National AIA Convention 2023 Immerses and Inspires Overlands' Young Professionals with Experiences and Resources to Design a Better World!
Last week, Overland Partners' own Allison Lerma, AIA, NCARB, Senior Architect and Sabrina Ortiz, Designer II, set their projects aside to participate in A'23, the AIA National Convention held in San Francisco. Centered around the theme "America By Design®," this year's convention brought together over 13,000 professionals from across the United States and around the world at the Moscone Center, the nation's First LEED Platinum Convention Center. The conference featured a wide range of engaging events, including daily keynotes, roundtable discussions, an expansive expo hall, as well as studio and project field tours. Reflecting on their experience, Allison and Sabrina have shared their key insights and takeaways from this exciting conference.
- The national convention for architects exceeded Allison's and Sabrina's expectations with its impressive scale, meaningful discussions, renowned speakers, diverse exhibits, and amazing studio and project tours. Highlights included enriching interactive opportunities with fellow architects, thought-provoking roundtable discussions on equity, diversity, and inclusion, tours of architectural studios and innovative projects that address climate change and the housing crisis.
- This year, the keynote speaker at the convention included a captivating presentation by Jacinda Ardern, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, who began her tenure at the age of 37. She faced numerous formidable challenges during her time in office, including a live-streamed domestic terror attack on the Muslim community, a volcanic eruption, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Ms. Ardern's leadership, rooted in her values of people-centricity, kindness, and what she refers to as "pragmatic idealism," led New Zealand to achieve one of the lowest COVID-19 mortality rates among developed nations, saving countless lives. Her inspiring story highlighted the importance of embracing vulnerability while maintaining resilience and strength. These powerful messages were also echoed by AIA National, as the organization made history with women holding leadership positions in the organization for the first time ever.
- The Women's Leadership Luncheon emerged as an incredibly inspiring event during the convention with invaluable advice shared by women leaders. One key piece of wisdom emphasized the importance of building a network of champions, a notion that highlights the significance of cultivating relationships with individuals who believe in and support one's aspirations. Additionally, the luncheon underscored the significance of finding one's tribe, a supportive community that fosters personal and professional growth. Moreover, the role of a good leader was highlighted as being committed to securing the future, demonstrating the essential responsibility to mentor and empower the next generation. These messages left a lasting impression, encouraging Allison and Sabrina to approach their work with enthusiasm, collaboration, and a sense of purpose.
- An overarching message of this year's convention was the imperative of Equity + Justice. Attendees were deeply engaged in discussions and presentations that focused on the critical need to foster inclusivity, equality, and social justice within the field. The convention provided a platform to address systemic barriers, promote diversity in all its forms, and amplify the voices of underrepresented groups. They learned that a mere two percent of architects in the U.S. are Black (NCARB 2023.) This means that out of approximately 121,603 licensed architects practicing in the country, only 2,492 identify as Black. This concerning statistic highlights the need for greater diversity and inclusivity within the field of architecture.
- The convention brought attention to critical challenges, particularly the urgent housing crisis, which disproportionately affects individuals experiencing homelessness and is a pervasive issue across metropolitan areas in the U.S. During their visit, they had the opportunity to explore 1064 Mission Street, the city's largest supportive housing development. This pioneering project utilized a combination of site-built and factory-built modular housing, with the goal of setting a national example. It integrates numerous elements designed to support San Francisco's most vulnerable and chronically homeless community members in attaining housing stability, improving their health outcomes, and fostering greater independence in their lives.
- Climate change and sustainability took center stage during the convention, with a strong emphasis on these critical aspects of design. A noteworthy topic was the involvement in policy-making that directly impacts the climate, presenting attendees with a fresh and proactive approach to tackling this global issue. The convention served as a platform for exchanging ideas and fostering a collective commitment to creating a more sustainable and resilient future.
- The list of experiences was further enhanced by field tours of various studios and projects. Internationally acclaimed studios such as SOM, Foster+Partners, and the Autodesk Technology Center showcased the next frontier of architectural design, leaving a lasting impression on attendees. They also were able to learn more about Enscape's new energy modeling program.
- In addition, Allison and Sabrina had the privilege of visiting the newly completed Caymus-Suisun Winery. The tour offered a unique insight into the design strategies employed to create a warm and inviting hospitality environment while simultaneously addressing the distinct climatic challenges presented by the beautiful Suisun Valley. The focus was on crafting a winery that not only provides a delightful experience for visitors but also becomes a vibrant community destination in harmony with its surroundings.
- Lastly, the convention explored strategies to address significant issues that have a profound impact on both society and the profession. One crucial approach is to focus on exposure and education about architecture to underrepresented groups at an early age, starting in elementary school and providing ongoing support and mentorship through college and into the workforce, particularly for marginalized communities. Advocacy and policy work play a vital role in addressing challenges such as climate change as well as diversity and inclusion, and it is the responsibility of all professionals to actively engage in these efforts. By promoting education, diversity, and policy involvement, architects can contribute to positive change and make a lasting impact on both the industry and society as a whole.
"It was my second time going, but the last time I went, I was still a student. Experiencing it as a professional added a whole new level of perspective that I really enjoyed! "
Sabrina Ortiz Luna
"It was my first time going and I found it very rewarding on multiple levels."

Study Of A Vietnam 155 Km Bauxite Slurry Pipeline From The Highlands To Coast
Vietnam's bauxite resources are mainly found in the Highlands region, which is also home to the upper catchment areas of some of Vietnam's most significant river systems. The location of alumina refineries in the Highlands region with their associated residue disposal facilities raises serious environmental concerns. The tropical climate zone brings periods of intense monsoonal rainfall that needs to be contained and managed. The likelihood and impact of fugitive dust emissions, ground water contamination, or discharge of contaminated water streams must be minimized. The existing infrastructure for transportation of raw materials, refinery supplies and product alumina to and from the refinery is also limited. Therefore, potential investors will have to pay high costs to minimize the environmental risks and to upgrade and improve transport infrastructure in order to build and operate their refineries in the Highlands.
One potential solution to these problems is to locate future alumna refineries closer to the coast some distance from the mines and beneficiation plants in the Highlands. In coastal locations, red mud can safely be neutralized and stored using sea water and alumina product can easily be transported to a nearby port. A Vietnamese alumina project has now been proposed to build a mine and beneficiation plant in the Highlands (Gia Lai province) and the refinery close to the coast (Binh Dinh province). The connection between the two plants will be via a 155 km bauxite slurry pipeline.
This paper describes the technical aspects of the pipeline design, operating and control philosophy, maintenance, and capital cost.

Why Timing Is Important in Medicine
December 10, 2012
By Robert H. Shmerling, M.D.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
You see your doctor and he tells you:
- See me again in 3 months.
- Stop taking your anti-inflammatory medicine in 2 weeks.
- Have a blood test in 6 weeks.
Did you ever wonder where these time intervals came from? Are they really essential?
Timing is important in medicine. For example, you may have heard of the "golden hour." For certain types of major trauma, it's essential to get medical attention within an hour to improve the chances of survival.
There are many other common situations in medicine when time is important. But then there are occasions when timing is much less critical and the recommendations tend to be much more arbitrary.
If you have the time, we'll review some of these situations now.
Back to top
Important Time Intervals
In addition to "the golden hour," there are other time intervals that may be important to keep in mind. For example:
- 4 minutes When the heart stops or someone stops breathing, it's important that CPR start within a few minutes. If more than 4 minutes go by without supporting or restoring circulation or breathing, brain damage commonly occurs and survival rates drop dramatically.
- 2 hours Getting medical treatment (including powerful blood thinners) for heart attack within 2 hours is associated with better survival rates than later medical care.
- 3 hours People with stroke symptoms (such as sudden weakness on one side of the body or trouble speaking) have better outcomes if they get treatment (again, including blood thinners), within 3 hours of their symptoms.
- 4 days, 40 days The general guideline for disasters is that a person can survive about 4 days without water, and about 40 days without food. There are many exceptions because other factors also affect survival, such as a person's overall health before the disaster.
Back to top
The Timing of Common Medical Recommendations
Some medical recommendations have time intervals that are based primarily on what is easy to remember. Some common ones are:
- Yearly physical examinations There is no biological function or disease process that is correlated with the time it takes the earth to travel around the sun. That includes the routine physical examination. In fact, a number of studies have called into question the value of yearly examinations.
- Antibiotic use You may have noticed that when you take antibiotics, it tends to be for 5 days, 7 days or 10 days. These intervals are based on research studies showing that antibiotics are highly effective for certain infections when taken for these time periods. But few studies compare taking the same antibiotic for the same condition for 4 days, 6 days or other lengths of time. It's quite possible that a shorter course of treatment (or even a longer one) would be just as effective or even better than the standard interval. However, until additional studies prove it (and recommendations change), it's best to take your prescribed antibiotics according to directions and finish them.
- Bone mineral density testing This standard test for osteoporosis is repeated every year or two for many people. But there's little evidence that such an approach is helpful. Bone density tends to change slowly, even with treatment. The ideal interval for repeating this test is uncertain. One recent study suggested that much longer intervals up to 15 years would be adequate for people at low risk of osteoporosis.
- Mammograms Recommendations about when to start and how often to repeat mammograms have been controversial for years. But, once screening begins, the usual recommendation is to have the test every year or every other year, not every 18 months or 32 months or some other interval. Researchers typically choose 1- or 2-year intervals to study because they are convenient and easy to remember, rather than anything specific about the growth or spread of breast cancer. Similar principles apply to colonoscopy, pap smears and other common screening tests.
Back to top
Timing and Diagnosis
Knowing how symptoms vary over time and when they started can help a doctor figure out what you have. For example, abdominal pain that's been coming and going for years is likely to have a different cause and treatment than new abdominal pain that has just suddenly developed. It helps a doctor to know whether your pain started after an injury, exercise or surgery. A rash that developed after starting a new medication could be an allergic reaction; but if you had the rash before you started the medicine, the new medicine is probably not to blame.
In addition, time can be used as a diagnostic test. For example, joint pain often disappears just as mysteriously as it appears. Rather than undergoing extensive testing, it's often better to give it some time (and take some acetaminophen or ibuprofen).
Back to top
Patients often assume doctors can make accurate predictions about prognosis or survival. But, "giving a patient 6 months to live" is something you hear in movies or television much more often than in real life; doctors can rarely make such predictions with confidence. (Perhaps that's why you sometimes hear about people getting a dire prognosis and then outliving their doctors.)
Prognosis can be estimated based on studies and doctors' experience. So a doctor might predict a short survival based on what's reported in the medical literature or other patients he or she has treated. But survival tends to vary greatly. For example, a person with pancreatic cancer may be told he has 6 months to live based on average life expectancy of all people with this type of tumor; but they should also be told that it varies from a few weeks (for advanced cases) to several years or more (with tumors that are small, haven't spread or respond well to treatment).
Yogi Berra once said, "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." When it comes to making long-term medical predictions, I think doctors (and patients) should take this to heart.
Back to top
The Bottom Line
Clearly, time matters in medicine. Significant trauma, heart attack and stroke should be treated as quickly as possible. And, the timing of symptoms can help sort out the diagnosis.
Perhaps your doctor wants to recheck your blood pressure in 3 months to give your weight loss program and low salt diet a chance to work.
Maybe the blood test is in 2 weeks because it takes that long to see the effects of your new thyroid medicine. The anti-inflammatory medicine can damage the lining of the stomach, so stopping it in a month might limit its impact. There can be good reasons for time-based recommendations. But often, there aren't.
When there is no single best amount of time for a particular recommendation, your input matters. For many of my patients who need a follow-up appointment, I've started asking, When would you like to come back?" Sometimes they suggest coming back sooner than I would have recommended, sometimes later. Regardless, time intervals in medical care can often be negotiated rather than chosen only by the doctor.
Sometimes, timing is not everything. If you have a question about the timing of your symptoms or your medical care, be sure to ask your doctor.

The Governance of the International Monetary System
This paper proposes a reformed architecture of the international monetary system based on three pillars. The first is a representative apex organization, which can be understood as a transformation of the G-20 into a representative international institution. The second is the continuous reform of 'voice and participation' of developing countries in the Bretton Woods Institutions and global regulatory bodies. The third is the design of a 'dense', multi-layered architecture, with the active contribution of regional and sub-regional institutions, in a sense copying in this regard the denser architecture in place in the system of multilateral development banks.

The term 'Risk Retention Group' (RRG) originated in the Federal Risk Retention Act of 1981, which was passed in response to a 'Products Liability Crisis' that arose from the rising costs and decreasing availability of products liability coverage from commercial insurers in the 1970s. This Act was written to help organizations in any industry to meet their products liability risk financing needs (for example, by forming their own captive insurance company). In response to the liability crisis in the mid 1980s, the Act was expanded in 1986 to include all types of liability insurance (except personal liability and workers compensation).
The Act provides for like businesses to join together to insure their common liability risks.
Under the Act, each insured is required to have an ownership interest in the insurance company.

Fabric calculator - a better way to do it?
by ailie (Friar)
on Dec 06, 2001 at 04:04 UTC ( #129813=perlquestion: print w/ replies, xml ) Need Help??
This is a script I wrote to calculate how much fabric I need when making various quilt blocks. At the moment it's run from the command line, but I'd like to eventually get it so it can be run from a web page. That's where I really started to get frustrated. Alternately, a GUI might be sort of neat.
Anyway, I would be interested in receiving feedback on the script as it stands now. I have a vague feeling that perhaps there are better, cleaner ways to do much of what I've got, and I'd like to learn them.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; # How many fabrics are you using? my $j; my $number_of_fabrics; print "How many fabrics are you using? \n"; chomp($number_of_fabrics = ); for ($j = 1; $j <= $number_of_fabrics; $j++) { # How wide is the fabric you are using? my %fabric_width; my $fab_width; print "How wide is fabric $j? \n"; chomp($fab_width = ); $fabric_width{$j} = $fab_width - 2; print "To be safe, we'll use a width of $fabric_width{$j} for fabri +c $j. \n"; # How many different shapes is a block made of? my $number_of_shapes; print "How many different shapes of fabric $j is a block made of? \ +n"; chomp($number_of_shapes = ); # What are the dimensions of the shapes? my $i; my %width; my %height; my %shape; my $piece; for ($i = 1; $i <= $number_of_shapes; $i++) { my $shape_width; print "What is the width of shape $i? \n"; chomp($shape_width = ); $width{$i} = $shape_width; my $shape_height; print "What is the height of shape $i? \n"; chomp($shape_height = ); $height{$i} = $shape_height; $shape{$i} = $shape_width.

 A few suggestions,
 Most of these are rather cosmetic, but they should help readability.
 Considering how many times you read from STDIN you may want to farm that part out to a subroutine. It would remove clutter from the rest of the code and should be a bit more maintainable later.
 For structures like %width an array seems to make more sense than a hash. It works either way, but it's probably a good idea to try and use more appropriate tools when possible.
 Also you can reduce the number of variables you have to keep track of by using a hash for multiple things. For example, your $number_of_* variables in the last section could probably be written as (using a subroutine for getting STDIN):
 my %number; $number{blocks} = get_input("How many blocks are you making?"); $number{strips} = int( $total_pieces / $number_per_fabric_width_strip) +; etc...

 This is me just being a monkey and testing the script out:
 F:\dev>perl How many fabrics are you using? 2 How wide is fabric 1? 1 To be safe, we'll use a width of -1 for fabric 1. How many different shapes of fabric 1 is a block made of? 1 What is the width of shape 1? 1 What is the height of shape 1? 2 Shape dimensions: The dimensions of shape 1 are 1x2 You can get 0 piece(s) of shape 1 per 1" strip of fabric 1. You can get 36 1" strips per yard. You can get 0 of shape 1 per yard of -1" of fabric 1. How many of shape 1 do you need per block? 23 You need 23 per block. How many blocks are you making? 2 You are making 2 blocks. You need 46 of shape 1. Illegal division by zero at line 88, line 7. F:\dev>
 I'll update this node after I've messed with the code.
 My monkeying around immediately proves insightful into how you can improve this (at least it appears so to me).
 A good strategy might be to turn this into a module, and then, write "interfaces" for it, like commandline, CGI, GUI. All I have to say at this point is, not bad quiltmaker (some of your math may be funny, but useful to real people and immensly perlmonkish -- no prog/perl bg, good practices at the beginning). I see sanity checks, units of measurement conversions, price estimation.... ;D
 #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; # How many fabrics are you using? my $number_of_fabrics; print "How many fabrics are you using? \n"; chomp($number_of_fabrics = ); $number_of_fabrics =~ s/\D//; # only allow number input ## $number_of_fabrics ||= 3; # assume default quietly unless($number_of_fabrics and $number_of_fabrics >=3 ) { warn "Ahem!!! You must enter a NUMBER >= 3, but that's ok, default + is 3"; $number_of_fabrics = 3; } #... more to come... ;D
 Disclaimer: Don't blame. It came from inside the void
 Wow. It never even occurred to me to put in widths like that, since quilting fabric is


I have a program that waits for the user to enter a string input, how can I enter that string input while debugging my program with IDA?
You can use I/O redirection operators in the Process options-Parameters field:
The standard input/output/error channels can be redirected using the bash shell notations. for example: >output 2>&1
I have found the answer after hours of searching, it is really sad that such a great tool doesn't have this option easily enabled. anyway, you have to lunch the IDA from the terminal but you have to add
"cat |"
before it. For me, it was like this
cat |./ida64
and then when the program waits for the user's input, you have to go back to the terminal and supply it there.
If you want to add a file as an input you can do this
cat myfile |./ida64
If you know any better solution please post it here.
 - You may as well use yes then. If this above method worked you may also want to check out expect and its variants (such as pexpect). – 0xC0000022L Jul 3 '19 at 21:52

Cover of the book Symfony 5: The Fast Track
The cache.yml Configuration File
Symfony version
The cache.yml configuration file describes the cache configuration for the view layer. This configuration file is only active if the cache setting is enabled in settings.yml.
The configuration of the class used for caching and its associated configuration is to be done in the view_cache_manager and view_cache sections of the factories.yml configuration file.
When an application is created, symfony generates a default cache.yml file in the application config/ directory which describes the cache for the whole application (under the default key). By default, the cache is globally set to off:
 enabled: off
 with_layout: false
 lifetime: 86400
As the enabled setting is set to false by default, you need to enable the cache selectively. You can also work the other way around: enable the cache globally and then, disable it on specific pages that cannot be cached. Your approach should depend on what represents less work for your application.
As discussed in the introduction, the cache.yml file benefits from the configuration cascade mechanism, and can include constants.
The cache.yml configuration file is cached as a PHP file; the process is automatically managed by the sfCacheConfigHandler class.
The default application configuration can be overridden for a module by creating a cache.yml file in the config/ directory of the module. The main keys are action names without the execute prefix (index for the executeIndex method for instance). A partial or component can also be cached by using its name prefixed with an underscore (_).
To determine if an action is cached or not, symfony looks for the information in the following order:
 - a configuration for the specific action, partial, or component in the module configuration file, if it exists;
 - a configuration for the whole module in the module configuration file, if it exists (under the all key);
 - the default application configuration (under the default key).
An incoming request with GET parameters in the query string or submitted with the POST, PUT, or DELETE method will never be cached by symfony, regardless of the configuration.
Default: off
The enabled setting enables or disables the cache for the current scope.
Default: false
The with_layout setting determines whether the cache must be for the entire page (true), or for the action only (false).
The with_layout option is not taken into account for partial and component caching as they cannot be decorated by a layout.
Default: 86400
The lifetime setting defines the server-side lifetime of the cache in seconds (86400 seconds equals one day).
Default: Same value as the lifetime one
The client_lifetime setting defines the client-side lifetime of the cache in seconds.
This setting is used to automatically set the Expires header and the max-cache cache control variable, unless a Last-Modified or Expires header has already been set.
You can disable client-side caching by setting the value to 0.
Default: false
The contextual setting determines if the cache depends on the current page context or not. The setting is therefore only meaningful when used for partials and components.
When a partial output is different depending on the template in which it is included, the partial is said to be contextual, and the contextual setting must be set to true. By default, the setting is set to false, which means that the output for partials and components are always the same, wherever it is included.
The cache is still obviously different for a different set of parameters.

What is the Probability of Profit (POP)?
It is the chance of making at least $0.01 on a trade
The Probability of Profit, or more commonly referred to as POP, is the theoretical probability of your equity/etf position(s) making at least $0.01 on a trade. POP uses a set of variables such as position type, whether you are long or short, time, and volatility (for the distribution curve).
What is the Equity Probability of Profit (ePoP)?
It is the chance that your portfolio's equity/ETF positions make at least $0.01.
The Equity Probability of Profit (ePoP) is the theoretical probability of profit of your portfolio's equity/ETF positions (stock & options) making at least $0.01. ePoP does not apply to futures or futures options positions.
Where can I view POP or ePoP?
Profit Probability displays two different ways–a per position level or portfolio level
POP displays during order entry in the trade details area. Additionally, after you open the position, you may view PoP in the Positions tab by adding the POP column.
You can view your Equity PoP, or ePoP, by adding the column to your Account Header Details on the desktop platform. Additionally, ePoP displays to the left of the Account drop-down menu at the top of the web-browser platform.
How do you calculate POP & ePoP?
The POP algorithm has two different modes behind the calculation
Currently, PoP graph view is only available on the web-browser platform. We plan on extending this feature to the desktop platform with future updates. That said, both calculation methods use the portfolio's beta-weighted symbol. By default, the platform beta-weights to SPY. To learn how to change your portfolio's beta-weighted symbol, please click here.
Single Underlying (POP)
When viewing the POP of a single underlying, POP bases it on a simple P/L graph of the underlying. The example below illustrates a single iron condor. Furthermore, a distribution curve based on the portfolio's beta weight is applied (default is SPY). That means if you have a position with a 7-days-to-expiration (DTE) option and a 21 DTE option, then the POP calculation will use the 21 DTE distribution curve (or the volatility index) of the portfolio's beta-weighted symbol. As a result, the total area under the distribution curve when profit goes to 0 equals 1 (shaded yellow) The beta-weighted area in the distribution curve where the position generates a profit (shaded green) is subtracted from 1, thus producing the POP.
Multiple Underlyings (ePoP)
When viewing portfolio ePoP of a portfolio, a single P/L graph of the portfolio generates based on the portfolio's beta-weighted symbol (default is SPY). Similar to the way a single underlying P/L graph generates, the total area under the distribution curve (or volatility index) when profit goes to 0 equals 1 (shaded yellow). The beta-weighted area in the distribution curve where the portfolio generates a profit (shaded green) is subtracted from 1, thus producing the ePoP.

Pumpernickel, the name for the dark-brown, rye bread, comes to us from the German. The German name has been around since at least 1663. The origin is not certain, but it most likely comes from the dialectal German verb pumpern, meaning to fart, and nickel, meaning demon or imp. (Which is from the name Nicholas, a common appellation for evil spirits, as in the English Old Nick; the name of the metal is from the German Kupfernickel, or demon copper, so-called because its color or the ore is deceptive and resembles that of copper.) Evidently the bread is so named because it gives one gas.
Pumpernickel first appears in English in Thomas Nugent's 1756 travelogue The Grand Tour. Nugent, however, gets the etymology wrong, repeating a story that is retold to this day:
Their bread is of the very coarsest kind, ill baked, and as black as a coal, for they never sift their flour. The people of the country call it Pompernickel, which is only a corruption of a French name given it by a gentleman of that nation, who passed through this country. It is reported, that when this coarse bread was brought to table, hye looked at it and said, Qu'il etoit bon pour Nickel, That it was good for Nickel, which was the name of his horse.
Later versions make out the unnamed Frenchman to be Napoleon—an obvious anachronism—and change the French phrase to pain pour Nicol, bread for Nichole. It's a fun story, but quite untrue.

Cohomology and fundamental classes
Given an oriented manifold $M$ and an oriented submanifold $\phi:N\to M$ we can obtain a homology class $\phi_*[N]\in H_*(M)$ where $[N]$ is the fundamental class of $N$. In general, it is not true that every homology class of $M$ can be represented by a submanifold in this manner, however for some special cases it is.
For example, for $M$ an oriented (and closed maybe?) 4-manifold every homology class can be represented by a submanifold. Another example is when $M$ an Euclidean configuration space.
My questions are:
1) Under what circumstances can every homology class of $M$ be represented by a submanifold and
2) What are some examples of manifolds who have homology classes not representable in this manner?

Here are a few simple answers to the question you asked:
 1. Every class in $H_{n-1}(M;Z)$ for $M$ orientable is represented by a submanifold: choose a smooth map $f:M\to S^1$ representing the Poincare dual in $H^1(M;Z)=[M,S^1]$ and take the preimage of a point. In dimensions>2 it can be taken connected.
 2. Similarly, every class in $H_{n-2}(M;Z)$ for $M$ orientable is represented by a submanifold: choose a smooth map $f:M\to CP^\infty$ representing the Poincare dual in $H^2(M;Z)=[M,CP^\infty]$, homotop $f$ into a finite skeleton, say $CP^N$, and take the preimage of $CP^{N-1}$.
 3. Transversality says that if you can represent $x\in H_k(M)$ by a map of a smooth manifold (e.g. elements in the image of the Hurewicz map, or by Thom), and $2k < n$, then you can represent it by an embedded submanifold (as Andy mentions above). For example, any class in $H_1(M)$ for $dim(M)\ge 3$. With care you can also make this work for $2k=n$, and there are techniques available in the "metastable" range (no triple points) involving generalizations of Whitney's trick and other ways to replace double points.

A weaker question replaces "homology class of an embedded submanifold" with $f_{\ast}([M])$ for some compact smooth manifold $M$ and an arbitrary continuous map $f:M \rightarrow X$. Once you give up looking at embedded submanifolds, there is also no reason to restrict yourself to $X$ being a manifold.
A lot was proven about this by Thom in his classic paper "Quelques propriétés globales des variétés différentiables", which is more famous for containing his work on cobordism theory. A few of the results contained in that paper are as follows.
1) Every mod $2$ homology class can be so represented.
2) Integrally, it is true for every class in $H_k$ for $k \leq 6$.
3) For every $k \geq 7$, there exist polyhedra $X$ and classes in $H_k(X)$ that cannot be so represented.
EDIT : One should also remark that the above is germane to the original question too in many cases. Namely, if $X$ is a smooth $n$-manifold and $M$ is a compact smooth $k$-manifold and $f:M \rightarrow X$ is arbitrary, then $f$ is homotopic to an embedding as long as $k < n/2$.

If you really want a submanifold then I guess you can't always do it. For a closed manifold $M$ consider two times the fundamental class $2[M]$. It's easy to see you can't represent this class as a submanifold when $M=S^1$. Perhaps if you take any class in $a\in H_*(M)$ with nonzero self intersection, then $2a$ can't be represented as a submanifold?

About your last sentence: as Paul notes, classes of codim 1 or 2 are always representable. In the codim one case, to double the homology class, compose a map to $S^1$ with the double covering of $S^1$ by itself. – Tim Perutz Apr 13 '10 at 13:46
_USER_: It depends on what you mean by "self-intersection" and whether you allow disconnected submanifolds. eg if you take twice the first generator of H1(T), then 2x\cdot 2x=0 but the curve t\mapsto (e^{4\pi i t},1) has self-intersection 1. But 2 parallel copies of x is an embedded, disconnected manifold that represents 2x – Paul Apr 13 '10 at 14:17
Thanks Paul and Tim for letting me know. – Don Stanley Apr 14 '10 at 12:31


Monthly utilities
just wondering how much do you guys pay a month for water and electricity? for single person and let's say during summer time with AC on half of the time
Both water and electricity are charged on a bimonthly basis. Water is cheap: around $200 every 2 months. Electricity can vary greatly between summer and winter due to the AC. In winter it's never more than $2000, where as the summer bill can push $3000.
2000 in winter and 3000 in summer those are every 2 months?
Yes, so it works out to be $1000 and $1500 per month in winter and summer, respectively.

JioFi is considered the best device for the Jio network but it does not have or support the feature of carrier aggregation. JioFi connects to a single band at a time with no aggregation.
So, is it good or bad for a mobile router?
First, understand why carrier aggregation is so useful. Carrier aggregation in a device helps to offer more bandwidth and faster data speeds by combining different network bands and dedicating it to a single user. In the real-world scenario, the same thing cannot be achieved all the time but rarely.
This feature helps in getting usable speed when all the bands are slow.
Since JioFi is used as a mobile router which is known as a stable mobile network, this feature isn't useful at all. The main reason is unstable connectivity due to frequent connection and disconnection.

Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL)
Light is absorbed by many of the atmospheric components. Absorption of light by molecules is the basis for DIAL which is used to measure the atmospheric concentrations of gases such as water vapor and ozone.
DIAL Measurements of Water Vapor
As shown in figure (a), water vapor has many discrete absorption lines. In water vapor DIAL, laser pulses are transmitted at two wavelengths, one on a water vapor absorption line, λon, and another off-line, λoff. If the two wavelengths are close together, then for both wavelengths the scattering by molecules and particles is essentially equal. The difference in the returns between the two wavelengths is then due entirely to absorption by water vapor molecules, figure (b). Thus, measurement of the ratio of the backscatter at the two wavelengths as a function of range can be used to calculate the water vapor concentration profile.
DIAL Measurements of Ozone
DIAL measurements of ozone require less precise laser frequency because ozone has a broad (~200 nm) absorption band [see figure] instead of narrow lines lines like water vapor. This requires that the onand offwavelengths be chosen with sufficient wavelength separation to ensure a significant difference in their absorption. However, uncertainty in the changes of aerosol scattering and patterning between the wavelengths can introduce error. The difference in aerosol scattering at λon and λoff can be extrapolated from a third measurement taken at a longer wavelength, λa. Therefore, DIAL measurements with three wavelengths can be used to determine ozone concentration profiles to good accuracy.

LEGOLAND Windsor is part of the Merlin Entertainments Group. Opened in 1996, the park extends over 150 acres and is one of four LEGOLAND parks in the world. LEGOLAND Windsor contains over 50 interactive rides, shows and attractions, 11
restaurants and cafes and 7 shops
The requirement was for the supply of both hardware and software for the LEGOLAND theme park in Windsor. LEGOLAND Windsor needed a facility whereby they would be able to monitor the energy used by each isolated ride. As a result, there was a requirement for the installation of data loggers across the park and a system to analyse the collected data.
LEGOLAND Windsor required a system whereby they would be able to:
- Monitor electrical energy data automatically, via an AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) system, which would be capable of expansion
- Analyse energy consumption and observe peak demand
- Create exception reports whereby they would be automatically notified should anomalies arise in the energy data, in turn allowing them to act accordingly
eSight Energy and Enercom worked together to provide the complete solution for LEGOLAND Windsor. A site survey was undertaken to determine the specific requirements across site and a qualified professional assessment was presented to LEGOLAND Windsor along with a fixed price for the programme of works.
Following this Enercom loggers were installed across the site, to supply LEGOLAND Windsor with a thorough breakdown of their energy data.
This half hourly data was then imported back into eSight Energy's energy suite eSight, allowing LEGOLAND Windsor to:
- Examine peak consumption rates and times
- Optimise performance by making energy saving changes and in turn schedule alarms when energy data breached these levels
- Construct and issue energy reports automatically across site

Digging To the North Pole
Wally and Osborne aren't morons, just a bit naive. It's actually about 7,926 miles from the south pole to the north pole. If they could average five feet an hour they could be there in about 955 years. This is of course based on them maintaining that digging speed going through rock and metal as well as being burned up from the heat of the earth's core (Actually little is known about the earth's core but scientists speculate that it is made up of iron and nickel and reaches temperatures over 9000Â°F).


text: This paper experimentally and computationally examines the modal sensors integrated with a recently developed rotary ultrasonic motor (USM) driven by continuous wedge waves of the fundamental modes with the integer circumferential modal number. The traveling wave is formed from constructive interference of two equal-intensity standing waves induced by two comb transducers using dual sinusoidal excitations in 90 degree phase difference. The transducers and modal sensors are segmented in strips around the circumference of piezoelectric tube in the circular wedge-like motor stator. The latter are used to monitor the dynamic response of the stator during operation. The response of USM acquired by the proposed modal sensors has distinct vital characteristics in different frequency bands. The high-pass signals are used not only to note the variation in phase difference between excitations but to detect the resonant frequency, which is altered by payload, wear situation, etc. The low-pass signal reveals the revolution speed and dynamic reaction of the motor stator exerted by frictions and contact forces because of the rotor. The time-frequency response of stator is further characterized during the period in which the revolving direction of rotor is switched over.


Who Invented the Ferris Wheel?
Who Invented the Ferris Wheel?
Called by other names such as the big wheel or observation wheel, Ferris wheels are usually found in theme parks and amusement centers. Within this type of non-building structure, people can sit comfortably in passenger gondolas, which are attached to the rim and are set in a huge upright wheel. Today, you can find some of the biggest structures in countries like Japan, the United States as well as Taiwan. Aside from these wonderful details, there are so many other important things to learn about it including who invented the Ferris wheel.
The Invention of the Ferris Wheel
Who invented the Ferris wheel? The American inventor named George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. designed and invented the Ferris wheel in 1893. It was made for the World's Columbian Exposition that was held in the City of Chicago in Illinois. It was then called the Chicago Wheel, which he did as part of an effort to build something quite impressive just like the Eiffel Tower in France. After this huge event, every ride of similar nature was referred to as Ferris wheel.
Additional Facts and Other Interesting Details
The Ferris wheel was the centerpiece at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. It used two steam engines, which stood at the height of 260 feet or 80 meters. After that, it became part of the Saint Louis 1904 World's Fair. Throughout history, the world has seen different kinds of massive Ferris wheels.
After the Chicago Wheel, the Great Wheel was created in 1895 as part of the Empire of India Exhibition that was held Earls Court in London, England. In 1900, the Exposition Universelle was showcased at the Grande Roue de Paris in France, which lasted only until 1937. In 1997, the Tempozan Harbor Village Ferris Wheel opened in Osaka, Japan, which had a height of 369 feet or 112.5 meters. In 1999, a much taller structure was built in the form of the Daikanransha in Odaiba, Japan. This Ferris wheel is bigger at the height of 380 feet or 115 meters.
In 2000, then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair opened the London Eye in England. The structure was very impressive, which remains as the highest in the entire Western Hemisphere. Years after that, the Star of Nanchang opened in 2006 in Jiangxi Province, China. It stands 520 feet or 160 meters tall. In 2008, the tallest Ferris wheel was established in Singapore. It was called the Singapore Flyer, with a height of 541 feet or 165 meters. Aside from these, there are other massive structures of the same nature available such as the Eurowheel in Italy, the Sky Dream Fukuoka in Japan and the Riesenrad Vienna in Austria.

A bullock cart or ox cart is a two-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicle pulled by oxen (draught cattle). It is a means of transportation used since ancient times in many parts of the world. They are still used today where modern vehicles are too expensive or the infrastructure does not favor them.
Used especially for carrying goods, the bullock cart is pulled by one or several oxen (bullocks). The cart (also known as a jinker) is attached to a bullock team by a special chain attached to yokes, but a rope may also be used for one or two animals. The driver and any other passengers sit on the front of the cart, while load is placed in the back. Traditionally the cargo was usually agrarian goods and lumber.
Costa Rica
In Costa Rica, ox carts (carretas in the Spanish language) were an important aspect of the daily life and commerce, especially between 1850 to 1935, developing a unique construction and decoration tradition that is still being developed. Costa Rican parades and traditional celebrations are not complete without a traditional ox cart parade.
In 1988, the traditional ox cart was declared as National Symbol of Work by the Costa Rican government.
In 2005, the "Oxherding and Oxcart Traditions in Costa Rica" were included in UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
In Indonesia, Bullock Carts are commonly used in the rural parts of the country, where it is used for transporting goods and carriages and also people. But it is mostly common in Indonesia that there are Horse Car than Bullock Carts on the streets of Indonesia.
Bullock carts were widely used in Malaysia before the introduction of automobiles, and many are still used today. These included passenger vehicles, now used especially for tourists. Passenger carts are usually equipped with awnings for protection against sun and rain, and are often gaily decorated.

A Virtual Photography Exhibit
by The Ground Glass
The Ground Glass, a Westchester-based association of fine art photographers, will be hosting "ABSTRACTIONS" a virtual photography exhibit by members.
Abstract photography is depiction of a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world. The abstract image may be produced using traditional photographic equipment such as a camera or, by more contemporary means, with a computer. In other cases, it may be created by manipulating film, photographic paper or materials in the darkroom.
An abstract photograph may isolate a fragment of a given environment in order to disguise its inherent context from the viewer or it may be staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects. The image may also use color, light, shadow, texture, shape or form to convey the feeling or impression intended by the artist.

Multiple owners increase depreciation claims
Split reports help accelerate deductions
An increase in BMT Tax Depreciation Schedules for more than one owner suggests co-ownership is becoming an increasingly popular trend.
It can also balance out the expenses of owning an investment property including ongoing repairs, maintenance and fees. Additionally, co-ownership can provide improved depreciation deductions, allowing more items to be depreciated at a higher rate. This is where a BMT Tax Depreciation split report can assist.
How does a split report work?
A split report calculates depreciation deductions based on each owner's percentage of ownership for each asset. This involves splitting the value of the assets based upon each owner's interest in the assets before applying depreciation rules.
In a scenario where there is just one owner, legislation allows property investors to claim an immediate write-off for assets with an opening value of $300 or less. However, when an investment property is co-owned by two parties with a 50:50 ownership share, a split report allows the owners to each claim an immediate write-off for items where their interest in the asset is below $300. This means the owners can claim an instant write-off for items which are less than $600 in total value.
The same method can be used when applying low-value pooling. Where an owner's interest in an asset is less than $1,000, these items will qualify to be placed in a low-value pool. This means they can be claimed at an increased rate of 18.75 per cent in the first year regardless of the number of days owned and 37.5 per cent from the second year onwards.
In a situation where ownership is split 50:50, by calculating an owner's interest in each asset first, the owners will qualify to pool assets which cost less than $2,000 in total to the low-value pool.
Distributing the value of assets based upon the percentage of ownership first will increase the number of assets which investors are eligible to claim an immediate write-off or low-value pooling for. As a result, the rate at which depreciation deductions can be applied will be accelerated and the owners will receive increased deductions in the earlier years of ownership.
BMT's split reports simplify this process and allow owners to get more from their investment. Each split report can also be provided in CSV format for easy importing into accounting software.
There is an option for owners who prefer a depreciation schedule without any split applied should this be required.
Visit BMT's co-ownership case study page to see how a split schedule increases deductions for two owners.

How Does a Dry-Aging Cabinet Work?
The most important thing about meat-aging is creating the perfect climate for the steak to age properly. In the wrong environment with fluctuating temperatures or humidity levels, any meat can go bad. When the steak is in a controlled environment for the right period of time, it creates a rich, flavorful piece of meat that your customers will enjoy. A dry-aging cabinet allows you to do just that, controlling both temperature, humidity, and ventilation levels in order to properly manage the beef.
What Makes a Good Dry-Aging Cabinet?
A good dry-aging cabinet will have a great ventilation system with advanced temperature control that keeps the meat from spoiling, aging it to perfection. When looking for a dry-aging cabinet, those systems should create a cold and humid climate to ensure optimal drying and ripening process.
As one of the most temperature-sensitive foods, it's important to have your steak properly stored and controlled from the moment you receive it. In order for the steak to dry-age correctly to achieve flavorful profiles, it needs to live in a climate between 34.7 degrees to 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit. With such a tight temperature window, a dry-aging cabinet will need all the right technology to maintain these levels.
Oxygen is also important to the dry-aging process. The oxygen ventilation allows the signature dry-age crusting to form. Bad germs can form in "standing" air, so having good ventilation is crucial to keeping a constant flow of fresh and clean.
How to Find a Premium Dry-Aging Cabinet
Having a great dry-aging cabinet is important to properly aging your steak so you can offer your customers premium, dry-aged beef. At The Aging Room, our dry-aging chamber combines traditional aging processes with modern technologies. Precise climate control equipment combined with a Himalayan salt wall creates an aging-friendly, natural microclimate to dry-age steaks.
With a premium dry ager like The Aging Room Chamber, you get more benefits on top of the perfect system to manage temperature and climate:
 1. The volume of the interior of the chamber is designed to maximize the effectiveness of the aging process.
 2. All systems of the chamber create and circulate a salty cold and humid microclimate to ensure an optimal drying and ripening process.
 3. The lighting in the chamber, including the lighting behind the salt, is calibrated to create an enticing visual experience for the customer.
 4. All steel fittings and insulation inside the chamber have been tested to withstand the high humidity and salt environment.
 5. We provide a high-quality wooden butcher block so your meat specialist can cut the steaks inside the chamber.

Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, Vol.492, 283-292, 2008
Effect of Complex Ion Beam/Plasma Treatment of the Surface Functionalization and Crystal Phase Transition of Piezoelectric Poly(vinylidene fluoride)
We scrutinized the effect of complex ion beam and plasma treatment on the surface functionalization and crystal phase change of poly(vinylidene fluoride) films. The stretched and poled PVDF films were used for this investigation. Ion-beam and plasma treatment were employed for the surface modification of PVDF. The surface treatments induced some changes of chemical composition as well as changed the morphology of PVDF surface. It had a large influence on the interfacial adhesion with thermally deposited metal electrodes on the PVDF. Surface modifications such as ion beam irradiation and plasma treatment played a pivotal role in the determination of interfacial strength between PVDF and electrodes as well as the change of crystal structure in electromechanical PVDF film. While the amount of beta-phase crystal in PVDF decreased with treatment time, the interfacial adhesion increased with the modification time. In this research, we were able to find optimum treatment conditions for enhancing the adhesion and retaining piezoelectric structure.

Might As Well Jump
Laszlo Laufer and Bottyan Nemeth, two Hungarian researchers at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, have found that gamer's button pressing is predicatable two seconds beforehand based on skin conductance. Using a basic game called YetiSports JungleSwing that involves a yeti jumping from tree to tree, they measured volunteer's heart rate, skin conductance and electrical activity. After analysis of the data, they found that skin conductance by itself is enough to predict a jump two seconds before the player does it.
They think the technology could have useful applications for pilots among others, helping to speed up reaction time. They also see usefulness in computer games that could incessantly piss you off by predicting your next move. Sensors could probably easily be built into the next generation of console controllers with feedback actually affecting gameplay. To what extent is obviously unknown, but this should come in handy when somebody creates a game where you have to fight a gun-wielding psychic.

IPRotate is a tool used for Burp Suite which uses AWS API Gateway to change your IP on every request. This extension allows you to easily spin up API Gateways across multiple regions.
All the Burp Suite traffic for the targeted host is then routed through the API Gateway endpoints which causes the IP to be different on each request. (There is a chance for recycling of IPs but this is pretty low and the more regions you use the less of a chance.)
This is useful to bypass different kinds of IP blocking like bruteforce protection that blocks based on IP, API rate limiting based on IP or WAF blocking based on IP etc.
- Setup Jython in Burp Suite
- Install the boto3 module for Python 2
pip install boto3
- Ensure you have a set of AWS keys that have full access to the API Gateway service. This is available through the free tier of AWS.
- Insert the credentials into the fields.
- Insert the target domain you wish to target.
- Select HTTPS if the domain is hosted over HTTPS.
- Select all the regions you want to use.(The more you use the larger the IP pool will be)
- Click "Enable".
- Once you are done ensure you click disable to delete all the resources which were started.
If you want to check on the resources and enpoints that were started or any potential errors you can look at the output console in Burp.
The Burp UI
Make sure you have Jython installed and add IPRotate.py through the Burp Extension options.

Purpose: A structured didactic radiation oncology clerkship curriculum for medical students is in use at multiple academic medical centers. Objective evidence supporting this educational approach over the traditional clerkship model is lacking. This study evaluated the curriculum efficacy using an objective knowledge assessment. Methods and Materials: Medical students received the Radiation Oncology Education Collaborative Study Group (ROECSG) curriculum consisting of 3 lectures (Overview of Radiation Oncology, Radiation Biology/Physics, and Practical Aspects of Simulation/Radiation Emergencies) and a radiation oncology treatment-planning workshop. A standardized 20-item multiple choice question (MCQ) knowledge assessment was completed preand post-curriculum and approximately 6 months after receiving the curriculum. Results: One hundred forty-six students at 22 academic medical centers completed the ROECSG curriculum from July to November 2016. One hundred nine students completed preand post-clerkship MCQ knowledge assessments (response rate 74.7%). Twenty-four students reported a prior rotation at a ROECSG institution and were excluded from analysis. Mean assessment scores increased from preto post-curriculum (63.9% vs 80.2%, P <.01). Mean MCQ knowledge subdomain assessment scores all improved post-curriculum (t test, P values <.01). Post-scores for students rotating de novo at ROECSG institutions (n = 30) were higher compared with pre-scores for students with ≥1 prior rotations at non-ROECSG institutions (n = 55) (77.3% vs 68.8%, P =.01), with an effect size of 0.8. Students who completed rotations at ROECSG institutions continued to demonstrate a trend toward improved performance on the objective knowledge assessment at approximately 6 months after curriculum exposure (70.5% vs 65.6%, P =.11). Conclusions: Objective evaluation of a structured didactic curriculum for the radiation oncology clerkship at early and late time points demonstrated significant improvement in radiation oncology knowledge. Students who completed clerkships at ROECSG institutions performed objectively better than students who completed clerkships at non-ROECSG institutions. These results support including a structured didactic curriculum as a standard component of the radiation oncology clerkship.

Local elementary school students are turning nickles into homes for people in need.
It's part of the La Crescent-Hokah elementary school Nickles for Nicaragua fundraiser.
The school put collection jars in each classroom for students to drop money in with a goal of being able to build a home for a family in need. They raised more than $2,000.
Along with being able to help a family in Nicaragua, it was also a learning experience for the students.
"They're one of the poorest countries in the world, it would be nice to help them because, with their houses, we're building some so they can have a better life," said students Maya Colby and Alana Andersen.
The teachers hope the project will help the students learn the value of giving early in their lives.

Wondering if Weather Affects Your Hair Transplant?
Warmer weather brings with it outdoor barbecues, days at the swimming pool, and other fun activities. It also raises questions in patients about hair restoration in San Jose and other warm climate areas. People are often curious about how warmer weather affects healing after a hair transplant. This article looks at that topic.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
Let $X,Y$ be complex manifolds and let $f: X \rightarrow Y$ be a continuous map. When exactly do we say that $f$ is "holomorphic"? I am interested in the basic definition (possibly using charts), not an equivalent characterization.

If $p$ is a point of $X$, then we say $f$ is holomorphic at $p$ if there is a chart $(U, \phi)$ on $X$ with $p \in U$, and a chart $(V, \psi)$ on $Y$ with $\phi(p) \in V$, such that $f(U) \subseteq V$ and the induced map
$$ \phi(U) \stackrel{\phi^{-1}}\longrightarrow U \stackrel{f}{\to} V \stackrel{\psi}{\to}\mathbb{C}^n $$
is holomorphic in the familiar sense (using $\phi(U) \subseteq \mathbb{C}^n$).
We say $f$ is holomorphic if it is holomorphic at all points.

Do we say that if $f$ satisfies the property you described using charts for a point $p$, then it is "locally holomorphic"? – Manos Sep 18 '12 at 18:04

What's the Difference Between a Ford 351 Windsor, Cleveland, or Modified Engine?
Despite all having a similar 351 cubic inch displacement, there are a few distinct types of Ford "351" engines, like this Cleveland pictured here. (Image/Jim Smart)
Engines are often identified by their displacement, like the ubiquitous Chevy 350, Mopar 440, or Ford Five-Oh.
But displacement alone isn't always the best differentiator, and nowhere is that more evident than with the Ford 351 engines.
Sure, '351' refers to the engine size, but there were essentially three major versions of the Ford 351—the Windsor, Cleveland, and Modified*.
*Officially, Ford never called these engines 400/351 Modified or 400M/351M. "Modified" was a slang designation originally applied by Ford enthusiasts, and the name just stuck. You'll also hear folks define the "M" as "Michigan" after the engine's original casting plant. The etymology doesn't really matter, it's just a way for us to distinguish it from the other 351 engines.
What version you have is very important to know, because major parts from each engine are not interchangeable.
To clear up any confusion, and to help you avoid buying the wrong parts, here's a quick rundown on each motor so you can know for sure what you've got in your garage.
(Summit Racing's Tom Lynch contributed to this article.)
The Three 351s.
351 Windsor
The 351W is named for the factory in Windsor, Ontario that produced them. It is part of the long-running Ford small block Windsor V8 family, which also includes the venerable Ford 302 (5.0L) V8. It shares the same small block V8 bellhousing pattern and motor mounts of the August 1964+ Windsor engines*. Key differences from the other Windsor engines include a taller deck height, unique firing order, and longer stroke.
*Pre-August 1964 engines (221/260/289) had a narrow 5-bolt bellhousing pattern, also referred to as the early V8 Windsor pattern. All post-August 1964 Windsor engines use a wider 6-bolt pattern (including all 351W), commonly referred to as the small block V8 pattern. The patterns are not interchangeable.
It's far more common than the 351 Cleveland, and though it doesn't have the "high performance" aura of its 351C counterpart, there is plenty of aftermarket support for it. Engine builders and hotrodders have no problems pulling gobs of horsepower out of these engines, and popular upgrades include cylinder heads, camshaft, headers, and intake manifold.
The 351 Windsor is a common sight under the hood of older Ford cars and trucks. (Image/Summit Racing)
351 Cleveland
The 351C was built in Ford's Cleveland, Ohio factory, and is part of the Ford 335 engine family. Back in the day, the 351C was considered the go-to Ford performance engine, thanks to its better-flowing cylinder heads and stronger crankshaft. Ford made both 2V and 4V cylinder head versions for the 351C, with the latter 4V heads being the more performance-oriented versions.
Unfortunately, Ford only produced the 351 Cleveland for five years (in the U.S. at least, Australia got the engine up until 1982). The engine's rarity makes it a more expensive platform for an engine build, though it's capable of making impressive power with the right upgrades. And, for what it's worth, there's still a ton of Blue Oval cache in saying you've got a real Cleveland under your hood.
351 Modified
The 351M is part of the same Ford 335 V8 engine series as the 351 Cleveland. It's based off of the 400 Modified engine (see note on nomenclature in opening paragraph), which was essentially a 351C with a longer stroke. Unlike the 351C however, the 400 block had the bellhousing bolt pattern of 385-series big blocks. It also had a higher deck height to accommodate the longer stroke.
As the 351 Cleveland faded away, Ford engineers reverted to the original 351C's 3.5-inch stroke, yet retained the 400's deck height to create the 351M. The bellhousing bolt pattern on the 351M uses the same pattern as the 385-series big block engines as well. (That means, even though they're related, transmissions, intake manifolds, and other parts may not be interchangeable between a 351C and 351M.)
It's also worth noting that the 351M was only available from the factory with a 2-barrel carburetor.
How can you tell the difference between the 351 engines by looking at them?
Three Easy Visual Differences Between the 351W and 351C/351M.
 - Radiator Hose. On a Cleveland/Modified engine, the radiator hose (and thermostat housing) sticks vertically right out of the top of the engine block. Windsor engines have the radiator hose and thermostat installed into the intake manifold, where it exits from the front of the engine.
 - Valve Covers. Windsor valve covers use 6-bolt covers, whereas the Cleveland/Modified uses 8-bolt covers.
 - Timing Chain. Cleveland/Modified engines have the timing chain recessed into the front of the block itself, and its timing cover is essentially just a flat piece of metal. The Windsor's timing chain attaches to the front of the engine and has an external timing cover typically made of cast aluminum.
Three Easy Visual Differences Between the 351C and 351M
 - Cleveland engines share a bellhousing bolt pattern with the Windsor family. 351M engines use the bellhousing bolt pattern of the 385-series Ford big blocks.
 - Due to a higher deck, the 351M's intake manifold is wider than a 351C.
 - Motor Mounts. 351 Cleveland mounts use two bolts to attach to the engine, whereas the Modified uses three.
If you're not sure what bellhousing you have, check out this handy transmission I.D. chart.
Why the Three Engines?
Though they share displacements, each motor was built and configured for different applications.
For instance, the 4V-351 Cleveland went in the top-tier performance cars, but the 2V351C engines could be found in a smattering of medium-to-full size 1970-74 passenger sedans too. By comparison, the 351M was used in 1975-82 passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs.
(Ford engineers however, seemed to have stuffed a 351 Windsor in darn-near everything short of their coffee makers.)
And that's what causes the confusion. Swaps between the three engines are common, so you can't always match the engine to the vehicle you found it in. And, given the lack of interchangeability between key components, it's absolutely critical to know what you're wrenching on.
To put it into perspective, Ford offered the 351 Cleveland from 1970-74 (in the U.S.) and the 351 Modified from 1975-82. The 351 Windsor was available from 1969-97, making it by far the most common engine of the trio.
As a final historical footnote, the introduction of the overhead-cam Ford Modular V8 in 1991 meant that the Windsor, Cleveland, and Modified engines represent the final pushrod V8s designed by Ford.

 1. The 'M' actually does stand for 'Modified'. Reference the Ford Master Parts Catalog. Also a point of clarification, the M/400 also had a small bell pattern as well. I can provide pics of both as necessary.
 - Yes if you could I got an 80 f150 4×4 351 mod original engine but I never had a 351 m and not sure what I'm getting into rebuilding it
 - Years ago we called the 351M a "Michigan" or "Midland" because it was from the Midland Michigan plant.
 - Ben you are correct on both statements. And the 400 was not an M, just a 400 351 M was a modified 400
 - Just wondering is the 400 a big block or small people argue with me about all the time
 - Redneckgearhead says:
 Imo Ford never made a "big block" or "small block" that is a general motors designation. Ford had different series engines. But again my opinion.
 - The 335 series engines (C/M) share what's known as the basic architecture, bore spacing, etc., with the Windsor family of engines, commonly known as the Small Block Ford. That would make the C/M engines technically 'small blocks,' albiet different ones from the W's. They are not nearly as big as the FE engines or the 429/460's. Interestingly, the old Y-block engines from 54-64 have the same bore spacing, too. The 260/289 was an updated replacement for the Y-block. The 335 series, with its design dating back to the mid 60's, was originally intended to be the replacement for the 289/302, but government regulations and the oil embargo, mpg concerns, etc., in the early 70's changed all that.
 - Big block. The 351/W is the small block. I have had the (W) in a 93 F150 4×4 & a (C) in a 79 4×4 both were great motors.
 - 400 and down

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search
Doyle (Japanese: アラタ Arata) is a Pokémon Trainer and, along with Christie, is a character of the day in Where Did You Go, Audino?.
Doyle was determined to find out what was causing Audino to disappear from the village after his grandfather's Audino had vanished. He and Christie would often argue about who would discover the missing Audino first and would compete with one another using their Psychic Pokémon. He had a hunch that an evil organization was taking control of the Audino.
Later on, Doyle was partnered with Ash to watch after an elderly couple's Audino on which they put a tracking device. The Audino soon started acting strange and they followed it and met up with Officer Jenny, Cilan, Christie, and Iris. Doyle managed to slow one of them down with Solosis's Psychic.
Doyle and the others soon found all of the missing Audino and found out that they were being lured by sound waves that Team Rocket had created. He then used Solosis to battle both Jessie's Woobat and James's Yamask. After the case was solved, Doyle was eager to know if Solosis had helped out more than Christie's Gothita, to which Officer Jenny informed the both of them that Ash's Roggenrola helped out the most.
Doyle's Solosis
Solosis was used by Doyle to help locate the missing Audino. Upon encountering Ash and his friends, Doyle commanded it to use Psychic on them as he thought they were suspects. Later, it helped up by getting the group over a cliff so that they wouldn't lose sight of Audino. Solosis was then used to battle Team Rocket by using Confuse Ray on Woobat and Night Shade on Yamask.
Solosis's known moves are Psychic, Confuse Ray and Night Shade.

Kiln Setings Video Instructions for Patsy Croft Kilns of Enameling and Jewelry
The Built-in Digital Set Point Controller on the 66F-TEW Kilns
The Built-in Digital Set Point Controller on the 55F-TE and the 55F-TEW Kilns
Enameling and Jewelry Kiln operating instructions.
The TEC220 Three-button Controller is a highly accurate and customizable instrument. In this installation, the controller's basic setpoint functions are used to reach your target temperature rapidly. Once plugged in and after an initial startup sequence, the controller displays the current interior kiln temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F). With the "ELEMENTS ON" toggle switch in the UP/ON position, the kiln will immediately begin to heat and will seek the last programed set point temperature.
To change the target temperature:
 1. With the toggle in the off position, press the SET key (first key on left) until you see the displays SPI.
 2. Now press the "UP" or "DOWN" Arrow keys to your desired temperature.
 3. Then press both the up and down keys at the same time to see your new set temperature.
 4. It will began to recalibrate to the new set point temperature.
Opening the kiln door during heating will cause the temperature to drop quickly. Temperature recovery to your set point is rapid. I fire at 1400 degrees on average and I can open the door, place my jewel in side, close the door and the temperature has regained my set point in several seconds.
My kilns do not have a silent relay. I choose this because it clicks which is a signal to me it is at temperature. And a reminder the kiln is on before leaving the studio.
Be aware that the kiln's elements are "ON" and may have 120 volts to them when the toggle is in the UP/ON position. Always flip the toggle to the off position, "elements off" when you are finished firing.

Why would you set-up a backup?
In the case that you lose your data you can easily import your backupdata back into Salesforce. To generate backup data, Salesforce offers an automated backup export on a weekly or monthly basis depending on your edition. You can export all your organization's data into a set of comma-separated values (CSV) files.
What to take into account before setting up an automated backup
- Users with the "Weekly Export" permission can view all exported data and all custom objects and fields in the Export Service page. This permission is granted by default only to the System Administrator profile because it enables wide visibility.
- Selecting 'Include images', documents, and attachments' and 'Include Chatter files and Salesforce CRM Content document versions' increases data export processing time.
How to setup an automated backup export
- From Setup, enter Data Export in the Quick Find box, then select Data Export and Schedule Export.
- Select the desired encoding for your export file.
- Select Include images, documents, and attachments and Include Chatter files and Salesforce CRM Content document versions to include these items in your export data.
- Select Replace carriage returns with spaces to have spaces instead of carriage returns or line breaks in your export files. This selection is useful if you plan to use your export files for importing or other integrations.
- If you're scheduling your export, select the frequency (only available for organizations with monthly exports), start and end dates, and time of day for your export.
- Under Exported Data, select the types of data to include in your export. We recommend that you select Include all data if you are not familiar with the terminology used for some of the types of data. Note the following:
- Formula and roll-up summary fields are always excluded from exports.
- If your organization uses divisions, data from all divisions is included in the export.
- If your organization uses person accounts and you are exporting accounts, all account fields are included in the account data.
- If your organization uses person accounts and you are exporting contacts, person account records are included in the contact data. However, the contact data only includes the fields shared by contacts and person accounts.
- For information on field limitations, see the Salesforce Field Reference Guide.
- Click Start Export or Save.
Salesforce creates a zip archive of CSV files and emails you when it's ready. Exports complete as soon as possible, however we can't guarantee the date and time of completion. Large exports are broken up into multiple files. Follow the link in the email or click Data Export to download the zip file. Zip files are deleted 48 hours after the email is sent. The 48-hour time limit doesn't include weekends, so if your download file is ready on Thursday at 4 p.m., that file isn't deleted until Monday at 4 p.m.

Cislunar space (alternatively, cis-lunar space) is the volume within the Moon's orbit, or a sphere formed by rotating that orbit. Volumes within that such as low earth orbit (LEO) are distinguished by other names. Practically, cislunar space is a useful label for "the volume between geostationary orbit and the moon's orbit". Beyond cislunar space lies translunar space.
Cis-lunar is Latin for "on this side of the moon" but also "not beyond the moon". Therefore, one might regard the Lagrange points L4 and L5, the stable regions of the Moon's Trojan points, as cislunar, but in practice they are so interesting as to be likely to be talked about in their own right.

Nanoscale Research Letters 2014, 9:455 doi:10.1186/1556-276X-9-455
Published: 31 August 2014
Abstract (provisional)
The properties of mechanically and electrically processed silicon surfaces were evaluated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Silicon specimens were processed using an electrically conductive diamond tip with and without vibration. After the electrical processing, protuberances were generated and the electric current through the silicon surface decreased because of local anodic oxidation. Grooves were formed by mechanical processing without vibration, and the electric current increased. In contrast, mechanical processing with vibration caused the surface to protuberate and the electrical resistance increased similar to that observed for electrical processing. With sequential processing, the local oxide layer formed by electrical processing can be removed by mechanical processing using the same tip without vibration. Although the electrical resistance is decreased by the mechanical processing without vibration, additional electrical processing on the mechanically processed area further increases the electrical resistance of the surface.
