In web3js, I can use below code to get private key and wallet address from mnemonic. But how can I get private key if user has mnemonic and extra-word from MEW
const ethers = require('ethers');
let mnemonicWallet = ethers.Wallet.fromMnemonic(mnemonic);
enter image description here
The "Extra Word" is a BIP-39 passphrase. It looks like you're using Ethers.js, so you can do something like this:
const { utils, Wallet } = require('ethers');
const hdNode = HDNode.fromMnemonic(mnemonic, passphrase).derivePath(utils.defaultPath);
const wallet = new Wallet(hdNode);
The fromMnemonic function does not provide a way to specify a passphrase directly, but this essentially does what fromMnemonic does with the extra passphrase.

This paper studies whether the transition from a centrally planned to a market economy offers new perspectives for those who, in economic terms, were relatively deprived under the old regime. Previous empirical research on this question has been limited by the availability of representative longitudinal micro-data that track individuals' labour market careers across different political regimes. Our study seeks to fill this research gap by looking at the transition of Eastern Germany following German Unification. Using a unique large-scale German administrative data set, we measure individuals' relative economic position by exploiting information on whether individuals were in the bottom of the pre-unification wage distribution. We then address the question of how workers' low or high-wage status determines their wage and labour market status within and across different regimes. We document strong evidence of a dynamic selection process into low-wage employment after Unification. Furthermore, consistent with a weak connection between individuals' true productivity and their pre-unification low-wage status, the extent of across regime state dependence is found to be small in magnitude and appears to vanish over time. For males, the small extent of across regime dependence is found to be most pronounced among the medium and high-skilled, suggesting the depreciation of general human capital as a potential explanation.

I know that an infinite set can be partitioned into 2 infinite subsets.
Can one partition an infinite set into finitely many infinite subsets?
share|improve this question
Are you asking that given an infinite set, can that set be partitioned into $n$ infinite sets for all $n$? – ferson2020 Jan 30 '13 at 16:26
In fact, you can also partition it into infinitely many infinite sets. For example, with the set $\mathbb N$, you can let $A_n=\{k\in\mathbb N\mid k=2^nm\text{ with }m\text{ odd}\}$ for $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ – Hagen von Eitzen Jan 30 '13 at 16:30
Let $n$ be given. Partition the integers into those that are multiples of $n$, those that leave a remainder of 1 when divided by $n$, those that leave a remainder of 2 when divided by $n$,... and those that leave a remainder of $n-1$ when divided by $n$. – MJD Jan 30 '13 at 17:20
2 Answers 2
Well, if you can do it with 2, you can keep partitioning one of them.

Ok, thanks Andreas. – student Jan 30 '13 at 16:26
Of course. We do it by induction.
Theorem: If $A$ is an infinite set and $n>0$ is a natural number then we can write $A$ as a disjoint union of $n$ infinite sets.
Proof. For $n=1$ this is obvious, so we actually start with $n=2$.
For $n=2$ we can do it because every infinite set can be split into two infinite sets.
Suppose that we can split $A$ into $n$ parts, $A_1,\ldots, A_n$. Each is infinite, split $A_n$ into $B$ and $C$, and so the partition $A_1,\ldots,A_{n-1},B,C$ is a partition of $A$ into $n+1$ parts. $\square$

Can You Freeze Rice Pudding?
Rice pudding is an all-around great dish. It combines some of the most basic ingredients to form a scrumptious treat for the whole family. This yummy dish is the perfect dessert, an excellent snack, and something that even your baby can eat.
One of the only sweet treats that are also really healthy, and an easy guilt-free treat for a down day. But for all the effort that it takes to make this delicious pudding, it doesn't have a very long shelf life.
That's why freezing is an excellent option, despite its two main ingredients being extremely temperature-sensitive.
Milk is a dairy product that is well-known for being difficult to freeze, and rice is also extremely sensitive. This means there will likely be structural and textual changes to the ingredients once they freeze.
Despite this, rice pudding actually freezes surprisingly well. So there's no need to worry if you've made too big a batch, you can easily freeze the excess.
You can even make a batch of rice pudding ahead for easy access to this sweet treat in the future. Just follow this guide, and freezing rice pudding will be easy.
How to freeze rice pudding
If you decide that you want to freeze your rice pudding, the process is extremely easy. The most important step is the first one, and once you've done this, the entire process is simple.
You have to wait until the rice pudding has cooled before beginning the freezing process. If the pudding is not cooled thoroughly, this will affect the texture of the rice pudding and potentially make it inedible when defrosted.
If you are short on time and need the rice pudding to cool quickly so that you can freeze it, there are ways around this. The most common way is to give the pudding an ice bath. This accelerates the cooling process by exposing the warm pudding to cold water.
To do this you simply transfer the rice pudding from the pan into an airtight container. You can then seal the container and submerge it in water which is ice cold for roughly 20 minutes. This will cool the pudding to a temperature that is freezer safe.
If you decide to let the pudding cool naturally, the first step once it has cooled is transferring to an airtight, freezer-safe container. You should fill the container up until it has about 2-inches left at the top.
The water content of the rice pudding will expand when frozen and cause the entire mixture to fill the container.
You should then place a layer of saran wrap across the pudding before sealing with the lid. Once this is completed you can simply label the container with the date of freezing, and lay flat in your freezer to avoid any spillages.
How to defrost rice pudding
Once frozen, rice pudding can last up to 3 months in the freezer. But for the best taste experience, it should be eaten as soon as possible because the texture and flavor will deteriorate the longer it has been frozen.
When you decide to eat your frozen rice pudding, the defrosting process is just as easy as the freezing process. You can simply take the container of rice pudding out of the freezer and place it in the fridge.
Leave the container in the fridge overnight and come morning you will find that the rice pudding has thawed thoroughly. You should never leave the rice pudding to defrost at room temperature. It has a high milk content, and this will cause the pudding to turn quicker and become inedible.
Depending on your preference, you can then either reheat the pudding or eat cold. If you prefer your rice pudding chilled then you're good to go. But if you prefer it heated, you have a few options for how to do this.
The most common is to reheat the rice pudding on the hob. This method ensures that the mixture has heated thoroughly and also allows you to give the pudding a good stir before you eat it.
Simply simmer the mixture in a saucepan over low heat, once it has reached your desired temperature you can then add your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Alternatively, you may choose to reheat the rice pudding in a microwave. This is a very easy option, but you must add a cup of water to the mixture before heating it. The microwave is likely to dry out the mixture, so the water will counteract this and allow you to enjoy your meal.
Factors to consider before freezing RICE PUDDING
As is most common with freezing things, there are some factors that you should consider before choosing to freeze your excess rice pudding.
The first is the ingredients you use to make the rice pudding. This is especially important if you are making a batch of rice pudding intending to freeze.
One great way to give your rice pudding a longer shelf life is by using a milk alternative. Rice pudding is commonly made with whole milk, but this has an extremely short shelf life which can be affected by freezing.
To improve the texture and consistency of your pudding once defrosted, you should consider using a milk alternative such as evaporated, condensed, or even coconut milk.
You should also consider the type of rice that you use. Long grain rice tends to make for drier and denser rice pudding, whereas short grain tends to be a lot more watery.
Consider which will freeze better and choose accordingly. Alternatively, if you plan on making rice pudding exclusively to freeze you could replace the milk with water to freeze.
This will provide the pudding with a longer shelf life, and allows you to add fresh milk to the recipe when you are reheating it.
In short, the answer is yes, rice pudding is freezable.
You can easily freeze your excess rice pudding to enjoy in the future.
Alternatively, if you are making a batch of rice pudding to freeze for the future there are some changes you can make to the recipe to give it a longer shelf life.
Different ingredients can cause changes to the texture, so follow this guide for the best freezer-friendly rice pudding.

Following the line of the article posted by A.Riazi, Solving engineering problem using MATLAB C API, I will show in this small example how to use M Functions inside our VC++ 6 project.
The project calculates the convolution of two vectors, and shows the resulting vector in the MsChart control. The function that performs the convolution is written in MatLab and then through the MatLab Add-in converted to C code ready to be used inside our app.
You need Visual Studio 6 and MatLab Release 12 installed with the MatLab C Library and Matlab Compiler.
Installing the MatLab Add-in
The add-in automates the integration of M-files into Visual C++ projects. The add-in for Visual Studio is automatically installed on your system when you run either mbuild -setup or mex -setup and select Microsoft Visual C/C++ version 6. In order to use the add-in you must follow these steps:
- Start MatLab, in the prompt type mbuild -setup
- Follow the menus and choose MS Visual C++6.0.
- Type the following commands in the matlab prompt :
These commands save the MatLab path to a file called mccpath in your user preferences directory (prefdir), ussually inside your documents and settings file. The path is used by the add-in because it runs outside Matlab and there is no other way for it to determine your Matlab path. If you add new directories to your Matlab path you will have to rerun this command if you want the add-in to see them.
- Configure the Matlab Add-in for Visual Studio 6 to work within MSVisual C++.
- Open MSVisualC++.
- Select Tools -> Customize from the MSVC menu.
- Click on the Add-ins and Macro Files tab.
- Check MATLAB for Visual Studio on the Add-ins and Macro Files list and click Close.
The floating MATLAB add-in for Visual Studio toolbar appears. The checkmark directs MSVC to automatically load the add-in when you start MSVC again.
Calculating the convolution in Matlab
We will write a simple function in MatLab that will perform the convolution of two vectors:
In2 and store the result in
We actually can use any matlab built-in function or toolbox function inside our function here we use only the function conv for simplicity.
%Returns the convolution of vector IN1 and IN2
Save the function with the name MyFunc.m
Writing the Application
Use the MFC AppWizard (exe) option to generate a Dialog Based Application and call it conv. Create a Button which will calculate the convolution of two given vectors.
Add the code below to the button's Message Handler.
Copy MyFunc.m into your VC++ project directory. Now go to the MatLab Add-in and click the.m++ (Add m-files to current project) button:
Select Windows Console Exe from the Combo Box and check Generate main file and debug mode. Press OK.
Then select the MyFunc.m file and click Open. After a while you will see new files added to your project.
Under MATLAB M-files you will see our MyFunc.m, you can even edit it from inside Visual C++. Under MATLAB C/C++ are MyFunc.c and MyFunc_main.c, generated by the MatLab Compiler. And all the headers needed by the compiler.
We can't build the app yet, we must add the following lines to convDlg.cpp:
Now the project should be built without any problem.
Points of Interest
The steps described here don't include the MSChart part, you can see it from the source code, but you can see that the calculation is done by placing a breakpoint inside the button message handler and checking the value of the
res vector after the line:
Well I hope this simple article be interesting for MatLab lovers, this is the first article I wrote, so I apologize if it is not clear enough. I will be glad to explain anything if you ask me. Greetings.

Definition - What does Home Key mean?
The Home key is a key found on most physical and virtual keyboards and is supported by most operating systems. The Home key is supported by certain software applications as well. The primary functionality of the Home key in most applications is to return the cursor to the beginning of a line, document, page, screen or worksheet cell based on the position of the cursor.
Techopedia explains Home Key
The Home key helps in navigation of applications or a word processing programs. It is most commonly used to make the cursor move to the beginning of the line in a text editing program. The Home key has the opposite functionality of the End key.
Keyboards which do not have a Home key, usually due to limited size, can achieve the same functionality with the combination of a function key and the left arrow key. If a document is not editable, the Home key can help in scrolling the scrollable document to the beginning in operating systems like Microsoft and Linux. This is in addition to the functionality involving text editing applications, where the Home key can help return the cursor to the beginning of the document or the current line. Along with other function keys, the Home key can provide different functions like selecting all characters in a selectable text before the cursor, by pressing a combination of the Home and Shift keys simultaneously. In software applications, the Home key can have different functions such as reaching the menu screen.

History of the School
The Upper School building was originally opened in 1933 as the "Markhams Chase Primary School". At this time Laindon was a scattered rural community. Children came to the school from a large surrounding area.
It continued to serve the community until the building of the "Basildon New Town" caused a change to the intake area of the school. As the New Town reached Markhams Chase, hundreds of new families moved into the area and we became one of the largest schools in the town
The original Headteacher, Janet Duke, retired in 1964; this was when the current lower school building was opened as the Infant School. The schools were renamed Janet Duke Infant and Janet Duke Junior in recognition of the lifetime work and contribution that Miss Janet Duke had made to the school and community.
The Upper School building is traditional, being built of red brick with modern classrooms and the original hall. The lower school building is a more modern structure with large classrooms complete with cloakroom facilities. The school has a light, spacious hall that is used for assembly times, physical education lessons and as a dining hall.
The kitchen is an integral part of the school building. Meals are cooked here for the whole school.
There is a link corridor that was opened in April 2012 that joins the lower and upper school buildings allowing for free flow movement of pupils and staff across the school. This corridor is named 'Willets Walk Way' in recognition of Chris Willets, the school's site manager, on his retirement after 19 years service to the school.

Gmail Child Account
I was visiting a friend the other day and his young child was complaining that she wanted an e-mail address. She wanted one to keep in touch with her aunt and uncle, who had told her to e-mail them. My friend explained to her that she could use his, but she wanted one with her name in it. My friend was wary of creating one for her, because of all the bad spam she'd get and he also wondered how he would be able to monitor her account.
Well, when I went home, I did some research and found out that users of the Gmail e-mail program can create a parent and child account. Cool, huh?! Read on for some more details.
If you want to create a sub-account (child account), just follow these directions:
1.) Log in to your Gmail account.
2.) In the upper right hand corner, click Settings.
3.) Select the link that says Accounts. Below that, select the link that says "Add another e-mail address."
4.) When asked what e-mail address you'd like, type your Gmail user name, followed by a plus sign and the name of the child's account, with no spaces. For example, if your Gmail address was _EMAIL_ and the child's name was Jenna, you'd type in _EMAIL_. When you have finished, click the Next Step button.
5.) Now, when your child goes to compose an e-mail, in the From: drop down menu, they can select their account instead of yours.
Any messages or replies sent to that account will appear in your Inbox and you can tell your child when they have a new message. It's the perfect way to give your child what they want, but still keep a close eye on what they do while on the Internet.
You can even create multiple child accounts. Heck, they don't even necessarily have to be for a child. They can be for whatever you like!
Not a shabby deal, huh?!

Iranian Researchers Separate Hydrogen from Methane with 100% Efficiency
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian researchers at Kashan University and Research Institute of Petroleum Industry (RIPI) separated hydrogen from methane with an efficiency of 99.99% by hybrid synthesizing of a nanoadsorbant.
Hydrogen has numerous applications in various fields, among which is the use of hydrogen in hydrocracking process.
No source has so far been known in order to obtain pure hydrogen. In order to fulfill the needs of industry, this material is prepared by using water-gas substitution (WGS) reaction through chemical processes. Therefore, the raw materials and the products except hydrogen must be separated from hydrogen in order to obtain pure hydrogen. Since methane is the raw material of the reaction, hydrogen should first be separated from methane, and then it should be transferred to other processes.
The researchers studied the deposition of carbon nanostructures on the active carbon made of walnut shell (which was chemically activated by using KOH). Results of the experiment showed that methane adsorption increased 17.92% for the deposition of nanofiber carbon on the active carbon. However, the increase in methane adsorption did not affect the amount of hydrogen adsorption.
Their experiments also showed that the carbon adsorbent hybridized by carbon nanofibers can separate a mixture of methane and hydrogen with equal concentrations of the compounds up to 99.99, and the outlet gas contained 99.99% pure hydrogen. Commercial adsorbents can purify hydrogen up to 73.80% at standard conditions.
The results of the research have been published in the February 15 edition of the Chemical Engineering Journal.

Power Absorption
Power Information
To absorbs magical powers leaving the original owner without any of their powers.
 - Point hand at target
 - Through touch (may involve killing the victim or when using artifacts)
Defensive Power
Image Gallery
Power Absorption is the ability to absorb magical powers, leaving the original owner without their powers. It is often accomplished by killing the power's original host and then taking the power, but has been done without killing the original host.
Methods of Power AbsorptionEdit
Warlocks absorb the powers of other magical beings by killing the host and naturally obtaining their magic. Their most common targets are witches, though they go after demons and whitelighters as well.
The Slime Demon used this power to feed on the magic of other beings for survival, as did the Spider demon along with her Life Draining power. However, they used different methods: for example; The Slime Demon would engulf the foe with its slimy figure and digests them, while The Spider Demon would wrap her victims in a cocoon of webs and drain their powers through her hands
The Dogan had the power to absorb the Essence of other magical beings, good or evil by killing them, absorbing their powers and the beings themselves through his hands in the process. The method used by Zankou was the same.
The Titans had the power to absorb the abilities of other magical beings by pointing both hands at them.
Cole Turner was also able to absorb powers through touch while he was in the Demonic Wasteland. Though it's unknown if he can do that outside of Wasteland.
Parasite Demons were a duo of demons cursed by a witch, reducing them to a powerless state, forcing them the absorb other beings' life force and powers to live.
Sirk had the power to absorb the abilities of other magical beings, by killing them. He gained Paige Matthews ability to access magic school when he killed her. He also gains random powers for each kill, whether his victim is magical or not.
All warlocks have the innate ability to absorb the power of the beings they kill by stabbing them with an athame. However, Matthew Tate had the ability to copy the powers used on him without killing the victim.
Certain Athames are able to naturally absorb a being's powers into the blade and then into the wielder. It is commonly used by Warlocks to kill witches and steal/store their powers.
The Hollow can absorb all powers that it comes in physical contact with. Once the Hollow is contained, the powers are returned.
The Crystal Sword was a formidable magical weapon formerly owned by Gabriel Statler which could absorb the powers and skills of other magical beings.
Drake dè Mon, a former Mercury demon, once made a Deal with a Sorcerer to be made human, with a soul, but if Drake used his powers in an offensive manner, they would be forfeit to the Sorcerer.
Spells and RitualsEdit
A witch can use a spell to extract the power of Empathy from someone: To Relinquish an Empath's Power. However, the power will find a new host, the spell caster, if physical contact is established during the spell. However, the power of empathy will drive the witch insane if they were never meant to have it, and will die within 24 hours unless the power is withdrawn.
A witch can also use a spell to steal another witch's magic: To Separate a Witch from Her Powers. While witches can use this spell to take someone's magic into themselves, they can also redirect it to someone they intend to give the power to. Gail Altman, Amanda and Helen used this spell to deliver the Charmed Ones' powers to the demon Cryto. The spell is used once again by the Stillman sisters to steal the Charmed Ones' powers for themselves.
In the spell to separate a witch's power, there is also a potion required for the spell to work properly. Zankou used this potion to steal the Charmed Ones' powers. However, the potion is useless if the witch it targets is in astral mode.
Offensive UsageEdit
Power absorption is mostly used to weaken one's opponents, draining them and leaving them powerless to fight while adding the absorbed powers and magic to one's own arsenal. In the case of the Hollow or the Parasite Demons, they absorb the magic of the powers or potions used on them, granting them a form of immunity towards attacks, but they vary in the fact that The Hollow can automatically absorb the powers used on it or its host(s) but the Parasite Demons have to do it consciously, leaving them vulnerable to attack when caught off-guard.
List of UsersEdit
Original power
Through artifacts, potions, etc.
 1. Through the use of an Athame.
 2. Through the Crystal Sword.
 3. While in the the Demonic Wasteland.

Streamline Chub (Erimystax dissimilis)
The Streamline Chub is found in several disjunct populations in the Ohio River Drainage from Alabama to New York, including the Tennessee and Cumberland river drainages. They are found in riffles and runs of large streams and rivers over rock and gravel bottoms. As the common name suggests, Streamline Chubs have a "streamline" body shape that is long and slender to help maintain their position in swift water. They are disappearing throughout their range due to reservoir construction and siltation.

Planning algorithm for training cosmonauts in ISS
We consider the problem of trainings planning on ISS. Shown that the problem is a combination of a k Partition Problem and an Assignment Problem. NP-compleeteness is proofed. A heuristic and an exact algorithms are proposed.
We consider the problem of planning the ISS cosmonaut training with different objectives. A pre-defined set of minimum qualification levels should be distributed between the crew members with minimum training time differences, training expenses or a maximum of the training level with a limitation of the budget. First, a description of the cosmonaut training process is given. The model are considered for the volume planning problem. The objective of the model is to minimize the differences between the total time of the preparation of all crew members. Then two models are considered for the timetabling planning problem. For the volume planning problem, two algorithms are presented. The first one is aheuristic with a complexity of O(n) operations. The second one consists of a heuristic and exact parts, and it is based on the npartition problem approach.
The central question that motives this paper is the problem of making up a freight train and the routes on the railway. It is necessary from the set of orders available at the stations to determine time-scheduling and destination routing by railways in order to minimize the total completion time. In this paper it was suggested formulation of this problem by applying integer programming.
We consider the problem of planning the cousmonaut's time in ISS with given set of tasks, time planning horizon and load constraints. Shown that the problem is NP-hard in a strong sense. The heuristic algorithm was proposed. Proved that proposed algorithm is exact for problem with requirement of performing all tasks. Program C++ was written and algorithm's work was qualitatively analyzed.
In this article, the fairdivision problem for two participants in the presence of both divisible and indivisibleitems is considered. Three interrelated modifications of the notion of fairdivision–profitably, uniformly and equitably fairdivisions–were introduced. Computationally efficient algorithm for finding all of them was designed. The algorithm includes repetitive solutions of integer knapsack-type problems as its essential steps. The necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence of proportional and equitable division were found. The statements of the article are illustrated by various examples.
In this paper, we will show that the width of simplices defined by systems of linear inequalities can be computed in polynomial time if some minors of their constraint matrices are bounded. Additionally, we present some quasi-polynomial-time and polynomial-time algorithms to solve the integer linear optimization problem defined on simplices minus all their integer vertices assuming that some minors of the constraint matrices of the simplices are bounded.

The reason for using a hood is to block light rays from elements outside of the actual frame (stray light) to enter into the lens and degrade the image quality (lowering contrast). Effectively, it "shades" the lens from these rays. Since a sensor is rectangular, valid light rays that fall on the corners arrive from angles larger than light rays that fall on the middle of the sensor's edge. This is why many hoods have the "petal" form. Otherwise you will suffer from either vignetting at the frame corners, or lower effectiveness in blocking invalid rays.
With increasing focal length, the petal shape becomes less required and there is a transition to circular shape. Another reason for circular hoods is rotating front elements of the lens, where the hood is mounted. When focusing, the element (and hood) rotates so if you use petal hood it will lose its alignment with the sensor.


Question: How Do You Remove Pencil Marks Without Eraser?
Why is my eraser hard?
Why do pencil erasers get hard.
Because it works by "absorbing" the pencil lead and over time that makes it brittle or harden.
Dirt and lead and all kinds of stuff it comes into contact with just hardens over it..
What should I do if my kneaded eraser is hard?
If it is too stiff, break it into pieces and knead each piece until it is no longer stiff. If that doesn't work, rinse it under warm water, then knead it. What happens if you stretch a kneaded eraser farther than you should? If you stretch it too much, it will break apart easily.
Why can't you erase colored pencil?
Colored pencils are mostly wax/oil that holds the pigment, so rubber won't pick up their marks easily like graphite–you'll probably find that an eraser just smudges colored pencil.
What is the best pencil eraser?
How do you make a homemade kneaded eraser?
You can make a kneaded eraser out of pretty much any solid eraser that you have, even the one on the end of a pencil, just by rubbing it on a piece of paper to create crumbs and then kneading the crumbs together into a putty.
How do you completely remove pencil marks?
How to Clean StainsErase it! That's right, try the eraser. … Liquid Detergent. If a soft eraser failed to remove the stain, apply a few drops of liquid detergent to the affected area and rub gently with a soft, damp cloth. … All Purpose Cleaner. … Vegetable Oil. … Baby Wipes. … Toothpaste.
Can you erase colored pencil marks?
One technique is to apply a small amount of solvent to the area you want to fix, which will loosen the colored pencil marks, and then use the electric eraser over the area. … It's also a good idea to observe how the paper reacts to the eraser, because some papers can handle erasing better than others.
What is the easiest pencil to erase?
The more easily a graphite mark will smudge – the more easily it will erase. So no matter how lightly you draw with a hard pencil (6H) it will be harder to erase than a soft pencil (HB or 2B).
What can be used instead of eraser?
Eraser Alternatives for Pencil Marksrubber bands (Depending on the type, they're as effective as standard erasers.)the edge of a sneaker.white flexible earphone cords.the sole of a Chukka Boot or a Bass Weejuns boat shoe.a scrap of art paper folded four times—good for lifting lead.
How do you revive a pencil eraser?
Dip the eraser into the water. Gently knead it and squeeze it with your fingers until you can feel it begin to soften. Find a paper towel and dry the eraser. Place it in a cool dry place to completely dry to normalcy.
Can you erase pencil marks on a canvas?
John, if you have it on a stretched canvas, put a block of some kind back behind the pencil so you can use more force with the eraser. It should be a hard eraser like the Staedtler white eraser. If it's mounted on a board, do the same but without the block.
What happens if you put an eraser in the microwave?
Microwaving these "rubbers" will melt them, leaving a mess inside your oven. You also shouldn't microwave these. … People also ask, can an eraser melt plastic? Eraser Melts Plastic.
Does pencil wash out of clothes?
Have you ever noticed pencil marks and stains on your clothes? … Removing them from washable fabrics such as cotton, linen, or polyester can be as simple as using a soft eraser to get rid of the stain (just as long as you are being cautious as not to ruin the fabric you're working with).
What can you do with old erasers?
9 Extremely Useful Things You Can Do With Pencil ErasersStabilize A Frame. Tired of picture frames that are always tilting to one side and scuffing up your walls? … Remove Adhesive Residue. … Erase Scuff Marks. … Save An Earring. … Keep Track Of Pins. … Keep Shoes Shiny. … Plant Seeds Perfectly. … Revive Rechargeable Batteries.More items…•
How can I decorate my eraser?
Decorate Your ErasersChoose the scrapbook paper you want to use. … Glue one end (I used mod podge and it worked very well) to the edge of the existing eraser cover. … Brush on a light layer of mod podge around the entire eraser cover. … Let the covers dry and put them back on the erasers.

The Shadower - Realistic Drop Shadows in Javascript
December 4, 2006
This has been done before, but not in such a simple and elegant way, in my opinion. This implementation has four important features that separate it from the rest: no images, no messy nested divs in your html code, no CSS, and realistic fading shadows! It is based on the Prototype Javascript Framework, and requires version 1.5, which you can get here.
Some Examples
Other drop shadow libraries that eschew images, provide their shadow by adding an absolutely positioned div just behind the object. Like so...
Example 1
(Drag Me Around)
I think you'll agree that that looks pretty bad. But it's a lot better with a little opacity tweak...
Example 2
(Drag Me Around)
But it still just looks like a gray box under there, doesn't it? That's where the magic of The Shadower comes in. Rather than just one gray box, it uses several successively smaller boxes stacked on top of each other to create a realistic drop shadow that really fades into the background.
Example 3
(Drag Me Around)
Now, doesn't that look better? Drag it up next to the others if you aren't convinced.
So how do I use it?
There are five parameters to play with in getting your drop shadow just right.
distance [default: 8]
The distance away from the shadowed element to draw the shadow. This can also be thought of as the height "above the page" of the shadowed object
angle [default: 130]
The direction away from the shadowed element to draw the shadow. It is measured in degrees from the vertical. If you think of it like the numbers on a clock, 12 is at 0°, 3 is at 90°, 6 is at 180°, 9 is at 270°, etc. The default angle of 130 would be between 3 and 4 on the clock face.
opacity [default: 0.7]
The opacity of the shadow, measured between 0.0 and 1.0.
nestedShadows [default: 4]
This is the number of gradually darker shadows to draw under the shadowed element.
color [default: #000000]
This is the color of the shadow. The default black color is good enough for most uses, but you can change it if you want.
Go ahead! Play with it!
Test Example
(Drag Me Around)
Presets: Example 1Example 2Example 3
Ideally, you should set a CSS class on any elements that you want shadowed, and then call Shadower.shadowWithClass() on page load. Like so...
This div is shadowed
So what are you waiting for? Download it and start using it!
I have not yet tested this on all browsers. If you have any problems, please either leave a comment on this blog entry or email me at erikwordpressplugins -atgmail.

How To Photograph Cigarette Smoke (Step By Step)
Although we really shouldn't condone smoking due to its health implications, as artists, we have to admit that there is something really beautiful about the smoke itself. From the patterns it creates to how smoke dances in the light, there is a lot of opportunity for stunning images at the butt of a cigarette. Here is our step-by-step guide on how to take advantage of this phenomena!
Step 1: Choose the Right Lens
Everything comes down to how the final image looks! Although the camera plays a much more minor role in this specific type of photography, the lens plays a tremendous one. The optics you are using will affect perspective, field of view, and the depth of field.
First thing's first, determine how close or far away from the smoke you will be. For the most part, photographers choose standard lenses or telephoto lenses for this type of work, rather than wide angle lenses.
Wide angle lenses have a wide field of view, not really useful for something like cigarette smoke which can be fairly small!
Standard lenses range from 35mm all the way to 70mm and are amongst the easiest lenses to use because they feature no distortion (the glass is flat). Standard lenses are the closest to the human eye and what you see, which makes these millimeters popular choices for easier photography compositions. These lenses are also commonly seen with wide apertures, which is great for smoke photography because you can just focus on the smoke and blur the rest of the background away.
You may not initially consider telephoto lenses for smoke photography, but they can actually work out really great! Telephoto lenses are long lenses that can remind you a bit of a telescope. These lenses can zoom you very close to your subject! They range in millimeters from 70mm all the way to 300mm. Although commonly used by sport and animal photographers, there is something magical that happens when you use a telephoto lens for non-sporting subjects: the zoom range actually creates an optical compression when used, which creates more flattering proportions and perspective on whatever subject you capture! Plus the bonus of not needing to be near the smoke.
So needless to say, step one is determining the lens you want to use.
Step 2: Find a Good Light Source
Next, you need to find a good light source. Even when looking at smoke with the naked eye, you may have noticed that it tends to disappear in direct light and really shows its shape prominently in backlighting. As such, you need to apply these principles to your smoke photography.
Look for a light source that positions behind your subject rather than in front. As well, it's a good idea to have the light source be behind but from below so it doesn't overtake the smoke and cause it to be lost as well!
You can do this with natural, ambient light that is available at your shooting location or with an artificial light. Video lights that are continuous and don't flash work very nicely.
Step 3: Adjust Camera Settings
Now, the trickier part… camera settings. Camera settings are very dependent upon your location, the type of lighting, and the type of look you're wanting to capture. Set the camera to M (Manual) mode and focus on the exposure equation:
The ISO controls how the sensor responds to the light that hits it, whether it's sensitive to the light (because there is less of it) or not very sensitive to the light (because there is more of it).
The shutter speed is how fast your camera takes the photograph.
The aperture controls how much light does (or doesn't) hit your sensor.
For cigarette smoke photography, you'll likely want to freeze the smoke so you can capture it dancing in the air, so the priority will be your shutter speed first. The higher the shutter speed number, the more frozen the action will be (but the photograph will be darker). The lower the shutter speed number, the more motion blur your photograph will have (but the photograph will be lighter). For smoke, a minimum shutter speed of 1/300 can suffice.
Next, you'll probably want to make sure that the smoke is nicely isolated from the background and foreground. The lower the aperture number, the more light the camera lets in. The higher the aperture number, the less light the camera lets in. The lower the aperture number, the shallower the depth of field. The larger the aperture number, the deeper the depth of field. An F/2.8 is pretty excellent. Now, to go back to lens choice, the widest aperture is determined by the lensnot the camera. If you have an F/4 lens, for example, it cannot widen to F/2.8.
Then, you'll need to find an ISO that balances out the shutter speed and aperture setting. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive the camera is to light (but the less noise the photograph has). The higher the ISO number, the more sensitive the camera is to light (but the more noise the photograph has). Noise are the obnoxious little specks you see in photographs.
As well as this, cameras can sometimes have a hard time focusing on cigarette smoke because it can be so pale and fleeting. To help with focus, set your camera to the proper autofocus mode. By default, your camera is set to One-Shot right out of the box. One-Shot achieves automatic focus on your subject for only one image, not applicable for moving smoke. As such, switch the camera over to Continuous Focus. For this, the camera's focus keeps refocusing on the subject as it moves.
Then, utilize your Autofocus Points. These points tell you (and the camera) where to focus. Each point refers to an area the camera is able to focus on. By switching to a mode such as AF Selection, you can tell the camera exactly what points you need it to use to focus on your subject!
Step 4: Compose the Shot
Composition is everything! Composition is the arrangement of everything in a shotfrom the subject, to the background, and even the foreground.
For smoke, because it is something that moves, the primary compositional rule you'll want to focus on is the sense of implied movement. Implied sense of movement means the direction that you think the movement will go in a still image. How this factors into composition is that you always want to leave more negative space in the direction of implied movement. This keeps your photograph from feeling claustrophobic or too abruptly cropped.
So if the smoke is blowing to the left, you want more negative space to the left of the frame, to give the smoke some room to go!
Step 5: Direct Your Subject and Click!
You don't want to run out of smoke before you're ready to take the shot! Direct your subject to light the cigarette and start puffing after you've done the aforementioned four steps. Then aim your camera, get the focus, and take the shot!
In closing, these five simple steps should aid you in capturing some dramatic and fun smoke shots.

PROJECT TITLE :
TCAD-Based Simulation Method for the Electrolyte–Insulator–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor
A simulation method for the electrolyte–insulator–semiconductor field-effect transistor (EISFET)-type sensor is proposed based on a well-established commercialized semiconductor 3-D technology computer-aided design simulator. The proposed method relies on the fact that an electrolyte can be described using a modified intrinsic semiconductor material because of the similarity between the electrolyte and the intrinsic semiconductor. The electrical double layer of the electrolyte is characterized in the simulation using the Gouy–Chapman–Stern model. Using the proposed simulation method, we extract the Debye lengths depending on phosphate buffered saline solutions with various concentrations and demonstrate that it is possible to simulate the screening effect. Furthermore, we investigate the responses of the EISFET-type silicon nanowire pH sensor based on our simulation method, which shows good agreement with the reported Nernst limit value.

70% Smaller PNG Files
CodeKit can reduce PNG file sizes by about 70% with virtually no change in image quality—it's straight-up witchcraft.
To do this, CodeKit uses a tool called PNGQuant, which is written by Kornel Lesiński. Kornel also develops the industry-standard Mac App, ImageOptim. He was kind enough to license PNGQuant to me so that you get the same state-of-the-art optimizer in CodeKit.
The Image Inspector
Select one or more PNG images in CodeKit and you'll see the Image Inspector:
If you don't see this section of the Image Inspector, make sure you've selected only PNG images.
The primary option is which optimizer to run. CodeKit contains two:
- PNGQuant (default)
Which Optimizer Should I Use?
PNGQuant is the right choice 98% of the time. However, it may produce "banding" in images with subtle gradients like fog or clouds. For these images, consider OptiPNG.
OptiPNG is 100% lossless and works by deleting extra metadata and then recompressing your image file. However, since modern image-editing apps already write really efficient PNGs, you'll typically see only about 5% reductions with OptiPNG.
Below 85%, you may start to see "noise" in the optimized image. However, for images containing mostly solid blocks of colors (such as UI elements, screenshots, etc.) setting a lower value can reduce file sizes by 90% or more without any loss in visual quality. (Note: this value does not apply to OptiPNG, which is always 100% lossless.)
A Note About "Initial Size"
This is how large an image was the first time CodeKit ever saw it. The value never changes. So, if you start with a small image (say, 50x50 px) and then replace it with a bigger one (say, 5000x5000 px), it's possible that the current size may be larger than the initial size, even after optimization. In this case, the initial size isn't really accurate because it was set when a smaller file occupied the path.
Output Path & Action
These options apply to files of all types. They are explained in Setting Output Paths & Actions.
Normally, CodeKit will not copy or process a file if its output path is the same as its input path. The exception to this is images.

This paper examines through Marianne Hirsch's theory of postmemory and trauma two performance texts by Aboriginal Australian playwright and theatre director Wesley Enoch. This critical theoretical approach argues that in the absence of reliable historical records, the autobiographical structure of Black Medea (2007) and The 7 Stages of Grieving (1996) positions them as individual as well as collective postmemory and trauma accounts. The paper further argues that the use of silence, gestures, storytelling, and theatre serve as vital tools for documenting the generational continuum of the traumatic Aborigine experiences and the struggle in dealing with the inherited burden of intergenerational trauma.

The 'Scorpion King' Mace head
When was it made and why is it so large?
Egyptian Mace head, AN1896-1908.E3632
When was it made?
About 3100 BC, in the period immediately preceding the unification of Upper and Lower (southern and northern) Egypt under one king - traditionally identified as a powerful ruler from the south.
Why is it so large?
This macehead is about five times the size of a functional one. It's decorated with scenes carved in low relief, and was made for dedication in the temple of the falcon god at Hierakonpolis, possibly to celebrate a victory.

by Jonathan Brisendine – Field & Lab Archaeologist
During the excavation process, one of the common artifacts found on historic sites is glass. So what does this tell us archaeologically other than there was glass here? We classify glass in two major categories Flat and Curved. Flat glass usually pertains to window glass, while curved or hollow usually pertains to you guessed it, bottles. Once we collect all the artifacts in field they are brought back to the lab where they are cleaned then cataloged. From this we can get an accurate amount of each type of glass that was found. Because, of the detailed records we keep of the location of our testing units both the vertical and horizontal location is known. With this information we can draw meaning interpretations from even the most ubiquitous artifacts. Seen below is an imagined example of a historic foundation and the results of the statistical mapping that we could produce once we have gathered the information of the type and frequency of glass once catalogued.
Blue indicates the location where flat glass was found while green indicated where the curved hollow glass was found. What conclusions would you draw from this information? First note the brick structure. Think about structures and where flat glass would most likely be found and why. Also, think about areas of activity inside such a structure. Where would a person store & use hollow glass such as bottles. To see how we might interpret the location of the artifacts, see the image below.


Pathology dictionary
Negative for malignancy
What does negative for malignancy mean?
Negative for malignancy means that no cancer cells were seen when the tissue sample was examined under the microscope. Pathologists use the word malignant to describe cancers.
This result is typically used when only a small sample of tissue is sent for examination under the microscope. This kind of sample could be a biopsy, fine needle aspiration, or Pap smear.
Your pathologist can only provide a diagnosis based on the tissue sample sent for examination. For that reason, negative for malignancy only means that no cancer cells were seen in the small sample examined. If your doctor is still concerned that a cancer may be present, they may recommend performing a second procedure to provide the pathologist with more tissue to examine under the microscope.
The opposite of negative for malignancy is positive for malignancy.

The Jackson deserialize and cast to Integer all numbers if value in range of Integers instead it cast to Long. I would like to cast ALL values to Long. Is it exist easy solution of issue?
share|improve this question
possible duplicate of Forcing Jackson to deserialize to specific primitive type – Fabian Lange Jul 22 at 19:35
1 Answer 1
Jackson deserializes to type you tell it to, so if you declare property to be of type long or Long it would construct it as long. But maybe you are binding to "untyped" structure like Map? If all values are of type Long, you could just declare type appropriately, like:
Map map = objectMapper.readValue(json, new TypeReference>() { });
Alternatively might be able to add custom Deserializer for Object.class with different handling (default deserializer is org.codehaus.jackson.map.deser.UntypedObjectDeserializer).
It might help if I knew what you are actually trying to do -- Integer and Long are both numbers, so often distinction does not matter a lot... so what is the reason to require Longs?
share|improve this answer
The deserialized numbers are IDs of objects that I would like to retrieved through the Hibernate. When I use Integer it throw an exception that it can convert from integer to long. – eugenn Jun 30 '10 at 13:14
Then the easiest way might be to explicitly just convert these, something like 'Long id = numberValue.longValue();'. Unless if map only has numeric values, in which you can declare types as Map (as I mentioned above) – StaxMan Jul 1 '10 at 7:06
_USER_ explicit conversion will become redundant when the IDs become long so wouldn't some form of type casting (e.g. JsonTypeInfo) be preferable? – ajostergaard Aug 24 '13 at 7:02
Jackson does type co(nv)ercions where necessary. So if POJO indicated that long or Long are needed, that's what you'd get. The original post is vague enough that I don't really know enough to know what the right answer is. But polymorphic type inclusion does not seem to be part of the picture. – StaxMan Aug 27 '13 at 17:43

Residual Value or a Balloon Payment Explained
Jacaranda Team

Quality Checked
Taking out loans for various reasons is a smart option in around many parts of the globe, including Australia. The decision to get an advance goes with other choices, such as whether to get a residual value or not. Under certain situations, there is provision for borrowers to use a residual repayment option. Those situations majorly concern leasing of vehicles. Usually, the terms residual and balloon occur interchangeably in financial jargon. You may stumble across some of such terms when talking about loans or leases. Residual values and balloon loans are about to get demystified in this article.
On this page:
 What is a residual value?
 The residual value of a car is suitable for addressing car leases. The residual value refers to the worth of a leased car after the lease period. We all know that vehicles depreciate by a certain percentage over years of usage. Thus there is inevitable depreciation on the worth of the car would be higher before taking a lease than after. The residual value is in a place to tell us that price difference and what the new figure is. This value plays a vital role in the determination of the monthly payments towards the lease. Car lenders or leasers often determine the exact residual value, but there are specific guidelines put in place by the Australian Taxation Organisation (ATO). These guidelines spell out the least amount the residual value of a car can stand at after each year after the lease expires.
 The following are the guidelines put in place by the Australian Taxation Organisation (ATO): For a car lease of 1 year, the minimum residual value will be 65.63% of the original value; for a car lease of 2 years, the minimum residual value will be 56.25% of the actual value; for a car lease of 3 years, the minimum residual value will be 46.88% of the original value; for a car lease of 4 years, the minimum residual value will be 37.5% of the actual value; for a car lease of 5 years, the minimum residual value will be 28.13% of the original value. As is seen from the ATO guidelines, there is a steady and constant decline in the minimum percentage residual value as the years' increase. The monthly payments towards the lease are lower because of the residual value of the car.
 What is a balloon payment?
 A balloon payment is useful for both car loans and car leases. It also deals with the idea of "residual". It is the amount of money which has remained after the majority of the funds or payments are complete. When you take out and loan or a lease, you are required to make regular payments (usually monthly but it subject to the terms of the loan contract). When a balloon payment is involved in the loan, there will also be a specified amount you would need to pay after the loan or lease has expired to retain or acquire full ownership of the vehicle in question. Whenever there's a balloon payment request at the end of the loan, the regular repayments reduce. Balloon payments and residual values can work hand in hand on the same projects.
 Similarities between residual values and balloon payments
 Both the residual value and the balloon payment work with specified quantities after the period of an advance. The two terms refer to an amount paid after the extermination of a lease or loan. While balloon payments are predominately applicable when talking about a loan, and residual values when talking about leases, they both specify that their operations occur at the end of the agreeable debt.
 They both lessen your monthly payments towards your car. Whenever either of the factors into debts, they have the tender to reduce the amount you pay at regular intervals up until the end. The benefit of this system is that since there is an accumulated sum at the end, it leads to freeing up some of the payment burdens and somewhat compiling them at the end.
 Having reduced payments sounds nice but also note that they attract higher interest rates. Though the monthly payments are made cheaper, you often end up spending slightly more on residual and balloon payments car loan than on a regular car loan.
 Differences between the residual value and a balloon payment
 People usually get confused as to whether there is any difference in the usage of both of these terms. Though they are quite similar, there are slight differences between the two of them. Residual values are more accurate in regards to a lease, rather than a loan. The residual value is also an estimated and approximated value of the depression the car will experience after each year. While the balloon payment is technically usable for both car leases and car loans, it tends to talk more about a loan than a lease. Balloon payments are also not a percentage of depreciation or estimated depreciation. The balloon payment is less of an approximate minimisation and more of just cutting off some repayments and piling them up at the end.
 If you have plans to sell the car after the lease for whatever reason, it is a good principle for the balloon payment not to exceed the residual value. In simpler terms, the amount you owe after the loan to be less than the value of the car after the loan. If the value of the vehicle is greater than the balloon payment, you will be at a loss after selling the car because the proceeds from the car will not be enough to cover the balloon payment. You will have to cover the balloon payment will have through some other means.
 The market (car market) is unstable and full of fluctuations. It uses many factors such as depreciation and availability of a specific make, model or year. Before applying for a loan in such an unstable world, one must fully understand all terms and conditions and their workings.

At this point of time 90-95% of Maize is grown under film in Ireland.
The use of film allows maize to be sown 2 – 3 weeks earlier than conventional open crops. Sowing under film creates a micro climate when the plant can be challenged during the first few weeks. This helps to develop a much larger root system which will increase yield and bring harvest date forward. Trial results and experience have shown that certain maize hybrids are more suited to sowing under film than others. Planting dates and growing location should determine the maturity of hybrid to be sown. Other features such as high relative yield and standing ability can identify the appropriate hybrid to be grown.

An abecedarian is a person learning the alphabet, a beginner; a person teaching the alphabet or the basic elements of a subject. [Webster's New World Dictionary] An abecedary is their practice medium.
The oldest known abecedary is the Tel Zayit abecedary. It is confidently dated to the 10th century BC. This practice writing is carved into a 38 pound chunk of limestone - the back of which could be a bowl. The practice nature of this writing is reinforced as the letters are not in the conventional order.
Next time someone is carping about the rigors of keyboarding (oh the carpal tunnel syndrome), remind them that once people had to learn their alphabets by carving the letters in limestone (oh my thumb). Maybe the carving in stone was a final exam.
