* Only bucket summaries that are considered "up to date" are used to
 deliver results.
* This value is the default value of the 'allow_old_summaries' setting,
 if that argument is not specified in the command.
* When set to "false", 'tstats' always confirms that the datamodel
 search in each bucket's summary metadata is considered up to date with the
 current datamodel search.
* When set to "true", 'tstats' delivers results even from bucket summaries
 that are considered out of date with the current datamodel.
* Default: false
apply_search_filter = <boolean>
* Whether or not 'tstats' applies role-based search filters when users
 run the command on normal index data.
* If set to "true", 'tstats' applies role-based search filters.
* NOTE: Regardless of this setting value, 'tstats' never applies search
 filters to data collected with 'tscollect', or with datamodel acceleration.
* Default: true
bucket_localize_max_lookahead = <integer>
* This setting is only relevant when using remote storage.
* Specifies the maximum number of buckets the tstats command localizes for
 look-ahead purposes, in addition to the required bucket.
* Increasing this value can improve performance, at the cost of additional
 network/io/disk utilization.
* Valid values are 0-64. Any value larger than 64 will be set to 64. Other
 invalid values will be discarded and the default will be substituted.
* Default: 10
chunk_size = <unsigned integer>

 the command
* This argument controls how many events are retrieved at a time within a
 single TSIDX file when answering queries
* Consider lowering this value if tstats queries are using too much memory
 (cannot be set lower than 10000)
* Larger values will tend to cause more memory to be used (per search) and
 might have performance benefits.
* Smaller values will tend to reduce performance and might reduce memory used
 (per search).
* Altering this value without careful measurement is not advised.
* Default: _PHONE_
summariesonly = <boolean>
* Whether or not 'tstats' employs a mixed mode when running against an
 accelerated datamodel.
* This value is the default value for the 'summariesonly' setting, if that
 argument is not specified in the command.
* In mixed mode, 'tstats' falls back to search if it encounters missing
 tsidx data.
* If set to "true", 'tstats' overrides this mixed mode, and only generates
 results from available tsidx data, which might be incomplete.
* If set to "false", 'tstats' uses mixed mode, and falls back to search for
 tsidx data that is missing.
* Default: false
warn_on_missing_summaries = <boolean>
* ADVANCED: Only meant for debugging 'summariesonly=true' searches on
 accelerated datamodels.
* When set to "true", search will issue a warning for a tstats 'summariesonly=true'

Containment building
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nuclear power reactor defense layers
Containment building is a building with a nuclear reactor in it. It is built around the reactor to keep the radiation from getting out, if something happens to the reactor. The containment building is the last barrier to the radiation getting into the environment. Containment systems for nuclear power reactors are distinguished by size, shape, materials used, and suppression systems. The kind of containment used is determined by the type of reactor, generation of the reactor, and the specific plant needs.[1]
The Chernobyl accident was very bad partly because Soviet reactors had no containment buildings.
Layers of nuclear defense[change | change source]
The diagram shown to the right demonstrates the order of defense layers for a nuclear reactor. The first layer of defense is the inert, ceramic quality of the uranium oxide itself. The second layer is the air tight zirkonium alloy of the fuel rod. The third layer is the reactor pressure vessel made of steel more than a dozen centimeters thick. The fourth layer is the pressure resistant, air tight containment building. The fifth layer is the exclusion zone around the reactor.

Escape Sequences for Nonprintable Characters in C++
By: Stanley B. Viewed: 633 times Printer Friendly Format
Some characters are nonprintable. A nonprintable character is a character for which there is no visible image, such as backspace or a control character. Other characters have special meaning in the language, such as the single and double quotation marks, and the backslash. Nonprintable characters and special characters are written using an escape sequence. An escape sequence begins with a backslash. The language defines the following escape sequences:

newline
\n
horizontal tab
\t
vertical tab
\v
backspace
\b
carriage return
\r
formfeed
\f
alert (bell)
\a
backslash
\\
question mark
\?
single quote
\'
double quote
\"

We can write any character as a generalized escape sequence of the form
 \ooo
where ooo represents a sequence of as many as three octal digits. The value of the octal digits represents the numerical value of the character. The following examples are representations of literal constants using the ASCII character set:
 \7 (bell) \12 (newline) \40 (blank)
 \0 (null) \062 ('2') \115 ('M')
The character represented by '\0' is often called a "null character," and has special significance, as we shall soon see.
We can also write a character using a hexadecimal escape sequence
 \xddd
consisting of a backslash, an x, and one or more hexadecimal digits.

Work with placeholders in labels and tooltips 17 Dec 2019
Each shape in a diagram can contain metadata or custom properties - extra information about those shapes.
These custom properties can also be used to define placeholder values, acting like variables in a computer program. Placeholders can be used in shape labels and tooltips to show the value of the custom property of that shape, the container shape it is inside, or an ancestor in a multi-group shape.
When you move a shape that contains a placeholder into a container shape with a matching property, the label that contains the placeholder (or tooltip) will be updated automatically.
Note: As an advanced feature, placeholders are not enabled by default - you need to explicitly tell you want to use them.
But first, you need to add a property to the shape or container shape you want to reference.
Add a custom property
You can add custom properties to any shape, connector, container shape, swim lane, etc.
 1. Select a shape, and in the Arrange tab of the format panel, click on Edit Data. Alternatively, right-click on the shape and select Edit Data from the context menu, or select the shape and press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M on Windows or Cmd+M on MacOs.
 2. The dialog lists the custom properties you have added. To add a new one, enter a name for the custom property, then click Add Property.
 Add a property name to your shape
 3. Now enter a value for the custom property in the text field next to the name you just entered, and click Apply.
 Enter the property value for the new property you just added
When you hover over that shape, the custom properties that you added and their values are displayed in a tooltip, unless you have added a custom tooltip property - then only the tooltip value is displayed. To see how to define a tooltip, and use custom properties as placeholders within the tooltip, keep reading.
Custom properties are displayed by default in a tooltip when you hover over the shape
Tip: Properties can be set globally, working similar to global variables in a programming language. Make sure nothing is selected, then click on Edit Data in the format panel to see the global custom properties.
Use a property as a placeholder
Once you have added a custom property to your shape, you can use it as a placeholder in the shape's label or tooltip text.
Turn a shape into a container
If you want to use the properties defined in a parent shape as a placeholder, you need to turn the parent into a container shape.
 1. Select the parent shape, and expand the shape Properties in the format panel on the right.
 2. Make sure the Container checkbox is enabled.
Add a placeholder to a shape label
To display the value of a shape's property in a label, write the property name surrounded by % signs. For example, if you have added a property called group to the shape, write %group%.
 1. Right-click on a shape and select Edit Data from the context menu, make sure the Placeholders checkbox is selected, then click Apply.
 Edit the shape's data, and enable the Placeholders checkbox
 2. Edit the text label of the shape to include the property name surrounded by % signs.
 Add a placeholder to a shape label, for example %group%
There are a number of predefined placeholders where you can add the date and time in a variety of time formats, page number or title, and more to labels and tooltips.
Troubleshooting tips
If the property name does not exist for that shape, the value of the matching property name of the nearest ancestor (container shape or group) is used. If not found, the text is printed as is.
If a property isn't found and the placeholder text appears with the % signs, edit the shape data (Ctrl+M or Cmd+M) of both the shape and its ancestor, double check the property name is correct and make sure that the Placeholders checkbox is enabled.
Note that the diagram itself can have custom properties that can be referenced by placeholders. Make sure nothing in you diagram is selected, then click Edit Data in the format panel on the right to see these 'global' custom properties.
Note that there are a few special shape property names:
 - tooltip: If you define a tooltip property, only this text will be displayed when you hover over a shape (and no other custom properties).
 - placeholder: This turns the entire shape label into a placeholder, without needing to add a property name to the shape's label manually. See how to use the placeholder custom property
Add a placeholder to a tooltip on a shape
Select a shape and you can add a tooltip to it via Edit > Edit Tooltip or by using the keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+T. By entering a tooltip this way, it simply adds it to the list of custom properties.
You can define a tooltip with a placeholder directly:
 2. Add a new property with the name: tooltip.
 3. In the blank field next to the tooltip property, add your tooltip text, putting % symbols around the placeholder you want to use in it. Then click Apply.
 Add a tooltip property, and write the tooltip text - include a placeholder by surrounding the property name with % signs
Now, when you hover over the shape, the tooltip text will appear, and the placeholder will be replaced with the value of the property it references.
How the example tooltip with a placeholder appears when you hover over the shape
Use placeholders to automate your diagramming
Looking at a somewhat more practical example - you can use placeholders in labels in your infrastructure diagrams. Then, when you change the address of the subnet group, the individual node IP addresses will update automatically.
In the example below, the labels on the individual nodes inside the subnet use a placeholder which references the custom subnet property of the containing oval shape. This makes it easy to update the IP addresses in that subnet.

Location: Cotton Ginning Research
Title: Predicting seed cotton moisture content from changes in drying air temperature - second year Authors
Submitted to: ASABE Annual International Meeting
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: July 21, 2013
Publication Date: N/A
Technical Abstract: A mathematical model was used to predict seed cotton moisture content in the overhead section of a cotton gin. The model took into account the temperature, mass flow, and specific heat of both the air and seed cotton. Air temperatures and mass flows were measured for a second year at a commercial gin in Mississippi during the 2012 season. Results still showed high variations in the mass flow rate of both the air and seed cotton (9 and 16%, respectively), and a low drying air temperature (127 °F). The model is more responsive with higher drying air temperatures. The model performed slightly better the second year due to due to synchronizing the sampling of seed cotton with the recording of air temperature and air mass flow. However, predicted seed cotton moisture content still correlated poorly with actual seed cotton moisture content. Improvement must be made in measuring the mass flow of air, and determining seed cotton mass flow in real time. Having an accurate measurement of seed-cotton moisture content in a cotton gin would help ginners determine how much heat to use to dry the cotton.

Most modern wheat cultivars contain major dwarfing genes, but their effects on root growth are unclear. Near-isogenic lines (NILs) containing Rht-B1b, Rht-D1b, Rht-B1c, Rht8c, Rht-D1c, and Rht12 were used to characterize the effects of semi-dwarfing and dwarfing alleles on root growth of 'Mercia' and 'Maris Widgeon' wheat cultivars. Wheat seedlings were grown in gel chambers, soil-filled columns, and in the field. Roots were extracted and length and dry mass measured. No significant differences in root length were found between semi-dwarfing lines and the control lines in any experiment, nor was there a significant difference between the root lengths of the two cultivars grown in the field. Total root length of the dwarf lines (Rht-B1c, Rht-D1c, and Rht12) was significantly different from that of the control although the effect was dependent on the experimental methodology; in gel chambers root length of dwarfing lines was increased by ∼40% while in both soil media it was decreased (by 24–33%). Root dry mass was 22–30% of the total dry mass in the soil-filled column and field experiments. Root length increased proportionally with grain mass, which varied between NILs, so grain mass was a covariate for the analysis of variance. Although total root length was altered by dwarf lines, root architecture (average root diameter, lateral root:total root ratio) was not affected by reduced height alleles. A direct effect of dwarfing alleles on root growth during seedling establishment, rather than a secondary partitioning effect, was suggested by the present experiments.

text: ||The application of Rubbersoil-Primer to fill slope protection against rainfall infiltration was first initiated in 2004. The engineering properties of Rubbersoil-SB, Rubbersoil-LGM and Rubbersoil-Primer were studied by the former researcher and the capability of Rubbersoils in protecting loose fill slopes were justified by the rainfall model test and a full scale field test in Sau Kei Wan. This thesis serves as a continuation to investigate the function of Rubbersoil-Primer as an interface material for controlling the hydraulic conditions of loose fill slopes and the engineering properties of a new Rubbersoil ------ Rubbersoil-Impermeable Primer were investigated in this thesis. The mechanical and hydraulic properties of Rubbersoil-Primer and Rubbersoil-Impermeable Primer ranging from unconfined compressive strength, saturated and unsaturated permeability, soil water characteristics to confined and unconfined shrinkage were studied by a series of laboratory tests. The performances of Rubbersoil fill slope under hypothetical and real rainfall condition were examined by the rainfall model test, numerical simulation and a full scale field test in Tuen Mun. In light of the fact that the soil-water characteristic (SWCC) measures the water storage capacity of the soil under a given soil suction and it is an essential hydraulic parameter for computing transient seepage in unsaturated soils, an indirect and a direct test making use of MIP (mercury intrusion porosiometry) and modified pressure plate were conducted to determine the SWCC of Rubbersoil-Primer of various densities. The measured SWCC together with the generated permeability functions were used as an input parameters for simulating the transient seepage analysis. Parametric study on the influences of the density and the thickness of Rubbersoil-Primer, the angle of slope inclination and the rainfall pattern on the pore water pressure distribution were performed. The numerical simulation results show that the matric suction of the loose fill soil can be maintained with the use of Rubbersoil-Primer over the density range from 1300 kg/m3 to 1700 kg/m3 and the pore water pressure distribution is found to be insensitive to the thickness of Rubbersoil-Primer. The numerical modeling results suggest that there is a room for reduction to the original design density and thickness of Rubbersoil-Primer..It is also found that there is no significant change in the pore water pressure distribution with respect to the change in the fill slope inclination and the matric suction of the fill soil is maintained under a 10 hour black rain event as well as a real rainfall event which triggered the 1976 Sau Mau Ping landslide. The capability of Rubbersoil-Primer in protecting fill slope under rainfall infiltration was also assured by the physical rainfall model test and the full scale field test. The matric suction of the loose fill soil was maintained over a 2 hour intense rainfall in the rainfall model test. The lateral and vertical settlements of the fill slope in Tuen Mun Ching Lung Nursery over 1 year monitoring period were also found to be far below the alert level.

Banded Coral Shrimp
The Banded Coral Shrimp, Stenopus hispidus is a decapod crustacean, resembling shrimp. It is classified in the infraorder Stenopodidea. More familiar names for this species include Banded Boxer Shrimp, Banded Prawn, Coral Banded Shrimp and Barber-pole Shrimp. This crustacean looks like a shrimp and even shares the common name shrimp, however, it is not truly shrimp.
The shrimp-like crustacean is less than an inch long with red bands wrapping his body, and long, white antennae upon his head. To defend itself from predators, its body is covered with short, sharp spines.
Decapods use their tail to move backwards very quickly to escape danger. Unlike true shrimp that dwell on muddy bottoms to feed, the banded coral shrimp are much cleaner and prefer to dwell in openings in the reef as well as sponges. The crustacean is a popular aquarium pet because of its cleaning reputation. It is capable of removing dead tissue, and algae and parasites from other comrade fish in the tank.
The banded coral shrimp are often found hanging upside down on rocks and shells in anchialine pools and on coral reefs.

中文摘要:
 杨树沟曾经发生过3次泥石流，威胁主沟下游村庄、道路，属于易发泥石流沟，具有局部降雨强度高的气象水文条件，主沟狭长、支沟多的地形地貌环境条件，以及山坡两侧和沟底丰富的物源条件等特点。通过分析泥石流区段冲於特征和基本参数，提出对该泥石流沟的防治对策是"上游拦挡"与"下游排导防护"相结合。上游拦挡工程主要为设置拦挡坝，下游对原有防护堤进行加高、加长，将物源进行导流处理，以防止上游来水直冲居民聚居区。
英文摘要:
 There have been three debris flows in the village of Yangshugou, which threatened the villages and roads downstream of the main gully, which belonged to the debris flow gully, with high local rainfall intensity, many landform and geomorphological conditions in the main gully and long narrow ditch, as well as the rich source conditions on both sides of the hillside and the bottom of the gully, and so on. By analyzing the characteristics and basic parameters of the debris flow section, the prevention and control measures for the debris flow ditch were put forward by the combination of "upstream block and downstream guide protection". At the same time, the upstream block project was mainly the valley dam. At the same time, the downstream protection embankment was lengthened and the source was guided to prevent the direct flow of water from the residential area.

The Chinese Wonder Woman is not Mulan
[Hanfugirl Pre-International Women's Day Special]
Pretty sure 99% would immediately think of Mulan when you think of mapping a Chinese figure to Wonder Woman–Disney did a great job in telling her story but there's actually no real proof that she really existed in history (not that Wonder Woman does of course). Guess what, Fact is sometimes more amazing than Fiction. There was actually a real person who lived over 3000 years ago in China, who embodied everything that Mulan stood for in terms of female empowerment, and more.
Her name is Fu Hao (妇好). Or Lady Hao. She was an empress, a general, and a high priestess.
Her story was recorded on oracle bones of over 3,000 years ago in Shang dynasty China. Possibly the earliest Chinese female general to be recorded in writing. In fact, she was likely to be the one who wrote on those oracle bones as well since she was the high priestess tasked to conduct oracle bone reading ceremonies.
fuhao engraving oracle bone
Similar to Wonder Woman whose identity is that of half mankind half goddess, Fu Hao was also seen as someone who was able to communicate with the other realm, therefore, tasked to lead large rituals and religious ceremonies on behalf of the emperor. If you've been following my Sailormoon series, the idea of a matriarchal society or women being seen as a powerful medium between heaven and earth, the spirit and the physical world in ancient China would not come as a surprise to you.
The ancient Chinese worshipped the deer and the earliest jade artefact that has deer totem originated from the same period as Fu Hao–the Shang dynasty. As such, I thought it fitting for the iconic Wonder Woman tiara to be taking the form of a deer totem in the case of Fu Hao. After all, deers were seen as the ancestors of women by the ancient Chinese societies. They were deemed as embodying the spirit and the mystical powers of female/mothers. Wonder woman's tiara adorned with a red star was a symbol of her status as Princess of Paradise Island, so it is fitting that I swap the deer for her red star in my recreation of Fu Hao as Wonder Woman (or Wonder Woman as Fu Hao).
Deers were also worshipped and admired for their swiftness and for their combat capability using their powerful antlers.
Remember Princess Mononoke? The powerful spirit was in the form of a deer.
Then there's the Lasso of Truth which Wonder Woman created many powerful moves of great destructive powers with. I have equated that to the jade thumb ring for archery which was unearthed at Fu Hao's tomb with very interesting engravings that bear a certain resemblance to the totems from the Amazonian culture. Some credited Fu Hao for the invention of the thumb ring in archery. It was meant for the Asian way of archery which pulls the string of the bow back using the thumb instead of the European way which uses the fingers. The use of a thumb ring can protect the user's thumb from the large tension that's built up, and apparently allows greater flexibility while riding a horse–that's also why it is popularly also known as the Mongolian technique because they continued using it.
The thumb ring is a non-living proof that Fu Hao commanded armies, fought amongst her men, and was an extremely formidable warrior herself. Based on records from the oracle bones, she fought many battles in her lifetime and conquered many lands for her husband-emperor.
There are two holes at the bottom which were meant for strings to go through with the other end secured to her wrist so she could take the ring off and put it back on easily. Replica of the artefact made from a bone.
Like wonder woman who is believed to live eternally, the Shang dynasty emperor also thought of his empress to have continued living after her death. The physical form of Fu Hao sustained injuries and was in a poor state after many battles. She died at the age of about 30 years old. But to the Emperor, her spirit continued to live and he conducted several ghost marriages for her to be married to the past ancient emperors with the hope that her spirit would continue to watch over his land and him through such marriage alliances.
This is all the more important because Fu Hao was the high priestess who not only hosted many important rituals for the state and country but also was seen as a spirit medium who could decipher the wills of heaven and spirits through the reading of oracle bones.
I'd liked to imagine that Wonder Woman might have been one of her reincarnations, or perhaps, she continued to live on in different forms throughout different periods in history, wearing different dresses and with different identities (not unlike Wonder Woman who adopted a new identity as Diana Prince and lived through the world wars until present day with no sign of aging).
Wonder woman's main colour schemes are the 3 primary colours and black and white, which coincidentally was the corresponding colours of the 5 elements in ancient Chinese beliefs. This colour scheme was exceptionally popular during Ming dynasty (the red and blue combination), and I adapted the Ming dynasty dress for this shoot.
I also particularly liked the latest movie's Wonder Woman in her blue gown with a gorgeously dangerous weapon tucked behind. Of course, logistical reason first– The Tang dynasty dress is the only one that I can think of that somewhat resembles the gown she wore, and also so happens I have a similarly coloured Tang dynasty dress and top!
But more than that, Tang dynasty is yet another era in (relatively) recent Chinese history that has a slight burst of matriarchy. It was a period where powerful queens were present in many cultures all over the world, not only in China (I've written about it with slightly more details here). The style of cleavage showing dresses were believed by academics to be an influence which the Chinese took from India and ancient Greece. Apt isn't it?
Particularly, I thought that having the arrows tucked behind would be a nice and relevant visual reference to the sword. Also, just in case you are wondering, it is not that hard to tuck something behind your back if you have a strong enough dress… or tying technique. 😉
Quiver and Arrow, Java, Early 1800s. Collection of the British Museum on loan to the Asian Civilisations Museum as part of this exhibition. It was a very advanced and civilised culture even before the British colonisation of this region, thus such fine crafts and materials were able to be crafted. I've not seen any quiver this exquisite in Chinese culture (maybe I'm not familiar with the history of archery), although gold quiver was found in around 400BCE in the Greek tomb of Philip II.
I visited the Raffles in Southeast Asia exhibition at the Asian Civilisations Museum recently and came across this set of arrow and quiver collected by Raffles (ok I didn't know that this is the term for the arrow holder until today–see! Always learn new things!), but I can definitely imagine that in an alternate universe, the Wonder Woman Fu Hao could be having something like this at her back for her arrows!
I wish there was more information about this quiver but guess we'll never know.
Of course, we still love Mulan the animation, and I am also anticipating the release of the actual action film when it's out. But in all honesty, I would think that Fu Hao is a much closer equal to Wonder Woman than Mulan. After all, she didn't need to pretend to be a man in order to fight for her country. She was glorified as a woman, and her gender was the source of her empowerment instead of a liability as in the case of Mulan.
In all honesty, if Mulan existed and she got found out that she actually deceived the emperor, not only would she be persecuted, her family would be implicated too. I am actually in the midst of another project research and preparation that talks about gender neutrality in ancient China… So stay tuned (still finding my last model!).
Yes, Yes, I'm always experimenting with new mediums and ways of expressions. Fun for me, fun for you!
I've been doing the East meets West, Old meets New Hanfu series the past year and was recently given the challenge by Our Grandfather Story to find the Chinese equivalent of Wonder Woman. The video should be out soon (I've seen the draft, and am lovin' it!)
As I mature, I realised the importance of representation in media on one's cultural pride and identity. And since we can't possibly wait around for Hollywood and Disney to do that for Asian culture, especially since they don't always get it (not their fault, it's not easy), I figured that I could have fun adapting it on my own. Bearing in mind that superficial looks is just one part, the knowledge and history is what can last for much longer.
Since International Women's Day is around the corner, this is going out to all women–you can be anyone you want, anyone you dream of, if you just believe (such motherhood statement I realise, but hey, that's a special privilege as a woman I guess!)!
Don't wait for others to define you!
[Apparently the correct ancient pronunciation of her surname Hao好, is supposed to be Zi 子–taking the right side of the word.]
OK here's the full video by the Old Grandfather Story folks!

Opportunity Affirmations
Today's Thought:
~Emily Dickinson
focus on success magnifying glassIf there is one defining difference between positive thinkers and negative thinkers, successful people and unsuccessful people, happy people and unhappy people; it must be their responses to opportunity.
Those on the negative of scale see few opportunities. It's not enough for opportunity to knock on their door. They expect opportunity to break their door down and plead with them to pursue it. They go through life with arms crossed, doubting everything and everyone, and hanging a big "NO" sign on their foreheads. They can see only the risk and not the reward. And life obliges by constantly appearing risky and saying "NO" to them.
Those on the successful side see opportunities everywhere and are always listening for the lightest knock of opportunity upon their doors. "Never knowing when the dawn will come," as Dickinson says, these people position themselves to say "YES" to life because they know that is how life will say "YES" to them. They know that there is no reward without risk, but they are able to focus on the rewards. And life obliges by bringing both opportunity and reward their way.
Which are you? When someone comes to you with an idea, do you try to see the vision or do you look for the nearest escape hatch? Do you dream and follow your dreams or consider them a meaningless waste of time? You see, life is watching and it is constantly manifesting precisely what you expect from it.
Here are 13 opportunity affirmations written to help you commit to seizing opportunities and running with them. Dream on!
 1. Today is MY day! The winds of opportunity are blowing my way!
 2. Every day is blank and I am eager to fill it up with new possibilities!
 3. I see opportunities! I seize opportunities! I capitalize on opportunities!
 4. The more opportunities I listen to, the more opportunities I find!
 5. When I am ready to try, I am ready to fly!
 6. When I open the door for opportunity, I open the door for my dreams!
 7. When opportunity knocks, I am the first one to the door!
 8. As long as there is breath, there is opportunity!
 9. Opportunity is everywhere for me! My personal economy is booming!
 10. My missed opportunities are really my new opportunities!
 11. I say YES to life and life says YES to me!
 12. Defeat is my opportunity! Victory is my opportunity! Every circumstance is my opportunity!
 13. The Universe showers me with opportunities and today I make the most of them!
Follow your bliss. Experience your bliss. Become your bliss.

I Choose Affirmations – Day 267 of 365 Days to a Better You
Choice, my friends, is the foundation of freedom. In modern free societies, you are offered so many choices that you can lose your ability to recognize the critical choices.
Walk down the typical chip aisle in an American grocery store and you're presented hundreds of choices. You may walk up and down for several minutes trying to make a choice. Turn in your TV and you may ha e several hundred channels to choose from.
These kinds of choices are superficial choices; really almost a distraction. Yes, it's wonderful to have so many choices, but choosing one bag of chips over another or one TV show over another changes little in the outcome of your life.
The choices that really matter are the ones we've fought centuries to achieve and fight today to maintain. Your exact list will be unique to you. However, I wrote these affirmations to cover some of the big ones.
These affirmations affirm both your right to choose and your power to choose.
 1. Today I CHOOSE thoughts that make my life better.

Conscious Becoming – Day 239 of 365 Days to a Better You
~John Ruskin
It's happening every moment of every day. There, it just happened again. With every sensory impression, thought, word, action, experience, you're becoming something different than you were the moment before. So is everyone and everything else around you.
This is a natural process of our universe. As far as we know everything is subject to it. To say that you are this or you are that is not a static definition. It's a snapshot captured in an instant of constantly unfolding process; one that never ends.
However, this is more than a philosophical banter on a Monday morning. This universal process can be harnessed toward your objectives.
If you're constantly changing, why not change into what you choose? Why not make the process conscious?
You certainly have control of your thoughts, words, and actions. You can modify them before and as they occur. You may not have complete control of your sensory impressions or your experiences, but you do have some control over how you respond to them and who you become as a result of them.
Things aren't just out there randomly happening, though it can seem that way. What you're becoming, consciously or unconsciously, is the result of your active participation in the process. Your expectations attract like experiences. Your pattern of thought generate more similar thoughts. How you precess your experiences becomes your reality.
You are becoming. Don't become accidentally. Be conscious become who you choose.
Thank you all for stopping by and for your comments, likes, and support!

Cloud Pharmaceuticals receives $150,000 phase I grant from NSF SBIR
Cloud Pharmaceuticals, a therapeutics company focused on cloud-based drug design and development, has been awarded a phase I grant from the National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Research (NSF SBIR) program. The grant is valued at $150,000.
This phase I NSF SBIR project focuses on advancing the development of the Inverse Design computational drug discovery platform. Inverse Design runs computational models to quickly scan vast molecular space to find the strongest inhibitors of specific biological targets. It uses advanced quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations for binding accuracy combined with an artificial intelligence heuristic search algorithm.
"We intend to apply the grants to add tools to enhance the molecular searching functionality of our Inverse Design platform," said Dr. Shahar Keinan, chief scientific officer for Cloud Pharmaceuticals. "The first is a multi-object optimization to further enhance the accuracy of our search results. The second is an automated scaffold-design algorithm that enables highly selective inhibitor designs. These tools will further our efforts to identify molecules that not only bind well to a biological target, but also feature good clinical properties and demonstrate low probability of toxic and off-target side effects, as well as greater stability and synthesizability."

let's compare five six and five eighths let's think about what they mean five six means five out of six pieces if you have a whole let's say a whole cake and you cut it into six pieces five six is five of those six pieces five eighths again is five pieces that's something that's the same we're both talking about five pieces but this time we split our cake into eight pieces so it's five out of eight pieces we can represent that by drawing it maybe we can draw here's one whole and then another one so these are two equal holes and on one of them we can shade five six and the other five eight that way we can look and compare them so four five six if we divide this whole we were using the example of cake into six equal sized pieces not sure if those are perfect but let's say those are six equal sized pieces five six is talking about five of those pieces so one two three four five this image represents five six now four five eight let's think about it for a second well the piece is in five eighths be bigger or smaller than five six are eight bigger or smaller than six well we can draw and see if we have the same size hole which we need to have the same size hole and we draw and we split it into eight pieces this time so now we have fourths and eight these pieces these eighths one eighth is smaller than a six because this time we had to split the cake between eight people so we got smaller pieces now again we can shade five of them seems like five pieces might be equal to five pieces but we can look and see four five and now we can look and see the five six takes up more space takes up more area this is a larger amount and the reason is because each six each piece is larger so five larger pieces is more than five smaller pieces or is greater than and remember with our symbol the open side the larger side should be facing our larger number so five six is greater than five eighths here's one more but this time let's try to compare them without drawing let's just think about what these mean two fifths means two pieces out of five so one hole will split five ways and we got two of the pieces two thirds needs that same hole we'll split three ways and we got two of the pieces well which two pieces are larger the two thirds are larger because if we only have to split our pieces three ways we can have larger pieces so the two fifths are smaller these two smaller pieces are less these two smaller pieces are less than the two larger pieces and again the open end of our symbol should be facing the larger number so two fifths is less than two thirds


text: The use of pheromones to disrupt mating behaviours is perhaps the most promising method for controlling the sugarcane pest Dasylepida ishigakiensis Niijima et Kinoshita, also known as the white grub beetle. Herein, based on laboratory observations of mating, oviposition and hatching behaviours in the white grub beetle, we suggest guidelines for the timing and length of sex-pheromone release in the field. In the present study, we collected virgin female adults early in the mating season (4 February) in sugarcane fields in Okinawa, Japan and mated them in the laboratory after different time intervals with males collected at the same time. We investigated the effects of delayed mating on mating success, timing of oviposition, female longevity after mating and progeny hatchability. Mating success – defined as the proportion of mated females that produced progeny – and hatchability were not significantly affected by mating delays of less than 31 days, although further delays dramatically decreased these parameters. Female life span and the time between mating and oviposition were unaffected by mating delay. Similar results were obtained for laboratory-reared adults mated on day 45, 60 or 80 after adult emergence. Based on these findings, we propose that releasing synthetic sex pheromones between mid-January (i.e. shortly before the start of the mating season) and late March would be optimal for disrupting the mating behaviours of this beetle in the field.

Restore and Control Shoreline Erosion on Naples Canalyeppymarketing2019-12-05T18:50:53+00:00
Since 2017, the homeowner watched his property disappear via rain events into adjacent canals. He encountered two primary issues; 1. Loss of several inches of topsoil washing into the canals, and 2. Erosion, along the length of adjacent canals, had eaten away several feet of his backyard and side landscape. Our solutions restored his topsoil with effective, proper surface drainage while protecting all exposed soil from future erosion via plant material and shell. We restored the canal shoreline back to original dimensions and provided protection against this ever happening again.

Development of an Electronically Controlled Two-Way Roller Clutch for Transfer Case Applications 2001-01-0866
This paper describes a new two-way, over-running mechanical clutch and electronic control for four wheel drive systems. This package is called the "Lock On Demand" (LOD) system.
The LOD system is composed of a two-way over-running roller clutch, an electronic controller, and sensors. The controller actuates the roller clutch mechanism, putting the vehicle in 2WD or 4WD based on the information from sensors which measure speed, throttle position, brake activity, etc.
The two way roller clutch is composed of a cammed inner race, a cylindrical outer race, rollers and retainer. An electro-magnetic coil is used as the activating trigger for the mechanical clutch.
In this paper, the LOD system is introduced, and details are given for the operation of the roller clutch and controller. In addition, the results from a finite element analysis (FEA) are included.

Planetary nebula or symbiotic Mira? Near infrared colours mark the difference*
Institut für Astrophysik der Leopold-Franzens-Universität Innsbruck, Technikerstr. 25, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria ()
Corresponding author: S. Schmeja, _EMAIL_
Accepted: 17 August 2001
Nebulae around symbiotic Miras look very much like genuine planetary nebulae, although they are formed in a slightly different way. We present near infrared photometry of known and suspected symbiotic nebulae obtained with the Deep Near Infrared Southern Sky Survey (DENIS). We demonstrate that the near infrared colours are an excellent tool to distinguish symbiotic from genuine planetary nebulae. In particular we find that the bipolar planetary nebulae M 2-9 and Mz 3 are in fact symbiotic Miras. Further observations on prototype symbiotic Miras prove that the proposed classification scheme works generally.
Key words: planetary nebulae: general / binaries: symbiotic / stars: AGB and post-AGB / stars: winds, outflows

What is the Average Rank in League of Legends?
A prevalent thing we hear from League of Legends players is that they are "average." But what does that actually mean? Is it in relation to their skill, or perhaps time played? Well, let's find out!
What is the Most Common League of Legends Rank?
Statistically, the most average rank is Silver IV, and it holds about 11% of all players. Silver IV is the ninth rank in the League of Legends ranking system and the first rank of the Silver Division, which alone contains about 40% of the game's player base.
It's also the most popular division to be in.
Therefore, we could say that the Silver Division is a place for players representing average skills.
This division is also where the real tryhard begins, as players compete for additional end-of-season prizes. It bears mentioning that, by every season's end, the rank with the most players shifts to Gold IV, as more and more players manage to grind it out.
How Good is the Average LoL Player?
The skill of average League of Legends players has been climbing steadily over the years. Where in the early days of League of Legends, even knowing every champion was considered an accomplishment, nowadays the picture is a bit different, and far more demanding.
Average LoL players can be considered to have the following skills and knowledge:
- Having an established Champion pool,
- Knowing how to farm minions,
- Knowing the importance of objectives,
- Knowing which Champions are strong in the meta.
What Should Average LoL Players Learn?
Even though the largest amount of players is situated around the Silver and Gold divisions, the path to the ranked peak is long indeed.
Here are a few things that players in the Gold and Silver divisions lack:
- Adapting to enemy picks in draft,
- Pushing ally advantages,
- Punishing enemy mistakes,
- Not throwing the lead,
- Learning macro gameplay,
- Learning wave management,
- Learning how to close out a won game,
- Learning to play from a position of weakness, called playing from behind.
We do not doubt that the primary aspect differentiating an average player from a higher-ranked one is experience and time spent in the game wisely.
If you wonder what to do to get to an above-average level, just play the game, commit some time to practice, and learn from your mistakes without blaming others.

The Law Commission recommends reform of the Right to Manage
Helena Bannister explores the Law Commission's Right to Manage report.
On 21 July 2020 the Law Commission published three reports on commonhold; leasehold enfranchisement/freehold acquisition and the Right to Manage (RTM). The Law Commission makes hundreds of recommendations on these areas of proposed leasehold reform. This article will focus on the RTM report.
Right to Manage
The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 gave leaseholders the ability to take over the freeholder's management functions without having to purchase the freehold. Current qualifying criteria have been deemed overly restrictive - it is not possible to exercise RTM on multiple buildings or buildings with more than 25% non-residential space. The Law Commission's recommendations include:
- The scope of buildings eligible extended, with the non-residential eligibility threshold raised to 50%.
- An extension of the right to leasehold house owners and give multi-building schemes a route to RTM.
- Removing the requirement that leaseholders pay the landlord's costs of an RTM claim, including in any tribunal proceedings. Giving leaseholders significantly more control and certainty over the costs they will incur will bring the RTM within reach of more leaseholders.
- Reducing the number of notices that leaseholders must serve in order to claim the RTM, and giving the tribunal the power to waive procedural mistakes in claim notices.
- Clearer rules for the management of property which is not exclusive to the premises claiming the RTM, such as shared gardens and carparks.
Alongside the Law Commission's recommendations on commonhold and enfranchisement, the Government will now need to decide whether these proposals to make the RTM procedure more accessible and workable should become law. If so, it could see an increase in tenants seeking to obtain control of management of existing leasehold developments, particularly with the proposed change in the non-residential threshold which would make many more buildings eligible. These reforms have been long in the making, and it remains to be seen whether the Government now pushes for these reforms to be implemented sooner rather than later.

At the Eurogamer Expo today Alex Hutchinson and Jonathan Cooper from Ubisoft Montreal answered the question on the lips of every fan of Russia or Japan: 'why America?'
"In looking for a suitable setting for AC we look for times that have been a turning point in history, and a time and place most gamers haven't been," explained Alex. "Many gamers have been to America, but not in the 18th century."
The pair talked about the themes of the American Revolution and how they synced perfectly with those of the Assassin/Templar feud - liberty or death, power vs slavery, control vs freedom. They had also noted that players liked interacting with Leonardo da Vinci in previous games because he was a known name, and the revolution offered plenty of those.
It was also important, as they explained, to make Connor be stuck in the middle - not king & country, not Mel Gibson from The Patriot. So a Native American was chosen. (they also noted how difficult it was to find a Native American actor who hadn't been in Twilight) They finally noted to the very British audience that AC3 was not about the Revolution, it was merely as a backdrop to their own story, and that everyone is actually British in the game "until the end" - perhaps hinting the game will finish on July 4th perhaps?


Bearded lady
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Annie Jones toured with P.T. Barnum's circus in the 19th century.
A bearded lady or bearded woman is a woman who has a visible beard. These women have long been a phenomenon of legend, curiosity, or ridicule.
A relatively small number of women are able to grow enough facial hair to have a distinct beard. In some cases, female beard growth is the result of a hormonal imbalance (usually androgen excess), or a rare genetic disorder known as hypertrichosis.[1] Sometimes it is caused by use of anabolic steroids. Cultural pressure leads most to remove it, as it may be viewed as a social stigma. Notable exceptions were the famous (and usually false) bearded women of the circus sideshows of the 19th and early 20th centuries, before freak shows became unpopular.

The SynthesizeGraph Component
Graph construction involves creating embeddings for text samples and then using a similarity function to compare the embeddings.
We will use pretrained Swivel embeddings to create embeddings in the tf.train.Example format for each sample in the input. We will store the resulting embeddings in the TFRecord format along with the sample's ID. This is important and will allow us match sample embeddings with corresponding nodes in the graph later.
Once we have the sample embeddings, we will use them to build a similarity graph, i.e, nodes in this graph will correspond to samples and edges in this graph will correspond to similarity between pairs of nodes.
Neural Structured Learning provides a graph building library to build a graph based on sample embeddings. It uses cosine similarity as the similarity measure to compare embeddings and build edges between them. It also allows us to specify a similarity threshold, which can be used to discard dissimilar edges from the final graph. In the following example, using 0.99 as the similarity threshold, we end up with a graph that has 111,066 bi-directional edges.

the database, place it in session, and populate the chart data passed to Flash with some default data. On successive calls to updateChart with updated chartParams, ChartData returns different slices of the dataSet.
Some auxiliary functions filter the dataSet and create the topology that will allow the client to drill down and summarize. Among the class variables is the database connection information; you may have to change these to match your local environment. In a Nutshell
As external ActionScript 2.0 scripts, much like Java class files, may only implement classes and import other classes, a wrapper class defines the behaviors the movie should exhibit. From the perspective of code reuse and change control, this pattern is preferable to spreading little bits of code across a Flash movie.
One exception is animation effect-specific code; such code is usually brief and drives purely aesthetic functions of the movie. In our example, the movieClip "bar" has some attached ActionScript to produce the "growing bars" effect. The wrapper class in the example, chartExampleActions, has the following important points:
PHPObject.defaultGatewayKey = "secret";
PHPObject.defaultGatewayUrl = "http://localhost/oclflash/Gateway.php";
_root.chartData = new PHPObject("ChartData");
This sets the "secret key" and the location of the gateway and creates an instance of ChartData, making it available to the Flash movie. As soon as the constructor successfully completes in PHP, it will trigger the onInit method you define for your instance:
_root.chartData.onInit = function() {
 chart.throbber._visible = false;
 chart.chartTitle.text = this.valueColumn;
 for(var a in this.axes){
Similarly, on successive calls to updateChart, ChartData fires the onResult method:
_root.chartData.onResult = function() {
 _root.chart.throbber._visible = false;
The other important function, drawChart, does the work of actually building the chart, adding logic and interactivity. With the chart.fla file open in the Flash environment, choosing File->Publish... will create an updated version of the swf in in your application directory. This will be necessary if you wish to serve application from a different location than the sample code is expecting.
On a Need-to-Know Basis
As I mentioned previously, PHPObject passes a synchronized copy of an object between Flash and PHP. Since many queries can result in large datasets, it is not always desirable to make these available to Flash. As you are only showing a slice of the results at a time, you can store the rest of data in the PHP session after retrieving it from Oracle. It will be available when next the server processes the object, but won't be passed to the client. Make sure you either have session_autostart enabled on your server or specify session_register() within your classfile—a more precise method and the one used here.
Furthermore, you can hide class functions from Flash (they won't be callable by the client) by setting an explicit list of client-visible functions. In our example, you only want to expose updateChart:
public $classMethods = array("updateChart");
By the way, remember that any remoting solution introduces some security risk to an application. No exhaustive checking is performed of the serialized object returned to PHP by Flash, an advantage of AMFPHP. A PHPObject class, like any regular PHP script, should never implement a means of executing arbitrary SQL on your database.
Flash provides a compelling means of deploying interactive Web elements, and using PHP with PHPObject serves as an efficient means of integrating Oracle data into an interactive component. Before immediately jumping on another interactivity bandwagon, try this one; it offers a great balance of development ease and browser support.

What is a test pattern?
It is a picture or pattern that is broadcasted so that the quality of the television picture received can be examined and improved if necessary by using the controls on the equipment.
History of test pattern
During 1939, the Indian Head test pattern was developed for testing. It often appeared just before the broadcasting started in the morning and just after the broadcast ended at night. The Indian head image was integrated into lines and patterns which was used for calibrating broadcast equipment. This was then later replaced by color bars when in the year 1960 the color television made its debut.
Color test pattern
Color test patterns is the process through which one can recognize patterns using a machine learning algorithm. Pattern recognition can also be defined as the classification of data based on information already gained on statistical information that is taken from patterns and their representation. One of the important aspects of pattern recognition is the application potential.

Rem is used to include remarks, or comments, as text which is never executed, in a program. The optional component, remarks, is any text. If used as the last of multiple statements on a single line, Rem must be separated from the previous statement by a colon (:). The apostrophe (') synonym is similar to using Rem, but no space is required between the apostrophe and the remarks, and no separating colon is needed on multi-statement lines.
Do not put the string into a comment - it will stop the interpretation of the code.

The upper reaches of the River Azusa in central Japan is a gravel-bed braided river flowing down the Northern Japan Alps. In this reaches landforms of the riverbed change yearly or once a couple of years. This study aims to clarify the relationships between rainfall, water level fluctuation and landform changes. The observation using interval shooting cameras has carried out since July, 2011. These have taken the images of the riverbed and recorded the conditions in every 15 or 20 minutes. The results are as follows. Despite relatively large drainage basin rainfall-runoff response is quite fast. About 30 minutes after the start of a rainfall the water level began to rise. The amount of the water level rise to the rainfall was different when the rainfall event occurred. During the Baiu rainy season the relatively less rainfall caused larger water level rise than after the end of the Baiu. Only one major landform change event was recorded during the observation. It occurred on 19 June, 2013. The heavy rain recorded 166 mm of the daily rainfall caused bankfull discharge, which was about 1 meter water level rise. These relationships between rainfall, water level rise and landform changes was caused by the geomorphological characteristics of the Kamikochi valley, which has thick gravel deposits more than several tens of meters and their water storage characteristics.


so that, if you want to update your immutable object and get a copy, you say
 val newObj = obj.copy(
 prop = value
 1. Aug 19, 2011
 One of the main advantages of first class properties is that it allows simple meta-programming, e.g. in binding frameworks. Would that be possible with the proposed copy() method? Would there be a way to invoke copy() without explicitly referring to the argument names?
 If this isn't possible with the copy() method it would be impossible to use immutable objects in certain situations and that would be a shame.
 1. Aug 19, 2011
 Could you describe the use case you have in mind?
 1. Aug 19, 2011
 I think it would be useful wherever you want to bind property values and update them. Let's say I was writing a Wicket application and I wanted to create a page to update an object. I would implement the IModel interface to wrap a property and pass an instance of the model to each form object.
 For a mutable class the model implementation would look like this:
 class MutablePropertyModel(prop : Property) : IModel {
 fun getObject() : T {
 return prop.get()
 fun setObject(newValue : T) {
 For an immutable class with setters that return an updated object the model implementation would be something like:
 // U is the type of the model object that owns the property
 // ref holds the model object - ref is obviously necessary because the object can't be updated
 class ImmutablePropertyModel(prop : ImmutableProperty, ref : AtomicReference) : IModel {
 fun getObject() : T {
 return prop.get()
 fun setObject(newValue : T) {
 I've done something very similar in Clojure where the model object was an immutable map. Is there a way to implement something like this using the copy() method?
 Another obvious example is setting an object's state some other format. e.g. some properties
 var foo = Foo()
 // for each property
 val propName = ...
 val propValue = ...
 val prop = // get the property by name
 foo = prop.set(propValue)

 I have a couple questions.
 1. A val property has a final backing field. That fact, combined with the meaning of val when used with local variables, implies to me that such a property should always return the same object (you also describe it as an "immutable property"). That is not the case, though, as the property's get method can return anything. One of the examples above shows a property that will change values as other properties change:
 A val property could in fact be fully mutable, by just delegating get to return the value of a separate var property in the class. This seems confusing. I guess this isn't really a question, but I was wondering about your thoughts on that.
 2. The second question relates to this example:
 In this example, clearly we would like the type of table to be Map rather than Map?. I believe I saw the same example elsewhere in this wiki except using the non-nullable type for table.
 The implementation of get() certainly appears to ensure it's returning a non-null value, but what if there were another method that could set _table to null? If that happened on another thread, _table could be null when get() returns it. It seems like the compiler would need to know there were no potential concurrency issues like that to be able to guarantee the property's type of Map. Has there been any consideration of that sort of thing?
 1. Oct 17, 2011
 1. I agree that it's not fully correct to describe val as an immutable property. It is actually a property that can not be assigned to (mutated directly).
 2. This is a mistake in the example. It would not compile unless we say something like
 return _table ?: throw AssertionError()
 Thank you for pointing these things out, I'll fix them in the text
 1. Oct 25, 2011
 If you are going to do that, wouldn't you want to declare the public property as "publicvaltable:Map" instead of "publicvaltable:Map?"? Otherwise, the method is declared as nullable even though it can never return null.
 You could also simplify to "throw _table.npe();"
 1. Oct 25, 2011
 Oh, thank you so much for noticing, I sincerely believed I made the public one non-null.
 On the.npe(): I don't use it here for the text to be easier to understand.

 causes deadly recursion. It is a mistake, I forgot to put $. Rather common mistake remembering my properties experience in C#.
 i think it will be really usefull to permit accessing property in it's getter o setter, only accessing accessor is aloud.
 for some cases where somebody need to call get() inside get() (me, personaly, can't imagine such a case) there should be some
 special syntax like
 get() = get()
 get() = $x.get()
 which will replace
 get() = x
 1. Apr 24, 2012
 Your concern is valid, indeed.
 get() = get()
 Looks too weird, and wouldn't work, because there may be a normal function called get().
 get() = $x.get()
 is ambiguous: $x may be, for example, of type List and have a member function get().
 1. Apr 25, 2012
 I thout a bit on workaround. I can not imagine any usecase when recursion is needed. Is there any one in your code base?
 I see two options:
 1. Just permit. Property is the thing you get or set, but do not count. If you want fancy logic -- use function instead. (You also can write recursive function and use it inside getter).
 2. As it is in null safety, when you are going to write some unsafe code, you use "!!", so the sintax can be like
 var x : Int
 get() =!!x;
 1. Apr 25, 2012
 Recursion is unlikely to be needed. Feel free to file an issue about prohibiting recursion in getters.
 The second suggestion will be confusing, because!!x looks like double negation.
 1. Apr 25, 2012
 Wonder how C# code like this will looks like in Kotlin?
 1. Apr 25, 2012
 class Foo {
 public open val value : Int
 get() = ...
 class Bar : Foo() {
 override val value : Int
 get() = super.value + 42
 13. Jul 05, 2012
 Why can't I have property without get and init value? like this:
 var property: Type
 set(value) = doSomething(value)
 1. Jul 06, 2012
 The rule is that if a getter or a setter is not present, it is implemented by default: i.e. by using a backing field. A backing field demands initialization
 14. Jul 12, 2012
 Very good work and there is a lot of things that I like in C# and Scala here... but one more question about the properties.
 The Kotlin compiler generates for each readable and writable property a get/set pair of methods... so far so good!
 But why not to make the inverse valid? When using some Java class with a get and set property, like getName() and setName(String name),
 why not allow to omit the get and set prefixes, just like the groovy (ie. val a =

POE 3.4 Delve: How to Easily Find Hidden Paths
GM2V Date: Oct/07/18 16:26:41 Views: 5663
Within the Delve, the label of the room will appear around the map, but there is no direct passage to go. This demands the use of torches and explosives to explore. But we've got a technique to rule out which roads are likely to result in hidden rooms. This guide will show you tips on how to swiftly obtain the ideal path in restricted possibilities.
POE 3.4 Delve: How to Easily Find Hidden Paths
Start Seeking
We are able to see some hidden nodes when we explore the map, and you will find no apparent paths leading to these nodes.
Some are much more worthwhile, special nodes, like talisman or abyss.
The node asks you to blow up fractured walls to seek out a path to this encounter
It is an encounter just like each other node so far.
This implies that you will be at some point going to escort the crawler to it so as to claim your prize.
Thus, there might be a clear path among some other node and this hidden 1, where the crawler will travel.
So that you can determine where this hidden path is, we need to 1st consider how paths connect to each other. Listed here are some guidelines you'll be able to figure out based on the delve map:
The delve map is a grid
four paths max to a node, 1 each direction, no diagonals.
1 path per non-node square, no overlapping paths
Nodes have either 1, three or four connections, but not two.
2-path nodes have a hidden, third path.
Dead ends never have hidden paths.
The way to uncover the true path
Probable paths
Because the rule: Nodes have either 1, three or four connections, but not 2.
So we are able to rule out the following possibilities
Obtaining the point in the map
Keep in mind that this node will at some point possess a crawler operating to it. This means the cart will lead out of your center checkpoint and towards the side with the map that goes within the proper direction.
The wall will probably be discovered someplace along the predicted path from the crawler.
If you are exploring, most of the time you could just rush into the darkness together with your quicksilver flask or movement ability, fill out the mini-map, then get back into the light and critique the mini-map. You aren't wanting to visually search the region. That little level of exploring might be adequate to find out if it really is there or not.
Do not neglect to upgrade your darkness resistance when you do this, although.
Now let's examine the remaining attainable paths one by one particular.
Path 1
No luck. There does not appear like there's a path within the appropriate path, towards the best proper. Of course, this element is often a straight mineshaft, but for those who don't find anything within around one particular screen of your candle checkpoint, then it is not there. Go to another attainable path.
Path 3
Very same issue. There is certainly no path inside the expected path, within the bottom suitable.
Go to a different achievable path.
Path 2
We discover a path in the major correct? Let's throw down some flares and appear a bit additional!
Good results! Notice the rocky searching mini-map icon. It'll show up when you get close sufficient to it.
Test your findings
Now you might have discovered the wall, you will need to bring flares to survive and a few dynamite to bring it down. Dynamite now one-shots walls every single time. That implies that the number of dynamite is almost certainly one of the most valuable upgrades, although they could apparently be employed to deal tons of harm to mobs/bosses.
Now you might have found the wall, you will need to bring flares to survive and a few dynamite to bring it down. Dynamite now one-shots walls each time. That implies that the amount of dynamite is likely one of the most valuable upgrades, even though they could apparently be made use of to deal tons of damage to mobs/bosses.

Mienshao seems to be based on an ermine and also seems to have drawn inspiration from whip fighting as well as a variety of martial arts, such as Shaolin Kung Fu. The fur on its arms also resemble the shuixiu (水袖) or "water sleeves", which are long, white, flowing sleeves used by performers of Chinese operas to express the emotions of their character.
Mienshao, according to Bulbapedia, is based on an ermine, not a ferret. However, on the Wikipedia page linked in the Bulbapedia article, it states that ermines belong to the Mustelidae family, which includes ferrets, along with weasels. The Bulbapedia page also states that the literal translation for Mienshao's Mandarin Chinese name is "master weasel", and, on Mienfoo's page, it states that its name in the same language literally translates to "Kung-Fu weasel".
