Rotary - A Brief History
Paul P. Harris, an attorney who wished to recapture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth, formed the world's first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, Illinois, USA, on 23 February 1905. The name "Rotary" derived from the early practice of rotating meetings among members' offices.
Rotary's popularity spread throughout the United States in the decade that followed; clubs were chartered from San Francisco to New York. By 1921, Rotary clubs had been formed on six continents, and the organization adopted the name Rotary International a year later.
As Rotary grew, its mission expanded beyond serving the professional and social interests of club members. Rotarians began pooling their resources and contributing their talents to help serve communities in need. The organization's dedication to this ideal is best expressed in its principal motto: Service Above Self. Rotary also later embraced a code of ethics, called The 4-Way Test, that has been translated into hundreds of languages.
During and after World War II, Rotarians became increasingly involved in promoting international understanding. In 1945, 49 Rotary members served in 29 delegations to the United Nations Charter Conference. Rotary still actively participates in UN conferences by sending observers to major meetings and promoting the United Nations in Rotary publications. Rotary International's relationship with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) dates back to a 1943 London Rotary conference that promoted international cultural and educational exchanges. Attended by ministers of education and observers from around the world, and chaired by a past president of RI, the conference was an impetus to the establishment of UNESCO in 1946.
An endowment fund, set up by Rotarians in 1917 "for doing good in the world," became a not-for-profit corporation known as The Rotary Foundation in 1928. Upon the death of Paul Harris in 1947, an outpouring of Rotarian donations made in his honor, totaling US$2 million, launched the Foundation's first program — graduate fellowships, now called Ambassadorial Scholarships. Today, contributions to The Rotary Foundation total more than US$80 million annually and support a wide range of humanitarian grants and educational programs that enable Rotarians to bring hope and promote international understanding throughout the world.
In 1985, Rotary made a historic commitment to immunize all of the world's children against polio. Working in partnership with nongovernmental organizations and national governments thorough its PolioPlus program, Rotary is the largest private-sector contributor to the global polio eradication campaign. Rotarians have mobilized hundreds of thousands of PolioPlus volunteers and have immunized more than one billion children worldwide. By the 2005 target date for certification of a polio-free world, Rotary will have contributed half a billion dollars to the cause.
As it approached the dawn of the 21st century, Rotary worked to meet the changing needs of society, expanding its service effort to address such pressing issues as environmental degradation, illiteracy, world hunger, and children at risk. The organization admitted women for the first time (worldwide) in 1989 and claims more than 145,000 women in its ranks today. Following the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Rotary clubs were formed or re-established throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Today, 1.2 million Rotarians belong to some 33,000 Rotary clubs in 166 countries.

20th-century, introducing several technological innovations to the industry, such as Levi Burdon's invention of seamless filled wire, which stimulated the chain-making industry, the introduction of electroplating, and the mechanization of the industry. In keeping with the growth of the industry in Providence in the second half of the 19th-century, was the development of a jewelry district in the city, with large multi-storied buildings such as the Bowen Building and the Fitzgerald Building.

The Golash Pearl Brooch makes it debut at the 2005 Tucson Gem Show
In keeping with Bejamin Zucker's advice, to promote the rare pearl brooch, Golash exhibited the brooch at the Tucson International Gem and Mineral Show in February 2005. The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show is the largest international show of its kind in the world, that usually attracts around 50,000 visitors, including 4,000 dealers, from all over the world, and bringing a revenue of $75 million to the city. The purple pearl brooch attracted great attention at the show, due to its extreme rarity. Antoinette Matlins, the author of the "Pearl Book : The Definitive Buying Guide" also attended the show, and according to her the jewelry industry's three largest magazines were writing articles about the rare Purple Pearl. The Smithsonian Institution was said to be considering considering the possibility of including it in their "Natural Pearls" exhibition, and the American Museum of Natural History was also reportedly interested in exhibiting it. According to Matlins, Golash's intention was to loan the pearl brooch to the American Museum of Natural History to be exhibited in their worldwide traveling exhibition, "Pearls : A Natural History," which was first held in New York in October 2001, and was expected to tour the world until 2007.
Golash Pearl Brooch exhibited for the first time at the AMNH's traveling exhibition "Pearl : A Natural History" held in Japan in October 2005
Golash's rare quahog pearl brooch was exhibited for the first time at the American Museum of Natural History's worldwide traveling exhibition, "Pearls : A Natural History" held at the National Science Museum, Tokyo, between October 1, 2005 and January 15, 2006. Later it was due to be exhibited at the Australian Museum in Sydney, from April 8, 2006 to August 6, 2006, and then in Abu Dhabi, UAE from December 10, 2006 to January 27, 2007, and finally at the Musee National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, from October 24, 2007 to March 10, 2008.
After the worldwide promotion of the brooch, Golash was intending to put it up for auction in Hong Kong under the auspices of one of the renowned auction houses, such as Christie's or Sotheby's. The decision for picking Hong Kong as the venue for auctioning the pearl, was because the Far East was considered as one of the primary markets for pearls.
The significance of the outcome of the sale of the Golash Quahog Pearl Brooch
The outcome of the auction of the Golash quahog pearl brooch, if and when Alan Golash decided to put it up for sale, was eagerly awaited by pearl markets around the world, and particularly pearl enthusiasts, collectors and prospectors for quahog pearls in the east coast of the United States. Several people living in states along the east coast of the United States, had made accidental discoveries of good quality quahog pearls, either when eating processed quahog clams in restaurants and hotels, or while enjoying a dish of quahog clams prepared at home. Quahog clams are a popular delicacy in most of these states. Quahog pearls are extremely rare, that historical precedence in their pricing is virtually non-existent. Thus the auction results of the Golash quahog pearl brooch is eagerly awaited, as it could set the benchmark for the valuation of quahog pearls in the future.
The projected value of the Golash Quahog Pearl Brooch?
According to Alan Golash, pearl experts, dealers and enthusiasts had quoted a value ranging from $250,000 to $ 1 million for his rare quahog pearl brooch. Antoinette Matlins, the renowned pearl expert who was at the 2005 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, said " No one knows what its value is. Everyone at the Tucson show agreed it wasn't unreasonable to expect $250,000 without any promotion to make the world aware of it. And these are gemologists who are notoriously conservative." Thus $250,000 can be taken as the most conservative estimate for the value of the rare quahog pearl brooch. However, in a situation like this where there is no precedence for pricing and no one exactly knows the pearl's actual value, the skeptics also have their say, and most of them seem to think that the projected value for the pearl is unreasonably high in comparison to the values of natural and cultured pearls of similar size, 14 mm. They seem to think, the shape of the pearl being button depreciates its value, which they believe is not as high as perfectly spherical pearls.

Martin Luther was concerned about the Christian home. He saw the home as a place where children must be trained in the truth of the gospel. This article shows that training children must be done in understanding that children are depraved and need Christ. This article explains how Luther viewed such family training.
It is proper to thank God for growing up in a Christian home. Why? Because there are so many blessings of belonging to a Christian home. Let the article explain them.


Sea Monkeys Add Water
The water purifier contains salt which is essential for your sea monkeys since it allows them to hatch and thrive. Once you put the packet in the water, stir a little and allow the water to sit in room temperature for a day or up to 36 hours before adding the sea monkeys to the tank. That means the Sea Monkeys can survive years and even decades of drought, but to the naked human eye the eggs just look like sand. Just add water and "instant life!"

Basically unchanged for 300 million years (!), triops are
Next add package#2, the meteor bits(the instant live eggs)into the water.These space rock fragments actually have prehistoric sea monkeys enclosed from the precambrian, the time when the first.
Sea monkeys add water. Sea-Monkeys adapt well to the gradual process of their water world becoming more salty as the water level drops. However, replenishing the water can be a shock to their system as the salt concentration quickly changes when fresh water is added back to their tank. The more water that has evaporated from the tank, the greater the shock to their. Sea-Monkeys are a hybrid breed of brine shrimp called Artemia NYOS invented in 1957 by Harold von Braunhut. Initially marketed as "Instant Life," Sea-Monkeys are sold in hatching kits as novelty. Adult Sea-Monkeys: As your Sea-Monkeys grow larger, use the large end of the Aqua-Measure Spoon and feed once a week.Cloudy water: If the water gets cloudy, you're over-feeding and should stop adding food until the water clears. Common sense: Employ common sense. Obviously, you would feed 5 dogs MORE food than you would feed just 1.
CHECK THE WATER LEVEL: Eventually, some water will evaporate. When down by 1.5 inches, add fresh water to within 1/2″ from the top. Why Can't I Grow My Sea-Monkeys®? Sea-Monkeys® really aren't hard to raise at all. First, you have to prepare the water. Most people mix everything together at once and expect the Sea-Monkeys® to be born. 24 hours later, cut open packet #2 "Instant Live Eggs", add contents to water and stir for one minute. Keep the aquarium in shaded area away from direct sunlight. Step 3. Five days later, use a Sea-Monkey® Feeding Spoon to add one small scoop of powder from packet #3 "Growth Food". Do not stir. Sea-Monkeys WILL NOT HATCH if you measured the WRONG AMOUNT OF WATER that should be used. You must use EXACTLY 12 ounces of water to get Sea-Monkeys to hatch "on the button." Failure to use the RIGHT QUANTITY of water will NOT ruin the experiment. It WILL however cause a DELAY. Too little water: If YOU used too LITTLE water, simply add MORE to.

Most people mix everything together at once and expect the Sea-Monkeys® to be born. Well, you don't get anything but a jar of dirty water if you do that. Sea-Monkeys are fun lovable little creatures, relatives of brine shrimps, that are too small to hug, but are highly enjoyable! The great thing is that they are virtually maintenance-free pets; these little creatures are probably one of the easiest pets to raise, and come in a package. Just add water! Pour water into this special tank using a purifier that removes all the harmful chemicals. Add the Sea Monkey Eggs and these unique laboratory created hybrid brine shrimp seem to hatch instantly! As the weeks go by the Brine Shrimp will grow up to 20mm long, a special growth food is included – simply feed the Sea Monkeys every.
Add your water purifier. Open the pack of water purifier and pour its contents into the water. The water purifier is intended to balance the chemical makeup of the water and help create an appropriate environment for your sea monkeys. Stir the water so the purifier can more easily spread throughout the tank. With the help of this trait, sea monkeys possess a unique distinction compared from other sea creatures. Once you purchase a packet of sea monkey eggs, they appear as lifeless dust. When you pour this dust (brine shrimp eggs) in a tank or aquarium with purified water, the sea monkeys will spring to life in a jiffy. Sea-Monkeys might be hardy little animals but they still require basic care. As well as feeding your brine shrimp, you may need to keep the habitat clean, which involves changing some of the water. This doesn't mean scooping out some water and filling up the tank or container from the faucet, which would almost.
Directed by Penny Lane. With Sam Mercurio, Rich Pell. For decades, Sea-Monkeys won the hearts of children everywhere and quickly transformed into cultural phenomena thanks to inventor, marketing genius, and complicated eccentric Harold von Braunhut. What Are Sea Monkeys? Despite their name, a sea monkey isn't an amazing underwater primate. Instead, they're a species of brine shrimp. This species, known as Artemia NYOS, is a hybrid of several types of naturally occurring brine shrimp.The creators wanted to create a hardy breed that was large enough for children to see since most brine shrimp are nearly microscopic. The sea monkeys or sea pets will adapt to the water, but don't throw in salt unless you have thrown in a lot of fresh water. In this case it will be a shock on them. Use the salt from our salt rocks only to break of a pinch to add to the water. Only add small amounts of distilled water or bottled water as a general rule so that they can adapt.

Sea-Monkeys are a novelty aquarium pet, a type of brine shrimp that undergoes cryptobiosis.Developed in the United States in 1957, by Harold von Braunhut, the shrimp are intended to be added to water, and almost always come bundled in a 3-pouch kit with other required pouches and instructions.Sometimes a small tank and/or supplementary pouches may also be included with the product. Add tap water until the total mass of the solution inside the beaker is 1,000 grams, stirring until the salt is completely dissolved (remember to take the weight of the beaker itself into account). Rock salt, sea salt, kosher salt and table salt can all be used to make seawater at home.
Smell the tank water to check that it no longer smells foul. Then, put the water back in the tank, followed by the sea monkeys. Top up the tank water with purified, room temperature water. Feed your sea monkeys and aerate the tank several times throughout the day. Then, feed them again five days later, per their usual feeding schedule.

The whole point of a BJT is that it is driven by current, not voltage. That current might be small but it is current never the less because it is current that makes the transistor work. FETs on the other hand are voltage devices and draw negligible current apart from the initial charging of the gate source capacitance.
I never stated that a BJT could work without current! I originally recommended using FETs over on the 3 mA pins because I know the difference on how they operate.
Lets look at each in turn:-
1) Common emitter - the normal way I would recommend, base current determines collector current
2) Common base - note the page says this is not suitable for a TTL voltage buffer, it has a low gain and typically I use this for video coupling.
3) Common collector better known as an emitter follower. - This has no voltage gain but a current gain, you do not need a base resistor because of the feedback on the emitter keeping the emitter / base voltage stable. However this is 0.7V so this means when you use it as a voltage buffer you loose 0.7V. Used with the Due that will reduce the voltage output from 3V3 to 2.6V. When lighting an LED this will not be high enough for blue and white LEDs although it is enough for red and green. Again I would not recommend this due to the voltage drop that it produces.
Although you are correct that I should have stated, "common emitter" and not "common collector". I... wasn't in a frame of mind conducive to self proof-reading when I wrote it. I took your comment in a way you probably didn't mean, and furthermore let it irritate me more than I should have even if you did.
Regardless, with NPN a common emitter
circuit the voltage difference between the base and emitter will be the VIN
. Since VOUT
can be expressed as follows VOUT
; how is VIN
not effectively controlling VOUT
? Yes, I intentionally didn't mention that the current will be amplified as well and that is fundamental to the operation of the BJT. However, in my mind at least, it wasn't necessary because the maximum current is so low and all the pins except DAC0 and DAC1 are either outputting digital or PWM signals. So it's just easier when biasing the circuit to concentrate on the voltage, either setting it up to be an actual voltage amplifier or a switch, and only address the current in the context of ensuring it doesn't go above 3 mA.


to this
So those are some examples to get our feet wet; now it's time to build our prequel meme trie! Yipee!
We're going to try to re-create this reference trie: (full size here)
Reference trie (credit to u/Uninventive_Username)
To render our tree, we're going to be using the graphviz library, which generates a DOT file which the graphviz application can render. The graphviz library directly renders a value of the graph data type from fgl, the functional graph library that is the de-facto fleshed-out graph manipulation library of the Haskell ecosystem.
The roadmap seems straightforward:
 1. Load our prequel memes into a Map String Label, a map of quotes to their associated macro images (as a Label, which the graphviz library can render)
 2. Use ana to turn a Map String Label into a Trie Char Label
 3. Use cata to turn a Trie Char Label into a Gr (Maybe Label) Char graph of nodes linked by letters, with prequel meme leaves
 4. Use the graphviz library to turn that graph into a DOT file, to be rendered by the external graphviz application.
1 and 4 are mainly fumbling around with IO, parsing, and interfacing with libraries, so 2 and 3 are the interesting steps in our case. We actually already wrote 2 (in the previous section — surprise!), so that just leaves 3 to investigate.
Monadic catamorphisms and fgl
fgl provides a two (interchangeable) graph types; for the sake of this article, we're going to be using Gr from the Data.Graph.Inductive.PatriciaTree module1.
The type Gr a b represents a graph of vertices with labels of type a, and edges with labels of type b. In our case, for a Trie k v, we'll have a graph with nodes of type Maybe v (the leaves, if they exist) and edges of type k (the token linking one node to the next).
Our end goal, then, is to write a function Trie k v -> Gr (Maybe v) k. Knowing this, we can jump directly into writing an algebra:
 :: TrieF k v (Gr (Maybe v) k)
 -> Gr (Maybe v) k
and then using cata trieGraphAlg :: Trie k v -> Gr (Maybe v) k.
This isn't a particularly bad way to go about it, and you won't have too many problems. However, this might be a good learning opportunity to practice writing "monadic" catamorphisms.
That's because to create a graph using fgl, you need to manage Node ID's, which are represented as Ints. To add a node, you need to generate a fresh Node ID. fgl has some nice tools for managing this, but we can have some fun by taking care of it ourselves using the so-called "state monad", State Int.
We can use State Int as a way to generate "fresh" node ID's on-demand, with the action fresh:
-- source:
fresh :: State Int Int
fresh = state $ \i -> (i, i+1)
fresh will return the current counter state to produce a new node ID, and then increment the counter so that the next invocation will return a new node ID.
In this light, we can frame our big picture as writing a Trie k v -> State Int (Gr (Maybe v) k): turn a Trie k v into a state action to generate a graph.
To write this, we lay out our algebra:
 :: TrieF k v (State Int (Gr (Maybe v) k))
 -> State Int (Gr (Maybe v) k)
We have to write a function "how to make a state action creating a graph, given a map of state actions creating sub-graphs".
One interesting thing to note is that we have a lot to gain from using "first-class effects": State Int (Gr (Maybe v) k) is just a normal, inert Haskell value that we can manipulate and sequence however we want. State is not only explicit, but the sequencing of actions (as first-class values) is also explicit.
We can write this using fgl combinators:
-- source:
 -> State Int (Gr (Maybe v) k)
trieGraphAlg (MkTF v xs) = do
 n <- fresh
 subgraphs <- sequence xs
 -- subbroots :: [(k, Int)]
 let subroots = M.toList. fmap (fst. G.nodeRange) $ subgraphs
 pure $ G.insEdges ((\(k,i) -> (n,i,k)) <$> subroots) -- insert root-to-subroots
 . G.insNode (n, v) -- insert new root
 . M.foldr (G.ufold (G.&)) G.empty -- merge all subgraphs
 $ subgraphs
 1. First, generate and reserve a fresh node label
 2. Then, sequence all of the state actions inside the map of sub-graph generators. Remember, a TrieF k v (State Int (Gr (Maybe v) k)) contains a Maybe v and a Map k (State Int (Gr (Maybe v) k)). The map contains State actions to create the sub-graphs, and we use:
 :: Map k (State Int (Gr (Maybe v) k))
 -> State Int (Map k (Gr (Maybe v) k))
 to turn a map of subgraph-producing actions into an action producing a map of subgraphs.
 Note that this is made much simpler because of explicit state sequencing, since it gives us the opportunity to choose what "order" we want to perform our actions. Putting this after fresh ensures that the nodes in the subtries all have larger ID's than the root node. If we swap the order of the actions, we can actually invert the node ordering.
 3. Next, it's useful to collect all of the subroots, subroots :: [(k, Int)]. These are all of the node id's of the roots of each of the subtries, paired with the token leading to that subtrie.
 4. Now to produce our result:
 1. First we merge all subgraphs (using G.ufold (G.&) to merge together two graphs)
 2. Then, we insert the new root, with our fresh node ID and the new Maybe v label.
 3. Then, we insert all of the edges connecting our new root to the root of all our subgraphs (in subroots).
We can then write our graph generating function using this algebra, and then running the resulting State Int (Gr (Maybe v) k) action:
-- source:
 :: Trie k v
 -> Gr (Maybe v) k
trieGraph = flip evalState 0. cata trieGraphAlg
Finally, we can write our mapToGraph:
 :: Ord k
 => Map [k] v
 -> Gr (Maybe v) k
mapToGraph = flip evalState 0
 . cata trieGraphAlg
 . ana fromGraphCoalg
Actually, writing things out as mapToGraph gives us some interesting insight: our function takes a Map [k] v, and returns a Gr (Maybe v) k. Notice that Trie k v isn't anywhere in the type signature. This means that, to the external user, Trie's role is completely internal.
In other words, Trie itself doesn't seem to matter at all. We really want a Map [k] v -> Gr (Maybe v) k, and we're just using Trie as an intermediate data structure. We are exploiting its internal structure to write our full function, and we don't care about it outside of that. We build it up with ana and then immediately tear it down with cata, and it is completely invisible to the outside world.
One neat thing about recursion-schemes is that it lets us capture this "the actual fixed-point is only intermediate and is not directly consequential to the outside world" pattern. First, we walk ourselves through the following reasoning steps:
 - We don't care about Trie itself as a result or input. We only care about it because we exploit its internal structure.
 - TrieF already expresses the internal structure of Trie
 - Therefore, if we only want to take advantage of the structure, we really only ever need TrieF. We can completely bypass Trie.
This should make sense in our case, because the only reason we use Trie is for its internal structure. But TrieF already captures the internal structure — thus, we really only need to ever worry about TrieF. We don't actually care about the recursive data type — we never did!
In this spirit, recursion-schemes offers the hylomorphism recursion scheme:
 :: (TrieF k v b -> b) -- ^ an algebra
 -> (a -> TrieF k v a) -- ^ a coalgebra
 -> a
 -> b
If we see the coalgebra a -> TrieF k v a as a "building" function, and the algebra TrieF k v b -> b as a "consuming" function, then hylo will build, then immediately consume. It'll build with the coalgebra on TrieF, then immediately consume with the algebra on TrieF. No Trie is ever generated, because it's never necessary: we're literally just building and immediately consuming TrieF values.
We could even implement hylo ourselves, to illustrate the "build and immediately consume" property:

Dr. Soother's Healthy Wipes was the first of the Dr. Soother's family of products to be developed by Dr. Steve Hodges, a pediatric urologist at Wake Forest University.
Dr. Hodges noticed that all his patients with recurrent UTIs also had red, irritated vulvae. He began swabbing the perineal skin of his patients, comparing the bacteria found on girls with and without vulvitis. What he discovered: Patients without skin irritation had normal, noninfectious skin bacteria and normal pH; however, the skin of the girls with vulvitis was colonized with UTI-causing bacteria and had an abnormal pH.
Dr. Hodges further discovered that preventing the accumulation of urinary substances and restoring the skin's normal pH prevents irritation and skin breakdown. Numerous studies indicate urinary tract infections arise when bacteria travel across the perineum and then ascend into the bladder. The bacteria are able to thrive and make this journey much more easily when the skin pH is abnormal. Keeping the skin free of irritation and normalizing the pH blocks this path and reduces the bacteria that can cause infections.
Because postmenopausal women are also prone to vulvitis, Dr. Hodges suspected his wipes would help these women as much as they would help his own patients. He approached Dr. Scott Washburn, an OB/GYN at Lyndhurst Gynecologic Associates in Winston-Salem who is an expert on urinary incontinence and menopause. Impressed by Dr. Hodges' findings, Dr. Washburn asked his patients to test the Healthy Wipes. The results were phenomenal: skin irritation was drastically reduced. Dr. Washburn forged a partnership Dr. Hodges and continued to refine the Healthy Wipes and develop additional applications of the formula.

>A Pocket Printer and Enterprise Architecture
Ever wonder what happened to the old Polaroid cameras—you know point, click, shoot, and out pops your photo? Very cool technology for a society that expects, no demands, instant gratification.
Polaroid photos were great while they lasted, but their pictures have become obsolete with new digital photography.
However, Polaroid has a new architecture to transform itself. They have developed a pocket printer to enable the printing of digital photos from cell phones and cameras.
MIT Technology Review, 7 January 2008, reports that Polaroid's "new handheld printers produce color photos using novel thermal-printing technology developed at Polaroid spinoff Zink Imaging…[and] will be priced at less than $150."
How does the pocket printer work?
The printer is about the size of a deck of cards. A user who takes a picture on a cell phone or camera can wirelessly send the file to the printer using Bluetooth, a common short-range wireless technology used in cell phones, or PictBridge, a wireless technology found in a number of cameras. The result is a two-inch-by-three-inch photo printed on paper engineered by Zink."
Where does the printer cartridge go in the small pocket printer?
The printing technology is similar to that of a common thermal printer…since Zink's technology eliminates the need for printer cartridges…it has led to the smallest printers on the market, and it could eventually be integrated into cell phones and cameras. It would also dispense with the inconvenience of ink cartridges that unexpectedly begin to run out of ink, and which have to be replaced. "When you go to replace an ink-jet cartridge today, it's in the $40 range," Herchen says. With Zink, a person pays only by the print. Polaroid expects to sell the photo paper for $0.30 a page."
What challenges does the pocket printer face?
"People are accustomed to e-mailing pictures to each other or sending them to each other's phones, and they probably won't want to carry around another gadget just to print pictures on the spot." But this concern can be obviated if the printer can be integrated into the cell phone or camera, in essence creating a modern digital Polaroid camera equivalent.
From a User-centric EA perspective, you've got to hand it to Polaroid to extend their expertise in instant photography to the digital photo age. They have come up with a novel idea and have executed on it, so that it is standards-based (Bluetooth and PictBridge), interoperable with other technologies (cell phones and cameras), small and affordable—thus, appealing to end-users. It would be nice to see the pocket printer work with MS Office applications, so I can print my blog and other work on the go.

Simple Floating Logo
GIMP Tutorial - GIMP Quickies (text & images) by Pat David
is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
This tutorial is intended to introduce you to a few simple commands, and some concepts in order to create a logo that appears to be floating above a background, like this:
The concepts are ones that you'll likely come across multiple times while working in graphics processing. Layer masks are used to isolate a part of an image, thus allowing it to be placed over a random background for instance. The addition of a drop-shadow effect to make an object appear to be floating over the background is another example.
Create a new image of appropriate size for your logo:
This will open the "Create a New Image" dialog, with options for you to specify:
You can make this new image any dimensions you want, but for this tutorial I am going to specify a Width of 256 px, and a Height of 128 px. I haven't specified any other options. When you're ready, hit "OK" to create the new image.
You'll be presented with the new image on your canvas. Chances are it will be a pure white image at this point (it may be a different color depending on how your GIMP is setup to handle new images - if it is, don't worry).
Fill the New Image with Black
The first thing we are going to do is fill our new image with black. The first step to doing so is to make sure that the Foreground Color is appropriately set. Click on the foreground color in the Color area to bring up the "Change Foreground Color" dialog (if your foreground color is already black you don't have to do this step, but it can't hurt to learn):
The "Change Foreground Color" dialog allows you to now set the foreground color. We want to set the color to black RGB(0, 0, 0):
With the foreground color set, we can now use the Bucket Fill Tool to fill in our image:
Once the tool is activated, your cursor should appear as to the left. To fill the layer you need only click on the image area at this point. Your image should now fill with black.
Adding Some Text
Now we want to add text to our image to create our logo with. To see what we're doing, though, will require us to change the foreground color to something other than black (black text on black background doesn't show up so well).
Now, you can follow the above procedures again to set the foreground color. If your background color is already white, though, you can quickly swap foreground/background colors using the arrows:
You can also use they keyboard shortcut "X" to swap the colors.
With the foreground color set to white, we can now use the Text Tool to add some text to our image:
We can now draw a box on our canvas (image) to hold the text. You can click on the canvas where you'd like the top-left corner of your box to be, and drag the mouse down to the bottom right corner. You don't have to worry about being exact at this point, because you can adjust the boundaries of the box after the fact.
This is what you should see on your canvas after clicking and dragging from the top-left to the bottom-right to define your text box:
If you'd like to re-size the box for some reason, you can now click and drag in any of the green areas shown below:
Your text will go into the black box inside the green areas shown above.
Once the text boundary box is sized appropriately, we can just type some text. In my case, I'll use my name:
Chances are when you first start entering text, it will be very small on your canvas. So let's have a look at some options on the Text Tool Options palette (left, above).
If you want to make your text appear bigger, you can change the Size in the field shown. For instance, here I've chosen to set my Size to 100px.
You may also not like the font that is chosen by default. In that case, we can change the Font to something better by clicking the icon. This will open a drop-down to scroll through all the fonts that GIMP knows about on your system. You can see in my example that I've changed the font to "Tw Cen MT Bold".
Once we've gotten the text how we want it, we can now create a new layer from all the visible layers so far (the text layer, and the black background layer). On your Layers tab, right click on the text layer we just made, and choose "New from Visible".
Alternatively, you can also create a new layer from visible using the menu:
At this point, our layer palette will have three layers on it, the background, the text ("PAT"), and our new layer "Visible":
Notice that there is a white border around the "Visible" layer. This indicates that this layer is currently active, so that any operations we perform will apply to this layer.
Which is good, because we are about to blur this new layer a bit!
To apply a slight Gaussian blur to this layer, we simply invoke the command through the menu:
This will invoke the Gaussian Blur dialog, where we can specify how much blur we want to apply:
The defaults were pretty good, but I wanted just a tad more blur, so I increased the Blur Radius to 7. When you're done, just hit "OK".
Adding Some Color
Now that we have our text done, it's time to add a splash of color!
We are going to add a new layer to our image first:
Or by Right-Clicking on the "Visible" layer in the layer palette, and choosing "New Layer…" from the context menu:
The "Create a New Layer" dialog will appear - it doesn't matter what it gets filled with, so you can leave it at whatever Layer Fill Type it's set at (White by default I believe). Hit OK to create the new layer.
We are now going to fill this new layer with some color to add some interest. To do this we will use the Plasma plugin:
I just left the default values and hit OK, but feel free to fiddle with the values. Our layers now look like this:
Here is what my canvas looks like right now (with the plasma layer on top and visible):
Now we're going to use the text we created earlier to generate a fake 3D shape on this plasma layer. The process is known as "bump mapping". I won't get into the technical details of how this works, as it is best seen rather than explained. Open the Bump Map dialog through the menu:
The Bump Map dialog gives a good preview of what the plugin does:
To get it working correctly, this plugin requires that you properly point to the source for the bump mapping. In our case the source is the text layer we created earlier (the layer was named "Visible"). So we'll click on the spinner for the Bump map, and choose our "Visible" layer from the list.
As before, feel free to play with the options. The only one that I changed was the Depth to increase the illustion of depth (I finally set the value to 6 in my example). Once it looks good, we'll hit the OK button to apply it to the layer.
Apply a Layer Mask
Now we are going to use a Layer Mask to isolate our bump mapped text. First we need to add a Layer Mask to the plasma layer:
Or Right-Click on the plasma layer and choose "Add Layer Mask…" from the context menu:
When the "Add a Mask to the Layer" dialog comes up, set the Initialize Layer Mask to: White (full opacity).
Once you've added a mask to the plasma layer, your layers should now look like this:
Remember, you can tell which layer (or mask) is active by noticing which one has the white border around it. The layers above show that the plasma layers mask is active (there is a white border around the white mask, so it's hard to notice, but no other layer/mask has a white border.
We are going to copy the "Visible" layer, and paste it into the layer mask for the plasma layer. So first, Left-Click on the "Visible" layer in the layers palette to activate it:
With the layer active, we want to now copy it:
Then we want to make the plasma layer mask active by Left-Clicking on the mask:
With the mask active again, we now want to paste the "Visible" layer back into the image:
This will now insert a Floating Selection (Pasted Layer) into your image:
To get this Floating Selection into the mask, we need to Anchor it:
This will Anchor the selection down onto the mask. Our image and layers should now look something like this:
We may now want to add a different colored background to help us fine-tune the results we have so far. Add a new layer to the image as we did when creating the plasma layer, and place it below the plasma layer. (You can click and drag layers to change their order in the palette).
Pick an interesting background color and fill the new layer with this color. The layers should now look like this:
It doesn't look bad, but we can perhaps tighten up the results by adjusting the mask a bit to clarify the edges of the text.
Adjusting the Levels
I want to clean up the edges of the text with what we have so far. Right now, the mask being used on the plasma layer is a copy of the gaussian blurred text. To make it sharper, we are going to adjust the levels on

Chad Orzel's young son recently read the classic children's book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. He asked his father how long it took the rabbit to say goodnight to everything. Orzel ran some calculations based upon the movements of the moon (pictured above) over the course of the story:
So, how can we use this to measure the passage of time? Well, we know that the full moon in the sky covers an angle of about half a degree of arc. On our big copy of the book, the diameter of the moon in the final illustration is just about 7/8" (I only have an English-unit tape measure here), while the distance from the corner of the window to the outer edge of the moon is 2 and 5/8", exactly three times the diameter. So the moon has moved through about 1.5 degrees in the course of the story.
Now, the Earth rotates through 360 degrees in just about 24 hours, which is 15 degrees per hour (the Moon's motion is slightly slower, owing to its orbital motion, but it's not a significant difference for our purposes). This suggests that the bunny's goodnight ritual takes about 0.1 hour, or six minutes.

Brainshark, Inc., delivering SaaS-based sales enablement and readiness solutions, today announced powerful enhancements to its sales coaching technology. Chief among them is a Practice Field for sellers – increasing sellers' confidence and competence, so they can master key messages.
Recognized with gold-level Stevie® Awards in The International Business Awards® for the past three years, Brainshark's sales coaching software helps organizations improve rep readiness through video-based practice, reinforcement, and assessments. Coaches and managers use Brainshark to issue assignments to their reps (e.g., "Show how you'd pitch this new product to this persona"), and reps record themselves – submitting a video through the system for review.
Now, with the new coaching Practice Field, sales reps can:
- Practice their messages and skills in a safe environment, with video "takes" automatically saved. Reps can preview and delete these takes, as needed.
- Share their practice videos with peers for feedback.
- Submit their best work for review by coaches/managers. Submitted videos can also be processed by Brainshark's artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Machine Analysis engine – generating rapid, automated insights about reps' ability to stay on-message, emotions and personality traits exuded, and more.
"When it comes to learning, as the saying goes, 'Practice makes perfect,'" said Brendan Cournoyer, vice president of marketing, Brainshark. "It's important that reps get that practice in a safe environment – so they're comfortable trying new things, and primed to learn and improve. With our new coaching Practice Field, reps can more easily hone their pitches and skills before demonstrating them to a manager or having a live customer interaction, when the stakes are higher. These new capabilities are yet another reflection of Brainshark's commitment to helping companies drive perpetual sales readiness and close more deals."
Additional Coaching and Learning Enhancements
Brainshark is also unveiling other capabilities and enhancements to its sales coaching and learning software. These include:
- Coaching: Timestamped Feedback. When providing feedback on a video submission through Brainshark's coaching platform, reviewers can now indicate specific moments by entering a time format (e.g., 1:34 or 1m 34s). Brainshark converts the timestamps to a clickable link, which jumps to that exact moment in the video – so sellers can instantly see the areas their coaches want them to focus on.
- Training/Learning: Course Completion Import. Users of Brainshark's formal training and continuous learning solutions can now upload reps' course-completion information for training events that occur outside of Brainshark (such as instructor-led training or webinars). This gives managers more flexibility to create broader learning paths, and enables them to save time by tracking course completion information within their existing workflow.
- Product Suggestions Forum. With Brainshark's updated Product Suggestions Forum, users can view, submit and vote on product improvements. This forum provides visibility into customer and employee suggestions, and enables users to more greatly influence Brainshark's product roadmap.


to build a robotic rabbit for John, which becomes instrumental to many events in Jade's session. After finally arriving in the B2 session, Jade greets Jake and Jane after saving them from a Lord English-ified Jack Noir, before becoming mind-controlled by The Condesce. While grimbark, Jade was notably more hostile towards Jake, treating him like an imbecile.
Other Characters[edit | edit source]
Jade enjoys talking to Kanaya Maryam because of their shared roles as Heroes of Space. She is not fond of Eridan Ampora at all.
She turned down Tavros Nitram's romantic advances, stating that he seems nice but that they hardly know each otherHS.svg. She was generally upset with him when she discovered he was responsible for her Grandpa's death, but quickly forgives him after realizing how the whole situation was a sad misunderstandingHS.svg.
The post-retcon version of Jade also befriended Alternate Calliope, finding solace in her company and stories during her long lonely journey through the Yellow Yard.
Gallery[edit | edit source]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
 - She was named by Zeitlos Eisen.
 - Jade is the name of a shade of green, green being her associated color, which is named after a semi-precious stone, thus pertaining to her associated classical element, earth.
 - Jade's eyes are green, matching her Pesterchum text color.
 - She mentions being unsure as to whether she is an American citizenHS.svg. She was "born" (read: her meteor landed) in mainland US, then moved to a Pacific island shortly afterward; this island is in international waters but falls within the exclusive economic zone of Baker Island, a minor US territory.
 - Having 'green fingers' or a 'green thumb' is an idiom for someone who loves gardening. This might tie into Jade's associated color and her love of gardening.
 - Jade is the first person ever to put a pumpkin in their inventoryHS.svg. It vanished, however, just like always. We later discover that this is due to Jake English using his Transportalizer to appearify a large number of pumpkins.
 - As god-tier Jade, her striped socks and red shoes are a reference to the Wicked Witch of the East in The Wizard of Oz, who was the original owner of the Ruby Slippers and was only seen by way of her footwear after being crushed by a house. A second reference to the Wizard of Oz was made in the form of Jade's second god tier level, Sayonara KansasHS.svg. A third reference was made by John and Jade nicknaming the Yellow Yard the yellow brick roadHS.svg. Additionally, in case you need your references really explicit: Ding dongHS.svg.
 - Her god tier design was designed by Lexxercise.
 - Although Hussie did not want to include a tail on her god tier design (and she does not have one in Homestuck), she is described to have one in the epilogues.
 - Interestingly, the two Jade blooded trolls and the cherub associated with green are also Space players and Prospit dreamers. Jade and Kanaya were also both the last ones to join their respective sessions.
 - Her associated lighter color can be an allusion to Calliope's lime blood, since they're both Space players. It could also relate to Karkat, since due to his position on the zodiac many have thought he would have been lime-blooded without the red mutation (this was effectively proven by the Extended Zodiac, which groups Karkat's colorless sign with the twenty-three Lime signs). Karkat is also noted to have numerous parallels with both Calliope and Caliborn.
 - In Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 1, Rose usesHS.svg the fandom-coined term grimbark to describe Jade's new werewolf-like state.
 - Based upon her birthday, aspect, and lunar sway, Jade's Extended Zodiac sign is Sagigo, the Creator.
 - The word 'gnostic', from her chumhandle gardenGnostic, comes from the Greek word γνωστικός gnostikos, "having knowledge", from γνῶσις gnōsis, knowledge. This may refer to Jade's strange ability to foresee certain future events.
 - Jade is the only Beta kid who follows through with the "____ like a ____ and ____ on your ____." gag after being introduced.
 - Considering Jane Crocker is related to Betty Crocker (a.k.a The Condesce) this would technically mean that Jade is also related to other members of the Peixes family such as Feferi or Meenah.
 - Jade is the only Beta kid that has a guardian of the opposite sex.
 - Jade has many connections to atomic science/history:
 - Uranium as her associated item
 - Bec was named after Henri Becquerel, first person to discover evidence of radioactivity
 - She lives on an island somewhere near the Marshal Islands, where the US ran 105 nuclear bomb tests, leaving the islands highly radioactive
 - The Green Sun may itself be a reference to the description of atomic bomb Gadget's explosion which was described as "a great green super-sun"
 - Something glowing green is often used to depict it being radioactive and Jade's powers often glow green

Sabic Innovative Plastics is testing six optical-quality grades of its Noryl compound as a potential replacement for polycarbonate in Blu-ray discs.
"Noryl has some advantages because it doesn't absorb moisture like polycarbonate, and it's more dimensionally stable," says Greg Harley, an engineer at Sabic's Polymer Processing and Development Center in Pittsfield, MA. Noryl is an alloy of polyphenylene oxide (PPO) and polystyrene.
Blu-ray, a very high-capacity storage format, offers opportunities for new materials because it uses a violet laser to read and write data. Conventional DVDs and CDs use red and near-infrared lasers. The Blu-ray data layer is closer to the surface, making it susceptible to scratches, but also creating a wider array of materials choices for the disc.
"With DVDs, the laser is reading through a substrate, so the material has to be transparent," says Harley. "You can use an opaque material, or any color you want, with a Blu-ray disc." The cover layer in DVDs typically consists of expensive solvent-casted polycarbonate film that is about 100 microns thick and is bonded with an adhesive to the substrate.
Noryl offers the opportunity to reduce costs for discs. For example, Noryl will not require a moisture-barrier layer and lacquer coating as required for polycarbonate. Because of its superior dimensional stability, a less complicated molding process leads to a higher yield rate.
Another aspect of the technical research at Sabic is development of an improved coating. The new Sabic material is said to combine functionality in one coating, eliminating extra processing steps.
The race to develop improved Blu-ray materials is accelerating because Toshiba has quit development of a competing high-capacity format, called HD DVD.

Meat Grinders
How to Use Meat Grinder
how to use meat grinder
It is easy to use the best meat grinder; assemble the grinder, place your meat on the plate, feed it down the hopper and then turn on the grinder. You then choose the speed you want the meat to be ground at, for KitchenAid, 6 to 8 is an ideal speed. You will be collecting your ground meat within no time. However, there are a few other things that are equally important. Here are some vital tips on:
How to Use Meat Grinder:
1. Keep Everything Cold
Keep everything cold
This is one very important consideration. Warm meat is bad for your grinder as it will smear, the fats leak out as well as have a cooked, pulpy and dry texture. To avoid this, ensure that your grinder spends an hour in the freezer before using it. Let you meat be well chilled up to the minute you start to grind it. For sausage meat which entails several grinds, place the ground meat into a bowl that is placed in another ice-filled bowl. This is to keep it well chilled.
2. Trim Your Meat
trim your meat
Smearing happens when the blade gets into contact with sinew thus making the blade become dull. The blade smooshes meat through the holes instead of cutting it. This results in a chewed up texture thus is in no way appealing. Therefore, trim your meat well
3. Look Out For Smearing
Smearing is visible and can, therefore, see it and correct it. Pieces of meat usually pass through the holes on the plate. In case you see both meat and fat coming out in one batch and often look wet and sticks on to the die surface, know that all is not well. Use the "reverse" function to fix the grinder if your grinder has one. Alternatively, disassemble the grinder, clean the blade and restart it.
4. Maintain a Sharp Blade
Maintaince sharp balde
The blade is one part that needs your attention. You shouldn't let it become dull as it will smear meat. However, you should know that most blades get better with repeated use. This is because of the microscopically grinding down of the metal thus making the contact between the plate and the blade tighter after every use. In case your blades become dull, sharpening them maybe once a year would be ideal to keep them in top-notch. You can as well opt to replace the blades once in a while.
5. Large To Small Plate
In case you need the very fine grind for your sausages, grinding the meat twice is the way to go. Start with the ¼-inch plate, chill the meat again and then grind it using the smaller die. This will not only produce finer pieces of meat but also avoid smearing. The more even grind will result in a fine-textured sausage.
6. Salt Meat before Grinding
salt meat before grinding
Salt dissolves some proteins and enables them to cross-link easier into a tight matrix resulting in the springier texture common in sausages.
Now you know that the best meat grinder doesn't always give you the best ground quality just like that. You need to take great care so that you don't compromise on the texture and quality of the ground meat.

Form Your Own Design Pattern Study Group (14 tags)
Like most complex subjects, design patterns are best learned over a period of time, not in a few sittings. Eric Freeman and Elisabeth Freeman, coauthors of Head First Design Patterns, suggest one way to ease the learning curve (and have some fun along the way): form a study group, using their book. If you're ready to get your engineering team together, the Freemans get you started in this article with a plan to follow and chapter-by-chapter questions to help generate discussion.
J2EE Design Patterns (7 tags)
Design patterns are a way of bringing clarity to a system architecture; they allow for the possibility of better systems being built. This article covers how to identify and use design patterns in J2EE apps, specifically for the presentation layer.
Understanding MVC in PHP (7 tags)
The most popular "proper" way to build a web application seems to be to use the Model-View-Controller design pattern. While it sounds complex, the concepts are sound and the ease of development it provides are compelling. Joe Stump shows how MVC can work in PHP by walking through working, example code.
Building a PHP Front Controller (4 tags)
It's a rare web app that doesn't span multiple pages. It's also rare that such an app doesn't have some common behavior. The Front Controller design pattern can simplify processing, behavior, and the user experience. Ethan McCallum explains how to use this in your applications.
Migrating to Page Controllers (2 tags)
Simple web apps can start simple, but when they grow more complex, they often need pruning and refactoring to be maintainable. The Page Controller design pattern can help separate concerns such as templates and logic. Ethan McCallum demonstrates this language-neutral technique with PHP.

Tennis great Arthur Ashe transcended his victories on the court to become one of the iconic figures in the history of American sports. Born in 1943, Ashe grew up in segregated Richmond, Virginia, where he learned to play tennis. As a student at UCLA he won the NCAA singles crown, joined the U.S. Davis Cup team as its first black member, and also began the training that led to his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Eventually he won 33 career tennis titles, including three Grand Slams. On and off the court, Ashe blended a touch of flamboyance with such grace, dignity, and intelligence that he earned widespread admiration. He also became a controversial spokesman for various causes, including the anti-apartheid movement involving South Africa. A heart attack in 1979 hastened the end of his tennis career; a second heart operation involved a blood transfusion that led to his contracting the HIV virus and, ultimately, AIDS itself.

Create a new table. You must have exactly one hash key, zero or one range keys, and up to five local indexes and five global indexes. You must have a range key in order to have any local indexes.
- IF NOT EXISTS
- If present, do not through an exception if the table already exists.
- The name of the table that you want to alter
- A list of attribute declarations of the format (name data type [key
type]) The available data types are
BINARY. You will not need to specify any other type, because these fields are only used for index creation and it is (presently) impossible to index anything other than these three. The available key types are
RANGE KEY, and
[ALL|KEYS|INCLUDE] INDEX(name). At the end of the attribute list you may specify the
THROUGHPUT, which is in the form of
(read_throughput, write_throughput). If throughput is not specified it will default to
- A global index for the table. You may provide up to 5. The format is
(name, hash key, [range key], [non-key attributes], [throughput]).
If the hash/range key is in the attributes declaration, you don't need
to supply a data type.. non-key attributes should only be provided if it
INCLUDEindex. If throughput is not specified it will default to
Schema Design at a Glance¶
When DynamoDB scales, it partitions based on the hash key. For this reason, all queries (not scans) must include the hash key in the WHERE clause (and optionally the range key or a local/global index). So keep that in mind as you design your schema.
The keypair formed by the hash key and range key is referred to as the 'primary key'. If there is no range key, the primary key is just the hash key. The primary key is unique among items in the table. No two items may have the same primary key.
From a query standpoint, local indexes behave nearly the same as a range key. The main difference is that the hash key + range key pair doesn't have to be unique.
Global indexes can be thought of as adding additional hash and range keys to the table. They allow you to query a table on a different hash key than the one defined on the table. Global indexes have throughput that is managed independently of the table they are on. Global index keys do not have a uniqueness constraint (there may be multiple items in the table that have the same hash and range key).

Demand response (DR) has becomes one of the tools mostly used in adjusting users' electricity consumption pattern and behavior on the electricity market. In this paper, a single-objective optimization model with multiple constraints is established. Based on the electricity demand-price elasticity and the credit mechanism, further consider the impact of factors such as income, environmental awareness, family member and age, a more realistic subsidy mechanism is developed by taking into account the heterogeneity of users. The actual electricity load and price data are used for numerical simulation, and the results of economic index and load factor show that this model is more effective than the model which only considers the demand-price elasticity and the results show that the model is practical and effective.

In Egypt, a lack of understanding of developmental disabilities means that children with Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Down Syndrome and other special needs are often kept at home and their education is ignored. For families in rural areas of Egypt who have a child with a mental disability, there are few resources available to support them with bringing up their child. Special needs also carries negative stigma, and parents can often feel isolated and unsure of what their child needs.
The Menara ("Lighthouse") Centre, located in Menouf in the Nile Delta, offers a safe and cheerful environment for 50 special needs children to learn and gain life skills. While providing both teaching and physical therapy for the students, the school also works to inform the parents of how to care for their children and realise their full potential.

In case, it you want to create un-tyed object use ExpandoObject.
dynamic employee, manager;
employee = new ExpandoObject();
employee.Name = "John Smith";
employee.Age = 33;
manager = new ExpandoObject();
manager.Name = "Allison Brown";
manager.Age = 42;
manager.TeamSize = 10;
Your's other option is to use anonymous class, but this will work for you, only if you would use it in scope of method, since it can't be passed outside or as a parameter.
But, IMO, to take full advantage of C#, it's better to switch programming paradigm to strongly-typed, that is C# is designed for.

In C# you could do:

Getting Interfaces to COM Object
IUnknown and IDispatch Interfaces
When you invoke the actxserver or actxcontrol functions, the MATLAB® software creates the server and returns a handle to the server interface as a means of accessing its properties and methods. The software uses the following process to determine which handle to return:
 1. First get a handle to the IUnknown interface from the component. All COM components are required to implement this interface.
 2. Attempt to get the IDispatch interface. If IDispatch is implemented, return a handle to this interface. If IDispatch is not implemented, return the handle to IUnknown.
Additional Interfaces
Components often provide additional interfaces, based on IDispatch, that are implemented as properties. Like any other property, you obtain these interfaces using the MATLAB get function.
For example, a Microsoft® Excel® component contains numerous interfaces. To list these interfaces, along with Excel properties, type:
h = actxserver('Excel.Application');
MATLAB displays information like:
 Application: [1x1 Interface.Microsoft_Excel_9.0_
 Creator: 'xlCreatorCode'
 Parent: [1x1 Interface.Microsoft_Excel_9.0_
 ActiveCell: []
 ActiveChart: [1x50 char]
To see if Workbooks is an interface, type:
w = h.Workbooks
MATLAB displays:
w =
The information displayed depends on the version of the Excel software you have on your system.
For examples using Excel in MATLAB, see:
Custom Interfaces
The MATLAB COM Interface supports custom interfaces for the following client/server configurations:
Limitations to custom interface support are:
 - Custom interfaces are not supported on a 64-bit version of MATLAB.
 - You cannot invoke functions with optional parameters.
Once you have created a server, you can query the server component to see if any custom interfaces are implemented using the interfaces function.
For example, if you have a component with the ProgID mytestenv.calculator, you can see its custom interfaces using the commands:
h = actxserver('mytestenv.calculator');
customlist = h.interfaces
MATLAB displays the interfaces, which might be:
customlist =
To get the handle to a particular interface, use the invoke function:
c1 = invoke(h,'ICalc1')
c1 =
Use this handle c1 to access the properties and methods of the object through this custom interface ICalc1.
For example, to list the properties, use:
 background: 'Blue'
 height: 10
 width: 0
To list the methods, use:
 Add = double Add(handle, double, double)
 Divide = double Divide(handle, double, double)
 Multiply = double Multiply(handle, double, double)
 Subtract = double Subtract(handle, double, double)
To add and multiply numbers using the Add and Multiply methods of the object, use:
sum = Add(c1,4,7)
sum =
prod = c1.Multiply(4, 7)
prod =

This is a tool that is used by the Microsoft PSS team to analyze PSSDiag data. This tool has the capability of loading the Profiler Traces collected (provided ReadTrace is installed on the box).
In addition to this, it also loads the other.OUT files and the PerfStats script output file into the Nexus database. I use this tool regularly to analyze PSSDIAG data due to the following reasons:
1. Saves me time from manually opening each file and looking through them
2. Based on the graphs provided in the reports, I can quickly drilldown to the major bottleneck
The SQL Nexus reports act as a brilliant guide when you are analyzing PSSDIAG for the following scenarios:
1. High CPU
3. High IO
4. General Performance Problems
Since, the SQL Nexus Reports use Reporting Services client-side report viewer, you can create your own reports to work against the Nexus database and then deploy them to the %appdata%/SQL Nexus/Reports folder. Once, this is done, the new reports would show up along with the defult reports every time SQL Nexus is launched.
What are the advantages of this tool?
1. Shows aggregation reports for the Profiler Traces loaded into it
2. Blocking and wait statistics information based on the PerfStats script output. This helps in analyzing blocking on the server
3. Since, the data collected are loaded into tables, you can run queries against the database to draw inferences. If you use these queries frequently enough, you can create your own reports and deploy them to the above mentioned location
4. You can export the data from the SQL Nexus Reports into files (.XLS,.PDF,.JPG etc) and send them as reports
5. The reports let you narrow down to specific time frames which makes analysis easier

John Glen Wardrop
John Glen Wardrop (c. 1920 - c. 1989) was an English transport analyst who developed Wardrop's first and second principles of equilibrium.
The concepts are related to the idea of Nash equilibrium in game theory developed separately. However, in transportation networks, there are many players, making the analysis more difficult than in games with small numbers of players.[dubious ]
In studies about traffic assignment, network equilibrium models are commonly used for the prediction of traffic patterns in transportation networks that are subject to congestion. The idea of traffic equilibrium originated as early as 1924, with Frank Knight.
In 1952, Wardrop stated two principles that formalize this notion of equilibrium and introduced the alternative behavior postulate of the minimization of the total travel costs.
Wardrop's first principle of route choice, which is identical to the notion postulated by Knight, became accepted as a sound and simple behavioral principle to describe the spreading of trips over alternate routes due to congested conditions.
Wardrop's first principle states: The journey times in all routes actually used are equal and less than those which would be experienced by a single vehicle on any unused route. Each user non-cooperatively seeks to minimize his cost of transportation. The traffic flows that satisfy this principle are usually referred to as "user equilibrium" (UE) flows, since each user chooses the route that is the best. Specifically, a user-optimized equilibrium is reached when no user may lower his transportation cost through unilateral action.
A variant on this is the stochastic user equilibrium (SUE), wherein no driver can unilaterally change routes to improve his/her perceived travel times.
Wardrop's second principle states: At equilibrium the average journey time is minimum. This implies that each user behaves cooperatively in choosing his own route to ensure the most efficient use of the whole system.[clarification needed] Traffic flows satisfying Wardrop's second principle are generally deemed "system optimal" (SO). Economists argue this can be achieved with marginal cost road pricing.
The first mathematical model of network equilibrium was formulated by Beckmann, McGuire and Winsten in 1956.

This happens when there are multiple domains and the outbound link for one or more domain is set to Direct Link mode via TCPIP. However, there is no IP address seen as it can be seen in the screenshot.
Corrective Action:
This could get very tedious specially when there are a lot of domains involved in a singel GroupWise system
1. Connect to the domain database in ConsoleOne for which MTA fails to load
2. Right-Click | GroupWise Utilities | Link Configuration
3. Check every outbound links for the domain.
4. If everything looks good then from the Drop down box select Primary Domain
5. Now check every outbound link.
Keep following the search process from steps 3 - 5 until you get the link as similar to screenshot above. Kindly check the links thoroughly to ensure nothing is missed.
6. Once the link is found verify the outbound links are for which domain
7. Connect to the domain database that was found in the above step and edit the outbound link
8. Toggle the setting and then save it.
9. Connect to primary domain database and rebuild the secondary domain. The MTA should now load without any errors.
Additional Information
Note: The observation generally seen when connected to secondary domain and checking the link configuration of a primary domain. When conecting the primary domain and then checking the link configuration may or may not display the correct information. Hence Toggling the link configuration and then rebuilding the secondary domain solves the issue. However, it can be that a secondary domain has got wrong info and not primary. The procedure remains the same.
Since this has got to do with link configuration, it can get quite confusing based on the complexity and number of domains and links set. Hence ensure that each link is thoroughly checked.

Aerial Robotic Fire Defender Drone (ARFiDD)
Name of the provider (company name or main contact name), or FIRE IN ID? Unisystems
Scope, rationale, context: general description. Precise here if this technology is currently use (eg. company name or contact info) ARFiDD is an innovative fire protection system against fires in open and forest areas, aiming to the detection of fire outbreaks and the support of firefighting, with emphasis on the initial fire intervention. The objective of ARFiDD is: a) The surveillance, in real-time, of large areas with a high level of risk and increased incidence of fire. b) The prompt and timely notification of first responders and services for fire ignition detected by the drones in the surveillance areas. c) A firefighting drone with a mission to extinguish and control fires detected by monitoring drones, with the use of special equipment, preventing the spread of the fire. This technology is a proposal submitted to the Greek General Secretariat for R&D and currently is under evaluation. The pilot area for ARFiDD is the Ainos National Park at Kephalonia island, where forest fires are very common and dangerous during summer. The system is designed to be delivered in the form of an Emergency Management Support Service, also an innovative approach, so that operators who use it are relieved of the cost of purchasing and maintaining specialized equipment and software, as well as qualified personnel. A monitoring, coordination and communication platform will be developed to standardize the ARFiDD system, which will make it applicable to different areas.

detection of fire outbreaks and the support of firefighting, with emphasis on the initial fire intervention. The ARFiDD integrated solution will consist of two types of drone (rotorcrafts), respectively A and B. Type A will be patrol drones with the task of monitoring, detecting and locating fire outbreaks in forests and open spaces and type B will be the drones of initial intervention. A-type will be equipped with a high-resolution camera for monitoring open areas, an infrared camera to create a spatial temperature profile and the detection of thermal differences in their field of view, atmospheric measurement sensors, distance measuring systems from ground targets (points of interest), and a communication system for real-time data transmission. B-type drones will also have a high-resolution camera, an infrared camera for hot spot detection, fire detection and temperature measurement, target approach control system, transfer and release system, on the perimeter of the fire, and dry foam spheres for immediate intervention and extinction. Both types will have an autonomous scheduled flight function and additional remote control from the ground station, if required during their mission.

However you do it, don't forget to make your partitions bigger on each side with some overlap.

The leading Milesian colony and later a republic, its economy centered around handicrafts and trade. Its prosperity resulted especially from the exportation of wheat. The period of its flowering was from the 6th cent. B.C. to the 3d cent. B.C. In the 2d cent. B.C., Olbia was incorporated into the Scythian state of the Crimea. About the middle of the 1st cent. B.C., Olbia was invaded by the Getae and others. By the end of the 6th cent. life in Olbia came to a standstill.

Yes. $(x,y,z) = (80,225,320)$ works, giving $25^2$, $340^2$, $2400^2$. There are infinitely many other (non-proportional) examples. – Noam D. Elkies Apr 17 '12 at 18:11

You're welcome. The initial solution is found by exhaustive search (scaling from $(16,45,64)$, though this turns out not to be minimal).

up vote 17 down vote accepted
Yes. By straightforward search the smallest example is $\lbrace x,y,z \rbrace = \lbrace 45,64,180 \rbrace$, with $$ (t+45) (t+64) (t+180) = t^3 + 17^2 t^2 + 150^2 t + 720^2. $$ Given any solution $(x,y,z)$ we may produce infinitely many others (other than the trivial scaling $(c^2 x, c^2 y, c^2 z)$) by using the theory of elliptic curves to find rational $z'$ such that $x+y+z'$, $xy+yz'+z'x$, and $xyz'$ are all squares, at which point $(d^2 x, d^2 y, d^2 z')$ works for any integer $d>0$ such that $d^2 z' \in {\bf Z}$. For example, in $\lbrace 45,64,180 \rbrace$ we may replace $64$ by $(460163992/28591599)^2$, and then multiply through by $28591599^2$ to obtain the new solution $$ \lbrace 28591599^2 \cdot 45, \phantom{+} 460163992^2, \phantom{+} 28591599^2 \cdot 180 \rbrace. $$
A complete parametrization is not possible, because it would be tantamount to a rational parametrization of the surface $$ S: xy + yz + zx = r^2, \phantom{and} (x+y+z)xyz = s^2 $$ in projective $(1:1:1:1:2)$ space, and that surface is K3. If I did this right, $S$ is a "singular" K3 surface, i.e. has Picard number $20$ which is maximal for a K3 surface in characteristic zero, and the Néron-Severi group ${\rm NS}(S)$ has rank $20$ and discriminant $-48$, and consists of (classes of) divisors defined over ${\bf Q}(i)$.
It is actually quite common for natural Diophantine equations to give rise to K3 surfaces of maximal or nearly-maximal Picard number, but that's a story for another time.
share|improve this answer
At an appropriate time, I'd love to hear the story of why natural Diophantine equations often give rise to K3 surfaces of maximal or nearly-maximal Picard number. – Henry Cohn Apr 18 '12 at 2:40
It's mostly a surprisingly long collection of examples; I don't claim to have a structural "why". Heuristically what seems to happen is that — assuming the Diophantine equation is of the right dimension and complexity to yield a K3 surface in the first place — there's enough divisors coming from trivial solutions, and often enough symmetry, that there's barely enough room for the Néron-Severi lattice to accommodate them all under the constraint of rank at most $20$. – Noam D.
