Detect and Fix Task Overruns on Arduino Hardware
You can configure a Simulink® model running on the target hardware to detect and notify you when a task overrun occurs. A task overrun occurs if the target hardware is still performing one instance of a task when the next instance of that task is scheduled to begin. You can fix overruns by decreasing the frequency with which tasks are scheduled to run, and/or by reducing the number of tasks defined by your model.
To enable overrun detection:
 1. Click the Tools menu in the model, and select Run on Target Hardware > Options.
 2. In the Hardware Implementation pane that opens, select the Overrun detection > Enable overrun detection check box.
 3. Use the Digital output to set on overrun parameter to specify the pin number of a digital output.
 4. Click OK.
To create a visual overrun indicator for your board, connect an appropriate resistor in series with an LED between the GND and the hardware pin specified by the Digital output to set on overrun parameter. Orient the LED so the longer leg (positive) is connected to the digital output pin.
When a task overrun occurs:
 - The state of the digital output pin specified by the Digital output to set on overrun parameter changes from low (0 Volts) to high (5 Volts).
 - The model continues running, but the effective sample time will be longer than specified.
To fix an overrun condition, reduce the processing burden of the model by applying one or more of the following solutions:
 - Increase the sample times for the model. For example, increase the values of the Sample time parameters in all of your data source blocks.
 - Simplify the model.
If you are using External mode, and the preceding solutions do not fix the task overrun condition, consider disabling External mode. External mode adds a lightweight server to the model running on the target hardware. This server increases the processing burden upon the target hardware, which can contribute to a task overrun condition.


Emacs: Manage Split Windows
,, …,
This page is a tutorial on managing split windows in emacs.
First, know the basics:
PurposeCommand NameKey
split top/bottomsplit-window-belowCtrl+x 2
split left/rightsplit-window-rightCtrl+x 3
unsplit alldelete-other-windowsCtrl+x 1
remove current panedelete-windowCtrl+x 0
cycle cursor to next paneother-windowCtrl+x o
wildly split emacs screen
Wildly split emacs screen. From top to bottom: calendar, Unicode, shell, hex editing mode, HTML mode, file management, calculator.
Note: in emacs, a "window" is technically called a "frame", while a pane in a split window is called "window".
Adjusting Split Pane Size
You can adjust the split pane size by dragging on the mode line bar in the middle. For windows split left/right, drag the status bar at the split point.
Or, you can use keys. Here's the commands:
enlarge-windowCtrl+x ^increase height
shrink-windowdecrease height
enlarge-window-horizontallyCtrl+x }increase width
shrink-window-horizontallyCtrl+x {decrease width
shrink-window-if-larger-than-bufferCtrl+x -shrink a window to fit its content.
balance-windowsCtrl+x + make all windows same width/height
Most of these commands also take a argument. You can call universal-argumentCtrl+u】 first then type a number. If you use these commands often, you probably want to give them a easier key. 〔☛ Emacs: How to Define Keys
Save Split-window Config for Current Session
winner-mode lets you revert to a previous pane configuration. (in emacs 23.2 () or later)
Example use:
 1. Call winner-mode to turn it on.
 2. Call split-window-vertically.
 3. Call split-window-horizontally.
 4. Now, remove all split panes by calling delete-other-windows.
 5. Now, you can go back to previous split pane config by calling winner-undoCtrl+c 】. There's also winner-redoCtrl+c 】.
If you want this functionality always, put in your emacs init file:
;; ability to revert split pane config. Call winner-undo 【Ctrl+c ←】 and winner-redo 【Ctrl+c →】
(winner-mode 1) ; in GNU emacs 23.2
Save Split-Window Config
You can save split-window config to register, like this:
Note: this doesn't work when you restart emacs, even if you have desktop-save-mode on.
Save Split-window Config Across Sessions
Use revive.el by HIROSE Yuuji. It's in emacs MELPA package repository. 〔☛ Emacs 24 Packages (ELPA) Tutorial
First, install it. Then, call save-current-configuration. It'll generate a file at ~/.revive.el.
To restore, call resume.
Swap Buffers Among Panes
If you want to swap buffers among your current split panes, install buffer-move.el by Lucas Bonnet. It's in emacs package repository MELPA 〔☛ Emacs 24 Packages (ELPA) Tutorial 〕.
(thx to Mark Hepburn and John D Cook)
Flow Buffer Side-by-Side
See: Emacs: You Have Widescreen? Have Screen Flow Side by Side
Move Cursor to Different Panes by Arrow
By default, you can move cursor to the next pane by calling other-windowCtrl+x o】. The default key is hard to use. Also, there's no key to move cursor to previous pane.
You can put the following in your emacs init file. It'll let you move cursor by {【⇧ Shift+】, 【⇧ Shift+】, 【⇧ Shift+】, 【⇧ Shift+】}.
However, you'll lose shift select.
;; use Shift+arrow_keys to move cursor around split panes
;; when cursor is on edge, move to the other side, as in a toroidal space
(setq windmove-wrap-around t )
Move Cursor to Previous Pane
alternatively, you can put the following in your emacs init file:
(defun move-cursor-next-pane ()
 "Move cursor to the next pane."
 (other-window 1))
(defun move-cursor-previous-pane ()
 "Move cursor to the previous pane."
 (other-window -1))
You can give them easy keys, such as {【Ctrl+3】, 【Ctrl+4】}. 〔☛ Emacs: How to Define Keys

 1. Pull up on the blue safety lever. The lever can rest as shown to keep the gripping cam open.
PYTHON Pontoon Fender Hanger
2. Insert the rope and position as desired.
PYTHON Pontoon Fender Hanger
3. Flip the blue safety lever back down to allow the cam to grip the rope.
To shorten the rope distance, simply pull on the rope. The rope will stay secure and lock back into place. To extend the distance or release the rope, pull on the rope to remove tension and then rotate the cam to release the rope.
Ropes under tension can hold dangerous amounts of energy and may cause injury or property damage. Use caution and remove rope tension before releasing the rope.

Objectives Accurate and stable extrinsic parameter calibrations are the basis of fusing perception and positioning of cameras and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). To address the problems of the Dhall calibration method in constraint accuracy, stability, and convergence, this paper proposed a LiDAR and camera calibration method with joint point-line-plane constraints.
Methods First, line-line and plane-plane constraints were added, and the Kabsch method was used to obtain a closed-form solution, which reduced the influence of noise in the single corner constraint and improved the accuracy and stability of the calibration results. Then, multi-frame point clouds were superimposed to fit lines, and the fitting corners were averaged, which further reduced the influence of the point cloud noise, thus improving the convergence speed and stability of the calibration method.
Results Experimental results show that the proposed method can converge within 20 frames, and the reprojection error of the corner points was less than 2 cm.
Conclusions The proposed method has faster convergence speed and higher accuracy than the original method.

4.8.1 Conditionalized Code
This section describes how to conditionalize OpenVMS code when migrating to I64. This code will be compiled for both Alpha and I64, or for VAX, Alpha, and I64. The symbol ALPHA, referred to in the following sections, is new. However, the symbol EVAX has not been eliminated. You do not need to replace EVAX with ALPHA but feel free to do so if convenient. The architecture symbols available for MACRO and BLISS are VAX, EVAX, ALPHA, and I64. MACRO Sources
For Macro-32 source files, the architecture symbols are in ARCH_DEFS.MAR, which is a prefix file specified on the command line. On Alpha, ALPHA and EVAX equal 1 while VAX and I64 are undefined. On I64, I64 equals 1 while VAX, EVAX, and ALPHA are undefined.
The following example show how to conditionalize Macro-32 source code so that it can run on both Alpha and I64 systems.
For Alpha-specific code:
For I64-specific code:
.IF DF I64
For BLISS source files, either BLISS-32 or BLISS-64, the macros VAX, EVAX, ALPHA and I64 are defined in ARCH_DEFS.REQ. On Alpha, EVAX and ALPHA equal 1 while VAX and I64 equal 0. On I64, I64 equals 1 while VAX, EVAX, and ALPHA equal 0. You must require ARCH_DEFS.REQ to use these symbols in BLISS conditionals.
The constructs %BLISS(xxx), %TARGET(xxx), and %HOST(xxx) are not recommended. Do not feel obligated to replace them, but feel free to do so if convenient.
Include the following statement in your source file:
Use the following statements in your source file to conditionalize code so that it can run on both Alpha and I64 systems.
For Alpha-specific code:
%if ALPHA %then
For I64-specific code:
%if I64 %then
%fi C Sources
For C source files, the symbols __alpha, __ALPHA, __ia64, and __ia64__ are provided by the compilers on the appropriate platforms. Note that symbols could be defined on the compile command line but that is not the recommended method, nor is using arch_defs.h. Using _TAG_ is considered the standard C programming practice.
For Alpha-specific code, use the following:
_TAG_ __alpha
For I64-specific code, use the following:
_TAG_ __ia64
_TAG_ Existing Conditionalized Code
Existing conditionalized code must be examined to determine whether changes are required. Here is an example of BLISS code to consider.
If the code is truly architecture specific and you are adding I64 code, then you would add the following case:
However, if the existing VAX/EVAX conditionals really reflect 32 bits and not 64 bits or an "old" versus "new" OpenVMS convention (for example, a promoted data structure or different routine to call), then the following method for conditionalizing code might be more appropriate. That is because Alpha and I64 code are the same and 64-bit code need to be distinguished from the VAX code.
4.8.2 System Services With Alpha Architecture Dependencies
Certain system services that work well in applications on OpenVMS Alpha do not port successfully to I64. The following sections describe system services and their replacement services. SYS$GOTO_UNWIND
For OpenVMS Alpha, the SYS$GOTO_UNWIND system service accepts a 32-bit invocation context handle by reference. You must change instances of this system service to SYS$GOTO_UNWIND_64, which accepts a 64-bit invocation context. Make sure to alter source code to allocate space for the 64-bit value. Also, different library routines return invocation context handles for OpenVMS I64. For more information, refer to the HP OpenVMS Calling Standard.
SYS$GOTO_UNWIND is most frequently used to support programming language features, so changes are mostly in compilers or run-time libraries. However, any direct use of SYS$GOTO_UNWIND requires change. SYS$LKWSET and SYS$LKWSET_64
The SYS$LKWSET and SYS$LKWSET_64 system services have been modified. For more information, see Section 4.8.9.
4.8.3 Code With Other Dependencies on the Alpha Architecture
This section describes coding practices on Alpha that produce different results on I64 and may require changes to your application. Initialized Overlaid Program Sections
Initialized overlaid program sections are handled differently on I64 systems. On OpenVMS Alpha systems, different portions of an overlaid program section may be initialized by multiple modules. This is not allowed on OpenVMS I64 systems. For more information about this change in behavior, see Section Condition Handlers Use of SS$_HPARITH
On OpenVMS Alpha, SS$_HPARITH is signaled for a number of arithmetic error conditions. On OpenVMS I64, SS$_HPARITH is never signaled for arithmetic error conditions; instead, the more specialized SS$_FLTINV and SS$_FLTDIV error codes are signaled on OpenVMS I64.
Update condition handlers to detect these more specialized error codes. In order to keep code common for both architectures, wherever the code refers to SS$_HPARITH, extend it for OpenVMS I64 to also consider SS$_FLTINV and SS$_FLTDIV. Mechanism Array Data Structure
The mechanism array data structure on OpenVMS I64 is very different from the one on OpenVMS Alpha. The return status code RETVAL has been extended to represent the return status register on both Alpha and I64 platforms. For more information, refer to the HP OpenVMS Calling Standard. Reliance on Alpha Object File Format
If your code relies on the layout of Alpha object files, you will need to modify it, because the object file format produced on OpenVMS I64 systems is different.
The object file format conforms to the 64-bit version of the executable and linkable format (ELF), as described in the System V Application Binary Interface draft of 24 April 2001. This document, published by Caldera, is available on their web site at:
The object file format also conforms to the I64 specific extensions described in the Intel® Itanium® Processor-specific Application Binary Interface (ABI), May 2001 edition (document number 245270-003). Extensions and restrictions, necessary to support object file and image file features that are specific to the OpenVMS operating system, will be published in a future release.
The portion of an image which is used by the debugger conforms to the DWARF Version 3 industry standard, which is available at the following location:
The debug symbol table representation on OpenVMS I64 is the industry-standard DWARF debug symbol table format described at this location. HP extensions to the DWARF Version 3 format will be published in a future release.
4.8.4 Code that Uses Floating-Point Data Types
OpenVMS Alpha supports VAX floating-point data types and IEEE floating point data types in hardware. OpenVMS I64 supports IEEE floating-point in hardware and VAX floating-point data types in software.
Most of the OpenVMS I64 compilers provide the /FLOAT=D_FLOAT and /FLOAT=G_FLOAT qualifiers to enable you to produce VAX floating-point data types. If you do not specify one of these qualifiers, IEEE floating-point data types will be used.
to specify a default floating-point data types using the I64 BASIC compiler, you use the /REAL_SIZE qualifer.The possible values that can be specified are SINGLE (Ffloat), DOUBLE (Dfloat), GFLOAT, SFLOAT, TFLOAT, and XFLOAT.
You can test an application's behavior with IEEE floating-point values on Alpha by compiling it with an IEEE qualifier on OpenVMS Alpha. If that produces acceptable results, you can build the application on an I64 system using the same qualifier.
When you compile an OpenVMS application that specifies an option to use VAX floating-point on I64, the compiler automatically generates code for converting floating-point formats. Whenever the application performs a sequence of arithmetic operations, this code does the following:
 1. Converts VAX floating-point formats to either IEEE single or IEEE double floating-point formats, as appropriate for the length.
 2. Performs arithmetic operations in IEEE floating-point arithmetic.
Where no arithmetic operations are performed (VAX float fetches followed by stores), conversions do not occur. The code handles such situations as moves.
 - Values of numbers represented
 - Rounding rules
 - Exception behavior
These differences might cause problems for certain applications.
For more information about the differences between floating-point data types on OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64 and how these differences might affect ported applications, see Chapter 5 and refer to the "OpenVMS Floating-Point Arithmetic on the Intel® Itanium® Architecture" white paper. See the Related Documents section in the Preface for the web location of this white paper.
Since the floating-point white paper was written, the default /IEEE_MODE has changed from FAST to DENORM_RESULTS. This means that, by default, floating-point operations might silently generate values that print as Infinity or Nan (the industry-standard behavior) instead of issuing a fatal run-time error as they would using VAX format float or /IEEE_MODE=FAST. Also, the smallest-magnitude nonzero value in this mode is much smaller because results are permitted to enter

Dear Sirs, 2008
Nintendo DS, custom coded game, R4 card
Dear Sirs is a mobile poem—a workplace related resignation poem and marking of time using mesostics and numeric references to embed secret locative information within the poem on a Nintendo DS. Dear Sirs is a part of a series of works that are all interactive game like poems that exploit the relationship between the user, the hardware, the physicality of the user and the interface. Through visuals, text and interaction the poems circumvent and explore poetic/textual conventions and human empathy in a technological context. The participant is required to mark time along with the poet in order to experience the poem. For each stroke on the touch screen with the stylus—one letter of the poem is sequentially revealed. Referencing the famous poem "What you say" by John Cage, this work uses mesostics and embedded numbers to reveal a location—both virtual and physical, and a rejection of participation in problematic systems.

inverse femtobarn
The inverse femtobarn (fb−1) is a measurement of particle-collision events per femtobarn; a measure of both the collision number and the amount of data collected.
One inverse femtobarn corresponds to approximately 100 trillion (1012) proton-proton collisions. Over a period of time, two streams of particles with a cross-sectional area, measured in femtobarns, are directed to collide. The total number of collisions is directly proportional to the luminosity of the collisions measured over this time.
Calculate the collision count by multiplying the integrated luminosity by the sum of the cross-section for those collision processes. This count is then expressed as inverse femtobarns for the time period (100 fb−1 in nine months).
Note: Do not use inverse femtobarn in the public section of the website where it can be avoided - it is unnecessarily technical. Convert to approximate numbers of collisions instead.

Quick Answer: Is Styrofoam Good For Plants?
Can you put Styrofoam in the bottom of a planter?
Adding a few inches of foam peanuts or chunks in the bottom of the container reduces the amount of soil needed to fill the planter.
Also, the foam keeps soil from washing out of the drainage holes while assisting with drainage by keeping the soil from compacting at the bottom of the pot..
Can styrofoam be toxic?
Toxicity: Styrofoam is considered non-toxic when eaten. Expected symptoms: No symptoms are anticipated when a piece of styrofoam is accidentally ingested, but large pieces can cause choking.
Should I add perlite to my soil?
Adding perlite to potting soil is a good way to ensure the container garden drains well while also creating a light, fluffy soil for your plants. Container plants should be planted in a light, well-draining, nutritious soil mix.
Will Styrofoam kill plants?
Will Styrofoam absorb water?
Also question is, does Styrofoam soak up water? No. However, water can work its way through the foam under pressure or by gravity force. When the foam is placed on water it will float and upon removal it will not contain any water and it does not lose any of its insulating properties.
How do you get water out of Styrofoam?
The waterlogged Styrofoam can be repaired by drying in high sunlight, but it is cheap and more effective to simply replace the Styrofoam.Take the Styrofoam out of the cover, or from the area in which it has been overexposed to water. … Lay the Styrofoam out in a dry and sunny area, and allow it to sit for several days.More items…
Can you seal Styrofoam?
If you need to use a paint that's not Styrofoam friendly, you must first cover/seal the Styrofoam. … A perfect covering is done by applying the cover/seal in a thin layer and letting it dry. Then sand off any rough spots until the surface is perfect again. Then cover with another coat, let dry, and sand again.
Does Styrofoam leach into food?
Studies show that styrene, a likely carcinogen, can leach from StyrofoamTM cups and containers when heated. Never put hot food/drink into StyrofoamTM containers, and never microwave StyrofoamTM (or any other plastic) products!
How do you make homemade perlite?
Mix equal parts of dry cement, sphagnum peat moss and perlite in a bucket or other container. Measure each ingredient by volume instead of by weight, so if you measure with a dry scoop, use an equal number of scoops of each ingredient.
Can I use rice instead of perlite?
PBH rice hulls are proven alternative to perlite. In recent years, as greenhouse growers have embraced sustainability and looked for feasible ways to reduce production costs, the use of parboiled rice hulls in greenhouse growing media has become a popular substitute for perlite.
How do you dispose of Styrofoam packing?
Can you grow plants in Styrofoam?
You can grow garden vegetables in most containers, but polystyrene boxes – like the ones you see at the fruit and veg shop – are ideal. They're light, easy to manage, and the foam helps insulate the roots. Use deep boxes to give your vegies plenty of space to grow their roots.
Can I use Styrofoam instead of perlite?
This is okay for potted plants, but if using in garden soil, it's just adding plastic to the environment and it isn't safe. Styrofoam is NOT a substitute for Perlite. It is NOT a naturally occurring substance and does NOT decompose.
What can you use Styrofoam for?
Ways to Reuse Styrofoam Packing PeanutsReuse as Packing Peanuts. There's no reason why styrofoam peanuts can't be reused as what they were made for before! … Stuffing. … Alternative to Ice. … Plant Pot Fillers. … Tighten Loose Screws. … Christmas Tree Tinsel.
Is it OK to use Styrofoam peanuts in planters?
It is not recommended to use Styrofoam peanuts for potted plants now, because they may break down in water and soil, leaving you with sunken in containers. … If pieces begin to dissolve in the water, do not use them in the bottom of pots.
How long does it take for styrofoam to decompose in water?
Non-Biodegradable Pollutant It is unknown how long it takes for polystyrene to biodegrade. Some experts estimate the decomposition of Styrofoam to 500 years, with limited recycling options.
Is Styrofoam safe for hydroponics?
The short answer is yes; Styrofoam can be used in hydroponics without danger as it relates to the makeup of the styrene product.
What are the little white balls in potting soil?
Perlite used in soil resembles tiny white plastic foam balls, but it's actually a naturally occurring volcanic glass. When processed for use in potting soil, perlite is heated to 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit, so that it puffs like popcorn. When it puffs up, it expands to several times its original volume.


Largest Art Gallery in the Universe
The largest art gallery
The Louvre in Paris is the largest art gallery museum in the world. The building began as a twelfth-century fortress and became a museum at the time of the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century.
Housed in the Louvre are some of the world's most outstanding artworks, including the Mona Lisa. Visitors number over nine-million per year. If you visit the Louvre, you will be overwhelmed by the enormous building and the vast number of paintings and statues.
Similarly, as we look at the enormous universe around us, we are overwhelmed by the galaxies, stars, and planets–and the life we see on this planet. Rice Broocks, in his book "God's Not Dead," writes, "There is evidence for an intelligent Creator everywhere you look. To say that there is no evidence for this Creator is like saying the thousands of paintings in an art museum couldn't have been painted because there are no artists visible in the gallery."
Nobody would visit the Louvre and make such a ridiculous statement. How can anyone look at the amazingly complex universe and not recognize that they are seeing the largest art gallery displaying the work of the greatest Artist? Some examples are butterfly wings, colors, structural color, and beauty in Earth's diversity. The largest art gallery in the universe is the universe.

I have a db and want to know if it contains any spatial tables. Is there a table in SQL Server that holds spatial metadata i.e. a list of all the spatial tables in the current db? Oracle has the user_sdo_geom_metadata, Postgis the geometry_columns. What about SQL Server? The only spatial metadata I found was the sys.spatial_references.

You can always resort to querying the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES and COLUMNS dictionaries to find out if there are tables that are spatially enabled.
share|improve this answer
Further to unicoletti's answer, here is a SQL query that will list spatial tables and their geometry columns:
 from information_schema.columns c join
 information_schema.tables t ON c.TABLE_NAME = t.TABLE_NAME
 AND t.TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' where c.DATA_TYPE = 'geometry'
 order by c.TABLE_SCHEMA, c.TABLE_NAME
If you're looking for geography columns change the geometry to geography in the query.
Also bear in mind a single table can have several spatial columns so it will appear twice in the query.
share|improve this answer
The "appear twice in the query" issue can be solved by removing "c.COLUMN_NAME as COLUMN_NAME" from the query, and changing "select" to "select distinct". Also, to get tables that have either spatial type or both, the WHERE clause would be "WHERE c.data_type IN ('geometry','geography')" – Jonathan Van Matre Dec 16 '11 at 19:50

How can I validate individual rows of a list record in web applications?
You cannot use the normal validation flow, because you have multiple inputs related to the same widget at design time.
We suggest three options:
- Have a save button in each row, so you can validate the values individually.
- Same as 1, but with on change action instead of the save button.
- Use an auxiliary variable bound to each record.
- On the code that validates each row, assign whether the record is valid to the auxiliary variable of the record.
- On your screen logic, check the current value of the auxiliary variable for each record. Add a CSS class to records with invalid input. In the case, the CSS class "Not_Valid".

The Darvaza Gas Crater in Turkmenistan. Was it a UFO? Was it a plane crash? If so, then where is the UFO or plane? A meteorite maybe, that left right after crashing into the earth?
The Darvaza Gas Crater, known locally as the Door to Hell, is a pretty weird phenomenon. When approaching it, from far you might think it was a tourist trap. Nothing to see. But when getting closer… there is no fence surrounding it so the enormous heat is a welcome warning to stay away!
Darvaza Gas Crater
The Darvaza Gas Crater is a natural Gas field near Derweze, in Turkmenistan. What is actually funny… The fire, that obviously helped the Darvaza Gas Crater get even more popular, was not natural. Geologists set it on fire to prevent the spread of methane gas, and it has been burning continuously since then. So, Darvaza Gas Crater (diameter of the crater is 69 metres (226 ft), and its depth is 30 metres (98 ft)) is mainly just gas, set on fire 50 years ago.
It does feel like a waste, though. The gas reserve found here is one of the largest in the world and it just vanishes as warm air. In fact, the site was identified by Soviet engineers in 1971. It was originally thought to be a substantial oil field site. The engineers set up a drilling rig and operations to assess the quantity of oil available at the site. Soon after the preliminary survey found a natural gas pocket, the ground beneath the drilling rig and camp collapsed into a wide crater and was buried.
A true experience, that's for sure. Check out more pictures from Elliot about Darvaza Gas Crater in Turmenistan, on his website: Earth Nutshell


Law of Similarity: Overview & Examples
Instructor: Orin Davis
Psychologists use the Law of Similarity to understand behavior. Learn the Law of Similarity, which is the tendency to link similar items into a distinct group, and see examples of how it affects you every day.
Definition of the Law of Similarity
Have you ever walked down a busy street on a summer day and heard the music coming out of the cars with open windows? You are probably hearing multiple songs at once, and yet you are able to identify each of them and not get lost in the ocean of sound. Within each song, the series of notes is connected more closely than it is to the notes of any of the other songs, and it is this similarity that allows you to pick out the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and Barbara Streisand all at the same time. The fact that we link things that are similar and treat them like a distinct group is the Law of Similarity. Psychologists use the Law of Similarity to understand behavior.
Examples of the Law of Similarity
To really understand how the Law of Similarity works, let's look at a few examples.
Example 1
Take a look at the letters below:
h h h h h h h h h h
q q q q q q q q q q
n n n n n n n n n n
p p p p p p p p p p
You would probably describe what you see as four rows of letters instead of ten columns of letters, because we tend to group similar things into whole sets - that's the Law of Similarity.
Example 2
What shape do you see in this picture?
ASCII Smiley
If you look closely, you will see that the smiley face is made of individual characters. We are able to see each of the eyes and the mouth because they are made of similar characters that we combine in our minds using the Law of the Similarity. While the light and dark contrasts help, we would be able to see the smiley face as long as the characters that make up the eyes are all the same but also distinct from the characters that make up the background. That way, we can group the characters using the Law of Similarity and distinguish them as eyes that are separate from the background of the face.
The Law of Similarity is a Gestalt Rule
The Law of Similarity is one of the rules that comes from Gestalt Psychology ('gesh-TAHLT'; German for 'whole'), which is about how human beings perceive wholes. Gestalt Psychology describes how a whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Take a look at Example 3 to see for yourself.

RCUI Document Version 5.0.0 for Oracle® Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 Patch Set 1 (184.108.40.206.0)
Last Updated 06-May-2010
Content Switchers allow users to quickly jump back and forth between applications, to change the context of a page or page section, or to change user login.
Note: Images in this guideline are provided as a general reference, and may not be exact representations of FusionFX pages.
Related ADF Elements
Refer to the ADF Faces Rich Client demos page to find demos and tag documentation for the ADF elements related to this component:
Content Switchers are types of choice lists that are used to change quickly from one product, set of content, or user account to another.
Content Switcher usage depends on the type of switcher. Each type of switcher is described in its own section of this guideline:
- Application Switcher: Switches from one product to another.
- Context Switcher: Switches content within a page or section of a page.
- Login Switcher: Switches from one user account to another.
Note: The Content Switcher is not a separate ADF component. It is implemented using the "compact" mode of Select Choice, with certain types of values configured by product teams. See the Related ADF Elements list above for a list of ADF components that may be used to implement a content switcher.
All three types of content switchers consist of the same basic elements:
- Current Selection Text: Indicates the current application, context, or user account. The form of the text depends on the location of the switcher. See the section for each type of switcher for details.
- Drop-Down Button: Opens the switcher choice list. See the Select Choice guideline for component details.
- Choice List: Contains a list of applications, contexts, or users. Content switcher choice lists should be configured as follows:
- Each entry consists of a single line.
- Blank entries are not permitted.
- Entries should be grouped using separator lines.
Content Switcher Elements
The differences between content switchers are a function of switcher location and list content, as described in the following subsections.
Allows the user to switch back and forth between Oracle products.
- An application switcher may only be placed after the product name in the Branding bar, where the product name functions as the current selection text.
- When the user clicks the switcher drop-down button, the choice list displays a list of applications.
- Selecting an application name from the choice list takes the user to the Home page or default opening page of another application.
- Switch within a family of applications: for example, from Sales to Support applications.
- Switch between modules within a family of applications: for example, from one HR module to another HR module.
- Switch between related applications: for example, from a Sales application to Order Management application.
- Switch between different editions or versions of an application: for example, from a recruitment application for managers to a recruitment application for employees.
- The application switcher is primarily recommended for applications belonging to a product suite, where users may need to frequently switch between applications to gain different views or perform different operations on the same or related data.
- If implemented, the application switcher should appear on every page of the application.
- The application switcher must also be implemented in every application listed in the switcher to enable two-way navigation between applications.
- An application switcher should not be used for linking to locations other than the Home Page or default opening page of another application, or Favorites configured by the user.
- An application switcher choice list may also contain the list of Favorites the user has set up. This list should be appended to the application list, after a separator line.
- Do not use an application switcher to link to a specific location within another application. If this is required, use a link within page content together with instructions that identify the task to be performed at the target location in the other application.
Allows the user to change content on the current page or a section of the current page.
- A context switcher may be placed in different locations. In each location, the preceding header text functions as the current selection text.
- Contextual Branding, to switch context for the entire page.
- Primary page header/title, to switch context for the entire page.
- Section header, to switch context for that section only.
- When the user clicks the switcher drop-down button, the choice list displays a list of contexts.
- Selecting a context from the choice list refreshes the page or section with new content.
- Content changes made on one page are usually reflected on drill-down pages, and may also be reflected in subsequent pages of a multi-page process.
Context Switcher in Contextual Branding Area
Two Images of Context Switcher in Header Region (One Showing Select Choice List)
- A user is looking at a detail page of database XYZ, and then uses the context switcher to change the view to database ABC.
- A user is viewing assets for the Accounting department. There is an object list of assets, work requests regarding the assets, and other functionality regarding the assets of that organization. The user uses the context switcher to view the Marketing department assets.
- A project manager is viewing the project schedule and resources for construction of an office building, and then uses the context switcher to view the project schedule and resources for construction of a hospital.
- The context switcher is recommended as a quick, alternative method of switching page contexts, without requiring users to navigate up to an object list to select a different object or attribute.
- The context switcher is recommended for professional applications; avoid placing it in applications for non-technical users because users may lose track of their context if provided with context switchers.
- When implemented, the context switcher must appear on every page listed in the choice list to enable two-way navigation between those pages.
Allows the user to change login credentials without restarting the application.
- A login switcher may be placed after a login stamp, with the login stamp data functioning as the current selection text. See the Page Stamps guideline for more details on login stamps.
- When the user clicks the switcher drop-down button, the choice list displays a list of user IDs.
- Selecting a user ID from the choice list switches credentials, allowing access to different application features or data depending on privileges of the user account.
Login Switcher with User Stamp Label
- An administrator is logged in with a personal user account and realizes that super-user privileges are necessary to complete a task. In this case a login switcher allows the administrator to quickly change the login without needing to restart the application.
- A member of a project team is working on a shared computer when another user needs quick access to data managed within the same application. They can use the login switcher to quickly change the login account to view or edit data, and then switch back to the original login so the first user can continue work.
- The login switcher is recommended as a quick, alternative method of switching logins, without needing to restart the application or the system.
- The login switcher is recommended for professional users; applications for non-technical users typically provide access only for a single user ID.
- When implemented, the login switcher must be available for all user accounts listed in the choice list to enable two-way switching between user accounts.

Turbocharging is the single most popular method for adding brute power to an engine, but this video shows the manufacturing of a turbocharger is anything but brutal. Instead, the process combines precision machining with ancient methods of metal shaping.
The manufacturing process inside the Turbonetics factory starts with molten aluminum being poured to form the sandcast housings and progresses through exacting CNC processes and unhurried assembly. The human touch is the most notable part of the process: The making of these devices, which spin at 100,000 RPM and help hurl two-ton machines past 200mph, depends largely on the skilled hands of the company's technicians.

 Ministry is an American industrial metal band founded by lead singer Al Jourgensen in 1981. Originally a new wave - synthpop outfit, Ministry changed its style to industrial metal in the late 1980s. Ministry found mainstream success in the early 1990s with its most successful album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs and touring as part of the Lollapalooza festival. After 27 years of performing, Jourgensen decided to end the band in 2008, and since then stated that a reunion would never happen. However, on August 7, 2011, a reunion was announced, when Ministry confirmed that they will play one of their first shows in 4 years at the Wacken Open Air festival in August 2012. Ministry released a new album, titled Relapse, on March 23, 2012, which was followed by a world tour.

Task 1 (Table) – Changes in modes of travel in England between 1985 and 2000
Describe the information in the table and make comparisons where appropriate.
Write at least 150 words.
Average distance in miles travelled per person per year
Model Answer 1:
The line graph delineates how the vehicle preferences of British changed over the time by comparing the average distance an English travelled using different modes of carriers in 1985 and 2000. Overall, cars were British citizen's primary mode of transportation and taxi was the least used mode of travel for them.
As the data suggests, an English travelled more than 6400 miles on an average in a year which was almost 36% higher than the distance an average Brit travelled in 1985. Car use predominated this total travel as more than 4800 miles out of 6400 in 2000 were crossed using automobiles and a similar trend was seen in 1985. Use of personal cars in truth increased over the time, as the data outlines. Reliance on buses was higher than train and bicycle use and despite an average 255 miles walking by a Brit in 1985, it decreased after 15 years.
Taxi was perhaps the least preferred mode of commuting as only 13 miles were travelled by a British using it in 1985 which, despite an increase in 2000, was ignorable. Train travel hiked in 2000 while distance travelled by British in local buses dropped. All other transportations contributed to 585 miles of travel by a Brit in 2000, an increase than that of 1985.
Model Answer 2:
The table data outlines transportation preference by British commuters between 1985 and 2000. As is obvious, cars were the most common means of travelling in the two mentioned years in the UK.
Interestingly, British did not use taxi quite often back in 1985 – only 13 miles per year was cut by every citizen which made the taxi the least common mode of transportation this year. However, this number increased to 42 miles per person in 2000. On the other hand, bicycles were one of the least used vehicles in 2000 covering only 41 passenger miles. It is clear that cars were still on top of preference among commuters, increasing from 3199 miles in 1985 to 4806 miles in 2000. Walking habits remained almost the same by British while the use of local bus declined. Each passenger travelled around 250 miles per year in trains and that rose to over 350 after 15 years.
In summary, the overall distance travelled by an English citizen went up from 4740 to 6475 miles in 15 years and the car was the primary means of transportation for them.

Notorious Arizona County Providing Wrong Election Date In Spanish, Correct Date In English
A spokesperson for the Maricopa County Elections Department admits they once again gave voters the wrong date of next month's election.
ABC15 exposed a similar mistake by the Maricopa County Elections Department last week on a voter ID document. The document, like the bookmark, also listed the date of the general election in Spanish as November 8, but November 6 in English.
Reed, Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell's spokesperson, says the error was not intentional but rather simply yet another mistake.
 - Allen
 If you can't read or speak English then you have no business voting anyways.
 - Andrew
 Does that include people who can't tell the difference between 6 and 8?
 - Jin The Ninja
 i rather think, being monolingual, is somewhat limiting and not a topic of polite discussion.
 your personal ignorance is not an excuse for the disenfranchisement of legal voters.
 - Eric Fischer
 Does the above statement still apply for a monolingual person in the U.S. who only speaks Spanish? (although I do tend to agree that being multilingual is objectively better than being monolingual)
 - Jin The Ninja
 i said 'being monolingual is somewhat limiting.' that doesn't refer to any particular group of speakers; however, english-speaking westerners have a particularly virulent expectation for non-english speakers to learn THEIR language. did you know there are hundreds of thousands of AMERICAN aboriginal people born between _PHONE_ WHOM ONLY speak their indigenous language? i don't fault people for being monolingual (because that would be just as a bad as the OP), but i fault practices that engender disenfranchisement in totality.
 - Hadrian999
 I believe if someone travels to another country it is their responsibility to learn the language if they want to get along, though encouraging people to multilingual is a great idea.It is also important for outreach programs to help new arrivals learn a functional level of the local language. New immigrants who are cut off from the parent culture don't do anyone any good. In parts of the U.S. it is very hard to learn and retain a foreign language though maybe less difficult in the internet age. Nothing drives me quite so crazy as videos of "ugly americans" freaking out because people in places they vacation don't speak English. I want to learn another language but I'm not sure I'll be able to with the state of my hearing.
 - Eric Fischer
 There's a BIG difference between American Indians who are native to the U.S. and immigrants who moved here.
 As an English-speaking westerner myself, I would consider it the height of arrogance and bad manners to go to a foreign nation and expect them to bend over backwards to accommodate my monolinguism, ESPECIALLY if I was seeking citizenship in that country. I see nothing wrong with endorsing the same policy in my own country.
 Arpaio is a total POS, and the particular tactic revealed in this article is slimy. However, Indians living on the Res are the ONLY ones who are entitled to an exemption from being required to read and write in English to vote.
 - VaudeVillain
 Why not?
 - 4451Htop
 I agree 100%. How can anyone think your wrong for making that statement? You have to understand English to make an informed decision when voting. I don't want people voting for someone when they can't even understand them. You guys are retarded if you think a bunch of people who can't speak or read the primary language of a country should have the right to vote in that country. Assimilate or GTFO!
 - Liam_McGonagle
 "Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell's spokesperson, says the error was not intentional but rather simply yet another mistake."
 She must be a rocket scientist just like Arpaio. Who the hell honestly 'thought' that the Spanish for 6 November would read '8 Noviembre'?
 - Jin The Ninja
 if that "genuinely" was a "mistake" then not only would it have "mistakenly" robbed people of their right to vote, but also it was so deeply retarded that whomever wrote it should not be claiming "spanish proefficiency" on their CV (a fire-able offense). i think it's much less embarrassing for them to just admit they are racist and fascist, at least that would show some kind of integrity of ideology.
 - some1simple
 I would like to see your remark regarding "unconstitutionally awful conditions" of the jails this gentleman runs supported by at least some shred of evidence or clearly phrased as your own opinion. As far as I know there has only been one case that deals with medical rights in the jail, but that does not mean the jail is unconstitutional, only the medical treatment. Please save your loaded single sided comments for you own blog.
 - Matt Staggs
 You're a guest here. Feel free to criticize Mr. Sloan's assertions, but If you're interested in moderating or editing content, then I suggest you "save it for your own blog."
 - VaudeVillain
 What a gentleman, you Googled for him AND refrained from using profanity.
 I would have just told him to get bent.
 - Fransico Person
 The ballots should be in "English only" to begin with. Whoever thought that they should include spanish with English and no other languages was a racist. Why not include every language known to man? Wouldn't want to disenfranchise anyone now would we.
 There is good reason for a predominant language being spoken in any country, America happens to be English. Learn it, make it easier on society as a whole.
 - nobomney2012
 Who downvotes this? If I moved to Brazil I wouldn't expect everything to be catered to me in english, i'd fucking learn Portuguese so I could assimilate. Immigrants, please come here, but learn the fucking language. My ancestors did and so should you.
 - Andrew
 His comment indicates to me that he already knows English.
 Also, if Brazil invaded and conquered America, I'd demand they cater to English speakers.
 - Eric Fischer
 If Brazil invaded and conquered America, you wouldn't be in any position to "demand" anything. More like "pretty please."
 If you think American cops are bad, try getting out of line in Rio. Or better yet, DON'T.
 - Andrew
 That attitude is a tad servile for my tastes. If the Founding Fathers thought that way, etc. etc.
 - VaudeVillain
 So it's racist to include Spanish, but entirely proper to include only English?
 Out of curiosity, how well do you know English? The (very short) article above clearly states that it refers to bookmark and a voter identification notice, ballots are not included.
 It would be a much better world if every ignorant jag who thinks God descended upon Washington and declared English the only language to be used in the US at least had the common decency to know and understand the language they seem to have such a hard on for. Damned morans.
 - nobomney2012
 American English has been the predominant spoken language in this country since it's inception and is the official language of 28 states(albeit these rulings do have racist roots). My grandparents came here speaking only Lithuanian and worked hard to learn the language so they could properly assimilate into the culture. Were there ballots catering to them? Fuck no and rightfully so. As I stated before, immigrants please come on over here, you're what made this country what it is. Just learn the language so you can properly integrate.
 - nobomney2012
 BTW I used ballots just as an example here I know it wasn't in the article.
 - poponhop
 are you pretending? to be spanish then misspelled your own name? Francisco or you are a sico?
 - Neo Washington
 The DOJ is flexing it's muscle to intimidate Sheriff Joe. If the majority of the crime in your community is committed by green aliens, then you would tend to deal more with green aliens, ie: pull over more green aliens. It's simple, his town is over run with illegal aliens and hispanic gangs, hispanic drug dealers, that's where the crime is coming from. Not to mention that if you are illegal you ARE a criminal by definition.
 Who cares, lets get the party started, throw these assholes out of the white house, out of the senate, out of congress and out of the supreme court. The few will not control the many forever.
 - BuzzCoastin
 OMG, Hispanics were almost deceived
 and wouldn't have been able to vote in fake, rigged election
 if they hadn't noticed that the Anglos were voting 2 days earlier
 no one should be deprived of their right to vote
 for one of the two corporate candidates of their choice
 - auto5734955
 To those of you who in some manner said speak the tongue or go home……..I bet your ancestors came to the USA able to speak perfectly the "NATIVE" dialects right? a$$holes you should GTFHome.

Global Data Synchronization
As trading partners recognize the importance of working more closely together to improve operational efficiency and service levels, the way information is managed and shared is becoming a critical issue. Organizations must ensure that the information they share with trading partners about the products they make, buy or sell is 100 percent accurate and up-to-date. Global Data Synchronization (GDS) is the perfect solution for ensuring that this happens.
How Global Data Synchronization Works
The Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN), an Internet-based, interconnected network of interoperable data pools and a global registry known as the GS1 Global Registry. It enables organizations around the globe to exchange standardized and synchronized supply chain data with their trading partners.
- Supplier loads its product information into the Source Data Pool using RedTail GDS.
- Source Data pool sends a description to GS1 Global Registry automatically.
- Buyer, through the Recipient Data Pool, subscribes to supplier's information.
- Supplier fulfills the buyer's subscription by publishing the requested data.
- Buyer sends confirmation to supplier that product information subscription is complete.

In general, mine faces are separated from the mine ventilation network. In mine face workers are exposed to contaminants such as dust and gas. Mine faces are ventilated by auxiliary ventilation optimal design of this system is very complicated. Accumulation of methane gas in mine faces have high potential of disaster. In order to solve this problem, we must have Comprehensive view of methane behavior and distribution in mine faces.In this paper, in order to reach this goal,three-dimensional model of auxiliary ventilation system of Mike mine was constructed by CFD code fluent.model geometry was meshed by hybrid cell : Quadrilateral cell with 5 cm in model face, fan and out let and Hexagonal cell with 20 cm in model ceiling, floor. Fluid turbulence flow and methane concentration are modeled with and methane air mixture. According to simulation result there is direct relation between high concentration of methane and return flow so high concentration of gases occurs under ventilation ducts and face corners. Finally,there is a good agreement between numerical result and mike mine Measurements.

Volatile Excel Functions
|Smart Recalculation||Evaluation Circumstances||Calculation Process||Dependency Trees|
|Controlling Calculation||"CALCULATE" in Status Bar||Calculation Methods||Calculating from VBA|
|Volatile Functions & Actions||User-Defined Functions||Repetitive Calculation||Version Timing Comparison|
A Volatile Function in a formula in a cell makes that cell be
always recalculated at each recalculation even if it does not
appear to have any changed precedents.
FastExcel measures Workbook Volatility by comparing the time for a Recalculation to the time for a full calculation, and allows you to measure worksheet volatility by comparing the sheet recalculate time with the sheet full calculate time.
Excel's Volatile Functions.
Some of Excel's functions are obviously volatile: RAND(), NOW(), TODAY()
Others are less obviously volatile: OFFSET(), CELL(), INDIRECT(), INFO()
Some are volatile in some versions of Excel but not in others: INDEX()became non-volatile in Excel 97.
A number of functions that are documented by Microsoft as volatile do not actually seem to be volatile when tested:
INDEX(), ROWS(), COLUMNS(), AREAS()
and CELL("Filename") IS volatile although a MSKBN article says its not.
One particular syntax of SUMIF is volatile in Excel 2002 and subsequent versions. This occurs when the size of the first range argument is not the same as the second (sum_range) argument.
For example =SUMIF(A1:A4,">0",B1) is volatile whereas =SUMIF(A1:A4,">0",B1:B4) is not volatile. Both of these formulae will reference cells B1:B4.
Presumably this volatile behaviour was added to give correct results when B2:B4 were changed. Thanks to Luke Wisbey for letting me know about this behaviour.
Using a volatile function in a formula will flag the cell containing the formula as volatile, even if the volatile function never gets executed:
=IF(1<2,99,NOW()) will always return
99 and the volatile NOW() function will never be called, but the cell
containing the IF formula will be treated as volatile, (thanks to
Stephen Bullen for pointing this out).
You can download volatileFuncs.zip for a test workbook that you can use to test if a function or formula is volatile.
Dependents of Volatile functions.
Direct dependents of volatile functions are always
Indirect dependents of volatile functions are not
IF(), CHOOSE(), AND(), OR()
The IF and CHOOSE functions only execute ONE of the available choices. This is called short-circuiting:
If you create UDFs One, Two and Three each of which contain a debug.print or MsgBox statement so that you can see what is being executed then:
The AND and OR functions always execute ALL the available choices:
If the One(), Two() and Three() UDFs return 1,2 and 3 respectively then:
Volatile only at Workbook Open
References to UDFs where the UDF itself is located in an XLA or external workbook are flagged as dirty when the workbook containing the reference is opened: if calculation is Automatic they will be recalculated at workbook open, if calculation is Manual they will be recalculated at the next recalculation.
Using INDEX as the second part of a range reference, for example A$2:INDEX(A$2:A$8,7,), will also cause the reference to be flagged as dirty when the workbook is opened. (Thanks to Bill Wood for spotting this).
Because a cell has been flagged as dirty the workbook will also be flagged as Unsaved so you may get an unexpected prompt to Save the workbook when closing it.
Conditional Formats are volatile.
Because conditional formats need to be evaluated at each calculation any formulae used in a conditional format is effectively volatile. Actually conditional formats seem to be super-volatile: they are evaluated each time the cell that contains them is repainted on the screen, even in Manual calculation mode, although VBA functions used in conditional formats will not trigger breakpoints when executed by the repaint.
Volatile Actions: Actions that trigger calculation
Selecting any filtering criteria when using Autofilter will flag ALL the formulae in the autofilter range as uncalculated, even if none of their precedents have changed and even if you select exactly the same filter criteria as before. This can cause Autofilter calculation to be extremely slow.
Clicking Row or Column Divider
If calculation is set to Automatic clicking or doubleclicking a row or column divider will trigger a recalculation. But manually changing the height or width of a column or row will NOT trigger a recalculation.
In Manual mode these actions do not flag the workbook as requiring calculation.
Inserting or Deleteing Rows, Columns or Cells, or Moving Cells
Insert or Delete Rows or Columns or Cells, or moving Cells (using
Drag/Drop or Cut/Paste) anywhere on a Sheet, even to the right or
below the Used Range.
Then these cells become flagged as uncalculated.
Adding, Changing or Deleting Defined Names
Any action taken to add, delete, change or alter a defined name or its refersto property will trigger a recalculation.
Renaming Worksheets and Changing Worksheet Position
Changing the name of a worksheet or moving it will trigger a recalculation
in Automatic mode.
Deleteing Worksheets, but not Adding Worksheets
In Automatic mode deleting a worksheet will trigger a recalculation, but adding a worksheet will not.
Hiding or Unhiding Rows in Excel 2003
In Excel 2003 hiding or unhiding rows will flag the selected rows as uncalculated, even if no rows were actually hidden or unhidden. If calculation is automatic this will trigger a recalculation. This behaviour is a change from previous versions. Hiding or unhiding columns does NOT flag the column as uncalculated.
Probably the reason for the change is that the SUBTOTAL function in Excel 2003 has an option to include or ignore hidden rows, so Excel needs to be able to trigger a dependency recalculation by dirtying the cells when a row is hidden or unhidden.
Opening a.CSV file
Whenever you open a.CSV file, either through VBA or File-->Open, a recalculation of all open workbooks will be triggered, even if calculation is in Manual. Switching off.EnableEvents does not stop this recalculation. The only way I have found to prevent this recalculation from happening is to use VBA to switch Worksheet.EnableCalculation to False for each worksheet that you do NOT want to be calculated.
Each iteration of Goal Seek triggers a recalculation.
See evaluation circumstances for the circumstances that will cause a formula to be evaluated.

Color demosaicking is used to reconstruct full color images from incomplete color filter array samples captured by cameras with a single sensor array. In reconstructing natural-looking images, one key challenge is to model and respect the statistics of natural images. This paper presents a novel modeling strategy and an efficient color demosaicking algorithm. The approach starts with joint modeling of the color images, which supports simultaneous representation of inter-channel correlation and structural information in an image. The inter-channel correlation is explored by measuring the channel difference signals in the gradient domain, while the structural information is explored by nonlocal low-rank regularization. An efficient algorithm is then proposed to solve the joint formulation, by dividing the minimization problem into two sub-problems and solving them iteratively. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated with extensive experiments on both noiseless and noisy datasets, with comparison with existing state-of-the-art color demosaicking methods.

The FEI Proposes New Rules on Pony Measuring: Why? What are they? How will they affect you?
If you are reading this article, you probably know the difference between a pony and a horse and have heard the terms "measuring in" and "measuring out" bandied about. But did you know that the FEI is proposing to dramatically revise the Pony measuring rules? This could have a massive impact on Pony owners, so we recommend you read carefully and raise any concerns you may have with your National Federations or with the FEI directly.
What are the current rules?
Under the current rules, ponies are measured at FEI events handpicked by the FEI Veterinary Department. Two measuring vets assess the ponies at these selected events using FEI certified and calibrated measuring sticks.
If you are a pony owner, the somewhat arbitrary figure of 150cm may strike fear into you because it is currently the maximum height allowed for a pony (without shoes) on competition day. Outside of competition, 148cm (without shoes) is the maximum height. Non-pony-owners might be surprised to know that ponies can 'grow' by several centimetres when under competition pressure, due to muscle exertion and sweat. Additionally, measuring conditions at events are not always perfect – there have been some controversial cases over the last few years where the measuring ground surface was found to be uneven, adding phantom centimetres to pony height. This is the reason for the FEI allowing 2cm of leeway as they explain that this compensates for any uncertainty around uneven surfaces
If a pony measures above the 150cm mark, it will not be able to compete that day. But all is not lost; an appeal can be made, leading to an appeal measurement within 40 days. The appeal measurement is done outside of event conditions and your pony has the chance to shrink back down and be called a pony again under FEI rules.

Why does the FEI want to change the rules?
The FEI identified several motivating factors behind the new proposals.
First, the FEI acknowledges the unnecessary stress, particularly for children, caused by measuring at competitions. Pony measuring – and incidental disputes – undoubtedly increase an already pressured environment. Pony measuring stress is not limited to children; it also draws in their parents and trainers. Nobody wants to travel hours to a competition, only to be told to turn around and go home again. And for those of us who are parents, we all know that there is nothing that induces stress more than the possibility of deeply disappointing our children. This makes for an explosive combination when pony measuring at events goes badly.
Additionally, the FEI believes that the 150cm limit allows ponies that are too large to compete – they think this current upper measurement is too high and needs to be curtailed.
The FEI also has efficiency on its mind. They want to eradicate the appeals system, which they believe wastes time and money. They are concerned about cases where a pony exceeded the maximum height (or 'measured out') at competition, then has a successful appeal measurement within 40 days… and then goes on to measure out at an event later that year. The FEI thinks the new proposals will prevent that from happening and therefore level the playing field for true ponies.
So… what are the new proposals?
The FEI is proposing doing away with pony measuring at competitions and instead implementing a system of global measuring sessions, undertaken yearly in each country or region. The maximum height would be reduced from 150cm without shoes to 148cm without shoes (149cm with shoes)
The FEI has suggested that the measuring sessions could take place between January 1 and March 15 each year, with an option for other sessions after this period. The sessions will take place at set measuring stations, with the FEI aiming to place at least one in each European country. The FEI proposes a complete revamp of the measuring stations under the new system. To ensure the stations are fair and consistent, the FEI has stated that there must be a flat measuring pad for ponies to stand on, an area to walk the ponies in hand, an area for ponies to urinate and finally an area for lunging and riding. There will be a measurement fee, which has not yet been set, charged for each pony.
The actual method used to measure the ponies may also evolve, as the FEI looks to increase efficiency and accuracy. The FEI is looking into using a recently developed laser device that works by sending a laser beam to the ground once placed on top of a pony. High tech!
If a pony 'measures in' the pony's profile in the FEI database will be updated to include the measurement result and the FEI will issue it with a measuring certificate. Going forward, only ponies with an FEI measuring certificate will be allowed to enter FEI pony competitions.
Ponies will need to be measured every year, until they reach eight years old. Once a pony reaches eight, the FEI will issue a lifetime certificate.

How will these proposals affect you? Should you be concerned?
If the new pony measurement proposals are accepted by National Federations, the transition period in which newly registered ponies would go through the new system, would begin on January 1, 2020 and end on January 1, 2023. During this period the FEI would carry out measuring only at three events: the European Pony Championships, the Nations Cup Final, and the Pony Trophy Final.
If your pony is already registered with the FEI, you do not need to worry about getting a certificate until January 1, 2023. That said, if your pony 'measures out' during the transition period, you will have no right to appeal and your pony must then register under the new system. Your National Federation will be notified and your pony will be blocked and will need to be re-registered as a horse. Any attempt to have the horse return back to pony status can only be made once in the same year and after that, once a year for two years.
These proposals to modify the Pony measuring system will be shared with your National Federations and then voted on at the FEI General Assembly later this year. If you have any important feedback, good or bad, you should get in touch with your National Federation and share it as your National Federations are empowered to provide feedback to the FEI during the consultation period on these proposed rules.

Measure your delayed work. Evaluate the accuracy of your predictions. Calculate your on-time delivery ratio.
The Due Date Performance Chart for Azure DevOps enables you to measure your due date performance by comparing the time between the start date and due date of a work item, with the actual time it took to deliver your work. Each dot on the graph represents a completed work item on your Azure board, with its cycle time plotted against the horizontal axis and its predicted time displayed on the vertical axis.
Your due-date performance is a measure of reliability. Furthermore, it determines the quality of your initial forecast. The accuracy of your forecasts strongly depends on the stability of your system - the more stable your system is, the more dependable your forecasts will be.
With the Due Date Performance chart for Azure DevOps, you can filter your completed work by 'On-time work items' and 'Overdue work items' in order to perform a root cause analysis of the reasons behind your delays.
Your predicted time is calculated as the difference between the moment a work item first entered your workflow and the due date of the work item, while your completion time is the difference between the same starting point and the work item's actual completion date.
By clicking on each dot, you can access further details of the work item. This includes its total cycle time, its predicted time, a direct link to the card on your Azure board as well as the cycle times your work has spent in each process state.
Analyze your overdue work items individually and pay special attention to the states with the longest cycle times to locate the bottleneck impeding your system.
The line plotted across the chart is called a regression line. It flows roughly through the middle of all your completed work items. The slope of the regression line exposes the difference between your predicted time and the actual time needed to deliver your work.
The due date regression line helps you evaluate the accuracy of your predictions and gauge the efficiency of the system you are maintaining.
The 'On-Time Delivery' widget displays the percentage of times that you managed to deliver before your due date arrived. It also visualizes how your due date performance trends have moved over time.
The fundamental element of a due date performance analysis is assessing whether your work has been delivered on time. If the percentage is quite low, this denotes that your initial predictions are unrealistic. If that's the case, consider forecasting your work items using your past performance data with the Cycle Time Scatterplot for Azure DevOps.
