text: In order to gain a deep insight into the mechanism of Ni-doped Mo activated sintering process, the diffusion behavior of Mo-Ni interface was studied utilizing a Mo-Ni diffusion couple. The phase structure and composition on the diffusion layer were characterized and analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope, the self diffusion coefficient and interdiffusion coefficient were calculated. The results show that a diffusion layer is formed between Mo and Ni after sintering at 1223k for 1h, which is comprised of a δ-NiMo intermetallic compound and a limit solid solution containing small amounts of nickel. The self diffusion coefficient and interdiffusion coefficient are 2.068×10-18cm2/s and 4.5×10-12cm2/s, respectively. It is suggested that the diffusion rate of Mo in δ-NiMo intermetallic compound and a limit solid solution containing small amounts of nickel is 106 times bigger than that of self diffusion, and the intermetallic compound layer provides a short diffusion path for Mo activated sintering.

Changing the Cube Date Format
The projects that are available for download from the CubeStore have a default date format set in the cubes of "MM/DD/YY". This can be easily changed in the project to accommodate various regional preferences.
To alter the default date format, change the Date table in the staging database. The table will have a clock icon next to it and it is possible that this table is in the data warehouse depending on the version of the project that was downloaded from the CubeStore.
 1. Expand the Date table found in the staging database in the Jet Data Manager and identify the DisplayDate field.
 2. Right-click on the "Custom value" and select Edit Custom Transformation. The Custom Transformation window will appear.
 The number value "1" is part of the SQL "CONVERT" function and represents the "MM/DD/YY" format. The "1" should be replaced with the appropriate number that represents the desired format. A list of formats can be viewed under the Remarks section at the following link: Cast and Convert. In this example we will use the British/French standard which is represented by the number "3".
 3. Click Ok and then deploy and execute the Date table in the data warehouse.
 4. Click on the Cubes tab in the Jet Data Manager and deploy and execute the OLAP Servers node at the top of the Cubes tab.
 The default date format was originally set to "MM/DD/YY" which would display as the following in Excel:
 5. Once the change has been implemented, deployed and executed in the Date table in the staging database, data warehouse and cubes, viewers will see dates with the designated date format in Excel. In this example: "DD/MM/YY".

How to convert watts to kVA
Watts to kVA calculation formula
The apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (kVA) is equal to the real power P in watts (W), divided by 1000 times the power factor PF:
S(kVA) = P(W) / (1000 × PF)
So kilovolt-amps are equal to watts divided by 1000 times the power factor.
kilovolt-amps = watts / (1000 × PF)
kVA = kW / (1000 × PF)
What is the apparent power in kilovolt-amps when the real power is 3000W and the power factor is 0.8?
S = 3000W / (1000 × 0.8) = 3.75kVA

Red & White Spectators Shoes!
Red and White Spectator Shoes
The following selection features our popular Red and White Spectators Shoes styles.
(Click Here) Shop All Red and White Spectators Shoes Styles
The Spectator shoe (British English: Co-respondent shoe) is a style of low-heeled, oxford, semi brogue or full brogue constructed from two contrasting colors, typically having the toe and heel cap and sometimes the lace panels in a darker color than the main body of the shoe.[ This style of shoe dates from the nineteenth century but reached the height of popularity during the 1920s and 1930s.
Common color combinations include a white shoe body with black, brown tan toe and heel caps, but other colors can be used. The spectator is typically an all leather shoe, but can be constructed using a canvas, mesh or suede leathers.
For women, spectator pumps have been considered, during certain periods, to be very high fashion and a kind of dress shoe, After their loss of popularity in the early 1950s, when sling-backed and sandaled, thinner pumps became stylish, they returned to fashion in the early 1980s. Perennially favorite in England, their high-fashion appeal went with the polka dot and black-and-white, red-and-white, navy-and-white, etc. combination dress ensembles trendy during this time. With their white color, spectator shoes are most appropriate for women's spring and summer wear.
Spats (originally a contraction of spatterdashes) are a type of classic shoe accessory covering the instep and ankle. Spats were primarily worn in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Spats should not be confused with gaiters which are garments worn over the shoe and lower pants leg, and used primarily as protective equipment.
French infantry wore white spats for parade and off duty wear until 1903. Italian soldiers wore a light tan version until 1910 and the Japanese wore long white spats or guaiters during 1905.
Spats continue as a distinctive feature of the Scottish dress of Highland pipe bands, whether civilian or military. The modern Royal Regiment of Scotland, into which all Scottish line infantry regiments were amalgamated in 2006, retain white spats as part of their uniform. Prior to that date most Scottish infantry units in the British Army wore spats. For Highland regiments in kilts, spats reached halfway up the calf. For Lowland regiments in spats were visible only over the boots.
Most regiments of the modern Indian Armies wear long white spats into which trousers are tucked, as part of their parade dress. Other full dress uniforms which still include spats are those of the Finnish Army. In the Finnish Navy, spats are part of the winter uniform. The U.S. Navy Honor Guard and Rifle Guard still wear them while performing ceremonies.
Spats are still used as a traditional accessory in many marching band uniforms in the United States.
The Brogue wingtip is a style of low-heeled shoe or boot traditionally characterized by multiple-piece, sturdy leather uppers with decorative holes (or "broguing") and serration along the pieces' visible edges. Modern brogues trace their roots to a rudimentary shoe originating in Scottland and Ireland that was constructed using untanned hide with perforations that allowed water to drain from the shoes when the wearer crossed wet terrain such as a bog. Brogues were traditionally considered to be outdoor or country footwear not otherwise appropriate for casual or business occasions, but brogues are now considered appropriate in most contexts. Brogues are most commonly found in one of four toe cap styles (full or "wingtip", semi-, quarter and longwing) and four closure styles oxford, derby, ghillie and monk. Today, in addition to their typical form of sturdy leather shoes or boots, brogues may also take the form of business dress shoes and sneakers or any other shoe form that utilizes or evokes the multi-piece construction and perforated, serrated piece edges characteristic of brogues.

I know that an infinite set can be partitioned into 2 infinite subsets.
Can one partition an infinite set into finitely many infinite subsets?
share|improve this question
Are you asking that given an infinite set, can that set be partitioned into $n$ infinite sets for all $n$? – ferson2020 Jan 30 '13 at 16:26
In fact, you can also partition it into infinitely many infinite sets. For example, with the set $\mathbb N$, you can let $A_n=\{k\in\mathbb N\mid k=2^nm\text{ with }m\text{ odd}\}$ for $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ – Hagen von Eitzen Jan 30 '13 at 16:30
Let $n$ be given. Partition the integers into those that are multiples of $n$, those that leave a remainder of 1 when divided by $n$, those that leave a remainder of 2 when divided by $n$,... and those that leave a remainder of $n-1$ when divided by $n$. – MJD Jan 30 '13 at 17:20

Well, if you can do it with 2, you can keep partitioning one of them.

Ok, thanks Andreas. – student Jan 30 '13 at 16:26
Of course. We do it by induction.
Theorem: If $A$ is an infinite set and $n>0$ is a natural number then we can write $A$ as a disjoint union of $n$ infinite sets.
Proof. For $n=1$ this is obvious, so we actually start with $n=2$.
For $n=2$ we can do it because every infinite set can be split into two infinite sets.
Suppose that we can split $A$ into $n$ parts, $A_1,\ldots, A_n$. Each is infinite, split $A_n$ into $B$ and $C$, and so the partition $A_1,\ldots,A_{n-1},B,C$ is a partition of $A$ into $n+1$ parts. $\square$

Weather in Limassol
Weather Forecast Limassol
Limassol is situated on the southern coast of Cyprus and has a typical Mediterranean climate having hot summers and soft winters. It is located between the ancient cities of Amathus and Kourion. Shipping and International transportation were always of vital importance to the island of Cyprus, and shipping remains still one of the major activities of the busy Business community of Limassol. Its population is approximately 180,000 and Limassol is the second largest city on the island, but yet the largest geographically.
Limassol is also the perfect spot for vacation due to its amazing beaches, exciting archaeological sites and beautiful mountain villages in the Troodos mountain range which is lying to the north of the city. With that being said, the island has a key role in strengthening the economy of Cyprus, especially during the summer season when tourists combine a morning by the beach and an evening enjoying the beautiful sky up on the mountains. Tourists also love Limassol due to its many traditional festivals and celebrations like the infamous wine festival. Moreover, the renowned nightlife of the town with thousands of discos, clubs and bars right on the beach, gives holiday makers a unique feeling of freedom.
Summer is the most popular season for tourists who visit Limassol since they are able to enjoy a lot of water sports and sunbathing when the weather is too hot for other activities such as sightseeing and walking around the city. In May and October, temperature is averaging around 23°C while during June, July, August and September the temperature can reach up to 34°C, especially in August. During the evenings, however, it is much cooler due to late afternoon mild winds coming from the Mediterranean Sea. As it was said before, during August, the temperatures can rise up to 34°C so you are advised to take the necessary precautions to avoid sunburns. Humidity is also very high in Limassol during the summer months, which can be a little uncomfortable, so you are advised to be dressed lightly and drink a lot of water and other liquids. Leave Beer and alcohol for your evening outings to the many traditional restaurants and busy nightspots
The winter in Cyprus is very mild compare to northern European countries. December and January have approximately 8 days of rain each which makes them the rainiest winter months. The two coldest months however, are January and February during which the temperature hardly ever reaches above 18°C during the day and 9°C during night time. The winter season begins in early December and lasts until about the end of February. Even during winter times, there are also approximately 5 or 6 hours per day when the sun is out there are also days when winds are so strong that can lead to storms. During December, the average minimum temperature is 6°C, 7°C during January and 8°C during February. During the day, the temperatures vary depending on the wind and on whether or not there is sun but it can rise up to 20°C.
The shortest seasons in Cyprus are spring and autumn. During these seasons there are a lot of changes in the temperature and the weather varies. In spring and autumn tourists visit Cyprus to explore the island since the weather is more applicable for this kind of activity. In March, the temperature has an average high of 17°C and in November the temperature is one of 21°C. As for the sea, the water temperature is approximately 17°C during the spring yet the mountains flourish. Even though there are some rainy days, most of the days during both months are sunny, with spring more chilly than autumn. Autumn lasts from October until November and during that period of time the temperatures can be as low as 12°C (54°F) and can reach up to 29°C (84°F). During autumn, the weather changes yearly like for instance during October of 2009 there were vicious thunderstorms and during October of 2007, the weather was very dry.

Angel number 1793 meaning
What Does 1793 Mean?
1793=1+7+9+3=20, 2+0=2
If you see angel number 1793, the message relates to the field of relationships and personality development and says that Actions taken for the purpose of self-improvement can lead to solving your problems on a personal level. There is no need to go to unnecessary trainings and look out over your glasses in search of a potential spouse. Try to actually improve your intellectual level, and you will have a much more real chance of success.
Detailed significance of 1793 single digits
Angel number 1793 represents a vibration spectrum of number 1, number 7, as well as nine (9) and number 3 an
The Seven in the message of the angels means that you have ceased to see the difference between your abilities and your duties. The fact that others do not possess your talents is not a reason for becoming "a servant for everybody" and taking on someone else's work. Consider that it will be almost impossible to get rid of it.
The Nine, appearing in the message you received from above, means that the qualities of this number - goodwill, the ability to understand and forgive - allowed you to safely resolve the situation that seemed hopeless. Angels recommend that you take these properties of your nature as a basis in order to use them under any circumstances.
The Three in the message of the angels is a veiled compliment. You have creatively approached solving a trivial problem, and achieved the desired results. One can but hope that the experience gained will benefit you, and you will continue to treat everyday situations as if your life depended on each of them.
1793 numerology meaning
1 - 3
- - -
7 - 9
The combination of the One and the Seven is a "trademark" of total bad luck. If you meet number 17 too often, then it is time you stopped relying on luck and began acting thoughtfully and purposefully. You will be surprised to realize how simple and effective it is unless you rush or give way to your emotions.
Get ready for a situation in which romance is mixed with life experience in a ratio of 5:1. Probably, you will soon fall in love, and all your logical constructions, all your rules of logic will be powerless against the overwhelming feeling. Do not try to keep the remnants of common sense and do not reproach yourself for doing foolish things. There is no shame in losing your head.
You will have to drink the cup of the bitterest poison: become the object of envy. You managed to do what others did not, and your relationship cracked. If you feel bad because of this, put it down to common luck. People willingly forgive luckiness, but they never forgive superiority.

Bidens have orchid named after them in Singapore
SINGAPORE - US Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill received a customary Singapore honour Friday - an orchid named after them - as they paid an official visit to the tropical city state.
Singapore has long used orchid naming to recognise international leaders, with high-profile political figures including Nelson Mandela and Margaret Thatcher having blossoms at Singapore's National Orchid Garden.
The Bidens were feted at a ceremony at the 63-hectare (155 acre) garden, where a new hybrid orchid, Dendrobium Joe and Jill Biden, was named in their honour.
The vice president signed a symbolic "birth certificate" officially naming the orchid, one of many new varieties constantly being developed in Singapore.
"Mr. Prime Minister, never did I think in my wildest dreams that I would have an orchid named after me and my wife," a smiling Biden told Singapore's Lee Hsien Loong.
"That was beyond any expectations I ever had as a child or an an adult."
VIP orchid-naming first took root in 1957 during British colonial rule when a variety was named after Anne Black, the wife of London's high commissioner to Singapore.
Singapore is a leading exporter of orchids and its national flower is an indigenous violet-hued variety called the Vanda "Miss Joaquim".

Depending on what you are using it for, you should be aware that the id will change, possibly frequently on some devices.

I can't try to replicate what you're doing at the moment, but you might try reading it as bytes into array like this:

What Is a Dripping Pan? + How to Clean It!
If you're a cook who likes a clean stove, grill, and oven, then you'll certainly love dripping pans.
As suggested by the name, a dripping pan is any container that catches the grease drippings of meat and poultry while it cooks.
Read on to find out everything you need to know about dripping pans.
What Is a Dripping Pan?
A dripping can refer to different kinds of pans. The first one is a metal pan that is typically fixed under the burner found in a gas or electric stovetop.
Another type of dripping pan is a large metal pan that you can place underneath a baking sheet when baking something in the oven.
This is the pan that will prevent the food from bubbling over and sticking to the sides and bottom of your oven.
It will also prevent the food from catching fire. Finally, grills also come with dripping pans that can catch grease drippings so that they don't affect your floor or coals.
Broiling pans also have a dripping pan that collects the fat and juices that drip off the meat and poultry.
Let's learn a bit about each type of dripping pan:
Stove Dripping Pan
Each burner on an electric stove has a dripping pan. Typically, your stove will come with attached dripping pans.
However, you need to replace these pans after every 6 months or one year. This is because food tends to burn and stick to these dripping pans, making cleaning difficult.
You can easily find them in most kitchen stores and are fairly affordable. You can also replace them quite easily.
These dripping pans are most commonly available in silver and black hues since these colors are better at hiding grease. You must also wash these dripping pans regularly to prevent food particles from accumulating on them.
Dripping Pans for Ovens
These types of drip pans are used in ovens to prevent food from overflowing onto the walls of your oven. These pans are specifically useful when baking dishes such as casseroles.
This is because they can bubble over and cause a sticky mess that will be difficult to clean up.
Food that you put under the broiler or in a roasting pan will also drip over in your oven if you don't use a dripping pan.
These dripping pans are commonly made of aluminum and are disposable.
You can also place a larger baking sheet under your casserole dish to catch the drips. Shallow and light cookie sheets also act as great dripping pans.
Using a dripping pan helps you decrease your post-cooking cleanup time. You can simply throw away the disposable pan.
Even if your pan is not disposable, you can wash it instead of scrubbing the inside of your oven.
Dripping Pans for Grills
Charcoal and gas grills also feature dripping pans. As mentioned earlier, these pans catch grease drippings that can potentially damage your patio or deck if they fall to the ground.
They are typically used when roasting or grilling food, such as ribs and roast.
These pans are typically larger than the ones available for ovens. They are made of aluminum and are quite easy to adjust inside the grill. You must remove and clean these dripping pans regularly.
This will help prevent any grease buildup. If you need to replace your pan, opt for a metal one instead of plastic. This is because plastic will easily melt if it comes into contact with hot grease.
What Is the Purpose of a Dripping Pan?
Dripping pans have many purposes. The first and most obvious one is to collect the drippings from ducks, ribs, and other fatty foods.
You can also use dripping pans for indirect grilling. Simply put the aluminum pan between the mounds of hot coal under your grate.
Then, fill it with water, herbs, wine, beer, marinades, and other flavorful liquids. Put your roast or ribs on the grill.
The liquids in the dripping pan will evaporate into palatable steam. This hot steam will slow-cook the meat and add mouthwatering flavors to it.
It will also ensure that the meat or poultry remains succulent during prolonged cooking.
You can also add all sorts of veggies, such as onions, potatoes, and celery into the mix as well.
The grease drippings from the poultry or meat will create a delectable mix of flavors that you can use with your food. When using a dripping pan for indirect cooking, just make sure that it doesn't dry out.
This will burn all your precious gravy. Simply add more hot water to the pan so that the liquid is at least an inch or two deep.
This will keep the food succulent as well. Furthermore, make sure to keep checking the pan during the slow-cooking process.
You can also use a dripping pan to collect the flavorful juices and fats from meat and poultry. You can then use these juices to make delicious stocks and sauces.
These pans are also used to prevent oil from coating coals and water during indirect cooking with water pans.
How to Clean a Dripping Pan with Stubborn Grease Buildup
When grease starts to accumulate on the dripping pan, it becomes a fire hazard. This is why you must clean your dripping pans regularly.
Here are the steps that you can follow to clean a dripping pan with stubborn grease buildup:
 1. Let the dripping pan cool completely and then remove it from the grill, stove, or oven.
 2. Submerge the dirty pan in your sink in hot water and let it soak completely for about 10 minutes.
 3. Drain the dirty water from your sink and pour some distilled white vinegar over the pan. This will help get rid of the baked-on food particles and stubborn grease.
 4. Let the pan sit in the vinegar for about 30 minutes.
 5. Sprinkle some baking soda on top of the vinegar.
 6. Let it sit for a minute or two and then use your fingers to rub it into the burnt-on crust.
 7. Allow the baking soda and vinegar blend to sit on the surface of the pans for at least 15 minutes. During this time, the burn residue will start to flake away from your dripping pan.
 8. After the designated time, drain the vinegar and baking soda mixture and use hot water to rinse your pan.
 9. Apply some more baking soda on the surface of the pan and rub it into the remaining stains as thoroughly as possible.
 10. Rinse the pan with hot water once again and use a towel to dry it thoroughly.
When Should You Change Your Dripping Pan?
You must change your dripping pan at least once a year. This is because when a drip pan is dirty with stubborn grease buildup, it becomes a safety hazard.
The biggest risk comes from the toxic fumes that can accumulate on the pan if you don't clean it regularly.
Burned meat juices and fat can be harmful to your health as well.
This is why you must remove your pan from the oven or grill when it's cool enough and clean it thoroughly. You can use hot soapy water to clean the fat drippings.
If the pan is too dirty, then you need to replace it. However, just be careful to find the perfect sized pan for your oven and grill. This is because an ill-fitted pan is also a fire hazard.
Difference between a Dripping Pan and a Water Pan
Many people confuse dripping pans with water pans. Dripping pans are typically placed right under your food to catch any grease or fat run-off.
This prevents the fat from hitting the flames and coals and reduces the risk of flareups.
Meanwhile, water pans sit directly on top of your heat source. Their primary function is to generate moisture and steam to prevent your meat from drying out.
You can also place a dripping pan above your water pan to prevent grease from hitting the water. This will ensure that the water continues to evaporate and keeps the meat succulent.
As mentioned earlier, you can also use a dripping pan for this purpose.
However, a water pan typically contains only water, while a dripping pan can contain a delicious concoction of liquids, which are used to add flavor to the food.
The Bottom Line
A dripping pan is a large pan that is typically made of metal and is used to prevent food drippings from bubbling over.
These pans are usually used to cook messy foods such as meats that have a lot of fat in them. You can also use them when baking dishes that bubble over and create a mess in your oven.
Typically, these pans are a part of electric stoves, gas and electric ovens, and gas grills. However, you can also use disposable dripping pans in your oven and grill.
You can easily find metal and plastic pans that will catch all the food drippings and prevent a mess.

1. The Tail
Bend lobster tail back slightly and twist to remove—it should come apart easily. Starting at open end, using kitchen shears, cut shell down middle of tail's underside, as shown. Open up shell like a book; remove meat in one piece. If there is green pasty stuff (the liver and pancreas, called tomalley), wipe it away with a paper towel and discard. The same goes for any tiny eggs.
Editor's Note: Some Canadians love tomalley! Just remember, Health Canada advises children avoid it and adults to restrict their consumption to no more than the amount found in one lobster.
2. The Claws, Part A
Twist two front legs off body of lobster. If they don't twist off easily, use kitchen shears to snip through any cartilage. Bend small pincer back and forth until it breaks off, as shown. Carefully pull shell away from meat to keep claw intact. If meat breaks apart, use bamboo skewer to pull meat out of pincer.
3. The Claws, Part B
Using lobster shell cracker, break into large claw shell at base, as shown. Using fingers or skewer, pull out claw meat. If needed, use kitchen shears to cut into shell further, opening it like a book and lifting out meat. Make sure all hard cartilage has detached from claw meat before setting aside. Don't forget the knuckle! Break this leg section into pieces and push out meat with skewer.
4. Reserve Shells
Now you have the secret ingredient to the most amazing soups, stocks and flavoured butters: lobster shells. If you can't use them right away, toss them in a freezer-safe bag or container and store them in the freezer.
Editor's Note: The skinny leg pieces have very small bits of meat you can extract with a skewer, or many cooks leave them intact to help flavour the next recipe.
Here's how to make Lobster Butter.
From lobster rolls to risottos to decadent eggs Benedict, there's no end to enjoying succulent Canadian lobster meat. Try it in this seafaring chef's signature dish: Oleg's Seafood Chowder.

How to Remove a Moen Dialcet
Cameron Easey
A Moen dialcet or cartridge is used with a single handle faucet that you turn to provide a mixture of hot and cold water when taking a shower. When only the hot and cold water is working, the dialcet or cartridge may need to be examined. This can be done by first removing the dialcet or cartridge from the faucet that is installed in the shower.
A dialcet is a single handle shower faucet cartridge.
 1. Turn off the shut-off valves for the shower. If the shower does not have shut-off valves you will need to turn off the main water supply valve for your house. Turn the shut-off valve counterclockwise or to the left to shut off the valve.
 2. Find and remove the screw that is used to secure the handle to the faucet with the screwdriver. Pull out the retainer clip that is located behind the handle with the pliers.
 3. Remove the cartridge that is inserted in the valve body with the pliers. Grab onto the cartridge with the pliers and then pull it out.
 4. Shake the cartridge up and down. It should sound like a ball being shaken in a paint can. If there is no sound, the cartridge will need to be cleaned.
 5. Reinstall the dialcet once it has been cleaned or replace it with a new one.

From Ohio History Central
Mineral specimens are not so nearly widespread in Ohio as are fossil specimens, but many areas of the state produce interesting minerals. Many of the best specimens of mineral crystals from Ohio have come from limestone and dolomite quarries in northwestern Ohio. Unfortunately for the collector, most of these quarries are now closed to collectors because of safety and legal considerations. Always OBTAIN PERMISSION before collecting on private property. The book, Minerals of Ohio, available from the Division of Geological Survey of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, is an excellent guide to identification, occurrence, and collecting information on minerals in Ohio.

text: We analyze the mechanism of condensation of orientational moduli [as introduced in Phys. Rev. D 87, 025025 (2013)] on multi-Skyrmionic configurations of the four-dimensional Skyrme model. The present analysis reveals interesting novel features. First of all, the orientational moduli tend to decrease the repulsive interactions between Skyrmions, the effect decreasing with the increase of the baryon number. Moreover, in the case of a single Skyrmion, the appearance of moduli is energetically favorable if finite-volume effects are present. Otherwise, in the usual flat topologically trivial case, it is not. In the low-energy theory these solutions can be interpreted as Skyrmions with additional isospin degrees of freedom.

Definition of bodkin in English:
- Thus the body of the witch might be subjected to penetration by bodkins or needles as the insensible spot was sought.
- Isaac Newton risked his vision by poking a bodkin beneath his eyeball to understand how we see.
- There is a nail knot/tying tool, clipper/nipper, a bodkin - which as we all know is a needle.
The origin is perhaps Celtic linked with Irish bod, Welsh bidog, and Scottish Gaelic biodag 'dagger'. This was the first sense recorded in English and is used by Shakespeare in Hamlet: 'When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin'. Another early use was for a sharp instrument for piercing cloth; now, in needlework, a bodkin is, on the contrary, blunt with a large eye for threading tape and other thick threads through material.

This study seeks to better understand the factors contributing to the adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) as on-demand sourcing option. Grounded in transaction cost theory (TCT), we developed a research model for assessing SaaS-sourcing at the application level. Four hypotheses with three TCTbased constructs (application specificity, environmental uncertainty, and usage frequency) and one contingency factor (firm size) affecting the adoption of SaaS-based sourcing were formulated. Survey data of 154 firms in Europe with 284 response items across different industries were collected to test the theoretical model. PLS-based structural equation modeling demonstrated that uncertainty emerges as the strongest factor for SaaS-adoption, while application specificity also contributes significantly. Differentiating between small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprises, uncertainty represents the strongest driver for SaaS-adoption in SMBs, whereas application specificity is more important in enterprises. Finally, firm size is significantly and negatively associated with SaaS-based sourcing within, but not across the subgroups of SMBs and enterprises.

Why does a whip make a cracking sound when someone whips it? --- Thomas, Englishtown, N.J.
Marshall Brain Answers:
That cracking sound you are hearing is a sonic boom. The tip of a long whip goes supersonic and makes the sound. The following video demonstrates how to make a whip and crack it:
Here is the tip in slow motion:
This article puts a finer point on it:
"A whip is specially crafted to accelerate a loop in its body to high speeds. The tapering of a whip makes a loop traveling along it speed up by a factor of ten. The lightweight free end allows an extra factor of two to three in speed. For realistic whips, the tip can reach speeds more than 30 times the initial speed," he said.

Abandoned lighthouse on Great Isaac Cay
Great Isaac Cay is a small Bahamian island located about 20 miles NNE of the Bimini Islands. It is accessible only by boat. And it is so small that it's not visible on google map or google earth. The most prominent feature of the island is its lighthouse, which was erected in 1859.
In the late 19th century local lore tells of a ship wreck on the island with one survivor, an infant. The child's distraught mother, known as the Grey Lady, is said to haunt the island to this very day, wailing in sorrow during the full moon.
On August 4, 1969, the station was discovered to have been abandoned by its two keepers, who were never found. The keepers' house, cistern, and assorted buildings are crumbling into ruins. The Lighthouse looks abandoned but is actually still in use, fully automated.
It is also claimed to be haunted!


v3.1.0 - Show latest stable - 0 notes - Class: ActionController::RecordIdentifier
record_key_for_dom_id(record) protected
Returns a string representation of the key attribute(s) that is suitable for use in an HTML DOM id. This can be overwritten to customize the default generated string representation if desired. If you need to read back a key from a dom_id in order to query for the underlying database record, you should write a helper like 'person_record_from_dom_id' that will extract the key either based on the default implementation (which just joins all key attributes with '-') or on your own overwritten version of the method. By default, this implementation passes the key string through a method that replaces all characters that are invalid inside DOM ids, with valid ones. You need to make sure yourself that your dom ids are valid, in case you overwrite this method.

The persistence phenomenon is studied in a financial context by using a novel mapping of the time evolution of the values of shares in a portfolio onto Ising spins. The method is applied to historical data from the London Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 index (FTSE 100) over an arbitrarily chosen period. By following the time dependence of the spins, we find evidence for a power law decay of the proportion of shares that remain either above or below their 'starting' values. As a result, we estimate a persistence exponent for the underlying financial market to be. Preliminary results from computer simulations on persistence in the economic dynamics of a toy model appear to reproduce the behaviour observed in real markets.

How to run npm Behind A Proxy Server - a step-by-step guide
You might need to modify npm install commands that access remote repositories (npmjs, for example) for installing Node JS modules; if your internet access is through a proxy server.
Proxy servers are common in college and business type environments.
You can locate your proxy settings from your browser's settings panel.
Using Proxy with NPM
Once you have obtained the proxy settings (server URL, port, username and password); you need to configure your npm configurations as follows.
$ npm config set proxy http://:@:
$ npm config set https-proxy http://:@:
You would have to replace , , , with the values specific to your proxy server credentials.
These fields are optional. For instance, your proxy server might not even require and , or that it might be running on port 80 (in which case is not required).
Once you have set these, your npm install, npm i -g etc. would work properly.
When Not to Use
You should not have to use npm commands with proxy settings, if either of the following happens:
 - Your system administrator or corporate policy does not allow you to access remote npm repositories from NPM-JS, for instance.
 - The remote repository of Node modules in question is not in your machine, but it's within the internal network.
Unset Proxy Settings
Use this blog post to unset your proxy settings. You can also manually remove the lines specifying your proxy settings from your.npmrc file.
You may use the following resources for further reading on this:-
I used this type of my proxy, but the connection failed to establish. What's the problem?

Setting a server role in Salt (comparing Puppet and Salt)
By Spencer Christensen
December 23, 2013
There are many ways to solve a given problem, and this is no truer than with configuration management. Salt (_URL_) is a fairly new tool in the configuration management arena joining the ranks of Puppet, Chef, and others. It has quickly gained and continues to grow in popularity, boasting its scalable architecture and speed. And so with multiple tools and multiple ways to use each tool, it can get a little tricky to know how best to solve your problem.
Recently I've been working with a client to convert their configuration management from Puppet to Salt. This involved reviewing their Puppet configs and designs and more-or-less mapping them to the equivalent for Salt. Most features do convert pretty easily. However, we did run into something that didn't at first/assigning a role to a server.
We wanted to preserve the "feeling" of the configs where possible. In Puppet they had developed and used a convention for using some custom variables in their configs to assign an "environment" and a "role" for each server. These variables were assigned in the node and role manifests. But in Salt we struggled to find a similar way to do that, but here is what we learned.
In Puppet, once a server's "role" and "environment" variables were set, then they could be used in other manifest files to select the proper source for a given config file like so:
 file {
 source =>
 ensure => present,
 owner => "root",
 group => "root",
 mode => "644"
Puppet will search the list of source files in order and use the first one that exists. For example, if $hostname = 'myniftyhostname' and $system_environment = 'qa' and $system_role = 'sessiondb', then it will use rsyslog.conf.myniftyhostname if it exists on the Puppet master, or if not then use rsyslog.conf.qa-sessiondb if it exists, or if not then rsyslog.conf.sessiondb if it exists, or if not then rsyslog.conf.qa if it exists, or if not then rsyslog.conf.
In Salt, environment is built into the top.sls file, where you match your servers to their respective state file(s), and can be used within state files as {{ env }}. Salt also allows for multiple sources for a managed file to be listed in order and it will use the first one that exists in the same way as Puppet. We were nearly there; however, setting the server role variable was not as straight forward in Salt.
We first looked at using Jinja variables (which is the default templating system for Salt), but soon found that setting a Jinja variable in one state file does not carry over to another state file. Jinja variables remain only in the scope of the file they were created in, at least in Salt.
The next thing we looked at was using Pillar, which is a way to set custom variables from the Salt master to given hosts (or minions). Pillar uses a structure very similar to Salt's top.sls structurematching a host with its state files. But since the hostnames for this client vary considerably and don't lend themselves to pattern matching easily, this would be cumbersome to manage both the state top.sls file and the Pillar top.sls file and keep them in sync. It would require basically duplicating the list of hosts in two files, which could get out of sync over time.
We asked the salt community on _TAG_ on Freenode.net how they might solve this problem, and the recommended answer was to set a custom grain. Grains are a set of properties for a given host, collected from the host itselfsuch as, hostname, cpu architecture, cpu model, kernel version, total ram, etc. There are multiple ways to set custom grains, but after some digging we found how to set them from within a state file. This meant that we could do something like this in a "role" state file:
# sessiondb role
# {{ salt['grains.setval']('server_role','sessiondb') }}
 - common
 - postgres
And then within the common/init.sls and postgres/init.sls state files we could use that server_role custom grain in selecting the right source file, like this:
 - source:
 - salt://rsyslog/files/rsyslog.conf.{{ grains['host'] }}
 - salt://rsyslog/files/rsyslog.conf.{{ env }}-{{ grains['server_role'] }}
 - salt://rsyslog/files/rsyslog.conf.{{ grains['server_role'] }}
 - salt://rsyslog/files/rsyslog.conf
 - mode: 644
 - user: root
 - group: root
This got us to our desired config structure. But like I said earlier, there are probably many ways to handle this type of problem. This may not even be the best way to handle server roles and environments in Salt, if we were more willing to change the "feeling" of the configs. But given the requirements and feedback form our client, this worked fine.

Is it possible to prevent mouseDown effect when widget already displaying selected effect
Is it possible to prevent the display of a "mouseDown" effect when the widget is already displayed with the "selected" effect?
Reproducible Steps:
 1. User clicks on a button, button displays "mouseDown" effect.
 2. User releases the mouse and the button displays with a "Selected" effect.
 3. User clicks on the selected button.
When the user clicks on an already selected button, I don't want to see the mouseDown effect; I want to continue to see the selected effect.
Is there a way to prevent the mouseDown effect from being displayed when the selected effect is already being displayed?
Hi _USER_
Do you mind elaborating a bit more on which Style Properties you have defined in your Selected style vs. your MouseDown style?
As you've noticed in RP 10, the Style Effects will blend together in the prototype. However, if you do not want the blending to occur, you can simply define the specific style properties on the Selected style, and those properties will override the properties on the MouseDown style.
For example, let's say you have a button with the following styles:
 - Base Style: white background / black font color
 - MouseDown Style: blue font color
 - Selected Style: grey fill color
Let's say when the button is in a selected state and the user mouses down on the button, you do not want to show the MouseDown blue font color.
In order to achieve this, you can simply define the font color that you want to display in that scenario in the Selected style (e.g. black font color). Once a font color is defined within the Selected style, it will no longer be overridden when the user mouses down on the button in the prototype.
The same would apply for other style properties you have defined in your style effects.
Hope this helps!
Hi Frankie
I've attached my file. There is definitely something weird going on as I don't even see the colour for the mouseDown event any more.
When the widget is created from dragging a "Primary Button" onto the canvas, everything works as you described above. However, if you modify the shape of the button, the mouseEvent does not occur as expected.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi _USER_,
Thank you for sharing your file. I was able to reproduce this issue on my end as well. This appears to be a bug with rendering style effects in the prototype for custom shape widgets. I've filed this to have our team investigate further. Thank you for letting us know!

Ever Wondered Why Dogs Run Behind Moving Vehicles?
Lately, most malayalis have taken a stand for or against street dogs. Most of us who hate them are just scared of them. Its true that when they run behind vehicles there is a possibility of accidents. But efficient drivers can manage without having one. But have you ever wondered why dogs run behind moving vehicles?
You must have seen dogs guarding poor people who are sleeping on the streets. They are their ultimate companion and really loyal to them. If you are a dog lover you will know why dogs actually bark. It is a way they show that the person is not invited in their territory. Or to find out if the person is trustworthy.
Some reasons why a dog runs behind moving vehicles are this, the dog may either be feeling hungry or just bored! When a dog finds a vehicle that has urine of any other dog, which does not belong to its territory, it can infuriate this dog further, as it'll tend to not accept any other dog from the other territory. Dogs usually get excited very fast and are curious in nature. Since moving vehicles perk up these instincts, their urge to chase those vehicles increases suddenly, and they end up running behind these vehicles. It is believed that although some dogs do it due to their share of bad experience with a driver, there are a few out there who are just very excited all the time and do it simply to kill time!
Loneliness is another reason for a dogs anxiety issues. They are very social animals and deserved to be loved. Howling is one way a dog's generally expresses its loneliness. Apart from this, the other reason to bark is just an attempt to get human attention! Sound Sensitivity Dogs have extra-sensitive hearing and smelling capability. They can hear the sound that a general human cannot hear. So, if they find any sound or any smell, which is unlikely, they would react to it by barking. For Protection Since dogs are protective by nature, it is protective about its own territory. The dog barks to let others know that something is approaching; and by barking, it makes the predator aware of its presence.


What does "PUK" mean on your SIM card when you lock your phone?
With mobile phones, PUK stands for "personal unlocking key." This code is used to open a SIM card that has been locked after using the wrong personal identification number (PIN) a certain number of times.
Most SIM cards allow only up to three tries before being locked. A locked SIM card then requires a PUK. This usually comes with the SIM card, or the mobile carrier can be contacted to inquire how to procure this code. If the wrong PUK is entered a set number of times, the SIM card is then permanently locked. This can happen if a person continues to enter the PIN when the SIM card is already asking for the PUK.

Voice Technology Effective in Monitoring Diabetes Safety Events
A new study funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) found that providing interactive voice recognition follow-up calls to diabetes patients is effective in identifying safety triggers. "Safety Events during an Automated Telephone Self-Management Support Intervention" appeared in the May issue of the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology. The "safety triggers" the study examined were problems such as extremely high or low blood sugar, not having medications or supplies, or experiencing significant side effects. Using an automated voice system, patients with type II diabetes received self-management support through interactive messaging. The automated system was effective in identifying safety triggers and the majority of eligible participants received at least one phone call. The results indicate that interactive health information technology can support self-management tasks for diabetes, but more research is needed to understand program design elements to address safety concerns.

Background: Reduction mammaplasty is a frequently performed plastic surgical procedure, yet preoperative assessment usually excludes an estimated resection weight. In this retrospective study, a formula was derived using regression analysis of routinely measured preoperative anthropomorphic measurements and intraoperative resection weights.
Methods: Data were collected from 214 consecutive breast reduction patients operated on at a tertiary referral center between January of 1993 and January of 2006. The operations were performed by 15 plastic surgeons using a variety of reduction pattern techniques. Four variables were recorded for each patient: notch to nipple distance, nipple to inframammary crease distance, body mass index, and age. Regression analysis was performed on the data to establish which preoperative measurements correlated most accurately with the resection weight.
Results: The following formula was established relating nipple to inframammary crease distance and notch to nipple distance measurement to the weight removed: Breast weight = (35.4 × notch to nipple distance + 60.66 × nipple to inframammary crease distance) – 1239.64.
Conclusion: Use of this formula aids the surgeon with patient counseling, insurance company quotes, and intraoperatively in patients with asymmetry or those undergoing reconstruction, as a guide to resection weights.

Primal Earth is a chunk of pure earthly essence. It is used in a wide range of high-end recipes.
-Transmute: Primal Fire to Earth
-Transmute: Primal Life to Earth
Primal Earth is primarily made by converting 10 Motes of Earth to one Primal Earth. Motes of Earth can typically be found by Miners, from Fel Iron, Adamantite, and Khorium veins. They can also be recovered from various Earth elementals in Outland (Enraged Crushers in Nagrand, Enraged Earth Spirits in Shadowmoon Valley, etc.).
Primal Earth can be created through Alchemy with the Transmute: Primal Fire to Earth and Transmute: Primal Life to Earth recipes.
Primal Earth is one of the cheapest primals due to its relative abundance and the fact that (unlike Shadow, Mana, Fire, Life, and Water) it is not used in any of the Tailoring cloths.
Primal Earth as an ingredientEdit
Primal Earth is used in the following recipes:

Why Did Jesus Say He Came to Bring a Sword?
by Greg Boyd, originally posted at his website ReKnew.
Some, both modern scholars along with church leaders since the fourth century, have used this passage as evidence to argue that Jesus is not altogether non-violent.
When we place Matthew 10:34 in its broader context, it becomes clear that Jesus' teaching not only does not condone violence on the part of his disciples, it actually rules out all violence. As Jesus is preparing his disciples to proclaim the Good News of the arrival of the kingdom of God throughout the region, he warns them that he is sending them out "like sheep among wolves" (Mt 10:16, cf. vv. 5-15).

Ceph Grunt Commander units are a variations of Ceph Grunts that appear in Crysis 2.
Ceph Combat Command Units are very similar to the Stalker Commanders. Both have dark, red-colored flesh resembling jelly underneath their armored exoskeletons. The Grunt and Stalker Commanders also have red-colored shields that activate when the player's presence is discovered. Upon death, Ceph Grunt Commanders will drop 300 Nano Catalyst. They also have slightly different helmets, displaying their eyes more as slits rather than a standard grunts more circular eyes.
The main differences between Grunt and Stalker Commanders are that they command different units and wield different weapons. The Grunt Commanders are in control of a squad of Grunts and have a pulse rifle attached to their arm, as opposed to the blade of the Stalker Commanders. Once a battle starts, the Grunt Commander will activate its shield, which emits a red glow. Once enough damage is dealt to the Grunt Commander, its shield will dissipate and the Grunt Commander becomes as vulnerable as the Grunts that serve underneath them.

A color ramp uses color to display its numeric value. You configure a color scale that consists of at least two arbitrary markers, each with a numeric value and a corresponding display color. As the input value changes, the color displayed changes to the color that corresponds to that value. Color ramps are useful for visually indicating data ranges, such as a warning range for when a gauge reaches dangerous values. For example, you can use a color ramp to set the color scale for intensity graphs and charts.
Complete the following steps to add and configure a color ramp.
- Right-click a dial, knob, or gauge and select Visible Items»Ramp from the shortcut menu to add a color ramp.
- Right-click the color ramp or a marker and select Marker Spacing»Arbitrary from the shortcut menu to switch the color ramp to arbitrary marker spacing.
- To change the value of an arbitrary marker on a color ramp, use the Operating tool to drag the marker to the value you want or use the Labeling tool to highlight the text of the marker and enter a new value. When you drag a marker, the cursor changes to to indicate the tool is over a marker.
- To add a new marker to the color ramp, right-click the position on the color ramp where you want to add a new marker and select Add Marker from the shortcut menu. LabVIEW adds a new marker to that location. You also can press the key while you drag an existing marker to the location where you want to add a marker.
(Mac OS X) Press the key. (Linux) Press the key.
- Use the Operating or Positioning tools to right-click the marker next to the color ramp and select Marker Color from the shortcut menu to change the color associated with a marker.
- Select the color you want from the color picker that appears.
- Resize the color ramp by moving the Positioning tool over one of the handles that appear on the midpoints of the color ramp. Drag the handle to the width you want.
||Note Meters have a visible color ramp by default.

Situations that make us try to restart the Apple Watch :
- Hang the apple due to wrong operation during software update
- A lot of lag after a long time of use
- Do not install new software from iPhone
When you have the above situations, try restarting the Apple Watch in the following 2 ways:
Method 1: Turn off restart ( Restart Apple Watch )
- Press and hold down the Side button until the start screen appears again
- Slide the Power Off bar (Power Off) to turn off Apple Watch
- After Apple Watch has turned off, press and hold the button next to the hip again until the apple logo appears. Apple Watch will be restarted after these operations
- Note: This process cannot be performed if the Apple Watch is being placed on the charging dock.
Method 2: Forced start ( Force restart Apple Watch )
Apple recommends that users only apply this method as a last resort when Apple Watch hangs an apple or doesn't have any feedback. Do the following:
- Press and hold silent while two Digital Crown buttons and Side button at least 10 seconds.
- After seeing Apple Watch appear apple logo, release both buttons at the same time. Apple Watch will restart.
- Note: Do not conduct Force restart if Apple Watch is in the process of updating the software.
Do not hang / lag while copying photos and music from iPhone to Apple Watch:
- Split the number of pictures that you want to copy into Apple Watch, do not copy too much then Apple Watch will easily hang.
- Copy specific music playlist one by one.
- When suspended, stop the copying process and restart Apple Watch as instructed above.
In order not to hang apples during the software update process, you should note the following:
- The Apple Watch battery is over 50% and it is being placed on the charging dock with the charger (Be careful not to touch it to drop it from the charging dock, the Apple Watch will easily hang or restart, very time consuming).
- iPhone needs to be near Apple Watch during the download and installation process (You pay attention while charging don't hold the iPhone around and lose connection with Apple Watch, this is very easy to cause installation error later).
Basically, the Apple Watch works very stable and rarely hangs / lag / slow. However, when you do, you should try to restart each step as before applying other measures.

I have a point shapefile with thousand of points. It has an ID code field that supposed to be unique. Every now and then the data entry clerk wrongly type the id creating duplicates.Right now I'm manually scrolling the field to find the duplicate.Is there a sane way to do this using the Search Query Builder? Thanks for any help.
share|improve this question
If you need to enforce uniqueness I would recommend using a database e.g. Postgres/PostGIS, Spatailite – Nathan W Jun 20 '12 at 10:26

If the IDs are consecutive, I would add a new temporary column with unique values like _USER_.shp suggested and then use the query builder to search for ID!= uniqueID.
That would return the duplicates directly. After fixing the original IDs, remove the extra column or repeat the whole process as needed — it is not clear what kind of pattern your IDs must match. If they just need to be unique, note the last value first and you can then edit the bad IDs in one iteration, just bumping the number as you go.
share|improve this answer
Use Group Stats plugin and set the ID as a field classification. You can see how many times each value has been entered in 'count' column.

A quick (although inelegant) way to do this is to go into Layer properties, select Style - Categorized using the column that you're interested in. Apply this, then right click on the layer in the layers window and check the Show Feature Count checkbox. Then expand the layer in the layers window and you can immediately see how many times each value has been entered.
share|improve this answer
Also you can use the split by attribute and end up with a seperate table for each value.
I like Rayo's suggestion though. except statist doesn't quite work like I thought it did.
It does give a count of unique values but doesn't help with what those values are.
Another software might add a count field and allow you to export it to csv or other spreadsheet format.
My suggestion for the split layer by attribute is in the vector management tools
management too
split your data on any 1 field an dyou will have your counts.
way more inelegant than ship.ship's solution

Your Answer


00:00 in the caption file aligns with the first frame of your sequence, no matter what time code the sequence starts at, I.e. the caption file time codes are not linked to the sequence time codes. See this diagram for a visual explanation.
 If your FCP sequence starts at 00:59:50:00 and the first caption is supposed to appear at 01:00:01:00, the first caption time in MacCaption should be 00:00:11:00, because the caption appears 11:00 seconds after the first frame of the sequence. If you incorrectly set the caption time code at 01:00:01:00 in MacCaption, the first caption will not appear until 01:59:51:00!
 The easiest way to work around this issue is to make sure your proxy/reference movie (for time stamping) includes the whole sequence from the very first frame (including any leaders which are on the timeline), and that the Movie Time in MacCaption/CaptionMaker is set to start at 00:00:00:00. This will ensure that everything syncs up both in MacCaption and in FCP.
 Another way to work with this in MacCaption is to have your Movie Time start at the FCP sequence start time (e.g. 01:00:00:00), and also have the captions match up with this movie time (e.g. first dialog in movie is at 01:00:01:00, and the first caption is at 01:00:01:00). In this case, when you export the QuickTime CC track, you MUST enable the checkbox called "Use Movie Time to position captions at 00:00:00:00". That checkbox should always be checked if the captions are timed relative to the movie's time code track instead of relative to 00:00:00:00.
 Note that the FCP generated leader options in the Edit to Tape/Print to Video dialog (such as FCP's bars & tone, countdown, etc.) DO NOT count towards the sequence time code. The caption track will start when the actual sequence starts to play. However, any bars/leaders/etc. which are in the sequence DO count towards the sequence time code.
 One more note about FCP: If the caption file is shorter in duration than the sequence, FCP will start to loop the captions from the beginning when it reaches the end of the caption file. This sometimes shows up as the first captions from the start of the movie start playing during the ending credits or during the tail after the movie. If you did not caption anything during the credits, the last caption in your project ends before the FCP sequence does, so the captions start to loop. The solution is simple: The caption file must be longer (or at least just as long) as the FCP sequence. You can fix this by putting a blank caption at the end of your project, and make sure that blank caption's time is at or after the end of the FCP sequence.
 - My first caption was cut off or appears late.
 Pop-on captions need a few seconds to pre-load the data before the caption actually appears. If you have a caption that starts very close to the start of the program or a cut point, the data for that caption might get cut off and the caption won't appear. See the "lowest limit" feature in the manual for more information. The workaround is to either set the lowest limit, or make the first caption in paint-on mode (which requires far less time to pre-load a caption).
 - Transcription issues: How to do it, speech recognition options, etc.
 There is no special trick to transcription. It is by far the most time-consuming aspect of the closed captioning/subtitling process. But, there are methods that ensure that you are transcribing in the most efficient way possible. Below are a few methods to transcribe a video.
 Use a Video File
 If you are not already doing so, make sure that you are using a video file, and not videotape, as your video source. Trying to transcribe from a tape can wear out your tape deck, and you'll spend too much time starting and stopping the tape.
 USB Foot Pedal
 A very popular tool for transcribing is a USB Foot Pedal. The VPedal is a tool that allows you to control QuickTime, Windows Media Video, and a number of other types of digital media. You can start, stop, rewind, and fast-forward your digital video with your foot, while typing directly into your word processor. What makes the foot pedal method so efficient is that you never have to take your hands off the keyboard. Eventually, you're able to get into a rhythm with your hands and foot so that you are constantly typing.
 Speech Recognition Software
 Speech Recognition Software has advanced greatly in the past few years, and has become a reliable transcription tool. The transcription method using speech-recognition employs "shadow speaking", whereby the user repeats what he or she hears in the video into a microphone. Before you use any type of speech-recognition software, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking or MacSpeech, you'll need to train with the software. This usually consists of reading stories provided by the software. After you've read a story, the software analyzes your voice and compares it to the text in the story. You'll also need to practice the technique of shadow speaking, which isn't difficult but takes time to get good at.
 At this time, there is no technology that can reliably take a video or audio file and automatically transcribe all of the text without human intervention. Speaker-independent speech recognition systems typically achieve around 60-70% accuracy, whereas 90-95% accuracy is the minimum for closed captioning.
 Transcription Service
 Often, it is more cost-effective to simply pay a service to transcribe your material. Transcription is faster and much less expensive than farming out the whole captioning process, so you can still save time and money by doing the captioning steps in-house. There are many online services that allow you to upload an.mp3 and they will provide you with a text transcription within a day. Ideally, you should be able to find a local individual whom you can trust for quick and accurate transcription.
 - How do I monitor my HD captions?
 See this white paper about the different options for monitoring HD closed captions. Basically, you can't monitor HD captions via HDMI or component outputs. The only baseband HD video that carries closed captions is HD-SDI. Also, most devices (except for the Matrox MXO2 and AJA FS-1) do not preserve the captions when down-converting HD to SD. You need an HD-SDI device that can decode HD (CEA-708) captions. Not all monitoring devices follow the complete CEA-708 spec, so the captions may not always appear exactly as intended.
 - How do I down-convert HD video with captions to SD without losing the captions?
 Only a few hardware devices (such as the Matrox MXO2 and the AJA FS-1) can preserve the closed captioning when down/up-converting a video. For other devices, you must use a separate workflow or separate output step to create the SD video with closed captions. For example, if you have a HD sequence in FCP, you can render this into a SD sequence and then use the SD captioning workflow. Or, you can print to SD tape (taking advantage of hardware down-convert), then capture SD back in and caption it using the SD workflow.
 See the AJA / Blackmagic / Matrox workflow pages for more info.
 - My Sony HD deck won't record HD video with closed captions.
 By default, most Sony HD decks are factory set to not record VANC Line 9 where the HD closed captions are stored. You must go into the deck setup or maintenance menu and look for the "VANC Packet RX" setting. This should be set to: VANC Line 9, DID 61, SDID 01. The exact menu depends on your deck. See this page for some of the settings we know, or please contact Sony for more information.
 XDCAM EX (solid state) and HDV decks do not support closed captioning.
 - My.CAP file is not working.
 Several different kinds of files have the same extension of.CAP. If the file isn't working then you are probably trying to import or export the wrong type. If you drag & drop the file into the text area, the software will automatically determine the right file type to import.
 If you need to export a.cap but you don't know what kind, try to determine if the file is supposed to be a CaptionMaker project file (.cap), Cheetah caption file (.cap), or NCI caption file (.cap). There are some other rare.cap formats as well.
 CaptionMaker.cap files are opened/saved in CaptionMaker using the File > Open and Save commands, whereas the other types are imported/exported using the File > Import and Export commands.
 MacCaption cannot open CaptionMaker.cap project files, but it can open the other types of.cap files. To move projects between the two platforms, we recommend using the Ultech.ult import/export for caption files, or the DVDSP.stl import/export for subtitle files. So if you have a CaptionMaker.cap file, open it in CaptionMaker (you can use your MacCaption dongle to run CaptionMaker and vice versa), and then export the captions as a Ultech.ult file to import into MacCaption


Science Can Now Make Human Blood from Skin
By: Amanda Chang - Nov 8, 2010
References: montrealgazette
Time consuming and mis-matchy blood transfusions may be a thing of the past as scientists at McMaster University have discovered how to make human blood from skin. That's right folks, the potential to personally make your own blood from the very skin on your bones is just around the corner.
The procedure to make human blood from skin involves taking a tiny extract of skin, extract fibroblasts, then add proteins of DNA within a petri dish to complete the process. Researchers predict this lab-grown blood could be ready for testing within a span of two years.

text: Abstract : Diabetic macular edema (DME) is characterized by hard exudates. In this article, we propose a novel statistical atlas based method for segmentation of such exudates. Any test fundus image is first warped on the atlas co-ordinate and then a distance map is obtained with the mean atlas image. This leaves behind the candidate lesions. Post-processing schemes are introduced for final segmentation of the exudate. Experiments with the publicly available HEI-MED data-set shows good performance of the method. A lesion localization fraction of 82.5% at 35% of non-lesion localization fraction on the FROC curve is obtained. The method is also compared to few most recent reference methods.
