Computers can sleep, hibernate, or shut down. Sleep allows you to quickly resume using your laptop at the cost of some electricity. Hibernate is like shutting down your computer, but you can still resume working where you left off.
There's no right answer in all situations. Some people leave their computers running 24/7, while others shut down computers the moment they step away. Each of these options has its advantages and disadvantages.

Shut Down vs. Sleep vs. Hibernate
Each of the three power-down states appears to shut off your computer, but they all work differently.
- Shut Down: This is the power-off state most of us are familiar with. When you shut down your computer, all your open programs close and the computer shuts down your operating system. A computer that's shut down uses almost no power. However, when you want to use your computer again, you'll have to turn it on and go through the typical boot-up process, waiting for your hardware to initialize and startup programs to load.
- Sleep: Also known as Sleep or Standby. In sleep mode, the computer enters a low-power state. Power is used to keep the computer's state in memory, but other parts of the computer are shut down and won't use any power. When you turn on the computer, it will snap back to life within just a few seconds. You won't have to wait for it to boot up – everything will be right where you left off. However, this uses more power than shutting down or hibernating your computer.
- Hibernate: Your computer saves its current state to your hard drive, essentially dumping the contents of its RAM into a file on its hard drive. When you boot up the computer, it will load the previous state from your hard drive into its RAM. This allows you to save your computer's state, including all your open programs and data, and come back to it later. It takes longer to resume from hibernate than sleep, but hibernate uses much less power than sleep. A computer that's hibernating uses about the same amount of power as a computer that's shut down.
If you put your computer to sleep and its battery becomes critically low, the computer will automatically go into hibernate mode to save your state.
When To Shut Down, Sleep, and Hibernate
Different people treat their computers differently. Some people always shut down their computers and never take advantage of the convenience of the sleep and hibernate states, while some people run their computers 24/7.
- When To Sleep: Sleep is particularly useful if you're stepping away from your computer for a small amount of time. You can put your computer to sleep to save electricity and battery power. When you need to use your computer again, you can resume from where you left off in just a few seconds. Your computer will always be ready to use when you need it.
- When To Hibernate: Hibernate saves more power than sleep. If you won't be using your computer for a while – say, if you're going to sleep for the night – you may want to hibernate your computer to save electricity and battery power. However, hibernate is slower to resume from. If you're hibernating or shutting down your computer every time you step away from it throughout the day, you may be wasting a lot of time waiting for it.
- When To Shut Down: Most computers will resume from hibernate faster than they will boot up from shut down, so most people will probably want to hibernate their laptops instead of shutting them down. However, some computers or software may not work properly when resuming from hibernate, in which case you'll want to shut down your computer instead. It's also a good idea to shut down (or at least restart) your computer occasionally – most Windows users have noticed that Windows needs an occasional reboot.
The exact amount of power used by sleep and hibernate will depend on the computer, although sleep mode generally uses just a few more watts than hibernate. Some people may opt to use sleep instead of hibernate so their computers will resume faster – while it does use marginally more electricity, it's surely more power efficient than leaving a computer running 24/7.
Hibernate is particularly useful to save battery power on laptops that aren't plugged in. if you want to take your laptop somewhere and you don't want to waste valuable battery power, you'll want to hibernate it instead of putting it to sleep.
Making Your Choice
Once you've made your choice, you can control what happens when you press the power button on your computer or close the lid on your laptop. To do so, press the Windows key, type Power buttons, and press Enter. You'll see the power button options in the Windows Control Panel. (On Windows 8, you'll need to click the Settings option on the search screen after typing Power buttons.)
You can modify your computer's power-saving options to control what it does automatically when you've left it idle. Consult our article on sleep vs. hibernate for more information.
Do you put your computer to sleep, hibernate it, shut it down, or just leave it running 24/7? Leave a comment and let us know!

The assignment discusses Toxic Metals in Cosmetic Eyeshadows. Besides, there is also a description of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. So, discuss why are metals present and how do they get in the product.
Toxic Metals in Cosmetic Eyeshadows – Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Description The paper needs to at least have an abstract, introduction, and experiment. The introduction should discuss lowend (hair store) vs high-end (sephora/MAC) stores, the chemistry behind the actual experiment and how it works. It should discuss the chemistry of how the metals are being stripped from the eyeshadow. The introduction should also discuss atomic absorption spectroscopy and how it works and its importance. The introduction should also discuss why are metals present and how do they get in the product. Also, for the sources, use the four attachments I have provided to cite the sources. You may also use more sources, if needed.
Toxic Metals in Cosmetic Eyeshadows – Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Chemical interferences arise from the formation of thermally stable compounds such as oxides in the flame. The use of electrothermal atomization, a hotter nitrous oxide-acetylene flame or the addition of a releasing agent such as lanthanum can help reduce the interference.

To involve means to connect. When you get involved in the Spanish Club, you attend meetings and events. If doing math well is involved in understanding advanced chemistry, that means it's a necessary part of it.
When someone is very involved, it means they are engaged or connected to a lot of activities. When someone is self-involved, all they connect with is him or herself. If getting ice cream involves walking a mile to the ice cream shop, the exercise offsets the indulgence. When no exercise is involved, it's less healthy.

An integrated research and design initiative to provide evidence of the human benefits of nearby nature experience in cities
The National Nature Sacred Awards Program, sponsored by the TKF Foundation, is pleased to announce that it will provide $4.5 million in funding for six projects of national significance. This grant program is unusual in that each project integrates landscape design and empirical research. The collection of exceptional spaces will demonstrate how nearby nature in the city can provide sacred and spiritual experiences. Each project will combine the creation of tranquil, restorative spaces in urban environments with rigorous study of their impact on users' well-being and resilience.
These examples of high quality design and research will elevate public awareness about the necessity and value of tranquil places where people can contemplate, reflect and be restored. Each of the Open Spaces Sacred Places projects align with the TKF Foundation's mission, treating human health and the environment as an integrated whole. Each project team will create a unique and engaging green space that is designed specifically for a human population having particular needs. Located across the United States, the collection of projects will address the challenges of local populations by creating opportunities for recovery, wholeness and celebration, and contribute rigorous research that confirms the benefits of experiencing nature in urban settings.
As earlier gardens were built, the TKF Foundation began to see certain design features emerge across Open Spaces Sacred Places. As designers and communities worked together to create their unique sacred spaces, certain elements contributed to the experience of sacred:
portal — When one passes through an archway, a gate, a stand of trees, a pergola, or other marker there is a clear movement from the space of everyday life and functioning. One enters a reflective space and encounters the fascinations of nature.
path — Whether linear and well-defined, or more meandering, a path allows one to focus attention and achieve a mindfulness about the surroundings. A path can ground one with the earth while offering a sense of connection to a greater reality that is sacredness.
destination — An appealing feature or end point draws in a person to the welcoming space. The sojourn, however brief, is rewarded by a feature that encourages quiet, fascination, joy, and spiritual connection with nature.
surround — Design elements — such as plantings, fencing, or trees — provide an encompassing sense of boundary, safety and enclosure within the Open Space Sacred Place. Portal, path and destination invite one to experience a space; the sense of surround ensures that one experiences a sense of being away and an emotional separation from the stress and challenges of life.
Each of the project gardens includes these four main elements. Yet there is variety within unity as each of the project teams responded to the unique landscape or social conditions within their community. One project is a nearly linear healing garden nestled within a ravine, while another is a totally constructed site within a tornado destruction zone. Most projects also include areas for sitting or walking, with opportunities to tend plants; engage and communicate with other users; and record individual experiences in a journal (required on every site).
Each of the six diverse — yet contemplative spaces — will target and engage an urban population in need. The expected users include residents within communities that have experienced natural disasters, wounded warriors struggling through rehabilitation and members of an inner city community working toward an economic rebound. In all instances, community-based planning was used to explore and then determine how the Open Space Sacred Place would reflect the unique resources and needs of the community. Some projects will also attempt to better understand how the process of collaborative planning and stewardship of open and sacred places can improve health and wellness.
Prior to this national grant program, the TKF Foundation had funded more than one hundred Open Spaces Sacred Places in the Washington D.C. to Baltimore, Maryland region. Once installed, these spaces became cherished and beloved by their communities. Each Open Space Sacred Place contains a signature bench and visitors are invited to write a journal entry while seated in the garden. All journal entries are collected and transcribed, and within the thousands of these impromptu comments one finds remarkable, heartfelt testimonials about the power of nature to transform, heal and bring clarity through reflection. Based on these frank and powerful sharings, the TKF Foundation decided to expand the geographic scope of its funding for sacred spaces and pursue the talents of scientists to more precisely describe how people respond to nearby nature that offers special meaning.
A national call for proposals suggested these goals for the research applications — summarized in Figure 1 :
Each project has identified a population or group of people that faces particular hardships or challenges. Past research indicates that experiences in nearby nature in cities can initiate immediate positive responses, sometimes noted by a person but often below consciousness. Rapid responses can be of both body (such as stress recovery) and mind (such as improved cognitive ability). Several teams will measure this initial response or experience and the direct effects of real time experiences of Open Spaces Sacred Places.
Immediate response to a nature site may have lingering effects after a person leaves, or may carry over between site visits. There can be secondary effects or responses of individuals or groups, and may include physical, emotional and mental well-being of the user due to their site-based experience. Some of the projects will study the durable changes or impacts on a person or small social groups. Some of the reported effects pertain to a general sense of mental or emotional health. Others address how nature experiences may serve as therapy for diagnosed conditions.
Residual effects of nature experience may have more extensive secondary influences in a person's life. Urban lifestyles are complex and people are called on to function in a variety of contexts. Some projects proposed research questions about carryover effects in the workplace, home, school and community.
There has been some effort to translate previously studied benefits of the human experience of nature to economic terms. Many studies have assessed the role of landscape, the presence of trees and improved property values (known as hedonic valuation). A few have explored reduced health care costs that are a result of more-active lifestyles and increased physical activity. Some of the projects will apply valuation approaches to their benefits findings to help demonstrate the economic implications of providing high-quality green spaces for people in urban settings.
Collectively, the six projects successfully addressed the TKF Foundation's desire to create a community of science intent upon studying and communicating the impact of open, sacred places on people's health, well-being and resilience. The six projects will not only provide tranquil spaces, but will also support and confirm the benefits derived by urban residents from immersion in open and natural environments that are programmed for human revitalization. Peer-reviewed articles will report the reliable and replicable research about how urban open, sacred places contribute to the health and spirituality of people in cities.
More than 80 percent of the U.S. population and more than 50 percent of the world's population lives in urbanized areas. Cities, rather than being regarded as ecological wastelands, are now seen as the most viable and energy efficient way to provide homes and jobs for ever-growing human populations. Once regarded as leftover spaces that were waiting to be converted to "highest and best" economic use, parks and open space are increasingly recognized as essential for urban livability and quality of life.
Urban designers and planners are comprehensively integrating ecology and nature into built environments using systems approaches, such as green infrastructure, low impact development and urban landscape ecology. Expenses for these efforts are justified by call outs of better air and water quality; reduced heat island effect; and reduced carbon emissions. Recent research has shown that careful design and maintenance of urban greening facilities can also provide human health and well-being benefits, such as stress recovery, improved mental health, faster healing and improved community situations, including lower crime rates.
Yet the American experience, perhaps more so than any other nation, includes the recognition and conservation of those grand natural areas that inspire awe and instill a deep, meaningful sense of the power of nature. Once limited to wild land and rural areas, more people who are committed to city living seek to find calm, serenity and restorative experiences within the city. There is an emergent understanding that even the smallest fragments of nearby nature have the power to engage, fascinate, and satisfy one's senses. The National Open Spaces Sacred Places design and research initiative will propel greater community commitments to creating those spaces that satisfy the soul. The research, in particular, may not be able to detect the intangibles of spirituality, but will provide evidence of the health and wellbeing consequences of nature's sacredness. The results will make a compelling case for how meaningful experiences of sacred should be part of community decision making about the necessary character and qualities of parks and green space investments.


The Lennard-Jones potential has the form:
The (attractive) $r^{-6}$ term describes the dispersion force (attraction at long range). Why is the power $-6$ rather than something else?
I think that it has to do with dipole-dipole interactions, but I am having difficulty working out the physics. Can you please help me?
I know that, at a distance $z$ away, the on-axis electric potential due to a dipole at the origin and aligned on the z-axis is given by:
$$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{p}{z^2}$$
where $p$ is the (magnitude of the) dipole moment.
But if there is an atom nearby, the dipole will induce a dipole on the atom. The induced dipole will in turn induce a dipole on the first dipole. Is it possible to classically derive the $r^{-6}$ dependence of the dispersion force? Thanks for your time.

 $\begingroup$ The $r^{-6}$ comes from the London dispersion force (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_dispersion_force) and the derivation of this is complicated. Googling for "derivation of london dispersion force" finds several promising looking articles, but they won't be easy reading! $\endgroup$ – John Rennie May 1 '13 at 17:30
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ OK, thanks. I was thinking that the derivation would involve a dipole-dipole interaction, but I guess it is more complicated than that. $\endgroup$ – Andrew May 1 '13 at 19:57

 $\begingroup$ _USER_ you are right it is essentially a dipole-dipole interaction but when averaging over all possible orientations the power of the decay changes from 2 to 6. $\endgroup$ – gatsu May 2 '13 at 11:00
The "simplest" classical explanation I know is the van der Waals interaction described by Keesom between two permanent dipoles. Let us consider two permanent dipoles $\vec{p}_1$ (located at $O_1$) and $\vec{p}_2$ located at $O_2$. Their potential energy of interaction is: \begin{equation} U(\vec{p}_1,\vec{p}_2,\vec{O_1 O_2}) = -\vec{p}_1\cdot \vec{E}_2 = -\vec{p}_2 \cdot \vec{E}_1 = -\frac{[3(\vec{p}_1\cdot\vec{u})(\vec{p}_2\cdot\vec{u})-\vec{p}_1\cdot \vec{p}_2]}{4\pi \epsilon_0 ||\vec{O_1 O_2}||^3} \end{equation} where $\vec{u}= \vec{O_1 O_2}/||\vec{O_1O_2}||$ and $\vec{O_1 O_2}$ is a vector going from $O_1$ to $O_2$.
Now, if the system is subject to thermal fluctuations then the dipoles can change their orientations according to a Boltzmann weight. If the time scale associated to the motion of the particles is much longer than the one associated to the dipole orientations then for each distance $r = ||\vec{O_1O_2}||$ on can trace over all the possible orientations.
The effective interaction between the dipoles is then characterized by the free energy of the system i.e. by:
\begin{equation} \mathcal{F}(r|p_1,p_2) \equiv -k_B T \ln \int \frac{d\Omega_1 d\Omega_2}{(4\pi)^2} \:e^{-\beta U(\vec{p}_1,\vec{p}_2,\vec{O_1 O_2})} \end{equation}
where $d\Omega_i$ is the solid angle element associated with the direction of dipole $\vec{p_i}$ and $\beta=1/k_B T$.
This quantity is super difficult to compute. However, if the dipoles are sufficiently far apart, their interaction energy is small and one may expand the exponential in powers of $\beta U$: \begin{eqnarray} \mathcal{F}(r|p_1,p_2) \approx -k_B T \ln \int \frac{d\Omega_1 d\Omega_2}{(4\pi)^2} && \times\\ && \:\left(1 \right.\\ && -\beta U(\vec{p}_1,\vec{p}_2,\vec{O_1 O_2}) \\ && \left.+\frac{1}{2}\beta^2 U(\vec{p}_1,\vec{p}_2,\vec{O_1 O_2})^2\right) \end{eqnarray}
The first integral $\int \frac{d\Omega_1 d\Omega_2}{(4\pi)^2} 1 $ is trivial and equal to $1$. The second integral of the potential is zero by symmetry (each dipole is as likely to be at either a positive or negative angle from $\vec{u}$ and the integral of a scalar product of two independent vectors is zero). The only remaining term is of order 2 in $\beta U$ which decays with $1/r^6$. At the end of the day we end up with something like: \begin{equation} \mathcal{F}(r|p_1,p_2) \approx -k_B T \ln \left(1+\beta^2\frac{C}{r^6} \right) \approx -\frac{C}{k_B T}\frac{1}{r^6} \end{equation} where
\begin{equation} C = \int \frac{d\Omega_1 d\Omega_2}{(4\pi)^2}\left( \frac{[3(\vec{p}_1\cdot\vec{u})(\vec{p}_2\cdot\vec{u})-\vec{p}_1\cdot \vec{p}_2]}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\right)^2 \end{equation} is a number not important in terms of physical insight.
What matters here is that the average value of the dipole-dipole interaction is zero while the first non zero term not to be zero is owing to fluctuations. This is roughly the rule with van der Waals like interactions which is that they are fluctuation driven (the same is true in the quantum case).
Remark: the previous derivation assumes that the interactions travel at infinite speed which is not true. When the limitation of the speed of light is introduced then at large distances, the van der Waals interaction decays as $1/r^7$.

 $\begingroup$ +1 Great answer. I have a small doubt : in the equation for the free energy what happens to the internal energy part. I see that you have just indicated the entropy part. $\endgroup$ – WYSIWYG Sep 16 '15 at 5:16
 - 1
 $\begingroup$ _USER_: what do you mean by "entropy part"? I have used the usual definition that the free energy is the log of the partition function; or are you referring to something else? $\endgroup$ – gatsu Sep 17 '15 at 8:04
 - 1
 $\begingroup$ I am sorry but you are mistaken. I am taking the log of the partition function i.e. $\ln Q = \ln \sum_i e^{-\beta E_i}$ which is minus the free energy. To see this do as follows: $-\ln Q = -\ln Q -\sum_i p_i \ln p_i + \sum_i p_i \ln p_i$, where the second equality is a tautology. Now, do not touch at the second Shannon entropy term and focus on the first one. We now relate $p_i$ and $Q$ via $p_i = e^{-\beta E_i}/Q$. Upon inserting this expression into the log of the first entropy we get $\sum_i p_i \beta E_i + \ln Q$ which gives $-kT \ln Q = F = \langle E \rangle -TS$, which what I used. $\endgroup$ – gatsu Sep 18 '15 at 10:50

Devices like the Amazon Echo are capable of doing a lot of great things, ranging from controlling your music, reminding you of important things, setting timers, and much more. One nice feature of Alexa devices like the Amazon Echo is the ability to control your television, and it works with several brands. One of these brands is DirecTV. But how do you get Alexa set up to control DirecTV?
To set up your Alexa device with DirecTV, you need to enable the DirecTV skill in your Alexa app by searching in the Skills section of the app for DirecTV. Select it, and choose to enable the skill. Select Finish Setup and let Alexa search for DirecTV. Finally, pick the DirecTV device you want to use.
But are there other ways to set up an Echo device with a DirecTV device? And what do you do if one or both of the websites are not working properly?
How to Use Alexa to Control DirecTV
There are multiple things you need to have before you can use Alexa with your DirecTV. For one, you need to have DirecTV already so you have something to control. Also, you need to have a device that is capable of connecting to DirecTV and using Alexa through it. The compatible devices are limited to Echo devices like the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show, and other Echo devices. You cannot, unfortunately, use Alexa through a computer or mobile phone to control DirecTV. You also need to sign up for an Amazon.com account to use your Alexa device, much less use it to control DirecTV.
An additional consideration is to make sure that DirecTV and your Alexa device are both connected to the same Wi-Fi connection.
Enable the DirecTV skill by searching in the Alexa app
The best way to get Alexa connected to your DirecTV is to use the Alexa app. You can find the Alexa app on various app stores for both phones and tablets, such as the Google Play Store for many Android devices or App Store for Apple iOS devices. Once it's downloaded and set up with at least one Echo, you can then get to work on downloading the DirecTV skill.
Open the Alexa app, tap the Menu icon, and then select the Skills section. Once here, select the Search option, and then enter DirecTV. Select the DirecTV skill, and then enable it. Once enabled, you will be made to follow certain prompts, until you are given the option to Finish Setup. Allow your Alexa app to search for DirecTV devices (make sure that the device you want to connect to is powered on and connected to your Wi-Fi router). This will take upwards of 20 seconds.
Once the Alexa app has discovered one or more DirecTV devices, select the DirecTV device you want to set up with Alexa, and then choose which Alexa device you would like to control your DirecTV device with.
Enable the DirecTV skill in the Music, Movies & Books section
Another method to find the DirecTV skill is to simply navigate to the Music, Movies & Books section. You can find this by clicking the Menu icon, and then selecting that section. Once you are there, you will be able to find the DirecTV skill. Enable it, and follow the same steps as discussed in the above paragraph.
Enable the DirecTV skill through the Alexa website
While the Alexa app is the typical method to connect Alexa to your DirecTV account, it is not the only method you can use to do it. You can access the Alexa website on your desktop or laptop computer, which works essentially the same as the Alexa app. Once you have enabled the DirecTV skill through the Alexa website, follow the same instructions and prompts that come up after the first method. You can also download the DirecTV skill through Amazon.com's website.
Enable a different Alexa device to work with DirecTV
If you want to use a separate Alexa device to control DirecTV, your Alexa app can set that up for you. You can either set up multiple Echoes at the same time during either of the above-mentioned setup methods, or you can select Set up a DIRECTV Device to set up more Alexa devices with your DirecTV device(s).
Why isn't Alexa connecting to DirecTV?
There are a variety of reasons why Alexa is not able to connect to DirecTV. One of the most common reasons is due to your Internet connection experiencing difficulties. For example, if your Internet is completely down for the count, your Echo will not be able to do anything with your DirecTV. This is because Alexa can only function when she has access to the Internet, even with simple commands that seem like they would not require an Internet connection. If you try to use Alexa while the Internet is down, she will say something like "I'm having trouble connecting right now."
The next thing to do would be to check if the issue is with your Alexa device, or if your Internet is the problem. This can be done by testing the Internet on other devices. So, for instance, if your phone or computer is doing fine with the Internet connection, for example, the problem is likely with the Echo itself. However, if the problem appears consistent with these devices, you'll have to troubleshoot your Wi-Fi router.
The first thing you should try with the troubleshooting process is to unplug the Wi-Fi router from the power source. Wait about 15 seconds, and then plug the router back in. This has the possibility of making the router reset and begin to work properly again. However, another issue is if you recently changed the name of the router or its password. If you did, you need to also update that information on your Echo, using the same method you used to connect it to the Internet.


Zmodo won't connect to WiFi (solved)
If you have a Zmodo camera that won't connect to Wi-Fi there's a quick fix.
Zmodo camera
Usually the issue with Internet connection is related to the frequency the camera is operating at. When your router works at 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, the Zmodo camera can associate itself to the wrong SSID (wireless signal name). But you can fix that.
Your Zmodo camera can't connect to the Internet
That's the first thing you usually notice. There's no Internet connection.
If the Zmodo camera doesn't connect to the wi-fi router, there's no way you can have access to the video stream through the Internet, so you need to make sure the camera can associate itself with your router.
The router and Zmodo camera frequency
A Zmodo camera can operate within the frequency of 2.4Ghz and some models can also operate within the 5Ghz. Make sure which model you are using.
Zmodo Wireless Frequency
Some models such as the Zmodo EZcam 720 HD wireless can only operate at the 2.4 Ghz and sometimes that's the reason it gets stuck when associating with the router that works with both frequencies.
If your router has both frequencies available and is using the same SSID (name of the signal your devices can associate with) the Zmodo camera can get confused.
How to solve the Zmodo Wifi connection problem
To solve the problem with the Wi-fi connection, just follow the steps:
 1. Access your wireless router settings;
 2. Look for the wireless settings menu;
 3. Find the wireless signal name (SSID);
 4. Rename the SSID for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (use different names);
 5. Open the security tab and make sure your router is using WPA or WPA2;
Let's say for example you have a Zmodo EZcam 720 HD that works only with the 2.4Ghz frequency but your router works with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies.
Just rename the router SSID signal to MySignal-2.4 and MySignal-5 for example.
Now that you have the SSID with different names just go your Zmodo camera and start the connection process again and choose the correct Wi-fi SSID.
The Zmodo camera password limitation
When using the WPA or WPA2 for Wi-Fi security it's necessary to enter a password to connect to the router. That's something universal.
The issue with some Zmodo cameras is that they allow you to type a maximum of 13 characters for a password, so if your router uses a long password it won't work.
Unfortunately, the solution is to change the router password. I know you probably won't like the idea, but it is what it is. So, go ahead and just change it.

Your smartphone is secretly accessed by your friends and family
New research has found that as many as one in five people have accessed a friend's smartphone, without that person's knowledge, Vice reported.
"Lunchtime attacks" can be avoided by using strong passwords, and keeping close tabs on your device. Still, 31 per cent of participants in an online survey looked through someone's device at least once in the past year.
Konstantin Beznosov, a UBC professor of electrical and computer engineering, co-authored the study.
"[It's] somebody who is from your social circle: like your friends, your relatives or maybe roommates and coworkers," said Beznosov. "They have more chances to have access to your phone, physically. For example, when you leave your phone to go to the washroom or when you leave it on your desk. They are in a much better position than strangers to actually access your phone without your permission."


(Minghui.org) A method of torture known as "Confining Clothes" is one of more than 100 different kinds of torture techniques the Chinese Communist Party uses on Falun Gong practitioners.
Such clothes, which tighten whenever the person moves, are used to restrain people with mental illnesses, in much the same way "straight jackets" have been used in mental hospitals in the West.
In China, confining clothes are made of canvas. They are put on from the front and tightened in the back. The sleeves are about 25 cm long with a ribbon attached to each end. This form of torture can cause fractures of the shoulders, wrists, and elbows; spinal fractures; or even death.
Torture illustration: Confining clothes
This form of torture was first used on Falun Gong practitioners in the Hunan Third Forced Labor Camp (also known as the Xuchang Forced Labor Camp). It was used to try to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their belief and "reform."
The guards put the confining clothes on practitioners, pull their arms behind their backs, and tie them in place with rope. They tie their legs and then hang the practitioners from the window bars.

Advvy's Workflow Engine and Task Management solution supercharges new and existing D365 and PowerApps apps with task management capabilities. A major limitation of D365 is that an entity generally can only have 1 business process header, and that business process is generally linear.
Advvy's Workflow Engine enables users to define their own business process - that is a series of Stages, Tasks and Subtasks, and have this workflow template deployed against an entity upon create. Each task can be predefined to be for a User, a role, role speciality and tasks can block tasks and be blocked by tasks. The entity will then have a new Tab called Workflow, and this entity will allow the users of the application to manage the stages and tasks. Tasks can have conditions and dependencies, and can be a trigger for Flow in PowerAutomate. Business processes can be competed either linear or non-linear.

Difference Wiki
Efflorescent vs. Hygroscopic
The main difference between Efflorescent, and Hygroscopic is that Efflorescent materials do not absorb water, while the Hygroscopic materials do not provide an aqueous solution, but they usually absorb water vapor.
Key Differences
The efflorescent materials are regarded as solids that go through spontaneous water loss from some hydrated salts; at the same time, the hygroscopic substances are referred to as solids that absorb or adsorb water and form a clump.
Janet White
Sep 11, 2022
A considerable amount of affinity for water is present by efflorescent materials; on the flip side, a very less amount of affinity is contained by hygroscopic substances.
In efflorescent materials, a solution is not established; on the contrary, in hygroscopic materials, a solution is not formed, but they absorb water vapor.
Water is not entirely absorbed by efflorescent elements; on the flip side, the water may be absorbed or adsorbed by hygroscopic substances.
Efflorescent contents are generally present in surroundings as crystals; on the flip side, humectants are known as the second name for hygroscopic.
Comparison Chart
.
The process in which salt is present in a porous material is firstly dissolved by absorbed water and then transferred to the porous surface where forms precipitation out of the solution is known as efflorescent.
The process in which the substance absorbs water from its surrounding environment and absorb enough to clomp together is known as hygroscopic.

Efflorescent vs. Hygroscopic
Efflorescent substances are also considered as solids that undergo natural loss of water from hydrated salts. On the flip side, the hygroscopic is considered as solids that mainly adsorb or absorb water from its surrounding environment.
The water is not absorbed by efflorescent materials, whereas the water is either adsorb or absorb by hygroscopic substances. Efflorescent is present as crystals, while the hygroscopic materials are also known as humectants.
The efflorescent materials consist of a considerable attraction towards the water; on the other hand, the hygroscopic materials contain a little affinity towards water. Thorugh the absorption of water vapor, a solution is not provided by efflorescent materials; on the flip side, a solution is not produced by hygroscopic substances, but they absorb water vapor.
The example of efflorescence in which a compound go through this is washing soda. At the same time, the cases of hygroscopic substances are copper oxide, sodium trioxonitrate, and quick lime (CaO).
What is Efflorescent?
The solids which go through the natural water loss from specific hydrated salts (inorganic salts having water molecules mixed in a defined ratio). These salts can lose molecules of water when exposed to the outside are known as efflorescent substances, and this whole process is known as efflorescence.
The process of efflorescent happens when the liquid-vapor pressure of the hydrate becomes higher than the partial pressure of the water vapors ordinarily present in the air. The examples are, 10H2O, FeSO4, Na2CO3, Na2SO4, and 10H2O, while the most common example of efflorescence is aeration of cement. Washing soda is also the example that goes through efflorescence in which its molecules usually lose nine of its units out of its total ten crystallized water molecules when taken into the open air.
What is Hygroscopic?
The solids which absorb moisture from the surrounding environment but would not produce a solution is known as hygroscopic substance, and they consume enough to form a clamp. The process of Hygroscopy usually results in the change of physical features of the hygroscopic materials, which includes boiling, color, viscosity, point, etc.
Salts are the most common examples of hygroscopic substances. There are present some other hygroscopic compounds as well, which include silica gel, germinating seeds, honey, etc. Examples of hygroscopic materials are copper oxide, sodium trioxonitrate, zinc chloride, sodium chloride, quick lime (CaO), and sodium hydroxide.

FDA simulates the spread of AIDs with paper cups and acidic fluid
Wednesday, February 25, the East's Future Doctors of America Club (FDA) gathered in F084 for one of their last meetings of the 2008-09 school year.
Liz Kim ('09), current President of FDA, opened the meeting with a short discussion about the upcoming elections for next year's officer positions, which will be held on April 22.
The topic of today's meeting was the spreading epidemic, AIDS. The club planned an experiment called "A Ten Minute Epidemic," to further the members' understanding of the rapidly spreading epidemic. After signing in, the 27 club attendees listened to a brief history of AIDS. Then, each student received a paper cup with a number on the bottom filled with an acidic fluid. The students were to travel around the room and exchange fluids with five other students, each time recording the number of the cup fluid they obtained. After about fifteen minutes of simulated AIDS infecting, Kim walked around with an indicator base fluid, putting a drop into all of the students' cups. The fluids that turned pink were "infected" and the fluids remaining clear were clean. The club members were able to identify the cup origin of the virus just by recording who shared acid fluid with whom.
Kim said she tries to make the club fun, rather than just having members sit through lectures on medicine. Last November, FDA went to the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia and learned about anatomy and human medical anomalies. The club also recently played medical Jeopardy to test the students' knowledge on different diseases and medical fields.
"We tried to change it up a little and it worked," said Kim.
The club offers both a social and an educational aspect.
"Each time we learn something new. [The club] introduces you to different medical fields," said Catherine Yu ('11).
Through countless bake sales, FDA has over $400 and plans to purchase t-shirts, which will be distributed to dedicated members who have attended over half of the meetings.
FDA's next meeting will be March 18, with a plastic surgeon guest speaker, a speaker Kim considers different from speakers FDA has featured in the past.

Minnesota Department of Transportation EnvironMentor Systems
This project developed a comprehensive, multimedia "expert system" on CD-ROM that enables novices and professionals to become knowledgeable and successful in selecting appropriate plants for challenging roadside sites and landscapes in Minnesota. This interactive system helps educate users to avoid common, costly, and hazardous mistakes in landscaping. It saves time, money, and resources in making informed decisions that contribute to improved success and more sustainable landscape systems. The database correlates 650 woody and herbaceous plants with up to 49 distinct fields of query information, multiple color photos of each plant's distinguishing characteristics, and Minnesota range maps for native woody plants. The project team formed numerous collaborations and partnerships to develop this product while ensuring cost-effectiveness and the opportunity to make future project development self-sustaining. The efforts of this group and the use of this "expert system" have influenced improved transportation and the general landscaping plant selection, restoration, and management in Minnesota.

Identification of Underwater Species Using Condition-Based Ensemble Supervised Learning Classification
Keywords:R-CNN, underwater images, fish species, deep learning, acquiring fish body images, segment, morphological
The aim of this research paper is to use deep learning and R-CNN features with open cv tools to detect and recognize different fish species from underwater images. The RCNN method uses a selective search algorithm to extract the top 2000 region proposals from millions of Regions of Interest (RoI) proposals in an image, which is then inputted to a CNN model for further analysis. The deep learning approach used for fish recognition achieved 85% accuracy. The focus of this study is on fish recognition in a natural lake to aid in preserving the original environment. To achieve this, the paper proposes a scheme for segmenting fish images and measuring their morphological features using R-CNN. The process starts with acquiring fish body images using a homemade image acquisition device, preprocessing and labeling the images, and then training the R-CNN model with the labeled images. The fish images are segmented using the trained model, enabling the extraction of morphological characteristics that serve as indicators of the fish.

ECU geography poster details hurricane phenomena
(Dec. 4, 2003)
A poster about the particulars of hurricanes was developed this year by East Carolina University's Department of Geography and the student organization Geoclub. The poster, "Tempests from the Tropics: Atlantic & Gulf Coast Hurricanes," was produced by ECU students as part of an annual project designed to educate the public about issues in current events. The free map will be available in area schools, public libraries and Barnes & Noble Booksellers.
In the past two years, faculty and students worked together to produce and distribute map posters on Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively. This year, the group chose to design an informational poster on hurricanes because of the traumatic impact that these events have on life in North Carolina.
"This is particularly the case in light of the continuing aftermath of Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and the more recent damage caused by Hurricane Isabel in 2003," said ECU Geography professor Derek Alderman.
Made with state of the art geospatial data and technology, the poster contains graphic illustrations and photographs and explains how hurricanes form, how much death and property damage they can cause, how they are named and why hurricanes take the unique geographic path they do toward North Carolina.

Sanctuary Vegetation Monitoring
We monitor plants on Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuaries because they are a critical barometer of ecological changes and are often a target of our management activities.
Vegetation refers to the suite of plants that cover a particular site. The term encompasses all life forms of plants, from sphagnum bogs through old growth forests. Vegetation could be broad leaved or coniferous trees, shrubs, grasses, ferns, and mosses.
Natural ecological communities are usually labeled by their major plant species because plants are basic structuring elements upon which all other life depends. Thus red maple or Atlantic White Cedar swamp communities are defined by the dominance of those trees, and a northern hardwood forest community by particular species of hardwood trees.
Massachusetts is blessed with a variety of interesting natural plant communities.
- The higher elevations of the Berkshires support forests of spruce and fir, a plant community more typical of northern Maine and central Canada.
- Many of Mass Audubon's wildlife sanctuaries in the central and western part of the state are dominated by Sugar Maples, Yellow Birch, American Beech, and Canadian Hemlock.
- As you go further east, oaks and hickory dominate as they do through much of southern New England and the mid Atlantic states.
- There are large acreages of pine barrens in the southeast corner of the state.
- As with the forests, Massachusetts wetlands are similarly diverse and include sphagnum bogs, fens, red maple swamps cattail marshes, and salt marshes.

When we in NYC talk about 'the Holidays', we mean the period from late November to New Year's Day.
'Holiday' in the singular can refer to anything from Easter to 'Talk Like a Pirate Day', depending on the person.
'Vacation' usually means a trip of at least a week away from your home base. As I understand it, the term came into being during the 19th century. During the hot months, wealthy people would close down their town houses. Women and children would be sent off to cooler, relaxing places such as the Catskills or Eastern end of Long Island. men continued to see to business. During the week they boarded at their Clubs and visited their families on the weekends.
This was the time that major repairs and cleaning could be done to the city house without discomfort to the family. Because the house was vacated. The summer became known as 'Vacation' and the term filtered into general use.

LANCASTER, PA – Armstrong Ceilings has created an interactive Environmental Impact Calculator on its Web site to demonstrate the difference that recycling old ceiling tiles can make.
By simply entering the number of square feet of ceilings to be recycled, visitors are able to view the environmental impact, including the pounds of waste diverted from landfills, tons of virgin raw materials saved, kilowatt hours of energy saved, gallons of potable water saved, and kilograms of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gases avoided.
The Calculator can also display the impact in terms of everyday analogies, such as the number of tires diverted from landfills, pounds of carry-on luggage not carried on, months of electricity needed to power a home, loads of laundry not washed, and miles not driven.
An Alternative to Landfill Disposal
Armstrong introduced the industry's first ceiling recycling program in 1999. Since that time, the company, working in conjunction with its customers, has recycled more than 80,000,000 square feet of discarded ceiling tiles. This represents more than 11,000 dumpsters full of construction waste that would have normally been taken to landfills.
The closed-loop program enables building owners to ship ceilings from renovation projects to an Armstrong ceiling plant as an alternative to landfill disposal. As part of the program, the company even pays freight costs for shipping the old ceilings, which it uses as raw materials in the manufacture of new ceilings.

Systems analysis of the bistable transfer competence pathway of a prokaryotic integrative and conjugative element
The major aim of my project is to obtain a systems level understanding of the bistable transfer competence (tc) pathway of the integrative and conjugative element ICEclc in Pseudomonas knackmussii and Pseudomonas putida. In particular, my goal is to understand the switch that generates bistability and the network configuration that mediates bistability maintenance and robustness. I focus on the mathematical conditions that result in bistability and try to predict from there the biological players. I also build deterministic and stochastic models for other projects in the lab, such as chemotaxis and colony growth.

I'm trying to plot an implicit function satisfying a complex transcendental equation. The code is the following:
ContourPlot[(e (-1 + e^2) l (-3 + 2 e^2 - l^2) Cosh[2 Sqrt[1 - e^2]] +
 (-1 + e^2) (-1 + l^2) (e l Cos[2] - I (1 + l^2) Sin[2]) + Sqrt[1 - e^2]
 (I - I l^4 - 2 e (-2 + e^2) l Sqrt[-e^2 + l^2]) Sinh[2 Sqrt[1 - e^2]]) == 0,
 {l, 1, 2}, {e, -2, 2}]
I need a real solution of e as a function of l and also e<=Min{1,l}. I don't know why it's empty in the plot. I don't think it's because the solution is out of the range since I tried l=1, and there are several solutions, one of which is e = 0. Thus I think there must be something wrong with the plot.

1 Answer 1
Your expression is not real, but complex. Think about how you want to turn your expression real. The documentation states
At positions where f does not evaluate to a real number, holes are left so that the background to the contour plot shows through.
So what you probably want is to test Abs[f[..]]==0 which gives you the lines where the whole left side vanishes. Unfortunately, they are not in your plot region. Therefore, take a look at this and hover with the mouse over the region borders to see the iso-value.
f[l_, e_] := (e (-1 + e^2) l (-3 + 2 e^2 - l^2) Cosh[
 2 Sqrt[1 - e^2]] + (-1 + e^2) (-1 + l^2) (e l Cos[2] -
 Sqrt[1 - e^2] (I - I l^4 - 2 e (-2 + e^2) l Sqrt[-e^2 + l^2]) Sinh[
 2 Sqrt[1 - e^2]]);
ContourPlot[Abs[f[l, e]], {l, 1, 2}, {e, -2, 2}]

Thanks for answering. I don't quite understand why only the real part of function is zero. The equation is complex does not mean the solution of e has to be complex, right? – Knightq Oct 18 '13 at 4:18
I see what you mean, but this does not equivalent to the original equation anymore. I try Im[f]==0, the solution is different. Seems like my equation is problematic.. – Knightq Oct 18 '13 at 4:24
I just wanted to point out where the issue lies. You don't have to (and probably shouldn't) use Re. What you want is probably Abs[f[l,e]] but this is for you to decide. – halirutan Oct 18 '13 at 4:26
Thanks a lot, I see where I got wrong. And it seems to me that ContourPlot ignores isolated solution, doesn't it? – Knightq Oct 18 '13 at 6:52

A tribotester with an integrated load sensor based on a strain gauge is typically used to measure the friction coefficient generated by the contact-related sliding motion of two objects. Since the friction coefficient is obtained by dividing the measured friction force by the applied normal force, the normal and friction forces must be measured for accurate analysis. In this study, a tribotester was used to measure the displacement of a cantilever tip using the fiberoptic sensor in a non-contact method. The friction coefficient measurement using the fiberoptic sensor was proven to be valid by calibrating the tip displacement due to normal/friction forces after designing a basic structural cantilever tip based on experiments and simulation analyses. The results obtained by using the fiberoptic sensor-cantilever tip-based tribotester were compared with those obtained using commercial and/or custom-built tribotesters under the same conditions. By designing various shapes of cantilever tips and using simulation analysis, the calibrations of the normal/friction forces and tip displacement could be verified and the coupling effect was evaluated. The performance and reliability of the fiberoptic sensor-cantilever tip-based tribotester, which can be used to determine the normal/friction forces by non-contact displacement measurements without a strain gauge, were verified.

In patients with lower extremity wounds, free tissue transfer is often the last option before amputation, making it crucial to optimize preoperative planning in order to prevent flap breakdown. No consensus exists regarding preoperative vascular work ups before lower extremity free tissue transfer. Here we analyzed the utility of using arteriography for lower extremity free flap planning.Methods:
A retrospective review was performed of 57 patients who underwent lower extremity arteriography and 59 free flap operations for lower extremity wounds between November 2014 and August 2017. Findings were used to guide flap recipient vessel selection. Arterial pathology was addressed via endovascular intervention, where appropriate. Encountered pathology was described and patient demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes were analyzed for correlation with abnormal angiographic studies.Results:
Angiographic abnormalities were observed in 40 patients (67.8%), including 23 (57.5%) with stenosis/occlusion, 20 (50.0%) with atretic/non-visualized vessels, and 11 (27.5%) requiring endovascular intervention. Stenosis/occlusion was detected in 9 patients (15.3%) with no previously known arterial disease, leading to a new diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease. Flap survival rate was 98.3%, 6 patients (10.2%) ultimately progressed to amputation, and 53 patients (89.8%) were able to continue community ambulation at a mean follow-up time of 15.1 months (SD 9.51, range 1.67–35.2). After arteriography, 2 patients (3.39%) suffered contrast-induced acute kidney injury. No other complications were noted.Conclusions:
Preoperative lower extremity arteriography aids in the diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease, allows for timely endovascular intervention, and allows for optimal flap recipient vessel selection with a low complication rate.


I am looking at servos to make a robot claw, and I want to make sure the one i am getting can turn under a specific amount of weight. The servos specify their torque in oz-in. I am not sure how to read this.
What i need to know is, how to I convert oz-in into the specific weight it can withstand in lbs.
If you are not familiar with the unit of measurement:
1 oz-in = 0.00706 Nm
if you are not familiar with torque:
1 Nm torque translates to 1N of force at a radial distance from the shaft of the motor of 1 m. As 1N gravitational force corresponds to an approx. 0.1kg weight, 1 Nm torque can lift* 0.1kg weight 1m away from the shaft, or 1 kg weight 0.1m away from the shaft.
*Lift in this case means that if such weight is attached to the rotor, the rotor would be in equilibrium, less weight then this would start to rotate.
 - $\begingroup$ So, if i had a length of 2M with 1Nm, would that make 0.5N? _USER_ $\endgroup$ – X Builder Oct 21 '20 at 22:54
 - $\begingroup$ exactly, 2m radial distance, 0.5N $\endgroup$ – 50k4 Oct 21 '20 at 23:06

Jersey (JAX-RS) Java types to consume request parameter values guide
In Jersey (JAX-RS), to consume HTTP request parameter, cookie, header, path variable and matrix parameter string values, we have following options:
 1. Primitive types – int, char, float, long, double, byte and others.
 2. Types with constructor which accepts single String argument.
 3. Types with a static method with name valueOf or fromString which accepts single String argument. For e.g. Integer.valueOf(String) or java.util.UUID.fromString(String).
 4. Types with implementation of ParamConverterProvider JAX-RS extension SPI which return ParamConverter instance. ParamConverter require fromString method implementation, which takes single String argument and convert that to return a specific type. ParamConverterProvider implementation should be registered as provider with Jersey.
 5. List, Set or SortedSet of types defined above. When we expect parameters to have multiple values for same name, we should use these collection.
In this guide we will see examples to create custom Java classes and use them to consume HTTP request parameter values.
Implementation of ParamConverterProvider JAX-RS extension can be used to consume parameters values into existing util classes like Date or LocalDateTime or custom types.
This is a part of Jersey (JAX-RS) Restful Web Services Development Guides series. Please read Jersey + Spring Boot getting started guide.
Java type with single String argument constructor to consume request parameters values
File: ConstructorDateParamModel.java
package in.geekmj.model;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.format.DateTimeParseException;
/**
 *
 * @author geekmj
 * DateParamModel is a class with a constructor with one String Argument
 * We can use it as custom type for mapping request parameters, cookies or headers values
 */
public class ConstructorDateParamModel {
 private String dateAsString;
 /* Expecting ISO-8601 format date string */
 public ConstructorDateParamModel(String dateAsString) {
 this.dateAsString = dateAsString;
 }
 public LocalDateTime getDate() {
 LocalDateTime dateTime = null;
 try {
 dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(dateAsString, DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE_TIME);
 } catch (DateTimeParseException ex) {
 System.err.println("Conversion of dateAsString: " + dateAsString + " using ISO date time failed.");
 }
 try {
 dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(dateAsString, DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE);
 } catch (DateTimeParseException ex) {
 System.err.println("Conversion of dateAsString: " + dateAsString + " using ISO date failed.");
 }
 return dateTime;
 }
}
Above ConstructorDataParamModel can use as type for consuming HTTP request parameter and other values. It has a single String argument constructor. Constructor String argument expected here in ISO Date format. This value parsed with method LocalDateTime.parse(String dateAsString, DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE) in another method getDate, which return LocalDateTime object. When String value is not in ISO Date format, getDate return null value.
Java Type with static method valueOf or fromString to consume request parameters values
File: StaticMethodDateParamModel.java
package in.geekmj.model;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.format.DateTimeParseException;
/**
 *
 * @author geekmj
 * DateParamModel is a class with a static method valueOf with one String
 * Argument. We can use it as custom type for mapping request parameters,
 * cookies or headers values.
 */
public class StaticMethodDateParamModel {
 private String dateAsString;
 public StaticMethodDateParamModel() {
 }
 public String getDateAsString() {
 return dateAsString;
 }
 public void setDateAsString(String dateAsString) {
 this.dateAsString = dateAsString;
 }
 public LocalDateTime getDate() {
 LocalDateTime dateTime = null;
 try {
 dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(dateAsString, DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE_TIME);
 } catch (DateTimeParseException ex) {
 System.err.println("Conversion of dateAsString: " + dateAsString + " using ISO date time failed.");
 }
 try {
 dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(dateAsString, DateTimeFormatter.ISO_DATE);
 } catch (DateTimeParseException ex) {
 System.err.println("Conversion of dateAsString: " + dateAsString + " using ISO date failed.");
 }
 return dateTime;
 }
 /*
 * Expecting ISO-8601 format date string
 *
 */
 public static StaticMethodDateParamModel valueOf(String dateAsString) {
 StaticMethodDateParamModel staticMethodDateParamModel = new StaticMethodDateParamModel();
 staticMethodDateParamModel.setDateAsString(dateAsString);
 return staticMethodDateParamModel;
 }
}
Above StaticMethodDateParamModel can use as type for consuming HTTP request parameter and other values. It has a single String argument method valueOf which return StaticMethodDateParamModel instance. Similar to previous class we have getDate method here.

public class DateParamModel {
 private String dateAsString;
 public String getDateAsString() {

Our team is working on a model editor based on JME and we are using the XMLExporter to create the project files.
The XMLExporter uses DOMOutputCapsule to write each Savable object, in particular Vector3f instances.
When a Spatial is saved, the "transform" object is saved and if its "translation" (vector3f instance) is (0,0,0), it isn't written in the XML output (I suppose to save space).
The problem happens when we read the XML file to load the saved project:
The XMLImporter uses DOMInputCapsule to read the Spatial and create the "transform", but it won't find any "translation" vector so it will load the default one, which is Vector3f.ZERO. You can see this in com.jme3.math.Transform#read:
translation = (Vector3f)capsule.readSavable("translation", Vector3f.ZERO);
This behaviour is heavily wrong as every Spatial will have the same translation vector (ie. Vector3f.ZERO) and will cause several bugs as Vector3f.ZERO mustn't be edited at all.
The solution is pretty easy, just replace the previous line with:
translation = (Vector3f)capsule.readSavable("translation", new Vector3f(0,0,0));
or maybe you can also use Vector3f.ZERO.clone().
Until the official fix, our workaround is a field reflection.
Hope to be helpful,
