Set permissions for a node to be written to the database.
When a node is saved, a module implementing node access will be asked if it is interested in the access permissions to a node. If it is interested, it must respond with an array of array of permissions for that node.
Each item in the array should contain:
'realm' This should only be realms for which the module has returned grant IDs in hook_node_grants. 'gid' This is a 'grant ID', which can have an arbitrary meaning per realm. 'grant_view' If set to TRUE a user with the gid in the realm can view this node. 'grant_edit' If set to TRUE a user with the gid in the realm can edit this node. 'grant_delete' If set to TRUE a user with the gid in the realm can delete this node. 'priority' If multiple modules seek to set permissions on a node, the realms that have the highest priority will win out, and realms with a lower priority will not be written. If there is any doubt, it is best to leave this 0.

We have twice seen Mr.3 open seastone cage/cuffs with his wax powers, once in Alabasta and once in the war of the summit. How can his wax key not melt once inside the keyhole?
As stated in seastome wikia
Seastone only works upon direct and constant contact.
Which means it works only on devil fruit user not on the power or material they produce using power.
It has been shown that although a Devil Fruit user loses his/her powers when in contact with the Seastone, said powers can still be used on and affect the Seastone. Example is when Mr. 3's candle wax key could open Seastone cuffs and cell doors, though this may be because the locks themselves are not made of Seastone or because the wax has no Devil Fruit powers inside it, as shown when he unlocked Ace's Seastone handcuffs. Another example is when Shiki levitated battleships in Marineford, despite the hulls being lined with Seastone. Trafalgar Law was also able to switch Seastone chains with regular ones, using his abilities.
Another example is Aokiji Kuzan's ice formation power, which he uses it to make ice road on the sea to travel in his bicycle. Here the ice doesn't melt just because it came in contact with the sea.
And this is just the guess but seastone might melt if comes in contact with Akainu's lava where the temperature of lava is greater than melting point of seastone.
oda stated that devil fruit can't be affected after activating it, we can see it clearly when MR3 in marineford made a key to rescue ace, after the key was formed they could open, and also happened with aokiji when he did the ace age, so that means the seastones won't affecte on the devil fruit abbility after it activated

Changing notation in differential forms
Dear all:
I'm trying to compute the curvature of a Schwarzschild metric using differential forms (Cartan formalism),
sage: reset()
sage: var('t,r,theta,phi')
sage: coords = [t,r,theta, phi]
sage: U = CoordinatePatch((t,r,theta, phi))
sage: Omega = DifferentialForms(U)
sage: X = function('X', r, latex_name=r"\Xi")
sage: f = exp(X)
sage: vi =[]
sage: for i in xrange(len(coords)):
... vi.append(DifferentialForm(Omega,1))
sage: vi[0][0] = f
sage: vi[1][1] = 1/f
sage: vi[2][2] = r
sage: vi[3][3] = r*sin(theta)
sage: dvi=[]
... dvi.append(diff(vi[i]))
sage: dvi
[-e^X(r)*D[0](X)(r)*dt/\dr, 0, dr/\dtheta, sin(theta)*dr/\dphi + r*cos(theta)*dtheta/\dphi]
I'd like to know if it's possible to manipulate the result in a way that:
 - the term D[0](X)(r) in the last line could be written as X'(r) or just X'.
 - the dvi is expressed in terms of the vi-forms instead of the Omega-basis.
Any help is thanked.


text: Thermal stress can induce birefringence in a laser medium, which can cause depolarization of the laser. The depolarization effect will be very severe in a high-average-power laser. Because the depolarization will make the frequency doubling efficiency decline, it should be compensated. In this paper, the thermal characteristics of two kinds of materials are analyzed in respect of temperature, thermal deformation and thermal stress. The depolarization result from thermal stress was simulated. Depolarization on non-uniform pumping was also simulated, and the compensation method is discussed.

The aim of this paper is to obtain new necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniform exponential stability of variational difference equations with applications to robustness problems. We prove characterizations for exponential stability of variational difference equations using translation invariant sequence spaces and
emphasize the importance of each hypothesis. We introduce a new concept of stability radius for a variational system of difference equations with respect to a perturbation structure and deduce a very general estimate for the lower bound of. All the results are obtained without any restriction concerning the coefficients, being applicable for any system of variational difference equations.

Codes of Connection (CoCo) Consultancy
What are Codes of Connection (CoCo)?
A Code of Connection (CoCo) is used when a formally accredited information system wishes to connect to another "unknown" information system. There are a variety of reasons for wishing to connect information systems together, but they usually involve a requirement to exchange data and information.
This page explains how CoCo works, including services such as N3 and the Gambling Commission.
How does CoCo Work?
A code of connection works by the accredited system stipulating a baseline set of controls to be implemented, or commented on, by the connecting organisation.
These controls are usually selected from best practice (ISO 27002) or, more usually, various HMG Information Assurance requirements.
The controls can broadly be broken down into the following types:
 1. Technical, such as implementing an assured barrier between the two organisations or performing an IT Health Check.
 2. Procedural, such as ensuring that all security incidents are reported to the partner organisation.
 3. Physical, such as ensuring that the physical security of assets is adequate.
 4. People, such as ensuring that all staff involved have appropriate background and identity checks or appropriate education, training and awareness.
When the code of connection is completed, the accredited information system will assess the threat the connecting organisation poses. If it believes that the risks are acceptable, it will authorise the connection.
How stringent a code of connection is depends on the level of assurance required between the participant organisations.
What Specific Codes of Connection (CoCo) services are we likely to require?
 - Connecting to N3
 N3 is the integrated network for the NHS, a combination of broadband connections and network services which are intended to link all NHS sites in England and Wales. Our N3 Consultancy service will help you to comply with NHS security policies.
 - Gambling Commission

Estimating the girth of fish by applying an elliptic model
- A new method for estimating the maximum girth of roundfish is proposed as illustrated; this is based on an elliptic approximation of the cross sections of the fish body. Results derived from a small sample horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus, suggest that maximum girth estimates based on the elliptic model are more precise than the values estimated by applying a conventional method.

I'm attempting to create a simple line chart with d3, however for some reason it's filling between the line and some midpoint. Here's the output:
Line Chart
My javascript is the following:
 var width = 500,
 height = 500,
 padding = 10;
 var extentVisits = d3.extent(visits, function(obj){
 return obj['visits'];
 var extentDates = d3.extent(visits, function(obj){
 return obj['datestamp'];
 var yScale = d3.scale.linear()
 .range([height - padding, padding]);
 var xScale = d3.time.scale()
 .range([0, width]);
 var line = d3.svg.line()
 .x(function(d) {
 return xScale(d['datestamp']);
 .y(function(d) {
 return yScale(d['visits']);
 .attr('width', width)
 .attr('height', height)
 .attr("transform", "translate(5,5)")
 .attr("class", "line")
 .attr('d', line);
Where visits is of the form:
 visits = [{'datestamp': timestampA, 'visits': 1000},
 {'datestamp': timestampB, 'visits': 1500}]
I'm pretty new at d3 so I'm sure it's something simple, but it's driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance.

The midpoint you're seeing is just the connection of the first and last point. This is because the path you've created has (by default) a black fill. Even though it's an open path (i.e., the first and last point are not actually connected), if filled, it will appear closed:
The fill operation fills open subpaths by performing the fill operation as if an additional "closepath" command were added to the path to connect the last point of the subpath with the first point of the subpath.
Source: SVG specification via this SO answer
The solution here is to eliminate the fill and instead set a stroke. You can do this directly in JS with d3 or through CSS.
 fill: none;
 stroke: #000;

Recession Survival Strategies For A Chartered Accountant
Image Source: Google
They expect quality work, and they'll pay extra cash to an experienced professional chartered accountant in Sydney. Truly, accountants are in the ideal position of assisting their business to survive the downturn and its own fiscally messy aftermath.
The followings hints can help devise approaches to accomplish that:
1. Plan ahead. A respectable chartered accountant at Sydney understands the intricacies of fiscal planning. These financial experts attempt to predict the need in the forthcoming months. If you're among many public accountants in Sydney, then you understand this could be anywhere from a few months to a few years.
2. Assist your clients. If you can find a means to supply exactly the same (if not better) level of support at a lower price or at least, without raising the price tag, you've got a better prospect of keeping customers despite the financial recession.
3. Request discounts from providers. As they say, nothing ventured nothing gained. In an economic recession, competition for the company might be fiercer.
4. Use your tools wisely. If you're a chartered accountant at Sydney, you understand how to examine your accountancy requirements in addition to your organization.
5. Track prices. All companies have variable and fixed costs, as chartered cost accountants understand. Careful financial planning involves making comprehensive reports. Reports will be able to help you monitor and analyze prices.
6. Control expenses. Understanding what those variables are and placing steps to minimize its impact can help considerably in restraining prices.
7. Make strategic decisions depending on the large image. Think about the company your company is in and the market generally. As an expert accountant at Sydney, be informed of business and financial trends through surveys, investigations, and studies.

Raven is automatically gesturing too often Follow
If your Raven is mounted too close to your steering wheel, too close to the dash, slanted downward or is moving due to a loose mount this could cause frequent unintended gestures (short videos). If alignment is not an issue, the device may be gesturing due to an adhesive layer that needs to be peeled off. Follow the mounting directions below to rectify the issue.
Do not stack anything between the mount, adhesive, and dash:
Do not tilt Raven downward:
Incorrect: Tilted Correct: Level
If adjusting the location and view of Raven does not fix the gesturing issue, there may be a hidden plastic film on Raven's screen. Indications of an additional plastic film include:
- Under bright lighting Raven's screen does not look shiny and black
- Tiny bubble(s) on the bottom left corner of the screen. (See below)
- The screen easily scuffs
To remove the plastic film:
- Using a firm but non-abrasive tool, such as a business card, lift the corner of the film.
- Peel the remainder of the film off with your fingers.
*Proximity sensors on Raven are located in the center just above the displays on the front cover. If there is an object directly in front of the proximity sensor (within 10") then false gestures might be detected.

How to estimate earthwork construction period.
How to estimate the duration required to complete Earthwork Excavation? Estimation on the numbers of days required to complete the task by utilisation of machinery does not required complex calculation. All it take is simple mathematics and some knowledge on the efficiency of machine capability. Below is an example of the calculation.
1. Quantity of the Earthwork Excavation = 1000 cu.m.
2. The machinery needed = Excavator and Lorries
 Assumption : 1 no. of Excavator and 1 no. of lorry required.
 : Excavator need 3 minutes to make a cycle of excavation works.
 : Excavator Capacity = 1.5 cu.m
 : Lorries capacity = 10 ton
 : Lorry need 5 minutes to make a cycle of transportation.
 : Specific Gravity of the earth = 2.7
Base on the assumption, the calculation is as follows;
 a) Duration required to fill a 10 ton lorry
 : 10 ton lorry bucket capacity = 10/2.7 = 3.7 cu.m
 : cycle require to fill the lorry bucket = 3.7/1.5 = 2.4666 Cycle or 3 cycle.
 : hence, time required for filling the lorry = 3 cycle X 3 minutes = 9 minutes
 b) Duration required for lorry to complete a cycle of transporting and unloading =5 minutes
 : Therefore total time taken for one cycle of earthwork = 9 minutes + 5 minutes = 14 minutes.
 : 14 minutes is required to complete 3.7 cu.m of earthwork.
 c) Duration required to complete 1000 cu.m earthwork;
 : 1000 cu.m / 3.7 cu.m = 270.27 cycle = 271 cycle.
 : hence, time require to complete 1000 cu.m earthwork = 271 cycle X 14 Minutes = 3794 minutes
 d) Number of working hours per day = 8 hours
 e) Convert the Duration in minutes into days;
 : 3794/ (8 X 60) = 7 days.
Therefore total number of days to complete the 1000 cu.m of earthwork (cutting and cart away for a short distance) by utilised 1 number of excavator and 1 number of 10 ton lorry is 7 days. Hence your construction period is only 7 days. However this example is excluding number of unworkable day due to rain.
If the number of lorry is going to be increase to 2 then some correction can be make to the duration required to complete the whole cycle by by 5 minutes. this is because the waiting time for the excavator can be reduce by 2.5 minutes each for both lorry. Therefore the complete cycle can be consider as 9 minutes only.
With this free example hope that you will have nice time to plan for your earthwork construction.
 1. Aero Bina, thanks for the explanation. Can you also show work estimate for formwork & concreting as well. Thanks
 2. Anonymous, Thanks for the comments? How do you rate the information publish on this blog? As per Formwork & Concreting, I will include it in my post As soon as possible.
 I wish if you could state how do you want me to address yourself instead of being appeared as anonymous. Once again Thank you for your support.


Maintenance, the device and car repairs Ford Focus - 3.3. A control lamp of emergency pressure of oil//Ford Focus - mybestwatch.ru
Ford Focus>> System of greasing of the engine>> Control lamp of emergency pressure of oil
The control lamp lights up at pressure in the greasing system, equal 30 — 50 kPas which cannot provide existence of a necessary oil film in rubbing places of the engine. The lamp can light up also when the car goes on a bend with a minimum level of oil: as centrifugal forces arising thus move oil in a case towards turn and the oil pump cannot take away necessary amount of oil. After fast driving on автобану or at movement on lifting the lamp idling starts to blink, it is a sign of that it is not enough pressure of oil. As soon as the lamp by the first pressing a gas pedal dies away again, it should not cause in you concern, however let's burn with it long, cool the engine better.
If the control lamp burns constantly, act as follows:
- immediately stop and muffle the engine;
- check level of oil and if necessary add it. Otherwise go carefully before the following filling and add oil there. Check after that, whether the lamp dies away at the working engine;
- if the lamp does not die away, tow off the car in the next workshop and find out the reason by means of the expert.

Definition - What does Acomoclitic mean?
Acomoclitic is a term for a person who prefers bare or hairless genitals. Acomoclitics may look for hairless genitals in a partner, remove the hair from their own genitals, or both.
Acomocliticism is the opposite of pubephilia where people become aroused by the feel or sight of human public hair.
In the naturist community, where acomocliticism is common, an acomoclitic may be known as a smoothie.
Kinkly explains Acomoclitic
Acomoclitics may spend an excessive amount of time thinking about hairless genitals and have recurring fantasies surrounding this part of the anatomy. They may also exclusively choose partners who remove their genital hair. Acomoclitics typically enjoy both the look and feel of hairless genitals. Many acomoclitics also feel that hairless genitals are more hygienic.
Acomoclitics may remove their pubic hair using razors, hot waxes, or sugaring methods. Some acomoclitic couples find hair removal arousing and make this part of their foreplay.
While hairless genitals are often associated with prepubescent individuals, most acomoclitics insist they do not have a preference for very young partners. Instead, many feel that adults who remove their public hair appear more confident after taking control of their own bodies.
Acomocliticism may be simply defined as a preference like that for curvy women or tattooed men. In other cases, it is a clear fetish. Acomocliticism does not generally require treatment unless it begins to interfere with an individual's day-to-day life. Psychoanalysis, hypnosis, and behavioral and cognitive therapies are some methods for effectively treating acomocliticism.

Presenting a clear picture for Hoya Krimson Queen vs Princess comparison as they have a lot of similarities and differences from each other. The difference lies in the color of leaves or the variegation of leaves.
Hoya Krimson Queen leaves have a center which is of green color with white colored edges whereas the princess has leaves with a center of creamish or white color with green colored margins. Though there is little difference between the plants, the Hoya Krimson Queen shows faded pink colored flowers and has a brown colored stem, while the krimson princess has dark pink colored flowers with a pink colored stem that looks extraordinary.
These plants are popular among houseplants due to their beauty and elegance they bring indoors, placed on a wooden table. These plants are known for their super glossy and waxy leaves. They are so easy to grow that many beginners prefer to start the game with these plants. Just not that they look super attractive in the hanging pots so they are a great alternative to vines.
Hoya Krimson Queen vs Princess
In this article, we will let you know all the differences between these two plants and the related information that you need to know. So buckle up! And let's get started!
What is Hoya Krimson Queen?
Originally belonging to Asia and Australia, the Hoya Krimson Queen plans have the scientific name Hoya Carnosa Rubra that are popular for the lanceolate leaves that have no variegations and the reddish pink colored flowers that are ultra pretty.
What is Hoya Krimson Princess?
The Hoya Krimson Princess is a lot similar to queens as they also belong to the same culture that is hoya carnosa and are native to Asia and Australia. Their scientific name is Hoya carnosa albomarginata. The flowers of these plants have a pinkish appearance and look really unique. The leaves of these plants mostly have variegated forms of leaves.
As indicated before both of these plants belong to the same cultivar Hoya carnosa which is why they look related to hoya in different ways.
It is obvious that they belong to the same family and the family is Apocynaceae, which mostly has flowers star-shaped or star-shaped.
In Leaf Color, Size, and Texture
The leaves of Hoya Krimson Queen are larger than the princess. Even the krimson princess has thicker and more fleshy leaves which is not the case with the queen.
Also, the Hoya Krimson Queen and Princess leaves appear glossy due to the waxy coating on the leaves surface. The texture is present more on the leaves of the queen than on the princess.
The leaves of krimson queen have a white margin and the green color is deep dark with brown stems whereas the krimson princess plants have green borderlines with a creamy white center. The leaves have variegation that could be pink, white, or green in color.
The flowers of Hoya Krimson Queen are complete of pink color whereas the flowers of Hoya Krimson Princess have reddish pink colored flowers. Though both of the flowers are very pretty. The krimson princess flowers have a reddish center that looks really attractive and fabulous. Both of the plants will bloom in outdoor conditions instead of indoor conditions.
The Hoya Krimson Princess plants don't get much tall when they are indoors, reaching 4 ft in length only whereas when they are outside or in the native habitat they can get to the height of 16-18 feet. Anyhow these are still shorter than the Hoya Krimson Queen plants. The Krimson Queen plants reach 7 feet height indoors whereas 25 feet tall when outdoors.
The Krimson Queen plants grow with more speed than the Hoya Krimson Princess plants due to the low amount of photosynthesis doing pigment called chlorophyll in Krimson Princess plants.

The water needed depends on the thickness of the leaves. So the Krimson Queen with thin leaves demands water more frequently than the Krimson Princess plants that have thick leaves. You can water the Krimson Queen plant two times a week which is once a week for the princess plant.
The Krimson Princess plant needs more sunlight than the Krimson Queen. By this, we mean that the plant would do great if it gets morning direct sunlight. The Krimson Queen needs indirect and bright sunlight. These both are tropical plants but still, the sunlight requirement varies a little in both cases.
Using an organic fertilizer or compost is beneficial for the Krimson Queen plants. The compost would also be great for adding nutrients to the Krimson Queen but the Krimson Princess needs fertilizer that is diluted into half and then used. Both of these legendary plants don't need much fertilizer so make sure not to overdo it.
Which is more pricey: Krimson Queen or Krimson Princess?
The Krimson Queen lately is getting more pricey than the Krimson Princess. Though there's not a big difference between their prices. The average price of Krimson Queen plants is in the range of $30 to $50 whereas the price of Krimson Princess is in the range of $18 to $20, this price is based on the plant size. Though the price may vary according to the location.
Similarities between Hoya Krimson Queen and Krimson Princess?
- Have similar flowering seasons
- Both of the plants don't need much pruning
- Both Krimson Queen and Krimson Princess like humidity to be in the level of 70-80%
- The Krimson Queen and Princess both being tropical plants love humidity and also high temperatures that are in the range of 65-95 degrees Fahrenheit
- The Krimson Queen and Krimson Princess plant-like soil is well draining and has good aeration. Though these plants in the outdoor conditions hang on the other plants with the roots in the air. The potting mix you use indoors for these plants can be improved by adding peat moss, bark, and perlite.
- Both of these plants don't like repotting that much. They can still be repotted every 3-4 years into a large pot and well-draining soil.
Is Hoya Krimson Queen the same as Tricolor?
Hoya Krimson Queen has another name as tricolor as they are derived from the cultivar Hoya carnosa known for the variegated leaves and the colors on the leaves like pink, green, and creamy white making them really attractive.
Does the Hoya Krimson Princess turn pink?
There are chances that your Krimson Princess can change color which depends on the amount of sunlight they get in a day. If the pink leaves are showing on the plant there is nothing to worry about as the plant is getting the optimum amount of sunlight.
How do you make Hoya Krimson Queen pink?
By giving more or extended time of sunlight exposure the leaves of Krimson Queen can be turned pink. The light can be direct but not for too long a time, it's like you give them indirect sunlight for most ™ and for an hour provide the plant direct sunlight.

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

What are the uses of gabion mesh?
Views:0 Author:Site Editor Publish Time: 2018-06-27 Origin:Site Inquire
The gabion mesh can be used for slope protection, slope vegetation, filtration of harmful substances in water, protection of landslides, etc. It can also be made into gabion cages, mesh mats, etc. used for riverside protection to prevent soil erosion and cause unnecessary losses. Its flexible structure can adapt to the changes of the slope without being destroyed, and the better structure has safer stability; it has strong anti-erosion ability and can withstand huge flow pressure; it has water permeability and strong filtration of groundwater itself. Sexuality can make harmful substances in water precipitate in the crevices, and it is also conducive to the growth of local vegetation and restore the ecological environment.
The gabion cages made from gabions mesh have the following advantages:
 1. The construction is simple, effective and saves a lot of manpower and material resources, only need to put the stone into the cage and then seal it, no other technical skills, just artificial production, no machinery and other equipment.
 2. The production cost is low and the production of gabion cages will not cost too much.
 3, the overall image is clean and tidy, will not give people the impression of messy, and the protective effect is also better.
 4. The service life of gabion cages is relatively long. Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of Shilong nets can be as long as several decades. Moreover, there is no need for maintenance and there is no technical convenience. Because of this, we have adopted this technology in many riverside areas of our country.

text: A parametric study of the effects of binary interaction parameter and real-gas equations of state on the high pressure vapor-liquid equilibrium of nitrogen-n-dodecane system was carried out. Different values of the binary interaction parameter reported in literature, including one which depends on temperature, were employed in different equations of state to predict the vapor-liquid equilibrium as a function of ambient pressure and temperature. The findings were compared against the available experimental values reported in literature. Constant values of binary interaction parameter, estimated based on temperature dependent values, are demonstrated to predict the experimentally observed vapor-liquid equilibrium values accurately. The Peng-Robinson equation of state and an average binary interaction parameter were demonstrated to predict the vapor-liquid equilibrium over a wide range of temperature and pressures for nitrogen-n-dodecane binary system.

Palo Alto URL Filtering Order
What happens when a URL matches multiple patterns (multiple custom URL filtering categories and allow/block-list) within a URL filtering profile?
When that happens, the category chosen is the one that has the most severe action defined below (block being most severe and allow least severe).
1. block
2. override
3. continue
4. alert
5. allow
For example, if * exists in MyAlertList and MyBlockList simultaneously) within the same URL filtering profile the URL, the action will be "block" and the category name will be "MyBlockList". This is similar to the original behavior between "allow-list" and "block-list" in that the block-list will be checked BEFORE the allow-list if a URL matches both "allow-list" and "block-list".
The priority for URL filtering is:
1. block list
2. allow list
3. custom categories
4. cached
5. pre-defined categories
Above I'm pointing out in bold red that "custom categories" have a higher priority than the "pre-defined categories". This is important to know when building out your URL Filtering profiles.

We have Lotus Notes based application, which is accessed by several users. We communicate with our users by using mailboxes which reside on Domino server. With mailboxes migrating from Lotus notes to Microsoft exchange. What are possible ways to continue communications categories mentioned below:
1) Send normal email containing attachment to users. - Is it possible to send email from lotusscript when mailbox resides on microsoft exchange server? Any other solution.
2) Send email with buttons to approve or reject - How will it be done through Lotus notes when mailbox is microsoft exchange? In case we do not migrate mailbox however our clients access outlook mailbox is it still possible to send email containing approval buttons etc?
3) Agents look up mailbox regularly to receive communication from backend - Is it possible to access Microsoft exchange mailbox from Lotus notes so that we can process incoming emails? Any other solution?

1 Answer
1) You first need to setup your Notes Domain to be able to forward to an Exchange domain. Microsoft provides some help here: _URL_
As you migrate users, you'll change their person documents to point to "Other Internet Mail", and include their Exchange email address, so the Notes environment knows how to reach them. Up to this point, this is something a Notes Administrator would handle if you have one at your company.
After that, you can send to any Notes user normally from LotusScript. Attachments go through fine.
2) Approval buttons are not feasible because they require some level of interactivity to be sent back to Notes. When you send an email from Notes to Exchange, you're sending it over SMTP and usually in an HTML format. It's the same as if you send an email from Notes to someone across the globe - as soon as it leaves the Notes domain, the email is converted to a MIME-based email and Notes-specific buttons, embedded objects, etc won't be converted.
As an alternative, you could send a link to the Notes database and have the users click that first, then open up the database to approve. That's very easy if your Notes database is on Domino and accessible via a browser. If it's a database that requires the Notes client, and you're on Windows, you can programmatically create links to the documents using the Notes:// URL scheme, which can easily be sent in an email.
3) This is a "it depends" answer. What are you trying to accomplish? If you're reacting to emails sent from an application, you could perhaps send two emails - one to a user, one to the database within Lotus Notes that needs to run an action. Or, you can set up rules from Exchange that send emails to Notes to trigger actions. If you absolutely must react to emails sent to Exchange, you should look into using Rules in Outlook/Exchange, and perhaps VBA to gain finer control of what actions occur.

A dillybag or dilly bag is a traditional Australian Aboriginal bag, generally woven from the fibres of plant species of the Pandanusgenus.[verification needed]. It is used for a variety of food transportation and preparation purposes.
The dilly bag, otherwise known as yakou, yibali or but but bag, is a bag worn around the neck to hold food like berries, meat, fish etc. The Dilly bag is normally woven out of vines or tough dried grasses and sometimes had feather or animal fur inside the bag to stop small pieces of food falling through holes in the weave. Mainly used by women to gather food but can be used by men to help carry some tools for hunting.
Another use for the dilly bag (also named Mukurtu) was as a holder for personal or tribal artifacts. The "Dilly bag" term is also used to describe bags used by non-aboriginal Australians, for example a smaller food bag carried by swagmen along with their swags. The term is also used by Australians to describe similar bags for other purposes.


Top tips for avoiding Chinese customs delays
According to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, the value of UK exports to China have quadrupled between 2002 and 2012 and now stand at more than £12.5 billion, annually.
Any delivery into China has to go through Chinese Customs, and with that in mind, cross-border courier firm ParcelHero has put shared it's top three tips for avoiding customs hold-ups when sending shipments to China.
1: List each item on the Customs Invoice
The Customs Invoice or Customs Document is a crucial part of the customs clearance process for parcels to China. Customs Invoices should detail the items you are sending, their individual value and the reason you are sending them. The biggest mistake senders can make is to not list each item on the Customs Invoice.
ParcelHero's Head of Public Relations, David Jinks, says: "Many people will simply declare the contents of their parcel using one word, such as "Gift". They are unaware that Chinese Customs need more information about what is actually being shipped. When information is missing from the invoice it causes clearance delays. It's important to remember that Customs are a government authority and their rules are final and not negotiable.'
2: Provide valid contact details for the receiver
Chinese Customs authorities will contact your receiver as part of the Customs clearance process. This is a standard clearance protocol as China has extensive import regulations. The receiver or recipient of your parcel may be required to provide additional information to Chinese Customs. This could be an import licence, or confirmation of the reason for import. Therefore it's extremely important that you provide a valid telephone number and email address for your receiver in China when you book your parcel online. If customs are unable to contact your receiver then they will not be able to clear the goods for delivery.
3: Be aware of the Customs import regulations
Each country has different rules and regulations for what you can and cannot import. People are often unaware that they are responsible for ensuring the items they send to China are actually permitted for import into the country. Some items are prohibited, whilst other items may have specific restrictions in place in terms of quantities or values, so it's really important customers check the import rules and regulations for China prior to shipping. It's too late to check the rules after you have sent your parcel, and this could result in fines applied by Customs, or return shipping charges if your parcel is to be sent back.
goatChinese New Year will be celebrated around the world this week, as the Year of the Horse makes way for the Year of the Goat on 19 February.
The Year of the Goat is also referred to as the Year of the Sheep, and although this has led to some disagreements, it is generally accepted that both are names for the lunar new year. The symbol for the new year is 'yang' which can be used to refer to any sheep or goat.
According to some superstitions, most people born in the year of the sheep, or goat, will lead unhappy lives. Other superstitions around Chinese new year say that if you want to be lucky, you mustn't wash your hair on the first day of the new year, and you should wear red undies. Make of that what you will.


Black Granite Stains
Malicious Stone Doctoring
Do you have black granite stains, ghost marks or white rings? Should black granite change over time? Below is a quick Q&A on the possible causes and solutions.
What Is Malicious Stone Doctoring?
Temporarily altering the look of the stone without telling you. Making a gray stone black. Taking a black stone with a few imperfections or color variations and dying it a solid black.
Black Granite Stains
Why Are Stones Doctored?
Sometimes stones are maliciously doctored to obtain a higher price. Sometimes they are doctored to make them look like a more expensive stone but are sold for less.
Altering the color of a stone without telling you is most common with the black granites. The blacker the stone the higher the price.
How Is It Done?
An industrial oil or a shiny black wax is applied to the surface of a gray stone to make it appear blacker or darker. On other stones, a topical paint might be applied to change the color of the stone.
What Happens?
Over time the doctoring agent wears off leaving rings or marks lighter than your stone.
These marks or rings look like black granite stains.
How Do I Know If A Stone Has Been Maliciously Doctored?
Test The Stone Before Buying It:
Resined Slab
 1. Try the Lemon Juice Test.
 2. Wet the unpolished side of the stone. What color is it?
 3. Look at the edge of the slab before it is fabricated. The edges of a doctored stone will look like a varnish was carelessly applied.
 NOTE: The edges of a resined stone also look like this. Resining is a good thing but MOST high quality black granites are not resined.
After Installation:
Remember that a true stain is always darker than the stained material. A true stain is NEVER lighter than material that is supposedly stained. If the area in question is lighter than the rest of the stone it is either:
 - Surface Damage - Etching. Your stone is sensitive to acids.
 - Doctored - Your stone is dyed.
Does Granite Etch?
MOST granites do not etch but some do!
How Can I Tell If My Stone's Been Doctored Or If It's Etched?
Look at the gloss of the stone where the MYSTERY MARK is. Still shiny? Etches are dull.
What If My Stone Is Doctored?
 1. If you were unaware of the doctoring and you paid for a different stone than was installed, have the fabricator replace it with the correct stone. OR,
 2. Remove all of the doctoring agent and live with the color.
How Do I Avoid Buying A Doctored Stone? Lemon Juice Test
 - Test the slab you plan to buy. Lemon Juice Test.
 - Have the fabricator put in writing that the stone has no artificial colors or temporary dyes applied.
Will My Fabricator Knowingly Install A Dyed Stone?
MOST fabricators will not knowingly install a dyed stone.
"If doctoring produces a permanent result and it's disclosed to you, theres nothing wrong with it.
If the doctoring produces a temporary result and you are unaware of it, that is deceptive".

A GROUP of primary school pupils recreated the Tour de France with a ride along the Padiham Greenway.
Youngsters at Padiham Green Primary School cycled up and down the idyllic route in the event they had titled the 'Tour de Greenway'.
The Year 3 and 4 students were headed by headteacher Mark Dixon, and school teacher Jennifer Morton, who cycled on a tandem.
Miss Morton swapped the yellow jersey for a bridal dress to celebrate her impending wedding this summer.
The Year 3 and 4 classes have been learning about the First World War and the Tour de France as part of their studies. They have now learn about local soldiers who were killed in France during the conflict and have decorated the Greenway with information about them.
Youngsters from the lower years at the school lined the route to cheer on their fellow students as they cycled past.


Workaround for AWS IAM SSL certificate upload error for StartSSL cert
Posted on 2015-01-07
Amazon (AWS) CloudFront now supports using a custom SSL certificate so you can use your own domain name for HTTPS requests instead of having to use the Setup via the CloudFront console is easy: just pick the appropriate key from the list of keys you have uploaded to AWS IAM.
However, the IAM web console has no way to upload the key. You have to use the AWS CLI. Not hard, just a lot of parameters.
The command line blows up with a cryptic error:
A client error (EntityAlreadyExists) occurred when calling the UploadServerCertificate operation: The Server Certificate with name already exists.
Run it through openssl:
openssl rsa -in example.key -text >
Then delete everything up to the line -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- and save as example-aws.key
Step-by-Step Example
Generate a key and certificate request.
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -keyout example.key -out example.csr
You should now have two files: example.key and example.csr.
Upload to StartSSL and go through their certificates wizard. Save the result as example.crt
Transform the result to a format acceptable to AWS:
openssl rsa -in example.key -text >
Strip out everything from the except the RSA key. The following is a sed command line that will do it for you, but any text editor will work.
sed '/-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----/,$!d' >
Make the certificate chain. Download the appropriate intermediate and root certificates and merge them (just with each other, not with your new cert):
cat ca.pem >chain.crt
Upload to AWS IAM
aws iam upload-server-certificate --path /cloudfront/example/ --server-certificate-name example --certificate-body file://example.crt --private-key file:// --certificate-chain file://chain.crt
Extracted from a long thread in the AWS support forum.

Grokbase Groups Pig user March 2009
Thanks for the response... unfortunately the output I get is:
(, 1, 1)
(w, 1, 1)
(x, 3, 3) <--- $2 should be a '2' not a '3'.
(y, 1, 1)
(z, 1, 1)
Desired results:
x,3,2 <--- $2 should be a '2' and not a '3' because the values for 'x' are (a,b,b) and so there are only 2 distinct values.
I was able to get the output of (x,3,3) via another way
A = load 'test.csv' using PigStorage(',') as (a1,a2,a3);
B = group A by $0;
C = distinct B;
D = foreach C generate group, COUNT(A.a2), COUNT(A.a3);
...but to make it work as a distinct count I would like to achieve (x,3,2) not (x,3,3).
Would I need to write a UDF called COUNT_DISTINCT based mostly on the COUNT function? If so how?
Would replacing...
public void exec(Tuple input, DataAtom output) throws IOException {
output.setValue(count(input)); <--- I suppose this should return a count of hash keys or something???
} sufficient?
Thanks in advance,

jQuery Chart Exporting
Shield UI Chart supports out-of-the-box exporting to image and printing. These options are enabled by default, so there is no need to include any additional settings.
Further manipulation of these settings is done via the exportOptions section of the declaration of the control.
While exporting to PDF is not supported out-of-the-box, it can be achieved through custom code.
In order to achieve this, you need to send the image data to your server, where it can be exported to PDF. The following example demonstrates one such approach.
The steps to follow are listed below:
1. Get the chart instance using javascript: var chart = $("_TAG_").swidget().
2. Call chart.exportToImage() to render the chart as image.
3. Wait 100ms for the image box to show and find the image source: $(".shieldlightbox").find("img").attr("src"). The image src is a base64-encoded string that contains the image data.
4. Send the image data to the server for exporting. In this particular example, we send it to _URL_ for demonstration. The result is a JSON string with a URL that can be used to access the generated PDF.
Your server and PDF generation approach may be different, but the idea is to send the image data somehow so it can be converted to PDF.

- Essay on the Features of Departmental Stores
- Essay on the Essential Conditions for Success in Departmental Stores

- Essay on the Disadvantages of Departmental Stores
Essay # 1. Meaning of a Departmental Store:
A departmental store is a large scale retail business institution having a number of departments, each specialising in one kind of merchandise and expected to show profit for the department while remaining as a component of the entire business unit. It is, in a technical sense, a horizontally integrated retail business house with all departments under one roof.
In it, each department is a speciality shop such as textile department, drugs department, books and stationery department, video cassette department, etc. A consumer can hope to get all that he needs in a big departmental store.
That is why, it is remarked that a big departmental, store is a place where different sections or departments deal in articles ranging from 'pin to plane'. Such departmental stores are usually located in the central places of big cities.
Essay # 2. Features of Departmental Stores:
The main features characteristics of a departmental store are:
1. It is mostly organised as a joint stock company. Its organisational head is the board of directors with a managing director or a general manager entrusted with the implementation and execution of the policies and programmes formulated by the board. The General Manager coordinates the activities of various departments as their overall chief.
2. It is generally divided into several major sections to facilitate smooth working of the stores.
The major sections in it are shown below in a chart:
3. As regards the day-to-day working, the departments enjoy independence and freedom but all are owned, managed and controlled centrally.
4. It concentrates in one place opportunities for the satisfaction of innumerable wants of the consumers.
5. Having been located in the central place or shopping centers of a city, a departmental store can attract people from all parts of the city and others who came to the city from outside.
Essay # 3. Essential Conditions for Success in Departmental Stores:
(1) The organisational structure of a departmental stores must be sound enough to facilitate coordination among the departments.
(2) The departmental managers must be given due freedom with respect to their day-to-day activities.
(3) The policies and programmes for the management and control must be uniform for all departments.
(4) The shopping for the consumers, particularly housewives, should be easy through a provision of a whole range of goods belonging to different lines in the same building.
(5) Certain services outside the scope of ordinary business such as car parking, cafeteria, telephone, recreational facilities, etc. should be provided to attract the customers.
Lastly, attractive show-windows, display of products, skilled salesmen, low operating costs, etc. are also the essential factors for the success of a departmental store.
Essay # 4. Organisation Structure of a Departmental Store:
Essay # 5. Advantages of Departmental Stores:
As a form of large-scale retail business institution, the departmental store possesses the following advantages:
1. Economy in Purchases:
As regards the purchasing function, a departmental store plays the role of a wholesaler. It buys goods in bulk direct from the manufacturers, enjoys discounts and rebates and credit facilities, and thereby incurs lower freight charges. This centralised buying lowers down the unit cost prices of the goods. Employment of expert buyers for the departments is possible with a view to achieving economy.
2. Effective Advertising:
Being large in size and having diversity in different lines of products and services, a departmental store can afford to advertise on a bigger scale through press and other media of publicity. It can also decorate its departments with attractive show-windows for display of goods with a view to attracting customers.
3. Increase in Sales Turnover:
Having been located in central positions and in popular shopping centers, people from all parts of the city and others who came to the city from outside patronise the departmental store. Moreover, the consumers can buy their requirements of varied kinds under one roof. These factors lead to increase in the sales turnover.
4. Non-Business Services:
A modern departmental store does not confine itself merely to the business activities concerning the products being dealt in through the departments. Various non-business services like car-parking, cafeteria, telephone and telex, and recreational facilities provide additional advantages and benefits which are of definite attraction to the customers.
Essay # 6. Disadvantages of Departmental Stores:
Inspite of the above-stated advantages, a departmental store suffers from the following limitations or disadvantages:
1. Locational Unsuitability:
Due to expansion in the urban conglomeration, the limits of a city have widened. The centralised location of a departmental store becomes unsuitable to the vast majority of consumers who live at rather long distances from the central parts of the city.
According to J. Stephenson, a departmental store can obtain the shopping trade by being centrally located but the trade in articles of everyday use, which are frequently wanted at short notices, goes to their smaller rivals who are located near the houses of their customers.
2. High Operating Costs:
High rental for the premises because of central location in a city, excessive and exotic non-business services (e.g. cafeteria, telephone, etc.) provided, high salaries and wages to the officials and staff, -higher costs of decoration and maintenance, etc. increase the burden of selling expenses.
These have great impact on the fixation of product selling prices on account of these cost factors, and a departmental store finds it difficult to sell the products at reasonable prices. Thus the customers are mostly restricted to the well-to-do sections of the society.
3. Lack of Personal Element:
Like small retail shops, a departmental store cannot attend to the customers' needs and fancies as the customers are lost in the multitude that gathers in the store. The customers who are interested in personal attention by the salesmen do not prefer a departmental store and rather make their purchases from smaller retail stores.


Item Pipeline
After an item has been scraped by a spider, it is sent to the Item Pipeline which process it through several components that are executed sequentially.
Each item pipeline component (sometimes referred as just "Item Pipeline") is a Python class that implements a simple method. They receive an Item and perform an action over it, also deciding if the Item should continue through the pipeline or be dropped and no longer processed.
Typical use for item pipelines are:
 - cleansing HTML data
 - checking for duplicates (and dropping them)
 - storing the scraped item in a database
Writing your own item pipeline
Writing your own item pipeline is easy. Each item pipeline component is a single Python class that must implement the following method:
process_item(item, spider)
This method is called for every item pipeline component and must either return a Item (or any descendant class) object or raise a DropItem exception. Dropped items are no longer processed by further pipeline components.
 - item (Item object) – the item scraped
 - spider (BaseSpider object) – the spider which scraped the item
Additionally, they may also implement the following methods:
This method is called when the spider is opened.
Parameters:spider (BaseSpider object) – the spider which was opened
This method is called when the spider is closed.
Parameters:spider (BaseSpider object) – the spider which was closed
Item pipeline example
Price validation and dropping items with no prices
Let's take a look at the following hypothetic pipeline that adjusts the price attribute for those items that do not include VAT (price_excludes_vat attribute), and drops those items which don't contain a price:
from scrapy.exceptions import DropItem
class PricePipeline(object):
 vat_factor = 1.15
 def process_item(self, item, spider):
 if item['price']:
 if item['price_excludes_vat']:
 return item
Write items to a JSON file
The following pipeline stores all scraped items (from all spiders) into a a single items.jl file, containing one item per line serialized in JSON format:
import json
class JsonWriterPipeline(object):
 def __init__(self):
 self.file = open('items.jl', 'wb')
 def process_item(self, item, spider):
 return item
Activating an Item Pipeline component
To activate an Item Pipeline component you must add its class to the ITEM_PIPELINES list, like in the following example:
Item pipeline example with resources per spider
Sometimes you need to keep resources about the items processed grouped per spider, and delete those resource when a spider finishes.
An example is a filter that looks for duplicate items, and drops those items that were already processed. Let say that our items have an unique id, but our spider returns multiples items with the same id:
from scrapy.xlib.pydispatch import dispatcher
from scrapy import signals
from scrapy.exceptions import DropItem
class DuplicatesPipeline(object):
 def __init__(self):
 self.duplicates = {}
 dispatcher.connect(self.spider_opened, signals.spider_opened)
 dispatcher.connect(self.spider_closed, signals.spider_closed)
 def spider_opened(self, spider):
 self.duplicates[spider] = set()
 def spider_closed(self, spider):
 del self.duplicates[spider]
 def process_item(self, item, spider):
 if item['id'] in self.duplicates[spider]:
 return item

Straw and silk ribbon
Given by N A Bicknell
Museum no. T.59-1936
The printed hat band on this child's straw hat depicts the aeroplane flown by French aviator Louis Bleriot (_PHONE_) on the first flight across the English channel, in July 1909. The flight is significant in aviation history because it was the first time a plane was flown across a large body of water.
The hat is of a popular shape for children in this period. The green petersham edging on the brim of the hat is also used at the centre of the crown. This green ribbon motif is decorated with large silk embroidery stitches, a style of embellishment which was frequently used in women's fashionable dress at the end of the first decade of the 20th century.


Difference between T301 and T311
Hi LTE experts,
Can anyone briefly explain the solid difference between T301 and T311?
T311 starts while initiating RRC Reest, stops at cell found.
T301 starts at RRC Reest Request, and stops at Success or failure.
The difference is when each one is stopped.
T301 Stops at the Receipt of RRC Connection Re-establishment OR RRC Connection Re-Establishment REJECT message OR when selected cell becomes unsuitable to continue further.
T311 stops upon selection of suitable E-UTRA cell OR a cell using another RAT
In other words, T311 is for finding a cell after RLF to send Reest message, R301 is to get out of RLF by sending Reest message.
Yes, T311 is about selecting a cell in due time.

Definition and meaning of the idiom "foot the bill"
What does the idiom "foot the bill" mean? How can I use the idiom "foot the bill in a full sentence?"
You may even encounter a native speaker using the idiom "to foot the bill." This saying, counter-intuitively, has nothing to do with feet. By saying this, the speaker is stating that they will pay the bill.
For example, "William often dines with us, but he never foots the bill" which simply means, he never pays.
Moreover, the person who foots the bill only means he/ she pays the entire bill. The idiom is most often used with dining but can be applied to anything.
Examples of the idiom foot the bill
- Riley footed the bill as he had gotten a raise.
- Fran always has an excuse when it comes time to foot the bill.
- His father footed the bill for his college education.
- The company foots the bill for all business lunches.
- Ryo hates taking favors, hence always foots the bill when he goes for lunch with his friends.
Q1: Try and make your own sentence using the idiom "foot the bill".
Q2: Who foots the bill usually among your friends?
Q3: Should the man of the woman foot the bill on a date? Why?

📤 Drawer View is a custom UI component replication of Apple's Apple Music player and Shortcuts components view (also can be seen in Maps app).
drawer-view is availabe via CocoaPods
pod 'drawer-view', '~> 1.0.1'
You can always use copy-paste the sources method 😄. Or you can compile the framework and include it with your project.
📺 Demo
Please wait while the.gif files are loading... (they are about 25Mb)
🍱 Features
 - Easy to use
 - You only need to instantiate a class called DrawerView and add your UI components.
 - Flexible API
 - Includes a number of customization points that allows to decorate the DrawerView as you'd like.
 - Callbacks
 - You can use built-in callbacks in order to integrate animations or get the state changes.
 - Behavior
 - You may tell the component to close the drawer when the device is rotated or user interacts with the child components.
 - Autolayout
 - You don't need to do anything related to autolayout - the component properly handles all the changes. The only thing you need to do is to add your UI components and make sure that aulayout constraints are properly setup for them.
📚 Code Samples
The most simple instantiation: you only need to provide the superview:
let _ = DrawerView(superView: view)
You can specify how much space will be between top anchor of the DrawerView and the superview by setting topLayoutGuidePadding property and how tall the DrawerView will be when it is closed by setting closedHeight property:
let _ = DrawerView(topLayoutGuidePadding: 100, closedHeight: 82, superView: view)
You can specify blur effect and its type. It will be animated alongside with the drawer view. There are several styles for blur:
let _ = DrawerView(blurStyle:.light, superView: view)
By default the DrawerView will include a visual indicator called LineArrow. LineArrow is an indicator that decorates the view and helps a user with interaction. You can change the properties of the indicator by setting its height, width and color:
let _ = DrawerView(lineArrow: (height: 8, width: 82, color:.black), superView: view)
// Or you can set 'nil' in order to turn the indicator off
You can change the behavior of the component when a device is rotated. By default the DrawerView will not be closed when a device is rotated. However, you can change this behavior:
drawerView.closeOnRotation = true
You can programmatically change the state of the component:
drawerView.change(state:.open, shouldAnimate: true)
By default, interactions with the child views don't affect the DrawerView anyhow. However, you can change this behavior and allow the DrawerView to be dismissed when one of the child views are interacted:
drawerView.closeOnChildViewTaps = true
There is an animation closure that is used to animate the external components alongside with the DrawerView:
drawerView.animationClosure = { state in
 switch state {
 case.open:
 someOtherView.alpha = 1.0
 case.closed:
 someOtherView.alpha = 0.0
You can optionally specify a completion closure that gets called when animation is completed:
drawerView.completionClosure = { state in
 switch state {
 case.open:
 case.closed:
The third and final callback closure can be used to get DrawerViewstate changes:
drawerView.onStateChangeClosure = { state in
 state ==.closed? showDialog() : doNothing()
Also there are many other properties that be customized:
drawerView.cornerRadius = 60
drawerView.animationDuration = 2.5
drawerView.animationDampingRatio = 0.9
drawerView.shadowRadius = 0.25
drawerView.shadowOpacity = 0.132


Nokia Drive 3.1 - Where does My Commute in Nokia Drive retrieve the traffic info from?
The traffic info for My Commute is collected from various sources:
 - Incident reports: Incidents range from jams on highways to planned construction works. These reports come often from local authorities such as the police or a local traffic management central. In many areas we have partnerships with the local authorities who will send the information to us.
 - Highway sensors: Many metropolitan areas have statically installed traffic flow sensors that measure the current average speeds on highways and major roads.
 - Crowd-sourcing: While the incident reports are very punctual and the installed sensors usually focused on major highways, we are also using the wisdom of the crowd to understand the traffic situation over the whole city. These are for example Nokia smartphones running Nokia Drive. People who are consuming traffic information can also improve the service by providing anonymous information about their current travel speed.
 - Historic information: The above information is archived and assumptions are made about the current speed on a street based on the historic information if there's not enough information from sensors or probes. Many streets in a city have a very regular pattern, e.g. the same traffic jam every morning but fast during night times.
 - Modelling: In many cases the traffic situation on the whole street network can be deducted from partial information. E.g. from a heavy jam on a highway one can often deduct the situation on the slip road entering the highway as well as the streets just before that.

The Influence of Low Melt Point, High Modulus Fibers in Blended Fiber Ballistic Resistant Nonwovens
Type of DegreeThesis
Polymer and Fiber Engineering
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this research was to examine the presence of a thermal phase change as a means of energy dissipation in nonwoven needlepunched felts used in soft body armor applications. The investigation was carried out using Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Polarized Light Microscopy and standardized V50 ballistic testing. A mathematical formula was developed to approximate the residual kinetic energy of the nonwoven felt. The overall conclusion from the testing was that a thermal phase change did occur as a result of projectile impact; however, the energy dissipation ensuing from this phase change has not proven to be a major contribution to the nonwoven felt's elevated anti-ballistic properties.
