Proximity matrix for data
prox = proximity(B,X)
prox = proximity(B,X) computes a numeric matrix of size Nobs-by-Nobs of proximities for data X, where Nobs is the number of observations (rows) in X. Proximity between any two observations in the input data is defined as a fraction of trees in the ensemble B for which these two observations land on the same leaf. This is a symmetric matrix with ones on the diagonal and off-diagonal elements ranging from 0 to 1.

Bulk cargo is a product that is shipped loosely and unpackaged.
Bulk cargo is a shipping term for items that are shipped loosely and unpackaged as opposed to being shipped in packages or containers.
An item may be classified as bulk cargo if it is not containerized and easily secured on a vessel. Items such as oil, grain, or coal are all examples of bulk cargo.
Bulk cargo is classified as either free flowing, a liquid, or a dry item. This type of cargo is typically dropped or poured as a liquid or solid into a merchant ship, railway car, or tanker truck.
Items may also be referred to as break bulk cargo, which is cargo that is packaged but non-containerized. Some examples of break bulk include drummed fuel, bagged cement, vehicles, and large parts to build an airplane. Items described as break bulk cargo can be transported in bags, barrels, and pallets.
Use the following diagram to determine if your product classifies as bulk cargo:

Giovanni Antonio Scopoli (June 3, 1723 - May 8, 1788) was an Italian-Austrian physician and naturalist.
Scopoli was born at Cavalese in the Val di Fiemme, the son of a lawyer. He obtained a degree in medicine at University of Innsbruck, and practiced as a doctor in Cavalese and Venice. Much of his time was spent collecting plants and insects in the Alps. He spent two years as private secretary to the Count of Seckan, and then was appointed as physician of the mines in Idrija, a small village in Slovenia, remaining there for sixteen years. In 1761 he published De Hydroargyro Idriensi Tentamina on the symptoms of mercury poisoning among miners.
Scopoli spent time studying the local natural history, publishing Flora Carniolica (1760) as well as a major work on entomology. He also published Anni Historico-Naturales (1769-72), which included descriptions of new birds from various collections.
In 1769 Scopoli was appointed a senior lecturer at Mining Academy at Chemnitz, and in 1777 transferred to the University of Pavia. His last work was Deliciae Flora et Fauna Insubricae (1786-88), which included scientific names for birds and mammals described by Pierre Sonnerat in the accounts of his voyages.
The drug Scopolamine is named after him. The standard botanical author abbreviation Scop. is applied to species he described.

There two methods used to lock/unlock the car via a smart phone. Namely; short form or long form communication. SLICK's key value proposition is that it uses short form communication. This enables a direct connection from your phone to the SLICK hardware unit via Bluetooth. Therefore, you can:
- Easily connect to your car even when you are out of network coverage area/underground, as there is no internet requirement.
- Ensure higher safety and prevent unauthorized access, as you need to be physically present within 5-10 meters of the car to access it.
- Establish a faster & direct connection
- Have lesser points of failure.

In Sky Tango, you trace the cycles of the moon and the sun by creating series of cards that illustrate the passing of time. Eclipses can appear and ruin your paths, but don't let them discourage you for the sun and moon will always reappear. Will your solar and lunar cycles lead you to victory?
In game terms, the deck of cards consists of numbered sun and moon cards (some of which feature animals) as well as eclipse cards. Players place the cards in stacks in ascending order, either in front of themselves or in front of others. When a stack is five cards high, it can be removed and scored for points. Stacks can be interrupted by eclipse cards, which in turn can be covered by the appropriate sun or moon cards. Playing a card with an animal allows a player to play again, which is sometimes advantageous, but sometimes not. The player who removes the most cards from play wins!

Happy New Year! And best wishes for a healthy and prosperous year for all my readers and their families.
On the first day of a new year it seems appropriate to write an exercise based on calendars. Unix provides a
cal command to print calendars. There are several forms:
cal— prints a calendar for the current month
calyear — prints a twelve-month calendar for the specified year; note that year 10 occurred during the time of Christ, so you must specify 2010 for the current year
calmonth year — prints a calendar for the specified month and year; the month is given as a number from 1 to 12
cal -3— prints a three-month calendar for the prior month, current month and next month
The current date is highlighted wherever it appears.

Total Carbonates Detection in Soil
In use from 2008-07-14
Free carbonates are compounds that coat soil particles. They form under certain conditions such as in dry climates where the pH is above 7. They are also found in some soil profiles that have parent materials made of carbonates (such as limestone).
Carbonate can be detected by measuring the CO2 generated by dissolving the carbonates. By dissolving carbonates in a fixed volume, the pressure increase in samples relative to the blanks will indicate the CO2 generated by carbonate dissolution. The Ideal Gas Law can be used to calculate the moles of CO2 in the headspace, from which the approximate quantity of carbonate can be estimated, and results can be expressed as % of total dry weight using the amount of soil that was added. Shortand long-term increases in pressure can be assumed to reflect calcite and dolomite, respectively.
- Absolute Pressure Gauge (MKS Baratron Type 122A)
- Needle adapter
- Stopwatch or clock
- Data book
- Safety glasses
- 12-mL Labco Exetainers with screw caps and septa
- 10-mL Glass syringe with 24G or 22G needle (for acid addition)
- 5 M hydrochloric acid
Soil samples ideally would be dried and finely ground (< 0.5-mm diameter) to facilitate reaction with acid.
- Weigh approximately 1.0 g (+/- 0.2 g) of dry soil into the vial, recording the exact weight. Seal the vial with the cap and septum.
- Inject 2 mL of the 5-M HCl into the vial and mix it with the soil, holding it in the hood and pointing the top away from you just in case the septum blows out. Wear safety glasses from this step onward. Also inject acid into a couple of vials containing 1.0 g of carbonate-free soil to serve as blanks.
- After 10 minutes, mix the solution again and record the pressure using the transducer. The 10-min period is necessary for full dissolution of calcite.
- Remove the vial from the transducer and briefly open the vial to vent excess pressure wearing safety glasses, and then seal the cap again.
- Measure pressure in the system again after 2-4 hours. Record time and pressure to check for additional dissolution of carbonate. Any pressure increase between 10 min and 2 hours is most likely due to dolomite dissolution.

Moods of Nature
Symbolist artists rejected the prevailing style of Naturalism, which sought to replicate the material world from a rationalist point of view. In contrast, the Symbolists expressed a world beyond superficial appearances and used subjects and motifs to create underlying meanings.
The landscape also aided artists to articulate nationalist concerns. By carefully selecting scenes that had special national significance, artists were able to promote their homeland or suggest the notion of a waning culture. The Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, for example, drew on the mythology and imagery of his native country to assert Finnish independence from Russia.
Landscape painting offered artists the chance to fuse their own concerns with those of a wider public. Though individualism and expression lie at the heart of Symbolist art, the placing of events in a specific setting and the use of local attributes provided viewers with recognisable imagery and articulated the broader issues of the age.


Many of these tigers are kept in captivity or chained in cages of a zoo.
But there is a peculiar Buddhist temple in Thailand called the Tiger Temple, or Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua.
This temple in Kanchanaburi, Thailand has become a popular tourist destination for its uniqueness.
Tiger with a Buddhist Monk in Thailand
The tigers in this temple live peacefully with Buddhist monks.
The Buddhist monks feed them, tend to them and protect them from external dangers.
The monks believe that the tigers are reincarnations of ancient monks.
Hence, they are convinced of the fact that these tigers won't harm humans.
The monks encourage tourists to click intimate pictures with tigers.
Here, we can see a woman caressing a tiger on her lap.
A woman caresses a tiger
The cute tigers seem to be accustomed to human interaction.
Rather than acting like wild animals, they calmly allow humans to get rub their belly!
Man and Tiger in playful mood.
However, humans can interact with the tigers only for a couple of hours in a day.
These tigers are allowed to rest, roam and play with each other for most part of the day.
Many locals and foreigners volunteer to monitor the tigers and take care of the temple.
Tigers are huge creatures with an enormous appetite!
Hence, many people work together to ensure that these tigers are taken care of properly.
Income from tourists is used for the up-keep of the tiger temple.
The monks and volunteers share a deep sense of compassion towards these tigers.
While these tigers may never be able to go back to the wild, this tiger temple ensures that these beautiful creatures never fall prey to hunters and poachers.
This an an extraordinary reserve which defies all rules of the wild.
But the Thai monks at the tiger temple assert that they have dedicated their whole life for the conservation and protection of tigers.
Major efforts need to be taken for the conservation of this beautiful animal.
The world needs takes steps to improve the population of tigers.

Sri Lanka Ship Causes Environmental Disaster
A burning ship off the coast off Sri Lanka has leaked hazardous chemicals into the eco system, causing an environmental disaster. The ship in question, the X-Press Pearl, has been branded 'the toxic ship' by the BBC due to the devastating impact that the incident has caused.
Why is the Sri Lanka ship disaster so harmful?
This environmental disaster has been regarded one of the worst in Sri Lankan history, and now most of the ship has settled at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. This makes matters worse, as the ship's cargo contained 25 tonnes of many harmful chemicals, such as methanol, nitric acid and sodium methoxide. The ship was also carrying 28 containers of raw materials that can be used to make plastic bags. These chemicals and other materials can be incredibly harmful to both humans and wildlife, and many fish and other marine animals have been found lifeless on the beaches of Sri Lanka.
The impact on marine life
The impact that this event has had on marine wildlife has been catastrophic. Fish, birds and turtles have been found on the beaches with microplastics in their systems. The plastic pellets that are used to make plastic bags are reportedly the most harmful to the marine life, as they can be fatal.
A coordinator at the Pearl Protectors, which is an organisation dedicated to protecting marine life in Sri Lanka, Muditha Katuwawala, has said that what happened here was very close to a "nuclear disaster", thus illustrating just how devastating this disaster is. It has been reported that the country may not recover from this for years, or even decades to come.
Loss of livelihood
Fisherman have also been banned from going any closer than a 50-mile radius of the incident. This has negatively impacted their lives as their livelihood and income have disappeared almost overnight.
Fishing has been banned despite the huge clean-up operation that is underway, as well as the many law enforcement officers and firemen that have been tackling Sri Lanka's biggest environmental disaster.
Could it have been avoided?
It is said that the fire was caused by a leak of nitric acid, a substance that the ship was carrying. This has been argued to have been caused by the nitric acid not being stored correctly, or not handled correctly. This leak was discovered at Qatar's Hamad Port, and the ship in question, X-Press Pearl, had requested to discharge the dangerous container, but Hamad Port denied this request, claiming that it didn't have the manpower, which is hard to believe as this port is state-of-the-art and well-resourced.
The X-Press Pearl later also requested to discharge of the leaking container at Hazira Port in Gujarat. This request was also denied due to the same reasons.
Had either one of these ports allowed the X-Press Pearl permission to unload, then this environmental disaster may never had happened.

Friction Welding Your 3D Prints
Friction Welding.jpg
A common technique to successfully 3D print complex objects is to print separate pieces and then glue them together. But are there other techniques for joining pieces together? Apparently yes.
There is a technique known as "friction welding", which uses the principle of friction-generated heat. If there is sufficient friction, the heat may be high enough to melt or soften 3D prints made of ABS and particularly of PLA as they have a lower melt temperature.
In this video friction welding is demonstrated. The approach is to insert a filament segment into a Dremel or similar tool and spin it at very high speed. The tip of the rotating filament touches the print and friction generates heat. Some of the filament's melted plastic is deposited on the print if you handle it carefully. You can also drill smooth holes in the print by simply pushing the filament through.
Is this approach useful for joining two pieces together? Maybe, but it would require a lot of very careful work to do so. Probably it's less effective for joining pieces than it is for welding holes closed and other small repairs.
But it's yet another approach to put in your 3D printing toolkit.

I am creating a form that will be used as a survey. In one section, I am asking responders to answer questions with 4 locations. I would like to take those answers and insert them into future questions about those specific locations. How can I design a form or field that can do this?
You will have to write script to do this. After th euser fills out the first field (on th eexit event) you can script the name that they entered into subsequent objects. Each part of the object is exposed to you and it is simply a matter of calling the correct object property. Start by designing the form assuming they enter a specific value in the field. Then we can help you by seeing specifically which objects you want to use and what poperties would be required.

PR Prose: PR pros can help people unite or we can help them divide
Posted May 9, 2019
By Dr. Shannon Bowen, professor in the public relations sequence
Reprinted with permission from PRWeek
As the news illustrates almost every day, the world has become more contentious and divided than in recent memory. As public relations pros we can help people converse, unite, understand, and listen — or we can help them divide.
What is our moral responsibility? How can we help our profession behave more ethically and have a positive impact on the communities and people around us?
Consider the public relations function itself. We strive for a competitive advantage for our organizations and clients, using the communication function to differentiate ourselves and stay connected to stakeholders.
That's how we contribute to our organizations and earn a seat at the table. Competitiveness is key. But what if we also embraced our roles as communication facilitators?
Although being competitive is central, we can also use our roles to help resolve conflict, generate ethical awareness and responsiveness, and to build understanding with stakeholders and even the people who may not even like us.
But what does it take to accomplish this in such a contentious environment?
A communication facilitator listens intently and acts as a liaison between two or more perspectives. Building dialogue is not easy. We must act with good will, listen to understand, not to prepare counter-points, and be willing to relinquish power for a shared understanding.
Sharing power is difficult for competitive businesses. In today's divisive environment, those seeking power seem to outnumber those who try to enhance and enable the voices of others.
One potential solution: Act as a conscientious facilitator for our organizations and clients and engage with the people who are dissatisfied with our organizations. It's a bold move, but one filled with moral autonomy, respect, and dignity.
This must be done with good intent and to help promote understanding and resolve problems, rather than to simply pacify or silence our critics.
It can also be unpleasant. You may be rebuffed, or met with derision, suspicion, and contempt. But, the role of conscientious facilitator offers huge benefits and offers insight into the perspective of others.
In a world full of divisiveness, PR pros can enhance their own worth by being the reasonable voice, the facilitator of accord, and a leader respected by all who creates a zone of understanding.
Being a conscientious facilitator requires us to be active and mindful, rather than simply convinced of the rightness of our causes. And we're required to be flexible, patient and resilient when forging a path through this difficult and divisive terrain.
For example, Bill Nielsen, a leader for years at Johnson & Johnson, once told me he regularly attended animal rights activist meetings so he could talk with them and understand their values and priorities.
He was routinely scowled upon, but he was in the room when others were not. Sometimes it just takes showing up with good intent to improve the world and lessen the divisiveness in our small part of it.
This is the essence of ethical, conscientious facilitation in public relations that leads to true collaboration and better relationships over time.
Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.

Analytic characterizations of Mazur's intersection property via convex functions
- 数学科学－已发表论文
In this paper, we present analytical characterizations of Mazur's intersection property (MIP), the CIP and the MIP* via a specific class of convex functions and their conjugates. More precisely, let X be a Banach space and X* be its dual. Then X has the MIP if and only if for every extended real-valued lower semi-continuous convex function f defined on X with bounded domain, f is the supremum of all functions g <= f of the form: g(x) = r(0) - root R-2 - parallel to x - x(0)parallel to(2), if parallel to x - x(0)parallel to <= R; = + infinity, otherwise for some x(0) is an element of X (X*) and r(0) is an element of R, R > 0. And X has the CIP if and only if for every extended real-valued lower semi-continuous convex function on X with relatively compact domain, f* is the infimum of all functions h >= f* which are of the form: h(x*) = R-0 root 1 + parallel to x*parallel to(2) + (x*, x(0)) + r(0), for all x* is an element of X*.

Sarah Jane Weaver, Sarah Jane Weaver
NEW YORK CITY — Violence against women isn't just physical, it can be structural, the executive director of LDS Charities said Wednesday during a United Nations side event featuring the humanitarian outreach of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to women worldwide.
"If women don't have access to health care because the roads are too dangerous, if they are turned away from care because they are too poor or too disabled, if there is no equipment to save their newborn, if no one believes girls need wheelchairs — they are bullied by a societal structure that is so much bigger and meaner than they have power to fight," said Sharon Eubank, the first woman to lead LDS Charities.
The LDS Church hosted the event as part of the United Nations' Commission on the Status of Women. Featured speakers included Eubank; Ambassador Charles T. Ntwaagae, Botswana's permanent representative to the United Nations; and Dr. Dennis C. and Nancy C. Hughes, LDS humanitarian medical trainers. Anna Thompson-Quaye, deputy director of the GAVI Alliance, a Geneva-based agency that provides vaccines to children, was scheduled to participate but was delayed in Washington, D.C., by inclement weather.
Eubank expressed appreciation for those on the program, "who make the work of LDS Charities possible on both a national and grass roots level."
During the past quarter-century, the LDS Church has provided assistance to nearly 30 million people in 179 countries.
But Eubank began her remarks talking about a humanitarian effort that predates LDS Charities. She spoke of the Salt Lake Valley in 1870, when inexperienced midwifery and home births contributed to a high infant mortality rate. She said "a visionary woman named Eliza Snow" went to the territory governor with a plan, requesting that six women be sent to the Eastern United States and trained in medicine. They would return and train others.
One 28-year-old woman, Ellis Shipp, left Salt Lake City for medical school. She was expecting a baby herself, found a job guarding the cadaver lab at night and studied by candlelight.
"In 1879 she came back to Salt Lake City with a medical degree," Eubank said. "Over her lifetime she delivered 5,000 babies. And she trained 500 midwives to be certified and licensed. She was the beginning of the drop of the infant mortality rate in (Utah)."
That work completed more than 150 years ago — by women who were poor and had many barriers — became the underpinnings of the work by LDS Charities today, Eubank said.
She added that she hopes the discussion would be relevant "for all of you in this room, who are working on big important things that have a lot of barriers — and violence against women is one of these things."
Showing a picture of Shipp, Eubank said: "She does not look extraordinary. She looks like an ordinary woman of 1879. But she did extraordinary things for that time that are still going on now."
Eubank said LDS Charities' great strength — which may be unique in the world — is the organization's ability to combine big vision and strategic multilateral relationships with grass roots voluntarism to tackle intractable problems.
The work of LDS Charities — given in the form of emergency response after disasters and through major initiatives that provide, among other things, clean water, medical training, food production, vision care, immunizations and wheelchairs to those in need — "can not exist without local volunteers," she said.
During the program, Dennis and Nancy Hughes and Ambassador Ntwaagae focused on the practical application and impact of two of those initiatives.
Eubank said the work of Shipp has evolved into the modern-day work by LDS Charities on neonatal resuscitation training.

How to Open a Jammed Freezer Drawer?
To open a jammed freezer drawer, start by wiggling the handle to check for any obstructions that may be causing it to stick.
If that doesn't work, unplug the freezer and wait for about an hour to allow it to thaw.
Be cautious to not damage the freezer while attempting to open the drawer.
If the door or drawer is still stuck after thawing, there may be a problem with the freezer itself and it's advisable to call a repairman.
Possible issues with the freezer door or drawer include a faulty gasket, hinges, latch, closure cams, or gears.
A faulty gasket can cause frost to build up, and it can be easily replaced by ordering a new one and installing it correctly.
It's essential to avoid overfilling the freezer to maintain proper air circulation and leave at least half of it full.
Check for old or spoiled food and dispose of it to create more space.
If unsure about the safety of the food, it's best to discard it.
Lastly, if the freezer door opens on its own, it may be due to a faulty gasket or latch, issues with hinges or closure cams, overfilling, or the freezer not being level.
Freezer drawers can be replaced, but they must be the same model and size.
- Wiggle the handle to check for obstructions causing the freezer drawer to stick
- If the handle wiggling doesn't work, unplug the freezer and let it thaw for about an hour
- Be careful not to damage the freezer while trying to open the drawer
- If the door or drawer is still stuck after thawing, call a repairman
- Possible issues with the freezer door or drawer include faulty gasket, hinges, latch, closure cams, or gears
- Faulty gaskets can be easily replaced by ordering and installing a new one correctly.
Did You Know?
1. The world's largest popsicle was made in 2005, weighing a whopping 17.5 tons! It was a strawberry-flavored delight measuring 21 feet in length, which is more than twice the size of an average freezer drawer!
2. Did you know that before the invention of freezers, people used to store food in iceboxes? These early refrigerators relied on large blocks of ice to keep food cool, and the ice would need to be replenished regularly.
3. The concept of freezing food for long-term storage dates back centuries. Some ancient civilizations, like the Chinese and the Romans, would use mountainside ice caves to store food during harsh winters. This frozen food would then be enjoyed throughout the year.
4. Have you ever wondered why ice cubes sometimes stick together in the freezer? This phenomenon is called "bridging" and occurs when the cubes melt slightly and then refreeze together. It's caused by the water molecules bonding together when they come into contact.
5. When a freezer drawer becomes jammed, one simple trick to open it is to use a hairdryer. By directing hot air onto the edges of the drawer, the heat can cause the metal or plastic to expand slightly, making it easier to slide open. However, make sure to be cautious and avoid overheating any surrounding materials!
Wiggling The Handle To Check For Obstructions
When you encounter a jammed freezer drawer or door, the first step is to try wiggling the handle gently. Sometimes, an obstruction such as a stray item or ice buildup may be blocking the door's movement. By applying slight pressure while moving the handle back and forth, you can check for any hindrances that might be causing the jam. If you feel any resistance, do not force the handle as it may lead to further damage. Instead, move on to the next troubleshooting step.
If the handle wiggles freely without any obstructions but the freezer door or drawer remains stuck, there may be a different underlying issue. In such cases, it is important to proceed with caution to avoid damaging the freezer.
Freezer Door Frozen Shut? Try Thawing It Out
One common reason behind a jammed freezer door is the formation of frost, which freezes the door shut. If the handle wiggling technique does not resolve the problem, it is likely due to ice accumulation. In this case, you can unplug the freezer and allow it to thaw for approximately an hour. This will give enough time for the ice to melt, restoring the door's functionality.
Bear in mind that opening the freezer door frequently or leaving it open for extended periods of time can lead to frost buildup. It is essential to maintain proper freezer habits to prevent such issues in the future. Regularly defrosting the freezer and keeping the door closed tightly will help avoid freezing problems.
Avoid Damaging The Freezer – Open With Care
While attempting to open a jammed freezer door or drawer, it is crucial to exercise caution and prevent any potential damage to the appliance. Forcing the door open or using excessive strength may result in broken hinges, damaged gaskets, or other mechanical problems. These situations can be expensive to repair and even render the freezer unusable.
If you are unable to open the door or drawer after trying the aforementioned methods, the best course of action is to contact a professional repair service. They possess the necessary expertise to handle such situations without causing further harm to the appliance.
- Exercise caution when opening a jammed freezer door or drawer.
- Using excessive force can lead to broken hinges, damaged gaskets, or other mechanical problems.
- Contact a professional repair service if unable to open the door or drawer after attempting these methods.
Calling A Repairman For A Stuck Door
If you have exhausted all the quick-fix options and the freezer door or drawer remains stubbornly jammed, it is time to reach out to a qualified repairman. Persistent door jams may indicate a more serious problem with the freezer itself. Attempting to fix the issue without proper knowledge and experience can lead to further damage or void any warranty that may be in place.
When contacting a repairman, be prepared to provide them with detailed information about the jammed freezer drawer or door. They will be able to diagnose the problem accurately and provide you with the necessary solutions. Remember that safety should always come first, and it is better to seek professional help than risk causing irreversible damage.
Possible Issues With Freezer Door Mechanisms
Several factors can contribute to a freezer door or drawer getting stuck. Common culprits include faulty gaskets, hinges, latches, closure cams, or gears. These components ensure smooth operation and airtight seals, which are essential for preserving the freshness and quality of your frozen goods.
A faulty gasket, for instance, can allow warm air to infiltrate the freezer, causing frost to accumulate over time. Luckily, replacing a gasket is relatively easy. By ordering a new one and installing it according to the manufacturer's instructions, you can restore the integrity of the freezer's seal and prevent future jams from occurring.
It is important to note that freezer drawers can also be replaced, but it is crucial to ensure that the new drawer matches the model and size of the existing one. Mismatched accessories may not fit properly, leading to functionality issues and potential damage to the freezer.
Easy Fix For A Faulty Gasket
A faulty gasket is a common cause of freezer door jams and compromised insulation. Replacing a faulty gasket is a simple fix that can be easily accomplished. Here are the steps to follow:
Order a new gasket that is specifically designed for your freezer model.
Unplug the freezer to avoid any electrical hazards.
Gently remove the damaged gasket by detaching it from the anchor points around the door. Take note of how the old gasket was installed for guidance during the installation of the new gasket.
Carefully align the new gasket along the door, ensuring that it fits snugly into place.
Reattach the new gasket to the anchor points using the appropriate fasteners or adhesive, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Perform a quick test by closing and opening the door. You should notice a notable improvement in the ease of use and the freezer's overall performance.
Encountering a jammed freezer door can be frustrating, but with the right troubleshooting steps, it can be resolved without causing further damage. By checking for obstructions and trying to thaw out the freezer door, if necessary, you can often alleviate the issue. However, if the door remains stuck or you suspect a more significant problem, it is best to contact a professional repairman.
Remember to maintain proper freezer habits, such as avoiding overfilling and regularly defrosting, to prevent future jams. With these tips and a little patience, you can keep your freezer accessible and functioning smoothly for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open a stuck freezer drawer?
To open a stuck freezer drawer, start by unplugging the refrigerator and allowing the freezer to defrost completely. This typically takes around 24-48 hours. Once defrosted, carefully open the freezer and ensure that any moisture is wiped dry, paying close attention to the rails that the drawer sits on. Afterward, it is important to let the freezer air dry for another 24 hours before plugging the refrigerator back in. This will help prevent any future sticking issues and ensure smooth operation of the drawer.
How do you open a jammed freezer door?
To open a jammed freezer door, try pressing your finger into the inside corner of the door seal to alleviate some of the suction created. This can help release the door and make it easier to open after closing. Additionally, if the door has just been closed and is difficult to open, it is advisable to wait for approximately one minute. This allows the pressure to equalize and makes it easier to open the door without excessive force.

Two Way Binding to Client Side Template Using ASP.NET AJAX 4.0
Introduction
In my previous article "Two Way Binding To Client Side Template in ASP.NET AJAX 4.0" we looked at how to bind data to a client side template. In this article we will look at how we can create some input controls and provide a list-detail (two way) kind of flow and selecting, updating and deleting the bound data to the database in AJAX 4.0 client templates.
To demonstrate the two operations in client side templates let us take ClientTemplateBindingDemoWebsite which we created in my previous article and extend it.
Selecting record in the Client Template and displaying the details
In the EmployeeUI.aspx of the website, go to the TR section of the "EmployeeTemplate" TBODY and set the sys:command attribute with value as "select" as shown in the below fig 1.0. You also set the pointer to the hand icon and provide an alternate record style to make it look good.
Fig 1.0
Now create a details section with a few input controls. The purpose of creating this section is to display the details of the selected record. Below is the HTML code:

Detail Info

 ID:

 <asp:Label ID="IDLabel" Text="{binding ID}" runat="server"></asp:Label>

 First Name:

 <asp:TextBox ID="FirstNameTextBox" Text="{binding FirstName, mode=twoWay}" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

 Last Name:

 <asp:TextBox ID="LastNameTextBox" Text="{binding LastName, mode=twoWay}" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

 Age:

 <asp:TextBox ID="AgeTextBox" Text="{binding Age, mode=twoWay}" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

 Salary:

 <asp:TextBox ID="SalaryTextBox" Text="{binding Salary, mode=twoWay}" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

 Date Of Join:

 <asp:TextBox ID="DateOfJoinTextBox" Text="{binding JoiningDate, mode=twoWay, convert=formatDate}" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
 (MM/dd/yyyy)

Set the ID of the details table as "EmployeeDetailsTable" which we will be using in the JavaScript file to provide the datasource for the input controls.
In the ClientBinding.js file let us go and do the changes for displaying the default selected index and the selected row style. Create a style called "selected" in the Default.css and below is the code:
.selected
{
 border-width:thin;
 border-style:solid;
 border-color:Black;
 background-color:Orange;
}
Below is the javascript code for the add_init event.
var dataContext;
var employeeTemplate;
Sys.Application.add_init(DisplayEmployees);
function DisplayEmployees() {
 dataContext = $create(Sys.Data.AdoNetDataContext,
 {
 serviceUri: "EmployeeDataService.svc"
 });
 employeeTemplate = $create(Sys.UI.DataView,
 {
 dataProvider: dataContext,
 fetchOperation: "Employees",
 fetchParameters: { $orderby: "ID" },
 autoFetch: true,
 selectedItemClass: "selected",
 initialSelectedIndex: 0
 },
 null,
 null,
 $get("EmployeeTemplate"));
 var employeeDetailsTemplate = $create(Sys.UI.DataView,
 null,
 {},
 null,
 $get("EmployeeDetailsTemplate"));
 $create(Sys.Binding,
 {
 source: employeeTemplate,
 path: "selectedData",
 target: employeeDetailsTemplate,
 targetProperty: "data"
 });
}
In the above code check the way "employeeDetailsTemplate" dataview is created from the "EmployeeDetailsTemplate" table and the binding is created by providing datasource source as employeeTemplate and target as employeeDetailsTemplate.
Fig 1.1 displays how the selected record is populated in the details section.
Fig 1.1
Also notice that when you change the data populated in the details section and tab out of the texbox notice the parent view is also updated with the changes. There are 4 binding modes available they are:
 1. Sys.BindingMode.twoWay
 2. Sys.BindingMode.oneWay
 3. Sys.BindingMode.oneWayToSource
 4. Sys.BindingMode.oneTime
 5. Sys.BindingMode.auto
TwoWay binding mode is the default one.
Two Way Binding to Client Side Template Using ASP.NET AJAX 4.0
Save Changes to database
So until now we had the input controls in the details section populated and the changes got reflected in the EmployeeListTemplate. Let's go ahead and write the code to submit the changes to the database back. In the EmployeeDetailsTemplate table add one more TR and introduce an HTML button control which will act as an action button to submit the changes.

 <input type="button" sys:command="update" value="Save To Database" />

Notice that the attribute sys:command="update". Now get to the ClientBinding.js file and implement the event handler for updating the record. In the DisplayEmployees JavaScript function hook up the command event as shown below.
var employeeDetailsTemplate = $create(Sys.UI.DataView,
 null,
 {
 command: employeeCommandEventHandler
 },
 null,
 $get("EmployeeDetailsTemplate"));
Implement the "employeeCommandEventHandler" event, which will eventually submitting the changes.
function employeeCommandEventHandler(e, args) {
 if (args.get_commandName() === 'update') {
 dataContext.saveChanges();
 }
}
Now run the application, update the values and click on the "Save To Database" as shown in Fig 2.0 button and go and check the database for the updated value as shown in Fig 2.1.
[employee3.jpg]
Fig 2.0
[updated4.jpg]
Fig 2.1
Delete record
In this section we will go through how to delete an employee record. So let us add another button along with Save button as "Delete" button.

 <input type="button" sys:command="update" value="Save To Database" />
 <input type="button" value="Delete Employee" id="deleteButton" sys:command="delete" sys:commandargument="{{$index}}" />

For deleting the record we require the index of the selected record for delete. So bind the sys:commandargument with "{{$index}}" and set the sys:command="delete".
Go to the ClientBinding.js file and add the "delete code" in the employeeCommandEventHandler. Below is the code. I have inlined my comments in the code


text: 'TomTato' tomato and potato plant unveiled in UK The TomTato has been described as a "veg plot in a pot" A plant that produces both tomatoes and potatoes, called the TomTato, has been developed for the UK market. Ipswich-based horticultural firm Thompson and Morgan said the plants were not genetically modified. Similar plants have been created in the UK, but the firm said it was thought to be the first time they had been produced on a commercial scale. Guy Barter, of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), said it was looking at the plant with "real interest". Mr Barter said many of these plants - created by a technique known as grafting - had been created before but taste had previously been a problem. "We're looking at it with real interest because Thompson and Morgan are a really reputable firm with a lot to lose, but I wouldn't rule out that it could be a very valuable plant to them," said Mr Barter, who is a contributor to BBC Gardener's World. "In the past we've never had any faith in the plants - they've not been very good - but grafting has come on leaps and bounds in recent years. What is grafting? Grafting is the process of combining two different plants to create a single one It requires lots of skill and practice, but has been successfully achieved by providing a clean cut on the two plants and taping the ends together until they heal The purpose is to combine one plant's qualities of flowering or fruiting with the roots of another that offers vigour and resilience Most plants need to be grafted within their own genus - such as potatoes and tomatoes - but it is sometimes possible to graft those of a differing makeup "Many people don't have that much space in their gardens and I imagine this sort of product would appeal to them." Thompson and Morgan director Paul Hansord claimed the tomatoes were tastier than most shop-bought tomatoes and said the plant had taken a decade of work. "It has been very difficult to achieve because the tomato stem and the potato stem have to be the same thickness for the graft to work," he said. "It is a very highly skilled operation. We have seen similar products. However, on closer inspection the potato is planted in a pot with a tomato planted in the same pot - our plant is one plant and produces no potato foliage." The firm said the plants last for one season and by the time the tomatoes are ready for picking, the potatoes can be dug up. It added both ends of the plant had been tested for alpha-solanine - a poison that can be produced in both crops depending on growing and storage conditions - and it had been certified as safe. A similar product, dubbed the "Potato Tom", was launched in garden centres in New Zealand this week.


Boost autumn colours with white balance
Using the white balance settings can really add punch to your images, find out how to use it to boost those autumnal tones
The autumn months are alive with vibrancy and colour, but are also prone to unpredictable weather and dull light. To make sure you capture a decent scene, it's important to change the white balance setting on your camera to match, rather than just using the auto option. You can tweak the levels in Photoshop afterwards to create a truly inspiring autumnal piece.
When shooting autumnal scenes, its important to make sure that all the colours in your images remain vibrant and punchy.
One way of ensuring this is to change the white balance setting on your camera, rather than keeping it on the Auto setting.
Weather conditions can be very varied in the autumn months, which can cause all sorts of problems – keeping the white balance consistent will make processing easier later on.
1. Too cool
Although these leaves were under a tree the actual weather conditions were fairly bright. However, the image, taken with the white balance set at Auto, has a rather cold look to it. It also doesnt have much depth or crispness.
2. True to life
By simply changing the white balance to Cloudy, the camera has coped with the tonal ranges far better and has also managed to create a warmer feel, making the leaves look much more like how they actually appeared.
3. Total transformation
Tweaking the levels in Photoshop makes the image really come to life. The strands of grass appear more prominent now and by slightly burning in the leaves on the outside of the image, the leaves edges appear sharper.

Using Google Spreadsheets
The Google Spreadsheets data API allows client applications to view and update Spreadsheets content in the form of Google data API feeds. Your client application can request a list of a user's spreadsheets, edit or delete content in an existing Spreadsheets worksheet, and query the content in an existing Spreadsheets worksheet.
See » _URL_ for more information about the Google Spreadsheets API.
Create a Spreadsheet
The Spreadsheets data API does not currently provide a way to programatically create or delete a spreadsheet.
Get a List of Spreadsheets
You can get a list of spreadsheets for a particular user by using the getSpreadsheetFeed method of the Spreadsheets service. The service will return a Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_SpreadsheetFeed object containing a list of spreadsheets associated with the authenticated user.
getSpreadsheetFeed();
Get a List of Worksheets
A given spreadsheet may contain multiple worksheets. For each spreadsheet, there's a worksheets metafeed listing all the worksheets in that spreadsheet.
Given the spreadsheet key from the <id> of a Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_SpreadsheetEntry object you've already retrieved, you can fetch a feed containing a list of worksheets associated with that spreadsheet.
setSpreadsheetKey($spreadsheetKey);
$feed = $spreadsheetService->getWorksheetFeed($query);
The resulting Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_WorksheetFeed object feed represents the response from the server. Among other things, this feed contains a list of Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_WorksheetEntry objects ($feed->entries), each of which represents a single worksheet.
Interacting With List-based Feeds
A given worksheet generally contains multiple rows, each containing multiple cells. You can request data from the worksheet either as a list-based feed, in which each entry represents a row, or as a cell-based feed, in which each entry represents a single cell. For information on cell-based feeds, see Interacting with cell-based feeds.
The following sections describe how to get a list-based feed, add a row to a worksheet, and send queries with various query parameters.
The list feed makes some assumptions about how the data is laid out in the spreadsheet.
In particular, the list feed treats the first row of the worksheet as a header row; Spreadsheets dynamically creates XML elements named after the contents of header-row cells. Users who want to provide Gdata feeds should not put any data other than column headers in the first row of a worksheet.
The list feed contains all rows after the first row up to the first blank row. The first blank row terminates the data set. If expected data isn't appearing in a feed, check the worksheet manually to see whether there's an unexpected blank row in the middle of the data. In particular, if the second row of the spreadsheet is blank, then the list feed will contain no data.
A row in a list feed is as many columns wide as the worksheet itself.
Get a List-based Feed
To retrieve a worksheet's list feed, use the getListFeed method of the Spreadsheets service.
setSpreadsheetKey($spreadsheetKey);
$query->setWorksheetId($worksheetId);
$listFeed = $spreadsheetService->getListFeed($query);
The resulting Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_ListFeed object $listfeed represents a response from the server. Among other things, this feed contains an array of Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_ListEntry objects ($listFeed->entries), each of which represents a single row in a worksheet.
Each Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_ListEntry contains an array, custom, which contains the data for that row. You can extract and display this array:
entries[1]->getCustom();
foreach($rowData as $customEntry) {
 echo $customEntry->getColumnName() . " = " . $customEntry->getText();
}
An alternate version of this array, customByName, allows direct access to an entry's cells by name. This is convenient when trying to access a specific header:
entries[1]->getCustomByName('my_heading');
echo $customEntry->getColumnName() . " = " . $customEntry->getText();
Reverse-sort Rows
By default, rows in the feed appear in the same order as the corresponding rows in the GUI; that is, they're in order by row number. To get rows in reverse order, set the reverse properties of the Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_ListQuery object to true:
setSpreadsheetKey($spreadsheetKey);
$query->setWorksheetId($worksheetId);
$query->setReverse('true');
$listFeed = $spreadsheetService->getListFeed($query);
Note that if you want to order (or reverse sort) by a particular column, rather than by position in the worksheet, you can set the orderby value of the Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_ListQuery object to column:<the header of that column>.
Send a Structured Query
You can set a Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_ListQuery's sq value to produce a feed with entries that meet the specified criteria. For example, suppose you have a worksheet containing personnel data, in which each row represents information about a single person. You wish to retrieve all rows in which the person's name is "John" and the person's age is over 25. To do so, you would set sq as follows:
setSpreadsheetKey($spreadsheetKey);
$query->setWorksheetId($worksheetId);
$query->setSpreadsheetQuery('name=John and age>25');
$listFeed = $spreadsheetService->getListFeed($query);
Add a Row
Rows can be added to a spreadsheet by using the insertRow method of the Spreadsheet service.
insertRow($rowData, $spreadsheetKey, $worksheetId);
The $rowData parameter contains an array of column keys to data values. The method returns a Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_SpreadsheetsEntry object which represents the inserted row.
Spreadsheets inserts the new row immediately after the last row that appears in the list-based feed, which is to say immediately before the first entirely blank row.
Edit a Row
Once a Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_ListEntry object is fetched, its rows can be updated by using the updateRow method of the Spreadsheet service.
updateRow($oldListEntry, $newRowData);
The $oldListEntry parameter contains the list entry to be updated. $newRowData contains an array of column keys to data values, to be used as the new row data. The method returns a Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_SpreadsheetsEntry object which represents the updated row.
Delete a Row
To delete a row, simply invoke deleteRow on the Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets object with the existing entry to be deleted:
deleteRow($listEntry);
Alternatively, you can call the delete method of the entry itself:
delete();
Interacting With Cell-based Feeds
In a cell-based feed, each entry represents a single cell.
Note that we don't recommend interacting with both a cell-based feed and a list-based feed for the same worksheet at the same time.
Get a Cell-based Feed
To retrieve a worksheet's cell feed, use the getCellFeed method of the Spreadsheets service.
setSpreadsheetKey($spreadsheetKey);
$query->setWorksheetId($worksheetId);
$cellFeed = $spreadsheetService->getCellFeed($query);
The resulting Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_CellFeed object $cellFeed represents a response from the server. Among other things, this feed contains an array of Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_CellEntry objects ($cellFeed>entries), each of which represents a single cell in a worksheet. You can display this information:
cell->getRow();
 $col = $cellEntry->cell->getColumn();
 $val = $cellEntry->cell->getText();
 echo "$row

Xbase - Clever solution to laser engraving fumes.
The Xbase extraction and filtration system.The Xbase extraction and filtration system with a laser engraving machine attached on top.
The need to extract hazardous fumes from engraving lasers to protect the health of the operator and to prevent damage to the laser itself is obvious. But what is the best way to do it?
Engraving lasers burn away layers of material such as glass, wood, rubber and metal in order to make an engraving. This process releases various gases, vapours and particles that can affect the quality of an engraving or damage the laser. These fumes can also cause long-term medical conditions if inhaled by the operator.
Health and safety regulations demand that operators of equipment that produce hazardous fumes are protected. One answer to this particular problem is a fume extraction system that connects to the engraving laser.
In the past, laser owners may have connected a fume extraction system that takes hazardous fumes from the laser and discharges them into the atmosphere outside. This has several drawbacks.
To install an external discharge system can require the hiring of specialist companies to drill holes through walls or ceilings, they may also need to install additional pipe systems. If the vent is to go through the roof then scaffolding may be required and a roof stack would have to be installed and secured. All this can be expensive, time consuming and disruptive to work. It may also be impossible to discharge fumes outside, for example if the building is rented or the laser is say, in the middle of a shopping centre or office block.
Any holes made in the walls or ceiling would need to be properly sealed to prevent water leaks and if the laser is moved to another room then the holes would have to be sealed up completely and re-drilled elsewhere. Discharging the fumes outside may also cause complaints from neighbours or the environmental authorities. There is also the risk that fumes may re-enter the workplace through open windows and doors.
Discharging air from the workplace to the outdoors can also increase energy costs as heated or conditioned air will be pumped outside.
The alternative to discharging fumes outdoors is to use an extraction and filtration system such as the Xbase™ from Purex International Ltd.
The Xbase connects to the engraving laser in minutes using a short length of flexible hose and extracts hazardous fumes using powerful flow controlled blowers. The fumes are then drawn through a patented, specialised filter system before clean air is returned to the workplace. Because the Xbase returns air to the workplace there is no need to cut any holes for ducting in walls or ceilings and no heated or conditioned air is lost.
The Xbase is easy to move around, so if the laser moves, the Xbase goes with it. It is quiet in operation and because no holes in walls are required it is ideal for use in shops, malls, kiosks, schools, engraving workshops and offices.
Another added bonus is that many lasers available on the market can sit on top of the Xbase meaning an additional laser stand is not required. The Xbase also has storage space inside it that can be used in a variety of ways.
The extraction rate is fully adjustable so problems like drag marks on the work can be avoided and the system can be configured to filter fumes from most engraving materials.
The Xbase is available from Purex or a worldwide network of stockists, for more information visit the website _URL_


How to set up control nodes to make widget properties available to a control app
Control nodes expose widgets in a composition to a control application or the Singular APIs so that you can dynamically update them without having to go into the composition itself.
In this guide, you'll learn how to create control nodes in the data interface and control panel and in the node link browser. The examples show a control node being made for a text widget, but you can also create control nodes for various other types of widgets.
To follow this guide, you'll need a composition. If you don't have one, first learn how to build a composition or extract a composition from a Singular template.
How to create a control node in the data interface and control panel
 1. Open a composition in Composer.
 2. Navigate to the data interface and control panel and select Text from the drop-down menu.
 3. Name the control node in Field name.
 4. In the composition tree, select a widget to connect to the control node. (You might need to click into a group or sub-composition to find the widget.)
 5. In the property panel, select the text tab and click Text just under it. The link browser will appear.
 6. In the link browser, select the name of the control node you just created.
 7. Back in the data interface and control panel, you can change the text for the control node.
 1. Open a composition in Composer.
 2. Navigate to the composition tree and select a text widget. (You might need to click into a sub-composition or group to see the widgets.)
 3. In the property panel, select the text tab and click Text just under it. The link browser will appear.
 4. In the link browser, name the control node in the text field and select Add.
 5. Navigate to the data interface and control panel and find the control node that you just created.
 6. In the text field to the right of the control node name, you can change the text.

NIC settings (including IP adress) in windows 10 registry
Remember the name of the registry key (it is the identifier of the network adapter). Remove the keys:
 - HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Adapters\{your_NIC_ID}
 - HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\{your_NIC_ID}
Restart your computer and try to assign the old static IP address to a new network adapter.
It is also recommended to reset your network. In Windows 10, you can do it in Settings -> Network and Internet -> Network Reset.

Previous Command History in PowerShell Console _URL_ _URL_ Wed, 09 Jun 2021 08:00:00 +0000 _URL_ By default Windows PowerShell (as well as the command prompt) saves the history of executed commands only in the current session. When you close the PowerShell console window or restart your computer, the history of the PowerShell commands that you typed is not saved anywhere. Compared with the bash, this is a significant drawback. Starting with PowerShell 5.0 introduced in Windows 10 (Windows Server 2016), all commands entered in the PS console are now saved to a plain text log file by default.
Command History in PowerShell 5.0 and Newer
Suppose you typed and executed some complex PowerShell command. In Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, even after restarting the computer, you can open a new PowerShell session and press the up arrow key. The last command you entered should be displayed on the screen. If you continue to press the "up" key, you will see all the commands executed earlier. Thus, using the keys "Up arrow" and "Down arrow" you can scroll through the history of PoSh commands and re-execute previously typed commands. In earlier versions of PowerShell, the history of the commands in the current session is not being saved after it is closed. Using the up/down keys, you can scroll through the command history of the current PS session only or list the entire command history using the Get-History cmdlet.
You can display more detailed information about previously executed commands in the current PowerShell session, including the command status and start/end/duration time:
Get-History | Format-List -Property *
powershell get-history
By default, the PowerShell in Windows 10 saves the last 4096 commands that are stored in a plain text file located in the profile of each user %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PSReadline\ConsoleHost_history.txt.
The history is stored separately for PowerShell and PowerShell ISE.
\ConsoleHost_history.txt - powershell commands history
If a PowerShell command takes a long time to execute, you will only see it in the command history when it completes. In cmd.exe, you can display the command history in the current session with:
doskey /history
The F7 key is used to search through cmd history.
cmd list commands - doskey /history
How to Search PowerShell Command History?
If you don't want to scroll through the entire PowerShell command history using up/down arrows, you can search the command history by using the keyboard shortcuts CTRL+R (reverse search) and CTR +S (forward search). Press the key combination and start typing part of the command that you want to find in previously executed commands. The text you entered will be found in the command history in any position (unlike search in PowerShell using F8 or Shift+F8, which allows to look for the matches from the beginning of the line only). The PowerShell console should display the previous command corresponding to the search string. Line matches are highlighted in the command.
If the found command doesn't suit you, to continue searching through the history, press CTRL+R/CTRL+S again. As a result, the following command corresponding to the search pattern will appear on the screen.
powershell command history bck-i-search
Using the F8 key, you can find the command in history that matches the text on the current command line. For example, enter get- and press F8. The last entry in the command history matching this text will be found. To go to the next command in history, press F8 again.
how to search powershell command history
You can also use the # character to search through the command history. For example, to find the last command that starts with Get-WMI, type #get-wmi and press the Tab key. The last command matching the pattern will appear in the console:
search commands in powershell history
The command history works the same in both classic Windows PowerShell and the new PowerShell Core (if you've already upgraded your PoSh version).
To get a list of previous PoSh command in the Notepad.exe window, run the command:
notepad (Get-PSReadLineOption | select -ExpandProperty HistorySavePath)
To display a list of commands in history that match a query, you can use:
Get-History | Select-String -Pattern "Get-"
powershell Get-History Select-String Pattern
Managing PowerShell Command History with the PSReadLine Module
The command history functionality in PowerShell 5.0 is not built into the Windows Management Framework itself, but is based on the third-party PSReadLine module, which significantly extends the functionality of the PowerShell console. PSReadLine highlights the syntax in the console, it is responsible for selection of the text with your mouse and copying/pasting it using CTRL+C and CTRL+V. This module in Windows 10 is located in the C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSReadline folder and is automatically imported when the PowerShell console starts.
PSReadLine is not included into the standalone PowerShell 5.0 installer for previous versions of Windows. Thus, if you want to use the PowerShell command history functionality in previous Windows versions (Windows 7/8.1 and Windows Server 2008R2/2012R2), in addition to installing Windows Management Framework 5.1, you will need to install the PSReadLine module via the PackageManagement module (formerly OneGet) from the online repository using the command:
Install-Module PSReadLine
A complete list of functions of the PSReadLine module for managing the commands history in PowerShell and the keys assigned to them can be displayed with the command:
Get-PSReadlineKeyHandler | ? {$_.function -like '*hist*'}
Key Function Description
--- -------- -----------
UpArrow PreviousHistory Replace the input with the previous item in the history
DownArrow NextHistory Replace the input with the next item in the history
Ctrl+r ReverseSearchHistory Search history backwards interactively
Ctrl+s ForwardSearchHistory Search history forward interactively
Alt+F7 ClearHistory Remove all items from the command line history (not PowerShell history)
F8 HistorySearchBackward Search for the previous item in the history that starts with the current input - like NextHistory if the input is empty
Shift+F8 HistorySearchForward Search for the next item in the history that starts with the current input - like NextHistory if the input is empty
Unbound ViSearchHistoryBackward Starts a new seach backward in the history.
Unbound BeginningOfHistory Move to the first item in the history
Unbound EndOfHistory Move to the last item (the current input) in the history
Get-PSReadlineKeyHandler
The command history can be configured using Get-PSReadlineOption and Set-PSReadlineOption cmdlets. Current PSReadline settings can be viewed using this command:
Get-PSReadlineOption | select HistoryNoDuplicates, MaximumHistoryCount, HistorySearchCursorMovesToEnd, HistorySearchCaseSensitive, HistorySavePath, HistorySaveStyle
Get-PSReadlineOption
The settings of the following PSReadline parameters can be important for us:
 - HistoryNoDuplicates – determines whether the same commands have to be saved;
 - MaximumHistoryCount – the maximum number of the stored commands (by default the last 4096 commands are saved);
 - HistorySearchCursorMovesToEnd — determines whether you have to go to the end of the command when searching;
 - HistorySearchCaseSensitive – determines whether search is case sensitive (PS command history is not case sensitive by default);
 - HistorySavePath – shows the path to the file in which the command is stored;
 - HistorySaveStyle – determines the peculiarities of saving commands:
 - SaveIncrementally — the

Abstract #1025
Organ-based estimation of the chronological age based on 3D MRI scans

Age is an essential clinical parameter. It is often utilized as a risk factor for various disorders with the potential of influencing therapeutic decisions. However, a discrepancy exists between the chronological age (CA) and the biological age (BA) of an individual due to many factors such as medical history, genetics and lifestyle. In this preliminary work, we propose a novel deep-learning architecture for organ-specific CA estimation from 3D MR volumes for the brain and knee. We hypothesize that the introduced organ-specific approach would enable future analysis of the BA as different organs are expected to exhibit different aging characteristics.

How Does An RV furnace Work?
how does an rv propane furnace work
The furnace in your RV is an important part of the comfort control system. It helps to keep you warm during winter camping trips and also circulates air throughout the vehicle. If your furnace isn't working properly, it can be a huge inconvenience.
In this blog post, we'll explain how your RV furnace works and provide tips for troubleshooting any problems you may experience.
We'll also discuss some common furnace repairs that may need to be carried out. So, whether you're a seasoned camper or just getting started, read on to learn more about RV furnaces!
How does an RV Propane Furnace Work?
RV furnaces work by circulating hot air through a series of ducts that run throughout the rig. The furnace is usually located in a cabinet near the floor, and it has a large blower fan that forces air through the ducts.
A typical RV furnace will have a heating capacity of around 35,000 BTUs, which is enough to comfortably heat most RVs.
As the air circulates through the furnace, it is heated by a gas-fired burner.
The hot air then rises and flows into the ductwork, where it is distributed throughout the RV. Some furnaces also have a built-in thermostat, which allows you to set the desired temperature and will automatically cycle the furnace on and off to maintain that temperature.
One of the benefits of an RV furnace is that it can be used even when you're not hooked up to a power source. Many RVs have a propane-powered furnace, which means it can run off the same tank that powers your stove and refrigerator.
This is a convenient feature if you like to boondock or dry camp, as it allows you to keep your RV warm even when there is no electricity available.
RV furnaces are an important part of many RVs, and they can be a real lifesaver on cold winter mornings.
If you're not sure how yours works, or if you need help troubleshooting any issues you're having, feel free to contact a qualified RV technician. They will be able to help you keep your furnace in good working order, so you can enjoy many warm winters on the road.
How To Troubleshoot RV Furnace If It Not Working?
How To Troubleshoot RV Furnace If It Not Working
If your RV furnace isn't working properly, there are a few things you can check before calling a technician.
Steps 1:- First, make sure that there is power running to the furnace. If you're plugged into an RV park's electrical system, this shouldn't be a problem. But if you're dry camping or boondocking, you may need to check your RV's batteries to make sure they're still working.
Steps 2:- Next, take a look at the thermostat and make sure it's set to the correct temperature. If it is, then you'll want to check the furnace itself to see if anything is blocking the airflow.
If there doesn't seem to be any power getting to the furnace, or if the furnace isn't igniting, then you'll need to call a technician.
Common RV Furnace/Heater Repairs
There are a few repairs that are commonly needed for RV furnaces.
1- One of the most common is replacing the igniter. The igniter is what lights the burner inside the furnace, and over time it can become worn out or damaged. If your furnace isn't igniting, it's likely because the igniter needs to be replaced.
2- Another common repair is cleaning or replacing the air filter. The furnace's air filter helps to remove dust and debris from the air, and if it gets too clogged, it can restrict airflow and cause the furnace to overheat.
If you notice that your furnace isn't working as well as it used to, or if it's making strange noises, then it's a good idea to have it checked out by a technician.
They will be able to diagnose any problems and make the necessary repairs so you can keep your RV warm all winter long.
Common Problems With RV Furnaces & How to Fix Them?
There are some common problems with RV furnaces
RV furnaces are generally very reliable, but like any other appliance, they can sometimes have problems.
Here are a few common furnace issues and what you can do to fix them:
1- The furnace won't turn on
 This is usually caused by a problem with the thermostat or the propane tank. Check the thermostat to make sure it's turned on and set to the correct temperature. If the thermostat is fine, then check the propane tank to make sure there's enough fuel.
If the tank is empty, you'll need to refill it before the furnace will work.
2. The furnace turns off too soon
This is often caused by a dirty air filter.
If the filter is clogged, it will restrict the airflow to the furnace, causing it to turn off prematurely.
3. The furnace won't stay lit
If the furnace ignites but then goes out shortly afterwards, this is usually caused by a faulty thermocouple.
The thermocouple is a safety device that senses when the flame is lit and signals the gas valve to stay open. If it's not working properly, the furnace will turn off as soon as it ignites.
4. The furnace is making strange noises
If the furnace is making loud banging or popping noises, this is usually caused by something called "kettling."
Kettling is when the water in the heat exchanger boils and makes noise. It's not harmful to the furnace, but it can be annoying.
If you're having any problems with your RV furnace, the best thing to do is call a qualified technician.
FAQs- How Do RV Furnace/Heaters Works?
How do I turn on my RV furnace?
To turn on your RV furnace, make sure that the propane tank is turned on. Then, set the thermostat to the desired temperature and wait for the furnace to come on.
How long does an RV furnace take to heat up?
It usually takes about 15 minutes for an RV furnace to heat the rig. However, this will vary depending on the size of your RV and the outside temperature.
What temperature should I set my RV furnace too?
The temperature you set your RV furnace to depends on how cold it is outside. In general, you should set the thermostat to around 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can you run the RV furnace all night?
Yes, you can run your RV furnace all night if you need to. However, it is important to keep an eye on the propane tank to make sure you don't run out of fuel.
It's also a good idea to open a window slightly to let some fresh air in, as running the furnace all night can make the RV a little stuffy.
Why Is My RV furnace running but no heat?
If your RV furnace is running but not producing any heat, the most likely culprit is a dirty air filter.
Another possibility is that the thermostat is turned off or set to the wrong temperature.
Lastly, it could be that the pilot light is out. If this is the case, you'll need to relight it following the instructions in your owner's manual.
Why Is My RV furnace blowing cold air?
There are a few possible reasons why your RV furnace might be blowing cold air.
One possibility is that the thermostat is set to the "fan" setting instead of "heat." Another possibility is that the pilot light is out.
Lastly, it could be that the furnace is low on propane. If this is the case, you'll need to refill the propane tank.
Final Words
The furnace in an RV is a propane-powered device that heats the air inside the vehicle. It works by burning propane and using the heat from that combustion to warm up the air around it.
This hot air is then circulated throughout the RV by way of the ducts, warming up everything inside.
The furnace has two main components: the burner and the blower.
The burner is what burns the propane, while the blower circulates the heated air around the RV.
There are several things you can do to keep your RV furnace running well. Make sure you have a good supply of propane, keep all vents and filters clean, and check your flame color regularly.
If your RV furnace stops working properly, there are several things you can try before taking it in for repairs. Try cleaning or replacing the filters, checking for blockages in the ducts, or troubleshooting with your manual. If all else fails, take it to a qualified technician.
I hope this guide was helpful. If you have any further questions about troubleshooting RV furnaces, feel free to contact a qualified RV technician. They will be able to help you keep your furnace in good working order, so you can enjoy many warm winters on the road.

Anime addicts' guide - What does Otaku mean?
Have you heard of the expression otaku? Do you know its true meaning? How did this term come about? In this article we will do a deep analysis on the word otaku and the people who earned this nickname both in the West and in Japan. We will also see the influence of the community otaku in Japan and the West.
The word otaku [オタク] is a Japanese term used to refer to people who are addicted to something. Over time this word began to be used frequently to refer to fans of anime, manga, novels and games. Prepare to immerse yourself in the true meaning of otaku, to help we leave a summary below:
The meaning of the word Otaku
Originally the word otaku (お宅) was a respectful treatment (sonkeigo) used in the second person, to refer to your home, house, person or family. This word has also been used to refer to husband and organizations.
 - Example: I'll call you at home tomorrow (Ashita otaku ni ukagaimasu [明日お宅に伺います]);
The ideogram of the original word is taku [宅] which literally means home. Over time this word began to be used in a negative way to refer to people who live at home watching anime, playing games, surfing the internet, etc.
otaku One of the main Japanese alternatives is the words Geek and Nerd, but more derogatory. In the dictionary, he is described as a person who has a deep interest in certain hobbies, but lacks knowledge and sociability in other fields.
Otaku can also be used as a suffix for people who like a particular hobby for example tetsudou-otaku [鉄道オタク] which means something like a train addict or mekaotaku [メカオタク] which means addicted to Meka.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
The Origin of the Word Otaku
In the 1980s Akio Nakamori and other prominent authors started using the honorific otaku to refer to criminals and serial killers, anime addicts, hentais and things like that. And since the Japanese are superstitious, they stopped using that word on a daily basis, thus becoming a bad word.
Over time this word started to be used to refer to people with obsessions for something. Not only anime and manga, but anything, cars, football, games, computers, etc.
Suppose someone likes football, they have team t-shirts, they idolize the team, they are present in every game, they put football as the first place in life. It can be called otaku.
In Japan it is possible to find thousands of people addicted to anime and games, which are considered otaku, and they take this lifestyle seriously, making cosplays, spending money on products, living a normal and fun life, doing what they like.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
Why are Otakus excluded from society?
In 1989, the murder of a young woman in the Saitama region was sensationalized, as the criminal was a video collector, every case was enlarged, distorted and publicized in the media, putting the name otaku as a dangerous person who commits crimes.
The negative campaign was done in style. Even today, people play otaku because of the media's influence in that incident. Of course, this is not the only reason that otaku are despised in both Japan and the West.
The media blames the otaku for the fall of Japan birth. Japanese TV often claims that otaku do not want real relationships, and are quite antisocial and hikikomori.
Another criticism against otakus is the huge consumption of erotic content in comics, games and animations, where you can find tentacles, lolis, etc. Yes, I have found several articles on Brazilian websites that talk about this subject. Japan is one of the countries that most consumes material of this type, and more than half are animations.
Westerners also often blame anime and games for a variety of problems in Japan and the western Otaku community. Few realize that the problem is not in animations and games but in addiction.
A person can be addicted to anything like movies, series and books. Otaku itself is used to refer to any type of person addicted to something like cars, toys, trains, computers, etc.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
Why is this thought wrong?
The problem is that not all Otaku are antisocial, they tend to be related, live a normal life, work and have other dreams. The fact that a person is addicted to something was not necessarily to be bad.
In Brazil many are addicted to something, some live in the gym, others live drinking, many choose different priorities in their life and have fun with what they like. The fact that a person likes something does not determine his behavior.
Japanese are shy and antisocial by nature, the country's culture puts a lot of pressure on society to follow strict rules. Many end up becoming not just otakus but hikikomori NEETs who are isolated young people who live trapped indoors.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
Otaku in the West
In the West, the word does not have the same connotation as Japan. Here it is usually used only to identify people who like anime. Otaku in Brazil also use the expression otome to refer to women who are anime fans, but it is worth remembering that otaku is not a masculine word, but unisex.
The amount of otakus outside of Japan is increasing a lot. The western population is neither prepared nor used to these types of people who call themselves otaku, they do not understand why they dress up and like this type of animation. Something understandable, since even today comic fans are branded as nerds, and criticized for dressing up.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
The otaku are criticized in the West for the prejudice of thinking that animations are children's or children's. They do not know the depth of a story written by Japanese and do not realize that animation is just an art style like manga.
Others think that anime are crazy, full of powers, macumba, bitching, clichés, etc. They forget that there are genres and that anime are created on top of Japanese culture, made for Japanese people who think and lead a different lifestyle from Westerners. Western Otaku also admire and enjoy Japanese culture.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
What does being an Otaku involve?
For a person to become an Otaku, just addict something and put it as a priority in your life. It is clear that in both the West and Japan the term Otaku started to be used for people who have similar tastes. Otaku 99% will probably like at least 5 things from the list below:
 - Anime - Japanese animations;
 - Sleeves - Japanese Comics;
 - Light Novels - Romance books;
 - Visual Novels - Relationship games, romance and conversations;
 - RPGs - Role-playing games;
 - Cosplay - Character fantasy;
 - Japanese music - Mainly from animes;
 - OST - anime background music;
 - Action Figures - Action figures of the characters;
 - Games - All types of games in general;
 - Japan - Otaku foreigners appreciate Japanese culture;
 - Series - Otaku also watches series;
 - Computers - Most live on computers;
 - Maid Café - Maids coffee;
 - Cosplay Coffee - Themed cafes;
 - Cats - It is rare that someone does not like cats, some even dress up;
 - Moe - Cute stuff, cute anime and characters;
 - Cute things - Cuddly toys, caps, character toys;
 - Weapons and accessories - shuriken, Katana and etc;
 - Eroge - erotic games and visual novels;
 - Hentai / Yaoi / Yuri (erotic animations);
 - Doramas - Japanese dramas / series / novels;
 - Dakimakura - Printed body pillows;
 - Itasha - Cars with prints;
 - Cards - Collect anime cards;
 - Nico Nico - YouTube of otaku;
 - Akihabara - The otaku center in Japan;
 - Waifu - Most Otakus have a waifu;
This list even shows some things that are considered questionable. The point we want to make is that, watching anime doesn't make you an otaku. There are crazy otakus, and they have problems, but it is a subject that must be understood and respected.

Knowing the otaku life
I recommend some animations and sleeves, which depict the life of a otaku or something related, I'll leave a list here:
 - Pray no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
 - Shirobako
 - Renai Shimasen ka? (Mango)
 - Genshiken
 - Seitokai no Ichizon
 - Steins; Gate
 - Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken
 - Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu
Watching the anime or manga mentioned above, you can understand a little more about the life of an otaku, and how it can be interesting. Of course there are crazy and hobby-obsessed people like in the video below. Be careful not to become one of those.

Stop DTS Package Execution Conditionally Without Failure
There is no straight way in DTS to stop the package on a certain condition without having it fail. Suppose in DTS package is suppose to be executed everyday at 8:00AM. This package is looking for a file c:\abc.txt. If the file has not arrived, it should gracefully stop without reporting any error. If the file has arrived then process the file and report success. This situation is handled by a bit of programming. Write down the following code in ActiveX Script Task.
Dim fso, file1
Dim pkg
SET pkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

IF (fso.FileExists("c:\abc.txt")) THEN
 Msgbox "File exist. Continue"
 pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_2").DisableStep=False

 Set fso= Nothing

ELSE
 Msgbox "Stop"
 pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_2").DisableStep=True
END IF
set pkg=nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
What this does is disables the second step and hence the whole sequence of task is automatically disabled. so the Task1 will report success and DTS package execution will be completed without executing task 2 and onwards. You can download the dts package example and try to run it on your computer. It looks for file c:\abc.txt. If this file exists, it will run total 3 task with result SUCCESS. If the file is not found, it will run only Task1 with result SUCCESS.

This paper discusses the role of grand urban visions in neoliberal urbanism by drawing on ethnographic and other research into the administration of New York City's ex-CEO Mayor, Michael Bloomberg. It argues that such visions illustrate the cultural dimensions and power of neoliberal urbanism, of which Bloomberg's approach to governance and development was an example. It describes the details and development of such visions in the Bloomberg administration, their role in the administration's ambitious development agenda, and the ways in which they affected the politics surrounding this agenda.

- U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) announced today the Clemson University Physics and Astronomy Department has been awarded a research project worth $50,000 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Office of Space Science.
The experiment to be conducted at Clemson will support NASA's Living with a Star Space Environment Testbeds (LWS SET) program. The goal of the LWS SET is to improve the capability to accommodate or mitigate the effects of solar variability on spacecraft design and operations.
"South Carolina's universities are among the best in the nation," Graham said. "This is an example of the high-tech research that is conducted every day in South Carolina by our colleges."
Graham noted that of the proposals NASA received from various organizations to participate in this project, only six were selected throughout the country. Clemson was one of two universities chosen for the project.
The contract will have an option for an additional $200,000 if the findings from the first $50,000 successfully complete a peer review.

Various self-consistent semiconductor device simulation approaches require the solution of Poisson equation that describes the potential distribution for a specified doping profile (or charge density). In this paper, we solve the multi-dimensional semiconductor nonlinear Poisson equation numerically with the finite volume method and the monotone iterative method on a Linux-cluster. Based on the nonlinear property of the Poisson equation, the proposed method converges monotonically for arbitrary initial guesses. Compared with the Newton's iterative method, it is easy implementing, relatively robust and fast with much less computation time, and its algorithm is inherently parallel in large-scale computing. The presented method has been successfully implemented; the developed parallel nonlinear Poisson solver tested on a variety of devices shows it has good efficiency and robustness. Benchmarks are also included to demonstrate the excellent parallel performance of the method.
