The VELOMATIC from Schaeffler is an automatic bicycle gearshift system that is suitable for a range of applications. It replaces the conventional manual gearshift system and allows gear hubs in bicycles, pedelecs, and e-bikes to shift gears automatically. The FAG-VELOMATIC automatic transmission is compatible with a wide variety of commonly-used hub gears. It comprises a gearshift actuator and a coupled communications module. The mechanical motion of the bicycle's gearshift system is carried out by the gearshift actuator via a Bowden cable.
The communication module has the function of an information gateway. This intelligent communication allows interaction with almost any conventional electric drive. Thanks to the compact dimensions of its components, it can be installed inside the frame of the bicycle.
The VELOMATIC continuously calculates the optimum gear for the rider based on the bicycle's speed and the incline of the terrain. The gearshift program can be individually adjusted by the rider using the VELODAPTIC bicycle app. The operating software that is installed records the input variables that are needed for regulating the gearshift actuator and derives from them the necessary controlled variables.
- Sensors for uphill and downhill travel
- The system can be integrated into any pedelec with a CAN bus, as it is not dependent on a specific manufacturer
- Automatically switches to the optimum starting gear when the rider comes to a stop based on the incline of the terrain
- Shifting errors are prevented
- Smooth gearshift with no perceptible transition
- Compact and lightweight design
- Extended range for e-bikes due to battery-saving operation
- Premature wear on the bicycle's chain and gearshift system is prevented
- Continuous calculation of the ideal gearshift point using special algorithms
- E-bikes and pedelecs

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a sweet, affectionate dog breed, and people love these dogs for their friendliness. These dogs are excellent pets because they are intelligent and get along well with humans and children. However, as Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have long fur, many people are afraid to get this breed due to the potential shedding issues.
So, do Cavalier King Charles Spaniels shed a lot?
It's true that these dogs shed, although the shedding is typically moderate and not that alarming. There are other breeds that shed much more, so this shouldn't be a dealbreaker when considering this breed for a pet. If you'd like to know more about Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, their shedding, and how to manage it, keep reading the rest of our article.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – More About the Breed
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a toy spaniel breed with a medium-length coat. These canines are active, yet they love to relax and spend time with people. They make excellent companions, which is why many people choose them for their pets.
If you're considering getting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, it's a good idea to know a bit more about them.
These puppies are typically healthy, although they are prone to certain health problems¹, including:
However, as long as you take your Cavalier to regular vet checks, it will live a long and happy life.
Cavaliers have medium-long, silky coats that typically require a lot of attention to keep their coats in good condition. You should brush your Cavalier daily, as brushing reduces potential shedding and keeps its coat smooth and tangle-free. It's a good idea to dedicate a specific time every day that you'll brush your Cavalier, as it can be an excellent bonding experience for the two of you.
It's also advisable to wash your Cavalier once every 2 weeks and trim its nails once a month to keep them in shape.
Training and Exercise 🎾
Although Cavaliers were first bred as companion dogs, they are very active and love sporty canine activities. These puppies will gladly exercise, while they can also spend the whole day just lying around.
As this breed is quite intelligent, you shouldn't have any issues teaching your Cavalier new tricks, and it's best to begin from an early age to help your Cavalier develop proper manners.
Cavaliers don't require special nutrition, but you should give them age-appropriate food. However, it's important to mention that these dogs can develop obesity problems. Also, a poor diet could lead to increased shedding.
Because of that, it's crucial to watch your Cavalier's calorie consumption, provide high-quality foods and promote exercise whenever possible. When giving treats to this breed, try to do it in moderation because of the obesity problems these canines can have.
Does This Breed Shed a Lot?
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels shed, but their shedding is typically moderate. Most categorize their shedding as average compared to dogs of similar breeds and coats. They shed evenly throughout the year, but their shedding is less noticeable during autumn and spring.
Their coats are medium length; the hair on their faces is shorter, whereas it's longer around their ears. Cavaliers have a topcoat that makes it easy to maintain their hair, as long as you brush it regularly. If you don't brush their coats frequently, they can easily get tangled, causing more problems down the way.
What Can Cause Excessive Shedding in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels?
While these dogs shed moderately, there are several different things that can lead to excessive shedding in this breed. Cavaliers shed more during their puppy years because their adult coat is still developing. It's nothing abnormal, and the shedding will reduce once your Cavalier reaches adulthood.
Another thing that can affect the amount of shedding in your Cavalier is the time of the year. These canines shed more during spring and fall. It's also common for females to shed more during pregnancy, after they have a litter, and during heat cycles.
The food you give your Cavalier will also have an impact on shedding. Cavaliers with a poor diet are likely to shed more than Cavaliers that consume high-quality foods. Try to avoid any foods with cheap fillers, including:
You could even notice excessive shedding if your Cavalier has fleas or ticks. If you notice scratching in your Cavalier, take it to the vet to get appropriate treatment, resolve the problem and reduce shedding.
Another health issue that could lead to your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel shedding a lot is Cushing's disease¹. It's a severe genetic disorder that leads to an array of issues, from abnormal shedding to increased appetite and lethargy. In case you notice these symptoms, it's crucial to take your dog to the vet, as the outcome could otherwise be lethal.
Is This Breed Suitable for People with Allergies?
Cavaliers are not hypoallergenic, so their coats can cause allergies. Also, purebred dogs of this breed can cause a lot of harm to your sinuses. Because of that, people with allergies should avoid this breed, and look for other suitable breed options instead.
There are a couple of Cavalier mixed breeds, like the Cavapoo and Bichon Frises that shed less and are more hypoallergenic so they might be a better choice. If you have allergies, but still insist on getting a Cavalier, you can follow these tips to reduce your allergy reactions:
Overall, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels shed moderately, and it's nothing you should be particularly worried about. However, it's important to keep your Cavalier's coat in good shape, offer healthy meals, and watch out for possible health conditions because that will help reduce shedding.

French women will now need to be 18 years or older to consent to marry, three years older than previously required by law. The French parliament passed the law as a method of preventing forced marriages, reports Ireland Online, and the French standard is now aligned with other states that belong to the European Union.
Ireland Online also reports that the new law marks the first change to the legal age for marriage age since 1804, when Napoleon enacted his Napoleonic Code. For 200 years, women's age of consent has been 15, while men's has been 18. In addition to the marriage age, the law addresses marital rape and abuse. According to BBC, the French parliament is also passing laws to combat child pornography, female genital mutilation, and sex tourism.

Thermotreated wood. Thermotreatment
Thermotreated wood is manufactured under controlled heating conditions at temperatures of 170…230 degrees C. The degree of heat depends on what type of wood is being processed and what type of characteristics are desired. The process involves no chemicals or addatives. Since the only outside agent used is moisture, we can proudly claim this to be natural product. During the thermotreatment process, the cellular structure changes. The hemicellulose starts to break down and pitch in coniferous woods evaporate.
During the thermo treatment, the following changes occur:
 1. Colour changes from light to dark brown
 2. Deformation due to moisture variations decreases by 50-90%
 3. Equilibrium moisture content lowers
 4. Thermal conductivity decreases by 0-30%
 5. Overall heat-transfer coefficient k improves
 6. Bending strength decreases by 0-30%
 7. Elasticity decreases, but rigidity increases
 8. Wear resistance improves
 9. Wood becomes lighter in weight
 10. Biological durability improves
 11. Pitch evaporates
 12. Dead knots fall out
 13. Cellular structure changeswood „ages" structurally
As it appears from above, thermotreatment offers a quite good opportunity e.g. for the carpentry industry to produce environment-friendly wood products of a new kind of structure.

Stencil thickness makes a difference! Thicker stencils allow more paste to be deposited which is good for large parts and connectors but can cause shorts with finer pitch parts.
To calculate the optimal stencil thickness for fine pitch placement, IPC standard #7525 states:
Stencil Thickness = 2.64 + 0.0831 * Pitch of component (in mils)
So, say for an FT232RL chip, which is a SSOP part with 0.65mm pitch. First figure out the pitch in thousands of an inch:
0.65 mm / 25.4 = 0.0256 inches = 25.6 mils
Then calculate according to the equation above
2.64 + 0.0831 * 25.6 = 2.13 + 2.64 = 4.77 mil
So for SSOP parts, 4 to 5 mil is the thickest you should go


Data Acquisition Toolbox
Measuring a Noise Floor Using Custom Trigger Conditions
This example shows how to find and acquire a period of at least 2 seconds of relative quiet that occurs between two signals. This would be useful for applications that need to measure a noise floor and calculate a signal-to-noise ratio.
For this example we will show how to initiate a software trigger when using a custom set of conditions that is more complex than the standard values provided by the TriggerCondition property of Data Acquisition Toolbox™ objects.
Note: This can only be run using the 32-bit version of MATLAB® and Data Acquisition Toolbox™. To learn more about using data acquisition devices on other platforms, see this example.
First, find any running data acquisition objects and stop them. This stops all running data acquisition objects from interfering with this example. This code is usually not necessary outside this example unless there are multiple data acquisition objects running.
if (~isempty(daqfind))
Create the Analog Input Object
Before acquiring any data, we must create an analog input object and specify the channels from which to acquire data.
When executing the following code, you may need to modify it to match your acquisition hardware.
% Create the analog input object and specify the
% channel that data should be collected from.
ai = analoginput('winsound');
addchannel(ai, 1);
Define Trigger Condition Information
We must initialize a MATLAB® structure with the information needed to determine when the custom trigger condition has been met. We look for
 - A signal
 - At least 2 seconds of quiet
% Signal is defined as greater than 0.15 volts.
extraData.signalVoltage = 0.15;
extraData.signalFound = false;
% Quiet is defined as less than 0.04 volts.
extraData.quietVoltage = 0.04;
extraData.secondsOfQuietNeeded = 2;
extraData.secondsOfQuietFound = 0;
extraData.quietFound = false;
We store this information in the UserData property so that it can be accessed and modified by the timer callback.
set(ai, 'UserData', extraData);
Configure the Timer Callback
We use the TimerFcn and TimerPeriod properties to call a MATLAB function at regular intervals while the acquisition is running. We use this timer callback function to examine the incoming data to see if the trigger condition has been met.
NOTE: The timer callback function is shown at the end of this example.
% Make timer period 1/10 of our quiet period.
timerPeriod = extraData.secondsOfQuietNeeded/10;
set(ai, 'TimerFcn', _USER_);
set(ai, 'TimerPeriod', timerPeriod);
Configure the Trigger Properties
We use a manual trigger and configure the object to acquire the data during the quiet period.
By setting the TriggerType property to'manual', data logging will not begin until the trigger function is executed. The timer callback will execute the trigger when the correct conditions have been met.
In addition, we set the TriggerDelay property to a negative value to indicate that we want to log the quiet period data that occurred before the trigger was executed.
set(ai, 'TriggerType','manual');
set(ai, 'TriggerDelay', -extraData.secondsOfQuietNeeded);
set(ai, 'TriggerDelayUnits','seconds');
Configure the Amount of Data to Acquire
We set the SamplesPerTrigger property to indicate the maximum amount of data that the acquisition should log. However, the timer callback will stop the acquisition sooner, if it detects a second signal after the quiet period.
sampleRate = get(ai, 'SampleRate');
set(ai, 'SamplesPerTrigger', 10 * extraData.secondsOfQuietNeeded * sampleRate);
Start Acquisition
Now, we start the acquisition. After calling the start function, the object will be running, but no data logging will occur until the trigger function is executed. As the timer callback executes and evaluates the data, messages will be displayed indicating what has been detected.
 % Wait for trigger to occur and the acquisition to end.
 % Set the timeout to a sufficiently large value.
 wait(ai, 60 * extraData.secondsOfQuietNeeded);
 % If the acquisition ended successfully, plot the available data.
 samplesAvailable = get(ai,'SamplesAvailable');
 [data, time] = getdata(ai, samplesAvailable);
 % If the wait timed out, we end up here.
 % Display a message and stop the acquisition.
 disp(sprintf('Could not find quiet period of %d seconds.',...
Warning: The number of samples requested is not available.
The number of samples returned will be reduced.
First signal found. Waiting for quiet period of 2 seconds.
Quiet period found. Logging started.
Clean Up
When finished, we delete the object and clear the variable from the workspace to free system resources.
clear ai;
The Timer Callback Function
We use the timer callback function to examine the incoming data to see if our trigger condition has been met. When our trigger condition has been met, the trigger function is called to start logging.
type TimerCallback;
% The Data Acquisition Toolbox calls the timer callback function with the
% object and event.
function TimerCallback(ai,event)
% First, we get the information needed to evaluate the trigger condition.
extraData = get(ai, 'UserData');
timerPeriod = get(ai,'TimerPeriod');
sampleRate = get(ai,'SampleRate');
% Then, we look at the data received during the last timer period.
sampleData = peekdata(ai, timerPeriod * sampleRate);
maxValue = max(sampleData);
minValue = min(sampleData);
% Next, we analyze the data received and look for our trigger condition.
% If we have not found the first signal, look for it.
if ( ~extraData.signalFound )
 if ( maxValue > extraData.signalVoltage || minValue < -extraData.signalVoltage )
 % The first signal has been found.
 extraData.signalFound = true;
 fprintf('First signal found. Waiting for quiet period of %d seconds.\n',...
% If a signal has been found, we look for the desired period of quiet.
elseif ( ~extraData.quietFound )
 if ( minValue > -extraData.quietVoltage && maxValue < extraData.quietVoltage )
 % Increment the seconds of quiet that we have seen.
 extraData.secondsOfQuietFound = extraData.secondsOfQuietFound + timerPeriod;
 if extraData.secondsOfQuietFound >= extraData.secondsOfQuietNeeded
 % When the desired quiet period is found, we execute the trigger.
 extraData.quietFound = true;
 disp('Quiet period found. Logging started.');
 % No longer quiet. Reset the seconds of quiet that we have seen.
 extraData.secondsOfQuietFound = 0;
% If the quiet period has been found, look for the second signal.
 if ( maxValue > extraData.signalVoltage || minValue < -extraData.signalVoltage )
 % When the second signal is found, we stop the acquisition.
 disp('Second signal found. Acquisition stopped.');
% Finally, we save the updated information to the UserData property so
% that it will be available for the next execution of the timer callback
% function.
set(ai, 'UserData', extraData);

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of microirrigation (microjet sprinkling and drip irrigation) and organic fertilization (compost prepared on the base of sewage sludge) on a seedling vigour of one-year and two-year old Scot pine seedlings (Pinus sylvestris L.), cultivated on a post-agricultural ground with the use of zoo-melioration in two different regions. Field experiments were carried out on an experimental field in Kruszyn Krajeński (loose sandy soil of quality class VI) near Bydgoszcz and in Lipnik near Stargard Szczeciński (sandy soil of quality class IVb). The first row factor was irrigation used in three treatments: without irrigation (control), drip irrigation, microjet sprinkling. The second row factor was fertilization, used in two variants: mineral fertilization (standard applied in forest nurseries), organic fertilization (compost). The irrigation significantly increased the height and the diameter of the Scot pine seedlings. There were no significant differences in the characters of the growth between the two irrigation systems. Fertilization of Scot pine seedlings with the compost increased significantly the height of seedlings. Interaction of irrigation with organic fertilization of Scot pine seedling height and diameter was noted. Pine seedlings grown on the plots fertilized with compost under irrigation conditions were characterized by increased height and diameter. Better effects were obtained in Lipnik than in Kruszyn Krajeński. Joint effect of organic fertilization and microjet sprinkling positively influenced the density and the species number of Oribatida in Kruszyn Krajeński. The obtained results indicated that the amelioration measures used can positively influence the growth of Scot pine seedlings on a post-agricultural ground.

What Does Duck and Weave Mean?
Duck and Weave Meaning
Definition: To move from side to side, bobbing up and down.
People often move this way when trying to navigate through a large crowd. This expression describes a type of motion.
Origin of Duck and Weave
The verb duck predates the animal duck, although the two are related. One meaning of duck means to dive. The animal is named for the diving motion it makes through the water, and how it bobs its head in and out of the water.
Another meaning of duck is avoid a blow by moving down quickly. This meaning of duck appears in the literal meaning of the expression duck and weave, which describes a motion common in boxing.
In the sport of boxing, the athletes will move their head up and down, and move their bodies from side to side, trying to avoid the other boxer's punches.
Nowadays, people still use this expression for boxing, but also for anything with a similar motion.
Examples of Duck and Weave
duck and weave boxing duck and weave Here is an example of a teacher using the expression in a math class.
Teacher: Okay, class is finished. Don't forget to turn in your homework. Hey, you, stop ducking and weaving through your classmates. I see you trying to escape through the crowd without giving me your homework.
Student: I'm sorry, but I forgot to do it. I thought you might not notice if I escaped the classroom before you saw me leave.
Teacher: Well, next time don't move in such an obvious way. Uh, I mean, next time just finish your homework.
what does ducked mean In this example, two friends are coming back home from a party.
Monica: I think I'm done going to parties that are at nightclubs.
Janice: How come? Didn't you have fun?
Monica: Yes, I enjoyed the music and seeing my friends, but the dance floor was too crowded. There was no room to move freely to dance. I felt like I was just ducking and weaving through the crowd all night.
More Examples
This excerpt is from an article that questions the safety of dog parks. It describes the movement of a family pet.
 - Kyle Hurt and his 6-year-old son, Mason, lounged on a bench watching their energetic boxer, Jersey, duck and weave around a feisty Australian shepherd in the Hound Hill dog park near Quebec and Lincoln streets. –Denver Post
The second excerpt shows a food critic describing his walk through a restaurant.
 - My guest and I duck and weave through the crowd as we follow the hostess to our table. The dining room is just as loud. It's an echo chamber of shouted conversation and the uniquely screechy mating calls of the tequila-infused. –OC Register
The phrase duck and weave comes from the sport of boxing and describes the motion the boxer makes to avoid blows.
People now use it to describe the same type of motion when used in other activities, such as walking through a crowd.


Cockatiel vs Cockatoo - How To Tell Them Apart & Key Differences in Appearance, Size & Behavior
cockatoo vs cockateil featured image
Cockatiels are among the most popular pet birds in the world and are relatively easy to breed. These adorable little birds are often mistaken for cockatoos by most people.
If you fall into this category of people, then this article should give you a second thought…
...and maybe even a handy trivia fact or two to impress your friends.
There is a difference between cockatoos and cockatiels with the easily spotted one being their size. Cockatiels are smaller and known as miniature cockatoos.
More on this in a bit...
I'll even get into more details on the size, appearance, life span and other aspects where there is a difference to make things crystal clear.
Cockatoo and Cockatiel Bio Datalarge white cockatoo
Like you might have guessed, cockatoos and cockatiels are all under the same classification. Just like with English and American budgerigars (parakeets).
Specifically, they are all birds in the Cacatuidae family, with cockatiels being the only birds in the Nymphicus genera. And 'tiels are also the smallest in the family which consists of 21 birds.
As stated earlier, the first difference you will spot between an adult cockatoo and a cockatiel is their size. It's no surprise since they are the smallest among cockatoos, with sizes ranging from 12-13 inches.
Cockatiels are like babies when you compare their size to that of full-grown cockatoos which is between 12-24 inches. At this measurement, a cockatiel is only about a quarter or half the size of cockatoos.
But in the case a younger cockatoo hasn't reached its full size, you can know which is which by assessing their appearance...
yellow cockatiel
First off, the feather colors of cockatoos are most times solid or plain, with only a few patches of other colors. Most times, the predominant colors are either white or black while you may also find a gray or pink color on rare occasions.
On the flip side, cockatiels are brightly coloured and have different shades.
However, wild cockatiels are usually gray with patches of white on their wings and green or yellow on their tails.
But cockatiels kept in captivity have a color mutation that is on a whole new level compared to that of cockatoos or wild cockatiels. Some of them are white face pied, cinnamon pearl, pearl pied, and white face gray.
Another difference in appearance between a cockatoo and a cockatiel is their physique:
Cockatiels have a much smaller beak than cockatoos which is quite logical since they are smaller.
But cockatiels have a longer tail-type which makes up about half of their body, while the cockatoos have a shorter tail.
Cockatoos live longer than cockatiels in the wild or captivity. Some species, like the sulphur-crested cockatoo, can live longer than 100 years.
However, wild cockatiels only live for up to 25 years, and those in captivity live for an average of 14 years.
But they can reach 20+ years if they are well taken care of by their owners, as explained here.
large white cockatoo sitting on floor
In terms of personality, cockatoos are far more social than cockatiels and are more affectionate to their owners.
Unlike cockatiels, a cockatoo will need much more time out its cage with its owner and might become depressed if left alone for too long. But cockatiels, though good with people, can cope with being left alone.
Also, cockatoos are very noisy compared to cockatiels. I'll talk about that in detail in the next section.
In general, cockatiels are much calmer birds than cockatoos.
Vocal Ability
As said earlier, cockatoos are louder birds and also mimic their owner's words better than cockatiels.
'Tiels have a softer voice and make more bird sounds rather than talk. Even when they talk, their words are harder to understand than that of cockatoos.
On the other hand, cockatiels are more likely to imitate household sounds than cockatoos.
Of all the 21 species of cockatoos, cockatiels are easily the most popular pet bird.
Thanks to their small size and calm personality, they are easier to care which makes a great choice for both the old and young bird owner.
On the other hand, larger cockatoos are less common with the sulphur-crested cockatoo and umbrella cockatoo being the most popular among them.
two cockatiels perched together
Without a doubt, cockatoos are way more expensive than cockatiels.
'Toos are also more expensive to care for and shelter for than cockatiels because they are larger birds.
A cockatoo can cost from $1,000 to $25,000 depending on the species. Perhaps another reason why they are less popular as pet birds since they can cost a fortune. Plus, their cages need to be larger too.
On the other hand, cockatiels cost a more economical price of $80 to $250 compared to cockatoos. Their cages are smaller and more affordable as well.
Can A Cockatoo And A Cockatiel Be Kept Together?
Keeping a cockatoo and a cockatiel together isn't the best of ideas in my opinion.
Yes, they can stay together as long as the cockatoo isn't aggressive to the smaller bird.
But cockatoos can be territorial, which means that sooner or later, they might harm the cockatiel or even kill the other bird.
Wrapping Up
Hopefully you learned something new today about these wonderful parrots, whether their telltale appearance differences or drastically different prices.

 - My mom and sister had an umbrella cockatoo (my sister still owns the bird, but she's moved out) and the hand raised him. He attacked my face when I was about 6, and he did it while I was sleeping on the couch (I think my room was being renovated at the time), and from what I heard from my mom, he also attacked my baby nephew. I still have a scar on my face to remind me why not to get a larger bird, especially unpredictable ones. My experience with 'tiels is very limited because the last one my parents owned was when I was maybe 4. I don't really have many memories of her, I just remember that she existed, and I'm getting my own 'tiel here soon

UAE students film female teacher during class, post videos on Internet
Female students of a government school in Ras Al Khaimah filmed their female teacher during the class and posted the video on the Internet.
The management of the school seized a smartphone and an iPod from the students for filming and posting the videos on Snapchat, Arabic daily Al Khaleej reported on Monday.
The school management conducted a search operation among students and seized devices after a teacher filed a complaint that a couple of students had filmed her during the class and was forwarding the clip to other students.
The campaign led to seizure of a smartphone and an iPod, which contained videos of teachers and students while the class was on.
The teacher filed a police complaint against the students. A police officer visited the school and gave a lecture about internet crimes and the dangers of misusing smartphones.

Definicja combination by order
Type of order combination
If you combine several orders by order, all the operations from the original orders are copied to the combined order.
You have four production orders (original orders) for paper of identical quality and size.
This paper is manufactered in three operations:
Operation 1: Produce paper
Operation 2: Cut paper
Operation 3: Pack paper
Because all three operations for manufacturing the paper must be carried out for the production orders, you can combine these by order.
The combined order then covers all three operations.

This article was previously published under Q294901
When you print a TEXTAREA element that is larger than a single page, Internet Explorer only prints the first page of the TEXTAREA.
To work around this problem, hide the TEXTAREA element, and copy the contents of each TEXTAREA in a newly created DIV element during the onBeforePrint event. After you print the page, remove the DIV element during the onAfterPrint event, and the TEXTAREA becomes visible again. See the "More Information" section for a code sample that demonstrates this workaround.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
The following code illustrates how to reproduce this problem:
In the actual results, only one page appears in preview, and only one page is printed. In the expected results, several pages should appear in preview, and all of the pages should print.
WorkaroundThe following code illustrates how to hide the TEXTAREA elements and replace them with DIV elements that contain the contents of the initial TEXTAREA elements:

How Member Discovery Works
Pivotal GemFire provides various options for member discovery within a distributed system and between clients and servers.
Peer Member Discovery
Peer member discovery is what defines a distributed system. All applications and cache servers that use the same settings for peer discovery are members of the same distributed system. Each system member has a unique identity and knows the identities of the other members. A member can belong to only one distributed system at a time. Once they have found each other, members communicate directly, independent of the discovery mechanism. In peer discovery, GemFire uses a membership coordinator to manage member joins and departures.
Members discover each other using one or more locators. A locator provides both discovery and load balancing services. Peer locators manage a dynamic list of distributed system members. New members connect to one of the locators to retrieve the member list, which it uses to join the system.
Note: Multiple locators ensure the most stable start up and availability for your distributed system.
Standalone Member
The standalone member has no peers, does no peer discovery, and so does not use locators. It creates a distributed system connection only to access the GemFire caching features. Running standalone has a faster startup and is appropriate for any member that is isolated from other applications. The primary use case is for client applications. Standalone members can be accessed and monitored if you enable the member to become a JMX Manager.
Client Discovery of Servers
Locators provide clients with dynamic server discovery and server load balancing. Clients are configured with locator information for the server system, and turn to the locators for directions to the servers to use. The servers can come and go and their capacity to service new client connections can vary. The locators continuously monitor server availability and server load information, providing clients with connection information for the server with the least load at any time.
Note: For performance and cache coherency, clients must run as standalone members or in different distributed systems than their servers.
You do not need to run any special processes to use locators for server discovery. The locators that provide peer discovery in the server system also provide server discovery for clients to the server system. This is the standard configuration.
Multi-site Discovery
In a multi-site (WAN) configuration, a GemFire cluster uses locators to discover remote GemFire clusters as well as to discover local GemFire members. Each locator in a WAN configuration uniquely identifies the local cluster to which it belongs, and it can also identify locators in remote GemFire clusters to which it will connect for WAN distribution.
When a locator starts up, it contacts each remote locator to exchange information about the available locators and gateway receiver configurations in the remote cluster. In addition to sharing information about its own cluster, a locator shares information that it has obtained from all other connected clusters. Each time a new locator starts up or an existing locator shuts down, the changed information is broadcast to other connected GemFire clusters across the WAN.
See Discovery for Multi-Site Systems for more information.

Legal basis for conducting the survey in the area of crop production statistics is Law on Official Statistics and Official Statistical System of Montenegro (Official Gazette of Montenegro 18/12).
Purpose of survey
The purpose of survey in the area of crop production statistics is to collect, process, and disseminate data on the size of land resources by: land use categories; number of fruit trees and vine plants; land under certain crops; quantity of expected and realised yields; and agricultural product processing.
The data on business entities are collected by using the reporting method on the basis of accounting records and other types of records. The data on family agricultural holdings are collected by using the estimation method by the side of statistical estimators. The statistical estimators perform estimations on the basis of observing phenomena and by the help of well-known facts (the Cadastre data by utilised land categories, estimation from previous years, information collected from agricultural producers and experts, and their personal observations).
There are covered business entities classified by the activity classification in sector A–Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (agricultural enterprises and agricultural cooperatives), and area of estimation for family agricultural holdings.
Obligation to protect individual data
Statistical confidentiality is guaranteed. Results obtained through surveys are only used for statistical purposes, and they are published at the aggregated level.
For more details on published data, methodology, and releases please see the sections below.


What Does Kick the Bucket Mean?
Kick the Bucket Meaning
Definition: An informal and sometimes disrespectful way to say someone has died.
This idiom is usually used to talk about celebrities or casual acquaintances, rather than close family or friends. It would be quite rude and cavalier to say that your father, for instance, has kicked the bucket.
You may, however, say in an offhand way, "Oh Johnny? Yeah, he kicked the bucket years ago," about a schoolmate you hadn't spoken to in a long while and perhaps didn't like.
Origin of Kick the Bucket
what is the meaning of kick the bucketThis phrase likely refers to the act of kicking the bucket out from under a victim of hanging, breaking their neck and causing almost instant death. This act and the subsequent expression would have originated in the late middle ages of England.
An alternative explanation is that when the deceased were laid out, also in the Middle Ages, visitors were able to sprinkle the body with Holy Water from a bucket.
A third theory refers to the use of bucket in a different sense. In the 16th century, bucket had an additional meaning a beam or yoke used to hang or carry items.
This bucket may refer to the beam on which pigs were slaughtered. As the animals were suspended, they began to struggle and hence "kick the bucket."
In 1785, Francis Grose defined the phrase in his Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, showing that the phrase always had informal connotations:
 - "To kick the bucket, to die."
Examples of Kick the Bucket
what does the phrase kick the bucket meanIn the modern day, this is a casual way to say an acquaintance, or perhaps someone not held in high regard, has passed away. For example, one could say, "Didn't you hear? He kicked the bucket – had a heart attack, I think."
It can also be used with animals, as in "All my fish kicked the bucket while I was away on vacation."
More Examples
 - "Another famous George kicked the bucket on this day when former Notre Dame legend George Gipp died in 1920 at the age of 25." –Times Free Press
 - "Indeed, I remember being obsessed with [personnel declines] long ago; tinkering and reshaping some for yearsuntil the subject kicked the bucket and I added a few lines of reaction and a cause of death." –Vanity Fair
When speaking about death in an informal manner, it is common to say that someone has kicked the bucket, rather than died or passed away.

Manually placing text characters
Hi, I would like to create different parts of words separately so as to give them different colours, and then place them together so that they look natural. Unfortunately, when I try this, things are a little off.
local fontSize = 16
local abcd = display.newText{text = "abcd", fontSize = fontSize}
abcd.x, abcd.y = display.screenOriginX + abcd.width, display.screenOriginY + abcd.height
local a = display.newText{text = "a", fontSize = fontSize}
a.x, a.y = abcd.x - abcd.width*0.5 + a.width*0.5, abcd.y + abcd.height*0.7
local bcd = display.newText{text = "bcd", fontSize = fontSize}
bcd.x, bcd.y = a.x + a.width*0.5 + bcd.width*0.5, a.y
As you can see, there is a couple of extra pixels between the bottom a and the red bcd.
Could anyone please explain what's going on, or suggest a solution?
Your code is hard to read. As I can see you are trying to find the X position based on the width of "a", "bcd" or "abcd". But the width is always different, see width prints in my example.
So it's better to use one standard number, like the height, because it's the same. See height prints in my example.
Also try to make your code clean and easy to read otherwise you will be making mistakes that are hard to find.
I'm not sure if my example is the best, but this worked for me. Just play with the numbers and use prints to see output of the values.
local left = display.screenOriginX + 100
local top = display.screenOriginY + 100
local font = "Arial"
local fontSize = 60
local abcd = display.newText("abcd", left, top, font, fontSize )
local a = display.newText("a", 0, 0, font, fontSize)
 a.x = abcd.x - (abcd.height * 0.7)
 a.y = abcd.y + (abcd.height * 0.7)
local bcd = display.newText("bcd", 0, 0, font, fontSize)
 bcd.x = abcd.x + (abcd.height * 0.25)
 bcd.y = abcd.y + (abcd.height * 0.7)
print("abcd.width", abcd.width)
print("a.width", a.width)
print("bcd.width", bcd.width)
print("abcd.height", abcd.height)
print("a.height", a.height)
print("bcd.height", bcd.height)
Using a fixed width font will also make it easier. That is what I use for my word search app. There are plenty to choose from:

Thanks for the replies. Sorry about the sloppy code, my brain was running out of steam when I posted and I wasn't thinking at my best (which isn't great at the best of times…).
I'm not sure I understand the problem with positioning things by width. If I place one object on top of another, and then move it left or right by half of each of their widths, they should be flush. I've done this lots of times with other display objects without problem.
I've tried it with a fixed-width font and it's the same problem.
Some investigation seems to suggest the issue only occurs when the first part of "conjoined" text objects is made from a single character:
local left = display.screenOriginX
local top = display.screenOriginY
local fontSize = 16
local function make(firstString, secondString, y)
 local whole = display.newText{text = firstString..secondString, y = y, fontSize = fontSize}; whole:setFillColor(1,0,0)
 local firstPart = display.newText{text = firstString, fontSize = fontSize}
 local secondPart = display.newText{text = secondString, fontSize = fontSize}
 whole.x = left + whole.width/2
 firstPart.x = left + firstPart.width/2
 secondPart.x = firstPart.x + firstPart.width/2 + secondPart.width/2
 firstPart.y = whole.y + whole.height*0.7
 secondPart.y = firstPart.y
 local combinedWidth = firstPart.width + secondPart.width
 print(whole.width, combinedWidth)
make("a", "b", top + fontSize/2)
make("a", "bb", top + 50)
make("aa", "b", top + 100)
make("aa", "bb", top + 150)
A quick test suggests I can resolve this by checking that the first part of a conjoined pair is a single character, and if it is, place the second part as normal, but move it back by an amount equal to half the difference between the width of the whole and the sum of the widths of the two parts. Sorry if that's confusing. Hopefully you can figure out what I mean.
I'll let you know how it goes.
I jumped the gun when I concluded that the problem only arises when the first part is a single character. Moreover, the particular letters involved make a difference. For example:
make("ab", "b", top + fontSize/2) -- fine
make("fb", "b", top + 50) -- not fine
I'll keep at it and see if I can make any sense of it, but most likely it's down to really nitty-gritty source code stuff that is way beyond me.
I don't think that you can accomplish what you are trying to accomplish via display.newText API. You'll need to use bitmap fonts.
Yeah, I was just looking into ponyFont as you said that. :slight_smile:

What is the difference between an "involuted" and an "idempotent" matrix?
I believe that they both have to do with inverse, perhaps "self inverse" matrices.
Or do they happen to refer to the same thing?

A matrix $A$ is an involution if it is its own inverse, ie if
$$A^2 = I$$
A matrix $B$ is idempotent if it squares to itself, ie if
$$B^2 = B$$
The only invertible idempotent matrix is the identity matrix, which can be seen by multiplying both sides of the above equation by $B^{-1}$. An idempotent matrix is also known as a projection.
Involutions and idempotents are related to one another. If $A$ is idempotent then $I - 2A$ is an involution, and if $B$ is an involution, then $\tfrac{1}{2}(I\pm B)$ is idempotent.
Finally, if $B$ is idempotent then $I-B$ is also idempotent and if $A$ is an involution then $-A$ is also an involution.

Gas Faucets Frequently Asked Questions
Jul. 12, 2021
Gas taps are the backbone of most laboratories and play a central role in daily operations. But even though they are so common in these environments, it is not common knowledge how they work, what they are specifically used for, and what gases they are suitable for.
Therefore, the laboratory valve supplier will answer all your gas tap questions in one helpful post.
What is a gas tap?
A laboratory gas tap or laboratory gas valve is a device that controls the flow of gas from its source of supply through a pipe.
They are essential devices in a range of chemical and physical exercises, from the basic level all the way up to commercial, industrial or research laboratories. They are usually located on a laboratory bench where they can be easily accessed by students, scientists or laboratory technicians.
Laboratory Gas Valve
How do gas taps work?
Gas faucets work very similar to faucets in that the valve blocks the free flow of gas until the faucet is turned and the valve is opened. Different faucets have different types of valves. An example of this is the push-turn valve or needle valve used in a drop lever faucet.
Gas Faucet Applications
Gas valves are used to control the flow of various gases in laboratory applications. The most common are natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas. Gas taps suitable for most pressurized gases in this environment are available.
Water Valve
Water Valve
Why are gas faucets yellow?
Gas tap controls are often bright yellow in school laboratory environments where they need to be easily visible and error free for safety reasons. The yellow pull-down lever, used for a series of gas faucets, allows teachers to quickly scan the room and determine if the faucet is turned on.
However, in commercial and scientific laboratories, the handwheels on laboratory gas taps can be color coded according to the standards set out in DIN EN 13792 for easy reference
What are gas taps used for?
Gas taps are used in a variety of laboratory environments, including school laboratories, scientific research laboratories, and commercial and industrial laboratories.

EmberCommandEntry Struct Reference
Command entry for a command table.
_TAG_
Data Fields
const char * name
CommandAction action
const char * argumentTypes
const char * description
const char *const * argumentDescriptions
Command entry for a command table.
Field Documentation
◆ action
CommandAction EmberCommandEntry::action
A reference to a function in the application that implements the command. If this entry refers to a nested command, then action field has to be set to NULL.
◆ argumentDescriptions
const char* const* EmberCommandEntry::argumentDescriptions
An array of strings, with a NULL terminator, indicating what each argument is.
◆ argumentTypes
const char* EmberCommandEntry::argumentTypes
In case of normal (non-nested) commands, argumentTypes is a string that specifies the number and types of arguments the command accepts. The argument specifiers are:
 - u: one-byte unsigned integer.
 - v: two-byte unsigned integer
 - w: four-byte unsigned integer
 - s: one-byte signed integer
 - r: two-byte signed integer
 - q: four-byte signed integer
 - b: string. The argument can be entered in ascii by using quotes, for example: "foo". Or it may be entered in hex by using curly braces, for example: { 08 A1 f2 }. There must be an even number of hex digits, and spaces are ignored.
 - *: zero or more of the previous type. If used, this must be the last specifier.
 -?: Unknown number of arguments. If used this must be the only character. This means, that command interpreter will not perform any validation of arguments, and will call the action directly, trusting it that it will handle with whatever arguments are passed in.
 -!: Optional argument delimiter. If the command input has sufficient arguments such that the parser ends on a! symbol, then the command will be considered valid, even if it does not necessarily process the entire argumentTypes string. If there are additional arguments beyond a!, but still fewer arguments than the next either the next! or the end of the string, then the command will be considered invalid. Note that this leaves the called CommandAction function to actually validate what number of optional arguments it actually got. Example: Given a argumentTypes String: uu!vv!u!vv The following inputs type orders are valid: uu, uuvv, uuvvu, uuvvuvv The following are invalid: u, uuv, uuvvuv, uuvvuvvv
Integer arguments can be either decimal or hexidecimal. A 0x prefix indicates a hexidecimal integer. Example: 0x3ed.
In case of a nested command (action is NULL), then this field contains a pointer to the nested EmberCommandEntry array.
◆ description
const char* EmberCommandEntry::description
A description of the command.
◆ name
const char* EmberCommandEntry::name
Use letters, digits, and underscores, '_', for the command name. Command names are case-sensitive.

Here you can find ml to grams buttermilk.
No matter if you have been looking for ml in grams buttermilk or ml in g buttermilk, this is the right page for you.
The result of the conversion depends on the exact kind of buttermilk under consideration.
The answer to the question x ml buttermilk is how many grams also varies with the pressure and the temperature.
Read on below to understand everything about milliliters of buttermilk to grams.
Convert mL to Grams Buttermilk
To convert ml to grams buttermilk, besides the volume we have to know the buttermilk's density ρ in g/cm3 or in any other unit.
Here we assume the density to be 1.04 g/cm3, which is the average value for buttermilk.
So, the conversion ml to grams buttermilk is:
- 1 milliliter to grams buttermilk = 1.04 g
- 2 milliliters to grams buttermilk = 2.08 g
- 3 milliliters to grams buttermilk = 3.12 g
- 10 ml to gram buttermilk = 10.4 g
- 50 ml to gram buttermilk = 52 g
- 100 ml to grams buttermilk = 104 g
- 200 ml to grams buttermilk = 208 g
But what about other quantities of buttermilk?
A few lines further up you can calculate the mass equivalent of ml of buttermilk for any volume by using our converter which changes ml to g for buttermilk with a ρ of 1.04 g/ml.
If you have buttermilk with a different density, then simply change the value for ρ accordingly.
Buttermilk mL to Grams
As said before, here we have calculated ml in grams buttermilk using the average density of 1.04 g/cm3 which is equal to 1.04 g/ml.
Make sure to understand that the values above are averages for buttermilk.
If you think our approximation is not precise enough, try to figure out the density of your buttermilk using a search engine if you can't find the information on the packaging.
Depending on the quality or the kind of your buttermilk, as well as other factors explained on our homepage, there can be more or less grams in ml buttermilk.
We have explained all this in detail in our article ml to grams, where you can also find additional information related to milliliter to gram buttermilk such as mass, volume, liter and kilogram.
Besides buttermilk ml to grams, similar conversions on this website include:
This concludes our conversion ml to grams buttermilk.
We hope you like our article and hit the sharing buttons for buttermilk ml to g.

The spindle is a very important part of the CNC machine, the quality and speed of the spindle will affect the cutting effect. When we buy machines, we often face the problem of not knowing whether to choose an air-cooled spindle or a water-cooled spindle. Let's discuss the difference between the two spindles below.
1. As the name suggests, the water-cooled spindle motor uses water circulation to cool the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the spindle. This method will work well because the temperature after circulation will not exceed 40 degrees. The air-cooled spindle motor uses a fan to dissipate heat, and its effect is definitely not as good as water cooling.
2. Noise. Water-cooled spindle motors are basically silent, but air-cooled spindle motors are loud.
3. In terms of service life. Because the water-cooled spindle motor needs to pay attention to maintenance, change the water frequently or use an industrial water cooler, its service life is much longer than that of the air-cooled spindle motor.
4. Accuracy. The axial and radial runout of the water-cooled spindle motor is basically below 0.003 mm, which is far behind the air-cooled spindle motor (made in China)!
5. Ease of use. Since the water-cooled spindle needs to be connected to a water pump, a bucket is needed to hold water, and a water pipe needs to be connected. Especially in the cold winter in the north, it is easier to freeze, and some customers may find it more troublesome; but the air-cooled spindle will not be so many usage issues.

This paper proposes a scalable design for next-generation optical cross-connects (OXCs). We present a novel strategy for dimensioning the switching capability as a long term planning. Switching fabrics in OXCs have to be expanded according to traffic growth, which may incur a scalability problem due to the exponentially increasing cost in manufacturing and maintenance. The proposed scheme expands the switching capacity of OXCs with wavebandand fiber-switching components (or, equivalently, expands the network capacity with wavebandand fiber-switching tiers). To minimize the number of extra fibers for wavebandand fiber-switching tiers required to satisfy a given traffic matrix, we formulate the problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) with tunnel allocation (RWAT) into a constraint programming (CP) process. The CP is simplified as two integer linear programming (ILP) processes that are performed sequentially. Experiments are conducted on four examples to compare the throughput and the number of switching points when different switching architectures are adopted under different traffic increase. The benefits of our approach are demonstrated. Finally, we conclude that the proposed optimization scheme can dimension the networks with expandability and scalability to the growing traffic demand.


Ad Widgets
Ad Widgets are probably the easiest way to get your ads onto your pages. Ad Widgets function like other widgets in WordPress and can be placed in any widgetized area of your site - most commonly this is your sidebar or footer areas, but this is going vary wildly with the theme you've chosen.
AdSanity has three different Ad Widgets you can use to place your ads:
The Ad Group Widget
The Random Ad Widget
The Single Ad Widget
Ad Group Widget
The Ad Group widget allows you to rotate through many ads an Ad Group into a widgetized area of your site.
There are a few configurations available to the Ad Group widget. You can title the ad group, select the group that you'd like to be displayed in the widget, choose how many ads from the group are to be displayed at the same time, and set the number of columns that you'd like the group to be displayed in (fig. 1).
fig. 1 - The ad group widget
This allows you to present your ad groups in a variety of ways. Here is an example of displaying four ads from a group in one column (fig. 2).
fig. 2 - The widget displayed in the sidebar
Note: your theme may require you to specify a title for your widget areas in order for the ads to display properly. If you're running into an ad display issue with a widget, try setting a title for the widget if you don't already have one set.
Random Ad Widget
The Random Ad widget allows you to select an ad group and the widget will display a random member of that ad group with each page refresh.
You can set the title for the Random Ad Widget and choose the ad group to display (fig. 1).
fig. 1 - The Random Ad Widget
Single Ad Widget
The Single Ad Widget allows you to place a single ad in a widgetized area of your site.
The widget allows you to set a title for the widget and choose the ad you want to display (fig. 1).

An iterative finite difference beam propagation method based on the Crank-Nicholson scheme is presented to simulate continuous wave (CW) second-order nonlinear effects in optical waveguides with the depletion of the pump wave taken into account. This method is an extension of the linear finite-difference beam propagation method and preserves the same order of accuracy. Comparisons with the previously published explicit finite difference beam propagation method and the rectangular approximation method are presented. Quasi-phase matched difference frequency generation in AlGaAs and quasi-phase-matched second harmonic generation in LiNbO3 are considered in the evaluation, showing that one iteration for the IFD-BPM is sufficient for the simulation with good accuracy and without increasing much computation time.

Enhancing the access and use of forest resources data in Minnesota.
Using the Forest Information Needs Assessment report as a guide, detailed metadata records have been developed for many of the key forest information databases identified by the workshop participants. These metadata records were created using the Minnesota Geographic Metadata Guidelines, developed by the GIS Standards Committee of the Minnesota Governor's Council on Geographic Information. Some of these metadata records have an online linkage to the database, allowing the data user to automatically retrieve the data free of charge. This initial inventory of metadata records is the result of a continuing effort to document forest information databases throughout the State of Minnesota.
The Natural Physical category consists of the following four themes:

For Carter the journey started with math, he was a whiz in high school and even wrote his own program for solitaire. He went to Yale for his undergrad and worked for several years before being struck by the immediacy and enormity of the climate crisis and went back to school for his masters. He knew this problem could not be solved in his lifetime, and after grieving reevaluated everything that he thought was important.


Fruit Carving Exhibit
Many believe that fruit carving originated in China during the Tang Dynasty, which lasted from AD 618-906. Fruit carving in China usually features legendary creatures and animals and is used to tell stories. Not only is fruit carving used in cultural and traditional ceremonies, but also ordinary households are known for decorating plates with fruit carvings when they have guests over.
Artist Shirley Chiu is a self-taught creative carving artist, and her work has accumulated to over 200 distinct art pieces, including fruit carving, vegetable carving and soap carving. She has been invited to present her artwork at various social and community events throughout the Phoenix area.

A median barrier is a concrete curb or island that is located on the centerline of a street and continues through the street's intersection with a given cross street.
Strategically located median barriers reduce traffic volumes on a street. Median barriers prevent left turns from the through street and left turns and through moves from the cross street.
Median barriers are very effective in reducing volumes.
Separate opposing vehicle travel lane
Prevent vehicle from passing other vehicles
Depending on location, may improve safety through access limitations
Can be designed with breaks in the landscaping to provide pedestrian refuge
May visually enhance the street through landscaping
|May require major parking removal
Prohibit or limit access and movement (from driveways)
May have a negative impact on emergency services because of access limitations
Median barriers cost approximately $10,000-20,000.
Medians may not significantly affect curbside parking opportunities, but sometimes parking would be prohibited to accommodate the remaining turning movements or to make room for a wider median barrier.
Transit Service Impacts:
Median barriers would prevent transit service on the blocked street.
Emergency Services Impacts:
The turn restrictions imposed by a median barrier would apply to emergency vehicles and are not typically used to block a primary fire response route.
Median barriers apply to all drivers, including local residents. Very special care must be taken to consider the availability, capacity, and appropriateness of the alternative routes drivers might use if a semi-diverter is constructed.
Provision should be made to make median barriers passable for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Examples In Portland:
SE 20th at Harrison Street. SE 20th at Ankeny Street.

A: I had a user the other day who insisted his Deleted Items folder was empty, but his mailbox was still pushing against the company's mailbox size limit policy. I've seen users accidentally move content to unexpected places without realizing it. For example, in Outlook it's possible to drag and drop a mail folder into the Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, or even Notes folders. Or the content could still be in Deleted Items, even if it doesn't appear to be so to the user.
The person who assured me his Deleted Items folder was empty was actually selecting the Deleted Items folder in the Navigation pane, highlighting the content in the main pane, then deleting the highlighted content. This method works, although it's somewhat tedious, but it misses content that might have been deleted from within subfolders. When you delete a folder, its contents are moved to Deleted Items as a subfolder. The contents of the subfolder aren't visible in Deleted Items unless the subfolder is selected in the Navigation pane. Also, when you select Deleted Items, it doesn't show the folders in the main pane; you have to click the little plus symbol (+) or arrow beside Deleted Items in the Navigation pane for those folders to appear, as Figure 1 shows.
To delete these folders, you have to either do so one at a time, manually (not a good idea), or use the more logical Empty "Deleted Items" Folder or Empty Folder option from the right-click menu on the Deleted Items folder. You can also use the Empty Folder button on the Folder tab of the Ribbon in Outlook 2010 or go to Tools, Empty "Deleted Items" Folder in Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2003.
In addition, Outlook makes it easy to view the size of folders within the hierarchy so that you can identify where the greatest mailbox volume resides. You can right-click the account in the Navigation pane and select Data File Properties (or Properties) from the bottom of the context menu. On the General tab of the Properties dialogue box, click the button for Folder Size to open a window listing individual mailbox folder sizes in KB. Figure 2 shows an example with a small amount residing in Deleted Items. Unfortunately, this window isn't resizable, so if you have many folders, you'll have to scroll through them to see the full list.
Figure 2: Viewing actual folder sizes in Microsoft Outlook
Although the user I was working with claimed the Deleted Items folder was emptied, I was able to use this method to find a large amount of content still in that folder. Exchange administrators can also access this information without using the Outlook client, of course, by using Exchange Management Shell (EMS) and the Get-MailboxFolderStatistics cmdlet.

NYU's summer school began in 1895, when seven members of the faculty, with the approval of the Chancellor, offered courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, experimental psychology, and the theory and practice of teaching. The faculty members received no additional salary, only the tuition fees collected from students. The University Council officially took control in 1899 and the popularity of the program quickly grew to over 500 students, both men and women, by 1907. The program mostly attracted teachers who were interested in pedagogical courses.

Break axis in Makie
Hi, I am pretty new to Makie, but I am loving the package so far! Is it possible to have a broken y-axis in Makie? E.g. I want to plot:
xs1 = randn(10)
ys1 = randn(10)
xs2 = randn(10).+ 3
ys2 = randn(10).+ 10
fig = Figure()
ax = fig[1,1] = Axis(fig)
scatter!(ax, xs1, ys1)
scatter!(ax, xs2, ys2)
without resorting to a log scale and have the clusters on the same height. Any help would be much appreciated!
So I asked about this on the Makie Slack channel and apparently this is not implemented yet. However, Julius Krumbiegel suggested I try the following to manually implement what I want:
possible manually, yes, but there's no premade function for it. you would currently have to make two axes, plot the same thing in them, set limits how you want, hide the adjacent spines so it looks like one axis, then the only "tricky" thing is adding diagonal lines at the spine ends. this is best made dependent on the axis position, so that it stays correct
you can grab the ends of the spines from the lineaxis objects in ax.elements, they have an attribute called endpoints. grab the correct points and calculate your diagonals in figure space, then plot the lines into figure.scene
For anyone else who needs to implement this manually, here is the code. This does everything except add that "broken" y axis. I could not manage to implement those diagonal "broken axis indicator" lines. However, if you are in a pinch for time, just add them manually using Inkscape :slight_smile:
If anyone figures out how to add them, please reply to this topic.
using CairoMakie
xs1 = randn(10)
ys1 = randn(10)
xs2 = randn(10).+ 3
ys2 = randn(10).+ 10
fig = Figure();
ax1 = fig[1,1] = Axis(fig)
scatter!(ax1, [xs1; xs2], [ys1; ys2])
hideydecorations!(ax1, ticklabels=false)
ylims!(ax1, 8.5, 11.0)
ax1.yticks = 9:1:11
ax2 = fig[2,1] = Axis(fig)
scatter!(ax2, [xs1; xs2], [ys1; ys2])
hideydecorations!(ax2, ticklabels=false)
hidexdecorations!(ax2, ticklabels=false)
ylims!(ax2, 0.0, 2.5)
ax2.yticks = 0:1:2
rowsize!(fig.layout, 2, Relative(2/3))
rowgap!(fig.layout, 1, Relative(0.0))
Label(fig[:, 0], "Manually broken y", rotation=pi/2)
_USER_, you could draw a horizontal grey line where the axis is broken, with an annotation of the gap used. E.g., y = (2.5, 8.5)
it looks like your y-scale changes, say 0-1 versus 10-11, is that desired?
Yes, so the type of figure I was going for looks like this:
Do you mean a horizontal line spanning the entire figure? If so, yes that would be a programmatic way of indicating where it breaks, however it would not look as pretty as e.g. the matplotlib version (see here)
I mean that the distance between 0 and 1 and between 10 and 11, along the y axis, does not look the same. The distance between 0 and 1 looks bigger. The image you showed with the squiggly broken axis has the same metric near 0 and near 1. Some problem when creating your figure maybe?
Ah, now I see what you mean. Nope, that is not desired, but I suppose it could be fixed by just setting the y limits and the y ticks of both figures?
You could fix the relative scaling by giving both rows an Auto(ratio) size where ratio is the relative length of each axis. For the diagonal lines, you just need to do linesegments!(fig.scene, diagonal_points). The points you have to calculate given the endpoints of the axis lines, an angle that you like, and a line length that you like. You should calculate the points using lift(endpoints) do points... etc so that they update whenever the axis shifts.
Here's a possible implementation, although it uses some rather internal things:
f = Figure()
lims = Node(((0.0, 1.3), (7.6, 10.0)))
g = f[1, 1] = GridLayout()
ax_top = Axis(f[1, 1][1, 1], title = "Broken Y-Axis")
ax_bottom = Axis(f[1, 1][2, 1])
on(lims) do (bottom, top)
 ylims!(ax_bottom, bottom)
 ylims!(ax_top, top)
 rowsize!(g, 1, Auto(top[2] - top[1]))
 rowsize!(g, 2, Auto(bottom[2] - bottom[1]))
hidexdecorations!(ax_top, grid = false)
ax_top.bottomspinevisible = false
ax_bottom.topspinevisible = false
linkxaxes!(ax_top, ax_bottom)
rowgap!(g, 10)
angle = pi/8
linelength = 30
segments = lift(
 ) do p1, p2, p3, p4
 ps = Point2f0[p1, p2, p3, p4]
 map(ps) do p
 a = p + Point2f0(cos(angle), sin(angle)) * 0.5 * linelength
 b = p - Point2f0(cos(angle), sin(angle)) * 0.5 * linelength
 (a, b)
linesegments!(f.scene, segments)
scatter!(ax_top, randn(100, 2).* 0.5.+ 9)
scatter!(ax_bottom, randn(100, 2).* 0.2.+ 0.25)
 1. rescale data such that they fit into the same coordinate system.
 2. plot as you would
 3. re-annotate y-ticks
In your example, you have two chunks of data, share same x, but different ys, one from [0, 0.25], and one from [0.75, 1]. To set up common coordinate system, from [0, 0.5], where [0, 0.25] map to [0, 0.25], and [0.75, 1] map to [0.25, 0.5], this should be one simple broadcast. If you need log-scale, just do it.
i dont really know how to do the "//", but given it serves as attention grabbing marker, you could just plot some shaded region, depends on the determined coordinate system


Take the 2-minute tour ×
I'm trying to build a high-performance distributed system with Akka and Scala.
If a message requesting an expensive (and side-effect-free) computation arrives, and the exact same computation has already been requested before, I want to avoid computing the result again. If the computation requested previously has already completed and the result is available, I can cache it and re-use it.
However, the time window in which duplicate computation can be requested may be arbitrarily small. e.g. I could get a thousand or a million messages requesting the same expensive computation at the same instant for all practical purposes.
There is a commercial product called Gigaspaces that supposedly handles this situation.
However there seems to be no framework support for dealing with duplicate work requests in Akka at the moment. Given that the Akka framework already has access to all the messages being routed through the framework, it seems that a framework solution could make a lot of sense here.
Here is what I am proposing for the Akka framework to do: 1. Create a trait to indicate a type of messages (say, "ExpensiveComputation" or something similar) that are to be subject to the following caching approach. 2. Smartly (hashing etc.) identify identical messages received by (the same or different) actors within a user-configurable time window. Other options: select a maximum buffer size of memory to be used for this purpose, subject to (say LRU) replacement etc. Akka can also choose to cache only the results of messages that were expensive to process; the messages that took very little time to process can be re-processed again if needed; no need to waste precious buffer space caching them and their results. 3. When identical messages (received within that time window, possibly "at the same time instant") are identified, avoid unnecessary duplicate computations. The framework would do this automatically, and essentially, the duplicate messages would never get received by a new actor for processing; they would silently vanish and the result from processing it once (whether that computation was already done in the past, or ongoing right then) would get sent to all appropriate recipients (immediately if already available, and upon completion of the computation if not). Note that messages should be considered identical even if the "reply" fields are different, as long as the semantics/computations they represent are identical in every other respect. Also note that the computation should be purely functional, i.e. free from side-effects, for the caching optimization suggested to work and not change the program semantics at all.
If what I am suggesting is not compatible with the Akka way of doing things, and/or if you see some strong reasons why this is a very bad idea, please let me know.
Thanks, Is Awesome, Scala

What you are asking is not dependent on the Akka framework but rather it's how you architect your actors and messages. First ensuring that your messages are immutable and have an appropriately defined identities via the equals/hashCode methods. Case classes give you both for free however if you have actorRefs embedded in the message for reply purposes you will have to override the identity methods. The case class parameters should also have the same properties recursively (immutable and proper identity).
Secondly you need to figure out how the actors will handle storing and identifying current/past computations. The easiest is to uniquely map requests to actors. This way that actor and only that actor will ever process that specific request. This can be done easily given a fixed set of actors and the hashCode of the request. Bonus points if the actor set is supervised where the supervisor is managing the load balancing/mapping and replacing failed actors ( Akka makes this part easy ).
Finally the actor itself can maintain a response caching behavior based on the criteria you described. Everything is thread safe in the context of the actor so a LRU cache keyed by the request itself ( good identity properties remember ) is easy with any type of behavior you want.

As Neil says, this is not really framework functionality, it's rather trivial to implement this and even abstract it into it's own trait.
trait CachingExpensiveThings { self: Actor =>
 val cache =...
 def receive: Actor.Receive = {
 case s: ExpensiveThing => cachedOrCache(s)
 def cacheOrCached(s: ExpensiveThing) = cache.get(s) match {
 case null => val result = compute(s)
 case cached => self.reply_?)(cached)
 def compute(s: ExpensiveThing): Any
class MyExpensiveThingCalculator extends Actor with CachingExpensiveThings {
 def compute(s: ExpensiveThing) = {
 case l: LastDigitOfPi =>...
 case ts: TravellingSalesman =>...

- Abstract: We present Optimal Completion Distillation (OCD), a training procedure for optimizing sequence to sequence models based on edit distance. OCD is efficient, has no hyper-parameters of its own, and does not require pre-training or joint optimization with conditional log-likelihood. Given a partial sequence generated by the model, we first identify the set of optimal suffixes that minimize the total edit distance, using an efficient dynamic programming algorithm. Then, for each position of the generated sequence, we use a target distribution which puts equal probability on the first token of all the optimal suffixes. OCD achieves the state-of-the-art performance on end-to-end speech recognition, on both Wall Street Journal and Librispeech datasets, achieving $9.3\%$ WER and $4.5\%$ WER, respectively.
