A novel wavelet-based algorithm for real-time detection of epileptic seizures using scalp EEG is proposed. In a moving-window analysis, the EEG from each channel is decomposed by wavelet packet transform. Using wavelet coefficients from seizure and nonseizure references, a patient-specific measure is developed to quantify the separation between seizure and nonseizure states for the frequency range of 1-30 Hz. Utilizing this measure, a frequency band representing the maximum separation between the two states is determined and employed to develop a normalized index, called combined seizure index (CSI). CSI is derived for each epoch of every EEG channel based on both rhythmicity and relative energy of that epoch as well as consistency among different channels. Increasing significantly during ictal states, CSI is inspected using one-sided cumulative sum test to generate proper channel alarms. Analyzing alarms from all channels, a seizure alarm is finally generated. The algorithm was tested on scalp EEG recordings from 14 patients, totaling 75.8 h with 63 seizures. Results revealed a high sensitivity of 90.5%, a false detection rate of 0.51 h-1 and a median detection delay of 7 s. The algorithm could also lateralize the focus side for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.


Rice Water for Skin, Hair and Health
The craze of using rice water is catching up very fast. If you have not yet heard of it, rice water is highly beneficial for certain health issues and also in taking care of the skin and hair. Let us first see the health benefits:
 - instantly energizes the body due to the high concentration of carbohydrates
 - provides instant relief from diarrhea
 - has been used successfully to treat gastroenteritis
 - prevents cancer
 - controls high blood pressure
 - helps in preventing Alzheimer's disease
 - reduces the body temperature or internal heat of the body
 - prevents constipation
In short, I would say it provides all the health benefits that eating rice would provide. But, more than that, rice water has been used as a face wash and a hair wash.
 - Washing your face with rice water makes your skin very soft and it also helps in improving the complexion
 - Is a great substitute for toner and firms up your skin
 - Helps in reducing the size of the pores on your skin
 - Washing your hair with rice water brings shine in the hair and helps to keep it healthy. Follow up with cold water rinse.
 - Powdered rice grains are also used as body scrub and they make your skin extra soft
How to make rice water?
I have read at many places that the water used to wash rice prior to cooking is rice water. But, that is not the actual rice water. You may collect it but it will not give you the full benefits. Instead, you should boil the rice in more water than usual quantity you use so that the rice does not absorb all the water and strain the extra water. This water is the actual rice water which is full of nutritional benefits. You may drink it or let it cool to use as a face wash or a hair wash. You may even garnish it with various spices and herbs. Read this article for step by step instruction on how to cook rice water.
Watch the video to learn how you can use rice water in various ways. But, make sure you cook the rice water the proper way.

 hi dear i have a question how often shd we use tis rice water and if we boil the rice it also contain salt as we add salt in the rice is it ok to use such water on yr skin
 - says
 oops!!! I didn't see about the salt part. yes, don't add salt as it dries out the skin if used on a daily basis. actually, we do boil rice without adding salt.
 - Anonymous says
 do not add salt while cooking the rice. You add it when u want salt later. One benefit u dont need loads of salt
 the curries and other side dishes will add the salt ok bye
 - says
 Well, the whole point of rice water is to place the RAW RICE into warm/hot water to leave behind all the healthy benefits. At that point, you'd drain the rice water off and THEN you start to add ingredients to your rice, that including the salt. You add anything to your rice while making your rice water.

 Delicious Rice water Recipe:
 1 Cup rice
 1 Cinnamon stick
 1/2 Gallon of cold water
 put the rice and the cinnamon stick(cut in half)in a bowl with 3cups of water wait for about an hour and put in a blender use a strainer to pour the water in to your 1/2 gallon of cold water so the rice and cinnamon stay on the strainer and not on water,add Sugar to your rice water and enjoy :)
 - Shikha says
 If you add salt then may be fat increase so you can drink it like a normal water and use like a normal water on face and hair
 2. says
 Hey Fatima
 You can use the rice water any number of times you want. There is no limit. And, yes, there is no problem in drinking rice water with salt or using it on skin. But, make sure not to use it on hair because salt is not good for hair.
 3. says
 hi dear thnks for the reply i was wondering whether the starch water we get whn we cook the rice is it safe for the skin

 Can you please tell me what rice protein does for your skin? I have seen this in facial products, but have been unable to find any info on it. Is it the same as what you are speaking of?
 Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.
 5. says
 hey…rice protein makes skin soft, firmer and lightens the skin tone too…so using rice water helps in keeping skin soft….hope this answers your doubt…do get back if you have questions…would love to clarify them :)

 hi dere…Liked ur info…well just wanna know a homemade cleanser nnd one more thing for how many days we can store the boiled rice water..Esha..
 9. says
 hi Esha…I am sorry but I didn't get the point of homemade cleanser….boiled rice water should ideally be consumed on the same day I suppose..actually you can make it in adequate quantity and if any extra is left, just drink it…it is very nutritious and healthy for intake too :)
 10. says
 Hi Swati
 I was reading another article on rice water and it said tht the water left after washing the rice has to be used.And yur post says that the water left after cooking the rice has to be used. Please advise
 11. says
 Hi Ariya…welcome to my blog….I have mentioned this point in the post that many people advise that collecting that water is beneficial for skin but actually that water is more of dirty than full of benefits from rice..that's what I feel and I have drunk the rice water from boiling so I know its a bit different in texture than the water collected from washing rice…so my advise would be to get boiled rice water…hope this helps :)
 12. Anonymous says
 When you use rice-water you have to use the water left over from rinsing the rice. Because it is full of impurities, you should separately boil this water. I have found that if you refrigerate it the product lasts longer. Tip: try adding green tea while boiling and it becomes a great skin-care product ^__^
 13. says
 Love your blog :) found this just a few days before my marriage it was great but if I had known this before It would've been just great, my bad luck.. nevertheless…
 I found this tip very useful and forced it on my husband too.. He also liked it.. hehe :) I just wanted to know if we can preserve this water?? usually when I cook thr is a lot of rice water left out and i collect everything. Its not possible to use the whole thing. So I was just wondering if it can be refrigerated or preserved in some other way?
 14. says
 thanks a lot Madhuri and welcome to the blog…hope you will keep enjoying it :)
 yes, you can keep the water I guess…I am not very sure but I don't think it will get spoiled if refrigerated but not more than 3 days!!!
 15. Madhuri says
 Yes you are right.. I had kept it outside for several days and what I noticed was that the starchy texture is gone and it becomes just plain thin translucent kind of water.. So it becomes useless for what we actually want to achieve. So use it the same day or maximum the next day not more than that.

 hi… but does having the boiled rice water result in weight gain??
 please advice as i was told that if u consume it everyday it results in weight gain.
 thanks so much
 - says
 well…as far as my experience with the rice water, I didn't notice any weight gain and I had taken rice water for a long time!!! but, may be its possible because it has starch. But, if you take brown rice water, that will not cause any such effects. hope this helps :)

Riposte is a fighting command which can be used to rapidly counterstrike against an opponent following a successful parry, providing an almost free attack.
Riposte may be only be performed when armed, and when the player's tactics-response is set to either 'parry' or 'neutral'. Command help describes riposte as a thrust attack and it seems to only work with weapons that can either Stab or Pierce. You need sufficient Strength relative to the weight of the weapon (see Research:Riposte).
Riposting is a three-stage process:
 1. The player must pass a fighting.special.weapon skillcheck in order to prepare the command.
 2. They must then successfully parry an incoming attack against the opponent on whom they are executing the riposte.
 3. They then perform a normal skillcheck of their appropriate fighting.melee weapon skill for an extra attack.
Riposte gives the player a single extra attack that has a very low action point costresearch. Note that a riposte attack is essentially a normal attack - it doesn't do significantly more damage than normal, and it can be defended against just like any other attack.

Weather Overview for Tenerife north
Tenerife North has been a haven for holiday seekers from Europe and other parts of the world since the 1960s. Located at about 300 kilometers from the Atlantic coast of north-western Africa and about 1000 kilometers from the southwestern tip of the Iberian coast, Tenerife North, one of the Canary Islands, is situated north of the Tropic of the Cancer, between latitudes 28° and 29°N and 16° and 17° longitude. Tenerife North enjoys relatively warm weather all year round, which draws millions of holiday seekers to this part of the island.
The geology of Tenerife North and the whole island is generally volcanic in its origin. Mt. Tilde, one of its volcanoes, has been relatively sleepy since its last eruption in 1909. The entire island actually rose gradually from the sea floor by way of volcanic eruption about twelve million years ago.
With its rugged and jagged topography that was slowly shaped through millions of years of volcanic eruptions and erosions, Tenerife North and the whole island boasts fertile soil that has been long utilised for sugar cane planting. The island's varying landscapes generally show a contrasting weather pattern between the relatively cooler Tenerife North and the warm south.
The weather of Tenerife North is in stark contrast to that of the southern part of the island. It is widely covered with a variety of vegetation and pine forests blanketing its mountain ranges. The southern part of the island, on the other hand, has drought-resistant plants because of its semi-arid temperature. The central and northern valleys are covered with sub-tropical forest attesting to the contrasting weather within the relatively small island.
Mount Teide
One of the tourist landmarks of Tenerife North is Mt. Teide with its high snow-covered apex. It is one of the largest volcanoes in the world and the highest in all Spanish territory. Mount Teide rises more than 7,000 meters from the ocean floor. The surrounding part of Mt. Teide is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The snow crested Mt. Tilde divides the north and south of this island and creates the drastic contrast of temperature between the hotter south and the relatively rainy and cooler north.
One main reason why millions of tourists are drawn to Tenerife North is for the warm climate. Tenerife is known as the island of eternal spring. The moderate climate of Tenerife North is conditioned by the trade winds and tempered by the cool gulfstream air currents. The sun almost always shines as the entire island is on the same latitude as the Sahara desert.
The temperature in Tenerife North on the average is around 26-28°C (78.8-82.4°F) during the summer, with a high probability of sunshine throughout the year. Humidity and precipitation is condensed in the north toward the northeast of the island, which will create cloud banks at an altitude of _PHONE_ meters (2624.6-3280.8 ft) along the slope of Mt. Teide.
The Atlantic Ocean's icy sea currents around Tenerife North add some cooling effects to the coastlines and beaches of North Tenerife during summer. The island's landscape and topography greatly influence the weather in the interior parts of Tenerife North especially in the northern valleys.
Erratic weather conditions
The peculiar thing about Tenerife is that the island offers some sort of micro-climatic weather zones, which manifest contrasting weather patterns within the relatively small land area of the island. Tourists can practically choose the climate of their choice by preferring to stay on a certain part of the island.
In direct contrast to the weather of the southern part of the island is that of the northern and northwestern Tenerife where Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Tenerife North are located. These areas receive approximately 73 per cent of all the precipitation in the island. These parts of the island have cloudy skies, rain, and fog, which can be expected any time in the afternoon any time of the year. Weather change on this part of the island can be erratic and is a great challenge to forecast.
Winter in North Tenerife is relatively warm as compared to the northern continental Europe. The temperature during winter months ranges from 20 to 22° Celsius (68-71.6°F). Cooler temperatures are more prominent in the higher slopes of Mt. Teide, plus travelling towards Pico de Teide, there's a gradual change in temperature from warm to moderately cool. Going higher towards the peak, there's a more dramatic change in temperature relative to the altitude. Freezing temperatures can be expected at the higher altitude at certain times, especially, during the winter months. In fact, in the higher altitude, snowfall could be experienced despite the fact that the coasts remain clear and sunny.

Phuket Pronunciation: How do you pronounce Phuket?
How to pronounce Phuket or Phucket or Puket or Pooket
Here is an unexpected funny question I get often:
How do you pronounce Phuket?
For most of us, it's obvious, so obvious I'm still surprised when someone asks. I thought 2004 tsunami put Phuket and its name on the map once for all. But not… I still hear lots of hesitation, snickering and giggling. Lately some overseas offices called and asked if my residence was in:
"Fooc..." (hesitates)... "Fuuc... " (errrr...) "Faac...kit"? (giggles).
I couldn't help but giggle back at the embarrassed tone, the poor guy wanted to say the 'F' word so bad...
No sir, you just pronounce 'Poo-ket' [pʰuːkɛt] (in Thai: ภูเก็ต), it's that simple! Just like 'Phi Phi' is pronounced 'Pee Pee' and 'Phang Nga' is 'Pang Nga' (and strangely 'Suvarnabhumi' airport is pronounced "Sue-wanna-poom"!)
Phuket or Phucket or Puket or Pooket, you name it...
So where does 'Phuket' come from? It seems to originate from the Malay 'Bukit' (Book it?) which means 'hill', but was previously named 'Thalang' by locals. Thalang is still the name of the north of the island where the original main town was long ago.
In the 17th century when tin mining made Phuket very attractive to the Occident, Europeans called it 'Jungceylon'. Yes that's the origin of the name given to the giant Jungceylon Shopping Mall in Patong, and looking around the shopping center reveals few hints about old Phuket. If you want to know more about Phuket history, you can visit the Tin Mine Museum in Kathu.
All this story is obviously a lame excuse to post these fun photos showing some of Phuket Streets and buildings in the past and how they look like today :-D

Sinking lake levels have exposed some of Hill County's hidden secrets.
Fossils and Native American tools from eight thousand years ago are easy to find at Lake Whitney, and looters are taking advantage.
They used to be buried in underwater caverns, but the drought has evaporated that protection.
"The looter and scavenger comes and digs up the site," said U.S. Army Corps Engineer Brad Demsey. "They just destroy all that and leave it to the side."
Even in remote parts of Lake Whitney that were once buried under concrete for security, scavengers unearth and discard valuable history.
There are fossils and Native American tools from prehistoric times.
Texas and federal laws ban the removal of Native American artifacts from archaeological sites, but burial grounds have been disturbed.
It has been decades since the lake has been this low. Demsey said it has been 20 years since anyone has seen the caverns.
Authorities patrol Lake Whitney and have made 30 arrests. Violators were put on probation and fined thousands of dollars.
But, state and federal agents fear the only the thing that can truly protect the historic artifacts is enough rain to end a historic drought.

AW: do plants really follow the sun
Buschmann, Henrik buschmann at
Fri Jan 21 08:19:46 EST 2000
in principle every cell should be able to detect the direction of light.
Practically this should be true for leaf tissues (+flowers) and tissues of
the stem. The ability to "follow" the sun should be restricted to actively
growing parts. Leaves and flowers of sunflower plants follow the sun during
its daily course. This is also known as solar tracking. Not every plant (how
many at all?) does this.

- 2. How does a continuous band sealer work
- 3. Machine parameters
- 4. What kind of bags can the continuous band sealer be used to seal
- 5. The structure of the continuous sealing machine
- 6. The details of the continuous band sealer
- 7. Why do we need a continuous sealing machine
What is a continuous sealing machine
A continuous sealing machine is used to seal bags of powders, granules, liquids, etc. This band sealer is novel in structure, simple in operation, and complete in function, pushing and sealing at one time. It has a high degree of automation, which can significantly reduce the workload of workers.
How does a continuous band sealer work
|Maximum load of conveyor table||10kg|
What kind of bags can the continuous band sealer be used to seal
In fact, our machines are suitable for sealing thermoplastic materials (PP, PE, laminates) of any size and length. We offer both horizontal band sealers (where the bag is flat on the conveyor belt) and vertical band sealers (where the bag is in a standing position on the conveyor belt). Our band sealers can be used in a wide range of applications and industries, such as pharmaceutical, food, agriculture, daily chemical, etc. Besides, you also should notice the bags used for the vacuum sealer, granule packaging machine for 5-50kg.
The structure of the continuous sealing machine
The details of the continuous band sealer
Why do we need a continuous sealing machine
In Taizy Company, our continuous sealing machine has the following advantages:
- The body is made of stainless steel, with beautiful appearance and strong stability. Small machine size makes it easy to maintain and portable.
- The operation panel is simple and easy to operate, and the temperature can be adjusted at any time.
- The heating block and cooling block of the machine are made of pure copper block. The pure copper heating block makes the bag sealing area heated evenly, and the cooling block dissipates heat with cold air to help the sealing set quickly. By the way, the heating block is attached with a heat insulation cloth, so there is no need to worry about the melting of the bag due to the high temperature.
- The metal embossing wheel seal is firm and beautiful, and the pattern is clear and the indentation is flat. Ink wheel with printing wheel can meet the manufacturers' needs for printing the production date and shelf life, etc.

Event Detection / Handling in Smart Energy Environments
The goal of this PhD project is the formalization and the development of a generic event detection process applied to serve various smart energy environments such as Smart Buildings, Smart Grids, and Smart Cities for example. By automatically detecting the events that could arise in such environments, event handling mechanisms can be put into place. This could serve for improved conceptualization and management of these environments, both from an energetic and utility point of view.
The study is designed to develop a technological base that offers:
- A generic framework for event detection
- A platform enabling the integration of the event detection mechanism into different smart energy networks
- An intelligent processing that allows not only event detection but also provides event handling and a better overall understanding of these environments

Well logging technique is used to determine the physical and chemical properties of borehole formation, by using neutron porosity oil well logging tools. The present study simplifies logging tool design in order to reduce the time spent on obtaining well logging. We have combined both carbon/oxygen (C/O) tool and thermal neutron porosity tool. This has been done by adding boron lining on the detectors in C/O tool, where the boron lining acts as a thermal neutron porosity tool while maintaining C/O functions simultaneously. The Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) Transport Code, which was originally developed in Los Alamos National Laboratory, is used to investigate the combined tool response. The combined tool is employed to detect the effect of porosity. The effects of several factors, such as (i) the source-to-detector spacing, (ii) borehole salinity, (iii) capture cross section, (iv) boron lining thickness, (v) formation salinity, (vi) borehole salinity, (vii) temperature, and (viii) the casing on the detection sensitivity are investigated. The results show that the number of detected gamma rays is proportional to the porosity. Furthermore, a sensitivity measure (i.e., the sensitivity ratio) is defined and used to characterize the detectors sensitivity to the porosity. The effects of various factors on the sensitivity are studied and the response function is found to be very sensitive to the porosity especially in the domain of low values of it. The temperature factor was only examined to assess its effect on the nucleus speed. However, the results of our simulations showed that the temperature has very little minor effect. Evidently, the tool is sensitive to the porosity while maintaining all the functions of the C/O tool, which suggests that the boron lining can efficiently serve as a replacement of the porosity tool.

FIBA, the international governing body of basketball, has demonstrated its dedication to sustainability by unveiling an MVP trophy crafted entirely from 100% recycled materials. This significant initiative took place during the FIBA 3×3 World Tour 2023 held in Edmonton, Canada.
The design of the trophy was entrusted to Sustain Awards, and it has been meticulously crafted using sustainable methods and techniques, employing 100% recycled waste packaging as its foundation.
This innovative approach has led to a remarkable 75% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions throughout the trophy's entire manufacturing process compared to a conventional trophy. This encompassing reduction covers various aspects such as materials, packaging, and transportation.
Furthermore, this environmentally conscious process effectively offsets a total of five tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e). This figure is equivalent to the impact of removing 397 cars from the road for a single day.
Alex Sanchez, the Managing Director of FIBA 3×3, emphasised the significance of this trophy in symbolising FIBA 3×3's strong commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. He expressed pride in being at the forefront of introducing an environmentally-friendly trophy, which stands as a testament to FIBA 3×3's dedication to sustainability and innovation.

Adding the Parameter Trigger to a SiteSpect component allows you to use parameters in the URL to match on:
- Parameter Name – Enter the name of the Parameter variable you want to match.
- Parameter Value – Enter the value of the Parameter variable you want to match.
Using Parameters is a standard way to generate dynamic content on web pages and web applications. Parameter names and values (variables) are part of the URL or are sent in the request when an HTML form is submitted. For example, consider the following URL: (e.g., /details.asp?id=5783). In this example, id=5783 are the Parameter Name and Value.
The variables submitted by an HTML form are the input, textarea, button, and other HTML form components in the form source. SiteSpect can use these details to help you define whether a page or page component from your website matches.
To match the Parameter Name and Value, you must complete both the Parameter Name and Parameter Value fields. In addition, both fields must match in order for the Trigger to be met. You probably also want to add a URL Trigger as well (even though SiteSpect doesn't require it), so that you don't ask SiteSpect to check every URL for the specified Parameter Name.
For example, to match the product detail pages for a list of SKUs (2435, 4665, and 5783), use the following:
The following image shows the above example that uses both a URL and a Parameter Trigger. Notice the word AND between them on the page. This means that both conditions must be true in order for this set of Triggers to match.
To match when a Parameter is optional, prefix the Parameter Name with a question-mark (?); the match succeeds if either the variable is not in the request at all or it is in the request and the Parameter Value also matches.
To match when the cart page (/cart.asp) is viewed but not when it is updated use the following:
In addition to the Regex option shown in the figure above, Parameter Triggers allow the following matching options:
- Does not contain
- Starts with
- Does not start with
- Ends with
- Does not end with
- Does not match exactly
- Does not match regex


Determining NAS Storage Requirements Using Mobotix Storage Requirements Planner
When designing a video surveillance system, one of the the most important steps is determining the storage device capacity. When deploying a multiple camera system, using a network attached storage (NAS) device is a viable option as it will give you a central video storage location and protection against hardware failure through the use of multiple hard drives in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configuration. A critical step in selecting the right NAS device for your application is determining the amount of storage space required.
Mobotix has simplified this calculation process with the use of their Storage Requirements Planner. The Storage Planer will guide you though all of the necessary parameters of each type of camera to determine the storage requirements. Below is an example calculation for twenty D24 cameras to record on events in a high motion rate area with 14 hours of illumination per day.
As shown above the Storage Requirements Planer allows the user to select the model of Mobotix camera, the image complexity, how much motion is expected in the viewing area, as well as how the camera will be configured for resolution and video codec.
Next, the planer goes through various recording parameters such as whether the application requires continuous or event based recording. You will also select how many frames per second you wish to capture and how many events per day you anticipate. Lastly, enter how long you want recorded events to be stored on the NAS. In this example we chose to keep the recordings for 30 days.
The result of this example estimates 57.56GB of disk space is required, per camera, for the parameters shown. Therefore, the twenty camera system will require approximately 1,151.2GB (57.56GB x 20) of storage space. Assuming a RAID 5 storage configuration, the system will require three 750GB hard drives. Three 750GB drives in a RAID 5 configuration will provide approximately 1,400GB ((750GB X 3) X.62) of total usable storage space.
Now that you know the total storage requirements for the system, you can select the NAS that suits your application.

Topic: Laser communication with Arduino (Read 1 time) previous topic - next topic
Some time ago, I constructed a small unidirectional communication system using a laser. I connected an Arduino to a laser, and other Arduino to a LDR sensor. The laser sends pulses of light, the other Arduino receives. The Arduino that emits, is connected to a netbook, and receiving Arduino is connected to a desktop computer. In the video you can see when I send the string "hola laser" (hello laser) from the netbook to the desktop.
Greetings! Sorry for the language of the video!

If pixels are missing from your photos, follow the advice below.
If this is the case, the first thing you should do is try and clean your camera.
It's important to remember the following thing when cleaning your Nintendo DS:
1. Do not use any type of solvent to clean it.
2. Do not pour water directly onto your system.
3. Never place your system in liquid of any kind.
1. Slightly dampen the corner of a cloth then lightly rub the lens of your camera to shift any stubborn dirt.
2. Using a dry corner of the same cloth, wipe away any other stains from the lens.
3. Wrap some tape around your fingers so that the sticky side is facing outwards. Then dab at the lens and repeat steps 1 & 2.
If you've cleaned your lens using the steps above and your photos are still missing pixels, it's likely there's a problem with your Nintendo DS.
You can book your Nintendo DS in for inspection by the Nintendo Customer Support Team.

LANCASTER, PA – Armstrong Ceilings has created an interactive Environmental Impact Calculator on its Web site to demonstrate the difference that recycling old ceiling tiles can make.
By simply entering the number of square feet of ceilings to be recycled, visitors are able to view the environmental impact, including the pounds of waste diverted from landfills, tons of virgin raw materials saved, kilowatt hours of energy saved, gallons of potable water saved, and kilograms of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gases avoided.
The Calculator can also display the impact in terms of everyday analogies, such as the number of tires diverted from landfills, pounds of carry-on luggage not carried on, months of electricity needed to power a home, loads of laundry not washed, and miles not driven.
An Alternative to Landfill Disposal
Armstrong introduced the industry's first ceiling recycling program in 1999. Since that time, the company, working in conjunction with its customers, has recycled more than 80,000,000 square feet of discarded ceiling tiles. This represents more than 11,000 dumpsters full of construction waste that would have normally been taken to landfills.
The closed-loop program enables building owners to ship ceilings from renovation projects to an Armstrong ceiling plant as an alternative to landfill disposal. As part of the program, the company even pays freight costs for shipping the old ceilings, which it uses as raw materials in the manufacture of new ceilings.
To access the Environmental Impact Calculator, visit _URL_

Resources are new types of materials introduced in Dead Space 3 to replace traditional credits, as the Store system is not present in the game. They drop randomly from Necromorphs, as well as appearing in storage rooms and crates. Resources are generally used to craft various items and essentials, but they are also used to upgrade the user's RIG if they have the necessary resources.
- Scrap Metal - The most common resource. It's used in nearly everything, from creating weapon parts and ammunition to forging new circuits and improvement of armor. Resource Scavenging yields Scrap Metal at a much higher amount than other materials.
- Semiconductors - A semi-common resource used extensively in Armor upgrades and the creation of some weapon parts.
- Transducers - A somewhat rare resource used extensively in Stasis Module upgrades and the creation of Stasis Packs. Transducers are generally found in wall containers in much greater amounts and availability than that of natural drops or in boxes.
- Tungsten - The rarest resource, used in the creation of advanced weapon parts, circuits and Tungsten Torque Bars, which can be used to unlock certain storage rooms. Depending on the type of weapon frame being used, Tungsten must be spent to unlock additional circuit slots at 20, 40 and 60 counts, unless using an Elite (or better) frame, which will have all slots already unlocked.
- Somatic Gel - Somatic Gel is only used in the creation of Med Packs and for RIG hit point upgrades. At higher difficulties or on Pure Survival mode, Somatic Gel becomes vastly more scarce compared to other modes, unlike other resources.
Ration Seals are special items not found anywhere in the world and must be found by Scavenger Bots. Instead of being used to make things, like the resources above, these Seals can be traded for Resource Packs at any Bench. The prices of resource packs are 10, 30, or 60 seals. The 10 Ration Seals pack contains a decent amount of resources, but unlike the 30 and 60 Ration Seals packs, no Mk. V weapon parts are given. For 30 Ration Seals you can get a Mk. V weapon part, with a 50% chance of a 2nd one, and a nice quantity of resources. A 60 Ration Seal pack has 2 Mk. V weapon parts, with a 50% chance of getting a third, and has more resources than the 30 Ration Seal pack.
Resources can also be gathered by deploying Scavenger Bots. Depending on whether or not you deploy the bot at a hotspot, it will bring many or little resources.
Resource-rich sites most appropriate for scavenger bot deployment are often marked by a weird pulsating sound, whether in space or on the ground. Areas that does not contain resource (i.e shown as a red circle) can still be searched with a bot, however will yield little to none resources at all.
Upon completing Pure Survival mode, Mega Resources deposits becomes available at random locations, and will yield much more resources per turn compared to normal sites.


As a first-time traveler to Cuba, you probably have a lot of questions about the Cuban currency: What's the deal with Cuba's two currencies? Which Cuban money should you use? Can you pay with a credit card or debit card? Does Cuba still impose a 10% tax on US dollars? Do they even have ATMs in Cuba? In this article, we answer these questions and more.
Right off the bat, we can tell you that the Cuban currency system is super complicated to deal with as a traveler. But don't panic, we will cover absolutely everything you need to know about using money in Cuba.
BIG UPDATE: This article has been updated to reflect the changes part of the reform of the Cuban monetary system in January 2021, which eliminated the CUC. Please, ignore the comments posted before 2021 because a lot has changed!
For practical advice on saving money in Cuba, read our ultimate list of travel tips for Cuba. If you are a US citizen visiting Cuba, check out the complete guide on how to travel to Cuba from the US.
1. What is the Currency in Cuba?
The first thing you should know about the Cuban monetary system is that Cuba used two official currencies until December 31st, 2020: the CUP (Cuban Peso) and the CUC (Cuban Convertible Peso). However, it all changed in January 2021, when Cuba eliminated the CUC and left the CUP as the only official Cuban currency. Therefore, as a traveler, you will use the CUP.
The (Eliminated) Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC)
The Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC) was one of Cuba's two official currencies and the one most frequently used by visitors. However, contrary to what many outdated articles say on the Internet, you can no longer use the CUC in Cuba.
This is because Cuba eliminated the dual currency system on January 1st, 2021 and the Cuban Peso (CUP) became the only official currency in Cuba. If you travel to Cuba before mid 2021, you may still see some CUCs in circulation because Cuban residents have until July 2021 to exchange their remaining CUCs into CUPs.
The Cuban Peso (CUP)
The CUP (also locally known as "moneda nacional" or MN) is the primary Cuban currency. It is used by both residents and visitors alike.
Stick with us because we will talk a lot about the Cuban Peso. But first, let's point out the physical difference between the CUC and CUP.
The tangible difference between the CUC and CUP
You've never been there. Never used Cuban money. So, how are you supposed to know the difference between the CUC and the CUP and avoid getting scammed?
Cuban currency - CUC and CUP
Here is the secret: the CUP bills have faces. If you expect to receive CUP in a transaction and don't see a face on the bill, you will be getting CUC instead! The CUC bill also says "pesos convertibles" right at the center.
2. What Cuban Currency to Use as a Visitor?
For most of your expenditures on the island, you must use CUP. All resorts, hotels, airports, restaurants, and tourist attractions will accept CUP.
You should always have the lower denomination CUP bills at hand to cover small expenses such as street food, bus fare, flea market finds.
With that said, if you are traveling with USD, we suggest you take some USDs to Cuba with you. This is because the USD is the currency king at private facilities, such as "hostales" (private rooms) and "paladares" (private restaurants). Also, while you can tip in CUP, hotel and restaurant attendants will welcome your USDs for tipping in Cuba
3. Can You Use the US Dollar in Cuba?
Officially, you can use US dollars, Canadian dollars, and Euros ONLY at airports in Cuba. In fact, although the CUP is also accepted at shops and restaurants in Cuban airports, we encourage you to use your home currency (more on that below).
Now, although you won't be able to pay in USD for products and services at state facilities, the truth is that private businesses in Cuba are eager to take your hard-fought US dollars. This is because of the existence of "dollar stores", also known as "tiendas MLC". The dollar stores are incredibly well-stocked shops where Cuban residents can buy food and hygiene products, home appliances, and spare parts for cars. These stores only accept US dollars! (Keep in mind that only Cuban residents can buy from these dollar stores.)
The CUP stores pale in comparison. Actually, the scarcity of products at shops that sell in Cuban Pesos is extreme. This is the reason why the USD has significantly become more attractive to Cuban residents.
That's also why you may notice street vendors roaming around the CADECA offices and offering to exchange your US dollars for CUPs. However, to avoid the risk of currency scams, we still recommend that you exchange your USDs at a bank, hotel, airport, or CADECA office.
If you are staying at a hostal and trust your host, it's not a bad idea to exchange some US dollars with your host… or better yet: pay them in USD!
4. Where to Exchange Cuban Currency?
Travelers can exchange Cuban currency at banks, hotels, and government currency exchange houses (CADECA). CADECA offices are located in airports, hotels, resorts, and shopping centers. CADECA offices are the safest and most reliable places to exchange currency.
Please, be aware that it is very unlikely that you will get Cuban currency in advance. If you manage to do it, keep in mind that you are allowed to import up to 2,000 CUP, according to a recent resolution from the Aduana General de la República de Cuba (customs).
5. The Cuban Currency Exchange Rate
The exchange rate depends on whether you want to buy or sell CUP and on the foreign currency you are using for the operation. The value of international currencies against the Cuban Peso is determined by the international exchange rate.
At each CADECA office, you will notice a TV screen displaying the daily exchange rates, like this:
CADECA CUP Exchange Rates
The table above shows the current CUP exchange rate, according to the official CADECA's website. The column Compra/Buy indicates the exchange rate at which CADECA buys the currency, while the Venta/Sell column shows the exchange rate at which they sell the currency.
Whatever currency you want to sell to CADECA, you will need to multiply the amount of money you want to exchange by the exchange rate listed on the Compra/Buy column.
For example, if you want to exchange 100 CAD to CUP, here is the math: 100*18.3451 ≈ 1,835.5. Yeah, that's right, you will get around 18.35 CUP for 1 CAD… exactly how it says in the table.
You should also know that the Cuban currency exchange rate may be slightly more expensive at CADECA offices located in hotels, ports, and airports. The exchange rates are also updated twice a week. Make sure to always check the current exchange rate at the official CADECA's website.
The US dollar exchange rate to Cuban currency: the (no-longer) special case
From 2004 to July 16th, 2020, Cuba imposed a 10% tax on US dollars. It meant that converting American money into Cuba money incurred a 10% fee on top of the current exchange rate. However, despite what you might have read out there, this is no longer true. As of July 16th, 2020, if you want to exchange US dollars into CUP, you will NOT have to pay for the additional 10% tax.
A word of caution: be aware of the currency scams
Aside from official currency exchanges, there are a few unofficial ways as well.
Most often, you can stumble upon these "opportunities" just outside of currency exchange offices and local shops. Often, people willing to make unofficial exchanges will pitch you on attractive offers: instead of the official rate of about 23 CUP for 1 USD, they're willing to give you 30 CUP or even more. That's because they can resell it later for up to 60 CUP!
However, keep in mind that currency scams are not uncommon in Cuba, and tourists are typically the victims. The currency scam can go one of two ways: 1) you receive forged currency in exchange for your (legitimate) money; or 2) you get change in CUC, which was eliminated, instead of CUP.
You could lose a lot of money this way!
Like we said before, if you trust your host, you can ask him/her to exchange your US dollars at CADECA's rates. You can also pay for your hostal or meals at private restaurants with USD. In fact, they welcome it if you do it.
Finally, be aware that pickpocketing is common in large cities like Havana. Thus, a travel money belt may be handy to protect your money and small valuables while walking the streets of Cuba.
6. What is the Best Currency to Bring to Cuba?
It all boils down to bringing the foreign currency that has the highest possible conversion rate in Cuba. In terms of conversion value, the British Pound Sterling, and the Euro are the best currencies to

Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship & Famine Museum
The Story of a proud Irish Emigrant ShipA step aboard the Jeanie Johnston is a step towards understanding the daunting experience of the millions of people who crossed the Atlantic in tall ships, seeking survival and hope in the "New World" of North America.
This ship is an accurate replica of the original Jeanie Johnston, which sailed between Tralee in Co. Kerry and North America between 1847 and 1855. During that time it carried 2,500 people on the seven week journey – and despite the hardships and risks, no lives were lost on any of its trips.
The replica gives a vivid sense of the challenges faced by emigrants as they fled from poverty and famine and were thrown together with strangers in cramped conditions, braving a 3,000 mile voyage buffeted by gales and harsh seas.
The ship is is docked at Custom House Quay in Dublin's city centre and is OPEN FOR VISITORS with guided tours being conducted daily.
A tour of the re-created Jeanie Johnston enables visitors to see what it was like on board a wooden tall ship during the Famine era. It conveys a deep sense of history and is a memorable experience for all who come on board.

Today, I came across a program known as 7stacks. It is an easy to use, freeware that lets Windows 7, Vista and XP users to have "stacks" of icons. In Windows 7 stacks appear in the taskbar and in Windows XP and Vista stacks appear in the QuickLaunch Toolbar. So what's the use of stacks? By using stacks, users can reduce icon clutter, and combine a group of related icons into a single icon. If programs like Yahoo messenger, Google talk, and msn messenger are open then they all will be grouped under one stack in the taskbar.
It also allows you to browse and access documents within a folder very quickly. Usually, when you want to edit a series of frequently used documents, you'd have to either launch the app and go to My Computer icon> My Documents folder and then pick the file you want. With 7stacks, just create a stack to that document's folder, and open that document in a couple of clicks. Pretty easy isn't it?
-In 7 and Vista, 7stacks uses Aero, making the stacks look like part of Windows itself.
-Browse subfolders within a stack, just like in OS X Snow Leopard.
-3 different styles of stacks: Normal, Grid, and Menu
-Normal displays a stack of icons vertically, with a text description next to it.
-Grid displays a "squarish" grid of icons only; useful when displaying a large number of items like document folders.
-Menu displays a cascading menu of items, with a very small icon and a name next to it. Hover over subfolders to browse inside those folders.
-In Windows 7, create a new stack by right-clicking on any stack and selecting "Create New Stack" from the JumpList entry.
-In Menu mode, 7stacks doesn't even need to be in a toolbar. You can use it right from your desktop, or any other folder.
-Pin up to 10 different stacks on the Windows 7 taskbar

Human trafficking resource for high schools
Our human trafficking resource has been created specifically for high school students in New Zealand. The resource provides an overview of human rights, human trafficking and modern day slavery. It has been designed to comply with level five curriculum requirements for social sciences in New Zealand, including the following achievement objectives:
- Understand how cultural interaction impacts on cultures and societies.
- Understand that people move between places and how this has consequences for the people and the places.
- Understand how people define and seek human rights.
The goal is to have this resource taught at all schools in New Zealand. We encourage people to learn about human trafficking, download a human trafficking resource, meet with the school principal or a dean of social sciences at a school in their community and advocate for this resource being taught in year 9 and 10 social science classes.
What to do with the high school resource on human trafficking
- Download and print the resource from our website
- Organise a meeting with the principal of head of department ("HOD") for social sciences in a school you are connected to or that is in your community
- At the meeting, give the principal/HOD the resource and tell him/her WHY it is essential that human trafficking is taught in schools
- Organise a follow-up meeting with the principal/HOD two weeks later to see whether the resource is being implemented
- Email us at _EMAIL_ and let us know how things went so we can improve it and get it more widely dispersed


Many people invest a lot of money in order to go to college with the hope that they will eventually be rewarded with higher salaries. This paper attempts to determine what aspects of college are most important in determining the future income of students. In particular, this paper studies whether GPA is an important determinant of income as well as whether some majors are better investments than others after controlling for other factors. In addition, the effect of math and verbal ability on income and how they interact with different fields of study are studied. The data comes from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth database and ordinary least-squares regressions are used. The regressions show that grades, natural ability, and major all significantly affect income.

Here's how to find out if your home is adulterated or pure.
Without shopkeepers, they have started selling adulterated goods to consumers in a bid to earn maximum money. Milk, tea, sugar, lentils, grains, turmeric, apples, flour, oil and the like are found mixed in every household useful item. That is to say, we do not get pure food even when we have enough money. Now let's see how you can test the milk to see if it is pure or not.
If milk contains detergent mix, why test it. 10 ml. Mix milk and the same amount of water, if it produces foam, understand that detergent has been mixed in it.
In the same way, to test for water contamination in milk, put milk drops on the greasy area. And if water is mixed in it, it will move without leaving any traces. Pure milk will slowly move forward and white spots will remain.Thus, only synthetic milk tastes bad, and if we rub it in the palm of our hand, it starts to lather like soap and when heated, it turns yellow.
Thus milk is considered to be the healthiest drink. It is rich in vitamins, calcium, protein, niacin, phosphorus and potassium. But nowadays there are many varieties of milk mixed in the market. Which is why the healthiest drinks become the most negatively affected drinks. Chemicals also have a detrimental effect on the liver and kidneys. Here are some tips to help you know if your home milk is adulterated or pure.
Detergent in milk
If there is any suspicion of mixing detergent in the milk, pour water over the milk to verify it. If foam occurs in soapy water, understand that the detergent has been mixed.
Detergent damage
Detergent-containing milk contains a large amount of soda. Drinking such milk has a bad effect on the kidneys, liver and hormones and causes damage.
Synthetic milk
Synthetic milk has also become a big question nowadays. So take this milk between your palms and rub it a lot. Understand that milk is synthetic if it looks sticky. As well as heating it makes it a little yellow.
The damage it causes
Urea, laundry soap, sto starch and formaldehyde are mixed to make synthetic milk. Drinking such milk causes food poisoning. Vomiting or diarrhea may occur. As well as the kidneys and liver are also damaged.
Mixing of starch in milk
Put a few drops of iodine tincture or iodine solution in the milk to see if the starch is mixed in the milk. If the milk turns blue, understand that the milk is adulterated.
The damage it causes
Obtaining starch increases the number of elements in milk such as hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, nitrate fertilizers and neutralizers. In addition to the intestines, kidneys and liver, many other organs are also affected.
Mixing water in milk
Pour a few drops of milk on a piece of plastic or something else. Now tease it a little. If the drops of milk flow past the white line, then understand that the milk is pure. If the drops flow towards the slope, then it is not true.
The damage it causes
Milk becomes very thin due to mixing of water. So that its advantage does not remain the same as before.
More dangerous for children and the elderly
When the livers of children and the elderly are very sensitive, adulterated milk is very harmful to them. It also affects their immune system, making them vulnerable to many diseases.
અહીંથી વાંચો ગુજરાતી રિપોર્ટ
Why be confused?
The price of milk is based on the fat in it, so detergents, urea, ammonia, nitrate fertilizers, starch, sugar, glucose and salt are added to thicken the milk and increase the fat. Mixing all this makes it a little sour which is also mixed with a neutralizer to prevent it. So mixing hydrogen peroxide and formalin does not spoil the milk for several days.

Brazilian name: arapaçu-de-bico-torto
|São Paulo state, Brazil
The Black-billed Scythebill is distributed in south-east Brazil and into adjacent areas of Paraguay and Argentina. It is found in Atlantic Rain Forest and secondary woodland, often associated with stands of bamboo.
It has a very long, decurved black bill the colour of which distinguishes it from the other two scythebills found in Brazil; Red-billed Scythebill Campylorhamphus trochilirostris and Curve-billed Scythebill C. procurvoides. Otherwise it is olive-brown above with a black head and nape with white streaks. The wings and tail are chestnut-rufous and the throat is whitish.
|It forages on trunks, as seen in these photos, and on
bamboo and bromeliads where its bill must help it catch its insect
There are recordings and a distribution map on xeno-canto.

A hearty hold indicates not only sturdy hand muscles, but also strong wrists and arms. In 1985, men ages 20-24 had an average right-handed grip of 121 pounds and left-handed grip of 105 pounds. Today, men that age had grips of only 101 and 99 pounds, the study found. Men 25-29 posted losses of 26 and 19 pounds.
How much force does it take to rip an arm off?
I am going to say yes. And the answer is 154,978 newtons. So how much force does it take to rip a human arm off? The yeild strength of muscle (the closes approximation I can find with a quick google) is about 1-4 MPa or MN/m2. Assuming an average arm has a diameter of 10 cm, for a cross-sectional area of about 80 cm2.

I had a question about the specifics of finding a raw material deposit when prospecting squares with no already-known deposits. Are the locations of deposits pre-determined when the planet was created (or at some other specific time), or is a new deposit created when a scan is performed based on the probability given in the rules?
For example, lets say that from the equation given in the mining rules, I have a 20% chance of finding a deposit on a given scan of a square with no current known deposit. I then prospect that square. Which of the following scenarios is then true:
1. The database is checked to see if a deposit is there (one yet to be found). If a true comes back, there is then a 20% chance of finding it. If a false comes back, there is a 0% chance of finding it.
2. No such database exists. There is a 20% chance that a deposit is found, and if successful a new deposit appears.
If the latter is true, it seems that I could find a deposit on any square with a non-zero terrain probability if I just scan for long enough. (In the above example, I would have a 96% probability of finding something in the first 15 scans.)
In the rules it says "only 1 deposit can be found on a square at any given time," which makes me think that (2) is correct.
Sorry if this is a long question, but I wanted to be clear.
Screwed by Administrators who run the game with secret rules.
I was unaware of a percentage chance of locating. I believed the terrain with a deposit is given a certain number. If the number you have based on number of scanners and you're comp ops skill is higher then you find the deposit, if not you don't and won't until you make that number higher then the terrains.


HTML in Visual Studio Code
As you type in HTML, we offer suggestions via HTML IntelliSense. In the image below, you can see a suggested HTML element closure as well as a context specific list of suggested elements.
HTML IntelliSense
We also offer up suggestions for elements, tags, some values (as defined in HTML5), Ionic and AngularJS tags. Document symbols are also available for HTML, allowing you to quickly navigate to DOM nodes by id and class name.
You can also work with embedded CSS and JavaScript. However, note that script and style includes from other files are not followed, the language support only looks at the content of the HTML file.
You can trigger suggestions at any time by pressing ⌃Space (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Space).
You can also control which built-in code completion providers are active. Override these in your user or workspace settings if you prefer not to see the corresponding suggestions.
// Configures if the built-in HTML language suggests Angular V1 tags and properties.
"html.suggest.angular1": true,
// Configures if the built-in HTML language suggests Ionic tags, properties and values.
"html.suggest.ionic": true,
// Configures if the built-in HTML language suggests HTML5 tags, properties and values.
"html.suggest.html5": true
Close tags
Tag elements are automatically closed when > of the opening tag is typed.
HTML Close1
The matching closing tag is inserted when / of the closing tag is entered.
HTML Close2
You can turn off autoclosing tags with the following setting:
"html.autoClosingTags": false
Auto update tags
When modifying a tag, the linked editing feature automatically updates the matching closing tag. The feature is optional and can be enabled by setting:
"editor.linkedEditing": true
Color picker
The VS Code color picker UI is now available in HTML style sections.
color picker in HTML
It supports configuration of hue, saturation and opacity for the color that is picked up from the editor. It also provides the ability to trigger between different color modes by clicking on the color string at the top of the picker. The picker appears on a hover when you are over a color definition.
Move the mouse over HTML tags or embedded styles and JavaScript to get more information on the symbol under the cursor.
HTML Hover
The HTML language support performs validation on all embedded JavaScript and CSS.
You can turn that validation off with the following settings:
// Configures if the built-in HTML language support validates embedded scripts.
"html.validate.scripts": true,
// Configures if the built-in HTML language support validates embedded styles.
"html.validate.styles": true
You can fold regions of source code using the folding icons on the gutter between line numbers and line start. Folding regions are available for all HTML elements for multiline comments in the source code.
Additionally you can use the following region markers to define a folding region: and
If you prefer to switch to indentation based folding for HTML use:
"[html]": {
 "editor.foldingStrategy": "indentation"
To improve the formatting of your HTML source code, you can use the Format Document command ⇧⌥F (Windows Shift+Alt+F, Linux Ctrl+Shift+I) to format the entire file or Format Selection ⌘K ⌘F (Windows, Linux Ctrl+K Ctrl+F) to just format the selected text.
The HTML formatter is based on js-beautify. The formatting options offered by that library are surfaced in the VS Code settings:
 - html.format.wrapLineLength: Maximum amount of characters per line.
 - html.format.unformatted: List of tags that shouldn't be reformatted.
 - html.format.contentUnformatted: List of tags, comma separated, where the content shouldn't be reformatted.
 - html.format.extraLiners: List of tags that should have an extra newline before them.
 - html.format.preserveNewLines: Whether existing line breaks before elements should be preserved.
 - html.format.maxPreserveNewLines: Maximum number of line breaks to be preserved in one chunk.
 - html.format.endWithNewline: End with a newline.
 - html.format.indentInnerHtml: Indent and sections.
 - html.format.wrapAttributes: Wrapping strategy for attributes:
 - auto: Wrap when the line length is exceeded
 - force: Wrap all attributes, except first
 - force-aligned: Wrap all attributes, except first, and align attributes
 - force-expand-multiline: Wrap all attributes
 - aligned-multiple: Wrap when line length is exceeded, align attributes vertically
 - preserve: Preserve wrapping of attributes
 - preserve-aligned: Preserve wrapping of attributes but align
 - html.format.wrapAttributesIndentSize: Alignment size when using force aligned and aligned multiple in html.format.wrapAttributes or null to use the default indent size.
 - html.format.templating: Honor django, erb, handlebars and php templating language tags.
 - html.format.unformattedContentDelimiter: Keep text content together between this string.
Tip: The formatter doesn't format the tags listed in the html.format.unformatted and html.format.contentUnformatted settings. Embedded JavaScript is formatted unless'script' tags are excluded.
The Marketplace has several alternative formatters to choose from. If you want to use a different formatter, define "html.format.enable": false in your settings to turn off the built-in formatter.
Emmet snippets
VS Code supports Emmet snippet expansion. Emmet abbreviations are listed along with other suggestions and snippets in the editor auto-completion list.
Emmet HTML support built-in
Tip: See the HTML section of the Emmet cheat sheet for valid abbreviations.
If you'd like to use HTML Emmet abbreviations with other languages, you can associate one of the Emmet modes (such as css, html) with other languages with the emmet.includeLanguages setting. The setting takes a language id and associates it with the language id of an Emmet supported mode.
For example, to use Emmet HTML abbreviations inside JavaScript:
 "emmet.includeLanguages": {
 "javascript": "html"
We also support User Defined Snippets.
HTML custom data
You can extend VS Code's HTML support through a declarative custom data format. By setting html.customData to a list of JSON files following the custom data format, you can enhance VS Code's understanding of new HTML tags, attributes and attribute values. VS Code will then offer language support such as completion & hover information for the provided tags, attributes and attribute values.
You can read more about using custom data in the vscode-custom-data repository.

In mathematical logic, the Law of Syllogism says that if the following two statements are true:
(1) If p, then q.
(2) If q, then r.
Then we can derive a third true statement:
(3) If p, then r.
If the following statements are true, use the Law of Syllogism to derive a new true statement.
1) If it snows today, then I will wear my gloves.
2) If I wear my gloves, my fingers will get itchy.
Let p be the statement "it snows today", let q be the statement "I wear my gloves", and let r be the statement "my fingers get itchy".
Then (1) and (2) can be written
1) If p, then q.
2) If q, then r.
So, by the Law of Syllogism, we can deduce
3) If p, then r
If it snows today, my fingers will get itchy.

A zero-ohm link or zero-ohm resistor is a wire link used to connect traces on a printed circuit board that is packaged in the same format as a resistor. This format allows it to be placed on the circuit board using same automated equipment used to place other resistors instead of requiring a separate machine to install a jumper or other wire. Zero-ohm resistors may be packaged like cylindrical resistors, or like surface-mount resistors.
The resistance is only approximately zero; only a maximum (typically 10–50 mΩ) is specified. Thus, a fractional tolerance (as a percentage of the zero-ohm ideal value) would be infinite and is not specified.
An axial through-hole zero-ohm resistor is generally marked with a single black band, the symbol for 0 in the resistor color code. Surface-mount resistors are generally marked with a single "0" or "000".

Hyperbolic plane has a beautiful triangulation by congruent hyperbolic triangles where all the vertices of the triangulation have degree 7, this is of course not possible in the euclidean plane, even more, I think it is not possible to triangulate the euclidean plane with triangles that are $C$-bilipschitz with a unit triangulation for some constant $C$, because that would imply there is a bilipschitz map from $\mathbb{H^2}$ to the euclidean $\mathbb{R^2}$ and this is not possible, is that correct?
So my question is: is it possible to triangulate the euclidean plane with any kind of euclidean triangles such that at every vertex has degree 7. I've been trying to do it by hand but always a lot of little triangles start appearing and I'm not certain if I can continue triangulating in such a way that the whole plane is covered.

Take a conformal map of the hyperbolic plane to the disc and triangulate it in a way reminiscent of an M.C. Escher painting. Map the vertices from the disc to the plane with some stupid map - the inverse of $(x,y) \to (x/\sqrt{1+x^2+y^2},y/\sqrt{1+x^2+y^2)$, say. Then draw a straight line between every pair of vertices that had a straight line drawn between them before. If none of the lines cross and none of the triangles start overlapping, you're good, but I'm not sure how to figure out whether this happens. – Will Sawin Aug 8 '12 at 18:11

Unless I am missing something: start with the image of a degree-seven triangulation of the hyperbolic plane (coming from the (2, 3, 7) triangle group -- that is the triangulation both you and _USER_ seem to be alluding to) in the Beltrami-Klein model (this will be a triangulation of the disk with Euclidean straight edges). Then lift the vertices of which are distance $r$ from the origin by some monotoically increasing convex function of $r,$ such that $f(1) < \infty, f(0) = 0$ This will move your triangulation to a straight-line triangulation of a convex "cup." Now centrally project this from the point $(0, 0, f(1)).$ The image will be a combinatorially equivalent triangulation of the plane.

_USER_: I think, the easier way to describe what you are doing is to realize (2,3,7)-triangulation of hyperbolic plane on the hyperboloid $x^2+y^2-z^2=-1, z>0$, then straighten it replacing hyperbolic geodesic segments with Euclidean ones. Now, project the result orthogonally to the xy-plane and you are done. – Misha Aug 8 '12 at 20:16
Thanks Igor and Misha for your quick and clear answers. – shurtados Aug 8 '12 at 20:42
_USER_: yes, of course you are right. What I am describing is slightly more general, but also I was conjecturing that the OP might have been less familiar with the hyperboloid model... – Igor Rivin Aug 9 '12 at 13:19
I am not sure what you are asking in your first question (what is a "unit triangulation"?) but one can prove the following:
There is no geodesic triangulation of the plane with all vertices of degree >6 and such that the following conditions holds:
b) the angles of triangles are bounded from below.
Condition b) means that each triangle is bi-Lipshitz to an equilateral triangle, so this is probably what you ask. And the reason you mention is valid.
Examples of geodesic triangulation with vertices of degree 7 are given in the previous answer, and it follows from, b) that some triangles in these examples are very thin.
Edited later. My first answer also had condition
a) all triangles are bounded.
I claimed that b) can be replaced with a).
This condition CANNOT be used to replace b). Here is an example of a geodesic trianglation of the plane with all vertices of arbitrarily high degree, and bounded triangles.
Begin with an equilateral triange inscribed in the unit circle. From each vertex draw segments from the unit circle to the concentric circle of radius 2, so that the degree of each vertex on the unit circle becomes large. Add some chords of the circle of radius 2, connecting the endpoints of these segmnts. Draw additional segments to make this a triangulation of some polygon inscribed in the circle of radius 2. All inner vertices of this triangulation have large degree.
Now repeat this construction. We obtain a sequence of larger and larger polygons $P_n$ each inscribed in a circle of radius $n$, and each polygon is triangulated so that the degrees of inner vertices is large. Continuing this indefinitely, we obtain a triangulation of the plane.

The Hamilton-Norwood scale is a way of measuring male pattern baldness. It was introduced by Dr. James Hamilton in the 1950s and later revised and updated by Dr. O'Tar Norwood in the 1970s.
There are 2 main types of balding, anterior (front) and vertex (back), as this alternate view of the Norwood scale shows a bit more clearly.
Stages on the scale are often abbreviated to nw1, nw2, nw3a etc. Another slight variation on the scale is shown below.
Baldness in women takes a different pattern, and is measured on the Ludwig Scale.
I intend to give each of my postings a rating on the Norwood scale, but remember that this is only personal opinion and sometimes I may get it wrong. The Norwood scale is a less than perfect way of measuring baldness, but it is the best and most widely recognised way we have.
An alternative look at the Norwood Scale can be found at shortandbald.net

Hi Jose,
You could do this using Python. Ex:
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = r"C:\temp\python\test.gdb"
parentLayer = 'Airports'
childLayer = 'Districts'
# Get list of foreign keys
foreignKey = [row[0] for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(childLayer, ["FCC"])]
# Convert list to tuple
primaryKey = ()
for id in foreignKey:
primaryKey += (str(id),)
# Search for primary keys that are not in foreignKey tuple and print OBJECTID
query = "NOT FCC IN {0}".format(primaryKey)
noChildIds = [row[0] for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(parentLayer, ["OBJECTID"], query)]


Grand Canal dAlsace
Grand Canal d'Alsace, English Great Alsace CanalGrand Canal d'Alsace at Breisach, Ger.Norbert Blauwaterway along the Rhine River, in eastern France, designed in 1922. The first section, at Kembs, opened in 1932, and three more pairs of locks were built between 1952 and 1959. The canal is now 50 km (30 miles) long and runs between Basel, Switz., and Breisach, Ger. It was built to improve navigation of the Rhine (hindered by shallows and a rapid current) and thus to increase traffic upstream from Strasbourg. Electricity is generated at the locks, the largest of each pair being 185 by 23 metres (600 by 75 feet).

Tissue harmonic imaging: why does it work?
Thomas JD; Rubin DN
J Am Soc Echocardiogr 1998 Aug;11(8):803-8
The recent utilization of harmonic frequencies in the imaging of both tissue and contrast
agents has dramatically improved echocardiographic image quality. In contrast
harmonics, the harmonic frequency energy is generated on reflection from the
microbubble contrast agent. In tissue harmonics, the harmonic frequency energy is
generated gradually as the ultrasonic wave propagates through the tissue. Critical to the
utility of tissue-generated harmonic frequencies is their origin beyond the chest wall and
their nonlinear relation to the fundamental frequency energy strength. These two
characteristics of tissue-generated harmonics ensure that the echoes most likely to
produce artifact are least likely to produce harmonic waves. Armed with an understanding
of how these images are produced and with data emerging as to their clinical utility, we
anticipate that harmonic imaging will become the standard for assessing regional and
global left ventricular function in technically difficult studies.

High-Intensity Ultrasound OK for Cesarean Scar Pregnancy
(HealthDay News) — High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can play a role in treating cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP), according to a small study published in the October issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Juhua Xiao, MD, from the Jiangxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Nanchang, China, and colleagues treated 16 patients with CSP with ultrasound-guided HIFU ablation. Disappearance of CSP mass, undetectable serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin, and no serious complications such as severe bleeding, uterine rupture, or hysterectomy were the criteria used to define successful treatment.
The researchers found that after 2–5 treatment sessions, the mean time for achieving undetectable serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin was 4.94 weeks, and the mean time for CSP mass disappearance was 6.69 weeks. In 1–2 days the moderate abdominal pain in three patients subsided, while nine patients experienced mild vaginal bleeding (<30mL) that resolved within 2–3 days. At follow-up, all 16 patients had recovered their normal menstruation function.
"These preliminary results suggest that ultrasound-guided HIFU ablation is a noninvasive, feasible, and effective method for the treatment of CSP," the authors write.
