Blanket Purchase order ( Frame work Order)To Simply the procurement of Low-Value Consumables and to reduce the costs blanket purchase order (Framework Order)can be used.
For Example, office supplies such as Pen, Paper. Small repairs, Cleaning work, Courier Service etc..
The business example for blanket PO. Create the Blanket PO with limit and Validity period. Then communicate with the vendor and notify the requirements. When the goods is delivered,no GRN required in the system. Cross check the invoice received from the vendor with limit and validity period of the Blanket PO.
The Main Advantage of Blanket Purchase order are
- Valid for Longer period.
- There is no goods receipt or service entry
- It is not necessary to create PO items for individual Procurement transaction.
- Order type FO ( Framework Order)
- Item Category B( Limit)
- Additional or Multiple account assignment possible in Invoice verification.
- Check on validity period and limit in invoice verification.
1) Go to t-code : ME21N
2) Create the blanket purchase order. Select the Framework Order from order type and enter the validity start date and validity end date in Header ( Additional Data)
3) Specify the vendor details, purchasing group, purchase organization and company code in header tab
4) Enter the Overall Limit and Expected value. 5) Choose Save and make a note of the purchase order number
1) Go to t-code : MIRO
2) Enter the Invoice date, net amount, tax amount from the vendor invoice.
3) On PO reference tab page, Choose Purchase order/Scheduling Agreement and enter the purchase order number
4) Choose Acct Assignment-Cost center in the Layout.
5) In the line item choose Acct Assignment and enter the account assignment data
6) For Multiple Account assignment enter the following data.

Report: Flint, Detroit more blighted than hurricane-ravaged New Orleans
The article is based on a study from the Greater New Orleans Data Center, which has been tracking blight in six cities notorious for urban decline.
New Orleans held the unwanted "most blighted" among the six cities -- which also include Cleveland, Baltimore and Youngstown, Ohio -- for five years until the report for 2011, the most recent data available to the Center.
About 21 percent of all New Orleans properties were blighted in 2011, compared with 27 percent in Flint and 24 percent in Detroit, the report says.
The percentage of blight was based on the number of blighted addresses or empty lots plus vacant but habitable homes according to data kept by the U.S. Postal Service.
The study notes that measuring blight can be a challenge because "each municipality defines blight differently, and some don't track blight at all."
The 2011 data for New Orleans is also the first year of the study that includes estimates by the study authors and a larger margin of error because of a change in how the USPS recorded data, according to the study.

Animal Species:Ischnochiton australis
Not only is this the largest chiton found in Sydney, it is also the most common. If you turn a rock over on any rock platform in Sydney, you should find a few. This species congregates in large groups on rocks close to the low-tide mark.
The shell of this chiton is green-brown and generally not covered in algae, as is the case with some other chiton species in Sydney.
This chiton species is found in southern Australia.
Chitons are found on intertidal rocky shores.

To carry out this activity we will take Spain as an example. According to the Soil Taxonomy Classification established by the US Soil survey staff, we can find 4 types of soil orders in Spain.
We will use a map where we appreciate these different types of soil orders but the only information that we have in the Attributes table is their names. Therefore we are going to join information so that we can also find the description of each type of soil in the attributes table.
We need to do a Table "Join" to do so. To link the Excel table to the attributes table we need a column indicating the name of the types of soil orders and another column with the information that we are interested in including. In this case, with the soil orders characteristics.
Right click the layer in ArcGIS and choose "Join and Relates" > "Join".
In the dialog box fill in the fields as follows:
- What do you want to join to this layer?: select "Joins attributes from a table" (this is important because choosing the other option will generate a completely different table).
- Field number "1": Select the field form the attributes table that we will use as join, this is, the filed that ArcGIS will join to the Excel table.
- Field number "2": Select the table to join to this layer, in this case the Excel Sheet 1.
- Field number "3": Choose the column in which the join will be based.
Both columns are named "soil_orders" (in the Attributes Table) and "types of soil order" (in the Excel table).
- "Join options" is to decide if we want to keep all records (maintaining all attributes including those that do not share the common field with the table, appearing the word "Null" instead) or just the matching ones between tables (it will only keep those records with a matching record, erasing the ones that don't).
For this example it doesn't really matter as in the Excel table we only have records that are matching.
The resulting table will be an attributes table joined to the Excel table and it will look like this:
In case we have made a mistake or we are not interested anymore we can remove the join by right clicking on the layer and choosing Join and Relates > Remove Join(s) > Remove All Joins.
We can carry out several joins as long as the join is not using the same attributes field (column).

Study Suggests Women More Likely To Have Nightmares
New research suggests women experience significantly more nightmares than men and have more emotional dreams.
There was no difference in the overall number of dreams reported, said researcher Dr. Jennifer Parker of the University of the West of England.
Previous research has shown women tend to have more disturbed sleep than men.
Changes in a woman's body temperature during her monthly cycle have been linked to such sleep disturbances.
"It has been known for a long time that pre-menstrual women report more vivid and disturbing dreams," said Dr. Parker, a lecturer in psychology.
"The consistent finding in this research was that women report more unpleasant dreams than men."
The women who took part in the study were much more likely to report dreaming about very emotionally traumatic events such as the loss of a loved one.
"In terms of processing emotional information, women may be more prone to taking unresolved concerns into their sleep life." Parker added.
"The research showed a gender difference but what is difficult to pick out is whether women are having more nightmares or remembering them better," said Dr. Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre.
He said the results fit in with what's in the literature, as women's sleep tends to be more disrupted and they have more insomnia.
"And more frequent wakening could cause them to pick up on the dream.
"But it could be that disturbed sleep is contributing to the fears."
Nightmares in everyone were probably more common than people realized as they are quickly forgotten about, he added.

Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA)
Definition - What does Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA) mean?
A tax-sheltered annuity (TSA) is a retirement plan for non-profit organizations, such as schools, hospitals, charities, and churches. These organizations can set up a TSA program for their employees so they can save for retirement. When an employee makes a contribution, they get a tax deduction for it. This plan also delays taxes on their investment earnings until the employee retires and starts making withdrawals.
A tax-sheltered annuity is also known as a tax-deferred annuity.
Insuranceopedia explains Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA)
A tax-sheltered annuity is the non-profit version of the 401(k). Because of the way the tax code is set up, the non-profit sector had to design a separate program. In practice though, the two retirement plans are nearly identical.
A worker can only use a TSA if their employer offers one. They cannot set up a plan individually. From there, the amount they can contribute every year also depends on how the plan is set up. Some employers also offer a matching contribution to the TSA to give employees more compensation and encourage them to save more.

Recession Survival Strategies For A Chartered Accountant
Image Source: Google
They expect quality work, and they'll pay extra cash to an experienced professional chartered accountant in Sydney. Truly, accountants are in the ideal position of assisting their business to survive the downturn and its own fiscally messy aftermath.
The followings hints can help devise approaches to accomplish that:
1. Plan ahead. A respectable chartered accountant at Sydney understands the intricacies of fiscal planning. These financial experts attempt to predict the need in the forthcoming months. If you're among many public accountants in Sydney, then you understand this could be anywhere from a few months to a few years.
2. Assist your clients. If you can find a means to supply exactly the same (if not better) level of support at a lower price or at least, without raising the price tag, you've got a better prospect of keeping customers despite the financial recession.
3. Request discounts from providers. As they say, nothing ventured nothing gained. In an economic recession, competition for the company might be fiercer.
4. Use your tools wisely. If you're a chartered accountant at Sydney, you understand how to examine your accountancy requirements in addition to your organization.
5. Track prices. All companies have variable and fixed costs, as chartered cost accountants understand. Careful financial planning involves making comprehensive reports. Reports will be able to help you monitor and analyze prices.
6. Control expenses. Understanding what those variables are and placing steps to minimize its impact can help considerably in restraining prices.
7. Make strategic decisions depending on the large image. Think about the company your company is in and the market generally. As an expert accountant at Sydney, be informed of business and financial trends through surveys, investigations, and studies.

Hitchhiker in Luxembourg (1977)
Hitchhiking is a way that people can travel from one place to another. Usually, a hitchhiker (a person who hitchhikes) will stand at the side of a road and hold his or her thumb in the air waiting for the car to come and pick her or him up. This is a sign that he or she wants a car to stop and pick him/her up. The distance traveled by hitchhiking can be anywhere from walking distance to across a continent. Hitchhiking is against the law in some areas (for example around a prison in the United States).
It was a very common way of travelling in Europe in the 1970s and is still done by many people all over the world.

text: While large, good condition, well-shaped oysters have high market value, they require optimal growing conditions and labour intensive techniques to culture. To handle this NSW oyster growers are progressively moving towards innovative technologies, one of which allows automated bulk processing of oysters. Growers now purchase sophisticated graders that clean, count and sort large number of oysters quickly and efficiently. While graders are routinely used to count and sort oysters into batches of similar size, these machines are actually measuring the characteristics of individual oysters. This presents an unprecedented opportunity to collect high-quality oyster growth and growing area performance data. This project focuses on the assessment of oyster lease and cultivation method performance. This can be translated into a management tool for improving the industries' productivity and environmental sustainability. The project also demonstrates the possibility of implementing a long term oyster performance monitoring program, with minimum additional effort from the growers.

Customize Bus Object Import and Export
You can use the Bus Editor to import bus objects to the base workspace and to export bus objects from the base workspace, as described in Save and Import Bus Objects. By default, the Bus Editor can save bus objects to, and import bus objects from, a MATLAB® code file or MAT-file. The files must be in a location that is accessible using an ordinary Open or Save dialog box.
You can write customized MATLAB functions that provide alternative import or export (or both) functionality. For example, you can write a customized function that stores the objects as records in a database, in a format that your organization uses.
After you design and implement a custom bus object import or export function, use the Simulink® Customization Manager to register the function. The registration process establishes custom import and export functions as callbacks for the Bus Editor Import to Base Workspace and Export to File commands. The callbacks replace the default capabilities of the Bus Editor. Customizing the Bus Editor import and export capabilities has no effect on other MATLAB or Simulink functions. Canceling import or export customization restores the default Bus Editor capabilities for that operation without affecting the other.
Required Background Knowledge
Customizing bus object import or export requires that you understand:
 - MATLAB language and programming techniques
 - Simulink bus object syntax
 - The proprietary format into which you translate bus objects, and the techniques necessary to access the facility that stores the objects.
 - Any platform-specific techniques for obtaining data from the user, such as the name of the location in which to store or access bus objects.
Write a Bus Object Export Function
A custom bus object export function requires at least one argument. You can use additional arguments to handle special actions by the function. The value of the first argument is a cell array containing the names of all bus objects that the Bus Editor has selected. You can use functions, global variables, or any other MATLAB technique, to provide values for any additional arguments. The general algorithm of a customized export function is:
 1. Iterate over the list of object names in the first argument.
 2. Obtain the bus object corresponding to each name.
 3. Translate the bus object to the proprietary syntax.
 4. Save the translated bus object in the local repository.
This example shows the syntactic shell of such an export callback function is:
function myExportCallBack(selectedBusObjects)
disp('Custom export was called!');
for idx = 1:length(selectedBusObjects)
 disp([selectedBusObjects{idx}'was selected for export.']);
Although this function does not export any bus objects, it is syntactically valid and can be registered. It accepts a cell array of bus object names, iterates over them, and prints each name. An operational export function:
 - Uses each name to retrieve the corresponding bus object from the base workspace
 - Converts the object to proprietary format
 - Stores the converted object
The additional logic is enterprise-specific.
Write a Bus Object Import Function
A custom bus object import function can take zero or more arguments to perform its task. You can use functions, global variables, or any other MATLAB technique to provide argument values. Also, the function can poll the user for information, such as a designation of where to obtain bus object information. The general algorithm of a custom bus object import function is:
 1. Obtain bus object information from the local repository.
 2. Translate each bus object definition to a Simulink.Bus object.
 3. Save each bus object to the MATLAB base workspace.
This example shows the syntactic shell of an import callback function is:
function myImportCallBack
disp('Custom import was called!');
Although this function does not import any bus objects, it is syntactically valid and can be registered with the Simulink Customization Manager. An operational import function:
 - Gets a designation of where to obtain the bus objects to import
 - Converts each bus object to a Simulink.Bus object
 - Stores the object in the base workspace
The additional logic is enterprise-specific.
Register Customizations
To customize bus object import or export, provide a customization registration function that inputs and configures the Customization Manager whenever you start Simulink software or refresh Simulink customizations. The steps for using a customization registration function are:
 1. Create a file named sl_customization.m to contain the customization registration function. Alternatively, you can use an existing customization file.
 2. At the top of the file, create a function named sl_customization that takes a single argument (or use the customization function in an existing file). When the function is invoked, the value of this argument is the Customization Manager.
 3. Configure the sl_customization function to set importCallbackFcn and exportCallbackFcn to be function handles that specify your customized bus object import and export functions.
 4. If sl_customization.m is a new customization file, put it anywhere on the MATLAB search path. Two frequently used locations are matlabroot and the current working folder. Alternatively, you can extend the search path.
Here is a simple example of a customization registration function:
function sl_customization(cm)
disp('My customization file was loaded.');
cm.BusEditorCustomizer.importCallbackFcn = _USER_;
cm.BusEditorCustomizer.exportCallbackFcn = @(x)myExportCallBack(x);
When Simulink starts up, it traverses the MATLAB search path looking for files named sl_customization.m. Simulink loads each such file that it finds (not just the first file) and executes the sl_customization function at its top, establishing the customizations that the function specifies.
Executing the example customization function displays a message (which an actual function probably would not). The function establishes that the Bus Editor uses a function named myImportCallBack() to import bus objects, and a function named myExportCallBack(x) to export bus objects.
The function corresponding to a handle that appears in a callback registration can be undefined when the registration occurs. However, it must be defined when the Bus Editor calls the function. The same latitude and requirement applies to any functions or global variables used to provide the values of additional arguments.
Other functions can also exist in the sl_customization.m file. However, the Simulink software ignores files named sl_customization.m, except when it starts up or refreshes customizations. Any changes to functions in the customization file are ignored until one of those events occurs. By contrast, changes to other MATLAB code files on the MATLAB path take effect immediately.
For more information, see Registering Customizations.
Change Customizations
You can change the handles established in the sl_customization function by:
 - Changing the function to specify the changed handles
 - Saving the function
 - Refreshing customizations by executing sl_refresh_customizations
Simulink traverses the MATLAB path and reloads all sl_customization.m files that it finds, executing the first function in each one, just as it did on Simulink startup.
You can revert to default import or export behavior by setting in the sl_customization function the appropriate BusEditorCustomizer element to [] and then refreshing customizations. Alternatively, you can eliminate both customizations in one operation by executing:
where cm was previously set to a customization manager object (see Register Customizations).
Changes to the import and export callback functions themselves, as distinct from changes to the handles that register them as customizations, take effect immediately, unless they are in the sl_customization.m file itself. If the callback functions are in the sl_customization.m file, they take effect next time you refresh customizations. Keeping the callback functions in separate files usually provides more flexible and modular results.

December 14, 2008 Dutch designer Neils Smeltink's clever multifunctional bike design can adapt to the needs of children as they become older by easily transforming from a bicycle to a scooter or a walking bike. Younger children will love to use it as a walking bike or scooter while older children can use it as a real bike.
The "Kid Balance" is great as a walking bike for younger children and will teach important motor skills such as balance, coordination and how to project themselves forward. Once they become confident, you simply add on a crank axle and you have a bicycle with pedals.
The conversion from scooter is just as simple, you pull the handle and the scooter becomes a walking bike.

NAME Test::Deep::DateTime::RFC3339 - Test RFC3339 timestamps are within a certain tolerance SYNOPSIS use Test::Deep; use Test::Deep::DateTime::RFC3339; my $now = DateTime->now; my $record = create_record(...); cmp_deeply $record, { created => datetime_rfc3339($now, '5s') }, 'Created is within 5 seconds of current time'; DESCRIPTION Test::Deep::DateTime::RFC3339 provides a single function, "datetime_rfc3339", which is used with Test::Deep to check that the string value gotten is an RFC3339-compliant timestamp. It can also check if the timestamp is equal to, or within optional tolerances of, an expected timestamp. RFC3339 was chosen because it is a sane subset of ISO8601's kitchen-sink. FUNCTIONS datetime_rfc3339 Without arguments, the value is only checked to be a parseable RFC3339 timestamp. Otherwise, this function takes a DateTime object or an RFC3339 timestamp string parseable by DateTime::Format::RFC3339 as the required first argument and a DateTime::Duration object or a DateTime::Format::Duration::DurationString-style string (e.g. "5s", "1h 5m", "2d") representing a duration as an optional second argument. The second argument is used as a ± tolerance centered on the expected datetime. If a tolerance is provided, the timestamp being tested must fall within the closed interval for the test to pass. Otherwise, the timestamp being tested must match the expected datetime. All comparisons and date math are done in UTC, as advised by "How-DateTime-Math-Works" in DateTime. If this causes problems for you, please tell me about it via bug-Test-Deep-DateTime-RFC3339 *at* Returns a Test::Deep::DateTime::RFC3339 object, which is a Test::Deep::Cmp, but you shouldn't need to care about those internals. You can, however, reuse the returned object if desired. Exported by default. BUGS Please report bugs via email to "" or via the web on.

Black and White Photography Exhibit showcases student work
Students, teachers and parents observed the work of Harvard-Westlake (HW) students in an aesthetic black and white photography exhibition in the Arlene Schnitzer Art Gallery in Wang Hall. Laid out before one's eyes was a very pleasing aesthetic of black and white contrasting images, developed using darkroom film techniques during class. The gallery was first presented Tuesday, Dec. 11, during break.
The exhibit featured work of several ninth graders expressing their creativity by using techniques such as using sharp contrasting lines and silhouettes to create striking modern art.
"I'm in Photography 1, so I was trying to understand the contrast between each item and how transparency works on the paper. I knew that I wanted a darker outline, so I used a more solid object to get that contrast, and for the whiter parts of my project, I used a cup that was transparent all the way through, so the light could travel through." Dylan Tatum '22 said.
While discussing what his class is working on now, Tatum said, "For the rest of the semester we're still doing dark room [photography], but we're working on it to a more detailed level, learning how to use double exposure, and stuff like that. For the past month and a half, our work has been camera less."
Overall, the exhibit was a creative expression of HW students art. A darkroom is a completely dark room, where black and white prints are commonly made, while a safelight is commonly used to illuminate the work of the area. Students are encouraged to explore while developing craft and composition.

Ensembles apply to trajectories, not frames
It is common to initially think of ensembles as applying on a frame-by-frame basis. However, ensembles are only valid on trajectories, not individual frames. To explain this, let's consider a couple simple common misconceptions.
Combining volume ensembles doesn't combine volumes
It might seem like Ensemble(volume_A) & Ensemble(volume_B) should be the same as Ensemble(volume_A & volume_B). But this is absolutely not the case. We can see this easily by using PartOutXEnsemble as the example ensemble. PartOutXEnsemble(volume) creates an ensemble in which at least one frame must be outside of volume. So the difference between and-ing together the two ensembles vs. and-ing together the two volumes can be described like this:
 - PartOutXEnsemble(volume_A) & PartOutXEnsemble(volume_B): there is at least one frame in the trajectory outside of volume_A, and at least one frame outside of volume_B. These two frames do not need to be the same frame.
 - PartOutXEnsemble(volume_A & volume_B): there is at least one frame which is outside of volume_A & volume_B, which is the intersection of volume_A and volume_B.
Note that the second case does NOT mean that a single frame is simultaneously outside of both volume_A and volume_B: it is outside the intersection, not the union. If what you want is a ensemble of trajectories which contain at least one frame that is simultaneously outside of volume_A and outside of volume_B, you can write that as PartOutXEnsemble(volume_A | volume_B).
A trajectory in 'PartOutXEnsemble(volumeA & volumeB)' but not in 'PartOutXEnsemble(volumeA) & PartOutXEnsemble(volumeB)'
The above trajectory is in PartOutXEnsemble(volume_A & volume_B) but not in PartOutXEnsemble(volume_A) & PartOutXEnsemble(volume_B). To be in that ensemble, it would need to have a frame in the red area, or the outside both volumes in the white area. The volume given by volume_A & volume_B is the purple area, and some frames are outside of that.
Complementary frames do not generate the logical inverse ensemble
Another case where your intuition can lead you astray is when thinking about complementary and inverse ensembles. For example, since InXEnsemble(volume) consists of frames inside of volume and OutXEnsemble(volume) consists of frames outside of volume, you might mistakenly think that InXEnsemble(volume) | OutXEnsemble(volume) allows all trajectories.
However, if you think about the whole trajectory, you'll see this is not the case. InXEnsemble requires that all frames be in the given volume; OutXEnsemble requires that all frames be outside the given volume. A trajectory tested with InXEnsemble(volume) | OutXEnsemble(volume) must satisfy one of the two ensembles: either all frames inside or all frames outside. It can not include a transition across edge of the volume.
OutXEnsemble is complementary to InXEnsemble in the sense that OutXEnsemble(volume) == InXEnsemble(~volume), but OutXEnsemble(volume)!= ~InXEnsemble(volume). This again comes back to the statement in the previous section that combining volume ensembles does not combine volumes, because InXEnsemble(volume) | InXEnsemble(~volume)!= InXEnsemble(volume | ~volume).
To find the actual logical inverse of an ensemble, we should return to its set-theoretic definition. For InXEnsemble, this is:
\[\forall t; x[t] \in V_x\]
where \(t\) is the time (frame number), \(x\) is the order parameter function which defines the volume, and \(V_x\) is the extent of the volume. To take the logical not of that, we apply the standard rules that \(\forall\) becomes \(\exists\) and \(\in\) becomes \(\notin\), giving us:
\[\exists t\ | \ x[t] \notin V_x\]
This is, of course, the definition for a PartOutXEnsemble. And if we think about this in words, it makes perfect sense: if the ensemble requires that all frames be in some volume, then the set of all trajectories which do not satisfy that ensemble would have at least one frame outside that volume.

Have you ever imagined, what can be as precious as gold; but as light as air? Well, I don't know about the past, but in today's time, its gold only! Yes, you read it right. Few scientists from ETH Zurich were able to convert gold in the form of a foam, which can be easily molded by hands. With this discovery, gold foam has become the lightest metal on earth, ever discovered.
Gold foam? How does it look like?
Researchers say that though gold foam is as light as air, it's difficult to tell the difference between solid gold and gold foam by naked eye. It so happens because of the aerogel that boasts the metallic luster. This amazing discovery has made the gold foam so soft that it can be molded by hand. That's possible because the gold foam consists of 98% air and only 2% of solid gold metal. Of this solid metal, over four-fifths are gold, and less than one-fifth is milk protein fibrils. This corresponds to around 20 carat gold, according to the researchers at ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). All in all, gold foam consists of a three-dimensional mesh of gold of mostly pores.
That's why the lead of this research, Raffaele Mezzenga who is a professor of Food and Soft Materials calls the gold foam as a material that is "lighter than water and almost as light as air".
How the gold foam was created?
The scientists created this the gold foam by heating milk proteins to produce nanometer-fine protein fibers, that are also called as amyloid fibrils. These fibrils were later placed in a solution of gold salt. The protein fibers interlaced to form a basic structure, along which the gold simultaneously crystallized into tiny particles. This resulted in a gel-like gold fiber network.
Gustav Nyström, the first author of the corresponding study in the journal Advanced Materials mentions,
"One of the big challenges was how to dry this fine network without destroying it,"
Where can we use the gold foam?
Scientists mention that the material holds unique properties. It is a metal, but due to its porous structure, it is also light. As a result, it can be successfully used in jewelry and watches. Besides, it can be used as a revolutionary catalyst since it has huge surface, with very little quantity. It can be used in chemical labs across the world to carry out several chemical tests on this precious metal.
Gold is not the first metal to be converted into a foam. Scientists have successfully converted copper also into a foam earlier. The copper foam is used in various researches and tests in chemical labs.

From the outside, a pressure-assist toilet may look like a traditional one but, they function rather differently. The ceramic tank has an air-filled pressure container fitted in it. While a standard toilet uses gravity to flush water through, a pressure-assist toilet uses compressed air. This results in water being forced into the toilet bowl at a much more powerful rate than gravity alone can achieve.
Pressure-assist toilets come with many advantages. For instance, the strong flushing capacity of this type of toilet results in fewer clogs in the system. Plus, it's water efficiency will save gallons of water each year making it much more eco-friendly.
Older homes also benefit from pressure-assisted toilets, this is because the powerful force of the flush helps to push waste through old pipework. Also, due to the tank's design, you will not see a buildup of condensation when the weather is humid. They are also easier to maintain than standard toilets.
Before you start replacing your toilets for pressure assist ones, there are a few things you should be aware of. For example, this type of toilet has a much louder flush than a gravity kind. They can also be more expensive than a standard toilet. You may also find that if your home has low water pressure, a pressure-assist toilet may not work as efficiently because they will need at least 20 to 30 PSI of pressure.

Most golfers know that their shots will go further on a warmer day, but why does this happen?
Coefficient of Restitution (COR)
Firstly, the ball's initial speed off the club face will increase.
At impact, the golf ball will compress against the club face and then regain its shape as it "springs" off the club face.
Some energy will always be lost during this compression and expansion, in the form of heat and sound.
The impact between the club face and the ball will become more "elastic" at as temperature increases, leading to a more efficient transfer of energy to the golf ball and thus a higher ball speed.
The coefficient of restitution (COR) is the ratio of the relative speeds of the club head and the golf ball before and after after impact. COR will increase with a rise in ball temperature.
In cold weather, keep your golf ball in your trouser pocket from green to tee in order to warm it up, it will then fly further on your tee shot.
The USGA and The R&A have limited golf clubs and balls to a maximum COR of 0.83.
Note that if you are hitting the common high durability range balls, the effective COR can easily be as low as 0.73, which will reduce the maximum ball speeds that you can produce by about 6%.
Secondly, as air temperature increases the molecules in the air will have more kinetic energy, this will cause the air to expand, resulting in lower air density because there are fewer molecules in a given volume (lower mass per unit volume).
Where ρ is the density of the air, P is the air pressure, R is the gas constant for dry air, and T is the absolute temperature. So if temperature (T) increases while pressure (P) stays constant, then air density (ρ) will decrease.
Lower air density results in less drag force on the golf ball as it flies through the air.
This reduced drag is partially offset, however, by reduced lift. Lower air density will reduce the lifting force on the ball, and thus reduce the carry distance of the shot.
The result is that higher temperatures will increase shot distance, but the precise effect will be dependent on club head speed, launch angle and spin rate.
As a rough guide, golf shots will fly approximately 5-6% further at 100°F (37.8°C) than at freezing point.
If the temperature where you play varies significantly during the day, then you will need to factor this into your club selection – each 12°F (6.7°C) drop in temperature will result in a 1% reduction in carry distance.

Primary Reactions of Cellulose Pyrolysis
Cellulose pyrolysis has been the subject of a large number of papers. However, the origin and nature of many products are still not well understood. This chapter begins by noting the difficulties connected to experimental and conceptual definitions and characterizations of slow and fast pyrolysis. The most representative results published during the long history of pyrolysis are summarized. The chapter points out the main controversies, unresolved questions and well established facts of cellulose pyrolysis. Special emphasis is placed on the primary steps of cellulose deconstruction and also on the formation and properties of intermediate species. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research topics.


Where Did the Expression "for the Love of Pete" Come From and What Does It Mean?
This phrase and others like it, for example "For Pete's sake", are euphemisms for the phrases "For the love of God/Christ" or "For God's/ Christ's sake" and hail from a time when those phases were considered blasphemous.
Nowadays phrases like "For the love of God" are commonly used, but the euphemisms are still used as well.
Other phrases with similar origins are "Zounds", archaic British slang, a contraction of "Christ's wounds"; "Oh my goodness" and "Oh my gosh" for "Oh my God; and "Gosh darn it" for "God damn it."

Objective: The present study aimed to explore client-therapist congruence in helpfulness evaluations session-by-session and its association with therapy outcomes. As suggested by West and Kenny's truth and bias model, we constructed congruence as both temporal congruence (i.e., the correlation between therapists' and clients' helpfulness judgments over time) and directional discrepancy (i.e., the average difference between therapists' and clients' helpfulness judgments). Method: Seventy-eight clients were treated by 22 experienced therapists within a 12-session course of integrative psychotherapy. At the end of each session, clients and therapists rated their perceptions of session helpfulness and, at the beginning of the next session, clients rated their own psychological functioning. Results: Therapists' and clients' helpfulness judgments were temporally congruent across treatment, and therapists' judgments were lower than those of their clients. Moreover, we found that therapists' negative directional discrepancy, but not temporal congruence, was associated with improvement in clients' psychological functioning as well as with clients' global treatment evaluations. Conclusion: Our results highlight the importance of therapists' vigilant assessment of session helpfulness in a course of brief integrative psychotherapy. As such, they strengthen the importance of further research regarding client-therapist congruence (in different aspects of the therapeutic process) and its association with therapy outcomes. Clinical or methodological significance of this article In this study, we found that therapists' tendency to provide lower session-helpfulness assessments than did their clients was associated with better therapeutic outcomes. These results may highlight the importance of therapists' cautious and humble stance when assessing their perception of session helpfulness across treatment.

Bird Of Paradise Plant Care Pruning – 7 Step By Step Instructions
This article will walk you through pruning the Bird of Paradise plants and will help you to create the best bird of paradise plant care pruning schedule for your bird of paradise plant.
Your plant care can be a challenge for even a seasoned gardener.You'll appreciate this guide whether you're a beginner or an experienced grower. It's a step-by-step, how-to guide for growing the Bird of Paradise, the world's most popular houseplant. This is one of the easiest plants to grow, and it's one of the most rewarding. The key is to provide the plant with enough light, heat, and water, while preventing insects and disease from ruining your efforts.
This beautiful tropical vine has a deep-green foliage, a wide variety of colors, and a beautiful bloom that looks something like a bird's crest. But there's a lot more to this plant than just a beautiful flower. These vines have a history of use by native tribes in Central America, Africa, and Asia, where they were used for food, medicine, and ceremonial purposes.
In this article I'm going to walk you through step by step the process of how to grow Bird of Paradise. We will talk about what you need and what you shouldn't do.
What Is A Bird Of Paradise Plant
A bird of paradise is a type of plant. Birds of paradise are flowering plants, some of which are found in tropical areas. They are one of the world's most popular exotic ornamental plants. The plant is also known for its spectacular flowers, which can range in size from three inches long to over six inches long. There are several different types of birds of paradise. The most famous are the two-headed parrot, whose head is surrounded by a bright red ring. The flower's color is due to a variety of chemicals in its stamen and pistil.
How to Grow a Bird of Paradise
There are many species of bird of paradise plant, which can be grown in your garden. Here are wonderful tips which will help you to keep the plants alive and well:
- -Give them plenty of light
- -Use fertilizer, but don't overdo it
- -Fertilize in spring and again in fall
- -Water regularly and thoroughly
- -Don't over-water
- -Don't water during the heat of summer.
- -Keep the soil moist, but not soggy
- -Avoid direct sunlight on plants
- -Don't expose the plant to drafts
- -Keep the plant at an ideal temperature, not too cold or too hot
Bird Of Paradise Plant Care Pruning – Prune The Bird Of Paradise Plant
When you're pruning a bird of paradise plant, you have to cut off all the new growth while still leaving some. That's why I don't think you can simply hack a few branches off. To get rid of a lot of those new tips, use a sharp knife to cut the plant back by about 15 degrees, then gently push the branch away from you with your hand. Try not to cut the stem and go through it with your sharp tool. Then go around the stem and cut the branch off where it meets the main trunk.
- Here are the 7 steps in this step-by-step guide about bird of paradise plant care pruning:
- Cut back all stems to about 2-3 inches long.
- Do not trim above the first bud.
- Thin out the plant by cutting out several buds at a time.
- Keep your pruners sharp!
- Don't trim right before a rainstorm.
- If you do need to trim a dead stem, wait until it has dried and been in the sun for a day or two before you trim.
- After pruning, give the plant a drink of water (or spray with water) to rehydrate it and then let it dry.
Watering And Feeding Birds Of Paradise
It's not just for show. While these birds are beautiful to look at, they don't provide the same value as a more common houseplant, like a cactus. Birds of paradise plants need to be nurtured in the same way as cacti. They need regular water and care to stay healthy. Like cacti, birds of paradise plants need to be well-rooted. In addition to watering and feeding, the stems also need to be pruned. Pruning removes dead tissue and prevents pests from growing.
Re-potting And Fertilizing Birds Of Paradise Plants
The most important part of any bird of paradise plant is the soil. If you don't give plants enough of what they need, they won't grow, bloom, and be healthy. Your soil must provide a deep substrate of organic matter; a balanced supply of all nutrients that plants need; air space for roots; and water for both the plant and the microorganisms that live in it. In addition, your watering schedule must be well-planned and regularly timed, because the plant needs to be watered as much as possible between 12 hours apart.
Staking, Trimming and Weeding Birds of Paradise Plants
The term "stake" in this context refers to the part of a plant that holds the entire plant together, while "trimming" is simply cutting off the part you don't want. Weeds are simply plants that don't belong in the garden. As you remove them, you'll find that some of them will grow back. Other than that, the only difference between a weed and a plant that's not a weed is that plants have flowers.
So, if you notice some plants which are not suitable for your garden, do the weeding process to leave more space for your bird of paradise plant. Trimming is best done when notice that some of the bird of paradise parts are rotting. However, we already mentioned bird of paradise plant care pruning which is really similar to the trimming process.
Conclusion On Bird of Paradise Plant Care Pruning
To start, you need to decide whether you want to prune the plant once it's established or whether you want to do this right from the beginning. To give the plant its best chance of survival, you should prune in the summer months, after flowering, when the plant is still growing actively. As with any other tree or shrub, the longer it's allowed to grow without being pruned, the bushier it will become, the weaker it will become, and the more susceptible it will be to disease and insect attack. By pruning, you can encourage new growth and stimulate the plant to develop thicker branches and larger leaves. This will improve your chances of attracting butterflies and hummingbirds.
Learn everything you need to know about caring for this beautiful tropical plant and do the bird of paradise plant care pruning process like a true professional gardener.
How do you prune Bird of Paradise?
How do you prune Bird of Paradise? If your plant is producing a lot of leaves but no buds, it might be time to prune. "It's a bit like a person who eats too much," says Tim. "A certain amount of weight gain is necessary, but when the weight is not shed, then pruning is often necessary." In other words, if you have too many leaves, it's time to cut back.
How often should you prune birds of paradise?
It's the ultimate plant question. After all, it can take years before you see any flowers! When it comes to pruning birds of paradise, this answer really depends on your goals for the garden. If your primary goal is to show off a single flower, then it's probably not a good idea to prune them at all. On the other hand, if you want a garden that is lush, robust, and easy to maintain, then you can prune the branches back to a more manageable size each year.
Do you cut off dead Bird of Paradise leaves?
You cut back the old, dead, diseased leaves. But how do you know when those leaves are truly dead? You can't tell just by looking at them, and even if you could, that wouldn't be very good information to base decisions on. So how do you determine which branches are too weak to support the weight of a mature bird? This is where the "test branch" comes into play. If you were planning to cut down a mature tree, you'd cut a branch that was at least five or six inches in diameter. That's the minimum size for a test branch.
Can I cut bird of paradise to the ground?
You can cut the birds of paradise to the ground, but you must be careful that you don't cut to the root of the plant. If you notice that your bird of paradise plant is growing too big you can cut some of the leaves that have grown too much. There is a process which is called "hard-cut" and that means u cut the whole plant to the healthy parts. If you notice that the plant is dry, cut those parts and watch it grow healthier.

Background and objective Laparoscopic and open surgery have been compared with conflicting results regarding their systemic responses. The sensitivity of biochemical markers that are used to discriminate between the stress responses to different types of surgery varies from study to study. We wanted to evaluate the stress response and the sensitivity of clinical and biochemical stress markers in patients undergoing laparoscopically assisted vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy.
Methods We performed a case-control study with patients undergoing laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (n=20) or abdominal hysterectomy (n=20). Pain scores were assessed at rest and during coughing, and active leg elevation and fatigue scores using a visual analogue scale. In 10 patients of each group, haematocrit, white cell count, C-reactive protein, glucose, cortisol, adrenocorticotrophic hormone, β-endorphin immunoreactivity, interleukin-6 and urine excretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine were measured preoperatively and during the first 44 postoperative hours.
Results The most sensitive symptoms and markers of the systemic response were pain scores during mobilization, fatigue scores, C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 (P < 0.01 in all comparisons). Pain scores at rest, and all other laboratory markers of the systemic response, did not discriminate between the two types of surgery.
Conclusion Follow-up of postoperative pain scores during mobilization and fatigue levels might be an easy tool for the evaluation of postoperative recovery. Using an identical anaesthetic technique, the neuroendocrine response was of the same magnitude after both types of surgery.

Research Problems and Strategies
When children were born illegitimately and the father's name is not known what research strategy is suggested?
1. Check who the witnesses were at birth of child. Likelihood is that there might be a relationship
There might exist a separate section in the church book for illegitimate births.
2. Check whether the mother marries the father later and the child became legitimized by the father's acknowledgment.
3. Check confirmation records.
4. Find school records to see if school fees were paid for the child and by whom (Search in School records. One possibility "Kirchenvisitationen", "Schülerverzeichnis")
5. Was the child adopted? (Search in court records, key word: " Adoptionen", "Vormundschaft")
6. See if a will exists in which the child was bequeathed money or property. (Search in court records for "Testamente")
When parents came from a city unknown what would be the research strategy?
1. Check the witnesses at the children's baptisms. Witnesses might be relatives and there may be a place name which could give a clue.
2. Check citizenship records of present residence (Search for" Bürgerrolle", "Bürgerbuch", "Bürgerliste"," Bürgerverzeichnis", "Einwohnermeldeverzeichnis")
3. Check for journeymen or servants records (Search for "Geburtsbriefe", "Gesindebuch", "Heimatscheine", "Wanderbücher", "Gutsarchiv" records)
4. Check census records. Search for "Volkszählungen".
5. Check guild records. Search for "Innungen"
6. Check neighboring church records to see if parents appeared as witnesses.
When given and surnames are present more than once in a parish and additional persons cannot easily be assigned to each other, what would be the research strategy?
1. Establish whole families. See who has married whom and had what children.
2. Compare findings in church books with court records. 90% of the population in Germany were dependent farmers. They did not own their farms but had usufruct, for which they were taxed and recorded in administrative records. Parents would bequeath, sell, lease or retire, and children inherit personal property. All such actions were recorded in court records. ( Search in archival records, such as "Schuldund Pfandprotokolle")
3. Check tax lists. Twice a year people were required to pay taxes. See if the same heads of family pay each time. If the head of household dies, the widow continues to pay taxes until her child becomes of age and takes over or she remarries. (Search for "Steuerlisten", "Steuerrollen", "Amtsrechnungen").
When different spellings exist for a family name what would be the research strategy?
1. Be aware that spelling rules are not set until the early 1900s. Dialects can apply when writing official records. Some consonants and vowels are interchangeable. The name Triebenbach can be spelled Driebenbach, Treubenbach, Drübenbach.
2. Names can be Latinized: The name Keller becomes Cellarius, names can sound as if they are Latin, such as Debelius.
3. The priest simply made a mistake
4. Consider looking at neighboring parish registers
5. Always compare the spelling of a name with other documents available for the time period. (The most common ones are taxlists, in German "Steuerlisten", "Steuerrollen").
When church records from a parish cannot be located what should be the research strategy?
1. Check if the correct parish was chosen. A good source to check is a gazetteer.
2. Have parish jurisdictions changed?
3. Check with the diocese (Bistum) or deanery (Dekanat) if a duplicate record does exist and where it was deposited.
For Evangelical records check here (Evangelische Kirche in Thüringen)
Catholic church (Adressen, Gemeinden, Dekanate)
When church books no longer exist because they were destroyed what should the research strategy be?
Gather information from other records:
1. Tax records (Steuerlisten, Schatzungslisten) – located in state archives
2. Debt registers, citizenship records, fire insurance registers (Schuldenregister, Löscheimerlisten, Brandregister, Bürgerlisten) – located in city archives, mayor's office
3. Guild records, notary records, land records (Innungslisten, Zunftbücher, notarielle Akten, Grundbuchsachen – state archives
4. Kataster, Bannbücher (cadastral, absolvent books) – state archives, cadastral offices, finance departments
5. Tax records of parishes (Lagerbücher) – church archives
6. House lists, address books, house ownership lists, military records, vaccination records (Häuserlisten, Adressbücher, Hauswirtslisten, Stammrollen, Impflisten) – city archives
7. News papers (Zeitungen, Amtsblätter) - city archive, state archive
8. Emigration records, census records, Wählerlisten (Auswanderungsakten, Volkszählungen,
voting records) – state archive
9. Cemetery records (Gräber, Gottesacker) – city archive
Check out the archive list available for Thüringen

Letting bodies be bodies: Exploring Relaxed Performance in the Canadian performance landscape
Authors: Andrea LaMarre, Carla Rice, Kayla Besse
There is an increasing movement toward accessibility in arts spaces, including recent legislative changes and commitments at individual, organizational, and systemic levels to integrating access into the arts across Canada. In this article, we explore Relaxed Performance (RP) in the context of this movement. We present the results of a reflexive thematic analysis of interviews conducted with participants who completed RP training offered by the British Council to. understand the training's effectiveness and impact. We explore the significance of the training, and of RP in general, and in relation to disability studies and cultural and political activism. We undertake this exploration against a backdrop of interrogating who RP is for and by. The themes we describe are: Committed to Access, Training is Critical, Inviting Bodies to be Bodies, and Imagining Audiences. These themes tell a story of how RP relates to broader access work, the importance of training grounded in and led by disability/difference, the need to consider the relationships between bodies and spaces, and the tensions inherent to billing RP as "for all." We conclude with an exploration of possible modifications, enhancements, or theoretical imaginings that could help RP to become more radically open to difference as it emerges, shifts, and changes.

Tactile sensors and electrotactile stimulators can provide important links between humans and virtual environments, through the sensation of touch. Soft materials, such as low modulus silicones, are attractive as platforms and support matrices for arrays sensors and actuators that laminate directly onto the fingertips. Analytic models for the mechanics of three dimensional, form-fitting finger cuffs based on such designs are presented here, along with quantitative validation using the finite element method. The results indicate that the maximum strains in the silicone and the embedded devices are inversely proportional to the square root of radius of curvature of the cuff. These and other findings can be useful in formulating designs for these and related classes of body-worn, three dimensional devices.

The dimensions of LEGO brick are documented well, but what about DUPLO bricks? If have only found the general statements that DUPLO is twice as large as LEGO but no exact numbers. What about the thickness of walls and the space that must be subtracted at each side (0.2mm for LEGO), is it also just doubled?. If you compare the bottom of a LEGO 2x4 brick and a DUPLO 2x4 brick, there are also additional small walls that I have not found documented.
Update: Some dimensions of a DUPLO brick can be derived from the dimensions of a LEGO brick, which have been documented by Robert Cailliau among others:
Above and below a DUPLO 2x2 brick one can put two LEGO 2x4 bricks (or four 2x2 LEGO bricks). The outer walls of such stack seem to align perfectly, so the width and length of a DUPLO 2x2 brick is equal to the width of a LEGO 2x4 brick, which is 31.8mm (32mm-0.2mm). By putting DUPLO and LEGO side by side, one can also see that the DUPLO height without studs is twice of the size in LEGO (19.2mm). The LEGO studs below the DUPLO brick touch DUPLO walls, so DUPLO wall thickness is the same as LEGO wall thickness (either before spline walls were introduced to LEGO bricks or LEGO wall thickness plus the length of LEGO splines), which is 1.5mm. The DUPLO tube height is the height of the brick minus the height of a LEGO stud (which is somewhere between 1.6mm and 1.8mm). I'd better use the larger value, so the tubes start 1.8mm above the floor of the brick. From the top, LEGO tubes fit into DUPLO studs, so the stud inner diameter should equal to 6.51mm (8*√2 - 4.8$). But if you carefully look inside a DUPLO stud, this fitting is only achieved by four additional lugs that give a minimal inner diameter around 6mm to facilitate snapping into.
The remaining dimension include:
- stud outer diameter
- stud height
- tube inner diameter (but DUPLO tubes are not fully circular inside on a closer look!)
- tube outer diameter (also occurs at some other elements for instance as stem at #6510)
- spline length
Spline length can be derived from wall width and stud outer diameter. Tube outer diameter and stud outer diameter can also be computed from each other. So basically three dimensions are left to be explained. Comments and insights are welcome how more of the remaning dimensions can be derived from standard LEGO/DUPLO dimensions.

The persistence phenomenon is studied in a financial context by using a novel mapping of the time evolution of the values of shares in a portfolio onto Ising spins. The method is applied to historical data from the London Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 index (FTSE 100) over an arbitrarily chosen period. By following the time dependence of the spins, we find evidence for a power law decay of the proportion of shares that remain either above or below their 'starting' values. As a result, we estimate a persistence exponent for the underlying financial market to be. Preliminary results from computer simulations on persistence in the economic dynamics of a toy model appear to reproduce the behaviour observed in real markets.

What is Deferred Compensation?
- Deferred compensation is a certain amount of compensation from an employee that is put to one side to be paid at a later date.
- The different types of deferred compensation contain pension plans, stock option plans and retirement plans.
- A deferred compensation plan is a way for employers to motivate their key employees and hold onto them.
- Deferred compensation can also be qualified or non-qualified. These are the two types of deferred compensation.
- Qualified deferred compensation plans are governed by planned pension plans. If an organisation has this put into the position they must offer it to all their employees.
- Non - qualified deferred compensation plans are a way for employers to attract and motivate key employees in a workplace to stay.

What is iridology?
How iridology work?
Explain the science of it. How is the eye literally the window to the soul?-Iridology is the science of the iris, or colored portion, of the eye. The iris contains bundles of thousands of nerve fibers and is a reflection of the entire body.The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body by way of the brain and central nervous system through the optic nerve. The optic nerve connects to the central nervous system (CNS) which is the main communication link to everything that goes on in the body.Think of your brain as your body's 'hard drive;' it remembers everything that ever happened to your body. Your iris is then like the 'file folder.' So 'reading' the iris to find out what is going on in the body is similar to how one reads a computer screen to access what's in a computer.
Iridology is the study of the iris as associated with disease. The 'iris' of the eye, is the most complex tissue structure in the human anatomy, which is the exposed nerve endings that makes up the colored part of the eye. From the time we are conceived the iris and all its fibers are formed along with the brain before any other organ is developed, making the eyes an extension of the brain endowed with thousands of nerve endings, microscopic blood vessels, muscle and other tissues. The iris is connected to the tissue of the body by way of the brain and nervous system. The branched nerve fibers (such as dendrites) receive their impulses by their connections to the optic nerve and spinal cord. Nerve fibers in the iris respond to changes in body tissues by manifesting a reflex physiology that corresponds to specific tissue changes and locations, by way of line patterns, fiber structure and color changes in the iris. By this means the body's inherited and/or acquired state of health sends neural reflexes to the fibers within the iris causing groups of fibers to change by way of line patterns, characteristics, shapes, structures, forms and color in the iris and that is what an Iridologist studies.

Healthy eating is now a great deal more popular than it used to be and rightfully so. Poor diet is a leading factor in health problems such as heart disease and hypertension which can put a drain on the economy. No matter where you look, people are encouraging you to live a healthier way of life but but then, you are also being encouraged to rely on convenience foods that can affect your health in a terrible way. In all probability, most people think that it takes a lot of work to eat healthily and that they will have to drastically alter their way of life. In reality, however, merely making a few minor changes can positively affect everyday eating habits.
You can make similar alterations with the oils that you use for cooking. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat which can help to lower bad cholesterol. Olive oil is also a great source of Vitamin E which has a lot of benefits and is also good for your skin. It might be that you already feel that you eat fruit and veggies but it can be worthwhile considering how fresh these are depending on where you get these. Organic foods are an excellent choice and will reduce any possible exposure to harmful chemicals. Looking for a local supplier of fresh vegetables and fruits will give you the choice of consuming foods that still contain almost all of the nutrients which are often lost when produce has been kept in storage before it is sold.

 Something that was much insisted on when I was at school, because i guess some kids found it hard to get their heads round. Like 1M HCl or NaOH are 1N but 1M H2SO4 or Na2CO3 are 2N. You get the idea? - it's the same as the distinction between molar masses and equivalent masses (or weights as we used to call them).
 I think they have been phased out of teaching now, have they? If so it's no loss, they are unnecessary.

 Normality meant different things at different moments in time. There was a period when normality depended on the reaction - so 1M sulfuric acid was 2N in the reaction with NaOH, but 1N inteh reaction with CaCl. Then IUPAC decided to make it always reaction with H+ or e- - so 1M sulfuric acid would be always 2N. Then, IUPAC decided they created so much confusion it is better to deprecate normality at all.
Have something to add?

The following tarpaulin manufacturers tell you about the requirements of PE tarpaulins for raw materials!
In the production process of PE tarpaulin, the requirements for raw materials are often very strict, because if the material is unqualified, the quality of the tarpaulin will definitely be affected. The requirements for raw materials of PE tarpaulin are as follows:
During the production of PE tarpaulin, if there are impurities, it will damage the catalyst system and its function, and directly affect the quality of the tarpaulin. Therefore, the quality of the product is high and the corresponding price is high if PE polyethylene material is used. But the service is also good. In the production of PE tarpaulin, some additives are also used, but it should be noted that the purer the additive, the better, because it can effectively reduce the consumption of raw materials and the emission of pollutants, which is very beneficial to environmental protection. Also, the higher the purity of PE polyethylene, the better.
The above is the requirements for raw materials in the production process of PE tarpaulin. It can be seen that the requirements for raw materials are still very strict. Because of this, the quality of the tarpaulin during subsequent use is guaranteed.

Create a Recursive Hierarchy Group (Report Builder and SSRS)
Applies To: SQL Server 2016
In Reporting Services paginated reports, a recursive hierarchy group organizes data from a single report dataset that includes multiple hierarchical levels, such as the report-to structure for manager-employee relationships in an organizational hierarchy.
Before you can organize data in a table as a recursive hierarchy group, you must have a single dataset that contains all the hierarchical data, You must have separate fields for the item to group and for the item to group by. For example, a dataset where you want to group employees recursively under their manager might contain a name, an employee name, an employee ID, and a manager ID.
In Design view, add a table, and drag the dataset fields to display. Typically, the field that you want to show as a hierarchy is in the first column.
Right-click anywhere in the table to select it. The Grouping pane displays the details group for the selected table. In the Row Groups pane, right-click Details, and then click Edit Group. The Group Properties dialog box opens.
In Group expressions, click Add. A new row appears in the grid.
In the Group on list, type or select the field to group.
In the Recursive Parent list, enter or select the field to group on.
Run the report. The report displays the recursive hierarchy group, although there is no indent to show the hierarchy
Click the text box that contains the field to which you want to add indent levels to display a hierarchy format. The properties for the text box appear in the Properties pane.
If you do not see the Properties pane, click Properties on the View tab.
In the Properties pane, expand the Padding node, click Left, and from the drop-down list, select .
In the Expression pane, type the following expression:
=CStr(2 + (Level()*10)) + "pt"
The Padding properties all require a string in the format nnyy, where nn is a number and yy is the unit of measure. The example expression builds a string that uses the Level function to increase the size of the padding based on recursion level. For example, a row that has a level of 1 would result in a padding of (2 + (1*10))=12pt, and a row that has a level of 3 would result in a padding of (2 + (3*10))=32pt. For information about the Level function, see Level.
Run the report. The report displays a hierarchical view of the grouped data.

A conservation plan was prepared for Fonthill, Henry Chapman Mercer's concrete masterpiece in Doylestown, Pennsylvania which was built between 1908 and 1912. The Plan, commissioned by the Bucks County Historical Society, addressed the short and long-term challenges of maintaining the integrity of the building's concrete structure and its cast-in-place decorative arts collections. The primary objective was to clearly understand Fonthill's complex and interrelated components and systems, and to identify the critical issues and formulate a short and long-range plan for addressing those issues. Construction documents for phased restoration work followed the initial conservation plan.

How to show/hide a broken window
In the course of mitigating the incident, your responders may open doors and break windows. You can show this effect using environment variables in the same way as the instructions relate in "How to embed a victim in a node/location". That article gives the background information about environment variables, as well as the article "Adding Environment or Participant Variables".
As a follow-on to this article, if you want to show or hide smoke as a result of breaking the window, see our article "How to Change the State Programmatically."
Essential Idea
The essential elements you will need to add a broken window are:
 1. A picture of the location with the window intact
 2. A picture of the window broken
 3. An environment variable that will say whether the window is intact or broken.
Pictures typically come out of digital cameras at a high resolution, at least 180 or 300 dpi, and often more than 1000 pixels wide. For screen rendering, you can reduce the dpi to 72, and the overall size (for a picture filling the whole screen) to 640x480. You should reduce your broken window picture (item #2, above) by the same proportion as you reduce the node/location photo.
Note: You can resize the image inside of Flash, but that does not reduce the picture's dpi--it only scales the photo down. This means the photo still takes up the larger space. Larger space is not bad in itself, but it then requires more bandwith to transmit around your network, so there can be loading delays. Therefore, we recommend smaller sizes.
The essential idea is to create a Movie Clip with your broken window picture, and create an environment variable to hold the status of the clip as visible or invisible. Then you will add code to check the status of the variable when the movie first loads, as well as hook up a routine that detects when the value changes -- and you will tell the broken window clip to show or hide itself, depending on the value.
The steps are:
 1. Place your node photo at the bottommost layer of your movie.
 2. On a higher layer you will import your broken window graphic. Position the broken window exactly in the place you want it to appear, covering the intact window.
 3. Then, by choosing Modify > Convert to Symbol... (with the broken window selected), you convert it into a Movie Clip -- this allows it to be given an (instance) name to which we can refer (so we can write code to tell that instance to show or hide itself).
 4. Now give this instance an Instance Name (for example, "broken1").
 5. Create a new layer to hold the code that will tell the broken window to turn on or off.
 6. Open the Actions panel and enter the following code into the panel:
function eVarValChg (id, val) {
 if (id == "WINDOW1" && val == "true") {
 broken1._visible = true;
 } else if (id == "WINDOW1" && val == "false") {
 broken1._visible = false;
var win1Val = _parent._parent.getEnvironVar("WINDOW1");
if (win1Val == "true") {
 broken1._visible = true;
} else {
 broken1._visible = false;
There are two blocks of code to explain. In the first block, the code that begins with function eVarValChg defines a routine that CommandSim knows to call if an environment variable changes (for example, the instructor sets the value of a variable). Whenever a variable changes, the variable name (the message) is passed in as id and as well as the new value (val). The next line checks to see if the message is WINDOW1, which will be the name of our environment variable. If it is, then the routine sets the visibility of the broken window Movie Clip to visible (true) or invisible (false), depending on whether the value coming in is true or false.
The second block is an instruction to execute when the movie first loads. Instead of waiting to be told the value of WINDOW1, it queries CommandSim for the value, and based on the value, it sets the broken window MovieClip to visible or invisible.
The preceding steps have taken care of all the things we need to do in the node's Flash file. Now we have to add the environment variable WINDOW1 to our scenario definition.
The simplest way is to open the Scenario Designer tool and choose the STATES & VARIABLES tab. In this tab on the top right is an area in which you can create or modify environment variables. When you click to add an environment variable, it will ask you for the name (which is what instructors see, and may have spaces), the id (in our example, WINDOW1) which cannot have spaces, and the starting value. Type in a name, type in WINDOW1 for the id, and make the starting value false if you want the broken window to be invisible by default, or true if you want to start the scenario with the window broken already.
Once you save your scenario file, and then use the ServerFilePrep tool to package it into a form for the server, you are all done. When you load the instructor panel next, you should see your environment variable in the STATES & VARIABLES tab on the instructor panel. If you click the name, the current value will appear in the box below. You can enter the new value (true or false), then press the Do It button. The clock must be running (not paused) for the new value to take effect.
Note: if you prefer to make the change directly in the scenario XML file (without using the Scenario Designer), you can add the following to your scenario definition file, replacing the line that reads

We strongly urge you to make a backup copy of the scenario definition file before you edit it, in case you enter an incorrect character or accidentally delete something important. Flash is unforgiving with errors in XML files.
For an example of this, you can use the example file from the article "How to embed a victim in a node/location".

Pioneers of Love
By Robin Oliver
SBS has a fine tradition in indigenous matters, but seldom has it offered such a beautifully stated piece of close focus as it does in this two-part account of Leandro Illin, a Russian nobleman who fled rising Bolshevik unrest and in 1910 arrived in Queensland. With 11 other Russians, he took up a parcel of land in wild country in the Atherton rainforest. Their Utopian community became known as Little Siberia.
Leandro was 28 when he met Kitty Clarke, a 20-year-old Aboriginal widow with three children. His upbringing had made him respect justice and equality and he scorned the white man's law that made it a criminal offence to have sex or even "sleep under the same blanket" as an Aborigine. As his diary of 1912 states, it was "difficult to make a home without a woman". So, in the language of the day, he "had connections" with Kitty.
When this relationship produced a child, Leandro applied to marry Kitty, whereupon John Bleakley, the Chief Protector of Aborigines, a man determined to maintain the purity of the white man "when there is a degrading race living in those conditions", sent Constable Pike to investigate. Pike was impressed and believed Leandro and Kitty should be married.
Bleakley refused and ordered the children seized. The family hid deep in the bush. How Leandro confronted Queensland Premier William Gillies at Atherden railway station to plead his case, how Gillies sent consent to marry via Constable Pike and how Leandro and Kitty, avoiding Bleakley, made an arduous journey to get married in Innisfail is a grand story, superbly illuminated by Leandro's daughters.

Bernard Street Bridge
|Bernard Street Bridge|
|Location Map ( geo)|
|Crossings related to the A199|
The Bernard Street Bridge carries the primary A199 over the Water of Leith in Leith. The bridge appears to date from the 1960s, consisting of three shallow concrete arches across the river. The size of the structure is deceptive, with much of it hidden under the water level which is maintained at an unnaturally high level by lock gates. In the past the Water of Leith was tidal.
Looking at the bridge today, it seems hard to imagine that it carries a primary route, being lined with parked cars, and taxi ranks, where it may once have been S4. However, with a traffic signal controlled junction on the west side of the bridge, and a steady flow of traffic in each direction the bridge is still busy.
Somewhere in this area is the site of the first bridge at Leith, built by the church in 1496. The bridge was demolished in c1780, when the expansion of Leith as a Port was already underway, and the removal of the bridge presumably opened up more of the river banks for development as wharves.
Another bridge, known as the Lower Drawbridge (the Upper Drawbridge is now known as Sandport Place Bridge), stood a little to the north of the modern bridge, seemingly requiring traffic to dogleg at each end to continue along the main Bernard Street - Commercial Street thoroughfare. This bridge was demolished in 1910.
Undoubtedly there have been other bridges on this site, or near to it, in the missing years between the two bridges mentioned above. However, more research is required to discover where they were, when they were built and what they looked like. Undoubtedly most would have allowed ships or boats to pass through them.

Referencing Grid Level Expressions from Advanced Query
Cory Fifield -
Trouble viewing images? Click on images to enlarge.
In this article we cover referencing Grid Level Expressions from Advanced Query.
How does it work?
Expressions are processed at the data grid level, after the query results have been processed and returned from the database. Expressions are then added to the resulting dataset and accessible throughout VDM's controls. If you're using Advanced Query, VDM needs to know where to place the Expressions in the resulting dataset. So you can add an expression to the Grid after you run an Advanced Query, but if they're not added to the Field Selection List in the Advanced Query, VDM doesn't know where to put them.
We don't recommend Grid Level Expressions be used with Advanced Query. We recommend Advanced Queries be used for SQL Scripting only, and additional calculations that need to be performed on the resulting dataset be configured and completed using Calculated Fields in Finished Reports or Visualize.
How to reference grid level expression in Advanced Query
1. Create your Advanced Query and run it.
2. Create the Grid Expressions. Make sure to have the correct datatypes used for the expression.
3. Add the new expression(s) to the select statement in the Advanced Query.
4. Save, run and preview the View with the new expression(s) added to the Advanced Query.
