Legislation Governing Skip Permits
The placement of skips and containers on the highway is governed by the Highways Act 1980 Section 139.
Within this a local authority is given discretion to determine the following:
- The siting of the skip:
- Its dimensions.
- The manner in which it is to be coated with paint and other material for the purpose of making it immediately visible to oncoming traffic;
- The care and disposal of its contents;
- The manner in which it is to be lighted or guarded;
This means that each local authority does have its own interpretation of what constitutes a skip, how it should be marked, located and lighted.
Specification of a builders skip
Within the regulations A Builders Skip means a container designed to be carried on a road vehicle and to be placed on a highway or other land for the storage of builders materials or the removal and disposal of builders rubble, waste, household and other rubbish or earth and shall when carried on a road vehicle comply with the appropriate Motor Vehicle Construction and Use Regulations.
In Bradford for example a skip is defined as a container that shall not exceed 5m in length and 2m in width.Whereas in Newcastle for example a 20ft storage container will be managed under a skip permit.Some Councils have a scale of charges depending on the size of the skip and others have a single price for any size.
As a minimum:
- The builders' skip shall be clearly and permanently marked with the owner's name and with his telephone number or address.
- The container should be clearly visible at all times with vertical red and yellow fluorescent reflective markings at each end in accordance with the Builders Skips (Markings) Regulations 1984 (SI 1984/1933) (effective 1 January 1986) and BSS All _PHONE_.
- If on a highway then cones and lights are required to comply with Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual and the ends shall be painted yellow. During the hours of darkness the owner shall provide, maintain and light four yellow lamps, fixed securely to the skip(s), one to each corner.
- The skip(s) shall be placed in such a position as to be clearly visible to traffic approaching from either side at a distance of not less than 100m (330ft)
- It shall neither be placed within a distance of 30m (100ft) from a road junction nor in such a position to block any sight line at an entrance, junction or bend nor to impede surface water drainage not obstruct access to property, fire hydrants, gullies, manholes and apparatus of any
- Statutory Undertaker, nor be placed in such a position as to contravene any Traffic Order or regulation made under the Road Traffic Acts. It/they shall, when sited in the carriageway, be placed near the edge of the carriageway with the longer side parallel thereto.
- It/they shall not be placed in such a position as to partly or wholly obstruct a footway without the express permission of the Strategic Director for Environment & Infrastructure or his representative, to be granted only after consultation and agreement with the Police and conditional upon a 1m. wide pedestrian walkway being provided in the carriageway properly protected and signed and with yellow lights lighted at night.
If a local authority deems that the skip falls outside of their interpretation of section 139 for a builders skip then they will often cite Highways Act 1980 section 169 which can be summarised:
A license is required where building, demolition work or the alteration, repair, maintenance or cleaning of any building, requires to erect or retain on the highway any scaffolding or other structure which obstructs the highway (hereafter in this section referred to as a "relevant structure").
The container is being considered as a 'Relevant structure'. The requirements of this Relevant Structure vary dependent on the local authority. Some may treat this as a construction site requiring hoarding, cones and illumination. Others may simply require a hoarding license.
What To Do
For every site we need to establish the ownership of the land upon which skips or containers are placed. Housing association land is most likely to be owned by the council and will require a permit.
Please notify Red Kite Recycling of any intended site at least a week in advance in order to determine ownership with the council, provide quotes for Purchase order, apply for any permits and order skips.

I'm having a bit of confusion about how to render text in a pure AS3 project. There are classes like flash.text.StaticText but these are designer-only, you can't create them in code. I was half-expecting the Graphics class to have text-rendering options but alas, no.
Specifically I was going to add a label above each player's sprite with their name, health %, etc. So I expected to add a child text-element or draw text using Graphics in some way... it's read-only and should not support user-input, I just want to draw text on-screen.

You can use TextField class for this. Please check the reference. All fields and methods are self explanatory.
A possible example.
var myField:TextField = new TextField();
myField.text = "my text";
myField.x = 200;
myField.y = 200;
addChild(myField); // assuming you are in a container class

Why there's Rainbow Beach sand sitting on the moon
WE ALL love to walk along the fine sands of Rainbow Beach, but not many people would know the sand's link to Neil Armstrong's historic first ever moon walk 50 years ago.
Rutile extracted from Cooloola Coast sand deposits back in the '60s had gone into the manufacture of titanium used on the Apollo 11 space craft.
In fact the spindly legs of the lunar module made from our Wide Bay sand, were the first part of the craft to touch the moon and are still up there today.
At the time about 90 per cent of the world's titanium came from Australia.
Queensland Titanium Mines Pty Ltd at Rainbow Beach filled a large part of the export market ensuring our place in space history.
Titanium made from the Wide Bay's sand was used to build the Apollo 11 command ship Columbia, its lunar module lander Eagle and the Saturn five rocket that put the men into orbit.
The space capsules heat shield that protected the craft during re-entry into the earth's atmosphere was also made of titanium alloys.
Sand mining ceased at Rainbow Beach in the mid-1970s due to environmental concerns.

What does breathability mean in a mattress?
Does it count to consider the breathability feature in a mattress?
If these are your question, let us first start with what breathability means. It is the feature that determines how well the air is circulated through the fabric. Therefore, if the mattress is breathable, it will remain cool and satisfying even when sleeping for long hours during hot sunny days. In short, breathability directly impacts your experience regarding health, comfort, and performance as a whole.
In addition, it also controls how many years the mattress will be able to serve you by mitigating wear and tear due to moisture and heat. As a result, enhancing the product's durability and reducing the mattresses vulnerability to an environmental factor.
Check Out: Ways You Can Make Your Mattress Last Longer
How Long Does a Mattress Last in generally?
If the breathability property is top-notch, nothing can hold it back to serve you for at least 7-10 years. However, speaking health and hygiene wise one should replace their mattress every 6 to 8 years.
The life of your mattress will also depend on other factors like how much weight it is carrying, how often you nap on it, the type of mattress you have chosen to install, etc.
Factors Influencing Mattress Lifespan
Like we have discussed, numerous factors determine the lifespan of your mattress. However, to follow a general thumb rule, watch out for the following factors:
The material of which the mattress is made has a substantial impact on how long a mattress last. For example, high-density polyfoam material last longer compared to low-density polyfoam.
2. Mattress Type
- How Long Does A Spring Mattress Last?
The average lifespan of the innerspring mattress is 5 to 6 years. As you shop for the particular mattress, you will find most of them contains pocketed coil allowing all the other coil to work independently. However, mattresses containing traditional coil system works together and counteracts each other's motion. Thus, to determine the durability, there are few points to consider:
- Coil gauge: Mattress containing coil gauge of fourteen or higher are firm while those below are soft. You will be tempted to buy the softer ones, but since they are thin, they have less durability.
- Pillow top: Also, look for pillow top features when determining durability. They add softness to the higher coil gauge.
- Mattress topper: If you purchase a quality mattress topper, it reduces the direct compression, increasing the mattress's lifespan.
- How Long Does A Foam Mattress Last?
A foam mattress usually lasts longer than eight years. However, it may vary depending on the foam it is made of:
- Polyurethane: It is the least expensive mattress you will find; however often compromises on durability. So, before buying, check the density it offers. The higher will be the density, the longer it will last.
- Reflex foam: Their durability is generally higher than the standard foam but is careful of their specification and sagging period.
- Convoluted: Convoluted foam is not well in durability. Though they provide the best kind of support, they are generally short-lived.
- How Long Does A Memory Foam Mattress Last?
The durability of memory foam mattresses is considerably high (6-7 years). However, the body weight you intend to apply and the product's density must be in accordance. If thinking of putting heavy pressure, the density should not be less than five lbs/ft3.
- How Long Does A Latex Mattress Last?
When considering a latex mattress, it lasts for 7 to 8 years. However, it will mainly depend on the blend the product has used in its mattress:
- Natural or synthetic: The product is made from two material types natural and synthetic. Generally, natural are more durable and give higher performance than synthetic ones.
- Replaceable layers: The comfortable layer is added to the mattress to install features like heat transfer, motion isolation, and bounciness. However, it slightly impacts the durability of the product by degrading its quality.
- How Long Does A Coir Mattress Last?
You can expect a coir mattress to last up to 3 to 5 years, after which they tend to sag and disorient. The main reason for this is that it is made from 100% natural coconut fibre, which often becomes vulnerable to environmental factors.
- How Long Does A Hybrid Mattress Last?
Since hybrid mattress is the combination of two or more mattresses, you will have to access the following points to access its durability:
- Density: As said earlier, it is a significant factor determining the product's durability, so it should be enough to carry an average person's weight and higher.
- Warranty: Another way to understand the product's durability is by looking at its warranty period. It should not be less than ten years.
3. Sagging Potential
It is general for the mattress to sag up, especially in areas where you place the heaviest part of your body, like hips and shoulders. This further leads to body pain and dis-alignment if the mattress is not replaced.
Check Out: How To Fix A Saggy Mattress?
4. Body Impressions Potential
Body impressions are a common factor influencing mattress durability. Because of this factor, you can see a semi-permanent print of your body on the mattress generally caused by sleeping in one position.
5. Premature softening potential
Every mattress softens after few regular uses. It is not a problem until it is normal softening. However, when it turns excessively soft, it sags up and affects the comfort and pressure-releasing ability of the bed.
6. Mechanical malfunction potential
This issue is mainly seen in smart beds, airbeds and other mattresses. When this factor gets affected, it impacts manual and remote control, air pumps and outlet connectivity.
7. Mattress Care
Like anything, when you take care of the mattress, it is expected to last longer. One way of increasing longevity is flipping the mattress every six months, given it is two-sided.
8. Mattress Warranty
Warranty offered by companies protect your mattress from early deterioration and saves you from incurring heavy maintenance charges. A standard warranty period extends to 10 years but always try to look for more for better durability.
When to replace a mattress?
Few signs that show it is time to replace your beloved mattress are:
- Other's bed whether at a hotel or a friend's home, seem more comfortable to you
- There is a sense of irritability or achiness when sleeping on your mattress
- Your mattress has gone some sagging and indentations
- The mattress has served you longer than 6-8 years
After gaining the above knowledge, it will be easy to determine the best mattress for yourself. Also, it will save you from developing any pain or disease from sleeping on a bad mattress. However, remember to change it after every six years for best performance.


Currency of Malaysia: Malaysian ringgit, today's rate RM
The Malaysian Ringgit is the currency of Malaysia. The code of Malaysian ringgit is MYR. We use RM as symbol of Malaysian ringgit. The Malaysian Ringgit is divided in 100 sens. MYR is regulated by Central Bank of Malaysia.
Did you know:
More information: currency converter.
The ringgit of Malaysia
«Ringgit» means «lacy» and refers to the pieces of Spanish coins that circulated in the region during Spanish colonization. 1 ringgit is divided into 100 sen.
Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj ibni Almarhum Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah, more commonly known as «Tunku», was the first prime minister, and up until now the most important one, from 1957 to 1970. This is why Malaysia honors him on the front of all banknotes of the country, where he is features in traditional dress.
On the back, Malaysia presents its economic and technological pride: oil rigs on the 50-ringgit note, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur on the 5-ringgit note, and even its train, its airline, and its commercial boats on the 10-ringgit note. Despite a very deeply-rooted ancestrally traditional culture, Malaysia doesn't have many ancient or ruined monuments like in Thailand or Indonesia, so they had to create them themselves.

text: In order to effectively improve the target detection and recognition ability of IR imagers, based on a 320×256 cooled staring focal plane array(FPA) detector, pixel size 30μm×30μm, a mid-wavelength infrared dual field of view zoom system was designed. In this paper, the working wavelength is 3μm～5μm, the temperature range is -40°C~+50°C, this system can realize 200mm and 400mm dual focal length, the F-number is 2, the full field of view of short focal length is 3.44° and long focal length is 1.72° respectively, satisfy 100% cold shield efficiency. A re-imaging refractive system was adopted in this designed optical system consists of main optics and projection components. First of all, the structural selection and the initial parameter calculation were introduced in detail. Secondly, on the basis of variety of the distance and temperature, a focusing lens was presented in this system to adjust to produce a clear image. Last but not the least, to improve image quality and environment adaptability, the analysis of temperature change and narcissus effect were described particularly. The design results prove that at the spatial frequency of 17 lp/mm, the MTF of the optical system is greater than 0.5(the axis MTF of the optical is greater than 0.6), the system can offer a high resolution and excellent images in whole range of the focal length, and it has the advantages of good adaptability, compact structure, high optical transmission and small size.

A simple explicit model approximating the relationship between speed and density of vehicular traffic on urban roads
With the increase in simulation of urban environments for the purpose of planning, modelling vehicular traffic has become important. Since empirical evidence on traffic flow is relatively sparse, models are being increasingly used for planning urban roads and environments. In this paper, a simple, explicit model is proposed to approximate the speed versus density of vehicular traffic flow. The model, which uses two parameters derived from simple measurements of real–time traffic data, allows for a prediction of the approximate relationship for congested as well as uncongested vehicular traffic flow. The proposed model is especially useful in conditions where available data is sparse and can be invaluable for the modelling and simulation of urban environments.

OBJECTIVE: It is an ongoing debate whether tympanoplasty should be performed in the pediatric age group. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the anatomical and functional outcomes of type I cartilage tympanoplasty in children and adults.
MATERIALS and METHODS: The file records of patients who underwent type 1 cartilage tympanoplasty were retrospectively reviewed. In total, 133 patients who underwent type 1 tympanoplasty for chronic otitis media were included. Tragal cartilage grafts were used in all patients. The patients were divided into two groups: pediatric (age≤16 years, n=54) and adult (age>18 years, n=79) groups. The graft success rates and hearing results between the two groups were compared.
RESULTS: The graft success rate was 90.2% (120/133) in the study group. At the end of the 24-month follow-up, the graft was intact in 48 of the 54 (88.9%) patients in the pediatric group and 72 of the 79 patients in the adult group (91.1%) (p=0.769). The functional success rate (postoperative air–bone gap<20 dB) obtained in the study group was 90.2% (120/133). The functional success rate was 88.9% (48/54) in the pediatric group and 91.1% (72/79) in the adult group (p=0.255).
CONCLUSION: The graft success rates and hearing results obtained with cartilage grafts are similar in children and adults. Therefore, cartilage grafts may be safely used in pediatric patients, similar to their use in adults.

Robert Shedinger, associate professor of religion, will present a Luther College Religion Forum Lecture at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16 in Room 102 of the Franklin W. Olin building on the Luther campus.
His lecture, titled "Radically Open: Transcending Religious Identity in an Age of Anxiety," is open to the public with no charge for admission.
Based on his book of the same title, Shedinger will discuss how modern American society serves to foster the anxiety epidemic and how it prohibits anxiety sufferers' access to the spiritual resources they desperately need. Shedinger's book argues that exclusive claims to religious identity help to foster the anxiety epidemic while submitting oneself to the greater wisdom of the cosmic story holds the key to resolving anxiety.
Talking from experience, he will discuss his personal journey through the darkness of anxiety with the help of the psychology of Carl Jung. Shedinger suggests that Islamic tradition may provide one of the best models for how to overcome the problem of anxiety and creating a more just and sustainable world.
Shedinger holds a master's degree from Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary and a doctoral degree in religious studies from Temple University.
Since the publication of his book in 2009, "Was Jesus a Muslim? Questioning Categories in the Study of Religion," he has been a regular speaker in mosques and Islamic centers across the United States.

This details about a scenario in Dynamics CRM 2013 with an import of an organisation failing due to duplicate user names.
There are at least two trusted Domains (e.g. Domain1 and Domain2). Once in a while it may become necessary that a user is moved into a new Domain (e.g. for a new Job). In this case the user domain1\username is disabled in domain1 and created as domain2\username in domain2. Please note that both times the very same username is taken for that user. As a consequence, the same will be done in CRM: domain1\username will be disabled and a new user domain2\username will be enabled.
You would import the org with these two duplicate usernames (one is disabled) and log on to CRM 2013 after this Import
The users are unable to log on to CRM.
These error messages are thrown:
Error message 1: "Business Management Error" "The user ID associated with the current record is not valid".
Error message 2: "No Microsoft Dynamics CRM user exists with the specified domain name and user ID".
In the import log you may find these warnings:
Warning| The following mappings were not valid because these crm users are mapped to AD users that are mapped multiple times: (Domain1\username, Domain2\username),
When CRM maps the user to AD user, the disabled user will show up before the active user in the list most of the times. When that occurs, we will always map to the disabled user instead of the active user.
When CRM moves on to the next mapping, which is the Domain2\username, this fails because AD account Domain2\username is already mapped to the disabled CRM user account that was previously mapped to Domain1\username, and we cannot have a valid AD account mapped to multiple CRM users in one organization.
This is working as design as this part of the code is also used elsewhere.
1) Do not create a separate new CRM user but remap the AD Account of existing user
You may correct the problem also later on in this way:
1. Create two dummy users in AD: domain2\Dummy1 and domain2\Dummy2
2. Map active CRM user Testuser to dummy domain2\Dummy1
3. Enable the disabled user entry in CRM
4. Map this CRM user to domain2\Dummy2
5. Disable this user again
6. Map the active CRM user (beneath 2) back to the "real" ADUser"
2) The best option is to create a mapping file and maintain that file for this and any other affected organizations. You can get a good start on the mapping file simply by selecting the records from the SystemUserBase table and then altering the results as needed. This will ensure definitive mapping for the user accounts. Also, once the mapping file is created, using it during the import process is nearly as simple as using Automatic Mapping.
Note: Always ensure you have a recent backup of the CRM database before any changes in SQL.
In order to create a mapping file via SQL select from System user base, you may go through these steps:
1. Create and Copy the XML file to the CRM Server that you will be importing the Organization from:
2. Open the XML file and update the line so that the old and new values are correctly populated for the NETBIOS domain names.
3. Run the following script against the SystemUserBase table in the ORG_MSCRM database. This will select all active users.
DECLARE _USER_ varchar(20)
-- _USER_ variable should be updated to reflect the new domain name.
SET _USER_ = 'NewDomainName'
Select '' from [SystemUserBase] where IsDisabled = 0
4. Copy all of the results and paste into the UserMappingFileBase.xml file in between the MappingConfiguration tags.
5. Save the XML file and use it during the Import Org process.

Implement Custom Activity Indicator With The SwiftUI
As you may know, SwiftUI does not have too many elegant indicators as the UIKit itself. So I have decided to implement some of the popular indicators that are already exist for the UIKit, but natively in pure SwiftUI. So it can be used for the iOS 13 with the SwiftUI 1.0 alongside with the newly widgets that apple is introduced currently. Since you know
UIKit views wrapped in UIViewRepresentable will not work in WidgetKit. When the views are encoded from your extension to be displayed they will appear blank
by Frameworks Engineer 
So I planned to implement this following these steps:
 1. Find popular animations for the 'ActivityIndicator'
Find popular animations
After some research, I've found some popular animations and I decided to start with this:
Implement animations in the pure SwiftUI (compatible with v1.0)
We aim for making these attributes dynamic:
 1. The count of the elements
So we start with this:
Note that we have to implement the isAnimating variable as a _USER_ because we want to control it from the outside of the view.
Also, make the count unsigned because negative counts doesn't make any sense.
As an overview, we need some item to be repeated and create the whole indicator. To creating them, we need access to the index of the element along side geometry of the indicator, so we can calculate the position of that item:
Note that we want all items to be fitted inside the main view, and aspectRatio(contentMode:.fit) is here to help us with that.
For this specific animation, we need to apply horizontal offset to each element due to it's index and apply proper scaling and and opacity to it:
There is 3 helpers here:
These two return correct bound of the corresponding range.
And this is just for the sake of compiling time. It returns the size of the element.
Make it available as a simple view
We need a simple initializer with some default values, so:
So far so good! Now we can use it like:
Note that how default modifiers like the foregroundColor are working as expected?
The demo view is already as simple as this UsageDemoView()
Add a modifier for the style of the Activity Indicator
For now we are passing style arguments at the initialization time of the indicator. But its not very 'SwiftUI'ly. To have a modifier for that, we are going. to extend it with a function that takes style and returns a new view as default modifiers are doing this. This will be as symple as this:
Now we can modify the indicator like a native Apple designed API:

text: With the growing popularity of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the improvement of safety for UAV operations has become increasingly important. In this paper, a landing trajectory optimization scheme is proposed to generate reference landing trajectories for a fixed-wing UAV with accidental engine failure. For a specific landing objective, two types of landing trajectory optimization algorithms are investigated: i) trajectory optimization algorithm with nonlinear UAV dynamics, and ii) trajectory optimization algorithm with linearized UAV dynamics. An initialization procedure that generates an initial guess is introduced to accelerate the convergence of the optimization algorithms. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified in a high-fidelity UAV simulation environment, where the optimized landing trajectories are tracked by a UAV equipped with an L1 adaptive altitude controller in both the offline and online modes.

|Can be a form of rebellion against traditional gender roles
|Can be uncomfortable and impractical to wear for extended periods of time
Ultimately, the meaning of red high heels is up to the individual wearer. Whether worn for personal empowerment or to adhere to societal norms, red high heels remain a powerful symbol of femininity and strength.
The Role of Red High Heels in the Feminist Movement
For years, high heels have been seen as a symbol of oppression and objectification of women. However, in recent times, red high heels have taken on a new meaning within the feminist movement. This section will examine the role of red high heels in the feminist movement and what they represent for women today.
- Women's empowerment: Red high heels represent confidence and badassery. When a woman wears red high heels, she's communicating "I am powerful, and I am in control." It's a symbol of her confidence and ability to take on the world.
- Protest: Women have worn red high heels as a form of protest. For example, the "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" march started in 2001 and has grown to become a global movement where men march in red heels to raise awareness about rape, sexual assault, and gender-based violence. Women have also worn red high heels to protests for equal pay and reproductive rights.
- Supporting women-owned businesses: Many women-owned businesses now specialize in making high-quality, comfortable, and stylish red high heels for women. By purchasing these shoes, women are supporting other women in the business world and promoting gender equality.
In addition to the above, red high heels can also be seen as a tool for subversion. By wearing high heels that traditionally represented subordination, women are reclaiming them and turning them into a symbol of female power. However, it's important to note that not all women choose to wear high heels, and that's perfectly okay too. Above all, the feminist movement advocates for women having the freedom to make choices that are not dictated by societal norms or expectations.
Finally, let's take a look at the impact of red high heels in mainstream culture. In 2015, the "National Go Red for Women Day" was celebrated on February 6th, where women were encouraged to wear red to raise awareness about heart disease in women. This resulted in a trend of women wearing red high heels as well, which further solidified the connection between red high heels and women's empowerment.
|• Red high heels are a symbol of women's empowerment and confidence
|• Red high heels have been used in protests as a form of activism
|• Supporting women-owned businesses that specialize in making high-quality, stylish red heels promotes gender equality
To conclude, red high heels have evolved from being a symbol of oppression to a symbol of women's empowerment, confidence, and activism. Women continue to use red high heels as a vehicle for challenging societal norms and promoting gender equality.

twice as less
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to: navigation, search
twice + as + less.
twice as less (not comparable)
 1. (nonstandard, proscribed) Half as much.
 - 1987, Eleanor Wilson Orr, Twice as Less[1], W. W. Norton & Co.:
 - 2015 July 27, Yaroslav Vlasov, "Electioneering games in Siberia", Open Democracy:
 The governing party receives twice as less votes here than it does on average across Russia.

 The children also are able to construct a table to assist them in determining how many runs must be made by a truck and a trailer in order to transport 1080 tons of coal, if the truck can haul 30 tons per load and the trailer can carry twice as less coal per load.
Usage notes[edit]
In order for the term to make proper sense, the subject should have a quantity that is multiplicative (or at least additive). It is preferable, however, to use a positive expression for the quantity, such as in half as much or half as many.
It may be seen used colloquially when the quantity is not multiplicative, as a form of emphatic. For example: He is twice as less intelligent than his father. The 'positive' expression (in this case, half as) is still preferred.


How to Encrypt an Unencrypted RDS DB Instance
Lab Details
 1. This lab walks you through the steps to create an unencrypted instance with the Encrypt option.
 2. You will practice this lab by not enabling the encryption of DB Instance while creating.
 3. Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes
 1. Amazon RDS can encrypt your Amazon RDS DB Instances.
 2. When the encrypt option is enabled for the AWS RDS Resources, we are able to encrypt DB Instances, Automated Backups, Read replicas, Snapshots and Logs.
 3. Amazon RDS encrypted DB instances use the AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt your data on the server that hosts your Amazon RDS DB instances.
 4. The Encrypt option can be enabled only when you are launching the DB instance, it cannot be enabled after launch. However, copies of unencrypted snapshots can be encrypted.
Task Details
 1. Log into AWS Management Console.
 2. Create an Amazon RDS DB Instance (without enabling encrypt option).
 3. Take a snapshot from an existing DB Instance.
 4. Make a copy of the snapshot and encrypt it.
 5. Restore DB Instance from the encrypted snapshot.
 6. Change the name of the original DB Instance.
 7. Change the name of the Restored DB Instance to the original DB Instance name.
 8. Delete the original RDS Instance and snapshot.
 9. Validation of the lab.
Architecture Diagram
Case Study
 1. Suppose we have created an RDS DB Instance without enabling the encryption. As days passed by the project became bigger and began to store more sensitive data.
 2. As you are quite aware of security issues, you wanted to check on the AWS console that your database was well encrypted.
 3. Your database was totally Unencrypted. And when you check to encrypt the database, you have no option to encrypt the database.

Public investment, transport infrastructure and growth in Poland
Aleksander Rutkowski, European Commission
Public investment, transport infrastructure and growth in Polandpdf(159 kB) Choose translations of the previous link
This Country Focus discusses the relation between public investment and economic growth in Poland. Theoretical and empirical work has shown that improvements in the quantity and quality of public infrastructure have a positive impact on growth in the medium and, possibly, in the long run. The effect is even more important for economies in transition engaged in a catching up process.
The analysis presented supports these conclusions. It also provides statistical evidence suggesting that higher public investment stimulates growth in Poland. In recent years, a significant effort has already been made to increase public spending in infrastructure. This has contributed to smooth the economic downturn in Poland during the crisis.
However, significant infrastructure investments are still needed, notably in the area of transport. In the current post-crisis environment, the envisaged efforts to further improve public infrastructure seem to be an appropriate way to support the recovery.
Spending reallocation within the budget and a more extensive use of EU funds would allow financing these new investments. This would avoid increasing the budget deficit or introducing distortionary taxes, which would partly or fully offset the positive impact of the additional investments.

A junior high school teacher who was fired in March plans to sue the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and its education board over what she is calling illegal punishment, sources familiar with the case said Wednesday.
The teacher, whose name has been withheld, was dismissed on March 31 from her position at a public school run by Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward for describing a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly and a history text publisher as "history distorters" last year, the sources said.
In a document she circulated in her civics classes in August last year, the teacher criticized the assembly member and a publisher who is associated with a group that promotes revisionist views on wartime history by writing: "It is a shame that they do not recognize Japan's war of aggression."
The document mentioned the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform, a group that played a leading role in editing a history textbook that has drawn fire both at home and from China and South Korea for allegedly whitewashing Japan's past militarism and attempting to justify its invasions of other Asian countries.
The teacher was reprimanded over the document and underwent a retraining program from last September to March, but ended up being fired, the sources said.
The teacher believes remarks by the assembly member and the history textbook contradict the government's recognition of Japan's wartime aggression, and that telling her students about them was therefore not inappropriate.
The woman argues that the reprimand last August was an abuse of the education board's right to discipline teachers and that her dismissal is illegal.

KAS files can be edited usü5 How do I edit my.kas files? How do I edit my.kas files?marekf¨lang=en&display=faq&faqnr=47&catnr=8&prog=1&onlynewfaq=0" TARGET="_self">ELLO - EvilLyrics Lyrics Organizer
If you want to edit your.kas files, you just need to click in a song that you already created/downloaded the timestamps. When you select it, the lyrics will be displayed in the textbox and a new pane for the karaoke editor will appear.
In it, you can edit both the time and the text marks for every line of the lyrics. You can also add and delete stamps. When adding, it will be added after the last selected stamp. When deleting, the last selected stamp will be deleted.
Editing the time stamps
Every second, EvilLyrics can have 5 different timestamps. The first one goes exactly in that second. The second one goes after 200 mileseconds, the third one after 400, etc. In the Karaoke Editor, you can edit the values for the minutes, seconds and mileseconds too. The format is Minutes:Seconds.Milesec. So, if you have an stamp like 03:27.4, it mean it will be played 400 mileseconds after 3 minutes and 27 seconds
Editing the text stamps
The text in the right represents the first two leters in the line. Generally, if your karaoke is not working properly, it has much more to do with the text than with the time. So, what you need is to check if these two letters are the same first two letters for its corresponding time. Note that numbers and the apostrophe aren't allowed, so if you have a line like this: "I'm here for you", the letters that you should type are "Im".
Note that it is case sensitive. This means that there is difference between "Hi" and "HI".

PREP Good practices in Sustainable Energy and Resource Efficiency
Through its Promotion of Resource Efficiency Projects (PREP), WISIONS has collected more than 50 examples of good practice from successfully implemented projects.
WISIONS launched 12 international calls for applications from 2004 to 2008, each time inviting submissions on an important issue or topic related to energy or resource efficiency. These examples still serve as a relevant source of new ideas. They illustrate improved ways of developing and implementing similar projects in other parts of the world.
Up to five examples of good practice were selected for each issue or topic and published in PREP brochures. A set of internationally accepted criteria was used to ensure the sustainable character of the projects. Financial, environmental and social aspects were considered alongside technological feasibility. Regional factors acknowledging different needs and potentials were also taken into account.
The 12 issues or topics are grouped into four categories:
WISIONS now funds sustainable energy projects via its Sustainable Energy Project Support (SEPS) scheme. You will find other examples of good practice on our SEPS Project map.


Eco-Friendly Project with Cay-Shred begins at Beacon Farms
In December 2020, Beacon Farms received the first load of shredded paper from Cay-Shred Mobile Data Destruction. The load delivered weighed roughly 6,000 lbs - that is 6,000 lbs. less waste dumped at the George Town landfill!
Beacon farms will incorporate this shredded paper with our other compost inputs, such as green waste from landscapers, brown waste in the form of wood chips and create a nutrient rich compost product.
Cay-Shred will be delivering similarly sized load each week. This situation benefits everyone involved as we are reducing the volume of waste going to the dump by recycling a waste product and turning it into a valuable growing medium that will in turn make Beacon Farms' soil more productive.

In November, voters in California will vote on Proposition 2, which seeks to increase cage sizes for egg laying hens, pregnant pigs and veal calves. The new regulations, which would go into effect in 2015, would require cages to be large enough to allow these animals to be able to stand up, lie down, turn around and to be able to fully extend their limbs without touching the side of an enclosure or other egg-laying hens.
To show the size of some animals' quarters in large-scale farm operations, Oprah stands with replicas of cages and crates for each animal affected by Proposition 2. In an egg-laying hen cage, five to six hens could be in a single cage. The typical crate for a young male calf being raised for veal has enough room for him to stick his head out. Pregnant pigs—which can weigh more than 500 pounds—are about 5 to 6 feet long, while the cages they live in are about 7 feet long.
Those who support Proposition 2 say these animals have the right to more space during their lives. Opponents of Proposition 2, including farmers and industry representatives, say the new law would drive up costs, put farmers out of business and end the egg industry in California, and deny consumers the right to choose less-expensive food.

This study revealed the importance of SO4 2− ions during biogenic scorodite crystallization via a two-stage As-removal process, using a combination of liquid and solid analyses (chemical digestion, FT-IR, SEM, TG-DTA, particle distribution). The first-stage As-removal was induced by microbial oxidation of Fe2+ and As(III), precipitating SO4 2−-bearing amorphous precursors composed of basic ferric sulfate (MFex(SO4)y(OH)z) and ferric arsenate (FeAsO4·(2 + n)H2O). This was followed by an induction period (a period of constant concentration), where dissolution-recrystallization of unstable amorphous precursors proceeded: Re-dissolved metal ions became locally concentrated on the surface of precursors, which gave the driving force for the second-stage As-removal as secondary layers of crystalline biogenic scorodite (Fe(AsO4)0.94(SO4)0.08·1.69H2O) out of even more dilute and seeded solution. This phase transformation process was also accompanied by continuous dehydration. This two-stage As-removal via SO4 2−-mediated phase transformation was shown to be key to promote biogenic scorodite formation with greater final As-removal from dilute As(III)-bearing solutions.

Balokole is an African fundamentalist Christian reform movement that started in the 1930s. The Balokole arose within the East African Revival Movement which sought to renew the Protestant churches in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. Despite its theological roots in the Western revival movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Balokole evolved as an indigenous African movement. The term Balokole can be translated as "the saved ones" or "the chosen".
The Balokole movement criticized established hierarchies within the Church of Uganda and questioned prevailing amorality or double standards. The Balokole formed egalitarian brotherhoods, followed puritanical rules, publicly confessed their sins and professed their experience of conversion, which they understood as a radical break with their former sinful selves and a receiving of new life from God.[1] They stressed the importance of the Lordship of Christ over all areas of life.[1][2]

Ordnance Survey Data Importer Coordinate Conversion Accuracy
Update 13 March 2013: Please see latest blog post (fix) on this here.
Thanks to a comment on my original post around my project that imports Ordnance Survey CodePoint data into SQL Server, I was made aware of a potential issue with the (awesome) third party GeoCoordConversion DLL I use to convert the Eastings/Northings coordinates supplied in the Ordnance Survey data files, into Latitude/Longitude coordinates. The issue relates to an inaccuracy in the conversion process, specifically to do with integer divisions instead of double.
So, this blog post is to document my analysis of that and try to quantify what, if any, impact there is on the accuracy of the conversion of Eastings/Northings to Latitude/Longitude. So what I've done is:
 1. Import the Ordnance Survey data set using the released version ( of the GeoCoordConversion library (i.e. the version my project uses)
 2. Downloaded the source code for GeoCoordConversion and corrected the parts of the calculations where the raised issue noted an inaccuracy
 3. Reran the data import into a separate table using the "corrected" conversion code
 4. Ran the following query to try and quantify how much of a difference it actually makes:
 SELECT orig.OutwardCode, orig.InwardCode,
 orig.GeoLocation.STDistance(new.GeoLocation) Dist
 FROM PostCodeData orig
 JOIN PostCodeDataWithFix new ON orig.InwardCode = new.InwardCode
 AND orig.OutwardCode = new.OutwardCode
SELECT MIN(Dist) AS MinDifferenceInMetres,
 MAX(Dist) AS MaxDifferenceInMetres,
 AVG(Dist) AS AverageDifferenceInMetres,
 SUM(CASE WHEN Dist = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) AS NumberOfDifferences
The MAXIMUM distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 124.9 metres.
The MINIMUM distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 0 metres.
The AVERAGE distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 2.5 metres.
The TOTAL NUMBER of differences was 1,652,458 (out of 1,705,177 conversions).
This map shows the case that had the biggest difference (postcode: NR34 8JW). Plotted points are as follows:
(A) = position from conversion process before fix
(B) = position from conversion process with fix
(C) = position Google Maps gives for location
Note (B) and (C) are in the same spot, so that's why you can't see both!
View Larger Map
For me, and what I see as potential uses for this data, I personally don't see this as much of an issue especially with an average difference of 2.5 metres. I will add a comment on to the GeoCoordConversion project issue page, referencing this post. Though there doesn't look to be any activity on the project, so whether a fix can be applied is yet to be seen. That's my preferred route at present, to see if the author of that project is around to apply a fix as I currently don't have full knowledge of what I changes I can make to the source code and what would be acceptable in order to distribute the amended source code as part of my project (my project is released under a different, but compatible license...but things might get murkier when it comes to amending/distributing those amendments). In a nutshell, I just don't have time to try to make head and tail of what I can legitimately do (and I don't want to change the license for my project)!
All feedback welcomed
 1. Hi,
 Many thanks for this, it is exactly what I needed. Just a question would it be possible for you to share the updated dll?
 Many thanks
 1. _USER_ - I'll see what I can do. Need to check the license applied to that project / may contact that project owner.
 2. If you can't get anywhere with that project, you might want to take a look at my.NET coords library,
 I've used it for my own projects a lot and several other people are using it without too many issues
 3. _USER_ - awesome, thanks. I will give it a try soon!
 4. Wicked, really wicked cheers!

I am writing a report that allows my employer to rank employees by productivity and fault rate. Employee ranks are based on productivity (value of 25%), supervisor input(value of 25%) and fault rate(50%). Catching a fault awards you a single point, causing a minor fault takes a point away, causing a major fault takes three points away. Using this number and the amount of hours tracked I want to get a "faults per hour" that is a positive number and use this to sum with the rest of the score in order to get a value with around 100 being the max that I can use to rank employees.
How do I properly calculate the fault rate per hour? The method I am considering is adding the score to a hundred and then weighting it according to time spent at the station, the issue that I'm having is I compare the final score to the average score at the station, how can I keep the average score of that station reasonable for comparison if I'm adding the results to 100?
So I guess I'm doing this
(x-3y - z + 100 / a) * b [x] is the amount of faults they have caught. [y] is the amount of major faults they have created. [z] is the number of minor faults they have created. 100 is to get a positive number. [a] is number hours spent at station. [b] is the number hours spent on this station compared to total time
I'm dividing it by [a] because I need an hourly rate.
Since the period that I'm using as the baseline is 6 weeks and the period that I'm using to compare it is 6 weeks maybe I could just sum it all together and add the number to (100* 4) because it's 4 times the period size? These numbers don't have to be absolutely perfect because they will never be equal. Just looking to compare a 6week sample of a person's performance to a 6month sample of the entire average.


Windows Programming
.NET 1.1+
Mouse Clipping
Specialised applications can require that the mouse pointer is limited to a fixed portion of the screen, known as a clipping rectangle. This region can be determined and controlled by reading and setting a property of a standard.NET class.
Clipping Rectangles
Under normal circumstance the mouse pointer can be moved freely within the rectangle defined by the screen. This area is the clipping rectangle. You can change the boundaries of the rectangle to restrict the pointer movement. This is useful for specialised applications where the user should not click items outside of the rectangle.
Changing the mouse clipping rectangle should be done with care. Although the clipping is removed by switching between applications or by showing the Windows Start menu, adding clipping can be frustrating for novice users. Those who are unaware of keyboard controls may decide to power down their system unnecessarily to remove the clipping.
Getting the Clipping Rectangle
You can retrieve the current clipping rectangle boundaries using the Clip property of the Cursor class. This static property returns a Rectangle structure containing the position and size of the clipping region. The Cursor class is found in the System.Windows.Forms namespace and Rectangle is in System.Drawing, so add the following using directives:
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
The code below shows the current clipping rectangle in a message box:
Setting the Clipping Rectangle
The Clip property may be used to constrain the mouse pointer within a specified rectangle. If the mouse pointer is not within the rectangle and the application changing the Clip property is active, the pointer will be moved to a valid position. The following sample code restricts the pointer to a 101 pixel square at the top left corner of the screen:
Cursor.Clip = new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100);
A common way to limit the pointer is to use the boundaries of a Windows control. First you convert the client rectangle of the control to screen co-ordinates and then apply them to the Clip property. The code below limits the mouse pointer to the boundaries of a panel control named, "MyPanel".
Cursor.Clip = MyPanel.RectangleToScreen(MyPanel.ClientRectangle);
Clearing the Clipping Rectangle
When you no longer require the clipping you should remove it. To do so, set the Clip property value to Rectangle.Empty, as follows:
Cursor.Clip = Rectangle.Empty;

Olympic National Park Asked to Buy Out Mining Claims
 Olympic National Park continues to remain in the news over land-management issues. Earlier this fall the park made headlines when an Indian tribe closed access to a national park trail and a beach within the park in protest over stalled negotiations to find land that could accommodate the tribe's village, which is in a tsunami zone.
 Now three brothers who own rights to deposits of gold, platinum, oil and natural gas beneath the park's Shi Shi Beach are threatening to sell those rights to mining interests unless the National Park Service agrees to buy them for $30 million. An agent for the family told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that the mineral deposits and oil and gas are worth a combined $2 billion.
 Park officials, whose total budget for 2004 amounted to just $10 million, say they are trying to determine the value of the claims that the brothers' grandfather bought in 1928.

Objective: To report our experience with magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in pregnant women suspected of having obstructing upper tract calculi. The diagnosis of an upper tract calculus in the pregnant woman can be challenging. Recent evidence suggests that MRU can be used to effectively evaluate renal colic. Methods: From 2008-2011, 9 pregnant women were referred for evaluation of suspected renal colic caused by an obstructing upper tract stone. All patients underwent MRU with a half Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) protocol. Medical records and imaging studies were reviewed for demographic and clinical data as well as outcome measures. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 25 years (range 20-34); average gestational age of the fetus was 23 weeks (range 9-36). In all cases, a renal ultrasound was the initial imaging study obtained, with nondiagnostic findings. HASTE MRU detected 4 ureteral stones and 4 cases of physiological hydronephrosis of pregnancy. In one case, interpretation of the MRU was limited as a result of patient motion. Of the patients with obstructing stones, 1 required endourologic management during her pregnancy and 3 were followed conservatively. No adverse events related to MRU occurred. Conclusion: HASTE MRU is an informative imaging study for pregnant women with suspected upper tract stone disease. Information gathered from this study augments that gained from alternative modalities, and aids in medical decision-making. The lack of ionizing radiation exposure, coupled with the capture of detailed anatomic imaging, makes HASTE MRU a particularly useful study in this setting.

The Effect of Exploration Intensity on Analysts' Forecasts
This study examines the relations between the intensity of reported exploration activity by mining and exploration companies and analysts' private information search activities and their forecast accuracy. Under Australian accounting standards, firms can either record exploration expenditure as an expense as it is incurred, or as an exploration asset (i.e., exploration expenditure is capitalised). The accounting choice for exploration expenditure could have potential impact on analysts' forecasts. It also examines the relations under the different accounting treatment for exploration expenditure.
This study examines whether greater intensity of exploration activity motivates analysts to acquire and process relatively more private information to meet investor demand and whether this affects the accuracy of analysts' consensus forecast. It also examines whether the capitalisation of exploration expenditure can reduce uncertainty analysts have about the future economic outcomes of exploration investments, and improve the accuracy of their forecasts.
The study finds that the proportion of private information contained in analysts' forecasts increases with the intensity of exploration activity. We also find that the accuracy of analysts' consensus forecast improves with the intensity of exploration activity. The results are robust for firms choosing to capitalise their exploration expenditure.
Using the extractive industry as a specific setting, this study evaluates the role of analysts in moderating high information asymmetry exhibited in this industry. The findings are useful to investors and academics because it addresses how accounting matters when investing.

While compact laser-driven ion accelerators are seeding the development of novel high instantaneous flux applications, combining the ultrashort ion and laser pulse durations with their inherent synchronicity to trace the real-time evolution of initial damage events has yet to be realized. Here we report on the absolute measurement of proton bursts as short as 3.5±0.7 ps from laser solid target interactions for this purpose. Our results verify that laser-driven ion acceleration can deliver interaction times over a factor of hundred shorter than those of state-of-the-art accelerators optimized for high instantaneous flux. Furthermore, these observations draw ion interaction physics into the field of ultrafast science, opening the opportunity for quantitative comparison with both numerical modelling and the adjacent fields of ultrafast electron and photon interactions in matter.


How to Transfer Apps to New Android from old Android Device
In this article we will learn how to transfer the apps to a new android device from an old android device. The methods will tell how to transfer apps from android in built feature and restore feature. Or maybe using the Samsung smart switch mobile app if you already have it on your device. Therefore, in the instructions we cover the Android pie 9.0, Oreo 8.0, Nougat 7.0 and android devices from all the manufacturers.
Transfer apps to a new android phone using the Android backup and restoring feature
The simplest method to transfer your apps from android to android. It is by backing up your old device, and restoring the function on the new phone. Firstly, you need see if your new device is backing up your data or not, to do so you have to:
 1. Go on to the Settings.
 2. Tap on the System by scrolling down.
 3. Select the Backup option (You might have to expand the Advanced section before that).
 4. Check and see if the toggle of the Back up to Google Drive is on, if you see it is on then you are ready!
 5. If the toggle is off then slide it to make it on and Back up now.
 6. Hence, you are all set after the backup is complete.
Restoring your data to the new phone
Now you are all set to restore the data to your new android phone from the old one through this method. However, if you have not yet restored your data you can now restore it including all the apps during this process.
 1. Make sure to charge your new android device and power it up. Follow the instructions from the screen till it asks you to restore the data from another device. However, you can always opt to start it as a brand-new clean slate, but restoring some data will be helpful for you in the future.
 2. Tap on the Copy Your Data and select the device from which you have to restore the data.
 3. Then your android device will ask you to connect to a Wi-Fi network. Be sure that you connected to the same network as your old device is.
 4. Now you will be seeing the restore option on the screen of your phone. Select either A Back up from an android phone or A Back up from the cloud or drive.
 5. Use your old phone only and sign into your google account.
 6. Here you will see the list of the options to back up including your old device.
 7. Now choose the right one or correct one and tap Restore. So that you can transfer all the data and setting from your old device. Tap on the Apps you wish to transfer from your old device to your new device.
 8. Hence, now you can continue with your setting up process, while your data is restoring in the background.
Use the Samsung Smart Switch mobile App
Therefore, if you have a Samsung S7 or other version, then smart switch app is already in that in your device, for your old device you can download this app from the app store. And then follow the instructions from the screen and download it. You can select this app to transfer your data from any android phone which has android marshmallow 6.0 to a Samsung phone.
Therefore, to get into the app on S7 or later version, tap on Settings > Accounts > Smart switch, for any different phone look in the app drawer for the app.
There are three ways which you can use with Smart Switch: USB cable, Wirelessly, or external storage. The most straightforward method is transferring the apps wirelessly.
 1. Open Smart Switch on your new device.
 2. Choose Wireless > Receive > Android.
 3. Now open Smart Switch on your old phone.
 4. Tap on Wireless > Send.
 5. Follow the screen instructions on your new phone.
From the USB cable
 1. Plug in the USB of your old device.
 2. Now connect that cable to the Samsung USB connector.
 3. Here you will now plug in the Samsung USB connector into your new device.
 4. Open Smart Switch on your old device.
 5. On your old phone adjust the USB settings to Media Device (MTP).
 6. Follow the screen instructions to move the apps.
Using the external storage (SD card)
Insert the SD card or connect your phone to the USB storage device in which you have the apps for restoring. And follow the instructions on the screen.
Samsung also provides the Smart Switch app for Mac. and Windows, installs and opens the desktop app and then connects the phone to the computer. Therefore, now follow the screen instructions to transfer the apps and the data right from the device you want it to.
Some considerations:
For the other apps that are not from Google, you will have to recheck if they are backing up the Google drive. However, it can be helpful especially if you want to save the chat history, usually, the popular apps have this. Your data will only sync properly if you sign in to all your Google devices. If you wish to save the bookmarks and the password then you have to be signed in to all the Google devices. Go on to the browser setting in sign-in from there if you have not signed in already. Therefore, this is how you will share apps from android to android.
Frequently Asked Question
Q. How do I transfer apps from old phone to new android?
A. Launch the Google Play Store. Tap the menu icon, then tap "My apps and games." You'll be shown a list of apps that were on your old phone. Pick the ones you want to migrate (you might not want to move brand-specific or carrier-specific apps from the old phone to the new), and download them
Q. How do I transfer everything to my new Android phone?
A. Switch to a new Android phone
 1. Charge both phones.
 2. Make sure you can unlock the old phone with a PIN, pattern, or password.
Q. Is there an app to transfer data from Android to Android?
A. Samsung Smart Switch
It allows the transfer of the data between any two Android devices (Lenovo, HTC, Motorola, etc.). The app can also transfer data between two Android devices through the SD card even

Ethnic Anklet Tutorial on How to Make an Anklet with String and Beads
Summary: In this article, I will show you how to make an anklet with string and bead. As you can see from the picture, this is an ethnic anklet with beads. It's also easy to make, let's check the details.
Anklet is especially popular during summer. You can wear on your feet when go to the beach or just go out shopping or something else. In order to create an ethnic anklet, I chose some handmade lampwork beads and glass beads to start. Now follow me to learn how to make it.
Supplies in the ethnic anklet DIY:
Instructions on making the ethnic beaded anklet:
Step 1: Attach lampwork bead
1st, snip off a long black elastic string, and tie a knot with nylon thread as a starting point;
2nd, cross the elastic string through the lampwork bead's hole and tie the other end tightly to the elastic string.
Step 2: Add beads to the string
1st, thread a good seed bead, a bead and a seed bead to a short nylon string;
2nd, tie it to the elastic string and trim off the excess;
3rd, thread a gold seed bead to a long nylon string and tie to the starting point.
Step 3: Bead the main part
1st, thread black glass beads and gold seed beads alternatively and until you finally reach the bead and tie the thread to the elastic string in the same place as the bead;
2nd, snip off 2 black nylon threads and thread beads as the previous thread, and then tie ends on the elastic string;
3rd, attach 2 beads on the string.
Step 4: Finish the anklet
1st, prepare a short chain, 2 cord endings and a lobster clasp;
2nd, attach 2 cord endings to the string;
3rd,connet the anklet with chain and lobster clasp.
Just look at my handmade anklet! I love it and I wore it on my feet immediately.
Making an ethnic anklet at home is a meaningful thing instead of lying in bed playing cellphone. The supplies in this easy DIY project are simple too, making it easier for both green hands and professional jewelry makers. There are many other anklet designs on this site, just check what you like.


was zero, day 0 was defined as the previous business day at the same time.
In 6.xx, if the check fails, and $timecheck is non-zero, the behavior is the same as before. If $timecheck is zero, day 0 is defined as the next business day at the same time.
So day 0 is now always the same, where before, day 0 meant two different things depending on whether $timecheck was zero or not.
(*) Default time
In Date::Manip 5.xx, the default times for dates was handled in an inconsistent manner. In the Date::Manip::Date documentation, if you parse a date from the "Common date formats" section, in Date::Manip 5.xx, if no time was included, it defaulted to "00:00:00". If you parsed a date from the "Less common formats" section, the default time was the current time.
So running a program on Jun 5, 2009 at noon that parsed the following dates gave the following return values:
 Jun 12 => Jun 12, 2009 at 00:00:00
 next week => Jun 12, 2009 at 12:00:00
This behavior is changed and now relies on the config variable DefaultTime. If DefaultTime is "curr", the default time for any date which includes no information about the time is the current time. Otherwise, the default time is midnight.
%z format
In Date::Manip 5.xx, the %z format would give an offset in the form: -0500. Now it gives it in the form: -05:00:00
Dropped mixed style delta parsing
In Date::Manip 5.xx, a parsed delta could be written in the delta style
or in a language-specific expanded form:
 1 hour 2 minutes 3 seconds
or in a mixed form:
 1 hour 2:3
The mixed form has been dropped since I doubt that it sees much use in real life, and by dropping the mixed form, the parsing is much simpler.
Approximate date/date calculations
In Date::Manip 5.xx, the approximate delta between the two dates:
 Jan 10 1996 noon
 Jan 7 1998 noon
was +1:11:4:0:0:0:0 (or 1 year, 11 months, 4 weeks). As of Date::Manip 6.00, the delta is +2:0:-0:3:0:0:0 (or 2 years minus 3 days). Although this leads to mixed-sign deltas, it is actually how more people would think about the delta. It has the additional advantage of being MUCH easier and faster to calculate.
Approximate relationships in deltas
When printing parts of deltas in Date::Manip::5.xx, the approximate relationship of 1 year = 365.25 days was used. This is the correct value for the Julian calendar, but for the Gregorian calendar, a better value is _PHONE_, and this is used in version 6.00.
Old style formats
The formats used in the printf command are slightly different than in the old Delta_Format command.
The old formats are described in the Date::Manip::DM5 manual, and the new ones are in the Date::Manip::Delta manual.
The new formats are much more flexible and I encourage you to switch over, however at this point, the old style formats are officially supported for the Delta_Format command.
At some point, the old style formats may be deprecated (and removed at some point beyond that), but for now, they are not.
The old formats are NOT available using the printf method.
The day field meaning changed in a few recurrences
The value of the day field can refer to several different things including the day of week number (Monday=1 to Sunday=7), day of month (1-31), day of year (1-366), etc.
In Date::Manip 5.xx, it could also refer to the nth day of the week (i.e. 1 being the 1st day of the week, -1 being the last day of the week). This meaning is no longer used in 6.xx.
For example, the recurrence:
referred to the 3rd occurrence of the 4th day of the week in February.
The meaning has been changed to refer to the 3rd occurrence of day 4 (Thursday) in February. This is a much more useful type of recurrence.
As a result of this change, the related recurrence:
is invalid. Negative numbers may be used to refer to the nth day of the week, but NOT when referring to the day of week numbers.
Recurrence range now inclusive
Previously, the list of dates implied by the recurrence were on or after the start date, but before the end date.
This has been changed so that the dates may be on or before the end date.
Dropped support for a couple English recurrences
Date::Manip 5.xx claimed support for a recurrence:
 every 2nd day in June [1997]
In actuality, this recurrence is not practical to calculate. It requires a base date which might imply June 1,3,5,... in 1997 but June 2,4,6 in 1998.
In addition, the recurrence does not fit the mold for other recurrences that are an approximate distance apart. This type of recurrence has a number of closely spaced events with 11-month gaps between groups.
I no longer consider this a valid recurrence and support is now dropped for this string.
I also dropped the following for a similar reason:
 every 6th Tuesday [in 1999]
Other minor recurrence changes
Previously, ParseRecur would supply default dates if the start or end were missing. This is no longer done.
The Date::Manip module contains the same functions that Date::Manip 5.xx had (though the OO modules do all the work now). In general, the routines behave the same as before with the following exceptions:
Previously, Date_ConvTZ took 1 to 4 arguments and used the local time zone and the ConvTZ config variable to fill in missing arguments.
Now, the Date_ConvTZ function only supports a 3 argument call:
If $from is not given, it defaults to the local time zone. If $to is not given, it defaults to the local time zone.
The optional 4th argument ($errlevel) is no longer supported. If there is an error, an empty string is returned.
In Date::Manip 5.xx, it was recommended that you pass arguments to ParseDate or ParseDateDelta. This is not recommended with 6.00 since it is much more intelligent about handling the arguments, and you'll just end up parsing the date/delta twice.

I have set up landed costs and created my first transaction. The bill that landed costs were applied to seems correct:
Landed Cost Bill.JPG
My question is that the account where the landed cost expenses hit, now shows a negative balance in the amount of the costs that were applied, $3,408.25 and this is coming from the bill from our freight forwarder, Gallagher Transport:

Thank you MaryAnne. I have gone through then entire process of creating the bill for the import expense, applied these expenses to the bill that contains the product using the "Calculate Landed Cost" button on the bill for the product, and paid both bills. All seemed to function as expected, except that now we have this balance in the "Inventory Offset Account" and I cannot trace where this comes from:
Inventory Landed Cost Account Detail.JPG
The yellow cells are the expenses that were entered under the bill for freight and are resulting in a negative balance in this account. How can I trace where these expenses are coming from as I don't think that neither the freight bill or the product bill point to this account.

Hi _USER_,
Thank you for your prompt reply, as well as sharing an update on your current status.
The Inventory Offset account is a liability account. It's generated by QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) when you enable the Enhanced Inventory Receiving feature.
You can run a custom report to reconcile it, which isolates the negative amount you stated earlier.
Here's how:
 1. Go to the Reports menu.
 2. Highlight Customer Reports.
 3. Select Transaction Detail.
 4. Move to the Filters tab.
 5. Choose Account and set it to Inventory Offset.
 - From the Display tab, set Date Range to All.
 - Under columns, tick the box on Item.
 - Pick Vendor from the Total By drop-down menu.
 - Click Item from the Sort By drop-down menu.

As the walk along Long Meadow to Eastcote Gardens is popular with many Pinner Residents you may be interested to hear about the Backwater project by the River Pinn currently being implemented by Hillingdon Council:
London Borough of Hillingdon has received funding from Big Green Fund to create two backwaters on the River Pinn, on areas where a meander and a backwater used to be in the past. It is also proposed re-profiling a small section of steep river bank by the footbridge to create a safe and gradual approach to the river.
The works will be undertaken as a partnership between LBHillingdon, Groundwork, Green Corridor, the Friends of Eastcote House Garden, Eastcote Resident's Association and River Pinn Volunteers.
Benefits of the Backwaters include:
- It will improve the ecological value of the land and provide a new and important wetland area for amphibians and aquatic invertebrates.
- Pre planted coir rolls will be installed to encourage marginal vegetation and purification of water.
- It will create additional offstream flood storage potential.
- Scrub and tree management would open river views and overgrown swims. Openings along the river would be aesthetically pleasing.
- Open river views and well managed paths would contribute to the general landscape of the site.
