How do you ask a girl for pictures?
Here's how to politely and respectfully ask to see more photos of her:
- 1) Begin by starting a conversation! It's better to ask for more photos once you've been talking back and forth a bit, first.
- 2) Wait a couple of solid message exchanges. Get the conversation going first.
- 3) Ask politely to see more pics!
What to say to a girl when she sends you a picture?
- "You have the prettiest eyes."
- "You have the best cheekbones."
- "You Are Gorgeous"
- "You Have Such a Positive Charisma"
- "I Like Your Style"
- "You Hair Looks Amazing"
- "There's Something About You"
- "You are Different than the Other Girls"
Should I ask a girl for pics?
In my experience, the best practices for asking a girl for sending pictures of herself are as following: Don't ask unless you've already gotten to know her a bit and are already somewhat close to her. Don't even think about asking her for more pictures unless she is expressing interest in continuing to talk to you.
How do you ask someone to take a picture?
- Put your camera on the Auto mode. Make it as easy as you can for your potential photographer.
- Look around for someone to take your picture. Some people to look for are:
- Make eye contact and smile. Don't just walk up to your camera and hand it to them.
- Ask them.
- Relax and trust your instincts.
- Thank the person.

A beautiful lava tube in the National Park Thingvellir
Gjábakkahellir (aka 'Little Girl's Cave') is a 360 meter long lava tube located in the National park Thingvellir.
It is easily accessible as there is only 50 meter walk from the road to the opening of the cave and once inside it has all the typical features of a lava tube, the lava falls and shark tooth stalactites being particularly impressive.
The cave floor is covered with large rocks that have fallen from the cave ceiling in the cooling phase of lava field and participants will in places have to use both hands and feet to navigate through the rough terrain.
The cave was first discovered in 1907 when workers were preparing a road between Thingvellir and Geysir for the King of Denmark which at that time ruled Iceland as a colony.
Since then more than a dozen of caves have been discovered in the area and one of those appears just as a hole into the ground within a 20 meter distance from Gjábakkahellir.


The content of circuits and Arduino sketches can vary greatly. Before you get started, there is one simple process for uploading a sketch to an Arduino board that you can refer back to.
Follow these steps to upload your sketch:
 1. Connect your Arduino using the USB cable.
 The square end of the USB cable connects to your Arduino and the flat end connects to a USB port on your computer.
 2. Choose Tools→Board→Arduino Uno to find your board in the Arduino menu.
 You can also find all boards through this menu, such as the Arduino MEGA 2560 and Arduino Leonardo.
 3. Choose the correct serial port for your board.
 You find a list of all the available serial ports by choosing Tools→Serial Port→ comX or /dev/tty.usbmodemXXXXX. X marks a sequentially or randomly assigned number. In Windows, if you have just connected your Arduino, the COM port will normally be the highest number, such as com 3 or com 15.
 Many devices can be listed on the COM port list, and if you plug in multiple Arduinos, each one will be assigned a new number. On Mac OS X, the /dev/tty.usbmodem number will be randomly assigned and can vary in length, such as /dev/tty.usbmodem1421 or /dev/tty.usbmodem262471. Unless you have another Arduino connected, it should be the only one visible.
 4. Click the Upload button.
 This is the button that points to the right in the Arduino environment. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+U for Windows or Cmd+U for Mac OS X.
Now that you know how to upload a sketch, you should be suitably hungry for some more Arduino sketches.

Balloon Hangers are a decorating accessory used to simplify making and hanging latex balloon clusters. Balloon Hangers eliminate the need for tape or wire.
There are two types of Balloon Hangers:
 1. Corner Balloon Hangers: Holds three balloons and is used to hang balloons in corners.
 2. Cluster Balloon Hangers: Comes with two pieces and holds eight balloons. This hanger is used for hanging balloons clusters from the ceiling and to create arches and column displays.
How to use Balloon Hangers
 1. Inflate and tie the latex balloons. It's recommended to make one cluster at a time.
 2. Insert the necks of the balloons, below the knot you tied, into the slits of the hanger.
 3. Once the hanger is complete, use a pushpin to hang it from the ceiling. If this is not an option, it is best to try and test different methods before your event.
How to use Balloon Hangers to create an arch
Use the disc piece from a Cluster Balloon Hanger to make a balloon arch.
 1. Inflate eight balloons and tie them.
 2. Insert one balloon into each slot on the hanger below to the knot.
 3. Feed monofilament line through the center of the hanger
 4. Attach a weight to the bottom of the line.
 5. Keep stacking clusters while feeding monofilament line through the hangers, until the desired size is reached.
Other Ideas
To create balloon columns, use the same method as building an arch, but stack clusters to the desired height.
You can also create free-standing columns by threading the discs down a rod and then insert one end into a planter so it stands upright.

Definition - What does Benzene Ring mean?
Benzene ring is a hexagonal arrangement found in Benzene, an organic chemical compound. The hexagonal arrangement of the benzene ring contains 6 carbon atoms, which have single or double bonds between them. Each of the carbon atoms within the ring is tied with a hydrogen atom. In some cases, the carbon atom maybe bonded with either a single atom or a group of atoms. The hexagonal arrangement is found in the molecules of the benzene as well as its derivatives. It is a natural component of crude oil in the petroleum industry. Due to its high octane number, it is an important constituent of the gasoline.
Petropedia explains Benzene Ring
Benzene ring molecule consists of 6 carbon atoms, having 1 hydrogen atom attached to each of the carbon atoms in the shape of a ring. Its chemical formula is C6H6 and this organic chemical compound is the most natural element of crude oil. Benzene is classified as a hydrocarbon, since its molecules have only carbon and hydrogen. Due to its high octane number in its molecular structure, it is an important constituent of gasoline making it an important fuel for engine; with ell as its derivatives. It is a natural component of crude oil in the petroleum industry.

Brno - Freedom Square
This is probably the most important square in Brno and is the imaginary center of the city. In the past, it was known as Lower Market or the Great Square. It has a roughly triangular layout and was first mentioned in the 13th century. Even in the Middle Ages, this was considered "uptown", where rich burghers and noblemen built their stately homes.
The last major reconstruction of the entire area took place in 2006.

If you hear a flight attendant give a little sigh when you order a Diet Coke, you're about to learn why. According to a flight attendant on the flight blog These Golden Wings, Diet Coke takes the longest amount of time to pour. The author explains that high altitude makes carbonated drinks foam up more, and Diet Coke is the worst. The blog entry reads, "Pouring Diet Coke is one the biggest slow-downs in bar service and on shorter flights those precious seconds count!" A study by Illinois State University confirms that Diet Coke has higher levels of carbon dioxide than regular Coke, making it more fizzy, even on the ground.

Let $A$ be a non-empty set and consider $S(A)$ the set of all bijective functions from $A$ to itself, with composition as group operation. Fix $a_0 \in A$. Define $H = \{f \in S(A): f(a_0) = a_0\}$. Prove that $H$ is a subgroup of $S(A)$.
does this tell me $a_0$ is an identity or that $f(a_0)$ is an identity? I am assuming I need to use something to do with subgroup theorems but I am having trouble understanding how to use these.
Ok that makes more sense since $f(a_0)$ = $a_0$ and $g(a_0)$ = $a_0$ we can conclude that $f^{-1}$ $f(a_0)$ = $f^{-1}$ $a_0$ so we know $f^{-1}$ is in the set? So $f^{-1}$ $g(a_0) $= $a_0$ and the by the theorem we may conclude $H$ is a subgroup of G?
As a side note would love to know WHERE you guys find the element signs and how to put subscripts on things if you could link me to a list of stuff you can put into here with some instructions.
Someone has pointed me a direction a few times but i have never found something I understood. I am not a programer but if I can find a lost of things I am sure I can figure it out usually I just search until I find a post with what I want click edit and take the symbols I want but if theirs instructions somewhere I would very much appreciate that.

$H = \{f \in S(A): f(a_0) = a_0\}$ is the set of bijective functions in $S(A)$ such that $f$ maps $a_0$ to $a_0$.
Here, $a_0$ is a fixed element which every bijective function in $S(A)$ that maps $a_0$ to itself is a member. $H$ includes the identity map/function, but not all $f \in H$ are the identity function.
To prove $H$ is a subgroup of $S(A)$:
 - Clearly, $H$ includes as its identity $f_I$, the identity map of $S(A)$, since $f_I(a_0)$ is clearly $a_0$.
 - Now show that for any $f, g \in H$, $f\circ g \in H$: i.e., show that $H$ is closed under the function composition.
 - Show that for any $f \in H, f^{-1} \in H$. Hint: This must be the case, as every $f \in H$ is bijective, and if $f \in H$, then $f^{-1}$ exists, and since $f\in H$, $f(a_0) = a_0$ and $f^{-1}(f(a_0)) = f^{-1}(a_0) = f_I(a_0) = a_0$, since by definition, $f^{-1}\circ f = f_I$, so $f^{-1} \in H$
Then you will have shown $\,H\,$ is a subgroup of $\,S(A)$.
As for your second question (or aside), you might want to visit MathJax/LaTeX: a tutorial and "bookmark" it as a favorite!
share|cite|improve this answer
Hint: To check something is a subgroup, it suffices to show that $H$ is nonempty (this clear since the identity function is an element [why?]), the composition of two functions is an element of the group (also easy to argue since every function fixes $a_0$), and that the inverse of a function is an element of the group (which follows because each element is a bijection).
I leave the details to you, but hopefully with what is given above, you can work through this mostly on your own.
share|cite|improve this answer
The standard way to show that something is a subgroup is to show:
 1. It is nonempty
 2. If $f, g \in H$ then $fg^{-1} \in H$
I'll leave (1) to you and give you a hint for (2). If $f, g \in H$ then you know $f(a_0) = a_0$ and $g(a_0) = a_0$. Apply the function $fg^{-1}$ to $a_0$. The result should be $a_0$ and once you've shown this you can conclude that $fg^{-1} \in H$.

Definition of Ley Sustantiva
- It is that one that regulates behavior on some specific matters, or prohibits certain acts. In other words; It is the law that regulates the actions of citizens.
- Set of norms that establish the rights and duties of citizens that are bound by an established legal order. Those who violate these rules may be prosecuted.
ORIGIN OF LEY SUSTANTIVA
Ley sustantiva (Substantive Law) comes from the Latin term legisthat determines all the rules that govern a specific territory. Added to that, the word "substantive" is added, which implies "something that exists independently". From this perspective, it denotes the basic laws that govern the behavior of the citizens of a place.
A Ley Sustantiva functions as a mechanism to grant a right or impose an obligation, punish its non-compliance and determines the procedure for its effectiveness.
CURIOSITIES OF LEY SUSTANTIVA
- In a state of law, the highest Ley Sustantiva is the Constitution or Magna Carta. This is the supreme Law that establishes, organizes and empowers the government of a nation under a system of fundamental principles for the fulfillment of the other laws.
- While the Ley Sustantiva determines what can or cannot be done, the Adjective Law is in charge of determining how due process should be carried out and each important aspect within a trial.

Ore investigates the problem with red kites
Bird experts are asking the public to stop feeding red kites after reports of them swooping down to steal food off school pupils.
About 40 years ago there were only a few pairs of the birds of prey in the UK and special projects have reintroduced them to the wild.
But the red kites have tried to take food from students in Watlington, Oxfordshire.
Pupils have been told not to eat their lunches in the playing fields.
One student, Joe, said: "Red kites come and swarm around everyone when they're eating. They've swooped down to grab it out of our hand."
Red kites were reintroduced to the Chilterns area in the 1990s after becoming extinct in England.
Red kite facts
Became extinct in England in 1871
Typical diet of mice, moles, worms, small rabbits and carrion
Average wingspan 1.5m!
A 2011 RSPB survey recorded 2,000 breeding pairs, an increase of more than 130% from the year before.
Bird experts says that people need to stop feeding the red kites, which will encourage them to hunt - and their population will spread out as they find their own hunting ground.
Cathy Rose, from the Chilterns Conservation Board, said: "We should not encourage them to come down by putting additional food out.
"Then their numbers will actually become balanced with the amount of food that nature can provide for them.
"Let them survive naturally in the wild and they will control their own numbers that way."

An Introduction to Pester – Unit Testing and Infrastructure checks in PowerShell
If you never heard of it, Pester is a PowerShell module, written in PowerShell.
It's a framework for writing and running unit tests, integration tests, and also infrastructure checks as we will see in a moment.
Pester is used for example to test PowerShell Core and Pester itself.
In this blog post, I'll do a short introduction to Pester with Installation and basic checks examples.
Pester is shipped by default with Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. The version installed is 3.4.
The latest version is available in the PSGallery. It is currently version 5.1.
If you have the 3.4 version installed and would like to update it you will face errors with Update-Module. You need to use the following command to get the latest version:
PS C:\> Install-Module -Name Pester -Force -SkipPublisherCheck
PS C:\> Get-InstalledModule

PowerShell function example
I will now show you a very basic Pester test.
Let's say I want to write a Pester test for the following PowerShell function.
This is a very basic function that reverses the string characters. This is the output:
Now that I have a working function I can start to write the Pester test.
Create a Pester Tests file
The Pester function New-Fixture will create a template file for me but you could definitely create it yourself.
By convention, Pester test files should end with "Tests.ps1".
The Tests file has been created.
I already edited the file and wrote the test.
This is what a Pester test looks like:
Pester basics
Pester is very declarative and easy to read.
You can ignore the first 3 rows in the Tests file, they came from the New-Fixture function and just dot sources the function to test into the PowerShell session.
The main commands with Pester are Describe, It, Context, and Should.
Describe is a block that contains tests. You will often have one Describe block for each function you want to test.
Context blocks are like Describe, they contain It blocks. They are optional and are useful to organize your test code.
The It block is the one that actually contains the test. The It block should have an expressive phrase describing the expected test outcome.
Finally, the Should command defines the test condition to be met. If the assertion is not met the test fails and an exception is thrown up. I used the -Be parameter. Many more are available like -BeFalse, -BeGreaterOrEqual, -BeLike, -Contain, etc.
In this example the test is simple. I set the expected value that I should get and I compare it to the actual value returned by the function.
Running Pester Tests
Now let's run the test itself with Invoke-Pester.
Also, running Invoke-Pester without any parameter will run all the "Tests.ps1" files in the current location.
So, everything is green. We can see that one test was performed and it Passed.
Now let's say another developer worked on the Get-ReverseString function and the latest change introduced a bug. Function behavior has changed and the Pester test will now throw a beautiful exception:
What is great is all the details (in red color) we can get when a test fails.
Infrastructure Testing
Pester is often used by sysadmin to do infrastructure testing. Your environment changes frequently and you need to be sure that your infrastructure is aligned with your standard.
Here are a few examples of such tests. The test is done directly inside a Pester code block not using a function like I did previously.

 $BlockSize = (Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Volume | Where-Object DriveLetter -eq $SQLDisk).BlockSize
 It "Should be 64 KB" {
 $BlockSize | Should -Be 65536 -Because "It is recommended to set a File Allocation Unit Size value to 64 KB on partitions where resides SQL Server data or log files"
Here I used the dbatools command Get-DbaErrorLogConfig to get the number of files configured for my ErrorLog. My best practice is to have 30 files instead of 6 by default.
Describe "SQL Server Error Log Files" {
 $errorLogCount = (Get-DbaErrorLogConfig -SqlInstance $SQLInstance).LogCount
 It "Should have Number of Log files set to 30" {
 $errorLogCount | Should -Be 30 -Because "Best practices requires 30 logs files to perform daily recycling"
When all put together the output of the Tests looks like this:
As you can see I can easily validate that my SQL Server infrastructure is configured as expected.
Code Coverage
Code Coverage is the percentage of lines of code that is tested by unit tests.
It's an indicator of how thoroughly your code has been tested. Having 100% coverage doesn't mean that the code is bug-free, it just indicates that all your code is being executed during the test.
If I add some code to my Get-ReverseString.ps1 file, the -CodeCoverage functionality will tell me exactly what is not covered by tests:
This blog post was just to get you started on learning Pester. There are a lot more possibilities with Pester. I might cover some more advanced usages a future post like the TestDrive or Mocking.
Here are some resources I'd recommend:

In the special relativistic action for a massive point particle,
$$\int_{t_i}^{t_f}\mathcal {L}dt,$$
why is the Lagrangian
$$\mathcal {L}=-E_o\gamma^{-1}$$
a negative number?

I'm just guessing this is the relativistic action for a free point particle, but some clarification of your question would help... – Michael Brown Jan 25 '13 at 9:59
Having you noticed that adding a constant the $\mathcal{L}$ doesn't affect the resulting optimal path? – dmckee Jan 25 '13 at 11:09
Because by convention, we want the action to be minimized in normal cases, not maximized. It's a convention: we could redefine $S\to -S$ which would then be maximized. For a massive pointlike particle, the proper time along the straight path is actually maximized, recall the twin paradox (the traveling twin ages less than the stationary one because of time dilation!), so one has to take $S$ to be a negative multiple of the proper time for the action to be minimized along the classical path. – Luboš Motl Jan 25 '13 at 11:25
Luboš agrees with me! :-) – John Rennie Jan 25 '13 at 11:40
I have even upvoted you, _USER_, after I noticed that you wrote the same thing and before me! ;-) – Luboš Motl Jan 25 '13 at 12:22

The argument I have seen is that the action is the length of the geodesic i.e.
$$ \text{path length} = \int ds $$
but we know that the trajectory of a free relativistic particle is the one that maximises the path length. So by writing:
$$ S = -m\int ds $$
we get an action that is minimised for the correct path (the $m$ is there to make the dimensions correct).

And how about non relativistic $L=mv^2/2$? – Vladimir Kalitvianski Jan 25 '13 at 10:37
Generally what matters is that the action is stationary $\delta S=0$, as is most easily seen from the path integral. Whether the classical path corresponds to a maximum, minimum or saddle point of the action is practically immaterial. – Michael Brown Jan 25 '13 at 11:21
add comment
At the classical level (meaning $\hbar=0$), to derive the Euler-Lagrange equations (i.e. the special relativistic version of Newton's 2nd law) from the action $S$, an overall (possibly negative) multiplicative factor is irrelevant. In this case, the normalization is chosen so that the Lagrangian
$$ L~=~-\frac{E_0}{\gamma} ~\approx~ \frac{1}{2}m v^2 -E_0 \qquad\text{for}\qquad v\ll c$$
recovers the well-known expression for the kinetic energy (up to an additive constant) in the non-relativistic limit $v\ll c$. So a bit oversimplified, the negative sign is caused by the huge rest energy $E_0$. Note that additive constants in the Lagrangian do not affect the equations of motion.

Right, with choosing $L=E_o(1-\gamma^{-1})$ we obtain the same equations. – Vladimir Kalitvianski Jan 25 '13 at 10:54

Auto Accidents and Red Lights Can Cause Personal Injury
Cars running red lights or failing to halt at a stop sign are just a few of the leading causes of traffic accidents that occur every day. If you have been injured and are facing extensive medical bills and loss of income as a result of an auto accident that resulted from another driving running a red light, personal injury attorney Chris Olsen is trained to seek the maximum compensation you deserve. We routinely handle cases that involve auto accidents and red lights on a regular basis at Olsen Law Offices for clients in the San Diego, CA area.
Causes of Red Light Auto Accidents
Recent research has shown that drivers running red lights are responsible for two million auto accidents each year. Of those accidents, 700,000 injuries and 8,000 fatalities occurred. Although distracted driving plays a role in causing traffic accidents, the most common causes of red light auto accidents include:
- Drivers who are texting or talking on their cellphone
- Drivers who are intoxicated
- Drivers who are in a hurry, impatient, or recklessly driving
- Drivers who speed up at an intersection when the light changes yellow
- Drivers who tailgate
- Drivers who are distracted by any number of things (cellphone, children, GPS, eating, etc.) and fail to notice the light changing
- Environmental factors, such as blinding sun, rain, snow, or fog
Who Is Most Likely to Cause a Red Light Accident?
Although anyone is susceptible to causing a red light accident, research has shown that there are a variety of characteristics commonly seen in drivers who are prone to cause red light auto accidents, such as:
- Inexperienced or uneducated drivers
- Male drivers
- Young drivers
- Repeat offenders with prior speeding or DUI/DWI convictions
- Reckless or impatient drivers
- Unlicensed or uninsured drivers
What to Do after An Accident
The moment the accident occurs, it's important to dial 911 so the appropriate emergency services are available to help with your accident. Having an EMT and policeman available will allow the appropriate documentation to be made, as well as ensure medical attention is delivered.
Red light accidents can result in:
- Brain injuries
- Spinal cord damage
- Permanent nerve and muscle injury
- Broken bones
- Lost wages
- Inability to work
- Temporary or long-term disability
When any of the above occurs and the other driver is at fault, you are legally allowed to seek compensation. Although insurance companies often handle such cases, unfortunately, drivers do not always receive the coverage they deserve. Attorney Chris Olsen will open an investigation and meet with doctors, witnesses, and carefully review the police reports and pictures taken to ensure you receive maximum compensation for what you or your loved ones has lost, especially in accidents that resulted in fatalities.

The Use of Negative Pressure in Medicine
Pressure is considered negative if it is below the standard atmospheric pressure, i.e. one atmosphere (1 atm). Negative pressure could occur naturally in few occasions such as out space, but it also could be deliberately inducted for the use of human. One of these uses is for medical purposes. The history of negative pressure use in health and disease management draws back to the establishment of the Chinese traditional medicine and continued to develop till the contemporary medical advances. In this review, the author aimed to elaborate the history and advancement in the usage of negative pressure in health aspects and classify the different modalities of negative pressure incorporated in treatment management and clinical trials.

Analysis of European style copper lamp
by：EME LIGHTING 2020-01-23
Modern European style; Also known as neoclassical style;. Modern European-style all-copper lamp design style, from simple to complicated, from the whole to the part, finely crafted, inlaid with flowers and gold, gives a meticulous impression. On the one hand, it retains the general style of all-copper lamp materials and colors, making people feel the historical traces of stealing tradition and the rich cultural heritage. At the same time, it abandons the overly complicated texture and decoration of all-copper lamps and simplifies the lines. The modern European style of copper lamps is more like a diversified way of thinking, combining the romantic feelings of nostalgia with the needs of modern people for life, compatible with luxury, elegance and fashion, it reflects the personalized aesthetic viewpoint and cultural taste in the post-industrial era. 1, the shape is scattered; It is the main feature of modern European copper lamp style. While paying attention to the decorative effect, modern techniques and materials are used to restore the classical temperament of all-copper lamps. The neoclassical style all-copper lamps have both classical and modern aesthetic effects, the perfect combination also gives people spiritual comfort while enjoying material civilization. 2, stress style, all copper lamps in the design is not antique, nor retro but the pursuit of similarity. 3. Use simplified methods, modern materials and processing techniques to pursue the general outline characteristics of traditional all-copper lamps. 4. All-copper lamps pay attention to the decorative effect. Indoor furnishings are used to enhance the historical context. Classical facilities, furniture and furnishings are often copied to set off the indoor environment atmosphere. 5. White, gold, yellow and dark red are the common main colors in European style. A small amount of white is mixed to make the color look bright.

Alligator shear
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Crocodile shears)
Jump to: navigation, search
An alligator shear, historically known as a lever shear[1] and sometimes as a crocodile shear,[2] is a metal-cutting shear with a hinged jaw, powered by a flywheel or hydraulic cylinder. Alligator shears are generally set up as stand-alone shears, however there are types for excavators. The jaw size can range from 4 to 36 in (100 to 910 mm) long. They are generally used to cut steel members, such as rebar, pipe, angle iron or I-beams.[3][4]
Older alligator shears were powered by a flywheel. These shears ran continuously, which posed a safety hazard. Now alligator shears are hydraulically actuated. When actuated, the piston arm extends and slowly closes the upper jaw of the alligator shear, which passes alongside the bed or lower jaw of the shear to perform the cut.[4]
Alligator shears are used for cutting long-length metal stock or scrap, generally where accuracy is not an important consideration, and the size or shape of the material makes other cutting or shearing options impracticaloften the only other cutting option is cutting with a torch. Alligator shears are often used in conjunction with large metal shredders in the metal recycling industry, to 'clean' or prepare scrap for shredding by removing unwanted fittings or other parts the shredder will not accept.
The safety requirements for other powered metalworking shears are contained in ANSI B11.4, but alligator shears are specifically exempted from that standard. Federal OSHA and various state OSHA programs have requirements for guarding alligator shears, and newly manufactured alligator shears are provided with guards that adjust to the size of the stock or scrap being cut. The purpose of this guard, however, is to prevent pieces of metal from being ejected during cutting. Such a guard also prevents inadvertent exposure of the operator's hands, but does not conform to more stringent 'point of operation' guarding requirements.
In an interpretive letter dated June 24, 1981, Federal OSHA discussed the guarding dilemma presented by the alligator shear.
In instances where the shear is exclusively used for routine cuts on standardized stock, safeguarding of the point of operation is definable. In other instances, the operator is safeguarded from exposure to the point of operation by the physical size and configuration of the material being cut.
These practical considerations for guarding are not exclusive to alligator shears. A much more common type of equipment, the press brake, also requires point of operation guarding when used with standardized stock, but not with large-dimension stock.

[ MFC ] - Changing progressbar colour of CProgressCtrl
1. Introduction
A "Progress Bar Control" can be used to show the progress of a long running operation. In MFC, "CProgressCtrl" class is associated the progress bar control. In this article, we will see how to set the progress bar background as well as the progress colour. The background colour can be set using the class member function directly. But, for setting the bar colour we need to send the message to progress bar from the containing parent.
This article is applicable to Visual Studio 2005 or earlier. If you use, 2005 later versions, you can set the bar colour using "SetBarColor" member function of the CProgressCtrl.
2. About the Example
Have a look at the below screenshot:
MFC Progress Bar Colour
Fig 1. MFC Progress Control with Different bar colour
The Start Progress button will start progress in default Gray background and blue bar colour (Depends on your windows Theme). The bar animation is simulated with an introduction of small delay while progressing. The Reset Progress button will reset the progress to the start of the progress. The Set Red button of the sample changes the background colour to white and foreground colour to Red.
3. Create the Application
Create a dialog-based application and name it as PrgrsClr. After the project is created, drag and drop a "Progress Control" from the toolbox to the dialog. In our example, the progress control ID is set to IDC_PROG_BAR. Similarly, add the other buttons as shown in the previous section. Handle the "BN_CLICKED" event for the buttons Start Progress, Reset Progress, Set Red. The below screen shot shows handling the BN_CLICKED for the Start Progress button.
Button Click Handler
Fig 2. Button Click Handler
Add a control variable for the Progress bar as shown in the below screenshot:
Adding CProgressCtrl control variable
Fig 3. Adding CProgressCtrl Control variable
1) Invoke Add Variable dialog from the Context menu by right clicking the class name from the class view tab (Marked as 1)
2) In the Add Member variable dialog, select the progress bar control id (Marked as 2)
3) Make sure the Category is set to Control (Marked as 3)
4) Provide the control variable name as m_ctrl_progress (Marked as 4) and click the finish button (Marked as 5)
4. Initialize Progress Bar
1) First, declare a function the header file, which we can use for initializing the progress bar. The code is below:
//Sample 01: Initialize Progress Bar
void InitProgress();
2) In the CPP file, the function InitProgress is implemented. The "CProgressCtrl::SetRange" function sets the progress bar range from number x -> y. In our case, we set the range for out progress control from 0 to 100. That means, when the progress control value is at 5, the bar appears at the initial stage and when the value is at 90 the bar approaches towards the end. In our case, each progress unit represents 1%. Next, the position is set at 0 using "CProgressCtrl::SetPos". The progress control's current position at zero indicates that the progress is not yet started.
//Sample 02: Initialize Progress Control
void CPrgrsClrDlg::InitProgress()
3) In the OnInitDialog of the class CPrgrsClrDlg, make a call to the InitProgress so that when the dialog appears, the progress control initialized to 0-100 Range and control start position is at zero. Below is the code:
// when the application's main window is not a dialog
SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE); // Set big icon
SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE); // Set small icon
//Sample 03: Make a call to Progress Control
5. Capturing the Progress - Simulated
1) In the Start Progress button click handler increment the progress bar position one by one with a delay of 100 milliseconds. Here a loop that runs for 100 times is used to increment the progress position. To set the delay of 100 milliseconds "Sleep" function is used. Below is the code:
void CPrgrsClrDlg::OnBnClickedButtonStart()
 //Sample 04: Start Progressing with a Delay
2) Make a call to the InitProgress in the Reset Progress button click handler. Below is the code:
void CPrgrsClrDlg::OnBnClickedButtonReset()
 //Sample 05: Reset the Progress Status
6. Changing the progress bar color
In the Set Red button click handler, the progress bar's background color, as well as the Bar's color, is changed. The background color is set to white whereas the Bar color is set to Red. In VS2005 and earlier versions, the bar color can be set by sending the PBM_SETBARCOLOR" message to the progress bar. Below is the code:
void CPrgrsClrDlg::OnBnClickedButtonRed()
 //Sample 06: Change Background to white and Bar color to Red
 m_ctrl_progress.SetBkColor(RGB(255, 255, 255));
 m_ctrl_progress.SendMessage(PBM_SETBARCOLOR,0,RGB(255, 0, 0));

Sicilian Linen Towns
A few readers have written to us asking how and from where they can pick up old style tablecloths, bed linen and embroidered work in Sicily.
Our research has led us to the eastern side of the island and the towns of Sortino in the province of Siracusa, Vittoria in the province of Ragusa and Castiglione in the province of Catania.
The workmanship in this part of the island is known as'sfilato siciliano'. It is a technique which first appeared in the 15th century and was essentially the embellishing of white linen cloths with colorful threads.
The women of the time would remove threads of the linen and replace them with colored embroidery.
It must have been an intricate job and, in fact, it did become simplified over the years and only certain decorative areas were eventually reworked.
Many of the old techniques have disappeared but the craft itself was kept alive in the islands convents and specialist 'bottegas'.
A variation which is alive and well is practised at Erice in the west of Sicily. It is called 'frazzata' and involves the use of a hand loom to replace threads with extremely colorful cotton.
The cotton is inserted to form bright, geometric patterns often inspired by floral and Middle Eastern designs. The popularity of the 'frazzata' is such that what was once a craft practised in the home is now a recognizable industry.
What is there to see at Erice, Sortino and Castiglione?
Erice - The famous Temple of Venus which was uncovered following excavations in the Norman castle; a relic from the time when the city was destroyed by the Carthaginians in 260 BC. The tortuous medieval town was called Monte S.Giuliano until 1934.
Sortino - The necropolis of Pantalica built into the chalk rocks.
Castiglione - The old fortifications which look towards the coast at Taormina and Mount Etna in the south. The nearest town of Linguaglossa takes its name from a large tongue of lava which arrived in the area in 1634 and is commemorated by a memorial stone in the town hall

In the Player's Handbook, it is pretty clear that reactions normally interrupt the thing that they are reacting to.
Xanathar's Guide to Everything, however, has explicitly changed all reactions to occurring after their triggers have finished resolving unless the ability specifies otherwise, and is reliant on that implicit assumption for several reaction abilities already.
This leads to contradictory interpretations of reactions that take implicit timing. How should this be resolved?
I'm particularly interested in how to resolve this in Adventurers League games, where players show up with perfectly legal characters reasonably expecting their abilities to work either way on account of owning or not owning XGE.
Reactions come after their triggers, except when they don't
If the timing is specified in the ability, use that timing. Otherwise, reactions occur after the trigger.
This entire thing is a matter of specific over general. In 5e, when a specific rule and a general rule conflict, the specific rule wins.
Xanathar's Guide to Everything outlines the general rule for the timing of reactions:
If you're unsure when a reaction occurs in relation to its trigger, here's the rule: the reaction happens after its trigger completes, unless the description of the reaction explicitly says otherwise.
So, if the timing of the spell/ability you are using does not specify a timing then the reaction will come after whatever triggered it.
This is essentially just rephrasing what was already in the DMG since its release:
Various spells and features give a creature more reaction options, and sometimes the timing of a reaction can be difficult to adjudicate. Use this rule of thumb: follow whatever timing is specified in the reaction's description. For example, the opportunity attack and the shield spell are clear about the fact that they can interrupt their triggers. If a reaction has no timing specified, or the timing is unclear, the reaction occurs after its trigger finishes, as in the Ready action. (D&DB)
Thus, nothing has changed in the way reactions are handled since the DMG was released. Even with the rule being in the DMG and XGtE, you may (and probably will) still meet players who misunderstand how reaction timing works. There is not too much you can do to prevent this, but having a thorough understanding of the basics yourself will allow you to talk them through the issues with confidence that you are correct. Thus, I have prepared an extensive analysis below to hopefully help you accomplish this.
Dealing with Adventurers League and false expectations
Firstly, it is simply a fact that a DM is going to have to teach/correct that players that don't know or misunderstand the rules. It is one of the DM's primary jobs. There is not much you can do at the table to fix a character built on a misunderstanding of a rule whether it was based on not owning a particular reference material or not.
So how do you deal with it when it comes up? Well, as an AL DM, you are bound to follow the rules as written for all cases in which the rules are clear. However, if there was a case of a reaction ability that you found unclear lean on the general rule. If the ability is unclear then just assume it comes after the trigger. If assuming this seems to break the ability or make it useless then it is probably incorrect. In short, either go with the reaction happening after the trigger or go with what allows the ability to work.
Reaction spells
Below, I go through every currently published spell with a casting time of reaction and show how it either follows or is an exception to the general rule above. Remember, each one of these spells is analyzed using this same rule. As long as you understand it, there should be minimal issues with adjudicating most reaction timing abilities.
Shield - interrupts trigger
Trigger: when you are hit by an attack or targeted by the magic missile spell.
So, shield explicitly says that it takes effect before the triggering attack resolves (and before the triggering magic missile spell hits). That means it is an exception and may take effect before the triggering effect resolves. This is an exception to the general rule because it's timing is specified by its effects.
The DMG also explicitly says that shield interrupts its trigger:
See this Q&A for more on the timing of shield: Do you have to cast Shield prior to your opponent's attack roll?
Absorb elements - interrupts trigger
Trigger: when you take you take acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage.
Again, the spell wording implies that it comes before the damage from the attack is resolved and thus it applies to the triggering attack as well. See this Q&A and this Crawford tweet for more.
Counterspell - interrupts trigger
Trigger: when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell.
Counterspell thus interrupts the spell being cast explicitly (also, if it did not it would literally be useless).
This post deals partially with the timing of counterspell: Can a readied spell be Counterspelled after it is cast, but before the trigger occurs?
Feather fall - interrupts trigger
Trigger: when you or a creature within 60 feet of you falls.
A falling creature's rate of descent slows to 60 feet per round until the spell ends.
The effect description says that it slows creatures that are in the process of falling. This means that it interrupts the falling and is thus another exception. Again this is also clear because if feather fall did not interrupt the falling creature's decent, it would be useless as the ground will have stopped the creature already with potentially deadly results.
Hellish Rebuke - occurs after trigger
Trigger: being damaged by a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see.
You point your finger, and the creature that damaged you is momentarily surrounded by hellish flames.
Hellish rebuke does specify timing, but it aligns with the normal rules of reactions. The trigger is being damaged and the reaction occurs after that damage is resolved. So, this spell is not an exception.
See here for further discussion: Hellish Rebuke reaction with zero hitpoints
Soul cage - occurs after trigger
Trigger: when a humanoid you can see within 60 feet of you dies.
This spell snatches the soul of a humanoid as it dies and traps it inside the tiny cage you use for the material component.
The trigger is a humanoid dying and the spell snatches the soul as soon as its death is complete. Thus, this reaction does not interrupt the trigger and happens after the trigger is resolved.
Non-spell reactions
I'll go over the two most commonly used non-spell reactions. There are many abilities and other effects that are reactions so it would be incredibly unwieldy to go through and analyze them all. However, knowing and understanding these two should cover a large portion of your reaction timing issues in most games (in my experience).
Ready action - occurs after trigger
Trigger: variable
The ready action can be difficult to adjudicate because it is up to the person readying the action what they want the trigger to be. What makes this especially tricky is that there are no real guidelines for how specific of a trigger you can set which leads to some confusion when it comes to, for example, the question of whether you can interrupt the casting of a spell with a readied action (also see this).
One thing is quite clear though, the readied action is always carried out after the triggering condition is met. No matter how clever the exact trigger is worded, the readied action can never precede the triggering condition.
Opportunity attack - interrupts trigger
Trigger: when a hostile creature that you can see moves out of your reach.
An opportunity is thus taken before an enemy's movement completes and thus interrupts the trigger. The enemy is free to continue moving after the resolution of the opportunity attack if they are able.
The DMG also explicitly says that the opportunity attack interrupts its trigger:
These are all the spells with a casting time of reaction that are currently published and a couple examples of non-spell reactions.
You don't have to look at this list though as long as you remember adjudicating every single one of these things can be done just by looking at the particular ability by following one simple rule: if a timing is listed or implied use that timing, and have the reaction resolve after the trigger for all the others.

Can anything be said about the measure of the topological boundary of a Cacciopoli set in $R^n$? Of course, the reduced boundary has finite (n-1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure, but this does not say anything about the topological boundary, for instance, points with density 0 or 1 can still be part of the boundary.
My precise question: if $E$ is a Caccioppoli set, does there exist a measurable Cacciopoli set $F$, such that $E\triangle F$ and $\partial F$ are both Lebesgue null sets?

The answer is no. Take countably many disjoint closed balls $B_i$ contained in the square $Q=[0,1]\times [0,1]$ and such that:
(i) Sum of areas of $B_i$ is less than 1
(ii) Sum of perimeters of $B_i$ is finite
(iii) $\bigcup B_i$ is dense in $Q$
Since the series $\sum \chi_{B_i}$ converges in BV norm, the set $E=Q\setminus \bigcup B_i$ has finite perimeter. It also has positive measure and empty interior. Any representative $F$ of the set $E$ also has empty interior and therefore $\partial F$ is not Lebesgue null.
By the way, any Lebesgue measurable set E has a representative F with the property
(*) $0<|F\cap B(x,r)|<|B(x,r)|$ for all $x\in\partial F$ and all $r>0$.
The proof is straightforward: add the points x for which $|E\cap B(x,r)|=|B(x,r)|$ for some r, and throw out all points x such that $|E\cap B(x,r)|=0$ for some $r$. (See Prop. 3.1 in "Minimal surfaces and functions of bounded variation" by E. Giusti.) By virtue of (*) the set $F$ has the smallest (w.r.t inclusion) topological boundary among all representatives of $E$, so if this representative doesn't help you, nothing does.

Thanks! This was the kind of answer I was looking for. My question actually came from the result of E. Giusti you mention. I was hoping to sharpen it, but clearly this is not possible. – Martijn Jan 8 '10 at 11:45

Hornyfqnz is an online slang dictionary that defines common texting and internet communication slang phrases. The name "hornyfqnz" is a mixture of the terms "horny" and "fun." It refers to someone who is entertaining and makes you want to have sex with them.
1)What does Hornyfqnz mean?
"Hornyfqnz" refers to someone sexually stimulated or interested in sexual action. The term frequently indicates someone seeking or engaging in sexual activity.
2)The meaning of Hornyfqnz
"hornyfqnz" refers to someone sexually stimulated or interested in sexual action. The term is frequently used to describe someone "turned on" or "horny" by another person. It can also refer to someone who is sexually attracted to another person.
- What exactly does hornyfqnz mean? It's a little mysterious, but we can make some educated guesses.
- The most likely reason is that it's a misspelling of "horny." This makes sense because "horny" is a slang term for sexually aroused.
- Another suggestion is that it's a play on the word "horny," with the "h" replaced by an "f" to sound more like the word "horn." This might be used to describe someone who is having an especially sexual mood right now.
- Whatever the case, we can be certain that "hornyfqnz" is a phrase used to describe someone who is sexually aroused. So, if you see someone using this expression, they are most likely trying to communicate that they are horny!
4)What is the meaning of Hornyfqnz?
Hornyfqnz is an abbreviation for someone sexually stimulated or interested in sexual activity. The term is frequently used to describe someone who is hornier than usual.
5)What does Hornyfqnz stand for?
- Hornyfqnz is an abbreviation for "Horny For No Reason." The phrase is frequently used to describe someone sexually aroused for no apparent reason.
- There are several reasons someone could feel horny for no apparent cause. They may be sexually dissatisfied and haven't had sex in a while. It could also be a symptom of an underlying medical illness, such as a hormone imbalance.
- If you're feeling horny for no apparent reason, there are a few things you can attempt to alleviate the urge. You can begin by masturbating. If that doesn't work or you're uncomfortable, try distracting yourself with other tasks. If the sensation persists, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any underlying problems.

Covelo fire burned 617 acres
Full containment of the Pass Fire located east of Covelo, stubbornly eluded CalFire and the US Forest Service firefighters over the weekend.
Monday afternoon, the 617-acre fire was 97 percent contained. Cost as of 10:30 a.m. Monday was $2.6 million, but fire personnel had been reduced to 277 persons from a peak of 921.
When the fire began August 3at noon, it was attacked heavily from the air, as ground resources surged to the location. Initially, the fire threatened several structures near the Eel River Work Center, but then burned north and east, leaving the structures unharmed. Steep hills in the fire zone were covered with a combination of dry grass and oaks on the western slopes and grass and heavy manzanita on the eastern sides.
Containment was particularly challenging in the area located in the steep canyon slopes above the Eel River.
Fire engines from Little Lake, Ukiah Valley, Redwood Valley, Brooktrails and Laytonville fire departments responded to the mutual-aid call just after the fire started, and remained on the fire lines until Friday afternoon. Local firefighters slept on the ground and ate field rations for much of their time out.
In the early stage, the fire size was estimated at 800 acres, but as overflights mapped the fire boundaries more accurately, the official size was scaled back to 644 acres and finally to 617 acres.
Although the fire began in the state responsibility area, it quickly crossed into lands managed by the US Bureau of Land Management and Mendocino National Forest. The fire response was co-managed by CalFire and the U.S. Forest Service.
One firefighter suffered a wrist injury during the fire.

It won't be the first time and certainly not the last; the plane assigned for your trade has been delayed. Bummerrr! As an importer of fruit and vegetables, you especially want to know: How long will the delay last? When will my pallets arrive? And you will think with concern: will the quality of the fruit and vegetables still be the same? Where do those delays come from and how can you avoid delays? We asked one of our airfreight agents.
Where do the delays come from?
The transport chain from 'farm to fork' is often long and because so many parties are involved, there are also various reasons that cause delays. Below we name a few:
 - One of the reasons is that too much trade has been accepted by the airline, causing a back log. I can hear you thinking: why does an airline take one extra trade and leave the fresh products behind? This is due to the relatively lower transport costs for the fruit and vegetable sector. Especially in this time of Corona, which means there is less air traffic, airlines are having a hard time financially and trade is being looked at more profitable business like medicines and machines. These parties are willing to pay more for the space on the plane and for that reason space is made and (part of) the fruit and vegetable trade remains at the airport.
 - Another possibility is damage to parts of an aircraft. Then there are three options: repair the plane, use another plane to fly to the destination or cancel the flight at all. Any option will cause delay. If the flight is cancelled, a number of airlines will postpone each flight, creating a snowball effect, which also delays the trade of every other flight. When another device is used, there may be less space available and trading may be delayed as a result.
 - If the trade is delivered too late, it will arrive at the aircraft too late and cannot be taken on board.
 - Human errors are often also made. Think of leaving a skid or taking too much trade when it won't fit. Airlines that are very reliable in terms of delays from experience; CargoLux and Singapore Airlines.
Fruits and vegetables versus medicines
Why do airlines still schedule fruit and vegetables at all if they can earn more from other items such as medicines? The reason for airlines to transport fruit and vegetables, despite low rates, is the continuity with which they place orders over the year.
Can we be informed sooner of delays?
There is often quite a bit of discussion about the provision of information about delays. In some cases, customers are even more aware than agents. This may be due to the time difference, but also to the lack of information or miscommunications from the airlines. Temperature loggers are sent along with orders where temperature plays an important role. You could already notice a delay from here, unfortunately no separate notifications are sent from here to report a delay.
How do we solve delays?
We hardly have any influence on the airlines and human errors, but what everyone in the the entire chain can do is, among other things:
 - Customers to place orders in time with BE Fresh
 - Meeting deadlines and communicating about the status
 - Arrival of trucks with the right temperature to load the cargo straight away
 - Send the correct documents.
In short, we all have to be sharp to avoid creating our own delay.

Both a live backup and a transaction log mirror provide a secondary copy of the transaction log. However, there are several differences between using a live backup and using a transaction log mirror:
In general, a live backup is made to a different computer By running the Backup utility on a separate computer, the database server does not do the writing of the backed up log file, and the data transfer is done by the SQL Anywhere client/server communications system. Therefore, the performance impact is decreased and reliability is greater.
Running a transaction log mirror on a separate computer is not recommended. It can lead to performance and data corruption problems, and stops the database server if the connection between the computers fails.
A live backup provides protection against a computer becoming unusable Even if a transaction log mirror is kept on a separate device, it does not provide immediate recovery if the whole computer becomes unusable. You could consider an arrangement where two computers share access to a set of disks.
A live backup may lag behind the database server A transaction log mirror contains all the information required for complete recovery of committed transactions. Depending on the load that the database server is processing, the live backup may lag behind the transaction log mirror and may not contain all the committed transactions.

Using Code Map to understand C++ Android code
This tutorial shows how to use the CodeMap feature of Visual Studio to understand the structure of complex C++ code. We will show it based on the san-angeles demo built using vs-android, however it will also work for all other VisualGDB project types.
 1. Install VisualGDB 5.0 or later (ensure that "Android Edition" is checked in the installer). This will add support for debugging and Clang-based IntelliSense to vs-android projects.
 2. Ensure you can build and debug the san-angeles project by following this tutorial.
 3. Open the san-angeles project and go to the drawModels function in demo.c:01-drawmodels
 4. The first thing we will investigate using code map is that drawModels() function that appears to be called repeatedly is calling seedRandom() each time with the same value. That supposedly resets the state of the random number generator. Let's use the code map to understand what is affected by this. Right-click on seedRandom() and select "show on code map":02-map
 5. A new Code Map window will appear. Right-click on seedRandom in that window and select "show referenced data":03-data
 6. You will see that seedRandom accesses the sRandomSeed variable. Right-click on it and select "Show functions referencing this":04-randomseed
 7. Now you will see that sRandomSeed is also accessed by randomUInt():05-2calls
 8. Now we need to figure out the context in which both functions are called. Select both of them by holding the ctrl key, right-click and select "Show functions calling this": 06-callers
 9. Now you will see all functions in the project that call the two random number functions we found. However, this is not enough to see the big picture:07-4callers
 10. Repeat the previous step (selecting newly found functions) twice more until you see the functions called by the Java framework (starting with Java_):08-jnifuncsNow the big picture is clear: the random functions are mainly involved during app initialization and the only other place that calls them is the drawModels() function itself. Hence, resetting the random seed inside drawModels() does not affect the behavior of other functions.
 11. Now let's use Code Map to quickly find functions related to the GLObject struct. First of all, select any of the GLObject's fields and select "Show on Code Map":09-globject
 12. Then right-click on it and select "Show containing type":10-showtype
 13. Right-click on the type, select "Show type contents", then select all fields, right-click select "Show functions referencing this":11-showrefs
 14. You will now see all functions that directly reference fields of GLObject:12-objectfuncs
 15. By highlighting all objects and repeatedly selecting "Show functions calling this" you can easily see the big picture:13-objlifetimeThe Code Map now clearly shows how the objects are created during initialization, used during the render calls and destroyed during the de-initialization. You can double-click on any of the functions or fields to quickly jump to the code and examine the function contents.

"The Best Poster on the Advantages of Rainwater Harvesting"
The Raindrops Geneva Award is an art competition organised by the IRHA to promote Rainwater Harvesting and to increase public awareness on the importance of this topic.
For the fourth edition of this competition we looked for posters that illustrate the uses and/or benefits of rainwater harvesting.
The International Rainwater Harvesting Alliance is pleased to announce that the jury, chaired by Mr. Christian Rümelin (Chief Curator, Graphic Arts Department of the Arts and History Museum, Geneva) and made up of Mr. Jérôme Baratelli (Head, Visual Communication Department, HEAD Art & Design School, Geneva), Mr. André Klopmann (Vice Secretary, Chancellerie, Geneva), Mr. Alain Dick (IRHA, President) and Ms. Vessela Monta (IRHA, Executive Director), have now reached a decision and selected the three posters that best illustrate the uses and benefits of rainwater [cf. Rules of the Competition].
With over 750 submissions of very high quality entered from 77 different countries, selecting just three posters was not an easy task. All posters were reviewed carefully following a set of criteria specified in the Rules of the Competition and supplemented by the jury:
- The force and artistic value of the message, including technical and aesthetic considerations;
- The expression of the advantages of rainwater harvesting for mankind and nature;
- The pertinence of the presented experiences/examples of rainwater harvesting;
- The format: graphically speaking does this submission work as a poster.
The selection process was conducted as follows:
- All posters were saved anonymously* into one file.
- Out of all posters, 125 posters were preselected, using the above mentioned criteria. Any posters not matching the requirements stated in the Rules of the Competition were automatically excluded.
- The Jury discussed the remaining 125 posters: the jury reviewed the posters left in the competition and were able to reduce this figure by selecting those that stood out round after round. After long hours of debate, the overall number of 750 posters was reduced to just 15. It was decided that all 15 posters would be printed and presented at the Raindrops Geneva Awards 2013 Exhibition that will be held for a week on 21st March 2014 in the World Famous Courtyard of the Geneva Town Hall, with the support of the Republique et Canton de Genève.
- Selection of the three winning posters: A handful of posters clearly stood out and were voted on by the members of the jury. Each member of the jury was allowed three votes. The winning posters were those that received the majority of votes.
IRHA congratulates the following three winners:
1st Prize (1'000 CHF): Kateryna Korniienko-Heidtman for "Rainwater Use for Life"
2nd Prize (600 CHF): Eva Kay Norrington for "Smallest of Gestures"
3rd Prize (400 CHF): Jason Holmes for "0.3%".
The authors of the 13 posters shortlisted for the exhibition also deserve a huge congratulation:
- Nelu Wolfensohn for "Rain Drops, Life Drops"
- Francesca Reinero for "Rainwater is a free asset, use it"
- Anna Zima for "Life in every Drop"
- Pash Bolshakov for "The Perspective"
- Seyyedmehdi Mousavi for "Efficiency"
- David Walton for "Raindrops"
- Charlie O'Connell for "Rainwater Harvesting can turn your Life Around"
- Mikolaj Dobrucki for "Lower Price – Better Quality"
- Svetlana Tarasova for "Save Rainwater for your Washer"
- Tanya Krendel for "Raindrops create the Life Around Us"
- Zuzanna Chanska for "Water your Life with Rain"
- Marc Baker for "Baker_01".
[Photo Gallery of all 15 posters]
Finally, IRHA would like to say a special word of thank you to all the Arts Schools, Universities and Colleges who not only took part in the competition but fully integrated this contest into their syllabus.
With the Support of:
*All posters were kept anonymous throughout the selection process. The names of the authors of the three winning posters were revealed to the members of the jury only after the final selection had been made.

Let me explain. I have created a custom component, when editing the element and saving it once, I would like to display next to the alias the sef frontend link to this element. Here is a screenshot to explain :
I haven't coded anything yet because I'm not sure how to do it?
I'm assuming that since you're asking about SEF URLs for your component that you've already built your own custom router (as SEF URLs for a custom component are dependent upon that). If not then you can follow the example described in _URL_ and following tutorial steps.
If you've done that then outputting an SEF URL on the admin backend is similar to how you create an SEF URL on the front end using JRoute::_ and passing the various parameters such as your component (option), id of your item, Itemid of the menuitem, etc. Except that on the admin side you should use
use Joomla\CMS\Router\Route;
$url = Route::link("site", "index.php?option=com_example&view=showitem&id=14);
See Joomla Route link for the API definition and URLs in Joomla for a description of how to use these functions.
Note that the link method is available only since Joomla 3.9, so if you're working on a version which predates that then it's rather more tricky, as you have to hack your way into the Joomla core code, but not impossible.
Also just be aware that the SEF URL may differ depending upon the Itemid of the menuitem which you pass to the link function and how you've built your custom router.
 - OK, thank you, your answer gave me the right direction. – Laurent Jan 20 at 14:07

XYZ = stream3(X,Y,Z,U,V,W,startx,starty,startz) computes streamlines from vector data U, V, W.
The arrays X, Y, and Z, which define the coordinates for U, V, and W, must be monotonic, but do not need to be uniformly spaced. X, Y, and Z must have the same number of elements, as if produced by meshgrid.
startx, starty, and startz define the starting positions of the streamlines. The section "Specifying Starting Points for Stream Plots" provides more information on defining starting points.
The returned value XYZ contains a cell array of vertex arrays.
XYZ = stream3(U,V,W,startx,starty,startz) assumes the arrays X, Y, and Z are defined as [X,Y,Z] = meshgrid(1:N,1:M,1:P) where [M,N,P] = size(U).
XYZ = stream3(...,options) specifies the options used when creating the streamlines. Define options as a oneor two-element vector containing the step size or the step size and the maximum number of vertices in a streamline:
[stepsize, max_number_vertices]
If you do not specify values, MATLAB® software uses the default:
 - Step size = 0.1 (one tenth of a cell)
 - Maximum number of vertices = 10000
Use the streamline command to plot the data returned by stream3.

Prior information about the average dielectric properties of breast tissue can be implemented in microwave breast imaging techniques to improve the results. Rapidly providing this information relies on acquiring a limited number of measurements and processing these measurement with efficient algorithms. Previously, systems were developed to measure the transmission of microwave signals through breast tissue, and simplifications were applied to estimate the average properties. These methods provided reasonable estimates, but they were sensitive to multipath. In this paper, a new technique to analyze the average properties of breast tissues while addressing multipath is presented. Three steps are used to process transmission measurements. First, the effects of multipath were removed. In cases where multipath is present, multiple peaks were observed in the time domain. A Tukey window was used to time-gate a single peak and, therefore, select a single path through the breast. Second, the antenna response was deconvolved from the transmission coefficient to isolate the response from the tissue in the breast interior. The antenna response was determined through simulations. Finally, the complex permittivity was estimated using an iterative approach. This technique was validated using simulated and physical homogeneous breast models and tested with results taken from a recent patient study.

Students in Ms. Kate's Visual Art class created a mural of Marin County, which they worked on over several weeks during the fall semester of the after-school program. Over 60 students from grades K-5 collaborated on the mural, which reflects their community, the environment around them, and the landscape and people they interact with daily.
The mural is on display in the school library shared by Bayside Elementary and Willow Creek Academy. What do you think about the mural? Please leave us a comment.
Student's also created sculptures using tree branches, recycled materials, and craft items. They were asked to create a place of safety or a "safe space." Many of the students built fences and tree houses to represent their space.

Accuracy of a projectile is typically quantified as the proportion of successful target hits, or the distance an object finishes from the target. Serving in sports such as badminton differs since the shuttlecock is usually intercepted by the opponent before landing on the target (i.e. court surface). Therefore, landing accuracy measures are inappropriate and a new method of determining accuracy of the serve is needed. During interviews, elite coaches and players described an accurate short serve as crossing the net with low clearance and having an apex before the net. Three-dimensional trajectory of the shuttlecock was therefore tracked from eight national-level players who performed 30 short serves in simulated match conditions (i.e. with an opponent); 27% of all serves were classified as 'accurate', 27% of serves as 'inaccurate', 21% with a 'good apex' position, and 25% with a 'good clearance' height. The proposed method of assessing shuttlecock trajectory as a measure of accuracy could be adopted by coaches and players to assess and improve short serve accuracy. Furthermore, this method is more representative of a match environment since the shuttlecock rarely lands because the opponent returns the serve.
