How can animation blueprints be shared among different skeletons?
Using retargeted animations will copy animation resources and animation blueprints, which is not reliable because when I modify the source animation blueprint, the copied version will not be modified synchronously. It would be nice if the copied animation blueprint could use different skeletons and inherit the source animation blueprint, but I don't know how to do it.
Now I've learned how to do these things. The reply has some questions about what I mean. I mean, animbp parent class uses skeleton A, subclass uses skeleton B, A and B may be completely different skeletons, for example, A is a human, B is a spider. They use the same logic, but the animation resources played vary with the skeleton. In subclass, I just need to replace each animation resource. Editing animation logic in the parent class will be synchronized to the subclass. Now I've done it.
Parent AnimBPClass：
AnimBP Subclass：
However, when UE4 started to design, epic did not seem to expect us to do so, so the support for this design was not good.I gave feedback and hope that the official modification function can support us to do as shown in the figure below, so that I can modify the bone name of blend in subclass.
Do you mean the different skeletons have differently-named bones, or are they different instances of the same skeleton (e.g. the default unreal mannequin, like when you have several marketplace packs in your project).
If it is the latter, I delete the skeleton from one pack, and then the engine asks me to assign the animations to a new skeleton, and I assign it the skeleton of the other pack's animations.
I think OP is asking about how to use different skeletons without having to make new animBPs for each one.
I haven't gotten too into this myself but I think probably the thing you need to do is actually make sure you are using the same skeleton for every character you animate. But, let's say you have a male and female version of the character that share the same skeleton that need to use different animations, you would do all your logic in a parent animBP for, say, the male and then create a child animBP of this for your female and use animation blueprint overrides to change the animations you want to use the female set.
In short, as far as I know, you can only use one skeleton per animBP so make all your characters that need to share an animBP with the same skeleton.
The skeleton is assigned per UAnimInstance class. (which your blueprint is derived from) If you want to change the skeleton asset association, you need to create a new class. This means that you have to make a main animation blueprint and create a child blueprint from it. (right click animbp and Create child blueprint class) Then change the skeleton association in the child blueprint Class Settings. (close the blueprint and open it again after doing this)
You will run into a problem after doing this, which is that the animation overrides are bugged and it will not allow you to select animations from your new skeleton. The only way to get around this is to create sequence variables in your main blueprint for every playback node, then update your variable assignments in the child blueprint. The only downside here is that some nodes, like random sequence player, does not support variable inputs.
possibly the lack of fast track, and a few other issues as well.
Its probably easier to right click the animation bp and choose the re-target option.
It will create a copy of everything tied to the skeleton you choose.
You can also overwrite existing files with this process.
I agree, its not as nice as being able to change skeleton on the fly, but every animation needs to be tracked to the correct skeleton still.
I think there is/has been some work put in to remove this limitation, but the reality is unless you specifically tag things to a skeleton the engine doesn't know how to operate the tracks.
With identical skeletons, the proper way to create a copy has been explained (even above) there's a full topic within this section of the forum that details the step by step process.
Not sure if this supports all animation features, fast track, etc. But to make a duplicate in a pinch it has worked well enough for me in the past.
going forward I'd probably refrain from it and make hard copies :stuck_out_tongue:
Fast path have never been affected on our end when using pure variable inputs, which makes sense as it's just a copy of a value or ref/address. The child class is using the same anim graph as its parent class, so it seems far fetched for it to be affected at all.
I updated my post to explain more specifically. Now I have a general idea of how to implement it, but UE4 still limits our development.
I got a lot of done in child BPs when putting al sequences and blend spaces with pins into their player (expose to pin) and then change class defaults and skeleton in the child. But I do not get it done for Aim Offset. Even if I am able to expose the BlendSpace Pin of AimOffset to a variable and change it in the child, it seems AimOffset Node is hard-bound to skeleton. Someone has a solution for using AimOffset in child Anim BP with different skeletons?
Known solution is not working for me. UE4.26.2
EDIT: Sorry, seems to be simply a problem in the Aim Offset of my child Anim BP. Not sure what it was in detail, but Aim offset in child Anim bp was not ready, other value name, etc. When I changed child AimOffset that it has correct anims, and also same value as aimoffset of parent, all runs fine in child anim bp,

The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO) aims to reduce energy consumption and enhance operational efficiency. The FUSE Executive Fellow will analyze energy usage, identify energy reduction opportunities, and lead energy efficiency projects, ultimately transforming SWBNO into a more sustainable and cost-effective agency that better serves the community.
Fellowship Dates: October 23, 2023 – October 21, 2024
Salary: Executive Fellows are FUSE employees and receive an annual base salary of $80,000. Fellows can also access various health, dental, and vision insurance benefits. Compensation for this year of public service is not intended to represent market-rate compensation for the experienced professionals in our program.
ABOUT THE FUSE EXECUTIVE FELLOWSHIP
FUSE is a national nonprofit working to expand social and economic opportunities, particularly for communities that have been limited by a history of systemic and institutionalized racism. FUSE partners with local governments and communities to more effectively address pressing challenges by placing experienced professionals within city and county agencies. These FUSE Executive Fellows lead strategic projects designed to advance racial equity and accelerate systems change. Since 2012, FUSE has led over 250 projects in 40 governments across 20 states, impacting the lives of 25 million people.
When designing each fellowship project, FUSE works closely with government partners and local stakeholders to define a scope of work that will achieve substantive progress toward regional priorities. FUSE then conducts an individualized search for each project to ensure that the selected candidate has at least 15 years of professional experience, the required competencies for the role, and deep connections to the communities being served. They are data-driven and results-oriented and can effectively manage complex projects by developing actionable roadmaps and monitoring progress to completion.
Executive Fellows are hired as FUSE employees and embedded in government agencies for at least one year of full-time work. They receive training, coaching, and professional support from FUSE throughout their fellowships to help achieve their project goals. FUSE Executive Fellows bring diverse perspectives and new approaches to their projects. They build strong relationships with diverse arrays of stakeholders, foster alignment within and across various layers of government, and build partnerships between governments and communities.
The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO) is a vital local government utility responsible for providing safe drinking water, treating wastewater, and managing stormwater runoff to prevent extensive flooding. To fulfill these crucial functions, SWBNO operates six major campuses and 122 pumping stations across the city, employing hundreds of workers and maintaining a fleet of vehicles.
Given its scale, SWBNO's facilities consume substantial electrical power. While the agency has made efforts to enhance energy efficiency, such as installing energy-efficient lighting, larger opportunities for energy savings remain untapped. Smart building management systems, major building system overhauls, and on-site solar energy generation have not been fully explored due to limited capacity within the agency. SWBNO's leadership is committed to reducing the organization's overall energy consumption. Fortunately, funds are available from Entergy, the local electric utility, to support or heavily subsidize various energy efficiency projects. Furthermore, emerging federal programs may provide funding for solar panel installations.
By reducing energy consumption, SWBNO can serve the community more cost-effectively and make significant progress toward operating in an environmentally sustainable manner. The agency is also concerned about creating better working conditions for its employees. Energy efficiency initiatives hold the potential to improve work environments by providing enhanced lighting and climate control, thereby enhancing the quality of work life.
To analyze energy consumption and implement projects that reduce energy use, SWBNO will collaborate with FUSE. The appointed FUSE Executive Fellow will engage with agency stakeholders, gather and analyze energy usage data, and develop a prioritized list of opportunities for energy reduction. Subsequently, the Executive Fellow will initiate the implementation of these improvements. A successful Executive Fellow will play a pivotal role in reducing the energy footprint of this significant public utility, resulting in a more efficient agency that better serves the community.
PROJECT SUMMARY & POTENTIAL DELIVERABLES
The following provides a general overview of the proposed fellowship project. This project summary and the potential deliverables will be collaboratively revisited by the host agency, the fellow, and FUSE staff during the first few months of the fellowship.
Beginning in October 2023, the Executive Fellow will engage with agency stakeholders, gather and analyze energy usage data, and develop a prioritized list of opportunities for energy reduction. They will then lead the initial implementation of these improvements, working towards reducing the energy footprint of SWBNO and enhancing its overall efficiency.
To ensure the sustainability and long-term impact of the fellowship work, the Executive Fellow will employ several strategies. They will actively engage with SWBNO staff, looking to identify training and resource opportunities to empower employees in understanding and maintaining energy efficiency measures. This knowledge will enable SWBNO to continue managing and improving energy consumption beyond the fellowship. The Fellow will also build relationships among stakeholders, including agency leadership, staff, and external partners, fostering collaboration and ensuring ongoing support for energy efficiency efforts. Regular meetings, updates, and engagement activities will promote a sustainable culture within SWBNO. Additionally, the Fellow will establish monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to track project performance, collect data, measure energy reduction, and assess cost savings and environmental benefits. Sharing these findings with SWBNO leadership will help to demonstrate the value of the initiatives and inform future decision-making.
By October 2024, the Executive Fellow will have overseen the following:
- Comprehensive Energy Consumption Analysis: The Executive Fellow will thoroughly analyze SWBNO's energy consumption, gathering data from various sources and engaging with agency stakeholders. This analysis will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current energy usage patterns, identifying areas of inefficiency and opportunities for improvement. By evaluating the energy consumption across SWBNO's facilities, including major campuses, pumping stations, and buildings, the Fellow can develop a holistic approach to energy reduction.
- Prioritized List of Energy Reduction Opportunities: Based on the findings from the energy consumption analysis, the Executive Fellow will develop a prioritized list of opportunities for energy reduction. This list will identify specific projects and initiatives with the highest energy savings and operational efficiency potential. The Fellow will consider financial feasibility, environmental impact, and scalability factors to ensure that the recommended opportunities align with SWBNO's goals and resources. The prioritized list will serve as a roadmap for the implementation phase.
- Implementation of Energy Efficiency Projects: The Executive Fellow will play a pivotal role in implementing the identified energy efficiency projects. They will work closely with SWBNO staff, external partners, and contractors to being to execute the recommended initiatives effectively. This may involve overseeing the installation of energy-efficient systems, coordinating the integration of smart building management systems, exploring the use of solar energy for on-site power generation, and facilitating upgrades to major building systems. The Fellow will ensure that the projects are executed efficiently, within budget, and in line with the sustainability goals of SWBNO.
- Executive Sponsor – Ghassan Korban, Executive Director; Sewerage & Water Board

This thesis will draw upon radio production, specifically community radio, to examine how the participation of the audience can empower participants and offer a voice to the voiceless. By embedding the values of community radio into community/rehabilitation projects, can radio improve lives for those participating in the production?
This research will explore what is meant by the term minority community, and how those within a minority community can be better represented through the medium of radio. Radio produced 'by the prisoner for the prisoner' is beginning to draw academic interest as a means to help prisoners with their rehabilitation process. This thesis will explore the nature of the media within minority communities, and will specifically examine how radio production can be used to connect with the more challenging to reach communities such as prisoners and patients within a high-secure hospital. Are prisoners a minority community? If so, what defines them as such? By focusing on one element of minority communities; those who are incarcerated, this body of work examines the broader implications for other minority communities.
It is necessary to examine the impact that radio has on the producer to analyse how radio can improve lives. By drawing on the theory and practice of media production, as well as the impact on participants, a conclusion can be made on how the lives of those involved are improved.
The DiGi DBT (Digital Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) project will act as a case study to test the theory that radio production can improve lives. Through an observational research approach, the project will look specifically at patients diagnosed with personality disorders, living in a high-secure hospital. By encouraging patients to engage with community radiobased projects, can they be empowered? If empowerment takes place, can this aid the patients' rehabilitation process?
DiGi DBT was initially a two-year project, funded by Knowledge Transformation Partnerships (KTP), which was later extended to three years. DiGi DBT was observed first-hand by the researcher and author of this thesis, while being employed as the Media and Therapy Developer responsible for leading the programme. The project saw the University of Lincoln and Rampton High Secure Hospital come together to use radio as a medium to help patients diagnosed with personality disorder redesign Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) for future patients through radio production. This thesis uses ethnographic, observational and qualitative research techniques to evaluate the success of the project, the project aims and how this project can be used as a case study to evidence how radio can improve lives in minority communities

Purpose: Energy-discriminating, photon counting detectors (PCDs) are an emerging technology for spectroscopic imaging in CT. Current PCDs suffer from poor spectral separation due to charge sharing effects. We propose the coincidence bin as a mechanism for charge sharing compensation. The coincidence bin simply counts coincidences in the lowest level discriminator (LLD) of adjacent pixels. The estimator uses the coincidence bin as if it were an energy bin to improve material decomposition estimates. Unlike other charge sharing compensation mechanisms, it does not reduce the count rate capability of the detector. We compare the impact of the coincidence at low flux against charge summing. Because charge sharing is often under the LLD threshold, we examined the incremental benefit of lowering the LLD from a standard (30 keV) to reduced threshold (10 keV).
Methods: The interaction of photons with the CdTe substrate was simulated using GEANT4. Separate Monte Carlo simulations are used to model the charge collected in pixels, modeling these pixels as perfect collectors. Noise in material decomposition images was then estimated using the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound. We assumed a 120 kVp spectrum, a 20 cm thickness water background, 5 energy bins equally spaced from the LLD to 110 keV, and used 10,000 noise realizations to calculate the CRLB.
Results: The relative dose efficiency for an iodine material decomposition task is 32%, 54%, and 100% for a 5-bin simulated PCD without charge sharing compensation, with the coincidence bin, and with analog charge summing. When the LLD is reduced from 30 keV to 10 keV, the dose efficiencies change to 36%, 68%, and 98%. Benefits are somewhat less for a water material task.
Conclusion: The coincidence bin is a simple and effective mechanism for charge sharing compensation. With a carefully selected LLD threshold, it can nearly double spectral performance in certain tasks.

I've just returned from a long weekend in Bologna, Italy, and there I learnt that the word baloney in baloney sandwich is named after the town, or rather, the sausage that was first made in Bologna.
Baloney sandwich is not a well-known term in the UK, but here there is a sausage called polony, and that word, too, comes from the word Bologna.
We use the word baloney, also spelt boloney, a lot in the UK, but it means 'poppycock' or 'nonsense'. The OED says that the link with Bologna is 'conjectural', but Jonathon Green in his Dictionary of Slang refers to Ramon Adams, author of Western Words, who says that Bologna bulls are animals of inferior quality, whose meat is used to make Bologna sausage. Presumably people found the sausages inferior or 'rubbish' too, and the nonsense sense perhaps comes from this connection. Eric Partridge in A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English has a different theory. He thinks that boloney/baloney comes from the Romany word pelone, meaning testicles, and refers to the analogy of balls, which is slang for both testicles and nonsense.

How to send two different DocRead tasks from the same base document
It is really easy to use DocRead to assign an item that has been stored in a SharePoint document library or list to groups of users who then must acknowledge the completion of the item leaving an audit trail to prove exactly who has completed what task and when. DocRead allows you to select several SharePoint Groups / Active Directory groups and individuals who will all receive the same instructions and will all be asked to complete the same task.
However if you need two groups of employees to read / complete the same information, but with slightly different requirements then this is also easy to arrange without having to duplicate the initial document or save details in multiple locations by using a link to the document.
For example:
1) If you need Group A to read a document and take an associated quiz but also need Group B to read exactly the same document but who do not need to answer the quiz.
2) If Group C are required to read an item, but it only needs to be recommended to Group D and you wish email messages to contain appropriate messages to be sent to both groups.
How to create two DocRead tasks from the same item
1) Save the item in the required SharePoint library or list.
2) Create a link to the document, this is shown in more detail in the post here.
3) Use DocRead message templates to ensure the email notifications and messages the user receives in the DocRead task window are appropriate for the task.
4) Attach surveys created with DocSurvey as necessary.
5) Repeat steps 2, 3 +4 to create as many iterations as you need.
6) Assign each link to the document (with the correct messages) to the correct group(s) of users.
7) Ensure the item is checked in, approved as necessary and a major version has been created, then wait for the DocRead timer job to run (or process reading tasks manually on the site) for the tasks to be created. Remember after the tasks have been created you may need to wait a little while longer for the associated emails to be sent (this will depend on the settings you have used for the email notification schedule timer jobs).

Formation temperature is one of the most critical parameters in drilling and workover operation and it varies by true vertical depth of wellbore.
The following formula shows relationship between formation temperature and true vertical depth of well.
Formation temperature = (ambient surface temperature ) + (temperature gradient x Well TVD)
Formation temperature in F (Fahrenheit)
ambient surface temperature in F (Fahrenheit)
temperature gradient in F/ft (Fahrenheit / ft)
Well TVD in ft
Example: The temperature gradient in a specific area is 0.015 °F/ft of depth and the ambient surface temperature is 90 °F.
Determine the estimated formation temperature at a TVD of 12,000 ft:
Formation Temperature, °F = 90 °F + (0.015 °F/ft x 12,000 ft)
Formation Temperature, °F = 90 °F + 180 °F
Formation Temperature = 270 °F (estimated formation temperature)
Please find the Excel sheet used for estimating formation temperature.

Mesmerizing video of 'Waterfall Clouds' in Aizawl goes viral
A mesmerizing video of clouds flowing off a height like a waterfall in Aizawl is going viral.
The video was shared on Facebook by Aziz Barbhuiya, and has been viewed and shared thousands of times on social media.
The viral clip shows clouds descending from a higher level to a lower one, with many saying it looked like a fluffy waterfall.
Watch the video here:
Waterfall Clouds
The stunning visual comes from a phenomenon known as orographic clouds that are commonly known as "waterfall clouds". These clouds are generally associated with a moist airflow over mountainous areas.
It usually occurs when stable air encounters a mountain, and is lifted upward, cooling as it rises. Water vapour in the moist air could condense, making it visible as a cloud. So when orographic clouds flow down from the tops of mountains, it often looks like a waterfall.

The work proposed here is based on new developments in the field of grating-based interferometers allowing to obtain a signature of the bone microstructure from their scattering signal. The obtained information is thus fundamentally different from classical medical imaging methods; this method was identified as extremely relevant for the diagnosis of bone diseases implying structural changes like osteoporosis, which is the main target of this study. The brilliance of the BRIX – and later SPECTRE – source will ensure the success of the technique as preliminary experiments at large scale synchrotron facilities could demonstrate.
The development of an osteoporosis diagnosis tool based on grating-based dark-field imaging implies both theoretical and pre-clinical studies. First an appropriate mathematical framework needs to be developed in order to reconstruct the relevant bone structural information from their scattering signal (à la CT). Secondly, pre-clinical studies must be performed in order to develop a quantitative analysis tool for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. In this frame several trials on clinically relevant samples will be performed and the effect of the micro-structural changes between healthy and pathological samples on the dark field signal will be quantitatively and systematically investigated using BRIX.
A systematic comparison with gold standard methods such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and histology will be performed. A complete simulation tool of the dark field signal formation in bones will also be developed. High-resolution CT measurement of the samples used as input to the simulation tool will enable a direct cross checking of the experimental and simulation results, thus allowing for a refinement of the measurement method.

How do I remove and replace a laptop key or keycap?
Note: This document is also meant for general reference and may not apply to your laptop. If you have a desktop computer, see removing keys from a desktop keyboard steps.
Notice: Before removing any of the keyboard's keys, make sure the computer is turned off, or at the very least locked so nothing is mistakenly typed as it could cause other problems.
Removing keycap
 1. Laptop keyboard key retainerTo remove the keycap from a keyboard place your finger nail, small flat-head screwdriver, or knife under a corner of the key and gently pry the keycap up and away from the laptop.
 2. In many situations, the key only snaps out partially. If the keycap is still attached to the laptop use your fingers to remove the keycap completely.
 3. Once removed you should see the key retainer (scissor-switch) still attached to the laptop with the pad in the middle. If needed, this too can be removed from the laptop by placing the flat head of a screwdriver or a knife's edge under a corner and gently twisting until it pops off.
Replacing the keycap
Tip: If you need a new keyboard key for you laptop, has a great selection.
 1. With the key removed, carefully observe the metal hooks on the keyboard where the old key used to be.
 2. Orient the plastic hinge (new or old) so that the holes line up with the metal hooks.
 3. Insert the smaller plastic piece, usually referred to as a cup, evenly into the center of the retainer.
 4. Replace the keycap and press evenly on all four sides.

We propose a new metamaterial with a gradient negative index of refraction, which can focus a collimated beam of light coming from a distant object. A slab of the negative refractive index metamaterial has a focal length that can be tuned by changing the gradient of the negative refractive index. A thin metal film pierced with holes of appropriate size or spacing between them can be used as a metamaterial with the gradient negative index of refraction. We use finite-difference time-domain calculations to show the focusing of a plane electromagnetic wave passing through a system of equidistantly spaced holes in a metal slab with decreasing diameters toward the edges of the slab.

When do raccoon breed, and how many babies can they have?
raccoonRaccoon breed in the month of January and sometimes even as late as May or June. This can depend of the region of the United States. Their gestation period is about 60-64 days. Most litters are born in April and May, but some may be born later depending on the breeding. There is only one litter of young born each year. They can have one to six, but the average size litter is between three and five. To find out more, have a look at our Animal Facts.

Kang's Summit was an area on Qo'noS that was known for its population of saber bear.
In 2371, while hunting saber bear on the Summit, Martok was captured by the Dominion. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow")
It is likely that this location was named for Kang, one of the Klingon Empire's greatest warriors. Alternately, it could be named for legendary title character from the epic poem The Fall of Kang.

Curve and Surface Fitting Objects and Methods
This section describes how to use Curve Fitting Toolbox™ functions from the command-line or to write programs for curve and surface fitting applications.
The Curve Fitting app allows convenient, interactive use of Curve Fitting Toolbox functions, without programming. You can, however, access Curve Fitting Toolbox functions directly, and write programs that combine curve fitting functions with MATLAB® functions and functions from other toolboxes. This allows you to create a curve fitting environment that is precisely suited to your needs.
Models and fits in the Curve Fitting app are managed internally as curve fitting objects. Objects are manipulated through a variety of functions called methods. You can create curve fitting objects, and apply curve fitting methods, outside of the Curve Fitting app.
Curve Fitting Objects
In MATLAB programming, all workspace variables are objects of a particular class. Familiar examples of MATLAB classes are double, char, and function_handle. You can also create custom MATLAB classes, using object-oriented programming.
Methods are functions that operate exclusively on objects of a particular class. Data types package together objects and methods so that the methods operate exclusively on objects of their own type, and not on objects of other types. A clearly defined encapsulation of objects and methods is the goal of object-oriented programming.
Curve Fitting Toolbox software provides you with new MATLAB data types for performing curve fitting:
 - fittype — Objects allow you to encapsulate information describing a parametric model for your data. Methods allow you to access and modify that information.
 - cfit and sfit — Two subtypes of fittype, for curves and surfaces. Objects capture information from a particular fit by assigning values to coefficients, confidence intervals, fit statistics, etc. Methods allow you to post-process the fit through plotting, extrapolation, integration, etc.
Because cfit is a subtype of fittype, cfit inherits all fittype methods. In other words, you can apply fittype methods to both fittype and cfit objects, but cfit methods are used exclusively with cfit objects. Similarly for sfit objects.
As an example, the fittype method islinear, which determines if a model is linear or nonlinear, would apply equally well before or after a fit; that is, to both fittype and cfit objects. On the other hand, the cfit methods coeffvalues and confint, which, respectively, return fit coefficients and their confidence intervals, would make no sense if applied to a general fittype object which describes a parametric model with undetermined coefficients.
Curve fitting objects have properties that depend on their type, and also on the particulars of the model or the fit that they encapsulate. For example, the following code uses the constructor methods for the two curve fitting types to create a fittype object f and a cfit object c:
f = fittype('a*x^2+b*exp(n*x)')
f =
 General model:
 f(a,b,n,x) = a*x^2+b*exp(n*x)
c = cfit(f,1,10.3,-1e2)
c =
 General model:
 c(x) = a*x^2+b*exp(n*x)
 a = 1
 b = 10.3
 n = -100
Note that the display method for fittype objects returns only basic information, piecing together outputs from formula and indepnames.
cfit and fittype objects are evaluated at predictor values x using feval. You can call feval indirectly using the following functional syntax:
y = cfun(x) % cfit objects;
y = ffun(coef1,coef2,...,x) % fittype objects;
Curve Fitting Methods
Curve fitting methods allow you to create, access, and modify curve fitting objects. They also allow you, through methods like plot and integrate, to perform operations that uniformly process the entirety of information encapsulated in a curve fitting object.
The methods listed in the following table are available for all fittype objects, including cfit objects.
Fit Type MethodDescription
Get input argument names
Get fit category
Get coefficient names
Get dependent variable name
Evaluate model at specified predictors
Construct fittype object
Get formula string
Get independent variable name
Determine if model is linear
Get number of input arguments
Get number of coefficients
Get problem-dependent parameter names
Set model fit options
Get name of model
The methods listed in the following table are available exclusively for cfit objects.
Curve Fit MethodDescription
Construct cfit object
Get coefficient values
Get confidence intervals for fit coefficients
Differentiate fit
Integrate fit
Plot fit
Get prediction intervals
Get problem-dependent parameter values
A complete list of methods for a curve fitting object can be obtained with the MATLAB methods command. For example,
Methods for class fittype:
argnames dependnames fittype islinear probnames
category feval formula numargs setoptions
coeffnames fitoptions indepnames numcoeffs type
Note that some of the methods listed by methods do not appear in the tables above, and do not have reference pages in the Curve Fitting Toolbox documentation. These additional methods are generally low-level operations used by the Curve Fitting app, and not of general interest when writing curve fitting applications.
There are no global accessor methods, comparable to getfield and setfield, available for fittype objects. Access is limited to the methods listed above. This is because many of the properties of fittype objects are derived from other properties, for which you do have access. For example,
f = fittype('a*cos( b*x-c )')
f =
 General model:
 f(a,b,c,x) = a*cos( b*x-c )
ans =
a*cos( b*x-c )
ans =
You construct the fittype object f by giving the formula, so you do have write access to that basic property of the object. You have read access to that property through the formula method. You also have read access to the argument names of the object, through the argnames method. You don't, however, have direct write access to the argument names, which are derived from the formula. If you want to set the argument names, set the formula.
Surface Fitting Objects and Methods
Surface Fitting Objects and Methods
The surface fit object (sfit) stores the results from a surface fitting operation, making it easy to plot and analyze fits at the command line.
Like cfit objects, sfit objects are a subclass of fittype objects, so they inherit all the same methods of fittype listed in Curve Fitting Methods.
sfit objects also provide methods exclusively for sfit objects. See sfit.
One way to quickly assemble code for surface fits and plots into useful programs is to generate a file from a session in the Curve Fitting app. In this way, you can transform your interactive analysis of a single data set into a reusable function for command-line analysis or for batch processing of multiple data sets. You can use the generated file without modification, or edit and customize the code as needed. See Generate Code and Export Fits to the Workspace.

Decimal Trading
DEFINITION of 'Decimal Trading'
A system in which the price of a security is quoted using a decimal format rather than fractions. For example, a decimal trading quote would be $56.25; using fractions, the same quote would appear as $56¼. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ordered all stock markets within the U.S. to convert to decimals by April 9, 2001. Prior to 2001, markets in the United States utilized fractions in price quotes. Since decimalization, all quotes appear in the decimal trading format.
BREAKING DOWN 'Decimal Trading'
Decimalization has led to tighter spreads since smaller price movements can be accounted for. For example, prior to decimalization, one-sixteenth (1/16) of $1 was the minimum price movement represented in a price quote (this is equal to $0.0625).
With decimalization, the minimum price movement is 1 cent for stocks over $1, providing a greater number of price levels and allowing for tighter spreads between the bid and the ask levels for trading instruments.

How Saudi Restaurants Can Increase their Efficiency With An Automatic KOT System
Technology has become an indispensable part of streamlining and running restaurant operations seamlessly. The restaurant Kitchen Order Ticket (KOT) is a small, yet critical aspect of the restaurant ordering system. KOT is a note which is forwarded to the kitchen and billing division, as soon as an order is placed while one copy is retained in the system for future reference. Kitchen Order Tickets primarily contain details related to the items ordered, table number, and the quantity. Having an automated restaurant KOT reduces the scope for manual errors, saves time, helps with real-time reporting of all the orders at your restaurant, and reduces monetary discrepancies. This article explains how an automated KOT System improves restaurant ordering and kitchen Operations and why restaurants in Saudi Arabia must consider shifting towards it.
How An Automated KOT System Will Improve Restaurant Ordering And Kitchen Operations In Saudi Arabia
Traditional KOT generation is a slow, manual process, having much scope for errors, and gives little room for monitoring and tracking the orders. Thus, it is important to switch to an automated restaurant KOT application that not only saves time and increases efficiency but also reduces your costs in the long run.
A smart restaurant POS provides instant KOT generation and helps manage other operations such as customer relationship management, inventory management, detailed reporting, etc.
An automated KOT system is easy to use and install. The entire process can be broken down into three simple steps:
 - Install KOT printers in the kitchen and bar.
 - Make sure that the kitchen prepares and supplies food, based on the printed KOT. Train all your staff accordingly.
 - Install the POS system at the foodservice desk.
Shifting to an automated restaurant generation process can have a lot of benefits. These are the various ways in which an automated restaurant KOT generation process can smoothen your restaurant operations:
1. Ease Of Use
The method of accepting orders into the POS is straightforward. After punching the orders into the system, one can automatically generate the restaurant KOT. Due to its touchscreen interface, it becomes easy for the servers to operate the KOT system. Even for the restaurant staff that is not very tech-savvy, a simple and automatic KOT generation process makes it much easier to process the orders.
2. Accelerates Restaurant Services
The food service process is accelerated as the order is punched on the shop floor, whereas the KOT is printed in the kitchen in real-time. In the traditional KOT generation process, there is always a requirement to handover the KOT manually.
This arrangement also saves time as it allows the automatic capture of data. It reduces the overall table turnaround and the time taken to serve the customers. This has a direct impact on customer satisfaction since it takes less time for your staff to communicate, prepare, and deliver the orders.
In case operators are looking for ways to further automate the restaurant ordering system, they can digitize the entire KOT generation process too. A Kitchen Display System (KDS) comes in handy as instead of printing a paper-based KOT, the orders are directly displayed on display screens along with the order details. KDS not only improves efficiency in your restaurant kitchen, but it also saves substantial time and helps improve the customer experience.
Why Do You Need Cloud Kitchen POS
3. Integrates Seamlessly With Online Ordering Platforms
One of the biggest challenges that restaurateurs often face is streamlining the food delivery orders from online ordering platforms such as Talabat, UberEats, etc. Unless your restaurant ordering system is automated, there are high chances that the online orders may get delayed or missed while sending them to the kitchen for preparation. An automatic restaurant KOT application system ensures that online orders are directly accepted at the POS, and the KOT is generated immediately and printed in the kitchen.
4. Reduces the Scope for Discrepancies
Restaurants can have complete control over their business through real-time monitoring, even if they have outlets at multiple locations. Live analytics allow you to view the number of KOTs generated and enable you to monitor your restaurant operations at all times, from anywhere.
As one can easily access daily sales and stock details, it helps in minimizing revenue leakage. When restaurant operators in Saudi Arabia can monitor the entire information related to raw materials, whether in stock or items that need to be ordered, etc. there will be fewer chances of duplicate orders. One can also exercise theft control because you can keep a tab on the inflow and outflow of materials in real-time.
5. Reduces Dependency On Manual Entries
In the manual KOT generation system, the wait staff always checks or rechecks the KOT. Automated restaurant KOT system not only reduces the manual tasks at hand but also lowers the labor costs. Besides, it also cuts down the wrong delivery problem as it contains the token number, which is also present on the bill.
New-age cloud restaurant POS systems are easy to install and do not require much space. When the billing apps are integrated with the KOT feature, restaurant operators do not need to invest much. These are usually affordable and bring an overall improvement to the business and the revenue earned.
An automated restaurant KOT application will not only help you accelerate your restaurant operations but will also help in reducing your operating expenses to a great extent. Invest in an automated KOT generation system and increase the efficiency of your restaurant operations in Saudi Arabia.

South Jersey Ghost Researchers share haunted sightings with library audience
Washington Township Times By Washington Township Times South Jersey Newspapers
on October 07, 2011 at 12:00 PM
By Michelle Caffrey
The audience at the Margaret E. Heggan library gasped loudly when they heard the recording. The ghostly voice of a little girl exclaimed, "Hello."
It was one of many electronic voice phenomenon, or EVPs, that the South Jersey Ghost Researchers played for the captivated crowd on Sept. 26.
The researchers, a well-known nonprofit that's been featured on The History Channel, National Geographic and almost every major media outlet, presented their compelling evidence and fielded questions from the crowd.
The group's main focus is on helping private citizens confronted with unexplainable phenomenon in their houses, but it also never passes up the opportunity to investigate some of the eeriest historical locations in the tri-state area. Eastern State Penitentiary, Burlington County Prison Museum, and even the Old Stone House Village right in town are just a few of the hundreds of places the organization has studied.
"We're pioneers. We were the first to investigate many haunted places that you now see on TV," Investigator and Team Leader Kim Pietrzak said.
The researchers presented the best findings from their most active investigations, including photos of full-body apparitions and EVPs. They also explained their painstaking methodologies. Before the prospective investigators can even begin to snoop for the supernatural, they have to go through a lengthy training process. "You're going to learn how to do this, and do it well," Assistant Director Mandy McCaw said. "It's like bootcamp."
Investigators are trained to use the sophisticated equipment that they bring to each investigation, and the do's and don'ts of ghost hunting. Despite it's reputation as a séance staple, one of the biggest "don'ts" for the organization is the use of Ouija Boards.
They ask every one of their clients if they own a board, and if they say yes, the team won't continue their investigation until it's handed over.
"It's an unsafe tool," McCaw said. "It's adding an unknown factor to so many unknowns already." After they hand over the board, the group then brings it to a church for disposal.
The researchers presented at the library when it was at its old location on East Holly Avenue, but the library's new digs allowed for the group to show the audience their full range of eerie evidence, including recordings, videos, photos and more.
Pietrzak said many of their team members don't just research paranormal, they live with it daily. Many reside in haunted homes currently, or have in the past.
"When I was a child, I remember the covers coming off, things like that," Pietrzak said. "I remember being really curious. I wasn't afraid, but I realized other people might be frightened."
The organization's main focus is to help the people that they encounter reduce their fears and live comfortably in their own home.
After the presentation, the group answered the crowd's most pressing ghost questions— Do women experience sightings more than men? Why do experiences with the paranormal always seem to happen late at night?
Pietrzak said that while there are some theories about women being more open to emotional energies, it really depends on the person.
"I believe it doesn't matter," she said. "But one individual may be more open than another."
When it comes to the rumored "witching hours," when more supernatural events seem to happen, McCaw said that it can be explained with one of the simplest facts about the wee hours of the morning—everyone is asleep.
"That's the quietest time, not a lot of people are awake and moving," McCaw said, "So people tend to listen and hear a lot more."
McCaw enjoys presenting to crowds like the one at the library, partially because she relishes the opportunity to educate people on how paranormal investigators go about their work.
"A lot of ghost hunters on TV have a bad reputation," McCaw said. "We want to let them know that this is what we do, we're not what you see on the TV."
The problem with those shows, McCaw said, is that they have a policy of purposely antagonizing the spirits they're communicating with.
"Everything they do is provoking. We are against that," McCaw said. "We, as a rule, don't allow members to do that. It's out of total respect to the spirit."
Barbara Rothschild, a township resident, attended the event and even said she had her own supernatural experience at the Old Stone Village. Rothschild, who is a self-identified "sensitive", said she felt a random, severe pain in her lower abdomen when she was there with investigators. Later on, she learned that a farmer had been kicked by a horse in that same spot, resulting in his death.
"I picked up on that. A lot of people this paranormal stuff isn't possible, they tend to think you're a lunatic," Rothschild said. "It is real, it's very real. You've just got to tune into it."

WITH 30 years passing since the night Mount Macedon was ravaged by fire, the region is bracing to remember those who died and the emergency crews who helped prevent further tragedy.
The Ash Wednesday fires of February 16, 1983, claimed 75 lives and destroyed more than 3000 homes.
Locally, the fire spread from East Trentham to Mount Macedon, killing seven people, destroying more than 600 homes and buildings, and devastating wildlife and bushland.
Until the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009, they were the deadliest in Australia's history.
Macedon Ranges Shire mayor Roger Jukes said the 30-year anniversary was a time for remembering the people who lost their lives, as well as acknowledging the enormous effort of emergency services personnel and community members who fought hard to restrict the fires spreading further.
"For our community, the legacy that Ash Wednesday and other major bushfires has left is an increased knowledge of what fire can do and acceptance of fire as a natural occurrence," he said.
"We wish to acknowledge those who were affected by these devastating fires and celebrate the community's efforts to work together to recover from this disaster."


Thixotropic Index (TI)
Definition - What does Thixotropic Index (TI) mean?
This is a ratio between the slow speed viscosity to the high speed viscosity of a non-Newtonian body. It is obtained from dividing the viscosity number at low speed by the viscosity number at high speed of a given fluid. It therefore defines how well the fluid will hang or resist sagging under gravity.
It is used to indicate the ability of a paint or coating to hold shape-stiff and non-sagging when rebuilding; aids in choosing an epoxy in accordance to the application, dispense method and viscosity of a material.
Corrosionpedia explains Thixotropic Index (TI)
Non-Newtonian fluids are known to have a low viscosity when stirred at high speed and high viscosity at low speeds. In these fluids, the energy required to move then is not directly equal to the speed applied. At rest, the fluid will not flow, but when subjected to shear or pressure, it flows easily as the agitation increase. A fluid is thixotropic when the apparent viscosity is recovered when the shearing is removed; the recovery is time-dependent—viscosity decreases gradually with time.
The thixotropic index is obtained by measuring the viscosity of a fluid at room or ambient temperature. The viscometer is used to measure the viscosity at two speeds (one is a multiple or a factor of 10 of the other). From the viscosity results, the product is obtained by dividing the viscosity at lowest speed by the viscosity at the highest speed.

Can humans float on mercury?
The liquid metal is about 13 times as dense as water, which means that a 2 liter jug of mercury weighs more than 50 pounds. And because we meat bags are much less dense than mercury — on average 1.062 g/cubic centimeter — we're able to float in it.
Will things float in mercury?
Mercury is a metallic element and has a density of 13.5 grams per cubic centimeter (0.49 pounds per cubic inch). This means that the density of mercury is approximately 13 times greater than that of water. Therefore, some objects that sink in water will float on mercury, including pieces of lead, silver and steel.
Will a gold ring float on mercury?
Mercury is a liquid metal and has a density of 13.5 g/cm³ and gold has density of 19.3 g/cm³. Since density of gold is higher than the density of mercury, so gold would sink in mercury.
Can solid mercury float on liquid mercury?
Consequently the solid mercury is heavier than the liquid mercury and a piece of it when in solid state it will not float in its own liquid state. Mercury is a fascinating example of a metallic element that is liquid at room temperature.
Will an ice cube float in mercury?
Mercury is very dense, so the ice cube would make only a small dent in the mercury. But the fact that it is displacing even a little mercury means that the surface of the mercury is higher than it would have been before we dropped in the ice cube.
Will a ice cube float in mercury?
What will happen when mercury falls on gold?
Freddie Mercury may have had the golden voice, but real mercury, that endlessly entertaining and dangerous liquid metal, has the golden touch. That is, if it touches gold it will immediately break the lattice bonds of the precious metal and form an alloy in a process known as amalgamation.
What happens when mercury falls on skin?
Mercury Toxicity Direct contact with elemental (liquid) mercury can cause irritation and chemical burns. Possible immediate effects may include dizziness, vertigo, flu-like symptoms, burning or irritation, pale or clammy skin, irritability, and emotional instability.

Why Do Piano Keys Stick?
There are 1000 different reasons why piano keys stick but most commonly is a change in humidity or temperature. As you change the environment around the piano it will have to acclimate which can effect the keys.
Typically when you start running your A/C or Heat for the season or after you move a piano, the keys can stick for a short time. If your keys are sticking longer then a week, there's a different problem that needs to be addressed.

Beijing, Mar 2 (IANS/EFE) Authorities in the central Chinese province of Henan inaugurated a road that is designed to play music as vehicles pass over it, the media said.
Hundreds of narrow ribbons are arrayed across a 300-meter stretch of the road in such as way as to play a tune as vehicles pass.
The vehicles must be travelling at a minimum speed of 40 kph to correctly sound the notes.
The road, located inside the Changge nature reserve, plays either the Chinese national anthem or the traditional favourite "Molihua" (Jasmine), depending on which direction the vehicles are moving.
It is China's first musical road, though similar thoroughfares exist in Japan, South Korea and Denmark, where the idea of turning a road into a musical instrument originated in 1994.
The Danes who built the first tuneful road dubbed it the "asphaltophone".
California once had its own musical road, but authorities had to repave it after area residents complained about constant noise as some drivers were driving back and forth just to make the song play.


weight the individual stacks of sliced, salted eggplant. Very often I use a cutting board with some cans on top of it for weight.
After about an hour, I pull the weight, remove the eggplant slices to a bowl, clean up the water on the counter, rinse the eggplant slices very well and dry them. They are now ready to use in whatever recipe I am using at the time.
This process removes the greater portion of the free water and compresses the eggplant to a bit less than half the original thickness.
Up until I learned this technique, we considered eggplant as somewhere at the bottom of the desirable vegetable list. After learning and using it, my eggplant went from being chunks of mush to chunks with texture, improving the esteem in which it was held tremendously.
If you can find it in a restaurant, order eggplant parmigiana and ask your waiter if the eggplant is pressed. The difference between pressed (meaning salted and pressed) and unpressed eggplant in this dish is pronounced and very noticeable.

5 Tips For Selling Rural Land
In the past 5 months we have closed on (or has under contract) 43 properties totaling 5,979 acres for approximately $9.1 million dollars.
Here are some tips for a decision you'll feel good about:
Successful Selling
Some successful selling techniques for selling land include preparing all of the land information and documentation upfront, researching possible uses for the land and advertising close to home before launching a far-reaching marketing campaign. Selling land typically involves selling a piece of real estate that does not have a home or other type of building on it, so knowing what buyers want to purchase the land for will be useful in selling it.
Selling an empty plot of land can be difficult because it lacks some of the features and amenities that helps sell a more developed property. One of the first things a land seller should do is gather any documents they have on the property. Property documents include the most recent land survey, title or deed.
Second, review the survey to obtain some of the facts and figures that you will want to use as selling points for the land. This includes the square footage or acreage of the lot, the shape of the lot and anything that sits on the land. While the land may not have an actual building, the land may have other selling points for selling the land, such as a lake, pond, well or sewer system, trees, landscaping, a barn or other selling points. The seller should thoroughly research any zoning options the property may have.

The differences between sixth form and university
When you get to university, you expect a lot of things to be different from the sixth form. However, some of those things might surprise you. Here are a few differences that the prospectus didn't tell you about.
At university (unlike at sixth form) no one will tell you what to do!
A big difference between sixth form and uni is that unlike at sixth form, you will not be told which parts of your class are important. Neither your lecturer nor your teacher will tell you what you should be writing down. Instead, they will lecture and you will have to scribble away, hoping you have got the important bits covered. In no other aspect of your university education will you be told what to do – unless you ask. No more letters coming home to your parents, or assemblies – it's every student for themselves.
Referencing everything is a huge difference between sixth form and university
The sixth form may or may not have introduced you to this ghastly and frankly evil ritual that is referencing. Regardless, you will have to get used to it! It is basically this horrible stage in the already horrible event of having to write a 4000-word assignment. You are physically unable to write a single word without having referenced the author who wrote that word prior to you including it in your essay, the date that it was originally published, the page number in which you found said quote and the publisher who so kindly published the book in which you are now referencing.
A big difference between sixth form and university is that you will live in the library!
The library of a university will have everything you could possibly need as a student: a place to study quietly, computers, sofas that are just about comfortable enough to sleep on and food. Thus, you will live in the library – what possible reason would you have to leave? Oh yes, lectures of course!
Books piled up and crammed into a room or library
Living hand-to-mouth is a real thing that happens
Many students struggle to handle their finances at university and money becomes really tight. The assumption is parties every night and living it up all the time. However, the truth is that this gets expensive very quickly and soon you will have to figure out your priorities. If this is the case, take some time to budget properly for the essentials and if necessary go speak to the professionals on hand at the university to help you manage your money and finances.
All this can come as a real shock to start but don't worry, we're all in the same boat and you will get used to it.

Frequency Analysis of Flood Damage
Additional Document Info
Determination of flood damage frequencies constitutes a fundamental component of any comprehensive flood-risk methodology. A time series of flood damage may contain zero values. Therefore, the probability distribution of damage should be derived taking into consideration these zero values. This distribution was derived using the total probability theorem (in conjunction with gamma, log-normal and Weibull distributions), order statistics, kinematic diffusion (KD) model, and the Box-Cox transformation. Flood damage frequencies determined using these methods were compared with those determined empirically for Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas in the United States. For the four southern states studied, it is found that of all three different analysis methods, the method based on the total probability theorem gave the best results for the flood damage analysis containing zero-damage, and the KD model method is not suitable for the flood damage analysis.

Does Huckleberry Have A Prayer?
In Mark Twainâ€™s Huckleberry Finn, the concepts of prayer, religion, and spirituality are introduced early on in the novel, and their influence on Huckâ€™s character and their role in the overall story is evident regardless of the theory of criticism that is employed for interpretation. A New Critic scours the text for conflicts, symbols, and resolutions while examining word choice in an effort to determine the literal meaning (Bressler 45-48). A Reader-Response Critic, particularly a subjective critic who advocates the readerâ€™s worldview over the text, reads the text and then relies on her own past experiences to give it meaning (Bressler 67). When these practices are employed, the Reader-Response Critic and the New Critic find that prayer and religion are essential components in the development of Huckâ€™s character as well as the perception of it.
Huck first mentions prayer when describing dinner at the Widow Douglasâ€™s home. He explains that â€œyou couldnâ€™t go right to eatingâ€ because you had to wait until a prayer was â€œgrumbledâ€ (Twain 33). From the beginning, there is conflict involving prayer because it impedes on Huckâ€™s desire to eat his dinner right away, and this gives Huck a reason to dislike the practice of praying. Huck never details exactly what the prayer states; he only refers to its â€œgrumblingâ€ sound, implying that he regards it as nothing more than discontented muttering. As a Sunday School teacher at a church, I have spent a lot of time with children who were just becoming familiar with praying. In the beginning, they often view it as a chore that is simply something that has to be done before a meal. However, unlike most chores, I have rarely seen a child dislike it, probably because they are in a clerical setting and have been told prayer pleases God. Huck, however, seems to be indifferent to praying and God, and I believe this is because he has not accepted them to be superior concepts like the children at my church have.
Huckâ€™s disinterest in religion is again evident when the Widow Douglas tries to teach him about Moses and the Bulrushers. Though he was â€œin a sweat to find out all about himâ€ (Twain 33), Huck loses interest as soon as he realizes Moses has been dead for a long time. Huck is concerned with the here and now, something that he can relate to, and because Moses lived eons before he did, Huck feels there is nothing to learn from him, as â€œhe takes no stock in dead peopleâ€ (Twain 33). A few children in my Sunday School class have the same attitude, but most of them appreciate the Bible and wish to learn its stories, even if they are thousands of years old. Their interest is again accounted for by their acceptance of God and their desire to know more about Him. Huck, however, has not accepted God and thus has no reason to mull over Him.
When Miss Watson tells Huck about heaven and hell, Huckâ€™s reaction indicates that he does not comprehend God or the significance of His presence, which is what Miss Watson is so desperately trying to stress. Upon hearing about â€œthe bad placeâ€ (Twain 33), Huck declares that he would like to go there, justifying his claim by expressing his desire to go somewhere else. This shows that while Huck may be oblivious to God and His legacy, he is not oblivious to the world around him or his own desires. He wants adventure, specifically adventure away from Miss Watson. When she tells him that she is going to heaven, Huck sees â€œno advantage in going where she is goingâ€ (Twain 33), and Huck resolves that â€œhe wouldnâ€™t try for itâ€ (Twain 33). His aspiration for adventure is again evident when Miss Watson offers a bland description of heaven by telling that life there is simple and consists of nothing more than singing and playing a harp â€œall day long forever and everâ€ (Twain 33). Huck is not impressed at all by this, a strong indicator that he wishes his life to be multifaceted and spontaneous rather than simple and predictable. The prospect of heaven presents two conflicts, the first is being with Miss Watson and the second is facing an eternal unadventurous existence. Huck resolves these conflicts by deciding he will go to â€œthe bad placeâ€ and enjoying the fact that Tom Sawyer will be there with him. As a Sunday School teacher, I have never had a child tell me that he or she wanted to go to hell, and I believe Huckâ€™s decision is based solely on Miss Watsonâ€™s inability to put across the notions of heaven and God. She condescendingly tells Huck about heaven, pompously bragging that she will be going there, while failing to realize that Huck is simply not grasping the true significance of either the good place or the bad place. She is overlooking Huckâ€™s desires and his belief in his own purpose, which is essential in fostering a relationship with God.
In the third chapter, Huck assumes an active role in prayer. For the first time, Huck tells of his own experiences praying, a practice Miss Watson encourages. â€œShe told me to pray everyday, and whatever I asked for I would getâ€ (Twain 39), Huck relays, but he finds that when he asks for material items, he does not always get them. When he asks Miss Watson to pray for the things he is praying for, she tells him he is a fool but refuses to offer an explanation why, and Huck is unable to figure it out on his own. Prayer again presents Huck with conflict, as it fails to help him obtain the things he wants, something he believes it is guaranteed to do. He also again finds conflict with Miss Watson, who condemns Huck for believing she should pray for materialistic things without offering any reason for her disapproval. This time, however, he gives prayer a second thought, as he takes time to think about it. He ponders why people are unable to improve their situations through prayer, a sign that he has accepted a concept of prayer, albeit a distorted one. Though a resolution is not fully reached at this point, it is evident that progress is being made, as Huck is becoming more open to the prospect of prayer. When I talk to children about praying, I assure them that they can pray for whatever they want while stressing that God will answer as He sees appropriate. Miss Watson fails to explain the relationship between God and prayer, something that Huck is unable to comprehend on his own. I feel Miss Watson segregates Huck and God, as she continues to fall short of truly explaining the concepts of religion.
The Widow Douglas is able to convey the principles of prayer and God more effectively than Miss Watson. When Huck cannot make sense of why people cannot obtain material things from prayer, he asks the widow who explains that praying results in â€œspiritual giftsâ€ (Twain 40). When he does not understand, the widow elaborates, and eventually Huck comes to realize that he has to put other people first. Even though he decides there is no advantage in doing so, Huck is still open to the Widowâ€™s ideas, mainly because she explains them. Listening as the widow describes God and comparing that depiction to the one Miss Watson relays, Huck concludes there are two different Gods. Conflict arises when Miss Watson demolishes the beautiful idea of God that the widow has relayed. This conflict is resolved when Huck chooses the widowâ€™s God, and even though he doubts that God would want him because he is â€œignorantâ€ and â€œornery,â€ Huck seems to be content with leaving whether or not he is accepted up to God. I believe the barrier between God and Huck increases because of Miss Watson. She continues to describe a God that is not just or loving, which is simply not how God is. Though I sometimes teach children who are mischievous, I always keep in mind that they are Godâ€™s children first and foremost, and my responsibility is to convince them of that to the best of my ability. By not teaching Huck that he is an important to God, Miss Watson continues to keep God and His legacy away from Huck.
Huck views prayer and religion as impediments because he has not been fully educated in their true significance. Two people, Miss Watson and the Widow Douglas, try to teach him about God and prayer, but they do so in different ways, which confuses Huck. He wants adventure but never recognizes that a life with God is an adventure. He wants to pray for things that are important, but he fails to understand that the important things in life are not materialistic. He wants to understand the things that Miss Watson is telling him, but she refuses to explain them to him. Huck struggles to ascertain a relationship with God because he is unable to acquire a sufficient understanding of Him. Because he does not immediately accept the

History of DAISY
The DAISY study - The D iabetes A uto I mmunity S tudy in the Y oung - started in July 1993. The primary goal of DAISY is to learn how genes and the environment interact to trigger the onset of type 1 diabetes, the third most common chronic disease in children. In order to do this, the study follows two unique groups, children with a diabetic relative (either a sibling or parent), and children at an increased genetic risk (without a diabetic relative). While investigators have been able to find some of the most important genes which may increase the chances of developing the disease, the environmental factors and their interaction with these genes is still in question. Areas of interest are viruses, dietary factors, immuniztions, and social stressors. Continued follow-up through the child's important developmental stages will help us to gain a better understanding of the nature of diabetes, which may eventually lead towards prevention.

Maori Poi Dance, New Zealand 1913
Maori Poi Dance, New Zealand 1913.
"Poi" as an art form originated in the Māori in New Zealand.
The origin of Poi itself is relatively little studied, mainly because oral traditions are known. The Ur-Poi were an invention of Maori women and consisted of two equally long branches that were connected at their ends with flax. The other ends are put into the fire and brought it to burn in order to achieve an effect in the dark.
The Poi dance was originally used by the Maori women to maintain flexibility of their hands, and of the men in order to promote the necessary strength and coordination in a fight. Poi were also used as a training tool for other ancient weapons like Mere or Patu.
Poi spinning is kinesthetic related to staff rotation or pen spinning, since crossing the manipulation of a rotating object to be kinetic center, stands in front of and adjacent to both sides of the body and not on throwing and catching objects. The traditional Poi game is about a thousand years old and is regarded by the descendants of the original inhabitants of New Zealand today as a cultural tradition.

How to Make Sugardine Antiseptic
How to Make Sugardine Antiseptic
sugardineSugardine antiseptic is well known to many who deal with horses, however, it is rarely discussed for use in people. Now, read my disclaimer and realize I am not a doctor, so do your own research.
Basically sugardine is an antiseptic that uses the antibacterial properties of both pure sugar and iodine to prevent and kill infections. It is primarily used to treat abscesses and thrush on the hooves of horses, but it can be used in many other ways. As a side benefit to the prepper, it is cheap and easy to make as well as being effective if used properly.
While it is true that a dilute sugar solution will feed bacteria and mold – its how we get all sorts of good alcoholic drinks, when sugar is highly concentrated it sucks the moisture right out of bacteria so that it cannot live. Have you ever had white table sugar grow any bacteria or fungus while it's just sitting out on your counter?
When you add the iodine to make a paste, the iodine provides not only a second line of defense, but holds the sugar together so you can pack it around the wound. Otherwise, just sprinkling sugar on the wound would not hold enough sugar to keep the blood and other fluids from diluting enough so that it would feed the infection instead of killing it.
Basically, if you have a soft tissue would like a cut, abscess, or burn, you would put the sugardine on the wound and cover with a bandage. If the wound is leaking, you want to replace the sugar on a regular basis as if you let it get waterlogged; it will do more harm than good.
When making the sugardine, its best to start with the an amount of sugar close to the amount of finished product you want and slowly add the betadine or Povidone until you get the thick peanut butter texture. Otherwise, you will most likely use too much liquid and have to add sugar repeatedly until you end up with way more sugardine that you intended.
 - Table Sugar
 - 10% povidone iodine (or the more expensive but easier to find betadine)
 1. mix one part 10% povidone iodine to two parts white sugar.
 Add more or less sugar to reach desired consistency.
 It should be like thick honey or peanut butter when all mixed together.
 2. Put the sugardine in a container with a lid.
The mixture will need stirring now and then but it will never go bad.
For more information and as a means to find more resources, please look at the attached article from the American Farriers Journal.

What is the significance of the veil in the Harry Potter series? What does it mean? Why is it never explained?
When asked, JK Rowling responded saying: It's been there as long as the Ministry itself.
As stated on the Veil page on the Harry Potter Wikia:
The veil is located deep within the Department of Mysteries, which contains many of mysteries of the wizarding world. I believe the significance of it is greater than the mystery it represents. As J.K. Rowling has said, "It's been there as long as the Ministry itself."
This artifact presents something historically significant, although it is impossible to say how. In the fifth movie and book, it is significant because Bellatrix shot a spell at Sirius and sent him through the veil, never to be seen again. In the movie, he was dead before he entered the veil, having taken an Avada Kedavra curse. In the book, the spell Bellatrix used may not have been the Killing Curse and so the veil may have been Sirius' cause of death, rather than a method of body disposal.
