LibreOffice has an old compatibility issue (inherited from OpenOffice) with Microsoft Office related to text highlighting (character background). During document exchange between the two office suites text highlighting is changed on an unexpected way. The root of the problem is that LibreOffice (LO) and Microsoft Office (MSO) has a different design for character backgrounds and so it's ambiguous how to save LO character background to MSO file formats (ambiguous both to users and to developers). Now this issue is solved by allowing the users to specify the behavior of LO export.
Microsoft Word has a two-character-background concept. One attribute is called shading which lives on more levels of the document model: table cells, paragraphs and characters. With it we can add any background color to the selected object and we also can use it in a theme. The other one is called highlighting which offers a more limited color selection and is used on the analogy of highlighter pen to call attention to a portion of the document.
LibreOffice Writer, in the other hand, supports only one kind of character background which is called also as highlighting. This character background is closer to Word shading attribute, since it has a wider color selection and it's also a specialization of the general background attribute on the same way as shading in Word. An other similarity is that automatic font color interacts with character background in Writer and with shading in Word on a way to make text always visible (e.g. when background is dark then text color becomes white, when the background is light then text color changes to black). Word highlighting doesn't have this kind of behavior.
About Microsoft Word's concept
After I decided to fix this issue the first questions were: How useful is this two-character-background concept of Microsoft Office? Is this something which LibreOffice should support?
I've got the answer: It's not something that LibreOffice needs.
First of all I can't see a real difference between the usage of shading and highlighting in Word. I mean both have the purpose to make some parts of the text more visible (highlight them). Highlighting can be also used for reviewing a document (mark parts of a document temporarily), but both office suits have a Comments feature which includes an integrated highlighting function, which can be more useful for this purpose.
Additonally this concept also leads to misunderstandings among the users. At the first sight it can't be decided whether a highlighted text portion in a document is formatted actually with highlighting or with shading. This becomes worse because of that the highlighting feature is more accessible in some versions of Word and so it is more known by the users as shading which can make users confused when they get a document with character shading. As I see this was the main issue also in case of LibreOffice, because it exported character background as shading to MSO formats and so some of the users were not able to remove this shading in Word by using "Highlight" toolbar button.
Summary, as I see the two-character-background concept does not have a real benefit and also causes problems on the user side so it's not worth to have.
Export as highlighting or as shading
The second question was: How to export LO character background to MSO formats to make the users happy? MSO shading is closer to LO character background in behavior but at the same time highlighting is more accessible in Word and on Writer's user interface character background is called as highlighting. So both attribute can be a good candidate for export.
That's why it seemed the best to have an option to choose between shading and highlighting. I added this option at Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> Microsoft Office, with which user can specify the behavior of the export. The default became highlighting mainly because in LO character background is called highlighting and so users can expect they will get highlighting in their MSO document and not shading.
|New Microsoft Office compatibility option|
Import of Microsoft Word documents
So far I wrote only about the export of LO character background. The next question is how shading and highlighting are imported from MSO documents and how they saved back. I solved this on the way that both attributes are preserved by import so a Word document will have the same appearance in Writer. If this document is saved without modification, then shading and highlighting will be saved back unchanged.
The difference compared to Word becomes visible by editing. It doesn't matter whether a character background was shading or highlighting in the original document it can be edited by Highlighting toolbar button in Writer. From that point - after a specific text range's background is edited inside LibreOffice - MSO shading and highlighting markers will be removed and will be replaced with LO specific character background. So MSO attributes are preserved until the corresponding text range is edited by LibreOffice.
In the next LibreOffice release users will be able to customize their office suite on one more way by specifying how to export character background to Microsoft Word file formats. I think this is the best we can do here because of the design differences. Well, let's see what users say.

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

Preparing for the hearing
If you made a submission and indicated that you wished to speak to it, then make sure you reinforce your case by presenting to the hearing.
The hearing report
Before the hearing, Environment Southland compiled a hearing report – a 700-page document (called the section 42A report), which provides the Hearing Commissioners with a summary and analysis of submissions, and makes recommendations on possible amendments to the proposed plan.
The Hearing Commissioners don't have to agree with the recommendations contained in the s42A report, but it is still a useful tool to help understand how the submissions have affected council's thinking.
Can B+LNZ help me prepare for the hearing?
We ran eight workshops, to help farmers prepare. These covered:
- What you can expect at the hearing
- What makes a powerful farmer hearing statement
- How to gain traction with the decision makers
- A refresh on the key issues and a heads up on where council thinking is changing
- What to include in your hearing statement.
What if I missed the workshops?
The workshop resources included a booklet and videos, which you can download on this page. View the powerpoint presentation to pick up tips on how to be as effective as possible on the day.
Key areas to consider
We have created a summary of key areas you may which to address called "The Song Sheet". It covers:
- The policy/rule to consider
- What the notified plan said
- What B+LNZ submitted
- Environment Southland's recommendations to the hearing panel (s42A report)
- Some ideas for farmers to consider in their hearing statement
The eight key areas summarised in the song sheet are:
- Physiographic zones
- Pre-empting limit setting process
- Dairy conversion
- Intensive winter grazing
- Stock exclusion
- Cultivation setbacks
- Tile drains
- Farm Environment Plans

Indigenous population at risk from Taser rollout: academics
The continuing rollout of electric stun-guns to Australian police has raised concerns that Indigenous Australians will be over-represented as targets of the controversial technology.
Academics also say that research into the physical harm these weapons inflict is inadequate because the guns are tested on healthy people in controlled environments.
Front-line police officers in Western Australian and the Northern Territory are now being issued with the stun-guns, known as Tasers.
Tasers, which deliver up to 50,000-volt electrical pulses over five seconds to immobilise people, are also due to be introduced across Queensland police services from July.
In South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria, Tasers are restricted to use by special response teams.
The latest three jurisdictions to adopt the Tasers have Australia's highest Aboriginal populations.
Professor Chris Cunneen, a criminologist at the University of New South Wales, says Indigenous Australians are always over-represented as the victims of new public-order policing policy.
"We would expect that it will be Aboriginal people that [Tasers] are used against," said Professor Cunneen, from the university's law faculty.
Professor Cunneen says the introduction of capsicum spray is a good precedent for extrapolating the future use of Tasers.
"Capsicum spray was introduced in the framework that it would be used in exceptional circumstances," he said.
"But it has become relied on in a way that is more routine."
Professor Cunneen is also concerned the below-average health of many Indigenous Australians means a taser incident could take a greater toll.
"You would imagine the cardiovascular and health issues Aboriginal people face would raise concerns," he said.
"The testing [of Tasers] has been done on healthy people and in controlled environments. But that's not the way it's used."
He says safety procedures for less-than-lethal technologies often get "pushed by the wayside" in operational environments.
Associate Professor Jude McCulloch, a criminologist in the Faculty of Arts at Monash University, supports his view.
"Less-than-lethal technologies are used often disproportionately on marginalised and criminalised groups," she said.
"And in Australia that would be the Indigenous population."
She says the lack of research on Tasers' impact on victims in agitated or over-stimulated states means such targets are in effect "guinea pigs".
Professor McCulloch says new technologies, such as Tasers and capsicum spray, are often justified on "the basis they be used as an alternative to firearms".
"[But] we know from the US [the Taser] doesn't have an impact on the number of occasions when lethal force is used," she said.
Instead she says Tasers are often used to make suspects comply with a police order.
'Fill the gap'
One of Professor McCulloch's doctoral students is investigating Taser use in Australia and says she hopes this work will start to "fill the gap" in research.
She says there is little independent research into the electric stun-gun and that much US research is compromised by its relationship to manufacturers of the technology.
The lack of research into the effects of the stun-gun on people in agitated states was highlighted to police by an Australian researcher almost four years ago.
A 2004 paper commissioned by Victoria Police says Taser testing has been limited to "fit and healthy people with normal heart rate and blood pressure".
The manager of biomedical engineering at the Alfred Hospital, John Southwell, says the tests are not conclusive enough.
"None of the large-scale studies examines the effects on an aggravated/violent person who may have high heart rate and blood pressure conditions, abnormal heart conditions and/or low skin impedance due to high perspiration," he said.
Colonel Andy Mazzara, director of the US Institute for Non-Lethal Defense Technologies at Pennsylvania State University, says the effectiveness of Tasers makes them "extremely popular within the law enforcement community".
However, he says there is concern in the US about the number of Taser-associated deaths.
Colonel Mazzara says studies have been done recently or are underway to better understand the biological factors or mechanisms that might contribute to such deaths.
"Many times, the individual has been overweight, on drugs, or had a pre-existing medical condition," he said.
There have also been some so-called secondary-effect situations where a person might have fallen to the ground and hurt themselves.
In response to these concerns, the US National Institute of Justice has commissioned a study into the impact of "conducted energy devices" on in-custody deaths.
The two-year study is reviewing each US death reportedly due to a stun-gun, with interim findings due to be released later this month.

Yes, it is weighted average. However isn't there a special name for that when the number of parameters are increasing? I would say P(x), P(x,y) and P(x,y,z) doesn't have the same class. To me weighted average is more like $P(x)*k + P(y)*l + P(z)*m$ – Ali Ok Nov 23 '12 at 0:43

Prevent image to repeat itself, tiling or get stuck on scroll.
Are your images behaving strangely? Tiling, getting stuck or repeating on scroll?
Prevent image to repeat itself, tiling & get stuck on scroll.
Are you having problems with normal images repeating themselves, tiling, getting stuck and making strange lines all over your website when scrolling up and down? This might be because you have another background image set to repeat!? Follow these steps to prevent image to repeat itself, tiling or get stuck on scroll.
Steps to prevent image from repeat itself, tiling & getting stuck:
- Start by checking if this image problem is occurrin in every browser: Chrome / Safari, Explorer or Firefox. Good to know.
- Validate you code to make sure there are no obvious errors, for example unclosed elements or wrongly nested elements. Validate your website here: _URL_
- Correct all errors (if any) above.
- If you are floating elements or images, use class.clearfix to clear any floats after the element containing floats has ended. Clearfix CSS class might look something like this:
content: " ";
Simply add class.clearfix to any elements containing floats.
- Try to set the background to no-repeat on the element causing problems or the parent of the element causing problems.
- If none of the above works? Are you using several layers of background images on top of eachother? Some fixed, some repeated and so on. Try to remove the backgrounds one by one to see if this fixes the problem, or leads you in the right direction…
(Firefox browser have been having similar problems with images and icons tiling or repeating when this article is written)


Nature has ways of providing us with everything we need to sustain ourselves if modern society fails us. What sources of food would benefit us in the wild? We know we can eat deer, fish, or even squirrels, but can you eat a possum? Furthermore, if we can, what's the best way to prepare it and what other benefits can eating a possum offer us?
Let's find out.
Can Humans Eat Possums?
Yes, humans can eat possums as long you cook them the right way. Otherwise, you may face an issue worse than starvation due to the ailments possums might carry.
You should skin them to check for diseases these creatures might harbor. Otherwise, clean the meat, and you have yourself a decent meal in the forest when you have no other options.
People in New Zealand have eaten brushtail possums ever since their introduction to the country in 1837. These creatures became such a significant threat to the country's environment that citizens were encouraged to kill them. So, some decided that it would be efficient to eat them as well rather than wasting meat.
In the United States, we have the Virginia opossum. Many will also find this same species throughout Canada. However, humans can still eat these possums. As a matter of fact, as a child, Jimmy Carter ate a lot of them.
However, possums serve as an essential mediator in nature. These wild animals control local pests like mice in addition to insects. They also eat nearly anything from rotting fruit, to slugs, to cockroaches. Because they are immune to snake venom and scorpion stings, they are a great natural quality control for these dangers.
Because of this, I only recommend eating possums if you're in a dire situation.
What Does Possum Meat Taste Like?
While some say possums taste like a lamb, others state their taste depends on their food supply at the time.
If you have an opossum whose diet revolves around eggs, fruit, and bugs will have a more pleasant taste than eating one that has survived off of pet food or whatever's in the garbage cans.
If the possum ate garbage before you killed it, the meat's scent would be a dead giveaway. If it did eat trash, it doesn't mean it'll taste like it. The possum would likely have a greasy taste.
When you're in the wild and hunt a possum, you won't run into this problem. Wild possums generally feast on whatever they can find, including animals, plants, seeds, and insects.
Some people like to add garnishes to their possums. If you're in the woods, you likely won't have any on you. However, you can enhance the possum's flavor and transform it into a tastier meal with natural garnishes like wild thyme or rosemary.
Possum meat isn't gamey like other meat you'll find in the wild. It has a fair amount of protein and nutrients to keep you going whenever you don't have anything else to eat. Possum meat is a great source of Protein with around 241% of your daily value in one pound of meat. It also includes Niacin, Vitamin B6, Iron, Phosphorus and Selenium, and provides a high amount of Vitamin B12.
Possum meat is low in sodium, but does contain quite a bit of cholesterol.
What Diseases Can You Get From a Possum?
The primary disease to watch out for when eating possums is tuberculosis (TB). Moreover, opossums potentially carry other diseases they pick up from eating insects like ticks and other parasites, however opossums are generally resistant to many diseases.
You can determine whether a possum has TB by skinning them and observing their groin and underarm glands. If you notice them swelling into large abscesses identical to a golf ball, then the opossum isn't safe to eat.
Fortunately, possums are resistant to rabies. This is because their body temperatures are too low to host the rabies virus. It is also rare that they contract Lyme disease from tick bites. Keep in mind that even if they're drooling and hissing at you, it's just a part of their self-defense arsenal to ward off predators.
How Do You Cook Possum?
To properly cook a possum to avoid eating unclean meat, you'll want to follow these steps:
 - Skin it to see whether they have any diseases and to rid the animal of any lice or fleas.
 - Hang it from a tree, cut its throat, and let its blood drain.
 - Remove its organs and bury them underground to avoid attracting predators.
 - Rinse the opossum meat inside and out.
 - Jab your possum with a giant stick and hover it over a campfire. Hold and rotate once in a while until your opossum's crispy like chicken.
If you're backpacking and have an extra cooking pot, cooking possums can also be achieved by throwing your meat into the pot, fill it with a bit of water, and stew your opossum for about an hour.
It is essential to thoroughly cook the meat. If you eat undercooked meat, you can risk getting sick which could eventually lead to severe consequences in the wild.
When stewing, the possum's fat will mix with the water, making for a tasty possum gravy.
If you happen to have extra spices like pepper in your bag that were intended for recipes before you ran out of food, add it to the crisp or stewed possum. That way, you'll get a little more kick from your meat.
Unfortunately, you're not likely going to have your pressure cooker when in the woods for an exquisite opossum meal. So, you're going to have to eat possums like European settlers.
How Do You Kill a Possum Quickly?
The best way to kill a possum quickly is with a shotgun or pistol to end its life in the most humane way possible. Otherwise, if you don't have a gun on you, opt for trapping it instead.
If there's any intention of eating the possum, do not poison it because that almost guarantees you would ingest the same poison.
If you decide to trap it, these critters are generally unaware of their surroundings and are easy to catch. If you happen to have a cage trap on you, set bait inside the cage. Some bait the possum would go for, like fruit, marshmallows, or cat food—if you happen to have any for some reason.
If there's no cage in your bag, but there is a net, use it to catch the possum if you find it trapped.
There aren't any specific laws in the United States that state opossums are protected. Moreover, there are open seasons for trapping and hunting these animals.
However, some areas forbid you from handling possums yourself. Rangers would kill the possum by using carbon dioxide so research state and local wildlife laws before trapping and hunting possums.
Humans can eat possums under the right circumstances. Ensure you check the critter for tuberculosis before cleaning and cooking it. Otherwise, for the most part, it's safe to eat these creatures. If you decide to kill possums, either trap them or shoot them to end its life quickly.
Whether you're lost in the woods or are running out of food, possums make for an excellent protein source. One that'll also fill your belly and give you enough energy to do whatever you need.

How to Make Clay Bricks and Tiles
Testing of Soil for Brick-Making:
 1. Get a handful of soil and add enough water to make it sticky.
 2. Mold it into balls and dry under the sun for 2 to 4 days.
 3. See whether the dried soil cracked or not. If it remains firm and hard the soil is clay.
 4. Test another one with this procedure.
Conduct another test by molding 4″ x 10″ x 2″ and burn with rice husk for one week. Good clay when dried by this method will sound metallic when tapped.
There are three (3) types of manufacturing methods for bricks:
 1. Soft-mud
 2. Soft-mud with repressing machine
 3. Mechanical method
Methods 1 and 2 are most suited for cottage industry. They are manually generated and require only a small capital.
Method 3 used machines for raw material processing and farming. Even if most of the machine can be made it still needs a big capital investment.
 1. Raw clay is left in the open for stock piling with a duration of about two (2) months or until the clay disintegrates through the action of sun and rain.
 2. The disintegrated clay is brought to the processing area. Sandy clay, plastic clay and sand are mixed in their proper proportions. Water is added to combine clay mixture.
 3. Knead either by hand or foot for about three (3) hours.
 4. After kneading, the clay should be aged for two (2) days to get a homogeneous mixture. Aging distributes its workability and lessening the possibility of cracking during drying and firing.
 5. Form the clay into a wooden mold.
 6. The formed bricks from the mold are then placed on a pallet and allowed to dry to leather hardness for not more than two (2) days.
 7. The leather hard bricks are retouched to remove the finger marks and scratches due to forming and handling. The retouching work can either be done by skillful hand manipulation or by machine for better and faster finishing.
 8. Retouched bricks are kept in the drying area until they are completely and uniformly dried. The drying takes about two (2) weeks during dry season and four (4) weeks on a rainy season.
 9. When dried, put the clay in improvised kiln. Arrange them loosely and pour rice hulls in between the spaces.
 10. Set fire from the bottom. Baking process takes one week.
Materials: clay, sand, water
Tools: shovel, hoe, pickax, strainer, wire #14, wooden scraper, wooden molds 10″ x5″ x12½", gas oven
 1. Dig soil, remove stones and waste with the use of strainer.
 2. Mix with: 25% water (1 part water in 4 parts of soil) and 10% sand (10 parts of sand in 10 parts of clay). Mix well.
 3. Put in molds, scrape excess.
 4. Remove molds and let dry bricks within 3 to 4 weeks at room temperature.
 5. Invert brick so it would not crack or form wrinkles.
 6. Preheat gas oven for 2 hours at 980°C.
 7. Arrange bricks alternately
 8. Bake for 16 hours.
 9. Cool before use.

(Converting Lat/Long to km)
Newer edit →
Revision as of 21:54, 17 October 2012
This is a little piece of code I always have to go look for in my computer for converting geographic coordinates to kilometers. It takes a vector of longitudes (Long) and latitudes (Lat) and returns a projection of those points (x.km and y.km) around their mean in kilometers.
 x0 <- mean(range(Long))
 y0 <- mean(range(Lat))
 rx <- 6371 * acos(sin(y0*pi/180)^2 + cos(y0*pi/180)^2 * cos((x0+.5)*pi/180 - (x0-.5)*pi/180))
 ry <- 6371 * acos(sin((y0-.5)*pi/180) * sin((y0+.5)*pi/180) + cos((y0-.5)*pi/180) * cos((y0+.5)*pi/180))
 x.km <-(Long-x0)*rx
 y.km <-(Lat-y0)*ry
Note that there are, probably, a dozen little functions that do this in different geographic packages on-line. This does a good enough job. The 6371 is the'mean' radius of the earth, which ranges from 6357 at the poles to 6378 at the equator. You could presumably make things more accurate by modeling the radius as a function of latitude, but are unlikely to improve your precision by more than (6378 - 6357)/6378 = 0.3%.

Import Coinbase Data to Google Sheets
In this guide, we'll walk through how to pull cryptocurrency market data from the Coinbase Digital Currency API directly into Google Sheets, using the API Connector add-on for Sheets.
Coinbase doesn't provide that much data via these endpoints (other crypto APIs are generally better in that respect), but it is easy to use and useful for getting a comprehensive list of exchange rates in one go.
This article also includes a template to access private account data.
- Before You Begin
- Part 1: Create your API Request URL
- Part 2: Pull Coinbase API Data into Sheets
- Part 3: More Example Coinbase API URLs
- Part 4: Get Private Coinbase Account Data
- Part 5: API Documentation
Before You Begin
Click here to install the API Connector add-on from the Google Marketplace.
Part 1: Create Your Coinbase API Request URL
We'll first access the latest exchange rate data for Bitcoin.
- API root: _URL_
- Endpoint: /v2/exchange-rates
- Query String:?symbol=BTC
Putting it together, we get the full API Request URL:
Part 2: Pull Coinbase API Data into Sheets
Now let's get that data into Sheets.
- Open up Google Sheets and click Extensions > API Connector > Open.
- In the Create tab, enter the API URL we just created.
- Leave the OAuth and Headers sections empty. The market data part of the Coinbase API is public, so we don't need any headers or other authentication.
- Create a new tab, and click Set current to use that tab as your data destination.
- Name your request, and click Run. A moment later you'll see the latest exchange rate data for Bitcoin appear in your Google Sheet:
- If you'd like to see the data in columns instead of rows, create a second sheet and include the Sheets function
- If you only need some of those exchange rates, hit Edit Fields before running your request, and select just the fields you want to see in your sheet.
Part 3: More Example API URLs
Experiment with endpoints and query strings as described in the documentation to see other types of currency and crypto data from the API. For example, you can try the following URLs, one at a time (substitute in other currency symbols or dates, if you like).
- list of all currencies and corresponding symbols
- current spot price of any currency pair (the spot price is usually between the buy and sell price)
- historical price snapshot of currency pair at a specified date
Part 4: Get Private Coinbase Account Data
The above endpoints deal with public market data from the Coinbase API.
If you are instead a Coinbase customer looking to get API data from your own account, they require a more complex authentication process that includes generating a "signature".
To access your private account data, please copy this sheet and follow the instructions within.

If you've done a dab, you've been there. You hit the concentrate and inhale that sweet, potent, goodness and your lungs decide it's a great time to try and jump out of your throat. So you're sitting there, hacking up a lung with your eyes watering, wondering how you can prevent this in the future. There are actually ways to control coughing after you dab. In theory, this could also apply to smoking as well, but here are 5 things I've found helpful to control coughing.
1. Always have something to drink handy
Cannabis is a throat irritant when inhaled and an irritated throat is one of the main reasons people cough. Your body is trying to expel whatever it thinks is making your throat feel weird. So, to solve this, have a drink handy. Water and tea are especially helpful for calming down a coughing fit. Just take a sip right after you exhale. Some people even suggest taking a sip while you hold the vapor. It sounds messy, but I bet if you could master it it'd be helpful.
2. Deep Breaths
If I know I'm about to take a giant glob, I take a couple of deep breaths before I do it. I release all the air from my lungs and then refill them, repeating the process until I inhale my hit. Taking those deep breaths allowed my lungs to expand some to prepare for the deep breath I was about to take. Since my lungs could then accommodate it, I find myself exhaling normally more than actually coughing.
3. Dab more, but in smaller amounts
This one is two fold. If you want to avoid coughing, dab more. I know that seems counterintuitive, but since concentrated cannabis is a throat irritant, smoking more of it would help your body group a resistance to the irritating effects. The second part, dabbing smaller amounts, is equally as important. Dabbing is not a contest about who could take more. You end up wasting concentrate like that. Dabbing a smaller amount means there's less vapor to make you cough. You may even get more high because you're able to properly take the hit with smaller amounts.
4. Cool down your dabs
In order for you to take dabs with a rig, the heating of the nail is crucial. The downside to this, however, is the heat is also a throat irritant. If the dabs come off of the nail a little cooler, they may not irritate your throat as much. You could possibly even consider moving from a titanium nail to a lower heat nail like quartz or ceramic.
Dab on!

Species object
Options for compartment species
The SimBiology® species object represents a species, which is a chemical or entity that participates in reactions, for example, DNA, ATP, Pi, creatine, G-Protein, or Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK). Species amounts can vary or remain constant during a simulation.
To add species that participate in reactions, add the reaction to the model. The process of adding the reaction to the model creates a compartment object (unnamed) and the necessary species objects.
Alternatively, create and add a species object to a compartment object, using the addspecies method at the command line.
When you use the SimBiology desktop to create a new model, it adds an empty compartment (unnamed), to which you can add species.
See Property Summary for links to species property reference pages. Properties define the characteristics of an object. Use the get and set commands to list object properties and change their values at the command line. You can graphically change object properties in the graphical user interface.

Effective January 1, 2022, the federal Budget 2021 announced the government's plans to implement a national, annual one-per-cent tax on the value of non-resident, non-Canadian owned residential real estate that's vacant or underused.
The government is finalizing draft legislation for the proposed underused housing tax (UHT). They're releasing a draft later this year and will include the final legislation in a bill introduced in Parliament sometime in 2022.
Who would pay the UHT?
If passed, the UHT will apply to an owner of residential property in Canada as of December 31 of the calendar year if:
- the owner is required to file an annual declaration for the calendar year; and
- the owner doesn't qualify for an exemption.
Calculating the tax
The UHT is calculated by multiplying the specified value of the property by the one-per-cent rate of the UHT.
An owner would be liable for the UHT in proportion to their "interest" in the property.
What's residential property under the UHT?
Residential property would include:
- detached homes, duplexes, and triplexes;
- semi-detached homes, row-house units, residential condominium units, and other similar premises that is, or is intended to be, a separate parcel or other division of real property owned, or intended to be owned, apart from any other unit in a building; and
- together with any common areas and other appurtenances and the subjacent and immediately contiguous land reasonably necessary for the use and enjoyment as a place of residence for individuals.
Who's an owner of residential property under the UHT?
If a residential property has a single owner, the owner pays the tax.
If a residential property has multiple owners:
- if property is held by owners as joint tenants, each owner will have an equal interest in the property; and
- if the property is held by owners as tenants-in-common:
-if each owner's interest is specified on any instrument evidencing ownership, each owner would be regarded as having that specified interest, and
-otherwise, each owner would be regarded as having an equal interest in the property.
Every owner of a residential property, other than an excluded owner, would be required to file an annual declaration with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for each residential property they own on or before April 30 of the following calendar year.
An owner's declaration for the 2022 calendar year would be required to be filed on or before April 30, 2023.
To file a declaration with the CRA, certain owners may need to pre-register with the CRA in advance of filing their declaration.
Excluded owners include, as of December 31 of the calendar year:
- an individual who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, except where the individual holds an interest in property.
-as a partner of a partnership, or
-as a trustee of a trust, but not including a personal representative of a deceased individual or the estate of a deceased individual;
- a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada or a province and the shares of which are listed on a Canadian stock exchange;
- a registered charity;
- a cooperative housing corporation;
- an Indigenous governing body or a corporation owned by an Indigenous governing body;
- a municipality or a corporation owned by a municipality;
- the government of Canada or an agent of the Government of Canada;
- the government of a province or an agent of the government of a province; and
- other public service bodies such as universities, public colleges, school authorities, and hospital authorities.
An owner of a residential property must report in their declaration:
- the calendar year to which the declaration relates;
- the civic address of the property and other property-related information;
- the legal name of the owner;
- contact information of the owner;
- the type of owner (individual other than as a partner of a partnership or trustee of a trust, corporation, partner of a partnership, trustee of a trust;
- the owner's interest in the property (as a percentage), and if the interest is less than 100 per cent:
- the form of ownership (i.e., joint tenants, tenants-in-common), and
- the names of any other owners of the property having an interest in the property of 10 per cent or more;
- the residential property type (detached, semi-detached, row-house, condominium unit, duplex, triplex;
- the value of the property and how it was determined; and
- any exemptions and information related to any exemptions.
There are exemptions for:
- an owner or a qualifying occupant who occupies the home in periods of at least one month that total at least six months of the year. A qualifying occupant includes the owner's spouse, child or parent;
- held by a partner of specified Canadian partnership;
- held by a trustee of specified Canadian trust;
- property not suitable for year-round use;
- property uninhabitable due to a disaster or hazardous conditions;
- property undergoing major renovations;
- for the year of acquisition of an interest in a property;
- for an owner with at least a 25 per cent interest in the property who dies, for the calendar year in which the death occurs;
- newly constructed property in the calendar year of construction; and
- new property held by a developer as inventory for sale.
Payment due date
Payment will be remitted to the CRA on or before April 30 of the following calendar year.
An owner of residential property required to file a declaration, who fails to file by April 30 of the following calendar year will face a penalty of:
- $5,000, if the owner is an individual; or
- $10,000 if the owner is not an individual.

First focal plane (FFP) refers to the placement of the reticle in a rifle scope. In an FFP optic, the reticle is in the front part of the optical system, near the objective lens. The reticle's size changes with the scope's magnification. This allows for accurate range estimation at any setting.
Let's take a look at the history of FFP optics, who makes them now, examples of current optics, pros & cons, FFP vs SFP, and price ranges.
The History of First Focal Plane Optics
The history of FFP optics began in WWII. Military snipers started using telescopic sights to engage long-range targets. To improve range estimation accuracy, military optics manufacturers experimented with different reticle placements. They eventually settled on FFP design.
During WWII, the use of scopes on military rifles became widespread. They allowed snipers to engage targets at longer ranges with greater accuracy. However, early telescopic sights had a challenge. The reticle remained a constant size, regardless of the magnification setting.
This made it difficult to accurately estimate the range to the target. The size of the target would change with the magnification, but the size of the reticle would not.
Military optics manufacturers began experimenting with different reticle placements. One solution was to place the reticle in the front part of the system, near the objective lens. This caused the reticle's size to change with the target's size at any magnification.
Easier range estimation and better aiming accuracy were the result.
Boom. First focal plane optics were born.
These new optics helped snipers adjust their aim faster. The holdover points on the reticle were now more accurate. This allowed wind and bullet drop compensation at longer distances.
Military snipers made the FFP design popular. It soon became the standard for long-range shooting.
FFP Optics are still popular with military, tactical shooters, hunters and competitive shooters.
Who Makes First Focal Plane Scopes?
There are several manufacturers of first focal plane (FFP) optics, including:
Many different companies design and manufacture FFP optics. These companies offer products ranging from low-cost, affordable optics to high-end, precision optics.
Designing and making these optics is a difficult and skilled process. It requires expertise in a range of fields including optics, engineering, and manufacturing.
FFP optics manufacturers design the housing and lens system to precise tolerances.
This aligns the reticle in the optical system. Reticle designers consider reticle visibility at different magnification levels. They also consider how the reticle's placement affects its appearance and use. A well designed reticle provides accurate and useful information to the shooter.
Once the entire optic design is complete, then the manufacturing process can start. This usually includes machining, assembling, and checking the quality of the optic. Each controlled step makes sure the final product meets high standards. This process takes a long time and requires a lot of work. This is why FFP optics are often more expensive than SFP optics.
Designing and making FFP optics requires skill, knowledge, and precision manufacturing. This leads to optics that provide accurate range estimation at any magnification setting.
Examples of First Focal Plane Scopes
Some examples of first focal plane (FFP) optics include
Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50 FFP rifle scope
Trijicon AccuPower 1-8×28 FFP rifle scope
Nightforce ATACR 7-35×56 FFP rifle scope
These are just a few examples of FFP optics available on the market. There are many other manufacturers and models of FFP optics available, each with its own unique features and capabilities.
Pros & Cons of FFP Optics
Pros of FFP optics:
Reticle size changes with magnification, allowing accurate range estimation at any setting
Holdover points on the reticle help compensate for bullet drop at longer distances
Reticle stays the same size relative to the target, making it easier to make quick adjustments to aim
FFP optics allow for the use of ranging reticles, which can be used to estimate the range to the target
Cons of FFP optics:
Reticle can appear distorted at low magnification settings, making it difficult to see or use
FFP optics are often more expensive than second focal plane (SFP) optics
The reticle can appear cluttered or busy at high magnification settings, making it difficult to use
The reticle may be difficult to see in low light conditions, especially at low magnification settings.
First Focal Plane (FFP) vs Second Focal Plane (SFP)
First focal plane (FFP) optics and second focal plane (SFP) optics are two different types of rifle scopes. Each has its own unique features and capabilities.
Reticle & Crosshairs Comparison
One key difference between FFP and SFP optics is the placement of the reticle, or crosshairs.
FFP optics place the reticle in the front part of the optical system, near the objective lens. This allows the reticle to change size with magnification, as we've already discussed.
SFP optics place the reticle in the rear part of the optical system, near the eyepiece. Reticle size stays the same, regardless of magnification settings.
Holdover Points Comparison
Another difference between FFP and SFP optics is the use of holdover points on the reticle. In an FFP optic, the reticle can be designed with holdover points, which can be used to compensate for bullet drop at longer distances. Because the reticle size changes with the magnification, the holdover points will remain accurate at any magnification setting. In an SFP optic, the reticle does not change size, so holdover points are not as useful.
Additionally, FFP optics are often more expensive than SFP optics, as the manufacturing process is more complex. This can be a consideration when choosing between FFP and SFP optics.
What's the price range of First Focal Plane Scopes?
The price range of first focal plane (FFP) optics can vary widely, depending on the quality and features of the optic. Budget-friendly FFP optics can be found for under $100, while high-end, precision optics can cost $3,000 and up.
One factor that can affect the price of FFP optics is the manufacturer. Some of the top gun scope manufacturers, such as Vortex, Trijicon, and Nightforce, offer a range of FFP optics at different price points. These companies generally produce high-quality optics, but their top-of-the-line models can be quite expensive.
Another factor that can affect the price of FFP optics is the quality of the lens and housing. Higher-quality optics will typically use high-grade lenses and precision-machined housings, which can add to the cost of the optic. Additionally, features like illuminated reticles and variable magnification can also affect the price.
Overall, the price range of FFP optics can vary widely, from budget-friendly options to high-end, precision optics. When shopping for an FFP optic, it is important to consider the intended use and the specific features and capabilities of the optic, as well as the price.

A major challenge in high-resolution x-ray free-electron laser-based coherent diffractive imaging is the development of aerosol injectors that can efficiently deliver particles to the peak intensity of the focused X-ray beam. Here, we consider the use of a simple convergent-orifice nozzle for producing tightly focused beams of particles. Through optical imaging we show that 0.5 μm particles can be focused to a full-width at half maximum diameter of 4.2 μm, and we demonstrate the use of such a nozzle for injecting viruses into a micro-focused soft-X-ray FEL beam.

Do marble fireplace stain when used with gas fires?
December 15, 2010
Marble fireplaces will not typically stain when they are used with any gas fire. Marble is a popous material, however it has been used in fireplaces for many centuries.
What would make a marble fireplace stain?
1. If a gas fire causes the marble to change colour then there is usually excessive heat behind the back panel that is burning the marble. This is typically caused by an over sized builders opening. The cut out in a marble back panel is usually 16.25 inches (wide) x 22.25 inches (high). If the builders opening (opening in chimney) is much larger and has not been correctly installed then the heat behind the back panel can cause an air pocket and cause the marble to stain or change colour.
2. Marble will stain if any bleach products are applied to the surface of the stone. The polish of a marble fireplace is affected by bleach which causes irreversable staining.
3. Some harsh household multi cleaners can cause the surface of the marble to change colour as they contain strong detergents and colours. Similar discolouration would also occur on natural wood furniture.

Although the spectral effects of direct and diffuse radiation on solar photovoltaic (PV) performance are relatively well understood, recent investigations have shown that there can be a spectral bias introduced due to albedo from common ground surfaces that can impact the optimal selection of PV materials for a known location. This paper extends analysis to the effects of spectral bias due to the specular reflectivity of 22 commonly occurring surface materials (both man-made and natural) and analyzes the albedo effects on the performance of seven PV materials covering three common PV system topologies: industrial (solar farms), commercial flat rooftops and residential pitched roof applications. An effective albedo is found for each surface material and PV material combination, which can be used in lieu of broadband albedo values in PV simulations. These results enable PV material selection for specific environments enabling geographic optimization for the micro-environment, while at the same time assisting optimal surface selection in the vicinity of existing or planned PV arrays. This analysis is of particular significance for the modeling of performance of bi-facial PV modules and vertical BIPV.

Geert Jan Jansen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Geert Jan Jansen (born 1943) is a Dutch painter and art forger, who was arrested in 1994.
Geert Jan Jansen was born in Waalre in the Netherlands. His engineer father was fond of art and Jansen became an art student. He befriended a US art dealer, Michel Podulke, who ran a gallery called Mokum in Amsterdam.
Later, Jansen opened his own galleries, Jacob and Raam, but was not particularly successful. When his business went badly, he decided to sign posters of Karel Appel's lithographs and sell them as originals. Later, he made his first Karel Appel forgery and sold it for 2,600 guilders. Thus encouraged, he sent another forgery to London; auction house sent a photograph to Appel, who stated that it was genuine. The gouache was sold at a record price.
In 1981, Dutch police were informed about a forged Bart van der Leck painting. They searched Jansen's house in Edam but found nothing. They did find 76 forged Appel lithographs in the ceiling of a local warehouse, but charges were not pressed. Short of evidence, the attorney general cut a deal with Jansen: He would not be charged if he would not make forgeries for three years.
In 1988, Jansen released another batch of Appel paintings. When they were found to be forgeries, gallery owners blamed each other. In June 1988, police confiscated hundreds of Appel forgeries from the MAT gallery in Amsterdam. The owner of the gallery said that he had bought 100 Appel forgeries from the Tripple Tree Gallery, who had bought them from a dealer Henk Ernste in Paris. Ernste was later arrested but the case was settled with a 5.5 million guilder fine. During the furor, Jansen moved from the Netherlands to France with his mistress.
In March 1994, "Jan van den Bergen" came to the auction house Karl & Faber in Munich. He claimed to be an art dealer from Orléans and presented his business card. With him he had a Chagall drawing, an Asger Jorn gouache and a Karel Appel painting. The first two had written certificates of authenticity. He wanted them to be auctioned quickly and left in a hurry.
Expert Sue Cubitt of the auction house had the works examined. The Chagall certificate had a misprint and she became suspicious. Jan Nieuwenhuizen Segaar, a representative of Karel Appel, contacted the artist who said that work was his but Cubitt was still suspicious. The Chagall committee in Paris verified that the certificate was a forgery and therefore the drawing was also a forgery. A similar thing happened with the Asger Jorn certificate. The auction house decided to withdraw all the works from sale because it could not guarantee their authenticity. Sue Cubitt decided to inform Ernst Schöller of the Stuttgart Fine Art and Antiquities squad.
When Sue Cubitt and the police checked other auction catalogues, they noticed that similar works of art had been offered for sale and discovered Van den Bergen had offered these and other works for sale in auction houses around Europe. When Schöller checked the Orléans gallery address, he found that it was a fake; there was a wine bottle company at that address.
The trail of false addresses companies led Schöller and the French police to a farm in La Chaux near Poitiers. Jansen - who had used the name Van den Bergen - and his associate were arrested May 6, 1994.
When police investigated the farm, they found 1600 forged artworks. Forged artists included Cocteau, Dufy, Ferdinand Erfmann, Charles Eyck, Leo Gestel, Bart van der Leck, Matisse, Miró and the most popular target of forgery, Picasso.
French police had few leads and their appeal through the media brought no reports of forgery. Six years later, they checked the auction records of a Drouot gallery where Jansen had traded most of his forgeries through a number of different false names. They confiscated some suspicious paintings and threatened their buyers with complicity in the crime if they did not press charges against Jansen.
Jansen went on trial in September 2000 in Orléans. By that time, the police had thousands of forgeries. During the trial Jansen's lawyer demanded that the works not to be destroyed in case there were real works among them. However, most of the charges were later dropped - two of the buyers disappeared - and only two remained.
Eventually Jansen was sentenced to one year imprisonment and four additional years suspended sentence. He was exiled from France for three years. All of his works were to be destroyed. Jansen planned to appeal.

Difference Between Flours
The difference between plain and self-raising flour
Have you ever thought what is the difference between plain flour and self-raising flour?
As flour is an integral part of the baking process, we think it is very important to get right.
Plain flour, also known as all-purpose flour, has about 75% of the wheat grain, with most of the bran and wheat germ taken out. Commonly used for cakes, pastries and biscuits. This can also be accompanied with a rising agent, like baking powder and bicarbonate of soda to help with the rising process.
Self-raising flour however has a rising agent, and can contain salt, which has already been added. Whereas the plain requires these rising agents to added separately to make the cakes rise.
So, can you switch plain flour for self-raising flour within a recipe?
Unfortunately, you should not really switch the two, as it is important to remember that these two different ingredients are not interchangeable and you should use the flour the recipe states.
How much raising agent is actually in self-raising flour?
As self-raising flour is still just plain flour which had had the rising agents added to it, the amount of rising agent is the same as half a teaspoon of baking powder per 100g of plain flour.
We use self-raising flour within our cake just to ensure that each cake mix contains the perfect mix of flour and rising agents. To make sure that all Sponges rise perfectly! Our self-raising wheat flour contains sodium bicarbonate in order for the Sponges to rise!
We need all our sponges to contain the same quantity of rising agents, for them to rise the right amount. This is why we use self-raising flour that already has the rising agents within the flour, for it to remain consistent.
Gluten Free Flours
To make our extraordinary Gluten Free Sponge Cakes we use special Gluten Free Self-raising flour, which is made out of rice, potato, tapioca, maize and buckwheat. For our Gluten Free Sponges, we use self-raising flour as well to ensure that they rise as well as our regular sponges.
We use high quality self-raising flour within all of our cakes to ensure they cook to our high standards. As well as all British ingredients, and supporting other British companies.
As for our Vegan Sponges we use the same Self raising flour as for our normal sponge cake recipes but using soya the plant based milk.
What's the difference between flour and corn flour?
All-purpose flour (or plain flour) has a slightly finer texture than corn flour. Corn flour can be coarser, and it behaves differently than all-purpose flour, as it is more absorbent. You can use corn flour in baking (it could be a great alternative for a gluten free bake, as it's naturally gluten-free), but you need to approach it with some knowledge about how it works. You'll need to increase the amount of liquid in a recipe, such as milk or water, to compensate for the absorbency. This will help reduce the risk that your baked item will be dry or dense.
Another pro for cornflour is that it's lighter and sweeter, so it provides a different flavour profile and texture to all-purpose flour. So, it could be one to consider when you're looking for an alternative flour.
What's the difference between cornstarch and corn flour?
So, let's start with the obvious, most people don't really know the difference between the two because they both do derive from corn. The key differences are in their nutrient profiles and uses. Cornstarch (as in its name) is a 'starchy' gluten free flour, whereas corn flour is a 'protein' gluten free flour.
Typically, cornstarch is a very fine white powder, that has a chalky appearance, and is more often used as a thickening agent to thicken sauces like roux's and custard. It's obtained by extracting the starch from the endosperm of the corn kernel.
Corn flour, however, is made using the entirety of dried corn kernels, and they are processed into a fine powder. It contains fibre, protein, and a small amount of fat, as well as the starch. This can be used for a variety of cooking recipes, and as mentioned above can be used as a gluten-free alternative to other standard flours.
Check the date!
Make sure when you are baking yourself at home, that you check the expiration date of the flour which you are using especially when you are using self-raising flour. If your self-raising flour is out of date then your sponge may not rise properly! As it is know that plain flour has a generally longer self-life than self raising flour, due to the fact it does not have rising agents which expire.
We get through so much self-raising flour, there is not an issue with making sure that we use it up in time, therefore we prefer to use self-raising flour.

What are Mind Machines / Light and Sound Machines?
There are many names for this technology:
- Audio-visual stimulation devices
- Light and sound entrainment devices (SLEDs)
- Mind machines
Essentially it is a tiny low spec computer that controls signals to your light glasses and your headphones. Simply select a session (depending on what you want to achieve) and then put on the glasses and heaphones.
History of mind machines
The first concepts were born in the late 1940s by Gray Walter. he noticed that flashing lights caused the human brain to follow the frequencies of these flashing lights.
Following from this discovery, numerous machines were developed for brainwave entrainment. A majority included tiny lights mounted in a pair of spectacles.
As time went by, audio began to be introduced in much the same. Usually achieved by using the 'binaural beat' phenomenom. Binaural beats are where one beat is played in one ear, and a second, very slightly later, in the second ear. Simultaneously, the two beats would cause the brain to interprwet just the difference in timing between the tow, and would then follow that frequency.
 The combined effects of having both the photic and the auditory portions of the brain stimulated in synchrony was found to be profound.
Today, SLEDs are used by psychologists and hypnotherapists in their practices and now also by non-professionals for helping achieve relaxation, stress management, Insomnia, mind expansion, accelerated learning and retention, breaking limiting beliefs, phobias, anxiety, sports training, and promoting physical wellness.
What's usually included with mind machines
A typical system consists of the micro-processor driven base unit, stereo headphones, and light glasses that have 8 tiny lights (LEDs). They can be 1 channel which means one colour glasses or two channel where you can enjoy a combination of any two colours. They usually have the capability to respond to Audiostrobe signals like from the Audiostrobe cds.

It is intended for use in the early design phase of a building to inform architects and engineers about the impact of various design choices on daylight performance. With Daylight Visualizer you can take more informed decisions about daylight performance in your architectural design:
- it calculates the amount of daylight that will be available inside a building space
- it can be used to optimise the daylight situation, for instance in a refurbishment project
- it visualises the appearance of daylight with photo-realistic images, quantifies the amount and distribution of daylight with false color images
- it visualises how daylight situation is perceived under different CIE (The International Commission on Illumination - the Commission Internationale de
l'Eclairage) sky conditions.


[nvda] Re: nvda and internet
It should be noted that insert f1 places you in a key describer function. Press any key or combination of keys and you will hear a brief description of the command, if any. If no command corresponds to the key or combination, you may simply hear something like the letter or number spoken. You probably have to be in the program you want to work with for program specific commands to be announced. Just systematically going through different combinations, such as insert and each letter or function key or number key will teach you a lot. Or in some programs such as Internet Explorer, just pressing every letter of the alphabet will teach you a lot. From the little playing around I've done, it appears that the key describer will only announce commands that are specific to NVDA. For example, pressing tab while in Internet Explorer won't tell you anything. this is an Internet Explorer command. Typing the letter k will tell you something because that is a command in NVDA.

I am looking for some help on rk4 and coulomb repulsion.
It is a technical question but one has to go through the story to understand what I am tyring to achieve. Thank you already.
I am trying to simulate the Coulomb repulsion between charged particles. I am using RK4 to do this which requires a function. The physics formula of the function is:
dx/dt = k*qi*(xi-xj)/sqrt((xi-xj)^2+(yi-yj)^2+(zi-zj)^2)
where qi is the charge of the i-th particle, xi, yi, zi are the
coordinates of the i-th particle and xj, yj,zj are the coordinates of the j-th
As an input for the initial values of the positions and charge for each particle, I am using arrays (currently only for 4 particles):
q[4] = { 1.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0 } charge
x0[4] = { 1.0, 2.3, 3.2, 4.0 } init posn x
y0[4] = { 1.0, 2.4, 3.0, 4.0 } init posn y
z0[4] = { 1.0, 2.5, 3.3, 4.2 } init posn z
and by using two "for" loops I can loop through each particle and compute the value of the total effect of all the particles on eachother. My question is: since there are two values for each coordinate (i and j), how can I write the function in an acceptable form for RK4?
I did try the following:
int func (double t, const double y[], double f[], void *params){
 double mu = *(double *)params;
 double dx = (y[0]-y[1])/r;
 double dy = (y[2]-y[3])/r;
 double dz = (y[4]-y[5])/r;
 f[0] = mu*y[6]*dx/(r*r);
 f[1] = mu*y[6]*dy/(r*r);
 f[2] = mu*y[6]*dz/(r*r);
 return GSL_SUCCESS;
however, I am not convinced this is correct (at all).
I would appreciate any feedback.

Differential pressure is defined as the change in pressure of a liquid when it is flowing through a pipe. Here is the online differential pressure measurement calculator to calculate the differential pressure for the given liquid flow. The measurement of differential pressure depends upon the change in pressure, pipe diameter, fluid density and the mass flow rate of the liquid.
Result :
Measure the differential pressure of liquid using this online differential pressure measurement calculator. Differential pressure of a liquid is the difference in pressure between two pressure points in a processing system. The differential pressure gauge is a tool which measures and illustrates the pressure difference.


Lightstep accepts Prometheus Counters, Gauges, and Histograms through the OpenTelemetry Collector or the Prometheus Sidecar. However, there may be differences in how these metric instruments and measurements are displayed in Lightstep as opposed to Prometheus. This document collects these differences for reference.
Prometheus Cumulative Counters
Lightstep accepts a Counter, but for technical and philosophical reasons, we do not provide the underlying cumulative count to our graphs and instead plot them as deltas. The resolution of these deltas varies based on the age of the data - for example, 45 second buckets for data recorded in the past hour, 2 minute buckets for data recorded between one and four hours ago, and so forth.
For an example of how this might manifest, consider the promhttp_metric_handler_requests_total counter that Prometheus exposes for itself (at the /metrics endpoint). Assuming a regular scape cadence of 1 scrape per 10 seconds, graphing this metric in Prometheus would result in a plot of values increasing steadily, up and to the right. In Lightstep, the same metric represented as a count would result in a straight line over time assuming a consistent rate of scrape requests.
Default Grouping for Rate Calculations
When taking the rate of a counter in Prometheus, the default plot will implicitly group the plot by labels. In Lightstep, you must explicitly specify the label to group by.
