Angular Databinding
Databinding is a powerful feature of Angular. Angular Databinding is used for communication. It is used to communicate between your TypeScript code (your business logic) and the other component which is shown to the users i.e. HTML layout.
Databinding is necessary because when we write the code in TypeScript, it is compiled to JavaScript and the result is shown on HTML layout. Thus, to show the correct and spontaneous result to the users, a proper communication is necessary. That's why databinding is used in Angular.
There is two type of databinding:
One-way databinding
One way databinding is a simple one way communication where HTML template is changed when we make changes in TypeScript code.
Or
In one-way databinding, the value of the Model is used in the View (HTML page) but you can't update Model from the View. Angular Interpolation / String Interpolation, Property Binding, and Event Binding are the example of one-way databinding.
Two-way databinding
In two-way databinding, automatic synchronization of data happens between the Model and the View. Here, change is reflected in both components. Whenever you make changes in the Model, it will be reflected in the View and when you make changes in View, it will be reflected in Model.
This happens immediately and automatically, ensures that the HTML template and the TypeScript code are updated at all times.

There is nothing called fate.
Fate does not exist.
Fate is ever unreal.
Fate does nothing. Only imagination is such.
Except the state of a corpse, motionless is not seen in this world. The acquisition of results arises out of movement or action. Therefore fate is nonsensical.
Fate has been fashioned by fools. Those having that as the highest object are destroyed. But the wise have arrived at this position of excellence by means of manly effort.
Among those with weak intellects, fate is only a consolation in their sorrow. This is a comforting word. Really, there is no fate.
The attainment of fortunate or unfortunate things of a result accomplished by fruitful human effort in this world is described by the word 'fate.'
On obtaining the results of one's own actions, those statements such as 'this is so circumstanced,' have attained fame by the name 'fate.'
Under those very circumstances, the firm belief that there is fate is assumed by the foolish on account of wrong perception, just as a snake is assumed in a rope.
There is nothing called fate which has a form other than one's own former action. That former human effort is indeed described by the word 'fate.'
As much as there is effort, so would there be result quickly. Thus, there is only human effort. That alone could be 'fate.'

2020 - table - MDF ITALIA
« Une ellipse à deux foyers, une table à deux pieds » Jean Nouvel
This table is built around simple geometrical shapes: a round base cylinder for the round table, and an oval base cylinder for the oval table.
Returning to the principle of the trilith, the volume of the bases is divided into two distinct parts and emphasizes the constructive force linking the three elements.
The result is a central base consisting of two legs, tapered upwards to minimize the area of intersection between the legs and the top. The structural limit point is thus reached, while allowing for a significant overhang.
In addition, this division into two parts simplifies assembly and facilitates handling.

The Rude Man of Cerne
The Rude Man of Cerne, better known as the Cerne Abbas Giant, is a giant figure of a naked man with an inappropriately erect phallus, wielding a primitive club in his right hand, made on a hill near the village of Cerne Abbas in Dorset, England. The Cerne Abbas Giant was created by carving through the turf of the hillside to a depth of approximately 30cm to reveal the underlying chalk common in this region. Measuring 55 meters in length and 50.5 meters wide, if measured from hand to hand, it is one of the largest and the most popular hillfigures in Britain. The remarkable phallus alone, including its testicles, is 11 meters long and nearly the length of its head. The Giant has been cheekily described as "Britain's most famous phallus". According to one publication, postcards of the Giant were the only indecent photographs that could be sent through the English Post Office.
Photo credit
Although the Cerne Abbas Giant is often thought of as an ancient creation, its history cannot be traced back further than the late 17th century. The earliest known written reference to the giant appear in a 4 November 1694 entry in the Churchwardens' Accounts from St Mary's Church in Cerne Abbas. Later references to the giant started appearing in contemporary magazines beginning in 1763.
It has been suggested that the figure originally held a cloak in its left arm and stood over a disembodied head. The cloak may have been a depiction of an animal skin, giving credence to the theory that the giant was a depiction of a hunter, or alternatively, Hercules with the skin of the Nemean lion over his arm. Additionally, reviewing historical depictions of the giant, it has been suggested that the Giant's current large erection is, in fact, the result of merging a circle representing his navel with a smaller penis during a re-cut. The lack of earlier descriptions leads modern scholars to conclude that the Giant is no older than the 17th century, and perhaps originated as political satire.
Regardless of its age, the Cerne Abbas Giant has become an important part of local culture and folklore, which often associates it with fertility. Local women who wanted to conceive would spend a night alone on the hillside, particularly within the confines of his giant phallus, and young couples would make love on the giant to ensure conception. Locals would erect a maypole on the earthwork, around which childless couples would dance to promote fertility. Sleeping on the giant was also thought to be a good way to ensure a future wedding for unmarried women.
In modern times the giant has been used for several publicity stunts and as an advertisement to promote condoms, jeans and bicycles, among numerous other things.

🔗 Outlook: decreasing work by automation
As mentioned in this blog post about the authors and reviewers survey, we're in the process of trying to maximize automation of all than can be automated in order to reduce and simplify work for everyone involved. This way, humans can focus on what they're best at. Our current automation efforts include two packages in development: one for package authors, rodev, by rOpenSci staff, and one for package reviewers, pkgreviewr, by community member (and guest editor!) Anna Krystalli. We also are working on automating most of the checks that use goodpractice::gp so they are run on CI infrastructure automatically on submission, rather than requiring editors to do so locally.
If you liked this data exploration, stay tuned for the third and final post of this series, about the social weather of onboarding as characterized by a tidy text analysis of onboarding threads! And don't forget to check out the first post of the series, about data collection, if you haven't read it yet.


tcscan(1) scan multimedia streams from medium and print information on the
SYNOPSIS
tcscan
-i name [ -x codec ] [ -e r[,b[,c]] ] [ -b bitrate ] [ -w num ] [ -f rate ] [ -d verbosity ] [ -v ]
COPYRIGHT
tcscan is Copyright (C) by Thomas Oestreich.
DESCRIPTION
tcscan is part of and usually called by transcode.
However, it can also be used independently.
tcscan reads source (from stdin if not explicitely defined) and prints on the standard output.
OPTIONS
-i name
Specify input source. If ommited, stdin is assumed.
You can specify a file, directory, device, mountpoint or host address as input source. tcscan usually handles the different types correctly.
-d level
With this option you can specify a bitmask to enable different levels of verbosity (if supported). You can combine several levels by adding the corresponding values:
QUIET 0
INFO 1
DEBUG 2
STATS 4
WATCH 8
FLIST 16
VIDCORE 32
SYNC 64
COUNTER 128
PRIVATE 256
-v
Print version information and exit.
NOTES
tcscan is a front end for scaning various source types and is used in transcode's import modules. tcscan does a complete scan of the source to gather information.
EXAMPLES
The command tcscan -i foo.avi prints header information about the AVI-file itself and lists details on the video and audio content, e.g., keyframes, chunk structure.
The command cat audio.pcm | tcscan -x pcm -e 48000,16,2 simply determines the playtime lenghth of the raw audio stream.
The command tcscan -x mp3 -i input.mp3 will print the number of chunks in the MP3 file and the average bitrate.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I have read this thread, but I don't think it addresses the same problem.
I am looking for a way to have a command in LaTeX with an interface as follows:
\placetextbox{x_in_page_percentage, y_in_page_percentage}{This is my text}
The command would place the text This is my text centered within a box that may overlap with anything else on the page, and that would be placed at the coordinates specified by the variables x_in_page_percentage and y_in_page_percentage. These variables control the location of the x in the diagram below. E.g.
 This is my text
This way, something like \placetextbox{0.5, 0.5}{This is my text} would place the text roughly on the center of the page, regardless of anything else that may be on that location.
Any thoughts how to do this?

The eso-pic package allows you to add pictures (and text) to pages as an overlay/in the foreground [as an underlay/in the background]. The specific command used to add content to the current page is \AddToShipoutPictureFG* [\AddToShipoutPictureBG*]. The starred * versions of these commands limit the output to the current page, while the unstarred versions ship its contents out to every page.
The following minimal example illustrates the technique used to answer your question in the form of a macro \placetextbox{}{}{}:
\usepackage{lipsum}% For 'Lorem Ipsum' dummy text
\usepackage[pscoord]{eso-pic}% The zero point of the coordinate systemis the lower left corner of the page (the default).
\newcommand{\placetextbox}[3]{% \placetextbox{}{}{}
 \setbox0=\hbox{#3}% Put in a box
 \AddToShipoutPictureFG*{% Add to current page foreground
\placetextbox{0.5}{0.5}{\fbox{\Huge\textsf{This is my text.}}}%
\placetextbox{0.5}{1}{\Huge\texttt{Here is another piece of text.}}%
\placetextbox{0.1}{0.1}{\Large $\mathcal{A}_1$}%
Placement of text at absolute position on page
Other packages are also capable of doing this, including background and tikz.

Thanks _USER_. I get the following error with eso_pic: "Option clash for package eso-pic". Before that, I get a warning that says "You have requested the package ;eso-pic', but the package provides 'everyshi'" Any thoughts why I get this? – user815423426 Aug 2 '11 at 19:42
Are you compiling the minimal example provided above? – Werner Aug 2 '11 at 19:51
I just made it compile with the minimal example above. Thanks! Any clues why I may be getting the error "Option clash for the package eso-pic" with a more complex document? – user815423426 Aug 2 '11 at 20:03
Nevermind. I just made it work. All I had to do is to include it in the document before other packages. Thanks a lot. It's a useful command to add copyright notices in papers, etc. – user815423426 Aug 2 '11 at 20:12

Background: Both heart failure symptoms and self-care are associated with patient outcomes. Although it is thought that symptoms drive self-care, there is limited evidence to support this assumption over time. Aims: To determine whether patterns of physical symptoms are significantly associated with heart failure self-care over time. Method: Latent mixture analysis was used to identify subgroups based on physical symptoms of dyspnea, sleepiness and edema (using the heart failure somatic perception and Epworth sleepiness scales). Growth modeling was used to determine if symptom subgroups were associated with self-care behaviors (using the self-care in heart failure index) over 6 months. Sociodemographic and clinical variables predicting the likelihood of subgroup membership were identified using logistic regression. Results: The sample (n=146) was on average 57 years old, 70% were men and 59% had class III/IV heart failure. Two symptom subgroups were identified (entropy 0.91): a high symptom group (n=24; 16%) with no significant change in symptoms over time (high sustained), and a low symptom group (n=122; 84%) with no significant change in symptoms over time (low sustained). The high sustained group was associated significantly with better self-care behaviors at baseline and over 6 months. Women (odds ratio (OR) 3.67, P=0.023) and patients with more depressive symptoms (OR 1.16, P=0.015) were more likely to be in the high sustained symptom group. Those treated with a renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system agent were less likely to be in the high symptom group (OR 0.17, P=0.015). Conclusion: Patients bothered more by symptoms are consistently more engaged in self-care behaviors over time. The results of this study support symptoms as an important driver of self-care behaviors.

Our goal is to understand the structure of subgroups of graphs of groups. This will enable us to prove things like: F \ast_{z} F is LERF.
Exercise 22. A group is coherent if every fg subgroup is fp. Prove that \pi_1 of a finite graph of groups with coherent vertex groups and cyclic edge group is coherent.
Recall, that if H \subseteq \pi_1 \mathcal{G}=G is fg then H has an induced graph of groups structure. \mathcal{H} =H \backslash T_H \subseteq H \backslash T where T is the Bass-Serre tree of \mathcal{G}.
Topologically, H defines a covering space X^H \rightarrow X_g, which inherits a graph of spaces structure with underlying graph H\backslash T.
\Gamma' =H \backslash T_H \subseteq H \backslash T is a finite connected subgraph and the image of \Gamma' in X^H is a connected subcomplex X' such that \pi_1 X' = \pi_1 X^H =H. X' has the structure of a graph of space with underlying graph \Gamma'
There is an explicit algebraic description of H\backslash T, which follows immediately from Lemmas 16,17,18.
Lemma 23. (a) The vertices of H\backslash T are in bijection with \coprod_{v \in V(\Gamma)} H \backslash G/G_v=\coprod_{v \in V(\Gamma)}\{HgG_v\mid g \in G\}.
The vertex HgG_v is labelled by: H \cap gG_vg^{-1}, well-defined up to conjugation in H.
(b) The edges of H\backslash T are in bijection with \coprod_{e \in E(\Gamma)} H \backslash G/G_e. The vertex HgG_e is labelled with H \cap g G_e g ^{-1}.
(c) The edges of H\backslash T adjoining the vertex corresponding to HgG_v are in bijection with \coprod_{e~\mathrm{adjoining}~v} (g^{-1} H g \cap G_v ) \backslash G_v/G_e.
Now we will try to understand this topologically. In particular, we will understand the edge maps of a covering space of a graph of spaces.
Let f:X \rightarrow Y be a continuous map and Y' \rightarrow Y a covering map. If f':X \rightarrow Y' makes the diagram commutes, then f' is a lift of f.
Lemma 24. Fix basepoint x \in X, y=f(x) \in Y, and y' \in Y' mapping to y. There is a lift f':X \rightarrow Y' with f'(x)=y' if and only if f_{\ast} \pi_1(X,x) \subseteq \pi_1(Y',y'). Furthermore, if this lift exists it is unique.
It may be impossible to lift at y'. But it is possible if we pass to a covering space. Eg., if \tilde{X} \rightarrow X is the universal cover. Intuitively, an elevation is a minimal lift.
Definition: Let X,Y,Y', x,y,y' be as above. A based connected covering space (X',x') \rightarrow (X,x) together with a based map f':(X',x')\to (Y',y') such that
commutes is an elevation (of f at y') if whenever the diagram
commutes and X' \rightarrow \bar{X} is a covering map of degree larger than 1 then the composition (\bar{X},\bar{x}) \rightarrow (X,x) \rightarrow (Y,y) does not lift to Y' at y'.
The unbased covering map X' \rightarrow X or equivalently the conjugacy class of the subgroup \pi_1(X') \subseteq \pi_1(X) is called the degree of the elevation f'.
Let \Gamma be a finitely generated group. It has a surjection F_s \rightarrow \Gamma for S finite. Elements of the kernel are called relations and the elements of S are called genereators. Suppose the kernel is generated as a normal subgroup by a subgroup K \subseteq F_S. Then we write \Gamma \cong \langle S|R \rangle to mean \Gamma \cong F_S/ \langle \langle R \rangle \rangle. If R is finite, the \Gamma is said to be finitely presentable.
Example: \mathbb{Z} \cong \langle b,c|bcb^{-1}c^{-1},b^2c^{-3} \rangle.
Let's develop a topological point of view.
Let X^{(1)} be the standard rose for F_S. Each relation r \in R corresponds to a (homotopy class of a) map f_r:S^1 \rightarrow X^{(1)}. We construct a 2-complex X gluing on a 2-cell using the map f_r for each relation r \in R.
Lemma 6: \pi_1(X) \cong \Gamma
Proof: This is a simple application of the Seifert-van Kampen Theorem.
We call X a presentation complex for \Gamma, and we deduce that every finitely generated group is \pi_1 of a 2-complex.
Exercise 8: Every finitely presented group is \pi_1 of a closed 4-manifold.
Therefore, \Gamma acts freely and properly discontinuously on some 2-complex \tilde{X}, the universal cover of X.
Definition: Let S be a finite generating set for \Gamma as above. Then Cay_S(\Gamma)=\tilde{X}^{(1)} is the Cayley graph of \Gamma with respect to S.
To see that this only depends on S, let's give the more standard definition. The vertices of Cay_S(\Gamma) are just the elements of \Gamma. For each generator g \in S, two vertices \gamma,\delta are joined by an edge iff \gamma g=\delta
The group \Gamma acts by left translation.
 1. \mathbb{Z}\cong \langle 1\rangle.
 2. \mathbb{Z} \cong \langle 2,3 \rangle.
 3. The tree for F_S.
Definition: The Cayley graph Cay_S(\Gamma) induces a natural length metric on \Gamma, denoted d_S and called the word metric. Note that d_S(1,\gamma)=l_S(\gamma), the word length of \gamma.
The action of \Gamma on Cay_S(\gamma) is by isometries.
Given a metric space (X,d), a geodesic is just an isometric embedding of a compact interval into X.
A metric space is geodesic if any pair of point is joined by a geodesic. Note that Cay_S(\Gamma) is a geodesic metric space.
Definition: Let \lambda,\epsilon \geq 0. A (\lambda,\epsilon)-quasi isometric embedding is a map of metric space f:X \rightarrow Y such that \lambda^{-1}d_X(x_1,x_2)-\epsilon \leq d_Y(f(x_1),f(x_2)) \leq \lambda d_X(x_1,x_2)+\epsilon.
If for some C, we also have that for every y \in Y, there is x \in X such that d_Y(f(x),y) \leq C, then f is a quasi-isometry.
Exercise 9: Quasi-isometry is an equivalent relation (use the Axiom of Choice).
Exercise 10: Let S and S' be two finite generating sets for \Gamma. Then id:(\Gamma,d_S) \rightarrow (\Gamma,d_{S'}) is a (\lambda,0) quasi-isometry.
Example: (\mathbb{Z}^2,l^1) \hookrightarrow (\mathbb{R}^2,l^2) is a quasi-isometry.

Descent of Man
Charles Darwin first illustrated an evolutionary explanation of beards in 'The Descent of Man'.
In which he hypothesized that the process of sexual selection may have led to beards. Females find hirsute suitors sexy. Explanations for the existence of beards include signalling sexual maturity and signalling dominance by increasing perceived size of jaws, and clean-shaved faces are rated less dominant than bearded. Detractors may deny it, but modern biologists have reaffirmed Darwin's theory with evidence that the ladies find mates with beards more attractive than their clean-shaven brethren.

Shri Amar Muni
The Difference Between Tirthankar and
Depending on mental alertness or dynamism of the practicer there are
numerous levels of practicers, viz. Jinakalpi (solitary), Abhigrahdhari
(who gives emphasis on specific resolution), Pramatta (partially alert),
Apramatta (absolutely alert), Saragi (partially detached), Vitragi
(absolutely detached), etc. The first step in this progression is Sadhu
(ascetic) and the last is Vitrag, Tirthankar and Kewal Jnani (omniscient).
Although there is no difference in the level of knowledge of a Tirthankar
and an omniscient, the status of Tirthankar has its own importance. It has
its own attributes and recognition. The difference between these two
states of highest purity are as follows -
1. In a Tirthankar there is precipitation of the Tirthankar-nam-karma.
This is absent in case of common omniscient.
2. For two earlier births a Tirthankar necessarily acquires
right-perception. It is not a rule for a common omniscient.
3. A Tirthankar while in the womb has Avadhi Jnan (all knowledge of
the physical world). It is not a rule for a common omniscient.
4. The mother of a Tirthankar has fourteen great dreams at the time
of conception. It is not so in the case of a common omniscient.
5. A Tirthankar is always a male, the case of Mallinath being an
unique exception. For a common omniscient this rule does not apply.
6. A Tirthankar is not breast-fed; whereas a common omniscient (Kewali)
7. A Tirthankar gives charity for one year immediately before Diksha,
as a rule. A Kewali does not necessarily.
8. A Tirthankar does not give discourse before attaining omniscience,
he may, however, answer a question. A Kewali does give discourses even
as a common ascetic.
9. In a Tirthankar�s life there are five auspicious events. It is not
so in case of a Kewali.
10. A Tirthankar acquires Manahparyav Jnan immediately after his
Diksha. A Kewali does not.
11. A Tirthankar is self-enlightened. A Kewali is not necessarily.
12. Before his Diksha a Tirthankar is formally asked for that by the
gods. For Kewali no god arrives.
13. A Tirthankar establishes the four pronged religious organization
or ford; not a Kewali.
14. A Tirthankar has a religious order; not a Kewali.
15. The principal disciples of a Tirthankar are Ganadhars. A Kewali�s
disciples are not.
16. A Tirthankar has eight auspicious attributes; not a Kewali.
17. A Tirthankar has thirty four unique attributes; not a Kewali.
18. A Tirthankar�s speech has thirty five unique attributes; not a
19. A Tirthankar in his progression to purity does not touch the I,
II, III, V and XI Gunasthans (the specific stages on the path of
purity); whereas a Kewali may touch all gunasthans except the XI.
20. A Tirthankar does not have Kewali-Samudghat (a special process of
spsiritophysical transformation); a Kewali has.
21. A Tirthankar is born in the Kshatriya caste. A Kewali may be from
any and all castes.
22. A Tirthankar has Sam-chaturasra Samsthn (one of the six types of
anatomical structures). A Kewali may have nay of the six.
23. The minimum and maximum age of a Tirthankar is 72 years and 8.4
million Purvas respectively. In case of a Kewali it is 9 years and 10
24. The height of a Tirthanakar may be between 7 Haath (about 7 feet)
and 500 Dhanush (about 2000 feet). A Kewali is between 2 Haath and 20
25. A Tirthankar may exist only in fifteen specific Karma-bhumi�s
(the worlds of action). A Kewali exists generally in the fourth part,
however, one born in the fourth part may attain the status during the
fifth part also.
26. A Tirthankar is always self initiated. A Kewali may also be
initiated by others.
27. A Tirthankar exists only in the third and fourth part, however,
one born in the fourth part may attain the status during the fifth part
28. Two Tirthankars never happen to meet each other; whereas Kewalis
29. The minimum number of Tirthankars existing at one time is twenty
and maximum is 170. For Kewali�s these numbers are 20 million and 90

The print subsystem requires access information for the printer. The subsystem uses the destination name when making the network connection to the printer. You supply this name to the print subsystem by using the lpadmin command. This name then becomes part of the printer configuration database. The printer access name is the name of the printer node, sometimes qualified by a port name. Port designation varies across printer vendors. You can find information about port designation in the printer documentation.
Here is the format of printer access name:
Destination names can be specified in one of three forms:
(destination) - Is resolved by locating a printer-uri-supported key/value pair for the named destination in the printers.conf or the printers configuration database. If no printer-uri-supported key is found for an entry, it's bsdaddr value is converted to printer URI form and used.
(scheme://endpoint) - Is completely resolved and specifies the protocol and communication endpoint to contact for print services. This form of destination name is useful for accessing print services outside of your system's current management domain. Since the name includes the protocol to use when contacting the print service, you can select a richer protocol than the RFC-1179 protocol.
(server:queue[:extensions]) - Is complete and resolves to an equivalent printer URI form of lpd://server/printers/queue[_TAG_] This form is being maintained for backward compatibility only. The printer URI form is the preferred replacement.
A common port designation with TCP is 9100. If the printer node name is pn1, and the printer vendor defines the port as 9100, then the printer access name is pn1:9100. To configure a printer in this case, use the following command:
lpadmin -p printer_name -o dest=pn1:9100
When you use the BSD protocol, the port designation might not be a number, but some name defined by the printer vendor, for example: xxx_parallel_1. If the printer node name is cardboard, then the printer access name is cardboard:xxx_parallel_1. To configure a printer in this case, use the following command:
lpadmin -p printer-name -o dest=cardboard:xxx_parallel_1
If there is no port designation, and the printer node name is newspaper, the printer access name is the printer node name: newspaper. To configure a printer in this case, use the following command:
lpadmin -p printer-name -o dest=newspaper


How a Carpet Cleaner Works
How a Carpet Cleaner Works
How Do Carpet Cleaners Work?
carpet cleaner, also known as a carpet extractor or carpet shampooer, is designed to remove deeply embedded dirt and stains in carpets. For optimal results, the machines work as follows: Users pretreat the carpet by spraying it with a cleaning solution and letting it soak in, or dwell, for about 15 minutes. Then, operators use the carpet cleaner, which pumps water into the carpet and extracts the dirty, soapy fluid with a high-powered vacuum. Some units include components to heat the rinse water, others don't.
Carpet cleaners are sometimes referred to as "steam carpet cleaners," "carpet steam cleaners," or even "steam cleaners." True steam cleaners use dry vapor steam, which is ineffective for general-purpose carpet cleaning.
In general, carpet cleaners come in configurations that allow the user to clean with a large wand. Walk-behind carpet cleaners offer wide cleaning paths for greater efficiency when cleaning large areas. The XTreme Power XPC-12000 Carpet Cleaner. In addition to carpets, optional attachments for carpet cleaners allow the machines to be used for other soft surfaces, such as upholstery, wall partitions, and curtains.
Key Components of a Carpet Cleaner
This component generates the pressure that injects the water into the carpet. Pump pressure levels generally range from 60 pounds per square inch (psi) to 500 psi.
The vacuum in the carpet cleaner extracts dirty water and cleaning solution from the carpet and empties it into an extraction tank. Vacuums are driven by motors that come in a variety of configurations, including: single 2-stage motors, two 3-stage motors, and three 2-stage motors. For optimum performance, choose a motor with at least two stages.
The power of a vacuum motor is commonly measured in airflow (cubic feet per minute, or CFM) and water lift (inches). Airflow refers to the movement of air through the machine and typically ranges from 100 to more than 200 CFM. Water lift measures the suction strength of the vacuum and typically ranges from 100 to more than 250 inches.
Solution Tanks:
These tanks hold the rinse water. Typically, solution tanks range in size from 4.5 gallons to 17 gallons.
Recovery Tanks:
These tanks hold extracted dirt, cleaning chemicals, and water. Typically, recovery tanks range in size from 4.5 gallons to 15 gallons.
Heating Unit:
This component heats the rinse water to temperatures as high as 210ºF in as little as three minutes. Heating elements can range from single tank-heating models, which heat water in the solution tank, to double inline heating elements, which heat water as it exits the machine.
Carpet cleaners usually come with a large floor wand. The wand can range in width from 10 inches to 12 inches and include one or two jets for dispensing and extracting fluids. Upholstery and stair wands are available as options. Vacuum and cleaning solution hoses come in a variety of lengths and can be ordered in custom lengths.
Tips for Using a Carpet Cleaner
 - Before using the carpet cleaner, vacuum the carpet thoroughly and then apply a cleaning solution, like Daimer's Eco-Green® Carpet Care. The chemicals help dissolve grease and oils so that the final cleaning extracts even more dirt.
 - Use heated water on stained and heavily soiled synthetics. When used with a cleaning chemical, a heated carpet cleaner can remove stains such as ketchup, coffee, wine, pet urine, and ink.
 - Do not use heated water on natural fibers, like wool, which can shrink or suffer other kinds of damage at high temperatures.

8 Bizarre Chinese to English Translation
Over the years, there are heaps of jokes spreading online regarding some weird Chinese to English translation found in China. Many of them are the result of a literal interpretation, character by character.
Recently, Mella Robinson and Mellissa Stanger from businessinsider.com.au listed "18 Chinese expressions with bizarre literal translations". They believe those peculiar expressions are derived from the fact that the Chinese "characters that make up each word or phrase individually carry different meanings based on the context in which they're used", thus "when translated character by character into English", they could sound bizarre, poetic and, sometimes, hilarious.
Now let's look at the Chinese origins of some of the bizarre or poetic expressions that the article mentioned.
A cheer = add fuel (加油):
Meaning of the expression: It urges someone to exert more energy into his/her performance.
So-so = horse horse tiger tiger (马马虎虎):
Origin of the expression: It first appeared in a classic short story about an ancient artist who added a horse's body behind a tiger's head that eventually cost the life of his son as the young man later identified a tiger as a horse when hunting in the wilderness. Unprofessionalism sometimes could have a deadly consequence.
United States = Beautiful Country (美国):
In the earlier years, when Chinese translated a foreign name, they often tried to pick characters that not only have a similar pronunciation but contain positive connotations, just like when they name babies. So for a Chinese character shown in a translated phrase, it contains very little or no original meaning. Character 美 has been made part of the translated Chinese name of the US only because its pronunciation is close to Me in America. In fact, the UK's Chinese name (英国) can also be read as Heroic Country, France (法国) as Lawful Country and Germany (德国) as Ethical Country, but which does not mean Chinese think the UK is a country full of heroes, France respects law better than any other nations or Germany indeed stands on a moral high ground.
Being cheated on = wear a green head cloth (戴绿头巾):
The expression emerged since the Yuan Dynasty 700 years ago. When the Mongols occupied and ruled China, they got upset over the practice of Chinese brothels because they charged men for sex. In the old Mongol tradition it was perfectly okay for a man to sleep with any woman he wanted for free, thus brothel's existence was seen as a defiance against Mongol custom, so they ordered Chinese men running brothels to identify themselves by wearing a green coloured head cloth as the way to publicly shame them. Since then green head cloth has been used in China to indicate a man with an unfaithful wife.
Sexual harassment = eat tofu (吃豆腐):
Possible origin of the expression: Chinese tofu stores were traditionally run by husband and wife, with the man making tofu in the back of the house (a hard manual labour) and wife selling tofu at shopfront. Tofu is known to contain wonderful skincare benefits, as the women selling tofu consumed the product daily, their skin often looked tender and white, just like tofu, thus the jealous wives of the men who were keen to pay a visit to tofu store would confront the husband by questioning: are we going to eat tofu again today? Meaning: are you going to harass the tofu store lady again?
Computer = electric brain (电脑):
Computer literally means a device for computing, which is what it initially did. In Chinese there is a word just for computing tool: 计算器, meaning a device for calculation. As for computer, since it does more than calculation but acts as extended human brain, therefore it is called electric brain.
Trite language = wind flower snow moon (风花雪月):
Origin of the expression: Wind, flower, snow and moon in China are traditionally associated with four seasons (wind in summer, flowers in spring, snow in winter and moon in autumn). In the classic ages, the ability to composing poem was seen as a basic literature capability of a scholar. For some who lacked talent in creative writing, these four elements would become a constant theme in their verses.
A threat or warning = show you some colour (给你点颜色看看):
Possible origin: When one is bashed and bleeding, the black eye and red blood could become visible.

Method of Determining Proppant Quality
Publication Date: 2014-Oct-27
The IP.com Prior Art Database
Selecting a correct frac sand or proppant to be used in a conventional hydraulic fracturing treatment is vitally important. A thorough evaluation of the proppant is required to ensure the selected proppant is correct and proper for the treatment. Among various evaluation methods, crushing of proppant is an important method. The crushing of proppant and the amounts of generated fines determines the stress closure the proppant can sustain. Taking the advantage and availability of acoustic emission (AE) technology, a method of using AE signals generated during crushing of proppant to evaluate the quality of sand or proppant is presented. A combination of proppant crushing and analysis of AE helps classify the proppant quality. This test method can be simplified to be readily available and applied by personnel in field locations.

Currently voted the best answer.
I'm pondering the concept of Newton's inverse-square law of universal gravitation...
(At an altitude of 200 miles, according to Newton's inverse-square law of universal gravitation, gravity is just 10% weaker than it is at the Earth's surface. "Weightlessness" and "zero gravity" describe an astronaut's sensation in orbit, but the conditions under which an astronaut floats about within a spacecraft would be better described as free fall.)

ALEKS Math Placement Test
What is ALEKS Math Assessment?
ALEKS is a powerful artificial intelligence (AI)-based assessment software product the zeros in on the student's mathematical strengths and weaknesses, reports its findings, and then if necessary provides a learning module to improve the student's knowledge and skill. ALEKS will ask between 25 and 35 questions, none of which are multiple choice. Before beginning the assessment, students will complete an online tutorial so they know how to enter answers in ALEKS. The tutorial and placement may take up to 90 minutes to complete.
If students take the test remotely, they are expected to take the ALEKS placement assessment without assistance from another person or resource. Results from ALEKS will lead to placement in a mathematics course. If students complete the assessment using assistance, there is a strong chance that they will perform poorly in their mathematics course and have to pay tuition fees to retake it.


text: Happiness equations for Malawi are estimated using a new household survey. It is apparent that absolute consumption level is strongly associated with satisfaction. Both objective and subjective relative consumption in the neighbourhood is positively associated with satisfaction. Male satisfaction is associated strongly with relative consumption but female satisfaction is not. Separated or widowed females are less happy than males indicating a vulnerability that acts as a disincentive to leave husbands during marital problems. Polygamous females in traditional religions are less satisfied than other females whilst there is some evidence that male Muslims in polygamous relationships are more satisfied.

Technology Review The I.DOT Liquid Handler is a bench-top system that uses a unique droplet-based technology
Advancing Mass Spectrometry with Immediate Drop on Demand Technology (I.DOT)
Immediate Drop on Demand Technology (I.DOT) and Open-Port Sampling Interface (OPSI) are two innovative technologies that revolutionize mass spectrometry, offering high-throughput, precise, and non-contact sample handling for real-time analysis of challenging samples.
Mass spectrometry is a robust analytical tool in an assortment of scientific domains, including chemistry, biology, environmental science, and medicine. It has seen considerable improvements in sensitivity, resolution, and throughput throughout time. Over the years, advancements in mass spectrometry have significantly improved its sensitivity, resolution, and throughput. One such groundbreaking innovation is Immediate Drop on Demand Technology (I.DOT), a cutting-edge liquid handling system that has revolutionized sample preparation and data acquisition in Open-Port Sampling Interface (OPSI) mass spectrometry.
A synergy: I.DOT and OPSI
Immediate Drop on Demand Technology (I.DOT) is a liquid handling system that enables precise, non-contact dispensing of nanoliter to microliter volumes of liquids. These systems excel in delivering small liquid droplets with high precision, reducing sample consumption, and minimizing cross-contamination risks. I.DOT allows for highly accurate and reproducible delivery of samples, reagents, and standards directly onto the mass spectrometry target, eliminating the need for manual pipetting and reducing sample consumption.
The Open-Port Sampling Interface (OPSI) is a revolutionary sample introduction approach that allows for direct, real-time sample analysis without any prior separation or extraction. OPSI employs an open atmospheric pressure intake through which samples are continually introduced, allowing for direct analysis of challenging mixtures.
This dynamic duo has the potential to transform analytical capabilities by allowing fast and precise sample insertion and analysis.
The I.DOT allows researchers to automate sample preparation, process large sample sets quickly, and increase data consistency in mass spectrometry techniques. For example:
Boosting the efficacy of Mass Spectrometry sample preparation
Sample preparation is a key step in mass spectrometry that can have a substantial impact on the quality and consistency of the results. I.DOT automates the accurate transfer of samples and reagents onto the mass spectrometry target, hence expediting the sample preparation workflow (Berkel et al, 2017 Furtwängler et al., 2022). It's non-contact dispensing reduces the possibility of cross-contamination, resulting in accurate and reproducible findings even with small sample amounts. Furthermore, I.DOT's high-throughput capabilities allow researchers to handle large numbers of samples quickly, hence accelerating up data acquisition and analysis.
Improving Quantitative Analysis
In quantitative mass spectrometry analysis, internal standards and calibration curves are frequently used. The accurate dispensing capabilities of I.DOT allow for the exact delivery of standard solutions, guaranteeing the creation of valid calibration curves. Moreover, I.DOT improves the accuracy and precision of quantitative mass spectrometry analysis by minimizing variability in sample preparation, making it particularly useful in the fields of Pharmacokinetics, Metabolomics and Lipidomics, Environmental and Forensic Applications.
Performing Sustainable Experiments
Conventional liquid handling techniques frequently call for substantial sample volumes, leading to higher consumption and the waste production. I.DOT's non-contact dispensing reduces sample utilization, which is especially beneficial for valuable or scarce samples. Researchers may save samples while acquiring high-quality mass spectrometry data by delivering precise nanoliter droplets, making I.DOT an environmentally friendly alternative.
State of the Art
Screening enzyme libraries for modifying enzymes and identifying key domains required for improved activity is tedious and time consuming. Enzymatic biodegradation of polymers, such as polyamides (PA), has the potential to cost-effectively reduce plastic waste, but enhancements in degradation efficiency are needed. Recently, the combination of immediate drop on demand technology (I.DOT) liquid handling systems coupled with open port sampling interface-mass spectrometry (OPSI-MS) was employed for a high-throughput screening of PA6 and PA66 hydrolysis by 6-aminohexanoate-oligomer endohydrolase (nylon hydrolase, NylC). This _URL_ approach needed just less than 1 µL sample solution, a single sample was analyzed in as little as eight seconds and was suitable to 96-well plate layouts for automated processing (Fig. 1). This new methodology shall be used to evaluate the enzymatic hydrolysis of synthetic enzyme libraries, which will consist of thousands of individual samples.
Figure 1. The diagram represents the demonstration of _URL_ technique used to screen enzyme library. The bottom traces show ion chromatograms, with distinct colors indicating different samples.
The integration of Immediate Drop on Demand Technology (I.DOT) liquid handling devices and Open-Port Sampling Interface (OPSI) mass spectrometry has established an entirely novel analytical paradigm. Researchers can now enjoy fast, precise, and non-contact sample handling while conducting real-time analysis of challenging samples. This remarkable synergy opens new opportunities in a variety of scientific disciplines, ranging from metabolomics and pharmaceutical research to environmental monitoring and forensics. As technology advances, the combination of I.DOT liquid handling with OPSI-mass spectrometry has the potential to promote breakthrough research and discoveries in the next years.

Nclex Full Form
Nclex Full Form I have created try this website new example to show that I don't need the full form to be implemented. This example shows the steps I need to follow and the steps I can follow in my application. 1. Make sure to add the following to your HTML Nclex Full Form A full-form example of a page with an expression, or any expression, is part of a page. It is used in building and editing pages. For example, in the following example, you would use the expression as follows: { "form": { "key": { // … // ", — Ө } } } The expression is used to get the value of an expression or other expression that has a key and value. For example: // Get the value of a 'name' expression var name = [ { "key":"name", "value":"a", }, { "key":"value", "name":"b", } ]; If you are looking for a 'name', you must be looking for the value of the expression. For example if the expression looks like this: var name='abc' Now, you can apply the expression to the empty block of code. For example this code: function get_a(name) { let a = String(name); if (!a) return ""; if (a) return a; } function getA() { return new Function('a'); } // Get a value of a expression function get(name) {} You can then apply the expression as a function. For example the above code: function get() { var a = "a"; But in this case, the expression is used instead of the expression: get(name) // get the value function getType() { return "val"; } get(type) If someone has the same question, please tell me! A: Use the expression as you would a function for a function. For example: var f = function() {}; var e = f(0); e(e(1)); You could then use the expression to get the result of the function (which would be the value of f(1)). However, you would need to work with a function for this implementation. A function may be defined as a function function f(x) { var x = x.val; return x; } function x(x) {} function f2(x) { return x(3) + x(2) + x(); } f(1) A return value for a function that is a function is a function, and returns a value. For this example, the expression should be as follows: get_a( &/%/%/ function get method { //… } ); The function should be as following: get …
R N
( x = get_a ) ; Note that the function should not return false to return a value. The function should return true to return the value of x.

What is the stitch length regulator on a sewing machine?
A stitch regulator is a tiny computer attached to a sewing machine that constantly adjusts the machine's stitch speed to accommodate the speed of the fabric during free-motion stitching. This ensures balanced, equal-length stitches.
What sewing machines have a stitch regulator?
Bernina is the only home sewing machine brand with stitch regulated technology built-in. I used the Bernina Stitch Regulator to quilt all my Stitching Cosmos quilts!
How do you fix the stitch length on a sewing machine?
Adjusting the stitch length (For models equipped with the stitch length dial)
 1. Raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) so that the mark on the wheel points up.
 2. Turn the stitch length dial to adjust the stitch length that you want to sew.

10.2.2 Java Semantic Values
There is no %union directive in Java parsers. Instead, the semantic values' types (class names) should be specified in the %type or %token directive:
 %type <Expression> expr assignment_expr term factor
 %type <Integer> number
By default, the semantic stack is declared to have Object members, which means that the class types you specify can be of any class. To improve the type safety of the parser, you can declare the common superclass of all the semantic values using the %define stype directive. For example, after the following declaration:
 %define stype "ASTNode"
any %type or %token specifying a semantic type which is not a subclass of ASTNode, will cause a compile-time error.
Types used in the directives may be qualified with a package name. Primitive data types are accepted for Java version 1.5 or later. Note that in this case the autoboxing feature of Java 1.5 will be used. Generic types may not be used; this is due to a limitation in the implementation of Bison, and may change in future releases.
Java parsers do not support %destructor, since the language adopts garbage collection. The parser will try to hold references to semantic values for as little time as needed.
Java parsers do not support %printer, as toString() can be used to print the semantic values. This however may change (in a backwards-compatible way) in future versions of Bison.

Thermotreated wood. Thermotreatment
Thermotreated wood is manufactured under controlled heating conditions at temperatures of 170…230 degrees C. The degree of heat depends on what type of wood is being processed and what type of characteristics are desired. The process involves no chemicals or addatives. Since the only outside agent used is moisture, we can proudly claim this to be natural product. During the thermotreatment process, the cellular structure changes. The hemicellulose starts to break down and pitch in coniferous woods evaporate.
During the thermo treatment, the following changes occur:
 1. Colour changes from light to dark brown
 2. Deformation due to moisture variations decreases by 50-90%
 3. Equilibrium moisture content lowers
 4. Thermal conductivity decreases by 0-30%
 5. Overall heat-transfer coefficient k improves
 6. Bending strength decreases by 0-30%
 7. Elasticity decreases, but rigidity increases
 8. Wear resistance improves
 9. Wood becomes lighter in weight
 10. Biological durability improves
 11. Pitch evaporates
 12. Dead knots fall out
 13. Cellular structure changeswood „ages" structurally
As it appears from above, thermotreatment offers a quite good opportunity e.g. for the carpentry industry to produce environment-friendly wood products of a new kind of structure.

If you go back into the history of the NY style, you will see that the basic NY style pizza was made using flour, water, fresh yeast and salt. The flour originally was all-purpose flour but over time pizza operators used bread flour and high-gluten flour as they became available and popular for that style. The bread flour and high-gluten flour were commonly bleached and bromated. Sometimes they were just called "pizza flour". There was no sugar or oil used in the dough, and the dough was mixed by hand (before Mr. Hobart invented the commercial mixer) and fermented at room temperature (commercial refrigeration had not yet been invented). Dry yeast products such as ADY and IDY had not yet been invented (IDY was invented just after World War II and IDY was invented in the 1970s), so the yeast used was fresh yeast. The pizzas were typically baked in high-temperature coal fired ovens. When deck ovens were invented and became commercially available, oil and sugar started to be added to the dough. When refrigeration became commercially viable for cold fermenting dough, it allowed pizza operators to make dough and be able to use it for more than one day. The end product pizzas were typically quite large, with 18" being typical. In some cases, they were even larger than 18".
Today, if you were to investigate what NY style pizza operators are doing, you would find that all of the above measures are being used by someone somewhere. However, over time, there has been a movement toward the use of high-gluten flours and the regular use of oil in the dough. The flour is most likely to be bleached and bromated. Sugar might also be added to the dough, especially if the dough is to be cold fermented for more than a few days. And dry yeast products are regularly used. Most of the NY style pizzas today are likely to be baked in deck ovens, although there are still coal-fired ovens being used to make the earlier NY style pizza, often called the "elite" style to differentiate those pizzas from the "NY street" style. The elite style pizzas come in the larger sizes although the NY street style pizzas can come in a wide range of sizes, including 12", 14", 16" and 18", with the most common size still being the 18" size. There is also a wide range of toppings for the NY street style and bake times also tend to be on the high side, much longer than would be used to make the Neapolitan style, which are typically baked in very high temperature wood-fired ovens with bake times of under about 2 minutes and often under a minute. Also, the Neapolitan style pizzas rarely get above 10"-12" in size. And, as John noted, the flour used for that style is usually an unbromated, unbleached, unmalted flour such as the 00 flour, there is no sugar or oil used in the dough, and the pizzas are sparsely topped. The sauce is typically made from Italian San Marzano tomatoes and the cheese can be fresh mozzarella cheese of buffalo mozzarella cheese. The NY style pizzas typically use canned domestic tomato products and processed mozzarella cheeses.

Understanding universal health care, Part 4: Cost-Sharing for Patients in the Netherlands
There's a wealth of economic evidence demonstrating that cost-sharing requirements for medical care, alongside protections for the vulnerable, can temper demand for outpatient care without resulting in adverse consequences.
A recent study documents how Canada stands among a small minority of only six universal health-care countries (out of 28) that have not acted on this evidence and, generally, do not expect patients to share the cost of care. This blog post is part of a series of posts that documents how eight high-performing universal health-care systems utilize cost-sharing mechanisms (deductibles, coinsurance payments and copayments) while protecting vulnerable patient populations. While previous posts in this series have outlined how Australia, Belgium and France accomplish this, this post will focus on the Netherlands.
The Netherlands ensures universal coverage through a compulsory social health insurance scheme. Residents must purchase a standard insurance package from one of several private insurers, in a regulated but competitive market. Coverage definitions for the basic insurance package are broad, but must include core services provided by general practitioners, specialists and hospitals. The purchase of voluntary insurance is also common (83.9 per cent in 2021) in the Netherlands, which often covers costs of dental care, physiotherapy, glasses and co-payments for medications that exceed the reimbursement rate.
The universal system is primarily financed through income dependent contributions (50 per cent) and "community rated" premiums (50 per cent). While premiums can vary between insurance companies, each insurer must determine a flat premium for adults that applies uniformly across the country regardless of individual health status or other factors. And insurers must accept all applicants for coverage.
Deductibles are the major form of cost-sharing for core services. In 2020, Dutch residents were expected to pay an annual deductible of €385 (C$589.37) for most types of care including access to specialist consultations and hospital care. Patients may also choose higher deductibles (up to €500 or C$765.40) in exchange for discounts on their monthly premiums. Patients are covered for all the cost of care once this deductible is met. Pharmaceuticals are also covered by the basic insurance plan in the Netherlands, but are also subject to the same deductible cost-sharing requirements. However, patients may have to pay an additional "personal contribution" for medications that exceed the maximum reimbursement amount (for which there's an annual €250 or C$382.7 cap).
Dutch patients may also choose to expose themselves to other forms of cost-sharing depending on their choice of policy. "In-kind" policies allow patients to see contracted providers and receive no bill, with care from non-contracted providers being partially reimbursed (with patients responsible for the balance). In contrast, "restitution policies" allow for free choice of provider in exchange for paying for the bill out-of-pocket and receiving reimbursement afterwards.
Safety nets in the Netherlands include deductible exemptions for general practitioner visits, dental care for those < 18 years of age, obstetric/maternity care, and care for specific chronic illnesses.
The Dutch government also provides financial assistance as another form of protection. Low-income Dutch patients (individuals and families) may qualify for an "allowance" for their health-care premiums, based on the income of the individual and their "allowance partner" alongside the average premium price and compulsory deductible. In 2020, the income threshold to receive the smallest allowance was below €30,500 (C$46,690) or €39,000 (C$59,702) with a partner. In addition to this premium allowance, patients who've incurred "structural care expenses over time" due to chronic illness or disability are also able to receive financial compensation.
This fourth contribution to this blog series has provided a general overview of the Dutch health-care system, its cost-sharing arrangements and related protections. The next post in this series will examine the same topics for the universal system in New Zealand.

MTU Onsite Energy case study: Hutterite Colony depends on standby power for high-tech operations
When utility power fails, the new MTU Onsite Energy generator ensures continuous power for all of the colony's agricultural and woodworking equipment.
Winnipeg, Canada – The Springfield Colony, one of 105 rural Hutterite communities located throughout Manitoba, is home to 113 men, women and children as well as the agricultural and manufacturing activities that support the community. The colony farms more than 6,000 acres, manages a 600-sow hog operation, keeps 8,500 laying hens and raises more than 20,000 broilers every eight weeks. In addition, Springfield Colony is noted for high-quality woodworking—cabinets, countertops, doors and office furniture—that it sells to customers in Manitoba and northern Ontario. All of these activities are critical to the colony and require dependable standby electric power generation in the event of utility power failures.
When Springfield Colony's electrical loads outgrew its old standby generator, the colony turned to a higher-capacity unit from Katolight by MTU Onsite Energy. Besides meeting all of the colony's current power needs during an outage, the new generator set and accompanying control equipment have helped make seamless transitions from utility power to standby generator power.
Why standby power is important
Far from a luxury, standby power provides a critical lifeline for manufacturing and livestock production as well as the day-to-day livelihood of the colony members. The potential for loss of life and productivity is high, particularly in the hog barn where electricity keeps the ventilation fans running. Without electric power, "hogs would start suffocating within half an hour," says James Kleinsasser, the colony's electrician. "We could lose millions of dollars in just one hour."
Standby power is also critical for the colony's high-tech manufacturing operation (the colony's main power user), which includes computerized equipment such as electric saws, milling machines and a paint booth. Other agricultural processes that depend on electricity include the feed mill and the grain-handling system.
Normally, electricity is provided by the local utility. There are times, though, when utility power isn't available. The colony experiences frequent power outages and once lost power for 17 hours, reports Kleinsasser. For a long time, the colony relied on a 400 kW standby generator to keep the manufacturing and agricultural equipment running. But as the colony's manufacturing operation grew, the old generator was no longer able to supply all of the colony's electrical loads when the utility failed.
The standby power shortage was magnified when the colony changed its dairy operation into a cabinet manufacturing facility. Without enough power to go around during utility outages, "we had to limit the load," Kleinsasser recalls. At such times, for example, no power would be available for grinding feed for the barns.
New generator upgrades standby system
Rather than live with this situation, the colony eventually decided to replace the old generator with a higher-output unit. After considering a number of possible replacements, Kleinsasser selected a Series 2000 generator from MTU Onsite Energy. Powered by a 12-cylinder MTU diesel engine, the Series 2000 generator has a rated capacity of 750 kW, which is more than enough to keep electricity flowing to all of the colony's equipment and homes during a utility power outage.
To facilitate the operation of the genset, the colony also purchased MTU Onsite Energy's digital genset controller. Reliable, cost effective and easy to use, this unit features advanced microprocessor technology that controls both the generator and the transfer switch.
The generator set and controller were supplied by Manitoba-based PalmLite, the local MTU Onsite Energy distributor that provides equipment and services for agricultural, industrial and residential applications. PalmLite also helped with the generator startup and worked with the factory's engineers on programming the controller.

Capri Leone (Sicilian: Capri Liuni) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Messina in the Italian region Sicily, located about 120 kilometres (75 mi) east of Palermo and about 70 kilometres (43 mi) west of Messina. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 4,240 and an area of 6.6 square kilometres (2.5 sq mi).[1]
The town was originally called just "Capri". The "Leone" was added only in 1862 after the formation of the Italian federation so as to distinguish it from other Italian Capris. It was apparently founded only in the medieval times and it is known in 1320 to have been in the fiefdom of Count Vitale de Aloysio. It subsequently passed through the hands of several Baronial families, including those of the Lancellotto di Larcan, the Filangeri di Mirto, the Balsamo, the Branciforte, and the Cordona. In 1620, it again passed into the hands of the Filangeri di Mirto family. It apparently remained in their possession until the reforms of the early 19th century.
Capri Leone sits in the foothills of the Nebroli mountains and is about 2000 kilometers above the coastal plain. It's coastal outpost, Rocca di Capri Leone ("Rocca" means fortress in Italian), was originally established to guard the approaches to the town. It is separated from Capri Leone by several kilometers, but is administered as an integral part of the municipality. Rocca di Capri Leone has come to have the majority of the population of the combined municipality.
Capri Leone borders the following municipalities: Capo d'Orlando, Frazzanò, Mirto, San Marco d'Alunzio, Torrenova.

text: Factor affecting acid hydrolysis of blood protein were studied by varying the 4 M. HCl at 3,4 and 5% by weight ; the reaction time at 2, 4 and 6 hours ; and the temperature at 30 ๐C and 40๐C. The degree of hydrolysis (DH) and water stability of giant tiger prawn feed produced by using 2.5% of the resulting hydrolysate as binder , were used as indicator to select the most appropriate condition. The highest DH of 90.18 % and the water stability of 87.84% were obtained in sample produced with 5% HCl, at 30 ๐C, for 6 hours. The study of enzyme hydrolysis of blood protein was carried out by varying the quantity of alcalase (0.06 unit/g) at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 % by volume and the reaction time at 5,10,15 and 20 minutes. By using the same criteria as the acid hydrolysis, it was found that the highest DH of 96.08% and the water stability of 86.75 % were obtained when using 1.5 % alcalase and hydrolysing at 50๐C for 20 minutes. Drying of the hydrolysate was carried out by the air and vaccum oven methods. For both methods, the temperature was varied at 60๐C, 70๐C and 80๐C. The products were dried to 10% and 20 % final moisture contents. The best condition found for both methods was 80๐C drying to the 10% moisture content. The water stability of feeds produced by using air-oven-dried blood, acid hydrolysate and enzyme hydrolysate were 84.02 % , 84.84 % and 85.52 % while those dried by vacuum oven were 83.98 % , 85.72% and 87.42 %, respectively. The binding property of the enzyme hydrolysates from both drying methods were better than those of the acid hydrolysates. Results from storage test showed that at 30๐C,vacuum, the Eval film kept the product moisture to lower than 12 %, for 4 months while that of HPDE was limited to 2-3 months.


The Structure
The Hothouse itself is an inspiring, purpose-built creative space on Salamanca Lawns, designed by Sydney's Cave Urban and University of Tasmania Masters of Architecture students.
The design of the Hothouse is intended to bring a conversation about education in Tasmania into the public and community sphere.
By placing the structure on Salamanca Lawns, education is brought out of private, personal and professional contexts and into a shared space.
The permeable structure encourages participation through its open entrances, the woven bamboo walls and roof allow the outside world and context to permeate the conversations and thinking within the house and smaller pod spaces.
Rather than a space to simply house people, the Hothouse helps facilitate and cultivate a context of openness, collaboration and community. A space in which subject experts, community members, young people and influencers can openly discuss and debate education.

 debug(NUMBER)
 Turns debugging on or off. Statements are printed to the currently
 selected file handle (STDOUT by default). If you are already using
 this handle, you will have to arrange to select an output handle to a
 file of your own choosing, before call the "add", "as_string" or "re")
 functions, otherwise it will scribble all over your carefully formatted
 output.
 o Off. Turns off all debugging output.
 o 1
 Add. Trace the addition of patterns.
 o 2
 Reduce. Trace the process of reduction and assembly.
 o 4
 Lex. Trace the lexing of the input patterns into its constituent
 tokens.
 o 8
 Time. Print to STDOUT the time taken to load all the patterns. This
 is nothing more than the difference between the time the object was
 instantiated and the time reduction was initiated.
 # load=<num>
 Any lengthy computation performed in the client code will be
 reflected in this value. Another line will be printed after
 reduction is complete.
 # reduce=<num>
 The above output lines will be changed to "load-epoch" and
 "reduce-epoch" if the internal state of the object is corrupted and
 the initial timestamp is lost.
 The code attempts to load Time::HiRes in order to report fractional
 seconds. If this is not successful, the elapsed time is displayed
 in whole seconds.
 Values can be added (or or'ed together) to trace everything
 $r->debug(7)->add( '\\d+abc' );
 Calling "debug" with no arguments turns debugging off.
 dump()
 Produces a synthetic view of the internal data structure. How to
 interpret the results is left as an exercise to the reader.
 print $r->dump;
 chomp(0|1)
 Turns chomping on or off.
 IMPORTANT: As of version 0.24, chomping is now on by default as it
 makes "add_file" Just Work. The only time you may run into trouble is
 with "add("\\$/")". So don't do that, or else explicitly turn off
 chomping.
 To avoid incorporating (spurious) record separators (such as "\n" on
 Unix) when reading from a file, "add()" "chomp"s its input. If you
 don't want this to happen, call "chomp" with a false value.
 $re->chomp(0); # really want the record separators
 $re->add(<DATA>);
 fold_meta_pairs(NUMBER)
 Determines whether "\s", "\S" and "\w", "\W" and "\d", "\D" are folded
 into a "." (dot). Folding happens by default (for reasons of backwards
 compatibility, even though it is wrong when the "/s" expression
 modifier is active).
 Call this method with a false value to prevent this behaviour (which is
 only a problem when dealing with "\n" if the "/s" expression modifier
 is also set).
 $re->add( '\\w', '\\W' );
 my $clone = $re->clone;
 $clone->fold_meta_pairs(0);
 print $clone->as_string; # prints '.'
 print $re->as_string; # print '[\W\w]'
 indent(NUMBER)
 Sets the level of indent for pretty-printing nested groups within a
 pattern. See the "as_string" method for more details. When called
 without a parameter, no indenting is performed.
 $re->indent( 4 );
 print $re->as_string;
 lookahead(0|1)
 Turns on zero-width lookahead assertions. This is usually beneficial
 when you expect that the pattern will usually fail. If you expect that
 the pattern will usually match you will probably be worse off.
 flags(STRING)
 Sets the flags that govern how the pattern behaves (for versions of
 Perl up to 5.9 or so, these are "imsx"). By default no flags are
 enabled.
 modifiers(STRING)
 An alias of the "flags" method, for users familiar with "Regexp::List".
 track(0|1)
 Turns tracking on or off. When this attribute is enabled, additional
 housekeeping information is inserted into the assembled expression
 using "({...}" embedded code constructs. This provides the necessary
 information to determine which, of the original patterns added, was the
 one that caused the match.
 $re->track( 1 );
 if( $target =~ /$re/ ) {
 print "$target matched by ", $re->matched, "\n";
 }
 Note that when this functionality is enabled, no reduction is performed
 and no character classes are generated. In other words, "brag|tag" is
 not reduced down to "(?:br|t)ag" and "dig|dim" is not reduced to
 "di[gm]".
 unroll_plus(0|1)
 Turns the unrolling of plus metacharacters on or off. When a pattern is
 broken up, "a+" becomes "a", "a*" (and "b+?" becomes "b", "b*?". This
 may allow the freed "a" to assemble with other patterns. Not enabled by
 default.
 lex(SCALAR)
 Change the pattern used to break a string apart into tokens. You can
 examine the "eg/naive" script as a starting point.
 reduce(0|1)
 Turns pattern reduction on or off. A reduced pattern may be
 considerably shorter than an unreduced pattern. Consider

Spending quality time with your child is important for many reasons. Whether a newborn or a preschooler, your child wants to spend time with you – he needs you.
You already know your child wants to spend time with you – and you with her. But with today's hectic schedules and busy lives, how much time is considered enough?
Although there is no magic number of minutes you should spend with your child each day, it is important to know that it's not the quantity of time together but rather the quality of time together. Spending 15 minutes reading a book with your baby snuggled in your lap, asking questions, and acting out the characters is better than being in the same room with your baby for an hour while your baby plays and you smile at her every so often. So, if you worry that you're not spending enough time with your child, remember to make the moments you do have together count by being present and engaged with your little one.
By engaging in conversation on the way to preschool or singing a song before bed, you're already having wonderful moments with your child. Keep it up – and know that those quality moments add up to a lot.
Parent Tip: When you are with your child, put your phone and other electronic devices away – not just down, but out of sight. This will enable you to be more present with your child.


Association Between Respiratory Alkalosis and the Prognosis of COVID-19 Patients
Front Med (Lausanne). 2021 Apr 26:8:564635. doi: 10.3389/fmed.2021.564635. eCollection 2021.
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with or without respiratory alkalosis, and analyze the relationship of respiratory alkalosis and the outcome of adult coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Methods: Clinical and laboratory data of adult COVID-19 patients in a single center in China, were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve and cox regression were adopted to analyze the association between respiratory alkalosis and prognosis of COVID-19 patients. Results: Of 230 adult COVID-19 patients, 66 patients (28.7%) had respiratory alkalosis on admission. Of 66 patients, the median age was 53 years old (range, 21-84 years), and 43 (65.2%) were female. Compared with those without respiratory alkalosis, patients with respiratory alkalosis were significantly older (P = 0.002), had a higher proportion of female (P = 0.004), and showed higher ratios of underlying diseases including hypertension (P = 0.023) and cardiovascular disease (P = 0.028). Moreover, they demonstrated higher proportion of severe events (P = 0.001). Patients with respiratory alkalosis had a higher possibility of developing severe events compared with those without respiratory alkalosis (Log Rank P = 0.001). After adjusting for gender, age, and comorbidities, patients with respiratory alkalosis still showed significantly elevated risks of developing to severe cases (HR 2.445, 95% CI 1.307-4.571, P = 0.005) using cox regression analyses. Conclusions: Respiratory alkalosis as a common acid-base disorder in COVID-19 patients, was associated with a higher risk of developing severe event.
Keywords: COVID-19; acid-base disorder; biomarker; respiratory alkalosis; severity.

Affliction: Health, Disease, Poverty
Veena Das
This book inaugurates a novel way of understanding the trajectories of health and disease in the context of poverty. Focusing on low-income neighborhoods in Delhi, it stitches together three different sets of issues. First, it examines the different trajectories of illness: What are the circumstances under which illness is absorbed within the normal and when does it exceed the normal.
