Actuators Outputs The Start each time block The Start each time block offers the option of running a program when a condition is fulfilled. Therefore, it works similar to a case distinction, but runs not only one time, but rather every time the condition is fulfilled during the entire course of the program. The Start each time block: Is an abbreviation for the following construct: You can insert all conditions from this category into the Outputs category in the Start each time block. Note: The program section in the Start each time block should be kept short, and should not contain any blocking calls or endless loops, so that this part of the program can be processed quickly. LEDs Set You can use the set LED ... and set LED brightness ... blocks to switch the LEDs on and off, and to set their brightness to a certain value (from 0 to 512). Call You can use the get LED brightness block to call up the brightness of an LED and process it as a value. Query You can use the blocks is LED ... and is LED brightness ... to use the activity or the brightness of an LED as a condition. In the example, the brightness of the LED is set to 512 if it does not already have this brightness. Motors The symbol on the motor blocks represents all motors that are not encoder or servo motors. Set You can use the set motor speed to []... block to set the speed of a motor to a certain value (from 0 to 512). Call You can use the get motor speed block to call up the speed of a motor and process it as a value. Query You can use the blocks if motor is running and if motor speed is ... to use the activity or speed of a motor as a condition. Stop You can use the block stop motor ... to stop a motor. Compressor Set You can use the block set compressor [] to switch the compressor on or off. Query You can use the block if compressor [] to use the activity of a compressor as a condition. Solenoid valve Set You can use the block set solenoid valve [] to switch the solenoid valve on or off. Here, "on" means that the valve is open, and "off" means that the valve is closed. Query You can use the block if solenoid valve [] to use the activity of a solenoid valve as a condition.Engine The Start each time block The Start each time block offers the option of running a program when a condition is fulfilled. Therefore, it works similar to a case distinction, but runs not only one time, but rather every time the condition is fulfilled during the entire course of the program. The Start each time block: Is an abbreviation for the following construct: You can insert all conditions from this category into the motor category in the Start each time block. Note: The program section in the Start each time block should be kept short, and should not contain any blocking calls or endless loops, so that this part of the program can be processed quickly. Engine The symbol on the motor blocks represents all motors that are not encoder or servo motors. Set You can use the set motor speed to []... block to set the speed of a motor to a certain value (from 0 to 512). You can use the drop down menu (small triangle) to select the direction of rotation. Call You can use the get motor speed block to call up the speed of a motor and process it as a value. Query You can use the blocks if motor is running and if motor speed is ... to use the activity or speed of a motor as a condition. Stop You can use the block stop motor [] to stop a motor. The stop motor [] block offers the option of stopping a motor directly, or allowing it to run to a stop. You can select the desired option using the drop down menu (small triangle): Servo motor Set You can use the set position to... block to set the position of a servo motor to a certain value (from 0 to 512). 0 and 512 are the values for the maximum deflection to the left and right. At a value of 256, therefore, the servo motor will be in the center. Call You can use the get position block to call up the position of a servo motor and process it as a value. Encoder motor The encoder motor has the same functions as a normal motor, but also offers the option of counting revolutions and controlling multiple motors synchronously. A rotation is divided into ~64 steps. Set You can use the block to set the speed of a motor to a certain value (from 0-512). You can use the drop down menu (small triangle) to select the direction of rotation. In addition, you can enter the number of steps the motor should complete. In this example, the motor turns 100 steps, or one and one third turns. As you can see in the example, this block has a plus sign that can be used to control multiple motors synchronously. It is possible to synchronize motors to the master or to an extension, however comprehensive synchronization, for instance between motors of the master and an extension, is not possible. Note: Multiple synchronization calls in rapid sequence, such as could be caused by a loop (see example), can have a negative impact on synchronicity or prevent this entirely. Stop You can use the block stop motor ... to stop a motor. If you would like to stop multiple motors at the same time, you can add up to three additional motors by clicking the plus sign at the left of the block. Query Block has reached position is used to utilize reaching the position as a condition. Position here means the end position of an encoder motor after completing the step size.Sound The TXT 4.0 Controller: has a built-in speaker, and therefore offers the option of playing sounds. The Start each time block The Start each time block offers the option of running a program when a condition is fulfilled. Therefore, it works similar to a case distinction, but runs not only one time, but rather every time the condition is fulfilled during the entire course of the program. The Start each time block: Is an abbreviation for the following construct: You can insert all conditions from this category into the sound category in the Start each time block. Note: The program section in the Start each time block should be kept short, and should not contain any blocking calls or endless loops, so that this part of the program can be processed quickly. Play Pre-installed audio files You can use the following block to play one of 29 pre-installed sounds. You can select the desired audio using the drop down menu (small triangle). In addition, the sound can be played in a continuous loop. To do so, check the box beside the continuous loop symbol. Own audio files If you would like to play your own sound, you can use the block To embed your own sound in the block, you must: be connected to the Controller enter the IP address of the Controller in the browser (you must select the IP that was used to connect to the Controller) enter USER: ft, PASSWORD: fischertechnik on the accessed page open the Sounds folder, and load the desired audio file to the Controller there using the plus sign (important note: the audio file must be available in wav format) enter "./filename.wav" in the ROBO Pro Coding block under path Here as well, you have the option of playing the sound in a continuous loop. Query To query whether an audio file is played, use the play sound block. This can be used as a condition in the program. Stop To stop a sound, simply use the stop playing sound block in the program. Display You can use the blocks in the Display category to design the screen of the TXT 4.0 Controller and make it easier to use. This requires two steps: Configure, which means open a new file in the Display category using the Pages symbol with the plus sign at the top left drag the desired items to the screened area (this represents the configurable part of the display) adjust the specifications as needed. Program, which means program the interactions with the display in the main program using the blocks in the Display category. Blocks Event request The event block [] opens the return value for an element. This block can only be used in the event programs. In these event programs, the block automatically relates to the event in whose program it is used. You can select the suitable type for the return value using the drop down menu (small triangle): Label field You can use the label field element to place a text on the screen. The symbol in the display configurator is the label. Drag this symbol to the screened area to open a window at the right side. Here, you can use Inspector to define the size of the label field in pixels, the position of the label field in pixels (the top left corner of the text field is at the given point), the name of the label field, and the content of the label field (this text is shown when the Display is started) . You can use the block set label field text ... to change the text shown in the course of the program. Submissions The inputs element allows users to enter text via the Controller. The associated symbol in the display configurator is the "T" character. Drag this symbol to the screened area to open a window at the right side. Here, you can use Inspector to define the size of the input field in pixels, the position of the input field

Sportsmen and their sweaters: knitting patterns as historical sources
Polley, Martin (2009) Sportsmen and their sweaters: knitting patterns as historical sources. In, Recording Leisure Lives: Sports, Games and Pastimes, Bolton, UK, 07 Apr 2009.
Full text not available from this repository.
Old knitting patterns are easy to see as ephemeral, disposable items, artefacts of everyday life that we can see in our memory on our mothers' laps, but that we don't readily picture in an archive. They are produced for a very specific purpose, and are not designed to become historians' sources. However, cultural historians and historians of everyday life can learn from them, and can use them as windows on to their time of production. Using sport-related knitting patterns from Winchester School of Art's Knitting Reference Library as a case study, this paper will look at what historians can get from this type of evidence: both empirical evidence about disposable income, materials, and technology, and household economics, and more subjective, cultural evidence about class, identity, and gender. The paper will build on the call that I made for sports historians to use wider variety of sources in Sports History: a practical guide (Palgrave, 2007).

The Registration of Titles to Land (Amendment) Bill, 2012
4 May 2012
Changes to Land Registration... to come soon...
The Registration of Titles to Land (Amendment) Bill, 2012 was introduced in the Senate on 6 March, 2012 by Senator the Honourable Emmanuel George, Minister of Public Utilities.
The full text of the Bill is available in PDF format on this website, you can download it via this link. You may also place your comments directly on this Bill page, which can be accessed here.
The following is a brief explanation of some aspects of the Bill
PURPOSE OF THE BILL
The Registration of Titles to Land (Amendment) Bill, 2012 will seek to amend the Registration of Titles to Land Act No.16 of 2000.
The Bill is comprised of 21 clauses.
What is Land Registration?
Land registration generally describes systems by which matters concerning ownership, possession or other rights in land can be recorded (usually with a government agency or department) to provide evidence of title, facilitate transactions and to prevent unlawful disposal. The information recorded and the protection provided will vary by jurisdiction.
Land Registration in Trinidad & Tobago
In Trinidad & Tobago there are two systems of land registration:
- Deed Registration
- Title Registration
Both have co-existed since 1889 and are managed by the Land Registry in the Registrar General Office.
Registration of Land Title Documents
This includes Deeds of Conveyance, Mortgages, Powers of Attorney, Agreements, Charges, Debentures, Deed Polls, Probate and Grants and Instruments under the Real Property Ordinance e.g. Transfers, Mortgages, Leases, Caveats, Death of Proprietors.
What does "title to land" mean?
Title refers to the legal ownership of particular part or property. A deed or Certificate of Title is the only means whereby a person can demonstrate ownership, and register his/her ownership.
The title provides an up-to-date official record of the legal ownership of the property or piece of land in question. Information on Title will generally include:
- A description of the property.
- Name of the owner or owners.
- Mortgage lender (if any).
- Rights of way (not public rights of way) or other rights affecting the property.
- Restrictions or other conditions.
Why the need for land title legislation?
- Land title documents serve as evidence of ownership of a piece of property
- Registration also affords property owners some protection against squatters and;
- It makes the transferring or mortgaging of land easier for the persons involved.
- According to a study by the Law Association in 2007 "Implementing the Land Titles Legislative Package":
- 47% of all households do not have adequate title documents
- Approximately 30,000 households have no title Documents
- There is widespread squatting on State and private land
Benefits of Land Registration
- Cheaper, quicker, easier and safer transfer of land
- Improved land tenure security as Government will guarantee title to all registered land.
- Simplification of land transactions
- Elimination of the need to search several deeds and other legal documents in order to establish ownership of title (therefore reducing cost).
- Reduced squatting and land disputes
- Land registration assists Government in:
- Land use planning
- Environmental management & protection
- Equitable taxation
- Tax policy options physical planning
- Development control State land administration and management
What are the key features of this proposed legislation?
Some key features of this Bill include proposals for:
- The creation of a new post of Senior Assistant Registrar (clause 5) who must be an Attorney –At-Law who performs functions of the Registrar General in his/her absence and holds position of Commissioner of Affidavits
- The creation of a condominium folio for every condominium unit
- A more defined procedure for the first registration of any parcel for which a folio is to be prepared and signed by the Registrar showing the particulars of ownership and particulars of encumbrances if any.
- To replace words Certificate of Title with Land Certificate
- To replace section 30 (1) with a new subsection to amend the reasons for rectification by The Registrar:
- in formal matters and in cases of errors or omissions not materially affecting the interests of the proprietor
- in any case at any time with the consent of all persons interested
- where upon resurvey an area shown in in the register is incorrect the Registrar is sanctioned to give notice to all persons appearing by the register who will be interested or affected by his intention to rectify
- upon receipt of any decision of any Court or the Land Tribunal
- To provide for a new subsection 30(3) allowing the Registrar to record any change in the Register any name or address changes of any proprietor on the written application
- To provide for new subsections; 73(2),(3),and (4):
- (2) to allow for persons seeking to deal with registered land with consent in writing from the proprietor who have applied for an official search stating particulars of the proposed dealing in his/her application called an instrument to have a suspension period of 14 days from the time the official search was made.
- (3) to grant the instrument priority over any other instrument presented for registration during the suspension period
- (4) to provide for any instrument or document for registration during the suspension period other than that affecting the proposed dealing to be deal with in the same manner and hold the same priority and be as effectual as if no stay of registration had been obtained.
Important Issues for consideration
- The Bill allows the Real Property Ordinance to be repealed in respect of lands brought under the Act and is not applicable to adjudicated land or interests registered in Land Registry.
- Land Registration is limited by its slow and long process
- Few land owners undertake to transfer lands from the unregistered to registered system
- There is still need for a comprehensive complete computerized database of land information
- Delays in the implementation of technological complements to the land registration system such as digitization of cadastral index and aerial photography to provide accurate topographic maps
- Amendments to land surveying legislation needed

PRESS RELEASE FROM THE PIKE ANGLERS CLUB
Pike anglers are stunned by the Government's refusal to back their campaign to save the Norfolk Broads.
The issue surfaced in Parliament during Prime Minister's Questions today (Weds), when North Norfolk MP Gordon Lamb asked whether sea defences protecting the Upper Thurne and its broads would be safeguarded.
Plans to abandon defences have been proposed at a meeting between Natural England, the Broads Authority and the Environment Agency.
If put into action, the so-called managed retreat would lead to Hickling Broad, Horsey Mere, the Martham Broads and Heigham Sound being flooded by the sea.
Documents leaked to the Pike Anglers Club say the move would send out "the right message" about the impact of climate change on our coastline.
But the 2800-strong club has pledged to fight to save what it calls some of Britain's most historically-important pike fisheries.
Mr Lamb asked for assurances that sea defences between Eccles and Winterton would continue to be maintained.
But Commons Leader Harriet Harman, sitting in for Prime Minister Gordon Brown, said ministers would work to ensure "the right way forward".
Mr Lamb said he was "disappointed" at the response. Six villages, thousands of hectares of farmland and internationally-important nature reserves are also at risk.
Mr Lamb, who said he was disappointed at the response, is calling for Environment Minister Hilary Benn to visit Norfolk to see for himself the area which would be affected by the plan.
The Pike Anglers Club said: "We are stuuned. We share Mr Lamb's disappointment at the lack of assurances from the Government that the Broads will continue to be protected.
"We are talking about a cost of around £1.5m a year to maintain sea defences which protect thousands of homes, let alone some of our finest pike fisheries.
"It is unthinkable that all this could be lost to "send out the right message" about climate change" and save what is a relatively small amount in the scheme of things."
More than 500 people have signed an online petition on Gordon Brown's 10 Downing Street website to Save the Broads.

text: AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the dimensional stability of oriented strand boards (OSBs) with the core layer made of fine wood chips when the boards were exposed to air of variable relative humidity (30%, 65%, and 85%). The share of fine wood chips, intended for the particleboard core layer or originating from comminution of unrefined particleboards, accounted for 50% or 100% of the core layer mass. This study revealed much greater changes in the length of the board's shorter axis, regardless of the type of fine wood chips in the core layer. These changes increased with an increasing share of this type of chips in the core layer. More pronounced changes in thickness were observed for particleboards containing 50% of the fine chips. The research also showed that the relative changes in linear dimensions were slightly smaller in OSBs containing 50% of wood chips from the comminution of unrefined particleboards than in the boards with a core layer made from wood chips designed for this purpose.

How Does Blender Bottle Work – Working of a Blender
How does a blender work?
Let's have a look at how a relatively simple machine, a blender, and how does blender bottle work? In this complete guide you will get top features of how to use your blender and blender bottle in a way you never have thought before. So let's keep rollin'.
What is a blender?
SpeckAce - Best Reviews Website
What is a Blender – Oster Blender
It is an appliance that is within the range of household appliances. Its function is mixing and liquifying foods that, thanks to the grinding action, they end up merging. The device is used in the kitchen, and there are currently several types of it. The birth of the blender had a significant impact on society. Because, in the past, the work of crushing and blending was slow and complicated.
In the culinary world, the use of implements such as mortar and metate changed to one that was much more sophisticated and faster. The Polish Stephen J. Poplawski invented the blender in 1922. He lived in the United States, and thanks to his obsession with creating functional devices for mixing drinks, he created one that is nowadays essential.
Types of blender:
 1. Centrifugation blender: It is the appliance that is responsible for extracting the juice from vegetables and fruits through the centrifugation process. In Latin America, it as a "juice extractor" and in Spain as an "electric juicer."
 2. Grinding: Contains a motor that rotates blades to crush different types of food. In Spain, it's known as a "glass mixer" and in Latin America as a "blender."
 3. Hand blender: It is a much more modern type of mixer. It is also known as a "mini primer" and is used to mix food directly from the container. Its widely used for making purees, soups, and sauces.
Parts of a blender
 - Electric motor – It is the power source of the appliance, ultimately being what allows the blades to rotate.
 - Housing – It is the frame with which the motor is protected. There are the switches in it.
 - Shaft – It is an element with geometry, which is almost always asymmetric and is used as the support for rotating parts, although it does not transmit any torque. It is the piece with which the blender bottle rotates.
 - Glass – It is a glass or plastic container generally, which will contain food. Inside it the food is crushed.

How does a blender work?
The operation of the blender depends more than anything on its motor since it is the part in charge of making the blades or blades move and can crush what is inside the glass.
Even though they are convenient, they are elementary devices since they only consist of a container, the leaves, a casing, and inside of it a motor. The motor that they have and which serves to make the blades move and crush everything they find.
Its operation is efficient since the device is elementary. It consists of a glass that adheres to the motor at the time of blending, blades, and a lid. Traditional blenders generally have three speeds (low, medium, and high). All a user must do is put the food to mix in the glass and close it. As soon as the motor starts, it is generally possible for the user to choose between different speeds: slow, medium, and fast so that the rate with which the blades already attached to the mechanism will rotate vary. These different speeds will be useful to prepare different kinds of food, such as if you want to crush ice.
From that moment, the mechanism will start to rotate the blades and, inside the glass, a whirlwind will form thanks to the way they turn. The blending time will depend on the food in question. If they are soft, it will not take long, but if not, they may take more time and liquids to help with the process. On the other hand, due to the way blender works, a kind of eddy will be generated in the container due to the shape and speed of blades. The liquid that is formed will move to the sides and will also return to the middle because its substantial parts will move to the bottom, where the blades are; therefore, everything will undoubtedly get crushed.
Blender works with two energies:
Mechanical energy: which is created or generated when an external energy source feeds the automatic device and makes it rotate, advance, reverse, etc. It manifests itself by pressing the switches that turn the blade and move the jug.
Electric energy: which results from the existence of a potential difference between two points, which allows establishing an electric current between the two. When it is contacted using an electrical conductor and get the work of the blender.
If everything doesn't turn liquid, more power would have to be applied to make the swirl effect more practical.
Delicacies of all kinds can be prepared in the blender, for example, smoothies, creams, soups, sauces, among others. It is also essential for making cocktails in bars and similar places.
In modern times, the principle with which the blender was created, is used in other types of smaller, more powerful, or even more manual devices and without the need to rely on electrical energy. It can be seen, for example, that although there are now models with different sizes or antlers, the shape of these will always create a swirl that will crush and mix whatever is added to it.

What is a Blender Bottle?
how does a blender bottle work - best blenders for smoothies
A Blender Bottle – How Does a Blender Bottle Work
A blender bottle, as the name suggests, is a plastic or polymer glass cup used for mixing and is an essential part of a blender. It comes with a very tightly sealed and secure lid. The lid contains a round-shaped metallic ball, usually made of steel. Blender bottles are very convenient and low priced and the most important thing is that they are really easy to use.
What can a blender bottle do?
We all associate blenders and blender bottles with juices and smoothies, of course, it is its natural function and to which we are most accustomed. However, it has other services and uses. We will show you some ideas of what can do with a blender.
Today we honor our summer superhero with different fresh and creative ways in how to use your blender bottle.
For those of you who see the blender as just a smoothie machine, you're going to get amazed.
For us who have been using the blender bottle for more than just smoothies since the 20th century, consider this a reminder of all that what a blender (if we know how to use it) can give us.
Smoothies and smoothies
Of course. A blender, regardless of whether it's a lifelong Moulinex Vitae or the professional Clatronic AE 3532, couldn't be complete without a mixed drink. There's nothing like a tremendous frothy smoothie with lots of ice cream or a fruity smoothie with a frozen banana to make you feel like a kid again. Drink your way back to childhood with the shakes!
In our other article we have explained about best blenders for smoothies.
It is time to relax. The list of cocktails that can make in a blender is endless, but margaritas are my favorite with cup aficionados.
Your blender can help you make the sauce smooth, silky and flavorful. Take advantage of those tomatoes that you already have and are very ripe to make a homemade tomato sauce!
A high-quality mixer (especially high-end, professional blenders ) are the secret in making ultra-creamy sauces for the holiday or happy hour. Hummus is a classic to succeed with pita chips, celery, or spread on sandwiches, delicious!
Gazpacho or cold soups
Gazpacho, the classic Spanish tomato soup served cold, is a traditional blender dish. We love cold soups, and they are perfect for summer dinners or hot meals during the day, and they are a super quick and easy way to use fresh produce.
What is the function of a blender bottle?
So let's explain the functions of a blender bottle to get into details of how does blender bottle work. We have explained some detailed recipes that you can make with the help of blenders:
Ice cream
You can make ice creams inside a blender bottle. Ice cream makers are expensive, and making ice cream from scratch takes a long time – but not with your trusted blender! Can you imagine a chocolate and hazelnut ice cream in the mixer? Did you know that a frozen banana is synonymous with banana ice cream?
Mousse or Pudding
Use a food processor to whip the cream, but it's so easy to do it in a blender bottle! It is creamy and delicious. It's very reasonable to make this delightful dairy-free mousse – especially in a blender bottle.
Creams of all kinds, such as mayonnaise
Another of its features is to make creams like mayonnaise. With a blender, you will save time and effort, in addition to achieve different results than when you do it by hand.
Mixes to make omelets
Don't you feel like cooking? Do you contact like you have no energy? Even if you need to make an omelet, you can make use of your blender bottle. Have the mixture ready in a few seconds and enjoy a portion of delicious food.
Baby food
Another of its uses is to create baby food. You can add the ingredient you want to create good food for your baby, healthy as well as nutritious. In addition to saving

How to Undo/Redo in Apple Pages
If you make a mistake while working on Apple Pages, you can easily undo what you've done with the Undo feature. In addition, if you change your mind, you may easily undo the previous command in the majority of applications.
How to Undo/Redo in Apple Pages
If you have ever made an error in Pages, you can use the universal command known as "Undo," which is incorporated into the majority of Mac applications, to rectify all of these mistakes and more. When you use the Undo function, you roll back the most recent change you made and restore something to its previous state before you made the modification. In a similar fashion, Redo enables you to redo the previous action you completed before using Undo.
 - Step 1: Use an option in the menu bar
 how to undoredo in apple pages step 0
 Using an option located in the menu bar that is located at the very top of the screen on your Mac is one of the simplest ways to do an undo operations. When you need to undo something, go to the menu bar and click "Edit," then select "Undo" from the menu that appears. The "Undo" command is nearly always the very first option available, and sometimes the "Undo" command will change to include the action that you're undoing, such as "Undo Move" or "Undo Typing."
 - Step 2: You can also use a keyword shortcut for Undo
 how to undoredo in apple pages step
 If you would like to use a keyboard shortcut to Undo the operation that you just completed, you can do so by pressing the Command and Z keys on your Mac keyboard. This action is the same as selecting Edit > Undo from the top menu bar. On a Windows computer, the action is analogous to hitting the Ctrl and Z keys simultaneously.

 why is there an exception when I call the ReadXml() method on a DataTable object?
 I grabbed some data from a computer in the local network and placed it inside an ADO.NET DataTable and saved it to an Xml file in the local computer by calling the XmlWrite() method on the object and specifying XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema as the second argument.
 The Xml file was saved successfully, but when I later tried to open the same Xml file using the XmlRead() method, I kept getting an exception indicating that the data could not be read, apparently because the format of the data was not recognizable, or something along those lines.
 I reviewed the Xml file and didn't find any weird unicode characters in there. I also tried to write the Xml file by passing a FileStream object to the XmlWrite method and specifying the Encoding but that didn't solve the problem when i later tried to have the DataTable read the Xml file.
 Could this problem be related to the fact that the data that was loaded onto the first DataTable came from a spreadsheet file sitting on a computer running a 32 bit operating system, but when I tried to read the Xml file (after I saved it on the local computer via XmlWrite()) the data had been somehow made illegible by the fact that the local computer is running windows 7 64 bit?
 Someone mentioned something about a byte mark or something like that. Does anyone have a clue?

 Then come back with actual code and information, and not just some ramble full of "apparently" and "something" and other vague and useless nonsense.

 There is no need to post code because my explanation is sufficiently clear. If you are dyslexic and can't read that's a pity but it doesn't give you the right to be rude to people who have not crossed you in any way.

 What is the exception message? Normally when the Xml reader fails to read a document it will tell you where it failed eg. (3, 4) meaning column 3, row 4.

 This is vague, what, exactly, was the exception you received? What object threw the exception? How did you go about reading the XML? Did you bother to read the post on how to ask questions?
 Without knowing these things it's impossible to give an answer that would be meaningful.

Machine learning methods are known to be inefficient when faced with many features that are unnecessary for rule discovery. In coping with this issue, many methods have been proposed for selecting important features. Among them is feature selection that selects a subset of discriminative features or attribute for model building due to its ability to avoid overfitting issue, improve model performance, provide faster and producing reliable model. This paper proposes a new method based on rough set algorithms, which is a rule-based data mining method to select the important features in bioinformatics datasets. Amino acid compositions are used as conditional features for the classification task. However, our results indicate that all amino acid composition features are equally important thus selecting the features are unnecessary. We do confirm the need of having a balance classes in classifying the protein function by demonstrating an increase of more than 15% in accuracy.

Wayan Swantika of the local archaeology agency says workers digging a drainage basin last week in eastern Denpasar, Bali's capital, at first discovered a large stone about 1 meter (3 feet) underground.
Excavation teams have since uncovered a 57-meter (62-yard) structure that is believed to be the temple's foundation.
The find is still being analyzed, but given the shape and characteristics of the materials used, Swantika says he believes it was built sometime between the 13th and 15th centuries. He added that it is also thought to be the largest ancient temple ever discovered in Bali.

Compassionate care for people who self-harm: principles, tools and techniques
Gillian Rayner Reader/associate professor counselling and psychotherapy, community health and midwifery, University of Central Lancashire, Preston, England
Karen Wright Professor in nursing, University of Central Lancashire, Preston, England
Why you should read this article:
 - To understand the benefits of compassionate care for people who self-harm
 - To learn about tools that can be used to provide compassionate care such as urge surfing and 'compassionate kit bags'
 - To contribute towards revalidation as part of your 35 hours of CPD (UK readers)
 - To contribute towards your professional development and local registration renewal requirements (non-UK readers)
People who self-harm tend to find it challenging to accept care and compassion from others and to be compassionate towards themselves. Providing compassionate care to people who self-harm can be a soothing intervention that reduces their distress and/or helps them manage their distress. Nurses can support people who self-harm on their journey towards recovery by delivering interventions informed by compassion-focused therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy.
This article offers insights into compassionate care for people who self-harm and advice on how to provide it. Tools and techniques for enhancing compassion in the care of people who self-harm – including formulation, urge surfing, compassionate kit bags and compassionate wound care – are described. A case study outlines the importance of showing compassion to people who self-harm when they seek support from healthcare services.

The molecular structure of acetanilide is C8H9NO. Acetanilide is a stable, though combustible, solid that commonly appears as a gray or white powder. It is also known as N-phenylacetamide, acetanil and Antifebrin.Continue Reading
In the 19th century, acetanilide was used to synthesize dyes, rubbers and penicillin. It was also used to produce 4-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl chloride, which is a key compound for manufacturing sulfa drugs.
The experimental melting point of acetanilide ranges between 112 to 154 degrees Celsius, based on studies by Alfa Aesar, Jean-Claude Bradley, Oxford University and others. The experimental boiling point of acetanilide ranges between 304 and 305 degrees Celsius.Learn more about Chemical Equations


Shell Grit for Chickens
by Natural Poultry Essentials
A must-have for laying pullets and hens!
Why do your chickens need shell grit?
Chickens don't have teeth! Therefore ensuring they have a supply of grit is critical to the health of their gizzard. It's also a critical source of calcium for strong bones and egg shells.
What is shell grit?
Natural Poultry Essentials Shell Grit is literally broken up seashells. It's 100% real, natural and Australian. It's a mixture of fine and medium textures, perfect for laying hens and pullets.
How to use shell grit for chickens
Chooks love shell grit when it's clean and shiny, so keep half a cup at a time in a container that they can't scratch in. Allow them to "free choice", meaning rather than mixing it into their feed, offer it to them to peck as they please.
A small birdcage-style feeder hooked on the side of their coop or run (out of the weather), is perfect. Wet slightly if it's losing its lustre.

Agapitus (consul 517)
Flavius Agapitus (floruit 517–523) was a Roman politician during the reign of Theodoric the Great. He held the consulship with Flavius Anastasius Paulus Probus Sabinianus Pompeius Anastasius as his colleague in 517.
In 523, Agapitus was part of the entourage of Pope John I, who had been ordered by king Theodoric to proceed to Constantinople and obtain a moderation of Emperor Justin's decree of 523 against the Arians. Theodoric threatened that if John should fail in his mission, there would be reprisals against the orthodox Catholics in the West. Other Senators accompanying Pope John included Inportunus, Theodorus, and the patrician Agapitus.

River Islands, located within the Stewart Track in the City of Lathrop, is a 5,000-acre, master-planned community located southwest of the San Joaquin River. PACE was hired to provide master planning and design services for the development's potable water, recycled water and sanitary sewer infrastructure. PACE worked with the developer's general civil engineer to analyze and model all wet utility infrastructure and verify each system's performance under average, maximum, and peak operating conditions. For the potable water distribution system model, peak conditions included verifying the performance of the system to meet fire flow requirements under maximum and peak hour potable water demands. PACE was also responsible for determining the design requirements for all infrastructure improvements such as the pumping capacity of lift stations and booster pump stations, and size and height requirements for storage tank sites.
The potable water distribution model was analyzed using WaterGEMS and includes approximately 325,000 LF of distribution piping, 20,000 GPM of pumping capacity across two booster pump stations, and 10.8 MG of storage. The sanitary sewer model was created and analyzed within ArcGIS and includes approximately 390,000 LF of collection piping, and 6 sewer lift stations. All model results were summarized in individual master plan reports submitted and approved by the City of Lathrop.

R-Car/LAVA

< R-Car
Revision as of 07:29, 19 August 2021 by Stephenl (talk | contribs) (minor improvements to serial console text)
Jump to: navigation, search
Introduction
This page contains information on using the LAVA CI project on R-Car platforms.
It is not intended as a complete 'end to end' tutorial on running LAVA. There are numerous sources for such tutorials including the official LAVA documentation. Instead, the aim is to explain nuances of using R-Car platforms in LAVA and to accelerate integration.
Glossary
DUT = Device Under Test, e.g. hardware platform to be tested
Serial console
LAVA interacts with the DUT via a serial console. A typical test job will involve restarting the DUT through a power cycle. This can be for multiple reasons. Power cycling means each job starts with the same setup for example. Another is restarting after flashing the DUT to use the flashed software.
The challenge is therefore for LAVA to maintain a serial console connection through such resets. Some R-Car platforms reset the serial on power on causing LAVA to lose the ser2net/telnet console link and therefore its ability to control the DUT. This can be mitigated by setting the LOCAL option for the DUT in the LAVA Worker ser2net configuration file.
lava-docker
If you are managing your LAVA instance using lava-docker (a project that simplifies LAVA instances using Docker) you can automate this by setting the option in your boards.yaml:

Historical Notes


text:
After speaking with a local church pastor who's very committed to reaching out to a college close to his two churches, we've compiled the following. Please feel free to share your questions/comments.
Find the Adventist Students
- It's a good idea to connect to the campus with/via the students you already know there.
- If you haven't already found Adventist students on the campus.
- Ask your local church if they know of any
- Ask the school if they have a list of those who have self-identified as Adventist and if you can have that list
- Once you find the students, begin building community with them.
- Invite them over for Sabbath dinner or to your church potluck
- Invite them over for a game night
- Celebrate their birthdays
- Check on them during exam time
- Send them care packages
- Ask the students what the needs of their campus are and how your church can best meet them.
- Specific prayer requests
- Joining a fundraiser for a community charity (Tim Kerin Fund Drive at UT)
- Helping with a student's tuition
- Providing food for a student family that's struggling to make ends meet
- Encourage the students to create a formal ACF chapter on their campus.
- See ACF-GCC brochure or website for more on starting a chapter
If You Can't Find the Adventist Students…
(It may be hard to find them so here's what you can do.)
- Find out if there are other religious entities on the campus.
- If there are, call them up and/or visit them and ask what sorts of things they do for the students. (They are typically very willing to share their ministry ideas especially since many recognize that each religious entity is mostly reaching its own students—they won't be threatened by your ministry.)
- See if they are part of a larger campus ministry organization such as a "Campus Ministers Council," an entity that connects all of the campus ministers.
- This organization can give you much more information about how the campus relates to religious organizations.
- Get in touch with the school's "Student Life" department. It may be called "Office of Dean of Students," "Student Affairs," or something else. It's typically the department that is over student organizations.
- Ask Student Life what its policies are for outside entities connecting with the students.
- Be prepared to share ideas of how you'd like to connect:
- Monthly meals to students (served on campus)
- A weekly ESL program at your church
- Developing a worthy student fund
- Weekend childcare for students who are single parents
- Know the gifts of your church members and use those to brainstorm ideas for connecting with the campus.
- See if you're at least allowed to post flyers for upcoming events.
Remember to begin and end with prayers of faith.

Tungsten-containing formate dehydrogenase from Methylorubrum extroquens AM1 (FoDH1) was investigated from structural biology and bioelectrochemistry. The electron transfer (ET) pathways were investigated by structural information, electrostatic interactions between the electrode and the enzyme, and the differences in the substrates. Two electrode-active sites and multiple ET pathways in FoDH1 were discovered.

The shady bottoms of lunar pits remain at a comfortable 17°C no matter the time of day or night, according to recent observations by the Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter (LRO)
The finding that pits on the Moon have relatively stable, temperate conditions potentially earmarks them as sites for future lunar bases.
As NASA's Artemis programme prepares to return human beings to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo missions, information like this could be of vital use to future explorers.
During the 15 days of lunar sunshine, surface temperatures on the Moon can reach as high as 127°C, only to drop to –173°C during the lunar night.
"Lunar pits are a fascinating feature on the lunar surface," says LRO project scientist Noah Petro from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
"Knowing that they create a stable thermal environment helps us paint a picture of these unique lunar features and the prospect of one day exploring them."
The pits in question were first discovered in 2009 by the Japanese Kaguya orbiter and were soon touted as potential sites for a human base, offering protection from cosmic radiation and micrometeorites.
Now knowing that they also set the thermostat to room temperature, they seem an even better candidate.

Getting Started with Comments
Digital communities offer a myriad of ways for users to contribute content. Blog responses, product reviews, forum posts, and direct messages just to name a few. And while each of these mechanisms may serve a different purpose, they share quite a lot in common. At the heart of it, each represents a simple, hierarchical, contribution.
Episerver Social's Comments feature distills this concept down into a simple data structure that, in combination with the platform's data modeling concepts, can be applied to implement any such scenario.
What is a Comment?
The Episerver Social framework represents hierarchical content using a class called Comment (EPiServer.Social.Comments.Core.Comment). Fundamentally, a Comment is comprised of an Author, a Parent, and a Body. With these three things, we have enough information to build a conversation.
 - The Body represents the content, which has been contributed.
 - The Author identifies the contributor of the content. Who posted the comment? Who contributed the review?
 - The Parent identifies what the content is in reference to. Is this a comment on a page in your site? Is this a reply to another comment?
Relationships
What makes hierarchical content hierarchical are its relationships. When working with comments, there are two relationships to be aware of. The first is a comment's relationship to its Author. The second is a comment's relationship to its Parent
Episerver Social uses an open system of references to allow an application to represent such relationships. This gives a developer the freedom to identify elements in their application (pages, users, products, etc.) in a manner that is appropriate for that application. The framework provides a class called Reference (EPiServer.Social.Common.Reference), which uses a custom string to identify an application element.
Let's look at how the concept applies to a Comment.
Author
A Comment's Author is specified as a Reference, which identifies the contributing user. As the developer, you have the freedom to define the scheme used to identify that user.
So, in a simple web application, the username of an authenticated user may suffice for identifying a contributor.
var contributor = Reference.Create(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name);
In scenarios where user identities come from many different providers, a more sophisticated scheme may be required. You might consider a custom URI scheme to identify contributors.
var provider = ... // Set provider name
var username = ... // Set user name
var contributor = Reference.Create($"user://{provider}/{username}");
These are just two examples. Others might include a user ID, a GUID, a serialized identity object. The key takeaway is that your contibutors can be identified in whatever manner suits your application.
Parent
A Comment's Parent identifies what the comment is attached to. A comment can be attached to anything: a page, an Episerver Block, a product, an image, a user. Like the Author, a Parent is also identified using a Reference. So, you have the freedom to attach a Comment to anything that you can identify.
Let's say that we want to contribute a comment to an Episerver page. We might go about constructing our Parent Reference in the following manner.
public Reference CreateReferenceFor(PageData page)
{
 return Reference.Create(page.ContentGuid.ToString());
}
Similary, if we wanted to contribute a comment to an Episerver Commerce product, our Reference might be constructed as shown below.
public Reference CreateReferenceFor(ProductContent product)
{
 return Reference.Create(product.Code);
}
Now, while things like pages and products may be physically represented in a database somewhere, we're not strictly limited to such entities as a Parent. The ability to define our references means that we can also represent conceptual entities with no physical representation. Consider a feature where you'd like visitors to be able to discuss the facets of a product. A shirt's fit or a monitor's clarity. These are qualities of a product that likely have no stored entity to represent them but we can still have a conversation about them.
var product = product.Code;
var facet = "fit";
var parent = Reference.Create($"product://{product}/{facet}");
Contributing Comments
With an understanding of what comprises a Comment, we're ready to begin contributing them. Adding a Comment is a simple, two step, process:
 1. Construct the comment, defining its BodyAuthor, and Parent.
 2. Submit the Comment to Episerver Social.
All operations on Comments are performed through the ICommentService interface (EPiServer.Social.Comments.Core.ICommentService). A reference to this service can be obtained using Episerver's service locator.
Let's continue the example of contributing comments to a page within Episerver. Using the concepts that we covered above, the sample below demonstrates how we might implement such a scenario.
public class MyPageController : ContentController<MyContent>
{
 private readonly ICommentService commentService;

 public MyPageController()
 {
 commentService = EPiServer.ServiceLocation.ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ICommentService>();
 }

 // ...
 private void SubmitComment(PageData page, string body)
 {
 // 1. Construct the comment, defining its Body, Author, and Parent

 var comment = new Comment(
 CreateReferenceFor(page),
 CreateReferenceFor(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity),
 body,
 true
 );

 // 2. Submit the comment to Episerver Social.

 commentService.Add(comment);

 }

 private Reference CreateReferenceFor(PageData page)
 {
 return Reference.Create(page.ContentGuid.ToString());
 }

 private Reference CreateReferenceFor(IIdentity user)
 {
 return user.IsAuthenticated
 ? Reference.Create(user.Name)
 : Reference.Create("Anonymous");
 }
}
Now we can contribute comments to a page but conversation requires give-and-take. So, how do we reply to an existing comment? The process is very similar to what we've seen already with one small variation.
When a Comment is added to Episerver Social, ICommentService returns us a copy of that Comment populated with some system-generated information. The information includes a unique Id for the new Comment. When submitting a Comment as a reply to another, a Comment's Id is used as a Parent Reference.
Let's expand the controller class defined above with a new method for submitting a reply.
private void SubmitReply(CommentId parentCommentId, string body)
{
 // Convert the CommentId of the parent Comment into a Reference.

 var parentCommentReference = parentCommentId.ToReference();

 // Construct the comment, defining its Body, Author, and Parent

 var comment = new Comment(
 parentCommentReference,
 CreateReferenceFor(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity),
 body,
 true
 );

 // Submit the comment to Episerver Social.

 commentService.Add(comment);
}
Retrieving Comments
With the ability to add and reply to Comments, our application likely also needs to deliver them. Episerver Social provides a number of ways to filter your Comments for retrieval. Your application may leverage any or all of those filtering capabilities as needed. Let's cover a couple of scenarios to introduce some of the options.
Let's first assume that our application simply maintains a linear list of Comments (i.e. no replies) for a page. To present such a list, our application would want to retrieve a set of Comments with a Parent corresponding to that page.
private ResultPage<Comment> RetrieveComments(PageData page)
{
 // Determine the parent for which Comments should be retrieved

 var parent = CreateReferenceFor(page);

 // Define the criteria by which Comments should be retrieved

 var criteria = new Criteria<CommentFilter>()
 {
 Filter = new CommentFilter
 {
 Parent = parent
 },
 PageInfo = new PageInfo
 {
 PageSize = 10
 }
 };

 // Retrieve the Comments from Episerver Social

 return commentService.Get(criteria);
}
In this example, we resolve the Reference representing the desired page and assign that Reference as a filter in the Criteria that is submitted to Episerver Social. As a result, Episerver Social delivers only Comments that are immediate children of the identified page. (The method also limits the result set to a maximum of 10 items.)
If we revise this method a bit, we can make it flexible enough to deliver Comments, regardless of whether the Parent is a page or another Comment.
private ResultPage<Comment> RetrieveComments(Reference parent, int pageOffset = 0, int pageSize = 10)
{
 // Define the criteria by which Comments should be retrieved

 var criteria = new Criteria<CommentFilter>()
 {
 Filter = new CommentFilter
 {
 Parent = parent
 },
 PageInfo = new PageInfo
 {
 PageOffset = pageOffset,
 PageSize = pageSize
 }
 };

 // Retrieve the Comments from Episerver Social

 return commentService.Get(

Tips To Prevent Biceps Tears During Deadlifts
| by Truth Seeker |
The deadlift involves the largest muscles in your body – back, hamstrings and glutes. Consequently, you are lifting a lot of weight, which puts stress on the elbows since your arms connect you to the barbell. The combination of heavy weight and an improper technique could result in a bicep tear.
The main reasons for that are:
1.Bending your arms during deadlifts
Your arms are meant to act as hooks when you deadlift. You are not lifting the weight with them. The deadlift is not dependent on arm strength. There are good deadlifters with small arms and yet triple bodyweight deadlifts. Make sure that your arms are straight when you deadlift to avoid biceps tears.
2.The mixed grip
Many people use the mixed grip to hold on to heavy deadlifts. The mechanism is fairly simple. One arm is an underhand grip (palms away from the body), whereas the other is an overhand grip (palms towards the body). Therefore, when the hands start to open, they negate each other's weakness.
Many powerlifters rely on this grip. Yet it is not that safe. Quite often the bicep of the arm pointing away from you (supinated grip) is torn because of the increased tendon/muscle stretch and the uneven position.
Moreover, the mixed grip results in an unbalanced back development and uneven stress on the lower back. It works, obviously, but the downsides are undeniable.
How to prevent biceps tears?
To avoid tears use straps or a hook grip for your work sets. To add some forearm work, do your warm-up sets with regular overhand grip. As you grow stronger, your warm-up weights will increase, and so will the strength of your grip.
The usage of straps or hook grip reduces the possibility of biceps tears because the stretch of the biceps is minimized.
There are many powerlifters such as Bob Peoples and Brad Gillingham who have used the hook grip to fix some of the technical problems associated with the mixed grip as well as to prevent biceps tears.
The hook grip is allowed in powerlifting competitions. The usage of straps, however, is prohibited.

I guess that I left out a crucial point. Snapping an endpoint of a line
to an object can snap it to anywhere on the object. I particularly want
to snap it to the point where if the line were continued it would reach
a particular point inside the object, say the center of a circle. I don't
think that this can be done in Illustrate.
Actually, it can. Try using the following trick. First, draw a
temporary line that ends in the center of the circle and starts at the
appropriate point. Next, draw a second line that follows the first,
clicking MIDDLE once you're near the circle. Finally, delete the first
line you drew.
There are several similar methods for "guiding" your drawings.

1492: The Year the World Began
Felipe Ferńandez-Armesto's contention in 1492: The Year the World Began is that in the titular year events occurred that shaped the global community we live in today. 1492 may seem a date both too distant and too specific to bear the claim of being the year in which the world began to shrink, to experience a convergence of peoples and cultures, but Ferńandez-Armesto presents a fascinating case.
In separate chapters the events of the late 15th century in Europe, Africa, Asia, and America are examined. For Europe, 1492 was the year when "the resources of the Americas began to be accessible to Westerners." The documenting of Atlantic wind patterns that resulted from Columbus's voyages helped change the perception of the globe. In Africa the division of the continent into regions adhering to Christianity or Islam is detailed as having been established in the decades around 1492. Events in Russia, China, India, Japan, and the Americas are also covered. Whether or not Felipe Ferńandez-Armesto convinces with his argument that 1492 was a pivotal year in history, this is a book full of insight into the world and events of the late 15th century.

|Af Chapman (ship)|
The af Chapman in its present form as a youth hostel.
|Career (1888–1915: England

1923: af Chapman
|Owner:||1923–47: Swedish Navy|
|Builder:||Whitehaven Shipbuilding Company|
|Status:||In use as a youth hostel.|
|Type:||Steel sailing vessel|

The af Chapman, formerly the Dunboyne (1888–1915) and the G.D. Kennedy (−1923), is a full-rigged steel ship moored on the western shore of the islet Skeppsholmen in central Stockholm, Sweden, now serving as a youth hostel.
The ship was constructed by the Whitehaven Shipbuilding Company, located in Whitehaven, Cumberland (present-day Cumbria), and launched in February 1888. It was originally known as Dunboyne, after a town in County Meath, Ireland. Its maiden voyage was from Maryport, Cumberland to Portland, Oregon and it subsequently made voyages between Europe, Australia and the west coast of America. On its arrival in Sweden in 1915 it was renamed G. D. Kennedy and when the Swedish Navy bought it in 1923 it was given its present name after the shipbuilder and Vice Admiral Fredrik Henrik af Chapman (1721–1808). The Navy used it as a training ship and as such it made several trips around the world before serving as a barracks during WW2. Its final voyage was in 1934.
In 1947 the Stockholm City Museum saved the ship from being broken up, and since 1949 af Chapman has been managed by the Svenska Turistföreningen (STF, Swedish Tourist Association). It serves as a youth hostel with 285 beds. During 2008 the ship underwent a comprehensive restoration. While the ship was being worked on in a drydock, the adjacent youth hostel Skeppsholmen remained open. Usually, the af Chapman and Skeppsholmen – not to be confused with the islet of the same name, on which both are situated – are run as a single hostel, with the af Chapman offering accommodation and Skeppsholmen housing the reception, a kitchen for guests, and other facilities. The ship is docked on the shore next to the Admiralty House.

Recursion issue

Recursion issue Can't Post
Hi,
I'm having some trouble with a recursive tree searching function. My issue is I'm trying to figure out a way to append the previous nodes name once I've reached a leaf node. Here is an example tree:
Code

a______________
| | |
b c d
|
|_____________
| | | |
e f g g
| | |
h h j
The reason I need to do this is that some nodes in the tree have the same name, but I need a unique identifier for each leaf node. In the above tree My goal is to have the following naming conventions once I reach a leaf node:
a.b
a.c.e
a.c.e.h
a.c.f
a.c.f.g.h
a.c.f.g.j
a.d
With my current code, I have no problem finding the name of the leaf node (in the example it would be nodes b, e ,h, f ,h,d,j). However, this results in a collision since in the example, there are two leaf nodes named "h". In my tree I also have the situations where the branch nodes have the same name. In the above tree, branch "g" appears twice however the leaf node is still unique. Appending the names is proving to be frustrating and not as trivial as I imagined.
Here is how I am trying to approach this (somewhat pseudo code):
Code

my $node_name = "";
&parse_tree($root_node, $node_name);
sub parse_tree {
my ($root_node, $node_name) = $_;
#find sub nodes
my @sub_nodes = $root_node->findnodes;
#basically a check for if sub nodes exists, if they don't then the current node is a leaf node
if(scalar(@sub_nodes) > 0) {
# now go through each sub node
foreach my $sub_node (@sub_nodes) {
#grab the name of node, I don't actually have this written but this will return the name of the current sub node;
$node_name = &get_node_name ($sub_node);
#now do the recursion, here I also export the name of the node, so it can be used later.
&parse_tree($sub_node, $node_name);
}
#reading a leaf node
} else {
print "name: $node_name name\n";
}
}
With the above, the output becomes the names of the leaf nodes (assuming the node names are (a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h) from the above example):
Code

name: b
name: e
name h
name: f
name: h
name: j
name: d
Is there a particular method I need to be using to parse this tree, to get it to output the way I want? I was thinking doing it 'length' wise where I traverse until I reach a leaf node. Once the leaf node is reached go back to the root node and continue parsing. Only issue with this is I would need to keep track of which nodes I have already read. An issue with marking nodes as read is that some nodes are identical (i.e. h, h or g, g) so once I mark one node as "read" it would skip the next one. Another possibility is I need to save the level of the tree I'm in, and always do a comparison with the previous level.
Anyways, writing this recursive function is making me lose my mind, I have spent a long time trying different methods but each method I figure out always has a drawback or case where it will fail. Maybe there is a very easy way of doing this that I am completely missing.
Thanks.

Re: [rietchel] Recursion issue [In reply to] Can't Post
It is difficult to figure out exactly what you want because we don't know the data structure that you use and also we don't know about the methods (find_node, get_node_name) that you invoke.
Also the output that you seem to want does not entirely make sense: for example, why do you have a.c.e and a.c.e.h, but not a.c?
One idea would be to build your string during recursion. As an example, this does something close to what you seem to want:
Code
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
my $tree = [ 'a', [ [ 'b'], [ 'c', [ ['e', 'h'], 'f', ['g', 'h'], ['g', 'j'] ]], [ 'd']]];
sub traverse_tree {
my ($node, $string) = @_;
if (ref $node eq 'ARRAY') {
for my $subnode (@$node) {
$string .= $subnode if ref $subnode ne 'ARRAY';
traverse_tree($subnode, $string);
}
} else {
print "$string\n";
}
}
# print Dumper $tree;
traverse_tree $tree, "";
And this is the output:
Code
$ perl traverse_tree.pl
a
ab
ac
ace
aceh
acf
acfg
acfgh
acfg
acfgj
ad

Re: [rietchel] Recursion issue [In reply to] Can't Post
Recursion can be confusing. It helps to pay as much attention to the design of your data structure as you do to the code. Document its design before you attempt to code. I have included the design spec in the comments of the code. Neither Laurent nor I have reproduced your output exactly because you have not made it clear how to choose the nodes to print (They are all leaves except a.c.e). I print only the 'leaves' of the tree. (Move the print statement out of the if-block if you wish to print every node.)
Code
use strict;
use warnings;
# Data structure is defined recursively.
# TREE is a reference to a node
# NODE is a two element list
# 0: Value
# 1: Ref to an array (possibly empty) of trees.
my $sample_tree = [
'a',
[ [ 'b', [] ],
[ 'c',
[ [ 'e', [ [ 'h', [] ] ] ],
[ 'f', [] ],
[ 'g', [ [ 'h', [] ] ] ],
[ 'g', [ [ 'j', [] ] ] ]
]
],
[ 'd', [] ]
]
];
visit_all_nodes($sample_tree);
exit(0);
sub visit_all_nodes {
# Visit every node in the tree.
# If there are no sub-trees, print the "path" to the current node.
use 5.10.0;
use feature qw(state);
state @path;
my ($value, $ref_to_array_of_sub_trees) = @{shift()};
my $number_of_sub_trees = scalar @$ref_to_array_of_sub_trees;
push @path, $value;
if ( $number_of_sub_trees == 0 ) {
local $" = q(.); print "@{path}\n";
}
else{
visit_all_nodes($_) foreach @$ref_to_array_of_sub_trees;
}
pop @path;
return;
}
OUTPUT:
a.b
a.c.e.h
a.c.f
a.c.g.h
a.c.g.j
a.d
Notes:
The code is formatted with perltidy to make the definition of the tree as clear as possible.
The path is not passed as an argument. The variable @path is a 'state' variable. There is only one copy of it, which is available to every instance of the subroutine, but nowhere else.
The version requirement is to make sure that the state feature is available.
The special variable $" is used to add the periods which you show in your sample output.
Good Luck,
Bill

To Prescribe or Not To Prescribe? Surrogate Decision Making For Life-Enhancing Products
Journal of Consumer Research, vol.
With rapid biotechnological advances in specialty drugs and direct-to-consumer advertising, consumers are under tremendous pressure to look, perform, feel, and live better. This is often accomplished through the use of life-enhancing products, sometimes referred to as performance-enhancing products, which can be accessed only through a gatekeeper, such as a physician. Integrating consumer and medical research, this article investigates how physicians make trade-offs between objective medical and nonmedical factors to determine consumers' access to life-enhancing products by examining US pediatric endocrinologists' prescription decisions for growth hormone (GH) for healthy but short children. The results of a conjoint study indicate that consumer medical criteria have less impact on a physician's decision to prescribe GH if the consumer requests a prescription or the physician believes in the intangible product benefits, and more impact when the product is more expensive. A physician's length of experience increases the impact of consumer medical criteria and decreases the influence of a consumer's preference for a prescription on the decision to prescribe. Overall, this research shows that not all consumers have equal access to life-enhancing products; their access depends on a complex combination of medical and nonmedical factors related to the consumer, product, and the physician.
