The amount of units in closing stock is calculated as follows:
Opening units + Actual units produced – Actual units sold.
Therefore closing stock equals = 3,500 + 64,000 + 62,000 = 5,500 units.
Under Marginal costing each unit of orange juice will be valued at the variable cost of production. This is calculated as follows:
Total variable production cost divided by the number of actual units produced.
Variable cost per unit = $3,200,000/64,000 units = $50 per unit.
Therefore the value of the closing stock under marginal costing would be $50 x 5,500 unit = $275,000.
The value of the opening stock under marginal costing would be the total of opening inventory given minus the value of the fixed production overheads included:
Therefore the opening stock = $210,000 - $35,000 = $175,000.
Now that all of the workings have been completed the Marginal Costing Income Statement of Aqualead for the year ended 31st March, 2011 can be prepared.
Below is the Absorption Costing Income Statement of Aqualead for the year ended 31st March, 2011.
Now that the Absorption and Marginal Costing Income Statements have been prepared the reconciliation between the Net Operating Incomes calculated under each method can be completed.
I hope that you found this proposed solution helpful! If you did please share it! Also, feel free to ask any questions or to comment below. Best of luck!

Change Collision Shapes
A collision shape is the surface area around an object that gets affected when two objects from different collision groups collide.
For example, even though it looks like the ball in the image on the left can clearly make it over the cone obstacle, it will actually collide with it. If you click the Collision Shape Editor button in the scene, you will see in the image on the right that the cubic collision shape of the ball will graze the top of the conic collision shape of the obstacle. If not, see Viewing Collision Shapes.
Here's what you need to know about collision shapes:
- A collision shape may be the same physical shape as the object or be of different shape, for example, a cone can have a cylinder collision shape.
- You can expand a collision shape in size, as if to add padding to the object, typically to increase the collision surface of the object.
- You can also move a collision shape away from the object.
Thus, when two assets collide, for example, when a character runs into an obstacle, it is their collision shapes that get affected, not the objects themselves.
To change a collision shape of an asset:
- On the Mind Map, double-click the World node where you want to change a collision shape of an asset.
The Scene Editor is displayed.
- On the toolbar, click the Collision Shape Editor button.
- Select the asset in the scene.
- In the Options panel on the right, in the Collision Shape field, select the shape you need.
- Mesh—A sophisticated shape, with outer and inner vertices created to reflect the shape details, such as a hole in a torus, for example, which would let objects go through it during a collision.
- Hull—A "solid" shape that reflects only the outer frame of the selected shape, without details such as a hole in a torus, for example. No objects can go through a Hull collision shape.
- If you select Mesh or Hull, in the Collision Mesh field that appears below, click the Edit icon and select the appropriate shape from Mesh Manager and click Save.

Class: How to write in your siddur
Why use a siddur
1. Talmud Yerushalmi, Berachot 2:4
2. Tosefta Shabbat 13:4
3. Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Tefilah 4:19
4. Pri Megadim, Orach Chaim 53 Mishbetzot Zahav 15
5. Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 96:2
Our problems: Fixed text; Blob of text; Familiarity
6. Mishnah Berachot 4:4
רבי אליעזר אומר העושה תפלתו קבע אין תפלתו תחנונים
7. Talmud, Bava Batra 164b-165a
8. Rambam, Moreh haNevuchim 3:51
Writing in a siddur?
9. Mishneh Berurah 96:9
10. Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 90:23
Practical tips
1. Mark phrases for special concentration
2. Mark structural/poetic elements that provide greater meaning
3. Add wake-up calls
4. Mark lines requiring explanation
5. Write in food for thought
Writing notes
1. Pencil, small marks, change them regularly
2. Spread marks throughout the various prayers
3. Be ready to replace your siddur
4. Don't distract from the davening
 1. Moradik!!!
 Please post the link when this is online (and maybe even the full source sheet).
 2. I use these with my students. _URL_
 Each color flag means something different. Green is congregational singing. Yellow is silent/individual. Red is repeat. You can make notes on the flag without having to write in the siddur itself.
 We also do a lot with post-it notes.
 3. Cool. So you are the one responsible for all the yidden with flags in their siddurim and machzorim.
 Actually I currently use thoses flags to highlight the order of notes that I make in seforim.
 4. One of my first Bar Mitzvah students used my transliterated siddur for his preparation and for the service, and I still have his notes, highlighting, etc. throughout the service. I can't really pray from it anymore because it's distracting, but I love it and it will always be a memento of his Bar Mitzvah. He had post-its and tabs in addition to the notes and highlighting.
 I later started working for a synagogue here that doesn't allow students to make any marks in their books.
 My own siddur has tabs and very light pencil marks.
 5. Left Wing Modern Orthodox: 79%
 Right Wing Modern Orthodox: 75%
 Left Wing Yeshivish/Chareidi: 36%
 Right Wing Yeshivish/Chareidi: 15%
 I don't know why it called me orthodox at all. Maybe because I see the Talmud as a source of value and morality.
 6. Morah BetsyGood system! In this class I'm going for writing to add meaning/inspiration, but that does sound like a good way to handle the basic need for "What am I supposed to be doing here?"
 7. NeilIt's now on-line; I'd love your feedback!
 8. Will listen as I prepare the mashed potatoes in the AM. Thanks!
 9. Interesting.
 I've gone through phases. Depending on different things going on, where I'm holding [as the torah true say], what siddur is my Siddur Du Jour etc.
 First and foremost, again depending on the siddur: marking sheva na/nach and kamatz gadol/katan. That's the first thing I used to do soon as I'd crack the spine.
 In my zealot days, I'd photocopy things missing from the Siddur Du Jour. Anim zemirot from the Siddur HaGra, for instance. Tefillat Leshlom hamedinah missing from almost every siddur.
 I'd photocopy those charts of interruptions, when you can say amen, etc. at which parts of davenen.
 I'd mark things like in Az Yashir, which pesukim are said in the special trop. Mark the trop for the kedushah in yotzer or. I used to be a real zealot.
 Mark certain tefillot where acharonim advise special attention, and the merits of special attention: yehi kavod, aleinu etc.
 Word counts. Word counts in the amidah for each brachah. Numbering shem Hashem in the amidah, or in yehi kavod, or in baruch Hashem or in az yashir etc.
 Marking certain kabbalistic roshei teivot, phrases where the roshei teivot had significance. I was a little kabbalist in my heyday. Marking the 15 vav's for example in emet veyatziv.
 Notes to remember the 6 zechirot in Ahavah Rabbah. Notes to remember the aseret hadibrot in shema.
 Notes for halachic stuff, like not to say the tamid before alot, or hanotein lasechvi vinah.
 There's no end.
 With regard to the comments above about post-it flags, this online shiur about post-its on shabbat might be interesting to some:
 10. Wait, Melech -
 "In your zealot days"? When did those end?
 11. Great stuff, Rabbi.
 I'm curious, though: in the context of your shiur, did you differentiate between doing this as preparation for tefillah vs. during the tefillah itself?
 I used to use an Artscroll siddur until I realized that I was going through the commentary when I was supposed to be davening. That was mussar in itself.
 12. Shmuel, that's why I predict taht after this shur is listened to by the masses, we'll all go out and buy the Birnbaum! It has no commentary and pleny of room to write it.
 It will be a retro revolution!
 13. Shmuel-
 I believe in only minimal notes - underlines, circling, asterisks. Maybe a word or two to hint at a greater idea.
 I do think it's worthwhile to make a note like that during davening (although not the Amidah), if it will enhance the experience.
 14. I finished the shiur tonight and actually went through mussaf for Rosh Chodesh tonight and started underlining certain things. For me it was less daunting to start w/ the amidah then starting at the beginning of the siddur.
 The shiur was great, but please post the link to the "book review lady". I found the suggestions practicle and your "program" really does allow for one to personalize the set tefillos. The actual workshop examples, like "Baruch She'ehmar" and "Ashrei" were helpful.
 Post importantly, just making an attempt to make notes on davening allows me to REALLY take time to read tefillos.
 15. Just finished the shiur tonight.
 I thought it was great, but would like the link for the "book review lady". I actually sat down and went through mussaf for Rosh Chodesh and made a few notes and did some underlining. It seemed less daunting to do this than actually start at the beginning of the siddur (for now).
 I thought the suggestions in the shiur to be practicle and loved the short workshops on "Baruch Sheh'ehmar" and "Ashrei".
 I think think the best part, for me, of attempting to write in my siddur is the fact that I will ACTUALLY have to think about the tefillos.
 16. Hi Neil,
 Thanks for your comments! The book reviewer is in Source 11 on this post.
 17. Thanks. That makes sense, seeing how I listened finished the shiur tonight and saw your sources last week.

A new concept enhances the capability of photo-thermal absorption measurements with transversal probe beam guiding by overcoming drawbacks such as a lack of sensitivity for materials with low photo-thermal response and/or round substrate geometry. The sandwich concept using the laser-induced deflection technique is introduced and tested for the investigation of highly reflecting (HR) coatings. The idea behind the sandwich concept is based on the decoupling of the optical materials for the pump and probe beams. This is realized by either placing a HR coated rectangular substrate in between two optical (sandwich) plates or attaching a HR coated thin round substrate onto one optical plate. For both configurations, the sandwich concept results in a strong increase in sensitivity for the measurement of HR coatings deposited onto photo-thermally insensitive substrates. Experiments reveal that for a substrate, up to two orders of magnitude enhancement in sensitivity can be achieved.

Scientists explain squirrel promiscuity
QMI Agency
First posted: | Updated:
It's not in the genes, but in the number of knocks at the door.
Researchers at the University of Guelph have found that something a lot more circumstantial than genetics is behind female squirrels' promiscuity.
"Their behaviour is overwhelmingly influenced by opportunity," said Erin McFarlane, a graduate student and member of the team that looked into this issue that has long baffled biologists.
The findings are published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters.
Female squirrels are known to sometimes have as many mates as possible, behaviour that doesn't always make sense for females, McFarlane said.
The researchers found that the more males there were in the area interested in mating, the more squirrels a female would mate with, McFarlane said.
"A female squirrel that only chose to mate with one male could have a daughter that mates with many males," integrative biology professor Andrew McAdam said in a release. "It seems the tendency to mate with fewer males isn't something that is being passed down from generation to generation."
The discovery that the mating patterns of female squirrels aren't genetic means mating habits in the species are unlikely to evolve, the researchers found.
The researchers analyzed data from 108 mate chases involving 85 female squirrels. The female squirrels mated with anywhere from one to 14 partners.

Advanced Rudder Stroke Techniques
The cross bow rudder strokes are similar to the bow rudder strokes. Yet, there is a slight difference. The bow passenger performs this act on the opposite side in which he normally paddles the kayak. The cross bow rudder stroke unlike the bow rudder stroke does not give you the time to switch hands. During this action you must rotate or swivel your body. While in position prepare to swivel your body around toward the opposite direction, and then cross the bow.
At the same time you want to scoop the blade downward toward the water. To avoid ensnaring your hand between the gunwale and blade, make sure you bring the lower hand up, and place it on the shank (shaft) a few inches. Keep the paddle gripped near the armpit (left) and make sure the paddle's blade dips into the water at a 40 degree angle.
Tip: You can use the sweep strokes at a 90-degree angle and reach the same affect you would get from the cross bow rudder method. Sweep strokes are commonly used by kayakers and canoeists to turn the boat slightly without interrupted the direction.
How sweep strokes work? You have choice. The first choice is to push over the bow. The second choice is to drive the kayak forward. The third method is to pull the stern toward the paddle.
How do other types of kayaking strokes work? Well, it depends on the stroke in which many are employed in kayaking. For instance, the stern rudder stroke is similar to the bow rudder strokes. The bow rudder is the process where the bow passenger uses his paddles to steer the boat in the course which he is paddling the kayak. The stern stroke is often utilized when the stern passenger cannot use the J-stroke method to redirect his kayak. Sometimes the direction the kayak is headed needs readjustment, thus the kayaker will employ the stern stroke to redirect the boat. Unlike the bow rudder stroke the person paddling the kayak will reverse his sweep and take a 120-degree angled turn rather than a 40-degree turn.
Tip: If you need to make an immediate turn while kayaking the bow rudder strokes is ideal, yet a draw stroke would be more beneficial if you spotted a obstacle in the waters that could cause damage. The bow rudder strokes will slow the kayak.
Kayaks are sport canoes, which are often lightweight and made of fiberglass. The boats are utilized in whitewater rafting, leisure, and often in competitive sports. The older models were made of animal skin, which *Inuit boats held one or two passengers, which both would use double-blade paddles to control the kayak. Sometimes people use kayaks to travel or race.
Facts: *Inuit is Artic people, or people from Greenland. The members of these lands lived in coastal areas of the Artic, Greenland, and Canada. The languages of Inuit descendants constituted languages of three branches. The branches included the Eskimo Aleut family.
Canoeing has dated back for centuries, which the kayak is a form of canoe. Today, people are enjoying whitewater kayaking, traveling, cruising, and more. In fact, the Internet has posted many sites that offer vacations that include whitewater kayaking. Kayaks are far more dangerous than canoes, since kayaks have closed seating arrangements, which you are often strapped in with knee and thigh straps. If you capsize (flip) the kayak, you had better learn steps to take to save your life.

Paintballs Can Cause 'Devastating' Eye Injuries
Eye protection can prevent nearly all injuries, reports study in American Journal of Ophthalmology
Philadelphia, 15 January 2009 – Paintballs can cause severe and 'visually devastating' eye injuries, especially when used in unsupervised settings without proper eye protection, reports a study in the February issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology, published by Elsevier.
"Eye injuries secondary to high-velocity paintballs can cause tremendous damage to vital ocular structures often requiring extensive surgical intervention," comments Dr. Kyle J. Alliman of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "Unfortunately, visual loss is often permanent."
Dr. Alliman and colleagues analyzed the characteristics and outcomes of 36 patients treated for paintball injuries to the eye at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between 1998 and 2005. The patients were mainly young men, average age 21 years.
The injuries were often quite severe, including rupture of the eyeball in 28 percent of patients and detached retina in 19 percent. Surgery was required in 81 percent of patients—including eventual removal of the eye (enucleation) in 22 percent. Even when the eye was saved, many patients had permanent visual loss. Overall, near-normal vision (20/40 or better) was restored in only 36 percent of eyes.
All of the patients were injured when using paintballs in a "non-recreational, uncontrolled setting," according to Dr. Alliman. None of the injuries occurred in formal, sponsored event. In all but one of the 36 cases, the patient was not wearing any type of eye protection when the injury occurred.
Paintball has become a popular recreational activity, with an estimated 10 million participants in the United States alone. The risk of paintball-related eye injuries has long been recognized. Organizers of formal paintball games require eye protection and education, which has significantly reduced the risk of severe eye injuries.
The researchers hope their study will draw attention to the alarming frequency of serious eye injuries related to paintballs, including the potential for permanent visual loss. "Awareness of the severe nature of paintball-related eye injury is paramount," says Dr. Alliman.
The new analysis suggests that severe paintball-related eye injuries are most likely to occur when paintballs are used in informal, uncontrolled settings. "Both the consumer and distributor alike must realize the seriousness of injury caused by the improper use of paintballs in order to implement effective precautionary strategies," Dr. Alliman adds. "Eye protection can prevent over 97 percent of injuries."

Shaping Your Flower Arrangement – The 6 Basic Shapes
Flower Arranging expert Louise Larabie shares her tips on the basic of a good flower arrangement with Dot Com Women. For any successful flower arrangement, a well-balanced shape and a proper balance and proportion are the most essential steps. Here are Louise's insider tips on how to shape your arrangements as well as her guidelines for bringing the perfect proportion to any flower arrangement.
These are the 6 basic flower arrangement shapes that are the easiest to start with.
1. Arc Shape
Arc shaped Flower Arrangement
2. Circle Shape
circle shape
3. Curve Shape
4. Right Angle Shape
right triangle
5. 'S' Curve Shape
S curve
6. Triangular Shape
Each of these arrangements is a combination of good proportion and balance.
All good flower arrangements have 'pleasing proportions' which means it looks comfortable within the size, shape and style of container.
If you are showing a single perfect bloom in a bud vase then you can disregard all but the first rule.
These are the basic rules for good flower arranging:
 1. Low arrangements should be a little wider than their container.Tall arrangements should be 1 1/2 to 2 times taller than their container.
 2. If your arrangement has a theme choose or make a container big enough to hold your arrangement.
 3. Put enough oasis in the base to fill it up level with the top of the container. Cut off any that goes above the lip of the container.
 4. Imagine an invisible outline of the shape you want to create and chose which side will be the front of your arrangement.
 5. Choose your tallest and widest flowers and arrange them in your container first within the outline of your chosen shape.
 6. Fill in around the base and lower part of the arrangement with more large blooms.
 7. Working up and outward user smaller blooms or filler to fill in the arrangement.
 8. Use the smallest blooms, foliage and filler to hide stems, oasis and the edge of container.
There are 2 kinds of balance; asymmetrical where the 2 sides don't match but appear to have equal weight or strength to our eyes and symmetrical where the 2 sides are nearly identical.
If your arrangement looks like it's about to tip over then, visually, it isn't properly balanced.
Good balance can be achieved following a few simple rules:
 1. The bottom half of the arrangement should be BIG enough to support the weight of the top.
 2. The left side should have the same amount of interest as the right side.
 3. Leave a little more s p a c e around anything you want to stand out.
 4. Keep it simple. Don't overd esign your arrangement: too many types of flowers will look messy.
Remember how well-balanced plants look in the garden all by themselves? They could be an inspiration for your arrangements.
Flower arranging and Art books have lots of information about balance, proportion and scale. They can give you lots of great ideas, too.

The purpose of this research was to explore cultural similarities and differences that could be found from analyzing the images of the Kinetic Family Drawing and their accompanying narratives. The current literature on the Kinetic Family Drawing as an assessment tool and the literature on the role of culture in psychotherapy were examined. The researchers have collected Kinetic Family Drawing images and narratives from groups of college students from the United States and groups of college students from two different areas in Mexico. Participants were asked to perform the Kinetic Family Drawing, title the drawing, write a brief narrative about the drawing, and list any cultural affiliations that may aid in contextualizing the drawing. Researchers used the Kinetic Family Drawings and the accompanying narratives collected to look for similarities and differences in perceptions of family among the different cultures and the ways in which environment and culture may impact family and family perceptions

Why are sulfates in shampoo bad?
Quick Answer
Sulfates in shampoo are bad because they are known to dry out hair when used frequently. Using shampoos that contain sulfates can lead to dryness, irritation and breakage.
Continue Reading
Full Answer
Sulfate shampoos don't need to be completely eliminated from a person's hair care routine if one is currently being used and its performance is satisfactory. Since sulfates are meant to remove buildup, sometimes sulfate shampoos can be useful; however, their usage should be limited to prevent any dryness, irritation or buildup. If the performance of a sulfate shampoo is unsatisfactory, then switch to a sulfate-free shampoo; this will still remove any buildup but will be milder.

AUS furthers research and development in 3D concrete printing through 3D printed home project
In a collaboration between industry and academia, American University of Sharjah (AUS) faculty and students will help create the first 3D printed house in Sharjah at the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park). The house is expected to be completed in 2019.
While maintaining a traditional appearance, the house will be printed using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology. This initiative will help bring Sharjah to the global forefront in the sustainable construction sector and establish the SRTI Park as a regional development center for 3D printing construction.
AUS has been teaching 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) as part of the Master of Science in Civil Engineering program since 2010. The university is working on the development of this technology and training students in conducting applied scientific research, in conjunction with faculty members and external researchers from specialized companies, including Middle East Engineering Technologies (MEET), which focuses on building 3D printed structures. AUS recently issued a new faculty research grant that will advance ongoing 3DCP focused research.
Dr. Adil Al-Tamimi, Professor of Civil Engineering, teaches 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) at AUS:
"I have been teaching 3DCP as a theoretical concept with the aim to motivate our students to explore new innovation in the construction industry. The students in this course usually design, produce and evaluate some innovative sustainable concretes similar to 3DCP as part of the course. They will now be able to put their classroom learning into real-life applications and get hands-on training through this collaboration."
The current research is an extension of work begun in 2017, when Dr. Al-Tamimi and his students were invited by Hussain Al Mahmoudi, CEO of the SRTI Park, to join a workshop on 3D concrete printing led by the Finnish Oulu University. During the workshop, two groups of AUS civil engineering students presented the initial findings of their final year design project on 3D concrete printing, which focused on developing a special concrete mixture suitable for robotic production.
This research has continued to progress. One of the two student groups won first place in a 2018 3D concrete printing mixture competition organized by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In 2019, three students in the AUS Master of Science in Civil Engineering program began conducting further research on 3DCP. Haidar Al Haidary, a 2018 graduate of the program, is now employed in the field of 3DCP, working with Middle East Engineering Technologies (MEET).
Elaborating on the groups' research, Dr. Al-Tamimi, said:
"One group is evaluating the bond between multi-layers of the 3DCP produced by nozzle extrusion method simulating robotic action, and the other aims to increase structural performance of the 3DCP in flextural and tensile strengths."
3DCP is considered to be one of the most innovative and reliable ways to build residential units through the use of digital machinery. According to Al Mahmoudi, as traditional construction costs increase, the 3D technology is expected to reduce overall costs. SRTI Park aims to provide a regional center for the research and development of 3D printing construction, and AUS students and faculty will gain hands-on experience with the technology through this collaboration.


Grading Requirement
Kata badges and grading requirements
All students must have achieved the required number of training hours and courses (course attendance and grading history is kept in the back of the students licenses.) before any grading can be considered.
Under Sixteens
In order to ensure that the students are of the correct standard for each grading, they must also have achieved the correct Kata badges for the level grade they wish to take.
To be awarded a badge the student must demonstrate to the instructor that they can complete the required Kata correctly. There is no limit to the number of attempts a student can make for each Kata badge but only two attempts are allowed per training session.
Adult members 16+ are not required to complete the Kata Badge's but they must have demonstrated to the instructor that they can complete the necessary Kata to the required standard.

The value of future opportunities: comparison of information technology firms and forest companies
Kärri, Timo (1998)
Aineistoon ei liity tiedostoja.
There are several alternatives for valuing the future opportunities of firms. The traditional appraisal methods for single projects such as net present value, internalrate of return and payback rules have been criticized in recent years. It has been said that they do not take into account all growth opportunities of firms. At the company level, business valuation is traditionally based on financial and market information. Yield estimates, net worth values and market values of shares are commonly used. Naturally, all valuation methods have their own strengths and shortcomings. In the background of most estimation rules there is the idea that the future of the firms is quite clear and predictable. However, in recent times the business environment of most companies has changed to a more unpredictable direction and the effects of uncertainty have increased. There has been a growing interest in estimating the risks and values of future possibilities. The aim of the current paper is to describe the difference between the value of futureopportunities in information technology firms and forest companies, and also toanalyse the backgrounds for the observed gap.

Auto-splitting video file in equal chunks with ffmpeg and python
UPDATE: The source code for this simple script has been moved to GitHub, get it here:
Recently I needed to upload a whole bunch of long video files. Maximum allowed length for each video was just few minutes, while the actual length of files I tried to upload were about an hour each. FFmpeg is really great for splitting the video files and Python is quite handy for automating the task. Combining two together in this handy little script(see below). The script below takes a video file and a chunk size in seconds and splits the video file into chunks using ffmpeg, so each chunk is self contained, playable video.
Source code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import subprocess
import re
import math
from optparse import OptionParser
re_length = re.compile(length_regexp)
def main():
 (filename, split_length) = parse_options()
 if split_length <= 0:
 print "Split length can't be 0"
 raise SystemExit
 shell = True,
 stdout = subprocess.PIPE
 print output
 matches =
 if matches:
 video_length = int( * 3600 + \
 int( * 60 + \
 print "Can't determine video length."
 raise SystemExit
 split_count = math.ceil(video_length/float(split_length))
 if(split_count == 1):
 raise SystemExit
 for n in range(0, split_count):
 split_str = ""
 if n == 0:
 split_start = 0
 split_start = split_length * n
 print "About to run: "+split_cmd+split_str
def parse_options():
 parser = OptionParser()
 dest = "filename",
 help = "file to split, for example sample.avi",
 type = "string",
 action = "store"
 dest = "split_size",
 type = "int",
 action = "store"
 (options, args) = parser.parse_args()
 if options.filename and options.split_size:
 return (options.filename, options.split_size)
 raise SystemExit
if __name__ == '__main__':
 except Exception, e:
 print "Exception occured running main():"
 print str(e)

18 thoughts on "Auto-splitting video file in equal chunks with ffmpeg and python
 1. Hi there,
 I found this blog entry to be just what i needed. I am currently trying to split a single video file into several pieces. However, after tinkering around with your script, i have a few questions that i need help with:
 1. What video files is the script meant for? I tinkered with AVI, MOV, and WMV so far, and i'm not having much luck getting mov and wmv to split and play correctly.
 2. Although my avi file does get split, i hit two problems:
 ___a. some of the split files aren't the correct chunk size (ie. i had the split_size = 30 (seconds), yet some of the files were 60 or more
 ___b. the first split file played the video correctly, but the rest merely displayed a still image and audio continued. Know what is happening?
 3. Could you point me in the right direction to learn more about ffmpeg btw?
 Thanks again for this entry and your help in advance.
 Please let me know! And please don't consider this spam!
 2. Hey Matt,
 Glad that you found this useful.
 In regards to your questions:
 1. This script is really just a convenience wrapper around FFmpeg, so you can use whatever formats your install of ffmpeg supports. To add support for more formats you may need to recompile ffmpeg. For mov and wmv you need to make sure you have appropriate codes. I think you need libx264 for mov. Not sure what you need to wmv. Try googling ffmpeg wmv or something like that
 2. This might be a bug… or your ffmpeg missing some libs. Can you upload your avi file to something like http// and give me a link to take a look at? Also what command line params did u use?
 3. FFmpeg docs are pretty good – but might be a bit rigid. Just google for ffmpeg commands to get a bunch of articles about various handy things you can do with it
 3. I've also found that splitting WMV's does not seem to work. No matter what you specify in the -t option, it will always encode the whole video (which I believe is a bug in ffmpeg).
 4. I know this is somewhat late from when this was originally posted, but for me this script raises an invalid range() argument exception – math.ceil() returns a float (at least for me in python 2.7.1 and all 2.x.x as far as I recall). Thus line 33 should read:
 5. The script should also set '-acodec copy' so that the audio is not re-encoded when the file is split up. Just split the audio with the video.
 Also, the range error is still broken – can you update that?
 6. I put the int fix in and added -acodec copy but also changed ffmpeg instances to avconv. Worked on large mp4 videos.
 Thanks very much for the script.
 Now I can incorporate it all into a batch spilitter in bash.

"file" provides more granularity than that, recognising many specific
formats, both text and binary.
First, it uses "magic number" checks, checking for known signature bytes
(e.g. "#!" or "JFIF") at the beginning of the file. If those checks fail
it checks for common text encodings. If those also fail, it reports "data".
Also, UTF-16-encoded text is recognised as text, even though it may
contain a high proportion of NUL bytes.

5 Digital Product Examples That Are Created And Sold Most
by Alex Mansour
2 months ago · 3 min read
The huge spread of digital technologies and e-commerce has made us see what are known as digital products. Unlike physical products that have been known for years, digital products don't have a physical existence. But they still make huge sales, with many digital product examples that may use or consume every day.
digital products
Having digital products, as a business or individual, can have many advantages. You can sell these digital products more easily. Without having to make huge investments or build warehouses or factories.
If you are considering making a digital product, here are examples of some of the most widely sold and created digital products that you can create and sell as a person or a business.
Software or application
One of the most widely created and sold digital products is software products. Many of the software that you use daily is digital products by businesses or individuals. They can be in the form of PC software, a mobile application, or a web app.
Whether it is software for editing photos or a mobile application for listening to music. It is a digital product that makes money for the business behind it. The software industry is growing rapidly around the world. Many software products are becoming more and more important.
While businesses can create their software themselves, they can also outsource their software to a software development company.
The transition from physical book copies to digital book copies was just a matter of time. Right now the transition is happening at high rates. As more and more people are reading books digitally instead of physical books.
With many choices of laptops, tablets, mobile phones with large screens, and ebook readers like Amazon Kindle, fewer people are in need of physical book copies.
Ebooks are emerging widely since then and became something on their own. Becoming a new publication that businesses and individuals can use to deliver information to audiences. That is without the hassle of traditional publishing.
Ebooks are often in an informal language just like any web content. They have no limitations for page numbers or any other aspect. Any business or individual can create an Ebook to let people learn something, conclude or explain it with infographics or checklists.
Audio and video
One of the biggest examples of digital products currently is audio and video products. Whether they are audiobooks, audio files that you can use as resources, or videos published in one of many ways. They are all digital products that people and businesses sell.
With cheaper equipment and platforms for anyone to sell or publish audio and video. Anyone and any business can create high-quality audio and video. In addition, they can sell them or publish them to help them share knowledge or achieve business goals.
Video games
The video games industry is one of the biggest industries when it comes to digital products. Therefore, for people to buy and enjoy video games, whether, for PCs, game consoles, or mobile phones, you can buy them digitally.
Not all video games are big and created by huge companies. Either one person or a small team creates them, they are still making big amounts of money. Which is the greatest thing about digital game platforms like Steam. One of the best things about digital products, as an individual or business, can benefit no matter how small it is.
Online courses
Online courses are among the biggest examples of digital products, considering how widely spread and popular they are. Most of us have enrolled in an online course or more. They are a great solution for learning that the digital world is offering us.
Anyone can create an online course and sell it online. Even without needing to create a platform from scratch to sell it, platforms like Udemy and Teachable make it much easier.

When working with a multi-terrain setup, it often happens that you get unwanted seams or steps in your world - either on the border between two terrains, or at the edge of a stamp. This article explains how you can get rid off those seams in an elegant way with the stamper in Gaia 2 / Pro.
Our example setup: Two terrains with unaligned heights between the borders.
1. Remove all masks from the stamper. Set the Operation Type to "Set Height", then Add a Distance Mask with
Influence: Global
Axes: X or Z, depending on which axis your seam / edge runs across.
For the Distance Mask Curve set up a hill-like curve. Combined your mask settings should look like this:
You should now be seeing some "hill-like" structure that mimics the curve of the distance mask when the stamp preview is enabled, depending on the height of the stamper it should either be a hill or a valley in your existing terrains:
2. Position the Stamper exactly above the edge you want to blend away. You can experiment a bit with the height to decide at which height the transition should take place:
3. In theory you can stamp now and the two terrains will be merged according to the stamp preview. However you will notice that the seam area will look a bit bland and featureless. You can change this by adding an additional image mask, then selecting a stamp image that shows interesting features that you would like to see in the transition:
Keep in mind that you can just open the stamp browser to flip through the available stamps,the preview will update accordingly:
If you are happy with the result, you can press the stamp button, and you should see your stamp / edge being replaced with the transition you just created. Here are the two terrains from the example setup at the beginning:
If you don't like the transition taking place over such a large area across your world, you can also fine tune the curve, but if you overdo it, it might become obvious that thereis some sort of artifical transition going on between the terrains:


How to block requests by referrer using .htaccess
There may be times you want to stop site visitors from clicking from a link on another site. This is called blocking the "referrer", it's also used to prevent image hot-linking.
A "referrer" is another site that is linking to yours. When a user clicks on the link on the other site, they are considered the referrer. In a basic referrer block, you block the traffic by specifying what domains (referrers) may not send you traffic.
For example, the following code will block any visitors that visit by clicking on links at, or block any pages or images included in that are from your site (iframes, images, etc).
RewriteEngine On
# Next line may be required, uncomment it if you're having trouble
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} [NC]
RewriteRule.* - [F]
The thing about this is it does not stop someone from simply typing in your website address into their browser; it specifically stops traffic that originates from that other domain.
If you simply want to stop image hot-linking, we just block the file types, rather than all traffic. The only line to change is the RewriteRule line. You have two choices: To block the images completely, or to present an image that says that you don't allow hotlinks.
Option 1: Forbid the request
Option 2: Redirect to something else
Feel free to adapt this to your needs.
Questions, comments, or feedback? Got another method that you think is better, or am I missing something? Please feel free to share it in the comments below. Thank you!

This photo of the Campbell's Covered Bridge Marker was captured by Vincent Flores of Greer in 2010. The inscription on the marker reads:
This bridge, built in 1909, is the last extant covered bridge in S.C. Built by Charles Irwin Willis (1878–1966), it was named for Alexander Lafayette Campbell (1836–1920), who owned and operated a grist mill here for many years. Measuring 35 feet long and 12 feet wide, it is an excellent example of a four-span Howe truss, featuring diagonal timbers and vertical iron rods.


. Find the closest species to a selected species in a tree. For example, find the species closest to the European human.
 [h_all,h_leaves] = select(tree,'reference',3,...
 h_all is a list of indices for the nodes within a patristic distance of 0.6 to the European human leaf, while h_leaves is a list of indices for only the leaf nodes within the same patristic distance.
 A patristic distance is the path length between species calculated from the hierarchical clustering distances. The path distance is not necessarily the biological distance.
 3. List the names of the closest species.
 subtree_names = names(h_leaves)
 The MATLAB software prints a list of species with a patristic distance to the European human less than the specified distance. In this case, the patristic distance threshold is less than 0.6.
 subtree_names =
 4. Extract a subtree from the whole tree by removing unwanted leaves. For example, prune the tree to species within 0.6 of the European human species.
 leaves_to_prune = ~h_leaves;
 pruned_tree = prune(tree,leaves_to_prune)
 h = plot(pruned_tree,'orient','top');
 ylabel('Evolutionary distance')
 The MATLAB software returns information about the new subtree and plots the pruned phylogenetic tree in a Figure window.

 The Phylogenetic Tree window opens, showing the tree.
 You can interactively change the appearance of the tree using the app. For information on using this app, see Phylogenetic Tree App Reference.

Cheque Bounce in UAE and Settlement Procedure
Articles (Gulf Inside) Cheque bounce in UAE is a criminal offense and cheque writer can face a court trial and jail term also can face a travel ban with a bench warrant, drawer of bounced check unable to leave UAE, and cannot enter if already left until settlements.
To know more about the settlement of the bounced Cheque case and how to the removal of the travel ban, you need to follow the below guide.
New Law Cheque Bounce:
According to the UAE Federal Law No-3 of 1987 promulgating the legal code, both criminal, also as civil proceedings, are often initiated against the perpetrator of bounced cheque writer.
What is Cheque Bounce?
A cheque bounce or bounced check may be a cheque presented by the payee and rejected by the drawer bank under below circumstances:
 1. Insufficient funds in the drawer account.
 2. Changed signature on a cheque or refusing it from being paid.
 3. The drawer's checking account was closed before the cheque is presented for payment.
1: The Police Complaint:
To file a complaint about a bounced cheque, the bearer of the cheque should formally open a case with the police station of the respective emirate against the drawer. For registering complaints on the bounced cheque in Dubai, you'll use the Dubai Police app.
After receiving the complaint, the police will contact the issuer of the cheque to notify him/her of the same and request his urgent presence. At the police headquarters, the drawer is allowed to settle the difficulty through paying the complete amount of the bounced cheque. If he/she paid, no further legal proceedings are going to be taken.
If the issuer of the bad cheque doesn't have money to pay, he/she has the proper to request a while to settle the difficulty. Upon such a request, the issuer could also be granted an inexpensive period secured by the deposit of his passport at the police headquarters. However, it highly depends on the cheque amount as in many cases such a guarantee of depositing the passport is rejected by cops if the quantity drawn on the cheque is more than 1 million dirhams or higher.
Point to be noted that cheque bounced may be a criminal offense within the UAE, upon filing the complaint at the police headquarters, a travel ban and bench warrant on the drawer will be issued automatically. Hence, the issuer of the cheque is going to be banned from leaving the country and arrested if he/she tries to flee, or should be detained on arrival in UAE from outside.
Such a travel ban in UAE is often removed only upon settlement of the cheque bounce case, or after serving a sentence.
2: The Public Prosecution:
In case the opponents failed to resolve the cheque bounce case at the police station, the police then transfer the complaint to the public prosecutor in the court.
Based on the evidence presented within the court, the choice might be a bail either by paying the worth of the bounced cheque or by depositing the passport of the defaulter or another guarantor. In case bail was denied, the public prosecutor may order the detention of the drawer until the court hears and decides on the case.
3: The Criminal Court:
The role of the court in UAE is to dive deeper into that bounce check case, opponents' arguments, and available evidence. The court then proceeds to look at whether the crime elements are satisfied or not. The crime elements are the fabric element and therefore the mental element.
Once both of the crime elements are satisfied, and by the authority vested in it within Article 401 of the UAE legal code, the court may decide the sanction of the perpetrator.
This can be confined to a fine assessed solely by the court, supported the conclusion reached and therefore the amount claimed and typically ranging between AED 1,000 and AED 30,000+. The court can also decide the sanction of the perpetrator to be serving a jail term of between 1 year and three years.
4: Civil Court Proceedings:
The criminal court and the civil court function separately but may solve both civil cases and criminal cases. Hence, the sentence issued by the court comes only as a sanction for the act of issuing a bounced cheques with insufficient funds in account or withdrawal all or part of the funds after giving the cheque.
The claimant may present his case to the civil court also to say his right to the disputed amount.
After reaching a conclusion supported the evidence and facts presented by the opponents, the civil court can then demand the issuer of the bounced cheque to pay a sum equal either to the worth of the cheque or its outstanding balance. In case the perpetrator fails again to pay the said amount, his assets could also be attached, and he could also be subjected to a different jail term for failing to comply with the civil court orders.

If there are not any pending cases against the bounced cheque writer, once the jail term is completed, he's allowed to gather his impounded passport and may also leave the country.
Writing a Cheque:
If the issuer of a cheque realized that he did a mistake by writing a cheque and there have been sufficient funds, it is often remedied at any stage of the legal proceedings by providing account statements of cheque submission date.
How to Remove Travel Ban:
Travel ban against Bounce cheque can only be removed through settlement or completing the jail term, the important point for the drawer is that he/she shall confirm to retrieve the bad cheque and obtain a clearance paper from his debtor or court upon payment of the disputed amount or completing the jail term.
Henceforth, no further legal proceedings will be initiated, and the UAE travel ban and an arrest warrant will be removed automatically.
Recent Developments in cheque bounce case:
To mitigate the non-payment of bounced cheques, the UAE government has recently introduced new regulations to punish such crimes with fines rather than jail terms. This initiative allows the issuer of the bounced cheque to urge employment opportunities or other such alternatives to be ready to repay his debt rather than getting to jail, subject to the orders of the public prosecutor.
Cheque Bounce Penalty:
As per the order, cases of cheque bounce the amount not exceeding AED 200,000 shall be punished with the following fines:
If the quantity is a smaller amount than AED 50,000 the cheque bounce penalty is going to be AED 2,000.
If the quantity is between AED 50,000 to 100,000 the fine is going to be AED 5,000.
If the amount written in the bounced cheque is from AED 100,000 to 200,000+, the cheque bounce penalty will be AED 10,000+.
Conclusion and extra care:
Cheque bounce in UAE can be associated with numerous reasons including illegal termination by the company, bankruptcy, absconding of the cheque writer, etc. In practice, when the bearer of the bounced cheque filed a complaint with the police, the most viable way to resolve the issue for both parties is to settle it at the police station amicably.
It is advisable that don't allow anyone to use your checkbook, as holders of checkbooks can get in trouble for a cheque bounce in UAE even without signing it. The practical experience shows that there are cases where an individual is often subject to legal liability towards a cheque bounce or bounced check case even it's not signed by him.

For what it's worth, I read neuroscience literature occasionally and have taken a graduate class in it, and I can't recall ever seeing neurologic, though neurological is used often. I can't think of an instance where the meaning changes. – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 5:52
Interesting. I work in Pharmacy & often see both. In newer materials, I feel as though I see neurologic much more frequently than neurological. – aelephant Aug 25 '12 at 5:54
After some more thought, I've probably seen neurologic disorder, though not as often as the other. Other places where neurological seems a bit wrong or clumsy, e.g., to modify pathways, neural or even neuronal come to mind as more apt and common (though the latter two have very slightly different meanings from each other). – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 6:00
It might be a usage bias of mine (which is perhaps affecting my memory). I highly prefer to say neurological myself. I have also noticed that I habitually use morhpological instead of morphologic. But I don't say semantical or syntactical, so who knows. Maybe there's no method to my madness. – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 6:05
I don't get some of our close-voters: not constructive??? WTF? – Marthaª Aug 25 '12 at 14:27

In my experience with the medical community and scientific literature, neurological is a far more common adjective than neurologic. However, as far as I can tell, both words are equally correct when used to refer to the study of, or anything pertaining to, the nervous system. But a quick example might help to illustrate the relative prevalence of the two.
A pubmed.org search for scientific papers with titles containing neurological yields about 20,000 responses; an identical search for neurologic yields 10,000. By that token, neurological is twice as common as neurologic.
The bottom line is: you can't go wrong with either.

Thanks for the research, it didn't occur to me to search for prevalence on pubmed. I think I have a personal preference for "neurologic" just because it is shorter. If the 2 words mean the same thing & "neurologic" saves space & keystrokes, why not use it? – aelephant Aug 25 '12 at 6:45
_USER_: I'm not sure that "saving two keystrokes" is a good reason to choose one over the other. It might be best to do some additional research first – like this – and see if those in the field follow conventions. I believe you can go wrong – if, at a conference for neurologists, you pick one that's seldom used, or opt to save two keystrokes in the title of a paper, thereby taking a credibility hit. – J.R. Aug 25 '12 at 8:22
Searches on google (for lone words or phrases) return even wider disparities. If are curious about speakers' preferences, it occured to me that their prosodic patterns might play a role. This seems to hold true for my own case. It also could explain why you might find preferences varying depending on the surrounding words (when this isn't explained by something else like a phrase becoming fixed). – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 8:23
Very cool J.R.! I didn't even know Google Ngram existed! I added "neurologic toxicity" & "neurological toxicity" to the search here & found that neurologic toxicity is more commonly used, so it appears to be context-specific. – aelephant Aug 25 '12 at 8:29
_USER_: A pubmed.org search for papers with neurological research in the abstract/title returned 142 papers, while those with neurologic research returned only 25. I won't argue that you're wrong, because I don't know enough about the subject, but I will point out that your bottom line seems like a hastily-drawn conclusion after so little research. – J.R. Aug 25 '12 at 8:41
As you point out, in the American Academy of Neurology Writing Styles And Standards Guide, available online at _URL_ there is the entry on page 11:
Neurologic vs. Neurological — The word neurologic is preferred to neurological when used as an adjective.
I don't think it gets any more authoritative in this field than that. It is a preference, a style decision.
For what it's worth, we use neurologic in our veterinary publications, too. We consider it a style decision. When we copyedit manuscripts, we change neurological to neurologic (unless the word is part of a cited reference title, of course.) Neither form is "wrong," it's just a preference, and we try to be consistent.
We also use, for example, endocrinologic instead of endocrinological and radiologic instead of radiological.
share|improve this answer
As I understand it, this is similar to the historic/historical situation.
Neurological is the adjective for the discipline of neurology - neurology-cal, and neurologic is the adjective for neural. The medical problems are neurologic diseases, possibly discovered by a neurological examination
Curiously, my unabridged Collins doesn't even list neurologic, but has neurological for both neural and neurology. Princeton Wordnet lists both, but with identical definitions.

I don't think you can make the distinction you make in your sentence with the links. You link to two different organizations' sites. They probably have chosen one over the other for their style. – JLG Aug 25 '12 at 14:19
That is true only if you assume that the distinction is purely one of style. You describe the style guide below as not getting 'any more authoritative in this field than that', but I see style guides as being inherently un-authoritative, partly because they are frequently contradicted by academic writing (which I see as more authoritative), and partly because they invariably contradict each other. As they can't all be right, what grounds do you have for saying any particular one is the ultimate authority? – Roaring Fish Aug 25 '12 at 14:29
I do think it is a matter of style. And I think if you want to be in line with the "big dog" in a field, then in the field of neurology, the AAN is it. Your use of links from two different sources doesn't prove your assertion that one term is for the discipline and one is for the disease (or whatever your distinction between the terms was meant to be). It just shows that two different organizations chose different styles. If you search the Boston Children's Hospital site (your link for neurological examination), you'll also find "neurological disease" used. – JLG Aug 25 '12 at 14:38
Interesting factoid: Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, 30th Edition, doesn't list neurological at all. It just has neurologic: pertaining to neurology or to the nervous system. – JLG Aug 25 '12 at 14:44
As I said earlier, Collins Unabridged has it the other way - they can't both be right. I agree that if you want to submit material you follow the style guide. The point I was making is that a style guide is not an academic authority that can be used as 'proof' of anything. – Roaring Fish Aug 25 '12 at 15:05


text: Using a structural dynamic programming model, we investigate the relative importance of family background variables and individual specific abilities in explaining cross-sectional differences in schooling attainments and wages. Given scholastic ability, household background variables (especially parents' education) account for 68% of the explained crosssectional variations in schooling attainments. When the effects of household background variables on ability are also taken into account, the percentage raises to 85%. However, individual differences in wages are mostly explained by abilities. Only 27% of the explained variation in wages is accounted for by parents? background variables as opposed to 73% by unobserved abilities (orthogonal to family background variables). When scholastic ability is correlated with family background variables, ability endowments explain as much as 81% of individual wages.

Platinum Rummy Nose Tetra
The Platinum colour variation have a much more intense silverish/blue shine to the scales compared to normal rummy nose. The normal rummy nose tetras have their usual whitish/silver body color, but are much less shiny than the platinum ones.
The rummy-nose tetra is a schooling fish, which exhibits tight schooling behaviour both in the wild and in the aquarium. Consequently, these fishes should be maintained in groups of no fewer than six individuals, with larger numbers being preferable where space permits-these tetras preferring about a 25 gallon/80 litre aquarium. All three species are lovers of warm aquarium water, the temperature range for maintenance being 24 °C to 31 °C, with the fishes sometimes requiring temperatures as high as 33 °C for breeding


Why do most landlords conduct regular building inspections in Melbourne?
The recent researches have proven that the number of landlords who carry out regular building inspection has greatly increased. However, there are still some landlords out there who think that inspecting their buildings is very expensive and they do not want to waste their money conducting the inspection. The truth is that it is essential as a landlord to conduct regular building inspections since at the end of the day; they are the people who will benefit from the inspection. Some of the people will wonder how the building inspections will benefit them, yet they will have to pay some money. However, if you get to talk to any landlord who has been conducting building inspections, they will tell you that they like it and that they are not wasting their money. In case there are landlords out there who want to find the goodness in building inspections, this article will discuss the reasons why they should also be among those conducting building inspections in Melbourne.
1. It ensures that you are aware of the conditions of your buildings.
Most of the landlords have so many buildings that they have rented to people, and because they do not live in those houses, it is very hard for them to know about the conditions of their buildings. For this reason, building inspections in Melbourne gives the landlords a chance to know the conditions of their houses even without living in them. The only thing that helps them know whether the ceiling, the floor, tiles, drainage systems and also lighting are in the right conditions are the building inspections. This is why most of the landlords will conduct the inspections regularly so that they can always have an understanding of their property.
2. To budget for repairs.
Repairs also require to be budgeted for like the other investments. For this reason, most landlords in Melbourne will conduct building inspections for them to know which sections of their buildings require repairs so that they can budget for the repairs. It also enables them to ensure that they have done the repairs as early as possible and to avoid at all costs repairing them when it is too late for them since it will require more money and time to complete the repairs.
3. Building inspections attract more buyers.
Have you been wondering why other landlords have more tenants than you? Then one of the reasons is that they conduct regular building inspections, but you do not. Another reason why most landlords in Melbourne will conduct building inspections is to ensure that they have attracted as many tenants as possible. The number of tenants wanting to stay in your building will increase since they will have faith in you that there are no pests in your building, no defects and if the building has errors, you will work on them and lastly that their families will be safe in your building. However, if you do not conduct the inspection, the tenant will not trust whatever you tell them about your building since they have never seen you conducting inspections.
4. To find out the value of the building.
There are other times that landlords wish to sell their buildings. Without knowing the value of your building, it will be very difficult for you to sell the building at the right cost. For this reason, some landlords conduct building inspections to ensure that they know the real value of the building.
5. To ensure that they have insured their building.
For you to insure your building, you must ensure that you have done building inspections. For this reason, the landlords who need insurance covers for their buildings must conduct building inspections and work on the issues found during the inspection for the insurance company to accept insuring them. Gallo Property Inspection offer building inspections in Melbourne. They are glad to assist building owners and landlords.

TECH TIP: Picatinny vs. Weaver Rail Specifications
Readers often ask "What's the difference between a Weaver scope rail and a Picatinny Rail?" The answer is not as simple as it seems. The dimensions of a Picatinny Rail should be consistent (from one rail-maker to another), since there IS a government spec. Conversely, there is some variance in "Weaver-style" rails. The width of the groove is the most important difference between Picatinny Rails and weaver rails. "Mil-spec" Picatinny rails will have a grove width of 0.206″ while Weaver rails typically have a narrower, 0.180″ groove width.
Brownell's has a helpful GunTech Article that discusses the Picatinny Rail vs. Weaver Rail. That article explains:
"What are the differences between the 'Picatinny' and the 'Weaver' systems? The profile of the two systems is virtually identical. Depending on the quality of the machining done by the manufacturer, the two systems should be indistinguishable from the profile. The key difference lies in the placement of the recoil grooves and with width of the grooves. MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) grooves are.206″ wide and have a center-to-center width of.394". The placement of these grooves has to be consistent in order for it to be a true 'Picatinny'MIL-STD system. Weaver systems have a.180" width of recoil groove and are not necessarily consistent in a center-to-center measurement from one groove to the next.
In many instances, a Weaver system has a specific application that it is machined for, so interchangeability is not necessarily an issue. A MIL-STD-1913 system must adhere to the specifications listed above in order for it to be considered MIL-STD, since the military desires uniformity in the recoil grooves to allow for different systems to be mounted on the weapon with no concern for compatibility.
Now, what does this mean to you? Boiled down, it means that accessories designed for a Weaver system will, in most cases, fit on a 'Picatinny' system. The reverse, however, is probably not the case. Due to the larger recoil groove, 'Picatinny' accessories will not fit a Weaver system. There are, of course, exceptions to every rule, but for a good rule-of-thumb, [full-width] 'Picatinny' won't fit Weaver, but Weaver will fit 'Picatinny'."

Word Origin and History for cinderous
Old English sinder "dross of iron, slag," from Proto-Germanic *sendra- "slag" (cf. Old Saxon sinder "slag, dross," Old Norse sindr, Middle Low German and Middle Dutch sinder, Dutch sintel, Old High German sintar, German Sinter), from PIE root *sendhro- "coagulating fluid" (cf. Old Church Slavonic sedra "cinder").
Initial s- changed to c- under influence of unrelated French cendre "ashes," from Latin cinerem (nominative cinis) "ashes," from or related to Greek konis "dust" (see incinerate). The French word also apparently shifted the sense of the English one to "small piece of burnt coal" (16c.). Volcanic cinder cone is recorded from 1849.
