Are you a fan of the iconic VW Golf? Curious about its weight and how it contributes to its performance on the road? Well, look no further! In this blog post, we're going to delve into the world of automotive engineering and explore just how much a VW Golf weighs.
Buckle up and join us on this fascinating journey as we uncover the secrets behind one of Europe's most beloved compact cars!
The Evolution of the VW Golf's Weight
The Volkswagen Golf, commonly known as the VW Golf, has been a popular choice among car enthusiasts for over four decades. It is one of the most iconic and best-selling models by the German automaker Volkswagen.
With each new generation, the VW Golf has undergone significant changes in terms of design, technology, and performance. But one aspect that often goes unnoticed is its weight.
When it was first introduced in 1974, the VW Golf weighed around 1,800 pounds (816 kg). This was considered lightweight at the time compared to other cars in its class. However, with advances in technology and safety features over the years, the weight of the VW Golf has gradually increased with each new model.
In 1983, with its second generation release, the weight of the VW Golf jumped up to around 2,000 pounds (907 kg). This increase can be attributed to the addition of new features such as power steering and air conditioning. These added amenities improved driving comfort but also added extra weight to the vehicle.
As we moved into the third-generation models in 1991, there was another significant jump in weight. The base model now weighed around 2,500 pounds (1134 kg), almost a thousand-pound difference from its initial release just two decades prior. This increase can be attributed to advancements in safety features such as airbags and reinforced frames.
Factors Affecting Weight
Various factors determine the weight of a car and can vary significantly depending on the make and model. In this section, we will explore the different elements that contribute to the weight of a car, specifically focusing on the Volkswagen Golf.
- Size: One of the most significant factors affecting a car's weight is its size. Generally, larger cars tend to be heavier due to their increased dimensions and the need for more materials in construction. The VW Golf falls into the compact car category and is known for its smaller size compared to other models in its class. This compact design helps keep its weight relatively low.
- Materials Used: The materials used in a car's construction play a crucial role in determining its weight. Typically, heavier materials such as steel or iron are used in older models, while newer models tend to use lighter materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber to reduce weight without compromising strength and durability. The VW Golf uses high-quality lightweight materials in its construction, resulting in a lower overall weight.
- Engine Type: Another important factor that contributes to a car's weight is its engine type. Cars with larger engines tend to weigh more than those with smaller engines due to the added components needed for increased power output. The VW Golf comes equipped with various engine options ranging from small turbocharged three-cylinder engines to larger four-cylinder machines, all designed for fuel efficiency and performance without adding excessive weight.
Comparison to Other Cars in Its Class
The VW Golf has been a popular choice among car buyers for many years due to its reliability, practicality, and overall performance. One important factor that potential buyers often consider when purchasing a new car is its weight. In this section, we will compare the importance of the VW Golf to other popular vehicles in its class, such as the Honda Civic.
To start, let's take a look at the weight of the base model of each car. The VW Golf has a curb weight (the total weight of the vehicle without any passengers or cargo) of 2,943 pounds. On the other hand, the Honda Civic weighs slightly less, with a curb weight of 2,762 pounds. This means that the Honda Civic is about 181 pounds lighter than the VW Golf.
Moving on to their dimensions, both cars have similar lengths and widths. The VW Golf measures at 167.6 inches in length and 70.8 inches in width, while the Honda Civic comes in at 182.7 inches in length and 70.9 inches in width. However, it is worth noting that these measurements may vary depending on the specific model and trim level.
When it comes to engine options, both cars offer multiple choices for their customers. The base model of both vehicles comes equipped with a four-cylinder engine; however, there are also more powerful engine options available for those looking for an extra boost in performance.

text: Two critical tasks in multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) are to describe criterion values and to aggregate the described information to generate a ranking of alternatives. A flexible and superior tool for the first task is q-rung orthopair fuzzy number (qROFN) and an effective tool for the second task is aggregation operator. So far, nearly thirty different aggregation operators of qROFNs have been presented. Each operator has its distinctive characteristics and can work well for specific purpose. However, there is not yet an operator which can provide desirable generality and flexibility in aggregating criterion values, dealing with the heterogeneous interrelationships among criteria, and reducing the influence of extreme criterion values. To provide such an aggregation operator, Muirhead mean operator, power average operator, partitioned average operator, and Archimedean T-norm and T-conorm operations are concurrently introduced into q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets, and an Archimedean power partitioned Muirhead mean operator of qROFNs and its weighted form are presented and a MCGDM method based on the weighted operator is proposed in this paper. The generalised expressions of the two operators are firstly defined. Their properties are explored and proved and their specific expressions are constructed. On the basis of the specific expressions, a method for solving the MCGDM problems based on qROFNs is then designed. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the method is demonstrated via a numerical example, a set of experiments, and qualitative and quantitative comparisons.

Mokpo City, located on the southwestern coast of the Korean Peninsula, has been built on one of the largest areas of reclaimed coastal land in Korea. This reclaimed land is currently experiencing significant ground subsidence due to soil consolidation. We have estimated the subsidence rate of Mokpo City (8 × 8 km) using the synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) and InSAR permanent scatterer (PSInSAR) techniques to analyze 26 JERS-1 SAR images acquired between 1992 and 1998 and six ENVISAT ASAR images acquired in 2004-2005. Mean subsidence velocity, which was clearly related to reclaimed land, was computed from the JERS-1 PSInSAR analysis. The results indicate a continuous and significant subsidence at three sites (Dongmyung, Hadang and Wonsan), where the subsidence velocity has reached more than 5-7 cm/yr in the area of maximum subsidence. The subsidence rate was found to have decreased in Wonsan and Hadang between 1992 and 1998, while it remained steady or increased in Dongmyung during the same period. The subsidence extended to the period of 2004-2005, and the subsidence rate predicted by the JERS-1 PSInSAR analysis using a linear model was confirmed by the ENVISAT ASAR InSAR results. Our results show that InSAR/PSInSAR-based subsidence maps are useful for the long-term monitoring of soil consolidation and for defining risk zones in coastal reclaimed regions.

Hi Larry, Thanks for your help. But i have no choice to implemet the logic in VBA.So i have to implement it in VBScript. And also i am not educated in VBA. Can you help me using VBscript the same? – Arup Rakshit Dec 13 '12 at 6:36

Hi, is the data stored in excel format? Can I use Excel.Application in VBScript? – Larry Dec 13 '12 at 6:38

Yes.. You can use that.Because when my 5th script will be working to meet such requirement;then its required data will be already pulled to the required sheet by 1st script. I just updated my Case description by adding one more Rows to the tables,so that the requirement can be visible to you clearly. Thanks for your help :-) – Arup Rakshit Dec 13 '12 at 6:48

Hi, please join the chat room for further explanation chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/21049/… – Larry Dec 13 '12 at 6:53

Hum,,If i could do so it would be better for me.But my firewall blocking to open that chat room. So here I can help you if you need any help from me. – Arup Rakshit Dec 13 '12 at 7:04
I suggest using the Delete method of Excel.Range to delete the empty cells, and passing a parameter to shift the remaining cells to the left:
Option Explicit
Dim xlApp, xlBook, xlSheet
Dim rowCount, columnCount, i, j, currentColumnCount
Dim rng, cell, hasValue
Const xlShiftToLeft = -4159
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\path\to\excel\file.xlsx")
Set xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets("WorksheetName")
rowCount = xlSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
columnCount = xlSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count - 3
For i = 2 To rowCount
 currentColumnCount = columnCount
 j = 2
 Do While j <= currentColumnCount
 Set rng = xlSheet.Range(xlSheet.Cells(i,j), xlSheet.Cells(i,j+2))
 hasValue = False
 For Each cell In rng.Cells
 If cell.Value <> "" Then
 hasValue = True
 Exit For
 End If
 Next
 If hasValue Then
 j = j + 3
 Else
 rng.Delete xlShiftToLeft
 currentColumnCount = currentColumnCount - 3
 End If

thanks for your help @Zev – Arup Rakshit Dec 18 '12 at 18:16

One confusion,that I am having is i added one line of code to your one to meet my other requirement is objExcel1.sheets("Temp").Add. But getting an error saying Subscript out of range Can you say why so? – Arup Rakshit Dec 19 '12 at 15:59
1
Are you trying to add a new worksheet named Temp to the workbook? You can't refer to the worksheet by name if it doesn't yet exist in the workbook. You need to add the worksheet to the workbook (not the Application object which objExcel1 is, but to the Workbook object - objWorkbook) via the Worksheets collection - Dim tempSheet: Set tempSheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets.Add(): tempSheet.Name = "Temp" – Zev Spitz Dec 20 '12 at 0:16

You should probably give a more descriptive name to objExcel, as it refers to an Excel.Application, but sounds like it might refer to any Excel object. My own preference is to use xlApp. – Zev Spitz Dec 20 '12 at 0:17

text: Dyspnea, the sensation of feeling breathless, is a symptom experienced under conditions in which there is an inordinately high ventilatory demand relative to the ability to breathe. Its major physical sign is tachypnea. New developments in monitoring ventilation during exercise have improved our ability to evaluate the symptom of dyspnea and to understand pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to the symptom. We briefly describe the range of mechanisms that determine exercise ventilation and their possible relationship to dyspnea. Questionnaires and psychophysical testing have been used to quantify dyspnea, but there is variability in dyspnea grade from these methods. Dyspnea-producing stimuli and the mechanisms by which they act are reviewed. Disorders producing dyspnea and the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying each are discussed. Perception of dyspnea is obviously through the central nervous system, where dyspnea-producing stimuli are integrated. The specific integration site is probably in the region of the brain stem, since occasional patients with brain stem lesions do not experience dyspnea despite the presence of a number of dyspnea-producing stimuli.

7 FAQs about designing devices and ecosystems for reliability and durability in extreme environments
In today's hyperconnected world, reliable connectivity is crucial to ensuring that devices and electronics ecosystems work properly in all conditions. Fischer Connectors' article published in Connector Supplier's 'High-Reliability, Harsh-Environment Connectivity' eBook provides critical insights into when to use and how to select truly reliable and rugged connectivity solutions and explores design best practices through seven frequently asked questions and three harsh environment application examples in the medical, energy and extreme sports sectors.
Connectors and cables may be small but they are essential components that enable electronic devices and equipment to function safely and properly. If a single connector malfunctions, the whole device fails, and the entire electronic ecosystem in which this device is integrated collapses. Hence the importance of choosing ultra-reliable connectivity solutions capable of meeting the quality and performance requirements of any operational environment.
Rugged connectors are specifically designed to withstand extreme conditions, but there is no one-size-fits-all type of rugged connector. Each type of connectivity solution has unique qualities and features that make it suitable for use in specific application environments. This makes selecting rugged connectors particularly challenging. Defining the right specifications for your device's connecting needs from the outset will help ensure that it works in even the most extreme environments.
Full article by Sébastien Kempter in Connector Supplier's '2021 High-Reliability, Harsh-Environment Connectivity' eBook (pp. 21-26), "Seven FAQs About Designing Devices and Ecosystems for Reliability and Durability in Extreme Environments":
 1. What exactly do we mean by rugged?
 2. Why opt for rugged connectors?
 3. What are the key technical requirements for rugged connectors?
 4. Which sealing criteria are most relevant?
 5. Which international standards are relevant?
 6. Which tests should be conducted?
 7. Where to obtain expert advice and customized solutions?
The article includes three application examples:
 - Hermetic and High-Voltage Connectors for SteriLux's Sterilization System
 - Hermetic, Shielded Connectivity Solutions for Precision and Reliability at CERN
 - Sealed, Versatile Fiber Optic Solutions for Optimal Fata Management in the America's Cup


Is there a minimum number of slices when running the N4 Filter
When running the N4 filter as part of my (c#) code, I see that if the input image has only 1 slice I get an error, even if I set ShrinkFactor=1. The error message is:
Exception thrown in SimpleITK N4BiasFieldCorrectionImageFilter_Execute: d:\a\1\sitk-build\itk-prefix\include\itk-5.2\itkImageBase.hxx:165:
ITK ERROR: Image(00000218C297CE70): A spacing of 0 is not allowed: Spacing is [0, 123, 123]
With 2 slices or more, I don't get an error (as long as the shrink factor is 1).
Will be glad for any advice - thank you!
Hello _USER_,
This is strange. When you read a single 3D slice you should have an image of size [x,y,1] and spacing [dx,dy,1.0]. Not sure how a spacing of zero happens in your case.
Possibly a manually created image and not one read from disk?
I get the same error also when trying to run the N4 filter from within the "Slicer" application when input-ing a single dicom slice extracted from a 3d dicom image.
How would it matter if the image is ""manually created" vs read from the disk?
When working with a 3D "slice", with a dimension of size 1, frequently the image needs to be reduced to 2D.
The ExtractImageFilter can be used to convert a 3D image into a 2D image. When the extraction size has a "0" value for a dimension then that dimension will be collapsed and the output dimension reduced by 1.
Also the SimpleITK ImageFilterReader can take an extraction size (and index) to perform the same operation as part of the IO. Here is an example: Advanced Image Reading — SimpleITK 2.0rc2 documentation

In this letter, a novel radial velocity estimation and range shift compensation algorithm is proposed for high-range resolution profiling of moving targets in stepped-frequency (SF) radar. Compared to traditional methods, this algorithm is based on a more precise signal model, and can therefore achieve much higher estimation accuracy. Furthermore, the range shift problem caused by target motion can be resolved without alterations to the radar waveform. The performance of this algorithm is demonstrated using simulated and experimental results.

Training and Aesthetic Concerns
Large farms and ranches are advised to develop personnel training programs for proper instruction of humane euthanasia techniques. As indicated in the previous discussion, the skill and experience of personnel are of paramount importance when gunshot or penetrating captive bolt/exsanguination or pithing and/or the injection of KCl are used for euthanasia of sick and debilitated animals. Experience has shown that many people (even those experienced in handling livestock) are not aware of the anatomical landmarks for proper execution of these techniques. Furthermore, persons should be aware that there is significant danger for the operator (or for bystanders with gunshot) whenever these methods of euthanasia are used. On large farms or ranches, most, if not all, persons should be familiar with these procedures and several should be specifically trained to perform this task. However, only those who can demonstrate a working knowledge and proficiency with the techniques should be permitted to perform euthanasia procedures. When these methods are not properly performed, animals may become injured, have varying degrees of consciousness, and experience needless pain and distress.
Experienced persons should assist in the training of inexperienced persons and utilize carcasses to demonstrate anatomical landmarks and application of the various techniques. Carcasses should be used for practice by trainees until they become competent with the euthanasia devices and procedures. People must also be aware of how to confirm death.
Both gunshot and penetrating captive bolt are aesthetically displeasing procedures. Euthanasia by either technique results in involuntary movements that may be inaccurately interpreted as painful to an inexperienced person. Therefore, when and where possible, it is recommended that such procedures be performed in areas out of the public view.

4 challenges you'll face when making friends in a new country
When you're living abroad away from friends and family, it might be a challenge to get settled and feel completely at home. And without having your family members around, having friends you can talk to would be really helpful especially if you're always feeling homesick. However, some international students find it harder than others to make friends. We identify a few reasons why that might be which most students may relate to.
Entering adulthood
Undertaking overseas study and living abroad for the first time is the first step into adulthood for many young international students. And part of being an adult is to be independent – to try and solve certain problems on your own instead of seeking help from others. The sense of maturity, coupled with newfound independence can make it difficult for students to reach out for help.
Cultural and language differences
International students tend to click more with people from the same country at first because of the same culture and language spoken. But when they mesh with other students both local to Australia and from other parts of the world, cultural and language barriers often make it difficult to find something common to bond over.
Different and busy schedule
During orientation week, you might have made a couple of new friends at the start but as classes start, things may begin to change. Different courses and schedules will inevitably make it harder to catch up. You might not even see them again after orientation. This problem isn't just exclusive to international students and can even happen to locals as well so you may have to get used to the idea of having to look for other friends you can hang out with.
If you do find yourself dating someone else while you're studying abroad, you might think this is actually a great thing. You'll always have someone to keep you company and do things with. But as you spend more time with your partner, you may not feel the need to socialise with new people. A partner is important but so is surrounding yourself with additional company.

Solutions: How you can make it easier to connect with others
It's not all doom and gloom however. International students have every chance to make friends and meet new people during their studies as everyone else. We spoke to Trinity College's student counsellor, Anita Krautschneider, who offered her own advice for international students on how they can simply make friends.
1. Find friends who have the same interest with you. Joining school clubs are always the best opportunity to make new friends and build connections. Clubs always have regular meetings and gatherings. So, you can spend time with your like-minded friends.
2. Struggling in finding topics? Share your experience and story with your friends. Because they will respond and talk about their experience as well. It is a great opportunity to make a strong bond because it can build a deeper conversation between you and your mates. Also, sharing experience is better than asking boring questions such as "What class do you have?"
3. Ask your friends to have lunch or dinner together. It is a very good chance for meeting friends because nobody will say NO to food!
4. Volunteer in events. You can always meet people from different schools. It creates wondering memories and it is always meaningful.
5. Don't stick with your partner all the time, give yourself some time to spend it with your friends. They are also the one who support and understand you. Be more aware of the relationship with your friends. Once you break up, you will not have friends you can rely on.
6. Don't need to worry! It always takes times to make friends, especially close friendship.
If you're ever struggling with homesickness or you feel lonely in an unfamiliar environment, hang in there. It gets easier. If you need professional help, seek guidance from your university counsellor.

R Question
R matplot match legend color to line color
Here is my data:
name a b c
alex 25.4347 18 1.81
brian 0.14354 220 1.4
chris 51.39 1.5 1.05
david 0.8465 75 1.42

henry 0.2797 100 1.35
isaac 10.14 7 1.08
jacob 0.03768 480 1.85
I'd like to plot a lines for each person, with each person having a different formula according the a, b, and c parameters.
I write this code to plot the lines:
s = seq(-60,20,by =.1)
matplot(s,t(sapply(s, function(x) ifelse(dt$name == "alex" |
dt$name == "brian" |
dt$name == "chris" |
dt$name == "david",
dt$a*((dt$b + x)^dt$c),
dt$a*((x - dt$b)^dt$c)))),
type = "l", lty = "solid", lwd = 2, ylab = "y axis label", xlab = "x axis title")
legend("left", legend = dt$name, lty=c(1,1), lwd=c(2.5,2.5), col = dt$name)
However, I can't get the legend colors to match with the line colors. I get an error saying that the first name is not a color. Any help?
Answer
You need to set col to valid colour in both matplot() and legend(). Suppose you want colour setting col_set <- rainbow(nrow(dt)), we can then do:
s = seq(-60,20,by =.1)
matplot(s,t(sapply(s, function(x) ifelse(dt$name %in% c("alex", "brian", "chris", "david"),
 dt$a*((dt$b + x)^dt$c),
 dt$a*((x - dt$b)^dt$c)))),
 type = "l", lty = "solid", lwd = 2, ylab = "y axis label",
 xlab = "x axis title", col = col_set)
legend("left", legend = dt$name, lty=c(1,1), lwd=c(2.5,2.5), col = col_set)
enter image description here
Also note how I replace your long == with a single %in%.

40,000sqm (land), 6,000sqm (building)
NEXTDC M2 is a Tier IV Designed and Constructed facility – the first in Victoria and NEXTDC's second in Australia. The main feature of Tier IV certification is Fault Tolerance, and Certification of Constructed Facility shows that NEXTDC's M2 facility has undergone rigorous on-site auditing and testing by Uptime Institute to confirm its ability to withstand individual equipment failures or distribution path interruptions and maintain IT operations. M2 was previously awarded Tier IV Certification for Design Documents (TCDD), the precursor certification for Tier Certification of Constructed Facility (TCCF). Uptime Institute Tier IV is the peak of the Tier Classification System created to consistently evaluate individual data centre performance. NEXTDC's research and development methodology enabled the delivery of Tier IV data centres at capital costs per megawatt that are competitive with Tier III facilities.
The Structure for NEXTDC M2 is designed and constructed at Seismic importance Level 4: Buildings that must be operational immediately after an earthquake or other disastrous events, such as emergency shelters and hospital operating theatres, triage centres and other critical post-disaster infrastructure.
Data Hall 1 was fitted out and supplied by 6 externally-mounted IEC air conditioning units, integrated fitout with computer racks, bus ducts and associated services. The date hall maintains strict temp and humidity levels using specialised room pressurisation units. A new structural grid ceiling supported the services suspended from the ceiling and provided a hot return-air plenum for the air conditioning. The front of house area was fitted out as office and client areas, which was separated from the data halls by a fire and bullet resistant barrier. Power is supplied at 22kV, then reduced on site to 400V using 200kVA transformers. Uninterrupted power is supplied to the building by independent powertrains. Powertrains consist of containerised generators and rotary UPS, connected through an Iso-Parallel Ring. This is distributed throughout the building using multiple, fire-isolated bus duct risers to supply flexible power supplies to the data halls. The building has been rated as a Tier IV facility by the Uptime Institute, a leading international data centre authority. This is the highest ranking offered by Uptime for redundancy and fault tolerance and M2 is the first in Victoria to be constructed to this standard. This was achieved by having multiple mechanical and electrical service reticulations, fire isolated from each other. Another Uptime consideration was flood proofing of liquids stored on site (water, diesel). This was achieved through the careful detailing of storage areas incorporating bunding and waterproofing into the design. The building also contains an inert gas suppression system for the technical spaces, requiring air-tight construction to maintain conditions during a discharge.

Harrowing moment rare white tiger tries to nurse stillborn cub back to life at North Korean zoo as children are ordered told to clap and cheer
- Experts said mentally distressed tiger and her cub should have been seen by vet
- Zoo has been a favourite with North Korea's supreme leaders for generations
- Experts added that the animals were showing 'classic signs of torment'
Pyongyang Central Zoo played host to the agonising cries of a mother tiger standing over her dead cub, trying to revive its lifeless body.
The mentally distressed big cat and her mate pacing up and down the enclosure were neglected by staff who disregarded them, said experts.
Welfare experts reacted in complete disbelief after being shown the conditions of the zoo that has been a favourite with North Korea's supreme leaders for generations.

Most of the animals were gifted to the zoo from around the world, but the Mirror have reported that it falls well below the standards expected.
Sickeningly, children were even urged to cheer and clap by their teachers. Experts suggest this is extremely bad for animal's mental well-being.
Humane Society International's Wendy Higgins said: 'This is a devastating, rare insight into the shockingly poor existence of animals at this zoo.
'It's little wonder that we see big cats here demonstrating stereotypical repetitive cage pacing, classic signs of mental distress as the animals struggle to cope with the monotony and deprivation.'

Experts added that the animals were showing 'classic signs of torment' and described the attraction as 'one of the worst cases of psychological abuse of animals ever seen'.
The Mirror reported that their journalists only saw two zoo keepers in their two hour journey around the grounds.
They added that their minders thought nothing of the disgraceful conditions and even showed pride in the zoo at certain points.
The zoo was opened in 1959 by Kim Il-sung, Jong-un's grandfather and the original Supreme Leader of North Korea.

The Kims claimed to be animal enthusiasts, with Jong-un admiring the deadly snakes and investing millions in upgrading the zoo in 2016, ordering the main entrance to take the shape of a huge tiger's head.
Kim Il-sung visited the site 20 times, his son Kim Jong-Il 31 times and current leader Jong-un six times so far, but the interest has done nothing for the welfare of the animals.
Dr Chris Draper, head of welfare at animal rights organisation Born Free Foundation, said the zoo was 'totally inappropriate' for all the animals.
He told the Mirror: 'Their cages are small, bare and there is no means of retreat from public view for them. It is most alarming to see the mother [tiger] and stillborn cub. There should've been a vet on the scene straight away.'

In python I can do this:
def f((a, b)):
 return a + b
d = (1, 2)
f(d)
Here the passed in tuple is being decomposed while its being passed to f.
Right now in scala right now I am doing this:
def f(ab:(Int, Int)) : Int = {
 val (a, b) = ab
 a + b
}
val d = (1, 2)
f(d)
Is there something I can do here so that the decomposition happens while the arguments are passed in? Just curious.
Thanks.

You can create a function and match its input with pattern matching:
scala> val f: ((Int, Int)) => Int = { case (a,b) => a+b }
f: ((Int, Int)) => Int
scala> f(1, 2)
res0: Int = 3
Or match the input of the method with the match keyword:
scala> def f(ab: (Int, Int)): Int = ab match { case (a,b) => a+b }
f: (ab: (Int, Int))Int
scala> f(1, 2)
res1: Int = 3
Another way is to use a function with two arguments and to "tuple" it:
scala> val f: (Int, Int) => Int = _+_
f: (Int, Int) => Int = <function2>
scala> val g = f.tupled // or Function.tupled(f)
g: ((Int, Int)) => Int = <function1>
scala> g(1, 2)
res10: Int = 3
// or with a method
scala> def f(a: Int, b: Int): Int = a+b
f: (a: Int, b: Int)Int
scala> val g = (f _).tupled // or Function.tupled(f _)
g: ((Int, Int)) => Int = <function1>
scala> g(1, 2)
res11: Int = 3
// or inlined
scala> val f: ((Int,Int)) => Int = Function.tupled(_+_)
f: ((Int, Int)) => Int = <function1>
scala> f(1, 2)
res12: Int = 3

Looks nice! I didn't realize I could use a case statement without an enclosing match. – verma Jul 23 '12 at 15:40
How about:
 ab._1 + ab._2
The _1, _2 etc. access the different elements of the tuple.
share|improve this answer

Well, this would be analogous to do doing def f(a): a[0] + a[1] in python. I am really not trying to avoid that additional val (a, b) = ab assignment here. – verma Jul 23 '12 at 15:35

Often asked: How close to the sidewalk can i build a fence?
How close can you build to a fence?
Fences must not be higher than three metres, or 1.2 metres if the fence is built from masonry. When the lot is adjacent to a residential zone, at least 75 per cent of the part of the fence that is above 1.8 metres in height, must be transparent.
Do I need my neighbors permission to build a fence?
As long as the fence is completely on your property, you can put it up without needing your neighbors permission. If the existing fence is on both your properties, you would need your neighbors permission to take it down.
Can I build a fence next to my neighbors fence?
A general rule (not sure if your neighbors abide to it) is to build the fence 1-2 feet inside your property line. You best option is to ask them to join your new fence to it and get a simple contract to protect yourself. Either that or put up all four sides in your property.
How close to my property line can I build?
1. Side and Rear Yards. Yard structures under six feet in height may be located up to a side or rear property line subject to building code and fire code limitations. Yard structures six feet in height or over shall be located at least three feet from any property line and shall not exceed 12 feet in height.
Can my Neighbour attach things to my fence?
Can my neighbour attach or nail things to my fence? The short answer to this question is, of course, "no". If you own the fence and you have not granted your neighbour permission to do so, they are not allowed to attach or nail things to your fence.
We recommend reading: Readers ask: How can i get free stuff to review?
Can my Neighbour build up to my boundary?
The short answer is "yes, subject to serving a valid notice and following the processes set out in The Party Wall Act. The party wall act only applies to "structures" (ie: a wall with a foundation), it does not apply to timber fences or other screens.
How do you tell if a fence is yours or neighbors?
Determine ownership by occupancy if the fence lies between or directly on the property line. Whoever uses the land up to the fence is considered the owner. If you have grass and mow the area directly up against the fence but your neighbor allows the weeds to grow on his/her side, then you own the fence by occupancy.
When building a fence who gets the good side?
Face the finished side of the fence toward your neighbor
The finished side should face toward your neighbor. Not only is this more polite, but it's the standard. Your property will look a lot nicer with the "goodside facing the outside world. Otherwise, your fence will look like it was installed backward.
What happens if Neighbour refuses to pay for fence?
In most states, adjoining owners must share the cost of the fence. That obligation only occurs if the fence is inadequate or there is no fence. There are exceptions: If one neighbour damages the fence, they have to pay for the entire costs of restoring it.
Can I legally paint my side of Neighbours fence?
If you want to change anything about a fence that legally belongs to your neighbour, you should ask their permission first – even if you're only painting or staining your side of the fence.
We recommend reading: Question: How can i find out if i was adopted?
Who owns the fence between neighbors?
Who owns the dividing fence? In most states, if you and your neighbour are both owner-occupiers, you share equal responsibility for the dividing fence on your land. Generally, that means you pay an equal share of the cost of a 'sufficient' fence. The definition of 'sufficient' differs from state-to-state.
Is it rude to put up a privacy fence?
It is rude to erect a fence in such a way that it extends several inches onto your property. The neighbor will be justified to demand total removal of the fence. The same applies to unruly bushes on your fence that may spread onto the yard of your neighbor.
Can a Neighbours gutter overhangs my property?
It is a well established principle that you own the airspace above your land, so if your neighbour's gutters overhang your land then they may be a trespass, even if you cannot reach them or they don't interfere with the day to day use of your land.
How close can a shed be to a Neighbour's fence?
Within 2 metres of a boundary the maximum height of a shed or any other building is 2.5 metres, but that shed or building can be right up against the boundary. The 3 metre flat roof and 4 metre pitched roof buildings will have to be more than2 metres from the boundary.
How close can a shed be to a neighbor's house?
Any shed must be built at least 2.5m away from the main house. It's advisable to be able to walk round all four sides, or however many you choose. This gives you access for decorating and repair.

A Biological Sensor for Detecting Foreign Bodies Using a Balloon Probe
For effective medical treatment, sensors that can find foreign bodies such as tumors in early stage are required. This paper describes a new sensor for foreign body detection utilizing the fact that the property hardness of foreign bodies differs from that of normal tissues. It consists of a balloon probe, which is constructed with a thin rubber membrane inflated with compressed air, and an optical deformation analyzing system. Experiments are carried out using samples in which single hard balls are embedded to model single tumor in soft tissue. It was confirmed that this sensor can detect the existence of the hard ball and can also distinguish the inequality of size and hardness of the ball. Furthermore, experimental results detecting multi-objects showed that this sensor has the ability to detect the existence of multi objects and their relative positions simultaneously. By measuring the consistence of the arm and the abdomen of human body, it is proved that the sensor is also suitable for consistence measurement of human anatomy.

What is a Collimator Lens
1. Overview of collimator lens
The collimator lens is for point light sources, and the so-called point light sources, we see more in our lives, such as: match head lighting, old-fashioned flashlight bulbs, and lasers coming out of energy fibers. For the industrial laser industry, the collimator lens basically refers to the laser coming out of the energy transmission fiber.
After passing through the fiber collimator lens, the laser enters the focusing mirror of the fiber cutting machine. According to theory, the focal length of the collimator lens, the focal length of the focusing lens = the ratio of the energy density after focusing to the previous density, such as: the focal length of the collimator lens is 75mm, the focal length of the focusing lens is 150mm, 75/150=1/2, that is, the area of the focused spot behind the mirror is twice as large as the area of the point light source just coming out of the energy fiber, and the energy density is 1/2 of the original.
2. Why reduce the energy density of the collimator lens?
Someone asked, why do you want to lower the energy density? Isn't it better to concentrate the energy density? There are several reasons:
First: If the focal length of the focusing lens is shorter, the depth of focus of the focusing lens is shallower, and the shallow depth of focus will easily lead to incomplete cutting.
Second: The shorter the focal length, the smaller the focus point, and the smaller the slit. Small slits are not conducive to the falling of the cut slag, resulting in impenetrable cutting. Therefore, we generally try to use the focal length between 120-150mm as the focusing lens of the fiber cutting machine.
In addition, why do we not use a long focal length collimator? Two reasons are involved here: ① The use of a long focal length fiber collimator lens requires a larger lens diameter, which will lead to more troublesome mechanical design; ② Use a long focal length fiber collimator lens will cause it to be very sensitive to the focus point of the fiber cutting machine when focusing. Once it deviates from the focus of the focusing lens a little bit, it will not cut through. This is why the focus of the fiber cleaver is generally between 60-100mm.

Ethiopia Can Generate a Surprisingly 60,000 MW of Clean Energy
According to a study cited by Corporate Communication Chief Officer with Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo), Misikir Negash, Ethiopia has proven to be a novel source of renewable energy with great potential.
The hydroelectric, wind and geothermal resources can be harvested to generate approximately 60,000 MW of electricity. Ethiopia's potential capacity is unevenly generated from the clean energy sources, as follows: 45,000 MW from hydroelectric power, 10,000 MW from wind and 5,000 MW from geothermal sources.
Ethiopia is currently capable to generate about 2,000 MW, mostly obtained from hydroelectric power and plans to expand it up to 8,000 MW in the next five years.
The state-run news agency, ENA, reported also that a 120MW wind power plan has been set up in Tigray State and similar projects are to begin in Adama, Aysha (located between Dire Dawa and Dewelle), Debreberhan and Mesebo.
Summing up, Ethiopia has set a daring target of expanding the country's electric coverage from 41% to 75% in the following five 5 years. Moreover, there will be a premiere in the electric sector, as EEPCo will install a 500 kV high-voltage electric cable covering up to 434 km.

In horses, there are two main classes of spotting patterns. One is the Leopard complex, created by the Lp gene, characterized by small spots, seen in breeds such as the Appaloosa and the Knabstrupper. The other group is Pinto, also known as piebald, skewbald, tricoloured, blagdon, and calico in various English-speaking nations. The Pinto group consists of at least four genetically distinct patterns: 1) Tobiano, a dominant gene (TO); 2) Frame overo, an incomplete dominant that create spotting when heterozygous, but is lethal when homozygous, (O); 3) Splashed white, which has yet to be genetically mapped, and may be created by more than one genetic mechanism; and 4) Sabino, which is also created by more than one genetic mechanism, with one form, SB-1 mapped, but SB-1 does not encompass all sabino horses.

Weekly Pivot Points, monthly Fibonacci retracements, multi-frame highs and lows and an uncountable amount of averages allow us to give this level the name of "The Wall".
Crypto Technical Confluences Indicator
preferred brokers in your location
What are the Technical Confluences?
The TCI (Technical Confluences Indicator) is a tool to locate and point out those price levels where there is a congestion of indicators, moving averages, Fibonacci levels, Pivot Points, etc. Knowing where these congestion points are located is very useful for the trader, and can be used as a basis for different strategies.
HOW TO READ THE CHART?
Confluence of technical levels
This tool assigns a certain amount of "weight" to each indicator, and this "weight" can influence
The tool detects and draws those price levels in which the confluences of indicators and key levels are recorded. Blank lines represent areas where the price can move without technical resistance. The levels with the highest assigned weight of resistance are drawn with the darker colour, this colour being degraded as the influence of the maximum levels decreases.
You can see which indicators are within each price level by placing the cursor on the level. The explanation uses a code that indicates:
- Recent maximums and minimums
- Round numbers. Round numbers have a psychological effect on traders, so we assign the finished price levels at 0, 00 and 000 some degree of resistance.
- Short-term highs and lows
- Pivot Points
- Bollinger bands
- Fibonacci retracements
HOW TO USE IT?
With the TCI tool, you can easily locate areas where the price can find a support zone or resistance zone and make trading decisions. If you are a short-term trader, you will find entry points for counter-trend strategies and hunt a few points each time. If you are a mediumand long-term trader, this tool will allow you to know in advance the price levels in which a medium / long-term trend can stop your travel and rest, where to undo positions or
The length of the bars of the TCI tool is determined by the weight assigned by the algorithm at each price level. The longest bar in a confluence indicates the level of the price segment where the highest level of confluence of the segment is located. In case of similar levels in the same price range, the maximum length will be assigned to that bar with more accumulated indicators.

Text description provided by the architects. St. Joseph is a concrete form to be made habitable independent of the building site. The concrete shell is placed at the edge of the remainder of a plain along the Danube floodplains. Its basic measurements are 615 cm by 620 cm by 2230 cm. The concrete form is set on 4 supports – one one-legged element, two two-legged elements and one three-legged element. Its distance from the ground ranges from 120 cm to 210 cm.
A second form, soft, white and independent of the outer shell, is set within the concrete shell. The white form opens up and programs – makes habitable, if you wish – the concrete shell's inner area, which is 2165 cm long and approx. 515 cm high. These are two interleaved forms, each with a different hardness and materiality.


If automatic IP address allocation is enabled in Weave Net (by default IPAM is enabled), then containers started via the proxy are automatically assigned an IP address, without having to specify any special environment variables or any other options.
host1$ docker run -ti weaveworks/ubuntu
To use a specific subnet, you can pass a WEAVE_CIDR to the container, for example:
host1$ docker run -ti -e WEAVE_CIDR=net: weaveworks/ubuntu
To start a container without connecting it to the Weave network, pass WEAVE_CIDR=none, for example:
host1$ docker run -ti -e WEAVE_CIDR=none weaveworks/ubuntu
Disabling Automatic IP Address Allocation
If you do not want an IP to be assigned by default, the proxy needs to be passed the --no-default-ipalloc flag, for example:
host1$ weave launch --no-default-ipalloc
In this configuration, containers using no WEAVE_CIDR environment variable are not connected to the Weave network.
Containers started with a WEAVE_CIDR environment variable are handled as before. To automatically assign an address in this mode, start the container with a blank WEAVE_CIDR, for example:
host1$ docker run -ti -e WEAVE_CIDR="" weaveworks/ubuntu

The network interface to a LON device is always defined as a set of datapoints. A LON device can define any set of datapoints, but a LON device can provide more information about its datapoints by organizing the datapoints into blocks where the definition of a block is specified by a profile. Hundreds of standard profiles are defined, and you can define your own profile if a standard profile is not suitable. To view standard profiles and define your own profiles, download and install the IzoT Resource Editor.
Based on earlier instruction, you should have the folder smartserver-iot, which is a clone of the
izot/smartserver-iot public Github repository (see this page Setting Up Your Development Environment). In this folder, find the file
./apps/Example Support Files/ApolloDev.zip.
After you have installed the IzoT Resource Editor, extract the contents of the ApolloDev.zip file to this folder
c:\Users\Public\Documents\LonWorks\types\Echelon\ApolloDev. There are four files in the ApolloDev archive that define user types, configuration properties, and functional profiles used for exercises is this documentation. These resources build on the standard LonMark types.
The SmartServer uses the program ID to select the correct definitions for a resource. For this example, the manufacture ID is the ID for Dialog.
Adding and Existing Resource File Set to the Resource Catalog
- Launch the IzoT Resource Editor. You will see a tree view of resources that are installed on your computer. If you followed the instructions in the first paragraph above, you should have the files of the ApolloDev resources on your computer, but you still need to add them to the resource catalog.
- Select Ldrf.Cat at the root of the tree and right click to select Add Folder.
- Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the ApolloDev resources.
- The result of this action adds the resources for this example to the resource catalog. Notice how the resources are scoped to the Manufacturer Dialog, and are more finely scoped at level 4 category for generic controllers. IAP has well defined rules for selecting different parts of the 16 hex byte-encoded fields of the resource file program ID. In this example, the resource file scope 4 program ID mask is 90 00 01 06 00 00 00 00. When a LON device XIF file is created with the first 5 hex bytes encoded to match 90 00 01 06 00, the interface can call out user defined resources in this resource file. If you right-click and select Properties, you can see the details of the program ID assigned to this resource file set as shown here.
- The power of IAP resource definitions comes from the definition of standard types to allow devices created from different manufactures to directly share data without ambiguity related to units and resolution. As a rule, standard types use SI units on the wire. For example, in building automation comfort control applications, there are a number of standard types: device temperature (SNVT_temp_p), pressure, (SNVT_press_p), flow (SNVT_flow), and HVAC equipment specialized complex types like SNVT_hvac_status, which include multiple related values in a single data unit. As of this writing, there are 225 standard types already defined by IAP. You can view the standard types in the IzoT Resource Editor.
- Standard Network Variable Types (SNVTs) are bricks in in the foundation of interoperability. SNVT types are used to define Standard Configuration Properties (SCPTs), which have more precise meaning. For instance, a discharge air controller may be configured to have more than one set point for duct static pressure, and the individual SCPTs provide clarity. SNVTs and SCPTs are collected together under interoperable units of functionality called standard profiles. A standard profile describes required and optional network variable inputs, outputs, and SCPTs used to configure operation of the profile. IAP has defined over 156 standard profiles as of this writing. If your goal is to create a VAV controller to interoperate with other devices, you would start development by considering the SFPTsccVAV profile.
- For this example, we have created a user profile in the ApolloDev resource file set called UFPTDspSPcontroller as shown in the following screenshot. You can review the details using the IzoT Resource Editor.
In this section you have installed the IzoT Resource Editor, and added an existing resource files set (ApolloDev.zip) to the LonMark Device Resource catalog. At this point, a device XIF file that references these resources can be installed and managed with tools based on IzoT Net Server such as IzoT CT. The IzoT Net Server software includes libraries that are Windows specific to handle parsing the type information. In the next section we will see how to use the IzoT Resource Editor to modify resources and to generate reports that make these resources available for other operating platforms, specifically the SmartServer IoT.

Ridgewood High School teacher lauded by NJ Inventors Hall of Fame
A few years ago, using blackberry juice and titanium dioxide, a non-toxic ingredient found in powdered sugar, Ridgewood "High School (RHS) science teacher Lillian Labowsky and her students began making dye-sensitized nanocrystalline solar cells with enough "juice" to power a calculator.
Three years after Labowsky began the project, which was funded through a National Science Foundation (NSF) program that paired graduate students and grade school teachers to promote science education, it is clear Labowsky did not just help her students make power - she also empowered them to invent.
For her involvement in the innovative two-year project, Labowsky has received accolades from both the state and the "district.
The physics and chemistry teacher was recently recognized by the Board of Education (BOE) for the 2012 "Advancement of Invention" Award she received from the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame (NJIHoF) in "October.
She was one of only 25 scientists in the state, including three Nobel Prize laureates, to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. Labowsky was nominated for the award by a Stevens Institute of Technology graduate who helped her with the NSF program project. She was chosen because, according to the NJIHoF, her teaching is "inspiring the next generation of scientists."
In a press release, her passion for science was deemed of "special note" and called "inspiring" by NJIHoF President Les Avery.
It was a high honor worthy of a teacher whose students, when contacted, spoke of her obvious passion and enthusiasm. It was also not the first time Nobel Prize winners have been closely associated with Labowsky, who said she was inspired to teach by her Yale University thesis adviser John Fenn, winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
"It is my goal to try to inspire young scientists just as [Professor] Fenn inspired me," said Labowsky, who attended Fenn's Nobel Prize ceremony.
While Labowsky is no longer participating in the NSF program because of a two-year limitation, the solar cell project "is still going strong," she said. It has been integrated into her curriculum and expanded into a larger nanotechnology project.
"I hope this project will serve as an enriching real world connection for my students," she said. "We will continue to make blackberry juice solar cells to run small electronics as we did for the past three years, but we will also explore other advanced technology areas such as nano-medicine, nano-fibers, and nano-glues."


text: The contact line is a special kind of power overhead line with multiple electrical connections of wires, which form a complex topology of the linear electrical circuit. Analytical models simplify the real topology of the contact line and it limits their functional application. It is possible to take into account the topology of contact line when using tools of computer simulation, but it entails complicating the computational algorithms of the model. The aim of this article is to determine the conditions for the application of current distribution models and the development prospects in this area. The article describes the existing models for calculating the current distribution in DC contact line: a model of natural current distribution, linear analytical models, model with an infinite number of droppers, a model with a direct application of Kirchhoff's circuit laws in matrix form, and a finite element model. The article contains the main provisions and calculation capabilities of each model. Contact line KS-250-3 acts as a calculation catenary for the comparison of current distribution models. You can use the results of the article to select the optimal design distribution model for the design of the contact line, thermal analysis, current-carrying capacity calculation, identification and elimination of «weak point».

EDC is an increasingly common abbreviation for Every Day Carry. In it's simplest definition it means the things you carry every day, like car keys, a phone and maybe a pocket knife. EDC items are those that you carry in your pockets or in a reasonably sized bag that you use to accomplish daily tasks. The items vary depending on what a person does on a daily basis.
Because of this, EDC will tend to be very personalized to the individual. There is normally an emphasis on quality items that will function reliably, but disposable items like latex gloves are often found in an EDC bag. In some cases, EDC items will be fairly expensive, high quality items with an emphasis on lightweight but strong materials such as titanium and carbon fiber.
Most EDC items are selected to provide the user with a sense of preparedness and capability. These items will often be things that are a little bit overkill or unique, and EDC gear tends to constantlybe in a state of evolution as it is tailored to the user's requirements and preferences.
Common EDC items are listed below:
- Folding knife
- Multitool such as a Leatherman
- Wrist watch
- Cell phone
- Pen, pencil
- Pocket notebook
- First aid kit
EDC items often cross into tactical items such as larger knives, handguns, and pens that double as striking weapons or kubatons.

In setting design inflows to hydrodynamic models of flood flow along rivers, there can be a conflict between site-specific hydrological estimates of flow for a given return period and what the river model calculates as it routes flood hydrographs. This paper describes research carried out as part of the Flood Studies Update programme in Ireland, aimed at developing guidance on how to divide up river models and set the magnitude and timing of their inflows so that conditions in the model reach correspond to the expected design flood return period. A model for the joint distribution of flood peaks at pairs of catchments has been developed. The relationship between flood return periods is linked to physical differences between catchments. The model thus allows estimation of the statistical distribution of the flood return period expected at one site during a flood of specified return period elsewhere. A separate regression model predicts the relative timings of flood peaks on pairs of rivers. A summary of the resulting practitioner guidance is given, along with an overview of the testing of the method. The paper concludes with a discussion of the potential for application of the spatial dependence model to other problems in hydrology.

Which country has the best pilots?
Official IGC Pilot Ranking ListPositionCountry1-Germany2-Poland3-Czech Republic4-Great Britain35 more rows.
Who was the first female pilot?
Amelia EarhartAmelia Earhart worked at a military hospital during World War I, sparking her interest in aviation. She took her first plane ride in 1920, and flew across the Atlantic as a passenger in June 1928 — becoming the first woman to do so. She also became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic as a pilot in May 1932.
What percentage of pilots are female?
7 percentFemale pilots make up about 7 percent of all certificated pilots. Just 10 years ago the number was closer to 6.2 percent. Professional pilot ranks are even less diverse, with women holding 4.3 percent of airline transport pilot certificates.
Which airline has most female pilots?
Eastern nation airlinesEastern nation airlines employ the highest proportion of female pilots globally, accounting for 12.4% of their airline staff. Zoom Air, a regional airline in that country, tops the leaderboard. According to ISWAP, this company employs nine female pilots out of a total of 30 pilots on its staff.
Are females allowed to be pilots?
Today women's participation in the aviation sector is still low, but growing. As of 2010, just over 7% of certified civilian pilots (both private and commercial) in the United States were women. As of July 2014, approximately 5.12% of certified airline or commercial pilots in the United States are women.
Which country has the most number of female pilots?
Indian airlinesIndian airlines employ the highest proportion of female pilots at 12.4%. That's according to the latest statistics from the International Society of Women Airline Pilots (ISWAP). Zoom Air, a regional Indian airline, tops the leader board. ISWAP says it employs nine female pilots out of a total of 30.
Is it hard to become a pilot?
If becoming an airline pilot is your career objective; learning to fly an actual airplane is not the most difficult part. … Some smaller, regional airlines might require no more than a two-year degree, but if your goal is to one day captain a large, commercial jet, get your bachelor's degree.
Which country has most beautiful girls?
Women of These Countries are the Most Beautiful in the WorldTurkey. Meryem Uzerli, Actress. … Brazil. Alinne Moraes, Actress. … France. Louise Bourgoin, TV Actor Model. … Russia. Maria Sharapova, Tennis Player. … Italy. Monica Bellucci, Model. … India. Priyanka Chopra, Actor & Model. … Ukraine. … Venezuela.More items…•
Are pilots in high demand?
The median salary for the country's nearly 125,000 airline and commercial pilots is about $121,000, according to federal data. … Global demand was growing so quickly that airlines would need to hire 645,0000 pilots over the next two decades to keep up, about 131,000 of them in North America, Boeing predicted.
How many girl pilots are there?
As a female pilot, Shults is part of a small group. Just 6.3% of commercial pilots and 6% of non-commercial pilots in the United States are women, according to the Institute for Women of Aviation Worldwide, a nonprofit based in Vancouver. That's 6,081 commercial female pilots and 10,247 non-commercial female pilots.
Are Pilots rich?
(Most) pilots aren't rich. But if they're lucky, they'll have enough, which should be good enough for any pilot wife, too. If you're going through it right now, if you're feeling the pinch and feel like there's no way out, take heart, because you are not alone. The aviation industry is looking up, and there's hope.
How bad is the pilot shortage?
Frisch says he needs more pilots. … The pilot shortage is being felt by every airline. The Federal Aviation Administration reported in 2017 there were 609,000 pilots in the U.S. That number is down 30 percent from 30 years ago (827,000 pilots), while the number of passengers has grown.
