes:

 Graphic attributes and graphic attribute types
 Graphic attributes are attributes used to define graphical properties for marker placements and geometric effects, and BasicMarkerSymbol, LineStroke, GradientPattern, LinePattern, and SolidColorPattern objects. RepresentationClass also has a single graphic attribute for controlling its visibility property. All graphic attributes are enumerated into esriGraphicAttribute, esriGeometricEffectAttributes, and esriMarkerPlacementAttributes enumerations.
 IGraphicAttributes is the basic interface that a class must implement to have a list of its own graphic attributes. Use the ClassName property on this interface in conjunction with either IGeometricEffect or IMarkerPlacement to determine which geometric effect or marker placement object is currently used. The esriGraphicAttributeType enumeration has the following attribute types:
 - Boolean
 - Color
 - Dash
 - Double
 - Enum
 - Integer
 - Marker
 - Size
 - Text
 The BasicMarkerSymbol modifying graphic attributes, color, angle, size, and transparency are shown in the following illustration:
 MapContext and OutputContext
 The following reference frames are used for data translation among geographic, map, and output display contexts:
 - Geographic reference frame - A feature layer represents geographic data and can be reprojected prior to drawing the features on a map.
 - Map reference frame (MRF) - An intermediate frame introduced to define a clear context in which geometric effects and on-the-fly processing work. This frame is similar to the map sheet frame that is used with a 72 dpi graphic resolution centered at the geographic spatial reference. The advantage of having the MRF is to provide a stable context for geometric effects and marker placement properties as this is in a graphic frame but independent of zoom levels and pan positions. Linear attributes (distance and length) are relative to this frame. For example, a 12 point offset is a 12 unit displacement in MRF. Effects store these attributes in MRF units and use them without any transformation.
 - Output reference frame - Consists of an output device that displays the map with a zoom level that is not equal to the reference scale as well as a changed center position.
 Representation reference frames are shown in the following diagram:
 Use IMapContext and IOutputContext to get references to the MapContext and OutputContext objects.

Trussville resident Mike Jenne has spent a good part of the past decade creating a fictional account of a secret military space mission during the Cold War, and his work is finally paying off. Yucca Publishing released his first novel, "Blue Gemini", on May 5. Two other installments, "Blue Darker than Black" and "Pale Blue" will be released at six-month intervals.
A writer of historical fiction and techno-thrillers, Jenne is a licensed pilot, aerospace aficionado and amateur space historian. As a child growing up in Huntsville, he attended school with the children of Wernher von Braun's German rocket scientists and often felt the ground shudder as the Saturn V moon rockets were test at Marshall Space Flight Center.
Jenne is also a former Special Forces officer who has served around the world, including deployments to Central America, Haiti, the Middle East and Afghanistan, so the military and outer space aspects of his story are familiar territory for him.
"My training as a pilot helped immensely," he said, "and while I've never been to space – obviously – I have personally spent time in many of the places described in the trilogy, mostly as a result of my Special Forces background."
Jenne is also well versed in the history of the Gemini two-man spacecraft used to validate all the procedures necessary for man to ultimately travel to the moon.
"The Air Force actually had plans to continue flying the Gemini, in much the same manner that's described in the book, after NASA had finished the Gemini missions," Jenne said. "But by the time the Apollo 11 astronauts landed on the moon, the Air Force's plans had been cancelled, and the Gemini never flew again.
"So the idea for my story was that the Air Force continued to fly the Gemini in secret, to intercept and destroy Soviet satellites suspected of being armed with nuclear weapons."
Jenne dedicated "Blue Gemini" to granddaughter Anna Kate, a seventh grader at Hewitt-Trussville Middle School, who grew from a preschooler into a talented young actress during the time her grandfather created "Blue Gemini" series.
"(My wife) Adele and I have been taking her to plays since she was three, and she was in her first show at ACTA when she was four," he said. "We've both been bitten by the creative bug, so it's fun and rewarding to watch her talent grow.
"For Anna Kate, I want this book to stand as a tangible example that if you tenaciously pursue your dreams, then someday you will see them come to fruition."
"Blue Gemini" is available online at Amazon.com, Google Books, Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million.

This paper offers a critical evaluation of the notion of collective voice, advanced by Freeman and Medoff (1984) in their pioneering contribution What Do Unions Do? It takes note of theoretical and empirical work supportive of/consistent with the collective voice/institutional response model, and tracks some development of the model. Equally, although much criticism of What Do Unions Do? has been wide of the mark, there are critical areas in which the model is deficient. These lacunae include, but are not restricted to, the lingering imprecision of collective voice; the problem of bargaining power which calls into question the distinction between collective voice/institutional response and the monopoly face of unionism; the over-emphasis upon worker dissatisfaction; and, relatedly, the neglect of individual voice. The bottom line is that the notion of union voice is urgently in need of restatement if it is to continue to shape research into the economic consequences of unions.

Best Flickering Flames Solar Buying Guide
- Brightness: One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing flickering flames solar is the level of brightness. Many people end up purchasing cheap lights that have low brightness, therefore, you need to look for lights that have a very high lumen rate. Remember that lumens represent the kind of brightness that the lights have. If the flame's solar light has a high lumen, then the brighter it will be.
- Battery Capacity: Another key factor you need to look at is the battery capacity. Look for a model that has a larger battery capacity in order to have a longer duration of lighting up. This is great because you need a light that works throughout the night.
- Solar Quality: Solar panel quality is likewise an essential consideration. How fast will it convert sun energy into usable energy? Higher-efficiency solar panels that are made with the latest technology have high conversion and need small space for definite wattage
- Materials: Look for solar path lights that are made with high-quality and durable materials for them to be strong and able to last long.

In C if a user enters an input like "andjdnd" in a in a place holder of char then the program crashes.How can we prevent the crash and warn the user about his/her wrong input?

 Show your code. You said place hold of Char. When using C and inputting a string, you have to have an array place hold of the char type. and in the last place of the array you have to have \0, which signals the end.

 The issue is that you are using scanf with a %c argument, use a %s instead, this will just capture the first character typed in the input. Without that change what happens is that it takes the first character for the scanf with %c(which means only a single char) and the next set of chars for the next scanf and the return ends up blanking the final input. So the time = a the yrs = 0 (because of invalid input) and sal = 0.0000 One of the problems with validating the input with the code you are using is that there is a basic input validation happening. To insure that you can validate the input you need to capture it, then you can validate and convert as necessary. When you type a char that is not an int to a %d value, what you end up capturing it 0. Then there is no way to to see what was actually typed.

 In other situations,assume : char name[10]; If a user types more characters(or some invalid character like #,$,%) then what piece of code should I include in my program to check ?There is a inbuilt function to check that which I can't recall.And if you can suggest any other solution?

 The following code is an an example of testing if an input string is a number or not: #include <stdio.h> int main() { char name[10]; int i=0; int isanumber = 1; scanf("%s",&name); while(name[i] != '\0' && i < 10) { if (name[i] >= '0' && name[i] <= '9') { } else { isanumber =0; } i++; } if (isanumber == 1) { printf("Is a number\n"); } else { printf("Not a number\n"); } return 0; }

Terahertz rays see into the nanoworld
A new form of imaging that could be particularly valuable in medicine can be used to see nanoscale objects, US researchers report. Terahertz (THz) promises an alternative to techniques such as X-ray, magnetic-resonance and ultrasound imaging, being potentially cheaper, safer, more detailed and more penetrating. All this makes it very attractive for studying body tissue, to look at, say, wound healing or tumor development..
