Love making best thing to stop mind wandering
People spend nearly half their waking hours thinking about something other than what they are doing, a study revealed today.
Researchers at Harvard University found that people's minds wander on average 46.9 per cent of the time, when they think about things that aren't going on around them.
Participants in the survey, which analysed behaviour recorded on an iPhone web app, said they were distracted no less than 30 per cent of the time during every activity, except making love, when they were more focused than usual.
The research, published in the American journal Science, also showed that mind wandering typically made people unhappy.
People were at their happiest when exercising or engaging in conversation, but least happy when resting, working or using a home computer.
Psychologists Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert, the authors of the study, found that the 2,250 volunteers spent time thinking about past, future and hypothetical events while going about their daily lives.
"Mind-wandering appears ubiquitous across all activities," said Mr Killingsworth, a doctoral student at Harvard. "This study shows that our mental lives are pervaded, to a remarkable degree, by the non-present."
The participants, aged between 18 and 88, were asked to select one of 22 general activities and record how happy they were while doing it, as well as whether they were thinking about their current activity or something else.
Mr Killingsworth said: "A human mind is a wandering mind, and a wandering mind is an unhappy mind. The ability to think about what is not happening is a cognitive achievement that comes at an emotional cost.
"Mind wandering is an excellent predictor of people's happiness.
"In fact, how often our minds leave the present and where they tend to go is a better predictor of our happiness than the activities in which we are engaged."

Adolf Bernhard Christoph Hilgenfeld (2 June 1823 – 12 January 1907) was a German Protestant theologian.
He was born at Stappenbeck near Salzwedel in the Province of Saxony.
He studied at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin and the University of Halle, and in 1890 became professor ordinarius of theology at the University of Jena. He belonged to the Tübingen school. Fond of emphasizing his independence of Ferdinand Christian Baur, he still, in all important points, followed in the footsteps of his master; his method, which he is wont to contrast as Literarkritik with Baur's Tendenzkritik, "is nevertheless essentially the same as Baur's."
On the whole, however, he modified the positions of the founder of the Tübingen school, going beyond him only in his investigations into the Fourth Gospel. In 1858 he became editor of the Zeitschrift für wissenschaftliche Theologie. Hilgenfeld died in Jena in 1907, aged 83.

A Numerical Study of Sub-Millisecond Integrated Mix-and-Inject Microﬂuidic Devices for Sample Delivery at Synchrotron and XFELs
journal contributionposted on 2021-05-03, 01:30 authored by Majid HejazianMajid Hejazian, Eugeniu BalaurEugeniu Balaur, Brian AbbeyBrian Abbey
Microfluidic devices which integrate both rapid mixing and liquid jetting for sample delivery are an emerging solution for studying molecular dynamics via X-ray diffraction. Here we use finite element modelling to investigate the efficiency and time-resolution achievable using microfluidic mixers within the parameter range required for producing stable liquid jets. Three-dimensional simulations, validated by experimental data, are used to determine the velocity and concentration distribution within these devices. The results show that by adopting a serpentine geometry, it is possible to induce chaotic mixing, which effectively reduces the time required to achieve a homogeneous mixture for sample delivery. Further, we investigate the effect of flow rate and the mixer microchannel size on the mixing efficiency and minimum time required for complete mixing of the two solutions whilst maintaining a stable jet. In general, we find that the smaller the cross-sectional area of the mixer microchannel, the shorter the time needed to achieve homogeneous mixing for a given flow rate. The results of these simulations will form the basis for optimised designs enabling the study of molecular dynamics occurring on millisecond timescales using integrated mix-and-inject microfluidic devices.

How to set a computer's date and time
How to set a computer's date and time.
Below is a listing of different methods of how to change the computer's date and time in each of the major operating systems and through the CMOS setup.
Tip: If the computer loses or resets the time and date after it has been off the CMOS battery is bad and needs to be replaced.
The below steps will only allow you to adjust your time zone. If you want to customize your time further we suggest changing the steps from the Windows Desktop, which is the same steps contained in the below Windows Vista and 7 steps.
- From the Start Menu Charms click Settings or press Windows key + I
- In the Desktop settings click More PC settings.
- In PC settings click General
- Click on the Date and Time in the notification area. This is commonly the bottom right-hand corner of the screen (as shown below).
- In the Window that appears click Change date and time settings
- Right-click on the time in your Systray. This is commonly in the bottom right-hand of your screen.
- Click the Adjust Date/Time menu item.
- This will open the Date/Time Properties window. In this window you can adjust the time, date, and time zone. If you wish to change how the computer handles daylight savings, click the Time Zone tab and check or uncheck the 'Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes' option.
- Once the proper date and time has been set, click Apply and then Ok.
Tip: You may also double-click the time to open the Date/Time Properties window.
- Enter the CMOS setup.
- In the main or system setup screen you should be able to see the date and time. Using your arrow keys, navigate to the date and change the date. Once highlighted on the month, day, or year, press your arrow keys or your page up
or page down keys to change the date.
These steps may vary for your BIOS; additional help, information, and simulations can be found on the BIOS help page. You can also change the date and time by following the steps for your operating system below.
Setting the date through MS-DOS can be done by using the date command. Additional information and help with this command can be found on the date command page.
To adjust the time while in MS-DOS use the time command. Additional information about this command can be found on the time command page.
Use the date command to set the date and time. See the date command page for further information and examples of how to do this.
- Open the Apple Menu
- Open the Control Panels
- Open Date & Time
- Within the Date & Time window you will be able to set the date, time, time zone, and change the network time server.

Microsoft's recommendation for troubleshooting SMTP and POP on an Exchange Server is to use protocol logs. However, logging can waste time and disk space as the logs accumulate. If you send a test message, you must go through all your logged email messages to find the message. In addition, opening the message is often time-consuming.
An alternative method I use for monitoring my Exchange server is to open Exchange System Manager (ESM) and navigate to the server that hosts the SMTP virtual server. Then, I highlight Current Sessions and hold down the F5 key. SMTP and POP connections display in the right-hand window.

This is the second homework blog posting... Did you already complete the post on Gamma Rays and Dysfunctional Families?
It is due before class starts on Monday, Dec. 15
In The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, Tillie conducts an unusual science project. She subjects three different batches of marigolds to the potentially damaging effects of gamma rays - a topic we addressed in a previous blog post. But why did the play's author, Paul Zindel, choose marigolds as the flower to use in the science experiment? Click on the following links and please read the information on marigolds at wikipedia and this information on growing marigolds.
Do not concern yourself with the all the Latin terms or varieties, but focus on the specific characteristics of the flower... Then post your ideas about the use of marigolds as a symbol in the story. What makes marigolds unique? What do they need to survive? When do marigolds bloom? How might the characteristics or qualities of this particular flower be a symbol that connects to important ideas in the play? Why might have Zindel used marigolds as the flower?

How to Access Steam Screenshot Folder
0
624
Steam is an online PC gaming service that has more than 37000 games. If you know it and if you are a gamer, you might be enjoying it. But it could be more fun if you share your achievements of games on social media as screenshots. If you are the kind of person who loves to share steam screenshots, then this article is for you.
Here it is worth mentioning that the Steam Content File Locked issue is not related to the Steam Screenshot folder. This article helps you to know how to access the steam screenshot folder.
How to Access Steam Screenshot Folder
Accessing the screenshot is not a difficult task. This can be done by using two ways. The first way is, using the screenshot manager in steam, and the other way is accessing the screenshot using a hard drive. The first method is really easy, and if you want to access the screenshot using the second method, you need to know the proper location of your steam files. Now, let us see the two methods to access the screenshot on Steam Games.
Method 1: Screenshot Manager
Steam games store all the screenshots that you took while playing. You can access your screenshots using screenshot manager by following the below steps.
Step 1: Go to the home of steam games.
Step 2: Next, on the top left, you can see some options. You need to click on the view option.
Step 3: Now, the drop-down menu will appear, and you have to select screenshots.
Now, you can see the list of screenshots that you took. You can upload or delete a particular screenshot. You can access the screenshots using the hard drive directly by clicking on the show on disc option.
Method 2: Accessing the Screenshot folder physically
If the easy first method didn't work for you, then you need to follow this second method. The screenshots that you took will also be stored on the hard disc physically. To access the screenshots physically on the hard drive, you need to go to the steam folder where it is installed. If you didn't select the installation folder manually, then it will be installed by default on the C drive.
The path to access your screenshots folder is:
C->Program files(x86)->Steam->user data-> your steam ID->760->remote->app ID->screenshots.
By following the above path, you can access your screenshots on your hard drive physically. By the way, if you don't know your steam ID, then you can get it by going to steam and clicking on settings. In settings, you need to select the interface option, and you need to check the box which shows the display steam URL address when available.
Now you have to head over to your steam profile and click on view profile. The number located at the end of the URL is your steam ID.
Conclusion
Gaming is more joyful and enjoyable when you share the game with your friends. Screenshots are one way to share the games and your achievements. They help you in storing your highest records as a memory. So if you have any problems accessing the screenshots on steam games, then I really hope this article has helped you. Firstly, try the first method as it is much easier than the second method and then go for the second method.

How to convert binary format bytes into PDF via parasoft tool.
NeilNeil Posts: 38
Hello,
I am using parasoft SOA test 9.9 .
I want to know how to convert binary bytes to PDF format via Parasoft SOA test tool.
Is there any Add-in or extension tool to convert binary bytes into PDF and view the same via browser.

 Can you clarify what you mean by "convert binary bytes into PDF"? A PDF is a binary file format (not a text format). What do these bytes represent such that you think they need to be converted in some way? How are you using these bytes in your test suite and where do they come from? After you have the pdf content converted from your "binary bytes", what do you want to do with it? Do you want to write the PDF content to a file, send it somewhere, or something else? Or are you saying the "binary bytes" are the PDF content but you just don't know how to write it out to disk?

 Hello Benken,
 I am getting a xml kind of data in response , I want to write the content to a file.
 I am attaching the response screen shot.
 question:
 -for some reason I was not able to copy the content in response traffic manually.
 - I tried to extract it to data, but still I was not able to extract to data bank.
 thanks,
 suhas
 - benken_parasoftbenken_parasoft Posts: 658 ✭✭✭
 It looks like your response is a PDF. To write the response message to a file, just chain a Write File tool to the Response output of your test.

Noble Houses
Of the many noble houses throughout the Known Worlds, five have achieved prominence and effectively rule most of Human Space — under their new Emperor, of course. The Emperor Wars took a toll on many of these houses: the losers now struggle to regain lost lands or power, while the victors fight to ensure that their rivals stay down.
The life of a noble is not the leisurely idyll one might expect: there are fiefs to manage, rivals to crush and wars to wage. While there is much power to be gained, there is always the risk of humiliation or loss of holdings and position. It is no wonder that they know how to party: their gala affairs are lavish and awe-inspiring — but also rife with intrigue, innuendo, back-stabbing and even sword dueling. To escape such pressures, noble sons and daughters often take to the stars with only a small entourage of friends and retainers, to better know the worlds they wish to one day rule.
The five major houses (called the Royal Houses) are:

An anvil hanging vertically from a long rope in a barn is pulled to the side and raised like a pendulum 1.6 m above its equilibrium position. It then swings to its lowermost point where the rope is cut by a sharp blade. The anvil then has a horizontal velocity with which it sails across the barn and hits the floor, 10.0 m below. How far horizontally along the floor will the anvil land? "
m g h = potential energy at top = U = m (9.8)(1.6)
Ke at bottom = U at top =.5 m u^2
1.6*9.8 =.5 u^2
calculate u, the horizontal velocity from that
Now get time in the air from the falling problem
10 =.5 * 9.8 * t^2
so calculate t from that

Swagelining is a rehabilitation process for the renewal of pressure and non-pressure pipelines in water, sewer and industrial applications. The process is ideally suited where techniques such as open trench are either more expensive, or cause public and environmental disruption. Innopipe had complete many Swagelining pressure pipeline under WSD's Replacement and Rehabilitation projects in Hong Kong SAR.
The Swagelining system uses polyethylene (PE) pipe, which has an outside diameter slightly larger than the pipe to be rehabilitated. After sections of PE pipe are butt fused together to form a continuous string, the PE pipe is pulled through a reducing dye to temporarily reduces the diameter of the pipe. This allows the PE pipe to be pulled through the host pipe. Following insertion, the pulling force is removed, allowing the PE pipe to return toward its original diameter until it tightly fits against the wall of the host pipe.
Swagelining can be used to install a thin wall liner as a corrosion or abrasion barrier such as in slurry pipelines, or can be used to install a stand-alone structural liner for high pressure water pipelines. Swagelining is suitable for lining pipe sizes from 100mm up to 1500mm and able to rehabilitate >1000m in each insertion subject to site condition. Due to the excellent flow characteristics of PE pipe as well as the minimal loss of pipe diameter, loss of hydraulic capacity is minimal using this technology.

Today is the decoration, many people will have their own family decoration, especially the wall decoration is more attentive, the wall is beautiful, after all, it will bring people different experience, so many people will choose diatom mud paint, diatom mud quality also has good and bad, however, how to choose good diatom mud? Jinan tooling decoration company will take you to know!
From the color of diatom mud
Jinan mold company believes that the main component of diatomite is diatomite, which is natural and environmentally friendly, non-toxic and harmless, but has a single color. The colorful diatomite products on the market are all processed by later factories with pigments.
Some manufacturers use inferior pigments to reduce costs. Diatom mud looks brighter and more colorful than natural pigments, but because it contains toxic substances such as heavy metals, long-term use will cause harm to human body, and the color will be changed soon after the color is kept for a short time. The diatom mud made of natural pigment is soft in color and even in use. After coating, the eyes look comfortable without uncomfortable feeling. Diatom mud uses natural inorganic pigment, safe and environmental protection, non-toxic and harmless!
2. High temperature resistance of diatom mud
Diatom mud has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and non combustion, which can not be ignited by fire in daily life, and has good heat insulation performance.
3. Water absorption from diatom mud
Jinan mold company believes that because of the porous structure of diatomite, which is more than 6000 times of the ultra-fine pore of activated carbon, diatomite mud can not only absorb formaldehyde in the air, but also has a strong water absorption. Good diatomite mud can spray water 20 times at the same location without dropping water, and it will not fade or fall with hands.
But the inferior diatom mud, as long as sprays on several times will have the moisture to drop, the water absorption is not good, with the hand touch will drop the powder to fade. The adsorption capacity of diatom mud is stronger than that of general diatom mud, of course, the water absorption capacity is also stronger.
4. It feels like it comes from diatom mud
Due to the characteristics of diatom mud itself, the painted wall can be a gentle feeling. It is very loose to touch with hands, and the feeling we like. Our commonly used cork of thermos bottle is delicate and comfortable, and the design is smooth and smooth.
And some poor diatom mud because it is mixed with many other impurities, it gives a cold feeling, rough hands feel very uncomfortable, the formation of patterns is also very fuzzy.
5. Taste of diatom mud
Diatomite is made of natural diatomite. It has only fresh soil and no pungent smell. When you choose to buy, you can take a small number of samples and put them into water for mixing. If you can smell the pungent smell, the quality will be very poor.
The above is the selection skills of the diatom mud in Jinan tooling decoration company. Through the introduction of this article, we must have a certain understanding of the diatom mud. In addition, we remind you that diatom mud will easily deform, so the wall is dirty. Do not scrub it with wet cloth. If there is much dust on the wall, you can flick the wall with feather duster. If there is any fingerprint, you can wipe it with eraser.

The Wayfinder can be shown in either landscape or portrait mode. In most cases, it will automatically detect the orientation of the device and adapt the Wayfinder to the current orientation. There are a couple of devices where the orientation needs to be set in order to let GoBright now the correct orientation.
Change the device orientation
In order to change the settings on the device, we'll need to exit kiosk mode using the three magic swipe movements and the pincode within the Wayfinder display profile. When the settings on the device can be accessed navigate through the following menus and options:
- Go to the Settings
- Select the Display option
Depending on the device there are a couple of different options here, we'll cover the most general ones:
- When device is rotated:
This defaults to 'Rotate the contents of the screen' but can be set to the current orientation using the 'Stay in current orientation option'
This defaults to 'Auto' / 'Automatically' / 'Auto-detect' or something that is similar to one of these. The other options are 'landscape' / 'portrait' / 'landscape-flipped' / 'portrait-flipped' which can be set to the correct orientation.
There are likely other options which are named differently than the ones here, consult the manual of the device if you need further support with the orientation.

MFS file extension - MetFS encrypted FUSE based filesystem
What is mfs file? How to open mfs files?
File type specification:
Encoded and encrypted file type icon Encoded and encrypted file type
The mfs file extension is associated with the MetFS, a software system for establishing and maintaining an encrypted FUSE (fuse.sf.net) based filesystem available for Microsoft Windows operating system.
The mfs file stores stores some kind of data for MetFS.
The default software associated to open mfs file:

MetFS is a filesystem software in userspace that is FUSE based, encrypted, dynamic sized (increase when new data added, decrease when data removed), single file when it's unmounted and very fast. MetFS 's been written in C language for performance reasons; proved to be running on Linux and FreeBSD.
Help how to open:
This file type is not meant to be opened directly, there is no software that could open and work with it directly, or there is no information available in public sources about opening this file type. This is usually the case of some internal data files, caches, temporary files etc.
How to convert:
As far as we know, this .mfs file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.

text: KentuckyFC writes "Arbitrage is a way of making profit by exploiting price differences for the same asset. In capital markets, traders aggressively seek out and exploit these market 'inefficiencies.' Now one data scientist says it's possible to do the same with metro fares and has studied the fare-arbitrage potential of San Francisco's subway system, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). The idea is to swap tickets with another commuter during your journey to reduce the amount you both pay. BART has 44 stations which allows 946 different journeys and 446,985 unique pairs of trips. Of these, over 60,000 have arbitrage potential and commuters can save at least $1 on 4,666 of them. But there are good reasons why cities might want to maintain price differences for certain journeys — to encourage people to live in certain areas, for example. What's more, it's possible to imagine a pair of commuters who each travel from one side of a city to the other at considerable cost. But by swapping tickets in the city center, they could both pay for a short commute in each others' suburbs. But is that fair to other commuters?"

Generally, a local administrative unit (LAU) is an area of governmental administration below a province, region, state or other major national subdivision. Not all countries will use this term, but it can be descriptively applied anywhere.
Specifically, in the European Union (EU), LAUs are basic components of Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) regions. Two levels of Local Administrative Units (LAU) have been defined. The upper LAU level (LAU level 1, formerly NUTS level 4) is defined only for the following countries: Finland, Germany Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and the United Kingdom. The second LAU level (formerly NUTS level 5) consists of 95,152 municipalities or equivalent units in the 15 EU Member States (2003 situation).

PVC Activity Suggestions
Facilitator Instructions
1. Create a list of scenarios that your participants may encounter in life and/ or on the program (i.e. "Going on family vacation", "Completing a group project", "Participating in this program")
2. Make three big signs, one each for Prisoner, Vacationer, Leader. Place the signs on three different walls of your program space (or on the floor or ground, depending on space available)
3. Begin the activity by reviewing the PVC model with the participants (using the model displayed on a flipchart or PowerPoint slide). Ask participants to tell you what a mindset is, discuss the meaning of mindset and some common mindsets. Review the PVC model after they understand the meaning of 'mindset'.
4. One at a time, read out your list of prompts and have participants move to the sign that depicts their mindset in each scenario.
5. Once the participants have moved to a sign, you may choose to have them discuss their mindset with the others at that station, or explain their mindset to a group at a different station.
6. You may wish to ask participants what it would take for them to change their mindset in particular situations. Is it possible to change ones mindset in challenging situations? Why or why not?


thetaTM: Trimmed mean estimator
Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples
View source: R/thetaTM.R
Description
Estimate the shape parameter of a Pareto distribution using a trimmed mean approach.
Usage
1
thetaTM(x, k = NULL, x0 = NULL, beta = 0.05)
Arguments
x
a numeric vector.
k
the number of observations in the upper tail to which the Pareto distribution is fitted.
x0
the threshold (scale parameter) above which the Pareto distribution is fitted.
beta
A numeric vector of length two giving the trimming proportions for the lower and upper end of the tail, respectively. If a single numeric value is supplied, it is recycled.
Details
The arguments k and x0 of course correspond with each other. If k is supplied, the threshold x0 is estimated with the n - k largest value in x, where n is the number of observations. On the other hand, if the threshold x0 is supplied, k is given by the number of observations in x larger than x0. Therefore, either k or x0 needs to be supplied. If both are supplied, only k is used (mainly for back compatibility).
Value
The estimated shape parameter.
Note
The argument x0 for the threshold (scale parameter) of the Pareto distribution was introduced in version 0.2.

Calibration - Transmission
Evaluate & Calibrate
Steady results in solving all calibration tasks require modern software tools that meet the complexity of the tasks and applications. During their usage within the development process, those tools have to meet requirements like data quality, reproducibility, stability and safety.
The aspired and necessary efficiency of calibration workflows demands permanent derivatives of methods. AVL has a long-time experience and is leading in the development of high-performance tools and methods in XCU calibration. Our aim is to provide a complete workflow for each single calibration task. A significant increase in efficiency when using AVL calibration software has been proved in worldwide practical usage.
Benefits at a Glance
- Software tools to support development engineers during the entire calibration workflow
- The complex influences of XCU parameters are easier to manage
- Models can be reused throughout the different stages of the development process
- Full utilization of the test facility due to intelligent test runs – even in unmanned 24-hour operation
- Tools are supported and maintained on a global scale (roll-out capability for test facilities and different locations)
- Development focus on calibration tasks instead of on the development of calibration tools

You'll need to put one picture on top of another at some point in your design career. You can do many different things, like adding effects, making composite photographs, using multiple exposures, and creating collages.
To do this, first, you must determine which picture you want to put on your base image. Then you can place the foreground picture by simply dragging it from another location onto your Photoshop work. You can also use the Copy and Paste functions to do this.
Keep reading below for more information.
How To Put One Picture On Top Of Another In Photoshop
You can put one picture on top of another in Photoshop by following the simple steps in this section.
For more information on this topic, watch the video below:
Step 1: Select Your Pictures
Depending on how precise you need to be with the fine-tuning, this can take a while. But the majority of the time, it goes quite quickly.
The hardest part, in my opinion, is choosing the ideal image for the overlay. It becomes more difficult as you try to visualize putting numerous photos on top of one another. However, this approach is innovative and enjoyable because of the almost limitless possibilities!
Step 2: Add the Top Image
- Open Photoshop and begin with your background image.
- You can accomplish this in a few different ways. Pick up the overlay picture and place it right on top of the underlying image (from a folder or another location). It'll appear as a fresh layer.
- The overlay picture may also be opened in Photoshop independently. To copy a picture, use Control + C (Command + C) after selecting the whole image with Control + A (Command + A). To paste it, return to the base picture and press Control + V (Command + V). It will once again appear as a new layer.
This technique proves to be quite useful when you simply want to use a portion of the overlay picture.
Step 3: Choose a Blending Mode
The current result obviously won't work, as the upper layer entirely obscures the image underneath. One of Photoshop's 27 blending modes may be used to combine the two images seamlessly.
- To set the blending mode, choose the top layer and select the box (which shows Normal by default).
Knowing how every one of the blending modes in the menu that will display works is a complicated subject that is outside the scope of this tutorial. Photoshop will provide a preview when you hover your cursor over each type to get an idea of how it operates.
- For this tutorial, we will choose Screen. With this blending setting, the image's brightest areas are preserved while its darkest areas are blurred.
Step 4: Resize and Position
If the actual picture is larger than the overlay, you need to enlarge it since you want it to fill the entire image. Occasionally, you might want it only partially to cover the original image. The procedure is the same, regardless of your requirements.
- Press Control + T (Command + T) to launch the Transform tool while the top layer is chosen. The layer will be surrounded by a box with squares in each corner. To alter the size of certain boxes, click and drag them.
- Additionally, you may flip a picture horizontally or vertically by right-clicking on it and choosing the relevant option.
Step 5: Edit the Picture
You can make a few modifications in case the top layer is a touch-distracting.
- Start by removing the overlay from some of the image's areas. This will serve to bring the viewer's attention to the subject rather than distract from it.
- To do this, you must make a mask and remove the top parts from the desired areas with a brush. Click the "mask" option at the end of the Layers panel while the top layer is chosen. The top layer will then show a white mask.
- You may choose a brush by pressing B on the keyboard or choosing the Brush tool from the toolbox on the left.
- You can now use black as the foreground color when painting over the regions where you wish to take the overlay off. Gently remove the most distracting portions of the top layer since you don't want to remove too much of it or it will appear out of place.
- The effect could, however, be a little too intense. In that case, reduce the layer's opacity by altering the percentage in the opacity box to correct it.
- For this tutorial, we recommend you set it to 65%.
- Add a final touch by slightly modifying the color to resemble the original image. Select the adjustment layer button at the end of the Layers panel. It looks like a circle that is just partially filled. Next, select Hue/Saturation.
- Clip the adjustment layer to the overlay layer in the window that appears. This will instruct Photoshop only to make the alterations to the picture that is on top. Then tweak the hue, saturation, and lightness sliders until you arrive at a design you prefer.
And there we go. This tutorial showed how you can put one picture on top of another in Photoshop and even blend them. It's a simple skill that you must learn if you want to create amazing designs. Happy editing!

Binding Images to GridView from a Folder where image info defined in Text file
Today, in this post I am going to post binding images from folders where the image file names are mentioned in the text file. The text file contains list of file names with the path which is stored. It also contains image urls which is accessible from internet/internet.
There are two different scenarios I am taking to implement considering the image path stores in a text file. They are –
 1. There is a text file stored in application which contains list of file name with path. The application required to fetch the file name from the text file and bind the imaged to the GridView.
 2. Same as above post, but addition to this the text file also contains some information about each image (Ex: Title of the Image, Description). So when showing images, the system also needs to show the information about the images.
The implementation of the first scenario is follows:
The Text file contains list of image file name with path, full Image url which can be accessible by http/https.

The implementation of the second scenario is follows:
The text file contains not only the image file name with path (or url), it also contains Title of the image and some description of each image. Our requirement is to show list of image in the ASP.NET page with the information provided in the text file for each image.

[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/7] blkio-cgroup: Introduction
Hi all,
This is a new release of blkio-cgroup which provides an IO tracking
mechanism. You can also download this series of patches from
Changes from the previous release
- bio-cgroup renamed to blkio-cgroup.
- Use part of page_cgroup->flags to store the blkio-cgroup ID.
 This code is taken from Andrea's io-throttle.
- Add a new function blkio_cgroup_lookup(ID) which can be called from
 other cgroup subsystems and return the cgroup associated with a
 given blkio-cgroup ID. It makes it easy to use blkio-cgroup from other
 cgroup subsystems.
- Add an extra patch which reduces the overhead of IO tracking.
- Can be applied to 2.6.30-rc3 and 2.6.30-rc3-git3.
What's blkio-cgroup all about?
With this feature, you can determine the owners of any type of
I/Os. This makes dm-ioband_--_I/O_bandwidth_controller_-- be able to
control the Block I/O bandwidths even when it accepts delayed write
requests. Dm-ioband can find the owner cgroup of each request. It is
also possible that the other people who work on the I/O bandwidth
throttling use this functionality to control asynchronous I/Os with a
little enhancement.
Setting up blkio-cgroup
You have to apply the patch dm-ioband before applying this series of
blkio-cgroup patches.
And you have to select the following config options when compiling
And I recommend you should also select the options for cgroup memory
subsystem, because it makes it possible to give some I/O bandwidth and
some memory to a certain cgroup to control delayed write requests and
the processes in the cgroup will be able to make pages dirty only
inside the cgroup even when the given bandwidth is narrow.
Using blkio-cgroup
The following shows how to use dm-ioband with cgroups. Please assume
that you want make two cgroups, which we call "bio cgroup" here, to
track down block I/Os and assign them to ioband device "ioband1".
First, mount the bio cgroup filesystem.
 # mount -t cgroup -o blkio none /cgroup
Then, make new bio cgroups and put some processes in them.
 # mkdir /cgroup/grp1
 # mkdir /cgroup/grp2
 # echo 1234 > /cgroup/grp1/tasks
 # echo 5678 > /cgroup/grp2/tasks
Now, check the ID of each blkio cgroup which is just created.
 # cat /cgroup/grp1/blkio.id
 # cat /cgroup/grp2/blkio.id
Finally, attach the cgroups to "ioband1" and assign them weights.
 # dmsetup message ioband1 0 type cgroup
 # dmsetup message ioband1 0 attach 2
 # dmsetup message ioband1 0 attach 3
 # dmsetup message ioband1 0 weight 2:30
 # dmsetup message ioband1 0 weight 3:60


. For that, an underlying surface should me made a parent of the Mesh Clutter node. (If there are some nodes in the hierarchy between a terrain or mesh node and Mesh Clutter, intersections will still be checked.)
A parent for intersection can only be a terrain or a mesh object. The mesh should be terrain-like, i.e. it should have only one surface vertically, along the Z coordinate.
Mesh Clutter performs only one vertical intersection testing with parent mesh geometry. If there are surfaces underneath the upper surface, they will be ignored. For example, to scatter reference nodes across the whole sphere, two hemisphere meshes need to be used.
Intersection After the Intersection box is checked, objects will be scattered across the surface of the parent object.
 - It does not matter if the Mesh Clutter is bigger than the parent object in size - the scattering area will be still be limited to parent object surfaces.
Orientation This option allows to set a parent surface normal vector as the initial orientation for scattered objects. It means, if the surface in some place is vertical, the up direction for objects over will be actually pointing to the side.
 - They can be still randomly rotated but relative the orientation of the parent normal.
 - This parameter is enabled only if Intersection option is checked.
Angle Just like in the case with grass, the scattering can take into account how steep the slope is.
 - By the minimum value of 0, it makes no difference how flat or how tilted the surface over which the Clutter objects are scattered.
 - The bigger the value is, the flatter the place should be for objects to be scattered over it. As the value increases, at first steep slopes are ignored and then flatter ones become bare.
 - By the maximum value of 1, the objects can be scattered only over perfectly horizontal surface.
 - This parameter is enabled only if Intersection option is checked.

Creative Ideas For Data Presentation
Home > Presentation of Data Page> Creative Data Presentation
Throw away your excel sheets and PowerPoint files for your next data presentation. Engage your audience and capture their imagination using these 3 simple and creative ways to present data.
1. Make your data tangible for your audience:
We saw a marketing manager of sporting goods manufacturing company use this idea effectively. He threw a ping pong ball to the participants and said that the ball represented their market share in sporting goods segment. Then he threw a basket ball and said that it represented the market share of their main competitor.
When he kept the two balls side by side, the difference in magnitude became quickly apparent to the audience. No numerical data would have created a better realization in the audience's mind than that demonstration.
If you looking to open your presentation with data, you can read more about it here.
How can you make your audience touch and feel the data in your next presentation?
2. Make people a part of your data presentation:
I saw a highly involving presentation made by the CEO of an NGO that supported orphans. The audience had people from various corporates and the presentation was to raise funds for the organization.
All through the presentation the presenter involved young children to represent data. For example, she invited 3 children to come up on stage and stand in a row. She asked the first one to sit down and the third one to raise hands. She said, "These children represent the growth of our NGO in the last three years. Our children are able to live better and reach higher because of your support. I want your help to make them reach higher next year "
This helped her not only to talk about her organization but also to strike an emotional chord with the audience.
How can you involve people in your next presentation?
3. Make the audience build your point:
In one of the budget meetings, I heard a senior manager employ this method effectively. While he allocated budgets to various departments based on their profitability, some department heads insisted on more budgets for their functions.
He invited everyone to do a small activity. He asked them to tear an A4 sheet paper in two halves. He then asked them to tear one of the halves in two. He took the small piece of paper to scoop some toffees from a jar on his table. He then used the bigger piece of paper to scoop toffees. Naturally, he could scoop more toffees with the bigger piece.
He finished by saying," If the pieces of paper represent the share of profits brought in by a function and the toffee jar represents the funds we have. The goodies you get depend on the size of your sheet."
He didn't have to say anything else after that and the message was clear.
There are many ways to make your point using simple demonstrations, if you put your mind to it.
What can you come up with for your next presentation?
Rules for creative data presentation:
The activities you select need to follow these 2 critical rules to be successful:
- It should be made for a key point only. Such activities can be very powerful. So if you use it for an insignificant point, your audience will remember your presentation for the wrong reason.
- The conclusion should be clear to the last person in your audience. If it involves a long explanation to be understood, then avoid it.
Remember, a data presentation can be memorable or boring depending on the way you want to lend meaning to numbers. Take the time to make your audience relate to your numbers. It is worth the effort.

ALCOHOL MONITOR is a variant of RHOTEC or SONATEC and allows measuring the content of alcohol (ethanol) in a mixture of water and ethanol. The alcohol measurement is done during the production of beer and beer-based mixed drinks.
ALCOHOL MONITOR used the functionality of either RHOTEC (density measurement) or SONATEC (sound velocity measurement). The instrument is designed for applications requiring maximum sensitivity and highest accuracy. It is easy to operate and maintenance-free. For density measurement the liquid flows through a thin U-shaped tube inside the sensor. Using electromagnets, the tube is excited to oscillate at the resonant frequency. At the same time, an integrated reference oscillator measures the oscillation characteristics. Even the smallest changes in fluid density have an impact on the detected signal and are identified with highest precision. For sound velocity measurement a sound pulse is created by a piezo-element in a sonic transmitter. It moves perpendicular to the product flow towards a sonic receiver where it is detected. Since the distance between transmitter and receiver is known, the sound velocity can easily be calculated by measuring the travel time of the sonic signal. As a specific property of each liquid, the correlation between concentration and density resp. sound velocity can be described by a mathematical polynomial. With decades of experience and our own laboratory facilities, Centec know the polynomials for a large number of products. Any temperature drifts of the measured signal are automatically compensated for by an internal Pt1000 sensor.

You are here: McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind > Publications > How Live Music Moves Us: Head Movement Differences in Audiences to Live Versus Recorded Music
Dana Swarbrick, Dan Bosnyak, Steven R Livingston, Jotthi Bansal, Susan Marsh Rollo, Matthew H Woolhouse, and Laurel J Trainor (2019)
Frontiers in Psychology, 9(2682).
A live music concert is a pleasurable social event that is among the most visceral and memorable forms of musical engagement. But what inspires listeners to attend concerts, sometimes at great expense, when they could listen to recordings at home? An iconic aspect of popular concerts is engaging with other audience members through moving to the music. Head movements, in particular, reflect emotion and have social consequences when experienced with others. Previous studies have explored the affiliative social engagement experienced among people moving together to music. But live concerts have other features that might also be important, such as that during a live performance the music unfolds in a unique and not predetermined way, potentially increasing anticipation and feelings of involvement for the audience. Being in the same space as the musicians might also be exciting. Here we controlled for simply being in an audience to examine whether factors inherent to live performance contribute to the concert experience. We used motion capture to compare head movement responses at a live album release concert featuring Canadian rock star Ian Fletcher Thornley, and at a concert without the performers where the same songs were played from the recorded album. We also examined effects of a prior connection with the performers by comparing fans and neutral-listeners, while controlling for familiarity with the songs, as the album had not yet been released. Head movements were faster during the live concert than the album-playback concert. Self-reported fans moved faster and exhibited greater levels of rhythmic entrainment than neutral-listeners. These results indicate that live music engages listeners to a greater extent than pre-recorded music and that a pre-existing admiration for the performers also leads to higher engagement.

Load Balancing SQL with NetScaler
Scaling the Data Tier with Citrix NetScaler DataStream Technology
Native support and intelligence of SQL transactions is the key to extending the scalability, availability, and security benefits that the ADC brings to the web tier to the data tier, as noted in Sunil Potti's blog. Similar to the benefits of HTTP load balancing, a data tier load balancer should provide these key benefits:
 - A native SQL proxy like solution to perform SQL connection management and offload for database scale up scenarios to increase SQL connection limit.
 - A TDS protocol and SQL transaction intelligent load balancer that can accurately monitor backend server status including slave replication backlog to
 optimally distribute load in database scale out setups.
 - High Availability that can address both Master/Master and Master/Slave replication deployments to complete the database scaling solution. Both scaling approaches also need advanced, clustering-like automated IP failover for lower cost high availability with commodity hardware.
 - Database security encompassing transaction activity logging tied to user logins for compliance purposes to be generated from a central location to
 simplify record management.
NetScaler DataStream Technology
Leveraging its expertise in web applications, NetScaler with DataStream technology is the first ADC that justifiably addresses data tier challenges.
With DataStream technology, NetScaler introduces the industry's first "true" load balancer for data that offers native SQL protocol, data format and
transaction support for scaling database infrastructures. Structured Query Language (SQL) which is the de-facto data format, TDS (Tabular Data Stream) and Oracle MySQL, protocols that are widely deployed, are natively parsed and interpreted in NetScaler's high speed processing engine, providing all of the
advance policy framework available to act on data connections and transactions. Applying all of the same HTTP acceleration technologies to SQL, NetScaler is able to provide the same benefits to the data tier, such as SQL Connection Multiplexing, SQL Load Balancing, SQL Content Switching, SQL Health Monitoring, Automated Failover and Security.
SQL connection multiplexing: NetScaler's SQL transaction intelligence enables NetScaler to act as a SQL proxy and terminate SQL connections from both
client and server. Client to server connection multiplexing ratios of 50:1 or more is achievable depending on the application, number of unique database user
logins and character sets in use. SQL Load balancing: Armed with SQL transaction awareness, NetScaler can switch one client's many SQL transactions in a single TCP connection to several different servers. This delivers more optimal load balancing of SQL traffic since the load distribution is more granular when compared to a TCP load balancer.
 - SQL Content switching (read/write split): NetScaler can interpret SQL transactions and decipher between "select", "drop", "insert", "update" and other SQL statements and perform a split between read and write transactions. Splitting the reads and writes simplifies application server deployments by offloading the decision making and policy enforcement to NetScaler.
 - SQL Health monitoring: NetScaler intelligently load balances SQL requests, by selecting the database server that will return up-to-date data the fastest at the time of the request and sending the read request to only that server.
 - Automated IP failover: NetScaler's Virtual IP address solution is based on automated IP failover implementation where the virtual IP is assigned to the master node is switched over to the secondary node upon detection of heartbeat/monitor failure.
 - Security: NetScaler can apply granular user access policies to each database user. It also provides a consolidated log of all SQL transactions and user
 accesses for complete visibility, without taxing the database server. SQL protocol validation is also available with advanced Policy Infrastructure (PI)
 regular expressions.
As the industry's first SQL aware load balancing solution, NetScaler addresses the scaling and availability needs of the data tier, leveraging its
HTTP ADC technology for the web tier. NetScaler's SQL connection multiplexing scales connection limits for database scale up, native SQL load balancing
optimizes database scale-out, SQL transaction logs simplifies database security and replication aware monitors with Virtual IP based failover enables
cost-effective high-availability.
Combine SQL with Netscaler and you have a perfect match =o)

points on curve secp256k1 form a group E(Fp) over field Fp.
p = 2^256 - 2^32 - 2^9 - 2^8 - 2^7 - 2^6 - 2^4 - 1 is prime.
n is the order of group E, n=115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337
Is n prime too?
Is E(Fp) a cyclic group?
Theorem. Working over a finite field, the group of points E(Fp) is always either a cyclic group or the product of two cyclic groups.
 - n has to be a prime such that (Gx, Gy) * n = slope is infinity. Hopefully someone can answer the other part – Wizard Of Ozzie Jun 21 '15 at 0:34
The comment stating n "has to be prime" is a bit confusing.
The order of base point "has" to be prime in the sense that this is a requirement in the particular documents defining standard curves—for example, in SECG, which includes secp256k1. Bitcoin's base point order r is prime.
In SECG, it is also stated that cofactor of secp256k1 curve is 1, which makes n = r × 1, again prime. A group of prime order is obviously cyclic.
 - Thank you for your answer! So E(K) is a cyclic group, r = n is prime and then each element of E(K)* has order n --> each element could have been the base point. Is there a reason SEC chose G = 02 79BE667E F9DCBBAC 55A06295 CE870B07 029BFCDB 2DCE28D9 59F2815B 16F81798 as base point? – arulbero Jun 21 '15 at 6:37
 - _USER_ re SEC defined G: great question. Anyone know why? Why not start at x=0? – Wizard Of Ozzie Jun 21 '15 at 14:17
 - _USER_ Of Ozzie The point "O" is the only one that cannot be chosen, because order of O is 1. To generate safely a public key starting from G, G's order must be a prime number, as large as possible; in our case each element except O has the same order, n. – arulbero Jun 21 '15 at 17:42
 - 1
 _USER_@arulbero It's likely the base points in SECG were chosen randomly. It's also likely that this had led to some controversy since then. References are not very easy to locate, sorry. – akater Jun 22 '15 at 18:22

When I cook things, such as scallop and salmon, I found that the food may be more tender if I wait till the water boils (at 100 C) and immediately turn the fire lower so that the water is not bubbling in the cook pot and maintain the fire at this level. But I noticed that at this point, there is more steam coming out of the water surface and the steam is far more visible than before.
I think I even test to see if there are in fact more steam by putting the my palm about 12 inches above the cook pot, and verified that in fact, when the fire is at high, there is less steam, but at low, there is more steam. Is there a physics principle that can explain this?

3 Answers 3
I must admit that I have never noticed this, and indeed it runs somewhat contrary to what I would expect.
It's a suggestion rather than an answer, but when the heat is high there will be a strong updraught of hot air so is it possible that the steam is being carried away from the pan before it has a chance to condense to water droplets? Indeed if the air flow is fast enough the steam might never condense because it would be diluted into the surrounding air before droplet nucleation happened.
By contrast at very low heat the air flow around the pan is slow so the water vapour has plenty of time to condense and form visible droplets.
share|improve this answer
I tried the experiment with a pot and 5mm of water and with a pan and 5mm of water. When it is just water steam at boiling is proportional to the fire as more bubbles form at the bottom of the pan and turn to steam.
So it must be the combined effect of food and water.
I suspect:
The surface of the scallops or salmon, if the heat is high, dries up fast and no longer evaporates, while it obstructs/absorbs the steam coming from the bottom where food touches it. In other words the food is seared immediately and less evaporative surface is exposed to air when heat is high.
When heat is low the fish does not dry up and gives off steam too, plus the fractal effect of the increased surface area, since no food is flat, must contribute to more steam at low fire.
A third effect might come from the bubble formation in the exposed surface of the liquid, since it will no longer be pure water. It might be that bubbles can be bigger and gather more steam before they burst, in the exposed to air part of the liquid, while for high heat they have too much energy and burst before accumulating steam. Again a food effect.
I will verify this supposition next time I braise salmon with teriyaki sauce.

by the way, I suspect that even just water will have the same effect, as I remember just boiling some water in the cook pot and turn down the fire to lower level and keep it there, and steam came out a lot more than if fire was at high level – 太極者無極而生 Jan 3 '13 at 14:49
We know that we see steam visually observe steam when water vapor condenses into water. Otherwise water vapor is transparent.My suspicion is that in the case when the fire is lower then the bubbling threshold, water vapour condenses into stream more easily. – Prathyush Jan 28 '13 at 6:08
I have been boiling water in our house for humidity at times during the cold weather. I noticed this phenomenon, but never with any food involved. I suspect it has more to do with the rapidity of which the matter is getting excited gives it less time to make the physical change. When the application of heat/energy is decreased, the fervent movement of the matter involved slows and the process of transformation is easier...the principle of dispersion lends to the water then spreading its energy to the surrounding environment in an accelerated manner vs the matter in question dealing with taking on the energy.
