The basic difference between fixed investment and inventory investment is the type of goods on which investment is to be made. Firstly, Fixed investment refers to expenditure on investment in capital goods. On the contrast, inventory investment refers to the expenditure incurred on investment in stock.
To know the difference between these two, we must clear the meaning of these terms:
The Content covered in this article:
Meaning of Fixed Investment:-
It refers to the increase in the stock of fixed assets of the producers during a year. In other words, it can be described as the expenditure incurred by producers on purchase of long term assets or capital goods during the year. For example, Plant and machinery, Furniture and Building etc.
It can be calculated as:
Fixed investment during the year = Stock of fixed assets at the end of the year – Stock of fixed assets in beginning of the year
Let's assume, a producer has a stock of 20 machines at the beginning of year i.e. 1st Jan 2020. On 31st December 2020, he has a stock of 35 machines. Thus, the fixed assets stock of producer is increased by 15 machines during the year.
Therefore, fixed investment during the year 2020 = 15 machines.
Due to this, fixed investment is also known as Fixed capital formation. Thus, It means the increase in capital in terms of fixed assets which are used in the process of production for several years.
Meaning of Inventory Investment:-
It refers to the change in the stock of finished, semi-finished and raw material during a year. Here, the finished goods refer to the final goods ready to sale or unsold. And, Semi-finished goods include goods which are in the process of production. Thus, The stock of these goods is known as Inventory stock. It keeps on varying with the passage of time. Hence, the change inventory stock during the year is known as inventory investment of producers.
It can be calculated as:
Inventory investment during the year = Inventory stock at the end of the year – Inventory stock at the beginning of the year.
Let's assume the producer has 1,25,000 units of inventory stock including finished, semi-finished goods and raw material at the beginning of year i.e. 1st Jan 2020. On 31st December 2020, he has 2,25,000 units of inventory stock with him. Thus, the inventory stock of producer is increased by 1,00,000 units.
Inventory stock during the year = 1,00,000 units.

|It refers to expenditure incurred on the purchase of raw material, semi-finished or finished goods.|
|Purpose||Here, the purpose is to continue further production.||Here, the purpose is to meet the demands of consumers in case of shortage.|
Can be known as
|It can also be known as Capital investment.||It can also be known as Working Capital investment.|
|Here, the investment can be considered as expenditure on long term assets.||And, this investment can be considered as expenditure on income yielding short term assets.|
Resale of assets
|In this type of investment, the assets are not meant to be resold at any period of time.||Here, the inventory is not meant to be resold immediately but stays in stock to raise inventory level.|
|The stock of fixed assets at the end of the year – Stock of fixed assets in beginning of the year||Inventory stock at the end of the year – Inventory stock at the beginning of the year.|
|In short, It leads to a higher rate of economic growth.||Generally, It avoids the uncertainties related to price and availability of raw material.|

Abstract: We extend the classification of irreducible finite dimensional representations of almost simple algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero to certain non-connected groups $G$ where the component group is cyclic. We also extend some of Steinberg's results on the adjoint quotient $G\rightarrow T/W$ to these non-connected groups. These results are used to describe the geometry of $\theta$-conjugacy classes of $G^o$, where $\theta$ is an automorphism of the connected group $G^o$. As an application, we show that there is a "functorial" correspondence between virtual (finite dimensional) characters of $\theta$-invariant representations of $G$ and virtual characters of an endoscopic group $H$ of $G$.

Structural transformation of gold nanorods are investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy after they have been exposed to low-energy femtosecond and nanosecond laser pulses in colloidal solution. The pulse energies were below the gold nanorod melting threshold, but allowed early stage shape transformation processes, It is found that while the as-prepared nanorods are defect-free, laser-irradiation induces point and line defects. The defects are dominated by (multiple) twins and stacking faults (planar defects), which are the precursor that drives the nanorods to convert their {110} facets into the more stable {100} and {111} facets and hence minimize their surface energy. These observations suggest that short-laser pulsed photothermal melting begins with the creation of defects inside the nanorods followed by surface reconstruction and diffusion, in contrast with the thermal melting of the rods or the bulk material, where the melting starts at the surface.

While Apple has designed your iPhone to remain within safe temperatures when charging wirelessly, excessive heat can slow down your iPhone's charging speed or, worse, degrade its battery life. If your iPhone gets too hot on a wireless or MagSafe charger, follow the steps listed in this guide to prevent it from overheating.
Why does a Wireless or MagSafe charger heat up my iPhone?
Wireless chargers are fundamentally inefficient due to their reliance on inductive charging, leading to heat generation while charging. With the push for faster wireless charging speeds, Apple introduced MagSafe in 2020. This novel wireless charging solution used magnets to align the charging coils of an iPhone and MagSafe charger for faster charging speeds.
However, faster speeds require higher currents, causing heat to build up. Apple's MagSafe charger for iPhone takes a whopping 27 watts from the wall to provide an iPhone with just 15 watts of charging power. That's 3 watts of power released as heat.
Wireless and MagSafe chargers lacking an active fan for cooling will slowly warm up over time and, in turn, heat up your iPhone. This is why the iPhone 12 and 13 Mini are limited to 12W charging through MagSafe, as their small form factor has a reduced surface area for dissipating heat into the atmosphere.
Signs that your iPhone is overheating while Charging Wirelessly
Apple defined the maximum safe temperature for an iPhone to be 45º C. When charging an iPhone with a wireless charger or MagSafe, a warning message will be displayed stating that your iPhone needs to cool down if it exceeds this temperature. Once the temperature warning message is displayed, you cannot use your iPhone until it cools down.
However, you don't need to wait for this message to know if your iPhone is overheating. Look out for the following signs to see if wireless charging is heating your iPhone too much:
- Charging on hold notification: If your iPhone stops charging, check for the Charging on Hold notification if it runs iOS 16 or later.
- Degraded performance: Your iPhone feels sluggish with slow animations, and apps take too long to load or crash.
- Reduced charging speed: Your iPhone takes too long to charge or starts losing charge, even on a MagSafe or fast wireless charger.
- The display dims or goes black.
- The mobile signal becomes weaker: When an iPhone gets hot, the cellular radio's power is turned down, resulting in a weaker cell signal.
- Wireless charger disconnects: If present, the charging indicator light on your wireless charger changes color, blinking, or turns off.
How to stop an iPhone from getting hot on a MagSafe or Wireless charger: 10 Steps to Try out
Time needed: 10 minutes
Now that you've identified why your iPhone is overheating on a wireless or MagSafe charger, you can try the following steps to fix it. The fixes laid out are pretty straightforward and can be completed in minutes. Let us know in the comments below if you still face any issues, and we'll gladly provide any assistance.
- Check to see if the MagSafe or wireless charger itself is overheating.
There are several reasons why your wireless or MagSafe charger itself can be a source of excessive heat. Faulty components and cables, misaligned charging coils, and foreign objects are some of the few factors that can cause your iPhone to get too hot. Those with a wireless charger can consider following the tips listed in this guide to prevent it from overheating. We have a separate article for MagSafe users with appropriate steps for fixing heating-related issues.
- Make sure you are on the latest version of iOS.
If you suddenly noticed issues with your iPhone getting hot on wireless or MagSafe charging, it could be an issue with the current iOS build. Apple is generally quite fast in releasing updates that fix problems with overheating, so make sure to update to the latest versions. Open or Developer Beta builds have a higher chance of charging issues due to their unfinished nature.
- Take off the case from your iPhone while charging.
Cases can add to the gap between the charging coils on your iPhone and the wireless charger. A large gap can decrease the charging speed of a wireless charger and lead to greater heat being generated on your iPhone. MagSafe users can use a MagSafe-compatible case but must remove it if the heating issue is unresolved. Remove any MagSafe accessories like the Apple Wallet too.
- Do not charge your iPhone overnight on a wireless or MagSafe charger.
Although it may be the most convenient option to place near your bedstand, charging your iPhone on a wireless or MagSafe-compatible charging pad is a bad idea if it tends to get hot. Leaving an iPhone unsupervised overnight can cause it to get into a cycle where it first charges, gets too hot, stops charging, lose charge, and finally start charging again. As discussed below, leaving it overnight in this state can severely damage your iPhone's battery.
- Check for damage on your iPhone.
A cracked back glass or bent frame can impair the ability of your iPhone to charge from a wireless charger. Remove any attached cases to check for damage or bending.
- Avoid using performance-intensive apps and games.
Running heavy applications in your iPhone on a wireless charger is not a good idea, as it can push the SoC inside, releasing excessive amounts of heat. Although MagSafe makes it possible to play games while charging wirelessly, it is not recommended, as overheating can leave you with a laggy and crash-prone gaming experience.
- Do not take long calls and download large files over the mobile network while charging wirelessly.
Performing tasks that use your iPhone's cellular radio can cause it to get warm while charging wirelessly, especially with the 5G antennas found in the latest iPhones. Charge your device beforehand or resort to wired charging if you want to go on a long call or download a large file over the mobile network.
- Charge your iPhone in a cooler environment.
Placing your wireless charger in warm environments is sufficient to heat up an iPhone charging on it. Some examples include the interior of a car in direct sunlight or your laptop's exhaust.
- Consider purchasing a new wireless or MagSafe charger
If none of the steps listed above don't resolve your iPhone's issue, consider replacing your wireless charger. If you have a spare lying around, make sure to test out your iPhone on it.
A common cause of overheating lies in the inability of the wireless charger to dispel heat effectively away from your iPhone. Investing in a wireless charger with an active cooling fan can help prevent heat from building up in your iPhone.
- Take it in for service.
If your iPhone still exhibits symptoms of overheating, then there could be an underlying issue that needs to be investigated. Take your iPhone to a nearby service center along with the wireless charger you use to get them checked out by a technician.
Will an iPhone Heating up on a Wireless Charger or MagSafe be damaged?
Maintaining an iPhone at elevated temperatures for an extended time can adversely affect components like the battery.
Exposure to excessive heat can degrade a battery in two ways: capacity fade and power fade. Capacity fade causes the battery to lose its charge capacity over time, causing your phone to run out of charge quickly. Power fade reduces the power supplied by your iPhone battery, causing it to crash or shut down intermittently.
You can check the battery health of your iPhone by going to Settings > Battery> Battery Health & Charging. The Maximum Capacity gives information on the capacity fade, while Peak Performance Capacity lets you know if excessive power fade exists.
If the Maximum capacity is below 80% or the Peak Performance Capacity section indicates that Performance Management is being applied, your battery may have been affected by getting too hot during wireless charging. We recommend replacing your iPhone's battery at this stage.
We hope this guide resolved any overheating issues while charging an iPhone on a wireless charger. If you found this guide helpful, feel free to share it. Let us know in the comments section below if you still face issues, and we will try our best to resolve them promptly.

Routing a Synchronization Clock Along a Trigger Line
Last Modified: September 15, 2017
You can route full-speed or divided synchronization clocks through trigger lines using NI-Sync. With this technique, you can export a DDS clock using a PFI line and send full-speed or divided clocks along routes that are not accessible when you use clock terminals alone.
Setting and Dividing a Synchronization Clock
 1. Place Connect Trigger Terminals on the diagram.
 2. Wire a constant or control to source terminal and destination terminal.
 3. Select Synchronization Clock (Divided 2) for source terminal. This divides the synchronization clock by the value you set in the Clock Divisor 2 property of niSync Properties and uses the result as the source for this trigger. You can also select Synchronization Clock (Divided 1) or Synchronization Clock (Full Speed).
 4. Select a destination terminal for Connect Trigger Terminals:
 Routing a clock signal through a PXI_Trig line is not recommended. due to poor clock signal integrity caused by the topology of the PXI_Trig lines. Use PXI_Star, PXIe_DStar, or PFI lines instead.
 - Select a PXI_Star line to route the specified clock through the backplane trigger lines of the chassis.
 - Select a front panel terminal (PFI, PFI_LVDS) to route the specified clock through the front zone of the chassis to another PXI chassis, a physically connected module in the same chassis, or an external device.
 - Select PXIe_DStarB to route the specified clock from a system timing module to a peripheral slot.
 - Select PXIe_DStarC to route the specified clock from a peripheral slot to a system timing module.
 5. Place Disconnect Trigger Terminals on the diagram to free the trigger lines for other applications.
 6. Place Close on the diagram to end the NI-Sync session. The synchronization clock you set using niSync Properties is routed to a different location in the chassis using a trigger line.

text: This paper introduces a lightweight knee assisting robot called 'COWALK-M' and a control methodology using estimated ground slope and intended walking speed of the wearer. It is designed to assist stroke patients suffering from mild hemiplegia to move the paretic knee joint during Activities of Daily Living(ADL). The COWALK-M has various kinds of sensors including pressure sensors under the soles as well as encoders at the knee and ankle joints. These sensors are used to detect gait phases in real-time and finite state machine (FSM) is implemented for quiet standing and forward walking. Furthermore, ground slope as well as gait speed is estimated in order to provide the wearer with the most appropriate trajectory. To evaluate the performance of gait segmentation algorithm and gait speed/ground slope estimator, experiments on walking with and without a treadmill were conducted on five subjects under different speeds and different inclines. Despite a small number of sensors used, our method showed relatively high success rates for phase detection and a small error for estimators.


_USER_{Yan2012Efficient, abstract = {This paper proposes efficient estimators of risk measures in a semiparametric GARCH model defined through moment constraints. Moment constraints are often used to identify and estimate the mean and variance parameters and are however discarded when estimating error quantiles. In order to prevent this efficiency loss in quantile estimation, we propose a quantile estimator based on inverting an empirical likelihood weighted distribution estimator. It is found that the new quantile estimator is uniformly more efficient than the simple empirical quantile and a quantile estimator based on normalized residuals. At the same time, the efficiency gain in error quantile estimation hinges on the efficiency of estimators of the variance parameters. We show that the same conclusion applies to the estimation of conditional Expected Shortfall. Our comparison also leads to interesting implications of residual bootstrap for dynamic models. We find that these proposed estimators for conditional Value-at-Risk and expected shortfall are asymptotically mixed normal. This asymptotic theory can be used to construct confidence bands for these estimators by taking account of parameter uncertainty.

Architect: William Deane Butler & Iarnród Éireann Architects
Originally constructed for the Drogheda and Dublin Railway Company, this was the first of the four major Dublin Railway termini to be constructed. Still in use today, it has been renamed Connolly Station after James Connolly who was executed for his part in the 1916 rising although many people still refer to it as Amiens Station. The station was built between 1844-46, and it is constructed on an axis with Talbot Street allowing the central tower to act as a signpost for the station. A symmetrical five bay façade with three towers and an enormous entrance arch – the main façade does not hang together particularly well as an integrated design.
In the late 20th century Iarnród Éireann Architects renovated the building by adding a new entrance foyer to the south and cleaning the brickwork inside the shed. In addition to the mainline trains, Connolly also services the local DART and Suburban Rail services. These trains operate from platforms adjacent to the main railway shed, on an elevated railbed before crossing the river via the Loopline Bridge.
The removal of the traffic access ramp to the south has allowed a terminus of sorts for the Luas Light Rail system, which had now been negated by the extension of the route to the Point on North Wall Quay.

In Java instance variables can be initialized by an initialization block as shown below:
class Example {
 private int varOne;
 private int varTwo;
 // Instance Initializer
 varOne = 42;
 varTwo = 256;
Is there an equivalent construct in C#?
[Edit] I know that this can be inline with the instance variable declaration. However, I am looking for is something similar to the static constructor in C# but for instance variables.

Point of pedantry: instance initialiser blocks and instance field initialisation are executed by the constructor immediately after calling super. – Tom Hawtin - tackline Mar 28 '09 at 13:05
_USER_ - You are right about the calling order. The source code comment is removed. – maxyfc Mar 28 '09 at 13:16
Why not just make it a method and call it from the constructor, if that is what happening behind the scene anyway? – toxvaerd Mar 28 '09 at 13:19
_USER_ - Sometimes we can't create constructors (e.g. anonymous class in Java). But, I think you can use different constructs like delegates in C# to do what anonymous classes are used for in Java (e.g. GUI event handlers). Just wondering if there is an equivalent construct. – maxyfc Mar 28 '09 at 13:35

There really is no equivalent in C#. C# has only 2 ways to initialize instance varibles
 1. In the constructor
 2. By explicitly initializing the variable at it's declaration point
There is no way to do an initialization after the object is created but before the constructor runs.

Create an instance constructor that any other local constructor will call in the initialization list:
private Example ()
 //initialize all fields here
public Example (/*list of parameters*/) : this()
 //do specific work here
If the default constructor is already required by the logic of the application, then susbstitute
private Example ()
private Example (object dummy)
and, of course, accordingly modify the initilization call.

unfortunately that doesn't let you have multiple instance initializer blocks... but for the common case would be reasonable. – TofuBeer Mar 28 '09 at 16:34
Curious - what is TofuBeer? and also, why would you want multiple instance initializer blocks? For the latter - it seems it would lead to confusion with blocks scattered throughout the class code, separate from constructors and separate from the member decls. – Cheeso Mar 28 '09 at 22:26
a concrerte example - there is a private readonly field I need to initialize based on some class methods that are unavailable at the static initialization. – Roland Tepp Feb 10 '11 at 8:59
In Java (static/instance) initialization block is usually (!) used in conjunction with static/instance variables that need some sort of special initialization incantation. Using initializer blocks allows you to keep the initialization code close to the fields being initialized this way, thus lessening the cognitive distance between declaring something and setting up it's value. It's not perfect, but sometimes necessary – Roland Tepp Feb 10 '11 at 9:03

This paper considers a problem of distributed tracking with consensus on a time-varying graph with noisy communications links. A distributed tracking with consensus algorithm is proposed to handle a time-varying network topology in which every node generates own local tracking estimates and communicates over noisy links. The conditions on the connectivity graph are established so that distributed consensus can be achieved in the presence of noisy communication links when the graph topology is time-varying. The steady-state performance of the proposed distributed tracking with consensus algorithm is analyzed and compared with that of distributed local Kalman filtering with centralized fusion. Simulation results and performance analysis of the proposed algorithm are also given.


Do Lions Chuff Like Tigers?
In their younger ages, lions can indeed make similar sounds to a meow.
Most older lions will resort to low moans and groans when socially bonding with one another, often trying to drown each other out with their sounds!
It's their equivalent of a purr, or in the case of some other big cats, the equivalent of a "chuff."
What does a lion Chuffing mean?
Prusten is also referred to as chuffing or chuffle (verb and noun). It is described as a short, low intensity, non-threatening vocalization. The vocalization is produced by tigers, jaguars, snow leopards and clouded leopards. Prusten has significance in both the fields of evolution and conservation.
What does it mean when a tiger Chuffs at you?
She also found that to greet one another (or their human keepers), tigers make a special noise called a prusten, or chuff, by keeping their mouths closed while pushing air through their nostrils. "The forests aren't the way people often picture jungles with tigers.

Organic matter and crude protein digestibility predicted from nitrogen and fibre fractionation of festulolium hybrids
|Kateg. publikace||Vědecké publikace impaktované|
The objectives of the experiment were to study nitrogen fractions of the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) and digestibility of organic matter (OMD) and crude protein (CPD) along with the possibilities for predicting OMD and CPD based on chemical composition and CNCPS nitrogen fractions. Thirty samples of festulolium hybrids (fescue hybrids and ryegrass hybrids) commonly used and certified in the Czech Republic were analyzed for chemical composition, brutto energy, and nitrogen fractions, these fractions being A (non-protein nitrogen), B1 (rapidly degradable protein), B2 (intermediately degradable protein), B3 (slowly degradable protein), and C (unavailable protein). OMD and CPD were determined by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy. Nitrogen fractions showed similar mean values for both analyzed groups of festulolium hybrids. Mean rapidly, intermediately, and slowly soluble fractions (B1, B2, and B3, respectively) were 29.2, 30.7, and 33.7 g/kg of dry matter (DM) for fescue hybrids and 21.7, 33.5, and 31.9 g/kg of DM for ryegrass hybrids. There was a trend for fraction B2 to decrease with advancing maturity in relation to neutral detergent insoluble protein value. The mean content of bound fraction C was 10.4 g/kg of DM for fescue hybrids and 7.3 g/kg of DM for ryegrass hybrids. Three groups of hybrids were evaluated statistically: fescue (I), ryegrass (II), and combined fescue/ryegrass (III). Better regression equations were found for fescue/ryegrass hybrids. High degrees of CPD determination were identified with predictors of individual nitrogen fractions (R2 = 0.975; P > 0.0001). OMD was described in regressions only using nitrogen fractions A and B1 (R2 = 0.500; P > 0.0001).

Importing an image into SwiftUI using UIImagePickerController
Paul Hudson _USER_
In order to bring this project to life, we need to let the user select a photo from their library, then display it in ContentView. I've already shown you how this all works, so now it's just a matter of putting it into our app – hopefully it will make a little more sense this time!
Start by making a new Swift file called ImagePicker.swift, replace its "Foundation" import with "SwiftUI", then give it this basic struct:
struct ImagePicker: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
 _USER_(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode
 _USER_ var image: UIImage?
 func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext) -> UIImagePickerController {
 let picker = UIImagePickerController()
 return picker
 func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIImagePickerController, context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext) {
If you recall, using UIViewControllerRepresentable means that ImagePicker is already a SwiftUI view that we can place inside our view hierarchy. In this instance we're wrapping UIKit's UIImagePickerController, which lets the user select something from their photo library.
When that ImagePicker struct is created, SwiftUI will automatically call its makeUIViewController() method, which is what goes on to create and send back a UIImagePickerController. However, our code doesn't actually respond to any events inside the image picker – the user can search for an image and select it to dismiss the view, but we don't then do anything with it.
Rather than making us create a subclass of UIImagePickerController, UIKit instead uses a system of delegation: we create a custom class that will be told when something interesting happened. Each delegate class will usually need to conform to one or more protocols, and in our case that means UINavigationControllerDelegate and UIImagePickerControllerDelegate. The delegates work much like real-life delegates – if you delegate work to someone else, it means you're giving it to them to complete.
SwiftUI handles these delegate classes by letting us define a coordinator that belongs to the struct. This class can do anything we need, including acting as the delegate for UIKit components, and we can then pass any relevant information back up to the ImagePicker that owns it.
Start by adding this as a nested class inside ImagePicker:
class Coordinator: NSObject, UINavigationControllerDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate {
 let parent: ImagePicker
 init(_ parent: ImagePicker) {
 self.parent = parent
You can see that conforms to the two protocols we need to use for working with UIKit's image picker, and also inherits from NSObject which is the base class for most types that come from UIKit.
Because our coordinator class conforms to the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate protocol, we can make it the delegate of the UIKit image picker by modifying makeUIViewController() to this:
 let picker = UIImagePickerController()
 picker.delegate = context.coordinator
 return picker
We need to make two more changes to ImagePicker to make it useful. The first is to add a makeCoordinator() method that tells SwiftUI to use the Coordinator class for the ImagePicker coordinator. From our perspective this is obvious, because we created a class called Coordinator that was inside the ImagePicker struct, but this makeCoordinator() method lets us control how the coordinator is made.
If you recall, we gave the Coordinator class a single property: let parent: ImagePicker. This means we need to create it with a reference to the image picker that owns it, so the coordinator can forward on interesting events. So, inside our makeCoordinator() method we'll create a Coordinator object and pass in self.
Add this method to the ImagePicker struct now:
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
The final step for ImagePicker is to give the coordinator some sort of functionality. The UIImagePickerController class looks for two methods, but here we're only going to use one: didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo. This will be called when the user has selected an image, and will be given a dictionary of information about the selected image.
To make ImagePicker useful we need to implement that method inside Coordinator, make it set the image property of its parent ImagePicker, then dismiss the view.
UIKit's method name is long and complex, so it's best written using code completion. Make some space inside the Coordinator class and type "didFinishPicking", then press return to have Xcode fill in the whole method for you. Now modify it to have this code:
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey: Any]) {
 if let uiImage = info[.originalImage] as? UIImage {
 parent.image = uiImage
That completes ImagePicker.swift, so please head back to ContentView.swift so we can make use of it.
First we need an _USER_ Boolean to track whether our image picker is being shown or not, so start by adding this to ContentView:
_USER_ private var showingImagePicker = false
Second, we need to set that Boolean to true when the big gray rectangle is tapped, so replace the // select an image comment with this:
self.showingImagePicker = true
Third, we need a property that will store the image the user selected. We gave the ImagePicker struct an _USER_ property attached to a UIImage, which means when we create the image picker we need to pass in a UIImage for it to link to. When the _USER_ property changes, the external value changes as well, which lets us read the value.
So, add this property to ContentView:
_USER_ private var inputImage: UIImage?
Fourth, we need a method that will be called when the ImagePicker view has been dismissed. For now this will just place the selected image directly into the UI, so please add this method to ContentView now:
func loadImage() {
 guard let inputImage = inputImage else { return }
 image = Image(uiImage: inputImage)
And finally, we need to add a sheet() modifier somewhere in ContentView. This will use showingImagePicker as its condition, will reference loadImage as its onDismiss parameter, and present an ImagePicker bound to inputImage as its contents.
So, add this directly below the existing navigationBarTitle() modifier:
.sheet(isPresented: $showingImagePicker, onDismiss: loadImage) {
 ImagePicker(image: self.$inputImage)
That completes all the steps required to wrap a UIKit view controller for use inside SwiftUI. We went over it a little faster this time but hopefully it still all made sense!
Go ahead and run the app again, and you should be able to tap the gray rectangle to import a picture, and when you've found one it will appear inside our UI.
Tip: The ImagePicker view we just made is completely reusable – you can put that Swift file to one side and use it on other projects easily. If you think about it, all the complexity of wrapping the view is contained inside ImagePicker.swift, which means if you do choose to use it elsewhere it's just a matter of showing a sheet and binding an image.

Researching The History Of A Country House
A Guide to Sources & Their Use
Date of publication: 2010
The origins of this book date from the early 1990s when the author began to research the history of his own country house in the Kent Downs at Trimworth, near Canterbury. These early investigations led him to see how Trimworth could be used as a case study in a voyage of discovery which others could also enjoy. The book will be most relevant to the owners of country houses, providing a methodology for the less experienced to trace an exciting pathway of inquiry. It is based on an exploration of a wide range of maps and documentary sources available from local, regional and national archive centres. This fully illustrated guide encourages a systematic process of research into the fascinating and topical subject of house history and makes frequent reference to online sources.

In this workshop, you'll find that the letter "H" is the perfect frame for a helmet. We'll rework a simple giant letter into a helmet for an imaginary sports team.
What you'll need:
15″ x 15″ cardstock
- Begin by cutting out one 6″ x 6″ square from the middle of both sides of the cardstock as shown in the diagram, to create an "H" shape.
2. Draw patterns on the remaining area that best express your imaginary sport.
3. Bend in the middle so that both sets of ends can overlap and size it up to the wearer's head. Use a hole punch to create a hole through both layers.
4. Fasten the layers with a brass fastener, making sure to have the two ends of the fastener point from the inside of the helmet to the outside. This way the two ends do not poke the wearer's head or catch his or her hair.
5. Use the rest of the materials to decorate the helmet with telling elements that will help you in your imaginary sport. For example: Does it need an antenna for communicating? Does it need wings for flying? Or does it need lenses to cover the eyes?
Share your helmet with us using _TAG_! How-To Tuesdays are published on our blog every other week, so check back soon for a new project!

The problem here is not the combination of the characters "@" and ".". The problem is the length of the verification. In the example - _EMAIL_, the verification is too long for the encryption. Although the string is shorter than 20 characters, the encryption of this string that includes the "@" and "." is more than 20 bytes long and this is why it fails.

Discharge dyeing works with the removal of the dye originally applied to the fabric. In this case, it was originally a red piece of fabric using a dye remover was applied through a stencil resulting in a pattern of the red colour. This technique was introduced into China in the 50s which became very popular in the rural area. Traditional fabric dyeing technique in China are based on vegetable dye where the intensity of the colour will run through time and wash. Discharge dyeing was most welcomed as the colour stays and the patterns are fine. This fabric has a butterfly and flower print.

Herein, what is Texas sage good for?
Texas sage is a classic in the American Southwest. What is a Texas sage shrub? As a native plant, it provides cover for wild animals and birds and helps stabilize loose desert soils. This adaptable plant is drought tolerant and useful in areas with high heat and cold desert temperatures.
Subsequently, question is, how do you take care of Texas sage? Texas sage does not need rich soil to thrive and prefers dry but well-draining alkaline soil with infrequent watering. Stop watering the plant during winter. It is a water-conserving plant and only needs occasional watering. This makes Texas sage ideal for xeriscape gardens and dry soil is ideal for older plants.
Likewise, can you eat Texas sage?
It also helps that almost the entire shrub is edible some way. The blossoms, yellow or red, can be eaten raw or cooked. Their flavor is mild.
How quickly does Texas sage grow?
The Texas Sage is a fairly slow growing plant, and may take up to two years to become fully established and bloom reliably. Once established the Texas Sage is extremely drought tolerant, requires very little supplemental water, and will bloom after a good rain storm.
29 Related Question Answers Found
How much water does a Texas sage need?
Water newly planted Texas sage every five to seven days for a few weeks until it's well established, allowing the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between watering sessions. After that, rainfall should be enough in most climates. If rainfall is below average, water the plant in summer to promote flowering.
Is Texas sage poisonous to dogs?
Commonly called barometer bush or Texas sage, Leucophyllum frutescens has green or silver leaves and seasonal blooms, most commonly shaded purple. Barometer bush is not typically toxic to dogs, but can shelter allergens and other poisonous animals or matter.
Does Texas sage attract butterflies?
Bloom Time
Texas sage most often blooms after summer showers and does bloom repeatedly in waves from spring through fall, especially after rains moisten the soil. Other benefits of Texas sage are its interesting foliage and its ability to attract butterflies and other beneficial insects.
Do bees like Texas sage?
Texas Sage Plant Features
The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other polliantors.
Does Texas sage loose leaves in winter?
ANSWER: Leucophyllum frutescens (Cenizo), or Texas sage, is a dry land plant that responds very strongly to weather conditions. It often loses leaves following a cold winter. Texas sage can be pruned severely if desired without permanent damage.
Is Texas sage an evergreen?
As you might have guessed, Texas sage originated in Texas, but also in New Mexico, and across the border, in northern Mexico. It is an evergreen shrub, with grayish-green leaves and purple flowers. Texas sage also goes by the names of Texas Ranger and Silverleaf. It's a perennial which will bloom on its own every year.
Can you cut back Texas sage?
If left to grow naturally, Texas sage develops uneven branches and an unruly appearance. Pruning is not necessary, but an occasional trim keeps the shrub looking neat. Ideally, pruning should occur in late winter before Texas sage produces new growth.
Why is my Texas sage not blooming?
Texas Sage thrives in full sun and well-drained alkaline soil. They will tolerate a bit of shade, but too much shade will result in leggy plants that don't bloom heavily. Supplemental water in summer will help plants grow faster and bloom more, but over-watering or poor drainage will kill Texas sage quickly.
What is Cenizo good for?
Comments: Cenizo is popular for xeriscaping in Texas - it is a good choice for foundation planting and hedges, and is useful as a windbreak barrier or a screen. It is not unusual to see Cenizo as a sheared hedge, although light pruning to maintain a more natural shape may result in a healthier shrub.
What is Purple Sage good for?
Highly aromatic, Purple Sage is the most effective medicinal variety of Sage but stands cold the least. It can be made into teas to aide in digestion, used as an anti inflammatory agent for insect bites and can relive chest colds and congestion.
Can you cook with Purple Sage?
Purple sage can be used in place of common garden sage or when an added pop of color is desired. Purple sage develops optimal flavor when cooked in fat such as butter, olive oil, or bacon. Pan fry fresh Purple sage leaves until crispy for a uniquely colored garnish for quiches, pastas, risotto or other dishes.
What does it mean when purple sage blooms?
It tells you when it may rain! A drought-tolerant, evergreen shrub, this pretty, silver-leafed bush can bloom tubular-shaped blossoms that are a bold purple in color. Actual rainfall may not occur, but the plant is sensitive to changes in barometric pressure and humidity, and therefore it blossoms.
How do you prune a Texas Ranger?
Prune the shrub in the late winter or early spring when it is dormant. Cut out any dead or broken branches with a pair of pruning shears. Make each cut 1/4 inch above an outward-facing leaf bud, lateral branch or branch base. Remove any crossing branches that rub against other limbs.
Why is my Texas sage yellow?
How do you transplant Texas sage?
The shrub can get established and form a good root system during the cool, wet season when conditions are mild.
 1. Clear the planting area and remove rocks, weeds, roots and sticks.
 2. Soak the container the Texas sage is in 24 hours before planting.
Is Texas sage drought tolerant?
Very drought tolerant. Requires excellent drainage. The Texas sage is a fairly slow-growing plant, and may take up to 2 years to become fully established and bloom reliably. Once established, the Texas Sage is extremely drought tolerant, requires very little supplemental water, and will bloom after a good rain storm.
What does Texas sage look like?
Handsome and hardy, Texas sage is an outstanding South Florida landscape choice with its silvery foliage, purple flowers and drought-tolerant nature. The lavender to purple blossoms appear on and off all year amidst small, soft, silver or gray-green leaves.

In order to increase the count rate capability of a neutron detection system as a whole, we propose a multi-stage neutron detection system. Experiments to test the effectiveness of this concept were carried out on Fusion Neutronics Source. Comparing four configurations of alignment, it was found that the influence of an anterior stage on a posterior stage was negligible for the pulse height distribution. The two-stage system using 25 mm thickness scintillator was about 1.65 times the count rate capability of a single detector system for d-D neutrons and was about 1.8 times the count rate capability for d-T neutrons. The results suggested that the concept of a multi-stage detection system will work in practice.

Lexington's Carnegie Library
Lexington's library has a long, distinguished history. Established in 1795, it is now the oldest institution of its kind in Kentucky and possibly the oldest in the west. The library was started with 400 books, which were added to the collection that already existed at the Transylvania Seminary. The library was based on subscription wherein people paid for the use of the library holdings. In 1898, Lexington was deemed a second-class city by the Kentucky Legislature and this classification enabled the city to acquire and conduct a free library. The Carnegie Library, also known as the Lexington Public Library, was built in 1906 as a gift to the city of Lexington from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation. To receive its donation, the Carnegie Foundation required the city to provide a site for the library and to appropriate funds for the library's upkeep. The new building was constructed of Bedford limestone and was built for a sum of $75,000. Thereafter, the contents of the library were moved to their new home, a beautiful Neo-Classical building at the southern end of Gratz Park. During the late 1980s the Lexington Public Library built a new, larger central branch on East Main Street to accommodate its growing collection. The Carnegie Library is now the home of the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning. This organization provides many free, public programs to help spread literacy and to promote reading among children.

Is there any way to get the total page count after selecting multiple word documents in a folder?
share|improve this question
3 Answers 3
Hopefully this will enlighten you a little further than the rather brief answer provided by another user.
Simple answer: no.
Detailed answer: A MS Word document only has "pages" once it is generated (i.e. opened). The main reason for this is to do with the page size. For example: if you have three documents under scrutiny, formatted to sizes A5, A4 & A3 respectively, then to count the number of pages collectively would be practically impossible to display in a simple, logical / coherent format.
The only potential way around this is to write some custom software which opens each desired document one after the other, logs the page sizes of each respective document, and then counts the number of pages within each page size category and logs it before closing each document and proceeding to the next.
Hopefully this will be of help to you.
Many thanks.
Adam's response (Nov 22 '12 at 15:08) is also somewhat correct and I feel that I should elaborate on my answer; Word does store a page count for some document types, but not all, as Adam quite rightly states. I chose to treat this factor as an 'all or nothing' property; either it stores a page count for all document types, or none at all. Hence why if you extract the page count property from each document, it may result in incorrect / inaccurate data due to particular file types not being read. This is why my suggestion of custom software would be the best overall option as the data can become stale or inaccurate and not always reflect the facts. This is why it is better to consider Word as not storing any page number properties rather than just some.
I hope this also helps?

Thanks for the info. I don't suppose you have a link to any such custom software? – Paul Spangle Nov 20 '12 at 11:57
I'm afraid not; however, the logic behind the software should not be too difficult to implement. The software is required to look in a directory, locate all.doc /.docx files and then from there, open the document, log the number of pages (if you wish to include page size here, it will require more detailed analysis of the document), add the total to a running count for each page size, then close the document and move onto the next until all have been analysed. – SnookerFan Nov 20 '12 at 15:09

Not coincidental in relation to what, exactly? – SnookerFan Oct 21 '13 at 10:12
Has this worked? – SnookerFan Nov 22 '13 at 10:16
This same question came up at work and Google brought me here. There isn't a way to select the documents in Windows Explorer and obtain a page count, but there are other methods that might provide a good enough estimate.
I'm thinking of trying out this PowerShell script: Hey, Scripting Guy! How Do I Count the Number of Pages in a Group of Office Word Documents? For an end user I would set up a shortcut and maybe prompt for the folder location.
share|improve this answer
SnookerFan's detailed answer is a little off, Microsoft Word does store the number of pages in a document as a document property when the document is saved. This value is what shows up in the explorer when you view the properties of the file and it should be correct 99% of the time although I'm sure there are some situations where the value of this property could become stale and incorrect.
Therefore you could create a simple application and even make it into a shell plugin to query this property and add the values together.
One thing to keep in mind is this property is displayed for DOC and DOCX documents but isn't for RTF format even though it is written to the RTF document (represented by the {\nofpagesX} keyword).

The phrase Grand Cross is used to describe the highest grade in many types of knighthood. Sometimes the person with the highest grade are called "knights grand cross" or just "grand crosses". Sometimes the actual medallion or ribbon is called "the grand cross" and not the person.
In some orders, the highest grade may be called the "grand cordon", "grand collar" or something like this. In those cases the rank of grand cross may come after another rank, but before the highest grade.
As an example:
- for the Portuguese Order of Saint James of the Sword, the Grand Cross is the 5th highest award, with the Grand Collar being a higher award above the Grand Cross.

INFLUENCE OF DETERMINISTIC AND STOCHASTIC HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY DISTRIBUTIONS ON PREFERENTIAL FLOW PATHWAYS IN A GLACIAL AQUIFER SYSTEM
MODPATH was used to track the pathways of 100 particles released as line sources at five depth intervals with documented 1,4-dioxane concentrations along the boundary of the contaminant source area. Pathways for 100 realizations of each ensemble were combined to produce cross sections showing the frequency of particles passing through individual model cells along transects spaced at 1 km intervals downgradient of the line source and adjacent to the hypothesized groundwater discharge location along the Huron River approximately 8 km from the line source. Results revealed dispersion of preferential flow pathways related to stochastic K variability proximal to the line source, followed by increasing channelization into preferential flow pathways related to the deterministic hydrostratigraphic framework farther downgradient. Differences in the spatial distribution of particle pathways observed between the ensembles of SIS and SGS ensembles increased with increasing travel distances. These results suggest that the relative influence of deterministic versus stochastic components of hybrid models depends upon the scale of the flow and transport problem under investigation.

The Working Classes in Revolutionary France
 - 1830 / 1832

 Works Cited
 - Where did the working class live?
 Boarding Houses
 Boarding Houses
 Workers who were just arriving in the city, whether for the season or forever, typically lived in boarding houses. Boarding houses were usually filled with workers who had come from the same region, and a newly arrived worker would seek out the boarding house from his region. There he would likely receive a warm welcome and help getting adjusted and finding a job.
 Boarding houses typically rented what they called furnished rooms by the night, week, or month. The rooms actually consisted only of dormitory style plank beds. Workers would often be assigned two to a bed with someone they had never met before. They, however, probably saw it as somewhat of an improvement over country life where families typically slept with the livestock.
 This picture shows a cross section of a typical apartment building. The working classes would occupy the fourth and most likely part of the fifth floor.
 Parisian House, about 1850.
 Workers who had families, or who had been established for longer often moved into apartments. They typically consisted of one or two rooms, which might be shared by more than one family or more than one generation of the same family. In addition, they also served as a workshop in many cases. For example, the husband of the family might be a weaver, in which case the looms would be set up around the apartment and the whole family would work on the weaving during the day.
 Apartment buildings of the time were typically large stone buildings with very little light or ventilation. The working class apartments in the building often did not have a fireplace or any other source of heat, and might not even have candles for light. this contibuted to the great popularity of cafes. An apartment building might have shared water and toilet on a landing or in a courtyard which all the families in the building would use. Because all provisions, including water had to be carried up the stairs, working class apartments usually occupied the upper or upper two floors of any building. The apartments might be as high as the sixth or seventh floor.
 The information on working class housing is taken from Traugott, p17-18 and throughout, as well as Maynes.


Jurisdiction and NCC agreement
Skip Navigation LinksEnglish > NCC > Jurisdiction and NCC agreement
What kinds of cases can be brought before the NCC?
A matter may be submitted to NCC where the following requirements are met:
 1. the Amsterdam District Court or Amsterdam Court of Appeal has jurisdiction
 2. the parties have expressly agreed in writing that proceedings will be in English before the NCC (the 'NCC agreement')
 3. the action is a civil or commercial matter within the parties' autonomy
 4. the matter concerns an international dispute.
Next, parties agree to take the case to the NCC (a chamber within the Amsterdam District Court or the Amsterdam Court of Appeal) and to make English the language of the proceedings. This is the "NCC agreement". The NCC agreement can be recorded in a clause, either before or after the dispute arises (see the Model clause).
The "civil or commercial matter" test is met where the dispute is related to civil law in a broad sense, as opposed to criminal charges or administrative proceedings. These matters may be contractual disputes, claims in tort, property disputes, or intellectual property, anti-trust/competition, technology, construction or corporate matters.
The following special types of cases may be appropriate for NCC proceedings:
 - A claim in a collective action, provided the Amsterdam District Court has jurisdiction based on criteria such as the domicile of one of the parties, or the place where the harmful event occurred.
 - An application seeking a declaration that a collective settlement is universally binding (including third parties), provided the agreement is connected to the Netherlands, so that the Amsterdam Court of Appeal has jurisdiction.
 - A claim to set aside an arbitral award that is filed in Amsterdam, provided that there is an agreement that the proceedings will be in English before the NCC Court of Appeal.
The "international dispute" test is broad in scope. It is met not only where one or more of the parties have their domicile in a foreign jurisdiction, but also where the dispute otherwise involves a relevant cross-border interest, such as shareholders, employees or revenue located in or linked to a foreign jurisdiction.
How can I confer jurisdiction and make an NCC agreement?
Parties may agree a clause that (a) confers jurisdiction and (b) records their agreement for proceedings to be in English before the NCC (the 'NCC agreement'). See the Model clause.


Devil's curve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Devil's curve for a = 0.8 and b = 1.
Devil's curve with a ranging from 0 to 1 and b = 1 (with the curve colour going from blue to red).
In geometry, a Devil's curve is a curve defined in the Cartesian plane by an equation of the form
y^2 (y^2 - a^2) = x^2 (x^2 - b^2).
Devil's curves were studied heavily by Gabriel Cramer.
The name comes from the shape its central lemniscate takes when graphed. The shape is named after the juggling game diabolo, which involves two sticks, a string, and a spinning prop in the likeness of the lemniscate. The confusion is the result of the Italian word diavolo meaning 'devil'.[1]

Ask Marilyn: When You're Twice As Old As Your Child
Kelly Buch of Darien, Connecticut, writes:
Marilyn: I read the question regarding being twice as old as your child. (November 4, 2012) The question was, "There is only one time in your life when you're twice as old as your child. When is that?" Your response was, "When the child reaches the age you were when he or she was born." Actually, there are two different times in your life when you're are twice as old as your child, if you round to the year.
Here's an illustration: I was born the day before my mother's birthday. She was 28 then and turned 29 the next day. In four years, I will turn 28. On my birthday, my mom will be 56—twice as old as me. The next day, she will turn 57. When I turn 29 the following year, she will still be 57, turning 58 the next day—again twice my age. This will stay true until my next birthday. So there are two time periods during which my mom will be twice as old as I am.
Thank you, Kelly. Readers, it's correct that there's only one time when you're actually twice as old as your child—when the child reaches the exact age you were when he or she was born. But when you round to the year, it happens twice, as Kelly demonstrates. The two periods will always add up to about one year. (I say "about" to forestall getting letters about leap years!)

An analysis of the commuting and housing expenses of the working poor finds that compared with other workers:
- The working poor spend a much higher portion of their income on commuting. The cost burden of commuting for the working poor is 6.1 percent compared with 3.8 percent for other workers. The working poor who drive to work spend the most: 8.4 percent.
- The combined costs of commuting and housing make up a larger portion of the household budgets of the working poor than other households. For working-poor homeowners, nearly 25 percent of their household income is consumed by housing and commuting expenses compared with just 15.3 percent for other households. For those who rent, the disparities between the working poor (32.4 percent) and other households (19.7 percent) are even greater.
- The cost burden of commuting for the working poor is greater than the national median in eight of the 12 largest metropolitan areas. Six of these—Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.—also have a higher cost burden of housing than the national median for the working poor.
Transportation is necessary to nearly every aspect of daily life. It enhances both physical and economic mobility and is a key factor in workers' ability to find and retain employment. This survey offers a better understanding of transportation and its costs by focusing on one of its components, commuting.


NHibernate Caching: The Secong Level Cache Space Is Shared!
time to read 3 min | 439 words
Let us assume that you have an architecture that demands that you'll have a database per client (quite common, by my experiance), but the application layers are the same. This is usually done for reasons of security and/or scalability. So there is no way a client can get information for another client.
This is fairly simple to handle with NHibernate, you just create a session factory per each client. This is actually an advantage, since you can start playing with the implementations of the classes for each client. (Yes, you are reading me correctly. In this case, it possible to turn NHibernate into an Inversion Of Control container).
The issue turns up when you have caching turned on. Assuming you have an entity of the same type with the same identifier in two of the databases, you may very will mix the data when it is cached. NHibernate maintain a single second level cache per session factory, so you are supposed to be safe from this. The problem is that the cache space is shared (and it has to be shared).
Let us take an example of an Employee object with id of #5, which exist in both IniTech and Fuzbar databases. When the employee instnace is loaded and put in the cache, the cache key that is used looks something like: "NHibernate:Entities.EmployeeManagement.Employee:5@5". Now, when we try to load an employee from the second database, we first lookup in the cache, finding that there is an instance there, because the cache keys matches.
This is happening because the cache space (so to speak) is the same space for all the caching strategies. For SysCache, it is the ASP.Net cache that is used for the cache space. For distributed caching, Memcached is used. In both cases, if the same cache key is generated, the information will be returned even if the key was actually inserted by another session factory.
In this sceanrio, I solved the issue by modifying the SysCacheProvider to be aware of the current database, and insert the current database name to the cache key. This solved all the issues in one stroke.
The JIRA issue for this is here. I was surprised to learn that I was the first to encounter this, and in the comments to the JIRA issue, I found that indeed I wasn't the first. :-)
The issue is solve by specifying cache region prefix in the session factory configuration, but the functionality wasn't ported to NHibernate yet.

Nuclear Plant Report Evaluates Fish Impact
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.—The federal fisheries service says the continued operation of two nuclear plants in the New York City suburbs would have an "adverse effect" on two endangered species of sturgeon, but wouldn't come close to wiping them out.
The conclusion appears to help the argument for extending licenses for the Indian Point plants on the Hudson River, although one critic called it wrong and irrelevant.

Field (agriculture)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core

A field of sunflowers in Cardejón, Spain
In agriculture, a field is an area of land, enclosed or otherwise, used for agricultural purposes such as cultivating crops or as a paddock or other enclosure for livestock. A field may also be an area left to lie fallow or as arable land.
Many farms have a field border, usually composed of a strip of shrubs and vegetation, used to provide food and cover necessary for the survival of wildlife. It has been found that these borders may lead to an increased variety of animals and plants in the area, but also in some cases a decreased yield of crops.[1]
In Australian and New Zealand English, any agricultural field may be called a paddock. If stock are grazed there, the space may be called a run, e.g. sheep run; cattle run.[2]

The Real Reason Oranges Are Sold In Red Mesh Bags
Just because you don't see commercials for oranges on TV doesn't mean that they aren't being expertly marketed to you. According to HuffPost, the way food looks is extremely important, and in fact, it's a billion-dollar business. Essentially, foods need to look tasty, no matter what you're selling. This means lots of research has gone into making everything about the store as profitable as it can be. Everything from where products are placed on shelves to food packaging is all designed to pull you in.
Oranges, in particular, generally come in distinctive red mesh bags, and this was not a random decision on the part of the grocery industry. As it turns out, color is one of the most effective tools that the markets have. In fact, a study found that companies can use colors to "increase or decrease appetite, enhance mood, calm down customers, and reduce perception of waiting time" (via Emerald Insight).
So, which of these does the red bag do?
Selling oranges in red bags has to do with color theory
The red bag actually makes the oranges look, well, orange. If you think about it, the brighter orange an orange or tangerine looks, the riper we interpret it to be. A yellow orange can be instantly written off as unripe. That's the theory behind the red bag — by placing the thin, overlapping lines of red mesh over the oranges, they appear to be less yellow and more orange in color, which makes us interpret them as being of a higher-quality (via Mental Floss). This means you're more likely to purchase a whole bag of oranges than, say, just a few that are stacked by themselves (since those won't look as bright), which in turn means more money for the supermarket.
It's so effective that if you were to put some lemons in the same red mesh bag, they would appear much more orange. This is also why lemons are usually sold in yellow or green mesh bags — to make them look as yellow and green as possible, respectively (via Reader's Digest).
How to see beyond the red mesh bag when buying oranges
What does all this mean for your buying decisions? After all, it's one thing to know the red bag secret, but how can you really tell which oranges are the ripest if the color can't be trusted?
Buying local and organic is always a good way to beat the system and ensure high-quality produce. If you can't make it to the farmers market, though, there are still a few tricks you can use. Taste of Home recommends squeezing the fruits to look for firmness, "heft" (the heavier they are, the more juice they contain), and a thinner skin to suss out the sweetest oranges. There should be a smoothness to the rind and no obvious soft spots. Finally, don't forget to stock up between mid-winter and early spring to get oranges in season.

Faithful+Gould has provided subject expert support to enable Network Rail to produce a Whole Life Costing (WLC) manual to embed whole life cycle costing into all future infrastructure projects from 2014 onwards.
The WLC manual for projects provides the following:
- Core principles: defining WLC and life cycle costing (LCC), why it is important and when / how to apply it
- Roles and responsibilities: clients, project sponsors, PM, QS, RVM and route asset managers and engineers
- Establishing WLC in projects: how to produce economic and financial modelling on projects, estimating methods for capital construction costs, estimating methods for life cycle costing and non construction costs, how we deal with sustainability and reliability, driving WLC into the decision making process though risk and value management
- Methods, products and tools to use
- WLC tasks during the GRIP stages: checklist (following the RIBA plan of works format)
- Evidence required at key decision points
- Cost breakdown structure + unit costs method (link to Rail Methods of Measurement)
- Case studies
This will have massive implications on the UK construction industry and will change the way investment decisions are made in future. The WLC manual embeds the WLC and LCC cost breakdown structure from the ISO 15686, new rules of measurement and also the 'unit cost framework' methodology as Network Rail's Rail Methods of Measurement. This provided a standardised cost framework for cost analysis and benchmark cost data all asset categories (for all infrastructure asset categories – e.g. tunnels, structures, track, signalling, as well as for stations, car parks and other operational buildings).
The Office of Rail Regulations has made WLC a mandatory requirement for funding of all future infrastructure construction project works to the rail network from April 2014 onwards.

Following a strand of narrative studies pointing to the living conditions of storytelling and the micro-level implications of working within fragmented narrative perspectives, this article contributes to narrative research on work stories by focusing on how meaning is created from fragmented stories. We argue that meaning by story making is not always created by coherence and causality; meaning is created by different types of fragmentation: discontinuities, tensions and editing. The objective of this article is to develop and advance antenarrative practice analysis of work stories by exploring how different types of fragmentation create meanings. This is done by studying the work stories of job and personnel consultants and by drawing on the results of a narrative, ethnographic study of a consultancy. The analysis demonstrates how work stories are social practices negotiated, retold, edited and performed by the storyteller in an ongoing process allowing tensions, discontinuities and editing between failures and achievements, between dreams and work realities and between home and work life. We argue that by including different types of fragmentation, we offer a new type of antenarrative practice approach that offers a contemporary method for exploring meaning creation in work stories.

Bariatric ground transport is a form of medical transportation specifically designed to meet the needs of bariatric patients. This kind of transport is designed to offer the comfort and safety that traditional transport may fail to provide. Patients are considered to be bariatric if they have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30.
Consequently, a bariatric patient's weight and size often make it uncomfortable and unsafe to transport them via traditional ambulances not explicitly designed for such purpose.
As such, special transportation that can meet the patient's requirements have to be used. Bariatric ground transport companies now offer special transportation services that are ideal for transporting bariatric patients. However, there are some factors to consider when choosing a bariatric ground transport company. Below are a few of the major factors to consider.
1. Level of Care Required
Some bariatric patients are reasonably mobile and can move or be moved with relative ease. Others might be bedridden and require more assistance to move safely. Equally important is the level of medical attention that the patient would often require in transit. Some basic medical care is enough in some instances, while others require advanced medical attention even in transit. Therefore, it's imperative to choose a company that can provide the needed level of care.
2. Type of Vehicle
Another vital factor to consider when choosing a bariatric ground transport company is the type of vehicles available. Large vehicles with wide doors are needed to accommodate bariatric patients. Other essential factors to note are the weight and size limitations. It's important to verify that the vehicles can transport a bariatric patient safely and comfortably.
3. Equipment Condition and Suitability.
To successfully transport a bariatric patient, a bariatric ground transport service must have the right equipment to accommodate and serve a bariatric patient. For instance, intramuscular injections must be done with longer needles, and blood pressure cuffs must be in the appropriate size.
Furthermore, the wheelchairs and stretchers must also be specially designed for bariatric patients. Overall, equipment must be large-sized and suitable for bariatric patients to facilitate the smooth movement of the patient. Weight limitations of lifting equipment like stretchers and wheelchairs must also be considered.
4. Availability of Door-to-Door Service
It is important to verify whether a particular bariatric ground transport company offers door to door service. It would be difficult and inconvenient if the patient has to be moved to a different location before being transported. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm if they offer door to door service before hiring them. In some cases, a company might even provide bed-to-bed services.
5. Personnel Capability and Competence
Transporting a bariatric patient requires more personnel. In fact, a minimum of four individuals must be available to move a bariatric patient safely. As such, you must choose a company that has adequate personnel for the trip.
Also, there are guidelines and algorithms that are designed to guarantee the safety of both patient and personnel in the course of transporting a bariatric patient. Specifically, Bariatric Algorithm 6 details the procedures for transporting a bariatric patient. Hence, it is necessary to consider the knowledge and competence of the personnel before opting for any bariatric ground transport service.
The factors highlighted in this article will help you choose the right medical transport company; that offers a seamless bariatric ground transport service that guarantees the safety and comfort of the patient at all times.

Rain in Spain is on the decline
02 February 2011
A study led by the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR) has studied precipitation trends in Spain's 10 hydrological basins over the 1946 to 2005 period. The results show that precipitation has declined overall between the months of March and June, reducing the length of the rainy season. The rains are heavier in October in the north west of the country.
Since 1946, the average precipitation falling on Spanish hydrological basins has undergone "notable" changes. The researchers observed a widespread decline in March and June, above all in March (except in the basin of the Segura), with less intense rains in June.
"The basin of the Guadiana (in the south west of Spain) has experienced the strongest downward trend, with a reduction of 18%, while the positive trends recorded in the north west of the peninsula were less intense (the Norte, Douro and Tagus basins)", José Carlos González-Hidalgo, lead author of the study and a researcher at the UNIZAR, tells SINC.
The study, which has been published in the journal Climate Research, shows that the decline in rainfall in March leads to a reduction in the duration of the wet season. Even with the trend recorded in October (increased precipitation), the total precipitation for the hydrological year is increasingly dependent on the onset of the wet season. "In other words, it seems that the wet season has become shorter", explains González-Hidalgo.
Understanding what is happening in the basins
The research team studied the precipitation changes in each Spanish basin, and analysed the monthly series using the running trend technique, which "calculates the precipitation trend for various successive years, looks at the changes that have taken place, and detects possible modifications in this trend", the scientist explains.
Water is the most important resource in Spain, and it is managed by national water planning units at local level within the hydrological basins. "In order to plan the most effective way of using water, it is of fundamental importance to know what has happened in these basins, and what is happening now," the professor from the UNIZAR Department of Geography explains.
The data used to produce the study come from MOPREDAS, the most complete monthly precipitation database in mainland Spain, produced by the Department of Geography of the UNIZAR.
The UNIZAR researchers, working with the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute and the Institute of Atmospheric and Climate Science of Bologna (Italy), used all the records preserved in the archives of the Spanish State Meteorology Agency (AEMET).

Prayer Times in Quran
After the testimony of Faith, Salah (prayer) is the second major pillar of Islam. So Salah is an obligation for every Muslim to perform it on time. Muslims from all across the globe perform Salah five times a day:
Like Ramadan, Hajj and Friday prayer, Salah is also one of the rituals that must be performed within the correct time frame. If a prayer is performed before the prescribed time, the Salah will not be accepted. One must repeat this prayer when the time comes. At the same time, people are disobedient when a prayer is made too late. Allah has ordered us in ayah 103 of Surah 4 to perform the prayers at least (there are some other conditions) within the right time in order to get a prayer accepted!
Calculation Method for the prayer times in Saint-Norbert
The Calculation method for the prayer times in Saint-Norbert is based on the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). This method is using 15 degrees for Angle of the sun under the horizon (Fajr) and 15 degrees Angle of the sun under the horizon (Isha). Parts of the USA, Canada, Parts of the UK use this method.
The difference between Standard and Hanafi
The only difference is in the Asr prayer. The schools of Shafii, Hanbali, and Maliki use this method and Asr time starts when the shadow of an object is equivalent to its height. In the Hanafi method the Asr prayer time starts when the shadow of an object is twice its height. We use the standard method, so If your local mosque is using the Hanafi method you need to change this at the general prayer times page.
Latitude, Longitude and Time zone of Saint-Norbert
To calculate the prayer times for Saint-Norbert, we need to know the latitude, longitude and the local timezone of Saint-Norbert. We try to detect the longitude, latitude and timezone of your current city or town automatically. If you face any difference in prayer timings according to your current location then please confirm the latitude and longitude first at the general prayer times page. In addition, you can also find a GPS functionality at this page. You can also adjust other settings for the calculation for the prayer times of Saint-Norbert. But please be careful!
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from standard time during the summer months (summer time), and back again in the fall (winter time), in order to make better use of natural strong daylight. The prayer times widget is adjusting the daylight savings automatically according to your location.
Are the Prayer Times in Saint-Norbert accurate?
We have explained above what calculation method is used to show the prayer times for Saint-Norbert. However, it is possible that your local mosque is using a different method. If this is the case then we recommend you to follow the prayer times of your local mosque. In addition, we would greatly appreciate it if you take the time to inform us by using the contact form about the differences so we can adjust the prayer times of Saint-Norbert.
