Open Inventor 8.1
Thanks to numerous optimisations, generalised use of the latest OpenGL techniques, and finely tuned memory consumption, Open Inventor 8.1 delivers a display rate which is now nearly equivalent to graphics hardware peak performance. This new release also introduces a dynamic display resolution mechanism, whereby advanced rendering effects are progressively applied during interaction, refining image quality on the fly, without sacrificing interactivity. Volume masks and real-time shadows are two major new features provided by VolumeViz 8.1, while the MeshViz XLM 8.1 extension benefits from more parallelised extraction algorithms and significantly improved performance. Finally, ScaleViz 8.1 now takes full advantage of multi-GPU configurations, with optimal performance on Nvidia QuadroPlex systems using the Nvidia CompleX engine.

Scanning Electron Microscope images of insects and spiders taken by the Museum's Sue Lindsay feature in a recent Australia Post stamp issue.
A series of six Australia Post stamps feature Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images of insects and spiders taken by the Australian Museum's micrographer Sue Lindsay. The striking micrographs are of an ant, a Jumping Spider, a weevil, a Hatchet Wasp, a Ground Beetle and a Dead Leaf Mimic Mantis (praying mantis) imaged at over eight times their normal size.
The Micro Monster stamps are available at participating Australia Post outlets and the Australian Museum shop while stock lasts.

SEM is used by scientists at the Australian Museum as a taxonomic tool to help them identify and describe species of fauna. Using Scanning Electron Microscopy scientists can view specimens at magnifications of up to 40,000 times. (The most powerful SEM, the Zeiss Evo LS15, can image at 1,000,000 times.) Microstructures that cannot normally be seen or difficult to see under light microscopes can be viewed in the SEM with amazing 3D clarity.

text: A 3D finite element (FE) model was developed to calculate the vertical forces on dental implants supporting prosthetic bridgework. Results of PE models were compared to results of an analytical model developed by Skalak (1), and to experimental results from laboratory models of semicircular metal and acrylic bridges supported by screw-shaped titanium dental implants specially-designed to sense axial load. The dental implants in these lab models were inserted into (a) an aluminum baseplate (Ng's experiment (2) or (b) a dried human mandible (Edwards' experiment (3)) in order to vary the stiffness of the 'bone'-implant interface. FE models were constructed with beam elements for the implants and brick elements for the bridge. To simulate the effects of different stiffnesses at the bone-implant interface, some FE models used foundation elements of prescribed stiffness beneath the implant beam elements. Models were run with purely vertical forces applied at various locations along the bridge, e.g., at distal locations, midline locations and at an intermediate point. Two key results were: (a) For implants in a stiff interface, supporting either metal or acrylic bridges, the FE results were in closer agreement with experimental data than the Skalak analytical model. (b) For implants in a less stiff interface, the FE model and Skalak model predicted the implant loads accurately for the case of the metal bridge but only the FE model was accurate in the case of the acrylic bridge. For future work it will be important to obtain better data on actual interfacial stiffnesses as input data for FE models.

Use the built-in str.replace method accessible on all string objects.
Put this in the Expression box (replacing "FieldName" with your own):

The sub method in Python's regular expression module should do the trick.
import re
no_hyphens = re.sub('-','','123-45-6789')
This will replace any instance of a "-" with an empty string.

text: This paper partitioned five major coal mining areas respectively in central, southern and eastern Jilin Province for case study based on current situation of exploitation and distribution of coal resources through artificial neural network(ANN) and the 3S technology to gain soil erosion loss mass. On the basis of RUSLE equation, BP neural network is fused to gain the rainfall erosion index of higher precision than those of traditional method. By extracting of indices and raster calculation on the platform of ERDAS and ArcGIS software, we made predication of soil erosion loss of the coal mining areas. After verification, the precision of rainfall erosion index is high, and thus improved the predicting accuracy of soil erosion. Comparative analysis shows that the soil erosion in central section of Jilin Province has much lower intensity, and high degree erosion occurred in the east and south mostly.

Text Area fields - Line breaks removed when appending to thread via business rule
Answer ID 8578 | Last Review Date 04/01/2021
Why are the line breaks removed from my text area fields when they are inserted into the incident thread via a business rule?
Text Area type Custom Fields, Appended via Business Rules
Oracle B2C Service, All supported versions
When the contents of a text area or text field custom field are appended to the incident thread using variables, the line breaks are removed.
This behavior is expected because the text area custom fields store data in plain text format. When a variable is applied to a thread entry, the content of the variable is inserted as plain text content in an HTML environment. This removes the line breaks in the text area field and inserts everything as a single string.
The only ways to insert the contents of a text area field and keep the line breaks is to manually insert the appropriate line breaks in a thread entry while the thread editor is in rich text mode or insert at each line break in the custom field or change the thread type to plain text.
Text area will show content in plain text format.

Hydrology - Open-File Report 30
Historical Summary of Onshore Oil and Gas Exploration Activities in South Carolina
William T. Griffin
Oil and Gas Exploration in South Carolina has occurred in two distinct periods. The first period occurred between 1920 and 1957 (Olson and Glowacz, 1977). During this time 11 wildcat wells (wells 1 – 11, see map) were drilled in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina. These wells are summarized in the table (after Olson and Glowacz, 1977), and their locations have been plotted on the accompanying map. Other than the fact that they were dry, little is known about these wells; therefore, they will not be discussed further in this report.
The second and current period of recorded activity began in 1980. These activities include leasing, soil geochemical analyses, seismic surveys, and drilling, and major companies and small independents have conducted them. It is possible that leasing occurred prior to 1980; but because there are no regulatory requirements for leasing in the State, we have no record of earlier activity.
The purpose of this report is to provide a detailed chronological summary of this second period of onshore oil and gas exploration, and to offer some general observations on future activities and the regulatory role of the South Carolina Water Resources Commission.
This open-file report is available for review in the SCDNR's Columbia office.

TORONTO -- With warm weather approaching and the promise of a "one-dose summer" on the horizon, many Canadians are making plans for the summer and fall, eager for life to get back to pre-pandemic "normal." But not all Canadians are happy to see the end of lockdown life brought about by COVID-19 restrictions.
The term 'cave syndrome' has been bandied about in news headlines and on social media, a term being used to describe people who may not be so willing to resume normal life when the COVID-19 pandemic sees its end. But while it may accurately describe people's genuine struggle to return to normal lives as restrictions ease, psychologists say it's a term that oversimplifies and pathologizes things.
"It's not a syndrome because there could be any number of reasons why people are choosing to stay at home," Steven Taylor, clinical psychologist at the University of British Columbia, told in a phone interview.
This term is gaining popularity before the pandemic has even ended, and it's still too soon to tell how much we'll continue to be affected once the crisis is over.
"At this point it is really hard to assess or understand how severe these issues are because the whole thing is still ongoing," he said. "So someone could be fairly anxious right now about leaving the home, but once the pandemic is over, that person might be fine."
And at this stage in the pandemic, there is no clear ending. What might be the end for one person, won't be the end for another.
"The end of the pandemic is going to be different for everybody. In all likelihood the pandemic is going to evolve into an endemic," Gordon Asmundson, clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Regina, told in a phone interview.
He said that the term 'cave syndrome' is too broad and encompasses any reason someone might have for not leaving their home, including finding it more convenient to work from home, or cheaper to do online post-secondary schooling.
"Some of those reasons may be adaptive reasons, so they're not really symptomatic of anything," he added.
With a term that includes so many reasons for not wanting to leave the house, or ease COVID-19 restrictions, it could overlook more serious diagnoses at play.
"A key consideration is whether leaving the cave is an inconvenience or an emotional burden, and almost insurmountable challenge, and in the latter case, there might be other diagnoses that are more specific and helpful," said Asmundson.
It could prevent people from realizing their issues with leaving the house are more severe than general convenience and enjoying alone time. It could mean missing that someone is staying home because of depression or a panic disorder.
"If you call this a syndrome, then the problem is that you might have missed some of the other disorders," said Taylor.
And there's no need to give a diagnosis to something that creates a feeling of inconvenience more than anything else.
"If it's an inconvenience, but doesn't really affect your functional ability, then those things shouldn't be pathologized," said Asmundson.
It also over emphasizes the mental health issues that psychologists expect to see after the pandemic comes to an end. Early on in the pandemic, Taylor and Asmundson worked together on the impacts of what they call COVID Stress Syndrome, a term used to describe the overwhelming and life-disrupting fear of infection and the consequences of a COVID-19 infection.
"It can over pathologize ordinary anxiety and it's ordinary and normal and expected to be anxious during COVID-19," said Taylor.
He doesn't believe the general stress of the pandemic will have staying power for most people.
"Most people will pick up where they left off and bounce back, but not everyone," said Taylor. "This is a big issue at the moment, trying to estimate the proportion of people who will come through this stressful event and will need psychological help and it's really hard to predict."
This isn't to say that the pandemic hasn't had negative effects on mental health for Canadians.
"The pandemic is having a greater impact on people who have these pre-existing conditions. And then in some people it's creating new conditions, like post traumatic stress disorder, particularly in frontline workers," said Asmundson.
And part of the challenge now is that for most of the pandemic, people with anxiety and panic disorders have been able to stay home and avoid the things that might cause them anxiety, which could actually worsen things.
"Avoidance is one of the key fuels to the fire of anxiety and stress," he said. "It's a really effective coping strategy in the short term, you avoid what stresses you out, you feel better, but in the long term the avoidance comes at a cost and you start missing out on opportunities to learn that you often overestimate the amount of threat that's out there."
Paying attention to how you feel after restrictions have lifted will be very important for those who might be feeling more anxious than usual. If restrictions have lifted but you still fear a trip to the grocery store, it may be something more serious.
"Once the restrictions have lifted and it's gone weeks or months and you're still inside and you're still very frightened, that might be an indication that you might need some help, particularly if the anxiety is interfering with your life," said Taylor.
If you find yourself overwhelmed in the weeks and months after the COVID-19 pandemic comes to an end, or at least when restrictions are lifted, there are free resources available online that Asmundson says are just as good as in-person therapy.
"One of them is called Mind Shift through Anxiety Canada, is freely available and it's an evidence-based online app that people can actually log into and it's like your own personal therapist on the phone, except it's not a person, it's a program," he said.
While 'cave syndrome; might be a catchy name, it doesn't do justice to the reasons people may not want to leave the house, and tries to diagnose people who don't want to return to a pre-pandemic "normal."
"It really overlooks the diversity and reasons why people don't want to go out. It seems to psycho-pathologize all of us who don't want to return to exactly the way things were before."

11,000 YEARS ALONG THE HOUSATONIC RIVER: THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE NORTHWEST HILLS
Kent, Connecticut – September 13, 2008 – The Sloane-Stanley Museum invites the public to a free program on Saturday, October 4th to celebrate Connecticut Archaeology Awareness Month. Dr. Nicholas Bellantoni, State Archaeologist, will talk at 1p.m. on the history of the Native American settlements and patterns of subsistence along the Housatonic River and how both were forced to adapt to changing climatic conditions and European contact.
Dr. Bellantoni serves as the State Archaeologist with the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Archaeology Center at the University of Connecticut. He has been excavating in Connecticut for over 30 years. "We are fortunate to have Dr. Bellantoni open Connecticut Archaeology Awareness Month by speaking at the Sloane-Stanley Museum," said Karin Peterson, Museum Director. "He is a knowledgeable and charismatic speaker." Want-to-be archaeologists can refine their digging skills at "Excavation Station," an interactive learning experience for all ages, which precedes Dr. Bellantoni's presentation from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. This program also is part of the Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Walking Weekend held each year so the public can learn about the history and culture of this region which includes parts of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.
The Sloane-Stanley Museum was built as a collaborative effort between Eric Sloane and the Stanley Works of New Britain to commemorate the tool company's 125th anniversary. Sloane is known to lovers of Americana as an artist and author who brought to life many forgotten customs and skills of past generations. In all, Sloane authored and illustrated over 38 books.
The Sloane-Stanley Museum is located in Kent, Connecticut on Route 7 (31 Kent-Cornwall Road) just north of the village of Kent and the intersection of Route 7 and 341.

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

1 Answer 1

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

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

Let $(E,\mathscr E)$ be a measurable space and $(S,2^S)$ be a finite set. Let $$ \xi:(E,\mathscr E)\to(S,2^S) $$ be a mesaurable function, i.e. $\xi^{-1}(s)\in \mathscr E$ for any $s\in S$. Now, let us denote by $\Omega = E^{\mathbb N_0}$ and by $\mathscr F$ its product $\sigma$-algebra. Also, let $\Sigma = S^{\mathbb N_0}$ and let $\mathscr S$ be the correspondent product $\sigma$-algebra.
Let $\eta:\Omega\to\Sigma$ be the element-wise extension of $\xi$, i.e. $$ \eta(\omega_0,\omega_1,\dots) = (\xi(\omega_0),\xi(\omega_1),\dots). $$
I wonder if $\mathscr S$ is different from $$ \mathscr C = \{A\subseteq \Sigma:\eta^{-1}(A)\in \mathscr F\}. $$ It is clear that $\mathscr S\subseteq \mathscr C$ - but can the strict inclusion actually happen?

Yes, strict inclusion can happen. If $S$ has more than one element, $(\Sigma,\mathscr{S})$ will be an uncountable compact metric space with the Borel $\sigma$-algebra. By standard arguments, there will be $\mathfrak{c}$ many measurable sets, there are as many measurable sets as real numbers. Also, $|\Sigma|=\mathfrak{c}$.
Now let $S=\{0,1,2\}$ and let $\xi$ be the constant function that maps everything to $2$. There are $2^\mathfrak{c}$ subsets of $\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$. Take any subset $A$ of $\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$ and let $A'=A\cup\{(2,2,2,\ldots)\}$. There are $2^\mathfrak{c}$ sets of this form and since $\eta^{-1}(A')=\Omega$ for all of them, they are all in $\mathscr{C}$.
So for cardinality reasons, the inclusion will be strict. Note that $\mathscr{C}$ is the largest $\sigma$-algebra on $\Sigma$ that is compatible with $\eta$ being measurable. It shouldn't be surprising that it is quite large.

text: We have proposed a method of simultaneously measuring aerodynamic sound and fluid ow using parallel phaseshifting interferometry (PPSI). PPSI can observe phase of light instantaneously and quantitatively. This method is useful for understanding the aerodynamic sound because PPSI can measure near the source of the aerodynamic sound. However, the components of sound and ow should be separated in order to observe detail near the source of sound inside a region of ow. Therefore, we consider a separation of the component of sound from simultaneously visualized images of sound and ow. In previous research, a spatio-temporal filter was used to extract a component satisfying the wave equation. The ow and the sound are different physical phenomena, and the ow cannot be expressed by the wave equation. Hence, we think that the spatio-temporal filter enables us to separate the component of sound from the simultaneously visualized images. In this paper, we propose a method for separation of ow and sound using spatio-temporal filter in order to visualize the component of the aerodynamic sound near its source. We conducted an experiment of the separation of data measured by PPSI. The results show that the spatio-temporal filter can extract the sound from air-ow except for the sound near objects and boundaries.

Record WLST Scripts
To help automate the task of configuring a domain, you can record your configuration actions in the Administration Console as a series of WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) commands and then use WLST to replay the commands.
WLST is a command-line scripting environment that you can use to create, manage, and monitor WebLogic Server domains. It is installed on your system when you install WebLogic Server.
The Administration Console does not record WLST commands for the following:
The main steps for recording WLST scripts are as follows:
 1. (Optional) Specify the name of the file in which you want to record WLST commands and set other preferences. See Set Preferences for WLST Recording.
 While setting preferences, you can specify WLST commands that the Administration Console inserts before and after the commands that you record. For example, you can insert a series of commands that connect WLST to an Administration Server and append commands that terminate the connection. Unless you add such commands, you cannot run your recorded commands as a WLST script.
 For examples of WLST scripts, see WLST Online Sample Scripts.
 2. Start WLST Recording.
 You cannot remove or undo a command once it has been recorded. Instead, you can edit the script file after you stop recording or you can set your preferences to overwrite the script file and re-record the commands.
 3. (Optional) View the commands that have been recorded. See View Recorded Commands.
 4. Stop WLST Recording.
 If you choose the Append To File preference, you can start and stop recording several times before moving to the next steps.
 5. If you record commands that get or set the values of encrypted attributes (such the password for a server's Java Standard Trust keystore), the Administration Console creates two files in addition to the script file: a user configuration file that contains the encrypted data and a key file that contains the key used to encrypt the data. Use the file system to limit read and write access to the key file. Users who can read the key file can read all of the encrypted data that you recorded.
 The key file and user configuration files are created in the same directory as the recorded script file and are named recording-fileConfig and recording-fileSecret where recording-file is the name of the recorded script file.
 6. (Optional) Open the script file in a text editor and modify the recorded commands. You specify the name and location of the script file when you set your recording preferences.
 7. Run the script in WLST. When you use WLST to run the commands, WLST must be connected an Administration Server. See Main Steps for Using WLST for more information.
 If you recorded commands that get or set the values of encrypted attributes, the user configuration and key files must be in the same directory as the script file. If you move the script file, you must also move the user configuration and key files. Only the key file that was used to encrypt the data can be used to unencrypt the data.

Gerbils And Exercise Wheels
How do you get gerbils to use an exercise wheel?
By Donna Anastasi
Posted: May 17, 2010, 2:40 p.m. EDT
Q: I have three gerbils living together in a 20-gallon long tank setup. None of them ever run on the wheel that I have in their cage. They mostly use it to burrow under. Is there a way to teach them to use a wheel, if it would be beneficial to their health?
A: The best type of wheel for gerbils is an 8-inch diameter, wire mesh (not slatted or plastic) wheel. A gerbil's tail could get caught in an old-style slatted wheel, and gerbils will chew a plastic wheel to bits. Some gerbils like a wheel and others don't.
The best way to get gerbils to run on a wheel is to offer a wheel when they are young, at about 5 weeks old. Wire it to the mesh lid of their tank so it hangs a few inches above the litter. Gerbils like the challenge of jumping and climbing on a wheel, and once inside may run on it. Try wiring the wheel so it holds still until they get used to sitting in it, then unwire it so it moves and they can run in it.
A final tip is that gerbils learn from watching gerbils in other tanks. If you ever go away and have someone with wheel-aholic gerbils babysit yours, you might come back to see your gerbils happily running in their wheel!
If your gerbils never take to the wheel, give them other things for exercise. Some examples are: a metal climbing structure or a branch from the reptile section of the pet store, deep litter to dig and burrow in, a dust bath to roll in, timothy hay, unscented toilet tissue, a PVC pipe as a tunnel, and plenty of cardboard boxes and tubes to gnaw up.

A Narrative Inquiry of Women in Administration: Their Voices Heard
MetadataShow full item record
This narrative study examined women's experiences in leadership positions in an educational setting in Southern Ontario. Semi-structured interviews with 4 women (2 principals and 2 vice principals) revealed 4 key themes: (a) considerations prior to entering into leadership and confidence instilled by others to continue on that path; (b) ongoing challenge of maintaining work−life balance; (c) others' perceptions of women in leadership positions; and (d) increasing number of women in leadership positions. The researcher used feminist standpoint theory to analyze data collected during interviews, which gave voice to the study's participants and shed some light on women's gendered experiences in leadership positions. Findings suggest that historical roots significantly influence society to continue with stereotypical gender roles, though some participants have overcome certain stereotypes. The literature review and participants' experiences suggest that women have made some progress throughout history yet society needs to remain vigilant while striving for gender equality.

Accessory Dwelling Units
Guide to Developing Accessory Dwelling Units
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), also known by other terms such as a laneway house, granny flat, or mother in law unit, is a separate housing unit on the same lot as a typical single family house. It can be either attached or detached from the main house. It could be rented out to a tenant, or it could be provided for free to the homeowner's friends or family.
ADUs are self-contained dwellings. That means an ADU should provide space for cooking, sleeping, and using the bathroom.
ADUs have a long history in Bremerton. They were a popular form of housing since the days of World War 2, when Bremerton's population boomed and housing was desperately needed. However, because many of those historical ADUs were small and built cheaply and quickly, they were not often considered in a positive light. Most people can imagine the benefit of having an ADU on their property, whether for housing their loved ones who can no longer live independently, or gaining additional income from rent. However, in recent decades the Zoning Code limited ADU construction, and many property owners that wanted to accommodate an ADU on their property were blocked from doing so.
In December of 2020, the City of Bremerton took a huge step forward and made it easier than ever to establish an ADU (Ordinance No. 5410). This page will help you to determine whether an ADU is feasible for your property, and inform you of the City's requirements for ADUs. Below is a table showing some quick standards for ADU construction. Click here for a helpful guidebook that will walk you through developing an ADU. If you have any questions, please contact the Department of Community Development at or _PHONE_.
What is an ADU? An additional, accessory dwelling unit on a lot with an existing principal unit added to or created for use as a complete, independent or semi-independent living unit with provisions for cooking, eating, sanitation and sleeping.
What areas of the City are ADUs permitted? An ADU may be permitted anywhere a new or existing single-family dwelling unit is allowed. ADUs are exempt from the density requirements of the underlying zone.
What is the maximum size of an ADU (square footage)? An ADU is limited to one thousand (1,000) square feet or not more than sixty (60) percent of the principal unit's total habitable floor area, whichever is greater.
 - If the primary residence is greater than 1667 square feet, an ADU can be 60% of its size.
 - If the primary residence is 1667 square feet or less, an ADU can be up to 1000 square feet.
How many ADUs can a property have? Each property can have a one (1) single family home and two (2) ADUs, for a maximum total of three (3) dwelling units. These ADUs can be either detached or attached to the single family home.
Must the owner live on site? No, owner occupancy is not required.
Is parking required for an ADU? The first ADU is not required to provide an additional off-street parking space. The site must comply with Chapter 20.48 BMC - that means the two (2) paved parking spaces for the single family home must be provided. A 2nd ADU must provide an additional paved parking space, for a total of three (3) spaces.
What are the required yards (setbacks & development coverage)? In the R-10 zone, the minimum front and rear yard setbacks are 15 feet, and the side yard setbacks are 5 feet. Contact a Planner to determine your zone.
An ADU must comply with the development standards of the underlying zone for the principal unit including setbacks, height, and lot coverage. However:
 - An ADU can be placed directly on the rear property line, if it abuts an alley.
 - An ADU can be as close as 3 feet from the side property lines, as long as the wall closest to the property line is built according to fire separation standards.
What are the design standards for ADUs? ADUs must preserve the appearance of the main house as a single-family dwelling,and the design of an ADU should blend into the existing house or the neighborhood. That means no duplex-like designs, and nothing that sticks out like a sore thumb. Try to design an ADU so that the materials used complement the design of the main house.


Can You Freeze Lentil Soup?
Lentil soup is a simple and nutritious meal - great for vegetarians and vegans and the perfect option for a healthy side dish, starter, or lunchtime meal.
It also freezes extremely well, so if you make big batches of soup and usually store them in the fridge, why not freeze them instead and extend their shelf life?
This way you can conveniently have a quick and easy meal in the freezer at all times, and you can extend the shelf life of this protein-packed soup, meaning you reduce your food waste, which is always important.
It could also save you time and money if you buy your ingredients in bulk and then cook and freeze a huge supply of lentil soup for future meals.
How to freeze lentil soup
Method 1
The following instructions will work well for both leftover store-bought soup and homemade versions, just ensure that you allow the soup to cool off fully before freezing it.
 1. Once the soup is cooled, you should freeze it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
 2. Then transfer the chilled soup from the fridge into resealable freezer bags or small containers. It's worth bearing in mind how many people each bag or container is for, or you can put a single portion in each one for ultimate ease when defrosting and reheating.
 3. When storing in containers, ensure you only fill them halfway, or if storing in bags, squeeze out all of the air before resealing them.
 4. Then label your containers or freezer bags and store them flat in the freezer.
Method 2
Another option is to freeze your soup in the form of ice cubes. For this, you will need several ice trays and a large freezer bag.
 1. Allow the soup to cool completely, and then ladle it into several ice cube trays until all the slots are filled.
 2. Then transfer to the freezer and allow the cubes to freeze for about two hours, or until firmly frozen.
 3. Remove the ice trays and take out each cube one at a time, placing all of the cubes in a large, resealable freezer bag.
 4. Be sure to squeeze out as much air as possible when sealing the bag, then write the date on it and store flat in the freezer.
How to defrost lentil soup
 1. Remove your soup from the freezer and transfer the container or bag to the fridge.
 2. Leave the soup to thaw overnight.
 3. When you're ready to heat the soup, you can transfer the thawed contents into a saucepan and simmer on low heat until piping hot - this usually takes a few minutes.
 4. If you want to thin your soup out, you can add a little water or broth while heating.
 5. Do not reheat the defrosted soup!
Factors to consider before freezing lentil soup
Allow the soup to cool before freezing
This is really important.
Putting warm food in the freezer causes a shift in the overall freezer temperature, which increases the risk of spoilage. Not only could the soup turn bad, but this could be the case for all of your stored frozen food.
It is also likely to decrease the shelf life of your frozen soup and will be easier to spoil when you reheat it.
If you're particularly short on time, you can always put the pot in ice water and stir the soup every few minutes to speed up the cooling process. This is much safer than risking putting the lukewarm soup in the freezer.
Don't overfill the container
All liquids expand when put in the freezer, so it's essential you leave some headroom when prepping your soup for freezing.
If you fill the container to the brim, you risk it bursting, but on the other hand, if you underfill the container you risk freezer burn, which could alter the taste of your defrosted soup.
Ultimately, you want to leave about an inch of space from the top of the container when filling it with soup. This gives it the best of both worlds - enough room to expand while ensuring minimal air exposure.
Don't overcook your soup
If you're cooking your soup with the intention of freezing the entire batch, it's best to undercook your lentil soup, as you know you'll be freezing it and reheating it again later on. This way, you'll lower the risk of the soup becoming excessively mushy when you reheat it.
If you are planning on eating half of your batch now and half later, you can always split it in two.
For example, when the lentils are slightly undercooked you can put half of the batch to one side so it can cool, while you prepare the rest of the soup.
This way, once the undercooked half has cooled you can freeze it straight away, which should allow you to achieve fresher results and a better consistency once you come to thawing and reheating the soup at a later date.
Shelf life
If frozen correctly, your lentil soup can be frozen for up to 6 months. However, consume the soup at your earliest convenience, as the longer it's kept in the freezer, the more you risk changes to the flavor and texture.
Lentil type
You should also be aware that different types of lentils will freeze and thaw differently.
Green lentils freeze and thaw relatively well, but brown lentils hold more water so they're likely to thin out the texture of your soup when you defrost and reheat it.
Lentil soup is a hearty, wholesome dish and is packed full of protein and flavor, making it perfect for warming you up on those chilly winter nights.
Generally, lentil soup freezes well and can be kept for up to six months, but it's important you get the prep and defrosting process right to ensure you maintain the texture of your soup.
The most important factor to remember is to always let the soup cool completely before freezing it.
Freezing soup is a great way to ensure you have a big batch on hand in the freezer at all times.

Degrees of Freedom of members and joints of mechanisms govern the working of a machine. Each member of mechanism can move in certain directions or rotate about certain axes and is not allowed to move or rotate in other directions. Degrees of Freedom determine the possible movements of mechanisms.
Degrees of freedom (DoF) is related to the motion possibilities of rigid bodies. Kinematic definition for DoF of any system or its components would be "the number of independent variables or coordinates required to ascertain the position of the system or its components".
The concept of DoF in kinematics of machines is used in three ways. DoF of
1. A body relative to a reference frame.
2. A kinematic joint.
3. A mechanism.
Determining Degrees of freedom
Degrees of Freedom can be determined by analysis of motion of the concerned body or by determining the number of coordinates required to specify position of the body. In this article planar cases are considered which can be extended to spatial cases.
1. Degrees of freedom of a body relative to a specified reference frame
In a plane the position of a body relative to a reference frame can be specified by two position coordinates (say X and Y) and one coordinate (say theta)for specifying the orientation of the body. Total three coordinates are required to specify the position of the body if there are no constraints applied. The DoF will reduce as the motion of the body is restricted.
For example, a body is not allowed to move along one axis in the plane. As a result one DoF if lost thus leaving only two DoF.
2. Degrees of freedom of a kinematic joint
Two bodies connect with each other to form a joint. One body can move in a number of ways relative to the other and may be constrained in other ways. DoF of a kinematic joint is number of ways in which one member of the joint can move relative to the other member.
For example, revolute joint has one DoF as one member can move only in one way relative to the other member. It can only rotate about the axis of the joint. Prismatic joint also has only one DoF as one of the two members can slide along the other in one direction only.
Cylindrical joint has two DoF as one of the two members can rotate about the axis of the joint and can also translate along it. Two motions possible so two DoF.
3. Degrees of freedom of a mechanism
The DoF for a mechanism is defined as the number of coordinates or variables required to be specified such that the position and orientation of all the members of the mechanism can be stated as a function of time.
For determining the DoF for a mechanism we will start with assuming all the members of the mechanism free in plane and thus having three DoF each. Then we will apply constraints and DoF will reduce as the members are joined together to form mechanism.
Take the mechanism to be composed of 'n' members or links. Initially each link is assumed to be free and thus the mechanism has 3n DoF. One of the members is to be a base or frame link thus have zero DoF or it lost its all three DoF. The DoF left in the mechanism at this stage is 3n-3 or 3(n-1).
When the pairs of links form joints they will loose DoF. If the formed joint have 'Fi' DoF each then reduction in DoF is (3-Fi) as they were initially free (having 3 DoF). If there are 'j' number of joints then total reduction in DoF will be summation of (3-Fi) over 'j' number of joints. The net DoF for a mechanism can be given by


How can you tell the difference between male and female lady bugs?
 1. 0 Votes
 Apparently there's you need a microscope and an entomologist's degree. Female lady bugs tend to be slightly larger but males but they are otherwise hard to differentiate one from the other. One can tell the two apart best when they are mating as shown HERE; the male is clearly smaller than the female.

CHICAGO – March 3, 2016 – STATS LLC, the world's leading sports technology, data and content company, will have newly appointed Director of Data Science, Patrick Lucey, presenting a paper at the 2016 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Research Track Final.
The paper, written by Felix Wei, Patrick Lucey, Stuart Morgan, Machar Reid and Sridha Sridharan, is a collaboration between STATS newly-formed Data Science Team, the Australian Institute of Sport, Tennis Australia and Queensland University of Technology. The paper will be presented as a finalist in the conference's prestigious Research Paper Competition.
The paper, entitled The Thin Edge of the Wedge: Accurately Predicting Shot Outcomes in Tennis Using Style and Context Priors, aims to discover patterns of player movement and ball striking which are indicative of changing the probability of winning a point. Using optical-tracking data it is possible to form a representation of a player's style, enabling researchers to personalize interactions between players based on match context. This approach facilitates more accurate point prediction and an enhanced understanding of how points are won through the manipulation and exploitation of space on the court.
"In professional sport, there is an enormous amount of tracking data available. This paper showcases some methods we can use to maximize the value of it," said Lucey, Director of Data Science at STATS. "Even though the paper focuses on tennis, similar ideas can be applied across other sports. Considering how much of this data we have at STATS, and the charter of the Data Science Team is to generate new technology using this data, it is a very exciting time."
Each year the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Research Paper Competition presents exciting insights and fresh perspectives on a wide range of sports. An opportunity to highlight new research in front of an audience of industry decision-makers, the competition is an important platform for contributing to the analytical discourse in professional sports.

Why does Octoparse only click the first item in a loop and stop?
Monday, December 02, 2019
Sometimes, you might find the problem with a task where Octoparse extracts only the first item and stops to loop through other items. In fact, it can be considered that Octoparse cannot return to the list page after scraping data from detail page. This issue could be divided into two different situations.
1. The detail page is not set up to be opened in a new tab. Click the "Click Item" and you will find an advanced option named "New Tab". You should click on the "New Tab" and re-create the following steps.
Do remember to re-create the steps following the "Click Item" because Octoparse needs to identify a new page to extract and the previous steps would not work out.
2) The website is not compatible with Octoparse.
If Octoparse still cannot work even though you click "New Tab", incompatible issues must be considered. It relates to application compatibility and adaptability between Octoparse and websites you want to scrape. In this case, you should divide your task into two steps. Extract detail page URLs with Octoparse firstly, and then scrape data you want with the URL list. If you are new to URLs list extraction, please follow this video tutorial to learn more. [Click here ]
You can follow these steps to manually check if Octoparse can return to the list page once it enters the detail page.
1. Click "Go To Web Page" to open the website.
2. Click "Loop Item" box in your workflow.
3. Click "Click Item" to open the detail page.
4. Click "Loop Item" again and see if Octoparse can return to the list page. If not, you should follow the above steps to revise your workflow.

 - Social Examples (Basic)
 1. When John lost his job, he and his wife had to figure out a way of making ends meet until he could find another one.
 2. The government's decision to raise taxes will make it even harder for lower-income families to make ends meet.
 - Professional Examples (Basic)
 1. I have decided to raise the rate of pay for all our employees to a living wage so that everyone who works for us should be able to make ends meet.
 2. Providing medical insurance for employees means they can still make ends meet if met with a long-term medical diagnosis.
 3. It's clear from the way our revenue is going that we won't be able to make ends meet if our outgoings aren't cut significantly.

Conference paper Open Access
Surveillance systems currently deploy a variety of devices that can capture visual content (such as CCTV, body-worn cameras, and smartphone cameras), thus rendering the monitoring of the video footage obtained from multiple such devices a complex task. This becomes especially challenging when monitoring social events that involve large crowds, particularly when there is a risk of crowd violence. This paper presents and demonstrates a crowd violence detection system that can process, analyze, and alert the potential stakeholders when violence-related content is identified in crowd-based video footage. Based on deep neural networks, the proposed end-to-end framework utilizes a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to deal with the (near) real-time analysis of video streams and video files for crowd violence detection. The framework is trained, evaluated, and demonstrated using the most recent dataset related to crowd-violence, namely the Violent Flows dataset. The presented framework is provided as a standalone application for desktop environments and can analyze video streams and video files.

[lammps-users] Tdamp and T-coupling
Hello everyone,
In fix NVT and NPT command, there is a parameter named Tdamp, which is specified intime units and determines how rapidly the temperature is relaxed. We can read a parameter T-coupling in article, for example, Nosé–Hoover coupling constant is set to 5.
I am confused by the two parameter. What is the difference between them, and the relation of them. Could some kind people give me some suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
Tdamp is the coupling constant - i.e. the "mass" of the thermal
piston being coupled to.

When should you use
CType and when should you use
DirectCast and which one performs better? The short answer is:
DirectCast is twice
as fast for value types (integers, etc.), but identical for reference types.
The first thing to understand is that
DirectCast are not the same thing. Only
CType can convert the underlying object
to a new instance of an object of a different type. For example, you want to turn an integer into a string. Since an integer doesn't inherit a string, a new instance
String object must be created in order to store the number as a string.
CType can do this,
DirectCast cannot. Note: There are other ways
to do this too such as the
Convert.ToString method or
Dim MyInt As Integer = 123
Dim MyString1 As String = CType(MyInt, String)
Dim MyString2 As String = DirectCast(MyInt, String)
CType do have in common is their ability to convert an object to a new type based on inheritance or implementation.
For example, if you have a string but it is stored in a variable of type
Object, you can use
CType to treat that variable
as an object of type
String because type
String inherits type
Object. In this case, the underlying data in memory is not actually changing,
nor is any processing happening on that data.
Dim MyObject As Object = "Hello World"
Dim MyString1 As String = CType(MyObject, String)
Dim MyString2 As String = DirectCast(MyObject, String)
The danger: You must know what type you are dealing with before using
DirectCast. If you have a variable of type
Object and you
DirectCast to treat it as a
String, you'd better be sure that variable actually contains a
If an integer somehow found its way into that variable, an exception will be thrown.
A way to check in code if
DirectCast will work is by using the
If TypeOf MyObject Is String Then
So, assuming you are doing a conversion based on inheritance or implementation, you have a choice:
CType. Which is better?
DirectCast. According to the.NET documentation:
DirectCast does not use the Visual Basic run-time helper routines for conversion, so it can provide somewhat better
The included project runs a performance test on each scenario:
CType for value and reference types. Remember, reference types are types like Forms,
Controls, Strings, and custom classes, whereas Value types are types like integers, doubles, and custom structures. Here are the results; the numbers are in milliseconds
for 1 million iterations:
DirectCast on a reference type:
CType on a reference type:
DirectCast on a value type:
CType on a value type:
DirectCast out performs
CType for value types almost 2 to 1.
DirectCast also out performs
CType for reference types albeit by a much slimmer margin.
Note: Subsequent tests produced very similar results; try for yourself.
Another reason to use
DirectCast is that it's not VB.NET specific and is therefore more portable to other languages. So C# and other programmers might have an easier
time reading their code if they encountered

More info about the name "Lucetta"
Lucetta is a diminutive of Lucia, or Lucy. Lucy originates in Latin language and means "light of the day". It is ultimately derived from Lucia, the feminine form of Lucius. Lucy has always been one of the most popular feminine given names in the English-speaking countries and in variant spelling all over the world. Saint Lucy, or Lucia, was the 3rd century Christian martyr and patron saint of the blind. More recently, the famous bearer is the American actress Lucy Liu.

Biological distances calculated between archeologically recovered human skeletal collections are often used to assess the effects of temporal and spatial distance on subpopulation divergence. Although there are many previous empirical studies that examine skeletal material arrayed across time and/or space, the theoretical expectations for temporally or spatially related variation in biological characteristics have not been formally developed. In this paper I present the infinite island model, the unidimensional stepping-stone model, and the migration matrix method in forms that allow prediction of the genetic distance between groups separated by a given spatial and temporal lag. These models demonstrate that, if there is isolation by geographic distance, then the correlation between genetic and spatial distance (controlling for temporal distance) should be positive and the correlation between genetic and temporal distance (controlling for spatial distance) should be negative. I use observations of nonmetric traits in a sample of prehistoric crania from west-central Illinois to demonstrate the expected relationships among biological, temporal, and spatial distance. The results indicate that, once the effects of temporal trend are removed, biological and spatial distance are positively correlated and biological and temporal distance negatively correlated within this sample.

Small tip: use QueueBackgroundWorkItem for asynchronous work in ASP.NET
This is a small tip that I'm mainly publishing as a reminder to myself, but it could come in handy for someone else. Background processing tasks in ASP.NET are hard. At any time IIS could decide to recycle the application lifecycle. The usual solution is to farm out these tasks to a (Azure) queue and let some other machine (for example an Azure worker role) process that queue. However, with ASP.NET 4.5.2 Microsoft introduced the QueueBackgroundWorkItem method. This makes it possible to create small background processing tasks within the application lifecycle context. See the following (extremely simple) example:
 - Caveats: A task started this way will only delay the recycling of the app pool for 30 seconds. So you need to complete your work within those 30 seconds. If not, the task will be killed.
 - You need ASP.NET 4.5.2.

I have the following table for storing user data:
TABLE: users
maritalStatus (INT) - FK
gender (CHAR)
occupation (INT) - FK
Now I want to compare two users in this table to see how many columns match for any two given users (say user X & user Y)
I am doing it via mySQL Stored Procedures by getting each value separately and then comparing them
 SELECT maritalStatus from users where userID = X INTO myVar1;
 SELECT maritalStatus from users where userID = Y INTO myVar2;
 IF myVar1 = myVar2 THEN
 END IF;
Is there a shorter way using an SQL query where I can compare two rows in a table and see which columns are different? I dont need to know how much different they actually are, just need to know if they contain the same value. Also I will only be comparing selected columns, not every column in the user table.

This will select the number of columns that are not the same for user x and user y:
SELECT ( u1.martialStatus <> u2.martialStatus )
 + ( u1.gender <> u2.gender )
 + ( u1.occupation <> u2.occupation )
 users u1,
 users u2
WHERE u1.id = x
 AND u2.id = y

Excellect - thank you Peter, this is what I was looking for! – Sydney Boy May 9 '12 at 5:57
You can also use this:
 -- add other columns as needed
= (b.lastname,a.gender) as similar,
 a.lastname as a_lastname,
 a.firstname as a_firstname,
 a.age as a_age,
 'x' as x,
 b.lastname as b_lastname,
 b.firstname as b_firstname,
 b.age as b_age
from person a
cross join person b
where a.id = 1 and b.id = 2

You can count the number of users with the same columns using group by:
select u1.maritalStatus
, u1.gender
, u1.occupation
, count(*)
from users u1
group by
, u1.gender
, u1.occupation
share|improve this answer
Thanks for your response - however I need a query that specifically compares two given users. Your query simply lists the no. of users with a specific value. I would need to also specify which users I am comparing with a WHERE clause (e.g. WHERE userid = 87 AND userid = 88) - hope thats clear. – Sydney Boy May 8 '12 at 7:06
Well basicly the relevant row would give the value 2 if both users have the same maritalStatus, gender, occupation. You could add a WHERE u1.user_id IN (id1, id2) and see if there's one row with the value 2 returned. – Robin Castlin May 8 '12 at 7:07
_USER_: I think Peter Lang's answer might be what you're looking for? – Andomar May 8 '12 at 7:09
Just a continued example of Peter Langs suggestion in PHP:
$arr_cols = array('martialStatus', 'gender', 'occupation');
$arr_where = array();
$arr_select = array();
foreach($arr_cols as $h) {
 $arr_having[] = "compare_{$h}";
 $arr_select[] = "(u1.{$h}!= u2.{$h}) AS compare_{$h}";
$str_having = implode(' + ', $arr_where);
$str_select = implode(', ', $arr_where);
$query = mysql_query("
SELECT {$str_select}
FROM users AS u1, users AS u2
WHERE u1.userid = {$int_userid_1} AND u2.userid = {$int_userid_2}
HAVING {$str_having} > 0
/* Having case can be removed if you need the row regardless. */
/* Afterwards you check these values: */
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
foreach($arr_cols as $h)
 if ($row["compare_{$h}"])
 echo "Found difference in column {$h}!";

Whistling feathers sound predator alarm
crested pigeon
Flights of fear: this crested pigeon has a secret alarm in its feathers (Source: Geoffrey Dabb)
Behavioural ecologist Dr Robert Magrath and student Mae Hingee of the Australian National University in Canberra report their findings today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Birds hang around in a flock rather than on their own because there are more individuals looking out for predators, says Magrath: "There are more eyes looking for danger."
But if one individual in a large group spots a predator, how does it communicate this to the rest?
While some bird species use vocal alarms to warn the rest of the flock, not all do.
One that doesn't is the Australian crested pigeon, Ocyphaps lophotes.
The bird has a very curious whistling sound when it flies, which seems to change when it flies off in alarm, says Magrath.
"You can close your eyes and know when a crested pigeon is flying around," he says.
Magrath says the whistling sound is so loud some might suspect it was made vocally, but it is actually made by the pigeons' wings.
"In fact one of their common names is the whistle-winged pigeon," he says.
Feather alarm
Magrath and Hingee hypothesised that the crested pigeon might be using its whistling feathers as an alarm.
To test this, they made model hawks which they used to scare flocks of crested pigeons.
They recorded the whistling sound made by pigeons taking off in alarm and compared this to a recording of the whistling sound made by birds taking off routinely.
Magrath and Hingee then analysed the characteristics of the different wing whistles on computer.
They found that each downbeat and upbeat of the wings produced different tones but the alarm signal was faster and louder than the routine flight sound.
The next step was to independently test whether the birds responded differently to these two different sounds.
Magrath and Hingee recorded the alarm and routine flight sounds onto CD and then played them back to flocks of birds.
"If you played back the routine whistle they just kept on feeding as if nothing had happened," says Magrath.
"If you played back the alarm whistle they just shot off - 80% of the flocks just went for the hills. Clearly the birds are playing attention to these whistles."
Alarm feathers
The researchers now want to look more closely at how the wings produce their alarm sound.
Magrath says there is a special feather on the wings that appears to be key to the whistles.
This feather amplifies the differences between slow and fast wing flapping, turning a routine whistle into an alarm whistle, he says.
Magrath says future tests will involve the use of high speed photography to try and associate particular wing strokes with particular sounds.
Other tests will place individual feathers in a wind tunnel to see if the alarm whistle can be recreated, he says.

Encyclopedia of Sport: Every sport from around the world
Cowboy Action Shooting
Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) is a shooting sport which involves shooting at targets with a variety of guns that were typical of the late 19th century. The sport originated in the United States and is currently practiced in a few other countries as well.
In competitions, matches consist of several stages, with each stage presenting a different scenario that are typical of the old west. Shooters have to carry four guns for a mach (two revolvers, one shotgun, and one rifle). Each stage requires up to 10 revolver rounds, up to 10 rifle rounds, or up to eight shotgun rounds. Some stages will restrict the use of only one or two types of guns. Targets used are usually steel plates that get knocked down when hit.
cowboy shooting cowboy shooting
Most matches are time based, where each shooter completes the stages individually against a clock. In each stage, targets have to be shot in a specific order. For each missed target 5 seconds, and for targets shot out-of-order 10 seconds, are added to the shooters final time as a penalty. After all deductions, the competitor with the fastest time for all stages combined is declared as the winner.
The most popular competitions for CAS is the National and World Championships where over 700 competitors take part.

The largest insect known to have existed looked like a gigantic dragonfly. It is not known whether it is a direct ancestor of modern dragonflies but it is more directly related to a griffinfly. The largest of these was the Meganeuropsis Permiana, which could reach a wingspan of 28″ or 71cm. There are many theories as to what caused the creatures to get so big but one is that the early atmosphere on earth had 20% more oxygen than we have now.
How big is that? Well, it's gigantic. The largest dragonfly that currently exists only has a wingspan of 7.5″ so the ancient relative is nearly four times as large. Even in body mass, it was the largest insect. It was even large than this thing:
In fact, here's a to scale model of it on a log:
Well, at least it wasn't a mosquito!
