Puzzle feeder is a fantastic way to add excitement and mental stimulation to your pet's mealtime.
In this guide, we'll walk you through creating a cardboard puzzle feeder, offering your furry friend a fun dining experience while challenging their intelligence.
The Importance of mental stimulation
Before we delve into crafting the puzzle feeder, let's take a moment to understand why mental stimulation is crucial for our pets.
The mind matters
While physical exercise is vital for keeping your pet healthy, mental exercise is equally important. Dogs and cats are intelligent creatures that thrive on mental challenges. Without these challenges, they may become bored or develop behavioral problems.
Mental stimulation can help:
- Prevent Boredom: Boredom can lead to destructive behavior, excessive barking, or other unwanted habits.
- Reduce Anxiety: Engaging your pet's mind can reduce stress and anxiety, promoting overall well-being.
- Enhance Problem-Solving Skills: Mental exercises can improve your pet's problem-solving abilities, making them more adaptable.
- Strengthen the Bond: Spending quality time engaging with your pet through puzzles can strengthen the bond between you.
The role of puzzle feeders
A puzzle feeder is not just a means of providing food; it's a mental exercise that can engage your pet's brain and keep them entertained. Here's how it works:
- Stimulates the Senses: Puzzle feeders engage your pet's senses of sight, smell, and touch as they manipulate the feeder to access the hidden treats or kibble.
- Encourages Problem-Solving: Pets must figure out how to get to the food, which stimulates their problem-solving skills.
- Promotes Slower Eating: For pets that gobble up their food quickly, a puzzle feeder can slow down the eating process, reducing the risk of digestive issues.
- Offers Entertainment: Puzzle feeders provide mental enrichment and entertainment, especially when you're not around to play with your pet.
Now that we understand the importance of puzzle feeders let's gather the materials and get started on creating one.
Let's kick off our puzzle feeder project by ensuring you have all the necessary materials and tools at your disposal.
The versatility of cardboard
Cardboard is an excellent material for crafting a puzzle feeder for several reasons:
- Readily Available: Most households have cardboard readily available from packaging materials.
- Easy to Work With: Cardboard is easy to cut, shape, and assemble, making it perfect for crafting.
- Customizable: You can create a customized puzzle feeder design tailored to your pet's preferences and abilities.
Here are the materials and tools you'll need:
- Cardboard: Collect cardboard sheets or boxes. The quantity will depend on the complexity of your design.
- Scissors or Utility Knife: These are essential for cutting and shaping the cardboard.
- Non-Toxic Glue: Ensure the glue is safe for pets as some adhesives can be harmful if ingested.
- Ruler: Useful for measuring and cutting straight lines.
- Decorative Supplies (Optional): If you'd like to add a personal touch to your feeder, gather markers, paint, or any other decorative materials.
- Now that we have our materials ready, it's time to start crafting our puzzle feeder.
Creating a puzzle feeder may sound complex, but fear not! We'll guide you through the process step by step, making it a fun and rewarding DIY project.
Step 1-Design planning
Every great creation starts with a plan. Before you dive into cutting cardboard, take a moment to sketch out your puzzle feeder's design on a piece of paper. This will serve as your blueprint, helping you visualize the end result and make necessary adjustments before crafting.
Consider the following when planning your design:
- Size: Determine the appropriate size based on your pet's breed and size. Smaller pets may need smaller feeders, while larger breeds can handle more substantial challenges.
- Complexity: Think about how challenging you want the puzzle to be. For beginners, keep it simple, and as your pet becomes more adept, you can increase the complexity.
- Food Type: Consider whether you'll be using treats, kibble, or both in your puzzle feeder. This will influence the design and size of the compartments.
- Safety: Always prioritize safety. Ensure there are no small parts that could be a choking hazard, and use non-toxic materials.
Once you have a clear plan, you're ready to move on to the next step.
Step 2-Cutting and shaping
With your design in hand, it's time to start cutting and shaping the cardboard pieces according to your plan. Depending on your chosen design, you may need to cut slots, create compartments, or construct tunnels.
Here are some tips for this stage:
- Measure Twice, Cut Once: Use your ruler to measure and mark where you need to cut. Double-check your measurements before making any cuts to avoid mistakes.
- Safety First: When using scissors or a utility knife, be cautious to avoid accidental cuts or injuries. It's always a good idea to have a safe cutting surface beneath your cardboard.
- Precision Matters: Take your time to ensure clean and precise cuts. Neatly cut cardboard will result in a more polished final product.
Step 3-Decorating (Optional)
While decorating your puzzle feeder is optional, it can add a personal and fun touch to the project. Get creative with markers, paint, stickers, or any other decorative materials you have on hand.
Here are some decorating ideas:
- Color Coding: Use different colors to create a visually stimulating design.
- Themes: If you have a theme in mind, such as "under the sea" or "outer space," decorate the feeder accordingly.
- Personalization: Add your pet's name or a special message to make it unique.
- Imaginative Designs: Let your creativity run wild. Your pet won't mind if it looks a bit unconventional!
Step 4-Assembling Your Puzzle Feeder
Now comes the fun part—putting it all together! Assemble the cardboard pieces according to your design, using non-toxic glue sparingly to ensure everything stays securely in place. Follow these steps:
- Apply Glue Thoughtfully: Use glue sparingly and evenly. Too much glue can cause the cardboard to warp or become soggy.
- Hold Pieces Firmly: After applying glue, press the pieces together firmly for a few moments to ensure a strong bond.
- Allow for Drying Time: Give your puzzle feeder some time to dry completely. This will ensure that it's sturdy and safe for your pet.
Step 5-Final Inspection
Before introducing your puzzle feeder to your pet, give it a final inspection. This is a crucial step to ensure there are no loose parts or potential safety hazards.
Run your fingers along the seams and joints to check for any rough edges or protruding pieces. Smooth out any imperfections to prevent injury to your pet.
Congratulations! You've successfully crafted your very own puzzle feeder from cardboard. Now, it's time to move on to the exciting part—watching your pet enjoy it.
Increasing puzzle complexity
A puzzle feeder's effectiveness lies in its ability to challenge your pet's mind. Let's explore how to make it even more engaging.
The puzzle challenge
Your pet enjoys a good puzzle, and your cardboard creation can provide just that. Here are a few ways to increase the complexity:
Place treats or kibble inside the feeder, hiding them behind flaps or within compartments. Your pet will need to figure out how to access the rewards. This not only provides mental stimulation but also encourages their sense of smell.
Create a maze within the feeder with twists and turns that require your pet to maneuver treats to the exit. This adds an extra layer of complexity to the puzzle, keeping your pet engaged for longer periods.
Incorporate spinning or rotating elements that your pet must manipulate to access the treats. This adds a physical aspect to the mental challenge, requiring coordination and problem-solving.
By adding these challenges, you're turning mealtime into an engaging mental workout. Not only will your pet enjoy the reward, but they'll also relish the process of problem-solving. Keep an eye on your pet as they interact with the puzzle feeder to ensure they're engaged and not frustrated.
Usage and maintenance
Now that your puzzle feeder is ready, it's time to put it into action. Learn how to introduce it to your pet and keep it in top-notch condition for continued enjoyment.
When you introduce the new puzzle feeder, your pet might be curious or even a bit puzzled. Here's how to make mealtime an adventure:
- Start Slow: Begin by using the puzzle feeder as a supplement to your pet's regular meal. Fill it with a portion of their kibble or treats. This gradual introduction will help your pet get used to the new feeding method.
- Encourage Exploration: Show your pet how the puzzle works initially. Give them a hint by demonstrating how to access the treats or kibble. Your pet will quickly catch on and become more confident.
- Gradual Complexity: As your pet becomes more adept at using the puzzle feeder, you can increase the complexity of the challenges. Add more twists, turns, or hidden compartments to keep them engaged and mentally stimulated.
- Monitor and Adjust: Pay attention to your pet's progress. If they find a particular challenge too easy, modify it to keep things interesting. Conversely, if a challenge seems too frustrating, simplify it temporarily.
By making mealtime an adventure, you're turning a routine task into a stimulating challenge. Your pet will eagerly anticipate their meals, which is a win for both their mental and physical well-being.
Keeping it Clean
Maintaining hygiene is essential. Find out how to clean and sanitize your puzzle feeder to keep it safe for your pet.
- Regular Cleaning：After each use, rinse the puzzle

SEED: Social Economic Environmental Design® provides a common standard to guide, evaluate and measure the social, economic and environmental impact of design projects.
SEED maintains the belief that design can play a vital role in the most critical issues that face communities and individuals, in crisis and in every day challenges. To accomplish this, the SEED® process guides professionals to work alongside locals who know their community and its needs. This practice of "trusting the local" is increasingly recognized as a highly effective way to sustain the health and longevity of a place or a community as it develops.
The name "SEED" was first proposed during a 2005 meeting at the Harvard Graduate School of Design where architects, designers, and other diverse experts in the public interest design movement convened to evaluate how design could respond to the triple bottom line of social, economic, and environmental justice.
SEED's Mission is to advance the right of every person to live in a socially, economically and environmentally healthy community.
- The SEED guiding principles are:
- SEED Principle 1: Advocate with those who have a limited voice in public life.
- SEED Principle 2: Build structures for inclusion that engage stakeholders and allow communities to make decisions.
- SEED Principle 3: Promote social equality through discourse that reflects a range of values and social identities.
- SEED Principle 4: Generate ideas that grow from place and build local capacity.
- SEED Principle 5: Design to help conserve resources and minimize waste.

HTTP Alternate Selection
The HTTP alternate selection functions provide a mechanism for hooking into Traffic Server's alternate selection mechanism and augmenting it with additional information. HTTP alternate selection refers to the process of choosing between several alternate versions of a document for a specific URL. Alternates arise because the HTTP 1.1 specification allows different documents to be sent back for the same URL (depending on the clients request). For example, a server might send back a GIF image to a client that only accepts GIF images, and might send back a JPEG image to a client that only accepts JPEG images.
The alternate selection mechanism is invoked when Traffic Server looks up a URL in its cache. For each URL, Traffic Server stores a vector of alternates. For each alternate in this vector, Traffic Server computes a quality value between 0 and 1 that represents how "good" the alternate is. A quality value of 0 means that the alternate is unacceptable; a value of 1 means that the alternate is a perfect match.
If a plugin hooks onto the TS_HTTP_SELECT_ALT_HOOK, then it will be called back when Traffic Server performs alternate selection. You cannot register locally to the hook TS_HTTP_SELECT_ALT_HOOK by using TSHttpTxnHookAdd - you can only do so by using only TSHttpHookAdd. Since Traffic Server does not actually have an HTTP transaction or an HTTP session on hand when alternate selection is performed, it is only valid to hook onto the global list of TS_HTTP_SELECT_ALT_HOOK. Traffic Server calls each of the select alternate hooks with the TS_EVENT_HTTP_SELECT_ALT event. The void *edata argument that is passed to the continuation is a pointer to an TSHttpAltInfo structure. It can be used later to call the HTTP alternate selection functions listed at the end of this section. Unlike other hooks, this alternate selection callout is non-blocking; the expectation is that the quality value for the alternate will be changed by a call to TSHttpAltInfoQualitySet.
Note
HTTP SM does not have to be re-enabled using TSHttpTxnReenable or any other APIs; just return from the function.
The sample code below shows how to call the alternate APIs.
static void handle_select_alt(TSHttpAltInfo infop)
{
 TSMBuffer client_req_buf, cache_resp_buf;
 TSMLoc client_req_hdr, cache_resp_hdr;
 TSMLoc accept_transform_field;
 TSMLoc content_transform_field;
 int accept_transform_len = -1, content_transform_len = -1;
 const char* accept_transform_value = nullptr;
 const char* content_transform_value = nullptr;
 int content_plugin, accept_plugin;
 float quality;
 /* get client request, cached request and cached response */
 TSHttpAltInfoClientReqGet (infop, &client_req_buf, &client_req_hdr);
 TSHttpAltInfoCachedRespGet(infop, &cache_resp_buf, &cache_resp_hdr);
 /* get the Accept-Transform field value from the client request */
 accept_transform_field = TSMimeHdrFieldFind(client_req_buf,
 client_req_hdr, "Accept-Transform", -1);
 if (accept_transform_field) {
 TSMimeHdrFieldValueStringGet(client_req_buf, client_req_hdr,
 accept_transform_field, 0, &accept_transform_value, &accept_transform_len);
 Dbg(dbg_ctl, "Accept-Transform = |%s|",
 accept_transform_value);
 }
 /* get the Content-Transform field value from cached server response */
 content_transform_field = TSMimeHdrFieldFind(cache_resp_buf,
 cache_resp_hdr, "Content-Transform", -1);
 if (content_transform_field) {
 TSMimeHdrFieldValueStringGet(cache_resp_buf, cache_resp_hdr,
 content_transform_field, 0, &content_transform_value, &content_transform_len);
 Dbg(dbg_ctl, "Content-Transform = |%s|",
 content_transform_value);
 }
 /* compute quality */
 accept_plugin = (accept_transform_value && (accept_transform_len > 0) &&
 (strncmp(accept_transform_value, "plugin",
 accept_transform_len) == 0));
 content_plugin = (content_transform_value && (content_transform_len >0) &&
 (strncmp(content_transform_value, "plugin",
 content_transform_len) == 0));
 if (accept_plugin) {
 quality = content_plugin ? 1.0 : 0.0;
 } else {
 quality = content_plugin ? 0.0 : 0.5;
 }
 Dbg(dbg_ctl, "Setting quality to %3.1f", quality);
 /* set quality for this alternate */
 TSHttpAltInfoQualitySet(infop, quality);
 /* cleanup */
 if (accept_transform_field)
 TSHandleMLocRelease(client_req_buf, client_req_hdr,
 accept_transform_field);
 TSHandleMLocRelease(client_req_buf, TS_NULL_MLOC, client_req_hdr);
 if (content_transform_field)
 TSHandleMLocRelease(cache_resp_buf, cache_resp_hdr,
 content_transform_field);
 TSHandleMLocRelease(cache_resp_buf, TS_NULL_MLOC, cache_resp_hdr);
}
static int alt_plugin(TSCont contp, TSEvent event, void *edata)
{
 TSHttpAltInfo infop;
 switch (event) {
 case TS_EVENT_HTTP_SELECT_ALT:
 infop = static_cast<TSHttpAltInfo>(edata);
 handle_select_alt(infop);
 break;
 default:
 break;
 }
 return 0;
}
void TSPluginInit (int argc, const char *argv[])
{
 TSHttpHookAdd(TS_HTTP_SELECT_ALT_HOOK, TSContCreate (alt_plugin,
 nullptr));
}
Traffic Server augments the alternate selection through these callouts using the following algorithm:
 1. Traffic Server computes its own quality value for the alternate, taking into account the quality of the accept match, the encoding match, and the language match.
 2. Traffic Server then calls out each of the continuations on the global TS_HTTP_SELECT_ALT_HOOK's list.
 3. It multiplies its quality value with the value returned by each callout. Since all of the values are clamped to be between 0 and 1, the final value will be between 0 and 1 as well.
 4. This algorithm also ensures that a single callout can block the usage of a given alternate by specifying a quality value of 0.
A common usage for the alternate selection mechanism is when a plugin transforms a document for some clients and not for others, but wants to store both the transformed and unchanged document. The client's request will specify whether it accepted the transformed document. The plugin will then determine if the alternate matches this specification and then set the appropriate quality level for the alternate.
The HTTP alternate selection functions are:

Plan Details
Schools celebrate Christmas every year. It is essential to convey the messages of Lord Jesus Christ to the students, such as love, affection and peace.
We have brought together a Christmas assembly plan - 'All Around the Christmas Tree'. Through the drama, the students would learn about the significance of different ornaments used to decorate the Christmas tree, which convey the message of love, peace and affection to the students. The surprise entry of a special character, group recitations and dance performances also add the fun element to the assembly.
The 25-minute program accommodates minimum 50 participants. The plan has a main manual illustrating the flow of the event, i.e. compere's speech with the drama script having the detailed dialogues of the roles/characters and the songs for the dance performances and group recitations. Costumes, music files, stage backdrops, arrangement of stage props and stage/entrance/venue decorations are recommended in the document.
The assembly plan is appropriate for participation of students from Class 1 to 10. The distribution of roles in drama/ dances to the students depends on the sole discretion of the school management. Also, the schools can conduct it for a few grades or all the grades from Class 1 to 10.
 - Prices are inclusive of all taxes.
 - All national and international cards accepted.

Conservation Groups Appeal Holcim Air Permit St. Louis, Mo.
Four conservation organizations have filed an appeal with the Missouri Air Conservation Commission of the air pollution permit issued for the proposed Holcim cement plant. Holcim's proposed plant - to be the largest in the northern hemisphere - would emit approximately 26,000 tons of regulated air pollutants each year, including pollutants that contribute to already unhealthy air in the St. Louis region. The St. Louis region is known to be in violation of standards for ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter, and much of the Midwest is under a fish advisory because of mercury pollution.
Holcim's plant will emit roughly 7,000 tons of pollutants annually that contribute to ground- level ozone, and 160 pounds of mercury each year. "Holcim basically got the permit it wanted", said Ted Heisel, Executive Director of the Missouri Coalition for the Environment. "Our state agency cut them a break, issuing a permit that's weaker than what's been required of other plants." "Once again the Department of Natural Resources has failed to act on behalf of the best interests of the citizens of Missouri," stated Carla Klein, Ozark Chapter Director for Missouri Sierra Club. "MDNR is willing to give the largest cement plant in North America the green light to pollute our air for 100 years without even minimum air pollution controls."

We recently completed data recovery for a customer with a 32GB Lexar Jump Drive which had taken an impact while plugged into a USB port, and, as is the case with many of these Lexar flash drives, the impact flexed the circuit board enough to lift the controller (Silicon Motion SM3267L AB) and tear solder pads. (See my previous case study on a Lexar Jumpdrive with cracked PCB, which used the exact same controller and circuit board as this current case.) After inspection under a microscope to assess the damage, I determined that it would be faster to transplant the NAND chips to a working donor rather than repair the damaged controller connections. I went to our donor inventory, but found that even though all of our donor drives with this controller had space on the circuit board for two BGA-152 NAND chips, none of them used more than one memory chip, whereas our patient drive had two chips.
In this case, it's not as simple as soldering both chips to the donor circuit board and expecting it to work, but it's actually not that much more complicated. There's a simple trick to convert these boards from a single-chip configuration to two chips.
This PCB is equipped with solder pads (R6, marked in the picture with a red rectangle) that are used to jump the controller's second "chip enable" signal (since we count from zero, this is CE1) to the opposite side of the board, connecting to the second NAND chip's CE0.
Without this jumper, the controller can't initialize the second memory chip. Our single-chip donor drive was manufactured without the jumper, but by soldering a 0 Ohm resistor to R6, we could then transplant the patient drive's two NANDs to the donor and get a perfect recovery of the broken drive's data.
For broken flash drive data recovery it's preferable to repair or transplant the memory chips to a working donor whenever possible due to the inherently lower rate of errors than with chip-off recovery, as well as typically faster turnaround time. Still, advanced chip-off flash drive recovery using professional data recovery tools including PC3000 Flash, Flash Extractor, and Visual NAND Reconstructor (VNR) is always an option when flash drive repair isn't possible or a suitable donor isn't available. In this case, that wasn't necessary.

Irish immigrants have been remembered at an event in the US state of Utah celebrating the 150th anniversary of the 'Golden Spike', the moment when the First Transcontinental Railroad was completed.
The railway connected the east and west coasts of the United States and was finished on 10 May, 1869.
An estimated 10,000 Irish immigrants worked on the railroad.
Many of them were veterans of the US Civil War and made up at least half of the workers from the Union Pacific railway company.
They worked alongside a mix of Mormons, other European immigrants and recently emancipated African Americans to construct the line from the east.
Many Irish also worked alongside the 15,000 Chinese immigrants who were the main workforce building the line from Sacramento, California to Promontory Summit, Utah.
A ceremony was held in Utah to mark the 150th anniversary of the railroad's completion.
The event was addressed by the Irish Ambassador to the US, Daniel Mulhall.
He said he was proud and honoured to mark the enormous role played by Irish immigrants in the building of the transcontinental railroad.
Irish Ambassador to the US, Daniel Mulhall, addressing the crowd
"Theirs was a magnificent contribution to the making of modern America," he said.
The US President Donald Trump has paid tribute to the workers who built the transcontinental railroad.
In a statement he said: "We honor the undaunted efforts of the people who made this innovation possible, including workers of Irish and Chinese descent, as well as freed slaves, Native Americans, Civil War veterans, and Latter-day Saints."

Steven Vance recently forwarded me a question about why CTA's rails have been sparking. Unlike MAX trains which get power from an overhead wire system, their trains get power through a third rail system. However, arcing in both kinds of power systems during winter weather is typically caused by ice. Ice building up on the wire (or third rail as the case may be) acts as an electrical insulator, preventing the carbon shoe from making contact with the wire where the ice accumulates. This interruption in the flow of the current from the wire to the pantograph is visible as arcing.
Here's a video of a MAX train pulling into & out of a platform where there was some ice on the catenary, and you can easily see the effect that it has:
To help clear ice from the overhead wire & prevent it from accumulating, a few of the Type 1s (107-112) are equipped with ice cutters which are put into use for major freezing rain/ice events. I don't have a picture of any of them in use (though I'm willing to accept donations!), but they look like a second pantograph and function by heating/scraping ice from the overhead wire. Unlike the pantographs, ice cutters only draw current to heat the elements and not to provide power to the train, so they won't arc the same way the pantographs do in ice. Their function is strictly to clear ice from the wire.
If you'd ever seen one of these cars and wondered why it has two pantographs, wonder no more! It doesn't – one pantograph, one ice cutter.
View from above; the ice cutter is the one closer to the coupled end, the pantograph is the one in contact with the wire closer to the vantage point. Bonus cameo appearance by car 235

Path Walkthrough for the Impatient
|Time to complete|
Demonstrating the creation of a Path Workbench Job derived from a 3D Model. Then generating dialect-correct G-Code for a target CNC mill.
The 3D Model
1. The Project begins with a simple FreeCAD model designed in the Part Design a cube with a rectangular pocket,
Above: Created in the Part Design including a Body, a Box with a Pocket, based on a Sketch oriented in the XY plane.
3. Now we create a Path Job by either of the following methods:
- Press the button from the toolbar.
- Using the then keyboard shortcut.
- Using the Path → Job entry from the top menu.
Above: Path Job creation dialog
4. This opens a Job creation dialog. Within this dialog, clickto accept the Body as the Base Model, with no Template.
5. The Job Edit window opens in the Task window, and the model view Window shows the Stock as a wire frame cube surrounding the Base Body. The Setup Tab is selected.
6. The Output tab defines the output file path, name, extension, and the Postprocessor. For advanced users, Post Processor Arguments can be customized (mouse over to show tooltips of common arguments).
Above: Path Job Edit dialog with the Output tab selected
Above: Path Job Edit dialog with the Tools tab selected
7. Modify the Default tool by selecting it and clicking thebutton. This opens the Tool Controller edit window.
Above: Path Job Tool Controller subpanel Edit dialog
8. The name given to the tool and the tool number correspond with the tool number of the machine. In the dialog (see above) it's Tool Nr. 4. The tool controller is configured for horizontal and vertical feed rates of
2mm/s and a spindle speed of
9. Select the Tool subpanel of the Tool controller. Set the diameter (and if you wish to use the Path Simulation tool later: add a cutting edge angle and cutting edge height).
Above: Path Job Tool controller 'Tool' subpanel dialog
10. The values are confirmed with
Note: For easy access, all the tools can be predefined and selected from the Tool manager.
The Workplan tab initially is shown as empty. It is then populated by the sequence of Job Operations, Partial Path Commands, and Path Dressups. The sequence of these items is ordered here.
This tree is shown after the Job's configuration once the Path Job is unfolded:
The Path Operations
12. For now we will keep it simple. The Profile button opens the Contour panel. After confirming with using the default values, see the green path around the object is visible.
13. Selecting the bottom of the pocket and then the Pocket button opens the Pocket Shape window. The default values for Base Geometry, Depths, and Heights are used, and the Operation subpanel is selected, and the Step Over Percent is set at 50.
14. The pattern is changed to "Offset" and the Job Operation is confirmed for the pocket configuration with
The result is a model with two paths:
There are two ways to verify the created paths. The G-Code can be inspected, including highlighting the corresponding path segments. The milling process of the Path Job can also be simulated to demonstrate the idealized tool paths, required for the Tool geometries to mill the Stock.
To inspect the G-Code use the Path Inspect tool. Selecting the corresponding G-Code lines within the G-Code Inspection window highlights individual path segments.
Above: Path Inspection tool opens the G-Code Inspection dialog
To start the simulation use the Path Simulator tool.
Above: Path Simulation in progress
If you want to end the simulation click thebutton, it will remove the stock created for the simulation. If you click this object will be kept in your Job.
Postprocess the Job
The final step to generate G-Code for the target mill is to postprocess the Job. This outputs the G-Codes to a file that can be uploaded to the target CNC machine controller. To invoke the Postprocessor:
- Select the Job object in the tree view
- Select the Path Postprocessing tool to postprocess the file. This opens a G-Code window allowing inspection of the final output file before it is saved.

The Theatres That Never Closed - article by Victoria Shaskan
Friday 17 July 2020
Victoria Shaskan, Lewisham Youth Theatre's Executive Director, has written an article for Medium about their work across the lockdown with young people aged 8-24.
"These young artists come to our free youth theatre activities each week to work together with people from different areas and backgrounds, different experiences and needs; to express themselves and to create live performances that are often moving, inspirational and push the boundaries of artistic form. Like many of our colleagues who use the arts to empower the most vulnerable in our society, there was never the thought in our minds that we had the option to let them down"


text: We present the use of an entropy focus criterion to enable automatic focusing of motion corrupted magnetic resonance images. We demonstrate the principle using illustrative examples from cooperative volunteers. Our technique can determine unknown patient motion or use knowledge of motion from other measures as a starting estimate. The motion estimate is used to compensate the acquired data and is iteratively refined using the image entropy. Entropy focuses the whole image principally by favoring the removal of motion induced ghosts and blurring from otherwise dark regions of the image. Using only the image data, and no special hardware or pulse sequences, we demonstrate correction for arbitrary rigid-body translational motion in the imaging plane and for a single rotation. Extension to three-dimensional (3-D) and more general motion should be possible. The algorithm is able to determine volunteer motion well. The mean absolute deviation between algorithm and navigator-echo-determined motion is comparable to the displacement step size used in the algorithm. Local deviations from the recorded motion or navigator-determined motion are explained and we indicate how enhanced focus criteria may be derived. In all cases we were able to compensate images for patient motion, reducing blurring and ghosting.

close closes stream.
Closing a stream means
that it may no longer be used in input or output operations.
The act of closing a file stream
ends the association between the stream and its associated file;
the transaction with the file system is terminated,
and input/output may no longer be performed on the stream.
If abort is true, an attempt is made to clean up any side
effects of having created stream.
If stream performs output to a file
that was created when the stream was created, the
file is deleted and any previously existing file is not superseded.
It is permissible to close an already closed stream,
but in that case the result is implementation-dependent.
After stream is closed, it is still possible to perform
the following query operations upon it:
streamp, pathname, truename,
merge-pathnames, pathname-host, pathname-device,
pathname-type, pathname-version, namestring,
host-namestring, enough-namestring, open,
probe-file, and directory.
The effect of close on a constructed stream is
to close the argument stream only.
There is no effect on the constituents of composite streams.
For a stream created with make-string-output-stream,
the result of get-output-stream-string is unspecified after close.

The performance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is known to be severely affected in multipath scenarios, providing a biased position solution which could jeopardize possible geodetic-grade applications. Indeed, multipath estimation and/or mitigation has attracted the attention of many researchers in the recent years. Nevertheless, few attention has been given to the detection of multipath. That is to say, acknowledging that a given scenario is corrupted by multiple propagation paths, and thus using adequate techniques to combat its effect. This paper proposes a statistical multipath detector based on an antenna array GNSS receiver. Specifically, the detector resorts to the estimated noise covariance matrix to compute a statistic that measures the dispersion of its eigenvalues. The theoretical distribution of such statistic is known. This is used by the proposed method to perform a Kolmogorov-Smirnov one-sample test to assess departures from the theoretical distribution, with the resulting detector being Constant False Alarm Rate. The detector is analyzed in terms of its probability of detection and an analysis is provided regarding its behavior under synchronization errors. Results of the detector under realistic scenarios are also discussed.

NBC affiliate KXAS-TV had an interesting story this week, about the cost of text messaging. Text messages may cost you ten or twenty cents each to send, but if you are a prolific text messager, you probably have a plan that covers several hundred texts for a fixed price. In comparison to everything else on your cell phone bill, text messages may not seem like a lot of money, but some say the actual cost of sending a text message makes it the most expensive form of communication.
Cali Lewis of Greekbrief.TV says the amount of data being transferred is so minimal, that twenty cents per text is a ridiculous amount of money. "If I was to download a song, and a song is about four megabytes, using the same calculations, it would cost me $6,000."
Knowing how much text messages cost you to send compared to how little the cost the phone companies, will send fewer texts?

5 CALIBRATION AND CALIBRATION KIT
Full 2-port calibration is a highly accurate method of calibration for 2-port DUT
18.104.22.168 Sliding Load Calibration
In full one-port and full two-port calibrations it is possible to employ a SLIDING
LOAD calibration standard instead of a fixed one. The use of the SLIDING LOAD
standard allows for significant increase in calibration accuracy at high frequencies
compared to the FIXED LOAD standard.
The sliding load calibration involves a series of measurements in different positions of
the sliding element to compensate for reflection from the dissipation component.
To activate the sliding load calibration algorithm, the selected calibration kit should
contain the calibration standard of sliding load type, and it should be assigned "load"
class of the corresponding port. Calibration standard editing and class assignment are
further described in detail.
The sliding load calibration is not applied at lower frequencies. To eliminate this
limitation, use a FIXED LOAD standard in the lower part of the frequency range. For
combined calibration with SLIDING and FIXED LOADS, use the procedure of
standard subclasses assigning. This procedure is described in detail below.
22.214.171.124 Unknown Thru Calibration
An UNKNOWN THRU calibration standard is used only in full two-port calibration,
which is also known as SOLT (Short, Open, Load, Thru) calibration.
This calibration method involves connecting the test ports to each other, what is called
THRU. If the connectors' gender or type prevent direct connection, a DEFINED THRU
is used. But it is not always possible to know the exact parameters of the THRU, in this
case UNKNOWN THRU calibration is used.
An arbitrary two-port device with unknown parameters can be used as an UNKNOWN
THRU. An UNKNOWN THRU should satisfy only two requirements.
The first requirement applies to the transmission coefficient of the THRU. It should
satisfy the reciprocity condition (S
21 = S
12), which holds for almost any passive
network. Besides, it is not recommended to use a THRU with the loss higher than 20 dB
as it can reduce the calibration accuracy.
The second requirement is to know the approximate electrical length of the
UNKNOWN THRU within the accuracy of 1/4 of the wavelength at the maximum
calibration frequency. This requirement, however, can be omitted if the following
frequency increment is selected:
<DF , where τ0– delay of a two-port device.

Visible and Near-Infrared Views of the Meuse River and Rochers de Néviaux
August 18, 2013
Pano-wepion-vis-ir665-lombry

Photographer: Thierry Lombry
Summary Authors: Thierry Lombry; Jim Foster

The images above in visible (top) and near-infrared light (below) show the Meuse River and Rochers de Néviaux at Dave. Though the human eye detects light in the visible wavelengths, cameras, films and filters can be adjusted to perceive infrared light -- wavelengths that are invisible to human eyes. A little more than half of the energy emitted by the Sun arrives at Earth in the form of infrared radiation.

On this spring day, there's not much difference in brightness between the water and sky in near-infrared light -- both are relatively dark. However, land surfaces and clouds are very bright. There's hardly any contrast on the land surface in infrared light, especially compared to the visible wavelengths. This is because chlorophyll is reflective in the near-infrared wavelengths. Clouds, on the other hand, are easier to discern on the infrared image than on the visible image. Since the visible and the infrared images were acquired at slightly different times, their cloud patterns are different. Note that the red-colored spots on the house across the river in the middle of photo result from a sun shield placed in front of the windows. Photo taken on April 6, 2013.
Photo Details: The near-infrared image was taken with a Nikon D90 DSLR camera equipped with an internal Schott RG665 IR filter and 16-85 mm zoom lens. The normal image was taken with a D7000 camera, without filter. Images post-processed in Photoshop.

that Pi will generate 4-digit code itself, you do not edit anything and just click Submit.
If the Pi application verifies that you have successfully verified your account.
7. How to draw Pi?
You cannot withdraw the Pi. You will be able to withdraw Pi or exchange Pi for other currencies during Phase 3 of the project, when Pi switches to a completely decentralized blockchain. Phase 1 of Project Pi is on March 14, 2019 (Pi Day). In Stage 1, your balance is being recorded to wait for the day Pi reaches the mainnet (Phase 3). The transfer or withdrawal of Pi is restricted until the mainnet launch, to prevent fraudulent actions, such as clone users to dig Pi, then transfer Pi to another account and legalize the process. verify your account and use that nefarious Pi number.
8. Should you dig Pi on multiple phones?
No, you SHOULD NOT dig PI on many devices. Pi Network adheres to a strict rule, meaning that only one account can be used per person. Pi Network uses a multi-pronged strategy to ensure that fake accounts cannot exploit Pi
First, the Pi network uses Google Recaptcha v3 to know which devices are operated by humans or robots. (This technology is completely invisible to most users, because they are real people, but robots can see the captcha if the google algorithm captures them.) Over time, Pi Network is developing a machine learning algorithm based on actual user exploitation behavior to predict bots.
Second, the Pi consensus algorithm (security circle) makes it easy to detect fake accounts. The fake account will not have enough real people to link to them through the security circle. Thus fake accounts will have less linkage with the rest of the network. This anomaly is easy to detect with computer algorithms.
Finally, when Pi enters Stage 3 and 4 - Mainnet, only authenticated accounts can exist. Buy
9. Where to buy and sell Pi?
Currently, there is only 1 exchange, AACoin listed PI (_URL_ in the form of short purchase and sale, meaning that they buy and sell PI but do not actually own any PI. Because PIs have not been withdrawn until entering phase 3 (mainnet), all PI trading platforms are fraudulent. The Pi Core team also issued a warning. In addition, users should not buy and sell Pi transactions on the black market through the sale of accounts, because all of us have not been able to price Pi, so there are many potential risks.

Links for PMC's new and old.
With the.12 patch looming, and new players joining all the time, I thought I would create a post containing all the best and most relevant links to websites to aide new and old players alike. Below you will find a comprehensive list of the most useful pages I have found so far. Hope this is helpful, if you think it is, feel free to save the thread and share it to any new threads that pop up with titles like 'New player, how do I find this key/exit' or 'New player, what mods can I use for this gun', etc. If it gets enough upvotes and people think it is a good resource, I will keep it updated. Enjoy :D
This is a really handy resource as far as an ''outdated'' page for creating weapon builds from EFTDB. Select weapon at top, then select a mod for each slot. At the bottom of the page it will show you where you can buy the mods you selected and a rough price [actual price depends on various factors], along with the trader level required.
Note-1: If you mouse-hover the mods it will show its effect on weapon stats.
Note-2: It seems EFTDB is a bit outdated as some weapons and/or mods are missing, and trader levels may be different to current build. I still find it a really handy resource though, due to the ability to create weapon builds. Would love to see it updated.
This site has been mentioned as an alternative to EFTDB for making weapon builds, created by TarkovArmory. This one seems to be up to date, but is lacking pictures. They also seem to have a pretty good ammo chart on their website. Worth checking out.
As EFTDB is slightly out of date, you certainly can find all the up to date information on weapon attachments from the Gamepedia pages [below]. Select a weapon to see which mods will fit on it, or search the mod's name to be taken to its specific page. Or check the weapon mods page for tables of the mods and their +/- on attributes.
Below is a spreadsheet that shows the Optimum Weapon Builds for each weapon, created by Virion. So if you are a min/maxer, and don't want to go through the agony of experimenting with every mod for every weapon, this is a handy resource. The ones in BOLD are the current 'best' of their calibre/category.
Note: As mentioned on the spreadsheet itself, some of the images are outdated.
Another handy page from EFTDB is this one which shows each Tactical Rig, the rough price, if it can be traded for and from whom and what Loyalty Level required; along with the layout of the slots available in handy images.
Note: As mentioned above, EFTDB is slightly outdated, for example, there are a few rigs missing from this page. At the bottom of this article is a link to an infographic created by Veritas, which has a section showing all current rigs.
This is a good place to find all the best maps, compiled by GameMaps.co.uk but created by various people. I suggest where possible, when learning any raid, it can be helpful to have a map open on a second monitor if you have one, until you learn your way around. With enough experience you will learn the maps and points of interest better than the back of your hand, so the more you play the less you will need it. There is a selection of high quality maps for each raid, I am sure everyone will prefer one or another, I prefer the 3D maps where available. Some maps show spawns for keys and quest items/locations.
Next is the best place to find all the quests, and quest-guides. The folks who contribute to the Tarkov Gamepedia page are legit legends. Select the trader to see a table of their quests and rewards. Click on any individual quest and you will be greeted by a detailed guide of how to complete the quest, along with handy pictures and maps where necessary.
To go along with this, a handy guide to items you should be hoarding to finish quests. So you can be collecting things from your first raid you might use to complete a quest 2 weeks later. This image is updated when the quests are. There used to be a text-based list, which I found really handy, because I copy/pasted into a.txt file and updated it when I found new items from the list, this sadly I can no longer find.
If you want to know what the traders sell at loyalty level 4, but you are only LL1, these pages will give you an overview of what each trader has at each level. You can also see a table of their quests too if you expand that option, but I find the previous link provided above is handier for that purpose to be honest.

Note-1: Fence Trader only sells things that PMC's have traded to him, can be a handy place to find rare items sometimes [less so since the flea market was launched], but items generally are cheaper to buy directly from the traders if you have the required loyalty levels.
Note-2: The Flea Market is a player driven system where you can buy and sell items. Some items will be up for Roubles/Euros/Dollars and some will be up for trade for other items people might require.
Note-3: A few items, such as melee weapons can only be sold to Fence, or put on the Flea Market. Other items can only be sold to certain traders, for instance Therapist will not buy weapons, but is the only trader that will take meds from you [other than fence].
Note-4: Several items can be sold to several traders, but you will get a different price depending on which trader you sell it to. For instance, Therapist will give you the highest price for rare items like Roosters/Clocks/Rollers/Bitcoins/Gold Chains/Cat Figurines/Lion Statues.
Note-5: Even though certain items have a high price to trade in, it might be worth holding onto them to trade in for other items. For example, you can trade in 1 roller and 5 gold chains to Therapist for a Money Case, which you can then sell back to her for more money than if you just sold her the individual items, or can be put on the Flea Market if you prefer.
Below is a site showing a table of Barter Trades created by Sheiddy. It provides information regarding which items can be given to each trader in return for other items. It also displays where the original items can often be found, and the rough price of the items you can receive if you were to pay

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a universal homeomorphism of regular (excellent finite-dimensional) schemes, $Z\subset Y$ be a regular subscheme. Is $f^{-1}(Z)$ necessarily regular?

2 Answers 2

Well, $f^{-1}Z$ could easily be non-reduced (for example, take the relative Frobenius morphism $\mathbb A^1_k \to \mathbb A^1_k$, defined by the embedding $k[y] = k[x^p] \subseteq k[x]$, where $k$ is a field of characteristic $p > 0$, and let $Z \subseteq \mathbb A^1$ be defined by $y = 0$), so I would guess that the question should be interpreted as asking whether $f^{-1}Z$ with its reduced structure is regular. But the answer is negative even in this case. For example, take the morphism $\mathbb A^2_k \to \mathbb A^2_k$ defined by the embedding $k[y,t] = k[x^p, t] \subseteq k[x, t]$, and let $Z \subseteq \mathbb A^2_k $ be defined by $y + t^{p+1} = 0$.
share|improve this answer
Can't we base-change $f : X \to Y$ with $Z$ and obtain: $g : f^{-1}(Z) \to Z$? This also is a universal homeomorphism by construction, right? So now we have a universal homeomorphism to a regular scheme, but a regular scheme is weakly normal, see A. Andreotti and E. Bombieri, ''Sugli omeomorfismi delle varietà algebriche''.
Therefore $g$ is an isomorphism at least as long as $f^{-1}(Z)$ is reduced and the map $g$ is birational.
EDIT: My argument that $f^{-1}(Z)$ was reduced was junk. I shouldn't have tried to do math while on the run. But as long as $f^{-1}(Z)$ is reduced and $g$ is birational, then I think things are ok.

Sorry, why $f$ being a universal homeomorphism contradicts its generic inseparablity? – Mikhail Bondarko Mar 20 '11 at 13:09

Background: Students may become less adept at developing strong patientphysician relationships during medical school. We evaluated whether students choosing careers in surgery show a similar negative trend. Methods: Scores from 2 validated measurements of medical personality were compared using repeated-measures analysis of variance. The Patient Provider Orientation Scale (PPOS) assesses whether students are more patient-centered or paternalistic, and the Physician Reaction to Uncertainty Scale (PRUS) measures willingness to disclose uncertainty. Results: From 1998 to 2005, 236 students completed the PPOS and PRUS in the first and third year of medical school. Surgical students remained patient-centered in their first and third year of medical school (mean PPOS, 4.5 vs 4.54, respectively; P <.348). In addition, they became more willing to disclose uncertainty (mean PRUS improved from 25.5 to 23.8; P <.002). Conclusions: Students choosing careers in surgery maintain or improve upon personality traits that are important for developing strong patientphysician relationships. All rights reserved.

Selecting an anchor link with content, such as test link, I can see three different ways to do it using XPath:
a[text()="test link"]
a[.="test link"]
a[contains(text(), "test link")]
What are the differences between the three? The last option appears that it would take longer by virtue of it being an extension of the first.

You can find an Xpath specification here. Your first xpath matches an anchor that contains exactly the string "test link". The last xpath matches an anchor whose contents includes the substring "test link". No doubt it is slower, but the depending on the circumstances, the performance difference may be insignificant.
As far as I can tell, the first and second xpaths are equivalent.

 4. Use case
 5. Use case: why have 2 UIs ? • Web UIs
 are what information/content consumers expect • The command line is the developers bread and butter
 6. Use case: why have 2 UIs ? • To run
 a program with a graphical UI (IDE…) • To access a program options • To assemble a command pipeline (shell…) • To run vim/emacs, atop/htop ... • To manage a remote instance over SSH • To control a running program (docker)

 10. Technical choices
 11. Technical choices: web - for this demo • Why use
 any given web framework ? • Use none: optimal for micro-services, rarely so for other cases ◦ Dynamic paths ◦ Argument validators / loaders ◦ Method ﬁltering ◦ Path groups mounting • Gorilla/mux: ◦ minimal ◦ maximal popularity ◦ deﬁnes the original middleware format for Go ◦ used for this example, trivial to convert to your own framework of choice
 12. Technical choices: web - for an actual project • Gin
 _URL_ ◦ speciﬁcally optimized for APIs ◦ simple, fast • Beego _URL_ ◦ inspired by Django, ◦ still simple, good tools (ORM, runner) • Buffalo _URL_ ◦ for more traditional web projects you would do in Laravel of Symfony ◦ feature-rich, aggregating third party components ◦ Pop ORM, Plush templates, I18n… ◦ Documentation available in English, French, Italian, Spanish • Revel _URL_ ◦ What Buffalo does, but doing it since 2013
 13. Technical choices: text UI • Pre-history: _URL_ • nsf/termbox-go :
 ncurses rethought in Go. Very popular. Abandoned. • gdamore/tcell : the pretender. Fast, Unicode, colors, mouse. • gizak/termui : ascii graphics for dashboards like expvarmon • JoelOtter/termloop : optimized for full-screen text games • jroimartin/gocui : basic text-mode windows • rivo/tview : widgets, windows, application, layout (ﬂex!), 256 colors, mouse, sound, Unicode, based on tcell. • VladimirMarkelov/clui: TurboVision TNG :-O tview FTW !

 17. TView: code structure 1. Create Widgets: Button, Text, List …
 2. Conﬁgure them ◦ Either using their Box embedded ﬁeld: SetTitle, SetBackgroundColor ... ◦ Or using their speciﬁc methods: Checkbox.SetChecked, Table.InsertRow … 3. Add event handlers on widgets implementing FormItem ◦ Either adding children: List.AddItem(pri, sec, run, func()) *List ◦ Or directly: List.SetSelectedFunc(func(int, string, string, rune) *List) 4. Create an application with NewApplication 5. Conﬁgure its top-level widget with Application.SetRoot 6. Add a top-level event handler with Application.SetInputCapture 7. Start the event loop with Application.Run.
 18. TView: Hello, world ! package main import "_URL_" func main()
 { tv := tview.NewButton("Hello, world!") tview.NewApplication().SetRoot(tv, true).Run() }
 19. TView: all components
 20. TView: custom components • Creating custom components means implementing TView.Primitive
 - Blur, Draw, Focus, GetFocusable, GetRect, InputHandler, MouseHandler, SetRect ◦ Either directly, or by composing a Box like most existing components do • Or more simply: ◦ Overload the Draw method on an existing component ◦ Hook into draw steps with Application.Draw: SetBeforeDrawFunc(), SetAfterDrawFunc() ◦ Catch mouse/keyboard events ▪ Globally: Application.SetInputCapture() ▪ On a Primitive: Box.SetInputCapture()

Beschreibung:
This book studies the "Redox Complex", a complex of unconventional geophysical-geochemical exploration techniques used for the indirect detection, characterization and evaluation of various metal targets, while also illustrating selected applications of unconventional geophysical-geochemical methods for oil exploration in Cuba. This complex is successfully applied in various fields: oil & gas and metal ores exploration; studies of oil and metal contaminants in soils; and the search for metallic archaeological burials. The use of these techniques is intended to complement the conventional prospecting complex by reducing areas and/or facilitating the selection of the most favorable targets, improving the economical-geological effectiveness of investigations in the process. Further, the Redox Complex can be implemented without physical or chemical damage to the environment.
The book's primary goals are to: 1) outline the general features characterizing the processes of metal mobilization, transport and accumulation on surficial media; 2) outline the methodology, data interpretation and mathematical apparatus that support quantitative estimates of the Redox Complex; and 3) design a database and applications system (the Redox System) to address storage processes, reports, graphics and the corresponding interpretations of the Redox Complex in a quick and reliable way.
To do so, it examines the regions of Havana-Matanzas (Varadero Oil Field, Cantel Oil Field and Madruga Prospect) and Ciego de Ávila (Pina Oil Field, Cristales Oil Field, Jatibonico Oil Field, Jatibonico Oeste Prospect and Cacahual Prospect). The methods covered include, in some cases, airborne gamma spectrometry (K/eTh ratio) beside ORP and, in others, the Redox Complex with reduced or standard attributes. In all cases, the anomalous complex of interest corresponds to the correlation of the minimum K/eTh ratio with minimum ORP and, in the case of the Redox Complex, Magnetic Susceptibility highs with ORP lows, Spectral Reflectance lows and maximum Content of Chemical Elements (V, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe).

What Is The Fuel Capacity Of A Formula 1 Car?
Formula 1 is an ever-growing and developing sport. The series has taken huge strides in improving technologies used in road cars. Fuel efficiency development is no different, and it has led to many changes over the years in terms of the fuel capacity of Formula 1 cars.
A Formula 1 car's fuel capacity is 110 kilograms. This fuel load has to last the car for the entirety of the race which is 305km (190 miles). The fuel burns at a much faster rate than normal cars due to the higher performance level the engines run at.
Formula 1 has developed a number of technical innovations in order to improve fuel efficiency. From KERS to hybrid power, Formula 1 is constantly pushing technology to become better. Most of these technologies are also implemented directly into road cars.
How Much Fuel Do F1 Cars Carry?
No More Refueling
With refueling during races being banned after the 2009 season, Formula 1 teams have had to develop their engines to become much more fuel efficient. They can no longer burn as much fuel as they like in order to go faster.
It has become a challenge both for engineers and drivers to get their cars from the start of the race all the way to the end without running out of fuel. Everything needs to be carefully calculated, and the engine performance needs to be monitored properly in order to stay fast enough to remain competitive.
Going The Distance
The average distance of a Formula 1 race is 305 kilometers (190 miles). This might not seem all that far for a car to go, however keep in mind these cars are driving on the limit which consumes the fuel at a much faster rate. They are also designed specifically to go just that distance and not much further.
Formula 1 cars are built to the bare minimum of what they are required to do. This is why they carry 110kg at most, with them taking on even less for qualifying laps to keep the car as light as possible. For example, building a bigger fuel tank for your car would make your car slower. It would become heavier, and there is no need to put extra fuel into the car which would slow it down.
Different Engine Modes
Instead, Formula 1 teams have very clever systems on their cars. The engine modes can be controlled from the cockpit of the car as well as the pit wall. If the car is running low on fuel, the engine can be turned down so that it uses less fuel but will not be performing at such a high level.
It's very rare for a Formula 1 car to not complete a race due to running out of fuel. Everything is calculated perfectly. Normally teams will start with 2 extra laps of fuel onboard. This is to allow for a possible safety car situation or an extra formation lap.
This also allows them to run the engine at a higher performance level later in the race if they need to catch up to a car in front to overtake. This engine mode system has made its way into road legal cars quite a while ago and has become extremely common to find in modern day cars.
The Efficiency Of Formula 1 Cars
Small But Mighty
Formula 1 have been at the forefront of improving the efficiency of cars. The days of racing with huge V12, V10, or even V8 engines are gone. Formula 1 cars now have turbocharged V6 engines that sometimes manage to produce over 1000 horsepower.
The current crop of Formula 1 cars produces more power while using less fuel than any other car. The hybrid power unit has been designed as a part of a new sustainable outlook for Formula 1. They also use sustainable fuels and energy recovery systems to make the cars more efficient.
Formula 1 has not only developed the engine to become more efficient, but they have also trialed and implemented various new technologies such as the KERS system. The KERS, or Kinetic Energy Recovery System has also been used in road cars to improve their engine efficiency and power output.
KERS started off as a small battery in the car. The battery is charged by using the kinetic energy generated while the car is braking. The driver can then choose where to use the extra power at the press of a button.
KERS was first used in Formula 1 in 2009 and was not widely accepted at first. However, the technology quickly gained a lot of traction, and eventually the battery could provide a power boost of up to 180 horsepower per lap.
Since its introduction into the sport, the KERS system has developed to become more powerful, more efficient and more durable. The system is still in use today with a stronger battery. The battery still charges under braking, with a red light flashing at the back of the car to show that the battery is harvesting energy.
A Lap Of Extra Power
The battery can then deploy energy for a full lap depending on its charging state and the amount of power it has in it. In previous years, the battery could only deploy energy for around 10 seconds per lap. This helps to push up the power output of the seemingly small engines on modern Formula 1 cars.
The 2020 Mercedes F1 engine is 50% thermally efficient. Your typical road car has a thermal efficiency of around 30%. Thermal efficiency is the ratio of work done by the engine compared to the heat supplied to it. In other words, it is the percentage of heat energy in a combustion engine that is transformed into power (or its working rate).
Relevance To The Real World
The key to all of these innovations in the sport is to remain relevant to the real world. As mentioned previously, all of the technologies tested and used in Formula 1 are implemented into real world road cars.
Road Cars
Mercedes-Benz for example are now using a form of the KERS device in some of their newer road cars. They, along with others such as Renault, are using their hybrid technology from Formula 1 in their road cars very successfully.
Formula 1 plans to become carbon neutral by the year 2030. This means that both the cars, and the forms of travel (transporting cars, crew and drivers) will have a net carbon footprint of exactly zero percent.
More Efficient Than A Plane
This in itself is a massive challenge. However, it's not impossible. A full 20 race season of Formula 1 (with 20 cars) uses the same amount of fuel as a Boeing 747 flight across the Atlantic. This proves that these cars are already super-efficient in their fuel usage.
By the year 2030, we are going to see cars with incredible technology, fuel efficiency, and energy recovery systems. Formula 1 will continue to push the limits of technology, not only for the world of motorsport, but also for our everyday lives.
Looking To The Future
As technology in Formula 1 develops, so will the tech that we get in our everyday road cars. The future is exciting, and we are going to see some big changes in the motorsport sphere as well as the automotive industry as a whole.
Final Thoughts
Formula 1 has been the ultimate engineer's playground for many years. In recent years they have focused on making the cars more fuel efficient without increasing the fuel capacity of the car (remaining at 110kg).
This is all in line with the 2030 net-zero carbon footprint plan laid out by the Formula 1 Management team and the FIA. The plan is to develop even more efficient cars and to work on more energy recovery systems and become more sustainable.

You can use this instructions also for grapefruits or lemons. Let me show you how this is done:
You would need:
- a sharp knife – the sharper the knife the less 'juice-loss' you are going to have. If you use a serrated knife you may as well use a hacksaw.
- non-slip cutting board
- sharp paring or chef's knife – not serrated
1. Cut the top and bottom off the orange.
2. Set your knife where the pith (white stuff) meets the flesh and start cutting downward in a curved motion following the shape of the orange.
3. Turn the orange a bit counterclockwise and repeat. If you turn it clockwise the blade will cover the pith/flesh and you will not be able to see where to cut. Cut – turn – cut – turn – cut – turn 'till you're done.

CONSTRUCTION OF OBSTACLE ELEMENT MAP BASED ON INDOOR SCENE RECOGNITION
Keywords: PointNet, Point cloud, Indoor scenes, Markov Random Field, Semantic recognition, Obstacle element map
Abstract. Route planning and navigation in indoor space have become a hot topic recently. To accomplish this task, a map and a real-time detection system are needed. Due to Lidar systems' high efficiency in data acquisition, Lidar sensors have become an indispensable part of an object detection system. In this paper, we use Lidar points to generate obstacle maps. The obstacle maps can be used as a reference for route planning and navigation. To identify single objects more precisely, a deep network combined PointNet with Markov Random Field (MRF) is designed in our work to classify Lidar points. Then, single objects are segmented by using the Euclidean clustering method. After that, the prior rules and derived criteria we summarized from large amount images are used to determine objects' kind between Influence Movement Obstacles (IMO) and Non-Influence Movement Obstacles (N-IMO). Finally, objects are projected into a 2D plane to generate obstacle maps. To evaluate the performance of our method, experiments were performed on the S3DIS dataset of Stanford University. The results show that our method greatly improves the overall accuracy compared to the original PointNet model, and can generate high-quality obstacle maps.

Definición de person of colour en inglés:
person of colour
Saltos de línea: per¦son of col¦our
 - A person who is not white or of European parentage: more women, more people of colour, and more immigrants will enter the workforce
 Más ejemplos en oraciones
 - For the purposes of this article, an interracial family is defined as any partnership between a white person, a person of color, and their offspring.
 - In the years preceding our new strategy, we had been a department of nine or ten white people and one person of color.
 - I don't think I've ever been in a place where every single service-worker was a person of colour or obviously a new immigrant.
The term person of colour is first recorded at the end of the 18th century. It was revived in the 1990s as the recommended term to use in some official contexts, especially in US English, to refer to a person who is not white. The term is not common in general use, however, where terms such as non-white are still used.

the completion of Q with
respect to [. [~. In precisely the same way, the field of p-adic numbers Qp is
the completion of Q with respect to [.[p. In particular, Q is dense in Qp
(with respect to [.[p) as well as in ~ (with respect to ]I+)-
A less abstract definition of a p-adic number, which can be shown to
be equivalent, is based on the following property: every p-adic number can
be written in a unique way as a power series
x= ~ xjp J (2.4)
where e e 2~ is again called the ordinal of x and where the xj (called the
digits) take integer values
O<,xj<~p-1, 0<x~p-1 (2.5)
The series (2.4) always converges (with respect to [.[p) and provides
us with a very concrete realization of Qp. Note that it is unique, while in
the case of ~, ambiguities are possible: 1 and 0.999... define the same real
number.
It is important to realize that while the absolute value [-[+, when
extended from Q to N, can take any positive (real) value, the p-adic norm
[.[p even when extended from Q to Qp keeps on taking a discrete set of
values, namely powers of p. It follows that many elements of Qp have the
p-Adic Dynamics 897
same norm. For example, there are an infinite number of "units" (i.e.,
numbers of norm IXlp= 1) given by
x = Xo + ~ x:p j (2.6)
j=l
where the digit x o is different from zero.
There is no ordering among p-adic numbers with the same norm. In
this respect Qp is similar to the complex numbers C. The relevance of this
remark comes from the fact that it is the ordered character of N which lies
at the heart of, e.g., Sarkovskii's theorem. ~
The Qp's and ~ are all distinct number fields. For example, + i and
+x/'6 belong to Qs but + x / ~ does not! What these assertions precisely
mean is that the equations x 2 - 6 = 0 and x ~ + 1 = 0 do admit solutions on
Qs while x 2 - 5 = 0 does not! More generally, one can show, as a con-
sequence of Hensel's lemma, (3'4) that for any p-adic number aeQp, its
square root ~ will belong to Qp (p >>.3) if a has an even ordinal and if its
first digit is a square modulo p!
The non-Archimedean nature of the p-adic norm has of course far-
reaching consequences. First of all, it implies what is usually called
"ultrametricity": any "triangle" with "sides" x, y, and x - y is necessarily,
isosceles, i.e., if, say, [Xlp < lylp, then I x - Y l p = [Ylp! It follows that Qp is
a disconnected field: subsets of Qp have no boundaries, or, more precisely,
they are both open and closed with respect to the topology induced by l" [?.
For example, the so-called p-adie integers Yp = { x l x E Qp, ]Xlp ~< l } can
also be defined a s ~_p={XlX~Qp, ]Xlp<p}. This implies in particular
that a "large" p-adic number cannot be constructed as the sum of many
"small" ones or, in other words, that there is no "path" in Qp since the
"path" concept relies on the possibility of covering a big distance in many
small steps. These consequences of the non-Archimedean nature of the
p-adic norm are somewhat counterintuitive and take a while to get used
to. But there are also enormous simplifications that come with them. First,
approximations are much easier to control than on ~, since small errors do
not add up to give bigger ones. Similarly, the convergence of series is
significantly simpler to study o n Qp than on ~: the series Z a,q n will con-
verge o n Qp iff lim,~oo [anq"lp-+O.
It should be clear from the preceding remarks that all theorems of real
analysis which rely on the "connectedness" of ~ will have no p-adic
counterparts. In particular, there is no intermediate value or mean value
theorem and hence continuous functions from, say, Zp to 7/p will not
necessarily have a fixed point.
The field of complex numbers C is a "quadratic extension" of N. The
898 Thiran e t al.
field C has the rather remarkable properties of being complete [with
respect to the extended absolute value: la + bil ~ - - ( a 2 + be) ~/2] as well as
algebraically closed (every polynomial equation on C admits a solution in
C). For each Qp, there is also an algebraically closed and complete exten-
sion f2p, which is, however, considerably more complicated to construct
than C. We will have no use of s in this paper.
Despite all the differences between ~ and Qp we will show in the next
sections that simple nonlinear mappings on Qp present astonishing
similarities with similar mappings on N! If nothing else, this strongly
suggests that there are "characteristic features" of dynamical systems which
do not even depend on the number fields used to model them.
3. Q U A D R A T I C M A P P I N G S A N D CYCLES
Our main interest will be in quadratic mappings
x ~ g ( x ) = a 2 x 2 + al x + ao (3.1)
where x, a0, a~, a2 all belong to Qp and p i> 3. 4
Through a simple conjugacy, (3.1) can be brought to the canonical
form
x ~f(x) = x 2+ a (3.2)
Indeed, let T be the linear transformation on Qp,
T ( x ) = 2x + # (3.3)
and thus
T-X(x) = (x- #)/2 (3.4)
Choosing 2 = a2 and # = al/2, one easily obtains
( T g T - 1)(x) = x 2 + a (3.5)
with
a = aoa2 + a f t 2 - a~/4 (3.6)
More generally one has
Tg" = f " T (3.7)
4As is often the case in number theory, p = 2 is somewhat special and we prefer to ignore it.
p-Adic Dynamics 899
where g" denotes, as usual, the nth iteration of the map g. Conjugate maps
are of course equivalent (~) in the sense that they exhibit the same
dynamical properties such as cycles, fixed points, etc.
Let us consider the mapping (3.2) starting from some initial p-adic
number xi~. If la]p ~ 1, we have
If"(&~)lp ~< 1 if Ix~,lp ~< 1 (3.8)
and
If'~(xin)lp~ if Ixi~lp > 1 (3.9)
On the other hand, if [alp> t, starting with Ixffnl~> lal~ or IX~nlp< lal~
leads to
,lim If~(x~n)lp ~
If [X~n]p= lalp, the iterative process will not diverge if and only if there is a
"conspiracy" at each step such that
[~fq(Xin)] 2 -~ af p = laf 1/2 (3.10)
This is possible only if ~ belong to Qp.
In the following we will be concerned only with orbits
{x, f(x), f2(x) ..... f " ( x ) } which remain bounded when n ---, oo.
Fixed points of the map (3.2) are solutions o f f ( x ) - - x , i.e., they are
given by
1 + (1 - 4 a ) 1/2
x+_ = 2 (3.11)
where the square root may or may not exist in Qv depending on the values
of a and p. Clearly, if this square root does not exist in Qp, there is no fixed
point.
Similarly, ~12) points of primitive period 2 are solutions of
f2(x) - x -- 1 + ( - 3 -- 4a) 1/2
- - -0, i.e., x+ = (3.12)
f ( x ) -- x - 2
For higher-order cycles, of course, exact formulas do not exist, in general.
A cycle of order n, with f n ( f f ) = 2, is attractive if, for x close to if, f"(x) is
closer. For a smooth enough map, this is equivalent to [fn(s 1 and
since
f"(x
