How many RPMs does a CD spin at?
It depends. The old phonograph records spun at a constant speed (for example, 33 or 45 revolutions per minute).
That made it easy to make a turntable to handle them, but it meant that the music recorded near the outside of the record had better sound than the music recorded on the inner grooves.
A CD solves this by varying its speed as it plays, so that the speed of the bumps below the laser beam always stays constant.
That means that as the CD begins playing, the music on the inside groove (yes, the album starts on the inside and works its way toward the outside) sounds as good as the music near the outside.
On the inside grooves, a CD spins at a rate of 200 revolutions per minute and gets as fast as 500 rpm as the laser beam approaches the outside edge.
About Karen Hill
4 thoughts on "How many RPMs does a CD spin at?"
 1. No, Outside edge has farther to go, so must spin faster to cover that distance. Think of an 800m running Track, outside lane gets a head start.
 2. How could the outside spin faster than the inside..
 RPM = Revolutions per minutes..
 Yes the outside might travel faster but it does "EXACTLY" the same number of revolutions per minute otherwise it wouldnt be a solid disc.
 3. The device has variable speed. As the laser nears the outer portion of the cd the device increases rpm. The cd does not spin at two speeds simultaneously.

Interactive paper tearing
We propose an efficient method to model paper tearing in the context of interactive modeling. The method uses geometrical information to automatically detect potential starting points of tears. We further introduce a new hybrid geometrical and physical-based method to compute the trajectory of tears while procedurally synthesizing high resolution details of the tearing path using a texture based approach. The results obtained are compared with real paper and with previous studies on the expected geometric paths of paper that tears. Keywords: paper tearing, virtual paper, developable surfaces, modelling, animation.

How do you play the game washers?
When playing a game of washer toss players, stand directly next to the box. Your foot should be in line with the cup inside the box. To determine who will "pitch" first, both players will line up and pitch a washer at the opposite box. Whoever gets closer to the box will be the first to toss; this is called the diddle.
Click to see full answer.
Simply so, what are the rules for the game of washers?
The game field consists of two washer pits, each containing one recessed cup of 4 inches in diameter. The distance from the cup centers is 25 feet. Each player throws three washers toward the opposite cup. Players are not allowed to step in front of the box.
Furthermore, how do you score in washer toss? TOSSING TALLIES Points are scored based on how close to the cup or hole the washers are thrown. Once all eight washers are tossed, the points from the round are added together. However, only one team will finish with points in each round because of cancellation scoring.
Also to know, how many washers do you throw?
What is a washers tournament?
Washers is a game of skill, similar to Horseshoes, in which individuals or teams compete against one another in an effort to be the first to reach a winning score of 11, 17 or 21 points. The game consists of two washer pits located opposite one another, each with a recessed cup.

Licensing and Regulatory Boards and Commissions
Nevada Dairy Commission
Dairy Commission Administrative History
The Nevada Dairy Commission was established by the Nevada Legislature in 1955 for the purpose of ensuring that an adequate and continuous supply of nutritious, wholesome, fluid milk and dairy products is available to Nevada consumers. Laws and regulations allow the Dairy Commission to monitor the dairy industry through auditing and investigative activities. The Dairy Commission is dedicated to promoting a business climate that is economically viable for those who produce and process dairy products in Nevada.
The original legislation established that it is the policy of the state of Nevada to promote, foster and encourage intelligent production and orderly marketing of commodities necessary to its citizens, including milk; and to eliminate speculation, waste, improper marketing, unfair and destructive trade practices and improper accounting for milk purchased from producers.
The purpose of the act to establish the Dairy Commission was:
- To provide funds for administration and enforcement of the act, by assessments to be paid by producers of fluid mild and fluid cream or both, and from licenses issued to distributors.
- To authorize and enable the commission to prescribe marketing areas which are necessary due to varying factors of costs or production, health regulations, transportation and other factors in said marketing areas.
- To authorize and enable the commission to formulate stabilization and marketing plans.
- To enable the dairy industry with the aid of the state to correct existing evils, develop and maintain satisfactory marketing conditions and bring about a reasonable amount of stability and prosperity in the production and marketing of fluid milk and fluid cream.
The original legislation in 1955 established a Commission of five members: one producer, one distributor, one producer-distributor, one operator of a retail store, and one member a representative of the consuming public. The Commission appointed employees necessary to carry out the provisions of the legislation.
The Dairy Commission is funded from fees collected through licenses, permits, and assessments on regulated dairy products. It does not receive funds from the State General Fund.
The 1955 legislation classified fluid milk into three classes with class one being milk marketed as milk, class two being ice cream and class three being butter and cheese. It also directed the Commission to hold public hearings in the State Marketing Areas to determine Stabilization and Marketing Plans for these areas.
The legislation did not provide adequate funds for the Commission to operate so it returned to the Legislature in 1957 and received supplemental legislation. This included increasing the Commission to nine members. The new Dairy Commission had its first meeting on May 22, 1957 and employed as its first Secretary-Administrator Clarence J. Cassady.
The Commission established three Marketing Areas for Nevada which were the Western Marketing Area based in Reno, the Eastern Marketing Area based in Ely, and the Southern Marketing Area based in Las Vegas. Public hearings were held in these Marketing Areas in 1956 and 1957 to establish area Stabilization and Marketing Plans which set minimum prices necessary to accomplish the purpose of the legislation. The categories of these minimum prices established were producer, wholesaler, and retailer. This price fixing on the producer, wholesale, and retail levels became the most controversial of all the duties of the Dairy Commission. The Commission always emphasized that these were floor prices and it was very rare for a retailer to sell milk anywhere near the floor and that high milk prices could not be blamed on the Nevada Dairy Commission.
Over the years the nine member commission which was made up of members of the Dairy industry was thought to be an inadequate regulator of the industry as too many of the members had conflicts of interest. A climax came in the mid-1970s when scandal ran through the Nevada dairy industry involving illegal rebates and kick back payments. In 1976 a Nevada Legislative Bulletin recommended a large overhaul of the Dairy Commission; the 1977 Legislature followed through with the interim study recommendations to change the makeup and the purpose of the Nevada Dairy Commission.
The 1977 legislation reduced the number of the members of the Dairy Commission to three and decreed that one member shall be a public accountant or a certified public account, one member shall be an agricultural economist, and one member shall be experienced in banking or finance. The legislation for the management of the Commission was greatly rewritten and the way that the Dairy Commission did its business greatly changed. Public hearings and commission meetings became much less contentious and the number of applications that were rejected dropped. The price fixing powers of the Commission were greatly reduced as minimum retail prices could no longer be set by the Commission. This legislation and restructuring of the Commission led to only minimum wholesale prices being set by the Commission through a formula established by the staff and members of the Dairy Commission for each of the classes of fluid milk.
The Nevada Dairy Commission when established in 1955 was placed administratively under the Governor's Office as one of the boards and commissions whose members were appointed by the Governor. In 1993 the Commission became a unit of the new Department of Business and Industry. The members of the Commission continue to be appointed by the Governor and the Executive Director of the Commission continues to function as the Secretary of the Commission.

Hindi/Urdu: baiThnaa vs. baiTh jaana or baiTh lenaa
Discussion in 'Indo-Iranian Languages' started by eskandar, Oct 4, 2013.
 1. eskandar
 eskandar Moderator
 English (US)
 What are the semantic differences between these three verbs? My feeling is that while baiThnaa is the basic verb, baiTh jaana conveys motion ("to go sit") and baiTh lenaa would be equivalent to the English "to take a seat". Have I understood correctly?
 It also seems to me that, for example, baiTh jaa'o would be a more direct (maybe even more forceful?) command ("go sit down!") compared to baiTh lo ("take a seat"). Is that right?
 Finally, I would appreciate recommendations for a good (preferably somewhat comprehensive) source for these types of compound verbs in Hindi/Urdu. Dictionaries typically offer only the simple verb form, so aside from listening to contextual use it's hard to know when to say X karo vs. X kar lo or what have you, and I fear that my over-reliance on simple (non-compund) verbs makes my speech sound stilted.

 eskandar SaaHib "baiThnaa" on its own means both "to sit" and "to sit down". The "jaanaa" in "baiTh jaanaa" to the best of my understanding has not to do with the person going from A to B but (possibly) his stature going from a sanding position to a seated position. Therefore, if my logic is correct,"baiTh jaanaa" is a more emphatic form of "baiThnaa". Let's use a couple of very simple sentences.
 e-SaaHib yahaaN baiThiye
 e-SaaHib yahaaN baiTh jaa'iye
 To me, the latter gives not only more emphasis to the act of sitting but also it seems politer than just saying "baiThiye".
 I am not aware of "baiTh lenaa" but for the causative "biThaanaa", one has "biThaa lenaa/denaa".
 B. SaaHib ne e-SaaHib ko apne paas biThaa liyaa aur kuchh raaz-daarii kii baateN karne lage!
 A. SaaHib ne Lakhnau kii sair karaane kii xaatir hameN ek sunsaan kuuche meN biThaa diyaa aur xud nah jaane kahaaN Ghaa'ib ho ga'e!
 Platts does go into compound verbs but I am not aware of a book on compound verbs as such. Any good grammar book covers this aspect of Urdu and Hindi.

 eskandar SaaHib, jaanaa in these verbal forms does not relate to motion (go and...). They need not be translated by parsing them. They cover an aspect of a verb, that is completion. They do provide an emphatic tone and while I agree with QP SaaHib's remarks, suppose I am shouting baiTho! it will not have this effect when I shout baiTh jaa'o! The stress is on jaa'o. I imagine it, in the terms of language, as... baiTh[e hu'e ho ]jaa'o, equivalent to become seated - the action should be completed.
 khaanaa khaa'o - can mean both do start eating or eat it up
 khaanaa khaa jaa'o means eat your food up.
 You cannot parse it and translate, like in '' maiN uTh baiThaa''. May I ask you how you understand this sentence?

 Thanks, both of you.
 I thought I had heard "baiTh lo" used but perhaps I misheard. (Is anyone else familiar with this compound?)
 Thanks QP SaaHib, I found an overview in Schmidt's "Urdu: An Essential Grammar" which was useful but not as comprehensive as I'd like.
 That's a very helpful way of thinking about it, thank you marrish SaaHib.
 If I understand it correctly, it's idiomatic and means "I got up/sat up". So your point is well-taken that I should similarly understand "baiTh jaana" as a single unit of meaning and not parse it according to its individual parts.

 eskandar Sb. as has been conveyed to you the term jaanaa here doesn't imply / indicate motion but is a more emphatic means of saying something and it also has nothing to do with a change in stature from standing to sitting position!
 We also say khaa / k_haa jaanaa (to devour; eat / consume (destructively).) instead of khaanaa /k_haanaa (verb, to eat), naaraaDh (ناراض) ho jaanaa, bigaR (بگڑ) jaanaa, etc. etc.

I want to check if a string only contains the sign in the above expression, just want to make sure no more weird sign like #%&/() are in the strings.
I am wondering if there's any difference between these two regular expression? Did the beginning and ending sign matter? Will it affect the result somehow?
share|improve this question
When inside of []s, it's best to put the '-' character, when used to match the character '-', at the end of the [], as in [A-Za-z0-9_-]. Otherwise it's possible to misread your form as "9 to underscore" before seeing that it's actually '0 to 9, -, and '. It also sometimes happens that people change, say, 'A-C-' to 'ABC-_' and forget that changing the first - affects how the second is interpreted. – Andrew Dalke Dec 14 '11 at 17:44

The beginning and end sign match the beginning and end of a String.
The first will match any String that contains zero or more ocurrences of the class [A-Za-z0-9-_] (basically any string whatsoever...).
The second will match an empty String, but not one that contains characters not defined in [A-Za-z0-9-_]
share|improve this answer
Python regular expressions are anchored at the beginning of strings (like in many other languages): hence the ^ sign at the beginning doesn't make any difference. However, the $ sign does very much make one: if you don't include it, you're only going to match the beginning of your string, and the end could contain anything – including the characters you want to exclude. Just try re.match("[a-z0-9]", "abcdef/%&").
In addition to that, you may want to use a regular expression that simply excludes the characters you're testing for, it's much safe (hence [^#%&/()] – or maybe you have to do something to escape the parentheses; can't remember how it works at the moment).
share|improve this answer
Python offers two match methods, match and search - make sure you use the right one, as search is not anchored. – Mark Ransom Dec 14 '11 at 15:40
Yes it will. A regex can match anywhere in its input. # will match in your first regex.

text: The present challenge with all-oxide thermoelectric modules is their poor durability at high temperatures caused by the instability of the metal-oxide interfaces at the hot side. This work explains a new module concept based on a hybrid p-n junction, fabricated in one step by spark plasma co-sintering of Ca3Co4-xO9+δ (CCO, p-type) and CaMnO3-δ/CaMn2O4 (CMO, n-type). Different module (unicouple) designs were studied to obtain a thorough understanding of the role of the in situ formed hybrid p-n junction of Ca3CoMnO6 (CCMO, p-type) and Co-oxide rich phases (p-type) at the p-n junction (>700 °C) in the module performance. A time-enhanced performance of the modules attributed to this p-n junction formation was observed due to the unique electrical properties of the hybrid p-n junction being sufficiently conductive at high temperatures (>700 °C) and nonconductive at moderate and low temperatures. The alteration of module design resulted in a variation of the power density from 12.4 (3.1) to 28.9 mW/cm2 (7.2 mW) at ΔT ∼ 650 °C after 2 days of isothermal hold (900 °C hot side). This new concept provides a facile method for the fabrication of easily processable, cheap, and high-performance high-temperature modules.

What is a squirrel midden?
Basically, a squirrel's favorite spot to eat. The squirrel midden is the mess of leftovers squirrels leave after eating.
Squirrel Midden or their Picnic Table
One favorite food of the red squirrel is the spruce cone. Sitting on their favorite branch, stump, or wherever, they pull the outside bits of the cone off, letting them fall to the ground below, and eat the seeds inside. The piles of left over spruce cone bits below are often easily found around a spruce forest floor. They can get pretty big, some reported as large as garages.
Squirrels also hide or store their food for the winter. They do not always remember where they have hidden some of the spruce cones. Often you will see holes around the midden where they may or may not have had a successful search. Some of the forgotten ones may grow into spruce trees.
Why store food? Red squirrels do not hibernate, they remain active through out the winter. The extra caches of food can come in handy when supplies are low during the cold months.

Poverty in Portugal
Portugal is usually known as a hotspot for tourists; a country filled with breathtaking historical sites and exquisite cuisine. Even though it may look like a luxury spot for vacation from the outside, Portugal is actually a country filled with economic and financial problems. Behind the array of castles, cathedrals and towers lay people living on the streets because of unemployment and children that are suffering. Why is poverty in Portugal such a big problem?
Poverty in Portugal: Top 10 Facts
 1. There are almost 2.6 million people living below the poverty line in Portugal, according to the National Statistics Institute. 487,000 of the citizens living in poverty in the country are under the age of 18.
 3. Portugal is known as one of the European countries that work the most, although, the hourly wage for workers is extremely low compared to other countries in Europe.
 4. Parents have to work multiple jobs, leaving them with less time to spend with their children. Due of this, students have been known to act out more and come to school not having eaten a proper breakfast.
 5. Unemployment is one of the main causes of poverty in Portugal. In 2018, the unemployment rate dropped down to 7.9 percent.
 6. After the 2008 recession, Portugal did not progress economically compared to the other countries around the world. Economic growth has been slowing down since then.
 7. A lot of families are forced to live in shacks or shambled housing due to poverty in Portugal. The need for suitable housing in the country is increasing, especially in urban areas.
 8. Portugal has the highest rate of HIV/AIDs in all of Western Europe.
 9. Child labor is common in the northern and central parts of Portugal. Many children under the age of 16 are made to beg on the streets and even have to leave school in search of work.
 10. Elderly citizens and children are more likely to be living in poverty in Portugal than any other group of people. The elderly are the most dominant demographic in Portugal, especially in more rural areas.
What is the Future of Portugal?
Portugal's president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa mentioned that citizens should not be simply pretending that poverty doesn't exist in their country. It is indeed disturbing that in Portugal almost 2.6 million people are at risk of poverty.
In March at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, President de Sousa discussed his national strategy for increasing the growth of employment, education, housing and health to hopefully eradicate poverty in Portugal. He said that he believes the country had been in a rut since the financial crisis and a global strategy must be implemented immediately to eradicate it.

8.4 LMP on a Three Node Network, Constant Marginal Cost
8.4 LMP on a Three Node Network, Constant Marginal Cost
Now that you've seen the basic idea of LMP calculations, we'll move on to the three node network. This will be more complicated because we'll need to use our power flow adjustment calculations as we did in a previous lesson. We will go through a couple of different versions - one with constant marginal costs and one with linear marginal costs.
Our example with constant marginal costs is based on the three node network in the figure below. The marginal cost of Generator A is $5/MWh and the marginal cost of Generator B is $2/MWh. In this example we will impose some capacity constraints on the generators - Generator A can produce at most 10 MW and Generator B can produce at most 7 MW. Demand at Node C is 10 MWh.
3 node network labeled A,B,C, equal resistance. Node 1: MC = $5. capacity= 10MW, Node 2: MC = $2, Capacity = 7MW. Node 3: Demand = 10MWh
Figure 8.6: A three node Network
Source: This image by S. Blumsack © Penn State University is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
First, we will clear the market and calculate flows without imposing any limits on the transmission lines. The market-clearing solution is for Generator B to produce 7 MWh and Generator A to produce 3 MWh. The SMP is $5/MWh. Flows in the network are calculated as:
F BC = 1 3 G A + 2 3 G B =5 2 3 MW F AC = 2 3 G A + 1 3 G B =4 1 3 MW F AB = 1 3 G A - 1 3 G B =- 4 3 MW
Since there is no transmission congestion in the network, we have that the LMPs are all identical and equal to $5/MWh.
Now we will impose congestion on the system by assuming that the maximum possible flow on Line (B,C) is 5 2/3 MW (which was our flow solution above). We will also assume that demand increases to 11 MWh, so we need to redispatch the generators to avoid overloading Line (B,C). We calculate the redispatch as follows, using the same technique as in Lesson 4:
ΔF BC = 1 3 ΔG A + 2 3 ΔG B =0
 = 1 3 ΔG A + 2 3 ( 1-ΔG A )=0
 - 1 3 ΔG A + 2 3 =0
 ΔG A =+2MWh, ΔG B =-1MWh
We now have GA = 5 MWh and GB = 6 MWh. Since marginal costs are constant, we have:
LMP(A) = $5/MWh; LMP(B) = $2/MWh
LMP(C) = 2 × $5 + (-1 × $2) = $8/MWh
The LMPs at the generator nodes (A and B) are equal to the generator marginal costs. The LMP at Node C reflects the costs of the actions needed to deliver an additional MWh to Node C (increasing generator A by 2 MWh, which imposes a cost of $5/MWh; and reducing output at generator B by 1 MWh, which saves $2/MWh).

The effects of process and outcome accountability on judgment process and performance
This article challenges the view that it is always better to hold decision makers accountable for their decision process rather than their decision outcomes. In three multiple-cue judgment studies, the authors show that process accountability, relative to outcome accountability, consistently improves judgment quality in relatively simple elemental tasks. However, this performance advantage of process accountability does not generalize to more complex configural tasks. This is because process accountability improves an analytical process based on cue abstraction, while it does not change a holistic process based on exemplar memory. Cue abstraction is only effective in elemental tasks (in which outcomes are a linear additive combination of cues) but not in configural tasks (in which outcomes depend on interactions between the cues). In addition, Studies 2 and 3 show that the extent to which process and outcome accountability affect judgment quality depends on individual differences in analytical intelligence and rational thinking style.

Inclusion problems for one-counter systems
MetadataShow full item record
We study the decidability and complexity of verification problems for infinite-state systems. A fundamental question in formal verification is if the behaviour of one process is reproducible by another. This inclusion problem can be studied for various models of computation and behavioural preorders. It is generally intractable or even undecidable already for very limited computational models. The aim of this work is to clarify the status of the decidability and complexity of some well-known inclusion problems for suitably restricted computational models. In particular, we address the problems of checking strong and weak simulation and trace inclusion for processes definable by one-counter automata (OCA), that consist of a finite control and a single counter ranging over the non-negative integers. We take special interest of the subclass of one-counter nets (OCNs), that cannot fully test the counter for zero and which is subsumed both by pushdown automata and Petri nets / vector addition systems. Our new results include the PSPACE-completeness of strong and weak simulation, and the undecidability of trace inclusion for OCNs. Moreover, we consider semantic preorders between OCA/OCN and finite systems and close some gaps regarding their complexity. Finally, we study deterministic processes, for which simulation and trace inclusion coincide.


How do we prepare potassium cyanide from potassium ferrocyanide?
It is something which I am curious about, but cannot find the answer. I am studying inorganic chemistry but this reaction cannot be found.
Until about 1900, potassium cyanide was produced by melting dry potassium carbonate with dry potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II): $$\ce{K4[Fe(CN)6] + K2CO3 -> 6KCN + FeO + CO2}$$ However, the product contains potassium cyanate, which is approximately formed as follows: $$\ce{K4[Fe(CN)6] + K2CO3 -> 5KCN + KOCN + Fe + CO2}$$
In a small scale, dry potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II) is melted in a covered porcelain crucible. It is heated as long as nitrogen escapes. $$\ce{K4[Fe(CN)6] -> 4KCN + N2 +FeC2}$$ The iron carbide sinks to the bottom and the molten potassium cyanide can be poured off.
In addition to Loong's excellent answer, I'm going to shed some light on the last process i.e. the decomposition reaction of potassium ferrocyanide.
Actual reaction is this:
$$\ce{3K4[Fe(CN)6] ->[\Delta]12KCN + Fe3C + 5C + 3N2}$$
The thermal decomposition of potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) to produce potassium cyanide, iron carbide, carbon and nitrogen. This reaction takes place at a temperature near 650°C.(source)
As always nitrogen gas escapes, iron carbide and carbon sinks to the bottom and the molten potassium cyanide can be poured off.

How to Change Text Style in Discord
author avatar
Apr 07, 2021• Proven solutions
Discord is a brand name that many people have heard about, and this instant messaging and content distribution service is rapidly gaining popularity among many groups of users. A unique feature of this platform is that it facilitates community-based communication, where users who share certain interests can form their own private chats that are known as servers.
While its user interface is quite simple, Discord allows users to deploy a variety of advanced communication tools, from textual content to audio and video streams. It's natural that users want to express their thoughts creatively, so there is a lot of genuine interest in learning how to change the visual look of the messages through the use of basic text formatting. In this article, we will discuss how to change text style in Discord and provide detailed instructions for activating various options, such as using bold or italic letters or underlining a part of the text.
Let's start with the software module that makes it all possible.
Part 1: How Does Discord Text Engine Work?
Beneath the surface, Discord runs on a powerful engine called Markdown, which regulates how text is displayed on the pages visible to users. It's an application of markup language that completely depends on textual symbols as commands, making it quite simple for users who are not skilled at advanced programming to alter the look of the text.
Basically, Markdown allows you to enter a few symbols and it will interpret them as commands for changing the text style, for example bolding or underlying certain word or sentence. For highlighting blocks of text, there is a specific library named Highlight.js that allows simple text marking for stylistic emphasis.
This approach is very practical and easy to learn, so long-time users of Discord are able to change text style as they type without thinking too much about it. Really, it's all about following a couple of simple rules and knowing the most important combinations of characters (tags).
Part 2: How to Change Text Style in Discord with Markdown?
As we mentioned previously, Markdown is completely text-based and has a very simple syntax. All you need to do to apply special formatting to your text is to enter a few special characters at the right places, and the appropriate effect (bold, italic…) will appear in the chat. Keep in mind that you can easily combine the formatting styles by using multiple commands at the same time.
Here is an overview of the most important options for changing text style in Discord, and you can preview the text style in real time before sending to friends:
Change Text Style in Discord - Basic
How to Bold Text in Discord?
A simple way to use bold text style is to add two asterisks (**) at the beginning and the end of the text that you want to have this effect.
How to Italicize in Discord?
Italicized style of text will be displayed in the chat if you put one asterisk character (*) before and one more after the selected text.
How to Write Strikethrough and Make Discord Cross Out Text?
In order to get a strikethrough effect on your text, you will have to type two tilde characters (~~) on either side of the section of text that you want to change, and then you will create an appearance of a crossed-out portion of text.
How to Make Discord Underline Text?
Underline effect is also available on Discord and equally simple to activate. Just type two underscore dashes (__)at the start and the ending of the text selection to apply it.
How to Combine Text Formatting Options in Discord?
Once you mastered the basic effects and know the commands without thinking, it's time to consider more complex text transformations that combine more than one effect. In principle, Markdown lets you do this just as easily, for as long as you know all the right combinations of characters that produce the desired effect. Here are the detailed instructions for some of the most frequently utilized combos:
Underlined and Italicized text
For this elegant combination, use two underscore dashes (__) followed by one asterisk (*) before and after the selected text.
Discord Underlined and Italicized text
Underlined and Bolded text
Put two underscore dashes (__) and add two asterisk characters (**) to both sides of the selection to get those two effects together.
Discord Underlined and Bolded text
Underlined, Italicized, and Bolded text
This combination is achieved by placing two underscore marks (__) and three straight asterisks (***) at the beginning as well as the end of the text.
Discord Underlined & Italicized Bolded text
Bolded, Italicized, underlined, and crossed out text
You can combine all four style changes as well – just use two tildes (~~), two underscores (__) and three asterisks (***) on either side of your text.
Discord Underlined & Italicized Bolded crossed out text
Part 3: How to Use Code Block for Discord Text Formatting?
In addition to simple font transformations, Discord allows users to engage in advanced text formatting with incredible ease. One way to do it is to deploy code blocks, which can be activated with the backtick character ( ' ) placed on the beginning and the end of a text section. This command will highlight the chosen part of the text while preserving blank space around it for extra emphasis of your message. However, if you use three consecutive ( ' ) signs before a block of text and separate the text into several lines by pressing enter, the result will be a series of highlighted lines that form a single code block. This option is simple enough that even beginners with no programming abilities can easily learn how to use it, and it has some practical applications that savvy Discord users are very fond of.
Part 4: How to Change the Text Color in Discord Message?
It's not possible to alter the default text color from the native user interface in Discord. However, there is a simple solution to this problem that involves the scrip mentioned earlier in the article. This Javascript-based library can transform the normal text into a code block consisting of three lines, where the middle line would be your selection of text in an alternative color. This is a neat workaround that's very simple to activate using the same kind of text-based commands described above.
To execute this smart trick, you should create a simple, three-line block. In the top line, you need to put three backtick characters ("') along with a code phrase corresponding to the text color you would like to use. In the second line, you should type your entire text normally, while the bottom line should include three more backticks. You can create new lines by pressing the Shift and Enter keys at the same time.
Here is a detailed video tutorial for creating customized text in a range of different colors with all the relevant code phrases.
FAQs About Discord Text Formatting
 1. What is the default Discord font?
Discord uses the same basic font all over the entire platform, including all chats between users and in your profile info. This is Uni sans font, which is quite simple and belongs to the sans serif family of fonts that are known for good readability on almost any background.
 1. How do you get different fonts on Discord?
It's not possible to change the font directly from the Discord app, but this limitation can be circumvented if you find a good Discord font generator on the internet. Those are very easy to use, so you can simply type your text in a chosen font and copy it back into Discord already formatted.
 1. How to make a hidden text in Discord?
The creation of a hidden text message that requires direct user action to reveal is possible in Discord and requires a so-called spoiler tag. If you precede your message with the text /spoiler or type two slash bars ( //) at either side, it will be hidden from other users except for those who decide to view it and indicate their desire by clicking or tapping on it. Messages of this kind appear highlighted with gray background in the message stream on a Discord chat.

It is easy to fish crabs
Have you tried to catch crabs and do you know how to do this?
If you are by the water near a bathing bridge boat bridge, then you are right where you can catch crabs, because they live in the seaweed around the bridge posts. You can also find them around the poles at the pier or under the big rocks that are laid out to break the waves.
It's just getting started. The only thing you need is a string that you tie on the stick that will be your fishing rod and a cloth clamp that you attach to the end of the string along with a small stone. The cloth clamp must keep the bait and ensure that the crab comes up. You must also have a bucket to store the crabs in. The bait can be mussels from the shore edge or a little topping from the fridge.
If you are fishing with mussels, you must punch the shell or open it in some other way so that the crab can get hold of the mussel.
When you feel that there are bites, it is about pulling the cord gently and getting the crab down into the bucket. The crabs can do well without water for a couple of hours, but then they must be released and they are not long to find the water again.
Enjoy the crab fishing!

In a number of key ways shipbuilding is different than any other industry that builds big things. In a nutshell, that means problems common to other industries require different approaches, and challenges unique to shipbuilding cannot be solved using general tools.
What makes shipbuilding different?
Ships and offshore structures are typically already being engineered before the design is approved and built before the engineering is complete. This means that pre-existing engineering work, and already built sections, need to be considered when the resulting changes that need to be made are handed down.
Ships, and shipbuilding, are governed by regulations and regulatory bodies that apply to shipbuilding. Unlike buildings and other onshore facilities, the only projects that approach the same scale, a single ship operates in a variety of environmental, regulatory, and political landscapes as it travels around the globe.
Large shipbuilding programs consist of tens or dozens of vessels of the same class. Even between two sister ships, the differences can be significant. This differs quite a bit from any other industry – consumer goods are designed once and manufactured millions of times, buildings are typically designed and built once, even airplanes are engineered once and built hundreds, if not thousands, of times with comparatively small variations between each plane and the next. Shipbuilders have to get it right quickly while managing a large amount of change between each ship.
Managing a huge amount of change
To get things right quickly, while managing that large amount of change, your organization needs to:
- Allow your design and engineering teams to manage and track changes throughout the project.
- Facilitate dynamic communication between engineering and production departments.
- Ensure that any change across sister ships is seamless and transparent.
- Have your teams working in the same unified platform and on the same drawings that will be delivered to class societies.
[eBook] Why Shipbuilding Requires Shipbuilding Specific Solutions
If you're a shipbuilding executive, you'll already be closely familiar with the challenges you face within your industry, so make sure to look out for solutions for and insight into the problems you encounter every day. For those who have had less exposure to shipbuilding, this eBook will provide you with a fantastic overview of why the more unique aspects of shipbuilding demand shipbuilding specific solutions.Access the eBook

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of number sense based instruction on sixth grade students' self efficacies and performances. Self efficacies consist of self efficacy towards mathematics and self efficacy towards number sense. Students' mathematics performances consist of their number sense, problem solving achievement, mathematics achievement and perceiving of daily life mathematics. In this study pre-test-posttest control group design which is a quantitative research designs was used. The study was conducted in two sixth grade classes from a public school in Çankaya, Ankara in the 2012-2013 academic year, lasting total fifteen weeks including 13 weeks implementation of lesson plans and 2 weeks implementation of scales. In this process, while the students in the experimental group were passing through a number sense based instruction, the students in the control group continued with the intruction which is composed with the guidance of the text book. In the study "Numeracy Test" was used in order to determine the number sense of students. In order to measure self-efficacy towards mathematics "Self-Efficacy Perception Scale", to measure self-efficacy towards number sense "Self-Efficacy Towards Number Sense Scale", to measure awareness of daily life mathematics Mathematics in Daily Life Scale", to measure problem solving achievement "Problem Solving Test" and mathematics course final grade in order to determine mathematical achievements were used. The data were analyzed by MANOVA analysis using the SPSS 15.0 package program. The results revealed that number sense-based instruction had a significant effect on students' number sense, awareness of daily life mathematics and, problem solving achievement compared to the instruction that not based on number sense. There was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of their self efficacies towards mathematics and number sense and the mathematics achievement.

Doctoral Advisor-Advisee Pairing in STEM Fields: Selection Criteria and Impact of Faculty, Student and Departmental Factors
International Journal of Doctoral Studies • Volume 10 • 2015 • pp. 343-363
Unlike the doctoral programs in places where students are paired with advisors at the time of admission itself, most US programs require the students to choose their advisors, and the advisors to formally accept the students as advisees. Little research has been done to understand how students and faculty approach this mutual selection and pairing process. This paper examines this process in STEM departments (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), with specific focus on factors influencing the decisions. Based on focus groups and interviews of doctoral students and faculty from STEM departments in an American university, we identify criteria applied by students and faculty in making their choices. Students were found to assess faculty on available funding, area of research, personality, ability to graduate students fast, and career prospects for students, and faculty to assess students on their qualifications/credentials and perceived ability to contribute to research. We also found that this mutual assessment was not objective, but influenced by perceptions associated with faculty gender and career stage, and student nationality. In the end, whether students and faculty were actually paired with persons of their choice depended on departmental factors including prevalent pairing practices, restrictions on student numbers per faculty, and reward structure. We discuss implications of the findings for research and practice.

Validation of the Mental Illness Sexual Stigma Questionnaire (MISS-Q) in a sample of Brazilian adults in psychiatric care
Objective: We evaluated the psychometric properties of a new instrument "Mental Illness Sexual Stigma Questionnaire" (MISS-Q).
Methods: We interviewed 641 sexually active adults (ages 18-80) attending public outpatient psychiatric clinics in Rio de Janeiro about their stigma experiences.
Results: Nine factors were extracted through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and labeled: 'individual discrimination by others';'staff willingness to talk about sexuality';'staff and family prohibitions';'sexual devaluation of self'; 'perceived attractiveness';'mental illness concealment'; 'perceived sexual role competence'; 'withdrawal'; and 'locus of social-sexual control'. 'Withdrawal' and 'locus of social-sexual control' showed poor psychometric properties and were excluded from further analysis. The remaining seven factors had high factorial loadings (.39 to.86), varying from sufficient to optimal reliability (Ordinal α ranged from.57 to.88), and good convergent and discriminant validity.
Conclusions: The resulting MISS-Q is the first instrument assessing mental illness sexual stigma with demonstrated psychometric properties. It may prove useful in reducing stigma, protecting sexual health, and promoting recovery.
Keywords: Stigma; psychometric assessment; severe mental illness; sexual and romantic relationships.

Which breeds of dogs are the most stubborn?
Most dogs are stubborn for the same reasons as humans. Some of them are simply born stubborn and masterful, some are born leaders and have corresponding temper, and some simply do not know how to behave. However with patience and with proper training, even the most stubborn dog can become indispensable friend and protector.

Stubborn rocks
Some breeds are harder to train than others. Some of these breeds can grow aggressive if not trained properly. Among the small breeds are dachshunds, chihuahua, pug and dwarf pincher – considered one of the most stubborn. All kinds Terriers, from Parson to Bull Terriers, have a well-known stubborn character. Among larger breeds, relatively rebellious working and protective breeds such as boarders Collie, Rottweiler, Doberman, Newfoundland and Golden Retriever.
Perhaps this is not stubbornness
Your dog may not be stubborn, sometimes she may just feel that she has no good reason to do what you mean ask for. Ask yourself what is the benefit for the dog to commit any action, and give her something that she can appreciate. For example, all terriers were bred for hunting, not for entertainment. So if you want to play with him just give him a reason to return the ball to you.
Some dogs were bred to perform certain tasks. without human intervention and therefore need little praise from the owner. For example, hunting or herding dogs could not to do their job if they expected attention from people. In this the group, in addition to terriers, also gets the majority of huskies and spaniels. Always consider for what purpose your breed.
There are other reasons.
Some dogs, such as shepherds, are especially sensitive to the emotions of his master. Your mood can greatly affect your pet's behavior and make learning difficult. More he upsets you, the more he upsets himself. Besides, often dominant behavior in some dogs can be caused external factors, such as annoying behavior of others. Or a dog as it grows older can just sometimes marry framework "as children do.

- Defined in:
The types of stances an exploit can take, such as passive or aggressive. Stances indicate whether or not the exploit triggers the exploit without waiting for one or more conditions to be met (aggressive) or whether it must wait for certain conditions to be satisfied before the exploit can be initiated (passive)
Constant Summary collapse
- Aggressive =
Used to indicate that an exploit takes an aggressive stance. This means that the exploit proactively triggers a vulnerability.
- Passive =
Used to indicate that an exploit takes a passive stance. This means that the exploit waits for interaction from a client or other entity before being able to trigger the vulnerability.

Symmetric decompositions of cost variation
European Journal of Operational Research, Volume 285 p. 1189- 1198
In this paper a number of symmetric, empirically implementable decompositions of the cost variation (in difference and ratio form) of a production unit are developed. The components distinguished are price level change, technical efficiency change, allocative efficiency change, technological change, scale of activity change, and price structure change. Given data from a (balanced) panel of production units, all the necessary ingredients for the computation of the various decompositions can be obtained by using linear programming techniques (DEA). An application is provided.

You are viewing documentation for Kubernetes version: v1.18
Edit This Page
Pod Overhead
FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.18 [beta]
When you run a Pod on a Node, the Pod itself takes an amount of system resources. These resources are additional to the resources needed to run the container(s) inside the Pod. Pod Overhead is a feature for accounting for the resources consumed by the Pod infrastructure on top of the container requests & limits.
In Kubernetes, the Pod's overhead is set at admission time according to the overhead associated with the Pod's RuntimeClass.
When Pod Overhead is enabled, the overhead is considered in addition to the sum of container resource requests when scheduling a Pod. Similarly, Kubelet will include the Pod overhead when sizing the Pod cgroup, and when carrying out Pod eviction ranking.
Enabling Pod Overhead
You need to make sure that the PodOverhead feature gate is enabled (it is on by default as of 1.18) across your cluster, and a RuntimeClass is utilized which defines the overhead field.
Usage example
To use the PodOverhead feature, you need a RuntimeClass that defines the overhead field. As an example, you could use the following RuntimeClass definition with a virtualizing container runtime that uses around 120MiB per Pod for the virtual machine and the guest OS:
kind: RuntimeClass
 name: kata-fc
handler: kata-fc
 memory: "120Mi"
 cpu: "250m"
Workloads which are created which specify the kata-fc RuntimeClass handler will take the memory and cpu overheads into account for resource quota calculations, node scheduling, as well as Pod cgroup sizing.
Consider running the given example workload, test-pod:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
 name: test-pod
 runtimeClassName: kata-fc
 - name: busybox-ctr
 image: busybox
 stdin: true
 tty: true
 cpu: 500m
 memory: 100Mi
 - name: nginx-ctr
 image: nginx
 cpu: 1500m
 memory: 100Mi
At admission time the RuntimeClass admission controller updates the workload's PodSpec to include the overhead as described in the RuntimeClass. If the PodSpec already has this field defined, the Pod will be rejected. In the given example, since only the RuntimeClass name is specified, the admission controller mutates the Pod to include an overhead.
After the RuntimeClass admission controller, you can check the updated PodSpec:
kubectl get pod test-pod -o jsonpath='{.spec.overhead}'
The output is:
map[cpu:250m memory:120Mi]
If a ResourceQuota is defined, the sum of container requests as well as the overhead field are counted.
When the kube-scheduler is deciding which node should run a new Pod, the scheduler considers that Pod's overhead as well as the sum of container requests for that Pod. For this example, the scheduler adds the requests and the overhead, then looks for a node that has 2.25 CPU and 320 MiB of memory available.
Once a Pod is scheduled to a node, the kubelet on that node creates a new cgroupA group of Linux processes with optional resource isolation, accounting and limits. for the Pod. It is within this pod that the underlying container runtime will create containers.
If the resource has a limit defined for each container (Guaranteed QoS or Bustrable QoS with limits defined), the kubelet will set an upper limit for the pod cgroup associated with that resource (cpu.cfs_quota_us for CPU and memory.limit_in_bytes memory). This upper limit is based on the sum of the container limits plus the overhead defined in the PodSpec.
For CPU, if the Pod is Guaranteed or Burstable QoS, the kubelet will set cpu.shares based on the sum of container requests plus the overhead defined in the PodSpec.
Looking at our example, verify the container requests for the workload:
kubectl get pod test-pod -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[*].resources.limits}'
The total container requests are 2000m CPU and 200MiB of memory:
map[cpu: 500m memory:100Mi] map[cpu:1500m memory:100Mi]
Check this against what is observed by the node:
kubectl describe node | grep test-pod -B2
The output shows 2250m CPU and 320MiB of memory are requested, which includes PodOverhead:
 Namespace Name CPU Requests CPU Limits Memory Requests Memory Limits AGE
 default test-pod 2250m (56%) 2250m (56%) 320Mi (1%) 320Mi (1%) 36m
Verify Pod cgroup limits
Check the Pod's memory cgroups on the node where the workload is running. In the following example, crictl is used on the node, which provides a CLI for CRI-compatible container runtimes. This is an advanced example to show PodOverhead behavior, and it is not expected that users should need to check cgroups directly on the node.
First, on the particular node, determine the Pod identifier:
# Run this on the node where the Pod is scheduled
POD_ID="$(sudo crictl pods --name test-pod -q)"
From this, you can determine the cgroup path for the Pod:
# Run this on the node where the Pod is scheduled
sudo crictl inspectp -o=json $POD_ID | grep cgroupsPath
The resulting cgroup path includes the Pod's pause container. The Pod level cgroup is one directory above.
 "cgroupsPath": "/kubepods/podd7f4b509-cf94-4951-9417-d1087c92a5b2/7ccf55aee35dd16aca4189c952d83487297f3cd760f1bbf09620e206e7d0c27a"
In this specific case, the pod cgroup path is kubepods/podd7f4b509-cf94-4951-9417-d1087c92a5b2. Verify the Pod level cgroup setting for memory:
# Run this on the node where the Pod is scheduled.
# Also, change the name of the cgroup to match the cgroup allocated for your pod.
 cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/kubepods/podd7f4b509-cf94-4951-9417-d1087c92a5b2/memory.limit_in_bytes
This is 320 MiB, as expected:
A kube_pod_overhead metric is available in kube-state-metrics to help identify when PodOverhead is being utilized and to help observe stability of workloads running with a defined Overhead. This functionality is not available in the 1.9 release of kube-state-metrics, but is expected in a following release. Users will need to build kube-state-metrics from source in the meantime.

📖HomeBack In ClearSCADA, alarm limits are inclusive in the processing. This means that the High High, High, Low and Low Low alarms will be raised when the process values reaches or passes the limit. For example, if the High limit is 80, the alarm will be raised as soon as the point value hits 80.
The Full Scale and Zero Scale limits are used for out of range processing. The alarms based on these limits (Engineering Units Exceeded) are raised when the limit is transgressed. For example, for a point where the range is 0-100, the value 100 is valid and so will not be flagged as overrange. When the value hits 100.01, the overrange alarm is raised.

Massive Animal Feces are the special excrements currently only produced by Titanosaur in ARK: Survival Evolved. From time to time, they automatically drop from these creatures. If you eat this you will probably die.
Usage[edit | edit source]
Massive Animal Feces can be used as fertilizer and add 35,000 points to fertilization when they are put in the inventory of a Crop Plot.
They can be combined with Thatch in a Compost Bin to produce Fertilizer.
However, it is the only Feces which is partially not worth doing it, it would be better to directly insert them into Crop Plots, as a Fertilizer has less fertilization points (54,000) than 2 or 3 Massive Animal Feces separated (70,000 or 105,000). Therefore, it would be more efficient to combine any other animal feces with thatch to produce fertilizers. The only way it could be somewhat efficient to combine it into fertilizer is if one would use a single Massive animal Feces with 2 other smaller variants. (Excluding two Large Animal Feces or one Large Animal Feces and one Medium Animal Feces, as the sum of their separated fertilization points would still be greater than the Fertilizer's)
Unlike the other size variations of feces, as of Patch 243.2, Massive Animal Feces cannot be used for taming Dung Beetles. However, they can be converted by the Dung Beetles, given a high enough weight stat, into 16 bags of Fertilizer and 14 Oil per feces.[1]

An advanced analytics optimization application for reviewing grant applications developed for funding competitions conducted by a leading Health Research institute
Client: The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is Canada's premier federal agency for health research. CIHR operates with a mission to create scientific awareness, knowledge translation and effective health care products and services for the Canadian healthcare system.
Challenge: CIHR conducts research funding competitions multiple times a year. During the competition, the management of research papers, its assignment to the right reviewers and paper re-assessment was being carried out manually. CIHR needed consultancy services to automate these processes for assistance in getting optimized results with no room for errors. A tool was required to design and build a flexible advanced analytics model for grant application reviewer assignments. SSI performed a detailed analysis of the challenge and proposed a dual-phase mathematical model as a solution for the funding competition delivery process.
Solution: SSI developed an application for the optimization of CIHR's grant application reviewer assignment. The model consisted of two phases:
- The first phase involved the assignment of applications to the right reviewers based on their competency and ability to state conflicts and reviews.
- The second phase involved the re-assignment of these applications to the right individuals for peer-reviews after the reviews (and comments) from the first-phase responses were received.
The following rules were applied to the model to resolve constraints identified before the automation of the whole process.
- English applications have to be reviewed by English reviewers and French applications have to be assigned to reviewers with the ability to review in French.
- Reviewers are excluded based on the defined criteria (for example, reviewers cannot be assigned to their own application)
- Assignments are not granted where the minimum suitability threshold is not met.
- The number of reviewers assigned to each application has to be greater than, equal to, or lesser than the associated minimum or maximum input respectively.
- The number of applications assigned to each reviewer has to be greater than, equal to or lesser than the associated minimum or maximum inputs respectively.
Implementation of these rules did not only resolve the constraints but also helped in managing the whole assignment process more efficiently and effectively.
Result: With the introduction of an application with a scoring model that took into account, multiple limitations and variables allowed CIHR to make its research funding process efficient, accurate and transparent. It allowed the CIHR team to reduce the number of man-hours needed to manage each funding project.


Spring Data Neo4j Webinar Follow Up
Hey everyone,
As promised, here are the rest of the questions that we weren't able to cover during the Spring Data Neo4j session:
What's the difference between RelatedTo and RelatedToVia?
RelatedTo refers to the node-entities at the other end of the relationship, while RelatedToVia refers to relationships themselves (as relationship-entities).
Is there any facility for "supernode" relationship navigation? For example, if Movie has 1M Ratings, but I only care about obtaining the Director, to have an "automatic" IndexedRelationshipExpander
You might add indexing to the relationship-entities to write the index (with Indexed. You can also look into using computed properties with GraphTraversal and TraversalBuilder or go for template.traverse() or repository.traverse() to retrieve those (and use a custom expander there).
Can I open the same Neo4j graph database in two different applications using Embedded?
No. For embedded, only one JVM can access the store files at a time. You would have to make your own mini-server exposing a protocol (TCP, RMI, HTTP, Websockets, JMX) on top of that database to interact with it from other processes.
For more info on Spring Data Neo4j check out the following resources:


Page Parameters
A page parameter is an arbitrary variable used to pass information into a Skuid page. There are different ways to pass in page parameters depending on the context and use case.
Types of page parameters
Including parameters in a URL is a common way to pass and retrieve information between pages in web development. Similarly, parameters can be passed between Skuid pages using:
 1. Query string parameters
 2. URL merge parameters
Query string parameters
The most commonly used way to pass parameters is by including them in a query string, which is a collection of identifiers and key-value pairs preceded by a question mark. For example:
In this example, the query string passed to the server, everything that comes after the?, is a parameter, felines, requesting all records of felines with the value "lion."
Page parameters act the same way in Skuid: they allow additional information to be passed into a Skuid page.
On Skuid on Salesforce, page parameters are added to query strings by model conditions, actions, and render/enable conditions through the Page/URL Parameter option, and, in some components, in the query string property.
When using page parameters in query string parameters, there are two important rules to keep in mind:
 1. The parameters must always come after a question mark (?), which indicates the beginning of a string of one or more URL parameters.
 2. Every subsequent URL parameter must be prepended with an ampersand (&).
As long as query string parameters are used in this format, they are accessible within a Skuid page.
Passing parameters into query strings is different in Lightning Experience. For more information, see Using Page Parameters In Salesforce Lightning.
URL Merge Parameters
Used on Skuid Platform, page parameters are included within URLs through URL merge parameters. For example,{myParameter}.
On Skuid Platform, you can use URL merge parameters in model conditions, actions, render/enable conditions through the Page/URL Parameter option. They can also be used while constructing an app, and the pages within the app, by inserting URL merge parameters in the app and/or the page URLs. They can also be used for creating REST model conditions.
Using Page Parameters
Builders can access page parameters with model conditions, actions, render/enable conditions, and through the Page/URL Parameter option on some Skuid features.
Values are accessible through the {{$Param}} global merge variable.
For example, {{$Param.myRouteParameter}}.
They may also be passed to Page Includes by setting the component's Query String property to point to this global merge variable.
Using the Go to URL action with URL merge parameters
When creating a link with URL merge parameters in Skuid Platform, the process is similar to that outlined in Build an app navigation bar using the Go to URL action.
The key difference is that you point the URL to a URL merge parameter. This merge parameter could be a context-dependent merge variable or a global merge variable.
For example, the marketing/orders path has a table listing each order, displaying some general information about each order. That table could have a row action that redirects to the following URL:
This redirect URL sends end users to a new route (/marketing/orderdetails), just like the redirect URLs from the Build an app navigation bar using the Go to URL action topic mentioned above. The key difference is the added URL merge parameter, {Id}, which references the model's Id field. This means the context will be determined by the row the end user clicks, passing in that row's Id value when clicked.
So, if the user clicks an order that has an Id of AuXun109274009, Skuid sends the user to the detail page with the row item's Id in the URL parameter: /marketing/orderdetails/AuXun109274009
The final step is setting a condition on the detail page that looks for the URL merge parameter:
 1. Click the Models tab in the App Elements pane.
 2. Click the Orders model.
 3. Add a new condition for the Id field.
 4. Set the Value as follows:
 - Content: Page/URL parameter value
 - Value: Id
 5. Set its condition state to Always On.
With this condition set, this model always looks for the URL parameter named Id for the matching record Id.
Page parameter examples:
 1. In this example, no parameters are provided.
 2.{accountId}: In this example, when a user visits this URL, Skuid pulls the "accountId" from the requested record and passes it to the URL. If the record's accountId was AuXun109274009, the URL the user would see is
 3.{accountId?}: The addition of the? makes the parameter accountId optional, so if there wasn't a value for accountId, the user would be directed to /accounts instead of receive a Page Not Found error.
Unless a parameter is marked optional with?, end users will see a Page Not Found error if they navigate to that page without the parameter in the URL.
Using Page Parameters In Salesforce Lightning
When working in Lightning experience, builders will often use record Ids to create corresponding record detail pages. The Skuid Page Lightning component can determine the record Id based on the way Lightning structures URLs.
However, if you want to pass in other parameters besides an Id, they must be namespaced and added via query string parameters.
For example, adding the default namespace prefix to the parameter accountId creates c__accountId. Non-namespaced parameters are removed from the URL on page load.
It's important to remember that, when namespacing URL parameters in Lightning, any reference made to them in a condition, action, etc, on a Skuid page is also namespaced.
If moving pages from Salesforce Classic to Lightning, you'll need to update the page parameters and any conditions, actions, etc with the namespace prefix in order to maintain functionality.


Research suggests many individuals 'unaware of IHT rules' when gifting money
Research carried out by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and the National Centre for Social Research (NCSR) has suggested that only 45% of individuals seeking to gift money are aware of inheritance tax (IHT) rules and exemptions.
According to the IFS, the research aimed to 'analyse individuals' awareness of IHT rules and exemptions'. It also 'explored the prevalence of gifting in the general population and how it varied between different groups', and considered the 'nature of gifting'.
The research found that just 25% of so-called 'gifters' have a 'working knowledge' of IHT rules in relation to gifting. However, many individuals have sought additional information on the rules.
12% stated that they wouldn't have given a gift had IHT rules or exemptions not been in place. The research suggested that, of those who reported that they were influenced by IHT rules, only 38% said that passing on assets was a purpose of the gift.
Older people are'more likely' to be gifters than young people, according to the data. 24% of individuals aged 70 and over have gifted in the past two years, compared to just 3% of those aged between 18 and 29.
