A Definite Assignment Anomaly
A Definite Assignment Anomaly

UPDATE: I have discovered that this issue is considerably weirder than the initial bug report led me to believe. I've rewritten the examples in this article; the previous ones did not actually demonstrate the bug.
 Consider the following code:
struct S
 private string blah;
 public S(string blah)
 this.blah = blah;
 public void Frob()
 { // whatever
This method body code fragment is legal (though probably ill-advised):
S s1 = new S();
Every struct has a default constructor which initializes its fields to their default values; this frobs the zero handle.
What about this?
S s2;
Looks like a definite assignment error, doesn't it?
An interesting and little-known fact about the C# compiler is that this is reported as a definite assignment error if the struct is compiled from source code, but not if the struct is in a referenced assembly! What is the reasoning behind this seemingly anomalous behaviour?
Well, consider the following related situation:
struct SS
 public int x;
 public int y;
 public void Bar() {…}
Here we have the pure unadulterated evil that is a mutable value type. Is this legal?
SS ss;
ss.x = 123;
ss.y = 456;
Yes, that is legal. The local variable s essentially has two sub-variables, x and y. If x and y are both definitely assigned, then s is also considered to be definitely assigned. When checking definite assignment on a struct, the compiler actually checks to see whether we know that every field of the struct has been initialized. A constructor call is assumed to automatically initialize every field, but if there is not a constructor call, then we simply track every field independently and then pool the results. (And if the fields are themselves of value type, we do so recursively of course.)
The anomaly happens because when the compiler sees that the type in question is in source code, it tracks the definite assignment of all the fields, detects that "s1.blah" is an unassigned field, and gives a definite assignment error on s1. But when the type in question is from a referenced assembly, the compiler ignores inaccessible fields of reference type. We see that there were zero fields initialized out of the zero accessible fields that needed to be initialized, and declare that s1 must be fully assigned!
UPDATE: Initially I thought this behaviour was odd and undesirable but plausibly justifiable. However I have since learned that in fact, for reasons still obscure to me, the compiler only ignores inaccessible fields of reference type. Inaccessible fields of value type are still tracked for definite assignment. This weird inconsistency points strongly in the direction of this being a bug, not a feature. Continuing with my original text...
This behaviour is undoubtedly weird; whether it is desirable or not is a judgment call. There certainly is an argument to be made that the user has no ability to do anything about a private field on an imported type; a type they almost certainly did not author themselves, do not know the details of, and cannot change. Whereas if the type is in source code, then the user running the compiler has personal knowledge of its internals. So, the argument goes, we should give the user a pass on having to prove that the fields they cannot access and know nothing about are assigned; just let them be assigned to their default values and don't worry about them.
There is also the (more compelling to me) argument that we ought to be consistent here and either consider all the fields all the time, or consider only the accessible fields all the time, rather than swapping back and forth between the two choices depending on the details of the compilation process. My choice would be the former; force the user to call the default constructor or use the "default(T)" operator if they really want the all-zero default version of the struct. That makes the intention very clear in the code.
Unfortunately, though I think I've argued that this behaviour is plausibly undesirable, we're stuck with it. There are numerous BCL structs which have no public fields, and lots of existing code which uses them without calling the default constructor. Changing now to make this an error is a breaking change with no compelling benefit, and we're not going to do that. Particularly since the anomaly is essentially harmless; whether we force you to say "s1 = new S()" or not, the handle field is in practice always initialized to its default value.
Nor do I think we should change this by making the code legal in all cases, even if the type is in source code; that's making a bad situation worse merely in order to achieve consistency. This seems like the very definition of "foolish consistency".
 - This is an interesting case. I was not aware there were situations where the compiler would allow you to declare a local instance without either initializing it or calling a constructor explicitly. Back in my C++ days, I recall many a time when local instances would be declared using a constructorless notation:
 S s1; // default constructor automatically called
 I always found this notation confusing - particularly since to following is also legal, but much more obvious:
 S s1 = S(); // also legal but clearer
 - _USER_:
 When compiling the version which is in the same assembly, does it complain regardless of the contents of Frob(). Or does it actually check whether Frob() references fields, and complain about those specifically?
 To be more precise, say I have Frob implemented thus:
 void Frob() { handle =...; }
 Would it still complain about the lack of definite initialization? If not, and if I call Frob on uninitialized handle, will it recognize s.handle as initialized after Frob returns for the purposes of definite initialization? Or does it generally assume that any method call on a struct will access all its fields?
 (I kinda have to ask because the behavior that you describe only makes some sense to me if compiler actually does cross-method boundary analysis for definite assignment for methods for which it has the source code).
 _USER_: your second C++ snippet requires a copy constructor to exist (even if it's optimized away, which it legally can be), while the first one does not, so there is a difference. I don't really have a problem with the parentheses-less syntax as such; the real evilness of C++ is the distinction between POD and non-POD, and initialization thereof.
 We do not do cross-method analysis. Basically, it's analyzed as though the code
 was actually written as
 MyHandle.Frob(ref h1);
 Since we are passing a variable as "ref", it must be definitely assigned before the method call. We check definite assignment on structs by verifying that all known fields of the struct are fully assigned. In the "import from metadata" case, we don't even load information about private fields off of the disk, so as far as we know, its fully assigned. But in source code, we have all the private field info available in memory already, and we use it. -- Eric
 - Is this behavior in line with the specification?
 Good question. The spec says "A struct-type variable is considered definitely assigned if each of its instance variables is considered definitely assigned." Notice that it does not say "each of its accessible instance variables'. So technically, I suppose this is a violation of the specification. -- Eric
 - Pavel does make a point though.
 Suppose I have this silly mutable value type:
 public struct Point {
 public int X { get; set; }
 public int Y { get; set; }
 public Color Color { get; set; }
 public void GetColorFromWhatever(Whatever) {
 Color =...;
 and I call
 Point p;
 p.X = x;
 p.Y = y;
 Obviously (obvious to the programmer, not to the compiler), this is what I meant to do albeit a bit awkward. I don't really want to assign color since it's a calculated value. But I have to either do
 Point p = new Point();
 p.Color = dummy;
 I was willing to accept that - I prefer calling the constructor anyway. But now you tell me that if Color was a struct in a different assembly it would work - now that suddenly doesn't make sense.
 - [quote]Every struct has a default constructor which initializes its fields to their default values[/quote]
 This is the real problem IMHO. As far as I'm concerned, there should never be an implicit parameter-less (default) constructor - if the dev wanted the object to be called with a parameter-less constructor, it would be in the definition. I've been bitten by this back in my C++ days (though for the life of me I don't remember the context, only that it was a PITA to track down), and hoped that C# was immune to it.
 I'm sure there is some reason for it, but does that reason outweigh the problems?
 - An important case to consider in this discussion is this one:
 S[] sArray = new S[_PHONE_];
 If you require me to call S's constructor, how will you make sure I call it for all the values of this array?
 In the case of arrays of classes, it's simple, because they're initialized to null, which means to class exists yet. But in the case of a value type, as soon as you allocate space, you have a struct.

We evaluated the dynamics of walleye Sander vitreus population size structure, as indexed by the proportional size distribution (PSD) of quality-length fish, in Escanaba Lake during 1967–2003 and in 204 other lakes in northern Wisconsin during 1990–2011. We estimated PSD from angler-caught walleyes in Escanaba Lake and from spring electrofishing in 204 other lakes, and then related PSD to annual estimates of recruitment to age-3, length at age 3, and annual angling exploitation rate. In Escanaba Lake during 1967–2003, annual estimates of PSD were highly dynamic, growth (positively) explained 35% of PSD variation, recruitment explained only 3% of PSD variation, and exploitation explained only 7% of PSD variation. In 204 other northern Wisconsin lakes during 1990–2011, PSD varied widely among lakes, recruitment (negatively) explained 29% of PSD variation, growth (positively) explained 21% of PSD variation, and exploitation explained only 4% of PSD variation. We conclude that population size structure was most strongly driven by recruitment and growth, rather than exploitation, in northern Wisconsin walleye populations. Studies of other species over wide spatial and temporal ranges of recruitment, growth, and mortality are needed to determine which dynamic rate most strongly influences population size structure of other species. Our findings indicate a need to be cautious about assuming exploitation is a strong driver of walleye population size structure.

Here are some interesting points from a study of over 775 fiat currencies.
- Shortest life span: 1 month
- Average life span: 27 years
- Longest life span: 317 years (pound sterling). However, the pound sterling has lost 99.5% of its original value.
So, what happened to these currencies?
- 20% failed through hyperinflation
- 21% were destroyed by war
- 12% destroyed by independence
- 24% were monetarily reformed
- 23% are still in circulation
So… 41% of fiat currencies were destroyed by the very policies NATO countries are undertaking every day? That sounds promising for economic stability and recovery!

what does pheasant taste like
Many people like the idea of eating pheasant because it is seen as a somewhat exotic dish. If you have never eaten it before, are you curious about it? Do you ever think to yourself, what does pheasant taste like?
Pheasant is a type of poultry and is fairly similar in texture and taste to chicken, or turkey. Just like chicken and turkey, it has a combination of both white and dark meat. Pheasant has very little natural fat, so when you cook it, you have to be careful not to let it become too dry, otherwise, it will be bland, tasteless, and tough. But, with the right recipe, if cooked with care, the pheasant can taste absolutely delicious and leave you salivating for more.
Pheasant is best cooked on the bone, with butter and seasonings slipped under the skin, in order to give you a soft, moist and tender dish. Later on in this article, we will look at one or two recipes and methods of cooking pheasant in order to guide you with preparing it in the most delectable way.
If you called up a gourmet foodie and asked, "What does pheasant taste like?" The reply will be that while pheasant may taste similar to chicken, its true flavor is more like game meat, with a smokey flavor. Wild pheasant has a fairly strong, aromatic flavor. It has quite a distinctive taste.
If you have ever cooked turkey, you will know that it takes a long time to cook to perfection. I remember my Mom cooking turkey every year for the holidays. The aroma that wafted through the house as the turkey took its time slow-roasting in the oven made us all walk around with our tongues hanging out, nagging for just a quick taste. But my Mom was adamant, saying "Good food takes time to prepare. When it's ready, the wait will be worth it."
She was so right about that. And when wondering what pheasant tastes like, the same rule of thumb applies to cooking it. Slow roasting on medium heat, with just the right seasonings and sauces, will give you the ultimate melt-in-your-mouth taste of perfectly cooked pheasant.

Is Pheasant Healthy to Eat?
Pheasant is considered by nutritionists to be an extremely healthy source of protein. With our frenetic lifestyles today, many people often tend to choose the easy way out, eating a lot of fast foods, processed meats, rich dairy products, and foods high in trans-fats.
It is no secret that making a habit of eating these foods and following this type of diet is a sure way to cause damage to your arteries. There is more and more emphasis today on the importance of following a healthy diet, and the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.
If you are wondering what pheasant tastes like, you might also like to know that making it a regular part of your diet has many health benefits. It is very lean, making it low in saturated fats. Unlike certain red meats, pheasant will not clog your arteries with fatty deposits. If you suffer from high cholesterol, you can safely allow pheasant to appear regularly on your table.
What Do Pheasants Eat?
what does pheasant taste like
When trying to answer the question, what does pheasant taste like, it is helpful to look at what pheasants themselves eat? I remember an old favorite television advert, from my childhood, for a certain brand of frozen chicken. The slogan was a simple, but highly memorable one. The reason that they taste so good, is because they eat so well. The same principle would apply to pheasants.
In the wild, pheasants eat fruit, seeds, insects, and even small mammals. Farm-reared pheasants are usually fed a healthy diet of mixed grains, corn, and seeds. They are not fed a fatty diet and are not given any meat to eat. The result is that pheasant is a healthy source of lean protein.
In addition to its protein value, pheasant meat is also rich in vitamins B-6 and B-12. It contains essential minerals such as selenium and potassium and is low in sodium. All-in-all, pheasant is not only an exotic and alluring dish. It is also a healthy and nutritious choice.
Can You Eat Pheasant Eggs?
Pheasant eggs are full of healthy nutrients. They are very rich in protein and amino acids and contain high levels of vitamins B and D. There are many delicious ways to cook these eggs, either on their own or as valuable ingredients in other dishes.
What is the Best Way to Cook Pheasant?
Before actually cooking your pheasant, it is necessary to clean it very well. If you buy from a reputable butcher, it should have already been hung for a few days to ensure that the meat is soft and tender.
Your butcher should also have made sure that your bird has been plucked clean and does not have any stray feathers. When you unwrap it before cooking, even if it looks clean, it is recommended to wash it well by rinsing thoroughly under cold running water. Remember to rinse the inside cavity well, too. You will also want to dry it carefully, in order to prevent the juices from being too watery when you cook it.
Should You Cook Pheasant in the Oven, or on the Stove Top?
You will achieve the best results from slow-roasting your pheasant in the oven at a medium temperature of about 330-350 degrees Fahrenheit. Any hotter than that and your bird will dry out. If you attempt to cook pheasant on the stovetop, the heat of the flame will be too intense and it will not cook evenly. The outside will be hard and dry, while the inside might be under-done.
How Should You Prepare the Pheasant?
what does pheasant taste like
My favorite recipe is so simple and straightforward, but oh so scrumptious! I honestly believe that a recipe does not have to be complicated and intricate, and long and involved, in order to be good. In fact, it is often the simplest and easiest recipes that yield the best results. An added bonus to this recipe is the fact that you literally only dirty two dishes in your kitchen.
 - 1 whole pheasant
 - 3 cups of water
 - 3 tablespoons coarse salt
 - 1 tablespoon sugar
 - 2 bay leaves
 - 2 tablespoons good quality olive oil or softened butter
 - A little maple syrup
 - A sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper
 - Fresh thyme
 - Cut up carrot sticks
 - 1 whole onion, peeled
First, soak the bird in brine. Make the brine by boiling the water, salt, bay leaves, and sugar. Cover and leave to cool completely. When cool, pour the brine over the bird and place it in the fridge for about 8 hours, or overnight.
Hint: if you like nice, crispy skin, remove the bird from the brine and leave it uncovered in the fridge for another 4-6 hours.
Take the pheasant out of the fridge and, while it reaches room temperature, preheat your oven to at least 400 degrees. Rub the bird well with olive oil or softened butter. Try to slip some under the skin as well. This will give you lovely golden, crispy skin. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper and drizzle very lightly with maple syrup.
Stuff the cavity with the onion, carrot sticks and fresh thyme. Place in a roasting pan and roast uncovered in the oven on high for only fifteen minutes. Take the dish out of the oven, and turn the temperature down to 330-350 degrees. You can leave the oven door slightly ajar to speed up the cooling process. Put the bird back in the oven and roast slowly, also uncovered, for another 30-45 minutes, or until the juices run clear. Take it out of the oven and let it stand for about 10 minutes before carving and serving.
What Does Pheasant Taste Like When Cooked in a Slow Cooker?
The beauty of the recipe given above is that it is easily adapted to slow-cooking. However, you will need more liquid. Follow all the instructions as above, but before placing in the slow-cooker, brown your bird lightly in a pan with a little hot oil, to give it an appetizing color. Put the pheasant into the slow cooker. You can also add some vegetables, like potatoes and pumpkin or baby marrows. Now you will need some liquid to ensure that it doesn't dry out. Take 3-4 cups of good quality chicken stock. Add a generous splash of sherry. Cover the cooker and allow it to cook on low for about 8-10 hours.
How Do You Carve A Pheasant?
Carving a pheasant is much the same as carving a chicken. The trick is to use a very sharp knife. Place your fork in the centre of the breast and slice downwards in a short quick motion. The meat should come away from the bone. If the breast pieces are very large you can slice them up into smaller pieces. Now cut off the wings, and separate the legs and thighs. Serve with a selection of vegetables to suit your taste.
You are now ready to pour yourself a glass of your favorite wine, and tuck in and enjoy a mouthwatering, healthy meal!

How do I pass through where not Exists in ProductName table.
LOAD *, ResourceID as Value
DROP TABLE ProductNameTemp;
LOAD *, ResourceID_1 as Value_1
DROP TABLE UsersTemp;
Load ProductName, LastUsage, '' as Netbios_Name0, '' as User_Name0, ResourceID
where not Exists(Value, ResourceID_1);
Load ProductName, '01/01/1981' as LastUsage, Netbios_Name0, User_Name0, ResourceID_1 as ResourceID
where not Exists(Value_1, ResourceID);
I am not able to understand what you want to do. As per my understanding first you want to load ProjectName and User tables without any where clause. Then why do you again want to load productName table with where not exist clause.
As per documentation the exist clause syntex is:
exists(field [, expression ] )
Determines whether a specific field value exists in a specified field of the data loaded so far. Field is a name or a string expression evaluating to a field name. The field must exist in the data loaded so far by the script. Expr is an expression evaluating to the field value to look for in the specified field.
Please explain in detail what do you want to do.


Pipeline: Split a CSV File
In this Page
I want to take a CSV file and split the data out into two other CSV files. While this is not a typical use case for SnapLogic, it does provide examples of how to use several Snaps.
Snaps Used
For this scenario, the following Snaps are used:
 - File Reader
 - CSV Parser
 - Filter
 - Router
 - Sort
 - CSV Format
 - File Writer
Other Requirements
 - A sample CSV file loaded into the SnapLogic file system. This example refers to a employee directory file, directory.csv, that contains the following columns: Name, Location, Extension, Email, Title, Department, Dept ID.
 1. Upload your CSV file to the SnapLogic file system. See the Files Page topic for more information.
 2. Create a new pipeline by clicking the (+) tab.
 3. Add and configure a File Reader Snap.
 - For the File field, select the file you uploaded in Step 1. Because you are accessing the file system, no authentication information is needed.
 4. Add a CSV Parser Snap. You will use the default configuration.
 5. Add and configure a Filter Snap. If your source file is a company directory and you only want data for the Sales team, you would configure the Filter Snap with an expression to restrict the data to just that, for example:
 $Department == "Sales"
 Be sure to select the expression toggle (=) in front of the field.
 6. Add and configure a Router Snap.
 - Determine which information you want to route to each of the two files you will create. In this example, you will filter by the Location column and move some groups to one file and the rest to the other file.
 - Add a row for each expression you want to process, for example:
 $Location == "Field" to output0
 $Location == "HQ" to output1
 output0 and output1 are the default values for the first two output views. To rename the views, you can edit them on the Views tab.
 7. (Optional) Add and configure two Sort Snaps, one off of each Router output. If you want to sort the data being written to the files, then you would add a Sort Snap.
 - Add a Sort Path and set it to the column you want to sort by. To sort by more than one column, add additional values.
 - Set Sort Order to the correct value.
 8. Add two CSV Format Snaps, one off of each Router output. You will use the default configuration.
 9. Add and configure two File Writer Snaps, one off of each Router output.
 - For each output, set the File Name to the name of the file where you want the results written to, including a path if necessary. See File Writer for information on how to write files to different locations. If written to the SnapLogic database, you can access the files through Manager.
 - Add the appropriate account type for the location where you want to write the files to.


Chemical analysis and classification of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) based on their country of origin using mass spectrometric methods and chemometrics
Journal: 2021/March - Food Research International
The current study applied gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and thermal desorption direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometry (TD-DART-MS) methods to the analysis of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) samples from different countries. The black pepper powder samples were analyzed directly by TD-DART-MS without any extraction, but for GC-MS and LC-MS methods, a methanol extraction procedure was employed before the analysis. Various compounds, such as piperamides and terpenes, were detected. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used to classify black pepper samples based on their origins. Total ion mass spectrum (TMS) data profiles from GC-MS, LC-MS, and TD-DART-MS methods were constructed and evaluated for the performance of classification. A cubic-root data transformation was tested in the data preprocessing and found to be effective for improving the classification rates. The average classification rates of PLS-DA models with GC-MS-cubic-root-TMS, LC-MS-cubic-root-TMS, and DART-MS-cubic-root-TMS data representations were 94.1 ± 0.6%, 87.7 ± 0.6%, and 97.0 ± 0.3% respectively, for 100-time bootstrapped-Latin-partition cross-validation. This study presents for the first time the analysis of plant-based food materials by using TD-DART-MS, and it has been demonstrated as a simple and high-throughput method for classification studies.
Keywords: Black pepper; Chemometrics; Classification; DART-MS; GC–MS; LC-MS.

Capital Investments – Improving Ontario's Schools
Since 2003, the Ontario government has invested $11.6 billion to make schools better places to learn. When students are in good learning environments, they can focus on learning and personal achievement.
Priority Capital Investments
In January 2013, the Ministry announced over $700 million in Capital Priority and FullDay Kindergarten funding to support school boards' Capital Priority projects needed in the next three years. These include building new schools and additions/retrofits to address enrolment growth, to support full-day kindergarten, to replace schools in poor condition and to support school consolidations.
A complete list of the 39 new schools and 48 additions/retrofits funded by this investment can be found here: New Schools and Additions
This funding is in addition to the more than $1 billion in new capital funding over three years that was announced in 2011-12. This included:
The government has provided just over $1.4 billion in capital funding since 2010 to support the full-day kindergarten (FDK) program. This funding is used by school boards to create the extra classrooms required to accommodate the program and to support the first-time equipping needs of new FDK classrooms. This funding supports the creation of close to 3,400 new kindergarten classrooms, in 3,675 schools, through additions and major retrofits.
FDK is scheduled to be fully implemented by September 2014.
Good Places to Learn
The Ontario government's Good Places to Learn program was launched in 2005 to address the backlog of urgent school renewal needs and the need for new schools around the province. Projects included building new schools and expanding and retrofitting existing school facilities. Highlights of this investment include:
As of fall 2012:
Greening Ontario's Schools
The government has provided $550 million to make schools more energy efficient, while supporting a stronger and greener economy. This Energy Efficient Schools investment included:
The government also invested $50 million for public school boards to reduce energy costs in schools by installing renewable energy technologies for heating or cooling schools or generating electricity. This investment is supporting 135 projects in 126 schools (PDF, 20 KB). The projects cover a range of renewable energy technologies, including:
These projects will help green the energy supply and help school boards save money on energy costs or earn revenue by selling electricity back to the grid. By reinvesting savings and revenue into local schools, boards will have more money to support student success. Solar panels and wind turbines can sell electricity back to the grid through the microFIT Program, an important part of the Green Energy Act.
In addition, the Green Schools Pilot Initiative invested $20 million in a variety of innovative green products and technologies in more than 150 Ontario schools. Learn more about these pilot projects across the province.

What influences a child to choose a career on the family farm, and when is that decision made? A new University of Illinois study of pre-teen farm youth suggests that the foundations for this life choice are set early and that maternal influence, rather than paternal expectations, may be key.
Although previous studies have focused on high-school-aged youth, Angela Wiley's training in child development led her to believe farm kids would be influenced toward or against farming earlier than that. "Research implies that an important life decision such as this would be rooted in the early activities, education, and relationships of farm children," she says.
Wiley, an assistant professor in human development and family studies, surveyed 40 farm children aged 10 to 13 and also interviewed their parents. She found that children who did more work at home were more likely to plan to farm, that mothers had more influence than fathers on farm children's future plans, and that perceptions of parental worry over the family farm's future also affected children.
"Mothers have a strong influence on farm children. It may be that children, as they work around the house, have more opportunity to take in their mother's attitudes toward farming. If she is positive about farming as a career choice and a lifestyle, it may affect the child's later decision," Wiley says.
Although farm parents were careful to keep anxiety about the farm operation from their children, Wiley's respondents picked up on it anyway. If they believed their parents were worried about the farm, there was a "let-me-make-it-better" effect, says Wiley, that led the children to plan to continue in the family business.
"They seem to have taken on a sense of responsibility from an early age that this is a family endeavor and I need to do my part," Wiley says. "Their plans to farm later may be an attempt to ease their parents' worries and to ensure the continuance of the family enterprise."
Wiley says parents are finding time to talk and be with their children. And this investment is likely to pay off in the future not only in terms of children's development and adjustment, but also in terms of the viability of family farms, she concludes.

Use of a Flapper-Nozzle Valve for Axial Piston Pump Control 911817
A mathematical model of an axial piston pump with a flapper-nozzle valve was developed. The first stage was dynamically stable, and calculated values of first-stage gain and dynamic response agreed well with experimental values. Linearized relations were produced for each component part and were combined to form the total state-variable representation of the model. The open loop system, the combined axial piston pump and flapper-nozzle valve, exhibited dynamic instability. However, when the feedback loop was augmented by the output pressure differential, stability was achieved.
From the time responses of the augmented optimal control system, we observed that an increase of input current had little effect on the system response. Doubling the discharge flow rate doubled the overshoot, and an increase in the discharge volume slowed down the system responses. Increasing rotational speed of the pump produced a higher overshoot and a slower response.
The performance of an axial piston pump with a flapper-nozzle valve used as a controller was compared to the performances of such a pump with a four-way hydraulic valve, a single-stage electrohydraulic servovalve, and a two-stage electrohydraulic servovalve used as controllers. We found the combination of a flapper-nozzle valve and an axial piston pump to be superior to other combinations in terms of the balance between pressure-time response and maximum pressure overshoot.

Pivoting is a way to change direction from one stance to another without taking a step by rotating body's center of mass around its axis. For example, one can pivot from a left lead horse stance to a right lead horse stance by pivoting the upper body. The stance may change during a pivot, such as from a left lead horse to a right lead back stance.
The pivot serves several purposes:
- Assists directional change
- Provides angular acceleration to drive strikes and throws by rotating body mass into the technique
- Assists stance/position change in that may gain distance when needed in defending or close the distance when attacking without having to take steps
- Rotates body in a way that protects vulnerable targets and draws attacker into counters
- Deflects impacts away from vulnerable internal organs as they bounce off the rotating body mass

PRB: Ampersand Displays as Underscore in Popup
ID: Q101594
The information in this article applies to:
 - Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.6 and 2.6a
After you create a popup from an array that has strings as elements, if a element has an ampersand (&) in the string's text, the ampersand displays as "_" (an underscore) instead of "&" in the selected item box of the popup. For example, if the array element was "TEST1 & TEST2", it would display in the selected item box as "TEST1 _TEST2" when selected.
This behavior is caused by a feature of Windows. In Windows, an ampersand indicates that the next character should be underlined; therefore, this behavior also occurs in FoxPro for Windows.
To display an ampersand in Windows, you have to use two ampersands (for example, && Text). However, this workaround cannot be used in FoxPro because a double ampersand indicates that the following text is a comment and FoxPro should ignore the rest of the line, which usually generates a syntax error.
The best resolution for this is not to use ampersands in popups, whether from arrays or lists. The reason for this is that the behavior of some of the workarounds is unreliable and unpredictable.
One workaround that could be acceptable for short popups is to create the popup from a list.
To do this, initialize a variable in the Setup code for each item that needs to contain an ampersand, and then put the variable in the prompt for the popup using macro substitution. For example, in the Setup code, place this line of code:
 myvar="TEST1 &"+"& TEST2"
And in the popup prompt's list, enter the variable preceeded by an ampersand(for macro substitution)
Items in the list that do not contain ampersands do not need to be placed in variables. The problem with this resolution is that the items on the list show two ampersands, not just one. But the display value just shows one. Both ampersands get stored to the popup's variable. There is not a good solution for this issue if the popup is from an array and some of the array elements contain text with ampersands. Changing these elements as above can be tried.

Should You Cover a Dog Crate?
Should You Cover a Dog Crate?
Image Credit: lempelziv/iStock/GettyImages
If you're crate training your dog or puppy using a wire crate, cover it with a lightweight sheet, cloth, towel, blanket or purchased crate cover. Covering a crate can contribute to a cozy and private environment that's similar to dog dens. It can be especially helpful at night when your pooch needs to wind down and go to sleep.
Privacy and Silence
Covering a crate not only can be beneficial for giving a dog privacy and a sense of security, but it can be beneficial for encouraging overall silence and peace. If you cover your pet's crate, it can reduce the sounds of the typical disruptions of your household -- think your television, music playing, people walking around and phone calls, for example. Cover the back sections, sides and tops of your dog's crate to provide him with a quiet and relaxing environment. Cover the crate loosely to allow your pet to look out from it easily, too.
Covering often can be helpful for soothing dogs and puppies who are crying inside their crates.
Material Pulling
It isn't uncommon for dogs and puppies to feel nervous and uneasy inside their crates. These feelings sometimes cause them to tug on the materials covering their crates. If they successfully drag the material into their crates, they can chew on or eat them, which can lead to serious health emergencies that may require surgery. Prevent your dog from being able to do this by folding the sides of the blanket, cloth, towel or sheet underneath the crate.
Crate Covering and Car Trips
Crate covering can come in handy for a reason that's totally unrelated to privacy and rest. If you're taking your dog on a trip in the car, covering his crate can be a great idea. Dogs often become frustrated when they're in vehicles. This frustration is often a combination of all of the things they spot zipping by through the windows and the movement of the car in general. Covering your pet's crate may decrease his stress by calming him and taking the nonstop, overwhelming stimuli out of the equation. Beyond that, crating dogs in cars is important for safety considerations.
Ready-Made Crate Covers
If you don't have an old towel, blanket or sheet available to cover your dog's crate, never fear. Many pet supplies stores sell ready-made crate covers that are designed to give dogs much-needed privacy and relaxation. Since these covers are form-fitting and hug crates snugly, you don't have to worry about restless dogs pulling them off. They're much easier to keep in place.
Crate covering is not suitable in all situations. It isn't always suitable for dogs who have thick and heavy coats, for example, particularly during the warm or hot spring and summer months. You don't want to keep your pet in an environment that's overly hot and therefore uncomfortable. When you cover your dog's crate, it's vital to make certain he has ample airflow, too.

In patients with lower extremity wounds, free tissue transfer is often the last option before amputation, making it crucial to optimize preoperative planning in order to prevent flap breakdown. No consensus exists regarding preoperative vascular work ups before lower extremity free tissue transfer. Here we analyzed the utility of using arteriography for lower extremity free flap planning.Methods:
A retrospective review was performed of 57 patients who underwent lower extremity arteriography and 59 free flap operations for lower extremity wounds between November 2014 and August 2017. Findings were used to guide flap recipient vessel selection. Arterial pathology was addressed via endovascular intervention, where appropriate. Encountered pathology was described and patient demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes were analyzed for correlation with abnormal angiographic studies.Results:
Angiographic abnormalities were observed in 40 patients (67.8%), including 23 (57.5%) with stenosis/occlusion, 20 (50.0%) with atretic/non-visualized vessels, and 11 (27.5%) requiring endovascular intervention. Stenosis/occlusion was detected in 9 patients (15.3%) with no previously known arterial disease, leading to a new diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease. Flap survival rate was 98.3%, 6 patients (10.2%) ultimately progressed to amputation, and 53 patients (89.8%) were able to continue community ambulation at a mean follow-up time of 15.1 months (SD 9.51, range 1.67–35.2). After arteriography, 2 patients (3.39%) suffered contrast-induced acute kidney injury. No other complications were noted.Conclusions:
Preoperative lower extremity arteriography aids in the diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease, allows for timely endovascular intervention, and allows for optimal flap recipient vessel selection with a low complication rate.


text: Abstract Ventilator-dependent children are surviving longer and increasing in number. This qualitative study was undertaken to describe the impact of a ventilator-dependent child on 10 families and to describe the management styles used by the parents. In five families, the child remained hospitalized due to the disability while in the other five the child primarily lived at home. Three major themes in managing were elicited: barriers, resources, and parenting. Parents believed they should try to normalize their child's experiences, that interactions with health care professionals required negotiation and assertiveness, and that they needed some support person(s) outside of the family.

The Singapore Armed Forces
(SAF) has two rank structures
One rank structure is similar to that of other military in other country. One major difference is that the SAF uses a unified rank structure, with identical rank names and insignia throughout the Army
, and Air Force
. For example, traditional Navy ranks such as Ensign
have been replaced with Army-style ranks. Only two exceptions exist to the unified rank structure. Firstly, among the flag officer ranks, the Navy retains the Admiral
ranks. The second exception is for the rank insignia for Private
and Private First Class
among the Air Force, and the Army and Navy.
This structure is subdivided for Officer
, Warrant Officers
, and enlisted men.
The other structure is for the Military Domain Experts Scheme (MDES), which comprises eight ranks (ME1 – ME8).MINDEF
, Personnel under this Scheme are collectively known as Military Experts (MEs).
Unlike most Commonwealth countries, the armed forces of Singapore no longer use British-style rank insignia nor many British rank titles. Company officers are represented by bars, field officers by coats-of-arms and flag and general officers are represented by stars, similar to the systems of the Republic of China
, South Korea
, and (in particular) Indonesia
for example. American influence is obvious in relation to the existence of two Rear Admiral ranks.
The SAF rank structure is largely similar to that of the Singapore Civil......

"A carrier pigeon" 22 Leo
This symbol is illuminated 10:43 PM EDT Aug. 13 (2:43 AM GMT, Aug. 14)
Inspiration: Human closeness is not a measure of proximity, therefore, send your love.
Today: Messages are suggested when the carrier pigeon is illuminated. However, there are two core dynamics in messaging: sending and receiving.
Consider that sending a message may be an action that many could improve upon. For example, if a thought, sentiment, or general care belongs with another, then like a carrier pigeon it will find its way home. Imagine tender thoughts from another landing on your shoulder like a well-fed pigeon!
The carrier pigeon says, if it belongs to you, it will return. By the same token, if it belongs to someone else, it is futile and withholding to keep the pigeon caged away from its home.

What is electroplating auxiliary equipment
The accessories that must be provided for the plating bath of electroplating equipment include anode and anode basket or anode hook, electrode rod, power connecting wire, etc. In order to save investment, some factories do not use anode baskets and hook the anode directly to the plating bath, but at least cover the anode sleeve. The key of the power connection line is to ensure that it can pass the required current. It's better to use copper plate and multi strand cable, which must meet the requirements of cross-sectional area. Most anode baskets are made of titanium, and a few kinds of plating can also be made of stainless steel or steel. Electrode rod is a conductive rod used to hang anode and cathode and connect with power supply. It is usually made of copper bar or brass bar, slightly longer than the plating bath, and the diameter is determined by the current, but at least more than 5cm.

A lasher is an ambulatory plant and often hostile. They can be found in the Wailing Caverns, Maraudon, Un'Goro Crater, and Dire Maul. Lashers are elementals in-game, but in lore they are just "plants".
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade introduced new lashers in Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle, and the Botanica.
The lashers in Un'Goro Crater are known as bloodpetals and grow in several different varieties. They are all neutral except the Bloodpetal Pest which is friendly to Alliance players and hostile to Horde players.
Note that there are a number of mobs with lasher in their name, but are not the plant lashers. Some examples are Scorpid Tail Lashers and the hydras named Vorsha the Lasher and Trigore the Lasher.

Error Codes
What do error codes in the GoZync logs really mean?
Any errors encountered in the sync will be reported in the zync logs tabs in GoZyncMobile and GoZyncHosted.
Many of the errors will be self explanatory, but the guide below may help.
- 101 Record is missing. This is about the table occurrence, not the field.
Most likely reason for this is that you don't have "Allow creation of records..." set to "on" for this table in its relationship with GoZync in the graph of GoZyncMobile.
Turn "Allow creation..." on for the table occurrence mentioned in the error and then try again.
102 Field Missing
There are only a few reasons why you'd see a 102 error.
You've sent a field that doesn't exist in the destination. Remove the field from the sync layout on the source side (the sending side). Note that fields don't have to be on the sync layout in order to be received; fields only need to be there to be sent.
The field exists but has a different name in the destination. See Custom Field Mapping to transform the field name.
You've created a transformation (a custom field mapping) but your field is repeating and you haven't created a field mapping for each repetition.
If these don't apply, see the section "Other Sync Errors" under Troubleshooting.
106 Table is Missing
There is a mismatch between the table occurrence names on the mobile and hosted side of the relationship graph in GoZyncMobile. Even if your actual tables are named something different in the mobile and hosted files, the *occurrences* for those tables in GoZyncMobile's relationship graph need to have the same name (outside of the "gzm_" or "gzh_" prefixes).
You may connected the TO to GoZync on the destination side of the GoZyncMobile graph.
One other thing, that can be hard to spot at first, is that the relationship graph in GoZyncMobile *look* good, but the table occurrences--while named correctly--are either representing the wrong tables or are both pointing at the same file (ie gzm_Contacts and gzh_Contacts are both pointing to the contacts table in your hosted file, for example).
200 Record access is denied.
In this case, access to the records being synced is not permitted for the account being used. Permission must be granted in the mobile and hosted file for each field that will be synced.
301 Record is in use by another user.
Commonly called "record lock".This is exactly what it sounds like: it's not a configuration error.
FileMaker couldn't edit the record (or one of the related records for that entity) because another user was editing it. Feel free to try and sync the record later when the original user has stopped editing it.
500-511 Validation Errors
These will occur when the data coming in fails to meet the validation criteria set up on one of your fields.
You can turn off the validation or change it from "always" to "only during data entry" which will stop it from firing during scripted set fields like those used in GoZync.
You could include a flag-field condition in the validation calculation, then set that flag at the start of the Zync routine, and clear it when it's done.
You could modify the "Commit Records/Requests" step in the "Zengine ( IDsToSync )" script to "Skip data entry validation".
Or you could remove the field validation altogether and instead write a script to do it, then run that script on the server.

WASHINGTON: Scientists have rediscovered what they claim is the eighth wonder of the world -- Pink and White Terraces in New Zealand, which were buried in mud for a 100 years, losing some charm.
Until the late 19th century, the Pink and White Terraces along Lake Rotomahana on the North Island, attracted tourists from around the world, interested in seeing beautiful natural formations created by a large geothermal system.
But the eruption of Mt Tarawera on June 10, 1886, buried the terraces in sediment and caused the lake basin to enlarge, engulfing the land where the terraces stood. For more than a century, people have speculated whether any part of the Pink and White Terraces survived the eruption.
Now, an international team has located portions of the long-lost Pink and White Terraces, using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to map the bottom of Lake Rotomahana.
Team leader Cornel de Ronde of GNS Science in New Zealand said the scientists were elated by the rediscovery.
"The first sidescan sonar image gave a hint of a terraced structure so we scanned the area twice more and we are now 95 per cent certain we are seeing the bottom two tiers of the Pink Terraces," de Ronde said.
Side-scan sonar and bathymetric data collected by two REMUS 100 AUVs clearly show crescent-shaped terraced structures in about 60 meters of water where the Pink Terraces were located prior to 1886; they are covered by a brownish lake sediment, say the scientists.
After detecting areas of interest with the AUV's sonar systems, the team used the underwater camera system to capture images of the lake floor where they were able to photograph some of the stepped terrace edges.

The concept of imaging politics and professional culture are two approaches that influence and control each other in managing library performance. This research is conducted by initially looking at imaging politics that operates on aspects of academic qualifications, library accessibility, and institutional governance among three libraries. These institutional images are analyzed through three patterns of imaging politics, i.e. mirror of reality, map of reality, and simulacrum of reality, albeit this last pattern is not found. The second analysis is based on professional culture that functions as a ballacing system. Professional culture in library management shows itself as a referential standard for the performance and practices at the libraries. Both analyses are based on information sources in the form of interviews of informants, which are supported by library documents in digital formats and direct observation during interviews and a number of other visits at the study sites. Then, the third analysis focuses on relations between imaging politics and professional culture at the libraries through theoretical frameworks and other related concepts. In the process of analysis there is implicitly found different ideological orientations at the three libraries. Unfortunately, this research is not designed for this purpose, so it is interesting if there is another further research that works for the phenomena within the framework of imaging politics and professional culture at libraries.

text: This article examines shifts in attitudes and changes in provision with regard to never–married mothers within three broad chronological periods. The first section considers attitudes towards these mothers in the period 1918–45, when the issue was conceptualized as one of public health and moral welfare. Second, the article examines the period between 1945 and 1970, when the dominant professional view of never-married mothers focused on identifying individual pathology, but when significant continuities in treatment can nevertheless be found. Third, the article looks briefly at the substantial change in policy and provision for what were then called 'one-parent families' during the 1970s. In conclusion it argues that while there were substantial changes in terms of the way in which unmarried motherhood was defined, from the point of view of the unmarried mothers themselves the continuities have been more striking. Unmarried mothers have been persistently singled out and labelled a social problem and, in all but a brief period during the late 1960s and 1970s, also as a moral problem.

That is a question that can be hard to explain. So, I took two close up pictures of my Himalayans' faces to show the difference between the two Color Points. As you can see below the Blue Point Himalayan is darker than the Lilac Point Himalayan. Also, Lilac Points have lavender pawpads and nose leather; whereas, Blue Points do not.
Note: The Lilac Point below is still just a kitten. His Mask will eventually be larger.

What are the different types of Wonkee Donkee Trend router bit?
 buy bits for woodworking
There are many different types of router bit or cutter. They can usually be classed as follows:
Groove-forming router cutters
 Examples of groove bits of different shapes for creating various groove forms in timber
Groove-forming cutters are designed to produce grooves in the surface of materials.
They do not usually have a pin or ball-bearing guide, and may require the use of a side fence, guide bush, or another method for guiding the router. A guide allows them to rout along the edge of materials as well in the surface.
 A close up of a bottom cut groove bit in a routing machine
Many groove-forming cutters have the bottom cut facility, and so can be used in a plunge router to cut into the surface of materials, rather than having to cut from the edge. bits without the bottom cut facility need to have an edge from which to start cutting. For more information, see: What are the parts of a Trend router cutter?
 A selection of straight groove-forming router bits for woodwork
Straight groove-forming router cutters
These bits have straight flutes and so produce straight-sided, flat-bottomed grooves in materials.
Examples include single and twin flute straight cutters, mortisers and pocket cutters.
 A selection of shaped groove-forming router bits
Shaped groove-forming router cutters
Shaped groove-forming router bits are usually two fluted and are typically used for decorative moulding or jointing applications. There is a huge range of different shape options for these bits for an array of groove profile shapes.

By changing the height of these router bits, or by altering the table fence or side fence position, different profiles can be produced using the same cutter. This can mean grooves of different sizes can be routed, and some cutters are designed so they will produce different shapes of grooves when they are altered.
Self-guided router cutters
 Examples of self-guided router bits in a selection of shapes
These cutters have a pin or ball bearing guide located either on the shank or below the cutting edges and are primarily designed for edge-forming applications.
They do not usually require a side fence or other external method of guiding, as their pin or bearing follows the edge of the workpiece or a template fitted above or beneath it. The width of the cut is controlled by the edge of the pin or bearing running along the workpiece.
 A wooden tabletop with an edge created by a router bit
Self-guided router bits can be used on workpieces with straight or curved edges, (for example, rectangular or circular tables,) and can be used for trimming, moulding, or rebating applications.
 Different sizes of bearing guide found on routing bits
With bearing guided versions, the bearing can usually be removed and replaced for a smaller or larger diameter one, in order to produce a differently shaped or sized cut.
 Examples of straight router bit that have bearing guides
Straight self-guided router cutters
Also called trimming and profiling cutters, these have straight flutes and are typically used on multi-layered materials, to trim one or more of the layers flush with one another.Accessories for woodworking with power tools
 Examples of shaped router bits that have bearing guides
Shaped self-guided router cutters
These are similar to shaped groove-forming cutters but with a pin guide or guide bearing located on their shank, or below their cutting edges. They are available in an array of designs for different tasks.
 Image showing that the location of the guide on a router bit has an effect on the way it is used
Shaped self-guided cutters with a shank-mounted guide often have the bottom cut facility, allowing them to plunge into the surface of materials like groove-forming cutters. Those with a bearing below their cutting edges can only be used to form the edge of materials.
Typical profiles include bevel, radius, dovetail, round over, and rebate cutters.
Joint-making router cutters (can be guided or non-guided)
 joint-making bits (Pilot and non-pilot bits) for woodworking
Examples include:
 joint making bit pair with mating sections and an example of the woodworking joint
Joint-making bits sometimes come as a pair that will cut two mating sections (two parts that fit together) in materials. These sections are then fitted together to form a joint. Some joint-making bits come with a guide pin or bearing attached. These are known as pilot bits and can be used to cut along the edge of materials. Other joint-making bits do not come with a guide. These are known as non-pilot bits and can be used to cut across the surface of a material.
Slotting and grooving router cutters
 A grooving routing bit with shims and spacers
Slotting and grooving cutters, also called arbor-mounted router bits, consist of single or multiple slotting groovers, or profile blocks, assembled on an arbor, using spacers, shims, and ball-bearing guides to adjust their proximity and depth of cut.
 Diagram showing how a grooving bit can be used to cut either a tongue or a groove on the edge of a piece of flooring
This form of cutter offers a high degree of versatility, as the basic components can be mounted in different combinations, using the shims, washers and spacers to vary their spacing.
Replaceable tip router cutters
 A replaceable tip bit and a selection of attachable blades
Replaceable tip router cutters are comprised of a solid tungsten carbide blade held by retaining screws to a ground steel body.
When dull, the blade can be rotated to expose up to three more cutting edges. Buy routing accessories from wonkee donkee

text: Online induction machine faults diagnosis is a concern to guarantee the overall production process efficiency. Nowadays, the industry demands the integration of smart wireless sensors networks (WSN) to improve the fault detection in order to reduce cost, maintenance and power consumption. Induction motors can develop one or more faults at the same time that can produce sever damages. The origin of most recurrent faults in rotary machines is in the components: stator, rotor, bearing and others. This work presents a novel methodology for the online faults diagnosis in induction motors. This technique uses the smart WSN to obtain the machine condition based on the motor stator current analysis. The implementation of the proposed smart sensor methodology allows the system to perform online fault detection in a fully automated way. Simulation results presented show the efficiency of the proposed method to detect simple and multiple faults in induction machine. It provides detailed analysis to address challenges in designing and deploying WSNs in industrial environments, and its reliability. 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.


Kitesurf in Sardinia

Kitesurf in Sardinia
What is kitesurf?
Kitesurf is the water sport that most increases regarding the number of people that practice it. It was born from the union of two amongst the most known water sports: windsurf and wakeboard. It is considered a trend now and in the near future.
This sport was spread by French and Hawaiian people at the end of 90' years and now you can see people kitesurfing almost in every beach or lake worldwide. Their colored sails zip through all water surfaces in the world where there is a bit of wind.
 Kitesurf is based on a very simple principle: it uses the wind as a propeller. The kitesurfer, using a bar with two ropes 30 meters long, move the kite to obtain the speed and direction desired. The boards are similar to those used by wakeboarders, and today there are many different types of boards to satisfy even the most discerning kitesurfer.
The pleasure this sport gives is to water plan, draw by the wind.
Why so many people practice kitesurf?
Kitesurf is probably so attractive because…it is easy to learn. It is much easier to learn than windsurf or wave surf. Probably kitesurf attracts always more people because you can learn pretty quickly how to water plan, jump and perform aerial manoeuvres.
The kite has a strong vertical traction, what allows not only to reach high speed but even take off sucked in by the wind, the main emotion kitesurfers look for.
Another advantage of this sport is the fact that the equipment needed is not awkward and it is easy to be transported in the car luggage compartment, with no need to carry boards over the top of the car. It has a big advantage over windsurf, which equipment includes tree, goose-neck and extensions.
The kite can be fold and fits into a backpack. The kitesurf board is not bulking and the ropes can be rolled around the bar.
There are different kite models, but with 2 you can cover most of the wind conditions and practice kitesurf with no problems.
Are there different types of windsurf?
There are more styles. To ride big waves it is necessary to use a mono direction board, similar to the ones used by surfers. To make some acrobatics moves the board needed is the bi direction one that are better when there are no big waves.
Water planning is called freeriding, while the kitesurf style that consider jumps and acrobatic evolutions is called freestyle. The kitesurf practiced over the waves is called wavestyle and the one on calm waters wakestyle.
What is necessary to practice kitesurf?
It is necessary to take 12/14 lessons to acquire the basic knowledge one needs for a safe and autonomous practice. Even if it is not mandatory, it is warmly recommended attend a course because kitesurf is an extreme sport anyway and, even if the equipment are safe, there are many pitfalls, especially regarding others.
Kitesurf gives fun even with low wind. The perfect wind for a beginner is the one between 12 and 14 knots. A more expert athlete is able to use, together with the right equipment, winds between 8 and 40 knots.
There are many kitesurf schools that lends the necessary equipment to practice it during the lessons and thereafter one can simply rent or acquire the equipment for him/herself.
To practice kitesurf you need:
 1. A complete kite, what means the kite plus the bar and ropes;
 2. A kitesurf board;
 3. A trapeze;
 4. Safe equipment (protection vest, helmet, diving gear, etc)
Where and when is it possible to practice kitesurf in Sardinia?
Sardinia offers the possibility to practice kitesurf from April to October. There are two locations that offer excellent position both for the wind and the local structure to facilitate the practice of this sport.
Kitesurf in north Sardinia
In north Sardiia, the reference is Porto Pollo. This cute bay has a favorable position regarding the wind that allows the practice of this sport at any level.
To reach Porto Pollo it is better to arrive or land at Olbia (port and airport) and stay in one of the beautiful hotels that are nearby Porto Pollo.
It could be the ideal occasion to a father and son vacation, as Luci di La Muntagna hotel offers a special promotion for a parent travelling with a child. The hotel is located in the famous Porto Cervo and have a wonderful panorama above the marina.
Otherwise Abi D'Oru hotel, on Marinella beach, close to Porto Rotondo and Olbia.
A third solution could be La Coluccia hotel, in Santa Teresa Gallura.
Kitesurf in south Sardinia
In south Sardinia, the best place for kitesurf is Chia. It is a wonderful beach with perfect conditions for practicing water sports such as kitesurf.
The choice here goes to Aquadulci hotel, close to Su Giuddeu (400 m), a very beautiful beach known for its sand dunes.

Colloidal Silver
Last Updated: August 13, 2018
Definition - What does Colloidal Silver mean?
Colloidal silver is made up of a mixture of distilled water and pure (0.9999) silver. It is created by flowing an electrical current through water mixed with silver electrodes. The current causes the microscopic particles of the silver to break away from each other. Once they break off, they become suspended in the water mixture.
Many cannabis growers use colloidal silver on a marijuana plant to force the plant to produce feminized seeds. After applying the colloidal silver to the cannabis plant, the pollen collected will contain no Y chromosomes. The pollen will only have double X chromosomes, which help ensure female seed production.
MaximumYield explains Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver is misted onto a marijuana plant's foliage to force the plant to start pollen production. The grower usually mists the plants daily with colloidal silver for 10-14 days.
Typically, when growing marijuana plants there is a 50 per cent chance of the plant creating male seeds. However, with the use of colloidal silver, the chance of a plant developing all female seeds becomes almost a guarantee. Even if a male plant does develop after using colloidal silver, the male is still a genetic female but with male characteristics.
Silver colloidal acts as an ethylene inhibitor/antagonist on the marijuana plant. The silver colloidal forces the weed plant to develop male pollen sacs instead of the female buds that it would normally grow. The pollen from the male pollen sacs can then be collected and used to pollinate female flowers to develop feminized seeds.

Masquerade and Social Justice in Contemporary Latin American Fiction
By Helene Carol Weldt-Basson
Contemporary Latin American fiction establishes a unique connection between masquerade, frequently motivated by stigma or trauma, and social justice. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophy, history, psychology, literature, and social justice theory, this study delineates the synergistic connection between these two themes. Weldt-Basson examines fourteen novels by twelve different Latin American authors: Mario Vargas Llosa, Sergio Galindo, Augusto Roa Bastos, Fernando del Paso, Mayra Santos-Febres, Isabel Allende, Carmen Boullosa, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, Marcela Serrano, Sara Sefchovich, Luisa Valenzuela, and Ariel Dorfman. She elucidates the varieties of social justice operating in the plots of contemporary Latin American novels: distributive, postmodern/feminist, postcolonial, transitional, and historical justices. The author further examines how masquerade and disguise aid in articulating the theme of social justice, why this is important, and how it relates to Latin American history and the historical novel.

What are the top 5 wheelchair facts that are important? For individuals who are disabled or physically challenged, an electric wheelchair can prove to be very useful if they wish to regain some of their mobility.
In addition to the top 5 wheelchair facts is our top 10 Karman wheelchairs.
Furthermore, a wheelchair provides the disabled individual with the opportunity to enjoy life with their friends and family doing otherwise impossible activities.
Electric wheelchair users can enjoy going to the parks or partaking in regular chores like grocery shopping. As electric wheelchairs do not require a lot of physical exertion, they are quite easy to use and provide individuals with greater freedom.
Below we have mentioned the five most interesting electric wheelchair facts that you should know about:
1. Alright, let's begin with wheelchair facts by learning about the inventor of the wheelchair, who is known by the name of George Klein. This is one of the top 5 wheelchair facts we will go over.
During World War II, George Klein saw several veterans as well as civilians with severe injuries.
Furthermore, after seeing all the injured people there like that, later on, inspired him to work on creating the world's first-ever wheelchair.
2. Modern electric wheelchairs have several benefits. They can also be adjusted as per the needs of the user. For instance, some of the wheelchairs have tilting seats that can help the user in standing up.
Whereas other electric wheelchair models are designed with the ability to recline.
However, some of them even support the elevation of the seat as well as the legs.
3. Speaking of the wheelchair facts, let's not forget that the record for the longest distance covered by a motorized wheelchair in just 24 hours was achieved by Jackie Weeden.
Moreover, he tracked 13 hours while it took him 50 minutes to cover 154 miles.
Moreover, another world record of the fastest wheelchair marathon racer. It was set by Josh Cassidy. He rode his wheelchair round the Boston Marathon in 1 hour, 18 minutes, and 25 seconds.
4. A 47-year-old disabled UAE citizen, Haidar Taleb, designed a solar-powered wheelchair for a 200-mile trek. Taleb's journey began on November 22, 2010. He traveled across all of the seven emirates. He developed the solar-power wheelchairs in collaboration with a renewable energy company based in Abu Dhabi by the name of Masdar. The wheelchair can function at a maximum speed of about 9 to 12 mph. This is pretty fast. Typically 5 mph is recommended.
It has been designed with enough battery capacity to continue functioning for up to six hours. Even after the sun sets behind the clouds. Most wheelchairs now go 15-20 miles. We are now rounding up to our top 5 wheelchair facts.
Lastly, as our last and final top 5 wheelchair fact
5. Here is number 5.
Another interesting wheelchair fact is related to the international wheelchair sports.
It wasn't until the Rome Olympics in 1960, where the very first sports event for disabled athletes was organized.
Previously, the athletes used old conventional wheelchairs.
Moreoever, the races were only organized to cover a distance of up to 200 meters. It was in the year 1975 in a Boston Marathon were the first-ever wheelchair marathon competitor raced
Top 10 Karman Healthcare Wheelchairs of 2020 - Best Reviews Guide

Why is Louisa Collins known as the Borgia of Botany?
I've received so many emails in response to the story in Good Weekend (19/10) and one question that has arisen is: why was Louisa called the Borgia of Botany?
Two reasons: first, because Louisa supposedly used poison to dispatch her husbands (once you've read the book, you'll be able to decide for yourself whether she was guilty.)
The name Louisa sounds a little like Lucrezia - and Lucrezia Borgia is a famous figure in Renaissance history: the daughter of a Pope, she is rumoured to have owned a hollow ring, which she would fill with poison to drop into the drinks of her family's enemies.
Second: because Louisa lived in Botany, of course!
