Summary
Background. Skin ageing is a continuous process, with intrinsic factors determining which extrinsic factors (chronic sun exposure and other environmental factors, particularly smoking) have the greatest effect.
Aim. To investigate the effects of lifestyle and environmental factors on skin ageing in a Mediterranean population from Ankara, Turkey.
Methods. In total, 574 (337 women, 237 men; age range 18–89 years) were enrolled into the study. Data were collected on age, gender, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), skin phototype, smoking status, consumption of alcohol (> 3 units/week) and coffee (> 1 cup/day), sun exposure, use of sunscreen and sunglasses, and involvement in sports and physical activities. The Daniell skin-wrinkling grading system was used as a marker of skin ageing.
Results. We found that male gender, chronic sun exposure and number of pack-years of cigarette smoking significantly contributed to the formation of facial wrinkles. There was a negative correlation between facial wrinkling and the use of sunscreen and sunglasses and facial wrinkling (P < 0.001 for both). We did not find any significant association between wrinkling score and alcohol consumption, coffee consumption, sports participation or d skin phototype. Moreover, wrinkling score was significantly higher in patients with a BMI < 25 kg/m2 than in patients with a BMI > 25 kg/m2 (P < 0.018). Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted after adjusting for age, gender, smoking status, alcohol consumption, skin phototype, sun exposure, and use of sunglasses and topical sun protection. We found that gender and age were significantly associated with skin ageing (P < 0.014 and < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusion. In this study, older age, male gender, low BMI, smoking and chronic sun exposure had a negative influence on skin ageing in a Turkish population.


config>
</Configuration>
After making and saving the changes to the SiteRemoteServer.config file you need to restart the SiteRemote Server service in the Microsoft Management Console for Windows Services (services.msc).
Now its time to create and place the .csv file with your LDAP user list at the location you specified in the SiteRemote configuration file. Note that the file only needs to contain the LDAP users you actually want to use with SiteRemote and not all LDAP users in your domain. Each line of the .csv file represents one LDAP user. The syntax is as follows:
[<oldusername>],<username>,<team>,<role(s)>,[<group(s)>]
oldusername is optional and required if you want to rename a user and keep this user's assignments within a SiteRemote team. This can be useful due to a name change because of marriage for example. oldusername then specifies the existing name of the user and username would contain the new one. Providing a name in this field is optional, if you don't provide a name you still need to write the comma to separate this field from the next. Note that user names must be unique, each user name can only be used once.
username specifies the name of the user. This field is required. Note that user names must be unique, each user name can only be used once.
team specifies the SiteRemote team name you want to assign the user to. This field is required.
role(s) (optional since SiteRemote Server 5.2 or higher) specifies the role or roles that you want to assign to the user. The role names of the default roles are language specific and depend on the language that was assigned at the time the team was created. For example the default roles for English are Administrator, User and Guest, in German they are Administrator, Benutzer and Gast. Other roles can be created and individually named in a SiteRemote team under Administration -> User Roles. If you want to assign more than one role you need to use quotation marks and separate each role by a comma.
group(s) is optional and only available with SiteRemote Server 5.2 or higher. You can assign LDAP users to groups you have created. If you want to assign more than one group you need to use quotation marks and separate each group by a comma. Note that each user will be automatically assigned to the Everyone group of a SiteRemote team.
Generally quotation marks are recommended to be used for each field. Here is an example of how the file can look like:
,"LDAPuser1","team1","Administrator"
,"LDAPuser2","team1","Guest"
,"LDAPuser3","team2","Administrator"
,"LDAPuser4","team2","User,Team2Role1,Team2Role2"
"LDAPuser5","LDAPuser7","team2","Guest"
,"LDAPuser6","team3","Administrator","Admin Group"
Note that the empty lines between the teams are not required, yet they can be used to better visualize assignments for different teams.
Each time you edit and save the .csv file or overwrite the existing file with a new one, the changes are applied.
To remove a user, simply delete the line from the .csv file and save it. The following would remove LDAPuser4 from team2:
,"LDAPuser1","team1","Administrator"
,"LDAPuser2","team1","Guest"
,"LDAPuser3","team2","Administrator"
,"LDAPuser7","team2","Guest"
,"LDAPuser6","team3","Administrator","Admin Group"
To remove all LDAP users from a team, just remove them all from the file. Placing an empty file will remove all LDAP users from all teams. The next example will remove all LDAP users from team2:
,"LDAPuser1","team1","Administrator"
,"LDAPuser2","team1","Guest"
,"LDAPuser6","team3","Administrator","Admin Group"
In case you want to assign a group but no role, the line would look like this:
,"LDAPuser6","team3",,"Admin Group"
Status messages regarding the processing of the file can be found in the SiteRemote server log file. The file SiteRemote.log can be found under ..\PROVISIO\SiteRemote\Log.
For full functionality the LDAP user authentication requires SiteKiosk Android 2.2 or higher or SiteKiosk Windows 8.9 or higher. Older versions cannot be registered with the SiteRemote server using an LDAP user.
In case you are using the TerminalCommander tool please make sure you are using the version that comes with SiteRemote Server 5.1 or higher.
Please note that the AutoRegister tool does not support LDAP users due to technical limitations.
How to Delete HTML5 Web Storage Content
HTML5 Web Storage is intended to store content locally on a PC for longer periods, e.g. for working offline. The web page/web app that stores the content is responsible for deleting it as well, therefore SiteKiosk does not delete Web Storage content by design.
In case you come across a project, where you can't influence the behaviour of a web page that uses Web Storage but need to delete the content nonetheless, you may use the scripting options of SiteKiosk to handle that situation.
The following script makes use of the OnReset and OnScreenSaverBegin events of the SiteKiosk Object Model to trigger deleting the Web Storage content. OnReset fires when a person hits the logout button of SiteKiosk or when a Pay session runs out. OnScreenSaverBegin fires once the screensaver starts. Note that deleting the Web Storage requires a restart of SiteKiosk to also clear the Web Storage content from the currently running instance of the browser. This means that the screensaver will only run for the time we define as the wait time for the content deletion to happen, if we use the OnScreenSaverBegin event. Please consider this fact for your project.
Next we need to wait a few seconds to let SiteKiosk run through the default processes that happen if any of the above events occur. To make SiteKiosk wait, we use the AddDelayedEvent method.
The next step is to actually delete the Web Storage content. For that we use the FileSystemObject of Windows Scripting. Be aware that the location of the folder (C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStore) that needs to be deleted is user sensitive. Make sure to use the path that is appropriate for the user you run SiteKiosk under. In most cases SiteKiosk will run under the restricted SiteKiosk Windows user, therefore the script we are building uses the path suitable for this environment: C:\Users\SiteKiosk\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStore.
The final step is to make a restart of SiteKiosk. Without the restart the current browser instance will still use a cached version of the Web Storage content.
The script looks like this:
//Initializing the events we want to use to delete Web Storage
SiteKiosk.OnReset = WaitBeforeDelete;
SiteKiosk.ScreenSaver.OnScreenSaverBegin = WaitBeforeDelete; //Note that using the screensaver event will basically stop the screensaver from running longer than the wait time defined below, because of the required SiteKiosk restart.
function WaitBeforeDelete()
{
 //Give SiteKiosk some time to run through its default session end/screensaver activation methods
 evtid = SiteKiosk.Scheduler.AddDelayedEvent(5000, DeleteWebStorage);
}
function DeleteWebStorage(eventID)
{
 try
 {
 //Deleting the folder with the help of the FileSystemObject
 var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
 fso.DeleteFolder("C:\\Users\\SiteKiosk\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\DOMStore", true);
 SiteKiosk.Logfile.Notification("Deleting the Web Storage content was successful");
 //Required restart to clear the Web Storage from the temporary cache of the current browser instance
 SiteKiosk.Restart();
 }
 catch (e)
 {
 //Create a SiteKiosk logfile entry in case something goes wrong
 SiteKiosk.Logfile.Notification("There was an error deleting the Web Storage content: " + e.description);
 }
}
Save the script under any name as a

A sea of tulips is blooming at Sherwood High School. Now the agriculture students who planted the bulbs are eager to make a sale.
Last November, the Intro to Agriculture class taught by Liberty Seal planted 2,700 tulip bulbs at Sherwood High School's greenhouse. Barb Iverson and Karen Bever of Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn were on hand to supervise as 35 students prepared soil and pots for tulips with names like Maja and Purple Dream.
The tulip project is the brainchild of Seal, who teaches agriculture science in the school's Career and Technical Education Department. Seal called the tulip project significant because it is the first group of Sherwood students to plant perennials with industry guidance. It is also the high school's first planting project started solely by Intro to Agriculture students.
Each student in Seal's class is a member of the Sherwood chapter of Future Farmers of America (FFA). Describing it as an intracurricular program, Seal said the students can apply the agriculture and leadership lessons learned in classes to their own FFA projects called Supervised Agricultural Experiences.

Learn the ins and outs of how to learn tattoo cover up. From the proper techniques for using makeup to create a realistic large tribal tattoo cover up, to finding out what you can do prior to receiving your tattoo cover up lesson. This post is a great resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about this art form.
1) You need Light skin powder paint, semi-opaque or translucent powder, and oil-based pigment (optional). If you buy these items separately they are called "powder foundation," "setting power," "blush," and "concealer." These items can be found at your local drug store or purchased online as well.
2) Prep a tight face by washing it with an oil-based cleanser (no soap, please), using a skin toner, and then moisturizing. Then you can apply the powder foundation, setting power (optional), blusher (optional), or concealer using the following method:
– First apply powder foundation to any problem areas like dark circles under the eyes or blemishes.
– For stick-out areas like eyebrows and lips, add blush/concealer over the foundation. Blend it in well on skin that has already been powdered, but not much is needed if you're looking to hide blemishes and other things in your face. – Use concealer on any areas that you want to make more defined, like your eyelids (in case your eyes are puffy from allergies), and lips.
3) Finish by using a small brush or q-tip to apply oil-based pigment on any bald spots left by the powder. People with oily skin and African Americans should avoid applying the powder foundation, but use a skin tone makeup instead and apply oil-based pigment ONLY if necessary (darker colors will be needed in some areas). Always finish off by setting your face with powder so that it doesn't come off as you move throughout the day.
4) For best results, you need to OVERDOSE on the foundation. I've tried using one, two, and three layers of foundation and it still wasn't enough. If you're wearing a nice outfit and aren't going to be in a hot environment for long periods of time, I wouldn't recommend this technique. A makeup artist will have to do a flawless job for your tattoo cover up to look natural; you need to be able to see the tattoo through your makeup. Don't waste time with an amateur on this technique if it's not going to be clean and perfect.
5) To cover up larger tattoos such as a chest piece or back piece, think about getting a high-quality body suit.
6) To cover up smaller tattoos such as arms, legs, and hands, you can usually get away with just using clothing to cover it up. For example, wear long sleeves if you have an arm tattoo.
7) Practice sticking to solid colors (black, white, navy blue). Don't use many different colored makeup products to cover up your tattoo because it will look amateurish and overdone. Stick with the basics and you'll be able to make your tattoo disappear!
8) Make sure that whatever the artist is using to remove your unwanted tattoo is safe for your skin type and color. For example, don't use harsh chemicals like bleach on sensitive skin.
9) Don't wait too long to get your tattoo cover up (3-months max). You'll begin to see some lightning in the tattoo and it will start to look more like a mole or blemish rather than a real tattoo. If you wait too long, then your tattoo could become a permanent covering for that area.
10) Remember that every artist is going to have their own technique and you might need to practice on different areas in order to perfect it. I spent quite a bit of time painting my chest piece and eyebrows with makeup only to learn later that I should have been doing it with a bodysuit (which would be the best method).
11) If you ever have spot issues, use a concealer to cover them up and then let your skin rest for 15 minutes. Then wash the area with warm water, oil-based makeup remover, and moisturize with vitamin E.
12) Don't try and get a tattoo cover up if your skin is very sensitive to chemicals or it might undergo an aftercare reaction where it will become discolored or flakey. I had this happen to me once where I got a tattoo that ended up being completely washed off my arm because of the body suit technique (just something I picked up from another artist).
– Learn the basic steps for how to learn tattoo cover up along with the needed supplies that you can find at your local drug store.
– We'll go over some basic areas to look for on your body before getting a tattoo cover up and some differences between different methods of makeup. You'll need to find out which method is best for you!
– We'll also go over what you need to do if you're unlucky enough to pick up something "wrong" from your artist.

text: The effects of different hydrogen or equivalent deuterium treatments on CdTe superficiallayers are studied. Surface chemical analysis is performed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and hydrogen profiles are controlled by secondary ion mass spectroscopy using deuterium. Hydrogen plasma etching leads to a clean and nearly stoichiometric surface, and the surface abrasion rate is higher than the hydrogen in-diffusion rate. Deuterium implantation by a Kaufman source leads to surface depleted of tellurium and prevents them from further oxidation. Annealing under deuterium gas produces a similar surface, free fromoxide, but not stable with regard to further oxidation.

The 4th regional advocacy workshop, organized by Helvetas Switzerland and the project "Zajedno za aktivno gradansko društvo – ACT" from Serbia, took place in Belgrade in the period from September 7 to September 9, 2022 – #DevPolHack.
Within the framework of the workshop, more than 35 participants from several Helvetas projects from the region from Albania, Serbia, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, took part and applied the concept of digital advocacy in the implementation of projects from various spheres, including civil society, private and public sector.
The concept of digital advocacy is a relatively new tool that is part of the overall process of advocacy and is applied within campaigns and lobbying, largely on social networks and the web, as well as in combination with physical events. The main goal of digital advocacy is to speed up the processes of introducing certain policies from any sphere in society.
This year, the regional advocacy workshop was enriched by Heartbeats Innovation & Communication, a company that has a strong portfolio of digital advocacy interventions in the region and beyond.
The design concept of any digital advocacy includes several steps that are applied in a standard format, regardless of the topic to be represented. The process includes:
- Collective thinking and sharing of ideas. This segment also defines the problem for which advocacy is needed.
- Defining a framework for digital advocacy that includes: (1) Why – the purpose and values to be advocated, (2) Who – the target groups and digital security during the advocacy, (3) How – effective messages of communication to the target groups and a Call-To-Action, and (4) Where – channels and formats through which advocacy will be implemented.
- A Hackathon for digital advocacy is an additional tool that can help define the format of advocacy, in which an appropriate idea is selected and then the idea is mapped to a final solution. The hackathon enables a competition between teams of professionals who compete in conceptualizing advocacy. Creating a structured representation in a certain period of time brings a great advantage because the hackathon itself imposes competition between teams and generates excellent solutions in a short period of time.
To determine whether the defined advocacy has all the elements needed for success, each idea is presented to a specific audience in order to test the solution.
During the 4th regional advocacy workshop, the project teams worked on creating an advocacy campaign for waste management on local level, but also covered topics such as inclusion of companies in formal vocational education and training, increasing the interest of students in vocational education, promotion of vocational schools and increasing awareness among young people about their right to vote and the impact of their voting during elections. The next regional advocacy workshop will be held in Kosovo in 2023.


text: Scattering of elastic waves by an alluvial valley of arbitrary shape is investigated. The valley, embedded into linearly elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic half-space, is subjected to incident plane harmonic wave. Surface displacement field is evaluated numerically for semi-elliptical alluvial valley and incident SH, P, SV, and Rayleigh waves for different depths of the alluvial valley. The results indicate that the interface depth might influence differently the surface displacement field for different incident waves and at different frequencies. At low frequency (Ω = 0.4) and fixed angle of incidence (θo = 30°), the surface displacement field due to SH waves is less sensitive to the increase in the interface depth compared to surface motion due to P and SV waves. At higher frequency (Ω = 1), the surface motion is very sensitive upon the change in depth of the interface.

Study: Men spend if women are few

In the animal world, an overabundance of males can increase competition and skirmishes among would-be suitors seeking scarce partners. Now, a study finds hints that in the human world, too, a male-female imbalance affects complex mating behaviors, causing men to spend their paychecks faster, take on more debt, and increase the amount they would spend to woo a woman.
Economic behavior is clearly complex; it was not heartsick overspending on diamond rings and dinner dates that triggered the global recession. But the new work, published in the January issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, is part of a growing body of research that examines evolutionary factors that contribute to everyday consumer decisions.
"Different numbers of men and women trigger a competitive motive, a desire to compete,'' said Joshua Ackerman, an assistant professor of marketing at the MIT Sloan School of Management and a coauthor of the paper. "The core underlying theme, the evolutionary piece to this, is having different numbers of men and women signals different opportunities for romantic partners,''
Although, he added, "It's not that people are consciously thinking this stuff.''
Sex ratios have been extensively examined by biologists, with studies looking at how different proportions of males and females affect behavior in animals that range from the gray mouse lemur to the European bitterling, a freshwater fish.
Human studies have tended to study gender imbalance and its effect on behaviors such as aggression. But in the new study, the researchers gathered data from 134 US cities, including the sex ratios of unmarried people, average consumer debt, and the number of credit cards per person.
The researchers found that in cities that had more unmarried men than women, there tended to be greater average personal debt and more credit cards per person.
This overall trend, however, was just a correlation and did not suggest a male-female imbalance played a causal role - or rule out other explanations for the differences in debt.
The average debt level and number of credit cards were not broken down by sex, making it impossible to know the specific role single men were playing in the trend. So the researchers conducted a set of laboratory experiments to try and pinpoint the possible origins of the financial differences.
They used various means to prime research participants with the sense they were in an environment dominated by either men or women.
In one experiment, participants were led to believe they were participating in a memory task. They read 500-word news stories about the local community being either maleor female-dominated and then were told they would be asked a series of unrelated financial questions, which were supposedly just to pass enough time to cause their memories to fade.
But researchers were most interested in their answers to a few questions: how much money they would spend from a monthly paycheck and how much they would borrow.
The males who had read the article "Fewer Women for Every Man for Today's Students'' said they would borrow 84 percent more money each month. They also opted to save 42 percent less per month. Sex ratio did not affect women's financial behavior in the experiment.
In another experiment, the researchers tested how much people expected men to spend on "mating-related products.'' They found that in the male-dominated experimental condition, people of both sexes expected men to pay more to woo women. Men were expected to spend $6.01 more on a Valentine's Day present, $1.51 more for a dinner entrée, and $368 more on an engagement ring.
Jill Sundie, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Texas San Antonio, who was not involved in the research, said the results provided fresh insight into an evolutionary force that influences consumer behavior.
"The effects are not enormous, meaning that if we really want to understand why someone decides to run up credit card debt or not,'' you can't just focus on the availability of potential mates, Sundie said.
"Most of the research we do in consumer behavior is not about explaining the whole thing - it's looking at individual factors that might have an effect on certain kinds of circumstances.... It doesn't tell the whole story, but it tells a novel part of the story, that might get people thinking.''
The authors, a team that included researchers from five institutions across the country, also hope to study other cultures - specifically in China, where male-biased imbalances are extreme. There are more men than women in China, and there is more overall saving there. However, the authors suggested that is because the tradition of paying a "bride price'' to the woman's family is important, and so saving might be more beneficial for a man seeking a partner.
Geoffrey Miller, associate professor of psychology at the University of New Mexico, said the study is innovative and that sex ratios have been largely overlooked when thinking about consumer behavior.
He added that he was glad to see the authors draw attention to the important issue of sex imbalances in China, something that he sees as potentially frightening given what is known about male-dominated populations in the animal world, where aggression and fighting become more common.
"The more worrying thing, to me, is that with too many males per female, you could get more aggression,'' Miller said.

How Many 4 Digit Numbers Are There?
How many 4 digit numbers can be formed using 4 digits?
256Finally there are 4 choices for the last digit so the number of possible 4 digit numbers is 4 4 4 = 256..
How many 6 digit numbers are there in all?
How many 5 digit numbers are there in all?
90,000 fiveThere are 5 digits (any number from 0-9) in a 5-digit number. There are 90,000 five digit numbers in all.
What is the most common 4 digit code?
How many numbers can be formed with 10 digits?
8,999,999,999well all the values between : 1,000,000,000 and 9,999,999,999 are 10 digit numbers. so that is a total of: 8,999,999,999 distinct 10 digit numbers. You say using only the digits 0 to 9 – since that includes ALL possible decimal digits – the answer is as above.
How many 4 digit palindromes are there?
{101, 111, 121, 131, 141, 151, 161, 171, 181, 191, …, 909, 919, 929, 939, 949, 959, 969, 979, 989, 999} There are likewise 90 palindromic numbers with four digits (again, 9 choices for the first digit multiplied by ten choices for the second digit.
How many 4 digit numbers can be formed with the 10 digits?
There are 9 ways to pick the first digit (1 through 9), there are 10 ways to pick the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th digits, so that 9 10 10 10 = 9000 ways.
How many four digit numbers can be formed using 7 5 0 2 only once in a Number?
2) A digit can be used only once. 3) To form a n-digit number, possible numbers would be n!. 4) Hence, the answer would be 4! = 24.
What is the longest word that is the same backwards?
The longest known palindromic word is saippuakivikauppias (19 letters), which is Finnish for a dealer in lye (caustic soda). A palindrome is a word or phrase where the letters read backwards, give the same word or phrase, eg: the phrase 'Madam I'm Adam', with the reply 'Eve'.
Is 69 a palindrome?
Answer: NO, so that means the number 69 is not a palindrome!
How many 4 digit combinations are there with 10 numbers?
10 000For each choice of the first two digits you have 10 choices for the third digit. Thus you have 10x10x10 = 1000 choices for the first three digits. Finally you have 10 choices for the fourth digit and thus there are 10x10x10x10 = 10 000 possible 4 digit combinations from 0-9.
Which is the smallest 4 digit number with no digit repeated?
1023Smallest 4 digit number in which no digit is repeated is => 1023.
How long does it take to crack a 4 digit PIN?
How many 4 digit numbers are there with no digit repeated?
What is the most secure 4 digit code?
8068The safest 4-digit PIN is '8068' — or at least it was, until researchers at Data Genetics told everyone this week. The researchers there went through a set of 3.4 million four-digit personal identification numbers and found "8068" came up only 25 times.
Can palindromes be even?
A palindrome is a string that reads the same forwards as backwards. It is often convenient to think of two kinds of palindromes separately: … Even-length palindromes: These have a "first half" whose reverse is the second half.

The Nanyangshan project is a micro hydro run-of river project in remote Gansu Province. The project generates green electricity for the local grid and its infrastructure also benefits local farmers through the construction of a localised irrigation system for agricultural crops.
Run-of-river micro hydro projects create renewable energy by diverting some of a river's flow through a pipe or tunnel leading to electricity-generating turbines. The water then returns back to the river downstream and continues its course.
The project developed by Nanyang Water Conservancy and Hydropower Development Co., Ltd in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture involves the construction and operation of a run-of-the-river hydropower station at the location of Hezheng County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province. Annual electricity generation is 5,944 MWh in 2008 and 6,073 MWh in 2009 respectively. Electricity generated by the project is transmitted to Northwest China Power Grid (NWCPG).

The development of Competitiveness - A theoretical approach in a European context
The aim of this paper is to theoretically establish a framework for the basics of international trade between countries creating competitiveness. Since the environment in which trade takes place is changeable so is the concept of competitiveness. It is therefore argued in the paper that in order to understand the underlying factors of competitiveness one have to understand the environment in which trade takes place in. Today the concept of competitiveness will therefore be better understood by employing an industrial perspective. This approach can answer questions, which national aggregate estimates cannot. The question asked in the paper is; which industries in Europe, based on the assumptions of international trade theories is competitive? The European industries that came out as competitive were the one using high-skilled labor and produced or used ICT intensively in their production. The question also provided some answers to the always up-do-day wonder namely, in which direction European competitiveness is heading.

Proportional graph paper
Most stitches are not square!
In a tension square of stocking stitch where the length and width is the same, you will have more rows than stitches. Typically this stitch ratio will be between 1.3 and 1.4 so the stitch is wider than it is tall. Other stitch patterns produce different ratios.
This is why proportional graph paper is useful since you can exactly draw to scale the stitch you want to use. This means you can calculate shaping or the design of a motif or intarsia exactly so it does not distort when you knit it.
Proportional graph paper can be purchased in standard sizes or you can download a simple programme from the internet , for example Print-A-Grid from Knitting Software Inc

揚固用エアリフトポンプにおける非定常流動の数値解析 [in Japanese] Numerical Analysis of Unsteady Flow in a Air-lift Pump for Lifting Solid [in Japanese]
Access this Article
Search this Article
It is anticipated that a response of flow rates of lifting water and solid to a change of supplied air becomes complicated especially in a large-scale air-lift pump. Then it is inevitable to grasp unsteady flow in air-lift pumps for lifting solid in consideration of pipe blockage. In this work, a numerical method of unsteady flow was developed; discretized equations were derived by integration of the governing equations based on the drift flux model for gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow over the control volume, and numerical analyses were accomplished using the numerical procedure based on the so-called SIMPLER algorithm. To verify the present method, numerical results were compared with experimental results, which had been obtained with the air-lift system of 200 m depth. The present results show reasonable agreement with the experimental data. Hence the present method can be applicable to an examination of safety operation of air-lift systems.

Performed in villages and closely attached to water rice agriculture, water puppetry is a unique performing art and is the intangible cultural heritage of the Viet people in the Northern Delta region of Vietnam. Created in the tenth century, the first historical record on water puppetry was inscribed in an ancient stele in 1121 called the Sung Dien Dien Linh in the Long Dọi Buddhist Temple of Ha Nam Province. The inscription reads that water puppetry was performed to entertain the king on the occasion of his longevity ceremony.
Puppeteers, water, and puppets are the three core elements of water puppetry. The cultural spaces for water puppetry in villages are ponds and lakes. Different from other art forms, puppeteers do not appear on the stage, which is a two-story pavilion on the water face. The top floor is for worshiping the ancestral puppeteer; the lower floor serves as the backdrop and is very evocative. Puppeteers stand in the water behind a curtain and manipulate the puppets with sticks. They are talented and brave people as they stand in the cold water for hours performing puppetry, a job which is extremely taxing.
The puppets are hand-made from a special wood, which is light and floats. The process to fully complete the construction of a puppet is a long one, from carving the core to final decoration. The puppet is then painted with natural resources so that it is water proof and durable. The puppet makers create puppet characters according to performances that are related to legend, historical periods, and folktales such as the Fairy, the King, the Queen, the God, the Villager, the Girl, the Man, the Boy, and amiable animals. All are inspired by the vitality of life and the rich imagination of peasants in the Northern Delta region.
The puppet is composed of two parts: the body and the base. The body is the part that floats on the water and represents the character and the base is submerged under water and keeps the body floating. The base also holds a mechanic system which moves the puppet using two manipulating systems involving the use of sticks or strings. Both the sticks and the strings function in the water using the waters force to remotely control the movements of the puppets. The performers stand behind the curtain and control the puppets by manipulating each stick or a system of strings outside the pavilion or under water.
Each puppet show includes many scenes, which are short stories. The stage is decorated to evoke the story's background using elements of light, music, sound, color, and especially language to make the water puppet stage cheerful, lively, and attractive.
In the past, many villages were well-known for performing puppetry, but now only a few villages keep this tradition alive. They are Dao Thuc (Ha Noi), Thanh Hai (Hai Duong), Nguyen (Thai B.nh), Vĩnh Bao (Hai Ph.ng), and Rạch (Nam Dinh) to say a few. Some village organize puppet shows and tours in many parts of the country and abroad.
At present, Vietnam's water puppetry is not only performed in villages with ponds, lakes, fields, and villagers, but also in performing arts theaters and centers in towns and cities. Water puppetry has also been performed internationally, however, despite its development, the water puppetry of communities as a living heritage, is facing the risk of oblivion. Ancient performances have been forgotten, old puppeteers do not know who to pass on the tradition, with many Vietnamese people having never seen a water puppet show and are unfamiliar with it as part of their own heritage.

News Live from Manchester
Campaign launched to raise awareness of illegal backyard breeding
 - The NQ today launches the Pets Not Profit, _TAG_ campaign.
 - Led by NQ reporter Sarah Kerrigher, the campaign aims to raise more awareness of this illegal act with the intent to reduce the amount of illegal overbreeding in the UK.
Less than 12% of puppies born in Great Britain every year are bred by licensed breeders, meaning 88% of puppies born in the UK are born to unlicensed breeders. New laws have come into place in hope to reduce the number of illegal breeders in the UK –requiring owners to obtain a licence in order to legally breed, with thorough checks being carried out on the living conditions of pets.
Backyard Breeding is a term used to describe amateur animal breeders whose breeding is considered substandard, with little or misguided effort towards ethical, selective breeding. This includes animals that are bred for specific purposes - such as bulldogs for flat faces.
French Bulldogs, bred for their specific facial features.
It is important to note that it is not only the breeders that are to blame for this but also those who buy from unethical breeders, as they are condoning this animal abuse. Many female cats and dogs are forced into overbreeding in awful conditions, where their litter is sold off for outlandish prices, in order for the owner to make a profit.
The campaigns aim is also to encourage people to check conditions thoroughly before adopting animals, in an attempt to stop backyard breeding altogether.

a demo here. It looks like the sample below:
jTable sorting
To enable sorting, sorting option must set to true. You can also set defaultSorting option. It can be a field name of a column of the table. For instance, if you want table sorted by Name by default, defaultSorting can be 'Name ASC' or 'Name DESC'.
$('#PersonTable').jtable({
 //...
 sorting: true, //Enable sorting
 defaultSorting: 'Name ASC', //Sort by Name by default
 actions: {
 //...
 },
 fields: {
 //...
 }
});
If sorting is enabled, jTable sends a query string parameter to the server on listAction AJAX call:
 - jtSorting: A string represents requested sorting. It is built from sorting field name plus sorting direction. For instance, It can be 'Name ASC', 'BirtDate DESC', 'Age ASC'... etc.
An ASP.NET MVC action that is used for sorting is shown below (paging is also enabled for the code below):
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult PersonList(int jtStartIndex = 0, int jtPageSize = 0, string jtSorting = null)
{
 try
 {
 int personCount = _personRepository.GetPersonCount();
 List<person> persons = _personRepository.GetPersons(jtStartIndex, jtPageSize, jtSorting);
 return Json(new { Result = "OK", Records = persons, TotalRecordCount = personCount });
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
 return Json(new { Result = "ERROR", Message = ex.Message });
 }
}
Note that while sorting can be used with paging (as in this sample), it is completely independed from paging.
Selecting
jTable allows you client side selecting rows. See a demo here. It looks like the sample below:
jTable selecting
To enable selecting, selecting option must set to true. You can set multiselect option to true to allow user to select multiple rows at once. You can set selectingCheckboxes option to true to show checkboxes as the sample above. Finally, you can set selectOnRowClick to false to prevent row selecting on clicking anywhere on the row (it's true as default).
To get list of selected rows, you can call selectedRows method of jTable anytime (see sample usage). Also, you can get notified when selection changed by selectionChanged event.
//Prepare jtable plugin
$('#PersonTable').jtable({
 //...
 selecting: true, //Enable selecting
 multiselect: true, //Allow multiple selecting
 selectingCheckboxes: true, //Show checkboxes on first column
 //selectOnRowClick: false, //Enable this to only select using checkboxes
 actions: {
 //...
 },
 fields: {
 //...
 },
 //Register to selectionChanged event
 selectionChanged: function () {
 //Get all selected rows
 var $selectedRows = $('#PersonTable').jtable('selectedRows');
 $('#SelectedRowList').empty();
 if ($selectedRows.length > 0) {
 //Show selected rows
 $selectedRows.each(function () {
 var record = $(this).data('record');
 $('#SelectedRowList').append(
 'PersonId: ' + record.PersonId +
 'Name:' + record.Name
 );
 });
 } else {
 //No rows selected
 $('#SelectedRowList').append('No row selected! Select rows to see here...');
 }
 }
});
In the sample above, we are registering to selectionChanged event. In the event handler, we are getting selected rows by selectedRows method. It returns a jQuery selection, so we can call any jQuery method on it. We can get the record by record data property. Then we can get fields of record as record.Name, record.PersonId... etc.
Master/Child tables
jTable supports unlimited level of child tables for a table. Child tables can also have their children and so on... A child table is releated in a row in master table. Look at the screen below:
Master Child table on jTable
Click here to see a live demo. When you click phone icon at left of a row, a new table slides down below the clicked row and you can manipulate phones of the selected person. You can do everything just as a regular jTable. When you click close button, child table slides up and closed.
To implement a child table, first we must understand custom (computed) column support of jTable. Green phone icon on the figure above is created in a custom column. To create a custom column, we use display option of jtable field definition as like below:
//...
Phones: {
 title: '',
 width: '3%',
 sorting: false,
 edit: false,
 create: false,
 display: function (personData) {
 var $img = $('<img src="_URL_ title="Edit phone numbers" />');
 return $img;
 }
}
//...
Phones is a field definition as Name or Gender columns. But Person record has not a field named Phones. So, we define a function that will create value of this field to show on the table. display function is used for that. It is called by jTable for each row. It must return a text, HTML code or jQuery object. In the sample above, I created an image (green phone icon) as a jQuery object and returned it. Then jTable showed this image in the row. personData argument (you can change name of the argument of course) has record property that can be used to get record values for current row. So, if you want to use Name of the person, you can get it using personData.record.Name.
So far so good. But, how to open child table when user clicks this image. jTable defines two methods: openChildTable and closeChildTable to control child tables. So, web can open a child table when user clicks the phone icon (in the display method above):
$img.click(function() {
 $('#PersonTable').jtable('openChildTable',
 $img.closest('tr'),
 {
 title: personData.record.Name + ' - Phone numbers',
 actions: {
 listAction: '/PagingPerson/PhoneList?PersonId=' +
 personData.record.PersonId,
 deleteAction: '/PagingPerson/DeletePhone',
 updateAction: '/PagingPerson/UpdatePhone',
 createAction: '/PagingPerson/CreatePhone'
 },
 fields: {
 StudentId: {
 type: 'hidden',
 defaultValue: studentData.record.StudentId
 },
 PhoneId: {
 key: true,
 create: false,
 edit: false,
 list: false
 },
 PhoneType: {
 title: 'Phone type',
 width: '30%',
 options: { '1': 'Home phone',
 '2': 'Office phone',
 '3': 'Cell phone'}
 },
 Number: {
 title: 'Phone Number',
 width: '30%'
 },
 RecordDate: {
 title: 'Record date',
 width: '20%',
 type: 'date',
 displayFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
 create: false,
 edit: false
 }
 }
 }, function(data) { //opened handler
 data.childTable.jtable('load');
 });
});
openChildTable has three parameters. First one is used to indicate the row which is used as master row of child table. Here, I got container tr element of the image, so it gives the current row. Second parameter is a regular jTable initialization options. You can pass any option that can be passed to any jTable instance. So, you can define a custom column and open a second level child. Third and the last parameter is a callback method that is called by jTable after child table successfully created and opened. Here, I loaded records after child table is opened.
Look at the listAction. It's something like that: '/PagingPerson/PhoneList?PersonId=' + personData.record.PersonId. Thus, we are getting phone numbers those are related to current person (personData comes from display method, see codes above). Also, we need PersonId in the server side while creating a new phone number for a person. It's done with a hidden field (See StudentId definition). Given default value is used for new records.
When you create a child table, jTable automatically closes it when user clicks close icon of the table. You can change/override these functionalities.

The results of the evaluation of the level of transparency of these corporations is available in the Infometro section of the online platform _URL_. Results: The selected media companies are not very transparent: the lowest scores were obtained in the identification of senior executives and the management of collective resources, while the highest scores were obtained in the area of information for participation. Discussion and conclusions: These types of organisations do not comply with the indicators of access to public information and transparency, despite having a broad regulatory development. These corporations do not disclose basic data and the information they do publish is often unclear, insufficient and inaccessible.

Another tricky problem:
a = foo +
 bar(baz,
 barbaz
) +
 foobar
After the function call, the line is not seen as continuing anymore, so indentation gets decreased by 1 level, while being increased by 1 level because of the opener (so no change overall).
It gets even worse when nested:
a = foo +
 bar(baz +
 bazbaz
 ) +
 foobar
b = foo +
 bar(baz(
 bazbaz
 )
 ) +
 foobar
The solution to this problem involves a more complex continuation algorithm. We need to use a stack to remember the level of indentation of the nested continuations.
 - Indent line.
 - Check if continuing: either the end token on previous line or the start token on current line must be a continuation token.
 - If current indentation does not match the stack and if continuing, increase indent and push the new indentation on the stack.
 - If not continuing and current indentation is < stack indentation, pop the stack and decrease indent.
The cases not matched by the previous conditions do not change the indentation level.
An example algorithm
The following algorithm yields an indentation engine close in practice to the one found in gofmt. The indentation is computed by looking at current and previous lines only, thus being efficient.
What if previous line indentation is wrong? It does not matter, as indenting the whole file at once will make sure every line is indented properly.
Unmatched means not matched on the same line. Openers match their respective closer forward and vice-versa.
First pass:
On current line:
-1 on every closer until an unmatched opener is met, if first token is a closer.
-1 if first token is a middler.
On previous line:
+ current indentation.
+1 on every unmatched opener.
+1 if first token is a middler.
-1 on every unmatched closer if first token is not a closer.
For this last case, it is worth noting that if the first token is a middler, then the first unmatched closer is compensating the indentation change.
Second pass:
+ continuation indentation.
For the continuation indentation, we use the algorithm from the previous section.

About
This is the home page of my research on inverse procedural generation applied to building facades. A quick presentation of the concept follows. I will update this page to keep track of my progress.
Background
In computer graphics it is often useful to generate the content automatically to ease the burden of drawing everything by hand. Common examples include cities, forests, landscapes, oceans, or roads, which often show up in movies, video games, or urban planning simulations to name a few. These features clearly follow some patterns. Nonetheless they cannot be drawn with a naive tiling which would result in something too geometrical to come from the real world. Nature and mankind induce some randomness and chaos on the environment.
This is where procedural graphics prove useful: with a set of rules combined to some transformation functions, one can generate a whole city with its underlying randomness by specifying a few parameters.
Goals
The use of procedural generator can be overwhelming: they usually require of dozens of inter-related parameters. A tiny alteration in a parameter value may dramatically affect the result. Therefore, the biggest challenge in procedural graphics is the understanding of the parameter set for every generator.
To overcome the limitation of procedural generation, we could think of a different approach: from a real-world input, we can deduce the right parameter set that generate the desired result. This is called inverse procedural generation.
Nonetheless facade formalization might involve hundreds of parameters. Some of them may affect minor details in the output, others may transform the result drastically. In other words, they have different psychophysical properties, i.e. they affect the way we perceive the building unevenly.
Which one makes it look believable? Does it look old or sad? Does it belong to a specific neighbourhood of some city? A psychophysical study of the architectural properties is relevant to improve the generation process.
Progress
Forward generation
The first logical move is to master the forward procedural generation. Thus I have implemented a prototype in Lua/Cairo based on the papers Instant Architecture (Wonka et al.) and Procedural Modeling of Buildings (Müller et al.).
Inverse generation from a data structure
A facade can be seen as a tile of rectangular regions. This model can be conveniently stored into a data structure.
Before working directly with pictures, we can feed our inverse data generator with a manually created data structure.
As for the forward generator, I have implemented a Lua prototype with some basic heuristics. The (only?) reference I have been using is Inverse Procedural Modeling of Facade Layouts (Fuzhang Wu et al.).
The data structure and its associated functions are actually quite interesting to study. I will devote an article to it later.
Pre-processing
The input data is real-world pictures. Some work is needed before we can get to the convenient data structure our inverse generator can use.
 - Perspective correction: it is easier to work on orthographic data. Real life pictures of facades are never perfectly aligned, but this can be easily rectified. Even with some specialized hardware it is not always possible to take orthographic pictures of facades, e.g. in narrow streets with tall buildings.
 - Occlusion handling: facade picture are usually not barebone, a lot of elements cannot be taken away when taking the picture. This includes streets signs and lights, bystanders, trees, and so on. They should not be included in the final data structure, thus they should be removed. It is possible to handle most cases automatically.
 To implement. It is still possible to work without it on ideal facades.
 - Lighting normalization: depending on the time of the day, the weather and the cast shadows, not all parts of the facade might illuminated equally. This can disturb the segmentation process, e.g. a shadow on a region can be seen as different regions.
 To implement.
Segmentation
Once our images have been pre-processed, the segmentation can be run serenely. The quality of the result can hardly be garanteed. Indeed, there is no formal deterministic definition of a region, this is mostly a human criteria. A semi-automatic segmenter sounds a reasonable choice here: first pass is fully automatic; for the second pass, control is left to the user who can then merge or split regions, resize them, group them, and so on.
To implement.
Future
The current state of the art is fairly limited, yet certainly extensible to 3D. This is definitely some field to explore.

Perspector
About
Perspector is a perspective rectification tool.
As opposed to most competitors out there (Gimp, Photoshop, Rawtherapee), this tool is not axis-based but rather control-point-based. This allows for much faster processing (in human time) while obtaining more accurate results.
It was originally created out of a need for ortho-aligning a batch of facade pictures as quickly as possible in the most convenient manner. (Understand "the less annoying".)
The technique behind this tool is a tad more sophisticated than the usual axis-aligned version, without being revolutionary. I developed this program as I could not find such a thing anywhere. I believe it would be great to see it implemented in a tool like Gimp.
Preview
1.jpg 1-rect.jpg
See more in the gallery.
Usage
Select four control points on the picture. When processed, the picture will be transformed so that the four control points become the corners of an axis-aligned rectangle.
Installation
It should run out of the box on most Unix-based systems.
Fetch the source code and read the README file for further instructions.

Links and literature
Here follows a collection of articles, books and videos that I'd personally recommend…
…Or not! Because I believe it's also important to cover a spectrum of literature wider than just someone's own opinion. Many links refer to arguments and counter-arguments: I don't necessarily agree with everything listed here. Nonetheless I believe it's wiser to not automatically discard antagonistic opinions. They can prove instrumental in further consolidating one's argument.
Besides, I've spent a significant amount of time reading books which, with hindsight, I now consider a waste of time. If sharing my opinions can help people on the same page avoid wasting their own time, then for the better!
Discussion is more than welcome!

While Unix brought us lots of good ideas, I also beieve many things are wrong with Unix and more generally with the Unix philosophy. The discussion is rather complex so I won't go into details here

It's hard to walk down the aisle of a liquor store without running across a bottle bearing someone's name. We put them in our cocktails, but how well do we know them? Here's some biographical detail on the men behind your favorite tipples.
1. Captain Morgan
FromSandToGlass, Flickr // CC BY 2.0
The Captain wasn't always just the choice of sorority girls looking to blend spiced rum with Diet Coke; in the 17th century he was a feared privateer. Not only did the Welsh pirate marry his own cousin, he ran risky missions for the governor of Jamaica, including capturing some Spanish prisoners in Cuba and sacking Port-au-Prince in Haiti. He then plundered the Cuban coast before holding for ransom the entire city of Portobelo, Panama. He later looted and burned Panama City, but his pillaging career came to an end when Spain and England signed a peace treaty in 1671. Instead of getting in trouble for his high-seas antics, Morgan received knighthood and became the lieutenant governor of Jamaica.
2. Johnnie Walker
Kevin Chang, Flickr // CC BY-NC-ND 2.0
Walker, the name behind the world's most popular brand of Scotch whisky, was born in 1805 in Ayrshire, Scotland. When his father died in 1819, Johnnie inherited a trust of a little over 400 pounds, which the trustees invested in a grocery store. Walker grew to become a very successful grocer in the town of Kilmarnock and even sold a whisky, Walker's Kilmarnock Whisky. Johnnie's son Alexander was the one who actually turned the family into famous whisky men, though. Alexander had spent time in Glasgow learning how to blend teas, but he eventually returned to Kilmarnock to take over the grocery from his father. Alexander turned his blending expertise to whisky, and came up with "Old Highland Whisky," which later became Johnnie Walker Black Label.
3. Jack Daniel
LeeRoyal, Flickr // CC BY-NC-ND 2.0
Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel of Tennessee whiskey fame was the descendant of Welsh settlers who came to the United States in the early 19th century. He was born in 1846 or 1850 and was one of 13 children. By 1866 he was distilling whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Unfortunately for the distiller, he had a bit of a temper. One morning in 1911 Daniel showed up for work early and couldn't get his safe open. He flew off the handle and kicked the offending strongbox. The kick was so ferocious that Daniel injured his toe, which then became infected. The infection soon became the blood poisoning that killed the whiskey mogul.
Curious about why your bottle of J.D. also has Lem Motlow listed as the distillery's proprietor? Daniel's own busy life of distilling and safe-kicking kept him from ever finding a wife and siring an heir, so in 1907 he gave the distillery to his beloved nephew Lem Motlow, who had come to work for him as a bookkeeper.
4. Jose Cuervo
Shane R, Flickr // CC BY-NC-ND 2.0
In 1758, Jose Antonio de Cuervo received a land grant from the King of Spain to start an agave farm in the Jalisco region of Mexico. Jose used his agave plants to make mescal, a popular Mexican liquor. In 1795, King Carlos IV gave the land grant to Cuervo's descendant Jose Maria Guadalupe de Cuervo. Carlos IV also granted the Cuervo family the first license to commercially make tequila, so they built a larger factory on the existing land. The family started packaging their wares in individual bottles in 1880, and in 1900 the booze started going by the brand name Jose Cuervo. The brand is still under the leadership of the original Jose Cuervo's family; current boss Juan-Domingo Beckmann is the sixth generation of Cuervo ancestors to run the company.
5. Jim Beam
Jim Beam, the namesake of the world's best-selling bourbon whiskey, didn't actually start the distillery that now bears his name. His great-grandfather Jacob Beam opened the distillery in 1788 and started selling his first barrels of whiskey in 1795. In those days, the whiskey went by the less-catchy moniker of "Old Tub." Jacob Beam handed down the distillery to his son David Beam, who in turn passed it along to his son David M. Beam, who eventually handed the operation off to his son, Colonel James Beauregard Beam, in 1894. Although he was only 30 years old when he took over the family business, Jim Beam ran the distillery until Prohibition shut him down. Following repeal in 1933, Jim quickly built a distillery and began resurrecting the Old Tub brand, but he also added something new to the company's portfolio: a bourbon simply called Jim Beam.
6. Tanqueray

When he was a young boy, Charles Tanqueray's path through life seemed pretty clear. He was the product of three straight generations of Bedfordshire clergymen, so it must have seemed natural to assume that he would take up the cloth himself. Wrong. Instead, he started distilling gin in 1830 in a little plant in London's Bloomsbury district. By 1847, he was shipping his gin to colonies around the British Empire, where many plantation owners and troops had developed a taste for Tanqueray and tonic.
7. Campari
Michael, Flickr // CC BY-NC 2.0
Gaspare Campari found his calling quickly. By the time he was 14, he had risen to become a master drink mixer in Turin, and in this capacity he started dabbling with a recipe for an aperitif. When he eventually settled on the perfect mixture, his concoction had over 60 ingredients. In 1860, he founded Gruppo Campari to make his trademark bitters in Milan. Like Colonel Sanders' spice blend, the recipe for Campari is a closely guarded secret supposedly known by only the acting Gruppo Campari chairman, who works with a tiny group of employees to make the concentrate with which alcohol and water are infused to get Campari. The drink is still made from Gaspare Campari's recipe, though, which includes quinine, orange peel, rhubarb, and countless other flavorings.

Head construction: problem solved!
If you studied head construction by Andrew Loomis you'll understand the issue I'm talking about in this post.
On page 21 of Drawing the Heads and the Hands Loomis describes his method of constructing a head using analogy with a ball and a nail. It looks very simple and easy to understand...until you actually start constructing a head yourself.
My problem was with the "ear" line. I could not figure it out.I gave up and moved on.
A few days ago, I was reading a ConceptArt forum and came across the post called "How to correctly establish ellipses using Loomis head construction?" Needless to say how happy I was to discover that someone had asked my question. But the real treasure was ahead. There was that JohnB who shared his method of establishing ellipses. It was answer to my prayers! Thank you, JohnB!!!
Here is a link to the entire post: click here
JohnB has his own blog, interesting and very informative.
And this is John's tutorial I recreated:
1. Draw a cicle and mark the center (A)
2. Think about position of the face: is it looking up or down? turned to the left or right? Add a point (B) to where a "brow" cross will be
3. Connect A and B
4. Draw a brow line as per step 2
5. Add a line running through the center that is parallel to brow line
6. Add tick marks perpendicular to the line in step 5
7. Draw ellipse that starts and ends at tick marks you did in step 6 and passes brow point (B)
8. Draw a middle line (face line) that is tangent to the ellipse you just drew. This line determines the tilt of the face plane. This line and line you drew in step 4 are what Loomis calls "the all-important cross on the ball".
9. Draw a line that is parallel to the middle line from step 8. This is what Loomis refers to as a nail in the ball
10. Add tick marks that are perpendicular to the "nail" line
11. Draw ellipse that connects tick marks and goes through the brow point. This is a brow line.
12. Add tick marks that are perpendicular to AB line
13. Draw ellipse that connects the tick marks. This is "ear" line.

I like your addition of Loomis's "nail" in the top of the head.
I wanted to point out that the last ellipse goes through a point at the bottom and at the ear. It goes through a point at the ear, where the line DA intersects the "brow line" (the second ellipse you've drawn).
It also goes through a point at the bottom of the head, where the line AE intersects the "middle line" (the first ellipse you've drawn).
The heads-with-features that you've drawn look great!

thank you, John! You're absolutely right - now i can see mistakes myself. Corrected and reposted the image. Still so much to learn :-)
Michaela said...
This may be an old article, but I THANK YOU SO MUCH. I kind of went nuts as I was trying to understand what Andrew has ment. But I always got stuck with the earline... I was looking for an explanation on conceptart, but unfortunately the forums is down since yesterday so I was kinda alone with this question! But now I know!!! Thank youuu! :*

Thank you, Michaela. I'm glad it helped :-)

Aspects of Food Waste Management in Florida –
Florida's picturesque landscapes and bustling food industry make it a unique state with its own set of legal and regulatory considerations when it comes to food waste management. As Ready2Go Dumpsters, a leading dumpster rental company in Florida, we understand the importance of adhering to legal requirements and regulations governing food waste. In this article, we will delve into the legal and regulatory aspects of food waste management in Florida, providing valuable insights for businesses and organizations aiming to reduce their environmental footprint.
The Legal Framework
Food waste management in Florida is governed by a combination of federal, state, and local regulations. Understanding this legal framework is essential for businesses and organizations involved in food production, distribution, and disposal.
1. Good Samaritan Food Donation Act: At the federal level, the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act encourages food donation by offering liability protection for individuals, restaurants, and businesses donating food in good faith to nonprofit organizations. This act provides legal protections, allowing entities to donate food without fear of legal repercussions.
Florida has specific state laws and regulations that businesses and organizations must adhere to:
1. Chapter 500, Florida Statutes – Food Products: This chapter encompasses various regulations related to food safety, quality, and labeling. It also includes provisions for food donation and the protection of food donors.
2. Chapter 381, Florida Statutes – Public Health: This chapter addresses food establishments, food safety, and health standards. It outlines requirements for the handling, storage, and disposal of food, emphasizing food safety and public health.
3. Chapter 403, Florida Statutes – Environmental Control: This chapter covers environmental protection, including waste management. It is particularly relevant to businesses and organizations that manage food waste and organic materials, as it includes provisions for composting and other organic waste management methods.
4. Chapter 380, Florida Statutes – Solid Waste Management: Chapter 380 deals specifically with solid waste management, providing guidelines for waste reduction, recycling, and waste disposal. It includes provisions for food waste reduction and diversion from landfills.
5. Chapter 570, Florida Statutes – Agricultural Law: This chapter relates to agriculture and provides provisions for food donation, as well as the use of surplus food as livestock feed.
Local governments within Florida may have their own ordinances and regulations concerning waste management, which can vary from one municipality to another. It's crucial for businesses and organizations to be aware of and comply with any local regulations.
Food Donation Liability Protection
Florida's laws protect food donors from liability when making good-faith food donations to nonprofit organizations. This legal protection is essential to encourage food donation and prevent potential legal repercussions for businesses. Under the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act and state regulations, food donors in Florida are shielded from liability as long as the food is donated in a reasonable manner and in accordance with established food safety guidelines.
Florida's regulatory framework also covers organic waste management, which is an essential aspect of food waste reduction. Chapter 403 of the Florida Statutes addresses composting regulations. Businesses and organizations interested in composting should comply with these regulations, which ensure that composting operations are conducted safely and in an environmentally responsible manner.
Waste Reduction Goals
Florida has set ambitious waste reduction goals to minimize the environmental impact of waste generation. Businesses and organizations are encouraged to align their food waste management practices with these goals. Reducing food waste through responsible disposal, composting, and food donation can help businesses contribute to the state's broader waste reduction initiatives.
Food Safety Regulations
Food safety regulations are a vital aspect of food waste management. Florida's Chapter 381 of the Florida Statutes outlines food safety standards and requirements for food establishments, which are crucial for ensuring the safe handling and storage of food. Businesses should adhere to these regulations to prevent foodborne illnesses and maintain the quality and safety of food items.
Florida's environmental regulations, especially those concerning waste management, highlight the state's commitment to minimizing the environmental impact of waste. Businesses and organizations should be aware of the provisions outlined in Chapter 380 of the Florida Statutes, which promote sustainable waste management practices, including food waste diversion from landfills.
Legal and regulatory aspects of food waste management in Florida are designed to ensure the safe handling of food, protect food donors, promote sustainable waste management, and minimize the environmental impact of food waste. Businesses and organizations that handle food should be well-informed about these regulations to maintain compliance and contribute to the state's waste reduction goals. At Ready2Go Dumpsters, we are dedicated to assisting businesses and organizations in their efforts to responsibly manage food waste in accordance with Florida's legal and regulatory framework, creating a more sustainable and food-conscious state for all.

Francesca Tolaini, a Ph.D. candidate at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, conducted research for her dissertation on the book that contains recipes on glassmaking and glass coloring from late antiquity and the early Middle Ages.
Tolaini has transcribed and analyzed recipes in various manuscripts of the Mappae Clavicula, and her share of the Rakow Grant will permit her to inspect the versions in the Rakow Research Library of The Corning Museum of Glass and in Madrid.
"This manuscript is very important for the history of practical-technical recipe books and treatises on art," she notes. "It is not only the oldest and most widespread early medieval recipe book, but it is also one of the most complete compilations from antiquity. In fact, its origin is to be found in Greek recipe books translated into Latin in the fourth and fifth centuries B.C. It was widely known, and we find it [referred to] in later recipe books, from the Middle Ages and afterward, when the techniques described were no longer in use."
Despite the importance of the Mappae Clavicula, some of its main manuscripts have not been published or studied adequately. Tolaini says that a careful analysis of the information it contains will be extremely useful to students of the history of glassmaking and to scientists conducting chemical analyses of glasses.
Tolaini is a 1994 graduate of the Università degli Studi di Pisa, where she studied the history of decorative and industrial art.
