Expression Transformation You can use ET to calculate values in a single row before you write to the target You can use ET, to perform any non-aggregate calculation To perform calculations involving multiple rows, such as sums of averages, use the Aggregator. Unlike ET the Aggregator Transformation allow you to group and sort data
Calculation To use the Expression Transformation to calculate values for a single row, you must include the following ports. NOTE You can enter multiple expressions in a single ET. As long as you enter only one expression for each port, you can create any number of output ports in the Expression Transformation. In this way, you can use one expression transformation rather than creating separate transformations for each calculation that requires the same set of data. Input port for each value used in the calculation Output port for the expression
Sequence Generator Transformation Create keys Replace missing values This contains two output ports that you can connect to one or more transformations. The server generates a value each time a row enters a connected transformation, even if that value is not used. There are two parameters NEXTVAL, CURRVAL The SGT can be reusable You can not edit any default ports (NEXTVAL, CURRVAL)

SGT Properties NOTE Reset is disabled for Reusable SGT Unlike other transformations, you cannot override SGT properties at session level. This protects the integrity of sequence values generated. Start value Increment By End value Current value Cycle (If selected, server cycles through sequence range. Otherwise, Stops with configured end value) Reset No of cached values
Aggregator Transformation Difference between Aggregator and Expression Transformation We can use Aggregator to perform calculations on groups. Where as the Expression transformation permits you to calculations on row-by-row basis only. The server performs aggregate calculations as it reads and stores necessary data group and row data in an aggregator cache. When Incremental aggregation occurs, the server passes new source data through the mapping and uses historical cache data to perform new calculation incrementally. Components Aggregate Expression Group by port Aggregate cache When a session is being run using aggregator transformation, the server creates Index and data caches in memory to process the transformation. If the server requires more space, it stores overflow values in cache files. NOTE The performance of aggregator transformation can be improved by using "Sorted Input option". When this is selected, the server assumes all data is sorted by group.
Else Server create a new group and saves the record data (2) o o o o o When writing to the target. The second time you run the session. then: If it finds a corresponding group – The server performs the aggregate operation incrementally. If the source changes significantly. and you want the server to continue saving the aggregate data for the future incremental changes. If the source changes only incrementally and you can capture changes. The server creates the file in local directory. and saves the incremental changes. Updates modified aggregate groups in the target Inserts new aggregate data Delete removed aggregate data Ignores unchanged aggregate data Saves modified aggregate data in Index/Data files to be used as historical data the next time you run the session. you can configure the session to process only those changes This allows the sever to update the target incrementally. the server stores aggregate data from that session ran in two files. At the end of the session. rather than forcing it to process the entire source and recalculate the same calculations each time you run the session. Each Subsequent time you run the session with incremental aggregation. the index file and data file.Incremental Aggregation Using this. using the aggregate data for that group. the server process the entire source. you apply captured changes in the source to aggregate calculation in a session. the server applies the changes to the existing target. Steps: (1) The first time you run a session with incremental aggregation enabled. use only changes in the source as source data for the session. configure the server to overwrite existing aggregate data with new aggregate data. the session checks the historical information in the index file for a corresponding group. you use only the incremental source changes in the session. The server then performs the following actions: For each input record. .
Use Incremental Aggregator Transformation Only IF: Mapping includes an aggregate function Source changes only incrementally You can capture incremental changes. . You might do this by filtering source data by timestamp.

Therefore you cannot create External Procedure transformation in designer. you can create an External Procedure Transformation and bind it to an External Procedure that you have developed. VB code written by developer. Difference Between Advanced External Procedure And External Procedure Transformation Advanced External Procedure Transformation The Input and Output functions occur separately The output function is a separate callback function provided by Informatica that can be called from Advanced External Procedure Library. which is loaded by the Informatica Server at runtime. Two types of External Procedures are available COM External Procedure (Only for WIN NT/2000) Informatica External Procedure ( available for WINNT. HPUX etc) Components of TX: (a) External Procedure This exists separately from Informatica Server. Multiple Outputs (Multiple row Input and Multiple rows output) Supports Informatica procedure only Active Transformation . we can develop complex functions with in a dynamic link library or Unix shared library. This serves in many ways o This contains metadata describing External procedure o This allows an External procedure to be references in a mappingby adding an instance of an External Procedure transformation. The code is compiled and linked to a DLL or Shared memory. Solaris. The Output callback function is used to pass all the output port values from the Advanced External Procedure library to the informatica Server. To obtain this kind of extensibility.External Procedure Transformation When Informatica's transformation does not provide the exact functionality we need. we can use Transformation Exchange (TX) dynamic invocation interface built into Power mart/Power Center. All External Procedure Transformations must be defined as reusable transformations. You can create only with in the transformation developer of designer and add instances of the transformation to mapping.

Depending on the regional genre, a suling can be tuned into different scales. Sulings can be found in the following regions:
There are two factors that affect a fine suling's tone:
The fingering position changes the wavelength of sound resonance inside the suling's body. Depending on the distance of nearest hole to the suling's head, different notes can be produced. The airflow speed also can modify the tone's frequency. A note with twice frequency can be produced mostly by blowing the air into suling's head's hole with twice speed.
In the music of Bali the suling is an essential instrument and it appears to be similar to other forms of Javanese suling. The way it is played, however, sets it apart from other forms of Indonesian suling. Namely, it is necessary for the performers to use the technique circular breathing in order to create a highly strung sense of constancy that continues even at moments of dramatic climax by the percussive gamelan instruments.
In the Sundanese region, a suling is used as
Sulings can have either 4 holes or 6 holes. The 6-holed Sundanese suling can play at least three different scales.
The Suling can be many sizes
In Brunei, the suling today is played during a cultural festival and other events together with other Bruneian traditional instruments especially the Gulintangan. While in East Malaysia, especially in Sabah with a wide variety of aerophone, the instrument is played by all the interior ethnic groups in the state of Kadazan-Dusun, Murut, Rungus and Lun Bawang/Lundayeh. In Sarawak, the suling is mostly played by men in a Dayak people longhouse.
The Maguindanaon suling is the smallest bamboo flute of the Maguindanaon and the only one classified as a ring-flute (the other two bamboo flutes of the Maguindanaon, the tumpong and the palendag are both lip-valley flutes). Air is passed through the suling via a blowing hole found at the bottom of the instrument and pitch is controlled via five finger holes on the top and one finger hole located on the bottom. Traditionally only the palendag was commonly played but because of the difficult nature of playing the palendag, both the tumpong and the suling have come to replace the palendag as the Maguindanaon's most common aerophones.

The answer is yes. This is a theorem of Bieberbach (see Corollary (8.26) of the book "Discrete Subgroups of Lie Groups" by M.S.Raghunathan (Springer Ergebnisse Tract).

Interesting (to me!) that this is an established result, since without the co-compactness assumption the conclusion fails: an irrational winding in SO(2) combined with the one-dimensional discrete subgroup of translations immediately gives a non-discrete image in SO(2). – paul garrett Mar 7 '13 at 0:47
Professor Garrett, I do not understand your remark. If I have an element of the form $(v,r)$ in the semi-direct product of ${\mathbb R}^2$ with $SO(2)$, where $r$ is an irrational rotation, there is no guarantee that itw powers (vector component) is discrete: the $n$-th power vector component is of the form $(1+r+\cdots +r^{n-1})v$, which can well converge. – Aakumadula Mar 7 '13 at 1:16
Of course, you can take $v\in {\mathbb R}^n$ $n\geq 3$ which is fixed by the rotation $r$, in which case you get a discrete group. When you assume "co-compactness", the vector parts are sufficiently many that the rotation parts do not always fix the vector part. – Aakumadula Mar 7 '13 at 1:24
_USER_: indeed, this is a funny situation. It is late for me here in my time-zone, but (in case you'd not already in your own time thought through the facts) I'll add comments tomorrow which I hope will clarify the thing that'd been in my mind. Irrelevant to the question as posed. yes. – paul garrett Mar 7 '13 at 2:00

This patent production line of rice bran pretreatment and expansion machines adopts reasonable designs. It can make high efficient expansion for rice bran. This rice bran oil expansion pretreatment is featured by high quality rice bran expansion, low human and production cost, small footprint, low power consumption etc.
Process flow of Rice Bran Oil pretreatment & Expansion introduction:
1. Rice bran was unloaded into workshop manually through artificial screw feeder and then be sent to elevator.
2. The uploaded rice bran goes through rice bran separating screen in order to remove large complexes of rice bran.
3. Clearly cleaned rice bran is sent into quenching pot through elevator conveyor. The quenched rice bran goes into feeding auger after expansion and fall into extruder.
4. After extruding, rice bran expansion materials fall on flat dryer for drying. The dry extruding rice bran is sent to extraction plant by conveyor.
Process Flow Chart of Rice Bran Oil Expansion & Pretreatment:
Working Principle of rice bran oil pretreatment and Expansion:
Rice bran oil expansion pretreatment will change the shape and structure of rice bran through press and promotion of non-isometric and nonstandard screw system of extruder. The gas among rice bran gap is squeezed out and quickly filled with materials, which causes rice bran sheared back and increased pressure inside the chamber. Rice bran hybrid is fully mixed, squeezed, heated, glued and pasted with increasing friction between screw and chamber, which changes rice bran structure and destroys rice bran fat layer structure.
At the same time, mechanical energy converts into heat, and machine chamber quickly rises to 125 degrees, which causes effective passivation of various enzyme activities of rice bran, and destruction of fat layer structure. The starch and protein turn into viscous state while rice bran is extruded to the exit, and high pressure changes into atmospheric pressure instantaneously. Moisture is evaporated from rice bran organizational structure quickly, forming into numerous pore structure inner rice bran. The rice bran oil expansion pretreatment is completed after cooling.


text: Property market dynamics depend on changes in long run equilibrium and on impediments to adjustment towards equilibrium. One of the most important aspects of property market dynamics is often attributed to the activities in the mortgage market. However, many impediment factors, such as changes in family status, education, neighborhood effects and job relocation, are often unobservable from micro household-level data. Since these omitted variables contribute to moving decisions and therefore to sale and default decisions, utility functions for sale and default are correlated through these unobservable variables; thus, the IIA assumption of the widely used Multinomial Logit Model (MNL) is violated. Under such circumstances, econometric theory suggests that the Nested Logit Model (NMNL) is a better choice, which obviates the limitation of MNL by allowing correlation in unobserved factors across alternatives. This paper empirically investigates the omitted household mobility characteristics problem in mortgage termination, and tests NMNL against MNL. Using loan level micro data, we find significant correlation between sale and default due to omitted borrower mobility characteristics. Our simulations find that NMNL out performs MNL in out-of-sample prediction.

CITARS was an experiment designed to quantitatively evaluate crop identification performance for corn and soybeans in various environments using a well-defined set of automatic data techniques. These techniques differed mainly by the procedure used to obtain signatures from training data (e.g., clustering) and by the method of classification employed (e.g., linear or quadratic decision boundaries and equal or unequal class weights).
Each technique was applied to LANDSAT-1 data acquired over six Indiana and Illinois test sites throughout the growing season in an attempt to recognize and estimate proportions of corn and soybeans using both local and non-local (i.e. extended) training statistics.
As a result of these analyses the significance of factors which contribute to classification performance was determined. In this paper the results of (1) the differences indifferent ADP procedures; (2) the linear vs. quadratic classifier; (3) the use in classification Of prior probability information derived from historic data: (4) differences in local and non-local recognition and the associated use of preprocessing: (5) the use of multitemporal data: (6) the effects Of classification bias and mixed pixels in proportion estimation: (7) the effects of site characteristics including crop, soil, and atmospheric effects: and (8) the effects of crop maturity are presented and discussed.

Anthropology, mass graves and the politics of the dead
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Michael Rivera.
In the past few decades, anthropologists, among other experts, have been called to assist in the investigation of mass graves by conducting exhumations, anthropological examinations and identifications of human skeletal remains. The reasons for this choice of specialists are several: anthropologists are trained in methods of grave location, archaeological excavation and identification by constructing the biological profile of the exhumed remains. In recent years, DNA analyses have been employed to verify the anthropological findings, bringing into the picture yet another scientific specialisation. The use of anthropologists in the investigation of mass graves started in Argentina in the mid-1980s and it has since become common in similar situations. When an international organisation such as the United Nations or even a government decide to investigate a mass grave, this can be for either legal or humanitarian purposes. In the legal context, the focus is to bring those responsible to justice, while in the humanitarian the main goal is to identify the remains and return them to their families for a proper burial according to local customs. The involvement of experts who employ scientific techniques in these investigations, is aimed at providing the objectivity and impartiality required in this context. But are the investigations always objective?

It's the colors in this abstract photograph that allow us to recognize the birds in flight as macaws. Because macaws have such bright and distinctive colors, photographer Joel Sartore was able to create a successful abstract image, one in which birds of quieter hues would have disappeared. —Annie Griffiths
Photo Tip: Distinct colors can help the viewer recognize objects in an abstract view. When presented with this advantage, the photographer has more leeway to be creative with time exposures and motion while still allowing the subject to read.

The Transportation Research Board awarded Econometrica a contract to research ways to improve the health and safety of transit workers and save costs
Bethesda, MD, October 2017
Econometrica, Inc., was recently awarded a contract by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) to develop a plan to improve the health and safety of transit workers. Under TRB, a branch of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Econometrica will research ways to improve the health and safety of transportation workers and save costs for many transit agencies.
Research shows that transit workers experience health problems due to the physical demands of their jobs and work environments. These general health problems lead to more absences, early retirement, healthcare costs, and hiring costs. These factors impact the budgets of transit agencies.
"This is the first time Econometrica will work with the TRB, and we look forward to forging a lasting relationship with them. Health is an important issue that affects all market areas, and Econometrica has extensive experience researching health policies," said Cyrus Baghelai, Econometrica's President and CEO.
By improving the health and safety of transit workers, transit agencies can save costs by keeping healthy employees in the workforce longer and reducing absenteeism and sickness. Econometrica will evaluate the effectiveness of health promotion and wellness programs by conducting cost–benefit analyses of programs at transit agencies. The analyses will measure the programs' benefits, including savings from reduced absenteeism, turnover, and workers' compensation payments, against their costs. This will help identify programs that produce positive bottom-line effects for the fiscal health of transit agencies and the health of transit workers.
While this is Econometrica's first contract with TRB, Econometrica has previously conducted research with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Founded in 1998, Econometrica is a research and management organization in Bethesda, MD, established to provide public- and private-sector clients with customized program support services. Econometrica works with multiple agencies to provide high-quality, cost-effective analyses, modeling, and economic evaluations. The company consistently receives exceptional scores from its clients and believes in three principles: technical capabilities, happy customers, and business development.

Both {ScriptUrlPath} and {ScriptUrlPaths} may be absolute or relative URIs. If they are absolute, then they will always generate absolute URLs. if they are relative, then they will be converted to absolute when required (e.g. when running from the command line, or when generating rss). If $script is not given, absolute URLs will always be generated.
If either the web or the topic is defined, will generate a full url (including web and topic). Otherwise will generate only up to the script name. An undefined web will default to the main web name.
The returned URL takes ReadOnlyAndMirrorWebs into account. If the specified $web is slave on this site, with the scripts edit, save, attach, upload, and rename, this method returns the URLs on the master site because it does not make sense to execute those scripts on the master site of the web.
Even with the other scripts, you may need to get the URLs on the master site. You can get those URLs by providing $master => 1 as a name value pair.
ObjectMethod getDiskInfo ($web,$site,$diskID) -> ($dataDir,$pubDir,$diskID)
You can specify either $web or $diskID, not both.
ObjectMethod getDiskList () -> ('',1,2,...)
ObjectMethod getDataDir ($web,$diskID) -> $dataDir
You can specify either $web or $diskID, not both.
ObjectMethod getPubDir ($web,$diskID) -> $pubDir
You can specify either $web or $diskID, not both.
ObjectMethod getPubUrl ($absolute,$web,$topic,$attachment) -> $url
Composes a pub url. If $absolute is set, returns an absolute URL. If $absolute is set, generates an absolute URL. $absolute is advisory only; TWiki can decide to generate absolute URLs (for example when run from the command-line) even when relative URLs have been requested.
$web, $topic and $attachment are optional. A partial URL path will be generated if one or all is not given.
ObjectMethod cacheIconData ($action)
Cache icon data based on action:
 - 'delete' - delete cache file
 - 'read' - read cache file
 - 'expire' - expire (invalidate) cache if needed
 - 'save' - save cache file
ObjectMethod formatIcon ($iconName,$format,$default) -> $icon
Format an icon based on name and format parameter. The format parameter handles these variables (with example):
 - $name: Name of icon ('home')
 - $type: Type of icon ('gif')
 - $filename: Icon filename ('home.gif')
 - $web: Web where icon is located ('TWiki')
 - $topic: Topic where icon is located ('TWikiDocGraphics')
 - $description: Icon description ('Home')
 - $width: Width of icon ('16')
 - $height: Height of icon ('16')
 - $img: Full img tag of icon ('')
 - $url: URL of icon ('_URL_
 - $urlpath: URL path of icon ('/pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/home.gif')
The optional default parameter specifies the icon name in case the icon is not defined. Leave empty if you assume icon files exist in the default location.
ObjectMethod normalizeWebTopicName ($theWeb,$theTopic) -> ($theWeb,$theTopic)
Normalize a Web.TopicName
See TWikiFuncDotPm for a full specification of the expansion (not duplicated here)
WARNING if there is no web specification (in the web or topic parameters) the web defaults to $TWiki::cfg{UsersWebName}. If there is no topic specification, or the topic is '0', the topic defaults to the web home topic name.
ClassMethod new ($loginName,$query,\%initialContext)
Constructs a new TWiki object. Parameters are taken from the query object.
 - $loginName is the login username (not the wikiname) of the user you want to be logged-in if none is available from a session or browser. Used mainly for side scripts and debugging.
 - $query the TWiki::Request query (may be undef, in which case an empty query is used)
 - \%initialContext - reference to a hash containing context name=value pairs to be pre-installed in the context hash
ObjectMethod renderer ()
Get a reference to the renderer object. Done lazily because not everyone needs the renderer.
ObjectMethod attach ()
Get a reference to the attach object. Done lazily because not everyone needs the attach.
ObjectMethod templates ()
Get a reference to the templates object. Done lazily because not everyone needs the templates.
ObjectMethod i18n ()
Get a reference to the i18n object. Done lazily because not everyone needs the i18ner.

 - $action - what happened, e.g. view, save, rename
 - $wbTopic - what it happened to
 - $extra - extra info, such as minor flag
 - $user - user who did the saving (user id)
Write the log for an event to the logfile
ObjectMethod writeWarning ($text)
Prints date, time, and contents $text to $TWiki::cfg{WarningFileName}, typically 'warnings.txt'. Use for warnings and errors that may require admin intervention. Use this for defensive programming warnings (e.g. assertions).
ObjectMethod writeDebug ($text)
Prints date, time, and contents of $text to $TWiki::cfg{DebugFileName}, typically 'debug.txt'. Use for debugging messages.
StaticMethod applyPatternToIncludedText ($text,$pattern) -> $text
Apply a pattern on included text to extract a subset
ObjectMethod inlineAlert ($template,$def,...) -> $string
Format an error for inline inclusion in rendered output. The message string is obtained from the template 'oops'.$template, and the DEF $def is selected. The parameters (...) are used to populate %PARAM1%..%PARAMn%
StaticMethod parseSections ($text) -> ($string,$sectionlistref)
Generic parser for sections within a topic. Sections are delimited by STARTSECTION and ENDSECTION, which may be nested, overlapped or otherwise abused. The parser builds an array of sections, which is ordered by the order of the STARTSECTION within the topic. It also removes all the SECTION tags from the text, and returns the text and the array of sections.
Each section is a TWiki::Attrs object, which contains the attributes {type, name, start, end} where start and end are character offsets in the string after all section tags have been removed. All sections are required to be uniquely named; if a section is unnamed, it will be given a generated name. Sections may overlap or nest.
See test/unit/Fn_SECTION.pm for detailed testcases that round out the spec.

Decorating golf balls is an activity that can be fun for adults and children alike. Whether you're making a gift for the golfer in your life or accenting your home décor, you can use golf balls for original artwork by adding designs with permanent marker or with paint. You can also use red, black, and white paint to enhance your garden with golf ball ladybugs.
Method 1 of 3:
Decorating Golf Balls with Permanent Marker
 1. 1
 Choose a design. There are a lot of designs to choose from. Floral patterns are an easy, fun, and cute pattern to draw if you're new to decorating golf balls. You could also recreate the solar system or make minions and popular characters. You have endless options, so come up with a plan for how you will want your golf balls to look.
 - Some creative ideas include fruit, bugs and animals, holiday themes, and other types of sports balls like soccer and basket balls.[1]
 2. 2
 Gather golf balls and markers. Use quality permanent markers that won't easily rub or wash off and won't fade over time. Choose an array of colors. For color that stands out brightest on turf, look for reds and yellows.[2]
 - Gather a lot of golf balls. As you work, you may want to discard some that you don't like, or you may come up with new designs that you want to try along the way. Try as many different designs and illustrations as you like.
 - Place all materials in a cardboard box or other flat surface where the balls will not roll away.
 3. 3
 Wash the golf balls thoroughly with dish soap. Place them in a sink and scrub them with hot, soapy water to remove dirt or other elements from the surface. Dry them off with a dish towel before drawing on them with permanent marker.[3]
 4. 4
 Draw lines around the golf ball. Set the golf ball on a flat surface and hold the marker steady with the tip touching the ball. Slowly roll the golf ball for a straight line going all the way around the ball. Then move the marker to the next point on the ball where you want to draw another line.[4]
 - Lines can be decorative by themselves or they can be used as stems for flowers in a floral pattern.
 - Use different colors for a specific theme. For example, use red and green for a Christmas themed design or black and yellow to make the golf ball look like a bumblebee.
 5. 5
 Make a floral pattern on the ball. Color in the ridges on the ball with the tip of the marker. You can make a flower pattern by coloring in one ridge with one color, and each of the surrounding ridges with a brighter color.
 - This process also works well for paw prints if you use neutral colors like black and brown.
 6. 6
 Color in the ridges. Color every other ridge for a checkered pattern or color in ridges sparingly for a polka-dot pattern. You can use different colors or all one color depending on how you want your pattern to look. The technique is simple but the finished design will be fun to see. [5]
 - You can create a great piece of home décor by coloring golf balls with simple designs and placing them in a vase or frame.[6]
Method 2 of 3:
Painting Golf Balls
 1. 1
 Choose how you want your golf balls to look. You can use acrylic paint and paint brushes, or spray paint for a more solid look of one color. Depending on the design, you may need to gather a lot of golf balls. It's better to have too many golf balls than not enough as you might want to change your design along the way. Use as many golf balls as you need.
 - Knowing what type of design you want before you start can help you decide if you want spray paint or acrylic paint and what size brushes to use.
 2. 2
 Set up your workspace. Painting golf balls is best when done outdoors due to the mess and fumes. Place empty egg cartons upside down outside on a flat surface. Then place the golf balls on the egg carton to hold them firmly in place while you're working.[7]
 3. 3
 Sandpaper the golf balls. This will remove the gloss on the outer surface of the ball so that the paint will stick better. This will also help remove any dirt and grime.[8]
 4. 4
 Add primer to the golf balls. Keep them on the egg cartons and spray over the golf balls with paint primer spray. This will also ensure that the paint will stick and have a longer lasting hold. Hold away from your face as you spray, and then wait for the balls to dry.[9]
 5. 5
 Paint a solid color with spray paint. You can make a ball one solid color by placing it on the empty egg carton and spraying it with spray paint. Once it is dry, turn it over and spray the other side. If you don't have spray paint, you can also use a large brush to coat the balls with acrylic paint.
 - Once you have a solid-colored golf ball that isn't white, you can continue to create designs with a more colorful background.
 6. 6
 Use stickers and paint to make a clean-cut design. Stickers of stars, letters, flowers, and other shapes will work well for designs, initials or names when you place the sticker on the ball and paint over it with either a brush or spray paint. Allow the paint to dry before you remove stickers.[10]
 7. 7
 Use a fine brush to draw smaller designs. Use the tip of a small brush to paint intricate designs or make a floral pattern by filling in the ridges with different colors. Do this by painting one ridge a dark neutral color and each surrounding ridge a bright color.
Method 3 of 3:
Making Golf Ball Ladybugs
 1. 1
 Set up a workspace where you can paint. Outdoors is usually the best place to work due to the mess and fumes. If you will be working indoors, lay down newspaper and open a window. Lay empty egg cartons on top of the newspaper or flat surface area where you will be painting.
 - The empty egg cartons will be used to hold the golf balls while you work so that they remain steady and you can keep one hand free.[11]
 2. 2
 Sandpaper the surface of each golf ball. This will remove the gloss from the ball and any residual dirt. Golf balls have a layer of gloss on the surface that can keep paint from sticking, so it's important to make sure all the gloss is removed. After sandpapering each ball, brush off any extra sand or dust.
 3. 3
 Spray a paint primer on the balls. This is easiest to do while the balls are sitting on the upside-down egg carton. This will help to give the paint a better hold and will also help the colors look more vibrant. Allow the primer to fully dry before moving on.[12]
 4. 4
 Coat the ball with red paint. Keep the balls on the egg carton while you paint. You can use a large brush, or for an easy and solid coating you can use spray paint. Allow the red paint to fully dry before adding any black. This will prevent the black paint from running into the red paint and making a mess on the ball.[13]
 5. 5
 Paint a large black circle for the head and fill it in with black paint. Continue to draw a line from the top of the head in a semi-circle around the ball. This is the line between the two wings. Continue to use the black paint to fill in ridges on the ball for spots.[14]
 - You don't have to make a lot of black spots. Just a few will look great.
 6. 6
 Paint two small white rings inside the head of the ladybug. These will be the eyes, so put them towards the top half of the head close to the wings. At this point the design is complete, so wait for the ball to dry.[15]
 7. 7
 Add varnish to protect your new ladybug golf balls from rain and weathering. Apply the varnish with a clean brush and allow it to sit. Once the varnish is dry you can start putting them around your garden or in your flower beds.[16]
 - Try to keep them in shaded areas to avoid the color from fading quickly in the sunlight.

text: There is evidence that isoflavones, such as genistein, can directly or indirectly improve lipid profile and lower blood pressure and hence exert cardiovascular protection. It is further believed, that genistein attenuates vascular contraction and thus vascular tone and blood pressure through altering the phosphorylation of the regulatory myosin light chain (MLC) probably via the myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) or the RhoA pathway. However, the direct role of genistein in the myocardium is poorly reviewed. In this study, we investigated the impact of genistein on the cardiac proteome in ovariectomized female mice using a 2DE-MS approach. Dietary genistein intake considerably changed the abundance of several cytoskeletal and contractile proteins and enhanced the phosphorylation of MLC. The MLC phosphorylation was mediated through increased abundance of MLCK and inhibition of myosin light chain phosphatase latest known to be inversely regulated by RhoA. Contrary to others, in our model genistein did neither inhibit the cardiac MLCK, nor the cardiac RhoA pathway in vivo.


Fuzz in Taiwan about French Fries with green patches at McDonald's
Don't eat lots of green or bitter tasting potatoes or potato products and you'll be perfectly fine! (Courtesy: NDSU)
Taiwan's health authorities will conduct stringent checks of potato suppliers after reports that French fries served at fast food restaurants were found with green patches.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) official Cheng Wei-chih (鄭維智) said that potatoes can turn green due to exposure to enough light. However, consuming a large amount of green potato can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea as it often contains a toxic chemical called solanine. No regulations regarding the maximum level of solanine are imposed yet, Cheng added.
To ease public concerns about food safety, fast food restaurants in Taipei and Tainan were checked for their potato wedges and no safety concerns were found, Cheng said. Moreover, Cheng urged that green potatoes shall not be sold from the upstream suppliers.
According to Cheng, food vendors which were found to either sell or use potatoes containing solanine can be fined around NT$30,000 (US$993.5) to NT$3 million based on the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation.
The scoop of green-tinted potatoes was first posted online by a user of PTT, the largest terminal-based bulletin board system (BBS) in Taiwan. He wrote that his tongue felt weird when he was eating potato wedges at McDonald's and he found there was a green tint in the food.
McDonald's later responded that the company has adopted strict control measures requiring suppliers and workers to remove green potatoes. However, both McDonald's and KFC argued that the green color found in potatoes exposed to enough sunlight is chlorophyll and not poisonous.
Earlier, another case was reported as a consumer in Tainan complained he was served with potato wedges that had turned green at the Japanese fast-food chain Mos Burger.
PotatoPro's Take
This is what the North Dakota State University says on the safety of green potatoes:
Are green potatoes safe to eat?
Although chlorophyll is a natural plant pigment that is tasteless and harmless, the green of potato tubers should signal us to be aware of another substance that is forming inside tubers. This substance is known as solanine, and it forms when any part of a potato plant is exposed to light.
Solanine is a toxic substance that is produced naturally in potatoes and other plants to aid in resistance of insects and animals. Solanine is present in all parts of the potato plant, including the sprouts, roots, leaves, flowers and fruits.
Solanine has a bitter taste and can cause stomach symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea if you eat enough of it. If ingested in large amounts, it can cause illness or even death in extreme cases. Because of the bitter taste, most people do not eat enough to get sick. In addition, consumers always should avoid consuming sprouts.
Small tuber sprouts contain the highest levels of solanine to protect new growth and provide solanine to the growing plant. If tubers have sprouts, remove the sprouts prior to cooking and consumption.
McDonald's and KFC Statement
The statement by McDonald's and KFC that the green color found in potatoes exposed to enough sunlight is chlorophyll and not poisonous is rather disappointing.
Although the statement is true, it is misleading: the green colour is a clear indicator the potato has been exposed to light, an important indicator for the potential presence of increased levels of solanine.
Fastfood chains should make sure their french fries do not contain excessive amounts of green potato. Furthermore, would staff in the restaurant not be able to see the green colour if it is extreme?
The Bottom line:
 - Avoid eating eating lots of green potatoes
 - Do not eat potatoes or potato products that taste bitter or cause a burning sensation in your mouth
and you'll be perfectly fine!


Occupy Wall StreetJulia La Roche for Business Insider
The Social Security Department just released its calculations for the national average wage index (AWI).
This is all compensation (wages, tips etc.) subject to federal income tax, and is gathered from reports by employers and W2 forms.
Here's how they do it:
First they find something called "net compensation," which they define as contributions to deferred compensation plans, but excluding certain distributions from plans where the distributions are included in the reported compensation subject to income taxes.
In 2010 it was $6,009,831,055,912.11.
Then they divide that number by the number of wage earners in the U.S. That's 150,398,796 people. The number you get, is $39,959.30.
According to their data table (which you can see here), 66.2% of wage earners make netted less than or equal to $39.959.30. A raw average.
They calculated the median of that raw average to be $26,363.55— and that's the net compensation of 50% of Americans.
Now, we decided to take that a step farther and put that $26,363.55 into a calculator that the Wall Street Journal made called "What Percent Are You?"
It said that making $26,363.55 puts you in the bottom 33%.

Generous donation of Scottish timber means Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory, will fight on
Timber donated from three Scottish estates will help to preserve HMS Victory for future generations
Timber has long been a vital backbone for shipbuilding and famously HMS Victory was built from over 5,500 oak trees, 250 years ago. It even inspired the Royal Navy's anthem Hearts of Oak. That strong tradition will now continue with a generous donation of timber from three estates in Aberdeenshire that will ensure that the ship survives for the foreseeable future.
The timber, from eleven elm trees and ten oak trees, is due to be felled shortly and embark on its long journey south. In the 250th year of her launch in 1767, HMS Victory is in the midst of a 15 year conservation project and in need of the very best quality materials to ensure she survives a further 250 years.
Three estates are kindly donating the timber; the Dunecht Estate, the Haddo Estate and the MacRobert Trust Estate.
The owner of the Dunecht Estate, the Hon. Charles Pearson, is a self-confessed and dedicated fan of HMS Victory. He is donating ten oaks and four elm trees.
Recent timber research on HMS Victory has concluded oak, the original material the ship was built in, is the appropriate timber to use for her general future conservation.
Andrew Baines explains: "Currently the ship comprises a variety of hardwoods from years of maintenance. The return to oak is much welcomed. It demonstrates the serious archaeological research we are undertaking about the ship's composition, from timber to paint analysis and our commitment to ensure she remains sustainable for centuries to come.
"Interestingly we understand that some 30% of the fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar hailed from Scotland so it feels entirely appropriate that timber from these estates should be playing such a big part in her future security."
The remaining two estates are kindly donating elm. The Haddo Estate, owned by Lord Aberdeen, is donating five elm trees. Rear Admiral Christopher Hockley representing the MacRobert Trust Estate is donating two elms. This timber is valuable for the future maintenance of the ship's structure below the waterline. Her keel in particular, made of elm and one of the oldest surviving parts of the ship, is a highly significant feature needing a strong programme of care given its exposed position in the dry dock.
"The quantity of elm donated by all three estates will serve as an important resource for this area in the future. Those elms which may not be suited to the particular size and shape of the keel can be made into new gun-carriages."
Once felled, the timber will be transported to the Whitney sawmill in Hereford where it will be inspected and sawed to specific dimensions appropriate for use onboard the ship. The oak is likely to become planking and the elm is to remain in large blocks needed for the keel.
The timber will then be transferred to Portsmouth where it will be seasoned, so it can be dry and strong when used. This process could take as long as four years. The longer the oak is seasoned, the stronger it becomes.

Stencil object
Official Content
This documentation is valid for:
Defines a design composed of UI controls (without associated code) to be reused in different objects.
Description
Stencils allow you to create compositions of UI controls to be able to define designs (without associated code) that can be reused in different objects.
They integrate the work of designers and developers and allow sharing designs (reuse them "as a unit" in different objects, export them, etc.).
You can even define several Stencils that have the same controls but are distributed or presented in different ways, and this allows you to keep the same design in different objects but with variants.
Surely, they help you to define standards and add consistency, simplifying the implementation of Design Systems.
Below is described how Stencils can help you:
1. Reuse the visual design of a table control in multiple panels by wrapping it as a Stencil.
Consider the BitBitNews application, which manages and shows articles about cryptocurrencies as well as the latest valuations.
It contains the following Transactions:
Coin
{
 CoinId*
 CoinName
 CoinCode
 CoinImage
 CoinCurrentPrice
 CoinCurrentTrend
}
Article
{
 ArticleId*
 ArticleTitle
 ArticleImage
}
and two Panels for Smart Devices: Coins and News.
At runtime the panels will look as follows:
Stencils_Image0
The blue frames in the panels point out a design that is desired to be always reused to show the coins (a coin image followed by its code: Stencils_Image1).
Initially, the News Panel for Smart Devices (whose object name in the KB is: ListArticles) is designed as shown below:
Stencils_Image2
The table that contains a coin code and a coin image (in this particular case the two controls that show the data are elements of an item collection variable which have been loaded with a certain logic) can be reused in other objects with the same design. So, it makes sense to wrap the table as a Stencil. To achieve this, right-click on the table and in the contextual menu select: Wrap as New Stencil.
Then, the following dialog is opened to enter a name for the new Stencil:
Stencils_Image3
After assigning a name to the Stencil and pressing the Create button, the Stencil will be created as a new object:
Stencils_Image4
You can make any change in the ShowCoin Stencil object (colors, controls movements, settings, etc.). Once saved, the changes will be reflected in the object that contains the Stencil (the ListArticles panel).
Even, to make the Stencil more generic, you can replace the &Categories.item(0).CoinCode variable with a new scalar variable (i.e. &CoinCode). Likewise, you can replace the &Categories.item(0).CoinImage variable with a new scalar variable (i.e. &CoinImage):
Stencils_Image5
Now suppose you remove the label associated with the image in the Stencil object:
Stencils_Image6
As already explained, appearance changes made to a Stencil object, are applied to the objects that contain the Stencil. So, the ListArticles panel does not show the label anymore:
Stencils_Image7
On the other hand, notice that the original variables were not changed in the panel, that is to say, the ListArticles panel still contains the original variables (and of course the logic that was defined for it). Other panels could share the same Stencil to inherit the layout, and you may replace these two controls, for example, by attributes.
What is applied and reused is the Stencil appearance.
When a second panel includes the Stencil, and the two controls are replaced by two attributes, it is probably unnecessary to define logic associated with that data load. The Stencil has nothing to do with the logic defined in the object.
Even though the layout and the appearance properties now can only be changed in the ShowCoin Stencil and not in the ListArticles panel (the panel layout shows the Stencil with gray color), while positioned on the Stencil in the panel, you can quickly access the Stencil object by right-clicking and selecting in the context menu: Open Referenced Stencil.
Stencils_Image8
Finally, to reflect the exact design that must be shown at runtime, in the Stencil object, let's swap the image with the code:
Stencils_Image9
and the ListArticles panel "receives" the corresponding update.
Now, suppose that another panel (ListCoins) is defined as shown below:
Stencils_Image10
The ShowCoin Stencil must be inserted in the grid on the left, because the coin image and the coin code must be shown with the standard design, being the first data to be shown for each line.
You can drag it into the grid from the KB Explorer or from the Stencils window(*). After that, you only need to select each control of the ShowCoin Stencil and replace each suggested variable with the corresponding attribute (&CoinImage must be replaced with CoinImage, and &CoinCode must be replaced by CoinCode):
Stencils_Image12
Note: As you may have noticed, in the first panel (ListArticles) the Stencil is inside a Flex Grid (which presents the data in a horizontal line) while in the second panel (ListCoins) the Stencil is inside a Standard Grid.
Watch Video (49s)
Another possibility to create a Stencil object is directly by selecting in the main GeneXus Menu: File > New > Object. After created, as mentioned above, to include it in some object you only have to drag it from the KB Explorer or from the Stencils window(*).
A Stencil object will always contain variables. This is because a Stencil hasn't got navigation nor a logic defined. So, if a Stencil is created from a Panel with attributes, when you save the Stencil the attributes are converted to variables. Also, if you create a new Stencil directly, it is reasonable to use variables.
2. Swapping Stencils that contain the same controls.
Stencils can also be used to quickly change between alternative designs.
Suppose you continue working with the same Knowledge Base. Now suppose you are asked to modify the design of the coin by showing the coin image below the coin code:
Stencils_Image14
Instead of editing the ShowCoin Stencil you can save it as another Stencil object and update the second one to keep both design alternatives:
Stencils_Image15
As both Stencils contain the same controls, from an object that contains one of them, you can swap it with the other (or with any other defined that contains the same controls).
So, open for example the ListCoins panel and select the ShowCoin Stencil control. After that, search in the Stencils window(*) the ShowCoin_TitleTopImageBottom and press its SWAP button:
Stencils_Image16
Thus, the referenced Stencil is the one you have chosen, and the design has changed accordingly:
Stencils_Image17
Note: You can decide to use the new Stencil only to show the coins in that way in that object, or in certain objects, or in all objects that show coins since coherence is maintained. The two Stencils correspond to the same concept of a coin, with two alternative designs.
3. Design for both Web and Smart Devices while maintaining conceptual unity.
When designing an app for both Web and Smart Devices, there are some visual elements across both platforms that are conceptually the same, even if they have to be designed differently. To take this into account, Stencils contain two layouts, one for Smart Devices and another one for the Web.
For instance, in the BitBitNews Knowledge Base, the ShowCoin Stencil was designed for SD, but it offers a combo as the image shows, to switch between the layouts for SD and Web to edit both:
Stencils_Image20
The layouts need to be edited separately because, even if they look the same at runtime, they use different design properties and might contain different controls.
If being in a Web Panel object you open a Stencil by selecting Open Referenced Stencil, it takes you directly to its Web layout. In the same way, if being in a Panel object you open a Stencil by selecting Open Referenced Stencil, it takes you directly to its SD layout.
Also, if you drag a Stencil from the KB Explorer or the Stencils Windows to a Web Panel object, the Stencil Web layout will be inserted. On the other hand, if you drag a Stencil to a Panel object the Stencil SD layout will be inserted.
Recommendation: When you open the Stencil object, observe in which tab you are positioned before making changes.
(*) You can open the Stencils window by selecting in the main GeneXus Menu: View > Other Tool Windows.

text: Abstract : Diabetic macular edema (DME) is characterized by hard exudates. In this article, we propose a novel statistical atlas based method for segmentation of such exudates. Any test fundus image is first warped on the atlas co-ordinate and then a distance map is obtained with the mean atlas image. This leaves behind the candidate lesions. Post-processing schemes are introduced for final segmentation of the exudate. Experiments with the publicly available HEI-MED data-set shows good performance of the method. A lesion localization fraction of 82.5% at 35% of non-lesion localization fraction on the FROC curve is obtained. The method is also compared to few most recent reference methods.

This paper examines the use of a so-called "generalised Hammerstein-Wiener" model structure that is formed as the concatenation of an arbitrary number of Hammerstein systems. The latter are taken here to be memoryless non-linearities followed by linear time invariant dynamics. Hammerstein, Wiener, Hammerstein-Wiener and Wiener-Hammerstein models are all special cases of this structure. The parameter estimation of this model is investigated by using a standard prediction error criterion coupled with a robust gradient based search algorithm. This approach is profiled using the Wiener-Hammerstein system benchmark data, which illustrates it to be effective and, via Monte-Carlo simulation, relatively robust against capture in local minima.

Some of the dole money grows on a tree! (5)
I believe the answer is:
'tree' is the definition.
(lemon is a kind of tree)
'some of the dole money grows' is the wordplay.
'some of' indicates a hidden word.
'LEMON' can be found hidden inside 'dole money grows'.
'on a' is the link.
(Other definitions for lemon that I've seen before include "Fruit; sort of grass, sole", "A fruit; a worthless item", "Fruit squeezed on Pancake Day?", "certainly not a plum!", "Citrus fruit (is it the answer?)".)

Improving environmental outcomes for low income households in Marrickville
The concept of "green equity" - assisting low and modest income households in meeting the challenges of climate change - has only recently been introduced to Australia but is rapidly evolving.
Local councils have a key role to play, given that they are close to the communities they serve and are in a good position to target environmental initiatives to low income households that would normally have the least capacity to take advantage of such initiatives.
There are now opportunities for Marrickville Council to take a leading position on 'green equity' and to examine policy measures to assist low income households within the area to improve environmental outcomes and wellbeing.
For information on the strategies Council is implementing to improve environmental outcomes for low income households in the area, please download the following documents:

Give up, or a bird lying on its back
Give up, or a bird lying on its back is an athletic, improvisational score for five dancers that exhausts the ways in which words fail dance, and vice versa.
Give up, or a bird lying on its back stems from the points of friction and shortcomings that exist between words and dance. It reveals the humor that can emerge as words fail dance, and the poignancy and longing that exist in the disconnection of bodily expression and language.
The work travels through the space between instinctual physical understanding and language, an uncomfortable, sometimes laughably inaccurate space. It is simultaneously inspired by the feelings that arise in artists as we are subjected to the language around our dances (criticism, journalism, publicity), and the words that we are required to use about dance (teaching, funding, marketing, pitching work). The text has been drawn from all of these sources as well as an invented process where we spontaneously invent descriptions of dance, and then must dance those words.
The creative process has undergone 7 layers of translation (including sign language interpretation by Jessica Ames and poetry by Emily Skillings) as movement is described through words, the words are interpreted back into movement again and again.

"Floating" and "interaction" are essential concepts in Eneida Pérez's work. "Floating" as a state of calm movement while "interaction" captures the awareness of your surrounding and the people around you. Her urban art installations Floating Buddha were the first translation of these concepts into her work. During the installations the Buddhas float on the water in a meditative way while interacting with other Buddhas in an unforeseeable way.
Bike Art take the concept of "floating" and "interaction" a step further: it adds the aspect of functionality. The bike remains a functional item that is turned into an art object. Making art "livable", transmitting positivness and calmness. People react to the bike art objects. They evoke awareness and and a positive attitude from others.


The Difference Between Padding and Margins in Web Design
Distinguish between the two with this guide
A stylized computer monitor
LouLou & Tummie/Imagezoo / Getty Images
Margins and padding can be confusing because, in some ways, they seem like the same thing: white space around an image or object. Here's what you as a web designer need to know about their differences.
Padding is the space between an image or cell contents and its outside border. In the image below, the padding is the yellow area around the content. In this case, padding goes completely around the contents: top, bottom, right, and left sides. You can specify how much padding (in percentage, pixels, points, etc.) for each side, and they don't have to be the same. In this way, you can position content within an element.
An illustration demonstrating and padding, borders, and margins.
In contrast, margins are the spaces outside the border of an element, between the element and whatever is adjacent to it. In the image, the margin is the white area outside the entire object. Like the padding, the margin goes completely around the contents in this example: on the top, bottom, right, and left sides. You can use margins to position divs and other elements on a page.
Always test your pages in various browsers, operating systems (including mobile), and screen sizes to make sure they display exactly as you want them to.

The first model of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Personal Compute was introduced in 1982 by Sinclair Research Limited and priced at 279 DM in 1986. It is quite small without its own monitor. It can work alone, but surely you won't know what it is doing. It can be connected to a TV set and cassette recorder. As its name implies the ZX Spectrum produces a colour output video signal. It contains a CPU, 48K RAM, ROM (read only memory) and an ULA (uncommitted logic array) chip.
Its keyboard is quite similar to a standard typewriter's one but each key can perform more than one function. All information stored in its memory is lost when it is switched off. One way of keeping the information for later use is by recording it on a cassette tape which serves as a floppy disk. Presented by K. Lanyi Scott to the Computer Center of Humboldt University, Berlin
Mrs. Lanyi got this first computer of hers from her parents as a gift in 1986. Using it she started learning BASIC. In 1998 when she got her position at the Computer Center much better personal computer had been created and become popular. It was preserved quite well and carefully kept along with two computing course manuals, a useful "Tipps and Tricks " guide and instructions for programming.

evive has an inbuilt piezo buzzer, which is an electronic device commonly used to produce sound or tone. The piezo buzzer is connected to digital pin 46 of Arduino Mega and is controlled via PWM.
Piezo buzzer is based on the inverse principle of piezoelectricity discovered in 1880 by Jacques and Pierre Curie. It is the phenomena of generating electricity when mechanical pressure is applied to certain materials. The vice versa is also true. Such materials are called piezoelectric materials. Piezo-ceramic is a class of manmade material, which poses piezoelectric effect and is widely used to make a disc, the heart of piezo buzzer. When subjected to an alternating electric field they stretch or compress, in accordance with the frequency of the signal thereby producing sound.
How to Control Piezo Buzzer in Arduino IDE
To generate the electric signal from evive to control evive, we use tone() function. It generates a square wave of the specific frequency with a 50% duty cycle on digital pin 46. A duration can be specified, otherwise, the wave continues until a call to noTone(). Only one tone can be generated at a time. If a tone is already playing on a different pin, the call to tone() will have no effect. If the tone is playing on the same pin, the call will set its frequency.
The frequency range is from 31 Hz to 65535 Hz.
tone(pin, frequency, duration)
- pin: the pin on which to generate the tone
- frequency: the frequency of the tone in hertz - unsigned int
- duration: the duration of the tone in milliseconds (optional) - unsigned long
To illustrate the use of piezo buzzer please see the following code:
How to Control Piezo Buzzer in Scratch
Play tone block is used to play sound on evive buzzer. When it is executed it plays the tone of specified frequency/note for a specific duration/beat. The note and the beat can be selected from the drop down menu. Also the user can input the specific frequency and duration (in milliseconds).
There is an inbuilt buzzer in evive connected to digital pin 46. By default, this pin is selected.

Might As Well Jump
Laszlo Laufer and Bottyan Nemeth, two Hungarian researchers at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, have found that gamer's button pressing is predicatable two seconds beforehand based on skin conductance. Using a basic game called YetiSports JungleSwing that involves a yeti jumping from tree to tree, they measured volunteer's heart rate, skin conductance and electrical activity. After analysis of the data, they found that skin conductance by itself is enough to predict a jump two seconds before the player does it.
They think the technology could have useful applications for pilots among others, helping to speed up reaction time. They also see usefulness in computer games that could incessantly piss you off by predicting your next move. Sensors could probably easily be built into the next generation of console controllers with feedback actually affecting gameplay. To what extent is obviously unknown, but this should come in handy when somebody creates a game where you have to fight a gun-wielding psychic.

While you may love the look of pristine white plastic items, they will show their age over time. When white plastic gets old and dirty, it tends to take on a yellow hue. Sometimes plastic turns yellow because of excessive sun exposure, while other times the yellow colouring is because of age, heat exposure or dirt. Often, the yellowing is evidence of chemical changes that have occurred in the plastic. If this is the case, you will not be able to get the plastic completely white again. In most cases though, you will be able to lighten the yellowing and improve the item's appearance.
Place the plastic item in a container of warm, soapy water and allow it to soak for 10 minutes.
Use a nylon scouring brush to clean the plastic. Apply steady, even pressure as you clean.
Rinse the item under cool running water to remove the debris you loosened.
Pour hydrogen peroxide over the plastic and scrub with the brush. Hydrogen peroxide will help to lighten the yellowed areas significantly. You can also allow the item to soak in the peroxide for up to two hours.
Create a mixture of 4 tablespoons of bleach and 4 cups of warm water. Soak the plastic in the solution for half an hour. Rinse the item under cool water thoroughly after removing it.
Let the plastic air dry. If the plastic is still yellow, repeat soaking processes.
- Some yellowing is irreversible. If you can't remove the yellow from the plastic, consider painting the item.
- Wear gloves when handling bleach; it can irritate the skin.


Is parametrization necessary?
I want to construct a rectangle such that
 - it has integer dimensions a×ba \times b that differ by exactly 1 (i.e. ab=1);(\text{i.e. }|a-b|=1);
 - its diagonal also has an integer length.
The diagram to the right shows such a rectangle.
Is there any other way to construct a rectangle satisfying the above properties?

Shiloh is a farming community on Farm Road 1470 near Galvan Creek, two miles west of Leming and five miles northeast of Poteet in north central Atascosa County. A community by this name existed in the area as early as 1857, when the first burial was conducted in the Shiloh Cemetery. A schoolhouse was built in 1868 and was also used for Baptist services until a separate church was completed in 1878. Until the end of the 1800s the community also had a general store. The school had fifty-one White students and one teacher in 1904, but was consolidated with Pleasanton schools soon after that. No population figures were available for Shiloh, which is often shown on maps as Shiloh Cemetery. In 1936 the community included only the cemetery and a few widely scattered dwellings. The cemetery was deeded in 1874 with eight acres and was still in use in the 1980s. In 1985 the Texas Historical Commission placed a historical marker at Shiloh Cemetery. No population estimates were available for the community in 2000.

Noise Abatement FAQs
Here are answers to frequently asked questions regarding noise abatement at Tampa International Airport.
What is a Part 150 Study?
A Part 150 Study is a voluntary study that is initiated by an airport sponsor to determine ways to reduce noise over residential and other noise-sensitive areas. It also aids in the determination and planning of compatible and non-compatible land areas surrounding an airport. The purpose of the recently approved Part 150 Study is to evaluate existing conditions and recommend proposed noise abatement and land use management measures intended to reduce the impact of aircraft noise on residents and land areas surrounding the Airport.
In order for our noise abatement program to be a formal program, the Aviation Authority would have to demonstrate to the FAA that the voluntary program was not adequate to mitigate noise impacts as we grow. The FAA requires that airport analyze noise impacts and develop involuntary noise mitigation programs under the guidance of Federal Aviation Regulation Part 161. We have been diligently collecting data as part of the noise office function to be able to quantify the noise issues at TPA in the event that Part 161 becomes our only option. It should be noted that the FAA is very hesitant to approve Part 161 Studies to formalize noise abatement procedures due to capacity issues in the national aviation system, aviation industry and pilot resistance. Part 161 Studies are very controversial and sometimes are challenged in court. The Aviation Authority remains confident that we can implement the voluntary program successfully because we are vigilant. We do look at the involuntary program option when we update our Part 150 Study, however with the cooperation we receive from our Air Traffic Control Tower staff it hasn't been warranted.
What should prospective home buyers in Hillsborough County do before purchasing property?
The Aviation Authority can help you learn about the varying flight patterns, peak travel month, and potential noise impact areas from aircraft operations. We can provide flight track information that show predominant aircraft flight patterns at TPA. We encourage home buyers to visit properties at several different times of the day and during various seasons. For additional information, call the noise office at _PHONE_
When do most planes depart or arrive at TPA?
Airlines design their schedules for the convenience of their customers. The heaviest travel periods are early to mid-morning and mid-afternoon to early evening. Cargo aircraft operate late-night and early-morning flights. Aircraft can access TPA at anytime of day or night.
Planes must takeoff and land into the direction of the wind, therefore, the direction of arrivals and departures is determined almost exclusively by wind direction. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is in charge of air traffic control at TPA.
Over what areas do planes most often fly?
Residents living within 35 miles of any major metropolitan airport can expect to see aircraft at some point during the day. Aircraft can deviate from one of the predominant flight patterns due to wind direction and/or speed, thunderstorms, instructions from air traffic control, emergency, operational constraint, and safety, etc.
 - The public wants to have complaints documented and sometimes seeks information. Most of all, the public seeks change in the condition as they want the noise to go away. People are concerned about aircraft noise and complain because they would like to see changes occur. At times a call may alert the Airport of an unusual noise event(s) and/or a recurring problem that can be investigated and resolved. However, a noise complaint may not bring about an individual's desired change. The noise complaint line provides individuals the ability to express their concerns about aviation noise at TPA.
 - People file complaints for different reasons and have different expectations. The Aviation Authority tries to be responsive to the public and can take action when appropriate and when able to, but some callers will be frustrated when they learn that changes cannot be made. Other callers are satisfied that they have "gone on record" and have voiced their concerns.
Why doesn't TPA have a curfew or rules similar to those at other airports?
In 1990 Congress passed legislation that made it extremely difficult for airports to initiate curfews or other noise and access restrictions. This Federal legislation "grandfathered" all existing noise/access restrictions at other airports that had such restrictions. These airports already had noise restrictions that were allowed to remain in place. TPA had a voluntary Informal Runway Use Program which emphasizes preferential priority runways for turbojets and where noted, turboprop operations and pilot education.
TPA's informal runway use program is often used by pilots under ideal conditions. Factors such as weather, FAA ATCT instructions, operational necessity, safety, and the presence of other aircraft will often dictate a flight path that is different from the informal runway use program.
What good does it do to call in or send a noise complaint email when the noise abatement procedures are voluntary?
Pilot education is a major part of our noise abatement program and the noise complaints assist the Airport in this effort. The noise complaints are compiled and published in a quarterly newsletter that allows the Airport to see trends which assist staff in enhancing the education program.
 - "Except when necessary for takeoff of landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitude:
It is important to be aware of two aspects of this regulation. First, most aircraft operating in the vicinity of TPA are in the process of landing or taking off, thus this regulation does not apply. Second, helicopters are specifically exempted from this Federal regulation.
TPA preferred departure and arrival procedures for turbojets and turbo props are used frequently during periods of good weather. During periods of reduced visibility (rain, fog, etc) aircraft must use an Instrument Landing System (ILS). During these periods, aircraft will be vectored around the weather cells and thus, areas that are normally not impacted by aircraft over-flights, occasionally, will receive over-flights.
Why do airplanes fly out of the departure and arrival flight paths?
There are many reasons, sometimes beyond the airline's control, why a jet may fly out of the preferred voluntary flight path. These include traffic conflicts, weather, air traffic control directives, safety considerations, aircraft performance and pilot technique, etc.
It seems like the Airport has been operating on the same flow pattern for days. Is this fair?
Wind and weather dictate which runway end or flow direction (north or south) the FAA can use. If Tampa Bay is in a persistent weather pattern this may force the FAA to rely on the same runway end for a long period of time.
Who tells the pilots where and when to turn?
Pilots fly prescribed routes to and from TPA as instructed by air traffic controllers. The FAA is responsible for managing TPA's airspace and for ensuring the safe and expeditious flow of traffic.
So what makes a jet loud?
Why do some aircraft seem louder than others?
Aircraft operating at TPA have a diverse range of noise levels. These noise levels primarily depend on the type of engine used by the aircraft, the size of the aircraft and whether the aircraft is taxiing on the airfield, landing or taking off. The newest so called "full Stage 3" aircraft tend to be the quietest aircraft in the fleet. Aircraft with Stage 3 "hushkitted" engines tend to be the loudest. See (Noise Glossary for clarification on Stage 3 versus Hushkitts). Departures tend to be louder than arrivals since the pilot is forcing more power to the engine to achieve lift.

A Vertex Cover (VC) of a connected undirected (un)weighted graph G is a subset of vertices V of G such that for every edge in G, at least one of its endpoints is in V. A Minimum Vertex Cover (MVC) of G is a VC that has the smallest cardinality (if unweighted) or total weight (if weighted) among all possible VCs. A graph can have multiple VC but the value of MVC is unique.
There is another problem called Maximum Independent Set (MIS) that attempts to find the largest subset of vertices in a (un)weighted graph G without any adjacent vertices in the subset. Interestingly, the complement of an MVC of a graph is an MIS.
At the end of every visualization, when an algorithm highlights an MVC solution to a graph, it will also highlight its MIS (which is its complement) with light blue color.

There are two available modes: Unweighted (default) and Weighted. You can switch between the two modes by clicking the respective tab.
There are algorithms that work in both modes and there are algorithms that only work in a certain mode.

View the visualisation of the selected MVC algorithms here.
Originally, all vertices and edges in the input graph are colored with the standard black outline. As the visualization goes on, the color light blue will be used to denote covered edges and the color orange on edge will be used to show traversed edges.
At the end of the selected MVC algorithm, if it finds a minimum VC, it will highlight the MVC vertices with orange color and the non MVC vertices (a.k.a. the MIS vertices) with lightblue; color. Otherwise, if the found vertex cover is not proven to be the minimal one (e.g. the algorithm used is an approximation algorithm), it will highlight the vertices that belong to the found vertex cover with orange color without highlighting the MIS vertices.
Another pro-tip: We designed this visualization and this e-Lecture mode to look good on 1366x768 resolution or larger (typical modern laptop resolution in 2017).

Bruteforce: It tries all possible 2^V subset of vertices. In every iteration, it checks whether the currently selected subset of vertices is a valid vertex cover by iterating over all E edges and check whether there is any edge that is not covered by the vertices in the currently selected subset. This bruteforce algorithm keeps the smallest size of the valid vertex cover as the answer.
This bruteforce algorithm is available in both weighted and unweighted version.
Its time complexity is O(2^V × E), i.e. very slow.

DP on Tree: If the graph is a tree, the MVC problem can be formulated as a Dynamic Programming problem where the states are (position, take_current_vertex).
Then, it can be seen that:
DP(u, take) = cost[u] + sum(min(DP(v, take), DP(v, not_take))) ∀child v of u, and
DP(u, not take) = sum(DP(v, take)) ∀child v of u
This DP algorithm is available in both weighted and unweighted version.
Its time complexity is O(V), i.e. very fast, if the input graph is a tree.

Greedy MVC on Tree: Again, if the graph is an unweighted tree, it can be solved greedily by observing that if there is any MVC solution that takes a leaf vertex, we can obtain a "not worse" solution by taking the parent of that leaf vertex instead. After removing all covered vertices, we can apply the same observation and repeat it until every vertex is covered.
This greedy MVC algorithm is only available in unweighted mode.
Its time complexity is O(V), i.e. very fast, if the input graph is an unweighted tree.

Kőnig's Theorem: From Kőnig's Theorem, the size of MVC in an unweighted bipartite graph is equal to the cardinality of the maximum matching of the bipartite graph. In the case of weighted bipartite graph, we can see that this theorem also holds true, with a tweak in how we construct the graph. In this visualization, we use a reduction to max flow problem to get the value of the MVC.
This algorithm is available in both weighted and unweighted version.
Its time complexity is O(V × E) (for unweighted version; can be smaller with pre-processing) or O(E^2 × V)/O(V^2 × E) (for weighted version, depending on the max flow algorithm used).

There are several known approximation algorithms for MVC:
 1. For unweighted version, we have either the deterministic 2-approximation or probabilistic 2-approximation (in expectation),
 2. For weighted version whe have the Bar-Yehuda and Even's 2-approximation algorithm.
Note that these algorithms only yield an "approximated" MVC, meaning that they are not a true minimum vertex cover, but a good enough one.

Focus Group:
Strengthening and Diversifying the Clergy
In order to have a stronger and sustainable Clergy, it must be diverse. Our goal is to include all people, men and women with diverse backgrounds, as equal partners in the Church, as they already are in the eyes of God. Here are some of the questions this Focus Group is exploring:
 - How can we include women in highly visible diocesan-wide leadership roles? How can we increase women's voices and their votes in matters of church governance?
 - How can we address the diminishing number of clergy and seek a way forward by encouraging women and men called to serve in the Church?
 - We aim to promote discussions between laity and clergy about women serving in the diaconate and married men and women serving as priests.
 - How do we work with the diocese to better understand the attitudes of the laity about a variety of church issues, and how the laity can help support the priests in every parish, through surveys and active listening sessions?
