The difference between alloy steel and tool steel
The difference between alloy steel and tool steel
Other alloy elements (such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, titanium, copper, tungsten, aluminum, cobalt, niobium, zirconium, and other elements), and some steels that also contain certain non-metallic elements (such as boron, nitrogen, etc.). According to the content of alloy elements in steel, it can be divided into low alloy steel, medium alloy steel and high alloy steel.
The difference between alloy steel and tool steel1. Steel means that the steel contains no alloys other than alloy elements such as silicon (generally does not exceed 0.40%) and manganese (generally does not exceed 0.80%, and the higher content can reach 1.20%), which is involved in deoxidation. Elements (except scrap elements) of steel. According to the unevenness of the content, it can be divided into low carbon steel (carbon content is generally less than 0.25%); medium carbon steel (carbon content is generally between 0.25% and 0.60%); high carbon steel (carbon content is a show It was 0.60%).
But there is no harsh border between them.
2. Definition of alloy steel: steel containing other alloy elements is alloy steel. The total content of alloy elements can reach 10 ~ 28%, which is high alloy steel.
Alloy steel, in addition to iron and natural elements in steel, also adds other alloy elements in order to change or improve certain characteristics of steel. For example, CrNiMnMoWVB. In addition to iron and carbon, some other metals are intervened in alloy steel to change the function of the material. The effect of chromium is to make steel resistant to corrosion, and the effect of nickel is to reduce the austenitizing temperature of stainless steel.
3. Definition of tool steel: Machining tool steel does not contain other alloy elements; tool steel is also a steel with a carbon content of less than 1.35%.
Tool steel, that is to say, except for the iron element, the material is generally only natural elements of carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus and sulfur, and no other alloy elements are added.
4. The difference between alloy steel and tool steel: tool steel does not contain useful alloy elements, but alloys with iron, carbon and manganese as the primary elements. Mechanical performance is generally inferior to alloy steel. In addition, the price of tool steel is much lower than that of alloy seamless steel pipe. From the above two points, Gusu alloy steel suppliers believe that the performance of alloy steel exceeds tool steel is the biggest difference.

Orihimechan no Hoppeta (Hand-made Bakery aLzo)
Orihimechan no Hoppeta means Orihimechan's cheek. Orihimechan is the Katano's industrial promotion character. The concept of the character comes from the Tale of Tanabata. In the story, Orihime is a female deity of weaving.
She fell in love with a deity of cowherd – Hikoboshi. As a result, people's lives were gradually decayed due to the fact that they didn't take their responsibilities as deity. Orihime's father who was very upset about the situation decided their separation. Although people's lives returned to normal, Orihime really missed Hikoboshi every night. In the end, her father allowed Orihime to meet up with Hikoboshi at Amanogawa River (the Milky Way) once a year.
Katano is deeply relating to the Tale of Tanabata. For example, in Katano, there are a lot of Tanabata's spots such as Hatamono Shrine, Hoshida Myokengu Shrine, Amanogawa River, and Aiai Bridge. The reason is that the landscape of Katano is quite similar to that of the tale of Tanabata. Hence, in the Heian period, the Heian nobles who used Katano as a vacation place put Tanabata-related names to each place.
The Hand-made Bakery aLzo started to make very soft bread using Katano's local produce. aLzo is one of Katano's unique bakeries which make original breads.


Set the background color of a Power BI Embedded IFrame
Date de publication : 01 juin, 2018
When the IFrame size that's allocated for an embedded object and the embedded object itself don't share the same aspect ratio, the result is gray margins on the sides (marked in red in the following figure).
Grey Shoulders
You can use the Custom Layout API to define how to fill the IFrame or set a fixed size for the object at any time. But that sometimes doesn't entirely fix the appearance of the gray margins.
You can now set the background color of the IFrame by making it transparent. By doing so, you'll give the IFrame the defined color of the DIV element that contains the IFrame. You have full control of what color/background layout will be seen in the margins, making the embedded object wrapped entirely by the application design.
Note that the default color is still gray, so you'll need to set a definition in the JavaScript code to get the transparency of the IFrame.

Sri Lanka Energy and Environment Facts
Natural resources, energy and environment
Sri Lanka's most important natural resource is precious stones, of which diamonds are most important for exports. Almost half of the energy and electricity consumption is covered by imported oil. The environmental problems are primarily about deforestation and soil degradation.
Sri Lanka Energy and Environment Facts
Sri Lanka is one of the world's leading producers of gemstones such as rubies, sapphires and topazes. The largest buyers are in the US, Japan, Europe and Thailand. It is believed that a large number of gemstones are also smuggled out of the country.
 - COUNTRYAAH: Major exports by Sri Lanka with a full list of the top products exported by the country. Includes trade value in U.S. dollars and the percentage for each product category.
In addition, graphite and the titanium mineral ilmenite are extracted for commercial purposes. The country also has limestone, quartz, mica, clay, salt, titanium, monasite, zircon, uranium and iron.
In addition to imported oil, energy is mainly extracted from domestic firewood and residual products from agriculture, and to a small extent from hydropower. Electricity is generated mainly from imported oil, but also from coal, hydropower and wind power. In 2011, the country's first and only coal-fired power plant was commissioned. Sri Lanka has no nuclear power plants.
 - Abbreviationfinder: A popular acronym site in the world covering abbreviation for each country. For example, SL stands for Sri Lanka.
Almost all (95 percent) of the Lankes have access to electricity.
Sri Lanka has problems with both illegal logging and land destruction, which in turn can trigger landslides. Some watercourses and beaches are polluted by emissions from industries and uncleaned wastewater. In urban and industrial areas, air pollution occurs.
Energy use per person
516 kilos of oil equivalent (2014)
Electricity consumption per person
531 kilowatt hours, kWh (2014)
Carbon dioxide emissions in total
18 394 thousand tonnes (2014)
Carbon dioxide emissions per inhabitant
0.9 tonnes (2014)
The share of energy from renewable sources
52.9 percent (2015)
Temporary budget is adopted
December 21
In order to avoid Sri Lanka being left without a state budget after the turn of the year, Parliament approves a transitional budget for the first four months of 2019, so that the country can, for example, pay off debt. An ordinary state budget for the entire 2019 is expected to be completed in February.
New Old Government
December 20
President Sirisena appoints a new government with 30 members. Prime Minister is Ranil Wickremesinghe. Sirisena retains the post of Minister of Defense and control of the police force. Wickremesinghe's former Minister of Finance and Foreign Affairs are returning their positions.
Wickremesinghe again prime minister
December 16th
As a result of the ruling in the Supreme Court on December 13, Mahinda Rajapaksa surrenders her claim to the Prime Minister's post, and Ranil Wickremesinghe is re-installed as the head of government.
HD: "Sirisena violated the Constitution"
13th of December
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Sirisena's decision on November 9 to dissolve Parliament and announce fresh elections was contrary to the Constitution. According to the constitution, the president can announce new elections only after Parliament has spent 4.5 years of the five-year term, which expires in August 2020. The UNP welcomes the decision as a victory for democracy.
The state budget for 2019 is missing
December 12
The Minister of Finance warns that the entire state apparatus will cease on January 1, 2019, as there is no state budget after the turn of the year. On the same day, Parliament voted, for the second time, for Wickremesinghe to be re-elected as Prime Minister. In the vote, only members of his UNP with allied parties are present. The supporters of Rajapaksa boycott the vote.
Court rejects Rajapaksa
December 3
A higher court ruled that Rajapaksa is not empowered to act as prime minister as long as his disputed government cannot prove its legitimacy.
The cash flow to the government is stifled
November 30
Parliament is voting to hold all money transfers to the Government Offices and Ministries to have control over the country's crisis economy itself. Exceptions are made for salary payments, pensions and basic community service. A day earlier, the largest Tamil party announced the Tamil National Alliance that it supported Wickremesinghe's demand to regain the post of prime minister.
Both heads of government are rejected
November 23
Parliament President Jayasuriya announces that he will reject both Rajapaksa and Wickremesinghe as head of government and appoint a committee to decide on the legislative agenda. The members present are voting to give Wickremesinghe the chairmanship of the committee. All supporters of Sirisena and Rajapaksa boycott the vote.
New distrust of Rajapaksa
November 16
Parliament for the second time makes a declaration of disbelief against Rajapaksa as new prime minister.
Fight in Parliament
November 15
Fighting breaks out during a session in Parliament. Members from different political camps throw things at each other and hand out fist beats. A person is taken to hospital with minor injuries. The President adjusts the session temporarily until the emotions have cooled down among the members.
Rajapaksa is voted off
November 14
Parliament gathers and declares a distrust of Rajapaksa as prime minister. Thus falls his government. That does not mean that Wickremesinghe will automatically become head of government because President Sirisena is the one who appoints it. Sirisena rejects Parliament's vote of no confidence and says that the vote was not properly conducted.
HD reinstates Parliament
November 13
The Supreme Court enters into the power struggle between on the one hand Parliament and Wickremesinghe, on the other hand President Sirisena and Rajapaksa when it annuls the presidential decree dissolving Parliament. Thus, the Legislative Assembly can hold a vote on the Prime Minister.
Sirisena announces new elections
November 9
President Sirisena dissolves Parliament and announces new elections until January 5, 2019. In this way, he avoids a vote in Parliament on the Prime Minister's post, and Rajapaksa can lead a transitional government until January 17, when a new parliament will meet. The decision was made after Sirisena admitted that Rajapaksa would not succeed in gathering enough support in a vote, and that Wickremesinghe would receive the most votes. Wickremesinghe's party UNP says that Sirisena violates the constitution when he dissolves Parliament and adds that the party will request that the decision be tried legally. Before Sirisena disbanded Parliament, he took control of the police by organizing it under the Ministry of Defense and over the State Information Agency publishing presidential decrees and proclamations and more.
Increased support for Wickremesinghe
October 31st
Tens of thousands of supporters of Wickremesinghe and the UNP manifest their support through a peaceful demonstration in Colombo. At the same time, the outside world is increasing pressure on President Sirisena to reinstate Parliament. The country's Chancellor Jayantha Jayasuriya refuses the Sirisenas dismissal of Wickremesinghe on the grounds that the president lacks the power to do so.
Appointed minister is arrested for shooting dead
October 31st
The recently deposed oil minister Ranatunga is arrested after union representatives accused him of ordering his bodyguards to shoot at a crowd outside the state oil company on October 28. One man was killed. The minister says the crowd attacked him and his staff and tried to take him hostage. Trade unions in the oil industry go on strike.
Incomplete government is presented
October 29th
President Sirisena presents an incomplete government with only twelve ministers. Rajapaksa is appointed Prime Minister as well as Finance Minister. This government promises quick cuts in taxes and lower fuel prices with more goods. Both camps are trying to co-negotiate with MPs to secure a victory in a vote on the Prime Minister's post when Parliament opens again on November 16.
Wickremesinghe receives Parliament's support
October 28
Parliament President Karu Jayasuriya announces that the Legislative Assembly continues to regard Wickremesinghe as the rightful prime minister, on the grounds that the president has no power to dismiss the head of government. Wickremesinghe is barricaded in its service room and more than 1,000 followers have gathered outside the building. One person is killed and two injured when the newly deposed oil minister's bodyguards shoot at a crowd trying to prevent the minister from entering the state oil company building. The United States calls on Sirisena to reinstate Parliament. Privately owned newspapers describe Sirisena's actions as a "constitutional coup". Rajapaksa says his ambition is to hold local and general elections "as soon as possible".
Parliament is dissolved
October 27th
President Sirisena will dissolve Parliament until November 16. This has happened since Wickremesinghe tried to get the UNP-dominated Assembly's support to stay


Lining Extrusion and Cracking
Lining extrusion and cracking may be caused by overheating, which can reduce the strength of linings so that the material yields and cracks from the effect of normal and shear forces transmitted through very thin oil films. Wiping does not necessarily occur under such conditions.
Addressing the Damage
Fit new or reconditioned bearing pads. To prevent future damage, investigate and, if possible, reduce the maximum operating temperatures.

ESX Server mounts the storage using UUID. With the hard disk changed, UUID changes too. Hence, ESX fails to mount
- You boot an ESX host machine from Acronis Bootable Media;
- You back up the machine's hard disk;
- After that you replace the hard disk in the machine with an identical one;
- You restore the backup to the new disk;
- You boot the ESX host machine from the restored disk;
- Guest Operating Systems fail to boot and ESX Server cannot recognize the restored disk.
ESX Server mounts the storage using Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). With the hard disk changed, UUID changes too. As a result ESX Server fails to recognize the restored hard disk and mount the storage. Hence, Guest Operating Systems fail to boot.
To migrate ESX Server to new hard disks you need to do the following:
- Restore an existing image of ESX Server to new hard disks;
- Boot ESX Server and hit Alt-F1 to enter the command-line interface. Log in under root;
- Issue the following command:
esxcfg-advcfg -g /LVM/EnableResignature
There will be either 1 or 0 value output. If the value is 0, then ESX will not automatically update the VMFS header with new LUN and UUID. Therefore this value should be set to 1:
esxcfg-advcfg -s 1 /LVM/EnableResignature
- Reboot the ESX Server:
shutdown -r 0
- After the reboot you should connect to the ESX Server from the Console and check if the data storage has been mounted properly.
(!) The Guest Operating Systems will remain in the unknown state. So, you should reinitialize guest virtual machines:
- In the left menu of ESX Server Console right-click on the guest machine name and click Remove from inventory;
- Choose host ESX server-> Configuration;
- Under the Hardware section choose Storage and right-click on it (it should contain a list of virtual machines;
- Click Browse Datastore;
- Choose the.vmx of the machine that was removed from inventory;
- Click on the Add this virtual machine to inventory option.
After this the ESX Server should work properly and Guest Operating Systems should boot.

Virginia Tech's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Virginia State University, Virginia Cooperative Extension, The University of Virginia, and the Virginia Food System Council with all its participating organizations initiated the Virginia Farm to Table initiative in September 2010. The goal of the initiative was to strengthen Virginia's food system and economic future through the development of a comprehensive Virginia Farm to Table Plan that informs and integrates assessment, education, development of programs and infrastructure, policy and funding recommendations to address key issues facing farmers, food entrepreneurs, and communities. The Plan would directly address 1) local regional farm and food markets 2) agricultural economic development, 3) community viability and environmental stewardship, and 4) food access, nutrition and health.Underlying assumptions and key tenets for the development of the Virginia Farm to Table Plan was that all Virginians should continued to be educated about the social, environmental and economic importance of the local food system and that quality food should be affordable and accessible to everyone in Virginia regardless of their economic means.

Status change means Dutch Antilles no longer exists
The Dutch Caribbean dependency the Netherlands Antilles has ceased to exist with a change of the five islands' constitutional status.
Curacao and St Maarten have become autonomous countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, joining Aruba, which gained the status in 1986.
Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba are now autonomous special municipalities of the kingdom.
The Netherlands retains responsibility for defence and foreign policy.
The Dutch government will also have initial oversight over Curacao's finances under a debt-relief arrangement.
Collectively, the islands had amassed a debt of around 2bn euros (£1.75bn; $2.8bn), most of it owed to the Netherlands.
The smaller islands of St Maarten, Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba said the debt was mostly run up by Curacao, the largest island and de facto capital of the former Netherlands Antilles.
Curacao complained that it was carrying too much of the financial burden for the federation, especially for Saba, St Eustatius and Bonaire.
Tourism, petroleum refining and offshore finance are the mainstays of the islands' economies.
The Dutch colonised the islands, alongside Aruba, in the 17th Century. The territory, once called the Dutch West Indies, became the semi-autonomous Netherlands Antilles in 1954.
The new status, which came into effect on Sunday, followed referendums over the past few years in which Curacao, St Maarten, Bonaire and Saba opted to leave the federation while St Eustatius supported the status quo.
None of the islands voted for independence.

What does the temperature of a compost heap have to do with a baby's sex?
As many gardeners know, a well-tended compost heap generates considerable heat as the mound of organic material decays. Ever wonder who invented this gardener's aid? Well, it just might have been a crocodile!
A female crocodile or alligator doesn't sit on her eggs to keep them warm. She covers them with soil and vegetation, and as this material starts to "compost," the nest mound heats up. But don't think the temperature of an alligator nest is a trivial matter. The nest is made with just the right mixture of mud and vegetation to create a precise range of internal temperatures. Why so specific? Because the sex of hatchling crocs and gators is determined by the temperature within the nest! Eggs incubated at around 89 degrees Fahrenheit produce females, while those at temperatures below 87 degrees produce mainly males. In a well-constructed croc nest the eggs on top will be a few degrees cooler than those closer to the bottom, and -- VOILA! -- when the babies hatch there are usually an equal number of males and females.
This phenomenon (known as temperature-determined sex) is amazing, but it's not unique, also occurring in turtles and lizards. The sex of human babies, however, is not known to be affected by the temperature of their parents' compost heap.

text: Criterion of the synchronization (CS) of cells division for S. typhi population is proposed. The criterion is based on the assumption of the normal distribution of cells with different generation time in the population after stressor (shock) action. CS is equal to the ratio of the dispersion of the generation time of cells in the population to the average generation time of the whole population and determined from the parameters of the mathematical model. The quantitative values of the parameters of the mathematical model were obtained by the minimization of error between the calculation and experimental data. CS was used for the evaluation and choice of the optimum stressor action in the synchronization of the division of S. typhi.

This paper presents an empirical study of some non-exhaustive approaches to optimizing preferences within the context of constraint-based, mixed-initiative planning for mission operations. This work is motivated by the experience of deploying and operating the MAPGEN (Mixed-initiative Activity Plan GENerator) system for the Mars Exploration Rover Mission. Responsiveness to the user is one of the important requirements for MAPGEN; hence, the additional computation time needed to optimize preferences must be kept within reasonable bounds. This was the primary motivation for studying non-exhaustive optimization approaches. The specific goals of the empirical study are to assess the impact on solution quality of two greedy heuristics used in MAPGEN and to assess the improvement gained by applying a linear programming optimization technique to the final solution.

Exactly what does it Indicate When You Name Your Baby Sugar Baby?
 - Home
"Sugar Baby" is one of the many names which has been given to the brand new genre of baby titles that are turning out to be popular in nation and the British isles. So what really does it indicate? Sugar baby is short for nice baby or sugar baby. This is a baby brand that _URL_ has been taken from the baby meals industry and is not related to the infant's health by any means. "Sugar" is simply name that sounds lovely.
What does it mean when somebody names their very own baby Sugar Baby? The meaning is pretty simple; the infant is going to be a small baby and the parents will attempt to keep the sugar absorption to a minimum mainly because that can actually cause medical problems. It is funny how that actually works because it actually is in the identity but the name is what is will make or break the baby. It is rather common to have child girl and have a child boy known as the same sugar babies sugar daddies thing, but in this case it might not be and so common.
"Sugar babies" because they are known to have been chosen seeing that the _URL_ favored brand of parents diagnosed with a family history of sugar gliders. The gliders are marsupials that are mostly from Sydney. They are primarily nocturnal in nature and in addition they primarily take in insects as their diet. They are small in size at about two pounds and the females are usually about ten pounds in pounds.

Start Evolves Webinar: Dan McClure on feedback loops for complex systems
07 July 2017
The Start Network's vision is a humanitarian system in which funding will be dependable and predictable, responses are based on humanitarian need and context-appropriate. For this to become reality, the Start Network needs to evolve into a global, decentralised 'network of networks'.
But what kind of organisation can help deliver such a complex system, one that can impact across the humanitarian sector? In this webinar, Dan McClure of ThoughtWorks discusses the importance of feedback loops in achieving emergent change, and how we can move away from traditional organisational structures.


Ordering of Steps
In the recipes package, there are no constraints on the order in which steps are added to the recipe; you as a user are free to apply steps in the order appropriate to your data preprocessing needs. However, the order of steps matters and there are some general suggestions that you should consider.
Transforming a variable
Handling levels in categorical data
The order of steps for handling categorical levels is important, because each step sets levels for the next step to use as input. These steps create factor output, even if the input is of character type.
Dummy variables
Recipes do not automatically create dummy variables (unlike most formula methods).
Recommended preprocessing outline
While every individual project's needs are different, here is a suggested order of potential steps that should work for most problems:
 1. Impute
 2. Handle factor levels
 3. Individual transformations for skewness and other issues
 4. Discretize (if needed and if you have no other choice)
 5. Create dummy variables
 6. Create interactions
 7. Normalization steps (center, scale, range, etc)
 8. Multivariate transformation (e.g. PCA, spatial sign, etc)
Again, your mileage may vary for your particular problem.

SplitterContainer control with a fixed panel is resized due to the DPI setting, the
SplitterDistance value is not changed. This may result in the fixed panel appearing either too small or too large, depending on whether the DPI setting was increased or decreased.
For example, a Form with
AutoScaleMode set to
ScaleMode.DPI, and a
FixedPanel set to
SplitterDistance set to 140 appears as follows at it's native DPI (100%):
This is how it appears when run at a higher DPI (125%):
All the controls were resized, but
SplitterDistance was left unchanged at 140.
Note that this is only a problem when
SplitterContainer.FixedPanel is set to
Panel2. If it was set to
SplitterDistance would be adjusted to match the resizing.
The solution to adjust
SplitterDistance during the
Form.Shown event handler. The resizing does not work properly if performed in the constructor or the
Form.Load event handler.
Using the code
Include the following code snippet in your Form-derived class:
private SizeF scale = new SizeF(1.0f, 1.0f);
protected override void ScaleControl(SizeF factor, BoundsSpecified specified)
scale = new SizeF(scale.Width * factor.Width, scale.Height * factor.Height);
private void Fix(Control c)
foreach (Control child in c.Controls)
if (child is SplitContainer)
SplitContainer sp = (SplitContainer)child;
private void Fix(SplitContainer sp)
float sc = (sp.Orientation == Orientation.Vertical)? scale.Width : scale.Height;
if (sp.FixedPanel == FixedPanel.Panel1)
sp.SplitterDistance = (int)Math.Round((float)sp.SplitterDistance * sc);
else if (sp.FixedPanel == FixedPanel.Panel2)
int cs = (sp.Orientation == Orientation.Vertical)? sp.Panel2.ClientSize.Width :sp.Panel2.ClientSize.Height;
int newcs = (int)((float)cs * sc);
sp.SplitterDistance -= (newcs - cs);
Remember to call
Fix(this) from the Form's
Shown event handler. For Example:
private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
Points of Interest
I am puzzled as to why the SplitterDistance values must be adjusted during the
event handler, and not during

How to find your school group in the Kinsa app
Haz click aquí para una traducción de esta guia
Trying to join your school group in the Kinsa app? Sometimes it can be hard to find, so we've got some tips and tricks to help.
Note: Only schools which have been accepted into the FLUency program will appear in the app.
You've probably received a flyer or email if your school is in the program. But if you're not sure, please check with your school's nurse or principle before contacting Kinsa.
To find your school:
 1. Open your Kinsa app
 2. Tap the ⚙ Settings icon in the top right corner of the screen
 3. Tap Join my school group
 4. In the search bar, type the unique and unchanging part of your school's name.
The unique and unchanging part of your school's name is important since the same school can use many different names and spellings. But the Kinsa app always looks for an exact match so if you're having trouble, follow these tips:
 - Double check your school name's spelling and spacing.
 - For example, if your school's name is "Sandhill" but you search "Sand Hill", the school won't appear until you remove the extra space.
 - Search the part of the school's name where the spelling doesn't change.
 - For example, if you're looking for "St. John's Elementary" don't type "St. John" or "Saint Johns". Instead, just type "John".
 - If your school is named after a person, it may be listed under that person's full name or initials.
 - For example, if you can't find "FDR Elementary" by searching "FDR", try the full name of "Franklin Delano Roosevelt" or just "Delano" instead.
 - If you can't find your school by name, try by city instead.
 - For example, type "Flagstaff" or "San Francisco".
If you tried all of our tips and tricks and cannot find your school, don't worry - we're here to help. Click the pink Get Help button at the bottom right of this window to send your question to our Customer Happiness team.

Manufacturing Methods for Sulfur Concrete Sewer Pipe
This Phase I research is intended to evaluate the feasibility of manufacturing low-cost, acid-resistant sanitary sewer pipe from sulfur concrete. Sulfur is an abundant mineral recovered from coking, natural gas processing, and petroleum refining. Secondary recovery of sulfur, resulting from environmental regulation, produces more material than is needed by U.S. industry. The U.S. Bureau of Mines developed a process by which elemental sulfur can be used as a thermal cement with aggregate fillers to make concrete. Sulfur concrete appears to be a good solution to solve the problem of deteriorating sewerage structures made from Portland cement. Portland cement is alkaline and has been found to perform poorly in the acid environment in most sanitary sewer systems. Alternative materials that can solve the problem of premature failure of concrete pipe are expensive. The purpose of this Phase I project is to develop a low-cost alternative to traditional concrete pipe.

A Metamorphmagus
Remus Lupin on his infant son's Metamorphic abilities[src]
Difference between Animagi and Metamorphagi
"Metamorphmagi are born, not made."
—Tonks explaining to Harry about Metamorphmagi[src]
Using Metamorphic abilities
—Tonks regarding her Metamorphmagus abilities[src]
Nymphadora Tonks changing her facial features at will and with ease
It is unknown whether Metamorphmagi receive any training in developing their innate skill, or if they learn through trial and error; given their rarity, it is unlikely that much training is available. However, Tonks has shown that she only needs to concentrate a little to change her appearance, so it may be simply a matter of the Metamorphmagi wanting to change. While it has been debated whether Animagi transformations and Disapparition require a wand, it seems Metamorphmagi do not need theirs to utilise their abilities, as Tonks has claimed that other wizards need a wand or potions to transform, meaning Metamorphmagi such as herself are not restricted as such.
Tonks angry
Tonks' hair changing colour under the influence of her emotion
It is unknown if Metamorphmagi must register with the Ministry of Magic like Animagi must, as Metamorphmagi did not choose to become what they are, while Animagi did. Although unlike Animagi, Metamorphmagi do not possess any distinct markings that come with their transformation, so it would be far more difficult to keep track of them for any signs of ability abuse.
Like many other types of magic, a Metamorphmagus' abilities are affected by his or her emotional state. The person's appearance at any moment will often reflect the emotion the person is feeling at the time. Strong emotions, such as shock or sadness, can affect their abilities to the point of having trouble using them at all. For example, Nymphadora Tonks had difficulty using her abilities following Sirius Black's death, when she was depressed over her feelings for Remus Lupin.[3]
Metamorphic abilities can be very helpful when it comes to disguises. For example, Nymphadora Tonks was able to put her abilities to use in performing espionage for the Order of the Phoenix. She also got full marks in Concealment and Disguise of her Auror training, implying that this ability can be used for official examinations and competitions.[1]
Albus Dumbledore wrote an article examining whether it was possible for Metamorphmagi to use their transformational abilities to disappear without a trace in a 1926 issue of Transfiguration Today.[4]
Known Metamorphmagi
Behind the scenes
 - In latin, the female form of Magus is Maga. However, female Metamorphmagi are never refered to as "Metamorphmaga" or "Metamorphmagae", which would be the female plural, in canon.

Modeling the phase behavior of the membrane binding protein annexin V
Langmuir, Volume 18 p. 2988- 2992
The bulk thermodynamic properties of proteins originate from a varied and complex combination of interactions. We propose a simple model for the formation of ordered two-dimensional aggregates based on the interactions between pairs of annexin V molecules. Simulations of this model are shown to reproduce the experimental observations of a honeycomb (p6) and a triangular (p3) crystalline phase. The simulations indicate that the transition between these two phases is first order. While this model is extremely simple in that it relies only on hard body and short-range directional interactions, it nevertheless captures the essential physics of the interactions between the protein molecules and reproduces the phase behavior observed in electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy experiments.

Sometimes it is useful to be able to fairly quickly fire off a directory of unit tests using MxUnit. EditPlus and the UserTool functionality come in handy once again:
 1. Create a new user tool; I called mine MxUnitTest a Directory
 2. Command: c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
 3. Argument: http://localhost/mxunit/runner/HtmlRunner.cfc?method=run&test;=$(FileDir)&output;=html&componentPath;=$(Prompt)
The $(Prompt) argument is there to ask you what the component path is. For example I just ran this one against lb2.unittests.model.bean - it wants the component path to the directory so make sure you don't include the final portion that would point to a specific component.
The ($FileDir) argument basically grabs the full path to whatever directory your currently active file is in.

New sentencing guidelines that will see the courts take full account of the harm caused by offences such as arson attacks on historic buildings or criminal damage leading to severe disruption of public services were published today by the Sentencing Council.
For the first time, all courts in England and Wales will have formal guidance to ensure that they take account of:
- The full impact of arson or criminal damage such as vandalism on national heritage assets including listed buildings, historic objects or unique parts of national heritage and history.
- The economic or social impact of damaging public amenities and services such as a fire at a school or community centre, or criminal damage at a train station, which can adversely affect local communities or cause economic hardship to neighbouring houses or businesses.
- The effect on communities when an area's emergency services or resources are diverted to deal with an incident of criminal activity.
The guidelines acknowledge that harm can involve not only physical injury but long-term psychological effects, and that damage to property can be about more than just its financial value.
Judges and magistrates will also consider requesting reports to ascertain both whether the offence is linked to a mental disorder or learning disability in order to assess culpability, and whether any mental health disposal should be considered.
The guidelines, which come into effect on 1 October 2019, will help to ensure that sentencing by judges and magistrates will be consistent across the whole range of these offences. Limited guidance exists in magistrates' courts, but the new guidelines apply to all courts.
The new guidelines cover the following offences:
- Arson – criminal damage by fire
- Criminal damage / arson with intent to endanger life or being reckless as to whether life endangered
- Criminal damage where the damage has a value of more than £5000
- Criminal damage where the damage has a value of less than £5000
- Racially or religiously aggravated criminal damage
- Threats to destroy or damage property
Sentencing Council member Her Honour Judge Sarah Munro QC said:
"The Council's guidelines ensure that courts can consider all the consequences of arson and criminal damage offences, from a treasured family photo being destroyed to someone nearly losing their life and home in a calculated and vengeful arson attack."
Welcoming the new guidelines Mark Harrison, Head of Heritage Crime Strategy for Historic England, said:
"England's heritage can't be valued purely in economic terms. The impact of criminal damage and arson to our historic buildings and archaeological sites has far-reaching consequences over and above what has been damaged or lost.
"Damage to our heritage comes in many forms. Whether it be graffiti painted on the walls of a historic church, vandalism to the stonework of an ancient castle or causing a fire that devastates a Medieval barn or Victorian pier; these offences have a detrimental impact on both the historic property or site and the local community in which it is located.
"The new guidelines will help the courts identify all the relevant factors to include in their sentencing decisions as they will now be able to consider 'threats to cause criminal damage', 'the act of damage' and 'damage by fire'. It will also aid Historic England's work with the Police and Crown Prosecution Service when cases involve damage caused to heritage or cultural assets."
Neil Odin, Chair of the National Fire Chiefs Council Prevention Coordination Committee, commented:
"I fully support these new guidelines for dealing with arson attacks through the courts. Deliberate acts of arson are a blight on our local communities and have an economic impact on businesses.
"In addition, damage and the loss of historical buildings is disruptive and impacts on our vitally important heritage. Arson also increases demands on the already stretched resources of fire services across the country, which can result in diverting resources away from other incidents.
" It is worrying to see that there has been an upward trend of arson since 2014/15 and while we will continue with prevention work to reduce these figures, it is important the courts can deal with criminal damage appropriately, sending a clear message to other people."
Justice Minister Robert Buckland said:
"Beyond the financial cost to victims, arson and criminal damage are serious offences which can risk lives and leave lasting psychological harm.
"So it is right that courts have clear and consistent guidance when sentencing offenders to ensure punishments properly fit the crime."

Why are bees swarming around my bird feeder?
Bees are swarming on my bird feeder and eating all the bird seed. Birds are even staying away. I've never seen this before; what's the reason for this odd behavior?
Honey bees are only territorial of their hive and will not try and protect a food source beyond that area. Honey bees foraging away from the hive nest will only sting when immediately threatened. Stepping on a bee will provoke it to sting, but if the bee is released before a stinging occurs the bee will not pursue whatever stepped on it. Cattle will avoid grain feeder due to bees that get into the nostril and mouth when feeding. Birds may step on bees or hit them with their beak while
feeding. Birds may also just be intimidated by the presence of the bees.

Warning: Using the Handle after the resource has been closed will usually throw an exception or result in a program crash!


What is a cleft chin?
A cleft chin refers to a chin with a Y-shaped dimple in the middle. It's usually a genetic trait.
Depending on your preference, you may consider cleft chins a sign of beauty or not. You can both add and remove a cleft chin with chin surgery, also called mentoplasty.
Before having surgery to create or remove a cleft chin, it's important to understand the structure behind cleft chins. You'll also want to consider the risks and costs associated with surgery.
Whether or not you're born with a cleft chin depends on your genes. If other people in your family have a cleft chin, you're more likely to have one as well.
The signature dimple of cleft chins forms before birth. This happens when the two sides of the lower jaw don't completely fuse together during fetal development. Aside from the dimple, this doesn't cause any other symptoms.
There are surgical options for both removing and creating a cleft chin.
Surgery to remove a cleft chin
Chin surgery can either remove a cleft chin or reduce the size of the dimple. Both are usually done with a chin implant that's designed to fill in the dimple. Your surgeon will work with you to determine the right implant shape for the look you're after.
You'll likely have swelling in your chin immediately after surgery, which can make it hard to see your new chin. Keep in mind that it may take several weeks to months for the final results to appear.
Surgery to add a cleft chin
Creating a cleft chin, on the other hand, doesn't involve any implants. Instead, your surgeon will remove some of the soft tissue below the skin where the dimple should be placed. This is done either with liposuction or a traditional surgical method.
If there's not enough extra tissue around the dimple, your surgeon may need to remove some of the bone. This is usually done with a small cutting device called a bur, which is inserted through your mouth.
Similar to removing a cleft chin, it can take up to several months to see results after having surgery to create a cleft chin.
While mentoplasty is generally safe, it does carry a few risks regardless of whether you're removing or adding a cleft chin.
These risks include:
 - infection
 - excessive bleeding
 - scarring
 - swelling
 - undesirable results
You can help to reduce these risks by telling your doctor if you:
All of these factors can make surgery more dangerous. Depending on the type of surgery, your surgeon may be able to use different techniques to reduce your risk of having problems.
It's also important to be prepared for a long recovery period. While your surgeon can estimate how long you'll need to recover, that timeline varies from person to person. You may recovery faster or slower, depending on your overall health and the type of surgery you have.
If at any point you feel your chin isn't healing properly, contact your surgeon. They may need to make some adjustments or ensure you don't have an infection.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of chin surgery is about $2,225. However, that number depends on the type of work you have done. For example, removing bone usually costs more than adding an implant.
Keep in mind that this number doesn't include the cost of anesthesia and any related hospital fees. In addition, your insurance company may not cover cosmetic chin surgery. Talk to your medical team and insurance company before booking your surgery so you're prepared for all related costs.
Cleft chins are a genetic trait marked by a dimple in the middle of your chin. Depending on personal preference, you may want to either add or remove a cleft chin. You can achieve both of these with surgery.
Work with a surgeon to come up with the best technique for the look you desire. and make sure you're aware of all the costs involved before going in for the procedure.

Thermoregulatory Sweat Test
Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is a heritable, progressive disease that causes the buildup of amyloids, or clumped proteins, in the nervous system and elsewhere. These amyloid deposits cause the death of nerve cells and interfere with the function of the tissue in which they accumulate.
Diagnosing FAP is challenging because the symptoms are similar to those of other neurodegenerative diseases. A thermoregulatory sweat test can help physicians determine a FAP diagnosis.
How is the thermoregulatory sweat test performed?
Sweat glands are controlled by nerves in the skin; autonomic nerve signals are sent from the brain to tell the glands to secrete sweat. In FAP patients, this nerve signal can be interrupted by the formation of amyloid deposits around the nerves.
The thermoregulatory sweat test is performed at a hospital or clinic. Patients have an area of skin (usually hands, feet, arms, or legs) dusted with a powder that responds to moisture by changing color. The patient sits or lies down in a warm, moist room to encourage sweating for a set period of time. The degree of color change at the end of the test is proportional to the amount of sweat produced, which is, in turn, is proportional to nerve activity.
What do results of the test indicate?
Results of the thermoregulatory sweat test indicate whether a patient has loss of nerve function, which may indicate a neurodegenerative disorder such as FAP.
On its own, the thermoregulatory sweat test does not mean that the patient has FAP specifically, but can indicate that a nerve defect is present.
The thermoregulatory sweat test can also be used to measure disease progression once a diagnosis has been reached. As the disease progresses, scores will change, reflecting the decrease in nerve function.
The thermoregulatory sweat test may be performed in combination with a quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test (QSART), another measure of nerve activity.

Normally, the charcoal / charcoal briquette moisture content should be in range of 7-10 %. However, there are some differences between charcoal (wood charcoal) and charcoal briquette.
1) If the charcoal manufacturer use water to extinguish the fire, then it would be somewhat higher moisture off the stove than to extinguish by closing the kiln, which almost no moisture left. Anyway, Usually charcoal will absorb the moisture in the atmosphere soon after you remove the charcoal from the kiln. If you do not put water directly to stop the carbonization (stop the charring), then the moisture content will not exceed 10%.
Other categories, such as mangrove charcoal imported from Myanmar, most of it will be humid because the sea water or sea water splashing into the boat. The salt is very rich in charcoal.
Ever is the time to send them to the destination. Countries with low humidity, like the Israel, the weight after 1 month storage can loose more than 5-10% in dry season. It has been my experience with clients who have experienced this but they were already aware of this problem at first (that is what I was told).
Conclusion is that rarely do they make it much moisture. But we can check easily and to be aware of is the time to pack a bag or box. If too damp can cause rot box or bag wet. You can test by packing and taking the box/bag under the sun and then, after back into the shade and cooling, open to check it.
Because containers can reach reach 60-70 degrees Celsius during shipping, if travel long distance like to Europe it will be more than 1 month, extreme heating/cooling will cause the problem.
2 ) Charcoal briquette with moisture higher than 10 percent moisture, it will become softened and mushy after a 1-2 day after packing. Thus, carry out a test (same as charcoal case), it is not difficult to know that the humidity is low enough or not.


Create, Edit, or Remove PDF Annotations in UWP
Once PSPDFKit for Windows has loaded annotations from a PDF, these annotations will be made available via the Document API.
The API will return a List of IAnnotations. This interface allows you to determine the AnnotationType and several other properties and methods common to all annotations, such as BoundingBox, Id, PageIndex, and ToJson().
The BoundingBox describes the annotation's location and size on the page. This property is represented by a Rect, with X and Y describing the top-left coordinate of the annotation on the page, and the Width and Height describing the size of the annotation.
PSPDFKit for Windows and PSPDFKit for Web use Instant JSON coordinates. In other words, the origin of the page, "0,0," is at the top left, with the Y axis value increasing as you move down the page. If you need to convert between these coordinates and PDF coordinates — which have their origin, "0,0," at the bottom left, with the Y axis value increasing as you move up the page — you can use the conversion utility methods here.
Using the AnnotationType property, you can cast to a specific annotation type to work with its specific APIs:
if (annotation.AnnotationType == AnnotationType.Ink)
 var ink = annotation as AnnotationType.Ink;
 return ink.IsSignature;
Creating, Updating, and Deleting Annotations
To create an annotation on a page, instantiate the type you want:
var textAnnot = new Text
 Contents = "A new text annotation",
 HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right,
 VerticalAlign = VerticalAlign.Center,
 BoundingBox = new Rect(10, 10, 300, 300),
 FontSize = 48,
 Bold = true,
 Italic = true,
 FontColor = Colors.Cyan
Then you can add it to a page like this:
var createdTextAnnotation = await pdfView.Document.CreateAnnotationAsync(textAnnot);
After it's added to a page, the new annotations will have a unique Id.
If you wish to update an existing annotation, this can be done like so:
createdTextAnnotation.VerticalAlign = VerticalAlign.Top;
createdTextAnnotation.Opacity = 0.5f;
await pdfView.Document.UpdateAnnotationAsync(createdTextAnnotation);
To delete an annotation, you only need its Id:
await pdfView.Document.DeleteAnnotationAsync(createdTextAnnotation.Id);

I saw this in a lesson:
In this context, refers to islands, as in "Will you go to all of them [the islands]?" But, when I hear that my brain thinks refers to the subject, as in "Will all of you go?"
Could refer to both the subject and the object, depending on context? How would one translate, "Will all of you go to all of them?"?
share|improve this question
For the last one you can try this: "你们每一个都会去所有的岛屿吗？" (Will everyone of you visit all of the islands?) – 杨以轩 Dec 5 '13 at 8:27

Yes, 都 can refer to either subject or objects.
 1. When subject is plural, 都 refer to "all" of the subject.
 For example:
 你们都来嘛？Are all of you coming?
 同学们都交按时交了作业。 All of the students in the class handed in their homework in time.
 2. When subject is single, and object is plural, then 都 refers to "all" of the object.
 For example:
 你把糖果都吃了？ Did you eat all of the candy?
 这些衣服你都买吗 ？ Are you going to buy all of those clothes?
 那些岛屿你都会去吗？Will you (single) go to all of the islands?
 3. When both subject and object are plural, if only using 都, it is ambiguous as we don't know if it refers to the subject or object or both. So we either need to draw more info from the context, or if no context, we will have to ask the speaker to clarify on this.
 For example:
 那些岛屿你们都会去吗？Will (all of?)you (plural) go to (all of?) the islands?
 When we mean all of the subject AND all of the object, then we will have to use TWO words meaning "all" (所有/全部/都/全/全都) together.
 For example:
 你们都交了全部的作业嘛？ Did all of you guys hand in all the homework?
 你们都会去所有的那些岛屿吗？Will all of you (plural) go to all of the islands?
 But sometimes it is still ambiguous even we use TWO such words.
 For exmaple:
 In this sentence, 所有 refers to the islands for sure, no doubt about it. But 都 may refer to either object or subject. So we still need to ask the speaker to clarify on it.
 For this sentence, if there is no context, and we are not able to ask the speaker to clarify, then my intuition of interpreting this sentence is that both 所有 and 都 refer to islands.
Conclusion: The things 都 refers to are somehow impacted by the sentence structure.
share|improve this answer
As mentioned previously, 都 simply means 'all', and what it really refers to purely depends on the context.
In this example sentence, the singular form of 'you' (你) is used, and 'all of you (singular)' does not make much sense. So it would not be usually understood this way. The interpretation that makes the most sense would be:
"Will you go to all?"
However, there is another interpretation: 都 can be understood as 'even' sometimes. So this sentence, without any context, can be also interpreted as
"Even you will go?"
Note that in speaking, the first and second interpretations can be distinguished by stressing on different syllables (on 都 for the first, and on 你 for the second), but there is no way to tell when it is written out if no context is provided.
I would not normally interpret this sentence as 'Will you also go'. The more common way to say the latter (at least in most parts of mainland China) is '你**会去吗?' However, my observation is that people from Hong Kong tend to use '都' when they really mean the Mandarin '也'(too, also), AND VICE VERSA. So, this sentence may be understood as 'Will you also go' in Hong Kong (correct me if I am wrong), but less likely in Mainland China.

+1. Before reading the rest of the question, I instantly read, "你都会去吗？" as "Will even you be going?". – Janus Bahs Jacquet Dec 6 '13 at 14:39
From what i read from the text i would translate it as: "Will you also go?"
"Will all of you" I would translate as 你們都會
So "Will all of you go to all of them" 你們都會去全部嗎？
share|improve this answer
So adding 你們 effectively changes the context of, so that a whole new grammar pattern needs to used when referring to objects? – Ken Oh Dec 4 '13 at 14:11
We distinguish thou and you in Chinese, so that it is not possible here for 都 to be you all, as you here is singular.

PigProgress - What to do when tail biting occurs?
What to do when tail biting occurs?
Almost all conventional pig producers will be familiar with tail bitten pigs. It's called a tail biting outbreak when biting leads to multiple victims per pen, or even spreads throughout the barn. Outbreaks are hard to stop – here is how it is possible to overcome an outbreak successfully.
Tail-bitten pigs are often noticed only at an advanced stage, when there is shortening of the tail. At this stage it is likely that most other pigs in the pen have noticed the blood and been attracted to it. That may motivate them to bite and to create new victims.
Ideally, tail biting is noticed at an early stage, before there is blood on the tail and before the tail length is reduced. This can be through either noticing the biter or noticing the victim. When a pig is repeatedly biting tails, the pig can be observed for ten to 15 minutes to see if it continues biting. If this is the case it might be better to remove the potential problem causer.

Tail posture as indicator
Victims can be recognised at an early stage by looking at tail posture. A tail almost permanently tucked between the legs indicates it is being bitten. A briefly tucked tail can, however, be in response to other social interactions such as displacement. A good time to check tail posture is at the feeder. If the feeding is synchronised, it is easy to check all tails together. Even at an individual feeding station, if pigs are constantly seen with tucked tails when feeding, there may be a biting problem in the pen. A tucked tail should be inspected closely; if injuries are present, then it is better to act immediately rather than wait until it gets worse.

What to do?
Action to address tail biting can be through providing distraction to the group or by removing biters or victims when it is more severe. Almost anything can be used to distract pigs, but they easily lose interest. It is therefore more important to change enrichment regularly than to necessarily have the best type of enrichment. However, enrichment should be safe for the animals and not pose risks for food safety.
Good enrichment materials for pigs are chewable, destructible and edible and can be manipulated by multiple pigs at the same time. Loose materials such as straw, hay and sawdust are most used by pigs, but if the housing limits the provision of these, there are other alternatives. Examples are ropes, large feed pellets (beetroot pellets), soft rubber hoses and jute sacks (burlap sacks).
What to do when tail biting occurs?
Using a step-wise protocol
Straw is one of the best materials to occupy pigs. However, for several reasons straw may not be a suitable option or possibility, especially on fully slatted floors. In Ireland about 80% of farms have fully slatted floors. A recent study conducted on a farm in Ireland showed that tail-biting outbreaks can still be effectively reduced using a set protocol. In this protocol three types of intervention were used in a random order:
A. Putting three ropes in a pen of 12-14 pigs
B. Removing the victim
C. Removing the biter.
If after 72 hours blood was detected on one of the pigs in the pen, then the next step was taken. When an option was applied but was not successful, then the next one was applied until all three options had been used. Victims or biters that had been removed were later introduced back in the group as described in the protocol in the box. This resulted in no overt aggression between the pigs when the removed pigs were reintroduced to the original group.
Figure 1 – Step wise plan for overcoming tail biting problems in a pen.
What to do when tail biting occurs?
80% of outbreaks can be solved
The study showed that 80% of severe tail-biting outbreaks could be stopped, even when removed pigs are reintroduced to their original groups. Adding ropes could shorten the duration of an outbreak, since it may take longer to remove and reintroduce pigs. Removing victims or biters was as effective as adding ropes in stopping an outbreak. All pigs were reintroduced to their original groups, which saved the need to have extra space to permanently house removed pigs. Based on the outcomes, the following stepwise plan was recommended (see Figure 1).
Figure 2 – The chance of reducing a tail biting outbreak 'likelihood of success' depends on the number of victims and biters per pen.
The need to respond quickly
The results also showed the importance of responding quickly to the occurrence of tail biting. The chance of successfully reducing a tail-biting outbreak depends on the number of affected pigs in the pen. Figure 2 shows that if more than 50% of the pigs are victims of tail biting, the chance of success in overcoming the outbreak can still be around 60%. But if 33% of pigs are biters, then the chance of stopping the outbreak is only 30%. Thus, the more biters in the pen, the smaller the chance that the outbreak can be stopped.
How to remove and reintroduce pigs from a group?
1. Determine which pig to remove to gain most benefit.
2. Remove the selected pig together with at least one other pig.
3. Write down the pen number from which they are removed and date of removal.
4. Provide a recovery pen without mixing with other unfamiliar pigs.
5. When the pigs have recovered, or at least within seven days, return the pigs together to the original pen.
6. Provide ropes in the pen at the time of reintroduction.
7. Use scent marking spray such as diluted Dettol when pigs are returned.
Have a tail-biting first aid kit
This protocol worked successfully at the farm, which is a conventional farm with fully slatted floors. This does not mean that the protocol will be successful under different conditions. We encourage others to try it but to have other safety measures ready as well. We recommend having a stock of different enrichment objects and products that are directly available whenever an outbreak occurs. Such a 'tail-biting first aid kit' can include ropes, straw, toys, large feed pellets (beetroot pellets), rubber hoses and jute sacks (burlap sacks).

The Old Colony Building was designed and constructed between 1893 and 1894 by the architectural firm of Holabird and Roche. As Chicago School architects, they sought to reveal the character of the steel skeletal structure while cladding their buildings with an appropriate surface. The 17-story steel frame building is sheathed in Bedford limestone on the first three floors and by gray brick and terra cotta above that. A two-story colonnade runs along the 15th and 16th floors with a cornice crowning the 17th floor. Oriel windows project from every corner of the building from the third story to the cornice. The design's unity derives from the repetition of Chicago windows along the second floor and in the center bay of the north facade. Variety is found in the contrast between the horizontal stress of the narrow north facade and the distinct vertical thrust of the long east and west facades.
The facade of the Old Colony Building has remained intact, although major alterations to the interior have occurred on the ground floor. The lobby's original surfaces and stairs have all been replaced and the open cages of the elevators have been enclosed.
The Old Colony Building is located at 407 S. Dearborn St. and the lobby and some offices within are open to the public.

When the hospital ceased to operate in 1979, the address was 3131 Lakeshore Boulevard West, and it was located at the northeast corner of Lakeshore Boulevard West and Kipling Avenue, in the former City of Etobicoke, Ontario. When it opened on January 21, 1889, it was situated what was then considered the western part of the village of Mimico. Later, this area eventually develped into an industrial centre called New Toronto in the 1890s and was subsequently incorporated as a village in 1913. At that time, the address was 1007 Lakeshore Road. When Lakeshore Road was renamed, becoming an extension of Lakeshore Boulevard West, and the address was changed to 3131 Lakeshore Boulevard West. In 1967, New Toronto became part of the Borough (and later, in 1984, City) of Etobicoke which was merged into the new City of Toronto (part of the Greater Toronto Area) in 1998.
Years of Operation and the Official Names
The asylum opened on January 21, 1889 and closed down on September 1, 1979. It was originally known as the Mimico Branch Asylum, as it formed part of the Provincial Lunatic Asylum at 999 Queen Street West in Toronto, Ontario, caring only the chronically ill. Between 1889 and 1979, it was also referred to as the Mimico Insane Asylum (renamed 1894, becoming a seperate institution that offered treatment to all types of patienta), Ontario Hospital, Mimico (1920), and later Ontario Hospital, New Toronto (1934). In 1964, the name was changed again to Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital. Unofficially, the hospital has been commonly referred to as a Lakeside Sanatorium, Lakeshore Asylum, Mimico Asylum and Lakeshore Hospital, along with the usual range of derogatory names associated with psychiatric hospitals, such as a "nuthouse," "looney bin," etc.
Years of Construction
The initial stage of construction of the asylum started in 1888 and was completed in 1889. Assembly Hall was built in 1897 and the Gatehouse in 1899. For more information on the history of specific structures, prefer refer to The Architecture.
The Architect and the Style
Kivas Tully (1820–1905), the Chief Provincial Architect, was responsible for preparing architectual plans for the buildings. He also designed a number of other structures in Toronto, including the Old Trinity College. The design of the therapeutic landscape was developed by Samuel Matheson, a landscape gardener. The asylum was built in the combination of the Romanesque and Gothic Revival styles.
Patients without any family and/or financial resources were buried to rest at the asylum cemetery, located at the corner of Evans and Horner Avenues, about five kilometers north. Wooden coffins were made by patients at the asylum carpentry shop. After the closure of the hospital in 1979, the cemetery was abandoned. Beginning in 2005, restoration efforts have been made by a group of volunteers. Please consult the Lakeshore Asylum Cemetery Project.
The Closure in 1979 and the Aftermath
Despite an active protest of the staff, some patients and their families, as well as local residents, the hospital was closed down on September 1, 1979, following the decision of the Ministry of Health. Dennis R. Timbrell, the Minister of Health,, made an announcement in his speech on January 22, 1979 with regard to this decision.
The decision was inspired by the prevailing trend of deinstitutionalization, which advocated that that mental health patients were able to benefit more from their treatment by living in the community as opposed to being committed to an institution. Furthermore, the issue of funding for the continued operation of the mental hospital from the government was also taken into consideration. At the time of the closing, the hospital was seen as an antiquated relic of Canada's Victorian past, with the most recent renovations having been done in the 1930s.
After the closure, as it was the case with other psychiatric hospitals in Canada and abroad, many of the patients became homeless. The most severely ill were transferred to the newly constructed Queen Street Mental Health Centre (the former Provicial Lunatic Asylum), as well as Whitby and Hamilton Psychiatric Hospitals, which remained opened. Other patients were released and an outpatient community psychiatric clinic was opened in Cottage 2. Later, the Lakeshore Outpatient and Community Clinic was opened at 3170 Lakeshore Boulevard West and it continued the tradition of providing mental health services in New Toronto until 2008.
During the 1980s, the grounds were used by a number of film corporations to shoot movies, most famously Police Academy and the television series Night Shift, among others. And as it is usually the case with many many old, abandoned institutions, most of the structures quickly began to deteriorate, often falling prey to frequent trespassing and ensuing vandalism.
The underground tunnels were designed in order to quickly travel between the various buildings, and were often used by staff during unfavourable weather conditions. Patients probably had restricted access, and probably they were required to be accompanied by a member of the staff. When the asylum was first built, it was equipped with a miniature railway tracks, located in the tunnels, which were used to deliver food to individual wards from the main kitchen, located in the Central Building. It was removed in the thirties due to its deteriorating condition. Today, the tunnels are still utilized by the Humber College, accessible only to staff.
Some of the present staff and students of Humber College, which now occupies the site of the former hospital, claim that the former Cottages are, in fact, are visited on a regular basis by ghostly appearances. For more information, please go to Haunted or Not?

A Guide to Blanking in Contract Manufacturing
Many startups and small product manufacturing businesses do not have the capital needed to construct and operate a production facility. In these situations, they often turn to contract manufacturers to make their products so they do not need to invest in their own factory. Below, we provide an overview of contract manufacturing, discussing what it is, what types are available, what to look for in a good partner, and what role blanking can play in the process.
What Is Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing is a business relationship in which one company (the contracting company) outsources some or all of its manufacturing operations to another company (the contracted company). The contracted company produces parts and products to the specifications given to it by the contracting company.
There are many advantages to forming a partnership with a contract manufacturer. For example, the contracting company does not need to worry about making their products, so they can focus their resources and efforts on other parts of the business, such as sales and marketing. Additionally, contract manufacturers may offer other services that can further streamline the product development process for the customer, such as design assistance, assembly, and distribution.
What Are the Different Forms of Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing can be classified into several categories depending on what the contracted company provides to the contracting company. Four of the most common are:
 - Producing complete goods. This type of manufacturing relationship is also referred to as private label manufacturing. In this situation, the contracted company produces complete products for the contracting company. In addition to making all of the parts and components that go into the product, they assemble them together.
 - Producing parts or components. In this situation, the contracted company produces parts or components for the contracting company. The contracting company then uses these pieces in their own assembly operations to create finished products.
 - Supplying a service or labor. In this situation, the contracted company provides services to the contracting company, such as design, manufacturing, and distribution. The contracting company uses these services as part of their product development process. The contracted company may also supply a labor force if the contracting company does not have the manpower to carry out production.
 - Providing manufacturing equipment or facilities. In this situation, the contracted company allows the contracting company to use their equipment or facility to make the desired products.
7 Qualities to Look for in a Contract Manufacturer
Given the key role a contract manufacturer has in the production of a product, companies must choose who they partner with carefully. Otherwise, they risk subpar products, unmet production orders, and more.
The seven top qualities to look for in a good contract manufacturing partner are:
 1. ISO Certification
 2. Good Reputation in Market
 3. Good Financial Situation
 4. Clean Facility
 5. Good Management at the Facility
 6. Flexible to Market
 7. Can Meet Product Demand
How Does Precision Blanking Fit in With Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing can encompass a wide range of manufacturing processes, including precision blanking. Precision blanking is a fabrication process that uses a punch and die to remove a piece—i.e., a blank—from a sheet or strip of material. Both the punch and die are in the shape of the desired component, ensuring the piece removed has the proper form.

Death of a Salesman: From Page to Stage
AbstractConsidering the original dramatic text Death of a Salesman, the objective of the present research is to study and analyze different modes of adaptation carried out advancing from Persian page translations toward its considered stage performance. Using Ladoucer's (1995) model for the translation of drama texts, the Persian (audiovisual) stage performance and the two published Persian page translations involved, were analyzed so that the cases of alteration were identified and compared with/to one another. The results of the study revealed that in the case of page translation, alterations were carried out mostly due to linguistic and cultural mismatches and for the sake of the target readership. On the other hand, in the theatrical system, the alterations could be observed at a higher level in the form of freer adaptations, where not only the linguistic and cultural mismatches, but also the style and creativity of the theatre members, especially those of the director are involved. Thus, in the context of the theatrical production, different modes of adaptation are carried out when the authority of the theatre producer along with the value, taste, and interest of the theatre goers are to be taken into account.
