Some of my customers have contacted me regarding problems with their batteries swelling up or "puffing". This problem is not unique to any particular drone or battery, it has more to do with lithium polymer batteries in general but recently the issue came to light with the DJI Mavic 2. Probably because there are so many of them out there and the length of time they have been in service.
Puffed or swollen batteries can be a serious issue and should not be ignored.
What causes a battery to swell and why is it important?
A swollen battery is a sign that the battery is failing. Lithium polymer batteries are constructed with thin layers coated with a chemical substance that contains lithium. Lithium is a volatile chemical if exposed to oxygen. Use caution, Lithium polymer batteries that are compromised can pose a fire hazard!
Batteries swell when the electrolyte in the battery decomposes. In the case of LiPo batteries, The nature of the electrolyte tends to produce gasses such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) when they decompose. The layers of the battery are sealed in an airtight case. The production of these gases is what causes the LiPo battery to expand and swell.
Heat is the number one cause of a swollen battery, its a Lipo battery killer. Other factors like running them all the way down, flying in high winds or aggressive flying on a hot day can cause the internal temp to spike. 125 degrees seems to be the magic number not to exceed. It is possible to check the internal battery temperature in the app.
Another factor is the length of time they are sitting full. Public safety agencies understandably want their batteries to be fully charged and ready to deploy however, this will shorten the battery life.
What should I do if I discover a swollen battery?
If you discover this condition, the battery should be taken out of service immediately. Punctured batteries are a fire hazard and should be placed in a fireproof container for transport and properly disposed.
How common of a problem is this?
It seems to be isolated. Most of the agencies I work with have never experienced a problem with swollen batteries. I've been flying Mavics since they came out, sometimes hard and I've never experienced this but I understand its a problem.
What recourse do I have if my batteries are swollen?
A few of my customers that contacted DJI support received replacements. DJI's customer service is quite good and they have a reputation for standing behind their products.
Here is the link for DJI support:
What can I do to prevent my batteries from swelling?
For public safety agencies that need to be ready to deploy, I recommend you have twice as many batteries as you need to deploy. Keep half of them at storage charge (about 50%) and the other half fully charged. That way you have some ready to go and you can put the others on the charger if an incident comes up. Every week swap them.
Also, you don't want to charge them when they are hot. If possible, let them cool down before recharging. I've used an igloo cooler on hot days. I have a cold pack on the bottom and a towel as an insulating layer to keep moisture off the batteries.
I did come across this video which offers a potential solution.
DJI recommends the following maintenance procedures for your batteries:
Batteries should be stored in a waterproof and moisture-proof place. If the battery is idle for more than 10 days, please discharge the battery to 40% to 60% of the total battery level. Recharge and discharge the battery once every 3 months to maintain battery activity.
I believe these strategies can prolong the life of batteries. Contact DJI support and see if you can get replacements and then enact these new procedures. I think you'll have better luck. If you don't receive a satisfactory response, please contact me and I will take steps to get it resolved.
Remember, batteries are a consumable item. They have a limited life and won't last forever. They have a finite number of charges and can simply wear out.
If you need replacement batteries, I am an authorized dealer and usually keep them in stock. You can find batteries in my online store here: _URL_
Have you had an issue with swollen batteries? Drop me a note and tell me about your experience. This will help me understand the issue and help other folks who may be experiencing this problem.

The list of crane flies (Diptera: Ptychopteridae, Tipuloidea, Trichoceridae) known from Great Smoky Mountains National Park is updated. Sampling in association with the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory of Great Smoky Mountains National Park resulted in the addition of 107 new Park records, bringing the current list to 250 species. This species assemblage is much richer than those of surrounding areas, although similar in composition. Total richness is estimated to be between 450 and 500 species for Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

New Oticon More 2-R is the brands latest Advanced rechargeable hearing aid released onto the Australia market in January 2021. Just one step down from the top end premium More 1. They feature a highly sophisticated and powerful chip platform designed to preserve the finer details in the sound scene providing More of the natural information and cues to help improve speech understanding and minimise listening effort even in complex listening environments with competing background noise.
Oticon's latest hearings aid is called Oticon More and builds upon its predecessor the very successful Oticon Opn S. Opn introduced the Open Sound Navigator platform on their Velox chip designed to preserve the sound scape naturally to support the way our brains Orientate, Focus and Recognise sounds. They then introduced the Velox S platform that added Open Sound Optimiser ™purported to be a "pro-active" feedback cancelling system that could very quickly cancel feedback (annoying whistles and squeaks) within 90ms-1.
New Oticon More hearing aids contain their latest Polaris ™ Chip platform which give you a a clear, complete and balanced sound scene with acoustic richness and finer details. This supports the Oticon Brain Hearing™ philosophy of making it as effortless as possible for your brain to make sense of sound.
Oticon More assists the brain in processing sounds
Rechargeable Oticon More
Oticon research showed that by preserving the sound scape naturally and rapidly attenuating competing noise "between words" they can improve speech intelligibility and reduce listening effort to a greater extent than conventional approaches taken by other hearing aid manufacturers.
How Hearing Loss Effects the Brain
Oticon continues to further their research into how the brain makes sense of sound and develop their hearing aids to best to support these brain processes. They patented the term Brain Hearing ™ to describe these processes and has been the foundation of their research for more than 30 years. The philosophy is that hearing happens in the Brain. It is not a simple sense but a very complex cognitive process. We know that hearing loss is not just a loss of audibility but also comes with a loss of speech understanding and creates distortion problems especially in noisy situations. This is because hearing loss impacts the quality of the sound the brain has to work with.
Our brains are plastic and do adapt to this lower quality of information or under-stimulation, however there are ramifications and consequences. The listener has to work harder to make sense of sound. Hearing loss therefore can be described as a bio-psycho-social problem. Biological in that we know there's a change to biological function, but also Psycho-Social changes in that untreated hearing loss can lead to a change in a persons' behaviour. Such as avoidance of environments where you know you'll have difficulties hearing such as social gatherings or any competing noise environments. Such avoidance behaviours can lead to a sense of social isolation. This can lead to depression and in the long run accelerated cognitive decline.
Providing the Brain with the right types of Amplification.
 Oticon's ultimate goal is make it as easy as possible for the brain to make sense of sound. Extensive research has enabled Oticon to bring to market a unique combination of technologies that all work to reduce listening effort and provide the right conditions for the brain. In spite of modern chip sets and sound processing technologies available today, the brain can still be considered to be the most sophisticated sound processor that exists. This is because the brain has the ability to navigate in simple environments as well complex environments with many different types of sounds being present. It can choose where and when to focus and which sounds to attend. It can choose to push some sounds into the background whilst focusing on which sounds are relevant. This happens seamlessly as the sound situation changes. Important for both social activities as well as for safety.
New Scientific Discoveries:
It is believed that the brain needs access to all sounds and not just speech to work in a natural way. According to Oticon research there are two auditory cortex sub-systems with different functions that are always working together to make sense of sound. Overall hearing ability can depend on how well they work together. These two systems are the Orient sub-system and the Focus sub-system. The Orient system is constantly scanning all surrounding sounds to make a complete picture of the sound scape. Whilst the Focus system is supporting us to determine which sounds we actually focus on whilst determining which sounds we push into the background. We know these subsystems exist based on measurements from new scientific and imaging techniques techniques including Magneto-Encephalography (MEG), Deep Electrodes (EcoHG/sEEG), Electro Encephalography (EEG). Two independent studies have shown the existence of these two sub systems within the Auditory cortex of the brain.
The Orient Sub-System of Neural Sound Processing
The Orient stage of sound processing within the brain is considered crucial in creating a full sound scene representation within the brain to then identify what it wants to focus on. This decision can only be as good and as accurate as the information that is delivered to the Orient sub-system itself. In this earlier stage of sound processing the entire sound scene is being represented in the brain. The Orient system needs to receive a good neural code to create a good auditory overview and separate sounds out to determine what's going on in the surroundings. It also creates an auditory foreground and background and starts to identify what to focus on and listen to. It provides the brain with the best conditions on which to focus on and listen to.
The Focus Sub-System of Neural Sound Processing
In the focus sub-system which is a later stage of sound processing, only the sounds that the listener attends to is strongly represented in the brain. This allows us to focus on a point of interest, form auditory objects out of the different sound characteristics available. Allows us to focus our attention on the sounds we want to attend to whilst filtering out unwanted or irrelevant sounds. These systems work continuously together to maintain our focus on what is presently most important. Although we can maintain focus on a particular sound the brain intentionally distracts itself four times a second checking in on the rest of the environment sound scene. This allows us to switch attention if something more important suddenly appears in the sound scene.
The Workload on the Brain
When these systems are working well together it frees up other cognitive processes to work optimally. One can more easily recognise other sounds, store and recall information and perform executive functioning such as being able to respond to what is taking place or been said.
Irrespective of the quality of the signal the brain is receiving it will always try to match it with information stored in its long-term memory. It does this to make meaning of the sound. Clear sensory information makes for easier matches and more effortless conversation. However, when the sound is changes or distorted the sensory information is no longer clear. This can result from hearing loss and competing noise. The brain cannot as easily match the acoustic information with information stored in the long-term memory and so making sense of the sound requires a lot more effort. Selective attention allows our Auditory system to effectively filter out sounds and even enhance our perception of sounds of interest which is called Sustained Attention. Our ability to focus in on something for a longer period of time. These two sub-systems help us separate out sounds and focus in on what we are interested in. To gather meaning of what's heard also need to recognise sounds which make use of available working memory in the brain and extract meaning. Also requires working with other important cognitive capacities such as attention switching,,memory recall. Also other senses play a role at this level of processing including visual input. These higher cognitive processes also influence the Orient and Focus stages.
Hearing Loss makes it more difficult to Orient & Focus:
Hearing loss resulting from changes in the cochlear result in a loss of spectral and temporal resolution diminishing the quality of the neural code being delivered. The ability to selectively switch attention is also slowed down. The increased cognitive load to follow results in less capacity left over.
Oticon indicates that studies are showing the brain needs full access to the sound scene to prioritise what it attends to and what it filters out. Attention is more like a filter that takes in all available sensory input and prioritises what is being attending to and processed and what is filtered out. Oticon argue that conventional hearing aid technology uses a focus approach including the use of directional microphone systems, speech reduction and gain reduction methods of feedback elimination and indicates such methods restrict information being delivered to the brain and does not help form a complete sound scene therefore does not best support the way the brain naturally processes sound. Oticon indicates that inadequate treatment of a hearing problem in turn results in a brain problem. Consequences of untreated hearing loss include; 1. Increased listening effort, 2. Increased Cognitive Load, 3. Re-organised brain functionality, 4. Accelerated cognitive decline, 5. Accelerated brain volume shrinkage.
Brain problems can therefore turn into life problems. Risk of dementia is from untreated hearing loss is increased 5 fold for severe hearing loss. Associations between hearing loss and balance disorders.
Research indicates that all these conditions associated with untreated hearing loss are modifiable risk factors that are potentially reversible. A study showed that approximately 40% of dementia cases can be explained by modifiable risk factors. Livingston et al. showed in 2017 that in mid-life hearing loss represented the greatest modifiable risk factor in onset of dementia being 8%. Even at mild levels hearing loss has been documented increase the risk of developing dementia in the long term and the worse the hearing loss the

Many single-channel signal decomposition techniques rely on a low-rank factorization of a time-frequency transform. In particular, nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) of the spectrogram -- the (power) magnitude of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) -- has been considered in many audio applications. In this setting, NMF with the Itakura-Saito divergence was shown to underly a generative Gaussian composite model (GCM) of the STFT, a step forward from more empirical approaches based on ad-hoc transform and divergence specifications. Still, the GCM is not yet a generative model of the raw signal itself, but only of its STFT. The work presented in this paper fills in this ultimate gap by proposing a novel signal synthesis model with low-rank time-frequency structure. In particular, our new approach opens doors to multi-resolution representations, that were not possible in the traditional NMF setting. We describe two expectation-maximization algorithms for estimation in the new model and report audio signal processing results with music decomposition and speech enhancement.

A dillybag or dilly bag is a traditional Australian Aboriginal bag, generally woven from the fibres of plant species of the Pandanusgenus.[verification needed]. It is used for a variety of food transportation and preparation purposes.
The dilly bag, otherwise known as yakou, yibali or but but bag, is a bag worn around the neck to hold food like berries, meat, fish etc. The Dilly bag is normally woven out of vines or tough dried grasses and sometimes had feather or animal fur inside the bag to stop small pieces of food falling through holes in the weave. Mainly used by women to gather food but can be used by men to help carry some tools for hunting.
Another use for the dilly bag (also named Mukurtu) was as a holder for personal or tribal artifacts. The "Dilly bag" term is also used to describe bags used by non-aboriginal Australians, for example a smaller food bag carried by swagmen along with their swags. The term is also used by Australians to describe similar bags for other purposes.

Wrong number of arguments (Error 450)
The number of arguments to a procedure must match the number of parameters in the procedure's definition. This error has the following causes and solutions:
 - The number of arguments in the call to the procedure wasn't the same as the number of required arguments expected by the procedure.
 Check the argument list in the call against the procedure declaration or definition.
 - You specified an index for a control that isn't part of a control array.
 The index specification is interpreted as an argument but neither an index nor an argument is expected, so the error occurs. Remove the index specification, or follow the procedure for creating a control array. Set the Index property to a nonzero value in the control's property sheet or property window at design time.
 - You tried to assign a value to a read-only property, or you tried to assign a value to a property for which no Property Let procedure exists.
 Assigning a value to a property is the same as passing the value as an argument to the object's Property Let procedure. Properly define the Property Let procedure; it must have one more argument than the corresponding Property Get procedure. If the property is meant to be read-only, you can't assign a value to it.

Title: Interpretations of Christian-Muslim Violence in the Mollucas
Author(s): STEENBRINK, Karel
Journal: Studies in Interreligious Dialogue
Volume: 11 Issue: 1 Date: 2001
On 19 january 1999 violent riots started in Ambon, the capital of the Indonesian province of the Moluccas. At least until the end of October 2000 (when this contribution was closed) there were four periods of increasing violence in the Ambon area. During this period related fighting and burning happened in most other parts of the province and in other parts of Indonesia. This article gives a chronology of teh major events and an analysis of economic, political and social aspects of the turmoil. It pays especially attention to the question why Ambon for centuries could be considered as a good example of peaceful Christian-Muslim relations but has recently become a 'killing field'.


text: The two lighthouses are similar in appearance, both being square, pyramidal towers topped by enclosed, square lantern rooms that are surrounded by a simple metal gallery. A white, trapezoidal daymark with a red vertical stripe is mounted on the seaward face of both towers. The front tower is 9 metres (29.5 feet) tall, while the rear tower is 10.1 metres (33.2 feet) tall. As the front tower is located near the shore at the western end of the harbour, its focal plane of 9.3 metres (30.6) is roughly the same height as the tower. The focal plane of the rear range light is 14.8 metres (48.5 feet).

Bunkers Hill Pit, The Granites
The Bunkers Hill Pit is a mined-out pit located at the Granites Gold Mine, approximately 550 km northwest of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. Active mining is not currently occurring on site, however, ore from a nearby satellite site continues to be processed at the Granites mill and the tailings stored on site. In 2006, Newmont Tanami Pty. Ltd. identified the need for a new tailings storage facility as the existing facility was nearing capacity.
RGC, having previously conducted a hydrogeological review of the site and a groundwater field investigation in December 2005, was retained by Newmont to evaluate different options for additional tailings storage. Following the resulting recommendations, RGC designed a seepage pumpback system for the mined out Bunkers Hill Pit. In August 2006, RGC carried out a preliminary field program which included the drilling and installation of several pumping bores. The field program also included the supervision of pump tests on the newly installed pumping bores, to constrain the hydraulic parameters of the host rock and determine the efficiency of the bores. Based on these test results, recommendations were provided on pump size, accessories, pumping rates and discharge system.
Tailings discharge at the Bunkers Hill Pit was slated to begin in early 2007, during which RGC continued to assist in implementation of the recovery system and operation and groundwater monitoring on the site, to ensure compliance of the new tailings storage facility with performance criteria.
- Hydrogeological review and assessment;
- Design of a seepage interception system;
- Supervise drilling and installation of pumping bores;
- Assistance in groundwater monitoring.


Dmitri Frolov - Ten Minutes of Silence (1995)
Average: 4.9 (20 votes)
The documentary-experimental film "Ten Minutes of Silence" is a film expression of the trends embodied in the painting by Malevich's "Black Square" and John Cage's "4'33" in music. The viewer is offered an attempt to realize the reality by giving up hearing as the main channel of perception. The film is based on the history of the twentieth century, the age of world wars, catastrophes and tragedies. It is a silent scream, a silent explosion, a silent black and white abyss. "Ten minutes of silence" - a mirror of the twentieth century, a mirror of modern civilization, a mirror of our time.
Turning off the sound is as easy as drawing a "Black Square", which inevitably occurs when the film is projected onto the screen. And just as the black color absorbing all colors, self-sufficient and inexorable, became a symbol of a new era in painting, so strange and terrible silence accompanying the film, is slightly ahead of the time, foreshadowing a fundamentally new round in the development of cinematography.

Review of Metallic Mineralization in Alberta with Emphasis on Gold Potential
Abstract: This report summarizes the history of metallic mineral exploration and the inventory of gold occurrences in Alberta, based on the publicly available data. It also examines the origin and future potential of several distinct types of gold-bearing mineralization in terms of their origin and future exploration potential, and compares these occurrences in Alberta with similar deposits elsewhere.Alberta's complex bedrock geology favours several distinct types of metallic mineralization with trace to significant amounts of gold. The documented precious- and base-metal mineral occurrences and geochemical anomalies indicate significant metallogenic potential for 1) the Precambrian shield and Athabasca Basin in the northeast and 2) several metallogenic intervals related to syndepositional rifting, orogenies and recurrent magmatism and hydrothermal activity during Western Canada Sedimentary Basin deposition in the rest of the province.

Reliable operations of the Natural Gas {Slug catcher} Facility are heavily dependent on flawless operations and also the maintenance system implemented. The maintenance system is driven by the Asset Integrity Management System (AIMS), which incorporates corrosion control, equipment maintenance, pipeline operations and vessel inspection. This system is also supported by continuous monitoring and control using a Process Control System for the natural gas facility. This paper presents an integrated approach to operations of the Slug catcher facility based on AIMS and operational strategies, which are implemented to ensure efficient and effective operations. Additionally, recommendations for further improvement are documented based on a recent Asset Integrity Management Report.

Snapchat assigns different emojis depending on your interaction with specific users. These emojis appear next to the contacts name. A recent update now lets you customize these emojis to your heart's content! However, in this article, we will explain what the default friend emojis mean.
Snapstreak?
If you see a flame emoji appear next to a user's name, this means that you have started a 'Snapstreak' with the user. A similar emoji will appear next to your name in the user's contacts. To begin a Snapstreak with a user, both you and the other person must snap each other for three days consecutively.
Snapstreaks do not count messages; so it has to be snaps. The number that appears next to the flame emoji corresponds to the number of days you and your friend have consecutively sent snaps to each other.
Note: If you miss a single day, the Snapstreak will reset to zero.

Hourglass ⌛
The hourglass emoji appears if your Snapstreak is about to expire. A Snapstreak will expire if two users do not send each other a snap within 24 hours. If you see this emoji next to your friend's name, quickly send them a snap. When the snap is delivered, the hourglass emoji will disappear.
Mutual BF's?
Characterized by the emoji with sunglasses, this appears next to a user's name if both you and the user, have a best friend in common. The emoji will also appear next to your name on the user's account.
Mutual Besties?
This awkward emoji perfectly represents the situation you are in. Mutual Besties indicates that both you and the other user have the best #1 best friend. This means that both you and the user have been sending snaps to the same person.
BFs?
This smiling emoji indicates that the user is one of your best friends. Snapchat uses a simple algorithm to determine who you communicate with the most (only snaps). 'BFs' doesn't mean that the person is your #1 best friend, but they are sure someone who you communicate with a lot.
The emoji does not necessarily appear next to your name on the other user's account.
Besties?
This yellow heart emoji is a nice thing to notice next to one of your contacts names. It means that both you and the user are each other's #1 best friends. You send the most snaps to this user, and vice versa.
This emoji appears beside your name on your friend's account too.
BFF ❤
If you have continued to send each other snaps for two weeks in a row, your yellow heart emoji will be upped to a red heart. This indicates that you have been each other's #1 Best friend for two weeks.
This emoji appears beside your name on your friend's account too.
Super BFF?
This is the highest honor of Snapchat friends. 'Super BFF' appears when you have been each other #1 best friend for 2 months straight! You deserve the double hearts because that takes dedication.
This emoji will appear beside your name on your friend's account too.
Snapchat Lingo and Terms
If you're having a hard time keeping track of all the new Snapchat lingo, this guide is for you. The acronyms are not limited to use on Snapchat only, and pop up quite frequently on other platforms like Instagram, Facebook, etc.
Women Crush Wednesday: This acronym is generally used as a hashtag accompanying an image of a woman that the user admires. It could be a friend, a celebrity, a sportswoman, etc. As the name suggests, WCW is usually used on a Wednesday.
Shoutout For Shoutout: Originating on Snapchat itself, SFS is used to tell another user that you would like to be mentioned in their snap, as well as mention them back in your own snap. This is usually used for promotions so that you can increase your visibility.
Screen Shot: This common acronym is now freely used on most platforms. However, because of Snapchats distinguished feature of disappearing snaps, SS is used to request a screenshot of a picture that you cannot view.
Snap Back: A snap back is when a user replies to your snap with another snap. The interaction by snaps is called a snap back. SB can also be used to request another user to send you a snap (especially if you believe your Snapstreak is about to break).
Whatever: Used quite freely while texting, 'wtv' is an abbreviation indicating that the user does not care about the matter. For example, 'Do you want to go to the park?' 'Yeah, wtv'.
Black Lives Matter: A strong and powerful hashtag currently trending on most social outlets, BLM shows support for people of color and takes a stand against unjust offenses against the same.
If you know, you know: This abbreviation is used to stir up mystery as well as remind others who were with you. It basically means if you were there with me, you know what I'm talking about. It can also be used to check if people are on the same page as you.
Favorite, Thumbs up, Comment: While generally used on video streaming sites like YouTube, FTC has come to mean 'subscribe'. When used out of context, it can mean, 'stay tuned for more such content.'
Don't wait up: DWU is used to tell another person not to worry about you. It can also be used more literally to tell a person not to wait up for you to return, as it could be late.
I don't mind: This one is quite straight forward. It is used to indicate that the person is ok with whatever the other person is conveying.
I don't even know: This acronym is used to express confusion on the user's part. For example, 'Do you think we'll be going camping with this weather?' 'Honestly, idek!'
Better be going: If you have trouble ending a conversation, BBG can come to your rescue. You can use BBG when you want to politely let the other person know that you are ending the conversation.
Nevermind: Quite self-explanatory, this one. It can also be used to express disappointment. For example, 'I thought the Mayor was going to turn the town around….#nvm'.
Rate/Date/Hate: RDH is used to get an honest opinion of a third party. Usually accompanied by a picture of the person in question, RDH is used to understand what other people think of that person. For example, 'Sending you a pic. What do you think? RDH?'
F*ck with: This acronym has gained a lot of popularity recently. While it sounds aggressive, most of the time, it is used to indicate a close liking for something. For example, 'Deadmaus is dope. I'd FW that for sure.'
F*ck you talking bout: This is used to indicate disdain or sometimes surprise about what another person is saying. It is a shortened form of the sentence 'what the f*ck are you talking about!' If used more literally, it can also indicate that you actually do not know what the other person is talking about. For example, 'What smoke? I just got home, fytb?'
Laughing my a*s off: This old-but-gold acronym is still used today to express laughing at a humorous situation. You may have encountered the same acronym being used with repeating letters (lmaaao/lmaooo). All of these mean the same thing.
Just saying: Js is generally used to soften a harsh sentence. It is added at the end of a sentence to portray that the user is just being honest. For example, 'I don't think that color suits you, js.'
Tough sh*t: This acronym can be used to show pity or understanding of another person's problems. It can be compared to the term 'that sucks!'
I miss you: Imy can be used both, in sentences, as well as with a hashtag. It expresses that the user misses the person that they are texting. When used as a hashtag accompanying a picture, it may refer to the person in the picture.
Group Chat: GC just means group chat. It refers to a chat with more than two people in it. It can be referring to different platforms like WhatsApp, texting, etc.
Snapchat Notifications
Snapchat has its own indicators to let a user know what's going on in their account. Use this guide below to better understand what different indicators mean.
Grey arrow / pending
The grey arrow appears when you send a snap to a person, and it hasn't gone through yet. If you have a fast internet connection, you may not even see the grey arrow, as the snap will be sent immediately. However, if you have slower/bad internet, the grey arrow will remain, until the snap has successfully gone through.
It could also mean that the person you are sending the snap to has not added you as a friend yet, or has unfriended you.
Red square / full arrow / empty arrow
The red arrow appears when you have sent a snap (picture/video) without

On TASM systems, the state matrix defines which state to use when a specific combination of planned environment and health condition exists. On IWM systems, the state matrix defines which state and operating rules will be used when a planned environment is in effect.
The default health condition, planned environment, and state give you the basic framework to allocate resources for workloads. However, you can create additional health conditions, planned environments, and states to fine-tune resource allocation.
 1. Edit or create a ruleset.
 2. From the ruleset toolbar, click States.
 The state matrix appears. For a new ruleset, the default state matrix consists of one cell.
 3. [Optional] If you are on a TASM system, do the following:
 1. Define additional health conditions.
 2. Define one or more unplanned events.
 An unplanned event is a system event, user-defined event, workload event, or a combination of these events.
 3. Drag an unplanned event to the appropriate health condition so the event triggers the health condition.
 4. [Optional] Define additional planned environments.
 5. [Optional] Define additional planned events.
 A planned event is a period event, user-defined event, or a combination of these events.
 6. [Optional] Drag a planned event to the appropriate planned environment so the event triggers the environment.
 7. [Optional] Define additional states.
 8. For each cell in the state matrix, drag and drop a state from the States list into the appropriate cell of the matrix.
 When the defined combination occurs, the state is triggered.
 9. Click Save.

Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on 27 January each year and is a time for everyone to pause and remember the millions of people who have been murdered or whose lives have been changed beyond recognition during the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
Commemorated each year in Bury St Edmunds where a service in the Abbey Gardens at the existing Holocaust Memorial sees dignitaries and civic leaders join locals for a moment of quiet reflection and memorial, this years ceremony (2015) will be marked by the unveiling of a one and a half metre teardrop sculpture which will form a centrepiece to a new Peace Garden. The Memorial Garden Trust, a registered charity, has raised more than £11,000 for the project in the Abbey Gardens.
Rob Lock from the trust said:
"In addition to providing a more dignified setting for the annual holocaust service the Peace Garden is also designed to commemorate the murder of 57 Jews in our town on Palm Sunday, 19 March 1190. It is an event in our town's history that the trust felt needed to be publicly acknowledged.
"The teardrop is a natural and universal symbol of pity and persecution, of human suffering and sorrow. It is made from polished stainless steel; its mirrored surface reflects back to us the role we all must play in opposing humanity's inhumanity."
The Peace Garden, which is being installed by Urban Forestry, also includes 57 cobble stones – one for each of the victims of the 1190 massacre. There will also be two stone benches as seating for quiet reflection. The trust was formed by local residents and is supported by St Edmundsbury Borough Council, St Edmundsbury Cathedral, and members of Suffolk's Jewish Community.
St Edmundsbury Borough Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture and Heritage, Cllr Sarah Stamp said:
"The teardrop memorial is a very poignant symbol. Although this is an area that forces us to think about the worst acts carried out by mankind, the trust has also raised the funds and created a cultural space that they should feel proud of."
Back then Hatter Street was recognised as the Jewish quarter of the town and referred to as Heathenmans Street. It was claimed that Moyses Hall could have been their synagogue but this has now been disputed, largely because it would have been next to what was then the medieval pig market. It is more likely that the higher ground along Hatter Street between numbers 25-26 served as the synagogues location, a case strengthened by the evidence of a well beneath the basement, necessary for ritual bathing and washing. Other claims for Moyses Hall is that its name is a derivative of 'Moses' and that it was built by wealthy Jewish merchants of the town. However, 'Moses' and 'Moyses' are both common Suffolk names.
By the 1190's, the Jewish population in England numbered approximately some 2,500 people and until this time they enjoyed relative freedom of movement, the right to own real estate and access to education when compared to the Jewish people who lived in mainland Europe. However all was not rosy, In 1189, they were taxed at a much higher rate than the rest of England to finance the Third Crusade. Jews might have comprised less that 0.25% of the English population but they provided 8% of the total income of the royal treasury. This financial contribution did not render them beloved of the people though and the pro Christian ideology of the Crusades engendered an anti Semitic rhetoric.
In 1181, a dispute broke out between William the Sacristan (Sexton) of the Abbey in Bury St Edmunds and his associate Samson. Alongside the local townspeople, the Jews sided with William but unfortunately, it was Samson who came to power the next year as Abbot. In 1190, after the Coronation riots, Samson demanded that the Jewish people in the town should be placed under his authority rather than the Kings and when they refused, they were expelled under guard.
This was set among a nationwide background of disempowerment for Jews. In the same year, King Henry II enacted the "Assize of Arms", ordering that all weapons owned by Jews should be confiscated on the grounds that their protection came from the King and therefore they would not have any reason for owning arms. The weapons were turned over to the King's forces, leaving them with little defence and protection when riots broke out less then ten years later.
The 1189 coronation of Richard the Lionheart saw further state sanctification of their persecution when Baldwin who was the Archibishop of Canterbury, persuaded Richard to not accept gifts from Jewish dignitaries, and further, to banish them from the palace which was interpreted by the watching crowds to mean the King favoured persecution. That same day, a pogrom against the Jews in London occurred and again, the next day. Reluctant to get involved in protecting them at the start of his reign, Richard did not enact a severe punishment of the rioters which saw the civil unrest spread to Norwich, Lincoln and Bury St Edmunds alongside other towns.
The church and locals seized on every opportunity to justify their prejudices. When Saint Robert of Bury, a young choirboy from the abbey was found murdered (crucified), allegedly on Good Friday, his death was blamed on the town's Jewish community. Robert was buried in the Abbey church and in his Chronicle, Jocelyn of Brakelond, a monk in the Abbey during Samsons rule, even attributed miracles to him. Rumours based on the belief that the Jews had gained their wealth through sacrificial murders began to percolate through the town and their community became the focus of much anti semitic feelings. Regionally, the Jews of Norwich were accused of torturing a Christian child named William, using his blood for the Passover Seder, then killing and burying him and despite the entreaties of Pope Innocent IVs to ignore such ridiculousness, the image of Jews being dangerous to Christians became the dominant one.
After nine more years, anti semitic feelings had increased and it has been suggested that the catalyst to the massacre may have been a 'vanquish the infidels' type sermon, preached in the abbey church at a time when anti Jewish sentiments were even more heightened, it being Lent. The abbey was no longer a reliable place of sanctuary for them but Samson is recorded as claiming the Abbey was not the Kings property and therefore these 'Jews were not Saint Edmunds men.'
On Palm Sunday, the 19th March, a group of Christian Crusaders rampaged through Bury St Edmunds and killed 57 Jews followed by the obtaining of a writ by Abbot Samson, leader of the monastery, to have the survivors expelled. Previously the monastery had sheltered Jews when there was a threat of a pogrom but recently the monastery had gone into debt to Jews and therefore took advantage of the opportunity to escape having to repay those debts. Much building work had taken place in the Abbey and some major debts had accrued under Abbot Hugh, despite the churches moral teachings against usury. The offer of consecrated vestments and other articles as security against the debt gives clues about their extent and the pressure upon the monastery to do everything it could to expunge them.
Six months after the massacre of the Jews, Jocelin recorded in his Chronicle that Samson's expelling of the remaining Jews showed that he was a 'man of great virtue', an expulsion that was granted after he appealed to the King for permission to do so in October 1190. On July 1290, King Edward the First ordered their expulsion from the whole country, making England the first country to do so. There is some disagreement as to how many were forced to leaveeither 4000 or 16,000 which is some differenceand their return was not officially sanctioned until the 17th century, some 350 years later.
This event is relatively unknown in the town and wider annals of regional history and the translation of Jocelyns Chronicle that is stored in our Records Office itself omits the event. The opening of the Peace Garden, coming at a time when Jewish people all over the world face renewed persecution alongside other faiths and creeds, could not be more timely and significant. When the Holocaust happened, we did it to our own people-NOT a group of people living separately as 'others.' Europe placed them in a ghetto, they did not ghettoise themselves. The Holocaust destroyed a living and vibrant part of our European culturemusic, art, economics, politics, the sciences and left a gaping hole, a rent or whatever ugly image you wish to use which has yet to fill in. And when it does, the scar will still be there and we should continue to remember. There is no such thing as the 'past. '

Helichrysum water (hydrolat)
French National Ecological Agriculture biologiques Certificate
Helichrysum water (hydrolat) is obtained by distillation of helichrysum plants. It contains a small amount of helichrysum essential oil and other substances very useful for skin.
Helichrysum has long been considered to be youthful plant. Hydrolat has a subtle flavor and can be used in all types of skin. Helichrysum hydrolat is suitable for all skin types. This water has astringent properties, for this reason, it is suitable for skin with dilated capillaries, helps to reduce swellings, bruising. Helichrysum water helps to regenerate the skin, promotes the formation of new cells, soothes irritated skin.
Helichrysum water is used before applying the cream or oil; it absorbs better into the skin and the greasy feeling disappears. Hydrolat can be used as a tonic to remove the traces of make-up and to freshen the skin.

Medal of Science
President John F. Kennedy awarded the first National Medal of Science on February 18, 1963 to Theodore von Kármán for his leadership in science and engineering basic to aeronautics. Von Kármán was also cited for his effective teaching, contributions in many fields of mechanics, counsel to the Armed Services, and for his promoting international cooperation.
Since its creation by Congress in 1959 as part of Public Law 86-209, the National Medal of Science has honored individuals "deserving of special recognition by reason of their outstanding contributions to knowledge in the physical, biological, mathematical, engineering, chemistry and social sciences." Four decades later, more than 400 of America's scientists, thinkers, and discovers have been honored with this medal.

The diet of the brush-tailed rock-wallaby in New South Wales
Short, J. (1989) The diet of the brush-tailed rock-wallaby in New South Wales. Wildlife Research, 16 (1). pp. 11-18.
*Subscription may be required
The diet of the brush-tailed rock-wallaby, Petrogale penicillata, was studied at two sites on the central coast and tablelands of New South Wales over a 12-month period of below-average rainfall. Diet was assessed by microscopic analysis of faeces. Particles within the faeces were identified to broad categories of vegetation: grasses, sedges, forbs, parallel-veined shrubs, reticulate-veined shrubs, and ferns. Diets were similar at both sites despite considerable differences in annual average rainfall (1330 v.577mm) and vegetation. Grasses constituted 35-50% of the diet, forbs 25-40%, and browse 12-30%. Ferns and sedges were of minor importance or were absent from the diet. Preferences for particular plant categories (measured as abundance in diet divided by abundance in habitat) were greatest in summer. Parallel-veined shrubs and trees and forbs were most preferred at one site; grasses and shrubs and trees at the other. Ferns were preferred least.

Neurocam Scans Your Brain, Records Your Interests
The headset also includes EEG sensors that scan the brain for correlative spikes in interest. The Neurocam iPhone app assigns the EEG data a value from one to 100. When the data hits 60, interest is detected, which cues the phone's camera to start recording. Footage is recorded as five-second GIFs, which are then stored in an album so users can remember what exactly struck their interest.
While most of us can easily remember that pair of boots or motorcycle that made us linger, advertisers would love to tap that vein of consciousness. Which is why advertising titan Dentsu is backing the Neurocam via a joint venture called Dentsu ScienceJam.
"Because this system is hands-free, we think it could capture a life log, which would be different from deliberately pressing a shutter to capture things you like," ScienceJam's Kana Nakano said in this video.
"As an application in a B2B environment, Neurocam could determine what goods in stores interest people. And because the information includes position data, you can do mapping, so it could also show what places people are interested in as an aid for urban development planning. We think it could be used in lots of ways like that."
So much for being mindful of all that cellphone radiation, now that it's strapped to the side of the head.

I'm attempting to create a simple line chart with d3, however for some reason it's filling between the line and some midpoint. Here's the output:
Line Chart
My javascript is the following:
 var width = 500,
 height = 500,
 padding = 10;
 var extentVisits = d3.extent(visits, function(obj){
 return obj['visits'];
 var extentDates = d3.extent(visits, function(obj){
 return obj['datestamp'];
 var yScale = d3.scale.linear()
 .range([height - padding, padding]);
 var xScale = d3.time.scale()
 .range([0, width]);
 var line = d3.svg.line()
 .x(function(d) {
 return xScale(d['datestamp']);
 .y(function(d) {
 return yScale(d['visits']);
 .attr('width', width)
 .attr('height', height)
 .attr("transform", "translate(5,5)")
 .attr("class", "line")
 .attr('d', line);
Where visits is of the form:
 visits = [{'datestamp': timestampA, 'visits': 1000},
 {'datestamp': timestampB, 'visits': 1500}]
I'm pretty new at d3 so I'm sure it's something simple, but it's driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance.

The midpoint you're seeing is just the connection of the first and last point. This is because the path you've created has (by default) a black fill. Even though it's an open path (i.e., the first and last point are not actually connected), if filled, it will appear closed:
The fill operation fills open subpaths by performing the fill operation as if an additional "closepath" command were added to the path to connect the last point of the subpath with the first point of the subpath.
Source: SVG specification via this SO answer
The solution here is to eliminate the fill and instead set a stroke. You can do this directly in JS with d3 or through CSS.
 fill: none;
 stroke: #000;

ACCRC for running his Lincoln on aluminum soda cans.
They threw this rig together quickly to test the concept.
The concept works.
Here's how it works.
Soda cans are dumped into a tank of Lye (sodium hydroxide and water).
The sodium hydroxide peels off the aluminum oxide surface from the aluminum allowing water to come into contact with aluminum metal. The aluminum immediately oxidizes, ripping the water's oxygen atoms away to make aluminum oxide. That releases the hydrogen which bubbles out to be burned in the Lincoln's engine.
Here's the reaction: H2O + Al -> AlO2 + H2 + heat
Step 1: Lye tank and water bubbler
His left hand is on the hydrogen vent hose. The gas that bubbles out of it is hot and steamy and has a fair amount of powdery white aluminum oxide in it. So next it goes into a pipe to the bottom of the white bubbler tank, where it bubbles through water. That makes it cool and clean.
Just like in a hookah or bong.

Video of the Albino Cyclops Shark Embryo
Posted on November 5, 2011
A cyclops albino shark fetus was found inside a shark captured by a fisherman near Cerralvo Island in the Gulf of California. National Geographic reported last month that scientists confirmed the shark was genuine. Cyclops sharks have never been caught outside the womb, possibly because they do not survive long in the wild after birth.
Marine scientist Marcela Bejarano carries the dead cyclops shark on the beach in this video. Bejarano says, "It's a Cyclops shark, it's an exceptional case, because there have never been international reports, scientific reports, nothing of that sort about a shark that has these features."
Later in the video clip, Fisherman Enrique Lucero Leon can be seen putting the unusual shark embryo he found in a tank. Take a look:

The bridge over the Little Belt strait was one of the engineering miracles of the interwar years when it opened in 1935. It was designed by the Danish State Railways' (DSB) chief bridge engineer, Anker Engelund. Cast in concrete with a self-supporting steel superstructure, the 1.1 kilometre long bridge was Denmark's greatest engineering work to date. With some difficulty, Parliament had managed to ensure that the bridge had two lanes. The bridge's two railways tracks still carry Funen-Jutland rail traffic. In connection with the H-shaped motorway network, a new, six-lane suspension bridge opened in 1970. But on this bridge there was no room for railway tracks and the six lanes are often congested.
The supporting structures for the Little Belt Bridge posed challenges for the engineer. In 1932, four piers had to be cast in situ in the strait. Four large floating caissons were cast, sailed out and tipped over the side of a boat to settle on the bottom. They had first to be buried, but they sank further and faster than calculated in the unstable clay on the bottom. One of the caissons went askew into the water and drifted off from the deposition site. Afterwards the caissons were fixed in place with long steel tubes hammered into the bottom. The piers could then be cast and the steel superstructure and struts mounted on top. The bridge is still in use as a road-rail bridge.

Books on Work: Every Good Endeavor
A colleague and I were talking about the value of work—why we perceive some work as more important or "worthy" than other work, and how that spills over to the perception that some people are more valuable than others.
"We all share the same inherent value," I said. "Whether we're the CEO or the janitor, we each have the same inherent value."
"Oh, I don't believe that," my colleague said. "Some people are clearly more valuable than others."
"To be sure, we have different skills and levels of skills and talents," I said. "But we share the same inherent value. Don't confuse the talent and skill with the worth of the person."
She still disagreed. The notion was too strong an assault on what she had been taught in school and by her own experience.
The fact is, we are all indeed created equal—equal in the sense that God sees each of us as inherently worthy and valuable, and in the same way—because He created us.
And, as Tim Keller points out in Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's Work, He created us to work. Work was part of creation. It was there at the beginning. And it was one of those things that God saw as good. God created work. More to the point—He modeled work in the very act of creation.
It's a startling thought: God created work as an integral part of the human experience.
And if God sees each of us as inherently valuable, then He sees the work we do as inherently valuable. No matter if it's neurosurgery, driving a truck, preaching a sermon, working a production line, teaching high school English, nursing a baby, growing soybeans, selling women's shoes, or writing stories for the newspaper. We all have different levels of skills and talents—but that does not mean that God differentiates as to our worth as His creation.
It also means all work is important.
"This revolutionary way of looking at work," Keller says, "gives all work a common and exalted purpose: to honor God by loving your neighbors and serving them through your work."
Work is an act of service and serving, Keller says. But he goes deeper than that. The statement I found particularly startling was how Keller added to the description: Work is an act of love.
I had to come to a full stop and consider that statement.
My work is an act of love. My work—and how I do my work—is an act of love shown to colleagues, people who work for me, my boss, his boss, my customers, and all of the people I interact with every day. And it is an expression of my love for God.
Keller goes even deeper. If I understand my work as an act of love, and respond accordingly, I can change the culture; not only that, I can create the culture. By loving God in my work, I can create culture.
My work and how I do it is salt and light. It can influence and create. And it doesn't matter what my salary level is, or my job grade, or my title. It is part of my inherent worth.
My colleague continued the conversation, demanding to know why I believed what I was saying.
"We are each made in God's image," I said. "That's why we share the same inherent value. That image includes the work we do, and the value of the work we do. What the work actually is doesn't matter, unless it's something that falls outside what God would define as good and useful work."
She stared at me for a moment, and then she nodded.
"What you're saying is strange," she said.
"It's counter-cultural," I said.

Daily Reflection From Laity Lodge
Wake Up, O Lord!
Psalm 44:23-24 comes in the context of an extended lament, in which the psalmist accuses God of mistreating his people, even though they have not broken his covenant (v. 17). The lament concludes... Read More +


How to Write an Unemployment Appeal Letter
A woman is typing.
Image Credit: serezniy/iStock/Getty Images
Unemployment departments deny benefits for various reasons, including information received from your employer. If your application for unemployment benefits is denied, you can appeal against the decision. Processes vary by state, but you usually need to start by writing a letter to the department. Your state will have an appeal deadline, such as 30 days after receipt of a denial letter, so you may need to move quickly.
Step 1
Check your state's unemployment guidelines to find out what you must include in your appeal letter. Find appeal letter requirements at your state's official unemployment website or contact the department by phone.
Step 2
Type a contact list of any witnesses you have on a separate piece of paper. Include each person's name, address and phone number. Label the contact list with your name and case number at the top.
Step 3
Use a basic business letter format if your state does not provide an appeal letter format. Set your text to the left margin of the paper. Start with the date. Skip a single line and type the unemployment department's address. Skip another line for your name, address and other information the department may use to identify you quickly, such as your case number or Social Security number.
Step 4
Write a paragraph briefly describing the reason for your denial as shown on the denial letter, and focus on facts that oppose the reason and support your appeal. Describe any proof you have of your claims and state you have attached copies. Include the names of your witnesses and state that you have attached their contact information.
Step 5
Close the letter with a restatement of your intention to appeal the denial of benefits. Use a formal closing, such as "Sincerely," and leave space for your signature. Type your name and contact information underneath the signature space. Type the word "Attachments" below your contact information.
Step 6
Attach a copy of your denial letter, your witness contact list and copes of all evidence. Send the letter to the appeals address for your state's unemployment department.
Do not include originals of your proof. Use copies only.

Secondary Window Tools in Scribus
Scribus is designed so that the main window shows only the document you are designing. Other tools are positioned to secondary windows, where they have all the room they need for detailed settings. You may discover some of these secondary windows via menus and toolbars as you work, but not all. Consequently, it's worth taking the time to look at them, to ensure that you don't miss some useful tools.
The secondary Windows are available in the Windows menu, along with the usual list of open windows and the choice to cascade or tile them on the screen. They're listed more or less in order of the frequency that you are likely to use them:
The Properties window shows all the design details for the currently selected object or frame. Change the selection, and the Properties window also changes.The Properties window includes seven tabs: X, Y, Z for naming and positioning, Shape for the outline of the frame and how other text flows around it, Group for the outline of grouped objects, Text for font and spacing choices, Image for positioning and resolution, Line for how lines end and intersect, and Colors for object fill. Any tab inapplicable to the currently selected objected -- such as the Image tab for a text frame -- is grayed out and unavailable. You can also reach the Properties tab via an object's context menu, or by pressing F2.
Like the Navigator in LibreOffice, the Outline Window shows all of a document's pages and objects, and can be used to jump to them immediately. It is most useful in long documents, and when you replace the default names (like Text2) with names that meaningful to you.
The Scrapbook is a repository for items that you might want to reuse or don't yet have a place for in a document. You can have multiple scrapbooks (one for text and one for images is often useful), and drag objects on to a page as needed.
You can set the Scrapbook behavior from File -> Preferences -> Scrapbook. The options you can set are to have copied items moved automatically to the scrapbook, to retain copied items the next time you open Scribus, and the number of copied items to keep in any Scrapbook.
In complex documents, many designers prefer to work in layers, isolating elements from each other, then turning their visibility on and off to reduce clutter. Scribus' Layer window is a standard one that should be instantly familiar to anyone who has worked in another graphics or layout program. Along the bottom are tools for adding, deleting, and duplicating layers, as well as controls for moving the currently selected layer up and down the stack.
For each individual level, you can can also set whether it's visible, printable, locked to prevent changes, and -- somewhat less usual -- whether text in lower levels flows around it or whether it is shown as wireframe to speed its rendering. You can even assign each layer an associated color, if tht seems useful to you.
Arrange Pages
The Arrange Pages window has several functions. To start with, it shows what master pages are available and how pages are arranged in a two page spread, including whether the first page is a left or a right page (generally, you want the first page to be a right page, as you can tell by opening any book on hand). Second, it serves much the same purpose as the Outline window, allowing you to jump to a page by clicking it. Finally, you can apply a master page to an existing page or add a new page that uses a specific master page by dragging between the panes. You can also drag a master page or ordinary page to the trash can in the window to delete it.
Scribus assumes that one of your probable outputs will be PDF. Accordingly, you can right click on a text frame and select PDF Options -> PDF Bookmark to create a bookmark.
Even if you do not plan to output to PDF, setting text frames as a bookmark is another useful way to navigate your documents. Open the Bookmark window, and you have an alternative to the Outline window.
The Measurements window is a kind of moveable, high-powered ruler. When opened, it allow you to draw a temporary line from mouse-click to mouse-click on the document. The window shows the coordinates for the starting (X1, Y1) and ending points (X2, Y2), the length of the line along the X (DX) and Y (DY) axis, the angle of the line, and its length. When you close the window, the line disappears, but it displays the next time you open the window.
For many users, this is probably more information than is strictly necessary. However, the Measurement window can be useful when you are manually positioning objects and you need a quick measurement.
Action History
The Action History window shows each change to the document, and what page it occurred on. You can either undo an action by clicking on the previous item in the window, or else highlight an action and click the Undo button.
Preflight Verifier
Before you print, save, or export a document, run the Preflight Verifier to check for problems in the layout -- just set the output to a variety of PDF or to postscript, then read the report.
The window tells you such information as whether the document includes empty frames, low-resolution images, or text frames that are too small to display all the text assigned to them. Using the window, you can jump to the problem, correct it, then run the Preflight Verifier again to check that you have caught all the problems. It's really an invaluable tool, and worth making part of your general work flow.
Align and Distribute
The Align and Distribute window is an aid for repositioning frames and objects relative to each other. To use it, select either the Align tab to give objects a common alignment, or the Distribute tab to place objects out of alignment. Then set the criteria for repositioning: what the movements are relative to, and whether the alignment is to be done by changing position or size, and the type of alignment or distribution.
Although you may need to experiment with the settings to find the ones most useful to you --especially since the icons on each tab are practically useless without the mouseover help-- this window can be a practical alternative to aligning manually.
Picking and Choosing
Probably, few users will want all the available secondary windows. For instance, if you are accustomed to the Outline window, you probably have no interest in the Bookmarks window, and the other way around. Similarly, designers used to positioning objects with grids and guides may see little need of the Align and Distribute window.
Still, that's the point of Scribus' secondary windows -- to provide tools to accommodate a variety of different user preferences. Explore all of them, and you'll soon find out which ones suit you.

Anonymous and bobsongs are both correct I was lazy and could have google'd the answer.
But my objective was to post a concise message that the author could understand.
I am a user who clearly has nothing invested in this type of software but was intriqued enough to read through it. If I had a simple 1 sentence description at the top of the article just like the one bobsongs posted from I would have been able to understand the unclear concepts the author was trying to demonstrate with out the need to google anything.
Thanks all.

Is exactly what you did by insulting the new user...
It's probably wiser...
BobSongs's picture avoid insulting a person who asks a question, no matter how lame it is.
It's easy to point at lazy users who've grown accustomed to letting others do the thinking for them. We have a choice. Either we can rant like an angry dad, or we can point to the answer they're looking for.
I've seen too many forums where gurus post angry and impatient answers. They're disgusted that the general population is ignorant about their field of expertise. They quickly lose sight of their purpose in the forums and resort to rage.
If someone like "Ben" is willing to post such a question (and we all know he should have started with Google) who are we to use frustration in order to educate him?
R U Serious also?

I used the word ignorance (not knowing) as opposed to stupidity (inability to understand, perhaps due to low IQ) so it can hardly be considered an insult.
Imagine taking the time to click through the links to an article with a name that would clearly mean nothing to the OP, then taking more time to read it, only to say "I don't understand it" at the end of the whole exercise.
In any case, I think the OP was only pulling our leg and was just commenting on the fact the the article didn't have an introductory paragraph leading into the body of the story. I can agree with that and perhaps the editor should have picked up on it.
But really, if we want to take the OP at his word and believe he didn't understand the


Oracle Scratchpad
July 29, 2015
Existence
Filed under: Execution plans,Oracle,subqueries,Subquery Factoring,Tuning — Jonathan Lewis @ 1:05 pm GMT Jul 29,2015
A recent question on the OTN Database Forum asked:
I need to check if at least one record present in table before processing rest of the statements in my PL/SQL procedure. Is there an efficient way to achieve that considering that the table is having huge number of records like 10K.
I don't think many readers of the forum would consider 10K to be a huge number of records; nevertheless it is a question that could reasonably be asked, and should prompt a little discssion.
First question to ask, of course is: how often do you do this and how important is it to be as efficient as possible. We don't want to waste a couple of days of coding and testing to save five seconds every 24 hours. Some context is needed before charging into high-tech geek solution mode.
Next question is: what's wrong with writing code that just does the job, and if it finds that the job is complete after zero rows then you haven't wasted any effort. This seems reasonable in (say) a PL/SQL environment where we might discuss the following pair of strategies:
Option 1:
=========
-- execute a select statement to see in any rows exist
if (flag is set to show rows) then
 for r in (select all the rows) loop
 do something for each row
 end loop;
end if;
Option 2:
=========
for r in (select all the rows) loop
 do something for each row;
end loop;
If this is the type of activity you have to do then it does seem reasonable to question the sense of putting in an extra statement to see if there are any rows to process before processing them. But there is a possibly justification for doing this. The query to find just one row may produce a very efficient execution plan, while the query to find all the rows may have to do something much less efficient even when (eventually) it finds that there is no data. Think of the differences you often see between a first_rows_1 plan and an all_rows plan; think about how Oracle can use index-only access paths and table elimination – if you're only checking for existence you may be able to produce a MUCH faster plan than you can for selecting the whole of the first row.
Next question, if you think that there is a performance benefit from the two-stage approach: is the performance gain worth the cost (and risk) of adding a near-duplicate statement to the code – that's two statements that have to be maintained every time you make a change. Maybe it's worth "wasting" a few seconds on every execution to avoid getting the wrong results (or an odd extra hour of programmer time) once every few months. Bear in mind, also, that the optimizer now has to optimize two statement instead of one – you may not notice the extra CPU usage in testing but perhaps in the live environment the execution benefit will be eroded by the optimization cost.
Next question, if you still think that the two-stage process is a good idea: will it result in an inconsistent database state ?! If you select and find a row, then run and find that there are no rows to process because something modified and "hid" the row you found on the first pass – what are you going to do. Will this make the program crash ? Will it produce an erroneous result on this run, or will a silent side effect be that the next run will produce the wrong results. (See Billy Verreynne's comment on the original post). Should you set the session to serializable before you start the program, or maybe lock a critical table to make sure it can't change.
So, assuming you've decided that some form of "check for existence then do the job" is both desirable and safe, what's the most efficient strategy. Here's one of the smarter solutions that minimises risk and effort (in this case using a pl/sql environment).
select count(*)
into m_counter
from dual
where exists ({your original driving select statement})
;
if m_counter = 0 then
 null;
else
 for c1 in {your original driving select statement} loop
 -- do whatever
 end loop;
end if;
The reason I describe this solution as smarter, with minimum risk and effort, is that (a) you use EXACTLY the same SQL statement in both locations so there should be no need to worry about making the same effective changes twice to two slightly different bits of SQL and (b) the optimizer will recognise the significance of the existence test and run in first_rows_1 mode with maximum join elimination and avoidance of redundant table visits. Here's a little data set I can use to demonstrate the principle:
create table t1
as
select
 mod(rownum,200) n1, -- scattered data
 mod(rownum,200) n2,
 rpad(rownum,180) v1
from
 dual
connect bytin
 level <= 10000 -- > comment to avoid WordPress formatting problem
;
delete from t1 where n1 = 100;
commit;
create index t1_i1 on t1(n1);
begin
 dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(
 user,
 't1',
 cascade => true,
 method_opt => 'for all columns size 1'
 );
end;
/
It's just a simple table with index, but the index isn't very good for finding the data – it's repetitive data widely scattered through the table: 10,000 rows with only 200 distinct values. But check what happens when you do the dual existence test – first we run our "driving" query to show the plan that the optimizer would choose for it, then we run with the existence test to show the different strategy the optimizer takes when the driving query is embedded:
alter session set statistics_level = all;
select *
from t1
where n1 = 100
;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'allstats last cost'));
select count(*)
from dual
where exists (
 select * from t1 where n1 = 100
 )
;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'allstats last cost'));
Notice how I've enabled rowsource execution statistics and pulled the execution plans from memory with their execution statistics. Here they are:
select * from t1 where n1 = 100

Definition of Referred pain
Referred pain: Pain felt at a site other than where the cause is situated. An example is the pain from the pancreas, which is felt in the back. Pain in internal organs is often referred to sites distant from them. Mechanisms of referred pain are complex, and are related to innervations of organs by afferent pain fibers which following similar paths as the sympathetic nervous system.

legally binding
Common legal phrase indicating that an agreement has been consciously made, and certain actions are now either required or prohibited. For example, a lease for an apartment is legally binding, because upon signing the document, the lessor and the lessee are agreeing to a number of conditions. The lessor typically agrees to provide the apartment in a certain condition for a certain length of time, and the lessee typically agrees to pay an agreed upon rent and refrain from certain destructive behaviors. The other requirement for an agreement or contract to be considered legally binding is consideration - both parties must knowingly understand what they are agreeing to. If a person is forced, tricked, or coerced into entering into an agreement, it typically is not considered legally binding.

Planting a Tree Ceremony.jpg
Planting a Tree Ceremony
The unity tree planting ceremony can be used to symbolize the joining together of two individuals or the joining of two families.
You set up a separate table, on which you will place a potted tree/sapling (something perhaps with special meaning to the couple). If you choose to have the ceremony symbolize the joining together of both families' then upon the entrance of the mothers, each mother goes to the table and scoops in a small amount of dirt. Then they take their seats. During a specific reading or song, the couple will each add the rest of dirt and water the plant together. After the ceremony, the couple should plant the tree in a special location to symbolize the putting down of roots, longevity and strengths in their marriage.

High School Math Solutions – Polynomial Long Division Calculator
Polynomial long division is very similar to numerical long division where you first divide the large part of the number, multiply the answer by the divisor, subtract and continue dividing the reminder until the reminder is smaller than the divisor.
With polynomials you do the same, only now you have to divide the higher order terms (first term of the numerator divide by the first term of the denominator).
Let's start with a simple example (click here):
Here's another example this time with multiple iterations (click here):


text:
Go to the BuildPreview and then go to the Starting Ignore Actor collapsed node in the On Spawned collapsed node. Create a new "Get all actors of class" node and set the class to "VoxelTerrainActor"
or the class of your voxel actor. Then create a new then create a new array of "VoxelTerrainActor" and connect that to the get all actors of class output. Example image below.
Then find and right click the landscape actors array and find references.
Then just copy the same things the landscape actors variable is being used for and do the same for the "VoxelTerrainActor" that you created. Example image below.
Last if you go to the BuildPreview then go to the Placement function and add a pin to this Or node and connect up a new == node and set the class to "VoxelTerrainActor", it should work.
(Node you need to add the node highlighted node and set its class to Voxelterrainactor)
