Animated Alien Ship in the Sky using jQuery Spritely
Animation, CSS, jQuery, Tutorials 5 responses so far
Hundreds of light years (now don't ask me what is a light year, all I know it is same as a regular year, but with less calories!) away from the galaxy there lived a super intelligent species with big eyes & green naked (or wearing some sort of green bio-mechanical suit!) skin called extrachlorophylletron in the planet discotin, they have been found rarely in the sky of earth traveling around with their domed ship (rocket guys call it an UFO!).
Well, since the first episode we have tested the moving clouds animation using jQuery Spritely plugin 0.6 and in this sequel we are interested to have sprite or flying object in that sky. Also, earlier we used Spritely's pan() feature to animate the clouds and here we will experiment sprite animation using sprite() feature, behold! an alien ship is headed towards the earth.

Figure: Alien ship in the sky
Sprites! (Sounds like Coke & Sprite?)
Before get our hands into sprite animation, we've played video games like Mario in the Super Mario, fighters in the Street Fighters or say, in movie, like fire breathing Balrog in the "The Lord of The Rings" and there are object(s) flying or moving around the game canvas, those are generally sprites. A Sprite composed with several images of an object together, played sequentially to animate an action and you may add certain controls to them.
So in our tutorial, we will design a flying alien ship (the sprite) with spinning at left or right behavior with sequence of frames like below:
alien ship sprite figure frame
Figure: frames for spinning to left/right
At the above figure, the first row (1) contains three (3) frames (each object at the above figure represents each frame of 180×180) for the spin towards right. In each next frame of the first row, we created white dashed marks on the dark green disk-shaped body and placed/moved them towards more right side, changed the position of the three rounded landers by few pixels to give a shaky feel. And the bottom row (2) contains three (3) frames for the spin towards left.
Checkout the spin direction diagram and a tap/click in the screen attracts the ship to that point with the same spin:
alien ship spin and flight direction sprite
Figure: spin & flight direction diagram
Lets build the following scenarios (you must go through the first episode of this tutorial to understand the rest):
Scenario: We need a Ship in the sky with a green Alien inside (a pilot!).
Add the following CSS class for the ".alien-ship":
.alien-ship {
 background: transparent url(img/sprit-space-ship.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
 position: absolute;
 top: 150px;
 left: 65px;
 width: 180px;
 height: 180px;
 z-index: 2000;
 cursor: pointer;
You can see that, the class is of 180×180, so the following DIV with the class "alien-ship" will display single frame of the ship as background of it. Spritely shows the frames serially by changing background position of the DIV.
alien ship sprite
Figure: the Ship
Scenario: The ship needs a spin.
Lets, invoke Spritely's sprite() feature on the alien-ship DIV like below:
$(document).ready(function() {
 $('_TAG_-ship').sprite({ fps: 9, no_of_frames: 3 });
The above code will position the background frame, 9 frames per second using the given 3.
Scenario: The ship will fly within an area randomly.
Like the following code, using spRandom() method, we can define the boundary of the random movement.
 .spRandom({top: 50, bottom: 200, left: 300, right: 320});
Scenario: Fly the ship at the Tap location (cool for touch works!).
To make the mouse attract the sprite when you click/tap the screen, use this:
The active() method makes this sprite the active sprite on launch – otherwise a sprite with activeOnClick() becomes active only when you click it (or touch it using an iPhone/iPad).
The $('body').flyToTap() method watches for a click on the page at which point, after any current move is complete, the sprite moves to the clicked location. After a few second, if a random movement method has been applied (see spRandom()), it then moves away again.
Scenario: Spin the ship into both directions.
The following method displays frames from the first row (Spin right):
The following method displays frames from the second row (Spin left):
Here, state 1 and 2 are row numbers and may add another row for another movement sequence.
Scenario: Controls in hand.

The three artifact fragments
"The xel'naga have given us the keys to our future"
Artifact fragments are pieces of xel'naga relics scattered around the Koprulu sector. They have great power and technology to those who can acquire in assemble them.
In the alternate timeline where Zeratul survived the opening stages of the End War, he hunted these artifacts across the battlefields of the conflict, using them against Amon's Forces and to enhance his forces. He stored these fragments in an artifact reserve.[1]
Game Effect[edit | edit source]
Artifact fragments serve as the central mechanic for Zeratul in Co-op Missions. They give his units a level of weapons, armor and shield upgrades, unlock abilities for his units, and grant another top bar ability.
Artifacts spawn at a set rate, with two or three (depending on Zeratul's level) on the battlefield, though invisible. Zeratul can use prophetic vision to give him the location where the artifact is. When Zeratul is nearby and uses prophetic vision again, the artifact is revealed, and Zeratul can pick it up. After a set number of minutes, a circle will appear on the minimap around the area of the artifact, growing smaller as the game progresses.[1]

The Water Diviner (4/10)
Now how best to describe this directorial debut of Russell Crowe… A pretentious hotchpotch or a melodramatic mishmash?
Connor (Crowe) is the water diviner, an Australian farmer with the gift to find things deep under the soil. At his farm, he uses this rare skill to find water in drought-stricken Victoria. When his three sons join the battle of Gallipoli in 1919 they die amongst thousands of other ANZAC soldiers. Guilted into action by his wife, Connor travels to Turkey to use his special skill to find the bodies of his sons so he can bring them home for a proper burial.

Working with Macromedia Fireworks MX buttons and navigation bars
Macromedia Fireworks MX is the ideal tool for creating and maintaining navigation bars. Using instance-level properties, you can define a number of characteristics for individual buttons without affecting other buttons. Instance-level properties also enable you to make modifications to a button without breaking the link between the button instance and the original button symbol. This simplifies the web design workflow by saving time and gives you great flexibility when designing navigation.
Instance-level properties eliminate the difficulty you might have experienced if you used previous versions of Fireworks to create navigation bars. Whenever you made any instance different from the others (by defining different text on each button, for example), a message box appeared that asked if you wanted to break the link between the instance and its button symbol or if you wanted to make the change to all instances. While breaking the link between instance and symbol gave you flexibility in the design of your buttons, it made maintenance difficult because no longer could you make a global change using the button symbol.
By completing this tutorial, you'll learn about instance-level and symbol-level properties for Fireworks MX buttons. You will create and modify a navigation bar, export it, and then test it in a web browser. If you have a copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, you'll also explore what happens to a Fireworks navigation bar when opened from within Dreamweaver MX.
Before you begin, preview the file that you will create.
To complete the tutorial, you'll need the following source file:
Download the Windows source file (112K)
Download the Macintosh source file (116K)
When the file decompresses, a folder named nav_buttons is created on your system.
If you have trouble downloading or decompressing the file, see TechNote 13686.
Note: If you plan to perform the optional, last procedure in this tutorial (to examine the end result in Dreamweaver), it's best to copy the nav_buttons folder into a Dreamweaver site folder on your system, to ensure that Fireworks and Dreamweaver integration will function properly. See Dreamweaver Help for information about creating a site folder.

Lighting the WayBy Bien, Alexei ; Edutopia,
Publication Date: July 2007
Article focuses on Sound Shadows, which is an experimental photography program for students with visual disabilities at Governor Morehead School for the Blind. The project was conducted from 1992 to 1997, while a book titled "Seeing Beyond Sight" chronicles the experience of 36 students ages 12 to 19. The students learned how to point and shoot, and they were also taught to use a camera to recreate dreams and to express personal vision. They used autofocus cameras, which allowed them to use sound and touch as a way to compose their images. The book features roughly 150 images from the Sound Shadows program, along with captions from the student photographers.

Automation playbooks can be triggered by several events in the life cycle of an external alert:
- When an external alert is ingested
- When an external alert validation state changes
- When an external alert hasn't been correlated for 24 hours
These triggers enable powerful workflows that allow your team to best defend your organization.
What automation actions affect the state of external alerts?
A number of automation actions can affect the state of external alerts. These include:
- Comment on Alert in Source Platform
- Update State of Alert in Source Platform
You can find the complete list of actions in your Red Canary portal.
What are examples of automation that begins with external alerts?
Notifying your team when a high-severity alert is ingested from a network security product
You can use Red Canary to fulfill basic SIEM and SOAR use cases, such as notifying your team when any of your network security products identifies what it reports as a high-severity threat:
Notifying your team when an alert could not be correlated to endpoint and process data within 24 hours
You may want to notify your team if Red Canary has been unable to correlate certain alerts with endpoint or process activity within 24 hours so you can investigate that alert yourself.
Automatically closing low / informational severity alerts for certain noisy platforms
Many alert sources generate a high volume of alerts with low severities and do not provide the ability to automatically close or adjudicate those alerts. You can use Red Canary to better operationalize those platforms:
By triggering playbooks that:
- Add a comment on the alert (in the underlying platform) that "This alert is being automatically closed because it is high volume / low value" using the Comment on Alert in Source Platform action.
- Close the alert (in the underlying platform) using the Update State of Alert in Source Platform action.

Neekerbreekers were large and loud insects related to crickets. They dwelt in the Midgewater Marshes and squeaked all through the night, calling "neek-breek, breek-neek". Sam Gamgee gave them the name 'Neekerbreekers'.[1]
[edit] Etymology
Neekerbreekers were named so because of their sound, perhaps like that of a cricket.[2]

Reflected Light
post #1 of 4
Thread Starter
This may be an elementary question but if I'm getting about 10 foot lamberts of light from my projector and I'm using a 1.8 gain screen should I get approximately 18 foot lamberts of reflected light from the screen?

Yes, your math is correct. That is exactly how a screen's "gain" works. A Unity gain screen is 1.0, i.e. it returns exactly the same FtL back that strikes it.
How does a higher gain screen "do it"? By redirectly most of the light energy back within a smaller angle of reflectance, effectively concentrating the light output for that given viewing angle range.

post #4 of 4
The correct formula for calculating screen luminance (in foot-lamberts) is: (projectors light output (in ansi lumens) x screen gain) / screen sq ft.. You can work this formula back and forward to derive you desired screen luminance. Once you know the projectors light output, you can play with screen size and gain to reach the desired number. Somewhere between 10-16 foot-lamberts would match the light output at the theater (they measure 16 with the gate open and no film, it ends up being about 12foot lamberts during the film presentation). You may want a higher number if you have poor control of ambient light. To get higher screen luminance:
-higher gain screen (trade offs can be numerous)
-smaller screen
-brighter projector

|Music of Italy|

Tarantella (Italian pronunciation: [taranˈtɛlla]) is a group of various folk dances characterized by a fast upbeat tempo, usually in 6
8 time (sometimes 18
8 or 4
4), accompanied by tambourines. It is among the most recognized forms of traditional southern Italian music. The specific dance-name varies with every region, for instance tammurriata in Campania, pizzica in the Salento region, Sonu a ballu in Calabria. Tarantella is popular in Southern Italy and Argentina.
In the Italian province of Taranto, Apulia, the bite of a locally common type of wolf spider, named "tarantula" after the region, was popularly believed to be highly poisonous and to lead to a hysterical condition known as tarantism. This became known as the Tarantella. R. Lowe Thompson proposed that the dance is a survival from a "Dianic or Dionysiac cult", driven underground. John Compton later proposed that the Roman Senate had suppressed these ancient Bacchanalian rites. In 186 BC the tarantella went underground, reappearing under the guise of emergency therapy for bite victims.
Courtship vs tarantism dances
The stately courtship tarantella danced by a couple or couples, short in duration, is graceful and elegant and features characteristic music. On the other hand, the supposedly curative or symptomatic tarantella was danced solo by a victim of a Lycosa tarantula spider bite (not to be confused with what is commonly known as a tarantula today); it was agitated in character, lasted for hours or even up to days, and featured characteristic music. However, other forms of the dance were and still are couple dances (not necessarily a couple of different sexes) usually either mimicking courtship or a sword fight. The confusion appears to arrive from the fact that the spiders, the condition, its sufferers ('tarantolati'), and the dances all have similar names to the city of Taranto.
The dance originated in the Apulia region, and spread throughout the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The Neapolitan tarantella is a courtship dance performed by couples whose "rhythms, melodies, gestures, and accompanying songs are quite distinct" featuring faster more cheerful music. Its origins may further lie in "a fifteenth-century fusion between the Spanish Fandango and the Moresque 'ballo di sfessartia'." The "magico-religious" tarantella is a solo dance performed supposedly to cure through perspiration the delirium and contortions attributed to the bite of a spider at harvest (summer) time. The dance was later applied as a supposed cure for the behavior of neurotic women ('Carnevaletto delle donne').
The tarantella is a dance in which the dancer and the drum player constantly try to upstage each other by playing faster or dancing longer than the other, subsequently tiring one person out first.
Tarantism, as a ritual, has roots in the ancient Greek myths. Reportedly, victims who had collapsed or were convulsing would begin to dance with appropriate music and be revived as if a tarantula had bitten them. The music used to treat dancing mania appears to be similar to that used in the case of tarantism though little is known about either. Justus Hecker (1795–1850), describes in his work Epidemics of the Middle Ages:
A convulsion infuriated the human frame [...]. Entire communities of people would join hands, dance, leap, scream, and shake for hours [...]. Music appeared to be the only means of combating the strange epidemic [...] lively, shrill tunes, played on trumpets and fifes, excited the dancers; soft, calm harmonies, graduated from fast to slow, high to low, prove efficacious for the cure.
The music used against spider bites featured drums and clarinets, was matched to the pace of the victim, and is only weakly connected to its later depiction in the tarantellas of Chopin, Liszt, Rossini, and Heller.
While most serious proponents speculated as to the direct physical benefits of the dancing rather than the power of the music a mid-18th century medical textbook gets the prevailing story backwards describing that tarantulas will be compelled to dance by violin music. It was thought that the Lycosa tarantula wolf spider had lent the name "tarantula" to an unrelated family of spiders, having been the species associated with Taranto, but since L. tarantula is not inherently deadly, the highly venomous Mediterranean black widow, Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, may have been the species originally associated with Taranto's manual grain harvest.
The Balanchine ballet Tarantella is set to the Grande Tarantelle for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 67 (ca. 1866) by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, reconstructed and orchestrated by Hershy Kay. The profusion of steps and the quick changes of direction that this brief but explosive pas de deux requires typify the ways in which Balanchine expanded the traditional vocabulary of classical dance.

$ to $[0,1/2]$ modify Cantor's proof of the uniqueness of $\mathbb{Q}$ to construct an order-isomorphism $g$ between $D\cap(0,1/2)$ and $E=\bigcup_{n=1}^\infty A_{2n}$ that maps $A_n\cap(0,1/2)$ onto $A_{2n}$ for each $n$. Then define $f(x)=\sup\lbrace g(d):d\in D, d < x \rbrace $. Define $f$ on $[1/2,1]$ in a similar fashion.
Another addendum: I missed/overlooked the condition that $D=f^{-1}[D]$; my map is a bijection from $D$ to itself and that's it. The near-homeomorphisms on the square settle it nicely. In the spirit of those constructions one can get a one-dimensional example on the $\sin\frac1x$-curve: in every arc between points with coordinates $((n+\frac12)\pi)^{-1}$ and $((n+\frac32)\pi)^{-1}$ shrink the interval of points with $y$-coordinates between $-1/2$ and $1/2$ to the interval $[-1/n,1/n]$, everything in a bijective way. Then on the limit segment $\lbrace0\rbrace\times[-1,1]$ the interval $[-1/2,1/2]$ is collapsed to a point. Here $D$ is the graph of $\sin\frac1x$ of course.

I don't understand how you can extend your function to $[0,1]$, you will need uniform continuity. – Guillaume Brunerie Oct 31 '11 at 0:00
I think your counterexample contains a bug (probably the problem is in the continuous extension). In fact I think I can prove that if X=[0,1] (or 1-dimensional) then the claim of FelipeG is true. – ccarminat Oct 31 '11 at 8:03
---I think I can prove that if X=[0,1] (or 1-dimensional) then the claim of FelipeG is true--- That's unlikely. Take $f:x\mapsto 2x^2-1$ on $[-1,1]$ and take some dense set of transcendental algebraicly independent numbers. Now, for each number take its full forward orbit and some its backward orbit (say, choosing the preimage from $[0,1]$ at each step). Clearly, all numbers you get will be different, so $f$ is one to one on the resulting dense set $D$. A similar construction should work in all but very degenerate metric spaces. – fedja Oct 31 '11 at 13:20
Fedja, if you only take some of the pre-image, then you won't have $f^{-1}(D)=D$. – Joel David Hamkins Oct 31 '11 at 13:26
Ah, right you are! I somehow missed that part of the condition entirely. Shame on me! – fedja Oct 31 '11 at 17:59

{% static %} handles more than you think
You probably agree using {% static %} is not a controversial:
Credit: Django Doctor
If you're unfamiliar: {% static %} returns the path the browser can use to request the file. At it's simplest, that would return a path that looks up the file on your local file system. That's fine for local dev but in prod we will likely use third-party libraries such as whitenoise or django-storages to improve performance of the production web server.
There are reasons other than "because S3" for why we use {% static %}
File revving
Whitenoise has a storage backend STATICFILES_STORAGE that performs file revving for cache busting. As a result the file path rendered in the template is renamed: script.js may be renamed to script-23ewd.js. The STATICFILES_STORAGE generates a hash from the file's contents and renames the file and generates a manifest file that looks like:
{'scripts.js':'scripts-23ewd.js'}
This is called revving. {% static 'script.js' %} renders'script-23ewd.js' in the template because'script.js' is looked up in the manifest, resulting in'script-23ewd.js' being resolved.
This is for cache busting: when the file content change the file name changes too, so a revved file can have cache headers set to cache forever in the CDN or browser. On the next deployment if the file contents changes so too does the file name being requested and thus the most up to date file is retrieved by the browser.
So {% static %} abstracts away cache-busting mechanisms so we can focus on templatey things in the template instead.
Websites can move house
Given enough time a website can change where it's served from:
 - From subdomain to path: abc.example.com to _URL_ and xyz.example.com to _URL_. This has happened in a project I was in for SEO reasons.
 - Merging multiple repositories into one. This happened to a few projects I was involved with to make development more efficient.
At this point it would be unclear which app's files are served from /static/. Yes a developer can find a replace all of /static/ with /abc/static/ and /abc/static/. But if {% static .. %} was used they would not need to.
So {% static %} prevents Javascript and CSS from breaking because where the website is served from changed.
Serving from S3
Django suggest not serving static files from the web server in production. One way to do that is to serve the files from S3. If STATICFILES_STORAGE serves from S3, then the static domain will likely be different from webserver domain unless some configuration in Cloudfront ensures otherwise.
So in that case using {% static 'script.js' %} ultimately renders _URL_ instead of /static/script.js.
So {% static %} handles changes in the domain the files are served from.
Do you {% static %} everywhere you should?
You can check if your codebase at django.doctor. It check missing {% static %} and other Django code smells:
If you want to avoid code smells getting into your codebase in the first place install the GitHub PR bot to reduce dev effort and improve your code.

cloth
- Place and utensils you can boil the Parsley leaves in
- Boil the parsley leaves on water
- Allow them to cool down
- Then once they are warm, take the leaves and wrap them in a piece of cloth round use it as a poultice on and around the boil
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar has acetic acid that helps kill the bacteria causing the boil, it soothes the boil, reduces pain and it also helps balance the pH levels thus preventing the bacteria from thriving. The best time to use is overnight
- Apple cider vinegar
- A Cotton ball or buds
- Use the cotton buds to soak in the vinegar
- Rub the cotton buds gently on and around the boil
- Then cover it with a bandage
- Repeat this once a day until the boil ripens
Cornmeal will help relieve you from the discomfort of boils and can also be used as a natural absorbent in helping to treat boils.
- Half Cup of boiled water
- Piece of clean cloth
- Add cornmeal to the half cup of boiled water to make it a paste
- Apply the paste around and on the boil
- Then cover with the piece of cloth
- Repeat this once daily until the boil softens and the infection drains
Best for boils on buttocks or inner thighs because it has natural antiseptic and antibacterial qualities
- Take a handful of Neem leaves wash to clean and crush them to make a paste
- Apply it on the boil and let it be for at least 30 minutes before washing off
- Repeat this once or twice a day
The boil should be kept clean, dry, and protected. As a result, the boil will heal in a few days or weeks depending on its location or size.
How to Pop a Boil
Sometimes if the boil isn't that big or there are limited risks, popping your boil is possible. Most people would like to wait for the boil to burst by itself but you can do this by yourself if the boil has ripened thus avoiding chances of getting a secondary infection.
A ripe boil has a softened lump head with yellow pus that can be seen through the skin.
- A Bandage
- A safety pin
- Clean piece of cloth
- Hydrogen Peroxide
- Antiseptic Soap
- Antibiotics soap
- Antibiotic cream
What to do;
- You need washed hands. So scrubbed them with the antiseptic soap then dry them with the fresh piece of cloth
- Place a warm part of fabric gently on the boil then leave it for about 10 minutes
- Use the candle to heat up the safety pins pointy side "this is to cleanse it." Then let the safety pin cool down. Some people like to use thorns because they are easier to get and can't cause tetanus, but it isn't advisable because some thorns can be poisonous "unless you know ones that are not" and the safety pin will be heated so it will be purified.
- Gently prick the head of the boil with the pointy cleansed side of the safety pin
- Use your finger to squeeze the boil from the sides. If it's in a position you can't do so you may need assistance from a trusted friend, and he or she must have clean hands.
- Although it's a painful process, you need to harder and harder so that you can eliminate all the pus. You will know all the discharge is out when you see only blood coming out from the boil, but it's good to feel the sides of the boil too.
- After removing pus from the boil. Clean it using hydrogen peroxide to avoid secondary infections and kill any germs in the area.
- Apply the antibiotic cream on the open boil; it will help heal and protect the boil from further infection
- After all of this cover the field with a bandage. The bandage should be changed once or twice a day while checking if the affected area is healing properly.
If it's a big boil or if the boil has a hard head that is difficult to pop you need to seek medical attention from a doctor.
Possible Complications of Boils
On infrequent occasions, boils may bring about difficulties in the human body.
- Permanent scarring after healing
- Spread of Staphylococcus to other parts of the skin
- Sepsis infection of the tissues or blood
- Boils forming in a cluster form
- Swelling and disease of the heart valve tissues
- Abscess of the spinal cord, skin, kidneys, brain or other organs
When to Seek Medical Care for Boil
- If the boil last more than three weeks
- The pain becomes severe
- If the original boil comes back
- High levels of Fever
- Other boils start appearing
- If you have swollen lymph nodes
- The boil doesn't drain
- Repeated outbreak of oil
- If the boil doesn't ripen
- If the boil is too big
Prevention Measures for Boils
- Make sure to practice good hygiene
- Use antibacterial soap and bath regularly. It will help prevent infection
- Clean minor wounds and treat them
- Wash clothes, towels and bed linen
- Regular skin exfoliation. It reduces chances of boils by unclogging sweat ducts.
- Stay hydrated and eats nutritional meals to improve your immune system


How Canada's Centennial Started
How Canada's Centennial Started
A Journey into '67
For Canada's centennial, the year long celebration actually started at midnight on December 31, 1966.
At that time Prime Minister Lester Pearson, Secretary of State Judy LaMrsh (the minister responsible for the Centennial Commission), Opposition Leader John Diefenbaker and thousands of others participated in a ceremony on Parliament Hill.
The highlight was the lighting of the gas-powered Centennial Flame.
Cities and towns across the country also held fireworks, parades, bell-ringing and lighting ceremonies. In Toronto, a torchlight parade and fireworks at Queen's Park drew a crowd of about 40,000.

This report documents the methodology, findings and conclusions of the Starting to smoke research project. The aim of the project was to explore the reasons young Indigenous people in the Northern Territory start smoking as well as the protective factors which prevent smoking. Young people aged 13-20 years of age were recruited from urban and remote communities to participate in one-on-one and group interviews.
A particular focus of the project was on the social and cultural processes that influence smoking uptake in this group. Based on the project's findings, the report makes recommendations regarding future smoking prevention initiatives. The project was carried out in the Northern Territory across two sites: one in Darwin and one in a remote community in Arnhem Land.

Feathered trees are profitable
This second-leaf Gala tree produced the equivalent of 300 bushels per acre.
Does it pay to plant a more expensive, but highly feathered tree rather than a one-year graft, bench graft, or sleeping eye tree?
Cornell University's Dr. Terence Robinson, who has studied the economics of planting different types of trees, believes that most growers are better off planting a finished tree.
While unfinished trees are half to one-third the cost of feathered trees, his analysis of the effect of tree price and its influence on profitability showed that the differences between the cost of using finished versus unfinished trees were small when trees were planted at low densities.
At low densities, the feathered trees were the most profitable. The optimum tree density for feathered trees was around 950 trees per acre, whereas the optimum density for low-cost trees was more than 2,000 trees per acre.
"In large measure, you're trading dollars at all the densities—you buy cheaper trees, you get less yield, or you buy more expensive trees and you get early yield," he said.
Moreover, in many locations, such as New York, the smaller trees do not produce fruit in the second year.
For those who have the management and knowledge to grow sleeping eyes or one-year grafts, they can work well, he said. But there is greater risk in growing bench grafts in a new planting. In a Cornell trial, they had a 98 percent survival from feathered trees, but he has heard of as low as 50 percent takes in bench-graft plantings.
"You're less likely to fail if you plant highly feathered trees," Robinson said.
He reminds eastern growers that micro-drip irrigation must be available to supply the highly feathered trees with water within two weeks of planting. "Highly feathered trees experience water stress in late May and June due to limited root systems and extensive leaf area," he stated, adding that water must be applied frequently to the newly planted trees.
Fertigation can also improve tree growth to the young trees, as they have limited nutrient uptake due to damaged root systems.
He recommends providing the young trees with 60 to 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre through the drip system over the course of about ten weeks. A liquid nitrogen product like CAN 17 works well, he said. About 60 pounds per acre per year of potassium is needed in the third year of planting.

Tom Parker of boyband The Wanted has revealed that he has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour.
The 32 year old singer from Bolton shared the sad news on Instagram, where he and his wife Kelsey explained that the tumour is inoperable, but that he is currently undergoing treatment.
What did Tom Parker say in his Instagram post?
Parker shared a photo of himself with his wife and 16 month old daughter, Aurelia Rose, alongside a caption explaining his diagnosis.
The singer wrote, "Hey guys, you know that we've both been quiet on social media for a few weeks and it's time to tell you why.
The couple announced in May that they were expecting their second baby together.
Tom told OK! Magazine that he's "still in complete shock, it's so much to take in."
Tom told the magazine that he underwent tests after he began suffering from unexplained seizures, with doctors revealing six weeks ago that he had a grade four glioblastoma.
The singer is now undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment.
What is a glioblastoma?
The Mayo Clinic explains that "glioblastoma is an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord. Glioblastoma forms from cells called astrocytes that support nerve cells."
Also known as glioblastoma multiforme, the cancer can be very difficult to treat and a cure is often not possible, but treatments may slow progression of the cancer and reduce signs and symptoms. It can cause worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting and seizures.
"For people who can't undergo surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be used as a primary treatment," adds the Mayo Clinic.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams (such as X-rays or protons) to kill cancer cells. In contrast to this, chemotherapy uses medicine to kill cancer cells.
The NHS explains, "There are many different types of chemotherapy medicine, but they all work in a similar way.
"They stop cancer cells reproducing, which prevents them from growing and spreading in the body."

I'm facing problem in adding a drawable object to a Parcel object, in order to send an object from one activity to another activity.
There are methods like writeString(String) to add strings to a Parcel object. But do not know how to add a Drawable to the Parcel object.

You cannot add a Drawable to a Parcel, as Drawable does not implement the Parcelable interface. Certain types of Drawable might implement Parcelable, but I am not aware of any.
You can put in the Parcel some identifier (e.g., drawable resource ID) and have the recipient obtain the Drawable on its own.
share|improve this answer
I think you can try wrapping the Drawable inside an object that implements Parcelable.
share|improve this answer
You can do that using Bitmap and BitmapDrawable.
Let's say you have a Drawable called drawable and a Parcel (in which the object should be written) called parcel.
To write a Drawable into a Parceable:
if ( drawable!= null ) {
 Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) ((BitmapDrawable) drawable).getBitmap();
 parcel.writeParcelable(bitmap, flags);
else {
 parcel.writeParcelable(null, flags);
To read the Drawable from the Parceable:
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) in.readParcelable(getClass().getClassLoader());
if ( bitmap!= null ) {
 drawable = new BitmapDrawable(bitmap);
else {
 drawable = null;
In particular, since the constructor BitmapDrawable (Bitmap bitmap) has been deprecated, you might want to use BitmapDrawable (Resources res, Bitmap bitmap) instead.
drawable = new BitmapDrawable(context.getResources(), bitmap);

How important is it for sales personnel to say the correct thing at the correct time to a potential customer? It is very important. Communication or dialogue is a significant part of any sales process. Good communication skills help sales people connect well with potential clients. Their lack will result in lost clients and deals. Considering this, communication skills need to be included while training sales personnel in any field. The best way to develop communication skills would be through dialogue simulations.
Unfortunately, neither sales training programs nor sales managers realize that conversation skills are very difficult to master and offer only basic training in this area which is not sufficient if the intention is to make successful sales deals. But organizations that focus on this aspect of sales training are reaping the benefits. Examples include companies such as IBM and Schlumberger which have emerged leaders in their respective industries. The best way to provide this training is through dialogue simulations.
 Dialogue simulations
Simulation training helps individuals learn by performing an action in order to achieve a certain outcome. The learning outcome from the simulation comes from experience and adults, we know, learn better through experience. Dialogue simulations are a way to develop conversation skills.
These simulations provide experiential learning for sales training. Many sales personnel are aware of the strong points of the company's products or services but fail to communicate them to the client or adapt their presentation according to the client's needs. Dialogue simulations can fill this gap by letting sales people take part in simulated conversations in different situations where they can practice what to say and how to say it.
Dialogue simulations are a way to develop conversation skills in a low risk environment. They help sales people develop the required soft skills when interacting with customers. Constant training will help them make effective conversations. One key communication skill is the ability to pay attention and listen to what the other person is saying and understand the intention and motivation behind it. People with good communication skills pay attention to what the other person is saying and then respond accordingly. Similarly, a good sales person listens attentively to what the customer wants and using his knowledge of the product, tailors his responses and suggests solutions.
The dialogue simulations used in e-learning sometimes fail to train sales people on the appropriate ways to respond. This is because such dialogue simulations are hard to create and require the creation of scenarios, characters, and dialogues for different situations.
iSpring TalkMaster
The TalkMaster enhancement in iSpring 8.3 makes creating dialogue simulations easy. TalkMaster has built in tools that help create characters and scenarios that mirror real life communication. They provide the option of adding voiceover to a character's lines in dialogue simulations, adding a realistic touch to the conversations. Dialogue characters can be made to speak as if in real life communication with the Talkmaster tool.
The tool is simple and easy to use and offers many options. You can create simulations, choose characters, and select appropriate emotions for them. There is the option to select the background for the scene and choose what you want your characters to say and add the appropriate reply choices or reply messages.
What's more, you can create a new dialogue scene based on the reply. You can type new text for your characters and change their emotions and create a branched scenario. This will help create different dialogue simulations for various situations.The scenes you create can be a dialogue between a customer and a sales person in a car showroom or customer and sales person negotiating the price of a product. The options are many. This helps sales personnel learn how to interact with customers in different situations and how best to respond to their needs.
iSpring 8.3 TalkMaster is useful for e-learning developers, trainers, and instructors as they can enhance the course with audio features. It can create a realistic training tool that has a positive impact on the training results.
If you can think of other ways in which TalkMaster can be used in sales training, do share with us.

Jeffery Lagarias, in his recent article Euler's constant: Euler's work and modern developments in the AMS Bulletin, mentions that Euler obtained $\zeta(3)={{2\pi^3 b(3/2)}\over 3}$ for some "Bernoulli function" $b(z)$ in Section 2.4 ("Zeta values") of his article.

For the Star Trek: Voyager episode of the same name, see "Dragon's Teeth".
Dragon's teeth was a phrase used in ancient Greek mythology.
In 2376, Captain Kathryn Janeway, along with the Vaadwaur Gedrin and Commander Chakotay discovered numerous Vaadwaur soldiers in stasis, from the year 1484. After seeing them, Chakotay told of the myth of dragon's teeth, which was the story of when a dragon was killed in battle, its teeth were spread throughout a battlefield. The teeth then took root and warriors sprung from them to continue fighting. (VOY: "Dragon's Teeth")

A new survey into sickness absence rates and costs highlights an upward trend in the number of sick days an employee typical takes, with many employers underestimating the cost of absenteeism, something Adrian Lewis from Activ Absence is urging employers to address.
The research from XpertHR[i] shows that the UK's median absence rate has risen slightly from 2.5% of working time in 2018, to 2.7% – translating to 6.4 days' absence per employee (up from 5.6 days the previous year). The cost of sickness absence in 2019 stood at a median of £568 per employee, but XpertHR says this is likely to be inaccurate because 42% employers said they did not know if their absence cost data was accurate or not.
Adrian Lewis says, "It's a worrying time for employers due to COVID-19 and the rise in the number of sick days people are taking will add to this. These figures may well increase this year and next too as the true impact of the pandemic is felt.
"The pandemic has put a huge strain on people and their families, both from a health perspective but also financially. People are fearful of their job security and the possibility of facing redundancy in the future. Homeworking has added to this with people feeling isolated from colleagues and the usual work environment.
"All of this can build up and cause both mental and physical illness, leading to more people taking time off sick. It's therefore vital that employers accurately track absence and manage it effectively to reduce the costs associated with absenteeism such as a loss of productivity, paying other staff overtime to do the work or having to hire temporary staff.
"An easy and accurate way for businesses to do this is by using absence management software, which will track absence, flag up patterns which can indicate issues and prompt return to work interviews. Having this data enables employers to put steps in place to better manage absence and reduce costs by understanding why people are off sick.
"By monitoring absence trends employers can have complete visibility over their workforce and will know where to target support, such as wellbeing and mental health support or changes that might be needed in the working culture to mitigate any issues people are having. This data enables companies to nip issues in the bud quickly and helps ensure a happy and productive workforce.Being informed is the best way to manage costs and ensure that absence rates don't get out of hand."

Stochastic Collocatation for Correlated Inputs (2015)
Wednesday, March 25, 2015
Stochastic Collocation (SC) has been studied and used in different disciplines for Uncertainty Quantification (UQ). The method consists of computing a set of appropriate points, called collocation points, and then using Lagrange interpolation to construct the probability density function (pdf) of the quantity of interest (QoI). The collocation points are usually chosen as Gauss quadrature points, i.e., the roots of orthogonal polynomials with respect to the pdf of the uncertain inputs. If the mathematical model has more than one stochastic parameter, the multidimensional set of points is usually build using the tensor product of the roots of the onedimensional orthogonal polynomials. As a result of that, for multidimensional problems the same set of collocation points is used for both correlated and uncorrelated inputs. In this work, we propose to compute an alternative set of points for correlated inputs. The set will be derived using the orthogonal polynomials for correlated inputs that we developed in a previous work. As these polynomials are not unique, we will obtain multiple sets of collocations points for each input pdf. The aim of this paper is to study the differences between those sets of points and to find and optimal one.

Primary school bans anti-bullying book after mum complains about racist language
Friday, 19th January 2018, 10:28 am
Updated Friday, 19th January 2018, 10:28 am
A primary school has banned an anti-bullying book after a mum complained about the word 'P***' being used in a chapter about racist abuse.
Jay Desai, 39, claimed she was horrified when her nine-year-old daughter was told by teachers to read 'Deadly Letter' by Mary Hoffman.
The book, published in 1990, tells the fictional story of a girl called Prity who had just arrived in England from India.
During a three-page passage in the book, the word 'P***' was used to describe Prity's abuse at the hands of school bullies.
Greswold Primary School in Solihull, West Mids., has now removed the book from the library after Mrs Desai lodged a complaint with headteacher Karen Scott.
Mrs Desai, of Solihull, said: "I don't know how it was published in the first place let alone distributed to schools.
"It makes comments about white people - all again very disgusting especially when the book is aimed at six and seven-year-olds.
"The school have been excellent in the way they dealt with the issue.
"They listened to my opinion and took on board my concerns.
"In certain situations, if being someone was being bullied, the book could be great as it shows how a child feels when they are being bullied.
"But I don't think that particular word should be used in a book, especially one aimed at children."
Mind your language
Mrs Desai even tweeted the author about her concerns but Mrs Hoffman defended her choice of language.
In a statement, she said: "I am very sorry if anyone was upset or offended by my book, which was the opposite of my intention.
"I wrote the story partly to highlight casual racism which begins even in primary schools.
"My husband is half-Indian, I have three mixed-race children, now adults, and have been fighting racism all my adult writing life."
Parents whose children attend the school, which caters for 332 pupils aged 5-11 and rated 'Good' by Ofsted last year, were split on the decision to ban the book.
One dad, whose son attends the school, said: "Having read the book with my son, I think the word 'P***' as awful as it is, is appropriate.
"The word is used in the context of bullying and kids should learn from an early age that this word is not acceptable under any circumstances.
"I'm disappointed the school has bowed to pressure and banned the book from their library. Racism should be tackled head on, not swept under the carpet."
Racism lessons
Another mum added: "I think kids of ten or 11 need to be taught racism but young kids should be protected.
"It's like swear words, you wouldn't tell a six-year-old off for swearing because they don't know what they're saying but older kids need to be told what is ok to say."
Publishers Barrington Stoke defended the book, saying the context of the word 'P***' being used was appropriate.
A spokesperson said: "As publishers, we have every confidence in Mary's ability to tackle the difficult subject of playground racism and bullying truthfully and with sensitivity.
"The use of this offensive term is challenged in different ways - and there is absolutely no sense in which the word is seen as acceptable.
"Our belief is that this story shows a proper, nuanced understanding of the issues involved in a way that we hope is appropriate for young readers."

- Place the activity gym over the baby nest and let your baby have a wonderful time studying all the toys.
- Use the gym on the changing table and nappy changes will be more fun.
- Encourage tummy time and practice crawling skills on the floor.
- Bring the gym outside on a lovely day and let your little one take part in gardening life.
Stimulation of baby's senses
The baby's senses are stimulated by the noises, the different textures and the contrasting colours incorporated into the three toys.
Width and height of the Activity Gym can easily be adjusted, an innovative feature that helps babies reach the eye catching toys and a hanging mirror.
A mirror on one leg of the arch and a soft patch on the other attract the attention of little eyes and fingers as well.
Award winning design
Because of the innovative features the Activity gym won the international Red Dot Design Award in 2016.
For the Activity gym the statement by the jury was:
"With its flexible design, the activity gym is an innovative variant of the classical centre."
The Activity Gym not only sparks the imagination of the little ones but is also a modern design piece in the home.
The classy toned-down colour of the arch makes it the perfect match for the design conscious family.
The Activity Gym is soft and safe for babies to play with, it stands firmly on its two feet and being flexible in design it is no problem to store away, move around or bring along when going places.

1. Four sides sealing bag
The four-side sealing bag is usually made by the top, two sides and bottom sealing of two (roll) materials. Compared with the bag mentioned before, it is possible to use two different plastic resin materials if they can be bonded to each other. If it is, it is made into a four-side sealing bag glued on the front. The four-side sealing bag can be made into various shapes, such as heart-shaped or oval.
2. Zipper bag
On the three-side sealing bag and the main body bag, a bag with easy opening zipper is installed.
3. Three-dimensional bag
There are many types of three-dimensional bags, mainly including the following types:
①Standing bag with bottomed boat shape.
②Folded bottom integrated three-dimensional bag.
③The oblique knife heat seals the three-dimensional bag.
④Three-dimensional bag with bottle-shaped knife mold.
⑤ The three-dimensional bag with spout is divided into three-dimensional bag with oblique mouth and three-dimensional bag with roof cover.

Use of a Scribe
Use of a Scribe
May 23, 2019
We are hiring a scribe for the doctor because it will help improve his documentation. Is there anything we need to know about how to document this?
Yes, absolutely. This situation should be clearly delineated so a third party reviewer can identify the provider who performed the service, and the record should be signed by both parties (the scribe and physician).
Remember, a scribe does not ask the patient any questions, nor does a scribe do an examination of the patient. A scribe merely records the information obtained by a provider. Bottom line is that a nurse practitioner or physician assistant generally does not act as a scribe.
Example of statements:
I, (scribe name), am serving as a scribe to document services personally performed by (physician name), based on my observation and the provider's statements to me.
I, (physician name), attest that (scribe name) is acting in a scribe capacity, has observed my performance of the services, and has documented them in accordance with my direction.

Limitations and Known Issues within MariaDB MaxScale
Limitations and Known Issues within MariaDB MaxScale
This document lists known issues and limitations in MariaDB MaxScale and its plugins. Since limitations are related to specific plugins, this document is divided into several sections.
Configuration limitations
In versions 2.1.2 and earlier, the configuration files are limited to 1024 characters per line. This limitation was increased to 16384 characters in MaxScale 2.1.3. MaxScale 2.3.0 increased this limit to _PHONE_ characters.
In versions 2.2.12 and earlier, the section names in the configuration files were limited to 49 characters. This limitation was increased to 1023 characters in MaxScale 2.2.13.
Multiple MaxScales on same server
Starting with MaxScale 2.4.0, on systems with Linux kernels 3.9 or newer due to the addition of SO_REUSEPORT support, it is possible for multiple MaxScale instances to listen on the same network port if the directories used by both instances are completely separate and there are no conflicts which can cause unexpected splitting of connections. This will only happen if users explicitly tell MaxScale to ignore the default directories and will not happen in normal use.
Security limitiations
MariaDB 10.2
The parser of MaxScale correctly parses WITH statements, but fails to collect columns, functions and tables used in the SELECT defining the WITH clause.
Consequently, the database firewall will not block WITH statements where the SELECT of the WITH clause refers to forbidden columns.
Query Classification
Follow the MXS-1350 Jira issue to track the progress on this limitation.
XA transactions are not detected as transactions by MaxScale. This means that all XA commands will be treated as unknown commands and will be treated as operations that potentially modify the database (in the case of readwritesplit, the statements are routed to the master).
MaxScale will not track the XA transaction state which means that any SELECT queries done inside an XA transaction can be routed to servers that are not part of the XA transaction.
This limitation can be avoided on the client side by disabling autocommit before any XA transactions are done. The following example shows how a simple XA transaction is done via MaxScale by disabling autocommit for the duration of the XA transaction.
SET autocommit=0;
SET autocommit=1;
Prepared Statements
For its proper functioning, MaxScale needs in general to be aware of the transaction state and autocommit mode. In order to be that, MaxScale parses statements going through it.
However, if a transaction is commited or rolled back, or the autocommit mode is changed using a prepared statement, MaxScale will miss that and its internal state will be incorrect, until the transaction state or autocommit mode is changed using an explicit statement.
For instance, after the following sequence of commands, MaxScale will still think autocommit is on:
set autocommit=1
PREPARE hide_autocommit FROM "set autocommit=0"
EXECUTE hide_autocommit
To ensure that MaxScale functions properly, do not commit or rollback a transaction or change the autocommit mode using a prepared statement.
Protocol limitations
Limitations with MySQL/MariaDB Protocol support (MariaDBClient)
 - Compression is not included in the server handshake.
 - MariaDB MaxScale does not support KILL QUERY ID type statements. If a query by a query ID is to be killed, it needs to be done directly on the backend databases.
 - The KILL commands are executed asynchronously and the results are ignored. Due to this, they will always appear to succeed even if the user is lacking the permissions.
Authenticator limitations
Limitations in the GSSAPI authenticator
Currently, MariaDB MaxScale only supports GSSAPI authentication when the backend connections use GSSAPI authentication. Client side GSSAPI authentication with a different backend authentication module is not supported.
Limitations in the MySQL authenticator (MySQLAuth)
 - MySQL old style passwords are not supported. MySQL versions 4.1 and newer use a new authentication protocol which does not support pre-4.1 style passwords.
 - When users have different passwords based on the host from which they connect MariaDB MaxScale is unable to determine which password it should use to connect to the backend database. This results in failed connections and unusable usernames in MariaDB MaxScale.
 - Only a subset of netmasks are supported for the Host-column in the mysql.user-table (and related tables). Specifically, if the Host is of the form base_ip/netmask, then the netmask must only contain the numbers 0 or 255. For example, a netmask of is fine while is not.
Filter limitations
Database Firewall limitations (dbfwfilter)
The Database Firewall filter does not support multi-statements. Using them will result in an error being sent to the client.
Tee filter limitations (tee)
The Tee filter does not support binary protocol prepared statements. The execution of a prepared statements through a service that uses the tee filter is not guaranteed to succeed on the service where the filter branches to as it does on the original service.
This possibility exists due to the fact that the binary protocol prepared statements are identified by a server-generated ID. The ID sent to the client from the main service is not guaranteed to be the same that is sent by the branch service.
Monitor limitations
A server can only be monitored by one monitor. Two or more monitors monitoring the same server is considered an error.
Limitations with Galera Cluster Monitoring (galeramon)
The default master selection is based only on MIN(wsrep_local_index). This can be influenced with the server priority mechanic described in the Galera Monitor manual.
Router limitations
Refer to individual router documentation for a list of their limitations.

What is the Centrum Nutri Coach?
The Centrum Nutri Coach is an on-line tool that will allow Filipinos to keep track of the nutrients they get from what they eat.
How is it the first of its kind? How is it specifically made for Filipinos?
The Centrum Nutri Coach is the first on-line nutrition tool in the Philippines that takes the Filipino diet into consideration. So in the menu of food choices, you will see halo-halo, inihaw na liempo, kare-kare and other Filipino favorites. It is the only nutrition assessment tool that is based on the Food Composition Table of the Food and Nutrition Table of FNRI (Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Philippines). The Centrum Nutrition Coach will show you how near / far you are from the daily recommended daily intake of each nutrient.
How does it work?
You will be asked to input factors like your age, weight and level of physical activity into the Nutri Coach website. These factors are important in gauging how much you [word missing: is this vitamins and minerals?] need.

The Sales per Square Foot KPI measures how much sales revenue you are able to generate for each foot of retail space provided. Use the following formula when calculating the sales per square foot KPI:
Total Net Sales ÷ Total Floor Area
This a popular retail sales KPI because it clearly demonstrates how effective your store layout and retail personnel are at selling product. As such, this KPI is important when redesigning or modernizing retail outlets, and will be the ultimate indicator of whether that redesign was successful or not. Many of the largest retailers will use a similar design concept for all of their stores, and will go to great lengths to ensure uniformity in each location. Therefore, the sales per square foot KPI can also be used to identify when cultural differences are impacting sales and warrant further investigation.
- Sales revenue: Income received through sales activities.
- A high and/or increasing sales per square foot for one or more locations.

A Missal for Children
A Missal for Children will help children to better understand what the holy Mass is, and will guide them through the liturgy to meditate on the mystery of the Eucharist.
Each of the prayers of the Mass is numbered. The same number precedes the explanation of the prayer on the facing page. This way, children can read the text of the Mass on the right-hand page and find its explanation on the left.
All the lovely illustrations will help them to understand the actions of the priest and the deeper meaning of the Mass. Magnificat illustrations.
A Missal for Children is the perfect companion to help your children to participate in the prayers at Mass, prepare for receiving Communion, say a prayer of thanksgiving after Communion, pray every morning and evening on their own or as a family, and prepare themselves to confess their sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
For ages 7 and up.

puts "Hello world!"
In this post we will see how to read keyboard input from console using TCL script. Some time we need to take input from user to proceed further, for example adding two numbers. Here is syntax to read :
gets channel_ID variable_Name
Here, channel_ID is id of channel. It specify from where we have to read. To read from console we need to use stdin (standard input) as channel ID.
variable_Name is name of variable where we have to store that text.
Let us check one sample example.
puts "what is your favourite colour?" gets stdin name_of_colour puts "Colour is $name_of_colour"
what is your favourite colour?
Colour is red
Here is another example to add two numbers entered by user :
puts "Enter first number for addition:" gets stdin first_number puts "Enter second number for addition:" gets stdin second_number set answer [expr $first_number + $second_number] puts "Addition of $first_number and $second_number is : $answer"
Output will be :
Enter first number for addition:
Enter second number for addition:
Addition of 33 and 11 is : 44

Purpose：This study was designed to identify the effects of carrying bag positions (None, left hand, right hand,left shoulder, right shoulder) on static balance.
Methods：Fourteen healthy adult females participated in the this study. The exclusion criteria were orthopedic or neurologic disease, predominant left side. Measurements were performed initial effects. Results were evaluated by OSI, APSI, and MLSI in the biodex stability system.
Results：There are among the three assessments (overall stability index(OSI), antero-posterior stability index (APSI), medio-lateral stability index(MLSI) significants difference for the carrying bags positions (None bag, left hand, right hand, left shoulder, right shoulder)(p<.05). The post-hoc test revealed a significant difference between none bag and both left hand and left shoulder in the OSI, APSI, MLSI (p<.05). Also, comparing the carrying positions significant difference between right hand and both left hand and left shoulder in the MLSI (p<.05).
Conclusion：The results suggest that none dominant side with carrying bag improve more imbalance than none bag and right hand of dominant with carrying bag improve more balance than non dominant side. When comparing the four carrying bag conditions, right hand was more effective than another conditions in static balance.


White certificates
What are the White Certificates?
The main public support tool for the diffusion of the energy efficiency in our country are the energy efficiency titles (EET), aka, White Certificates.
Basically, they are negotiable titles certifying the accomplishment of energy savings in the final uses of energy: a certification equals to a non-consumption of a tonne of oil equivalent (TOE).
A formula that deeply concerns companies :
The typical case, is a company asking for consultancy to an Energy Service Company as Seaside to realise internal efficiency projects.
Once completed, these projects will be presented to the related body, the GSE, a government company devoted to the promotion of the sustainable development, including energy efficiency.
Once all the requirement are verified, GSE releases the awarded EETs.
These lasts are not only simple documentation, but real certificates with economic value, variable in time, because in Italy there are some efficiency obligations for big energy and gas suppliers, that can be discharged through White Certificates acquisition linked to projects realised by third entities.
As a conclusion, the company who undergoes through efficiency intervention, not only benefits from the diminishments of consumption, but also gets economic contribution linked to the White Certificate value.
A high impact formula: according to the ENEA 2016 energy efficiency report, in the decade 2005-2015, the EET scheme produced savings up to 4.57Mtoe, revealing to be the most effective mechanism for energy efficiency.

Rank tests for clustered survival data when dependent subunits are randomized.
In clustered survival data, subunits within each cluster share similar characteristics, so that observations made from them tend to be positively correlated. In clinical trials, the correlated subunits from the same cluster are often randomized to different treatment groups. In this case, the variance formulas of the standard rank tests such as the logrank, Gehan-Wilcoxon or Prentice-Wilcoxon, proposed for independent samples, need to be adjusted for intracluster correlations both within and between treatment groups for testing equality of marginal survival distributions. In this paper we derive a general form of simple variance formulas of the rank tests when subunits from the same cluster are randomized into different treatment groups. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to investigate small sample performance of the variance formulas. We compare our non-parametric rank tests based on the adjusted variances with one from a shared frailty model, which is an optimal semi-parametric testing procedure when the intracluster correlations within and between groups are the same.

The Conquest of Happiness
Introduction by Anthony Grayling
Published February 1st 2006 by Routledge – 200 pages
Series: Routledge Classics
The Conquest of Happiness is Bertrand Russell's recipe for good living. First published in 1930, it pre-dates the current obsession with self-help by decades. Leading the reader step by step through the causes of unhappiness and the personal choices, compromises and sacrifices that (may) lead to the final, affirmative conclusion of 'The Happy Man', this is popular philosophy, or even self-help, as it should be written.
'He writes what he calls common sense, but is in fact uncommon wisdom.' - The Observer


The RefSerialize package
[Tags: bsd3, library]
Read, Show and Data.Binary do not check for pointers to the same address as a result, the data is duplicated when serialized. This is a waste of space in the filesystem and also a waste of serialization time. but the worst consequence is that, when the serialized data is read, it allocates multiple copies for the same object referenced multiple times. Because multiple referenced data is very typical in a pure language such is Haskell, this means that the resulting data loose the beatiful economy of space and processing time that referential transparency permits. This package allows the serialization and deserialization of large data structures without duplication of data, with the result of optimized performance and memory usage. It is also useful for debugging purposes. There are automatic derived instances for instances of Read/Show. Lists of non-chars have its own instance. The deserializer contains a subset of Parsec.Token for defining deserializing parsers. Every instance of Show/Read is also a instance of Data.RefSerialize the serialized string has the form expr( var1,...varn) where var1=value1,..valn=valueN so that the string can ve EVALuated. So the entire deserialization can be substituted by eval. See demo.hs and tutorial. I presumably will add a entry in To develop: -derived instances for Data.Binary -serialization to/from ByteStings

text: Precipitation kinetics were investigated in select Fe, Ni, and Al alloys using a CALPHAD based precipitation model based on Langer-Schwartz theory. Thermodynamic and kinetic data are taken from commercially available CALPHAD software, but reliable interfacial energy data for precipitates needed for the calculations is often lacking. While models exist to approximate these interfacial energies, this study has focused on deriving more reliable estimates by comparison with experimental data. By performing simulations with thermal histories, nucleation sites, and precipitate morphologies that closely replicate experimental data found in literature, the interfacial energies were optimized until volume fraction and mean radius values closely matched the published data. Using this technique, interfacial energy values have been determined for carbides in Grade 22 low alloy steels, delta phase in Ni 625 and 718, SPhase in Al 2024, and Q' and β'' in Al 6111, and can be used for future predictive precipitation simulations.

Evolution Characteristics of the Kurtosis Parameter on a Distorted Cat's Eye Effect Reflected Beam
Y-Z. Zhao, H-Y. Sun and Y-H. Zheng
Based on the definition of second order moment, fourth order moment and the approximate three-dimensional analytical formula for oblique laser beam passing through a cat's eye optical lens with centre shelter, the analytical expression of kurtosis parameter of the cat's eye effect reflected light under far field condition has been deduced. Evolution characteristics of kurtosis parameter affected by the incident angle, back backhaul transmission distance, focal shift and centre shelter ratio are performed by numerical calculation, and analysed physically. The results show that the reflected beam at the return place changes from a leptokurtic beam into a mesokurtic beam along with the increase of the incident angle. Only when the focal shift and incident angle are all very small, the kurtosis parameter at the return place has a large value and the reflected beam has a leptokurtic profile. These evolution characteristics of kurtosis parameter can be used to classify the distorted reflected beam.
Keywords: Laser optics, cat's eye effect, kurtosis parameter, evolution characteristics, reflected beam, incident angle, focal shift

I'm trying to use Kryo to read/write objects to disk: _URL_
Couple questions:
 - How do I determine the size of my byte buffer? If I make it too small it crashes, too large it eats up lots of memory and the files are huge. Follow up, shouldn't kyro already know how big the object is since it's the one serializing it?
 - What is a good way to convert them from a ByteBuffer to byte array and back?
 - Anyone have a effective and quick way of reading/writing objects to file using Kyro? My yucky xml is about 100 times faster (which includes parsing, not just i/o) which doesn't make sense according to the benchmarks. I tried using ByteBuffer writing to FileChannel.

You actually don't need to muck with ByteBuffer at all, you can use the com.esotericsoftware.kryo.ObjectBuffer
Pretend you have a class MyObject that you want to serialize;
MyObject o = new MyObject();
Kryo kryo = new Kryo();
ObjectBuffer ob = new ObjectBuffer(kryo);
byte[] myByteArray = ob.writeObject(o);
share|improve this answer
Do you mean that after obtaining byte array I can dump it to file? – Bostone Feb 21 '12 at 1:30
And if so what is a simplest way to deserialize back to object? – Bostone Feb 21 '12 at 1:41

Wiley Park Flower Delivery
Send beautiful flowers and gifts to Wiley Park. Whether for birthdays, mothers day, valentines day or any other occasion, we can deliver to Wiley Park. Check out our gorgeous creations today.
Wiley Park Name Origin
Wiley Park is named after John Wiley, who bequeathed land for the park to the former Canterbury Council when he died in 1895.
Wiley Park Settlement History
Settlement of the area dates from 1832 when the first land grant was made, with development primarily from the 1940s and 1950s. The park bequeathed by John Wiley to the Council in 1895 was progressively developed through the 1920s and 1930s, and has more recently been redeveloped as a passive recreation area with a pond and amphitheatre. The population fluctuated slightly during the 1990s, and then increased slightly between 2001 and 2011 as new dwellings were added to the area.
Wiley Park Features
Major features of the area include Wiley Park, Defoe Street Reserve, Johnsen Square, the Wiley Park railway station and several schools.
