Universities Support Holding HSC Exams in 2021
NSW Vice-Chancellors' Committee
The New South Wales Vice-Chancellors' Committee (the Committee) fully supports the decision of the NSW Education Standards Agency (NESA) to give more time to HSC students to work on their major projects and to prepare for exams to reduce the impact of the current COVID-19 lockdown.
The Convener for the Committee, Professor Barney Glover AO, said the universities "appreciate that the disruptions caused by the current COVID-19 lockdown have impacted on students' focus, therefore the need for certainty is paramount.
"As we said in 2020, our position is that proceeding with the HSC examinations in 2021 provides certainty to students, parents and teachers as well as universities.
The Convener emphasised that the universities understood the difficulties faced by students and explained that universities will respond with appropriate arrangements.
"As we did successfully in 2020 when the pandemic began for that year's cohort of students, we will continue to work flexibly with NESA and the Universities Admissions Centre to ensure that admission processes can adapt in an equitable way to any changes in Year 12 assessments," Professor Glover
Given that completion of the HSC is the preferred admission pathway into many universities, Professor Glover strongly encouraged students to remain committed to completing the HSC in 2021.
Professor Glover also reminded students that there are alternative pathways into university such as bridging and foundational courses to build up knowledge and skills lost during the pandemic.
"Universities look forward to welcoming this year's graduating secondary students into courses commencing in 2022," Professor Glover said.

If a rough surface is illuminated by a coherent lightwave of wavelength λ1, it is not possible to determine the surface profile from the phases of the speckle field formed by the scattered light. If the rough surface is illuminated, however, by an additional coherent wave of wavelength λ2, the phase differences between the two speckle fields do contain information about the macroscopic surface profile even if subject to a statistical error. It is shown that (1) the macroscopic surface profile may be determined from the phase differences if the effective wavelength Λ = λ1λ2/|λ1 - λ2| is sufficiently larger than the standard deviation of the microscopic profile of the illuminated surface, and (2) the statistical error is reasonably small if the phase measurements are obtained from speckles of sufficient intensity. Using a heterodyne interferometer we demonstrate the feasibility of this technique. In the first experiment we determine the radius of curvature of a rough spherical surface. In the second experiment the macroscopic surface contour on two ophthalmic lenses of the same power variation, one with a grounded surface and the other with a polished surface, was determined.

In this paper two studies are reported which compare (a) the perceptions of family functioning held by clinic and non-clinic adolescents, and (b) the perceptions of family functioning held by adolescents and their mothers in clinic and non-clinic families. In Study 1, matched group of clinic and non-clinic adolescents were compared on their responses to a 30-item scale (ICPS) designed to measure three factors of family functioning: Intimacy (high vs. low), Parenting Style (democratic vs. controlled) and Conflict (high vs. low). Clinic and non-clinic adolescents were also compared on their responses to a multi-dimensional measure of adolescent self-concept. Although there was little difference between the two groups of adolescents in terms of their perceptions of family functioning, there were strong relationships between the self-concept variables and the family functioning variables. In Study 2, comparisons were made between the perceptions of family functioning held by mothers and adolescents for both clinical and non-clinic families. There were no differences between the two groups of adolescents in terms of their perceptions of family functioning, although there were clear differences between the two groups of mothers. In addition, clinic adolescents and their mothers did not differ in their perceptions of the family, whereas adolescents in the non-clinic group saw their families significantly as less intimate and more conflicted than did their mothers.\ud \u

The effect of Mg on Ca movement between the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and myofilament space (MFS) was studied in skinned muscle fibers by using isometric force as an indicator of MFS Ca. In Ca-loaded fibers at 20 degrees C, the large force spike induced by Ca in 1 mM Mg (5 mM ATP) was strongly inhibited in 3 mM Mg, and force development was extremely slow. After a brief Ca stimulus in 1 mM Mg, relaxation in Ca-free solution was significantly faster in 3 mM Mg. These changes were due to altered Ca movements, since the effect of 3 mM Mg on steady force in CaEGTA solutions was small. Changes in Mg alone induced force transients apparently due to altered Ca movement. In relaxed fibers, decreasing the Mg to 0.25 mM caused phasic force development. In contracting fibers in Ca solutions, increasing the Mg caused a large transient relaxation. The effects of increased Mg were antagonized by 0.5 mM Cd, an inhibitor of the SR Ca transport system. The results indicate that active Ca uptake by the SR in situ is stimulated by Mg, and that it can affect local MFS [Ca++] in the presence of a substantial Ca source. These results provide evidence that an increased rate of Ca uptake in 3 mM Mg could account for inhibition of the large force spike associated with Ca-induced Ca release in skinned fibers.

How To
How do I call an.MSI from within another.MSI?
You can either call _URL_ containing.MSI within the USER Interface or within a finish dialog.
1.) Add an Execute Program from Destination action. You will call msiexec.exe and pass the command line. If you wanted to call the.MSI silently, then you can pass the following command line: /i /q
2.) You would use the Execute Program from Installation custom action to execute the.EXE containing the.MSI.
3.) The better option is to create your own.EXE wrapper and then call the.MSI's in the desired order using Wisescript.

Lazy Loading Data with ListBox
The ListBox is a great control for showing users lists of data, even data with lots and lots of rows. But the ListBox, being a UI control, is not meant to also be a container for hundreds of thousands of rows of data. It can take noticeable amount of time to to populate and you end up with your data being duplicated because it exists in both the ListBox and the original source (file, database or other data structure).
One way to avoid this problem is to not actually load all the data at once. This is often a great idea because the user can't actually see all the data at once anyway. So why not only load the data they can actually see?
One way to do this is to use a ScrollBar to track the data the user wants to see and then to only load that data into the ListBox.
To demonstrate this, start by creating a simple class as a container for data. The class structure is like this:
Class ListData
 Property Num As Integer
 Property Value As Double
 Property Desc As String
End Class
On Window1, add a property that is an array of this class:
Data() As ListData
Now on Window1, add two Buttons, a Vertical Scroll Bar and a ListBox. Align the ScrollBar so that it is to the right of the ListBox and the same height and change its Allow Live Scrolling property to True (ON). Change the ListBox to have 3 columns using the Column Count property in the Inspector. In the Open event of the Window add 1 million elements to the Data array:
 For i As Integer = 1 To _PHONE_
 Var d As New ListData
 d.Num = i
 d.Value = Rnd()
 d.Desc = "Testing"
In the Action event of the 1st Button, add this code to load the entire 1 million element array into the ListBox:
Listbox1.HasVerticalScrollbar = True
ScrollBar1.Visible = False
For i As Integer = 0 To Data.LastRowIndex
 Listbox1.AddRow(Data(i).Num.ToString, Data(i).Value.ToString, Data(i).Desc)
Pretty standard stuff. Now in the 2nd Button's Action event add this code, which populates the ListBox only with the first 50 rows:
Listbox1.HasVerticalScrollbar = False
ScrollBar1.Visible = True
ScrollBar1.MinimumValue = 0
ScrollBar1.MaximumValue = Data.LastRowIndex
ScrollBar1.Value = 0
For i As Integer = 0 To 50
Lastly add the ValueChanged event to the ScrollBar with this code, which fetches 50 rows after the value of the ScrollBar:
For i As Integer = Me.Value To Me.Value + 50
 If i <= Data.LastRowIndex Then
 End If
Now go ahead and run the project. Click the first button to see how long it takes to populate the ListBox. It took my computer about 11 seconds. You can scroll around at a reasonable speed, although it's a bit unwieldy with that many rows. Another thing to note is that this uses about 750MB of RAM.
Now click the second button that does the lazy loading. It will show the first bunch of rows instantly. Use the scrollbar to display other rows and you'll see they are also displayed instantly even thought they are not technically in the ListBox. This also uses only about 110MB of RAM.
Now this is just a quick example (download here) and doesn't handle every situation, but you can certainly expand on it as needed. If you'd rather not create this yourself, another option is to try 3rd party ListBox or DataView controls which have this built-in. You can find some on our 3rd Party Product page:

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the tissue retraction and gingival healing in pulsed laser (diode 980 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm lasers) gingival retraction in comparison with the conventional mechanical or surgical techniques (double cord and electrosurgery). Materials and Methods: A group of 103 adult patients, 45 women, 58 men (mean age 42, range 19 to 52 years) scheduled for fixed and implant prosthetic rehabilitation was recruited, and four impression techniques were compared: the double cord technique, the electrosurgery technique, the 980-nm diode and the 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser technique. Patient were randomly placed into four groups according to impression-taking technique. Thirty impressions were taken in each group, for a total of 110 elements each. The preferred impression materials were addition silicones (polyvinyl siloxanes) (2nd generation). The outcome was measured by the bleeding index (during the impression taking and after 15 days) and gingival retraction (after 15 and 30 days). Results: Compared to the conventional techniques, both laser techniques proved to be less aggressive in terms of absence of gingival bleeding (99.2% vs 92.7%). There were also fewer cases of gingival retraction than with the conventional technique (2.2% vs 10%). Conclusion: This study suggests that the laser technique can be valuable for implant prosthetic rehabilitation. While both the conventional and laser techniques are satisfactory in achieving gingival retraction, the laser techniques may be less traumatic to the periodontal tissue.

When investigating food authenticity and potential fraud, there are two main options. One approach is to focus on determining the chemical, physical, or sensory characteristics of the food samples themselves and check if they match the description provided; the other approach is to analyse the supply chain, and try to identify discrepancies in the recorded data. The work outlined in this report employs the latter approach to investigate wine exported from the Bordeaux region in France and imported to China. The mapping and analysis of the supply chain, and the indication of where fraud might happen was partly based on existing scientific literature, reports, and news stories, and partly on a number of interviews conducted with supply chain actors in France and in China.

Collaborative Knowledge Building (CKB) is a process involved in groups of participant to collect knowledge, communicate knowledge, share knowledge, and create knowledge together. While Web2.0 is characterized by being user-centered, two-ways communication and creating knowledge together in social network formation, thus Web2.0 concepts seems to be an ideal fit with CKB. However, how to integrate the undoubted significant factors into the CKB process is a question in Web2.0 era. According to analyzing the outline of CKB and characters of Web2.0, this paper integrates Web2.0 into CKB, and presents a new CKB model. Finally, the paper takes application example of Personal Knowledge Building platform and Collaborative Knowledge Building platform to show Web2.0 is beneficial to realize a more feasible CKB model, which is illustrated how to use Web2.0 tools in the CKB process.

Police vs Private Investigations: What is the Difference?
Police and private investigation services may seem similar on the surface, but there are several key differences which influence the two roles and impact their scope of delivery.
The first, most identifiable difference, is legal authority. Police officials have the legal authority to detain witnesses and compel testimony, whereas private investigators are not law enforcement professionals. Therefore, private investigators are forced to get creative in their meticulous investigative techniques in order to gather information that can offer their clients sufficient evidence to support or disprove their claims.
Scope of Services
Generally speaking, police investigation services are limited to offences that are identified as crimes in South Africa. This means that private investigators are able to work on a broader scope of services, such as:
- Domestic/matrimonial investigations
- Investigations into individual activity
- Evidence gathering for adultery/infidelity suits
- Substance abuse suspicions
The South African Police Department is limited to an annual, tax-funded budget. This unfortunately means that some cases are not given the required resources needed to solve the case. The amount of cases also plays a big role, as there is often not enough time to be dedicated to individual cases. Private investigators, however, are paid by their clients. This gives them the opportunity to dedicate much-required resources and time in order to handle and solve each and every investigation.
Look no further than D&K Investigations and Risk Consultancy for all your private investigative needs. We provide a specialised range of investigation solutions to help you get the results you need, with zero limitations.

Why Do Doctors Press on Your Stomach During a Checkup?
I was wondering, why do doctors push on your stomach during a checkup or if
you complain of abdominal pain?
Pressing on your stomach is a way to find out if the size of your internal organs is normal, to check if anything hurts, and to feel if anything unusual is going on.
Looking, listening, and feeling are all part of a physical exam. Doctors use all three to check that everything's normal or to evaluate a health condition. For example, doctors use sight to diagnose conditions like acne or pinkeye. They'll listen to a person's heartbeat to be sure it sounds normal. And they'll use touch to investigate areas that aren't visible to the naked eye, like bones or internal organs.
During a checkup, don't hesitate to ask your doctor questions if you're curious about why something's being done. Your doc is there to help, and answering questions is part of that!

I am planning to create a maze game. I have no idea how can I create the maze. The first thing I do is to make a 1 png file for the maze. I would like to ask if it is possible to create just 1 image for the maze or do I need to create the maze by arranging its block one by one? enter image description here
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
Consider using some kind of text format for building the maze. The most convenient way of declaring mazes would be to use lua itself, i.e. by building an array. The next step would be to generate the map to show it to user. I thing it would by a much simpler approach then to work with PNG images.
Your maze example can by divided into rooms with 4 walls/exits facing 4 directions. Have you considered building a two dimensional array of 16 values representing all combination of walls (different rooms)?

Pointing in Brick Walls
Loosely speaking, 'pointing' is the mortar between bricks. A more accurate definition is that it is the visible edge of the mortar-joint. The mortar is normally a mix of lime and sand, or from the 1920s cement and sand. A colouring is sometimes added. Black mortar uses crushed ash rather than sand.
In Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian houses, the pointing between bricks and stone had a major effect on the appearance of the buildings. The emphasis was always supposed to be on the brickwork, rather than the pointing. The ideal was no visible mortar. This could be achieved by:
 - using high quality engineering bricks
 - 'rubbed' brickwork, where the bricks were rubbed together until they fitted closely together, leaving a joint of 2-3mm
 - 'tuck' pointing, where a line of white, putty mortar was 'tucked' into a slot cut in stained mortar
 - stained mortar to hide the pointing
Most houses used, at best, the last of these, with flush or slightly recessed pointing. Styles of pointing included flush, tuck, bucket handle and recessed pointing. Weatherstruck pointing was never used.
types of pointing
The two pictures below show an example of tuck pointing. You can see how the bricks are pointed with a stained mortar and then a line of putty mortar set in. The white putty is a mix of silver sand and lime. Tuck pointing was used to disguise poor quality, chipped and irregular bricks.
 - 1907, Bromley, Kent; tuck pointing
 - tuck pointing
These are examples of other mortar and brick combinations:
 - black putty
 black putty in white bricks and mortar
 - white putty
 white putty in white bricks and mortar
In some places, the putty line is laid over the surface of the bricks:
tuck pointing
Lines are put on the surface to align the verticals from the footings to the top of the building; the putty was added from the top downwards but if the brick courses are not aligned, the tuck-pointing needs to match.
an example of new tuck pointing
The stopping was 'wiped' over the bedding mortar while it was still 'green'.

In response to the ethical code for higher education proposed by Education Minister Naftali Bennett, the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) stated today that this step is a "negative example" of how to write an ethical code. According to IDI, the code was written by an individual rather than through discourse with professors at Israel's various institutions of higher learning. It also undermines the autonomy of these institutions in violation of the Law of the Council for Higher Education.
"The ethical code that is being proposed unreasonably expands the definition of what is political. The definition does not differentiate between political and the public, between political and ethical, and between systematic preaching and free discourse. Political activity, according to the proposed ethical code, includes all direct support or opposition to 'a particular point of view in a recognized public dispute'. Thus, the proposed code refers to many questions of economics, ethics, law, and political morality as political and calls for their removal from academic discourse.
Finally, IDI's statement adds that the code undermines the gist of the academic mission and spirit, which lies in the academic drive to raise innovative ideas and challenge conventional wisdom.
"Such an ethical code tramples freedom of expression with a heavy foot. It would cause professors to self-censor and create an opening for pursuing and harassing professors," IDI's leaders say.

Rancang Bangun Sistem Informasi Bank Sampah di Desa Paguyangan
Garbage is the residual material resulting from a production process, both industry and households. Based on Brebes district's statistical data, the Paguyangan sub-district is in fourth place with an average of 249.62 m3 of garbage per day. Paguyangan is one of the villages in the Paguyangan sub-district. Paguyangan has a garbage problem where people still have the habit of throwing garbage in the river and yards around the house. Based on this, the Paguyangan Village Hall plans to build a garbage bank to overcome the problem. A garbage bank managed activities such as recording savings transactions. This study conducted a web-based design of the Garbage Bank Information System (SIBS). SIBS is an information system used to help process garbage transactions at a garbage bank. The purpose of this SIBS is to facilitate officers and customers in processing services at the garbage bank. The methodology used in system development is the Waterfall method. SIBS development uses PHP as a programming language and MySql as the DBMS. The result of this research is a garbage bank information system. SIBS can be used in the management of garbage management transactions. Testing the system using Blackbox Testing and MOS. SIBS is easy to operate from the test results obtained.


Refreshing registration keys on the coordination points for server-based fencing
Replacing keys on a coordination point (CP server) when the Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) cluster is online involves refreshing that coordination point's registrations. You can perform a planned refresh of registrations on a CP server without incurring application downtime on the VCS cluster. You must refresh registrations on a CP server if the CP server agent issues an alert on the loss of such registrations on the CP server database.
The following procedure describes how to refresh the coordination point registrations.
To refresh the registration keys on the coordination points for server-based fencing
 1. Ensure that the VCS cluster nodes and users have been added to the new CP server(s). Run the following commands:
 # cpsadm -s cp_server -a list_nodes
 # cpsadm -s cp_server -a list_users
 If the VCS cluster nodes are not present here, prepare the new CP server(s) for use by the VCS cluster.
 See the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide for instructions.
 2. Ensure that fencing is running on the cluster in customized mode using the coordination points mentioned in the /etc/vxfenmode file.
 If the /etc/vxfenmode.test file exists, ensure that the information in it and the /etc/vxfenmode file are the same. Otherwise, vxfenswap utility uses information listed in /etc/vxfenmode.test file.
 For example, enter the following command:
 # vxfenadm -d
 Fencing Protocol Version: 201
 Fencing Mode: CUSTOMIZED
 Cluster Members:
 * 0 (galaxy)
 1 (nebula)
 RFSM State Information:
 node 0 in state 8 (running)
 node 1 in state 8 (running)
 3. List the coordination points currently used by I/O fencing :
 # vxfenconfig -l
 4. Copy the /etc/vxfenmode file to the /etc/vxfenmode.test file.
 This ensures that the configuration details of both the files are the same.
 5. Run the vxfenswap utility from one of the nodes of the cluster.
 The vxfenswap utility requires a secure ssh connection to all the cluster nodes. Use -n to use rsh instead of default ssh.
 For example:
 # vxfenswap [-n]
 The command returns:
 VERITAS vxfenswap version
 The logfile generated for vxfenswap is
 Please Wait...
 VXFEN vxfenconfig NOTICE Driver will use customized fencing
 - mechanism cps
 Validation of coordination points change has succeeded on
 all nodes.
 You may commit the changes now.
 WARNING: This may cause the whole cluster to panic
 if a node leaves membership before the change is complete.
 6. You are then prompted to commit the change. Enter y for yes.
 The command returns a confirmation of successful coordination point replacement.
 7. Confirm the successful execution of the vxfenswap utility. If CP agent is configured, it should report ONLINE as it succeeds to find the registrations on coordination points. The registrations on the CP server and coordinator disks can be viewed using the cpsadm and vxfenadm utilities respectively.
 Note that a running online coordination point refreshment operation can be canceled at any time using the command:
 # vxfenswap -a cancel

The composition, structure and magnetic property of the product were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Powder XRD, FTIR and EDAX results confirmed that the as-synthesized products has Fe3O4 with spinel structure and Cu nanoparticles with moderate crystallinity without any other impurities. The surface of the Fe3O4@His nanocomposite was covered by tiny Cu nanoparticles. We examine the catalytic activity of Fe3O4@His@Cu MRCs for the degradation of two azo dyes, methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) as well as their mixture. The reusability of the nanocatalyst was good and sustained even after 3 cycles. Therefore this innovated Fe3O4@His@Cu MRCs has a potential to be used for purification of waste water.

Indicators of Progress
Our progress toward a just and sustainable community creates shifts or changes in four areas:
- Shifts in Collective Identity and Action: Social change has begun when groups are able to impact the political and economic decisions that affect their lives. Collective identity and action demonstrates a community's voice and power. Headwaters looks to organizations to engage community members and deepen and strengthen their involvement in community affairs.
- Shift in Engagement and Sustained Interaction: Lasting change requires having the power and the unified organized force to shift political and social agendas. To demonstrate these shifts Headwaters supports collaborative and collective efforts that unite and expand social agendas.
- Shifts in Institutions and Policy: Progress toward social change can be observed in changes in rules, laws and practices. To bring about social change Headwaters supports efforts to change, reform and transform existing policies and institutions.
- Shift in definitions or framing of issue: Transformative change comes about when our society understands and acts within a new paradigm or worldview. To bring this about, Headwaters supports organizations that are shifting cultural beliefs, norms, traditions and practices that shape political meaning.

Background: Virtual reality is an alternative therapeutic resource to be inserted into cardiovascular rehabilitation, stimulating the practice of physical activity through man-machine interaction.
Objective: To compare the effects of conventional and virtual reality cardiac rehabilitation on body composition and functional capacity in patients with heart disease.
Methods: Randomized clinical trial with 27 cardiac patients divided into conventional rehabilitation group (CRG) and virtual reality rehabilitation group (VRG). They underwent a rehabilitation program with 60-minute training sessions twice a week for eight weeks. The VRG training consisted of exercises from the Xbox 360® with Kinect™, using YourShape™ and Dance Central 3™ games. The CRG used conventional treadmills for aerobic exercise and free weights for resistance exercise. Bioimpedance and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) were evaluated at baseline and after training. For main outcome analysis, Student t and Mann Whitney tests were used with a 5% significance level.
Results: The VRG showed a significant increase in body fat percentage and fat weight when compared to the CRG, and a smaller amount of total water. There was a significant improvement in functional capacity evidenced by the increase in the distance covered in the 6MWT (54.00 m and 32.25 m in the CRG and VRG, respectively), but the gains did not differ between the groups.
Conclusion: The two rehabilitation modalities had no effect on the body composition of the groups. In addition, the improvement in functional capacity was similar in both groups. (Int J Cardiovasc Sci. 2018;31(6)619-629)

This is true for the given query, but not in general.
Assume you have in an InnoDB table and an index on (b,c) and 'a' is
the primary key. In this case:
select c from foo where a=1 and b = 1
I't better to scan the index (b,c) than scan the primary key as you
get all key parts from this index, but it's much less to scan as you
don't have to access all the other columns from the table.

How can you have something clustered on to different key?
(Normally you can only cluster on one key at a time)

Benefits Of Ranging Sensors
Perimeter intrusion detection sensors are highly effective solutions for securing a site. When buried, they provide a covert sensor that is virtually impossible for an intruder to bypass without being detected. When fence-mounted, they turn the existing fence into a smart fence, detecting any attempt to cut, climb, or break through its fabric. Detection at the perimeter enables the security system to respond while the intruder is still outside the protected area by calling up cameras and engaging deterrence devices like security lights and sirens.
Based on the granularity of alarm information presented to the security system, fence-mounted sensors can be divided into two categories: block and ranging.
This article looks at the differences between block and ranging perimeter intrusion detection sensors, and examines the key benefits of ranging sensors, including reduced nuisance alarms, software-based zones, and simplified troubleshooting.

Dividing driver
Dividing Driver
The first GGG-built tool completed for GaoGaiGar's use - developed from schematics that were used in Genesic GaoGaiGar's Bolting Driver. Utilizes the power of GaoGaiGar's "holy" (Protect) left arm to energize and discharge the tool's "Dividing Core," which emits a shockwave based on "Dividing Energy" that bends material space (land, air, water, electromagnetic barriers, but not an airless environment) to create a circular "Dividing Field" of 10 kilometers in diameter from the leading edge of its target impact. (The "Dividing Field" itself is actually a paired reaction, formed of an "Arresting Field" and a "Repression Field" that expand simultaneously.) This area of bent space (kuukan) allows GaoGaiGar to fight his opponents within it without risk of collateral damage to the surrounding area.
The Dividing Field collapses after thirty minutes, restoring the area to normal; if an object of consequential size is left within the field after that time, the act of the field collapse will crush it, causing a gigantic explosion.
The Dividing Driver is easily the most oftenand creatively-used of the tools at GaoGaiGar's disposal: it has also been used to open a Zonder from inside (Episode 8); create an ocean depth-resistant "bubble" (Episode 10); open a hole in a cave ceiling (Episode 11); increase the distance between GaoGaiGar and a massive cannon shell (Episode 16); and break out of a Dividing Field-based "Klein Space" in conjunction with the Gatling Driver (Episode 46).
The Dividing Driver resembles a flat-bladed chisel mounted to a cylindrical gauntlet, creating an oversized flat-head screwdriver. It is usually launched from the Mirror Catapult on board the Triple-Decked Flying Carrier (and later Division I: Izanagi); GaoGaiGar intercepts the flight path of the tool and connects with it in midair.
As the Dividing Core within the Dividing Driver is built to be fully discharged with each use, it can only hold one use's worth of energy at a time.
In King of Braves GaoGaiGar FINAL, a modular version of the Dividing Driver and Gatling Driver is built for GaoFighGar's use, separating the "bit" and the Dividing Core. The Dividing Driver configuration is referred to as "Kit number 03" (Kitto numbaa zero-san) and is launched from Division VII: Tsukuyomi.

5 essential things you should know before you go to Tibet
featured image
Even though there are many things you should know before you going to Tibet, here are 5 essential things you should know before you go to Tibet since Tibet is absolutely unique and different in its culture, religion, customs and the landscape so on,. Tibet is one of the five national autonomous regions of the People's Republic of China. It is located in the southwest of China and the southwest of Qinghai Tibet Plateau. The land area of the whole region is more than 1.22 million square kilometers, accounting for 12.8% of the total area of the country. The oldest Bon religion in Tibet and the Tibetan Buddhism, which dominate the politics, economy and culture of Tibetan society, permeate all aspects of social life, thus forming the folk customs and aesthetic tastes different from other nationalities. Tibet's folk culture is rich in content and rich in cultural relics.
Tibet not only has a unique high plateau with countless snow-capped mountains' scenery, but also has a charming green natural landscape, beautiful lakes and vast grassland, inhabited by thousands of Tibetan nomads. Up to now, there are many Tibetan people whose living customs are far away from the modern people outside the plateau. Just because of the distance, everything in Tibet has an ornamental value.
 1. How to get to Tibet?
One of the 5 essential things you should know before you go to Tibet is how to get to Tibet. There are three ways to travel to Tibet, you can choose by plane, train or by land. You can fly to Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet from almost all the cities in mainland China and internationally, from Kathmandu to Lhasa. You can also take train to Tibet from most parts of the cities in mainland China but the best way to get to Tibet by train is from Xining which is located in the northwest of China and the capital city of Qinghai Tibetan plateau. The train from Xining to Lhasa takes 21 hours and it is the best part of the high plateau train trip landscape. You can come to Tibet by land by taking Sichuan Tibet highway overland tour, Qinghai Tibet highland overland tour and Yunnan Tibet highway overland tour. Internationally, there are two ways to go to Tibet by land, one is from Kathmandu to Kyirong border and another is from Kashgar to Kailash.
 - When is the best time to trip to Tibet?
The best time to go to Tibet is from April till end of October because during this period of time, the weather warms up, all the scenery turns into green and little bit of rain to fresh up and gives more oxygen for the sunny and dried weather in Tibet. The best time for trekking in Tibet is from May to June and September to end of October but for a short trekking around Mount Kailash is available from May till end of October.
 - When is the cheapest and less touristic time when you go to Tibet?
One of the 5 essential things to know before you go to Tibet is to know when the cheapest and less touristic time when you go to Tibet. The cheapest and less touristic time when you go to Tibet is in the winter time and nowadays, we highly recommend Tibet winter tour because the tourism supply and nationwide facility has been improved a lot and in many major cities including Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet, Tsetang, cradle of Tibet located to the south of Lhasa city, Shigatse, fertile land and western cultural center of Tibet located to the west of Lhasa, Nyingtri, the eastern forest region of Tibet located to the east of Lhasa city, we can provide very good hotels with 24 hours hot water, rooms are heated for 24 hours as well.
There are also plenty of restaurants and most of the scenic spots are opened like summer. The price of the flights are 50% cheaper, it is very easy to get train tickets, most of the scenic spots and vehicle transportation is 30% cheaper and human resource including Tibet travel guide is around 20% cheaper. During winter in Tibet, the sun shines so brightly and during the day time, as long as there is sunshine, you never feel very cold. In every scenic spots, you will see thousands of Tibetan pilgrims coming from different regions of Tibet including Amdo, the far north eastern part of Tibet and Kham, the far south eastern part of Tibet. There are thousands of Tibetans, doing prostration in front of Jokang temple to do their daily Buddhist practices. There are also quite many religious and other Tibetan traditional festivals are going on during winter time in Tibet so traveling to Tibet in winter makes your Tibet trip more cheaper and gives more authentic experience of Tibet travel.
 - What are the things to see during your Tibet travel?
One of the 5 essential things to know before you go to Tibet is there are many beautiful natural scenic sights and famous monasteries and temples in Tibet. During your travel in Tibet, you can't miss visiting the Potala Palace and Jokhang temple in Lhasa. The Potala Palace is located in the center of Lhasa city. The Potala Palace was built in 7th century by the 33rd King of Tibet called Songtsan Gampo during Tubo Dynasty. The king married two princes Princess, princess Bhrikuti Devi from Nepal and Princess Wencheng of the Tang court. Both princess brought the most sacred statues of Buddha Shakyamuni as their dowry. The Potala Palace was destroyed badly by fire in around 9th century and in around 17th century, the 5th Dalai Lama rebuilt the Potala Palace into the present size and since then the Potala Palace has become the winter palace of the Dalai Lama and now it has been listed as the UNESCO world heritage site.
Jokhang Temple also known as "zulakang" (In Tibetan, means Buddha Hall), located in the center of the old urban area of Lhasa, is a Tibetan Buddhist temple built by Tibetang King Songtsan Gampo, with a history of more than 1300 years, and has the supreme status in Tibetan Buddhism. Jokang temple is the most brilliant building in Tibet, and also the earliest Tibetan traditional building in Tibet.
There are many important and interesting monasteries and temples to visit in Tibet including Drepung and Sera monasteries, Ramoche temple, Ganden monastery inside Lhasa, Samye monastery, Palchoe monastery, Tashi Lhunpo monastery, Traduk temple and Yumbu Lhakang so on. During your Tibet trip, you should not miss visiting the most important scenic sights including the Mt Everest, Mt Kailash, several most famous sacred lakes of Tibet including Namtso lake, Yamdrok lake, Mansarovar lake, Dhangra Yumtso lake, Tso Ngonpo lake ( Kokonor ) etc.
 - What are the etiquette and Taboos in Tibet that you should know before going to Tibet?
One of the 5 essential things to know before you go to Tibet is etiquette and Taboos. Tibet is divided into different regions but the most important place that you should not miss visiting when you are going to Tibet is Lhasa so today we are going to give some information about etiquette and Taboos of the Tibetans in Lhasa.
Lhasa has a pleasant climate and has long been the political, religious, economic and cultural center of Tibet. There are so many interesting scenic spots and cultural sights to visit in Lhasa. The area is known for its strict dress code. Lhasa women use wool to make short sleeved summer clothes.
Lhasa women wear the most beautiful Tibetan gowns made of the best used wool and the women who are married wear a waistlines or known as apron made of various colors of wool or silk. Whenever there is a traditional festival or during Tibetan new year, all the Lhasa women, including young generations will have to wear this beautiful Tibetan traditional gown and Tibetan traditional hat made of the best woolen cloth and a little bit murmured hair. In Tibet, to dress in a beautiful traditional way is to give a respect to the older ones, leaders or your friends. Especially when they have special celebration. Tibetans believe that people who come to your home with beautiful clothes can bring you good luck.
The people in Lhasa are very polite and when you are talking to older people, teachers, leaders, monks or nuns, you always speak softly and use the respectful words in Tibetan. The younger generations always touch their right hand on their head and as if they are scratching on their head when they are talking to older people, teachers, leaders so on, It is also another way of paying respect. People in Lhasa raise their hands and bow their head when they meet some friends or people they know in the market or street, that is to greet the people. Tibetans take off the hat during their visit to the monasteries or temples which is also respect to Buddha. Tibetans don't have any entertainment or parties if someone dies in their family for 49 days. They also don't sing or dance during those 49 days. Tibetans offer white scarf to Buddha or statues of Bodhisattva during their visit inside the monastery which is a respect to Buddha and symbol of displaying their white and pure heart to Buddha in order to clear their sin.
When people have parties, Tibetans always touch the glass with each other before you drink. They

Museum of the Cape Fear
The Museum of the Cape Fear in Fayetteville is the third regional branch of the North Carolina Museum of History and the only one that began as a branch museum. (The other two regional branches, the Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City and the Gateway Museum in Old Fort, operated independently before coming under the Museum of History's umbrella.) The free-admission Museum of the Cape Fear opened in 1987 with funding assistance from the Historic Fayetteville Foundation and with Rodney Barfield as its first curator. It introduces visitors to the history and culture of southeastern North Carolina through exhibits, lectures, and workshops and, as part of its mission as a regional branch, offers expertise to the nonstate historical museums, sites, and agencies in its 20-county service area.
The museum features permanent exhibits on the history of the Piedmont and the lower North Carolina coast from early Native American settlements through the Civil War period. Exhibits on transportation in the region, Fayetteville history (including the devastating 1831 fire), and an 1890 potter's shop are of particular interest. Visitors and school groups are drawn to the temporary exhibit gallery, where changing exhibits have highlighted, among other subjects, African American women in the Cape Fear, traditional crafts of the region, and the region's archaeology. A meeting room provides space for programs, lectures, and films.

The Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube, along with its Weighted Companion Cube variant, is the most common and basic testing element in Portal and Portal 2. It is used throughout the testing courses of the Aperture Science Enrichment Center.
- The Weighted Storage Cube is a device used for solving cube-and-button based puzzles in the various Test Chambers found throughout the Enrichment Center.
- In Portal and the Single Player campaign of Portal 2, Weighted Storage Cubes are to be placed on a Super Button to allow Test Subjects to advance.
- In the cooperative campaign of Portal 2, the Weighted Storage Cubes are to be placed on Cube Buttons.
- Weighted Storage Cubes appear either via an Aperture Science Vital Apparatus Vent or are already in a test chamber.
- It can be picked up by using the "use" key and can also be taken through portals.
- The Weighted Storage Cube can also be used as a makeshift weapon against an Aperture Science Sentry Turret by dropping it on the Sentry Gun from a Portal, or as a makeshift shield to block turret fire and energy pellets.
- Like most objects, the Weighted Storage Cube will disintegrate upon touching an Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill.
- In Portal 2, the cubes have a circular blue light on each side, and when left on a button it changes to a yellow light. They are also notably smaller in size than in Portal.
- The Weighted Companion Cube in Portal 2 bears a resemblance to the standard Cubes, their only difference is that they have a heart on each face of the Cube and emit a pink light.
- A special type of Storage Cube, the Weighted Companion Cube appears in both Portal and Portal 2. It is identical to the regular Weighted Storage Cube in both games, except that it has a heart where the Aperture Science logo would be. At the end of the Test Chamber 17 in Portal, the player is forced to throw it into an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator. Narrative provided by GLaDOS and Doug Rattmann suggests that the Companion Cube is designed to test emotional stress by having subjects develop affection for it before being forced to destroy it.
- In Portal 2's second chapter Test Chamber 07, GLaDOS reveals that there are warehouses full of Weighted Companion Cubes shortly after disintegrating two of them. She also contradicts her statements from the first game, openly stating that they are sentient. As the Material Emancipation Grill for that chamber is not functioning, Chell can remove the companion cube from that chamber (earning the player the "Preservation of Mass" achievement/trophy), only to have GLaDOS destroy it herself shortly before reaching the elevator.
- It is unknown whether the Companion Cube can communicate openly in any way. Although generally the Cube actually talking seems to be a sign of madness, if the "Preservation of Mass" achievement is earned, GLaDOS claims the Cube was about to say "I love you," and in Portal 2, the Cube produces a chime, which foreshadows the Turret Opera.
- Twentieth century prototypes of the Storage Cubes were seen in the old condemned parts of the Aperture Science Innovators test chambers, where they also served a similar purpose for weighing down buttons. These cubes can react to the Mobility Gels, as well. It is unknown if the early cubes were simple crates with nothing inside, or if they were actually weighed down to help push down and hold in place the early Aperture Science Super Buttons. These cubes also appear to be made of wood, held together by staples. No analogue of the Companion Cubes appear.

Behind the scenes
- The Weighted Companion Cube was invented because playtesters often failed to realize that the puzzle required you to take the cube with you, so they made it unique and more noticeable, and had GLaDOS put a great deal of emphasis on it in her voiceover.
- A Weighted Companion Cube plush and fuzzies are available to purchase online at Valve online.
- A Companion Cube prop can be unlocked for Xbox Live avatars by completing the Portal 2 Single Player campaign.
- The teaser trailer version of GLaDOS' Incinerator Room features the burned Companion Cube.
- The Companion Cubes seem to replace Storage Cubes in the Aperture Investment videos.
- The Companion Cube from Portal is implied to have never been completely incinerated during the ending sequence of Portal 2. This is noted by the amount of burns marks it has sustained, also implied from statistics of the Portal Gun which can endure temperatures of up to 4000 kelvin, that subsequent Aperture products are also able to. In addition, the Companion Cube in Portal 2 sports a new design, but the cube in the ending sequence is the Portal design.
- In Portal 2, when held, the Companion Cube causes the game to play a type of tune or chime specific to it, much like how certain music plays during the activation or use of certain testing elements of functioning Aperture Science technology (eg. Aerial Faith Plate). The tune is a loop that foreshadows the upcoming Turret Opera at the end of the campaign.
- In the Xbox 360 game Fable III, a crate with a heart painted on each of its sides can be found in one of the game's dungeons, being worshipped by a creature called a Hobbe. On the table next to the cell in which the Hobbe is being kept, there is also a Cake.
- In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 there is an unlockable title called "Companion Crate" on hearts background, most likely referring to Portal and Portal 2

Defend or Rescue are map objectives used throughout the Fire Emblem series
Overview[edit | edit source]
Defend and Rescue are similar in nature as both require the player to complete a map by preventing an enemy unit from reaching a certain tile.
In Defend maps, players must prevent the enemy from reaching a specific tile on the map, usually one that is positioned behind the player's starting position or at a far side Village. If an enemy unit ends their turn on that tile or next to the village, a Game Over immediately triggers. To clear the map, players must either Survive a certain number of turns before the enemy is force to retreat or must rout all enemies that appear.
Rescue requires that the player kill specific units on a map before they reach a certain tile which is usually a distance away from both the enemy and allies. Maps that feature this objective usually revolve around an character being kidnapped. If the objective is solely Rescue, only the highlighted unit must be defeated. Occasionally, this is paired with Rout the Enemy as well.


Volvo Redblock Engine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Volvo B21 engine)
Jump to: navigation, search
B234F Red Block in a 740 GLE
The Volvo B21 was a slant straight-4 engine first used in the Volvo 200 series, meant to replace the B20. The B21 and all derived engines are often referred to as red block engines for the red paint applied to the block. The primary differences when compared to the B20 was the switch to a SOHC in place of the older pushrod configuration, and an aluminum crossflow cylinder head versus the iron head of the B20.
Initially the overhead camshaft versions were offered as optional equipment on the 240, becoming standard in all markets by the 1976 model year. The overhead camshaft motors were available in displacements of 2.0 (B19 and B200), 2.1 (B21), and eventually 2.3 (B23 and B230) litres. The B21 featured an 80 mm (3.1 in) stroke, and 92 mm (3.6 in) bore. In the US, the B21's power output ranged anywhere between 98 hp (73 kW) and 107 hp (73 to 80 kW), based on variations in the compression ratio and was typically supplied with a B or M camshaft.
The engines are tilted approx 15 degrees to left (exhaust side) to make room for the more complicated injection systems. B19 and B21 blocks can be identified by water plugs on one side of the block. The B23 blocks have them on both sides. The camshaft is driven by a toothed belt that is driven off the front of the crankshaft. The belt turns the intermediate shaft as well, which in turn drives the oil pump, distributor (on 240 engines and BXX 700/900 series engines) and the fuel pump of carburetor models.
In 1981 the B21FT, a B21F with a turbo, was introduced with a compression ratio of 7.5:1 mated with a Garrett T3 turbocharger and a T camshaft. Additional turbo variants, not offered in the US market, were the B19ET and the B21ET, based on the B19E and B21E respectively. The turbocharger increased power output to 127 hp (91 kW) for the B21FT, and 157 hp (115 kW) for the B21ET. Also new for the 1981 model year was the B23, with a displacement of 2.3 litres (80 mm stroke and 96 mm (3.8 in) bore). Aside from the increased bore size, the engine is identical to the B21. Volvo used a slightly different mold for the turbo engines to cast a boss for the turbo oil return line. Because a turbocharged engine has a higher operating temperature they used sodium filled exhaust valves and a thermostat controlled oil cooler (air/oil model).
In 1983 the B23 was introduced to the American market. Also introduced in 1983, the "intercooler boost system" (IBS) was introduced for the B21FT motors. The IBS kit consisted of an intercooler, appropriate ducting, a new fan shroud, new oil cooler lines and mounting brackets, and optionally an automatic transmission kit. IBS raised the output of the B21FT to 162 hp (121 kW), slightly more than the non intercooled European market B21ET's 157 hp (117 kW).
Midway through the 1984 model year, the "intercooler boost system" became standard on American 240 Turbos. Additionally a bigger clutch and a stepped flywheel were included.
The B200 amongst others powered the Volvo 360.
In 1985 a revised, "low friction" design was introduced, dubbed the B200 and B230 (depending on displacement). Several components had design changes, longer rods (152 mm c-c, 7 mm (0.3 in) longer), pistons with a lower compression height, lower friction bearings (smaller in size), a crankshaft with 8 counterweights (instead of 4 on the older Bxx engines) and a heavy harmonic balancer in the crank pulley. 1989 saw an upgrade to the crankshaft, with a relocated axial thrust bearing back to the number 5 journal, bigger main bearings, rods were enlarged to 13 mm (0.5 in) from 9 mm (0.4 in) in 1990. Also introduced in 1989 were 16 valve, twin-cam variants of the B200 and B230, dubbed the B204 and B234 respectively. The B204 was also available in turbo form in some markets (such as Italy) where large displacement motors were taxed heavily. It came in two versions: The B204GT turbo motor operates with a lead resistant lambda probe and generates approximately 200 hp (149 kW). The B204FT has a catalytic converter and generates 185 hp (138 kW). Both were the first redblocks standard equipped with oil squirters for piston cooling. Crankshaft, conrods and pistons all forged. Exhaust valves were sodium filled for cooler operation. It has smaller valves and stiffer valve springs than n/a 16V. Crank torque is 290 N·m (210 lb·ft) at 2950 rpm for the GT, and 280 N·m (210 lb·ft) for the FT. Other differences from the normal 16V redblock engine are that it uses a remote mounted oil filter (Away from block on exhaust side engine mount) and a windage tray.
For the B230 engines 1993, piston cooling, oil squirting jets were added to help alleviate piston slap problems on the turbo motors. Another modification was to go from a square toothed timing belt set up to a round toothed timing belt setup which made for quieter belt running.
The last redblocks were made in 1998, when the 940 model was discontinued in Europe, although the 940 was discontinued in 1995 in North America.
Special versions[edit]
Special version for certain European export markets (e.g. Greece, Israel) with shorter stroke than the B19, 88.9 mm × 71.85 mm (3.5 in × 2.8 in) bore and stroke for 1,784 cc displacement.
B19 Turbo[edit]
The 1,986 cc 136 PS (100 kW) B19ET was sold in certain markets where engines of over 2 litre displacement were heavily taxed, such as Italy. The engine has the same stroke as all other redblocks, the smaller displacement is the result of a smaller bore (88.9 x 80.0 mm). It is a very robust engine with forged pistons (made by Kolbenschmidt).[citation needed] The B19 later turned into the B200 low friction engine.
B23 Turbo[edit]
The B23ET and B23FT motors were offered for two years only in the 1983 and 1984 Volvo 700 and 200 series. Both the B23ET and B23FT are somewhat unique in the 700 series as they were the only turbo motors offered in the 700 series with a block mounted distributor, forged pistons and a forged crankshaft. The B23ET was the only redblock known to be equipped with a small coolant passage version of the higher flowing 405 cylinder head, the FT had to make do with normal 398 head. As these motors predate the low-friction B200 and B230 turbos and are equipped with forged pistons and crank, they are often considered one of the most robust Volvo turbo motors.
16 Valve Variants[edit]
B204GT in a Volvo 960
Introduced in 1989 for the 740 GLE (and later used in the 940/960), The 16-Valve Redblock motors were offered in both a 2.0 litre Turbo (B204FT/GT) and a 2.3 litre 154 hp Naturally aspirated version (B234F). The head was designed for Volvo by Porsche.[citation needed] In addition to the 16 Valve head, these motors were equipped with twin counter rotating external balance shafts and the engine block itself differs from the 8V redblock. The block differed from the standard B230 in that the auxiliary shaft (used to drive the oil pump and distributor on models that had block mounted distributors) was replaced with an external oil pump. The 16-Valve head was itself a completely new design for Volvo: The head was of a multi-piece design featuring a separate cam carrier and lower section. The later "white block" motors can trace their head design back to the two-piece setup found in the B204 and B234. The 2.0 litre turbo variant was introduced for European markets with tax structures tied to engine displacement such as Italy. Unique to the B204 turbo was an exhaust gas pyrometer which was used to detect excessively high exhaust temperatures. When excessively high exhaust temperatures were detected, the fuel injection computer would richen the mixture. It has a forged crankshaft, cast pistons, and 13 mm (0.5 in) connecting rods.
Although a powerful engine for its time, the 16 Valve engine can experience some problems that can be solved easily. One of the few problems is oil pump gear problems leading to broken timing belts. The oil pump gear


How Did Sylvia Plath Die?
Sylvia Plath was a child prodigy, and she was a perfect child and student. She was praised by everyone for her perfectionist nature; as she did everything right from the word go. When she was eight years old, her father died. This left Sylvia quite sad and also she developed suicidal tendencies later in her life.
She attempted to commit suicide when she was in junior college by taking seeping pills and overdosing on them. However, she survived that incident.
Plath ended her life when she was only thirty years old. She locked herself in a room with her children in another room. Plath put her head into the oven and turned on the gas. The next morning she was declared dead. However, it was comprehended that Plath really did not intend on killing herself or never thought she would succeed. Also, she asked her neighbor Mr. Thomas at what time he would be leaving the next morning. She also left a note that was a reminder to call Dr. Horder and even had his phone number written down. The next morning the baby sitter could not get into the apartment and had a workman help her get in. It is then that the baby sitter and the handyman found Plath. Her head was still inside the oven.
However, in her biography it was written that she pushed her head deep into the oven and she had all intentions of killing herself. Also, there were claims that her husband was abusive towards Plath. The exact reasons for her suicide were never known even to her good friends.

Alexa.Gadget.SpeechData Interface
This interface sends your gadget speechmark data. Speechmarks are metadata that enable your gadget to synchronize speech with visual experiences. One example of an action that your gadget can take based on this data is to lip sync to Alexa's text-to-speech (TTS).
Supporting this interface
To support this interface, the gadget must respond to the Echo device's Discover directive with a Discover.Response event that includes the following entry in its array of Capabilities:
 "type": "AlexaInterface",
 "interface": "Alexa.Gadget.SpeechData",
 "version": "1.0",
 "configurations": {
 "supportedTypes": [
This interface includes one directive: Speechmarks, as described next.
Speechmarks directive
This directive provides speechmark data to your gadget. The.proto file contents are as follows:

 alexaGadgetSpeechData.SpeechmarksDirectivePayloadProto payload = 2;
 header.DirectiveHeaderProto header = 1;
message DirectiveHeaderProto {
 string namespace = 1;
 string name = 2;
 string messageId = 3;
 string dialogRequestId = 4;
message SpeechmarksDirectivePayloadProto {
 repeated SpeechmarksData speechmarksData = 2;
 message SpeechmarksData {
 int32 startOffsetInMilliSeconds = 3;
 string type = 2;
 string value = 1;
 int32 playerOffsetInMilliseconds = 1;
The fields in this message are as follows:

type The type of speechmark data that this directive contains. Currently, the only possible value is "VISEME". Viseme is a mouth position that corresponds to a spoken sound. string
value The value of the speechmark. string
startOffsetInMilliSeconds The start offset of the value, in milliseconds.
To determine how to sync speechmark data to Alexa's speech, use startOffsetInMilliSeconds minus playerOffsetInMilliseconds.
For example, say your gadget receives the following viseme speechmark data at playerOffsetInMilliseconds = 7000:
value: "t", startOffsetInMilliSeconds: 3000
value: "a", startOffsetInMilliSeconds: 5000
value: "p", startOffsetInMilliSeconds: 9000
value: "e", startOffsetInMilliSeconds: 11000
Because playerOffsetInMilliseconds is 7000, your gadget should start considering the values at "p", and ignore the earlier values.
If playerOffsetInMilliseconds and startOffsetInMilliSeconds are both zero, the gadget should process the data immediately.

Hide the date from the taskbar in Windows 7
By default, Windows 7 displays the date next to the time in the notification area of the taskbar (system tray). This used to be the case with previous versions of Windows when you resized the taskbar to a large enough height to allow enough space to show the date, and even the day of the week. In this tutorial, we will show you how to hide the date from the Windows 7 taskbar, without having to hide the time! This means that you will keep the system clock, but only show the time, without a date.
Note that this tutorial assumes that you want to hide the date from the taskbar, but that you still want to keep the time showing in the notification area; if this is not the case, Windows 7 lets you show or hide the clock altogether, and completely remove it from the taskbar.
Show only time in taskbar, no date
To hide the date from the taskbar, follow these steps:
- Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, and choose "Properties"
- Windows 7 will open the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" window
- Make sure that the Taskbar tab is selected
- When, as is the case by default, Windows 7 uses "Large Icons" in the taskbar, it makes your taskbar higher, as shown on the screenshot below:
- In the Taskbar properties window, check the "Use small icons" checkbox
- Now, click Apply to preview the change; Windows 7 will make the icons smaller, and at the same time make the taskbar itself smaller. As you noticed, the taskbar no longer displays the date, but it still displays the time:
- And, best of all, even if the date is now hidden from the taskbar, you can still see it by moving your mouse cursor above the clock, and leave it there for a second or so:
And this is all it takes to hide the date from the Windows 7 taskbar! You can at any time get the date by moving your mouse above the system clock, or by quickly resizing (temporarily) the taskbar, to get not only the date, but also the day of the week:
Tip: you can also view a full month calendar in the taskbar (instead of just a simple day or date), by giving a single click on the system clock. Some older versions of Windows used to accept a double-click, which would show the full date and time settings, but since Windows Vista you have this mini built-in calendar, right in your taskbar.up ↑

Continuing advances in modern data acquisition techniques result in rapidly growing amounts of geo-referenced data about moving objects and in emergence of new data types. We define episodic movement data as a new complex data type to be considered in the research fields relevant to data analysis. In episodic movement data, position measurements may be separated by large time gaps, in which the positions of the moving objects are unknown and cannot be reliably reconstructed. Many of the existing methods for movement analysis are designed for data with fine temporal resolution and cannot be applied to discontinuous trajectories. We present an approach utilising Visual Analytics methods to explore and understand the temporal variation of spatial situations derived from episodic movement data by means of spatio-temporal aggregation. The situations are defined in terms of the presence of moving objects in different places and in terms of flows (collective movements) between the places. The approach, which combines interactive visual displays with clustering of the spatial situations, is presented by example of a real dataset collected by Bluetooth sensors.


Diploma display ideas
Graduation day is one of the proudest moments in students' academic careers. Diplomas are symbolic of hours spent honing skills and working on assignments and, ultimately, success in the classroom. High school diplomas represent an opportunity to go on to higher learning or a trade, while college degrees indicate young people are ready to begin their professional lives.
Many graduates are excited about the prospect of receiving their diplomas. Once in hand, the document can be put on display. The following are some unique ways to showcase diplomas at home or at work.
One of the classic ways to display a diploma is in a frame. Many businesses offer customized framing where the frame material and the matting can be chosen. Some grads may want to include a photograph of the school or a picture of the graduate above the diploma. Graduates also may want to select a frame and mat that coordinates with school colors.
Create a shadow box
Consider displaying the diploma with other mementos from school. A shadow box is a large, deep display frame that can house items that are thicker than photographs or papers. Items such as a graduation tassel, medal or other award, a varsity jacket patch, or a program from a school performance or awards ceremony can be placed in the shadow box.
Create a photo wall
Display the diploma among other framed photos from school activities. This can elicit a trip down memory lane every time the wall is viewed. Some families may want to display their diplomas together, especially if multiple family members attended the same school.
Make a work of art
Various online art vendors can turn the diploma into different works of art. For example, engravers can laser engrave the diploma onto a wooden plaque. Then the diploma can be displayed in one location and the wood plaque in another.
Place it under glass
Display the diploma beneath the glass top of a coffee table. When entertaining guests, the diploma can make for a unique conversation piece.
A school diploma is worthy of recognition. There are various creative ways to display these documents that reflect the hard work and success of their recipients.
