On the acoustic response of a generic gas turbine fuel injector passage
2019-01-31T14:39:51Z (GMT) by
A current trend in the design of modern aero engines is the transition towards leaner combustion as a solution to satisfy increasingly stringent emission regulations. Lean combustion systems are often more susceptible to thermoacoustic instability and the fuel injector can play a critical role. This paper presents an analytical study on the unsteady air flow through a generic injector passage in response to incident acoustic waves. The injector passage is represented by a simplified geometry which comprises the main geometrical passage features. The unsteady flow through the passage is obtained by combining the elemental solutions for different parts of the passage. This enables the transfer impedance of the injector passage to be determined and the effects of different design parameters on the sensitivity of the air flow to acoustic perturbations to be examined. The convective wave associated with the unsteady swirl vane wakes is also visited and compared with the results from the numerical simulations obtained in previous works. In addition to helping derive design practices for injector passages from the perspective of thermoacoustic instability, the current analysis can also be applied as a preliminary design tool to assess the acoustic characteristics for an injector passage of the axial swirler type.

Tapioca Starch
Excipient (pharmacologically inactive substance)
What is Tapioca Starch?
Starches are typically derived from corn or potato. Starches are used in the pharmaceutical industry for a wide variety of reasons, such as an excipient, a tablet and capsule diluent, a tablet and capsule disintegrant, a glidant, or as binder. Disintegrants enable tablets and capsules to break down into smaller fragments (dissolve) so that the drug can be released for absorption.[1] Starches also absorb water rapidly, allowing tablets to disintegrate appropriately. Starches are also used in the food manufacturing industry for processing, and as food thickeners or stabilizers. There are many other diverse uses for starches in the manufacturing industry. Pregelatinized starch derives primarily from corn, has been cooked and then dried. Instant puddings, pie fillings, soup mixes, salad dressings, candy often contain pregelatinized starch.[2] Tapioca is a root starch derived from the yucca plant. Pregelatinized starches (dried, cooked starches) are highly digestible. Consumption of excessive quantities of raw starch has resulted in obesity and iron-deficiency anemia in human subjects. However, there is no evidence to suspect a hazard to the public when they are used at levels that are now current or that might reasonably be expected in the future.[3]

lwIP 2.0.2
Lightweight IP stack
Core locking and MPU
Macros
#define LWIP_MPU_COMPATIBLE 0

#define LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING 1

#define LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING_INPUT 0

#define SYS_LIGHTWEIGHT_PROT 1

Detailed Description
Macro Definition Documentation
◆ LWIP_MPU_COMPATIBLE
#define LWIP_MPU_COMPATIBLE 0
LWIP_MPU_COMPATIBLE: enables special memory management mechanism which makes lwip able to work on MPU (Memory Protection Unit) system by not passing stack-pointers to other threads (this decreases performance as memory is allocated from pools instead of keeping it on the stack)
◆ LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING
#define LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING 1
LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING Creates a global mutex that is held during TCPIP thread operations. Can be locked by client code to perform lwIP operations without changing into TCPIP thread using callbacks. See LOCK_TCPIP_CORE() and UNLOCK_TCPIP_CORE(). Your system should provide mutexes supporting priority inversion to use this.
◆ LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING_INPUT
#define LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING_INPUT 0
LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING_INPUT: when LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING is enabled, this lets tcpip_input() grab the mutex for input packets as well, instead of allocating a message and passing it to tcpip_thread.
ATTENTION: this does not work when tcpip_input() is called from interrupt context!
◆ SYS_LIGHTWEIGHT_PROT
#define SYS_LIGHTWEIGHT_PROT 1
SYS_LIGHTWEIGHT_PROT==1: enable inter-task protection (and task-vs-interrupt protection) for certain critical regions during buffer allocation, deallocation and memory allocation and deallocation. ATTENTION: This is required when using lwIP from more than one context! If you disable this, you must be sure what you are doing!

How to use robots for mass customized production?
This project subsists on the translational discrepancies that arise during interplay between an excessively controlled but exceedingly irresolute digital environment and its materialization into the reality of physical space. sPhysical seeks the epitome of synthesizing digital tools with physical expression by re-conceptualizing material design processes and applications in the field of architecture. The problem of materialization exists as the limitation of digital control and resolution. Matter and form are subjugated through a logic of rigging, a concept derived from and informed by robotic motion-control, and embedded with a certain propensity and agency. A design methodology, one that realizes the potential of designed properties, will be achieved through the conceptualization of rigging matter and form.
focus: mass customization with robots, translational discrepancies

2020 Volume 60 Issue 5 Pages 865-875
The cooling rate of the liquid oxide can be controlled in industrial sintering processes through the draft pressure and has the potential to influence microstructure formation. The solidification of a liquid within the hematite primary phase field in the ternary "Fe2O3"–CaO–SiO2 system in air was undertaken at different cooling rates to determine the impact of cooling rate on the formation of product microstructures. Samples with a bulk composition of 72.7 wt% Fe2O3 and a CaO/SiO2 ratio of 3.46, were cooled from 1623 K (1350°C) at 2 K/s, 0.5 K/s, 0.1 K/s and 0.01 K/s and quenched at 5 K temperature intervals from 1533 K (1260°C) to 1453 K (1180°C). During cooling, four stages of phase assemblage formation were consistently observed at all cooling rates; in order of formation these are, Liquid+hematite (I), Liquid+hematite+dicalcium silicate(C2S)(II), Liquid+C2S+calcium diferrite (CF2)(III) and C2S+CF2+calcium ferrite (CF)(IV). An intergrowth of silico-ferrite of calcium and aluminium-I (SFCA-I) and Ca7.2Fe2+0.8Fe3+30O53 was observed to form in some conditions in regions free of hematite, present in liquids solidifying at 0.5 K/s and 0.1 K/s. The sizes and shapes of microstructures were observed to systematically change with cooling rate, with a slower cooling rate typically resulting in coarser coupled microstructures and larger individual crystals. A larger proportion of coupled microstructures are observed at slower cooling rates, this appears to be related to the degree of undercooling prior to the nucleation of new phases. The equilibrium silico-ferrite of calcium (SFC) phase was not observed at any of the cooling rates investigated.

The Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson has partnered with the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) to organize an event in commemoration of Abolition Day.
To make the even more colorful and memorable, the Office of the Bronx BP Gibson honored some African American leaders in appreciation of their contributions to the development of the county.
"Congratulations to all of our honorees! They have worked tirelessly for decades to uplift the next generation of leaders and we proudly stand on their shoulders," BP Gibson said.
ASALH is the oldest and largest historical society established for the promotion of African American history.
Before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and the enforcement of General Order No. 3 in Texas in 1865(Juneteenth), New York State abolished slavery within its borders becoming the first state to do so.
On July 4th, 1827 New York decreed the freedom of African American adult men and women who had been born before July 4th, 1799.

The City of Hudson is partnering with the North East Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) to perform a drainage study of the Brandywine Creek and Brandywine Tributary watersheds. The goal of the study is to better identify and understand any local existing flooding or storm water related issues near downtown and other areas within the watershed and prioritize future capital improvement projects.
The study will evaluate the existing storm water infrastructure elements along Brandywine Creek, the Brandywine Creek Tributary and other local critical areas within the watershed. The study will catalog the existing infrastructure, generate a new hydrologic and hydraulic model of the infrastructure, develop and rank alternative solutions to mitigate any identified storm water flooding related problems and potential water quality improvements. The findings will then be compiled into a storm water master plan to be used for future planning and budgeting of capital improvement projects.
NEORSD is funding the study of the regional components of the Brandywine Creek Watershed as part of their Cuyahoga River South Stormwater Master Plan. The City is funding the portions of the study in the local storm system.
To help pay for part of the City's portion of the Brandywine Creek Watershed Study, the City secured funding from the Ohio Lake Erie Commission for a Lake Erie Protection Fund Small that will be used to partially fund the study. The City will also utilize the funds collected by NEORSD by the Hudson sewer customers to offset the remaining costs of this study.
The anticipated timeline for the completion of the report is in the Fall, 2018.

One of those really difficult decisions for many purebred dog owners is the one relating to ear cropping.
Some breeds of dogs through the ages have traditionally been recognized partly by the distinctive look of their head; cropped ears have been a trademark for these breeds. Doberman Pinschers, Boxers and Great Danes come to mind right away. And even many of the smaller breeds such as the Miniature Schnauzer have traditionally had their ears surgically changed to give them a distinctive appearance.
In our modern times, many people have come to question the need or advisability of cropping the ears of dogs. The aspect of animal cruelty comes into play in that many people will argue that there is no medical, physical, environmental or cosmetic advantage for the dog to have the pinnas (the ear flaps) surgically altered. And to subject any dog to the "disfiguring" and unnecessary surgical procedure and subsequent taping and bandaging that sometimes needs to be done after the surgery amounts to animal cruelty and is indefensible. There are others that will argue that for some dogs, the cropped ear will help prevent ear canal infections and make the opportunity for pinna trauma and infection much less likely. They will state that the ear cropping is no different philosophically or ethically than any elective surgery such as spaying and neutering or removing protruding dew claws.
The fact is that ear infections are common in all sorts of breeds whether they have cropped ears or not. As a veterinarian with 32 years of experience treating hundreds of thousands of dogs during that time, I cannot find medical justification for cropping a dog's pinnas. So the choice to crop a dog's ears is a personal decision that a purebred dog owner needs to weigh carefully... partly because what you think you will get may not occur. I refer to the disappointing cases where the pup's ears have been cropped and yet, no matter what everyone tries to do, the ears won't stand erect!
Potential reasons for cropped ears not to stand erect...
NOTE: Supplementing a pup's diet with extra calcium in the hope that it will "build up" the ear cartilage is not scientifically or biochemically valid. Adding additional calcium above the usual balance of that mineral with phosphorus and Vitamin D has actually been shown to cause growth problems in dogs. Don't add calcium to a dog's diet in the misguided hope that it will "strengthen the cartilage".
There are all sorts of methods of taping the ears up after the surgery and helping to support the pinnas while they heal. You can do everything right and yet in some dogs the ears will not hold that erect posture... which was the goal of the surgery in the first place! Adding extra Calcium to the pup's diet won't work and can actually be detrimental to the pup's growth. Massaging the pinnas won't help. The pup "loosing it's teeth" has no impact on the strength or rigidity of the pinnas either. Of course all pups should be eating an optimum diet to begin with so supplementing an already high quality diet will have no additional benefits.
As your pup's caretaker, you have a choice. Weigh all the pros and cons, and then make your decision. Expect to be criticized by those who disagree with your choice. I was criticized by a number of breeders for NOT doing the surgery... they seemed put-out by the fact that they had to find another veterinarian to do it. But just as the decision not to do the surgery in my practices was my personal decision to make, so it is your choice whether or not it will be done on your dog.

What is the difference between Email and Gmail malayalam By Technolab malayalam
Email is a method of sending and receiving digital messages via the internet where the messages are usually encoded in ASCII text. The message is commonly referred to as a "mail" which is the most popular means of communication these days.
It is a digital mechanism which promotes transmission of messages over communications network. Email has changed the way we send and receive messages.
Gmail is the most popular and widely used email service offered by Google. Email has come a long way since it first entered the scene in the 1960s and got a better hold of the communication ecosystem by 1980s. From a text-based message exchanging service, Email has revolutionized the communication scene to become a worldwide phenomenon.
Email is more than just text these days; messages can now be sent with multimedia content attachments including images and videos. Gmail is just one of many web-based Email services used to exchange digital messages over the internet.

Henry Barton Turner
BornDecember 2, 1885
Brierley Hill, Birmingham, England
DiedDecember 6, 1970 (age 85)
Henry Barton Turner (_PHONE_) was a magician, specializing in escapes, that performed as Houdeen, Henri Deville, the Wizard of the Army, The Great Deville.
Turner became a music hall performer as The Great Deville, the Wizard of the Army, in the 1920s and this career continued until the early 1930s.
The act incorporated Houdini-style escapes and earlier in his career, during the first decade of the twentieth century when Houdini and his brother Hardeen were topping bills Europe, Turner briefly adopted the name of Houdeen.
"The Wizard of the Army" title used by Deville was a foil to Val Walker, "The Wizard of the Navy", who was also featuring unusual escapes in the early 1920s.
Illusions were also featured by Deville in some of his performances including "Dividing a Lady in Two, the 20th Century Unsolved Problem and Super Miracle", a version of Selbit's "Sawing a woman in half".
By 1936, he started a business selling illusions, manuscripts and books. Some of his manuscripts offered were of Hindu Fakir's Feats, 25 Long Lessons in Hypnotism, and Ventriloquism for Amateurs with 9 Dialogues.
During World War II, Deville worked for the Fairey Aviation Company building aircraft but also managed to continue his magic business[1]

_USER_'s answer is correct. There is no exact closed-form formula for call prices or implied vols as a function of local vols, which is unique and ironic, given there are formulas the other way around. The closest thing to a practical exact formula, to my knowledge, is the harmonic short maturity expansion given in the answer.
However, (and this is a direct answer to your question), the so-called "sigma-zero" formula does provide an exact expression for the implied vol as a function of the local vols, although this is an implicit formula, and the evaluation of some of its terms requires a numerical implementation. Hence, this formula, despite being exact, is not directly usable in practice.
Here is the formula (this is a more general formula that also works with stochastic volatility, for local volatility, replace the conditional expectation of the local variance by the square of the local vol):
- The implied variance is a weighted average of local variances over time and spots.
- The weights are the product of the probability density (which is not known analytically in local vol models and must be computed numerically, for instance with FDM over the Fokker-Planck equation) by the gamma (computed in Black-Scholes with the resulting implied vol, making the formula implicit).
For a demonstration, please see this video: Antoine Savine, RiO2018 or access its slides on SlideShare. You may also consult my lecture notes here, slides 71-78.
Note that the sigma-zero formula was also found (but not published) by Dupire, and his demonstration is particularly enlightening, in what it comes from an analysis of hedge errors.
Despite its impracticality, this formula offers a deep intuition of how local vols combine to produce European option prices and implied vols, and it has been the basis of a vast amount of work to find more or less precise, more or less complicated practical approximations, most prominently by Blacher (see his talk on RiO 2018 on YouTube) and Gatheral (in his famous textbook Volatility Surface).
By far the simplest (but definitely not the most accurate!!) of these approximations is to note, as seen on the picture, that probability density is maximal on the spot today, whereas gamma is maximum at the strike at maturity, hence a simple approximation is to average local variances from these two points, ignoring the rest of the surface.
And this exactly is the approximation you are asking about :)

When you are studying for the car theory test you will need to study and practice 14 car theory test subjects. These subjects range from your attitude towards road users around you to the rules regarding the motorway.
Here we cover the fourth subject (in alphabetic order)
Safety Margins – a total of 33 theory test car questions, safety margins consists largely of stopping distances, driving in fog and icy roads. The DVSA put these car theory test topics together in order to ensure that learner drivers will be able to deal with dangerous road situations like icy roads and understand the precautions that they should take when driving in these conditions. Of the 33 questions one of the least understood car theory test question is listed below
How can you avoid wheelspin when you're driving on an icy road?
- Drive at a slow speed in the highest gear possible
- Use the parking brake if the wheels start to slip
- Brake gently and repeatedly
- Drive in a low gear at all times
Lets start by explaining what a wheelspin is. A wheelspin is when the wheels on your car are spinning uncontrollably fast losing so much friction that the car isn't actually moving. This can happen if there is too much acceleration going on or in icy conditions when the wheels are struggling to grip the road. If you find yourself driving in icy conditions and the wheels start to spin too fast then the driver needs to able to change the situation. Before that is explained it is important to understand the difference between driving in high gears and driving in low gears. 1st gear is considered the lowest gear and 5th gear (6 in some cars) are considered a high gear. When you drive in 1st gear the wheels are spinning the fastest they can and in 5th gear they are spinning the slowest they can. So when you are moving off in icy conditions, it is always a good idea to drive in as high as gear as possible i.e. 2nd gear or even 3rd gear as that way the wheels will spin slower meaning that the vehicle will have more road friction. Hence the answer to the theory test car question above is 'drive at a slow speed in the highest gear possible.' If you 'use the parking brake if the wheels start to slip', then the car can skid. If you 'brake gently and repeatedly' then the car can also skid as its easier to skid when you over brake in icy roads. 'Driving in a low gear at all times' mean the wheels will spin too fast and the car will struggle to gain friction.
Another car theory test question that causes some confusion is as follows:
You're following other vehicles in fog. You have your headlights on dipped beam. What else can you do to reduce the chances of being in a collision?
- Keep close to the vehicle in front
- Use main beam instead of dipped headlights
- Keep up with the faster vehicles
- Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front
Before trying to work this question out it is important to understand what dipped beam is and this seems to create a lot of confusion with many learner drivers. Cars have different front lights, and it is important to know the difference between them. Sidelights are basically the weakest lights and you can use them in the day or when it is slightly gloomy in order to make yourself more visible to oncoming traffic. They are not powerful enough to benefit the driver so are used more to aid the visibility for other road users. Headlights (or dipped beam) are the vehicles most commonly used lights. These headlights point towards the ground in order to prevent dazzling other road users but being strong enough to use at night and in normal darkened situations. Main beam or (full beam) are the most powerful front lights and are commonly used when driving at night in country roads that do not have any lighting on the road. You should switch them off when you see oncoming traffic or when you're following traffic as you risk dazzling the drivers if you don't. Fog lights are an optional extra that some cars but not all have built in. They are to be used in foggy conditions, heavy rain or snow. They are designed to penetrate fog rather than reflect the fog back to the driver.
Going back to the theory test car question, if you 'keep close to the vehicle in front' then you run the risk of the car in front stopping in an emergency which could mean that you crash into the car in front. If you 'use main beam instead of dipped headlights' then the fog could be reflected back to the eyes of the driver. This answer seems to be very popular amongst many learner drivers but in this case it is not the correct answer. 'Keep up with the faster vehicles' is also unsafe as you may be driving faster than what is safe for the road conditions. The correct answer to the car theory question above is 'keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.' By keeping a safe distance from vehicles in front in foggy conditions, you will have more time to react to changes, see a lot more in front as well as giving less pressure to the vehicle in front of you thus making you a better and safer driver.

A-level Geography/AS OCR Geography/Urbanisation in LEDCs
Since the 1950's the majority of LEDCs have been transformed from Rural to Urban societies. Many have switched from supporting themselves through agriculture to earning a wage from factory work or service job.
This was a typical social/economical upheaval in the 20th century.
Urbanisation in MEDC has slowed whereas in LEDCs it has increased dramatically. However this is not true everywhere. For example in 1980 - Latin America slowed down, yet Asia and Africas urbanisation continued.
Big megacities in LEDCs are São Paulo, Brazil and Mexico City, Mexico.
Causes of Urbanisation in LEDC
- Rapid populational growth, for example, in 1950, Kenya had a population of 5.4 million, by 1995 it had risen to 28.3 million.
- Modernisation of technology, in agriculture, this signifies that fewer workers were needed on the farms, leading many to move to the cities in search of opportunities.
- General pull factors for LEDC Cities. Cities provided a chance for higher standard of living, more and better job opportunities, easier access to services and infrastructures (entertainment, health and transportation for instance).

Below you will find a tutorial on how to fight effectively and how to use the available fighting techniques.
Let's start from the basics, i.e. from fighting on the ground. When you start a battle, you can use the square to perform the basic melee attack. Pressing the square four times will create a combination that will throw the opponent backwards. If you hold the square while in front of the enemy, you will send them flying. You can now continue damaging the enemy in the air when you press the square again, or use the triangle to e.g. throw the enemy.
Square and triangle are the two buttons that you will be relying on the most in combat – remember that the first of the buttons is mainly responsible for attacking, and the triangle for things related to web, web shooting, throwing, etc.
Enemies will not stand idle and will also attack you, mainly using weapons. Luckily, Spider-Man possesses a special spider sense – just before an incoming attack, a glow will appear around the character's head – press circle and Peter will avoid the attack and any damage that may have come with it. Acquire the Perfect Dodge skill as soon as possible, which will further improve your ability to avoid attacks.
In battle you will accumulate Focus – you can then use it to heal yourself (bottom arrow) or use finishers. You can finish off your enemies by pressing the triangle + circle – it's a good way to speed up some battles.
Most locations and combat arenas will be full of additional items such as barrels or pieces of metal. With the help of L1+R1 you can grab items and throw them at enemies. Such attacks quickly fill the focus bar and are especially useful against some types of enemies.
Gadgets also play a vital role in combat. When you hold L1, time will slow down and you will be able to choose one of Peter's inventions. You can use it by pressing R1 – many of them are extremely useful, as they can, for example, stun enemies or stick them to a wall. New gadgets will be constructed in later missions and after completing, among other things, Taskmaster's challenges.
The special costume skills can also be a big help in combat – you can create new disguises that will unlock i.e., area of effect attacks. Like the gadgets, new suits will be unlocked as the plot progresses. And don't forget to buy new skills as you advance to a higher level of experience. Many skills make combat much easier – a list of the best skills can be found in a separate chapter of this guide.
To sum things up, the game offers a really extensive combat system and leaves you free to choose your favorite battle techniques. If you can't handle everything at the beginning of the game – give yourself some time and try to complete some side missions. There's also a Move List, which will give you an overview of all possible Spider-Man moves.

Welding Triangles In A Mesh Using Thrust 2016-02-29
This algorithm is designed to weld together triangle vertices with a certain tolerance and remove duplicated triangles. Thrust will be used making the algorithm parallel on the CPU using OpenMP or on the GPU using CUDA. Additionally, I assume that the code is run on the CPU.
This example is based on the Welding Vertices example in the Thrust GitHub examples folder. I used the following to merge vertices and triangles for a marching cubes code which generated an unoptimized triangle mesh.
The input to this procedure is a list of triangles and vertices,
vertices is a three dimensional vector with the locations of each vertex in a triangle and
indices is an array of indices for the vertices that make up a specific triangle. Note that the input to the algorithm must not be merged already, meaning that
vertices will contain unique entries for every vertex and
indices will reference 3 unique vertices. No vertex will be shared by a triangle.

Arent Fox Partner Timothy Feighery Talks with On the Money about Cuba Settling Unpaid Claims with US Businesses
Arent Fox International Arbitration & Dispute Resolution partner Timothy J. Feighery was interviewed by Mike Vitoria, host of the radio program On the Money, about the United States' normalizing of diplomatic relations with Cuba. They also talked about the impact that might have on American corporations who have asset claims there.
During the interview, Mr. Feighery spoke about his experience as a former Chairman of the United States Foreign Claims Settlement Commission, which included defending United States' interests internationally in the areas of state-to-state arbitration, investor-state arbitrations, US citizen foreign investment disputes, and international claims mechanisms. He also spoke about how the US has a long history of working to compensate citizens who were victimized by overseas governments, beginning with the British during the American Revolution and including Nazi Germany and Iraq during the 20th Century. Mr. Feighery explained that compensation given to US citizens from these circumstances would come from foreign countries as opposed to US tax dollars.
Mr. Feighery elaborated on the types of assets that US citizens and companies once held in Cuba prior to that nation's communist revolution. Those assets included sugar, alcohol, vacation properties, and casinos. He also explained that there are claims involving US citizens who were injured or murdered by the regime of Fidel Castro.
Mr. Vitoria asked, now that the US has normalized relations with Cuba, whether US citizens and companies would be compensated for their losses in that country. He also asked whether they would be able to return to Cuba with "credit" or "money in the bank." Mr. Feighery answered that it is "yet to be determined," explaining, "There's going to be some pressure on the US side to make sure all the companies are taken care of." He added, "The Cubans are probably going to want legal peace in the long term, which would mean getting rid of all the claims."

text: Incommensurate tridymite L3-T O (MX-1) shows a cascade of five phase transitions at 65, 110, 150, 200, and 380 degrees C upon heating. The X-ray diffraction patterns were investigated with a Buerger precession camera revealing a sequence of four incommensurate phases in the range from room temperature to 200 degrees C. The phases formed between 65 and 110 degrees C and between 110 and 150 degrees C are new modifications of tridymite. At 65 degrees C the monoclinic tridymite L3-T O (MX-1) phase undergoes a first-order transformation to an orthorhombic phase. The incommensurate structural modulation of the room-temperature phase with the wavevector q1 = 0.663 a (super *) -0.498 c (super *) flips to q2 = 0.042 a (super *) -0.388 c (super *) . Simultaneously, a commensurate modulation with tripled b lattice parameter is formed. The wavelengths of both modulations do not depend appreciably on the temperature. The incommensurate modulation discontinuously disappears near 110 degrees C whereas the commensurate modulation along the b axis becomes non-integral with a temperature-dependent wavelength varying between 115 and 100 Aa. At 150 degrees C the symmetry is reduced to monoclinic again with gamma = 90.4 degrees . Between 150 and 200 degrees C the monoclinic angle gradually decreases to 90 degrees and the wavelength of the modulation from about 90 to 65 Aa. At higher temperatures, the satellite reflections fade into weak streaks and the normal orthorhombic high-temperature modification of tridymite is formed. The phase transitions are reversible upon cooling except for the first transformation that is partly irreversible for single crystals and reversible but incomplete for pulverized material at room temperature.

After learning that women still have few opportunities to learn about their heritage in art and what is required to be a professional artist, Judy Chicago decided to offer the opportunity to learn about her work and the work of other women through a hands-on program that involves learning professional skills while being exposed to the environment of a professional woman artist. By working with and caring for the enormous body of artwork and its documentation, interns begin to understand the requirements of a professional career in art, while they benefit from exposure to Judy Chicago, her colleagues, and the Through the Flower staff.
Participation in the daily activities of Through the Flower allows interns to understand what it means to bring one's art into the world. Interns have access to photographic materials, videos, books, and other resource materials from Through the Flower's library which are often difficult to obtain.
The internship program is intended to provide support and empowerment for women and men as they struggle to articulate their own goals and clarify their intentions in relation to art. Internships provide a basis for growth based upon the feminist principles embodied in Judy Chicago's art, writings, and teachings. Interns are asked to complete the required reading as a supplement to the other educational aspects of the program while they complete their internship.
Interested applicants should send the following materials to: _EMAIL_
The letter of interest should include a brief biography, a description of any particular skills or interests of the applicant, and an explanation of why the applicant would like to be an intern with Through the Flower.

Experiencing strong emotions synchronizes brain activity across individuals, a research team at Aalto University and Turku PET Centre in Finland has revealed.
Human emotions are highly contagious. Seeing others' emotional expressions such as smiles triggers often the corresponding emotional response in the observer. Such synchronization of emotional states across individuals may support social interaction: When all group members share a common emotional state, their brains and bodies process the environment in a similar fashion.
Researchers at Aalto University and Turku PET Centre have now found that feeling strong emotions makes different individuals' brain activity literally synchronous.
The results revealed that especially feeling strong unpleasant emotions synchronized brain's emotion processing networks in the frontal and midline regions. On the contrary, experiencing highly arousing events synchronized activity in the networks supporting vision, attention and sense of touch.

Build steps can have zero or more logs. Logs are uniquely identified by name within a step. Information about a log, apart from its contents, is represented as a dictionary with the following keys, referred to as a *logdict*: * ''id'' (log ID, globally unique) * ''stepid'' (step ID, indicating the containing step) * ''name'' free-form name of this log * ''slug'' (50-identifier for the log, unique within the step) * ''complete'' (true if the log is complete and will not receive more lines) * ''num_lines'' (number of lines in the log) * ''type'' (log type; see below) Each log has a type that describes how to interpret its contents. See the :bb:rtype:'logchunk' resource type for details. A log is contains a sequence of newline-separated lines of unicode. Log line numbering is zero-based. Each line must be less than 64k when encoded in UTF-8. Longer lines will be truncated, and a warning logged.

If you want to remove a background from a drawing that does not have a clipping path stored, you can do this automatically using the Detect Edges option in the Clipping Paths dialog box. The Detect Edges option hides the lightest or darkest areas of the shape, so it works best when the body is set to anon-white or black background.
Automatically create a clipping path
Automatically cut the path to the appropriate candidate (left) and the inappropriate candidate (right)
Select Import Graphics and choose Object > Clip Path.
In the Clipping Path dialog, select Detect Edges in the Type menu. By default, the brightest tones are excluded; to exclude the darkest tones, you also need to select the Reverse option.
Specify the clipping path option and click OK.
Clip path option
The threshold specifies the darkest pixel value thatwill define the resulting clipping path. By expanding the range of luminance values added to the hidden area, increasing the pixel value from 0 (white)makes more pixels transparent. For example, if you want to delete a very bright projection when using Detect Edge, try increasing the Threshold until the projection disappears. If the bright pixels that should be visible are not visible, the "threshold" is too high.
When the threshold levels are 25 (left) and 55 (right)
The tolerance specifies how close the pixel's luminance value is to the "threshold" before the pixel is hidden by the clipping path. Increasing the "tolerance" value helps to remove unwanted bumps caused by isolated pixels that are darker than others but close to the brightness value in the "threshold". Higher "tolerance" values typically create a smoother, looser clipping path by increasing the range of values around the "tolerance" value, including isolated darker pixels. Lowering the "tolerance" value tightens the clipping path by making the value smaller. A lower "tolerance" value will create a rougher clipping path by adding anchor points, which may make printing images more difficult.
When the tolerance levels are 0 (left) and 5 (right)
The clipping path generated by the collapsed box relative to the clipping path defined by the "Threshold" and "Tolerance" values. Unlike "threshold" and "tolerance", the "inset frame" value does not take into account the brightness value; it uniformly shrinks the shape of the clipping path. Slightly adjusting the "inset box" value may help hide isolated pixels that cannot be eliminated using the "threshold" and "tolerance" values. Entering a negative value causes the resulting clipping path to be larger than the clipping path defined by the Threshold and Tolerance values.
When the trap frame is 0.1 mm (left) and 0.3 mm (right)
Inverting switches the visible and hidden regions by using the darkest hue as the beginning of the clipping path.
The inclusion of the inner edge makes the area existing inside the original clipping path transparent (if its brightness value is within the "threshold" and "tolerance" range). By default, the Cut Path command only makes the outer area transparent, so use Include Inner Edge to correctly represent the "hole" in the drawing. This option works best when the brightness level of the area you want to be transparent does not match any of the areas that must be visible. For example, if you select "Include inner edge" for the silver-rimmed glasses graphic and the lens becomes transparent, the bright frame area can also become transparent. If some areas become transparent and you don't want this, try adjusting the Threshold, Tolerance, and Inset Box values.
Limits the creation of a clipping path in the frame that ends at the visible edge of the graphic. This produces a simpler path when you use a graphical frame to crop the shape.
Using high resolution images For maximum precision, the actual file should be used to calculate the transparent area. Deselecting this option will calculate the transparency based on the screen display resolution, which will be faster but less accurate. If "alpha channel" is selected, this option will not be available because indesign always uses the actual resolution of the alpha channel.
Convert clipping path to graphics frame
Choose Object > Clipping Path > Convert ClippingPath to Frame.
Otherwise, if you want to hire clipping path professionals to remove background with adobe photoshop, then please email us: _EMAIL_.

Sex offender returns to Smokey Point
SMOKEY POINT — A blue-eyed, brown-haired white man, five-feet eight-inches tall weighing 160 pounds, Charlie Mathison was known as "the candy man" by neighborhood children and now he is back in town after serving his 68-month sentence for child molestation in the first degree. He is living in the18800 block of Smokey Point Boulevard, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.
Mathison is not wanted by the police at this time.
Mathison was found guilty by stipulated trial in April 2002 in Snohomish County Superior Court and was sentenced to 68 months in prison. This sentence was suspended and Mathison was granted a special sex offender sentencing alternative when he agreed to serve six months in jail and attend community-based sex-offender treatment.
The conviction was the result of Mathison sexually assaulting a known female between the ages of 10 to 12 years at the time. Mathison lured children into his residence by offering candy, allowing them to play video games and watch television. The children were also allowed to take photographs and be photographed. Mathison would leave pornographic magazines, pornographic photos and videos, and photos of Mathison that were sexual in nature out in the open so that the children would see them. Some of the photos of Mathison that were sexual in nature had been taken by children. Mathison admitted to a 23-year history of sexually assaulting and exposing himself to over 200 victims who were female children from the age of five to 12 years old. Mathison has also admitted to stalking children and watching them at playgrounds, seeking out children that were alone. He would also target children who had separated parents or were without a father.
Mathison pled guilty in Snohomish County Superior Court on Aug. 27, 2003 on one count of indecent exposure. He was sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison. This conviction was the result of Mathison exposing himself to an unknown 6-year-old female victim at a large department store. Mathison had been observed by store security staff exposing himself to the victim. Mathison admitted to exposing himself to numerous victims in a similar manner for the previous five months.
As a result of this conviction Mathison's SSOSA sentence was revoked and he served his original 68-month sentence in prison. Mathison has since gone through the process of being civilly committed as a sexually violent predator and was found not to meet the criteria to be civilly committed. However, he is considered to be at high risk to re-offend.
Mathison will be on active supervision by the Washington State Department of Corrections for 36 months.

Explain "Event-Driven" Web Servers to Your Grandma
You've heard the term event-driven, event-based, or evented when it comes to web servers. Node.js is based on evented I/O. nginx is an asynchronous event-driven web server.
But what does the term mean? Here's an easy way to think about it.
Let's think of a web server as a pizza shop that needs to take orders over the phone (requests for web pages).
Traditional Web Server
The pizza shop hires operators (processes/threads) to take orders over the phone. Each operator has one phone line. After the operator is done taking the order, the operator keeps the customer on the line until the pizza (response web page) is done baking and then tells them it's ready to pick up.
So the pizza shop needs to hire as many operators as the number of pizzas that may be baked at once in order to serve all customers who call in.
Event-Driven Web Server
The pizza shop only hires one operator, but has trained the operator to hang up after taking the order, and call the customer back when the pizza is ready to be picked up.
Now one operator can serve many customers.

FREQUENCY FEATURES FOR DETECTING EVENTS IN VIDEO SEQUENCE OF VIDEO-EEG MONITORING DATA
Keywords: Video-Electroencephalographic Monitoring, Optical Flow, Periodogram, Welch's Method, Clustering
Abstract. The work is devoted to the study of the frequency features of the optical flow obtained from the video record of long-term video-electroencephalographic (video-EEG) monitoring data of patients with epilepsy. It is necessary to obtain features to recognize epileptic seizures and differentiate them from non-epileptic events. We propose to analyze the periodograms of the smoothed optical flow calculated from the fragments of the patient's video recordings. We use Welch's method to obtain periodograms. The values of the power spectral density of the optical flow at the selected frequencies will be used as features. Using the clustering algorithm, four groups of events were identified in video recordings.

The injection pressure of the gasoline direct injection vehicle is currently developing from the low pressure to the high pressure, and the increase of the injection pressure has brought various damage problems to the high pressure pump structure. These problems should be solved urgently. In this paper, the damage problem of the high pressure pump unloading valve ball in a gasoline direct injection vehicle under high pressure conditions is studied. The theoretical calculation of the force of the pressure relief valve is carried out. Firstly, the equivalent friction coefficient is obtained by decoupling analysis of the statically indeterminate model. Based on this, a finite element model is established. The equivalent stress is obtained by numerical simulation. The equivalent stress is compared with the yield strength of the valve ball material to determine that the valve ball damage is a non-static damage. At the same time, the s-N curve of the probability of destruction of one-millionth of the material of the valve ball is given. Then, the fatigue numerical simulation is performed. A safety factor of 3.66 is obtained. In summary, the high pressure relief valve ball in the direct injection high pressure pump should not be a traditional structural damage under high pressure conditions. In the theoretical calculation, the tangential displacement and radial displacement of the ball are all on the micrometer level. It can be presumed that the surface damage of the valve ball is microscopic damage, such as fretting wear.

Spokane was lucky. It had two natural advantages, Spokane Falls, and it was really close to the mines. When miners and loggers and railroaders needed clothes or something to eat or equipment, they came to Spokane. Some people became millionaires almost over night.
With all the money coming in, Spokane became a rich town. This was the start of the 1890s and it was called the "Age Of Elegance".
Kirtland Kelsey Cutter was one of the greatest architects of Washington. He was born on August 20, 1860 in East Rockport, Ohio. His father William Cutter was a banker, along with Kirtland's mother, Caroline Atwater Pease. He also had a grandfather, Jared Potter Kirtland, who was a prominent doctor in Ohio. The whole family lived with his grandfather, uncles and aunts on Whippoorwill Farm, near Cleveland. At age 14 Kirtland went to Brooks Military Academy, which was a new high school in Cleveland. He spent five years there.
Kirtland thought he wanted to be an artist, so he enrolled in the Art Student's League in New York City. He continued his art studies in Europe in Dresden, Germany, and Florence, Italy. While in Europe he met Austin Corbin, and they became good friends. Austin's father was from Spokane and was a successful railroad man. Kirtland returned from Europe convinced that "architecture is the finest of the useful arts," and that he would make a better architect than artist. His parents begged Kirtland not to move to Spokane, but Kirtland wanted to move west with Austin Corbin.
Kirtland journeyed to Spokane Falls on the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1886 and lived with his uncle, Horace Cutter. Horace was a officer at the First National Bank and president of Spokane Savings Bank. Kirtland drew beautiful homes because of his art schooling. It was hard to get started in architecture career without formal training, though. His first partner was John Poetz. Unlike most architects, Kirtland didn't worry about the supports of the house or building he designed, Kirtland let his partner engineer and build the structure of the house or building. The Glover mansion amazed townspeople because it had three indoor bathrooms.
In 1889 in his biography he writes "my darkest day" the great fire of Spokane occurred. Almost everybody turned to Kirtland to rebuild the homes and buildings that were burned or damaged in the fire. He was largely responsible for rebuilding the burnt town after the fire. He did a great deal of work. "He didn't just rebuild the city, he made it six times more beautiful" said the Spokesman Review. Kirtland Kelsey Cutter began to be known all around the Northwest. One of the reasons why Kirtland Cutter's homes looked so nice is because he wanted to have his homes and buildings fit in with the surroundings of them. He did a great deal of work in Spokane, and in Seattle, Tacoma, Boise, and some other Northwest communities. In 1894, his partner John Poets left, and his new partner was Karl G. Malmgren. After 38 years in Spokane, Kirtland moved to California, Long Beach in 1923. He died in Long Beach, California on September 29, 1939, at the age of 79.
Kirtland Kelsey Cutter received many honors, among them, a medal for his Idaho state building in the world's fair of 1893. He was also chosen as a member of the Jury for the competition for the Washington State Capitol, and received the first prize award by the Southern California Chapter in 1927 for his work on the Palos Verdes section. Some of his notable buildings include: The Davenport Hotel, the Spokane Club, the Sherwood building, the Silver Grill of the Spokane hotel, the Washington Water Power building, the Chronicle building, the R.B. Porter home, the Patrick Welsh home (also known as the James Glover home), the Patrick Clark home, the A. B. Campbell home, and before I put you to sleep from all these listings I'll just say, and many more. Kirtland Cutter designed over 30 mansions, and many office buildings still used today. And that's Kirtland Cutter!

Patrick F. Clark
This is the elaborate house of Patrick F. Clark. "Patsy" Clark and Mr. Cutter roamed the world for the house's furnishings. Mrs. Clark met her callers in a room with golden lined chairs and silk curtains. The library rug was said to have cost $17,000 and the grandfather clock was made in England and the chandeliers were ordered from Tiffany of New York.
The Patrick Clark house also had a combination of carriage house and stable. It housed two Shetland ponies, two Newfoundland dogs and a wicker basket cart, a driving horse for the two wheel cart, two lighter horses for the Spider, two heavy horses for the Landau, and a cow. In those days there was no real dairy, so most of the elite kept their own cow.
The Clark's lived a story book life and he and his partner are said to have piled up $13,000,000 on the house.

The Campbell House
The Campbell House is a very special historical landmark for Spokane. THe home of Amasa Basaliel Campbell was designed by Kirtland K. Cutter and built in 1898.
It has an exterior of stucco, sandstone, brick and heavy timber. It has nineteen rooms and nine fireplaces. There was a reception room, grand hall, drawing room, and a dining room, bedrooms and game room and a home office for Amasa.
Amasa Campbell was born on April 6th, 1845 in Salem, Ohio and was the youngest of ten children. He moved to Wallace, Idaho, and soon became the owner of a mine with his partner John A. Finch. Not long after that, he married Grace Fox and they had a daughter named Helen. After Helen was born, May 14, 1892, the Campbells moved to Spokane, to this house in the Browne's Addition.
At the age of 67, Amasa died in 1912. Twelve years later, Grace died leaving Helen the only Campbell left.
It is 100 years old and has been a museum since 1925. Helen Campbell Powell donated the house to the Eastern Washington State Historical Society in honor of her mother, Grace Fox Campbell. It is located at 2316 W. First next to the NW Museum of Arts and Culture, the MAC. The house was restored in the 60's and that restoration cost $861,168!
Pioneer Spokane had two fashionable residential areas (the areas of mansions) - Seventh Avenue known as "the Hill", and "Brownes Addition" where the Campbell house is. There was a lot of social rivalry between the two sections and each looked down upon the other with a sense of haughty superiority. When making calls, there were very strict rules. The ladies on "The Hill" would call on the ladies in Browne's Addition on Thursdays, and vice versa on Wednesdays.
Louis Davenport and the Davenport Hotel
Louis M. Davenport contributed more than anyone to the Age of Elegance in Spokane. He was one of the world's hotel geniuses and was known far and wide.
There is a romantic story about Louis Davenport arriving in Spokane just before the Great Fire with $1.50 in his pocket and his opening Davenport's Waffle Foundry right after the Great Fire of 1889. However current research indicates that he arrived in March, 1889, and worked with his Uncle Elijah, who was well established in the restaurant and meat market business. Elijah was the proprietor of the Pride of Spokane Restaurant. The first Waffle Foundry was in a tent, but by 1890, Davenport's Restaurant, a second establishment, was located in the Wilson block where the hotel is now located. Davenport's Restaurant set out to be the finest restaurant in the city. He gained respect as an excellent business man.
Beginning in 1906 many of Spokane's wealthy business leaders, began planning the "finest Hotel in the Northwest." They approached Louis Davenport to manage the hotel. Even with the financing of Spokane's wealthy business leaders, Louis Davenport had to sell his new home on 8th Avenue to free up capital for the hotel. The 12 story hotel was built next to the restaurant. The hotel was built in 1914 at a cost of 1.75 million dollars. It was a masterpiece at the time. The restaurant was like an auditorium. It was always filled after shows and speeches. Later Mr. Davenport built one of the grandest ballrooms of the hotel, called the Hall of Doges, over his restaurant. Doges means "very important". The architecture and style of this room was Venetian Gothic. Here Spokane citizens dressed in their finest clothes waltzed the night away in the grandest style. The dances started at 9 o'clock and ended at 1 am so people could catch the nightowl street car home.

CARA : a web-based environment for child protection workers
CARA (Child Abuse Risk Assessment) is a web-based learning environment which may be used by child protection investigators as well as caseworkers and followup workers, to think about the complexity of the factors related to the immediate safety and future risk of children. This is an American collaborative project between the Children & Family Research Center, the School of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
CARA is built around cases, scenes, factors and commentaries. Each of the cases has the name of the child who was the focus of that particular case investigation. Each case is divided into a number of scenes (written in narrative form), usually on the basis of the chronological development of the case during investigation. All of the scenes in each case have been examined in light of a set of global assessment factors. Each factor has a commentary drawn from the research literature that discusses the relevance of the factor to assessment in general.
CARA may be used by visitors, who are free to read the materials, or registered users, who may contribute comments to the learning environment. Registration is free. The materials may be worked through in a sequential or a non-sequential mode.

Tea if by Sea, Cha if by Land
Tea is one of those beverages that are universal. People explored the world for it, fought wars for it. Some say that the American Revolution was sparked by it, with the dumping of tea in the Boston Harbor.
But tea isn't just tea. In Russia, its pronounced chay, and the Arabic word for tea is shay. So why the difference? Simple, if it came by sea its Tea, and if it came by land its Cha.
Tea came from China, however, there were two major trading ports. "Sinitic" Chinese referred to the plant as cha and primarily exported it through the silk road. Countries, where this ran through, would refer to it as cha or some variant, such as chay, or shay. It even made its way to East Africa and was called chai in Swahili!
Tea, on the other hand, was traded primarily by Dutch traders through the ports of Fujian and Taiwan. The coastal provinces of China referred to their drink as "te", which the Dutch then called "thee". As this spread around Europe, all countries started putting their own spin on the word, from Te, to Tee in South Africa, and Teh in Java. Finally, the English referred to it as Tea, which is most well known.

On the map, you may have noticed that Portugal has a pink dot. That is because they were the first European explorers in Asia, and traded through Macao whereas you may have guessed, they referred to it as Cha.
By looking at this map you can see interesting views of globalization. On one hand, the Silk Road shows over a millennium of overland trade, while the sea routes show's a smaller, 400-year-old trade route. Both trade routes had significant impacts on the world you see today, as well as thousands of smaller impacts.

To be on this list, a peak must be the triple divide point of three basins of rivers that reach marine water, and the smallest of these basins must have an area of over 1500 square miles. This last condition excludes what could easily be hundreds of peaks that are triple divides that involve small rivers and tiny coastal creeks.
Also, this list only shows triple divide points for rivers that enter the ocean directly (or for well-defined internal drainages). Therefore, the entire Mississippi-Missouri-Ohio system is considered one basin, and triple divides that include two or three components of this system (e.g. the Colorado-Arkansas-Platte triple divide, where the Arkansas and Platte are both Mississippi tributaries) are not shown. This does leave out a large number of points in the central part of the United States, but most of these points would be low hills in relatively flat country.

Weather of Belgium
Belgium Weather / September 6, 2018
When you think of a European summer, you usually think of long, hot days on the French, Italian or Spanish coasts, not sheltering under an umbrella in the centre of Brussels.
With high rainfall, harsh winters and very average summers, Belgium has a bad reputation for its weather and deservedly so.
Wet Summers
Belgium has an annual average rainfall of 820 mm (32 in) that is fairly evenly distributed through the year, with a slight increase in the summer months. On average, they get around 200 days of rainfall each year. This is more than both Paris and London, both of which are renowned for their grey and drizzly days. This makes an umbrella or waterproof jacket essential items for any trip to Belgium.
The dampness can also make it feel much colder than it is, so even if you have dressed appropriately for the forecasted temperature it's probably a good idea to throw on an extra layer or two just in case.
The daily and monthly temperature variations are quite small, so unlike other European countries that oscillate between freezing cold and scorching hot, Belgium tends to go from mild winters to only-slightly-warmer summers. Average daily temperatures range from 3 degrees celcius in January to 18 degrees celcius in July.
Even at the height of summer, the temperature rarely exceeds 22 degrees celcius. Warm and sunny weather is not constant during summer and it is almost a surprise when the sun does come out. If you're lucky enough to get a few consecutive days of sunshine, be prepared for the locals to talk about nothing else. But even on warmer days, the evenings can still turn quite cool so you will probably need to pack a jacket or light jumper.
Wet Winters
From October, the temperature begins to drop quite rapidly. The winter months are chilly and wet, and rarely bring the same massive snowfalls that cover other parts of the continent. If it does snow, it will melt fairly quickly and become slush on the ground. Therefore it's a good idea to wear sturdy, thick-soled shoes in winter and watch your step on the quaint but surprisingly deadly cobble stone streets of Belgium's medieval towns.
Wet, but Safe
This moderate climate means that Belgium is subject to very few natural disasters. Flooding is a threat along rivers and in some areas of reclaimed coastal land. In November 2010, torrential rain across the country caused floods and mudslides, killing two people. However events of this scale are rare and very unlikely to affect most travellers.
To maximise your chances of getting good weather (but remember, it's never guaranteed in Belgium) May to September is the best time to visit, especially for hiking and outdoor activities. There is still a very high likelihood of rain but at least it won't be paired with freezing temperatures.
However, this is also peak tourist season, so it will pay to plan ahead and book accommodation in these areas before you arrive.


Antanaclasis Definition
What is antanaclasis? Here's a quick and simple definition:
Antanaclasis is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is repeated within a sentence, but the word or phrase means something different each time it appears. A famous example of antanaclasis is Benjamin Franklin's statement that: "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." In this example, the first time "hang" appears it means "stay" or "stand," while the second time it refers to being "hanged."
Some additional key details about antanaclasis:
 - Antanaclasis derives from the Greek word, "antanáklasis," which literally translates to "reflection."
 - Antanaclasis, with its focus on multiple meanings of the same word or phrase, is a form of pun.
 - Advertisers frequently use antanaclasis to write catchy and persuasive slogans.
Antanaclasis Pronunciation
Here's how to pronounce antanaclasis: ant-an-uh-class-iss
Antanaclasis and Pun
Antanaclasis is a special form of pun. Puns are a broader category into which antanaclasis fits, for two reasons:
 - Structure: Antanaclasis has to occur within a single sentence and involve the repetition of a word or phrase. Puns don't require either. For instance, take the joke "Why don't you ever get hungry at the beach? Because of the sand which is there." There's no repetition in this pun on the words "sand which is," and it's set up across multiple sentences.
 - Type of pun: Puns can play with the meaning of words in multiple ways. For instance, a pun can be homophonic, meaning they play with the meanings of two words that sound alike (like "sand which is" and "sandwhiches" in the example just above). Puns can also be homographic, meaning they play with the different meanings of words that are spelled the same way. Antanaclasis cannot be homphonic; it is always homographic, as with the different meanings of the word "hang" in Benjamin Franklin's comment.
All this adds up to a simple fact: all examples of antanaclasis are puns, but not all puns are antanaclasis.
Antanaclasis Examples
Antanaclasis can be found in everything from classical literature to contemporary pop culture, from Shakespearean plays to popular song lyrics to advertisements.
Examples of Antanaclasis in Shakespeare
Shakespeare was a great practitioner of antanaclasis. The device appears in a number of his plays, in moments both comic and tragic.
Antanaclasis in Henry V
In Henry V, after England has invaded and defeated France in battle and the play is nearing its end, the comic and rather unscrupulous character of Pistol declares:
To England will I steal, and there I'll steal.
Here Pistol uses two meanings of the word "steal." In the first appearance, he uses the meaning "to sneak away." In the second, he uses the more common meaning of the act of theft.
Antanaclasis in Twelfth Night
In Twelfth Night, the character of Feste pulls a prank on another character named Malvolio. Feste's prank involves getting dressed up in the robes of a priest to trick Malvolio. As he goes off to do his mischief, Feste says:
Well, I'll put it on, and I will dissemble myself in 't, and I would I were the first that ever dissembled in such a gown.
The first "dissemble" here means to "disguise," while the second means to "lie" or to "act hypocritically." Note how, when the word is repeated, it has a slightly altered form (it's in the past tense rather than the present). That's okay; it still counts as antanaclasis.
Antanaclasis in Othello
Near the end of Othello, a candle burns in Desdemona's bedroom as Othello enters with the intent to kill her because he has been convinced that she has been unfaithful to him. He says:
Yet she must die, else she'll betray more men.
Put out the light, and then put out the light.
In this example of antanaclasis, the first "light" refers to the candle, while the second refers to Desdemona's life. It's worth noting that this example of antanaclasis is a slightly less straightforward than most others. That's because in this example Othello uses a literal meaning for "light" in its first appearance, but he uses "light" figuratively in its second appearance. If you look up "light" in the dictionary, you won't find any definition according to which it means "life." Rather, Othello's use of "light" to mean "life" is metaphorical.
Examples of Antanaclasis in Song Lyrics
The witty repetition that takes place in antanaclasis can give power to a memorable chorus or refrain. Here are a couple of examples of antanaclasis in popular music.
Antanaclasis in "Where the Green Grass Grows" by Tim McGraw
In this song, Tim McGraw includes a lyric that uses "bars" to refer to a place where you buy a drink, and to protective rails that block access:
And there's bars on the corners and bars on my heart
Antanaclasis in "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder
In this song, Stevie Wonder makes it clear that while anyone can make a record, not just anyone can make a good record:
Just because a record has a groove
Don't make it in the groove
The first "groove" refers to the grooves etched into records that the needles of records run through in order to then create sound. The second "groove" refers to making people want to dance.
Examples of Antanaclasis in Advertising
The pun in antanaclasis can produce pithy, witty statements that stick in the mind. It's no wonder, then, that brands often use antanaclasis for taglines. Here are some examples:
 - "Cats like Felix like Felix" — Felix Cat Food, whose mascot is a cat named Felix
 - Translation: Cats that are similar to Felix like this brand of cat food.
 - "The long cigarette that's long on flavor" — Pall Mall Cigarettes
 - Translation: This cigarette is longer than others and has a lot of flavor.
 - "People on the go... go for Coke" — Coca Cola
 - Translation: Busy people buy Coke.
 - "If you don't get it, you don't get it" — The Washington Post
 - Translation: If you don't buy this newspaper, you won't know what's going on.
 - "When you run out, run out to White Hen" — White Hen Pantry
 - Translation: If you run out of something you need, come to our convenience store.
Why Do Writers Use Antanaclasis?
Writers use antanaclasis for a variety of reasons:
 - To spark an ironic play on words or make a joke.
 - To make a slogan, catchphrase, or line more memorable.
 - To create a rhythm through repetition that sticks in the listener's head, much like in a song's chorus.
 - To use the pithiness and wit of antanaclasis to convince others of an argument, especially as a concluding line (as in Ben Franklin's "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately).
 - To contrast and emphasize the two different meanings of the repeated word in a way that can emphasize either comedy or tragedy.
