Model-Prototype Study of Overland Flowby I. Muzik, Univ of Calgary, Canada,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Hydraulic Engineering
Abstract: Similarity of overland flow hydrographs was investigated. Similarity ratios based on Froude number modeling were tested by using: 1) computed hydrographs by kinematic wave equations, 2) observed hydrographs from a laboratory watershed system. The derived scaling ratios were found to be valid for computed hydrographs. Results obtained from observed hydrographs indicate discrepancies which might be attributed to unsteady flow conditions, transition from laminar to turbulent flow and variable flow resistance due to raindrop impact. These factors were not accounted for in the computed hydrographs.

Dynamometer: Introduction and Types
Show/Hide Page Index
A dynamometer is a device used for measuring the torque and brake power required to operate a driven machine.
Dynamometers can be broadly classified into two types. They are:
 1. Power Absorption Dynamometers: Power Absorption dynamometers measure and absorb the power output of the engine to which they are coupled. The power absorbed is usually dissipated as heat by some means.
 Examples of power absorption dynamometers are Prony brake dynamometer, Rope brake dynamometer, Eddy current dynamometer, Hydraulic dynamometer, etc.
 2. Power Transmission Dynamometers: In power transmission dynamometers the power is transmitted to the load coupled to the engine after it is indicated on some scale. These are also called torque meters.
Some of the different types of dynamometers are discussed below in brief.
Prony Brake Dynamometer:
Pony Brake is one of the simplest dynamometers for measuring power output (brake power). It is to attempt to stop the engine using a brake on the flywheel and measure the weight which an arm attached to the brake will support, as it tries to rotate with the flywheel.
Prony Brake
Figure 1: Prony Brake
The Prony brake shown in the above consists of a wooden block, frame, rope, brake shoes and flywheel. It works on the principle of converting power into heat by dry friction. Spring-loaded bolts are provided to increase the friction by tightening the wooden block.
The whole of the power absorbed is converted into heat and hence this type of dynamometer must the cooled.
The brake power is given by the formula
Brake Power (bp) = 2π NT
Where T = Weight applied (W) × distance (l)
Rope Brake Dynamometer:
The rope brake as shown in below figure is another device for measuring brake power of an engine. It consists of some turns of rope wound around the rotating drum attached to the output shaft. One side of the rope is connected to a spring balance and the other side to a loading device. The power is absorbed in friction between the rope and the drum. Therefore drum in rope brake requires cooling.
Rope brake
Figure 2: Rope Brake
Rope brake dynamometers are cheap and can be constructed quickly but brake power can't be measured accurately because of change in the friction coefficient of the rope with a change in temperature.
The brake power is given by the formula
Brake Power (bp) = π DN (W − S)
where D is the brake drum diameter,
W is the weight of the load and
S is the spring balance reading.
Eddy Current Dynamometer:
The working principle of eddy current dynamometer is shown in the figure below. It consists of a stator on which are fitted some electromagnets and a rotor disc made of copper or steel and coupled to the output shaft of the engine. When the rotor rotates, eddy currents are produced in the stator due to magnetic flux set up by the passage of field current in the electromagnets. These eddy currents are dissipated in producing heat so that this type of dynamometer requires some cooling arrangement. The torque is measured exactly as in other types of absorption dynamometers, i.e., with the help of a moment arm. The load in internal combustion engine testing is controlled by regulating the current in the electromagnets.
Eddy current Dynamometer
Figure 3: Eddy Current Dynamometer
The following are the main advantages of eddy current dynamometers:
 1. High brake power per unit weight of dynamometer.
 2. They offer the highest ratio of constant power speed range (up to 5 : 1).
 3. Level of field excitation is below 1% of total power being handled by the dynamometer. Thus, they are easy to control and operate.
 4. Development of eddy current is smooth hence the torque is also smooth and continuous under all conditions.
 5. Relatively higher torque under low-speed conditions.
 6. It has no intricate rotating parts except shaft bearing.
 7. No natural limit to size, either small or large.
Hydraulic Dynamometer:
A hydraulic dynamometer as shown in the figure below works on the principle of dissipating the power in fluid friction rather than in dry friction.
Hydraulic Dynamometer
Figure 4: Hydraulic Dynamometer
 - In principle, hydraulic dynamometer construction is similar to that of a fluid flywheel.
 - Hydraulic dynamometer consists of an impeller or inner rotating member coupled to the output shaft of the engine.
 - The impeller in this dynamometer rotates in a casing filled with a fluid.
 - Due to the centrifugal force developed in the outer casing, tends to revolve with the impeller, but is resisted by a torque arm supporting the balance weight.
 - The frictional forces generated between the impeller and the fluid are measured by the spring balance fitted on the casing.
 - The heat developed due to the dissipation of power in Hydraulic dynamometer is carried away by a continuous supply of the working fluid.
 - The output power can be controlled by regulating the sluice gates which can be moved in and out to partially or wholly obstruct the flow of water between the casing and the impeller.
Absorption Dynamometers:
Transmission dynamometers are also called torque meters. They mostly consist of a set of strain-gauges fixed on the rotating shaft and the torque is measured by the angular deformation of the shaft which is indicated as the strain the of the strain gauge. A four arm bridge is used to reduce the effect of temperature, and the gauges are arranged in pairs such that the effect of axial or transverse load on the strain gauges is avoided.
Transmission Dynamometer
Figure 5: Transmission Dynamometer
Above figure shows the transmission dynamometer which employs beams and strain gauges for a sensing torque. Transmission dynamometers measure brake power very accurately and are used where continuous transmission of the load is necessary. These are mainly used in automatic units.
All Comments
 - I find the dynamometer very fascinating. I've always wondered how you can check your brake power. There are so many different types. Is there a type of dynamometer that is better for measuring the torque or brake power?

Social Science & Medicine, forthcoming
As natural experiments, famines provide a unique opportunity to test the health consequences of nutritional deprivation during the critical period of early life. Using data on 4,972 Chinese born between 1956 and 1963 who participated in a large mental health epidemiology survey conducted between 2001 and 2005, we investigated the potential impact of famine exposure in utero and during the early postnatal life on adult mental illness. The risk of mental illness was assessed with the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and eight other risk factors, and the famine impact on adult mental illness was estimated by difference-in-difference models. Results show that compared with women born in 1963, women born during the famine years (_PHONE_) had higher GHQ scores (increased by 0.95 points; CI: 0.26, 1.65) and increased risk of mental illness (OR= 2.80; CI: 1.23, 6.39); those born in 1959 were the most affected and had GHQ scores 1.52 points higher (CI: 0.42, 2.63) and an OR for mental illness of 4.99 (CI: 1.68, 14.84). Compared to men in the 1963 birth cohort, men born during the famine had lower GHQ scores (decreased by 0.89 points; CI: -1.59, -0.20) and a nonsignificant decrease in the risk of mental illness (OR = 0.60; CI: 0.26, 1.40). We speculate that the long-term consequences of early-life famine exposure include both the selection of the hardiest and the enduring deleterious effects of famine on those who survive. The greater biological vulnerability and stronger natural selection in utero of male versus female fetuses during severe famine may result in a stronger selection effect among men than women, obscuring the deleterious impact of famine exposure on the risk of mental illness in men later in life.

The Kingston Women's Medical College, affiliated with Queen's, was established in 1883 and ran until 1894. It was founded after disgruntled male students forced women out of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Kingston, an early incarnation of Queen's Faculty of Medicine.
The college was originally located in the west wing of Kingston City Hall and had a dissecting room just under the old building's dome. It moved to a house at 75 Union Street in 1890. The college folded for lack of students in 1894, as the small number of women studying medicine in Canada were increasingly attracted to medical schools in Toronto and Montreal.
Women were not re-admitted to medical studies at Queen's until 1943.

How to Roleplay a Death Knight
So, you want to RP the warriors of death that instill fear into the living? There are a few things you should consider.
1.Which Generation of Death Knight are you? (There are commonly 3 but a fourth is possible.)
2.Is it possible and likely that your race would become a Death Knight during that generation?
3.Why would your Death Knight wander in society?
The Generations of Death Knights
Death Knights come in different varieties. The first generation being the death knights of Gul'dan who were made from Orc souls infused in Stormwindian knights bodies. The second generation being the Death Knights corrupted by the Scourge during Arthas' rampage before he became the lich king. And the third generation is the Death Knights of Acherus, hinted in the game to be former Argent Dawn Members, but your backstory can be whatever you want, as long as it works. The possible fourth generation that was mentioned, was discovered during Eastern Plaguelands when Gidwin Goldbraids was kidnapped and almost turned into a death knight by some higher ranking remaining scourge. Aurius Rivendare fits into this category.
How the Death Knights Act
Despite popular belief, Death Knights are not cold, cruel, mindless beings. Take Thassarian for example. Death Knights are in most ways exactly how they were before they became what they are now. They search for a purpose, now that the Lich King is dead, but it's not hard to find one with the current conflicts going on between the Alliance and the Horde.
Death Knights are normally solitary in nature but might summon a minion if they prefer a pawn to use. Death Knights have varying morals, some willing to raise even the most holy of paladins from the grave as their minion.
Unique Qualities of Death Knights
The first generation's abilities are undefined as far as their necromantic powers, the second generation pretty much shares the same powers as the first generation. The Fourth generation possibly different powers.
A unique quality of generation three is that they require a Runeblade to use their magic, contrary to game mechanics a Runeblade is necessary for all their powers. And the saronite armor they don is mostly unpierceable (See Adamantine) and can absorb magics and reflect them back after awhile, this armor is exclusive only to the Undead who can resist Yogg'Saron's whispers. Death Knights have a constant addiction to slaughter and hurt others, sadism a common trait in their kind.
Generation two and four Death Knights do not require a runeblade to use their powers. Generation Three Death Knights need the Runes in their Runeblades to use their powers, although game mechanics doesn't show it. Razuvious tells you a Death Knight can't fight without his Runeblade. This is mainly because third generation Death Knights use Vrykul Rune Magic, while second generation Death Knight use Necromancy, Shadow, Blood or Frost magic.
Anyway, some generation two Death Knights (Those who got a Vampiric Runeblade) are extremely weaker without their Runeblade, as it stores their soul and power. This is the case of Arthas, but not all of generation two Death Knights use this kind of Runeblade or a runeblade at all.
Contrary to belief (Mostly due to game mechanics), Death Knights are Undead and cannot be living for long using their dark powers. Those who take up the Runeblade and use its powers eventually lose their lives to the dark magics and become Undead, as Arthas lost his soul to Frostmourne and was turned Undead. The other way a Death Knight could become a Death Knight other than to become Undead from corruption, is to be killed and raised by a powerful necromancer into a Death Knight. As Death Knights you can manipulate the life you siphon from others to make undead minions or pull your enemies to you, or just strangle them. The Death Knight being Undead is immune to effects of poison, disease, bleeding, as you need to be living in order for those things to really affect you. Death Knights also have a vulnerability to light and holy land as shown at Light's Hope Chapel where the land weakened the Death Knights of Acherus.
Death Knights usually have allegiance to the leader of their current faction. Those free from the scourge or Old Horde likely suit their own needs and crush all opposition, Death Knights when it comes to authority can range from devout to possibly traitorous and as far as personality range from irritable to cold and rational.
Death Knights of the third generation are all the humanoid races. Each one being either a member of the Argent Dawn or a former warrior of the Horde or Alliance, or any other threat to the Scourge. The 2nd Generation consists of only humans and a few high elves or Dwarfs. The first of only human (Orc soul) knights.
The Worgen Death Knights are the former minions of Arugal who fled from him only to die by the hands of the scourge and be raised into their armies, but these are a rare commodity among the Death Knights, not being as abundant as the other races to be turned. Also, Pandaren Death Knights are extremely rare, as only a few of them were traveling around the world before the Lich King (Athas) was defeated.
Death Knights typically have pallid skin and eyes of varying colours, from grey to black to blue. The first generation have red or grey or black, the second generation typically green, to black, to blue. The third generation typically has only blue eyes. Dwarf death knight would usually have blue facial and scalp hair.


text: OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of increasing gas prices on mortality. METHOD: We developed a simulation-based partial equilibrium model that estimated the public health effects of a 20% rise in gas prices. Estimates on price elasticity for gasoline, price elasticity of motor vehicle crashes, relations among gasoline use, air pollution, and mortality were drawn from literature in economics, epidemiology, and medicine. RESULTS: For sustained 20% increases in gasoline prices over 1 year, and assuming other prices and factors were constant, we estimated: 1994 (range, 997 to 4984) fewer deaths from vehicle crashes and 600 (range, 300 to 1500) fewer deaths from air pollution. Combining both, we estimated 2594 fewer deaths. A Monte Carlo simulation involving varying assumptions on elasticities and relations indicated that 95% of the combined reduction in deaths was between 1747 and 3714. CONCLUSION: Results suggest that high gas prices have public health implications.

The Liquid Pre-amps on the Liquid Saffire 56 introduce 11 samples of delay to the audio stream. This is due to the Digital Signal Processing required to emulate the preamps.
Depending on the sample rate you are using, audio passed through inputs 1 and 2 will be the delayed by the following:
|Sample Rate (Hz)||Time Delay (milliseconds)||Offset Distance (centimeters)|
Audio recorded through the Liquid Pres can be moved forward by 11 samples in your DAW to account for the delay, however, in'real world' recording situations the user may choose to ignore this delay.
For stereo recording, either 2 Liquid Preamps should be used, or 2 standard Preamps should be used,
For ensemble recording, where more than 2 preamps are used to record, this delay should cause no audible artefacts. When two microphones are placed in a recording space, regardless of what pre-amps or interfaces are used, there is inevitably a delay between them unless they are placed at exactly the same distance from the source. This will mean that the audio arriving at the two mics, even if they are recording the same source will be non time coherent. The non time coherence - i.e. similar audio but with a delay between each mic, will be significantly more apparent due to the physical mic placement than any delay introduced by the Liquid Preamps.
Users of the Liquid Saffire 56 should set up their microphones exactly the same was as they always do, by moving the microphones around until the sound is right.

In archaeology, a grinding slab is a ground stone artifact generally used to grind plant materials into usable size, though some were used to shape other ground stone artifacts. Some grinding stones are portable; others are not and, in fact, may be part of a stone outcropping. Grinding slabs used for plant processing typically acted as a coarse surface against which plant materials were ground using a portable hand stone, or mano. Portable grinding slabs are referred to as metates or querns. Like all ground stone artifacts, grinding slabs are made of large-grained materials such as granite, basalt, or similar tool stones.

Brisker uses a gentle heating element to warm the interior temperature to ~120 degrees Fahrenheit. Warmer air spreads moisture out, so items inside the Brisker dry out and stay crunchy.
This all works because of the principles of relative humidity. With the air inside the Brisker about 40-50 degrees warmer than room temperature in your kitchen or pantry, humidity and moisture decreases inside of the Brisker relative to the humidity in your kitchen.
Here's a neat video explaining how relative humidity works.


How are students engaging with their careers services?
Friday, March 29, 2019
Are your students engaging with your careers service? We've used responses from the 2019 Trendence UK Graduate Survey to show what students really think of their careers services and how they are engaging with the resources provided to them.
Here are some of our key findings:
Careers services' websites ARE a useful tool
The students who had engaged with their careers services' website found it to be a useful tool, with 69% stating that they had used the website to research and find information on their future career. This emphasises the importance of having a website that is functional, informative and easy to use. However, don't neglect the marketing of the resources available on your website – 11% of the students we surveyed didn't even know that there was a website for them to use!
University careers fairs lead to powerful engagement
In a previous article published on our insights blog, we stated the importance of engaging first-year students at freshers' fairs. The fairs are popular with first-years, with 63% of students reporting that they attended their freshers' fair. Nearly three-quarters (74%) of students also attended their university's careers fairs, with 62% stating that engaging with an employer at a careers fair would make it more likely they would apply for a role. This shows the importance of fairs as a promotional tool for employers as they seek students for placements and graduate roles. For careers services, fairs provide a platform to encourage students to engage with potential employers.
Digital channels are still important tools to engage students
Despite careers fairs being the preferred method of engagement for students with employers, digital platforms still play an important role. Half (50%) of the students surveyed said that receiving an email from their career services promoting roles would also make them apply to an employer, while 31% said that getting a personal message or seeing a post on social media (28%) would encourage them to apply. To emphasise the importance of a multi-channel approach to engagement, 20% of students said that seeing a video about a company on YouTube would increase the likelihood they would engage with an employer.
Most importantly, students are largely satisfied with their careers services
A clear majority of students surveyed were satisfied with their careers services – 65% of students were satisfied or very satisfied with careers fairs, 56% of students were satisfied or very satisfied with the employer fairs and 64% were satisfied or very satisfied with the availability of appointments. However, students were less satisfied with the scope of opportunities offered by their careers services in terms of part-time work and opportunities specific to their field of interest.
To conclude, students are engaging with the resources provided to them by their careers services. The combined approach of fairs and digital communications is successfully encouraging students to reach out and engage with employers. However, there is room for improvement, particularly in the scope of opportunities offered to students in terms of part-time work and for specific fields of interest.
Read the full survey here.
Trendence UK
The Trendence UK Graduate Survey is now its 12th year. In early 2019, 74,748 students took part, making this the most comprehensive assessment of how satisfied students are with the support provided by careers services. To find out in even more detail what your students think of your careers service offer, what uniquely motivates your student population when it comes to careers (and how this differs from other UK undergraduates) and how you can increase the level of participation and engagement amongst your users. For a demo of this type of in-depth analysis and an opportunity to use our data to help improve the outcomes of your graduates please contact or call _PHONE_ 7220.

Plotting Surfaces with R
In this post, I'd like to review some basic options for plotting three dimensional surfaces in R. In addition to producing some eye catching visualizations, plotting surfaces can also help develop one's geometric intuition for the mathematics describing the surfaces.
The first plot below shows a Helicoid surface which is the path a propeller moving at uniform speed along the z-axis would sweep out. You might be familiar with this shape from working with a hand turned steel auger or a helocoid anemometer. The surface is built up from first principles as follows: we consider two open intervals U = {u: \(\in\) (0, 2\(\pi\))} and V = {v: \(\in\) (0, \(\pi\))}, lay down a mesh or grid over the two dimensional open set U x V, compute the parametric representation of the surface in \(R^{3}\), and use the surf3D() function from the plot3D package to render the surface.
M <- mesh(seq(0, 6*pi, length.out = 50),seq(pi/3, pi, length.out = 50))
u <- M$x ; v <- M$y
x <- v * cos(u)
y <- v * sin(u)
z <- 10 * u
surf3D(x, y, z, colvar = z, colkey = TRUE,
 box = TRUE, bty = "b", phi = 20, theta = 120)
The next code block uses the same approach and functions to render half of a torus.
R <- 3; r <- 2
M <- mesh(seq(0, 2*pi,length.out=50), seq(0, pi,length.out=50))
alpha <- M$x; beta <- M$y
x <- (R + r*cos(alpha)) * cos(beta)
y <- (R + r*cos(alpha)) * sin(beta)
z <- r * sin(alpha)
surf3D(x = x, y = y, z = z, colkey=TRUE, bty="b2",
 phi = 40, theta = 30, main="Half of a Torus")
You might test your intuition about the how changing the ratio of R and r alters the look of the torus.
I think surf3D(), which is built on base R graphics, produces high quality visualizations. I really like the crisp, metallic look of the torus. However, although surf3D() allows you to set the viewing angle, it is limited to producing static plots. A first remedy for this might be to consider the plot3d() function in the rgl package which contains functions built on base graphics and the OpenGL standard for high performance graphics. You can use the same code as above, but just swap out surf3D() and replace it with plot3d().
Here is a wireframe version of the half torus that you can rotate with your mouse.
torus <- plot3d(x, y, z, type = "l", col = "blue",
 cex =.3, pch = 1, main = "Half Torus", pch = 20)
rglwidget(elementId = "plot3drgl")
These days, of course, JaveScript has become the preferred rendering engine for interactive plots, and there are several possibilities for creating interactive, JavaScript plots in R including threejs, plotly, and graph3D. Here we show an arresting rendering of two surfaces from the threejs gallery that is built up from the parametric equations.
N = 20000
theta = runif(N)*2*pi
phi = runif(N)*2*pi
R = 1.5
r = 1.0
x = (R + r*cos(theta))*cos(phi)
y = (R + r*cos(theta))*sin(phi)
z = r*sin(theta)
d = 6
h = 6
t = 2*runif(N) - 1
w = t^2*sqrt(1-t^2)
x1 = d*cos(theta)*sin(phi)*w
y1 = d*sin(theta)*sin(phi)*w
i = order(phi)
j = order(t)
col = c(rainbow(length(phi))[order(i)],
 rainbow(length(t), start=0, end=2/6)[order(j)])
M = cbind(x=c(x, x1), y=c(y, y1), z=c(z, h*t))
scatterplot3js(M, size=0.1, color=col, bg="black", pch=".")

How to: Use Relative Time to Access Free/Busy Data
|How to: Use Relative Time to Access Free/Busy Data|
The IFreeBusyData interface in the Free/Busy API uses a concept of relative time, which is the number of minutes since January 1, 1601, expressed in Universal Time (UTC), and is a value of type LONG.
The following are some commonly used relative time values:

ULONG ulrtmMax = 1525252319L
ULONG ulrtmMin = 0L
Use the preceding maximum and minimum relative time values to help verify that your relative time values are valid.
Because NTFS records file times natively in FILETIME format, it might be handy to use the following code examples to convert relative time to and from FILETIME.

Press Releases
Chairman Nadler Statement for the Markup of H.R. 3372, the One Stop Shop Community Reentry Program Act of 2021
Washington, D.C. - Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) delivered the following opening statement, as prepared, during the markup of H.R. 3372, the One Stop Shop Community Reentry Program Act of 2021:
"I am proud to support H.R. 3372, 'The One Stop Shop Community Reentry Program Act of 2021.'
"This bipartisan, bicameral legislation, which passed the Committee and the House last Congress, would authorize grants to community organizations to create centralized reentry intake and coordination centers.
"These centers would serve as the home base for individuals recently released from correctional facilities as they go through the difficult process of rejoining their communities.
"At one stop reentry centers, reentering individuals would be provided personalized, step-by-step assistance to access the resources—both public and private—that are needed to successfully integrate back into their communities.
"At the one stop center, reentering individuals would be given assistance at every step of the way—from the moment they are released until they have the capability to fully rejoin their communities.
"This important legislation recognizes that a comprehensive reentry approach is needed to improve reentry outcomes, which ultimately has the effect of improving public safety.
"The bill adopts a 'whole person' approach that would ensure that all elements of a returning individual's life are supported. This includes transportation to and from appointments, temporary housing, assistance applying for benefits, and job training.
"Additionally, for those who have formal reentry plans, the one stop community reentry centers proposed by this bill would also provide case management and wrap-around support.
"The challenges faced by individuals returning from prison are great, and they warrant the type of support the One Stop Community Reentry Program Act would authorize.
"Unfortunately, the reentry support services that many prisoners receive while incarcerated do not sufficiently prepare them for the transition back to their communities.
"Many incarcerated individuals also have preexisting conditions that make reentry even more difficult. Physical disabilities, mental health concerns, and substance abuse issues further complicate reentry plans and additional support, like those detailed in H.R. 3372, are needed to promote successful outcomes.
"Specialists employed at one stop centers can build relationships with providers, private groups, religious organizations, and public agencies to build networks of support that will help returning individuals get the care and support they need to succeed.
"Inadequate reentry support leads to recidivism and unnecessary financial strain on the community. Both the shortand long-term costs associated with incarceration pale in comparison against the minimal front-end costs associated with a successful reentry.
"Of the few studies that have assessed the effectiveness of reentry services, a number have found that more robust and comprehensive reentry services are better at reducing recidivism and promoting the long-term success of reentering individuals.
"This bill offers greater opportunities for success for individuals returning from prison, as well as their communities.
"I thank Representative Bass, Representative Reschenthaler, and their bipartisan cosponsors, for introducing this important legislation again, and I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the bill."

 1. Open Source
 2. C API (C++ okay too)
 3. ACID
 4. Some level of crash recovery
 5. High [storage] capacity per file
 6. Both key and value are arbitrary binary data
 7. Embedded (like DBM, SQLite, et al.)
GDBM looks particularly attractive. Per the fact that the datum struct uses int dsize; clearly key and value sizes are limited to 2GB, which is fine. However, my problem with GDBM is that I can't find any documentation on the limit to the database file sizes. For example, Berkeley DB provides database files up to 256TB. If this is large enough, then GDBM would be perfect.
Does anyone know the GDBM file size cap? Failing that (or if it's too small) what other suggestions can you make? Does such a beast exist?

If you're using GDBM on a 32-bit (i386) system, the maximum database size is 2GB. If you're using it on a 64-bit system and you compile your app 64-bit, then the maximum database size should be limited by your filesystem.

Mini Light Bar - Small in Size But Big In Performance
by：JINCHU 2020-06-18
A mini light bar is quite compact normally cost under $300. It comes good not just for smaller cop vehicles but also for the bigger ones particularly budget is one of your concerns. These mini light bars make sure that you have a powerful emergency warning signal that can be relied upon. The main issue with a mini bar is its smaller size can mean lesser array of features and a less powerful warning signal. However, what mini bars miss in terms of number LED elements, they more than make up with good technology and optical enhancements. One of extra impressive features in the mini light bar is the utilization of advanced modern technology such as ROC LED technology, total internal reflection technology and light house optics, which help you make the most of this lighting. The technology helps you in maximising the lighting out from the LED elements, sometimes providing good therapy of the various light beam parameters and extending the beam far and wide. The use of optic spreading filters for example, can be useful for expanding the beam on either direction, horizontally and up and down. There are slide in and double Fresnel lenses which are present to help enhance the quality of the beam, ensuring that it travels farther and wider without much dispersion. A mini light bar can also provide 360-degree light distribution, uniformly in all directions. You can come up a bar that includes a pair of LED light strobes with a diamond mirror installed in between them. In other cases, there are LED elements which are beautifully placed in the parabolic centre of chrome or aluminium deflectors. This helps to ensure that the light emanation from the LED elements is collected and then deflected in an outwardly direction. There both are coloured as well as white LEDs of different sizes used in mini bars. Some mini bars have a grouping of 5mm LEDs which usually are used to offer the lighting. The 1, 2 or 5 Watt LEDs are utilized in modules of 4 or 8. Gen III LEDs moved to such small modules provide bright and effective lighting without taking too much disk space. Coloured lenses can provide the chances to flash a multi-coloured beam that can grab the attention with greater potency. A mini light bar with dual coloured LEDs, lenses or filters with flash patterns incorporated in without the requirement of an external flasher, can be greatly efficient in sending across a powerful warning signal. The mini bar and smaller in size can be mounted with ease with the help of swivel brackets or stainless steel ties. It is possible to synchronize the flash patterns belonging to the mini bar with another dash light or deck light bar for a more effective warning point. There are light bars which come without any dark spots or shadows. Some mini bars along with as many as 20 flash patterns, along with default patterns that can be easily operated, through pattern selection push button switches.

Pipe Size notation: NPS vs NB vs DN. Is there any difference?
NPS vs NPB vs DN
Many of us, talk about pipe size either in DN (Nominal Diameter), NPS ( Nominal Pipe Size), or NB (Nominal Bore). Yet these all are notations of pipe size these all have some similarities and differences in terms of use and origin. In this article, you will know a brief explanation about these piping size notations.

I've read article about WorkManager _URL_ and I have the question. In order to use Workmanager, I vae to create that object using admin console and during creating workmanager I can set some properties like thread priority or pool size. In that article we can see java example:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
WorkManager wm = (WorkManager)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/wm/default");
ThreadFactory tf = new WASThreadFactory(wm);
BlockingQueue q = new ArrayBlockingQueue(10);
ThreadPoolExecutor pool = new ThreadPoolExecutor(
1, 10, 5000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, q, tf);
My question is, what happen after putting new values to ThreadPoolExecutor constructor? Is it possible to overwrite WorkManager properties defined in Websphere by that code? What is dependence between values passed to constructor and values defined for Workmanager in websphere using admin console?


Contributing Advent 6: C is for Cookie
Today we start with bugs in PHP's Date/Time extension. There are a fair amount of them and they require some hard needed attention. So this post addresses a number of bugs.
Bug #63776
As usual I started with the most recently filed bugs and ran into bug #63776, which turned out to not be a bug. Titled "strtotime fails with 'at'" it goes about how a date string with at in it (like in "Nov 19, 2012 at 7:03 PM") does not get parsed properly with strtotime() (or really any other parsing routing). strtotime()'s documentation page mentions The function expects to be given a string containing an English date format and will try to parse that format into a Unix timestamp. The word "try" is quite important here. In general, people are a lot better at this sort of thing than computers, as they sense what is part of the data and what is noise. In this case, the parser routine sees the phrase at as a timezone abbreviation, which it does not understand. And because of this, it refuses to parse the string. If you use date_parse() you will see what it actually parsers out of the string:
var_dump( date_parse( "Nov 19, 2012 at 7:03 PM" ) );
which outputs (reformatted):
array(13) {
 'year' => int(2012)
 'month' => int(11)
 'day' => int(19)
 'hour' => int(19)
 'minute' => int(3)
 'second' => int(0)
 'fraction' => double(0)
 'warning_count' => int(0)
 'warnings' => array(0) { }
 'error_count' => int(1)
 'errors' => array(1) {
 [13] => string(47) "The timezone could not be found in the database"
 'is_localtime' => bool(true)
 'zone_type' => int(0)
Which mentions very clearly [13] => string(47) "The timezone could not be found in the database" — the key 13 is the position in the original string.
Bug #64294
The next one, bug #64294, with the title "date conversion problem when dst present" turned out not to be a bug either. Simply forgotten that Daylight Saving Time already had gone away for the year. However, I should point out that parsing a timestamp with: $date = new \DateTime('@ _PHONE_'); always sets the timezone UTC, and not the configured default. This means that:
$timestamp = _PHONE_;
$date = new \DateTime('@'.$timestamp);
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i O'), "\n";
Will always show a timezone of +0000:
2013-10-28 10:00 +0000
Bug #53879
However, there was a bug that needed a fix. Bug #53879, "DateTime::createFromFormat() fails to parse cookie expiration date" talks about parsing a date string such as Mon, 21-Jan-2041 15:24:52 GMT with the factory method DateTime::createFromFormat(). This method takes as first argument a series of format specifiers to signal how the date string should be parsed. It mostly uses the same format letters that the DateTime::format() method uses to output a DateTime object in a specific format.
In this case, the user did not specify his own format, but used one of the predefined constants that is meant for displaying a DateTime object in a format that HTTP Cookies want. The constant DateTime::COOKIE was in fact just the string l, d-M-y H:i:s T. The y here stands for a two-digit year. Specifying the year in two digits appeared in the original RFC 850 but has since then be superseded by a whole bunch of interconnecting and contradicting standards.
The general consensus seems to be what is now on, but that was formerly hosted on a now-defunct page. This pages defines the date format as needed for cookies as:
The date string is formatted as:
This is based on RFC 822, RFC 850, RFC 1036, and RFC 1123, with the variations that the only legal time zone is GMT and the separators between the elements of the date must be dashes.
In PHP, Wdy, DD-Mon-YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT is represented as l, d-M-Y H:i:s T to which I now changed PHP's DateTime::COOKIE constant.
There are plenty more issues, so we'll be coming back to the DateTime extension.

How To Cook Frozen Pizza On A Stovetop (Without Oven)
When you think about the process of making or cooking a pizza, I am sure you are used to the idea of using an oven more than you would consider the idea of using a stovetop. Well, the answer to your wandering is yes, it is possible to cook your frozen pizza on a stovetop.
Many scenarios might force you to use a stovetop for cooking your frozen pizza. Maybe your power supply is out, and you cannot use an oven; maybe the stovetop is all you have, but you still want to enjoy your pizza, or maybe you have just decided to try something different.
The good thing is that you have come to the right place. This article will offer you insight and a guide on how you can prepare your frozen pizza on your stovetop. Hopefully, by the end of this write-up, you will be confident and comfortable to try it out.
How to cook frozen pizza on a stovetop
Before we dive into the process, some things would be essential for you to note. For you to get the best pizza crust, you need to use a non-stick pan. The reason for this is that with the non-stick pan, your frozen dough will not be caught on the pan while you are trying to cook the pizza.
This means you have reduced the chances of your pizza crust getting burnt at the end of the day. If you don't have a non-stick pan in your kitchen, then do well to oil your pan with olive oil; this also reduces any stickiness. If you have an Iron skillet pan, it is also a good option for you.
 1. Place your non-stick or iron skillet pan on your heated stovetop. Please keep the heat at medium temperature. Heat the skillet or the pan for about three minutes.
 2. Please take out your defrosted frozen pizza from the pack and place it into your non-stick pan or the iron skillet. Make sure that the crust of your pizza fits into the pan without having to force it.
 3. Cover your pan with the lid and allow to cook for 10 to 15 minutes on medium heat. It is essential to cover the pan to let the steam within cook the toppings. If the pan you are using doesn't have a lid, you can use aluminum foil paper to cover the pan.
 4. After the specified time, check your crust to be sure that it is well well cooked. If your crust has not cooked correctly, you can add three more minutes to allow it to cook.
 5. When your crust has browned and is crispy, put off the heat, close your lid and let it sit for another 3 to 5 minutes. The pan's heat will give way for your cheese to melt evenly and for the toppings to be cooked appropriately.
 6. Take off the pan from the stovetop, and put your pizza on a large plate. Allow it to cool for a minute or two, then slice it up and serve your delicious pizza.
This is a less convenient way than if you were to use the oven, so you will need to be alert. You have to continually check on the dough to ensure that it receives the right amount of heat and is not burning up.
Advantages of cooking your frozen pizza on a stovetop
 1. One of the advantages of using the stovetop for cooking your frozen pizza is adding less heat to your home. If it is winter, you might be worried that using an oven might heat your home and making it too uncomfortable to stay.
If you do not have a grill, the best way to reduce your house's chances of getting hotter is by using the stovetop for your frozen pizza. You end up with less heat around the house than if you were to use the oven.
 1. Using this method makes you save power; using an oven consumes more electricity. If you are hoping to save some electricity, then this would be the cheaper option for you.
 2. This is a faster method if you are cooking just one or two frozen pizzas. You do not have to go through all the routine of warming up your oven for a very long time. This is faster if you are short on time.
Cons of using the Stovetop
 1. This method of cooking your frozen pizza is less convenient. This is because you have to be alert and, on your toes, ensure that the temperature is okay. You have to be alert when the stove starts smoking, which might require you to reduce the heat. You have to sit and watch your food while it is cooking.
 2. Secondly, with the stovetop, you have to struggle with the uneven distribution of heat. This uneven distribution of heat can cook some parts of your frozen pizza more than other parts. You have to make sure you move your pizza around to make sure all parts are adequately cooked.
 3. There are higher chances of getting a burnt crust if you have not mastered this method. Since you cannot measure the temperature, you can have a burnt crust or a soggy crust. We all know the pizza crust is what makes the pizza enjoyable.
Final thoughts
Using a stovetop to cook your pizza might come in handy, but the truth is that it is not one of the most reliable methods to rely on. If you must use this method, it should be because you have run out of all other options.
If you are hoping to have a wonderful pizza meal, using this method for the first time might not guarantee you that. With the stovetop, you need a lot of trial and error for you to perfect this art. I am not very passionate about using the stovetop for my frozen pizza, but it can work if you badly need a way to fix yourself a meal.

Hundreds of years ago, settlers who came to Fort Worth were greeted by rolling prairies for as far as the eye could see. Today, those welcoming fields have been replaced by growing cities and towns, but Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) remembers this heritage and culture with the annual celebration of Prairie Day.
BRIT's Prairie Day offers family-friendly education about the beauty and importance of the North Texas landscape through hands-on events and activities that kids will love. Kids will be encouraged to get a little dirty as they help to make seed balls, a Prairie Day tradition. Using a Native American technique, visitors will combine seeds, humus, and red clay into tiny packets of life that will be tossed into the fields surrounding BRIT to populate the area with native plants. Imagine the fun of returning to the BRIT next spring to see the plants you helped to grow!
Other activities throughout the day will combine fun family games with opportunities to learn about nature, including face painting, balloon twisting, and a variety of games provided by the Log Cabin Village. In addition, live music and cowboy poets will be on hand to entertain the crowd.
Don't miss these other great activities:
- Beekeeping demonstrations
- Soap and candle making
- Children's coloring contest
- Basket Weaving
- Solar Cooking Demonstrations
- Meet two special guest prairie dogs
The 3rd annual Prairie Day event will be held on Saturday, May 18th from 10 am to 2 pm at BRIT Headquarters 1700 University Drive.


text: It is well known that there is a spectrum of pores in a soil profile. The conventional use of a single lumped value of soil hydraulic conductivity to describe a spectrum of hydraulically active pores may have unintentionally impeded the development of field-scale chemical transport theory and perhaps indirectly hindered the development of management protocols for chemical application and waste disposal. In this study, three sets of four field-scale tracer mass flux breakthrough patterns measured under transient unsaturated flow conditions were used to evaluate the validity of an indirect method to quantify equivalent pore spectra of macropore-type preferential flow pathways. Results indicated that there were distinct trends in how pore spectra of macropore-type preferential flow pathways changed when a soil profile became wetter during a precipitation event. This suggests that the indirect method has predictive value and is perhaps a better alternative to the lumped soil hydraulic conductivity approach in accurately determining the impact of macropore-type preferential flow pathways on water movement and solute transport under transient unsaturated flow conditions.

Pearl River Church was built in 1833 as a school near the Natchez Trace in Madison County and school and church shared the facility. It has been used as a Methodist church throughout its history, although it is no longer used except for special occasions. The building was remodeled in 1889 to its present form. It is noted for its role in the history of the Lambuth family particulary. From this church in 1854 Rev. and Mrs. James William Lambuth went as missionaries to China where their descendants continued to labor long afterward. On a return trip to Mississippi and a stay of two years, daughter Nettie died and is buried in the adjacent cemetery. In honor of the Lambuths, each third Thursday of October there is a memorial service known now as Lambuth Day: The service has been essentially continuous since its beginning 1900. A monument in front of the church memorializing the Lambuths was installed at that time.

The Basics of Applying for Legal Aid in Victoria
Share This Article
Lady JusticeWritten by Amelia Ramsay, Associate, Doogue + George Defence Lawyers
How am I going to afford a lawyer? Can I get legal aid to help me pay for legal representation? These are usually some of the earliest questions that arise when someone has been charged with a criminal offence and needs to go to Court. Here is some information about what you will need to apply for legal aid in Victoria and some information about eligibility.
The Application Process
When you meet with your lawyer, you will need to ask them about applying for legal aid funding for your matter. What this means is that a lawyer will apply to Victoria Legal Aid on your behalf and ask them to fund part or all of your legal fees.
You will first need to complete an application form. Below is a link to the form. You may wish to complete the form in advance of your meeting with a lawyer or simply familiarise yourself with the questions you will be asked.
Lawyers who are familiar with legal aid in Victoria will generally conduct a preliminary means test with you when you first ask for legal aid. The main factor will be how much money you earn. If you earn over the threshold amount or have any large assets then a lawyer will generally advise that it is not worth making an application. However, there are some factors that will tilt the scales in favour of legal aid funding including whether you have children you support, debts, credit cards and loans. If the money going out is more than the money coming in, your lawyer may advise you to make an application.
Once the form is completed and necessary supporting documentation forwarded to Victoria Legal Aid, they will assess your application and provide a response. It may take a couple of weeks to receive a response depending on how complicated your financial situation is.
There are three main factors that determine your eligibility for legal aid assistance.
 1. Your financial situation using a means test;
 2. What your case is about; and
 3. The benefit you are likely to get from your legal case.
The means test considers:
 - money you get from work, Centrelink benefits or other sources
 - if you own anything of value, like a house or a car
 - your weekly living expenses.
The means test also looks at whether you support anyone else, or if they support you. Importantly, your partner's income and assets are usually included when determining whether you are eligible for assistance.
You will need to provide evidence to support what you tell your lawyer about your financial situation. This might include bank statements, loan documents or a rates notice – both yours and your partner's. If you receive a Centrelink benefit, you will be asked to provide authority for Victoria Legal Aid to contact Centrelink and obtain confirmation of your entitlements. The sooner your gather all this material together and provide it to your lawyer, the sooner your application will be processed. If you are able to provide copies during your first meeting with your lawyer, you are already winning.
To prepare, make a list of the income you receive whether it is from paid employment, rent paid to you or dividends from shares. Then make a list of all your expenditure, bills, loan repayments, credit card debts, your child's care or education or support and what you spend on food.
Secondly, what your case is about will determine whether you are eligible for legal aid funding. This includes whether your charges are summary or indictable; what type of charges – such as violence, dishonesty, sexual offences, homicide or terrorism; which Court you are required to attend; and whether you plan to plead guilty or not guilty.
Thirdly, the benefit you are likely to get from your legal case. Victoria Legal Aid wants to know that their financial assistance is going to make a difference to what happens with your matter. This does not mean you have to guarantee that you will win but there needs to be some sort of benefit. That may be shortening the length of a trial or the difference between a sentence involving imprisonment and a community-based order.
The main factor you need to be concerned with is your financial situation and providing evidence or documentation to support what you put in your application form. Your lawyer and Victoria Legal Aid will work out the rest.
If you are granted financial assistance in your matter, you must remember to report any changes to your income or financial situation during the life of your Court matter. In some cases, this could be for a few years. Similar to a Centrelink allowance, if you start earning more money it is likely that your funding will be reduced and if you fail to report the change, you may be asked to repay money down the track.

Method for broadband spectroscopy of light transport through opaque scattering media
We present a broadband technique for the measurement of diffuse light transport through opaque scattering media. Using the spectral correlations introduced by a scattering medium onto a white-light supercontinuum spectrum, the diffusion constant of light is determined over a wide spectral range in the visible and the near IR. Independent broadband measurements of both the transport mean free path and the diffusion constant are used to calculate the spectral dependence of the energy velocity in a porous GaP slab. Broadband correlation spectroscopy is found to be an excellent tool for the characterization of random scattering media.


2 Different Date Data Sets

edited March 3 in Card Building
I have a problem where I need to match up 2 different data sets to show funnel. Create Date & Demo Date. I need to show this data by week number. A demo date can be weeks after the create date. Here is my example:
Data set 1
Week Create Count
1 10
2 20
Data Set 2
Week Demo Count
1 3

How can I merge these data sets do I can get matching numbers as shown below:
Week Create Demo

 You need to join these two datasets together to make one dataset. The easiest way to do this is with Magic ETL. The below example shows you more than just joining, but the idea is that you can use the join tile to join your two datasets together. You would join on week. You might want to review this KB article to better understand the different types of joins if you are unfamiliar with the concept.

 GrantSmith Indiana 🟤
 Hi _USER_
 alternatively you can use a data set view to join your two datasets together.
 another option to think about might be instead of joining your data together you UNION / stack your data together such that you have
 Demo | 1 | 3
 Create | 1 | 10
 - jaeW_at_Onyx
 jaeW_at_Onyx Budapest / Portland, OR 🟤
 Sorry _USER_ and _USER_ hard disagree.
 Don't JOIN the data. APPEND them.
 If you get to the point where you have multiple rows per week OR if dataset 1 is at a different granularity than dataset2 then you end up with row growth (because you're JOINING) and you have to crazy math to 'SUM DISTINCT).
 1) add a constant "Activity Type" to each dataset so you know what type of metric you're dealing with
 2) duplicate the date column and call it "Activity Date" for both datasets. (then use Activity Date in Analyzer).
 3) UNION the data

Although rhodochrosite is found in many different localities, only a few supply the compact material which is used as an ornamental stone. It is commonly found in the form of stalactites and stalagmites in the caves of Argentina. Its use as an ornamental stone began just before the commencement of World War II, when a quantity of this stone came from San Luis in Argentina. The deposit from which it came was said to have been found in a long-disused mine situated on a mountain fissure at a high altitude, which was reputedly worked by the Incas for silver and copper during the thirteenth century. The Incas, who called it Inca Rose, believed that rhodochrosite is the blood of their former kings and queens / that was turned to stone.

The Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation is a living history museum located in beautiful Ridley Creek State Park. The museum strives to represent and recreate the every day lives of the regular citizens who lived in Southeastern Pennsylvania from 1760 to 1790. The 112 acre farm is dubbed a plantation according to land descriptions of the time. Holdings under 100 acres were described as farms, those over 100 acres as plantations, and those over 1000 acres as manors.
Costumed interpreters, livestock, and restored and reconstructed buildings all serve to take you back in time and help you to experience how most people in this area lived during the end of the colonial period.
During your self-guided tour you are invited to talk to our interpreters and you may even be able to join in the work. Everyone will find something they enjoy at Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation where the past is your present.

FAQs about Bali Jewelry
What is Bali style jewelry?
Bali jewelry can be modern, antique or tribal. The best pieces are normally associated with the Majapahit Dynasty in Java and Bali as well as the awesomely superb filigree and granulation work of southern Sulawesi, specifically Makassar. Indonesia is not a large supplier of precious stones, so many designs are purely metal. One exception would be Kalimantan which is known for their specific but not high grade diamonds. The Balinese have a special appreciation for nature, the abundant flowering trees on their island, so you'll find traditional jewelry very ornamental. Popular imagery is flowers, sea creatures like turtles and sea stars, mandalas and Hindu gods and goddesses.
What jewelry is Bali known for?
The Balinese people are master craftspeople: wood carving is a significant part of their culture, and this comes through in some of the detailed jewelry designs. Traditionally, Balinese goldsmiths like to work with metal such as 18-22K gold and 925 sterling silver, because it is softer and more malleable for carving and chasing techniques.
What is the history of Bali's crafting tradition?
Bali's unique crafting tradition starts in the 14th century with the colonization by the Majapahit Empire of Java. In that period, the island gathered the world's best silversmiths and goldsmiths who made local craft flourish, inspiring generations to come until this day. It is especially for this long-lasting tradition that many people decide to purchase jewelry made in Bali.
Is Bali jewelry for men or women?
At our jewelry store, you can buy handcrafted Balinese items for both men and women., which makes it a nice gift for everyone.
What Balinese jewelry can I buy?
Our Bali jewelry collection features rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces. Check out our website to view a full list.
What are the materials used in Bali jewelry?
Bali jewelry is famous for mastering the use of silver. A group of smiths from Singaraja, in the North part of the Island, trace their line back before the immigration of the Majapahit Javanese. Another clan of smiths consider themselves direct descendants of Brahma, the fiery Hindu God. The symbolic importance of precious metals in Hindu cosmology is reflected in the belief that the triple peaks of Mt. Meru, the abode of the Gods and the center of the world, are made of gold, silver and iron.
What is special about Bali jewelry?
Balinese silverwork is part of an ancient tradition.The art of metal work arrived in Indonesia in the Bronze Age from Southern Chinese and Southeast Asian areas. Bronze drums, dated from as early as the fifth century BC, have been found throughout the archipelago, and some of them are believed to have been cast in Bali. The accumulation of wealth which ensued encouraged the refinement of many art forms, including jewelry. By AD 1,000 gold and silverwork in Java had reached a level of artistry as high as that of the bronze caster. The abundance of gold was documented by a Chinese trader who reported in 1225 that Javanese criminals, except for thieves and murderers, were not imprisoned or subjected to corporal punishment but fined in gold.


text: For public safety, freight and passenger trains are required to have audible warning devices to signal the approach of trains at grade crossings, and in case of an emergency, where there is a shared right-of-way or other possible public access to railroad tracks. Some communities have expressed a desire to reduce the need for sounding warning horns at grade crossings. Although very expensive, grade-separated railroad crossings are one means by which communities and railroads can reduce the need for horn blowing in populated areas. Efforts are being made to develop new grade crossing safety devices that reduce the need for horn blowing. However, use of warning devices such as horns or whistles to signal the approach of trains, especially at grade crossings, will probably remain a major source of railroad noise in most communities through which railroads pass. A noise prediction model is presented and compared with noise data measured for freight train locomotive horns at grade crossings. Horn sounding duration is included in the model, and its effect on time-weighted community noise descriptors such as L[inf dn] is examined.

 - How do I grind coffee for an espresso using my burr grinder?
 Please see our tutorial video guide on how to grind coffee with the burr grinder.
 - What is the difference between the De'Longhi coffee grinders?
 There are two basic types of coffee grinder available: A blade grinder and a burr grinder.
 Burr Grinders
 Burr grinders use grinding wheels (pictured right) to crush coffee beans, which are adjustable for grinding from course grinds to very fine grinds. The fully adjustable grind control will depend on the machine you are using to make coffee, or the type of coffee you enjoy - course grinds are needed for filter coffee makers and very fine grinds are needed for espresso. The coffee only passes through the grind cones once so it preserves the flavour of the coffee. Burr grinders are generally seen as a more professional approach than blade grinders although they are more expensive. If you enjoy espresso coffee, paying a little extra for one of these is well worth it. Burr grinders are not suitable for spices.
 Blade Grinders
 Blade grinders (pictured right) use blades to chop up the coffee beans, rather like a mill jar. The longer you hold the button down, the finer the grind will be. They are less expensive than burr grinders although they can be noisier. This type of grinder can also be used as a spice grinder, although it can affect the taste if it is subsequently used for coffee without proper cleaning.
 De'Longhi offers both types of Grinder. For more information see _URL_

Cargo ships account for a massive amount of carbon emissions each year, so reducing emissions is a global priority. One of the easiest ways to do that is to reduce the weight of said cargo ships. A group of EU researchers have developed a new material that is tough, lighter than water and could cut ships' weight by as much as 30 to 50 percent while maintaining the payload capability. That would take the equivalent of 55 to 60 trucks' worth of CO2 out of the equation per ship.
The material developed by the researchers is a lightweight aluminum foam that expands like a sponge when exposed to high heat. The material is sandwiched between two sheets of steel and sealed with heat, resulting in a very lightweight and tough building material. Under stress, the material bends but doesn't break, making it ideal for traveling even through dangerous ice-packed waters.

how to find expired accounts: Netwrix Auditor User Accounts Expired report
Quickly Find Expired User Accounts Instead of Scripting in PowerShell
As a part of security management best practices, Active Directory administrators have to find expired user accounts so they can remove or disable them before an attacker has time to take them over. User accounts for vendors or contractors are often needed only temporally, but even if the IT team sets an expiration date, a malicious actor can reset the date by running a simple ADAccount cmdlet and then use the account as a backdoor to gain access to IT systems like Windows Server and Microsoft Active Directory. Therefore, it's critical to ensure that you know about all expired user accounts in your Active Directory and delete any of them that are no longer needed to minimize risk and make your IT environment more secure.
Of course, you can get AD user expired accounts using PowerShell. However, it does requires skill, time and effort to write a Windows PowerShell script, pull the required data from your domain and compile a report.
Unlike PowerShell commands and legacy software solutions, Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory makes it easy to quickly get expired users. In a few clicks, you can find any user accounts that expired, so you can determine whether they are still needed or can be deleted as part of IT housekeeping procedures. You can easily filter the results and export the list of expired user accounts to any of multiple file formats, including CSV. And you can subscribe to the report to stay current on any changes to the list of expired user accounts to improve the security of your IT environment.

Strategies for Including Women's and LGBTI Groups in the Colombian Peace Process
Inclusion in Colombia cover
Publisher: SIPRI
November, 2020
In order to have a more nuanced understanding of inclusive peace processes, it is important to understand how civil society can connect to formal peace negotiations. The Colombian peace negotiation process is highly regarded as one of the most inclusive processes; involving civil society groups from diverse backgrounds, including both women's and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/ transsexual and intersex (LGBTI) groups. But how do these groups leverage influence among the main conflict actors, and what specific challenges and opportunities do they face?
This paper applies a conflict resolution and negotiation framework to assess the involvement of women's and LGBTI groups in the most recent Colombian peace negotiation process. In doing so, the suggested framework provides a practical application of conflict resolution and negotiation strategies that can further complement discussions on inclusion of marginalized groups in other peace negotiation processes.

This is an overview of domain separation and the Notifications application. Domain
separation enables you to separate data, processes, and administrative tasks into logical
groupings called domains. You can then control several aspects of this separation, including
which users can see and access data.
Support: Level 2
Domain separation is
supported in this application. Not all ServiceNow applications support domain
separation; some include limitations on the data and administrative settings that can be
domain separated. To learn more, see Application support for domain
Domain separation is specifically supported in Notifications but not in email accounts.
Notifications are not data-separated but they are process-separated. Notifications are also
triggered by specific actions.
How domain separation works in Notifications
There are two basic components of domain separation and Notifications.
- Notifications are process-separated (not data-separated).
- Notifications are triggered in two main ways:
- When a record is Inserted or Updated
- Notifications with matching conditions AND in the same domain as the
inserted/updated record are processed.
- When an event defined in the notification is triggered
- Events typically have a target record. For example, [incident.inserted] event
references the incident record being inserted.
- When an event is fired, notifications configured for that event in the same
domain as the event's target record are processed.
Domains and email accounts
Domain separation is not supported in email accounts for these reasons:
- Sending mail: There is only one SMTP sender per account. This prohibits providing
domains for each account, and they are not configurable.
- For receiving Inbound mail: You can set up multiple email accounts but cannot
meaningfully set the domain of an inbound email action. Inbound Actions are processed in
the domain of the user who sent the email. For example: User_A in Domain A sends an
email to a ServiceNow email account which executes the "Create an incident" inbound
email action. The resulting new incident created by the inbound action is in Domain
To learn more see Inbound email actions
Note: If the number of email accounts exceeds 20, reception of email slows down.
If an instance is using the
Domain separation plugin
and a new email notification is
defined for a domain that has the same event as the notification on the global domain,
the user receives two emails for the same event.
Solution: Set the [sys_overrides] field on the notification that belongs to the
domain so it overrides the setting on global. For more information, see

Effect of cooling rate during solidification of Aluminum - chromium alloy
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
MetadataShow full item record
Controlling the distribution of alloying elements in aluminum casting and designing new processing practices are supported by an enhanced understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics of solidification at industrial scales. While the behavior of eutectic forming elements such as copper has received a lot of attention, the interactions of peritectic-forming elements such as chromium is understudied. We herein use a time-dependent nucleation model for the calculation of the incubation time of nuclei in the liquid. This characteristic time is computed at various temperatures, and the results are presented in the form of a time-temperature diagram. Liquid phase thermodynamics of dilute compositions in the aluminum-chromium system are experimentally informed using the electrochemical potential difference method. Thermodynamic data obtained from these investigations are used to inform physical properties of the aluminum-chromium melt. The aforementioned time-temperature diagrams are recalculated using experimental data and theoretical cooling rates for phase selection are calculated. Critical cooling rates calculated from the model are applied to industrially relevant practices such as DC casting and Twin roll casting.

French Grammar: Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs
la grammaire française: les verbes réfléchis réciproques
Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs in French help us identify actions done by two or more people – to each other!
Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs are a certain kind of Reflexive Verb in French. Be sure to review the lesson on Reflexive Verbs first before moving on to this lesson!
French Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs take the exact same pronouns as other French reflexive verbs. BUT, Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs are ONLY used in the plural – because the action always involves more than one person/subject.
Remember! The Reciprocal Reflexive Pronoun MUST match the subject(s) involved!
NOUS : ourselves/each other
VOUS : yourselves/each other
SE (or S') : themselves/each other
Note that the pronoun SE becomes S' before any verb that starts with a vowel (such as s'acheter and s'écrire).
Once you understand how to use Reflexive Verbs in French, learning how to use Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs is really easy! Just use the reflexive/reciprocal pronoun in front of the verb (action) that you want to express is mutual. Rule of thumb: If you would use the phrase 'each other' in English, then you'll use a Reciprocal Reflexive Verb in French!
Like Reflexive Verbs, a Reciprocal Reflexive Verb is identified by the reflexive pronoun SE that precedes it in its infinitive form. Here are some common French Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs:
s'acheter : to buy (something for) each other
s'adorer : to adore each other
s'aider : to help each other
s'aimer : to love each other
se comprendre : to understand each other
se connaître : to know each other
se détester : to hate each other
se dire : to tell/say to each other
s'écrire : to write to each other
s'envoyer (des courriels) : to send each other (emails)
se mentir : to lie to each other
se parler : to speak/talk to each other
se plaire : to like each other
se poser des questions : to ask each other questions
se promettre : to promise each other
se regarder : to look at each other
se rencontrer : to meet / to run into each other
se ressembler : to look like each other
se téléphoner : to phone/call each other
se voir : to see each other
See the ADAPT section for more examples!
Jacques et Marie se regardent.
James and Marie are looking at each other.
Les étudiants s'aident beaucoup.
The students help each other a lot.
Lucie et moi, nous nous voyons souvent.
Lucie and I see each other often.
Vous vous connaissez?
Do you all know each other?

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recently released a new infographic that demonstrates how the country's medical schools and teaching hospitals work to improve patient care. The graphic can be downloaded and viewed here.
The graphic demonstrates how vital medical schools and teaching hospitals are to our country's health care system. For instance, the nation's nearly 400 major teaching hospitals train 80,000 residents in primary care and specialty areas each year. Nearly half of all external research funded by the National Institutes of Health is conducted at medical schools. And, AAMC teaching hospitals provide nearly 40 percent of hospital charity care.
UNC Health Care's status as a teaching hospital allows us to better train the next generation of doctors and better serve the patients we see each day. We are proud to be a part of a nationwide effort to improve care and better train medical students.


Distributed tuning job count
 Type: int
 Default value: 0
 Minimum value: 0
 Maximum value: MAXINT
Enables distributed parallel tuning, which can significantly increase the performance of the tuning tool. A value of n causes the tuning tool to distribute tuning work among n parallel jobs. These jobs are distributed among a set of machines. Use the WorkerPool parameter to provide a distributed worker cluster.
Note that distributed tuning is most effective when the worker machines have similar performance. Distributed tuning doesn't attempt to normalize performance by server, so it can incorrectly attribute a boost in performance to a parameter change when the associated setting is tried on a worker that is significantly faster than the others.
One important note about integer-valued parameters: while the maximum value that can be stored in a signed integer is $2^{31}-1$, we use a MAXINT value of 2,000,000,000. Attempting to set an integer parameter to a value larger than this maximum will produce an error.
For examples of how to query or modify parameter values from our different APIs, refer to our Parameter Examples.
