Meat Grinders
How to Use Meat Grinder
how to use meat grinder
It is easy to use the best meat grinder; assemble the grinder, place your meat on the plate, feed it down the hopper and then turn on the grinder. You then choose the speed you want the meat to be ground at, for KitchenAid, 6 to 8 is an ideal speed. You will be collecting your ground meat within no time. However, there are a few other things that are equally important. Here are some vital tips on:
How to Use Meat Grinder:
1. Keep Everything Cold
Keep everything cold
This is one very important consideration. Warm meat is bad for your grinder as it will smear, the fats leak out as well as have a cooked, pulpy and dry texture. To avoid this, ensure that your grinder spends an hour in the freezer before using it. Let you meat be well chilled up to the minute you start to grind it. For sausage meat which entails several grinds, place the ground meat into a bowl that is placed in another ice-filled bowl. This is to keep it well chilled.
2. Trim Your Meat
trim your meat
Smearing happens when the blade gets into contact with sinew thus making the blade become dull. The blade smooshes meat through the holes instead of cutting it. This results in a chewed up texture thus is in no way appealing. Therefore, trim your meat well
3. Look Out For Smearing
Smearing is visible and can, therefore, see it and correct it. Pieces of meat usually pass through the holes on the plate. In case you see both meat and fat coming out in one batch and often look wet and sticks on to the die surface, know that all is not well. Use the "reverse" function to fix the grinder if your grinder has one. Alternatively, disassemble the grinder, clean the blade and restart it.
4. Maintain a Sharp Blade

The blade is one part that needs your attention. You shouldn't let it become dull as it will smear meat. However, you should know that most blades get better with repeated use. This is because of the microscopically grinding down of the metal thus making the contact between the plate and the blade tighter after every use. In case your blades become dull, sharpening them maybe once a year would be ideal to keep them in top-notch. You can as well opt to replace the blades once in a while.
5. Large To Small Plate
In case you need the very fine grind for your sausages, grinding the meat twice is the way to go. Start with the ¼-inch plate, chill the meat again and then grind it using the smaller die. This will not only produce finer pieces of meat but also avoid smearing. The more even grind will result in a fine-textured sausage.
6. Salt Meat before Grinding

Salt dissolves some proteins and enables them to cross-link easier into a tight matrix resulting in the springier texture common in sausages.
Now you know that the best meat grinder doesn't always give you the best ground quality just like that. You need to take great care so that you don't compromise on the texture and quality of the ground meat.

using flash buttons
Adding sound to each button
In this next step, we will add some audio to each of the buttons. Adding sound to the button timeline is a little counter-intuitive due to the way sound was originally designed to work in Flash. The idea is to have some audio play when we move the mouse arrow over a piece of equipment, and have the audio stop when we move the mouse off of the equipment.
First, we must import the audio files from tutorial materials to our Flash project. Click on the File menu at the top of the screen and from the import option select import to library.
Navigate to your sounds folder and while holding the shift key, select all of the sounds. This is an easy way to import multiple sounds at one time without having to repeat the process for each file.
Once you import your sounds, it is good practice to keep them organized in your library. Click on the new folder icon at the bottom of your library window and name the new folder sounds. Drag each audio file to the folder.
Now let's add some sound to each of the buttons. To start, double-click on one of the buttons on the stage that you created from the previous lesson. This will bring you into symbol editing mode. In this example, we will use the helmet button. Click on the over state in your timeline, highlighting the keyframe.
Next, click on your properties window. Look under the section for sounds. (if you do not see the sounds menu in your properties window, try clicking on the over state keyframe again.) The sound name option will list all sounds that it finds loaded into your library. Pick the corresponding sound that matches with your button.
Next set the sync option to start. The sync describes how the sound will be synced with the timeline. If we choose event, every time a person moves the mouse over the button a new instance of the sound will be played, and this will sound chaotic. The start option will make sure only one instance of the sound file is played until it is stopped.
If you test the project now, you will see we are only have way done with the sound. It will play when we move the mouse arrow over the button, but will not stop when we move off of the button. This next step seems a little counter-intuitive, but it allows Flash to stop the sound that is playing. Next, click on the Up state in your timeline.
Then in your properties window, you will repeat the process of setting the sound name to your audio file. However, this time set the sync to stop.
Now test your project and you will see how the sound plays when you move the mouse arrow over a button, and stops when you move it off of a button.

Estimation of Wiener Diffusion Parameters Using Process Measurements Subject to Error
Most materials and components degrade physically before they fail. Engineering degradation tests are designed to measure these degradation processes. Measurements in the tests reflect the inherent randomness of degradation itself as well as measurement errors created by imperfect instruments, procedures and environments. This paper describes a statistical model for measured degradation data that takes both sources of variation into account. The paper presents inference procedures for the model and discusses some practical issues that must be considered in dealing with the statistical problem.

Arabic speakers appreciate their gift
by Samantha Fabian
TScreen Shot 2018-03-15 at 1.45.02 PMhere are currently over 6,000 distinct languages spoken all over the world today, and out of those, at least 350 are spoken in the United States. When it comes to Marian, an array of these various languages are represented within the student body, Arabic being one of them.
With Arabic being the fifth most spoken language in the world, there is no question when it comes to its importance in today's society. Because of its dominating presence, those who speak Arabic are provided with many advantages. The Marian girls who speak Arabic are able to feel the effects of these advantages, as they are given unparalleled opportunities to connect with a wide variety of people and cultures. This in turn has given them a broader view of the world and opened their minds to new ideas.
Senior Telly Mounto has grown up speaking Arabic ever since she was able to talk. Mounto was brought up speaking Arabic because her family wanted to keep their culture alive in their household and have her be able to communicate with her other relatives. Now, it is "an everyday commutative tool," Mounto said.
Even at an early age, Mounto was aware that being bilingual was at a huge advantage to her, as it made her unique and gave her a way to set herself apart from others. She notes that living in America has conformed her to typical Western standards, but being able to speak Arabic has allowed her to also stick to her roots and keep her individuality.
"Not everyone can say they can speak Arabic. It's a very hard language to learn and it automatically distinguishes you," Mounto said.
Speaking Arabic has also been a way for freshman Wejuic Majok to stick to her roots. Majok's parents emigrated from Egypt to the United States in 2003 with her family; Majok was only eight months old at the time. Her family came over with very limited knowledge of the English language, so she ended up learning Arabic while simultaneously learning English.
The process of juggling the two languages was challenging for Majok, as her parents were also trying to incorporate Dinka, their native tribal language, into her vocabulary as well. Despite the early struggles, Majok is glad to have grown up in an Arabic speaking household, as she is now able to reap the benefits from speaking Arabic.
Majok has been able to form friendships with other Arabic speakers because of their mutual understanding of the language. Majok has also been able to connect with people in the Omaha community by attending Sudanese mass with other Arabic speakers.
Despite Majok never receiving formal training in Arabic, she plans to do so in the future so that she is able to read and write in Arabic. Along with becoming literate, she also wants to take formal classes so that she is able to pass down the language to her children in hopes that they are able to appreciate their heritage and background as much as she has.
Just as Mounto and Majok did, Sophomore Agoum Monydhel also grew up speaking Arabic, as both of her parents originated from Sudan. With Arabic being her first language, she didn't begin to speak English until she was placed into English as a Second Language (ESL) classes as a kindergartener.
"Learning English was very difficult for me, because at the time I was entering the kindergarten with little English," Monydhel said. "It wasn't enough for me to enter the reading class, so learning English was a difficult task. However, Arabic just grew on me. I was hearing it all the time at home, so it was just acquired."
Monydhel appreciates being able to speak both English and Arabic because it allows her to communicate with her relatives living in Sudan. Whether it is with her cousins or strangers in a supermarket, Monydhel admits that speaking Arabic has presented her with more opportunities to connect with a plethora of people and encounter more diverse cultures than if she were monolingual.
So, whether it be Arabic or one of the other 350 languages spoken in the United States, it is important to remember that learning a new language can open up new doors of opportunity and leave a trail of lasting impacts.

Red Yeast Information | Evidenced-Based Supplement Guide on MedicineNet.com - How does Red Yeast work?
Red Yeast
How does Red Yeast work?
Red yeast supplements are manufactured by culturing Monascus purpureus yeast on rice at carefully controlled temperature and growing conditions to increase the concentrations of chemicals that lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides. These chemicals are similar to the prescription drugs known as "statins," including lovastatin (Mevacor) and others.
Are there safety concerns?
Red yeast rice might be safe when taken by mouth for up to 3 months. There isn't enough information to know if taking it for longer periods is safe. It can cause stomach discomfort, heartburn, intestinal gas, and dizziness.
Red yeast rice often contains chemicals similar to the prescription drugs called "statins." Therefore, red yeast can cause side effects similar to statin drugs such as liver damage and severe muscle pain and muscle damage. Red yeast rice should not be used without the supervision of a health care provider.

There is a paradox between what tourists such as Hayes experience and what many local Samoans eat – supermarkets and markets in Samoa frequently sell imported fatty, mutton flaps, turkey tails and unsafe to eat eggs.
An article titled "New Zealand's impact on health in the South Pacific: Scope for improvement?" in the New Zealand Medical Journal has warned "excess consumption of imported food, especially imported fatty meats, has a causative relationship with endemic obesity in the Pacific".
According to Islands Business, the most relevant survey on obesity in Samoa was done by STEP in 2002, and claims that 85.2 percent of the population in Samoa is obese.
The magazine also cites figures saying that 81.1 percent of men are obese or overweight and 89.8 percent of women are obese or overweight.
Critics condemn "clean, green" New Zealand for contributing to these statistics.
Mutton flaps are fatty scraps of sheep meat. They contain 27.4 gm of fat per 100 gm and New Zealand is a major exporter.
The Medical Journal article says: "From July 2006 to July 2007, NZ$73 million of sheep meat was exported to the Pacific Islands, constituting New Zealand's largest export good to the Pacific."
Co-author of the article in the NZ Medical Journal and associate public health professor at the University of Otago, Dr Nick Wilson, wrote: "I think it is really disgraceful for a wealthy country like New Zealand to export such unhealthy food.
"What is the point of giving Pacific countries development assistance on one hand – and then spreading heart disease epidemics via our hazardous exports on the other."
Another fatty meat regularly sold in Samoa is turkey tails.
They are imported from the United States of America and contain an even higher fat content than mutton flaps.
"Turkey tails top the fat content chart with 32 grams of fat per 100 grams," reports Islands Business.
Jason Garman, media and communications adviser for Oxfam New Zealand, says turkey tails have poor nutritional values.
"They are the fattiest part of the turkey. Most Americans don't even know they exist and wouldn't consider eating them."
So why are Samoans and the wider Pacific allowing these nutrition imports?
Dr Roman Grynberg, a Pacific authority on trade, says the reason is simple – many Pacific Islanders are poor "and these foods are cheap".
"Local healthy foods such as fresh fish, vegetables and root crops are much more expensive," he says.
Edwin Tamasese, a domestic egg farmer in Samoa, is saddened by the quality of eggs imported from the US.
Since March, imported eggs have been forced to put a use-by-date on their products but Tamasese laments that this has not changed much for domestic egg farmers.
"Importers are putting a 60-day sell by date on the cartons instead of the 30-day sell by date that California uses."
This means that when eggs are close to expiring in California, the US can dump them on Samoa, and recover some of their losses.
The major health risk due to the eggs being in the market place for 30 extra days is the presence of Salmonella enteritidus in American poultry.
"With the increased selling time there is a much higher probability of deadly bacteria within the eggs," says Tamasese.
The cheap, imported eggs have intruded heavily on the business of domestic egg farmers.
Tamasese says that the imported eggs have created an "uneven playing field".
The imbalance is responsible for the closure of 13 out of 15 farms on the island, and the remaining two are under severe pressure.
"Domestic producers now only supply approximately 10 – 15 per cent of the market," says Tamasese.
Documentary on diet
Mark Dolan's controversial documentary, The World's Fattest Families and Me, was broadcast recently.
Dolan journeyed to Tonga where he met Towa, 222 kg, and his daughter Sia, 133kg.
The documentary touched many when Dolan took Sia to the supermarket, and showed Sia the nutritional value in the fatty mutton flaps.
He told Sia New Zealanders did not eat this.
"This is the bit that they throw away," he said. Sia broke down in tears.
The documentary exposed that there are no food export regulations in place.
Sue Kedgely, Green Party MP and spokesperson for food, health and wellbeing, said: "New Zealand has a hands-off free trade approach to trade, and government seems to stand back and allow exporters to more or less do what they want."
Commercial interests take priority over the health of poor nations, such as Samoa.
"Trade is not neutral, it can have devastating effects on nations but trade occurs in a context where poverty in our region is endemic and power is used by our neighbours to further their own commercial interests," says Dr Grynberg.
Dr Grynberg also comments that mutton flaps would be processed into pet food in New Zealand, and by exporting the flaps cheap to the Pacific, suppliers can sell their product at a higher price to humans.
Nick Braxton, advocacy and research coordinator of Oxfam New Zealand, says the Samoan government is trying to ban turkey tails from being imported because of their poor nutritional value.
But because turkey tails are a waste product in the United States, and are generating profit, the US is opposing the ban.
The NZ Medical Journal says that Fiji banned mutton flap imports in 2000 and New Zealand responded by threatening to refer the issue to the World Trade Organisation because it goes against the policy of free trade between the two nations.
However, the threat was later dropped and the ban stands.
Dr Grynberg believes that it is an issue of giving the masses what they want, and that is the reason why the government has not taken action.
"Any Pacific Islands government that heavily taxes these products or bans them will suffer the ire of the working poor at the elections and so the issue is largely avoided." Dr Grynberg said.

There are two special kinds of model deployments on Baseten: development and production. Both development and production deployments have different features from other published deployments to match their role in the model lifecycle.
|Feature||Development deployment||Production deployment||Other published deployments|
|API: Deployment ID||☑||☑||☑|
|API: Model ID||-||☑||-|
|Scale to zero||☑||☑||☑|
What is a development deployment?
A development deployment is designed to make it easier for you to iterate on your model in an environment that closely matches production. As such, development deployments have three special properties:
- Development deployments have live reload so you can patch changes onto the model server while it runs.
- Development deployments don't have access to full autoscaling. They have a maximum of one replica and always scale to zero when not in use.
- Development deployments do not guarantee zero-downtime updates. A development deployment may be updated at any time, which may cause active requests to fail.
Live reload lets you use the Truss CLI to patch changes onto your running model server rather than waiting for an entirely new deployment.
Truss user guide
Learn how to use the Truss CLI to develop your model with live reload
What is a production deployment?
A production deployment is the main deployment of your model designated for production use.
When promoting from development to production, there are a few changes:
- The production deployment uses the production endpoint rather than the development endpoint.
- The production deployment has full access to autoscaling.
- Changes made to the development deployment do not affect the production deployment. Promoting a new deployment to production is the only way to update the production deployment.
A production deployment is fairly similar to any other published deployment, with two differences:
- A production deployment can be called using the production endpoint.
- A production deployment cannot be deleted (unless you delete the entire model).
Promoting to production
Any active deployment can be promoted to production.
Promoting the development deployment to production
Promoting the development deployment to production triggers a three-step process:
- A new deployment is created, with a new deployment ID. It is not yet the production deployment.
- The new deployment is allocated resources and started up.
- Once active, the new deployment becomes the production deployment, replacing any existing production deployment.
- If there was no existing production deployment, the new deployment is created with standard autoscaling settings.
- If there was an existing production deployment, the new deployment is created with the same autoscaling settings as the existing production deployment. The former production deployment is demoted but keeps its ID, autoscaling settings, and activity status.
Promoting the development deployment to production does not change the development deployment's ID, autoscaling settings, or activity status. You can continue to iterate on the development deployment with live reload.
Promoting another published deployment to production
When promoting an already published deployment to production, keep the following in mind:
- A published deployment keeps its deployment ID and autoscaling settings when being promoted to production (unlike development deployments).
- If the deployment is scaled to zero, it stays scaled to zero when promoted. You can manually wake the model before promoting it.
- If the deployment is inactive, you must activate it and wait for it to start up before promoting it to production.
The previous production deployment keeps its deployment ID, autoscaling settings, and activity status and joins other deployments in the deployment list.
Any active deployment, including the production deployment, can be deactivated.
- Deactivated deployments remain visible in the model dashboard.
- Deactivated deployments do not consume model resources.
- Requests to a deactivated deployment's endpoints will result in a 404 error.
- A deactivated deployment can be manually activated at any time from the model dashboard.
If you're regularly activating or deactivating deployments in response to traffic, consider using autoscaling with scale to zero instead.
Any deployment of a model can be deleted except the production deployment. To delete the production deployment, first promote a different deployment to production (or delete the entire model).
- Deleted deployments are removed from the model dashboard but will appear in your billing and usage dashboard.
- Deleted deployments do not consume model resources.
- Requests to a deleted deployment's endpoints will result in a 404 error.
- Deleting a deployment is a permanent action and cannot be undone.
If you aren't completely certain about deleting a deployment, consider deactivating it instead until you're ready to delete.


Interphase Equilibrium

The two-headed arrows in Fig. 8.1 indicate chemical equilibrium of components A and B between phases I and II. According to the discussion in Sect.1.11.14, the criterion of chemical equilibrium at fixed T and p is the minimization of the total free energy of the contents of the cylinder-piston in the figure. Since the total free energy is the sum of those of the two phases, this criterion is:
The free energy of a phase is related to the chemical potentials of its components by Eqs (7.27) Using the latter for components A and B in Eq (8.1) gives:
where nAI nBII are the numbers of moles of each constituent in each phase and pAI.. ,.pBII are their chemical potentials.
The change in the state of the system implied by the differentials in Eq (8.1) is the movement of a small quantity of one of the two components from phase I to phase II without altering the other component. Thus, if dnAI moles of A are transferred from I to II, the change in nAII is dnAII = -dnAI. Because component B is not moved, dnBI = dnBII = 0. Inserting these mole relations into the preceding equation yields the result pAI = pAII. Applying the same argument to component B yields pBI = pBII. In general, for any number of components in the two-phase system, the conditions for chemical equilibrium are:
The chemical potentials are seen to be analogous to the thermal and mechanical potentials which provide the equilibrium conditions Ti = Tn and pI = p n. Equation (8.2) is the multicomponent generalization of the equilibrium condition for two coexisting phases of a pure substance, namely gI = gII, where g is the molar free energy (Eq (5.2)).

Fractional Exec-Consultant-Freelance
The following as described by Wikipedia are the definitions of Fractional, Consultant and Freelance:
Fractional executives are professionals who have decided to offer their advice and skills to organizations on a for-hire basis. These executives have typically served a number of years in a business environment in roles such as chairman, owner, CxO, SVP, VP, or director. Their skills may be focused in one discipline or could be more broad-based, depending on the role(s) they have served.
 - Internal consultant: someone who operates within an organization but is available to be consulted on areas of their specialization by other departments or individuals (acting as clients) or
 - External consultant: someone who is employed externally to the client (either by a consulting firm or some other agency) whose expertise is provided on a temporary basis, usually for a fee. Consulting firms range in size from sole proprietorships consisting of a single consultant, small businesses consisting of a small number of consultants, to midto large consulting firms, which in some cases are multinational corporations. This type of consultant generally engages with multiple and changing clients, which are typically companies, non-profit organizations, or governments.
For those that have reached executive level during their careers, you will want to decide if you would prefer to take on projects where you act as an interim or temporary executive and or projects where you are being sourced as a consultant for your expertise. From a positioning perspective, positioning yourself as a consultant will not place you at a disadvantage if you brand yourself in a manner that clearly outlines your capabilities and credentials. Some have expressed that positioning themselves as consultants or fractional execs has impacted their ability to land future work and, as a result, have stayed away from taking on projects while in-between jobs. In this Gig economy, it's all about positioning. Therefore, do not miss the opportunity to land additional paid opportunities while anticipating your next semi-permanent or permanent role. Examples of fractional executive work could fall under functions such as:
Fractional CEO
Fractional CFO
Fractional CTO
Fractional COO
Fractional CMO
Fractional CxO
Fractional CIO
Fractional executives should be viewed as those that have risen to the top of their field and are offering their expertise on a retainer or project basis to solve a problem for the company. Positioning oneself as a Fractional executive could align with higher-paying opportunities should your credentials support your positioning.
Consultants have been brought in for multiple roles on a contract or project basis for years to help support isolated company needs. Conceptually, fractional exec work from problem-solving, but not always complexity runs parallel.
If you never reached the C-Suite during your career, positioning your capabilities as a consultant will still be vital in your ability to build a brand as a subject matter expert as well as position yourself as a problem solver in a specific area.
Five questions to ask yourself when developing your offering regardless of how you would like to classify yourself as Fractional, Consultant, or Freelance would be as follows:
 1. What problem do I want to solve?
 2. Who do I want to solve it for?
 3. What credentials do I have that support my ability to solve that problem?
 4. Who do I know in my network that can align me with my target audience?
 5. What business development tasks will I start with to build my business?
Three questions to ask yourself when taking on a new role are:
 1. What will the role include?
 2. What does success look like for this position?
 3. What is the time commitment?
In conclusion, having a clear understanding of your capabilities and researching who you will want to provide services to will help you formulate how you want to position your service offerings from a branding perspective. If you are a seasoned and multi-faceted executive, think about the benefits of positioning yourself as a fractional executive and or consultant.

I have $Q_8=\{I,A,A^2,A^3,B,AB,A^2B,A^3B\}$ where $A=\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ -1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ and $B=\begin{pmatrix} 0 & i \\ i & 0 \end{pmatrix}$
Now I take a look at $Q_8/N$ for all $N\unlhd Q_8$ (i.e for which G is there an isomorphism $Q_8/N\cong G$??)
I know that $|N|\in\{2,4\}$. If $|N|=2$ then $N=\{I,-I\}$ and clearly $Q_8/N\cong V$ where V is Klein-Four group.
What if $|N|=4$?

The quotient group in that case is of order $2$. – Lubin Dec 10 '12 at 20:40
So they probably will be isomorphic to $\mathbb Z_2$ and $\{I\}$ but how do the $Q_8/N$ look explicitly? – Voyage Dec 10 '12 at 20:45

Let's work out explicitly what the quotient looks like by a subgroup of order 4. Specifically, let's quotient by $\left = \{1,A,A^2,A^3\}$.
$Q/\left$ is, by definition, the set of cosets of $\left$ in $Q$. As pointed out, there must be two cosets because 8/4=2. One of these cosets, $S_1$, contains the elements of $\left$, and the other, $S_2$, contains the leftovers: $\{B,AB,A^2B,A^3B\}$.
Strictly speaking, these two cosets are the elements of $Q/\left$. The group operation is defined as the usual product for two subsets of a group. If $S$ and $T$ are subsets of group $G$, their product $ST$ is said to be the set $\{st|s\in S, t\in T\}$.
Under this product, the two cosets of $\left$ in $Q$ form a group. You can verify directly that $S_1S_1 = S_2S_2 = S_1$ and $S_2S_1=S_1S_2 = S_2$. These relations demonstrate that $Q/\left$ is cyclic of order 2.
This is a relatively unexciting example. If there were more than two cosets, you might have to compute several pairwise products before discovering the structure of the quotient group. Because $|Q/\left|=2$, there was only one possibility for a group structure. Also, if you were to take $G/H$ with $H$ not normal in $G$, you would find that the cosets would not form a group under the product we defined.

Are you nervous about proposing a contract to your client? Among the many importance and values of having one are as follows: a contract provides a well-written detailed agreement of each party's responsibilities. It binds both parties to their duty as stated on the agreement as well as agreed schedule or time frame. It ensures secured payment for virtual assistant services rendered. During recourse moments when relationships between client and VA falter, you can use the said agreement to demand payment.
A virtual assistant agreement is a document between two parties, the virtual assistant and the client for a contractual working relationship. Virtual assistants can help with almost anything an in-person assistant can. Information such as required hours, can be included if applicable. In an arrangement like this, standard contractual clauses are also included, like choice of law and place.
In this document, basic identifying info regarding the parties will be entered, like names and address details. Then, details about the actual work and the virtual assistance services, like what the projects are, deadlines, milestones, fees info, etc., will be included. After this document is filled out, it must be printed in order that both parties can sign it. Then, a best practice is for both parties to keep a copy.
By setting out a clear agreement between you and the client, both parties know exactly where they stand, what's expected, who has the rights to what, when payment must be made, how to terminate the agreement, and so on.


3.1.6.1. Boxplots and paired differences
Plot boxplots for FSIQ, PIQ, and the paired difference between the two: while the spread (error bars) for FSIQ and PIQ are very large, there is a systematic (common) effect due to the subjects. This effect is cancelled out in the difference and the spread of the difference ("paired" by subject) is much smaller than the spread of the individual measures.

Note. Most of the time a worker maps to a system thread, but the exact semantics is backend dependent. Workers are typically used to determine the future of futures queues.
Threads. If a backend uses threads it guarantees that the number of threads is 0 before any call is made to Fut.apply or Fut.Runtime.set_worker_count. This allows to fork TODO we need more to be able to fork.
val worker_count : unit -> int
worker_count () is the number of workers used by the backend.
val set_worker_count : int -> unit
set_worker_count n sets the number of workers to n.
Raises Invalid_argument if n is negative.
Note. Clients don't need to call this function explicitely, backends will automatically adjust workers once Fut.apply is called. Also if the number of workers is set to 0, a new call to Fut.apply may change the worker count again.
Warning. In most backends calling this function explicitely with n > 0 makes the program multithreaded..

The Nadal formula, also called Nadal's formula, is an equation in railway design that relates the downward force exerted by a train's wheels upon the rail, with the lateral force of the wheel's flange against the face of the rail. This relationship is significant in railway design, as a wheel-climb derailment may occur if the lateral and vertical forces are not properly considered.
The Nadal formula is represented by:
In this equation, L and V refer to the lateral and vertical forces acting upon the rail and wheel, δ is the angle made when the wheel flange is in contact with the rail face, and μ is the coefficient of friction between the wheel and the rail.
Typically, the axle load for a railway vehicle should be such that the lateral forces of the wheel against the rail should not exceed 50% of the vertical down-force of the vehicle on the rail. Put another way, there should be twice as much downward force holding the wheel to the rail, as there is lateral force which will tend to cause the wheel to climb in turns. This ratio is accomplished by matching the wheelset with the appropriate rail profile to achieve the L/V ratio desired. If the L/V ratio gets too high, the wheel flange will be pressing against the rail face, and during a turn this will cause the wheel to climb the face of the rail, potentially derailing the railcar.
The Nadal formula assumes the wheel remains perpendicular to the rail—it does not take into account hunting oscillation of the wheelset, or the movement of the wheel flange contact point against the rail.
A variation of the Nadal formula, which does take these factors into consideration, is the Wagner formula. As the wheelset yaws relative to the rail, the vertical force V is no longer completely vertical, but is now acting at an angle to the vertical, β. When this angle is factored into the Nadal formula, the result is the Wagner formula:
When the vertical force is truly vertical (that is, β=0 and therefore cos(β)=1), the Wagner formula equals the Nadal formula.

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF HIGH-POLE LED LIGHTING ON THE STADIUM?
The word high pole LED states that a high output fixture is mounted on top of a very tall poll. The light poles can range from 50 feet high mounting height to 150 feet and each pole has the capacity of holding lights from 2 to as many as 16 light fixtures.
In the stadium, the poles will be very tall so as to provide the appropriate lighting density while playing sports during night times. The high pole LED lighting should provide sufficient light without there being an excessive glare.
The lighting system in a stadium requires careful design to ensure excellent visibility and most sports stadiums, and indoor areas use high-intensity discharge lamps for the lighting needs. The stadium light comes with a much higher wattage than other outdoor lighting applications such as billboards, parking lots, and roadways.
The high pole LED lighting in the stadium is designed in such a way that it has to cover the entire surrounding and with maximum clarity. And the LED lights should be of good quality so as to not cause any irritation or uncomfortable when the eyes get exposed to it. The pole should be of a good height as the brightness of the lights will be higher than the normal LED lights used in different buildings.
So, while finalizing the LED lights for the stadium few things should be considered as the quality of the pole, the height of the pole, the distance of each pole, and the standing capacity of lights on the pole. LED lights can be customized to fit in as per the requirement and it is environmentally friendly and cost-effective too.

Based on the seasonal distribution character and its change about cloud and water vapor in Qilian mountain, the results as following: The total cloud is most in spring and it is take second place in summer. The low cloud is most in summer, it is take second place in spring. Both total cloud and low cloud is least in autumn and in winter. During the past 45 years, total cloud is decreasing and low cloud is increasing in spring and in summer, the precipitation is increasing at the same time, total cloud and low cloud and precipitation have a decreased tendency in autumn, total cloud and precipitation is adding in winter, but low cloud is reducing in winter. There are positive correlation between total cloud and precipitation in summer and in autumn. The positive correlation happened between low cloud and precipitation in spring and in summer and in autumn, but has negative correlation in winter at the middle and eastern part of Qilian mountain, which is not notable in winter. Vapor flux is transported to the Qilian mountain areas along two path, there is strong vapor flux convergence in this region, the value is from 0.1 to 0.05 kg/(m2·s) in the eastern part of Qilian mountain and is from 0.05 to 0 kg/(m2·s） in the middle and western part. Med and the Caspian sea and the Black sea and the Aral sea are the headstream of water vapor of Qilian mountain, but it is different in every season. The net vapor flux value is positive in spring after 1979 and which is adding also, which is positive and has a increasing trend in summer in past 45 years, but is negative in autumn and in winter. In brief, the water vapor resource in Qilian mountain has a good potency for exploitation in spring and summer.

It's Cold Outside...Let's Keep the Bogey Going
During an oral history interview with 95-year-old Alice Mercer, originally of Bay Roberts, I asked her to share some memories from her school days. She talked about having to go outside in all kinds of weather to use the washroom, and how it was hard work for the teacher to keep the classroom warm.
"We had stoves in all the classrooms. Teachers had a time to try and learn us something and keep the bogey going. One of the boys would come with a handful of splits in the morning and the bucket of coal. Used to buy the coal from the coal shed. He'd light the fire and it was up to the teacher then to keep it going. sometimes the teacher would forget it and it would go out. Then we'd get cold."
Wait, "...keep the bogey going"? What's a bogey? From the context of the conversation I could see that with her use of the word bogey, she was referring to a stove for heating, but since I hadn't heard that word before, I checked the Dictionary of Newfoundland English, just to make sure. It states:
bogie n also bogey, bogy. PARTRIDGE bogy 4 'a stove for heating'; SND ~ 'cooking galley on a fishing boat (1916); DC Nfld (1916-). A small stove used originally on a fishing schooner; applied generally to any small coalor wood-burning stove.
This was the word that Alice and her family would have used for a wood stove when she was a child. But do people still use it? And are there regions of the province that it is more widely known?
(The above photographs of two variations of small stoves, or bogeys, were taken from the Geography Collection - Historical Photographs of Newfoundland and Labrador on MUN's Digital Archives Initiative.)
If you have an experience with this word and its uses, please feel free to drop me a line and let me know.

Mat Heathertoes
Mat Heathertoes
Biographical Information
DeathT.A. 3019
Physical Description
"All good fellows, and they're missed"
Barliman Butterbur[1]
Mat Heathertoes (died Third Age 3019) was a Man of Bree.
[edit] History
With the War of the Ring raging in the South-east, many refugees came up the Greenway to Bree. Not all these refugees came with the same intentions: a group of ruffians was ousted from the town near the end of T.A. 3018. With the help of Bill Ferny and Harry Goatleaf, they returned soon after New Year, and a fight ensued. The number of casualties on the side of the ruffians was not recorded, but five of the Bree-folk, three Men and two Hobbits, were killed. Mat Heathertoes was one of them.[1]
[edit] Etymology
Mat was a name employed by Tolkien to translate the common (but untranslated) Hobbit name Matta.[2] The name Heathertoes was, like all surnames of the Men of Bree, a plant name,[3] though this seems to have escaped Tolkien when he wrote a list for translators. In it he said Heathertoes was a Hobbit name, and was given in joke to the unshod Hobbits. While walking, they would gather twigs and moss between their toes.[4] However, Mat was most certainly a Man: given that two of the five were Hobbits[1], and the last two named victims - Willie Banks and an Underhill were both positively identified as Hobbits as well.[3][4]
[edit] Portrayal in adaptations
Though the "set-to" with the ruffians is mentioned by Butterbur, he does not give the names of the casualties.[5]

Low-temperature spin dynamics in the face-centered-icosahedral Zn-Mg-Tb quasicrystal has been investigated by inelastic neutron scattering around its spin-glass-like freezing temperature (Tf 5.8 K). A single broad inelastic peak, centered at ω 2.5 meV, was observed in the inelastic scattering spectrum at temperatures ranging from the base temperature up to ∼20 K. The inelastic peak energy is Q independent, whereas the peak intensity shows weak Q dependence, which is qualitatively similar to that observed for the elastic diffuse scattering. The inelasticity of spin excitations is hardly seen in canonical spin glasses and thus is a distinct feature of the Zn-Mg-Tb quasicrystal. We argue, with an aide of numerical simulation, that this broad inelastic peak can be interpreted as localized collective fluctuations of short-range-ordered spins in a dodecahedral spin cluster. In a much lower-energy region (ω<0.8 meV), we observed a strong quasielastic signal, appearing only above Tf; its peak width decreases as the temperature is lowered and vanishes at Tf. It is thus evident that the quasielastic signal corresponds to a slow spin dynamics that freezes at the macroscopic freezing temperature. The coexistence of the inelastic peak and quasielastic signal suggests that the short-range order in the single cluster is robustly formed but is dynamic for Tf <T<20 K. The macroscopic freezing at Tf is, thus, attributed to a random freezing of spin-cluster fluctuations.

POWELL, Wyo. — Wyoming sheep producers lost fewer sheep last year even though predation increased slightly.
According to a U.S.D.A survey conducted in January, producers lost an estimated 43,000 sheep and lambs, down from 55,000 in 2011.
The Powell Tribune reported Tuesday that the losses were mainly attributed to weather, disease and other environmental factors. Predation rose 6 percent over 2011.
Todd Ballard of the U.S.D.A. says the drought drove wildlife out of the mountains in search of water and they encountered sheep at watering holes.
Coyotes were responsible for killing the most sheep among wildlife but eagles have also become a problem as well. Eagles killed more sheep than bears and wolves combined in each of the last two years.

Las Palmas Water Theatre
The Las Palmas Water Theatre by Grimshaw was based on the biomimetic design principle of mimicking process - in this case the way in which the Namibian fog-basking beetle has evolved a way to create its own fresh water in a desert.
This scheme employed similar ingenuity to take advantage of the sunny conditions, steady wind direction and cold seawater to create large amounts of desalinated water for the town of Las Palmas. The evaporators and condensers which are the basis of this technology were arranged to create a back-drop to an outdoor amphitheatre. What might normally have been a mundane piece of infrastructure is elevated to the level of sculpture.

Archiving MySQL Tables in ClickHouse
Archiving MySQL Tables in ClickHouseIn this blog post, I will talk about archiving MySQL tables in ClickHouse for storage and analytics.
Why Archive?
Hard drives are cheap nowadays, but storing lots of data in MySQL is not practical and can cause all sorts of performance bottlenecks. To name just a few issues:
 1. The larger the table and index, the slower the performance of all operations (both writes and reads)
 2. Backup and restore for terabytes of data is more challenging, and if we need to have redundancy (replication slave, clustering, etc.) we will have to store all the data N times
The answer is archiving old data. Archiving does not necessarily mean that the data will be permanently removed. Instead, the archived data can be placed into long-term storage (i.e., AWS S3) or loaded into a special purpose database that is optimized for storage (with compression) and reporting. The data is then available.
Actually, there are multiple use cases:
 - Sometimes the data just needs to be stored (i.e., for regulatory purposes) but does not have to be readily available (it's not "customer facing" data)
 - The data might be useful for debugging or investigation (i.e., application or access logs)
 - In some cases, the data needs to be available for the customer (i.e., historical reports or bank transactions for the last six years)
In all of those cases, we can move the older data away from MySQL and load it into a "big data" solution. Even if the data needs to be available, we can still move it from the main MySQL server to another system. In this blog post, I will look at archiving MySQL tables in ClickHouse for long-term storage and real-time queries.
How To Archive?
Let's say we have a 650G table that stores the history of all transactions, and we want to start archiving it. How can we approach this?
First, we will need to split this table into "old" and "new". I assume that the table is not partitioned (partitioned tables are much easier to deal with). For example, if we have data from 2008 (ten years worth) but only need to store data from the last two months in the main MySQL environment, then deleting the old data would be challenging. So instead of deleting 99% of the data from a huge table, we can create a new table and load the newer data into that. Then rename (swap) the tables. The process might look like this:
 1. CREATE TABLE transactions_new LIKE transactions
 2. INSERT INTO transactions_new SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE trx_date > now() – interval 2 month
 3. RENAME TABLE transactions TO transactions_old, transactions_new TO transactions
Second, we need to move the transactions_old into ClickHouse. This is straightforward — we can pipe data from MySQL to ClickHouse directly. To demonstrate I will use the Wikipedia:Statistics project (a real log of all requests to Wikipedia pages).
Create a table in ClickHouse:
Please note that I'm using the new ClickHouse custom partitioning. It does not require that you create a separate date column to map the table in MySQL to the same table structure in ClickHouse
Now I can "pipe" data directly from MySQL to ClickHouse:
Thirdwe need to set up a constant archiving process so that the data is removed from MySQL and transferred to ClickHouse. To do that we can use the "pt-archiver" tool (part of Percona Toolkit). In this case, we can first archive to a file and then load that file to ClickHouse. Here is the example:
Remove data from MySQL and load to a file (tsv):
Load the file to ClickHouse:
The newer version of pt-archiver can use a CSV format as well:
How Much Faster Is It?
Actually, it is much faster in ClickHouse. Even the queries that are based on index scans can be much slower in MySQL compared to ClickHouse.
For example, in MySQL just counting the number of rows for one year can take 34 seconds (index scan):
In ClickHouse, it only takes 0.062 sec:
Size on Disk
In my previous blog on comparing ClickHouse to Apache Spark to MariaDB, I also compared disk size. Usually, we can expect a 10x to 5x decrease in disk size in ClickHouse due to compression. Wikipedia:Statistics, for example, contains actual URIs, which can be quite large due to the article name/search phrase. This can be compressed very well. If we use only integers or use MD5 / SHA1 hashes instead of storing actual URIs, we can expect much smaller compression (i.e., 3x). Even with a 3x compression ratio, it is still pretty good as long-term storage.
As the data in MySQL keeps growing, the performance for all the queries will keep decreasing. Typically, queries that originally took milliseconds can now take seconds (or more). That requires a lot of changes (code, MySQL, etc.) to make faster.
The main goal of archiving the data is to increase performance ("make MySQL fast again"), decrease costs and improve ease of maintenance (backup/restore, cloning the replication slave, etc.). Archiving to ClickHouse allows you to preserve old data and make it available for reports.

- 1st − 31st January 2012 | Scottish National Gallery
Major new acquisition
The National Galleries of Scotland is delighted to announce a major new acquisition, Rome from Monte Mario (1820) by J.M.W. Turner. Rome from Monte Mario strengthens this annual display of watercolours, illustrating an aspect of the artist's work not previously represented.
Turner was perhaps the most prolific and innovative of all British artists and his skills have been much admired ever since his lifetime. Rome from Monte Mario is one of his finest watercolours and was made after his first visit to Rome, between August 1819 and February 1820. Turner was delighted and overwhelmed by the trip: the ancient remains, profusion of Renaissance and Baroque buildings, and splendour of the city's setting fired his imagination.
This delicate and sophisticated work was created as part of a set of Italian scenes for his friend and patron Walter Fawkes (_PHONE_). The view Turner chose for the watercolour is unusual and highly ambitious. He depicted the city at sunset, looking in a south-easterly direction from just below the top of Monte Mario. On the right is the dome of St Peter's; just to the right of the centre of the composition is the Castel Sant' Angelo, and further to the left the Campidoglio. The Via Angelico is the road that cuts across the fields in the foreground and is flanked by smoke from bonfires, curling up into the golden evening light. An idyllic image of a boy playing pipes to a demure girl in the forefront completes the scene.


How To Make a Simple iPhone Amplifier
video How To Make a Simple iPhone Amplifier
You can make a simple, passive iPhone amplifier with a bowl or deodorant cap. This video shows how and why it works.
stubbsonic1 year ago
I think the theory that is mentioned in the video is a little misleading. Sound waves from the iPhone® speaker propagate (fancy word) in all directions. Placing the speaker in a bowl not only causes the waves that would have been directed away from the phone to be bounced back-- to join the waves already headed toward your ears-- but it also focuses them (because the bowl is concave). In other words, it acts like a lens to focus the waves reflection into a narrower beam.
The deodorant cap seems to do two things, both resonating and reflecting/focusing. But I'd be curious to know exactly why the vibrations emanating from the iPhone® speaker are not as loud as with the cap on, since the cap also propagates the same sound energy in all directions-- and in fact it loses some of that energy as the cap is not without it's kinetic losses.
HowToLou (author) stubbsonic1 year ago
You are right about increased focus, but the gain amplitude gain comes from matching the acoustic impedance of the speaker to that of the air, as the video demonstrated with the water table. See
Thanks for that info. I'm going to have to study "acoustic impedance" (I've not heard of it until now).


text: This paper describes the creation of a hypothetical virtual art exhibit using a virtual environment task analysis tool. The Virtual Environment Task Analysis Tool (VETAT-ART) is a paper-and-pencil tool developed to provide structure and guidance to the needs-analysis process that is essential to the development of lifelike virtual exhibits. To illustrate its potential usefulness, VETAT-ART is applied to the design of a historical art exhibit. The first part of the article draws a general profile of our sample application. It introduces organizational-, user-, and task-related factors typically collected when designing or modifying most computer-based systems. The second part of the paper presents the user and task requirements unique to the creation of a virtual environment. Task requirements determine the contents of various storyboards and draw the architecture of the environment. Storyboards describe the images, sounds, sensations, and scents to be found in individual galleries. The architecture establishes a sensible order in which the galleries may be accessed. User requirements determine the human sensory, cognitive, and ergonomic needs relevant to the key activities museum visitors are expected to perform. Activities include visualization and inspection, exploration, and the manipulation of virtual artifacts. Eight goal-categories define user requirements. Visual, auditory, and haptic requirements are determined by humansensory issues. Features relevant to memory capacity, information load, and mental models describe cognitive issues. Physical and physiological considerations are determined by human ergonomics. The third section of the paper suggests usability goals and possible measures of success. In conclusion, limitations and potential extensions of the tool are discussed.

Polygonal Fractures on Tycho Ejecta Deposits
December 7, 2012
Tycho is a young and prominent rayed crater on the lunar nearside. During the impact that formed Tycho crater a large mass of impact melt was thrown out on its north side that resulted in a series of beautiful flow patterns. The melt ponded in several topographic lows, and as they cooled their upper crusts fractured, often in polygonal patterns. Today's featured image shows a set of crisply preserved polygonal fractures. Small chains of pit chains are also seen in conjunction with the fractures. Are these pits nascent fractures that never fully developed? Or perhaps partially collapsed tubes that melt flowed through? If the latter, might there be open passages that astronauts could venture into and explore? LROC WAC 100m/pixel mosaic around Tycho crater over-lain by WAC color coded DTM 500m/pixel (DLR, Germany).
