text: Formed in Portugal in 1797, The Cacadore Infantry were very similar to the German Jager Rifle Regiments. They too were Hunters and Trappers. As "backwoods men" they had very special skills well suited for Scouting and Skirmishing. Speculated that The Cacadores were "born from" the fusion of The Royal Volunteers and The Light Troops Legion, after the defeat by The French during The Pyrenees War - the need for a disciplined and motivated Unit was important. Requesting British assistance, The Cacadores were formed. The Unit accepted only men with proven abilities as crack shot. So much so, that many were excellent long-distance shooters. The Cacadores may well have been one of the first Sniper Units. They were set apart from the Regular Army by their Brown and Tan uniforms. The Cacadores distinguished themselves against The French during The Peninsular War. They were nicknamed "The Fighting Cocks" for their similarity to the fighting game bird. Cacadores (in many forms) existed with The Portuguese Army until 1975.

alm OS-based handhelds and smartphones are powerful, pervasive computing devices that have changed the lives of many users through the applications they house. As a Java developer, why not tap into this widely used platform? You can develop applications for Palm and this article shows you how. Learn how to create a small Java application (more specifically, a MIDlet) and deploy it to an emulated Palm device. The instructions assume that you are familiar with MIDlet programming.
To create a J2ME application for the Palm OS, you need to convert your MIDlet to a PRC (Pilot Resource Code). This article first walks you through the creation of a simple MIDlet and then onto the MIDlet-to-PRC conversion.
Set Up Your Palm OS Emulator
Before you begin programming, set up an environment that emulates the Palm-powered handheld. Download
the PalmOS Emulator, Palm OS Emulator Skins, and the ROM images. In order to download these, you need to join the Palm OS Developer Program (a free process). The Palm OS Emulator is available for Windows, MacOS, and Unix. The emulator download includes a PDF document "Using Palm OS Emulator" that breaks down how to install and use the Palm OS emulator.
To get started, unzip the emulator and ROM zip files into a directory of your choice. Unzip the skins file to a subdirectory called Skins under the directory you created and then run Emulator.exe. Next, choose the option to start a new emulator session, as shown in Figure 1.
|Figure 1: Starting a New Emulator Session|
In the subsequent New Session screen (see Figure 2), use the GUI to point to the ROM file that you extracted.
|Figure 2: Pointing the Session to a ROM File|
After pointing to the ROM file, you will see which devices are supported under the ROM file (see Figure 3). Also, pick a Skin that you would like to use. I chose the Standard-English Skin as shown in Figure 3. Next, click OK.
|Figure 3: Specifying More Options for Your Emulator Session|
At this point, you should see the emulator running as shown in Figure 4.
The emulator you see runs Palm OS. To run Java programs, a Palm device (emulated or the real thing) needs to have a J2ME application runtime environment installed. You will install one next. Keep the Palm emulator running for now.

Heat Resource Plug-in Development Guide
Heat allows service providers to extend the capabilities of the orchestration service by writing their own resource plug-ins. These plug-ins are written in Python and included in a directory configured by the service provider. This guide describes a resource plug-in structure and life cycle in order to assist developers in writing their own resource plug-ins.
Resource Plug-in Life Cycle
A resource plug-in is relatively simple in that it needs to extend a base Resource class and implement some relevant life cycle handler methods. The basic life cycle methods of a resource are:
create
The plug-in should create a new physical resource.
update
The plug-in should update an existing resource with new configuration or tell the engine that the resource must be destroyed and re-created. This method is optional; the default behavior is to create a replacement resource and then delete the old resource.
suspend
The plug-in should suspend operation of the physical resource; this is an optional operation.
resume
The plug-in should resume operation of the physical resource; this is an optional operation.
delete
The plug-in should delete the physical resource.
The base class Resource implements each of these life cycle methods and defines one or more handler methods that plug-ins can implement in order to manifest and manage the actual physical resource abstracted by the plug-in. These handler methods will be described in detail in the following sections.
Heat Resource Base Class
Plug-ins must extend the class heat.engine.resource.Resource.
This class is responsible for managing the overall life cycle of the plug-in. It defines methods corresponding to the life cycle as well as the basic hooks for plug-ins to handle the work of communicating with specific down-stream services. For example, when the engine determines it is time to create a resource, it calls the create method of the applicable plug-in. This method is implemented in the Resource base class and handles most of the bookkeeping and interaction with the engine. This method then calls a handle_create method defined in the plug-in class (if implemented) which is responsible for using specific service calls or other methods needed to instantiate the desired physical resource (server, network, volume, etc).
Resource Status and Action
The base class handles reporting state of the resource back to the engine. A resource's state is the combination of the life cycle action and the status of that action. For example, if a resource is created successfully, the state of that resource will be CREATE_COMPLETE. Alternatively, if the plug-in encounters an error when attempting to create the physical resource, the state would be CREATE_FAILED. The base class handles the reporting and persisting of resource state, so a plug-in's handler methods only need to return data or raise exceptions as appropriate.
Resource Support Status
New resource should be marked from which OpenStack release it will be available with support_status option. For more details, see Heat Support Status usage Guide.
Resource description
An important part of future resources is a concisely written description. It should be in class docstring and contain information about the resource and how it could be useful to the end-user. The docstring description is used in documentation generation and should be always defined, if resource is designed for public use. Docstring should follows PEP 257.
class CustomResource(resource.Resource):
 """This custom resource has description.
 Now end-users could understand the meaning of the resource existing
 and will use it correctly without any additional questions.
 """
Properties and Attributes
A resource's properties define the settings the template author can manipulate when including that resource in a template. Some examples would be:
 - Which flavor and image to use for a Nova server
 - The port to listen to on Neutron LBaaS nodes
 - The size of a Cinder volume
Note
Properties should normally be accessed through self.properties. This resolves intrinsic functions, provides default values when required and performs property translation for backward compatible schema changes. The self.properties.data dict provides access to the raw data supplied by the user in the template without any of those transformations.
Attributes describe runtime state data of the physical resource that the plug-in can expose to other resources in a Stack. Generally, these aren't available until the physical resource has been created and is in a usable state. Some examples would be:
 - The host id of a Nova server
 - The status of a Neutron network
 - The creation time of a Cinder volume
Defining Resource Properties
Each property that a resource supports must be defined in a schema that informs the engine and validation logic what the properties are, what type each is, and validation constraints. The schema is a dictionary whose keys define property names and whose values describe the constraints on that property. This dictionary must be assigned to the properties_schema attribute of the plug-in.
from heat.common.i18n import _
from heat.engine import constraints
from heat.engine import properties
 nested_schema = {
 "foo": properties.Schema(
 properties.Schema.STRING,
 _('description of foo field'),
 constraints=[
 constraints.AllowedPattern('(Ba[rc]?)+'),
 constraints.Length(max=10,
 description="don't go crazy")
 ]
 )
 }
 properties_schema = {
 "property_name": properties.Schema(
 properties.Schema.MAP,
 _('Internationalized description of property'),
 required=True,
 default={"Foo": "Bar"},
 schema=nested_schema
 )
 }
As shown above, some properties may themselves be complex and reference nested schema definitions. Following are the parameters to the Schema constructor; all but the first have defaults.
data_type:
Defines the type of the property's value. The valid types are the members of the list properties.Schema.TYPES, currently INTEGER, STRING, NUMBER, BOOLEAN, MAP, LIST and ANY; please use those symbolic names rather than the literals to which they are equated. For LIST and MAP type properties, the schema referenced constrains the format of complex items in the list or map.
description:
A description of the property and its function; also used in documentation generation. Default is None — but you should always provide a description.
default:
The default value to assign to this property if none was supplied in the template. Default is None.
schema:
This property's value is complex and its members must conform to this referenced schema in order to be valid. The referenced schema dictionary has the same format as the properties_schema. Default is None.
required:
True if the property must have a value for the template to be valid; False otherwise. The default is False
constraints:
A list of constraints that apply to the property's value. See Property Constraints.
update_allowed:
True if an existing resource can be updated, False means update is accomplished by delete and re-create. Default is False.
immutable:
True means updates are not supported, resource update will fail on every change of this property. False otherwise. Default is False.
support_status:
Defines current status of the property. Read Heat Support Status usage Guide for details.
Accessing property values of the plug-in at runtime is then a simple call to:
self.properties['PropertyName']
Based on the property type, properties without a set value will return the default "empty" value for that type:
Type
Empty Value
String
''
Number
0
Integer
0
List
[]
Map
{}
Boolean
False
Property Constraints
Following are the available kinds of constraints. The description is optional and, if given, states the constraint in plain language for the end user.
AllowedPattern(regex, description):
Constrains the value to match the given regular expression; applicable to STRING.
AllowedValues(allowed, description):
Lists the allowed values. allowed must be a collections.abc.Sequence or string. Applicable to all types of value except MAP.
Length(min, max, description):
Constrains the length of the value. Applicable to STRING, LIST, MAP. Both min and max default to None.
Range(min, max, description):
Constrains a numerical value. Applicable to INTEGER and NUMBER. Both min and max default to None.
Modulo(step, offset, description):
Starting with the specified offset, every multiple of step is a valid value. Applicable to INTEGER and NUMBER.
Available from template version 2017-02-24.
CustomConstraint(name, description, environment):
This constructor brings in a named constraint class from an environment. If the given environment is None (its default) then the environment used is the global one.
Defining Resource Attributes
Attributes communicate runtime state of the physical resource. Note that some plug-ins do not define any attributes and doing so is optional. If the plug-in needs to expose attributes, it will define an attributes_schema similar to the properties schema described above. Each item in the schema dictionary consists of an attribute name and an attribute Schema object.
attributes_schema = {
 "foo": attributes.Schema(
 _("The foo attribute"),
 type=attribute.Schema.STRING
 ),
 "bar": attributes.Schema(
 _("The bar attribute"),
 type=attribute.Schema.STRING
 ),
 "baz": attributes.Schema(
 _("The baz attribute"),
 type=attribute.Schema.STRING
 )
}
Following are the parameters to the Schema.
description
A description of the attribute; also used in documentation generation. Default is None — but you

The Geology, Geography, and Environmental Studies department has recently renovated the artificial on-campus dune known as Perseverance by adding almost 189 tons of sand. This addition created a blowout dune on top of the original dune, which was first created in August 2020.
Located between Prince Conference Center and the Calvin Ecosystem Preserve, the dune was originally created as a COVID contingency plan for the First-Year Research in Earth Sciences course. Vehicle capacity restrictions prevented research excursions to Lake Michigan dunes, where the program usually takes place.
Geography professor Deanna van Dijk, who initiated building the Perseverance Dune, told Chimes she is excited for its future and is certain that it is now a permanent feature on campus.
The FYRES class itself will be returning to natural dunes to conduct most of their class activity and research this year. Yet the Perseverance Dune remains a unique asset to the program and other Calvin courses.
The artificial dune serves as an outdoor lab for the FYRES course itself. It allows students to try out methods and prepare for fieldwork in a dune-like environment, according to van Dijk. For example, the students are now able to experiment with actual dune plants collected from Perseverance, instead of substitutes.
Professor Dave Warners of the Biology department gifted the dune plants to Professor van Dijk when the artificial dune was first built. A year ago they would not have been noticeable, but now make up a significant part of the perimeter of the dune.
"I'm pretty amazed too. We put very small plants into the sand, and so what you are seeing … that's all been growth this year," van Dijk said.
As an enclosed, more easily controlled environmental lab that simulates real dune conditions, Perseverance allows research that is not viable on Lake Michigan dunes. For example, one student research group deliberately trampled dune plants in order to find out whether they would survive and continue to stabilize the dune surface. Deliberate trampling of dune plants, even for research, would not have been allowed on actual Lake Michigan dunes.
For Professor Dave Warners of the Biology department, the Perseverance Dune has also presented many unique opportunities for teaching and research. This semester, he'll be using the artificial dune as a lab for his Restoration Ecology class, in which students will work on processing stormwater runoff by using a part of the dune where water flows downhill. Students will formulate their own experimental research projects based on Perseverance Dune and its dune plants, and these projects will be carried on by future students, collecting data over the course of years.
The Calvin Ecosystem Preserve, which has officially integrated the dune into the preserve, will also be using Perseverance Dune for public outreach and educational demonstrations.

As someone who's all about giving wigs that personal touch, I get the curiosity around bleaching synthetic strands. You know, we've got the whole deal with human hair being a champ with different treatments, but what about our synthetic pals? Well, let's dive into the nitty-gritty of bleaching synthetic wigs – understanding what these fibers are made of and how to safely lighten them. Whether you're eyeing a cool ombre, an all-over lighter vibe, or some vibrant highlights, let's go on this journey together. We'll unravel the ins and outs of bleaching synthetic wigs, discovering the cool possibilities and, of course, the quirks that come with giving your wig that unique, tailored look!
Can you bleach a synthetic wig?
Yes, it is possible to bleach synthetic wigs, but it is not commonly recommended. Bleaching synthetic hair involves a process that removes color from the strands, and it can be challenging. The synthetic fibers may not react well to the chemicals used in the bleaching process, leading to potential damage to the wig. While some sources suggest using hydrogen peroxide and baking soda in specific proportions for bleaching synthetic wigs, it's essential to approach this cautiously. The process can be difficult, and there's a risk of compromising the integrity of the synthetic strands.
How to bleach a synthetic wig properly?
Bleaching a synthetic wig is possible, but it's a delicate process that requires caution. While traditional hair bleach may not be as effective on synthetic fibers, a common method involves using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Here's a general guide:
Prepare the mixture
To prepare the mixture for bleaching a synthetic wig, it's essential to create a blend that is both effective and safe for the delicate synthetic fibers. Begin by measuring 1½ teaspoons of a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and combining it with 2 teaspoons of baking soda. This concoction forms the base for the bleaching process and should be mixed thoroughly until it reaches a consistent texture. The hydrogen peroxide acts as a lightening agent, while the baking soda helps enhance the lifting effect. It's crucial to wear protective gloves during this step to shield your hands from the chemicals. The accuracy of the measurements and the thorough mixing of the components are vital to ensure an even application of the bleach onto the synthetic wig. This mixture, when applied properly, initiates the color removal process, giving you control over the lightening effect on the wig's synthetic fibers.
Apply the mixture
Once the bleach mixture is prepared, the next step is the careful application onto the synthetic wig. Wearing protective gloves, gently and evenly apply the mixture to the desired areas of the wig where you intend to achieve a lightening effect. Use a brush or applicator for precise application, ensuring that each strand is adequately coated. The goal is to cover the targeted sections thoroughly while avoiding excessive saturation, as synthetic fibers can be sensitive to chemical treatments. Take your time during this step to guarantee an even distribution, and be attentive to any color changes as the mixture is applied. The application process is a crucial phase in achieving the desired result, and a meticulous approach will contribute to a more uniform and controlled bleaching outcome on the synthetic wig.
Let it sit
Allow the mixture to permeate the synthetic fibers for a specified duration, typically around 30 minutes. This waiting period is essential for the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to work their lightening magic. However, it's important to exercise caution and monitor the process closely. Synthetic wigs can react differently to bleach, and the waiting time may vary based on factors such as the wig's material and the desired lightening effect. Regularly check the wig during this interval to ensure that the bleaching is progressing as expected and to prevent over-processing, which could lead to damage. This waiting period is a delicate balance between achieving the desired lightening and preserving the integrity of the synthetic fibers, emphasizing the need for careful observation throughout the entire process.
Rinse and dry
Once the designated waiting period has elapsed, the next crucial step in the synthetic wig bleaching process is to thoroughly rinse and dry the wig. Begin by carefully rinsing the wig with cold water to remove the bleach mixture. Cold water is preferred as it helps to close the hair cuticles and reduce damage. Ensure that all traces of the bleach are completely washed out. Gently pat the wig dry with a clean towel to remove excess water, avoiding any vigorous rubbing that could potentially damage the synthetic fibers. Following the rinse, allow the wig to air dry naturally. Avoid heat styling immediately after bleaching, as the synthetic fibers may be more vulnerable during this post-bleaching phase. Proper rinsing and drying are essential to complete the process, leaving you with a beautifully bleached synthetic wig with a minimized risk of damage or color alteration
Monitor the process
During the bleaching process of a synthetic wig, monitoring is a crucial aspect to ensure optimal results without compromising the wig's integrity. Keep a close eye on the wig while the bleach mixture is working, checking for any signs of color change and assessing the lighting effect. Regular observations help prevent over-processing, a risk that could lead to damage or an uneven color outcome. The monitoring phase involves a delicate balance between achieving the desired lightening and preserving the synthetic fibers' quality. If you notice that the wig is lightening too quickly or unevenly, it might be necessary to rinse it off before the recommended time. This attentive approach allows for adjustments as needed, contributing to a successful and controlled bleaching process that enhances the appearance of the synthetic wig.
Can you bleach a wig with Clorox?
Bleaching a wig with Clorox (or any household bleach) is not recommended. Clorox contains harsh chemicals that can be extremely damaging to both human and synthetic hair. Synthetic wigs are made of delicate materials, often acrylic fibers, which are prone to damage when exposed to strong chemicals like bleach. Instead of using Clorox, it's advised to use safer and specifically formulated products for wig maintenance and coloring. Some sources suggest using baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for bleaching synthetic wigs. Additionally, caution should be exercised to protect the wig's hairline and cap during the bleaching process, with recommendations including the use of plastic wrap. If you're considering altering the color of your wig, it's best to follow a more gentle and wig-friendly bleaching process.
Will bleach melt synthetic hair?
Yes, bleach can potentially melt or damage synthetic hair. Synthetic fibers used in wigs are often made of materials like acrylic or other polymers, which can be sensitive to harsh chemicals such as bleach. When exposed to bleach, synthetic hair may melt, lose its texture, or become damaged. It's crucial to exercise caution when considering bleaching synthetic hair, as the process can lead to irreversible harm. While there are methods for bleaching synthetic wigs, they require careful attention to prevent over-processing and damage to the fibers. It's recommended to follow specific guidelines and use gentle techniques to minimize the risk of melting or altering the texture of synthetic hair during the bleaching process.
Bleaching synthetic wigs offers creative possibilities but requires caution due to the delicate nature of synthetic fibers. Proper preparation, application, monitoring, and gentle rinsing are crucial for success. The use of household bleach, like Clorox, is discouraged as it can cause irreversible damage. The risk of melting or altering the texture underscores the need for adherence to specific guidelines and gentle techniques. Achieving a beautifully transformed and well-maintained wig involves finding a delicate balance between creativity and preservation.

Philippines rare dwarf buffalo charges against extinction
An annual survey counted 382 tamaraws in a protected mountain area this year, an increase from 345 in 2013, according to data from the World Wildlife Fund. The tamaraw, famed for its distinct v-shaped horns, can be found only in the mountains of Mindoro, a farming island in the central Philippines. The stocky tamaraw, with its chocolate brown coat, runs wild in the forest and weighs half as much as the more common carabao, which is used by farmers in the Philippines to plough rice fields. "The tamaraw is the flagship species of the Philippines. It is our moral obligation and international commitment to preserve them," forest ranger Rodel Boyles, who heads a joint government and private sector conservation effort, told AFP. The tamaraw is considered "Critically endangered" - two steps away from extinction - by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Hunting and the destruction of their habitat to make way for grazing areas for cattle led to their near decimation, as the population fell from 10,000 in the 1900s to just 154 by 2000, according to the WWF. The government and private sector's Tamaraw Conservation Programme aims to double the dwarf buffalo's population from 300 in the mid-2000s to 600 by 2020, Gregg Yan, a local spokesman for the WWF told AFP. Boyles said conservationists had held meetings with locals to discourage them from eating tamaraw meat. The effort is paying off as the tamaraw population has been increasing every year for the last 12 years, WWF data shows.

"International Technology Diffusion: A Gravity Approach"
This paper investigates empirically the determinants of international technology licensing using data for 61 countries during _PHONE_. A multi-country one-sector model of innovation and diffusion with perfect enforcement of IPR yields a structural gravity equation for bilateral royalty payments as a function of economic fundamentals. The gravity equation is estimated using nonlinear methods. The model's fundamentals account for 45% of the variation in royalty payments. Other factors such as imperfect IPR protection and a country's production structure account for a substantial fraction of the unexplained variation, especially in developing countries. A back-of-the-envelop calculation suggests that perfect IPR enforcement in China would have led to 20% more technology transfers from the United States.

Understanding the Steps, Turns, and Footwork That Olympic Figure Skaters Perform
Every step or turn a figure skater does has a name. Can you identify the figure skating turns that are done on one foot? Next time you watch an elite ice skater do a step sequence, try to recognize at least one three turn, one bracket, one counter, and one rocker.
A new kind of scoring replaced the old 6.0 figure skating judging system and was created in response to the 2002 Olympic figure skating scandal. The idea was to attempt to make figure skating competitions more objective and fair.
Competitors are given two scores: a technical score and a program component score. The technical score is added together to the program component score and the result is the segment score. The sum of all the segment scores (the short program and the free skate) becomes the total competition score. The skater with the highest score wins.

At the Olympic Games, at least two different phases of a competition take place. This means that Olympic figure skaters do more than one performance before a champion is crowned. The winner of the first phase of an Olympic event may win an Olympic title, but there is a chance that someone else can "pull up" and become the Olympic Figure Skating Champion. In the final phase of Olympic figure skating competition, the skaters who place in the top four after the initial phase, compete last, so the last part of an Olympic figure skating event is the most exciting to watch!

Middle-class journeys: A comparative study of the residential and housing outcomes of Caribbean Latino, Black, and White native New Yorkers
Middle-Class Journeys: A Comparative Study of the Residential and Housing Outcomes of Caribbean Latino, Black, and White Native New Yorkers Dissertation directed by Clara Rodriguez, Ph.D. and E. Doyle McCarthy. Ph.D. Residence is an indicator of middle-class status in an qualitative study conducted of 57 Caribbean Latino and non-Hispanic Black and White native New Yorkers. This study centered on how respondents felt they were being treated in the housing market and in their residential searches, how they interacted with people in their neighborhoods and how they felt about their class standing in society. Class, race and ethnicity were found to influence housing choices and outcomes. The study compared respondents' (1.) residential aspirations and preferences, (2.) ideas about social mobility, and (3.) experiences with discrimination, segregation, gentrification, and homeownership. The study found that Caribbean Latino and Black respondents were remarkably similar in these three areas in contrast to Whites. Many of them were the first in their families to attain middle-class status, while most White respondents came from middle-class backgrounds. These different class backgrounds revealed disparities in where respondents came to reside and in their rates of homeownership. Whites described how they were supported by their parents' wealth and assets, making homeownership in New York City both easier and more accessible for them. In contrast, the ion-White counterparts opted to purchase homes outside of New York City: Latinos and Blacks also reported difficulties identifying as "middle-class" and reported on the strategies they used to navigate the foreclosure and current housing crisis. Being middle-class in income and occupation did not shield Caribbean Latino or Black respondents from housing discrimination. For, despite their "middle-class status, race and ethnicity worked against them in their middle-class journeys for home ownership. ^

A comparative study was performed between a novel transpedicular implant (V-STRUT©, Hyprevention, France) and vertebroplasty. This study aims to assess the biomechanical efficacy of this implant in resurrecting and fortifying the osteoporotic vertebra following a vertebral body fracture.A total of 17 vertebrae from 3 human osteoporotic spine segments (T9-L5) were selected. Vertebral compression fractures were generated by eccentric compressive loading until a height reduction of 25%. Then the vertebrae were either fixed using vertebroplasty technique (control group; n = 8) or implanted with V-STRUT© implant combined with bone cement (device group; n = 9). A new compressive loading was performed in the same conditions. Maximal load and stiffness, as well as total energy to fracture were measured.Fracture force and energy to fracture were both increased either after V-STRUT© implantation or vertebroplasty compared to when the initial fracture was generated. Mean increase percentage between the initial value and the post-treatment value for each parameter were +77% vs +39% regarding fracture load and +126% vs +99% for energy to fracture, for the device group vs vertebroplasty group respectively. No pedicle fractures were observed in both groups, nor implant breaking or bending in the device group.These results show the ability of V-STRUT© combined with bone cement to reinforce the vertebral body strength, with an at least equivalent biomechanical performance as vertebroplasty. Further clinical investigation needs to be undertaken to demonstrate any clinical superiority of V-STRUT© over vertebroplasty.A transpedicular device for vertebral compression fracture fixation was assessed.The device increases both load and energy to re-fracture of the vertebrae.The device is at least biomechanically equivalent to vertebroplasty.No pedicle fractures, implant breaking or bending were observed in both groups.


The Top 3 Commercial Door Repairs
Commercial doors are essential to the overall safety and security of any commercial space. It is imperative that you monitor the condition of your commercial doors closely. If you allow your doors to fall into disrepair, you make it easier for your commercial space to fall victim to theft.
Many business owners have discovered that there are a few common problems that plague their commercial doors. Learn more about these problems so that you will be prepared to make timely repairs.
1. Hardware Damage
The average commercial door sees significantly more use during the course of a day than a residential door would. Employees and customers are constantly entering and exiting your commercial space, which can put your door's hardware at risk of sustaining damage.
Be sure that you conduct routine inspections of your door to check for loose handles, damaged springs, or bent hinges. Repairing these small hardware issues as soon as they arise will help you avoid a more serious malfunction in the future.
2. Bent Frame
Your commercial door frame supports the weight of the door. If this frame becomes bent, you may experience problems opening and closing the door smoothly. A bent door frame is a weak point that can make it easier for would-be criminals to enter your commercial space.
It's important that you address any frame damage to your commercial door with an alignment service. An experienced technician can correct the frame damage to restore proper function to your door.
This will enhance the overall accessibility of your commercial space for customers and employees and ensure that your space remains safe and secure.
3. Damaged Seal
Commercial doors are typically equipped with rubber seals. The primary role of these seals is to prevent any air from passing between the door and the frame. Damaged seals can have a negative impact on your company's bottom line.
Air transfer makes it difficult to regulate indoor temperatures, requiring you to rely more heavily on your building's HVAC system. You will likely see an increase in heating and cooling costs when your commercial door seals are damaged.
A technician can replace damaged seals to restore the airtight seal of your commercial door.
Proper maintenance and timely repairs are essential if you want to keep your commercial door functioning properly.
Keep an eye on the hardware, frame, and seals of your door so that you can invest in the repair of these elements before minor damage becomes a major problem. Contact a company that offers commercial door repair services to learn more.

Playground accessibility and usability for children with disabilities experiences of children, parents and professionals
Sammanfattning: Studies have identified barriers in the physical environment causing restricted participation in play activities for children with disabilities. Therefore, was the overall aim of this thesis to identify and explore aspects of playground accessibility and usability for children with disabilities based on the experiences of children, parents and professionals. The design of the thesis includes four studies examining different aspects of playground accessibility and usability. Data were collected in Study I through interviews with creators of playgrounds (i.e., persons in a municipality responsible for playgrounds), and with users of playgrounds (i.e., children with restricted mobility, and adults that accompany the children to playgrounds). Data in Study II were collected using a questionnaire completed by persons responsible for playgrounds in 41 municipalities of northern Sweden. In Study III, data were collected through interviews of children with different abilities and in Study IV parents of children with disabilities were interviewed regarding playground design. Data from the interviews were analysed qualitatively while data from the questionnaire were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results of the studies showed that persons responsible for playgrounds have not always considered accessibility for children with disabilities. In fact, many of them had never thought about the issue and also expressed a lack of knowledge needed for building accessible playgrounds (I, II). Further, based on children's experience, playgrounds are important environments for all children, but these are not accessible and usable for all (III). According to the parents, playgrounds do not support play or social interaction for children with disabilities and the design of most playgrounds made their children dependent on adult support. This in turn limited contact with peers and causing the children a sense of being different (IV). To conclude, the results showed that playgrounds are not an accessible or usable environment for many children with disabilities in Sweden. This has affected children with disabilities in negative ways that in turn can cause play deprivation, dependency and stigmatization. The results also indicated that there seems to be lack of awareness regarding children's rights in society and legislation that governs playgrounds.

In a longtable, how do I retrieve the width of the longest line for each column?
I'd like to use the longtable environment in combination with the ltablex package. The latter allows for weighting the columns, such that column 2 is twice as large as column 1, for instance.
I have many tables to format, and due to their data source it's not possible to give the tables any hint on column widths. As often there is a lot of text in one or two columns, but little text in the others, it doesn't make sense to just use X columns. Therefore, I'd like to dynamically adjust the proportions of the table.
My idea is to find the width of the longest line of each column. Using these width it should then be possible to calculate the proportions correctly (while granting each column a mininum width).
Thanks for your help!

That is essentially a description of tabulary as opposed to tabularx so you can look in the source of that package for how to do it, but in particular there is a merge of tabulary and longtable here:

Trees Come 'From Out Of The Air' Says Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman. Really?
Originally published on Tue September 25, 2012 4:05 pm
Ask one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century a simple question, and his answer makes me go, "What? What did he just say?"
The question was: Where do trees come from?
Meaning, when you see a tree, a big, tall, heavy one, and you wonder where did it get its mass, its thick trunk, its branches — the instinctive answer would be from the soil below, plus a little water (and, in some mysterious way, sunshine), right?
Nope, says the late Nobel laureate Richard Feynman, sitting in an easy chair, thinking out loud in a You Tube video clip from 1983: "People look at a tree and think it comes out of the ground, that plants grow out of the ground, " he says, but "if you ask, where does the substance [of the tree] come from? You find out... trees come out of the air!"
From the air? Trees are hard, branchy, heavy, covered with bark. They don't precipitate out of air. This sounds like sorcery, not science.
But then Feynman says it again, "They surely... come out of the air."
If you are wondering how tons of wood, leaf, bark and all the innards of, say, a massive redwood tree can get pulled out of air, you'll want to hear Feynman's explanation, which is mostly him happily arguing with himself. ("How is it the tree is so smart... and do that so easily? Ah! Life! Life has some mysterious force? No!...")
But before you go to Feynman, it's best to start here, with this primer from Derek Miller of Australia's science video site, Veritasium. "Would it surprise you," Derek asks three young guys in a park — one of them wearing a T-shirt that says "living the dreem," "to discover that 95 percent of a tree is actually from carbon dioxide, that trees are largely made up of air?" The guys smile politely and say, "Ummmm... OK... "
I think, watching this video, you'll be more surprised than they were.
So that's the lesson: that a tree gets its mass from air and water. It "eats" air, chomps down on airborne carbon dioxide, then uses sunshine to pull the carbon dioxide apart, gets rid of the oxygen, which "it spits back into the air," says Feynman, "leaving the carbon and water, the stuff to make the substance of the tree."
But wait a second! Water is in the ground, right? Water is not in the air. Ah, says Feynman, but how did water get into the ground? "It came mostly out of the air, didn't it?" Waving his hands, he says rain "came out of the sky."
What a beautiful notion, that from the dancing air comes the towering monarchs that are our trees. But don't take my word for it, or Derek's. You're now ready to hear it from the Big Guy. When this begins, he's talking about fire. He gets to trees about two minutes in.

TSO Logic Application-Aware Power Management | TSO Logic
"This seems like a big idea with scalable applications and material impact. New ways of delivering decision-quality data and actionable analysis is a very useful contribution!"
--Environmental Leader Product & Project Awards judge
TSO Logic's Application-Aware Power Management software enables companies to cut their energy costs and environmental impact by providing deep-level visibility and control over power consumption in datacenters. Taking advantage of periods of low workload, power usage can be reduced as much as 50%, resulting in significant reductions in carbon emissions and operating expenses. TSO's software correlates power usage/costs and IT workload across individual servers and applications. This allows companies to identify idle or underutilized servers for precise capacity planning, attach power costs to individual applications, measure and track carbon emissions, track wasted energy usage/costs, perform capacity shifting to optimize capacity levels and provide tracking of efficiency/performance improvements to meet sustainability objectives. It operates without any impact to datacenter performance or the user's experience and requires no additional hardware, agent software, or disruptive changes to the infrastructure.
TSO Logic image reducedDatacenters consume 3% of global electricity production, yet the average datacenter wastes as much as 90% of electrical energy on idle servers, the company says. Datacenters have highly variable workloads, but to prepare for spikes in demand, servers run at full power 24/7, even when there is no revenue to justify the cost. TSO Logic says its solution is unique in its ability to intuitively power control servers to eliminate the energy and heat generated from idle servers, thereby improving efficiency. It provides visibility to measure and track data such as transaction costs per kWh, cost per application and other metrics that demonstrate how application performance can affect power costs, environmental footprint and profitability.
For example, Arc Productions, an animation and visual effects studio, was facing monthly energy bills from their datacenter surmounting $25,000. They began using TSO Logic's solution and discovered that half their servers were idle 69% of the time. By adjusting server power levels, they reduced power consumption/costs by 56%, on track to save between $463,000 and $596,000 over the next 5 years. They also identified that 20% of their total server farm was underutilized. They replaced nearly half of these servers with more efficient technology, increasing their performance by 400%, and reducing the number of servers being powered. They also associated power costs with individual projects, performed precise capacity planning, and implemented capacity shifting to defer premium power rates during peak demand periods.
As one judge said, this product offers a lot of benefit and is a solid solution with impact.

Home > SQL Server Error Messages > Msg 111 - 'CREATE FUNCTION' must be the first statement in a query batch.
SQL Server Error Messages - Msg 111 - 'CREATE FUNCTION' must be the first statement in a query batch.
SQL Server Error Messages - Msg 111
Error Message
Server: Msg 111, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
'CREATE FUNCTION' must be the first statement in a query batch.
Causes
As the error message suggests, the CREATE FUNCTION statement must be the first statement in a query batch. There should be no other statements before the CREATION FUNCTION statement that would make it not the first statement in a query batch.
To illustrate, here's a script that will generate the error message:
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM [dbo].[sysobjects]
 WHERE ID = object_id(N'[dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear]') AND
 XTYPE IN (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF'))
 DROP FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear]
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear] ( @InputDate DATETIME )
RETURNS BIT
AS
BEGIN
 IF (YEAR( @InputDate ) % 4 = 0 AND YEAR( @InputDate ) % 100 != 0) OR
 YEAR( @InputDate ) % 400 = 0
 RETURN 1
 RETURN 0
END
GO
Msg 111, Level 15, State 1, Line 7
'CREATE FUNCTION' must be the first statement in a query batch.
When scripting a user-defined function, it is a common practice to check first if the function already exists and if it already exists, drop the function first using the DROP FUNCTION statement before creating it using the CREATE FUNCTION statement. This can also be done using the ALTER FUNCTION statement. The ALTER FUNCTION statement alters an existing Transact-SQL or CLR function that was previously created by executing the CREATE FUNCTION statement, without changing permissions and without affecting any dependent functions, stored procedures or triggers. The only drawback with the ALTER FUNCTION is that it will fail if the function does not exist yet. With the DROP FUNCTION/CREATE FUNCTION combination, the script will always succeed whether the function already exists or not.
Solution / Work Around :
As the message suggests, to avoid this error the CREATE FUNCTION statement must be the first statement in a query batch. To make the CREATE FUNCTION statement the first statement in the script above, the GO command can be added to separate the DROP FUNCTION statement from the CREATE FUNCTION statement.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM [dbo].[sysobjects]
 WHERE ID = object_id(N'[dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear]') AND
 XTYPE IN (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF'))
 DROP FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear]
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear] ( @InputDate DATETIME )
RETURNS BIT
AS
BEGIN
 IF (YEAR( @InputDate ) % 4 = 0 AND YEAR( @InputDate ) % 100 != 0) OR
 YEAR( @InputDate ) % 400 = 0
 RETURN 1
 RETURN 0
END
GO
The GO command signals the end of a batch of Transact-SQL statements and any statements after the GO command signals the beginning of a new batch of queries or Transact-SQL statements. By adding the GO command after the DROP function statement, the CREATE FUNCTION statement now becomes the first statement in the succeeding query batch.

As of fall 2022, the restoration of the water infrastructure cost $5.5 billion
This assessment was given by the World Bank. Anna Danylyak, an expert on the development of sustainable agriculture of the NGO "Ekodiya" (Ecoaction), told about this during a briefing at Media Center Ukraine – Odesa.
She noted that this assessment refers to the first six months of the war and only to the territories controlled by the Ukrainian authorities.
"The losses of Ukraine's water infrastructure are water pumping stations, water treatment facilities, wells, water supply networks, wells, sewerage networks, the World Bank estimated at $7 billion. But this assessment is far from complete," – Anna Danylyak said.
She added that, according to the World Bank's estimate, $5.5 billion should have been spent on the restoration of water infrastructure.
"But this is a preliminary estimate as of last fall. The longer the war lasts, the bigger will be losses and the need for recovery," – the expert noted.
She also noted that studying the impact of hostilities on water as a component of the environment is, in her opinion, "a task with an asterisk."
"If we talk about the impact of war on water as a component of the environment, primarily on chemical pollution, then this is a task with an asterisk. "It is often unknown what the quality of water and its chemical composition was before the start of hostilities. It makes a really big difference. Studying the impact of hostilities is a specific task because you have to know what you are looking for. We are talking about pollution with heavy metals, petroleum products, and other toxic elements. Not every laboratory had the ability to conduct such analyzes in Ukraine," – the expert added.

Generation of Spatially Varying Polarization by Interference with Polarized Light
Interferometry is an important technique for optical metrology. As an example, a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with coherent laser source is build up in VirtualLab Fusion. Particularly in this example, two polarizers are inserted to control the polarization states of the two interfering beams. By rotating one polarizer, the changes in the interference pattern is visualized, and as a result, spatially varying polarization is generated.

$toUpper (aggregation)
On this page
Definition
$toUpper
Converts a string to uppercase, returning the result.
$toUpper has the following syntax:
{ $toUpper: <expression> }
The argument can be any expression as long as it resolves to a string. For more information on expressions, see Expressions.
If the argument resolves to null, $toLower returns an empty string "".
Behavior
$toUpper only has a well-defined behavior for strings of ASCII characters.
Example
Consider a inventory collection with the following documents:
{ "_id" : 1, "item" : "ABC1", quarter: "13Q1", "description" : "PRODUCT 1" }
{ "_id" : 2, "item" : "abc2", quarter: "13Q4", "description" : "Product 2" }
{ "_id" : 3, "item" : "xyz1", quarter: "14Q2", "description" : null }
The following operation uses the $toUpper operator return uppercase item and uppercase description values:
db.inventory.aggregate(
 [
 {
 $project:
 {
 item: { $toUpper: "$item" },
 description: { $toUpper: "$description" }
 }
 }
 ]
)
The operation returns the following results:
{ "_id" : 1, "item" : "ABC1", "description" : "PRODUCT 1" }
{ "_id" : 2, "item" : "ABC2", "description" : "PRODUCT 2" }
{ "_id" : 3, "item" : "XYZ1", "description" : "" }

Suppose I have two objective c++ objects that each wrap a native c++ object given:
A, B = objective c++ object types
Acpp, Bcpp = c++ object types
In B.mm
#import "Bcpp.h"
#import "B.h"
@interface B ()
{
 Bcpp myBcpp; // declare instance c++ variable of type Bcpp
}
@end
In A.mm
#import "Acpp.h"
#import "A.h"
@interface A ()
{
 Acpp myAcpp; // declare instance c++ variable of type Acpp
}
@end
@implementation A
// method to return an instance of B from an instance of A (self)
- (B)GetBfromA
{
 Bcpp *bfroma = myAcpp.GetBfromA(); // return c++ object
 // How do i find the objective C++ object B from its wrapped c++ instance bfroma?
}
@end
The reason for doing this is we have a mature c++ data structure and we wish to wrap it with objective c++ objects. Is the the best way? And if it is, how do we solve the reverse mapping problem?
EDIT: Thank you to the early responders but I have a more tricky situation that I implied above. Suppose the function GetBFromA() returns an instance of Bcpp that had already been declared (as an instance variable of an instance of B). So I am holding a pointer to a Bcpp object that is itself an instance variable of an objective C++ object of type B. How do I find the instance of B from the instance of Bcpp?

well, sure it's answerable - using lots of private accesses and little abstraction layers which can perform the remapping and deferred construction and conversions. you also need to define copy and sharing semantics for your object graphs -- often, it's easiest to just keep it as c++. in your example, you just have to create a new B which references, shares, or copies the Bcpp. generally you do not want to push this objc countermap into your stable c++ layer. typically, Bcpp will not be aware of B. – justin Sep 4 '12 at 4:33

What you probably need to do is to be able to create a B from a Bcpp. So B will need to be amended to have an -initWithBcpp: method:
- (id)initWithBcpp:(Bcpp*)bcpp
{
 self = [super init];
 if (self != nil)
 {
 myBcpp = *bcpp;
 }
 return self;
}
Then, in GetBFromA, you'll need to create a B from the Bcpp*:
- (B*)GetBfromA
{
 Bcpp *bfroma = myAcpp.GetBfromA(); // return c++ object
 B* result = [[B alloc] initWithBcpp:bfroma];
 return result;
}

Painting weka classes
Mainly to Ignacio (hola!), but perhaps others can make further suggestions.
In the Weka segmentation, the default brush size to define the classes samples is 1 pixel thick. I seem to remember that this was the only size supported when the plugin came out.
Has this been improved? Is there a way of painting the classes with a larger brush?
I am asking because it is painfullly slow and tedious to cover a large area that otherwise could be painted with a thicker brush and a few strokes. Or perhaps use polygons to define those areas?
Thanks!
Yes! You can use any of the available selection tools, including a thicker brush:

In my experience, it is not necessary to cover large areas for training, and it might even slow down the process: to train a classifier, the features of the calculated feature stack are taken into account for each labeled pixel. Neighboring pixels often carry very similar information, and therefore adding pixels close to other already labeled pixels does not increase the quality of the classifier very much (and it blows up your data.arff file in case you want to save the labeled data).
It is often more helpful to only add very few more pixels in areas where the classifier doesn't perform so well yet (where the uncertainty of the classifier is high). By using freehand lines, you keep the sample size small but still make sure to include the pixels representative of their class.
That said, if you still like to label/select arbitrary areas, I can very much recommend using the selection brush tool. Double-click on the tool button to set the brush size, then draw on the image. For modifying the selection, start brushing outside the selection to remove pixels, or inside the selection to add pixels.

Thanks for the prompt reply, guys, very happy to hear that it supports other selection tools and the selection brush tool is a good idea too (I keep forgetting about this!

To use a Dropbear's key in OpenSSH, you will have to convert it:
dropbearconvert dropbear openssh ./id_rsa ./id_rsa_openssh
This procedure can be done vice versa to obtain a key in Dropbear's format:
dropbearconvert openssh dropbear ./id_rsa_openssh ./id_rsa_dropbear
Using the SFTP
Package OpenSSH provides a tool for accessing remote hosts over SFTP. This will allow you to work with files in same way as via FTP but with better security.
Connecting to Termux (sshd listening on port 8022):
$ sftp -P 8022 192.168.1.20
Connecting to somewhere else (sshd listening on standard port):
$ sftp sftp.example.com
However, to use command line SFTP client you should know some basic commands:
 - cd PATH - change current directory to 'PATH'.
 - get REMOTE [LOCAL] - download file 'REMOTE' and rename it as 'LOCAL' (optional).
 - mkdir PATH - create directory 'PATH'.
 - ls [PATH] - list files in directory 'PATH'. If no argument, files in current directory will be listed.
 - put LOCAL [REMOTE] - Upload file 'LOCAL' and rename it as 'REMOTE' (optional).
 - rm FILE - Delete file 'FILE'.
This is not a complete list of SFTP commands. To view all available commands, consider to view man page (man sftp) or view short help in interactive SFTP session by issuing command 'help'.
MOSH
Mosh is a remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and line editing of user keystrokes.
Usage example
Important note: Mosh should be installed on both client and server side.
Connecting to remote host (sshd listening on standard port):
mosh _EMAIL_
Connecting to Termux (sshd listening on port 8022):
mosh --ssh="ssh -p 8022" 192.168.1.25
Rsync
Rsync is a tool for synchronizing files with remote hosts or local directories (or drives). For better experience of using rsync, make sure that package 'openssh' (or 'dropbear') is installed.
Usage example
Sync your photos with PC:
$ rsync -av /sdcard/DCIM/ user@192.168.1.20:~/Pictures/Android/
Get photos from remote Android device:
$ rsync -av -e 'ssh -p 8022' 192.168.1.3:/sdcard/DCIM/ /sdcard/DCIM/
Sync local directories (e.g. from external sdcard to Termux home):
$ rsync -av /storage/0123-4567/myfiles ~/files
You may want to see man page ('man rsync') to learn more about it's usage.
Accessing Termux from the Internet
It is possible to access your device over the Internet even if you are behind NAT device (e.g. Wi-Fi router or on mobile network). There are some ways to achieve this, but will require installing additional software and a bit of configuration.
Tor
Accessing device via Tor is the most secure and effective method - offers strong end-to-end encryption (onion services don't use 'exit' node), virtual ports (e.g. 80 port without root), your service won't be visible on plain Internet.
However, this method requires setting up a Tor Onion Service.
Installing needed packages
The main package is tor. Install it by running this command:
pkg install tor
You may want to install a 'torsocks' for accessing the Tor Network:
pkg install torsocks
Setting up Onion Service
You will have to modify the default configuration file of tor ($PREFIX/etc/tor/torrc). Here is an example of configuring SSH Onion Service:
## Enable TOR SOCKS proxy
SOCKSPort 127.0.0.1:9050
## Hidden Service: SSH
HiddenServiceDir /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.tor/hidden_ssh
HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:8022
Then you need to make a directory where information about Hidden Service will be stored:
mkdir -p ~/.tor/hidden_ssh
Now you can execute in console tor. If start was successfull, you can get your onion service hostname:
cat ~/.tor/hidden_ssh/hostname
Output should be like this: g3yv3tvqrbow7koz.onion
Accessing your service
First of all make sure that on client device 'tor' is running and you have all necessary software for accessing Tor Network (in this case package 'torsocks').
To access the onion service created in previous step, run this:
torsocks ssh g3yv3tvqrbow7koz.onion
If everything is ok, the output should be like this:
The authenticity of host 'g3yv3tvqrbow7koz.onion (127.42.42.0)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:WGualHEq7SJdvVeXgy8a+btPQCd7uxTeXjlWdHHLwLc.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Remember, 'tor' should be running on both (client/server) sides, otherwise you will get connection errors. You can configure other servers (e.g. Nginx) in the same way as shown in above example for SSH.

Warning: this service may intercept and analyze your traffic.
Ngrok is a service for exposing your local ports to the Internet. Software is closed source, but still can be executed on Termux.
Restrictions
Ngrok is a paid service, but it provides a free plan with some restrictions. Depending on your requirements, these restrictions may be unsuitable for you.
What is available on free plan:
 - HTTP/TCP tunnels are only on random URLs/ports
 - 4 tunnels per account
 - 40 connections per minute
Installation
Go to the Ngrok downloads page, and choose a binary with architecture correct for your device. You can follow instructions available on the downloads page, but for better experience you can follow these instructions that will install binary to the Termux environment.
In these instructions will be assumed, that yours architecture is AArch64 (i.e. arm64), and Ngrok's version is 2.2.8.
1. Unzip downloaded archive:
unzip ngrok-2.2.8-linux-arm64.zip
2. Move binary to the right place:
mv -i ngrok $PREFIX/bin/
3. Set executable permissions:
chmod 700 $PREFIX/bin/ngrok
4. You need to authorize your ngrok installation. Here will be assumed that you registered an account on _URL_ so you can proceed with:
ngrok authtoken {your auth token}
Note that authentication token should be retrieved from your account's page. The token is similar to this string: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU_VWXYZabcdef1234567890.
Usage example
In this example will be shown how to forward SSH port via Ngrok. Before proceed, make sure that Ngrok is installed and authenticated, otherwise you will get errors.
Type in your console this:
ngrok tcp 8022
You should see an output similar to this:

way to stand out and make a statement in a world that often tries to silence women's voices.
- Red high heels are also associated with the feminist movement, representing a woman's choice to express her sexuality and femininity on her own terms. They have become a symbol of empowerment, a way to reclaim the narrative around female sexuality and turn it into a source of strength rather than shame.
But the power of red high heels goes beyond just their symbolism. Studies have shown that wearing high heels can actually increase a woman's sense of power and confidence. The added height and altered posture can make women feel more dominant and assertive, helping them to command attention in a room.
However, it's important to note that not all women feel comfortable wearing high heels, and that's okay too. The power of red heels lies in the choice to wear them, not in the obligation to conform to a certain standard of femininity. As long as women are given the freedom to express themselves and make their own choices, they can find their own symbols of power and dominance, whether it's through red heels or something else entirely.

Red high heels in the context of gender roles and stereotypes
Red high heels have long been associated with femininity, sex appeal, and power. Historically, women were expected to wear high heels to appear more attractive and sexually desirable to men. However, in recent years, the meaning and symbolism of red high heels have shifted, and they are now viewed as a symbol of a woman's empowerment and confidence, rather than simply a tool for attracting male attention.
- In popular culture, red high heels are often depicted as a symbol of female empowerment. In movies and television shows, women wearing red high heels are portrayed as confident and powerful, often working in high-powered careers or taking charge of their lives.
- Red high heels can also be seen as a symbol of rebellion against traditional gender roles. By wearing high heels, women are expressing their femininity in a way that goes beyond societal norms, challenging the idea that femininity is weak or submissive.
- However, it's important to note that the expectation for women to wear high heels in professional settings still exists in many industries. In some workplaces, women are required to wear high heels to maintain a certain image or to adhere to dress codes that are more strict for women than for men.
Despite these challenges, red high heels continue to be a popular choice for women who want to express their confidence and power. In a world that often undervalues femininity and sees it as a weakness, red high heels serve as a reminder that femininity can be a source of strength and empowerment.
