On the 15th of July, VCE physics students from Leongatha and Korumburra secondary college visited La Trobe University's Department of Engineering to undertake experiments related to the transmission of power. The experiments were conducted by La Trobe University Lecturer Andrew Martchenko. Each group of students were given a board of a scaled down power station with transformers stepping-up the voltage and then stepping-down the voltage over transmission lines before reaching the street lights. Students were required to measure voltages and calculate power losses. Students had to examine the power losses in four experimental setups, two with bypassing the transformers and two with using the transformers. This allowed students to compare results and draw conclusions on the importance of high voltage transmission.
A student from Leongatha SC stated "We live in the La Trobe Valley which generates most of the power for Victoria. I now have a better understanding of how the power is generated and transmitted from a power station to a house. We studied the theory back at school several weeks ago. Being able to conduct hands on experiments such as this one is very important in fully comprehending the material taught."
La Trobe University Lecturer Andrew Martchenko provided the students with problems related to the transmission of power, relating them to real life scenarios which Engineers face in the Electrical industry. "It is important for students to understand how mathematics and physics are applied to solve simple problems which have a great impact on modern society. In Australia, we take much of this for granted because we have world class engineers operating world class facilities. As an end user we rarely question why a blackout has occurred, we simply wait a short period of time, the power comes back and we move on with our lives. The engineer is tasked with resolving such problems but more importantly in preventing them in the near future."
Andrew utilised examples of power grid overloading during summer when most Australians utilise air-conditioning and how this can lead to power outages. Examples were also provided about the illegal taping of power from the grid, predominantly in countries were regulation is difficult due high density populations.
The excursion to La Trobe University concluded with an interactive presentation on engineering careers and a demonstration of student projects. The Department of Engineering also donated a cathode ray oscilloscope to each school which will enable students to take electronic measurements during their studies.
The Department of Engineering at La Trobe University is a leader amongst Victorian Universities in providing high value practical experiments related to Electronics/Electrical, Applications of Physics, Photonics in Communications and much more.

This paper considers the potential of multiway partitioning in Quickselect.
Unlike for sorting, producing many segments is not necessarily helpful in selecting order statistics, but with small samples, using two pivots reduces the amount of memory transfers.
We analyze two scenarios (that require different analytical tools):
- The sought rank is random.
- The sought rank is $\alpha n$ for a fixed $\alpha\in(0,1)$.
In the first scenario, the distributional master theorem developed in my dissertation can be used to obtain expected costs for a generic version of Quickselect.
For the linear ranks, we obtain a recurrence in $n$ and $\alpha$ that in general seems too hard to solve. An asymptotic approximation is possible by solving an integral equation. We give the first elementary proof that the solution of this equation is indeed an asymptotic solution of the bivariate recurrence.

The timestamps in file names are used by the auditreduce command to locate records within a specific time range. These timestamps are important because there can be a month's accumulation or more of audit files online. To search all the files for records that were generated in the last 24 hours would be unacceptably expensive.
The start-time and end-time are timestamps with one-second resolution. They are specified in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The format is four digits for the year, followed by two digits for each month, day, hour, minute, and second, as follows:
The timestamps are in GMT to ensure that they sort in proper order, even across time zones. Because they are in GMT, the date and hour must be translated to the current time zone to be meaningful. Beware of this point whenever you manipulate these files with standard file commands rather than with the auditreduce command.

Supporting parents in the Canary Islands
In the Canary Islands, we're helping parents of children aged between 6 and 13 to be good role models when it comes to drinking alcohol.
In 'Los Padres Tienen la Plabra' ('It's over to the Parents'), Petra Maria Pérez, Professor of Education at the University of Valencia, gives advice on how parents can talk to their children to discourage them from drinking alcohol.
The guide is distributed at educational centres and in collaboration with parents' federations, including the National Catholic Federation of Family Parents and the Spanish Confederation of Associations of Parents of Pupils, with support from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Our campaigns: Parental education
Drink drive awareness campaign in the Canary Islands
In the Canary Islands, we've been working with The Brewers of Spain to send drivers a strong message: if you're planning to drive, drink a non-alcoholic beverage. Or take public transport.
In 2004, the European Commission selected 'La Cerretera Te Pide Sin' ('The Road Demands You Are Alcohol Free') to be part of the European Road Safety Charter.
The programme is sponsored by the Department for Transport and is supported by the National Confederation of Driving Schools, the Spanish Association of Operators of Petroleum Products, the Royal Automobile Club of Spain, the European Automobile Commission and others.

- z) * F(x, y, z) + (z) * F(x, y, z - t) ) / (t)Now each function call takes twice as long to calculate, but since you're probably not going to use this cycling technique in real time, it probably doesn't matter.
Consider the graph of a noise function F(x, y, z) for some fixed x and y. The problem is, you want F(0) = F(t) and there is no guarantee that will be the case with any old x, y, and t. Actually, since any given x and y should have no influence on the repeating aspect of the animation, we can for all practical purposes throw them out while we're developing our repeating function, and consider the simplified case of a one-dimensional noise function F(z).
We need to take this function and change it into one where it is guaranteed that F(0) = F(t). Here's an expanded view of our noise function showing its behavior from -t to t:
Now we define a new function F'(z) that behaves like F(z) when z is near zero, but behaves like F(z - t) when z is near t. If you think about it, you see that F'(0) = F(0), and that F'(t) = F(t - t) = F(0). We can do this with a simple linear interpolation by considering a linear function which is equal to F(z) at 0, and equal to F(z - t) at t.
High school algebra tells us that this linear function has a slope of
(rise) / (run) = (F(z - t) - F(z)) / (t - 0) = (F(z - t) - F(z)) / tand an intercept of F(z). Now we set up F' as this linear interpolation operating on z:
F'(z) = slope(z) + interceptWhich is basically the same as the function given above. If you look at F' next to F, you can see that the function does indeed repeat in that F'(0) = F'(t). Also notice that the peaks just to the right of F'(0) are the same as the peaks just to the right of F'(0), and that the peaks just to the left of F'(t) are virtually identical to the peaks just to the left of F(0).
= ( (F(z - t) - F(z)) / t )(z) + F(z)
= ( ( (z) * F(z - t) - (z) * F(z) ) / t ) + F(z)
= ( ( (z) * F(z - t) - (z) * F(z) ) / t ) + (t / t) * F(z)
= ( (z) * F(z - t) - (z) * F(z) + (t) * F(z)) / (t)
= ( (z) * F(z - t) + (t-z) * F(z) ) / (t)
= ( (t-z) * F(z) + (z) * F(z - t) ) / (t)
If you had a little calculus and too much free time, you could prove that this looping (and the tiling in the next section) is truly seamless: not only does F(0) = F'(t), but all their derivatives should match up as well. Which means that no one should be able to tell where the repeat actually happens.
Ftileable(x, y) = (A pattern should be emerging here, so it shouldn't surprise you that you'll need evaluate a weighted sum of 8 calls to the noise function if you want to have a repeating animation that tiles in the x and y dimenstions. I'm not going to write it out here out of space considerations, and also because it should be evident what the sum will be.
F(x, y) * (w - x) * (h - y) +
F(x - w, y) * (x) * (h - y) +
F(x - w, y - h) * (x) * (y) +
F(x, y - h) * (w - x) * (y)
) / (wh)

@U4YGF4NGM How can I change the code below so that "e" is printed more than once on a button press?
(def a (r/atom 1))
(def b (ratom/reaction (js/console.log "b" @a) (inc @a)))
(def c (ratom/reaction (js/console.log "c" @a) (* @a 2)))
(def d (ratom/reaction (js/console.log "d" @c) (inc @c)))
(def e (ratom/reaction (js/console.log "e" @b @d) (+ @b @d)))
(defn app []
 [:div
 [:button {:on-click #(swap! a inc)}
 "inc a"]
 [:span "e: " @e]])
Geoffrey Gaillard10:12:32
If I'm not mistaken, Reagent propagates reactions using a requestAnimationFrame like loop, your example runs in a single RAF frame. Introducing some latency in step d will make it produce a new value on the next frame, triggering e a second time. At the end of the first frame, e will be in an inconsistent state, and will recompute and reconcile on the next frame. Instead, d should be scheduled for the next frame, and therefore e should be too, according to toposort. By latency I mean something synchronous, like blocking the UI thread.
p-himik10:12:33
If it's synchronous, e cannot possibly be recomputed before the delay is d is completed. And by that time, both of the values will be available. In the code above, when the view is re-rendered, e will deref d - it will trigger the delay, and the rendering process will simply wait till the delay is done. The values are not propagated through the reaction graph - only the dirty flag is. The values are then requested and are recomputed. To be absolutely sure, I replaced d with this:
(def d (ratom/reaction (js/console.log "start d" @c)
 (let [start (js/Date.now)]
 (loop [now start]
 (when (< (- now start) 1000)
 (recur (js/Date.now)))))
 (js/console.log "end d" @c)
 (inc @c)))
And it still works in the same exact way, only with a delay of a second, where the whole UI becomes blocked.
Geoffrey Gaillard10:12:01
More precisely, reagent does not have a notion of readiness. So it can't know if a reaction is ready to be recomputed. It just recomputes ASAP, and therefore produces inconsistent states and recomputes until all reactions settles.
Geoffrey Gaillard11:12:03
My example was incorrect, thank you for pointing it out. I'll come back with a running example, probably tomorrow.
Geoffrey Gaillard11:12:23
Ah! In your example, reactions are queued in the same order as they are declared, because the example is minimal. I need to craft an example where they are not queued in the same order as they appear in the AST.
p-himik11:12:27
> It just recomputes ASAP It does that only with reactions created with :auto-run true. Which is by default is not the case.
p-himik11:12:50
I'd really appreciate such an example. So far, three people have said that Reagent can fail and yet nobody has given any MRE for that.
Geoffrey Gaillard12:12:55
I'll produce one and back my claim up ;)
👍 1
lilactown16:12:11
@U2FRKM4TW that example has a glitch after the first change AFAICT
lilactown16:12:24
nvm can't read
😄 1
lilactown23:12:46
so I do remember reproducing some glitches in reagent but I think it was very edge case. for the most part, reagent is pretty good at avoiding glitches
lilactown00:12:45
reagent uses a breadth-first algorithm for recalculating a graph, but since it computes and caches reactions on-demand as well, you end up with a consistent state
lilactown00:12:56
(like p-himik said above)
Geoffrey Gaillard17:12:42
Here is something to talk about:
(def a (r/atom 1))
(def b (r/reaction (prn "b" @a) @a))
(def c (r/reaction (prn "c" @a) @a))
(def d (r/reaction (prn "d" @b @c) (vector @b @c)))
(prn "result:" @d)
Will print:
"b" 1
"c" 1
"d" 1 1
"b" 1
"c" 1
"result:" [1 1]
Now, if you deref d in a component like so:
[:div (pr-str @d)]
b and c will only compute once.
p-himik23:12:53
It is all working as intended, as far as I can tell. Reactions that are used outside of reactive contexts don't cache their values. You can reproduce it with something as simple as:
(def x (r/reaction (js/console.log "x")))
@x
@x
Geoffrey Gaillard01:12:11
Reagent is not pretending to be FRP which is still an open area of research, so yes it is working as originally intended, and it's not a sound reactive model. It is useful, it is handy, easy to learn. I enjoy using it and I make money doing so, but it has an abstraction ceiling. It is not algebraic, no equational reasoning. Caching is a hack. Using = to dedupe reactions is also a hack. The DAG is clearly visible in the code example, yet how I ask for value changes how it is computed. Does asking for the value of a triggers side effects? It depends. If a is a continuous signal, then sampling a twice should never run it twice. Not because it is cached or = to its previous value, but because it is just defined at all point in time. Solving this is crazy hard and out of scope for Reagent, and it's ok. Reagent and its design are not to be blamed at all. What I think is problematic is clojure developers consider reagent is doing the right thing, whatever it means, without questioning the model. It turns out it's a rabbit hole. I did that. Picking this model for a huge SPA was a terrible decision, and I'm not the only one who made that mistake. We should talk about it more as a community, otherwise it gives the impression no one actually care or even worse, that using clojure is manly for toy projects and real world usage is exceptional.
Geoffrey Gaillard01:12:25
I failed to produce a MRE for the diamond glitch in the time I was willing to allocate to it. So I failed to back my claim up. I therefore have to resort to the ad-populum argument (3 people here) and the famous "dude, trust me™" harold
p-himik08:12:32
Alas, I've seen enough clever people making trivial mistakes to doubt unbacked claims. Notice how I myself try to provide code when possible - have been on the other side of similar arguments before. :)
Geoffrey Gaillard08:12:25
The way your argument is greatly appreciated. I failed to produce a code example for the glitch and I'm ok with it. The above code example is enough to show it is not sound.
p-himik08:12:01
Depends on the definition of "sound", but I see what you mean, I think.
lilactown16:12:56
I bet my previous experiments were derefing at least one reaction outside of a reactive context, which was causing a glitch

Improved Load Distribution – Accommodating for Tight Fits
FiberWALES are fiber reinforced structural sections with higher stiffness than plastic lumber. This distributes impact loads to more pilings in a fender system. The product was developed for fender geometries that require the wales be formed to a tight radius. This can be important in narrower channels or areas where many structures are in close proximity.
FiberWALE can be designed with different dimensions and thicknesses to cost-effectively meet performance requirements. Shapes can be box sections or hat sections. Bolted splices are used to join wale sections.

Research conducted to measure the performance of PSL when exposed to fire demonstrates that it is appropriate for use in all applications for which solid sawn lumber and timbers are suited.
As a result of evaluations done in Canada by the Canadian Construction Materials Center (CCMC) and in the US by the Council of American Building Officials (CABO) PSL has been accepted for use in Heavy Timber construction when of appropriate cross section. Like timbers and glulam members, PSL of large cross section has proven to be resistant to fire because the low thermal conductivity of wood retards heat penetration, and slow charring rates allow these large members to maintain a high percentage of their original section.
The Fire Safety Design in Buildings book provides further information on building code requirements relating to fire safety and details the minimum size requirements for Heavy Timber construction.
General guidelines for PSL:
- Determine the load capacity required.
- Select size of PSL member which will meet the required load capacity.
- Ask the local distributor for technical literature and contact the manufacturer if engineering assistance is required.
- Determine if PSL members will be directly exposed to weathering or high temperature and high humidity for significant periods during the life of the structure. If so, consult with the manufacturer for information about preservative treatment.
- Check local availability for sizes and lengths.
- PSL is a patented product manufactured in both Canada and the US. For additional product information or technical information, contact Weyerhaeuser.

White-crested Coquettes
White-crested Coquettes (Lophornis adorabilis)
Hummingbird Information
The White-crested Coquettes (Lophornis adorabilis) are Central American hummingbirds.
Distribution / Range
White-crested Coquettes are native to central Costa Rica and western Panama.
They inhabit subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, as well as heavily degraded former forest - mostly from about 300 meters up to 1220 meters but may move down to lower levels.
Description
During the breeding season, the male coquette - also referred to as "Adorable Coquette" - has a white crest and long green cheek tufts. These ornate feathers may be helpful in territorial defense and potentially in attracting females. After the breeding season, the male loses his ornate decoration.
Nesting / Breeding
The breeding season takes place during the rainy season - from December to February with courtship seen as early as October. During the courtship dance, the male will fly and flutter side to side, forming short arches in front of the female.
The female is responsible for building the small lichen-covered cup-shaped nest out of green moss and line it with other soft plant fibers, and strengthen the structure with spider webbing. The nest is typically found on a low, skinny horizontal perch along the forest edge or a clearing; and is typically not well concealed.
The average clutch consists of two white eggs, which she incubates alone, while the male defends his territory and the flowers he feeds on. The young are born blind, immobile and without any down.
The female alone protects and feeds the chicks with regurgitated food (mostly partially-digested insects since nectar is an insufficient source of protein for the growing chicks). The female pushes the food down the chicks' throats with her long bill directly into their stomachs.
As is the case with other hummingbird species, the chicks are brooded only the first week or two, and left alone even on cooler nights after about 12 days - probably due to the small nest size. The chicks leave the nest when they are about 7 - 10 days old.
Diet / Feeding
White-crested Coquettesprimarily feed on nectar taken from a variety of brightly colored, scented small flowers of trees, herbs, shrubs and epiphytes - favoring Inga, Vochysia, Stachytarpheta and Lonchocarpus.
They use their long, extendible, straw-like tongues to retrieve the nectar while hovering with their tails cocked upward as they are licking at the nectar up to 13 times per second. Sometimes they may be seen hanging on the flower while feeding.
Many native and cultivated plants on whose flowers these birds feed heavily rely on them for pollination. The mostly tubular-shaped flowers actually exclude most bees and butterflies from feeding on them and, subsequently, from pollinating the plants.
They may also visit local hummingbird feeders for some sugar water, or drink out of bird baths or water fountains where they will either hover and sip water as it runs over the edge; or they will perch on the edge and drink - like all the other birds; however, they only remain still for a short moment.
They also take some small spiders and insects - important sources of protein particularly needed during the breeding season to ensure the proper development of their young. Insects are often caught in flight (hawking); snatched off leaves or branches, or are taken from spider webs. A nesting female can capture up to 2,000 insects a day.
Males establish feeding territories, where they aggressively chase away other males as well as large insects - such as bumblebees and hawk moths - that want to feed in their territory. They use aerial flights and intimidating displays to defend their territories.

shr() function takes a number and a bit count, and returns the result of shifting the bits of the number to the right by that count.
Numbers in PICO-8 are stored using a 32-bit fixed point format, with 16 bits for the integer portion, 16 bits for the fractional portion, and a Two's Complement representation for negative and positive values. Bit shifting uses the entire number representation. (See examples below.)
shr() performs an "arithmetic shift," which means that the sign of the number is preserved. Arithmetic right shift preserves the highest bit while also shifting a copy of it to the right, which effectively preserves the sign in Two's Complement representation.
The alternative to arithmetic shift is "logical shift." See lshr().
Superseded by >> operator Edit
>> operator added in 0.2.0 performs the same function as
shr() and is now the recommended way to shift bits right, as it uses fewer tokens, costs fewer cycles at runtime, and runs on the real host CPU much more efficiently. Simply replace
-- 8 = 0b00001000 binary -- 1 = 0b00000001 binary print(shr(8, 3)) -- 1 -- 1.000 = 0b0001.0000 binary -- 0.125 = 0b0000.0010 binary print(shr(1, 3)) -- 0.125 -- -1.000 = 0b1111111111111111.0 binary (two's complement) -- -0.125 = 0b1111111111111111.111 binary print(shr(-1,3)) -- -0.125 print(8 >> 3) -- 1, preferred method


Sorry, Darling, how much child benefit data is missing?
UK chancellor Alistair Darling recently admitted that discs containing personal details of families claiming child benefit had been lost
How much information can be in each record if there are 25m child benefit records on two CDs? David Baxter
A standard CD-R will hold 703MB of data -- about 737m characters -- so two discs will hold 1.474bn. That would only be 59 characters per record. However, it seems there are only 7.25m records, each record being a family with one or more children. That would provide 203 characters of data per family, which is enough to include names and dates of birth, an address and bank details.
The simplest way to put a single database on to two CDs is to zip it using an archiving program such as WinZip. This would allow password protection, and would also compress the data. Text can easily be compressed into less than half the space, allowing more data to be stored on the discs. In this case, it could provide from 300 to 400 characters per family.
And remember, with coding, many data fields take up very little space. Country of birth, for example, only needs two characters.

Avaya Interactive Response
Reference Number: AA-01093 Views: 3741 0 Rating/ Voters

The LumenVox speech recognition software is compatible with the Avaya Interactive Response platform (for other platforms, including Voice Portal, see Working with Platforms). This is done via the MRCPv1 connection, so before you begin you will need to have the following installed:

 - A working Avaya IR platform that already has speech recognition enabled — you may refer to our more complete Avaya IR/LumenVox Application Notes for more information on this.
 -
 - The LumenVox MRCPv1 Server (see our installation instructions)
 -
 - The LumenVox Speech Engine and License Server. These may run on the same machine as the MRCPv1 Server or different machines. (See our installation and licensing instructions for Windows or Linux.)
 -

To configure Avaya, you will use the Web-based administration tools and choose the Administration setting under the Speech and DPR Administrator menu choice:

 1. Click the Assign New Recognition Type button.
 2.
 3. Set the Engine type to mrcp-ibm
 4.
 5. Fill in the settings as appropriate. Ensure that the IP Address points to the IP address of your MRCPv1 Server.
 6.
 7. Make sure that the Server Name is the MRCPv1 Server's IP address, with /media/recognizer on the end of it. So if your MRCPv1 Server were on a machine with the IP address of 10.0.0.1, your Server Name would be 10.0.0.1/media/recognizer
 8.
 9. Once the server is configured, you will need to assign services and applications to it as you would any other ASR server in Avaya. Again, for detailed instructions on this, refer to the Avaya IR/LumenVox Application Notes.

Once you have configured your Avaya IR machine to point to the MRCPv1 Server, you will need to make two changes to the LumenVox MRCP configuration file:

 1. The mrcp_server_ip must be set to the actual IP address, not the loopback. You cannot use 127.0.0.1 for this and must put in the actual IP address of the machine hosting the MRCPv1 Server.
 2.
 3. The resource_string must be set to media/recognizer and not left at the default recognizer.
 4.
 5. Optional: if your Speech Engine is running on a different server from the MRCPv1 Server, you must change sre_ip to the IP address of that machine.
 6.

Based on data below, which acide is like to have the highest conductivity?
ACID Bond strength
1 Answer | Add Yours
The strength of an acid is proportional to the number of molecules and ions that are present in the acid solution. The stronger the acid the more ions that are present and the weaker the acid the more molecules that are present. Because there are more ions present in a strong acid, stronger acids are better conductors of electricity. But what does acid strength have to do with bond strength. In a strong acid molecules are easily broken apart into ions, and therefore, the bond strength is weak. However, in a weak acid molecules are not easily broken apart into ions, and therefore, the bong strength is strong. Consequently:
Strong acid = more ions = weak bonds = better conductivity
Weak acid = less ions = strong bonds = poorer conductivity
Therefore, because HCl has the weaker bonds, it is more conductive than HF.

out there. Hence you probably don't want to specify --timer=select
Accelerating Time
Regardless of which timing method you use, you can try specifying --sleep-accel to reduce the amount of time to sleep in usec. I've found this is useful for providing a "fudge factor" in some cases.
Tuning for High-Performance
Choosing a Packet Interval Method
The first recommendation is simple, use: --topspeed. This will always be the fastest method to send packets. If however you need some level of control, using --pps to specify packets/second is recommended. Using --pps-multi will cause multiple packets to be sent between each sleep interval, thus providing higher throughput potential then just --pps alone, but at the cost of traffic being more "spikey" then flat. Higher --pps-multi values improve performance and make the traffic more "spikey".
Using --mbps or --multiplier for high performance situations is not recommended as the overhead for calculating packet intervals tends to limit real world throughput.
Tuning your Operating System/Hardware
Regardless of the size of physical memory, UNIX kernels will only allocate a static amount for network buffers. This includes packets sent via the "raw" interface, like with tcpreplay. Most kernels will allow you to tweak the size of these buffers, drastically increasing performance and accuracy.
NOTE: The following information is provided based upon my own experiences or the reported experiences of others. Depending on your hardware and specific hardware, it may or may not work for you. It may even make your system horribly unstable, corrupt your harddrive, or worse.
NOTE: Different operating systems, network card drivers, and even hardware can have an effect on the accuracy of packet timestamps that tcpdump or other capture utilities generate. And as you know: garbage in, garbage out.
NOTE: If you have information on tuning the kernel of an operating system not listed here, please send it to me so I can include it.
General Tips
 1. Use a good network card. This is probably the most important buying decision you can make. I recommend Intel e1000 series cards. El-cheapo cards like Realtek are known to give really crappy performance.
 2. Tune your OS. See below for recommendations.
 3. Faster is better. If you want really high-performance, make sure your disk I/O, CPU and the like is up to the task.
 4. For more details, check out the FAQ
 5. If you're looping file(s), make sure you have enough free RAM for the pcap file(s) and use --enable-file-cache
 6. Use --quiet
 7. Use --topspeed or --pps and a high value for --pps-multi
 8. Use tcprewrite to pre-process all the packet editing instead of using tcpreplay-edit
 9. Virtualization technologies like VMWare and Xen may cause a lot of problems with packet timings. YMMV.
The following is known to apply to the 2.4.x and 2.6.x series of kernels. By default Linux's tcpreplay performance isn't all that stellar. However, with a simple tweak, relatively decent performance can be had on the right hardware. By default, Linux specifies a 64K buffer for sending packets. Increasing this buffer to about half a megabyte does a good job:
echo 524287 >/proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default
echo 524287 >/proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max
echo 524287 >/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
echo 524287 >/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default
On one system, we've seen a jump from 23.02 megabits/sec (5560 packets/sec) to 220.30 megabits/sec (53212 packets/sec) which is nearly a 10x increase in performance. Depending on your system and capture file, different numbers may provide different results.
*BSD systems typically allow you to specify the size of network buffers with the NMBCLUSTERS option in the kernel config file. Experiment with different sizes to see which yields the best performance. See the options(4) man page for more details.

Consuming an ASP.NET Web Service from Salesforce Apex Callouts
Salesforces wsdl2apex can be a bit basic in what is supports (see Supported WSDL Features).
Steps for consuming an ASP.NET web service from Apex.
 1. Add the Web service host to the Remote Sites.
 Adminitraction Setup > Security Controls > Remote Site Settings
 Skipping this step will result in a "System.CalloutException: IO Exception: Unauthorized endpoint, please check Setup->Security->Remote site settings. endpoint ="...
 2. Export the WSDL from the ASP.NET web service
 3. Optionally, you might like to sort the WSDL. The idea is to ensure wsdl2apex produces the same elements in the same order for future code comparisons.
 4. Import the WSDL into Salesforce
 Develop > Apex Classes > Generate from WSDL*
 5. Define a Apex class name
 6. Test the new Apex class using Execute Anonymous in Eclipse. With a ASP.NET generated web service I found the class I defined in the previous step had a nested class corresponding to the binding name from the uploaded WSDL. The nested class had a method that corresponded to the web method (the operation in the WSDL).
 7. Optionally, search the generated class for calls to WebServiceCallout.invoke(...). This will currently cause test cases to abort silently (except for a log message) and you may not notice. Sprinkle the code with a liberal amount of Test.isRunningTest().
*Common WSDL parsing errors:
 1. If the Parse WSDL button produces Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Found more than one wsdl:binding. WSDL with multiple binding not supported Deleting the second element what contains soap12 elements and the corresponding port definition under .
 2. wsdl:import
 Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Unknown element: import
 Locate the import elements in the current WSDL. E.g.. Pull that WSDL down and merge its contents into the parent WSDL.
 3. xsd:import
 Failed to parse wsdl: Found schema import from location External schema import not supported
 These will typically appear under . Copy the contents of the import under and remove the . See also: Discussion Forum: Referencing external schemas in a WSDL
 4. Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Failed to parse WSDL: Unable to find binding {}BasicHttpBinding_IWebService. Found BasicHttpBinding_IWebService instead.
 The had the attribute xmlns:i0="". i0: was being used as the namespace for the binding. Switching it to tns: resolved the issue.
 5. Error: Failed to parse wsdl: schema:targetNamespace can not be null
 In this case I needed to add a targetNamespace attribute and value to the element. E.g. becomes
 6. Apex Generation Failed:
 Unable to find schema for element; {}ArrayOfstring
 Unable to find schema for element; {}ArrayOflong
 In this case I'd initially made a mistake when pulling in the xsd for these complex types. I corrected it by putting the complex type definitions within a element in wsdl:type section.
 7. Error: wwwExampleComApi
 Error: Identifier name is reserved: long at 191:23
 This error was caused by the ArrayOflong type generating the following Apex:
 public class ArrayOflong {
 public Long[] long;
 private String[] long_type_info = new String[]{'long','','long','0','-1','false'};
 private String[] apex_schema_type_info = new String[]{'','false','false'};
 private String[] field_order_type_info = new String[]{'long'};
 Possible fix:
 public class ArrayOflong {
 public Long[] long_x; // Note the _x suffix to avoid the conflict
 // The first parameter here is what will appear in the SOAP message as the element name
 private String[] field_order_type_info = new String[]{'long_x'};
 8. Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Unsupported Schema element found At: 1866:57
 The WSDL had three "attribute" elements:
 -
 -
 -
 Commenting these out of the WSDL allowed into to be used with wsdl2apex. I'm not sure what adverse effects resulted from removing them.
 9. The use of in a complex type won't result in the base class fields appearing in generated Apex class.
 Try copying the fields from Apex class that was being extended into the sub class.

 1. hi
 i got unable to find schema for element.
 how can i solve this problem
 2. Hello Daniel,
 I am getting the following error, let me know if you have any solution for this
 Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Unable to find schema for element; {}schema
 Thanks in advance!!
 1. Hi Arish,
 Most likely your WSDL contains a "schema" element. Have a look at the Supported WSDL Features of WSDL2Apex.
 3. Thanks for the post. Helped a lot in generating my first apex class from.net wsdl file. I have a query.
 Along with the wsdl file, I have been provided with a dll(Miscrosoft.ServiceBus.dll) file which has some bindings to be used. I haven't used this to generate the code. When I try to get the output, I get the following error:
 Cannot send message because the service endpoint hosted at the specified address uses a binding that cannot be accessed over HTTP.
 So, how do I use this dll file and bind it to the WSDL file to generate the apex class? The binding need to be included in the generated class also.
 Please let me know.
 1. Hi "Man"ish,
 You won't be able to utilise a.NET DLL directly in Salesforce apex.
 If I had to guess from the error message you will probably need to use https rather than http.
 Try changing the endpoint_x in the wsdl2apex generated class.
 Failing that, see if you can get a sample SOAP message from a valid call to the web service and compare that to what Salesforce is generating.
 4. Hi,
 I am getting this error. Can someone tell why is this happening and how to fix this?
 Apex Generation Failed
 Unsupported WSDL. Found more than one part for message setCurrentScopeById
 1. Have a look at The WSDL most likely contains multi-part messages. You may be able to manually manipulate the WSDL to still import it with wsdl2apex.
 5. hey..
 i am getting an error
 Apex Generation Failed
 Unable to find schema for element; {}double
 so cud u plz give ant solution..
 although i have gone thru ol the supported wsdl constructs..yet not able to import even a single external wsdl file...
 here is my document plz have a look
 1. It's hard to day without seeing the schema. The schema link you provided is for a binary download, which I'm not game to try because of the potential security risk. would be a good place to post the question and the problem schema details.
 6. Nice post. what will you advice for a requirement implemented using 'Outbound Messages' which ensures of retrying and delivering the message.
 However how to handle and show the error on SF GUI thats sent by external system, due to some data error (as data is not saved in external system), As this failure is data error, outbound monitor message shall not retry to send.Any advice will help.
 1. When you are processing the outbound message you can get the Salesforce Session ID and ServerURL. You can use these to write data back to Salesforce. This could include any problem records that need manual follow up.

function form_load_include
7.x form.inc form_load_include(&$form_state, $type, $module, $name = NULL)
Ensures an include file is loaded whenever the form is processed.
Example:
 // Load node.admin.inc from Node module.
 form_load_include($form_state, 'inc', 'node', 'node.admin');
Use this function instead of module_load_include() from inside a form constructor or any form processing logic as it ensures that the include file is loaded whenever the form is processed. In contrast to using module_load_include() directly, form_load_include() makes sure the include file is correctly loaded also if the form is cached.
Parameters
$form_state: The current state of the form.
$type: The include file's type (file extension).
$module: The module to which the include file belongs.
$name: (optional) The base file name (without the $type extension). If omitted, $module is used; i.e., resulting in "$module.$type" by default.
Return value
The filepath of the loaded include file, or FALSE if the include file was not found or has been loaded already.

The Business Behind Classroom Economies: An Information Resource Guide
Classroom economy is essential for all students to understand because they will be dealing with the economy in the real world. It prepares the students and provides integral hands-on experience on how the national economy functions. Classroom economy also helps to instill a stronger sense of responsibility in students, nurturing them to grow up to become more responsible adults. Let's take a deeper look at classroom economies. Economics is an elementary part of social studies curriculum but it can be hard for younger students to grasp the principles of economics. In this sense, a classroom economy can invigorate the education process by serving as a fun way for students to act as economists as well as consumers in a classroom setting. A classroom economy can help to promote an understanding of basic economics principles and it also functions as a simple behavior management system wherein students become more responsible financially.
Objective of Class Economy
With the help of a classroom economy, students will:
- Compare their classroom economy system over history and time.
- Perform classroom tasks in order to earn their daily salaries.
- Evaluate the importance of their classroom tasks along with their daily responsibilities.
- Be taught about the importance on saving money.
- Understand that every decision has an opportunity cost.
- Participate in designing their classroom economy to mirror activity in the real world.

How Students Can Earn Money
Pay from Their Class Jobs
- In the classroom management system, students can decide how much is a particular job worth, and through the system, they can establish a pay scale. Jobs can be easily divided into various listings such as popular jobs or fun jobs to encourage the kids to sign up for such tasks. Students can either be paid at the end of the day or end of the week, depending on teacher preference.
Hiring Crew Leaders
- Different students can be selected each week to serve as the Crew Leader. The job of a Crew Leader is to check each and every job to ensure that it is performed correctly. In this manner, the working students will be paid appropriately. In fact, two different Crew Leaders can be selected so that they can share the job and check against each other.
Setting up a Bank for the Class
- A trustworthy student can be designated as the Class Banker in order to serve the class. Here, the class money can be stored in a container or a box so that the students can easily save the money which is earned during the day. The banker will be in charge of paying other students in accordance to their work and ensure that this designation is rotated responsibly.
Using Class Money for Reward system
- A stack of small denominations can be kept on the desk for rewarding students for their kind deeds or good behavior. The best way to develop social skills is to reward the positive behavior of students.
Issuing Brain Bucks
The student can print or write up some Brain Bucks on a piece of paper and assign values of worth. Then, the Brain Bucks are to be stored in a stack for easy access in the class room. When a student solves some problem or a puzzle in a creative way, the teacher can praise the student and reward the student by issuing a Brain Buck. An important note is that the teacher has to make sure that the student realizes how much these Brain Bucks are worth.
Spending Money Earned By Students
It is the most important part of classroom economy. As soon as the students earn their money, they will be interested to know how to spend the money. Some of the strategies are:
Offering Special Privileges
- The teacher can help students to use their money to purchase special privileges. For instance, they can spend their money to purchase extra time on the computers.
Setting Up of a Classroom Treasure Chest
- Some common activities include collecting items from free deals, buying items using book club points or asking for donations. Many parents will be willing to donate their money or items to help stock the classroom treasure chest. The teacher can make an appropriate time-table to show when students can visit the chest. Items can be labeled with different prices and visiting charges can also be introduced.
Establishing a Class Store
- The teacher can create a class store in which items can be stored. Furthermore, the students can help to organize the store, make the price tags and determine the prices. Some students can also play the role of store-keepers while others can shop. There should be a schedule for the visiting hours of the store.
Holding Class Auctions
- The teacher can appoint a student to be the auctioneer on the day of auction while others bid on the items. As always, the item is sold to the highest bidder. The class can source for donations from former students who may enjoy participating in the auctions. Local businesses and parents can also be approached for donations or the students can contribute their items for auctions.
All in all, the classroom economy offers useful tools which are used in economic transactions in real life. For instance, students will learn about debits and credits, budgeting of their finances, and getting an in-depth understanding of demand and supply. Eventually, classroom economy will enable the teacher to inculcate the basic principles of economic decisions and provide a firm foundation for students to succeed financially in their later life.

libjio - A library for Journaled I/O
Fire Ant (Solenopsis Invicta)
libjio is a userspace library to do journaled, transaction-oriented I/O.
It provides a very simple API to commit and rollback transactions, and on top of that a UNIX-alike set of functions to perform most common operations (open(), read(), write(), etc.) in a non-intrusive threadsafe and atomic way, with safe and fast crash recovery.
The library guarantees file integrity even after unexpected crashes, never leaving your files in an inconsistent state.
On the disk, the file you work on is exactly like a regular one, but a special directory is created to store in-flight transactions.
It's written in C and has no dependencies on external libraries. It's based on the POSIX/Single UNIX Specification API, and it runs in all major UNIX variants. When available, Linux-specific system calls are used for improved performance.
It also comes with Python (both 2 and 3) bindings that provide a file-like object.
It's in the public domain, so you can link the library with anything you want.
The rest of the documentation, including manpages, can be found in the source.
Code samples
Using the UNIX-alike API (simplified, without error checking):
 char buf[] = "Hello world!";
 jfs_t *file;
 jtrans_t *trans;
 file = jopen("filename", O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0600, 0);
 jwrite(file, buf, strlen(buf));
Using the basic, lower-level API (simplified, without error checking):
 char buf1[] = "Hello ";
 char buf2[] = "world!";
 jfs_t *file;
 jtrans_t *trans;
 trans = jtrans_new(file, 0);
 jtrans_add_w(trans, buf1, strlen(buf1), 0);
 jtrans_add_w(trans, buf2, strlen(buf2), strlen(buf1));
Using the Python bindings:
 import libjio
 f ="filename", libjio.O_RDWR | libjio.O_CREAT)
 t = f.new_trans()
 t.add_w("Hello world!", 0)
More complete code samples are included with the source.
The current version is 1.02 (released on 2011-02-27): You can also browse all released files.

Image_1_Suitability and Transferability of the Resource-Based Habitat Concept: A Test With an Assemblage of Butterflies.TIF
A functional definition of the habitat-concept based on ecological resources incorporates three interconnected parameters: composition, configuration, and availability of the resources. The intersection of those parameters represents the functional habitat of a given population or species. Resource composition refers to the co-occurrence of the resources required by each individual to complete its life cycle. Resource configuration refers both to the way individual resources are spatially distributed within the habitat and the way all the resources are organized in the habitat space. Resource availability refers to the accessibility and procureability of resources. Variation in these variables is predicted to influence the demography of the population. To test the suitability of this definition and its transferability across landscapes, we first conducted a very detailed study on habitat and resource use of five butterfly species within a large nature reserve. Second, we conducted a larger-scale study, focusing on metapopulations of two species. We monitored demography for each species and tested whether its variation can be explained by (1) the vegetation type, (2) the vegetation composition or (3) the availability and configuration of the species-specific ecological resources. To confirm that resource availability and configuration reflect habitat quality, we also assessed their impacts on individual morphology. Whatever the investigated spatial scale, our results quantitatively demonstrate the overall better performance of the resource-based habitat approach compared to other most commonly used approaches. Our analysis allowed us to assess the relative importance of each ecological resource in terms of both their availability and organization relative to the species' abundance, demography and individual fitness measures. Resource availability did not play the predominant role in defining habitat quality as it was in most cases overruled by resource organization. Finally, we confirmed the between-population transferability of the habitat definition and quality estimates while adopting a resource-based habitat approach. Our study clearly demonstrates the suitability of the resource-based definition of the habitat. Therefore, we argue that this approach should be favored for species of conservation concern. Although most conclusions so far have emerged from butterfly studies, the resource-based definition of the habitat should also be ecologically relevant to many other organisms.


# Using OpenCV in Objective-C code After publishing [Building OpenCV for iOS][1] article many of readers asked me how to use OpenCV within ObjectiveC code, because they encountered compilation errors. In this post I'll show you how to use OpenCV and ObjectiveC to make some image processing.
This post is outdated
Current version of OpenCV supports iOS toolchain and can be build in much easier way. You are welcome to read this post for educational purposes. It's 99.9% chance that you will not be able to use OpenCV as described here. Please use my OpenCV Tutorial project if you want to learn how to use OpenCV on iOS platform.
Please use my OpenCV Tutorial project if you want to learn how to use OpenCV on iOS platform.
In this post I'll use [GLImageProcessing][2] sample demo from Apple. Also you will need precompiled OpenCV for iPhone. How to make it read [here][1]. I've copied all OpenCV stuff to "opencv" folder into the GLImageProcessing. Here is project directory structure: ![example-directory-structure][3] Now, let's add OpenCV to our project. **First step - **specify the place, where the OpenCV headers are located. Add the path to OpenCV headers to the "Header Search Paths" property: ![opencv-include-headers][4] **Second step** \- set up path where the OpenCV libraries are. Please note: you will need to repeat this step for each configuration (debug/release, device/simulator) because of directory structure of the OpenCV libs. Add path of the OpenCV libraries to the "Library Search Paths" property (for release device this will be "opencv/lib/iphoneos/Release" if you follow directory structure listed above). **Third step**: Tell linker to include OpenCV to the output executable: ![opencv-link-libraries][5] As you can see i prefer use linker flags instead using XCode UI (Targets -> GLImageProcessing -> Link Binary With Libraries -> Add -> Existing Files...). There are several reasons: i prefer this way because i don't trust XCode :) (Actually because for all my projects i use cross-platform build system which allows to do such things much easies, but this is a topic for another article). Now, add #include to header files . I've added this include to Imaging.h header right after #include . Crossing fingers and hitting "Build and Run".....Oooops, compilation errors. Let's see, what we can do with all those errors. First of all - **change extensions of all .m files which include OpenCV headers to .mm**. This tells compiler that such file contains mixed ObjectiveC and C++ code. Also change extensions of all .c files to .cpp, because OpenCV uses STL, which is absent for pure C and thus you'll get compilation errors. Now, only one compilation error left: ''' opencv/include/opencv2/core/core.hpp:432: error: statement-expressions are allowed only inside functions opencv/include/opencv2/core/core.hpp:432: confused by earlier errors, bailing out ''' These errors are caused by MIN symbol, which is a macro in OpenCV and a function, defined somewhere in UIKit or other frameworks..Simple solution - **include OpenCV before iOS frameworks**. So...with all these fixes all builds fine. Now it's time to add some OpenCV code.. Let's change the matrix multiplication code! File Imaging.cpp '''cpp // Matrix Utilities for Hue rotation static void matrixmult(float a[4][4], float b[4][4], float c[4][4]) { int x, y; float temp[4][4]; for(y=0; y<4; y++) for(x=0; x<4; x++) temp[y][x] = b[y][0] * a[0][x] + b[y][1] * a[1][x] + b[y][2] * a[2][x] + b[y][3] * a[3][x]; for(y=0; y<4; y++) for(x=0; x<4; x++) c[y][x] = temp[y][x]; } ''' A little crappy code, isn't it? Let's rewrite it! '''cpp // Matrix Utilities for Hue rotation static void matrixmult(float a[4][4], float b[4][4], float c[4][4]) { cv::Mat(4,4,CV_32FC1, c) = cv::Mat(4,4,CV_32FC1, a) * cv::Mat(4,4,CV_32FC1,b); } ''' A bit of comments. cv::Mat is a type of OpenCV matrix. We initialize a matrix view, which takes data from the float[4][4] array, but not copy it. Result of multiplication of two views (a and b) assigned to view c which is a result. Hit "Build and Run", and here we go: ![Screenshot 2011.01.12 11.11.45][6] This is a very simple example which demonstrates that you can use OpenCV even with ObjectiveC without any problems. Good luck in your projects!

I would like to ask if anybody knows any result on the least number of edges the maximum simple cycle of connected cubic bridgeless graphs, must have. Thanks

So you are looking for the circumference of a connected cubic bridgeless graph $G$. Since a bridgeless cubic graph is immediately 2-connected, Bondy and Entringer showed in the paper
Longest cycles in 2-connected graphs with prescribed maximum degree, Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 1980,
that $G$ contains a cycle of length at least $4 (\log_2 n - \log_2\log_2 n - 5)$. And a graph which meets the bound is provided in the result Über längste Kreise in regulären Graphen by Lang and Walther, so this is the best possible.
For the reference, see Longest cycles in 3-connected cubic graphs by Bill Jackson. If the graph is 3-connected, then the bound can be improved to $\Omega(n^c)$ with $c\approx 0.69$, and there are efficient algorithm approximately finding a long cycle in $G$.

Hsien-Chih the bound you provide is negative for n<256, so for most practical graphs – N27 Jan 10 '11 at 3:12
_USER_: Oops so you need a bound for small size graphs. Maybe you can put the requirement in your question, and there may be someone who knows the answer. (I have no idea what the bound is when the graph is small, it seems like the result above is for sufficiently large n.) – Hsien-Chih Chang 張顯之 Jan 10 '11 at 3:29
_USER_-Chih There is something wrong with this bound obviously, since for 100,000 vertices it gives a cycle of length 30. Maybe they refer to something else in their publication. However, this problem doesn't seem trivial. – N27 Jan 10 '11 at 3:33
_USER_: I'm not sure if the bound is wrong. There are cubic bridgeless graphs with a large number of nodes with small maximum cycle. Take this graph for example. (This graph may not meet our bound, but it gives intuition.) – Hsien-Chih Chang 張顯之 Jan 10 '11 at 3:50
@ Hsien-Chih Chang, actually I learned what I wanted from the example of Dr. Eppstein, since what I needed was a counterexample of a cubic bridgeless graph with a max simple cycle of less than n/2 vertices. – N27 Jan 12 '11 at 5:31

Advertising: Innovation –Adoption Model
Rogers propounded the third model, which is known as Innovation –Adoption Model. This model has relevance to new product introductions and particularly useful for adoption of non-commercial services or practices in developing countries. The stages of evaluation and trail before adoption (or purchase) are considered significant in the design of advertising program. The decision in favor of making an evaluation is likely to be influenced by information available from various sources including advertising. Evaluation constitutes a major step towards the adoption of the product or service.
I do hope you have gone over the various models and are trying to understand the relevance of them in the context of advertising. It is basically how you register an advertisement after seeing it and the course of action as in the purchase that takes place.

Why is supranationalism important?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Supranationalism is the idea that countries need to give up some of their sovereignty to larger organizations like the EU. This idea is important only because it is affecting Europe to a large degree.
The EU is, if we take it as one economy, the largest economy in the world. It seems to be moving towards more of a supranational body as it tries to tell countries like Greece what to do with their internal finances. Since the health of European economies affects the whole world, the idea of supranationalism is important to the whole world.

Blood clots in arteries, for example in the coronary vessels, can be dissolved by injecting streptokinase into the blood. Streptokinase is formed by bacteria and rapidly breaks down the blood clot. The first treatment with streptokinase is much more effective than the second treatment. The diagram below shows the concentration of anti-streptokinase antibodies in the blood after the first and second injection of streptokinase, respectively. The second injection occurred 10 weeks after the first.

Barbed Wire Tattoos
Barbed Wire Tattoos Barbed Wire Tattoos History
The Barbed Wire Tattoos originated during Second World War and were used by prisoners to mark their bodies. The barbed wire depicted their state of mind and also their captivity. These tattoos have different associations. Initially, they were mainly associated with prison. Of late it has gained popularity among youths as is used as a symbol of rebellion and freedom. Barbed wire tattoos symbolize control of certain portion of land and punishing those who do not respect this rule. So it began as a violent symbol. In many countries some of the people that spend time in jail get barbed wire tattoos that represent the number of years they spend serving their sentence.
It also used to be used to identify convicts that have been sent to prison for life! While in Russia, this tattoo was etched on a convicts wrist or all across the forehead, to show that he had been put in for a lifelong term of imprisonment for an unforgivable crime, such as murder. barbed wire tattoos were invented in 1800's and have undergone an interesting evolution. The reinvention of this design is related to the prison camps during the World War II. In Russian prison system, a barbed wire tied on the forehead of the prisoner indicated a lifelong imprisonment. It was then adopted into the Latino culture in California. Previously, the number of spikes on the tattoo indicated the number of years spent in the prison.
Barbed Wire Tattoos Meaning
The Barbed Wire Tattoos are often made to symbolize and unbreakable bond between the person and God. Many times you will see barbed wire tattoos wrapped around a cross. People will get these on their biceps, back, and chest. These tattoos are made to represent that no matter what happens in someone's life, their connection with God is unbreakable. They represent an unbreakable faith with God. The barbed tattoo has taken its inspiration from the crown of thorns which Jesus was made to wear before being crucified.
It is a symbol of strength and faith in the power of the almighty. It is also a symbol which represents the fact that the individual wearing the tattoo has seen much hardship in his life and has been able to withstand all hurdles and pain, because of his faith in the Lord. barbed wire are known for the extremely prickly and strong features, a barbed wire tattoo can show that the tattoo bearer has the same nature. In some sense it may be used to show physical strength along with the sheer grit and determination. A person who has strong inner strength often chooses to get this tattoo made.
Barbed Wire Tattoos Design
The Barbed Wire Tattoo Designs are supposed to be an expression of imperviousness and imprisonment which was used by the old prisoners during the wars to express trauma and theirs getting used to live even in cruel custody. barbed wire tattoo designs is a very traditional tattoo. It is often worn by men around their biceps. Another popular tattoo is barbed wire wrapped around a heart. There are two different designs, which can be made using the barbwire. The first of them is the intertwined barbed design and the other one is the spiked barbed wire design. Depending upon your liking, you can decide any one of the designs for your tattoo. This tattoo design is popular not just with the menfolk but with the women folk as well. Women usually get one that has fine delicate design without losing the raw look.
Barbed Wire Tattoos Ideas
These tattoos can be carved on any part of the body. Ankles, wrists, upper arms are some of the popular places. Some people even go for such a tattoo on the neck, back, waist and chest. When sculpted on wrists and ankles, these tattoo designs look like bracelets. On neck, these tattoos look like permanent necklaces. One can even go for a barbed wire tattoo on the waist to form a belt like design. The back is also a good place to get such a tattoo. Since it provides for a broad expanse of canvas to make a tattoo, it is a preferred location. The tattoos can also extend from one shoulder to another, or from one's neck to just above the bottom.
