Path Analysis in Visio
The well-commented VBA code (provided by guest-poster Al Edlund) which accompanies this article will help you make programmatic sense of the elemental stuff of connected Visio diagrams: connectors, connection points, OneD shapes, Connect and FromConnect.
You'll also see how to produce connected diagrams, find out which shape is connected to which, and more importantly, do some path analysis to find the deeper meaning behind it all!
This guest post was developed and written by Al Edlund. Al is a fellow Microsoft Visio Most Valuable Professional (MVP), and is a networking expert, and a big fan of Visio. He's also told me that networking is also his hobby, so when he's working he's playing, and when he's playing he's working!
Thanks Al for a great effort, now take it away!
Connectors, Connections and Paths
I have seen a couple of recent requests that have focused on how to understand what is connected in a Visio drawing. What is sometimes missed is that there is a difference between connected and a path, which is a series of connections. This path deconstruction is sometimes referred to as graph analysis and is the study of how nodes (vertexes) attach to each other via "edges".
What is sometimes overlooked by the user who wants to analyze the drawing via automation is that there are two levels of domain specific knowledge that are needed. The first is what is being represented by the shapes on the page and the second is how the underlying add-in portrayed that information.
This led me to a put together a two-part project which you can read about in these pages, and download when you're done with the words. The project focuses on these two items:
- Demonstrates some concepts in analyzing a drawing's connections
- Analyzes the path information
Using the Path Analysis Application
Once you've OK'd the VBA macros in the Visio file and clicked the StartTest button on page one, you'll be presented with the project's main form:
Figure 1 Example Menu layout
The path analysis form has two groups. The left one is for demonstrating path analysis and the right one is for drawing (connection) analysis.
The path analysis has three sections: the analysis algorithm, the view layers, and the open Excel button. The analysis algorithms create topology pages to demonstrate search techniques. The edge information and path search information are drawn on different layers which can be turned on/off by the layer buttons. The Open Excel feature is included to allow the user to pull in external data. The description of the workbook/worksheets is included in the code module: modDrawData.
The ConnectionsSearch section has four buttons. Flowchart draws the modified Visio 2007 SDK navigation example. The Drawing button uses the included page connection search to capture the active page connections. The Network button discovers the data from the network page, and the PFD button discovers the data from the pipes/flow/diagram. Lastly, the Save2Excel8 button takes the data from the last analysis and exports it to an Excel2003 format.
The Visio SDK has an example of analyzing a drawing (DemoNavigatingDrawing) which combines both of these concepts (connection analysis and path analysis).
I've included a modified version of this flowchart analysis in the drawing.
Figure 2 Flowchart Example used
The modifications include:
- Adding an additional data entry function
- Including a control transfer shape.
I added these to demonstrate that:
- In a drawing that is aware of the 'directionality' of dynamic connectors the developer may have to adopt a strategy that verifies that all shapes have been included
- Shape.Type = OneD shapes which are not 'Dynamic connectors' may be in the information path.
I've included a network detail drawing as well which brings out a couple of other exposures. In this case the points that require attention include (once again) that OneD shapes may not necessarily be part of an information flow and (to make it a little more interesting) we have to track connector end-points based on their component and connection point.
Finally in the network connections the paths are assumed to be capable of 'full duplex' communications which removes the directionality aspect.
Figure 3 Network Detail Drawing used
Piping Flow (PFD)
The example of a piping flow drawing (provided by another user) as starting points has three sets of objects we want to track. These are equipment (vertices), piping (edges), and instrumentation (probes). The interesting point here is that a probe attaches to a OneD shape (pipes) in the example drawing.
Figure 4 Piping-Flow diagram used
Both the network detail and PFD drawings also demonstrate that you have to be aware of the underlying add-in that created the drawing. In the case of the PFD drawing shape text is stored in a user field.
The captured data from the connection analysis can be saved to an Excel spreadsheet. Excel in this code is 2007 Excel and doesn't do a lot of checking or error catching. It is there for convenience.
Figure 5 Excel Output (PFD drawing)
Path Analysis (Depth-first)
The second part of the project was to demonstrate some of the common methods for analyzing path information. The basic flows are excerpts from Data Structures and Algorithms Using Visual Basic.NET, a Michael McMillan book that was written for VB.NET.
I thought it would be fun to convert the concepts to VBA and then use Visio to draw the constructs and use layering to show how the algorithms worked. The data is based on two mandatory arrays (vertex and edge) and an optional array that allowed me to force some of the shapes to specific places on the page. A tutorial on this material goes well beyond what an article can cover. Mr. McMillan's book is also referenced in the code.
Figure 6 Path Analysis (depth first)
This code should not be considered as anything beyond demo code of some advanced concepts. When you open Visio's VBA integrated development environment, you'll see the following forms, modulas and classes:
Figure 7 Application objects
Here's a quick description of what each code file is about:
- frmPath user interface
- modDrawData the information used to initialize the three main arrays used to create the drawings used in the path analysis section
- modFlowchartNavigator the basic code used in the v2007 sdk that demonstrates an approach to moving through a visio flowchart
- modNavEnhanced an example of how analyzing a drawing might be enhanced using the two examples provided (Network Detail and PFD)
- clsDistOriginal object storage
- clsItemEdge object storage
- clsItemPoint object storage
- clsItempProbe object storage
- clsVertex object storage
- clsShapePos object storage
- clsMyCollection string / array manipulation
- clsMyGraph path analysis code

paintings can be very complex to deal with. Bark reacts to change in relative humidity and natural binders break down over time requiring consolidation (remedial work to prevent peeling paint and ensure the paint is stuck down on the bark). Treatments vary because natural ochres often react differently to the consolidant adhesives used as a binder. This can cause colour change and staining to the painting.
Some of the paint on this work has been extensively worn down, while the remaining paint is partially stable. Therefore, a consolidant will be applied in selected areas where the paint appears to be lifting or crumbling – a very delicate, time-consuming process.
Display of bark paintings is relatively straightforward, but requires care and sensitivity to minimise the risk of further damage.

Abstract
Technologies cannot help improve personal health if individuals do not use them. Information systems discipline has a strong heritage of technology adoption research. This case study introduces a behavior change support system (BCSS) aimed at improving health and well-being. Hermeneutics is used as a methodological approach to analyze open-ended responses from participants who had had an electronic health check but did not activate the following electronic health coaching. The data consist of textual feedback from a total of 2543 respondents. This article investigates the anomalies related to consumers' non-adoption of a BCSS. The research question addressed in this study is: What can anomalies reveal about BCSS acceptance? According to our findings, a positive attitude toward the system does not automatically increase acceptance. Usefulness of the electronic health system can be seen from a self-development perspective rather than from instrumental value. Credibility of the system, usability, and technical issues are also important for BCSS acceptance. This study brings new insights to the research fields of technological acceptance and persuasive technology; additionally, it provides a valuable example of a hermeneutics methodology and how new knowledge can be retrieved studying anomalies.

The Clark Photograph and Clippings Archive contains nearly a million images that were used to teach and study art in the early twentieth century. Sadly, some of these images represent the only remaining documentation of important works of art. The Lost Art Project draws on the Clark's photograph and clipping collection to highlight these important lost works.
Today's lost art work is St. Agnes by Alonso Cano (1601–1667):
St. Agnesis one of approximately 417 works of art from the Kaiser Friedrich Museum that was deposited in the Friedrichshain flak tower, or Flakturm, for safekeeping during the Second World War. The painting is presumed to have been destroyed when the tower was burned in May of 1945.

1. One of the quote I pick was "you got go back to slavary time." It has a something to do with inherit. They all have a connection with inherit.
2. This show quote show what they would use or tell people what this piano went through and was kept by this family.
3. The conflict was that they took it from there old slave master name Robert sutter.
4. I think they should keep the piano because it's the only thing they might have left of there family tree.

Budgets are part of management control designed to promote the efficient use of resources and providing support for other critical functions. The extent to which any budget is successful is very much dependant on its acceptance and the attitudes of workers towards it. This paper focuses on the crucial role of the behavioural aspects of budgeting and how an understanding of its importance can contribute to a successful budgeting process. It describes the nature of budgeting and analyses the budgeting process in organisations. The paper shows why budgeting is important to firms and describes the impact budgeting has on human behaviour such as motivation and dysfunctional behaviour. The behavioural aspects of the budgeting process are also examined. Finally, the public sector budgeting process is analysed, focussing on the need to tackle Beyond Budgeting issues in the 21st century whereby organisations budget without a budget. In the literature review, it was found that there was no perfect means of ensuring a successful budgeting process but there was general agreement in many areas of how the process might successfully assist. As with most concepts, there were mixed opinions on some issues such as benefits of participation as opposed to non-participation. What was common is the view that the budgeting process in particular and management control systems in general cannot afford to ignore the impact of behaviour on these processes.
Key words: Beyond Budgeting;...


logo_groovy.pngThe recent weeks I have been playing around with grails. When working with grails you have to learn groovy as well. Sometimes I am just amazed by the easiness of doing things with groovy. That is why I started out using groovy for a very small project (at least with groovy) to analyze an xml file as generated by the performance measurement framework Beet.
In this blog post I go step-to-step through a solution that analyzes the xml file and plots the results in a chart generated with jfreechart.
Introduction
Screen shot 2009-11-20 at 8.20.15 PM.pngIn one of my previous posts I have discussed a nice framework for easy performance measurement called Beet. You can find this post here: Using beet to monitor your (springframework) application. The result of a monitor session with beet can be an xml file. Nice, but how do you analyze this file? By hand? No way, you need a tool. Excel or Numbers can be fine, but it can be a lot faster. Therefore I decided to create a small groovy application.
The first requirement for me was very easy, read the events in the xml file and calculate the average of all events of a certain type. I asked a few of my collegues about their estimated effort when having to do it in java. They varied from 1 hour (pretty optimistic) to half a day. Curious how much time it took me?
First iteration
The first iteration was to calculate the overall average, an optimist of 2 hour java work. First you locate the file, than you slurp the xml out of the file. With the xml file in your hand, you obtain all events with a child element type with the value method. The following code block shows these three lines of code, yes for real, three lines.
def file = new File("beet-integration-web-perf.xml")
def xml = new XmlSlurper().parse(file)
def methodEvents = xml.event.findAll {it.type == "method"}
The next step is to take all durations from the found events. Using these durations, calculating the average is very easy.
def file = new File("beet-integration-web-perf.xml")
def xml = new XmlSlurper().parse(file)
def methodEvents = xml.event.findAll {it.type == "method"}
def durations = methodEvents*."duration-ms"
println "Average duration is ${durations.sum {it.toBigDecimal()} / durations.size()}"
That is it, this took me 10 minutes. And yes for 5 lines of code that is still a lot, but cut me some slag man, I am still learning groovy 🙂 . What I forgot to mention is that I use the groovyConsole to create and run the application.
Second iteration
The total average is nice, but with hundreds of measurements, not very useful. Of course we want more information on the data. To stretch myself a little bit, I had the idea to take the average of each minute and print that on screen. The next code block does just that, it calculates the averages of all measurements in the same minute and prints the result on the screen. When reading the code, take this tip. We create an array with all durations for each minute and put the result in a map with the minute as a key and the array with durations as a value.
def averages = [:]
def start = methodEvents[0].start.text()[0..16]
def minuteItems = []
methodEvents.each {
 def duration = it."duration-ms".toBigDecimal()
 def currentStart = it.start.text()[0..16]

 if (start == currentStart) {
 minuteItems.add duration
 } else {
 averages.put ((start),minuteItems)
 minuteItems = [duration]
 start = currentStart
 }
}
averages.each {key,value ->
 println "Minute : ${key} has average duration of ${value.sum {it.toBigDecimal()} / value.size()}"
}
Third and final iteration
Having this data written to the screen is oke, but a nice graph would be even better. For this I used a sample I found via google. Since the code is pretty straightforward, I just copy it in here.
def dataset = new DefaultCategoryDataset()
dataset.with{
 avarages.each {key,values ->
 def value = (values.sum {it.toInteger()} / values.size())
 addValue value , "average", key[-3..-1]
 }
}
def labels = ["Registered events total ${methodEvents.size()}", "Minute", "Average"]
def options = [true, true, true]
def chart = ChartFactory.createLineChart(*labels, dataset,Orientation.VERTICAL, *options)
def swing = new SwingBuilder()
def frame = swing.frame(title:'Groovy LineChart',
 defaultCloseOperation:WC.EXIT_ON_CLOSE) {
 panel(id:'canvas') { widget(new ChartPanel(chart)) }
}
frame.pack()
frame.show()
For those java people, check the way you can work with arrays in line 5. Counting from the end of the array, nice.
The result is shown in the next image.
Screen shot 2009-11-20 at 9.20.31 PM.png
That is about it, just two last things. First you need to add two jars to the classpath of groovy: jcommon-1.0.16.jar, jfreechart-1.0.13.jar. These are in the jfreechart download package. I used the mechanism to create a folder .groovy/lib in your root and add the jars to that folder.
The other thing I wanted to mention is the option to create a shell script from groovy. Just add the following line at the top and make your file executable and you are good to go.
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
That is it, in total 2 hours of work, not bad I think for a beginner in groovy with access to google. If you are good at groovy and you spot improvements, please let me know, I am eager to learn more.

Presenter: Dr. Richard Schneider, Nature Alberta Executive Director
Conservationists have been able to pull many species back from the brink of extinction and place them on the road to recovery. Local examples include whooping cranes, bison, swift foxes, and peregrine falcons. But not woodland caribou. It is one of Canada's iconic species—still featured on Canadian quarters—yet despite decades of conservation effort and millions of dollars of research, this species continues to struggle for its existence. Why is that?
Over his 30-year career as a conservation biologist working in Alberta, Dr. Richard Schneider has had a front-row seat to the unfolding story of woodland caribou recovery efforts in the province. In this presentation, Richard will discuss the natural history of woodland caribou, explore the key challenges that make caribou conservation so difficult, and provide an unvarnished perspective on what needs to change.

The Triaugmented Triangular Prism
The triaugmented triangular prism (J51) is the 51st Johnson solid. It has 9 vertices, 21 edges, and 14 triangular faces.
It can be constructed augmenting a triangular prism with 3 square pyramids. If only two square pyramids are added, the biaugmented triangular prism (J50) is produced. If only one square pyramid is added, the result is the augmented triangular prism (J49).
Here are some views of the triaugmented triangular prism from various angles:
The Cartesian coordinates of the triaugmented triangular prism, centered on the origin and with edge length 2, are:
- (±1, -1/√3, ±1)
- (0, 2/√3, ±1)
- (±(1+√6)/2, (1+√6)/(2√3), 0)
- (0, -(1+√6)/√3, 0)

Detect the language of the user, using the.mo
I have a little doubt. Using 2.9.2 and Wp BP 22.214.171.124.
The way that we can change the language from wp-config.php for example in Spanish. Do not use google translator or other service.
BP would be possible to detect the user's language and load the activity in Spanish or English. In the same way that Facebook loaded into Spanish in Spain and in English in the USA.

What Is Marketable Surplus?
by Ronald Kimmons
By describing something as "marketable," people in the business world mean that it is fit to sell on the market. Surplus is the amount of product that a company manufactures or produces in excess of what is necessary to continue operations. Marketable surplus is a term that agriculturalists use to refer to a specific type of surplus that farmers and ranchers deal with.
Farming requires investment. Farmers must make financial investments in labor, tools, fertilizer and land. They must also invest in seeds. If it is the farmer's first year to grow a certain crop, he probably has to purchase seeds from someone else. A farmer must also invest in the form of personal labor. The marketable surplus for an agricultural entrepreneur is the surplus of produce that exists after the point at which he can make back any money he paid to laborers or used to buy tools, fertilizer and land. If he takes some of the crop for his own family's consumption and to use as seed for the next year, he must account for this as well before calculating the marketable surplus. In this way, marketable surplus is what a farmer makes for his personal labor.
Marketable surplus is the portion of a harvest that a farmer can sell on the market to earn a profit. With this profit she can reinvest into farming operations by purchasing more land or better farming equipment. She may also simply save this profit or use it to purchase personal items.
In agriculture, farmers and ranchers can never know exactly how much product their efforts will yield for a particular season until it is over. For this reason, a farmer may not know what his marketable surplus will be until he actually harvests his fields. This uncertainty of the size of a crop's marketable surplus lends a certain level of uncertainty to the farmer's income expectations.
Marketed Surplus
Another term that closely relates to marketable surplus is marketed surplus. In some cases, these terms may be interchangeable. The principal difference is time perspective: marketable surplus is produce that a farmer currently has on hand to take to market to earn a profit, while marketed surplus is what she has already taken to market to earn a profit.

Statistics on average effective age and official age of retirement in OECD countries
One indicator of retirement behaviour that abstracts from more general factors
affecting the level of participation rates is the average effective age at which older workers withdraw from the labour force – for the sake of brevity, this will be referred to as the effective age of retirement. In most countries, the effective age of retirement is well below the official age for receiving a full old-age pension. Japan and Korea are notable exceptions where the effective age of retirement is close to 70 for men despite an official retirement age of 60. In other countries, men on average are still in the workforce at age 65 in Denmark, Iceland, Ireland, Portugal and Switzerland, but have left work by their 60th birthday in Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary, Luxembourg and the Slovak Republic. Women, in general, retire around one to two years earlier than men.
In almost all OECD countries, the effective retirement age has declined substantially since 1970. But the trend decline has been interrupted recently. Over the past decade, most countries have either experienced a flattening out of the trend or a small upturn. But apart from Japan and Korea, the effective retirement age remains well below the levels of the 1960s and 1970s. These changes over time in the effective retirement age have mostly occurred in parallel fashion for both men and women, despite the trend increase in female participation rates.

View Full Version : R1b1b above the "Limes"!?
23-02-15, 18:49
What are the roots of E1b1b (E-V13) living above the so called "Limes" (border of the Roman Empire)?
Eb1b above that line is not more than 3%. That is not much but one out of 33 can not be neglected.
On the internet and in the literature I see three theories about it:
E1b1b are Neolithic farmers who brought agriculture to the North. In Northern Europe this didn't went sudden but more gradual. The famers lived along the huntergatherers and finally mixed with them. Others have stated that this could not be the case because E1b1b expended from the Balkan not earlier than in the Bronze Age (Dienekes weblog).
The Roman theory from Steven Bird in which troops from the Balkan where due to higher E1b1b scores in Wales and parts of England. This can be a factor for these particular areas. But above Hadrian's Wall or the Rhine the Romans had no permanent stay. This makes the chances a lot smaller for Roman-German intermarriages than in their strongholds.
E1b1b is a Jewish heritage. This can partly be the case. But I've read that for 80% of the E1b1b Europeans this is not the case. Jewish are frequently represented in specific branches of E1b1b.
In my personal Y-DNA matter is my oldest known grand father Haye Jans most probably a farmer and/or sailor who lived in the seventeenth age in Wartena in the heart of Frisia. In this area is R1b-U106 (and some I1) way out dominant. So E1b1b (or E-117 or E-M35 or E-V13) dazzles me a bit. The closest match is with someone rooted in Sicily.... a remarkable fact (a nice Frisian-Sicilian combination:laughing:
Who can make me a little bit wiser?
Thanks in advance!

Excuse me it's E1b1b above the Limes in stead of E1b1b

marked" this clip as being "good."
P – This means this particular clip has a proxy file attached to it. Proxies can be generated by some of the P2 cameras if the optional AJ-YAX800G Proxy Card is installed. The HPX500 and HVX200 cannot generate proxy files.
T – This means this particular clip has at least one Text Memo marker attached to it. You can view the contents of the Text Memos in P2 Viewer, P2CMS or in a P2HD camcorder by selecting CLIP PROPERTIES for this clip.
E – This means that this particular clip is not camera-original footage, but was either edited on a computer or was created by copying a previous clip. A clip that was created by exporting a portion of a clip between two Text Memo markers (known as Text Memo Subclipping) would also bear this "E" mark.
W – This shows up for standard-definition clips that were recorded in the 16:9 aspect ratio. The "W" stands for Widescreen. This "W" mark doesn't show up on high-definition clips because all high-definition clips are always 16:9.
! – This indicates that the clip you're viewing is part of a multiple-clip "spanned clip," and that the remaining portions aren't currently present. For example, if you recorded one big long clip that spanned across two P2 cards, yet you only loaded one P2 card into your computer, this! indication would be displayed to let you know that the system only has access to part of the full footage. If you loaded the P2 card that contains the rest of this clip, the! indicator would disappear.
X – This indicator means that there's something wrong with your clip. If the "X" appears with a yellow background, you can usually repair the clip (using the "Repair Clip" function in the P2 Thumbnail menu). Usually this X will show up if you eject a P2 card while that card is being recorded to or if the power goes off (battery dies or AC power goes out) while recording. The P2 system is prepared for such issues and automatically saves the recorded files every two seconds, so if an interruption does occur you will usually only lose a few frames (up to the last two seconds). However, if you see a red X, that clip is damaged beyond repair and should be deleted.
? – This indicator means that the system cannot recognize your clip. This might happen if Panasonic introduces a new format, and your existing camera was made before that format was created (for example, if you put a P2 card with an AVC-Intra clip into a AJ-SPX800 camcorder, the SPX800 wouldn't understand what the AVC-Intra clip was and would, therefore, display the? indicator). This doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with your clip, just that your camcorder doesn't understand that clip (a more up-to-date camcorder probably would).
Can I use IEEE 1394 (Firewire) mode with AVC-Intra?
Not for live footage streaming; AVC-Intra is not supported over IEEE 1394 (Firewire) as a live data stream.
I heard that some P2 HD Camcorders have USB or 1394 host mode. What is it and how does it work? What's the difference between these two modes?
The Host Mode allows the P2HD camcorder (or P2HD field recorder such as the P2 Gear or P2 Mobile) to take direct control of an external hard disk. Using Host Mode, you can plug a hard disk directly into your camcorder (or field recorder) and format the hard disk and copy the contents of your P2 cards directly onto the hard disk, all without using a computer.
The AG-HVX200 and AG-HPX500 P2HD camcorder support 1394 Host Mode, and the AJ-HPX3000, AJ-HPX2000, AH-HPG10 P2 Gear and AJ-HPM100 P2 Mobile support USB Host Mode. In 1394 Host Mode, you need to connect to a 1394 ("firewire") hard disk, and you can then copy up to 15 cards onto the hard disk. 1394 Host Mode does not supply bus power, so you'll need a self-powered hard disk.
USB Host Mode provides even more capability. With USB Host Mode, the P2 HD camcorders (HPX2000 or HPX3000) or field recorder can supply bus power to power the hard disk. You can copy up to 23 cards onto the hard drive, assign individual names, partition the drive and review thumbnails.
Does P2 HD support proxies?
Yes, the P2 HD system supports the creation and management of proxy files in three bit rates -- 192Kbps, 768Kbps or 1.5Mbps. Proxy information is low-resolution A/V and time code that is recorded via the optional AJ-YAX800 MPEG4 encoder simultaneously with the high-resolution (DVCPROHD /50/25) that is being recorded to the same P2 card. Proxy video can be recorded to both the P2 card, as well as a separate SD memory card, which allows for quick movement of low-resolution files through internal and web-based networks for quick logging and viewing of dailies or footage before it arrives at the local station. Not all P2 HD camcorders can create or play proxy files; only cameras that can accept the optional AJ-YAX800G proxy card can create or play back proxy files. This includes all AJ-series P2HD camcorders, but doesn't include the AG-HVX200 or AG-HPX500.
What type of metadata files does P2 HD support? Can I customize this metadata for my application?
All P2 camcorders record video with some standard metadata fields, including individual camera type, camera serial number and unique user clip ID. In addition, P2 supports 30 user-definable metadata files, including shooter, reporter, location, scene, text memo and GPS coordinates.
The metadata can be uploaded to the camera after first being composed on the computer. This is done using the free P2 Viewer and P2CMS applications, as well as by the TEP-HD and P2 Log family of products from Imagine Software. The metadata is then saved onto an SD card and inserted into the camera where it can be uploaded into the camera using the metadata upload function under the Thumbnail menu. All P2 cameras allow for incrementing the User Clip Name if you have the camera under the Metadata Type 2 operation. This is also in the Metadata menu in the Thumbnail mode.
What is chromatic aberration compensation (CAC) and what does it do?
Chromatic aberration correction (CAC) can correct chromatic aberrations (color fringing) introduced by the lens optics. Chromatic aberrations are caused when the red, green and blue images do not match up exactly at all points in the image. A camera/lens pair, capable of CAC operation can introduce appropriate offsets to better match red, green and blue images, thus reducing or eliminating any color fringing. Chromatic aberrations are normally only observed at the extreme positions of focus and zoom, with the iris wide open.
CAC will only work when both the camera and lens support the feature. The camera needs to have an offset look-up table stored in memory, and the lens and camera must be able to communicate for CAC to operate properly. Select P2 HD camcorder, including the AG-HPX300, AG-HPX370, AG-HPX500, AJ-HPX3000, VariCam 2700 and VariCam 3700 support CAC, using compatible Canon and Fujinon EFP-style zoom lenses.
As more affordable HD lenses have been designed, CAC has been helpful in reducing chromatic aberrations, which tends to be the most objectionable potential flaw in more affordable lens designs. With CAC, the performance of lower cost lenses approaches that of the top-of-the-line models in terms of color fringing. With the unprecedented resolution of the AJ-HPX3000 and the VariCam 3700, chromatic aberrations can be observed that would not have been visible in earlier cameras (particularly after recording). CAC has shown an effective improvement to the performance of some of the best quality HD zoom lenses on the market. A full list of available CAC lenses can be viewed here.
Do all lenses support CAC?
No, CAC has to be specifically added to each particular lens. Canon and Fujinon each provide a family of CAC lenses, and you can expect that the number of lenses offered in CAC versions will grow.
A list of available CAC lenses can be viewed here.
Where do I go to get the update firmware or software drivers for my P2/P2 HD product?
Panasonic USA has a user-friendly "front end" website for finding the newest and most up-to-date driver software at _URL_
Working in Native Mode
What is 24pn mode?
24PN mode is a special space-saving recording mode designed specifically for use with P2 cards. There is absolutely no loss in quality when using 24PN mode; it's the exact same information, just stored in a more space-efficient way.
Normally, DVCPRO HD 720P is stored at 60 frames per second, and 24P footage is "embedded" in a 60P data stream using 2:3 pull-down. This is a time-tested technique for enabling a "film look" within a normal broadcast

Troubleshooting Hive replication using REPL
You need to know how to recover from the FAILED_ADMIN state that stops the replication process.
Problem: A non-recoverable error appears for a replication job and the status says FAILED_ADMIN. How do you recover a schedule from the FAILED_ADMIN state?
Solution: Perform the following steps to recover a replication schedule from this state:
- Navigate to the error log path.
- Search for the file _non_recoverable.
- Open the file, and look for information about an error that caused the replication failed.
- Fix the error.
- Delete the _non_recoverable file.
The_non_recoverable file from the last replication command execution must be deleted; otherwise your replication attempt will malfunction.
Problem: Notification events are missing in the metastore.
Solution: If notification events are not present in the metastore during replication, the replication might be in a FAILED_ADMIN status. When this occurs, notifications are deleted in the metastore. In this case, the workaround is to start a fresh bootstrap phase of replication, as follows:
- Drop the target database using beeline.
- Remove the dump directory on HDFS for the required policy. The path of _non_recoverable
error file path has the dump directory path.
The replication continues where it stopped.

A novel methodology utilizing the direct data domain approach to space-time adaptive processing (STAP) in airborne radar environments is presented in this paper. The deterministic least squares adaptive signal processing technique operates on a snapshot-by-snapshot basis to determine the adaptive weights for ing interferences and estimating signal of interest (SOI), and eliminates the requirement for the secondary data from neighboring range cell. This is in contrast to conventional adaptive techniques where processing is done by taking the time averages as opposed to spatial averages. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of interference suppression in nonhomogeneous environment.

Partnership for Drug-Free Kids Launches Vaping Resource for Parents
The Partnership launched a new Vaping Guide, a resource to help parents talk with their kids about the risks of vaping.
NEW YORK, NY – September 15, 2011 – the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids today announced Renew Media, LCC as one of its first strategic partners to help further the organization's new cause campaign, You Are Not Alone. This campaign calls on all those affected by substance abuse to come forward and help families whose teens and young adults are struggling with addiction. Renew Media, LLC has joined with the national nonprofit to share content and help promote the group's online tools and resources across various Renew communication channels, including Renew magazine and RenewEveryDay.com.
You Are Not Alone invites those who have been affected by addiction to submit their video stories on the campaign's YouTube channel. Each unique submission serves as a message to support the families of the 11 million teens or young adults who need addiction treatment. Working together, amassing the stories and voices of millions – those who know what families are going through, how much is at stake and how much may be reclaimed if we get our teens and young adults the help they need – You Are Not Alone will open a new dialogue around addiction and help lower the barriers that stand in the way of finding effective treatment and recovery.
Eighty five million Americans have been impacted by addiction, a disease that begins in adolescence. In fact, 90 percent of adults with drug or alcohol problems started using before the age of 18.
"We are excited to be working with Renew Media, a smart and influential voice dedicated to supporting the recovery community," says Steve Pasierb, President of the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids. "You Are Not Alone encourages public storytelling – stories of lives changed, of isolation, of heartbreak, and ultimately, of hope and healing – and puts a human face to this treatable disease while helping reduce public misunderstanding about addiction and recovery. Renew's commitment to You Are Not Alone is a true honor and will be critical in building a groundswell of support around this cause. Millions of voices need to be heard."
According to Renew founder and publisher, James Moorhead, "There are an estimated 23 million Americans suffering from addiction and two-thirds of Americans have a friend or family member that is dealing with drug or alcohol abuse. We at Renew believe that by covering important issues faced by those struggling with addiction, we can also lessen the stigma associated with the disease and convey the positive aspects of recovery. We are delighted to work with the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids to send the message to those suffering with substance abuse issues and the millions of loved ones touched by addiction that recovery is not only sustainable, but that it's also a wonderful place to be."

Could you help us to review the character of the Parish?
The historic environment makes an important contribution to the character of the Parish as a distinctive, interesting and special place. The buildings, spaces, associations and history that combine to create places mean different things to different people. Using the Character Assessment toolkit should help you to analyse the character of areas, spaces and buildings in a structured way. This should help to identify, define and understand the significance and value of different features of the environment that contribute to its character and distinctiveness.
While there is an accepted need for some change to occur within the Parish, proposals for change should be measured against their existing significance to ensure that their present values are not eroded. This should help to ensure that change enhances and sustains the value of the historic and rural environment of the Parish for ourselves and future generations. The evidence and understanding provided by the process will enable management of change in an effective and positive manner.

Part 5—Explore in ICE the Relationship of AOT and CO
Step 1 – Load Two Datasets into NEO/ICE
We will use the Image Composite Explorer (ICE) of NEO to compare the Aerosol Optical Thickness Data to the Carbon Monoxide Data. It requires Java to run on your computer.
Select datasets for use with this tool from the Atmosphere tab where we downloaded datasets for Parts 2 - 4. A maximum of three datasets may be analyzed in the ICE tool at one time. We will choose to look at a specific date in time, September 2005, for the two datasets AOT and CO.
- Go to the NASA Earth Observations (NEO) homepage.
- Find the September 2005 Aerosol Optical Thickness data in the NEO by using Next at the bottom of the page. Select it for analysis by clicking (+) to expand it and then by choosing Analyze this image.
- Find the Carbon Monoxide (MOPITT) dataset in NEO and select it for analysis.
- Choose September 2005, as you did for AOT dataset. Use (+) to expand the options and then click Analyze this image. There should now be two datasets on the right-hand section of the screen. Then click on configure/launch analysis.
Step 2 – Launch and Configure for ICE by Choosing an Area of High CO and AOT Values
- When the analysis configuration launches a new page, it will display your selected dataset(s) on the left side of this window. Datasets can be added or removed.
- Some actions you can take on this page are to select a subset of the image (Select Area), choose an analysis mode, adjust the file size, or download the dataset and the analysis tool for offline analysis.
- On this new page, click on the Select Area tab to choose a subset of the world which will decrease the image's file size for purposes of the ICE tool. This is very helpful if your Internet connection is slower. Using the cursor on the map, you can click and drag a box around your area of interest or you can type in the latitude and longitude limits.
- Drag a box around the South American area of high CO, which also seems to have high Aerosol Optical Thickness values. Be sure to click the Select button in the Select Area frame. This will cause the tool to load only the data for your area of interest, such as South America, instead of the worldwide dataset.
- Click on Launch Analysis.
Step 3 – Use Basic ICE Tools to Explore the Data
In ICE, explore the selected Aerosol Optical Thickness dataset using the Zoom and Pan, Probe, Plot Transect, Distance, Select and Outline Region tools.
- Select Probe and then move the cursor over the image to see what the optical depth values for each of the selected (at most 3) ICE datasets are for the pixel and the location of that pixel. Note that "no data" pixels are represented by "---". No data can occur because of continuous coverage by clouds of that area or the inability of the algorithm to compute a data value with the information available. Select the Probe again to turn the data value display off.
- To use the zoom and pan feature, click Zoom & Roam and then click in the image to zoom in. Continue to click within the image to zoom in further. You can right click (or command-click on the Mac) to zoom out.
- The Plot transect tool is used to graph the data for a select line. Select Plot transect and hold down the mouse and drag a line across an area of interest, releasing the mouse button at the line's end.
- To measure the distance on the image for the length of the line, select Distance and hold down the mouse and drag across the image. The measurement is in units of kilometers.
- To outline (trace) a non-rectangular area in the image, select Outline region.. Do this by holding down the mouse as you move the cursor around the desired area. As with Select region, the area inside the outline and the average optical thickness are displayed on the map.
Next, select Select region. Notice the display of the average optical depth value for a selected area.
Once you have made a selection of an area you wish to further analyze, you can use the Histogram feature which will plot values versus their frequency.
Step 4 – Compare Histograms and Scatter Plots
- Launch Analysis from the configuration page. A new page will display with your images at the top. The analysis tools are along the right as buttons and check boxes.
- When you click on the Probe button and move your cursor across the image, the values of both datasets and a location are displayed.
- You can display either image, AOT or CO. Click on the thumbnail to switch between them.
- Next, choose Select region and trace the area of highest AOT (or CO) values.
- Click back and forth between the two images to see how well the outline fits high values in both datasets.
- Choose the Select region or Outline region tool.
- Select Histogram. The plot (y values) are the number of pixel values which fall in a range of limits on the two color-coded x axes labeled for each dataset.
- Choose the Scatter button which plots the AOT on one axis and the CO on the other axis.
Step 5 - Reflect on the Data RelationshipsHere are some things to notice about the scatter and histogram plots of this area for September 2005.
- The values in the scatter plot seem to cluster in the upper right quadrant, which means that when one of these parameters is high, so is the other. They vary directly. If you select a region that has a range of color, you can see at a glance on the scatter plot the range of values for each dataset quickly.
- The histogram shows that the two datasets AOT and CO generally agree that the highest number of pixels within the outline drawn on the image have the highest values of aerosol particulates and highest carbon monoxide (in ppb).
- Since you looked at the animation stack files for AOT and CO, you should compare some monthly data on fires globally to them. Here is a MODIS Fire Data stack (TIFF 8.9MB Jun30 10) for 2008 you can animate in ImageJ. This stack is called fire2008.tif. Load it into ImageJ and combine with each of the stacks to notice any patterns.
Where and When are the Fires Happening?There are several possibilities to explain the occurrence, location and severity of the fires:
- land being cleared for agriculture
- natural weather patterns that bring electrical storms that start fires in remote forests where it is hard to reach with fire crews
- strong winds that come seasonally and spread fires quickly


Car interior lights won't turn off. Causes and solutions
The dome lights in your vehicle are controlled using multiple switches that your car has. Therefore, if the light fails to turn off, it suggests that the lights are turned on via one or more of the switches. But there are other possible reasons, and it all depends on the car's make and model.
Modern vehicles have automatic interior lights, which are more sophisticated than those in older cars, but also are more prone to different failures.
The possible causes of the interior lights not turning off are the headlight switch being at the furthest counter-clockwise position, activating the dashboard light control knob accidentally, and broken door switches. The problem usually occurs, especially if the driver, another person, or children use the switches and probably mess with them.
Types of car interior lights
The car's interior lights are divided into different categories, such as dome lights, dashboard lights, map lights, and more. These lights can fail at once or at different times, and besides being annoying, they will present a safety issue. But in our case, the car interior lights are failing to turn off.
Common issues with car interior light not turning off.
If the car's interior lights don't go off after you close the vehicle doors, then they can be caused by:
 1. The front hood is not properly latched;
 2. Adjusting the dimmer switch to the furthest position;
 3. Failing to close the doors fully;
 4. Faulty door ajar switch on the car's doors;
 5. When the button for turning off the interior is damaged or missing.
How do you fix the dome light that stays on?
To fix the problems, you need to adjust the dome light switch. All cars have this switch, and for most, it's on the dashboard. If you adjust the switch to the highest setting, the dome light will remain on.
Adjust this switch to its lowest setting to turn off the dome light. But if the dashboard light does not change even with the adjustment, then the switch is faulty.
Alternatively, you can open the doors and check their switches. If there is an open switch, press it manually to see whether the dome light will go off. But if the switches do not click at all or simply nothing is happening, then they are faulty.
You can try to start the car and leave it running for 7 minutes. Now, remove the key after turning off the car and shut the doors one by one. The dome lights should turn off after you close all the doors.
Frequently asked questions
Will the interior lights deplete the battery when on?
Yes, leaving the car's interior lights for a long time will make the battery get drained. But you can easily bring the battery back to life with a simple jumpstart.
Do car interior lights turn off automatically?
Yes, vehicles' interior lights are automatic and will turn off whether you have activated auto headlight mode or not.
What should I do if the interior lights won't turn off?
If your automatic lights do not turn off, try our suggested solutions above. Alternatively, you can disconnect the battery and remove the dome box fuse. It's usually located under the dashboard, near the glove box, or at times, in the car's engine compartment. Remove the dome lights relay, and this will disconnect the dome lights.
How much does it cost to fix car cabin lights that won't turn off?
Interior lighting is one of the essential car features, and it makes the vehicle safer for passengers. But if the lights won't turn off, it presents security issues to the car and drains your battery. The cost will vary based on location and car model but expect to spend $50-$100 at a specialized workshop.
Conclusion
If your car dome lights fail to turn off, then it's likely one of the issues above. Most times, the problem occurs when another person uses the interior lights and leaves the buttons in the state you don't usually leave them in, or there is a fault that needs a proper check.
Based on the car model and electric configuration, you will have to try different button combinations to solve your issue. The dimmer is the button for our case, and when you rotate it in different positions, you will find a way to turn off the light.

How to help support sales at natural retail
How to help support sales at natural retail
The great equalizer between smaller and more sophisticated CPG companies, true category management can differentiate any brand in today's highly competitive environment. Category managers can and should support sales within their retailer partners, and there are some different approaches to consider in doing so, some of which may prove more effective than others.
Retail sales support
Most natural companies rely on relationship selling. This can be extremely effective if you have good rapport with your buyers. Decisions are based primarily on emotion and gut as opposed to facts. This can also create an opportunity for sales people armed with solutions to help retailers compete more effectively. The challenge, then, comes from dealing with new buyers, strong competitive threats from more sophisticated brands and mainstream retailers who expect more support from their brands. The old way of selling is not as effective as it once was.
Another hurdle is that most companies tend to focus their message on what's important to them—their product's value from their perspective. Unfortunately, few take the time to educate their retail customers and help build the message around their needs: satisfying customers while making a profit. Retailers want support and guidance from their manufacturer partners.
Just the facts
Fact-based selling also relies on relationships but is bolstered by solid facts, such as additional information that supports the benefit to the consumer as well as to the retailer—the heart of any category management based strategy. This can include the brand's commitment and plan to support the retailer, the market, the category, consumer insights, the potential sales for the item, schematic recommendations, etc.
Fact-based selling with category management answers the questions:
 - How does the product meet consumer needs?
 - How can the product drive foot traffic to the retailer?
 - How can the product give the retailer a competitive advantage in their market?
In answering these questions, always keep in mind the five Ps of selling: product, placement, people, pricing and promotion.
Armed with this information, your sales team will be empowered to help retailers grow in the respective categories.
What strategies differentiate your sales team from the competition?

Starting an Emacs Daemon Automatically and Transparently using ZSH
If GNU Emacs is one of your editors of choice, then you may want to consider running Emacs as a server. Using an Emacs server is very convenient, especially if you open many Emacs processes (as it happens when the EDITOR variable is set to emacs in your shell). The reasons why you would use an Emacs server are manifold, and the most important are:
 - Using an Emacs server results in a great increase in speed and responsiveness of Emacs.
 - The fact that sharing the same Emacs process implies sharing buffers, command history, and many other information.
Starting an Emacs Server
An Emacs server can be started in two ways:
 - Running Emacs as a daemon, using the --daemon option:
$ emacs --daemon
 - By launching it from inside an Emacs process using the server-start function:
M-x server-start
Once an Emacs server is running, you can use the emacsclient program to tell a running Emacs server to visit a file. The server and the client are quite sophisticated, and you can use them for example to connect a client to a server running on a remote machine. Most of the time, however, you'll be running the daemon and the client on the same host.
A question I get often is: how to start the server if it's not running and then connect to it? I've seen a lot of solutions to this problem, and probably one of the commonest is starting an Emacs server at login, and then using emacsclient to connect to it.
There's a fundamental thing I don't like about it: it's not transparent. However, since it's a very common approach, I'll quickly document how it's accomplished on macOS.
Starting an Emacs Daemon on macOS at Login
The canonical way to start a process when a user logs in on macOS is using launchd. launchd is the "system wide and per-user daemon/agent manager" and it "manages processes, both for the system as a whole and for individual users" (launchd(8) man page). The processes to be started at user login are called launch agents and are defined in plist files in the ~/Library/LaunchAgents directory.
The easiest way to start an Emacs server, then, is to launch emacs with the --daemon option. The corresponding launch agent file is the following:
Note: the emacs path and the UserName element must contain correct values for your system.
Once the launch agent descriptor has been created, it can be loaded using the following command:
# launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/gnu.emacs.daemon.plist
This solution is fine, but it has two major disadvantages: it requires a configuration, and the configuration is non-portable.
Starting an Emacs Daemon On-Demand and Transparently
A simpler and portable solution (provided you're using ZSH) is leveraging emacsclient's ability to start a daemon if none is found in a ZSH function. Instead of having to explicitly use emacsclient after a server has been started, wouldn't it be nice to always use the same command, start a server if none is running, and connect to it transparently? Assuming we can do that, why not just calling this command emacs?
Fortunately, this is very easy to accomplish with emacsclient and ZSH:
 - emacsclient is able to start an Emacs daemon if none is running using the -a option with an empty argument.
 - emacsclient can be invoked without a file name when the -c option is used, in which case a new frame showing the *scratch* buffer is created, mimicking emacs behaviour.
 - ZSH lets us easily create "aliases on steroids" using a function such as the following:
Now, every time you invoke emacs in ZSH, the shell will run the emacs() function instead, which will run emacsclient -c -a= and will forward all its arguments to it.
When using an Emacs daemon there are some things to take into account. And that's what the official documentation is for. I will only say that since you are now sharing a single Emacs process, its frames and its buffers, you may now want to use C-x # when done with a buffer (or C-x C-k). This way you will kill the buffer and it won't be left hanging around.

Phase 1 Alerts (yellow)
Phase 1 alerts are triggered only after the sensor detects a significant decline in air quality within the microclimate around the sensor.
A decline in Air Quality is indicated by an increase in the IAQ value. This decline triggers a Phase 1 fire detection process and is done anonymously without notifying users. It involves the following four steps:
Sensor checks the air quality every 60 seconds.
If air quality remains unchanged, send data packets containing air measurements every 2 hours.
If the air quality deteriorates over a set timeframe, trigger a Phase 1 alert.
The sensitivity of the Phase 1 algorithm (threshold and sliding time window) can be configured remotely by Dryad's support team. In the future, Dryad is planning to enable self-configuration by customers using the Site Management app as well as an adaptive algorithm aiming to reduce the number of Yellow warnings over time.
Sensor checks air quality every 60 seconds
Once every 60 seconds, the sensor uses an algorithm to check the Air Quality in the microclimate within range of a sensor.
Data packets sent to Silvanet Cloud every two hours
As long as the sensor detects Normal Air which means the baseline IAQ determined during calibration remains stable, it sends data packets to the Silvanet Cloud every two hours.
These data packets contain the current air pressure, temperature and humidity in the environment within range of the sensor. This data appears in the Site Management app.
Deterioration in air quality triggers Phase 1 alert
If the Air Quality has significantly deteriorated (IAQ change > 50) within a short period of time (using a sliding window of 5 minutes), then the gas sensor issues a Phase 1 alert. This alert is sent to the Silvanet Cloud. Clients do not receive this alert but is used internally to determine why the sensor reacted.
A Phase 1 alert triggers the Phase 2 detection process to determine if the sensor has detected a fire.

calc_AliquotSize
0th
Percentile
Estimate the amount of grains on an aliquot
Estimate the number of grains on an aliquot. Alternatively, the packing density of an aliquot is computed.
Usage
calc_AliquotSize(grain.size, sample.diameter, packing.density = 0.65,
 MC = TRUE, grains.counted, plot = TRUE, ...)
Arguments
grain.size
numeric (required): mean grain size (microns) or a range of grain sizes from which the mean grain size is computed (e.g. c(100,200)).
sample.diameter
numeric (required): diameter (mm) of the targeted area on the sample carrier.
packing.density
numeric (with default): empirical value for mean packing density. If packing.density = "Inf" a hexagonal structure on an infinite plane with a packing density of \(0.906\ldots\) is assumed.
MC
logical (optional): if TRUE the function performs a monte carlo simulation for estimating the amount of grains on the sample carrier and assumes random errors in grain size distribution and packing density. Requires a vector with min and max grain size for grain.size. For more information see details.
grains.counted
numeric (optional): grains counted on a sample carrier. If a non-zero positive integer is provided this function will calculate the packing density of the aliquot. If more than one value is provided the mean packing density and its standard deviation is calculated. Note that this overrides packing.density.
plot
logical (with default): plot output (TRUE/FALSE)
...
further arguments to pass (main, xlab, MC.iter).
Details
This function can be used to either estimate the number of grains on an aliquot or to compute the packing density depending on the the arguments provided.
The following function is used to estimate the number of grains n:
$$n = (\pi*x^2)/(\pi*y^2)*d$$
where x is the radius of the aliquot size (microns), y is the mean radius of the mineral grains (mm) and d is the packing density (value between 0 and 1).
Packing density
The default value for packing.density is 0.65, which is the mean of empirical values determined by Heer et al. (2012) and unpublished data from the Cologne luminescence laboratory. If packing.density = "Inf" a maximum density of \(\pi/\sqrt12 = 0.9068\ldots\) is used. However, note that this value is not appropriate as the standard preparation procedure of aliquots resembles a PECC ("Packing Equal Circles in a Circle") problem where the maximum packing density is asymptotic to about 0.87.
Monte Carlo simulation
The number of grains on an aliquot can be estimated by Monte Carlo simulation when setting MC = TRUE. Each of the parameters necessary to calculate n (x, y, d) are assumed to be normally distributed with means \(\mu_x, \mu_y, \mu_d\) and standard deviations \(\sigma_x, \sigma_y, \sigma_d\).
For the mean grain size random samples are taken first from \(N(\mu_y, \sigma_y)\), where \(\mu_y = mean.grain.size\) and \(\sigma_y = (max.grain.size-min.grain.size)/4\) so that 95% of all grains are within the provided the grain size range. This effectively takes into account that after sieving the sample there is still a small chance of having grains smaller or larger than the used mesh sizes. For each random sample the mean grain size is calculated, from which random subsamples are drawn for the Monte Carlo simulation.
The packing density is assumed to be normally distributed with an empirically determined \(\mu = 0.65\) (or provided value) and \(\sigma = 0.18\). The normal distribution is truncated at d = 0.87 as this is approximately the maximum packing density that can be achieved in PECC problem.
The sample diameter has \(\mu = sample.diameter\) and \(\sigma = 0.2\) to take into account variations in sample disc preparation (i.e. applying silicon spray to the disc). A lower truncation point at x = 0.5 is used, which assumes that aliqouts with smaller sample diameters of 0.5 mm are discarded. Likewise, the normal distribution is truncated at 9.8 mm, which is the diameter of the sample disc.
For each random sample drawn from the normal distributions the amount of grains on the aliquot is calculated. By default, 10^5 iterations are used, but can be reduced/increased with MC.iter (see ...). The results are visualised in a bar- and boxplot together with a statistical summary.
Value
Returns a terminal output. In addition an '>RLum.Results object is returned containing the following element:
.$summary
data.frame summary of all relevant calculation results.
.$args
list used arguments
.$call
call the function call
.$MC

This rare example of a medieval yoroi is characterized by a cuirass that wraps around the body and is closed by a separate panel (waidate) on the right side and by a deep four-sided skirt. In use from around the tenth to the fourteenth century, yoroi were generally worn by warriors on horseback.
This armor was originally laced in white silk and had diagonal bands of multicolored lacings at the edges of the skirt and the now-missing sode (shoulder guards). The colored lacings symbolized the rainbow, which represented both good fortune and fleeting beauty. The breastplate is covered with stenciled leather bearing the image of the powerful Buddhist deity Fudo Myo-o, whose fierce mien and attributes of calmness and inner strength were highly prized by samurai. The helmet, long associated with this armor, dates from the mid-fourteenth century.
This yoroi" is traditionally believed to have been donated to the Shinomura Hachimangu, a shrine near Kyoto, by Ashikaga Takauji (1305–1358), founder of the Ashikaga shogunate.

Divorce and Social Media: Why You Should Stop Posting and Logout
Social Media Icons
For the majority of people, social media has become a daily part of our lives. Keeping in touch with friends, posting pictures of your children, and watching the latest trending video has never been easier, but did you ever stop and think about how social media can play a role in your divorce?
It's very easy to gather information about people from their social media profiles, especially when people habitually overshare. There's a time and place for particular posts, but when you are going through a contentious divorce, there are a few tips to keep in mind before sharing your life on Facebook.
1) Check Your Privacy Settings
If you fear your spouse is snooping around your social media profiles, it's time to disconnect, unfriend, or block them. This might seem harsh, but it's an easy way to minimize the potential threat of causing additional drama and arguments online.
2) Don't Badmouth Your Spouse
No matter how frustrated and upset you become, do not use social media as an emotional outlet. Opposing counsel can print your posts and use it as evidence during your divorce. Don't rely solely on privacy settings because anything you post online can often be found.
3) When in Doubt, Don't Post
Before posting anything, take a step back and ask yourself, "Could someone misinterpret this? Could opposing counsel use this against me?" If the answer is yes, do not post! Sharing funny pictures and videos can seem harmless, but they might be misconstrued.
4) Suspend Your Online Presence
Using social media has become second nature to us, so the thought of logging out for an extended period of time feels unnatural. The bottom line: the best way to protect yourself from any social media content being used against you during the divorce is to suspend your online presence—don't delete your accounts, but take a break from social media.


text: We have proposed a method of simultaneously measuring aerodynamic sound and fluid ow using parallel phaseshifting interferometry (PPSI). PPSI can observe phase of light instantaneously and quantitatively. This method is useful for understanding the aerodynamic sound because PPSI can measure near the source of the aerodynamic sound. However, the components of sound and ow should be separated in order to observe detail near the source of sound inside a region of ow. Therefore, we consider a separation of the component of sound from simultaneously visualized images of sound and ow. In previous research, a spatio-temporal filter was used to extract a component satisfying the wave equation. The ow and the sound are different physical phenomena, and the ow cannot be expressed by the wave equation. Hence, we think that the spatio-temporal filter enables us to separate the component of sound from the simultaneously visualized images. In this paper, we propose a method for separation of ow and sound using spatio-temporal filter in order to visualize the component of the aerodynamic sound near its source. We conducted an experiment of the separation of data measured by PPSI. The results show that the spatio-temporal filter can extract the sound from air-ow except for the sound near objects and boundaries.

Death of a Salesman: From Page to Stage
AbstractConsidering the original dramatic text Death of a Salesman, the objective of the present research is to study and analyze different modes of adaptation carried out advancing from Persian page translations toward its considered stage performance. Using Ladoucer's (1995) model for the translation of drama texts, the Persian (audiovisual) stage performance and the two published Persian page translations involved, were analyzed so that the cases of alteration were identified and compared with/to one another. The results of the study revealed that in the case of page translation, alterations were carried out mostly due to linguistic and cultural mismatches and for the sake of the target readership. On the other hand, in the theatrical system, the alterations could be observed at a higher level in the form of freer adaptations, where not only the linguistic and cultural mismatches, but also the style and creativity of the theatre members, especially those of the director are involved. Thus, in the context of the theatrical production, different modes of adaptation are carried out when the authority of the theatre producer along with the value, taste, and interest of the theatre goers are to be taken into account.

Colombian handicraft (Spanish: artesanía colombiana) history can be traced back to the stone age to the lithic instruments in El Abra stadial. Some of the first pottery samples known in Colombia were found in the Neolithic 3 — Pottery Neolithic (PN) Zipacón settlements. The earliest examples of goldwork have been attributed to the Tumaco people of the Pacific coast and date to around 325 BCE. Gold would play a pivotal role in luring the Spanish to the area now called Colombia during the 16th century (See: El Dorado).
Colombian arts and crafts can be categorised into two major divisions:
Ruana garments and pottery ornaments in Ráquira
patina products, puzzle toys, macramé (knot crafts), fique products, leather products, modern silver jewellery gift ware, decorative items, dolls & puppets, bead Crafts, bone & horn pharoducts, natural buttons etc. are some of the modern forms of Colombian handicrafts.

Phosphoric acid in gel form is known as naval jelly, and the product has a variety of applications. Always use caution when working with naval jelly, as it is highly corrosive and caustic; use only in a well-ventilated area.
Other People Are Reading
Naval jelly is most commonly used to remove rust from iron or steel objects. Even very old, thick rust deposits can be removed with sanding or scraping, according to product websites. Naval jelly works simply by a generous application to the rust stain followed by a water rinse; if any rust remains, the procedure can be repeated, or light-gauge steel wool can be used.
Not only can naval jelly remove rust from iron and steel, but the gel can prevent the rust from forming. A thin amount should be spread over the surface of the at-risk steel or iron object and then rinsed. This process is most effective if repeated routinely.
Naval jelly can also be used to thoroughly clean iron or steel before applying paint as well as a paint preparation treatment for galvanised surfaces. The naval jelly should be applied with a paint brush or roller and left to treat the surface for up to 20 minutes. This completely cleans the surface of any rust. Since naval jelly is corrosive, if it is left on for a day or longer before it is removed, it will slightly etch the surface, creating a rougher texture that will more easily accept paint.

Honey & Cornbread Cookies: Behind the Partnership!
Honey & Cornbread Cookies: Behind the Partnership!
We sat down with Anne Cole, our neighbor here in Santa Barbara, and collaborator on our new Honey & Cornbread Cookies flavor, to learn more about the business of bees. We chat about her family-owned honey company, San Marcos Farms, and learn why bees like it here on the central California coast about as much as we do.
1. Can you tell us a bit about your business? History? Why...?
San Marcos Farms has been a family-owned-and-operated beekeeping business since the mid-1980s. Our mission is to produce the highest quality honey, bee pollen and beeswax available. We are based both in Santa Barbara and Buellton, California. Our "honey house" is near the Santa Barbara Airport. At this location, we bring in the honeycombs from the field for extracting, and also bottle the honey, clean and package the bee pollen, and make beeswax candles.
Our bees are located on farms and ranches in the Goleta foothills and near the Santa Ynez wine country and Figueroa Mountain. In Goleta, the bees are used for crop pollination, such as avocados and citrus trees. They are also beneficial for organic row farming, pollinating numerous crops such as strawberries, squashes, melons, beans and peas and many others.
The locations in Santa Ynez are mostly away from agriculture and the bees are foraging in the native plant communities of the mountainous regions. The purpose here is honey production, and on a good rainfall year, this is where we place most of the bees from April to July.
2. Honey. Why?
While many commercial beekeepers focus on pollination, our focus has always been on varietal honey production. Every species of flowering plant that attracts bees and other pollinators produces a unique nectar. The flavor and color of the honey are attributed to that of the original nectar. For example, avocado honey has a dark amber color with a reddish hue and a molasses-like flavor, while orange honey has a light amber color, which varies from light yellow to orange in color, and the flavor is that of the fragrant orange blossoms.
The local wildflower honey will vary with the season, depending on what is blooming at the time, with eucalyptus and pittosporum being prominent in early spring, followed by the native toyon and sumacs in early summer. The local wildflower honey is popular for its delicious caramel flavor as well as its allergy-relieving benefits. The sage honey from the mountains is very light and is prized for its delicate flavor and versatility in use.
3. Is there something special to you about The Central Coast? In terms of honey, but in terms of food as a whole...?
The Central Coast has a unique sub-tropical Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild winter temperatures, which allows for the production of crops year-round. Additionally, the plant communities are extremely diverse, including plants of the native chaparral such as manzanita, ceanothus, and salvias, as well as ornamental flowering shrubs and trees introduced from all over the world. All of this variety of flowering vegetation is favorable for honeybees which enjoy year-round foraging, especially near the coast, where temperatures are mildest.*
*The Central Coast of California hosts many of the country's beehives as winter sets in throughout the Midwest. Migratory beekeepers move hives in by the truckloads in late fall, as the lucrative almond pollination season in the Central Valley approaches.
4. What about this partnership, if anything, makes it special?
We enjoy partnering with other businesses that use our honey in their products. McConnell's has been around now for several generations and we are very honored that you have created a flavor based on our wildflower honey.
5. You've tasted the ice cream. Any thoughts...?
I love the honey flavor in the ice cream, and a cornbread cookie combination is perfect since everyone knows that honey pairs well with cornbread!
