Arachidic acid (IUPAC
name Eicosanoic acid
is a saturated fatty acid found in peanut oil with the molecular formula CH3
Its name derives from the Latin arachis - peanut. It can be formed by the hydrogenation of arachidonic acid.
It is practically insoluble in water, and stable under normal conditions. It is a surfactant.
Reduction of arachidic acid yields arachidyl alcohol.


Connecting Node-RED to Azure IoT Central
2019年1月22日 に投稿済み
Principal PM Manager, Azure IoT
Today I want to show how simple it is to connect a temperature/humidity sensor to Azure IoT Central using a Raspberry Pi and Node-RED.
As many of you know, Raspberry Pi is a small, single-board computer. Its low cost, low power nature makes it a natural fit for IoT projects. Node-RED is a flow-based, drag and drop programming tool designed for IoT. It enables the creation of robust automation flows in a web browser, simplifying IoT project development.
For my example, I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and a simple DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor, but it should work with other models of the Pi. If you have a different kind of sensor, you should be able to adapt the guide below to use it, provided you can connect Node-RED to your sensor.
Configuring Azure IoT Central
 1. Create an app.
 2. Create a new device template.
 - Temp (temp)
 - Humidity (humidity)
 3. Create a real device and get the DPS connection information.
 4. Use dps-keygen to provision the device and get a device connection string.
 - Identify the three parts of the resulting connection string and save them for later.
Connecting the DHT22 sensor
Before we can get data from our DHT22 sensor, we need to connect it to the pi. The DHT22 typically has three pins broken out, but some of them have four. If you have one with four, check the datasheet to confirm which pins are voltage (may be shown as +, VCC or VDD), data (or signal), and ground.
With the pi powered off, use jumper wires to connect your DHT22 as shown below:
Use jumper wires to connect your DHT22
NOTE: The power jumper (red) should go to 3.3V, data jumper (yellow) should go to GPIO4 and the ground jumper (black) should go to ground. Some boards are different, so double-check your connections!
Installing required software
I started by installing Raspbian Lite using the guide. Then, I installed Node-RED. At this point you should be able to open a browser and visit to see the Node-RED interface. Next, install the Azure IoT Hub nodes for Node-RED. The easiest way to do this is from the Node-RED interface, using the Manage Palette command.
Install the DHT22 nodes. Unfortunately, since this node has some lower-level hardware requirements, it can't be installed through the Manage Palette command. Please follow the instructions using the link above.
Configuring the flow
Now that you have Node-RED up and running on your pi, you're ready to create your flow. By default, Node-RED should already have a flow called "Flow 1," but if you can easily create a new one by selecting the (+) icon above the canvas.
Starting the flow with the inject node
The first node we will add to this flow is an input node. For this example, we will use the inject node which simply injects an arbitrary JSON document into the flow. From the input section in the palette, drag the node from the palette on the left onto the canvas. Then, double select it to open the configuration window. Set the node properties as shown below:
Starting the flow with the inject node
This node will simply inject a JSON object where the payload is set to a timestamp. We don't really care about that value. This is just a simple way to kick off the flow.
Getting data from the DHT22
In the Node-RED palette, find the rpi dht22 node and drag it onto the canvas. Double click on it to open the configuration window, and set the node properties as shown below:
The rpi dht22 node configuration window
Connect the inject node to the rpi dht22 node by dragging the little handle from one to the other.
Reformatting the message
The JSON message produced by the DHT22 node isn't formatted correctly for sending to Azure IoT, so we need to fix that. We will use the change node to do this, so drag it out from the palette onto the canvas and connect it to the DHT22 node. Double click on it to open the configuration window and set the node properties as shown below:
How to edit the change node
For the functional part of this node, we will use JSONata, which is a query and transformation language for JSON documents. After selecting the JSONata type in the to selector, select the […] button to open the editor and enter the following:
Expression editor
Here we are extracting the temperature and humidity values from the input JSON message and putting them inside the data element in the resulting JSON message. We're also adding the device ID and shared access key which you got from the Device Connection String earlier.
Sending the data to Azure IoT Central
Now that we've got the JSON message ready, find the Azure IoT Hub node in the palette and drag it onto the canvas. Again, double click on it to open the configuration window and set the properties as shown here:
Azure IoT Hub node
Confirming your message and debugging
The final node we will add to our flow is a debug node, which simply outputs the message it is given to the debug panel in Node-RED. Connect it to the end of the flow (after Azure IoT Hub) and set the name to "Hub Response."
If you're interested in seeing the JSON message at any point in the flow, you can add more debug nodes anywhere you want. You can enable or disable the output of a debug node by selecting the little box on the right side of the node.
The flow
Here is what your flow should look like. I've added a couple of extra debug nodes while developing this flow, but you can see that only the Hub Response node is enabled.
The flow
Before you can run the flow, you need to deploy it from the workspace. To do this select the red Deploy button at the top right of the Node-RED screen. Then, simply select the little box on the left of the every minute node and it will start. Since we configured that node to run every minute, it will continue to send messages to Azure IoT Central until you stop it by either disabling the flow or redeploying.
Pop back over to your IoT Central app and you should start seeing data within a minute or so.
IoT Central App
As you can see, connecting Node-RED to Azure IoT Central is pretty simple. This is a great way to quickly prototype and experiment with different sensors and message payloads without having to write any code! You can also use this approach for creating gateways or protocol translators so you can easily connect almost anything to Azure IoT Central.
Appendix: Flow source
If you want to just copy-paste the whole thing in instead of building it up yourself, you can import the following JSON into Node-RED and just update the three values from your Device Connection String (see the instructions above).

Let $A$, $B$ and $C$ be discrete countable groups. Let $\alpha$ be an action of $A$ on $B$ and let $\beta$ be an action of $B$ on $C$.
Question Does there always exist a group $G$ which has $A$, $B$ and $C$ as subgroups and such that the group generated by $A$ and $B$ is $A\ltimes B$ and the group generated by $B$ and $C$ is $B\ltimes C$?
One obvious situation when such a group $G$ exists is when the action $\beta$ extends to an action of $A\ltimes B$. Then we can take $G=(A\ltimes B)\ltimes C$. But I'm interested in situations when $\beta$ doesn't extend.
For example take $A$ to be the infinite cyclic group with generator $t$, $B$ to be the free group on infinitely many generators indexed by $\mathbb Z$ (denote the generators by $g_n, n\in \mathbb Z$), and $C$ to be the rational numbers. Let $g_n$ act on $C$ by multiplication by $n$ if $n\neq 0$ and by identity for $n=0$, and let $t$ act on $B$ by sending $g_n$ to $g_{n+1}$.
Question In this specific situation does there exist $G$ as above?

The solution below via HNN-extensions shows this works in general, by appealing to 'big' groups. An interesting further question is "When does there exist a group $G$ as above, generated by $A, B$ and $C$?" – Jonathan Kiehlmann Jul 7 '11 at 11:55
The amalgamated product is generated by $A,B,C$. You probably meant something else. – Mark Sapir Jul 7 '11 at 13:24

The answer to the specific question is "yes". Let $U$ be the semidirect product of $C$ and $B$. Then as $G$, you take the HNN extension of $U$ with the free letter $t$ and associated subgroups equal to $B$, with the automorphism provided by the shift of generators. The result then follows from the usual properties of HNN extensions. The same argument applies in general when $A$ is cyclic.
In general you can take the semidirect products and take their amalgamated product with amalgamated subgroup $B$.

What are Hospital Ice Chips?
Table of Contents
For oral hydration, hospitals use small pieces of Ice chips to soothe a sore throat or to cool the mouth and throat. Methods to make hospital ice chips are crushing ice cubes or breaking up the block of ice. Ice chips are typically made from purified water and are safe to consume. When patients cannot drink more significant amounts of liquid because of illness or medical treatment, they are commonly used in hospitals and other healthcare settings to help patients keep hydrated and comfortable. Some people also use ice chips at home to help with dehydration, sore throat, or other conditions that affect the mouth and throat.
Benefits Of Ice Chips
- Hydration: Ice chips can help to hydrate the body because is solid form of water. People who have trouble swallowing or might feel sick and struggle to drink more significant amounts of water will find this to be especially helpful.
- Cooling effect: Ice chips can provide a cooling effect on the body, which can help reduce fever or overheating.
- Sore throat relief: Ice chips can help numb the throat and temporarily relieve soreness or irritation.
- Oral hygiene: Ice chips can help to clean the mouth and teeth, as the cold temperature helps to make it bacteria free and freshen your breath.
- Digestive aid: Ice chips can help digestion, stimulate the small intestine, and reduce bloating or discomfort.
- Pain relief: To numb, use ice chips and reduce pain in some body regions, such as following a dental procedure or during a sports injury.
- Weight loss: Some people use ice chips to curb hunger cravings and assist with weight loss efforts.
- Energy boost: Ice chips can provide a quick burst of energy, as the body uses energy to heat the ice and bring it to body temperature.
Why Hospitals Give Ice Chips
Hospitals give ice chips for several reasons:
- Hydration: Ice chips can help keep a patient hydrated, especially if they cannot drink more significant amounts of fluids due to illness or surgery.
- Comfort: Ice chips can comfort patients who may have a dry mouth or throat due to medications or treatments.
- Oral care: After surgery, a patient might not be able to brush their teeth or wash their mouth with water. Ice chips can help to clean the mouth and teeth.
- Cooling: Ice chips can help to cool down a patient's body temperature in the hospital.
- Swelling: Ice chips can help to reduce swelling in the mouth, throat, or other areas of the body.
Ice chips are a simple but effective way to help care for patients in a hospital setting.
Why to Have Ice Chips only Before Surgery?
You can only have ice chips before surgery because they are easy to digest and do not need chewing or digestion. It is crucial because, during surgery, the body's digestive system is essentially shut down, so anything eaten before surgery will sit in the stomach and intestines without being properly processed. It can lead to nausea, vomiting, and other digestive issues. On the other hand, ice chips can be quickly and easily absorbed by the body and do not pose any potential digestive problems. Additionally, ice chips can help to keep you hydrated and can provide some relief for dry mouth or throat.
What Kind Of Ice Maker Do Hospitals Use?
Hospitals typically use commercial ice makers, which are larger and more powerful than residential ice makers. These ice makers can produce large quantities of ice, making them ideal for busy hospitals where ice is use for various purposes such as patient care, food and beverage service, and laboratory research. Some hospitals may also use ice makers specifically designed for medical use, equipped with features such as built-in water filtration systems to ensure the ice is clean and safe to consume.
In conclusion, hospital staff gives their patients ice chips since it simply keeps them hydrated before and following surgery. It makes sense to provide commercial ice rather than manually crushed ice to your patients, visitors, or staff members so they can enjoy their fizzy water or drinks while staying chilly or cool on a warm day. I suggest visiting my webpage if you want to enjoy ice chips in the convenience of your own house.

Accessory Dwelling Units
Guide to Developing Accessory Dwelling Units
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), also known by other terms such as a laneway house, granny flat, or mother in law unit, is a separate housing unit on the same lot as a typical single family house. It can be either attached or detached from the main house. It could be rented out to a tenant, or it could be provided for free to the homeowner's friends or family.
ADUs are self-contained dwellings. That means an ADU should provide space for cooking, sleeping, and using the bathroom.
ADUs have a long history in Bremerton. They were a popular form of housing since the days of World War 2, when Bremerton's population boomed and housing was desperately needed. However, because many of those historical ADUs were small and built cheaply and quickly, they were not often considered in a positive light. Most people can imagine the benefit of having an ADU on their property, whether for housing their loved ones who can no longer live independently, or gaining additional income from rent. However, in recent decades the Zoning Code limited ADU construction, and many property owners that wanted to accommodate an ADU on their property were blocked from doing so.
In December of 2020, the City of Bremerton took a huge step forward and made it easier than ever to establish an ADU (Ordinance No. 5410). This page will help you to determine whether an ADU is feasible for your property, and inform you of the City's requirements for ADUs. Below is a table showing some quick standards for ADU construction. Click here for a helpful guidebook that will walk you through developing an ADU. If you have any questions, please contact the Department of Community Development at or _PHONE_.
What is an ADU? An additional, accessory dwelling unit on a lot with an existing principal unit added to or created for use as a complete, independent or semi-independent living unit with provisions for cooking, eating, sanitation and sleeping.
What areas of the City are ADUs permitted? An ADU may be permitted anywhere a new or existing single-family dwelling unit is allowed. ADUs are exempt from the density requirements of the underlying zone.
What is the maximum size of an ADU (square footage)? An ADU is limited to one thousand (1,000) square feet or not more than sixty (60) percent of the principal unit's total habitable floor area, whichever is greater.
 - If the primary residence is greater than 1667 square feet, an ADU can be 60% of its size.
 - If the primary residence is 1667 square feet or less, an ADU can be up to 1000 square feet.
How many ADUs can a property have? Each property can have a one (1) single family home and two (2) ADUs, for a maximum total of three (3) dwelling units. These ADUs can be either detached or attached to the single family home.
Must the owner live on site? No, owner occupancy is not required.
Is parking required for an ADU? The first ADU is not required to provide an additional off-street parking space. The site must comply with Chapter 20.48 BMC - that means the two (2) paved parking spaces for the single family home must be provided. A 2nd ADU must provide an additional paved parking space, for a total of three (3) spaces.
What are the required yards (setbacks & development coverage)? In the R-10 zone, the minimum front and rear yard setbacks are 15 feet, and the side yard setbacks are 5 feet. Contact a Planner to determine your zone.
An ADU must comply with the development standards of the underlying zone for the principal unit including setbacks, height, and lot coverage. However:
 - An ADU can be placed directly on the rear property line, if it abuts an alley.
 - An ADU can be as close as 3 feet from the side property lines, as long as the wall closest to the property line is built according to fire separation standards.
What are the design standards for ADUs? ADUs must preserve the appearance of the main house as a single-family dwelling,and the design of an ADU should blend into the existing house or the neighborhood. That means no duplex-like designs, and nothing that sticks out like a sore thumb. Try to design an ADU so that the materials used complement the design of the main house.

Sorting optimization for Sawmill stock
On the beginning of production you have sawlogs. On the other end you have timber in several sizes.
When sawmill usually buy sawlogs it has to sort it in some boxes prior to sawing. Number of boxes can be different from sawmill to sawmill. (Of course some technologies allow skip sorting).
So. Let's imagine that you are already sorting logs in some ways, for example with diameter step of 10mm. Then I give you these questions:
1. Is this sorting optimal?
2. For particular timber size... from which box You take sawlog to achieve optimum yield?
Sorting Optimization" module give you answers for this questions.
So, base on:
- real production (timber sizes)
- input sizes of logs
You can answer on questions:
- how should I sort logs optimally, if I need for example 12 boxes?
- I need to produce board with sizes 22x50.... from which box I have to take sawlogs?
As a result you will have:
for defined number of boxes you obtain suggested sorting of logs (4 optimization methods). Of course you can modify sorting as you wish. You can split adjacent boxes, join them or move borders between them.
Then for each timber size you obtain recommended boxes (numbered by priority).
So, you get for example results:
Box1: sawlog diameter from 100 to 102mm
Box2: sawlog diameter from 103 to 110mm
And then:
For timber 20x40 is the best to take sawlogs from box #3, then from box #2 etc.etc.

*With the release of Prospect 2.0, we now support FBX files. We recommend exporting to an FBX file from 3ds Max, rather than an OBJ.
*Note for 3ds Max 2019: The latest version of 3ds Max no longer supports Autodesk Standard materials, and the default material option is now an Autodesk Physical Material. These materials cannot be exported to FBX or OBJ files, so they will not appear in Prospect. A workaround you can use to export these materials is to convert them to Scanline Standard materials.
Software platforms write to OBJ files in different ways, so you may experience varying performance or need to take different steps when exporting from third party software. In some cases, you may find that loading your OBJ file into software that Prospect is natively integrated with, such as Rhino, and then launching through our add-in will produce superior results and allow you to better maintain the fidelity of your OBJ file.
Follow these steps in order to successfully produce an OBJ and MTL file that works with IrisVR Prospect with 3ds Max.
1. Before exporting, create a new folder on your computer where you will save the OBJ and texture files. Open Asset Tracking in 3ds Max.
2. Select all of the Full Paths under Maps / Shaders and right click to open a Menu
3. Select 'Make Path Relative to Project Folder'
4. Exit out of Asset Tracking
5. Select Export
4. Select OBJ in the dropdown and name your file
5. Make sure the options look like below
6. Select Map-Export and make sure 'Use map-path' is unchecked.
7. Maintain the format as JPG
8. Select Export. The resulting folder should look something like this, with the various textures used in your file visible as images:
9. Drag and Drop your file into Prospect and launch!
You may experience incompatibility when using the layers function with an OBJ file, in which case we recommend using a native file format.

Snapchat. One of those revolutionary apps that made an undeniable impact on the way social media apps work. Firstly introduced as iOS exclusive, later take a significant role within Android, too. And suddenly, it started declining to levels that make it almost unusable. Android users report Snapchat crashes, stutters, and overall poor performance. If you are among them, we have a few things to try and mitigate these issues, if not outright solve them.
Table of contents:
How to resolve Snapchat stutters and crashes on Android
If your Snapchat lags, stutters, or crashes on Android, make sure to clear data from the app, reinstall Snapchat, or roll back to an older version via an APK.
It goes without saying that you should be connected to a stable Wi-Fi network or mobile data network. Learn more below.
1. Clear apps cache and data
Let's start with the acknowledged route. Cache and data are there for a reason. Data is, obviously, everything you or the app itself stores on the internal storage. Cache, on the other hand, is there to speed the app's loading time and it contains temporary files. Both are important and both, sadly, can sometimes cause issues.
Follow the instructions below to clear both Data and Cache from the Snapchat app:
- Tap Settings.
- Open Apps or Application Manager.
- Open All apps.
- Tap Snapchat.
- Open Storage.
- Clear Cache and Data.
- Restart your device.
After that, you might need to sign in again with your credentials. If nothing changed and Snapchat still crashes, move through the additional steps.
2. Reinstall the Snapchat app
Even though the Android platform is much more homogenous nowadays, system update or structural changes within the system can affect the behavior of certain apps. And if an app is in a state in which is Snapchat currently, nothing should surprise you. Reinstallation is one way to address this.
Here's how to reinstall Snapchat on Android:
- Tap and hold the Snapchat app in the App drawer or on the Home screen.
- Drag it to the top and Uninstall it.
- Restart your device.
- Open Play Store.
- Search for Snapchat.
- Install the app.
3. Download older APK version
If the current, or even the latest few versions were causing issues, you can always downgrade by downloading the older, well-performing version. This procedure isn't as simple as roaming through Play Store, but it might help you overcome the current issues you're facing.
Here's what you need to do:
- Navigate to APKMirror, here, and download an older (but recent) APK version of Snapchat. Beta versions are also an option but we suggest avoiding them due to the aforementioned stability issues.
- Uninstall the Snapchat app.
- Allow app installation from external sources.
- Install APK, sign in, and look for improvements.
Don't forget to tell us in the comments section below. Thanks for reading and have a good day.

Aussie Museum To Return Maori Heads
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - An Australian museum
has agreed to return five tattooed and preserved Maori heads to New
Zealand, a spokesman said Thursday. The return of the heads from the
South Australian Museum in Adelaide later this month marks another
milestone in an ongoing campaign to repatriate all the tattooed heads
of Maori from museums and galleries round the world. Maori, the original
inhabitants of New Zealand, preserved the heads of their dead through
a drying process and often kept the heads of their loved ones around
the home. The South Australian Museum will hand over the heads - known
as ''moko mokai'' -on long-term loan at a ceremony on April 17. The
heads will be held by Te Papa, the Museum of New Zealand, in Wellington,
where dozens of other repatriated heads are stored. The largest collection
outside New Zealand, numbering 35 heads, is at New York's American
Museum of Natural History. Moko Mokai Education Trust spokesman Dalvanius
Prime said final negotiations were under way for the return of the
American Museum of Natural History's collection, and the heads should
be repatriated early next year. Prime also said the tattooed and preserved
head of a white New Zealander was secretly repatriated from Australia
in February and buried on land alongside the Whanganui River 160 miles
north of Wellington. Though Maori often kept the heads of their loved
ones, enemies or slaves were not so revered. Many Maori traded their
tattooed heads for European goods like muskets, meaning many heads
are now in museums around the world.
Preserved Maori heads traded by major-general
The first recorded sale of Maori mokomokai was in 1770,
says a history written by a chief trader and collector, British Army
Major-General Horatio Gordon Robley.
His book, published in 1896, Moko; or Maori Tattooing says Maori head
preservers steamed then carefully dried the body parts. Some heads
received further tattoos after death.
Robley said even dried Maori heads with few lines of moko were valuable,
as were "occasional specimens of dried European heads."
The trade ended "as far as possible" in the 1830s, with
most heads obtained in the last 20 years.
He said: "They are works of art; and it's value is subject to
all the vicissitudes that affect the value of other works of art.
"They are all very scarce and the number in private hands (as
distinct from Museum ownership) is very few."
The Major-General, who dedicated his book: "To those who have
served against the warriors of New Zealand",said among heads
in Museum collections were six at the Paris Museum d'Histoire Naturelle,
including a skin mounted on a plaster cast.
Two more were at the Berlin Konigliches Museum fur Volkekunde, one
fitted with glass eyes. This is pictured mounted on a metal pole with
a feather earring. Another four were in Plymouth, England.
He also mentions heads in Museums at Christchurch, Auckland, Sydney,
Gottingen, Germany and at the Royal College of Surgeons, London.
The Museum of New Zealand said last week it has mokomokai in it's
collection but they were not on display. It refused to supply Sunday
News with photographs of the heads because of the sensitivity of the
The many desperate tribes without the much-needed muskets to defend
themselves soon found a way of obtaining these weapons. The European
traders were more than willing to trade muskets for embalmed tattooed
heads. In war, the Maori custom was to take the heads of their victims,
embalm and preserve them, and then present the heads to the family
of the killed warrior. Because of the lucrative trade in dried heads,
with muskets as the end goal, Maori warriors began leading skirmishes
against other tribes uniquely to gain heads for ammunition. Muskets
were always available, but heads began to run short, and soon the
Maori found himself unable to continue supplying dried heads as previously.
News of the head for musket trade reached Britain, and caused an outcry.
As New Zealand was not yet a colony the British were unable to do
much to stop this trade. They were, however, able to pass a law against
the trading of heads to Australia in 1831, and after this date head
trading dwindled rapidly.Hongi Hika died in 1828, following a bullet

_USER_.org | Hubzilla Development
I want to sync items of two tables
faces_encoding and faces_person to a channels clone.
Do you think the following is a good approach?
Example for face encodings:
- Create an item (in table item).
- Use column item.app=faces and item.title=encoding to find (all of them) later on.
- Store a face encoding (content of a row in faces_encoding) in column item.obj
- Store the hash of the item in the encoding (faces_encoding.file_hash)
- Use item.sync_an_item($channel_id,$item_id)
- Before the channels clone starts a face recognition (it is always only triggered manually by the user via browser)
- Select all items using item.app=faces AND item.title=encoding
- Read the encodings from the items and write the encodings if new or changed
Depending on how it goes I would change it, e.g.
- Sync an image with all encodings instead each encoding separately.
- Of course I have store the file (image) hash in each encoding.
Do you can imagine a completely different way of syncing the data?
Is attach more appropriate or iconfig or...?
Once it works for ZAP I would port it to Hubzilla.
Many thanks in advance.

Jurisdiction Risk
Definition of 'Jurisdiction Risk'
The risk that arises when operating in a foreign jurisdiction. In recent times, jurisdiction risk has focused on banks and financial institutions who are exposed to the risk that some of the countries where they operate may be high-risk areas for money laundering and terrorism financing.
Jurisdiction risk can also refer to when laws unexpectedly change in a jurisdiction an investor has exposure to.
Investopedia explains 'Jurisdiction Risk'
Jurisdiction risk is generally believed to be higher in countries that have either been designated as non-cooperative by the Financial Action Task Force, or have been identified by the U.S. Treasury as requiring special measures due to concerns about money laundering or corruption. Because of the punitive fines and penalties that can be levied against a financial institution that is involved (even inadvertently) in money laundering or financing terrorism, most organizations have specific processes to assess and mitigate jurisdiction risk.

Rice Water for Skin, Hair and Health
The craze of using rice water is catching up very fast. If you have not yet heard of it, rice water is highly beneficial for certain health issues and also in taking care of the skin and hair. Let us first see the health benefits:
 - instantly energizes the body due to the high concentration of carbohydrates
 - provides instant relief from diarrhea
 - has been used successfully to treat gastroenteritis
 - prevents cancer
 - controls high blood pressure
 - helps in preventing Alzheimer's disease
 - reduces the body temperature or internal heat of the body
 - prevents constipation
In short, I would say it provides all the health benefits that eating rice would provide. But, more than that, rice water has been used as a face wash and a hair wash.
 - Washing your face with rice water makes your skin very soft and it also helps in improving the complexion
 - Is a great substitute for toner and firms up your skin
 - Helps in reducing the size of the pores on your skin
 - Washing your hair with rice water brings shine in the hair and helps to keep it healthy. Follow up with cold water rinse.
 - Powdered rice grains are also used as body scrub and they make your skin extra soft
How to make rice water?
I have read at many places that the water used to wash rice prior to cooking is rice water. But, that is not the actual rice water. You may collect it but it will not give you the full benefits. Instead, you should boil the rice in more water than usual quantity you use so that the rice does not absorb all the water and strain the extra water. This water is the actual rice water which is full of nutritional benefits. You may drink it or let it cool to use as a face wash or a hair wash. You may even garnish it with various spices and herbs. Read this article for step by step instruction on how to cook rice water.
Watch the video to learn how you can use rice water in various ways. But, make sure you cook the rice water the proper way.

 hi dear i have a question how often shd we use tis rice water and if we boil the rice it also contain salt as we add salt in the rice is it ok to use such water on yr skin
 - says
 oops!!! I didn't see about the salt part. yes, don't add salt as it dries out the skin if used on a daily basis. actually, we do boil rice without adding salt.
 - Anonymous says
 do not add salt while cooking the rice. You add it when u want salt later. One benefit u dont need loads of salt
 the curries and other side dishes will add the salt ok bye
 - says
 Well, the whole point of rice water is to place the RAW RICE into warm/hot water to leave behind all the healthy benefits. At that point, you'd drain the rice water off and THEN you start to add ingredients to your rice, that including the salt. You add anything to your rice while making your rice water.

 2. says
 Hey Fatima
 You can use the rice water any number of times you want. There is no limit. And, yes, there is no problem in drinking rice water with salt or using it on skin. But, make sure not to use it on hair because salt is not good for hair.

 Hi Swati
 I was reading another article on rice water and it said tht the water left after washing the rice has to be used.And yur post says that the water left after cooking the rice has to be used. Please advise
 11. says
 Hi Ariya…welcome to my blog….I have mentioned this point in the post that many people advise that collecting that water is beneficial for skin but actually that water is more of dirty than full of benefits from rice..that's what I feel and I have drunk the rice water from boiling so I know its a bit different in texture than the water collected from washing rice…so my advise would be to get boiled rice water…hope this helps :)
 12. Anonymous says
 When you use rice-water you have to use the water left over from rinsing the rice. Because it is full of impurities, you should separately boil this water. I have found that if you refrigerate it the product lasts longer. Tip: try adding green tea while boiling and it becomes a great skin-care product ^__^
 13. says
 Love your blog :) found this just a few days before my marriage it was great but if I had known this before It would've been just great, my bad luck.. nevertheless…
 I found this tip very useful and forced it on my husband too.. He also liked it.. hehe :) I just wanted to know if we can preserve this water?? usually when I cook thr is a lot of rice water left out and i collect everything. Its not possible to use the whole thing. So I was just wondering if it can be refrigerated or preserved in some other way?
 14. says
 thanks a lot Madhuri and welcome to the blog…hope you will keep enjoying it :)
 yes, you can keep the water I guess…I am not very sure but I don't think it will get spoiled if refrigerated but not more than 3 days!!!
 15. Madhuri says
 Yes you are right.. I had kept it outside for several days and what I noticed was that the starchy texture is gone and it becomes just plain thin translucent kind of water.. So it becomes useless for what we actually want to achieve. So use it the same day or maximum the next day not more than that.

 hi… but does having the boiled rice water result in weight gain??
 please advice as i was told that if u consume it everyday it results in weight gain.
 thanks so much
 - says
 well…as far as my experience with the rice water, I didn't notice any weight gain and I had taken rice water for a long time!!! but, may be its possible because it has starch. But, if you take brown rice water, that will not cause any such effects. hope this helps :)

Conservation Reserve
Gnangara Water Mound
Whiteman Park was established in order to protect the southern tip of the Gnangara Water Mound, a large underground water source that supplies drinking water for up to 60% of Perth.
The Gnangara Mound is Perth's largest source of groundwater, stretching from Gingin in the north, to the Swan River in the south.
Wetland and groundwater levels on the Gnangara Mound have been under considerable pressure in recent years due to a combination of the drying climate (less rainfall) limiting recharge of the mound, and extraction for irrigation and public water supply purposes.

Get signal on activate a certain cell in a tableview
 - Is there a way to get a signal when a certain cell (or column) in a qtableview loses the focus or get activated (a QAbstractItemView witch is inherid by a qtableview holds the signal "activated").
 Is it possible with a connect statement similar to this:
 connect(ui->myTableview->"here I don't know how to point to cell 0, 1",SIGNAL(activated), this, SLOT(myFunction))
 If it is possible like in the connect statement above, how do I write the sender (e.g. cell 0,1 in the tableview) correct
 Or is there an other way??
 Thank you in advance!

 What about using
 You get new QModelIndex which has
 So when u get this signal, u can check if the "watched" col and do your thing.
 You also get last QModelIndex, so you can check if a cell is "left" that way.
 Meaning its the last ModelIndex.

Display hidden fields from grid in edit form as texts
There are situation where we need to display the fields in edit form as texts, without a need to update it – just for information. In this article I will explain how to achieve this.
In Guriddo jqGrid there is no build-in way to display certain fields in forms as text for information purposes. Fortunately we have a custom functions with which we can do this.
In this example we will use custom_element and custom_value in editoptions object. The another requirement is that the field should be hidden in grid, but displayed into the form. Below are the settings in colModel which will do this:
colModel: [
 label: 'Freigh',
 name: 'Freight',
 width: 150,
 hidden : true,
 editable: true,
 edittype: "custom",
 editoptions: {
 custom_value: getFreightElementValue,
 custom_element: createFreightTextElement
 editrules : { edithidden : true }
In order not to display the field in grid, but in edit form we need to set the hidden option to true and edithidden option to true in editrules object
Now the field should be defined as editable and tell that a custom edit will be applied. This is done with editable: true and edittype: "custom" options in colModel. When a custom edit type is used we need to define two functions in editoptions – custom_element, which is responsible for the creation of our element and custom_value which is responsible for the manipulation of the value for that element. Bello are our two functions.
function createFreightTextElement(value, editOptions) {
 return $(""+value+"");
function getFreightElementValue(elem, oper, value) {
 if (oper === "set") {
 if (oper === "get") {
 return $(elem).text();
As can be seen the function which creates the element createFreightTextElement create a simple span element and append the value in this element. The function getFreightElementValue set the value in form when we walk through the records with navigator buttons (oper = set) and return the value when we push the Submit button form (oper= get). In case if there is a no need to submit this value to the server a serrializeEditData event should be defined in order to remove this Element. Below is the code that do this.
 { edit: true, add: false, del: false, search: false, refresh: true, view: false, align: "left" },
 // edit form options
 closeAfterEdit: true,
 delete data['Freight'];
 return data;
That is all. The example can be seen in our demo page here

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

Using plotmaple to return multiple plots
I need to generate 4 different plots (one for each multiple choice option).
Is there a way to get all 4 plots using just one plotmaple call?
I currently have 4, and the question seems sluggish when previewing. I'm wondering if it is because of all the back and forth between Maple TA and Maple.
4 separate calls for plots shouldn't be sluggish, I would follow up with support on that concern, however you also have the following option:
I have used this many times.. use the Plots:-display command to display multiple color plots on the same grid, with a legend indicating what choice is what line. For example redLine=choiceA blueLine=choiceB.. etc
Here is a simple to follow example that illustrates this and also uses an algorithmic answer in the multiple choice:
Link to.zip file that can be imported into your Mobius Course (it contains a single question).
Hope it works out for you,
Have you tried using an array of plots?

I used simple knife for cutting colocasia roots, while cutting them scab starts on my hands. I can used coconut oil on my hands before start cutting them but it was not effective tell me some methods to avoid this
 - 2
 Is it caused by an irritant substance or by the roughness of the surface? Either way disposable gloves would help, but in the latter case they would have to be more robust than the typical ones for food use, so it makes a difference – Chris H Dec 3 '18 at 16:37
 - Do you mean blisters start forming on your hands? If so, is it from the friction of working the knife on those roots? – UnhandledExcepSean Dec 3 '18 at 18:57
The colocasia root (also known as the taro root) has calcium oxalate near the surface under its skin. This makes it toxic to eat uncooked and can irritate the skin.
Common methods to avoid skin irritation are oiling the hands (which isn't working for you), peeling them under running water, which rinses off the irritants quicker, and lastly is wearing gloves.
I would recommend getting a box of food grade latex gloves, that should keep your skin from coming into contact with the irritants. Doing it under running water also wouldn't hurt.

Nested Object Form Support
Nested This allows forms to have arbitrarily complex nested forms that can build multiple related objects together. Let's take a simple example of a person with an address. Here are the related pseudo models:
class Person < ORM::Base has_many :addresses, :class_name => 'Address' accepts_nested_attributes_for :addresses, :allow_destroy => true end class Address < ORM::Base belongs_to :person end
The model declarations are dependent on your chosen ORM. Check the documentation to understand how to declare nested attributes in your given ORM component. Given those models and enabling nested attributes for the association, the following view will allow nested form creation:
= form_for _USER_, '/person/create' do |f| = f.text_field :name = f.text_field :favorite_color = f.fields_for :addresses do |address_form| = address_form.label :street = address_form.text_field :street = address_form.label :city = address_form.text_field :city - unless address_form.object.new_record? = address_form.check_box '_destroy' = address_form.label '_destroy', :caption => 'Remove' = submit_tag "Save"
This will present a form that allows the person's name and color to be set along with their first address. Using this functionality, the controller does not need to change whatsoever as the nested data will be passed in and instantiated as part of the parent model.

TRIVIAL PURSUITS: What is the difference between a green olive and a black olive?
One may think that green and black olives are two different fruits (or vegetables?).
First of all, according to the Oxford dictionary, an olive, just like a plum or a cherry, is a fruit. The olive is the small, bitter-tasting fruit of the olive tree, Olea europea. Olives are classified as fruit because they're formed from the ovary of the olive flower, and they're seed-bearing structures—the pits could grow into trees if you planted them. In culinary terms, however, olives are like those other fruit, tomatoes, and are treated as a vegetable.
Green olives are not from a different tree than black olives, they are just picked before they are ripe.

Explanation of Boat Excise Tax
Pursuant to Chapter 60B of the Massachusetts General Laws, every watercraft, including documented boats and ships, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water is subject to an excise tax unless expressly exempted. Excise is assessed for the "privilege of using the waterways."
The amount of excise due on a vessel in any registration year is calculated by multiplying the value of the vessel by the boats, ships and vessels excise rate. The rate is currently $10.00 per thousand dollars of value. The value of a vessel for the purpose of excise includes all equipment, including the mode of power and furnishings that are normally required aboard the vessel. The value is determined by the length and year of the vessel.
Excise tax will be assessed in the City or Town where the owner has the vessel habitually moored or docked for the summer season.
Excise for vessels are assessed on a fiscal year (July through June). If, during any fiscal year, the ownership of a vessel is transferred by sale or otherwise, the excise bill may be reduced by filing an abatement application (PDF).
The due date for boat excise tax is within 60 days of issue.

Cocoon Source Resolving
Differences between Cocoon and Avalon Excalibur Source Resolving
This story tries to list the changes between the two source resolving approaches. Originally, the source resolving was developed in the Cocoon community. As the community recognized that it had a more common value, the source resolving was donated to the Avalon Excalibur project and there it was refined and redesigned. Now the way back takes place by reintegrating the Avalon Excalibur Source Resolving into Cocoon and deprecating the now obsolete Cocoon Source Resolving.
The Interfaces
Besides the package names the main difference is that the Cocoon Source object is XMLizable, that means it can directly send SAX events. The AE Source object is not XMLizable, which is more correct as a protocol only describes the way of transport but not the format of the data which is transfered. Therefore it provides a getMimeType() method.
The Cocoon Source object returns a last modified time stamp which is very limiting. For example a source could have an expires date or something like that. The AE Source returns a validity object which is capable of all these validity checkings. So the information used for validity checking is provided by the source object and not maintained by the client of the source as it is currently in Cocoon.
As we in Cocoonland are dealing a lot with XML, a Source implementation can still implement the XMLizable Interface (from AE and not from Cocoon!) to directly provide SAX events. The Cocoon SourceUtil class has a method toSAX() which gets a Source object and tests if it implements the XMLizable interface. If not the new AE XMLizer is used which is a component that can convert an input stream with a given mime-type to SAX events. This component is configurable and extensible.


text: A method for estimating the sideslip angle of a Formula SAE vehicle with torque vectoring is presented. Torque vectoring introduces large tire longitudinal forces which lead to a reduction of the tire lateral forces. A novel tire model is utilized to represent this reduction of the lateral forces. The estimation is realized using an extended Kalman filter which takes in standard sensor measurements. The developed algorithm is tested by simulating slalom and figure eight maneuvers on a validated VI-CarRealTime vehicle model. Results indicate that the algorithm is able to estimate the sideslip angle of the vehicle reliably on a high friction surface track.

International Festivals are common in all countries. However countries hosting international festivals are unaware of the expectations and behavior of travellers related to their food choice behavior before their visit. A study was conducted with specific reference to Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF), Sarawak, Malaysia, to explore the food choice behavior of international travellers relating to neophobic behavior. The study followed interpretive research philosophy and exploratory study design with phenomenological interpretations, case studies and Delphi method. The research design integrated a longitudinal design during 2016 to 2017 period to develop a food choice consumer behavior model with triangulated tools and methods, identified causative factors related to consumer food choices. The study followed purposive sampling with a sample of 148travelers during the festival and data collection was done with the triangulated tools of indepth interviews, content analysis and observation following phenomenology method. The investigators came up with a thematic model in relation to food choice behavior of RWMF travelers, by extending theoretical and practical contributions.

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry fringe patterns usually have poor contrast so it is important to enhance fringe contrast for the extraction of phase from a single fringe pattern. We present new enhancement methods based on differential equations (called DE enhancement methods) to electronic speckle pattern interferometry fringes. The DE enhancement methods transform the image processing to solve differential equations. With the proposed methods, the visibility of the correlation speckle fringe patterns can be improved significantly. We tested the proposed methods on computer-simulated speckle correlation fringes and experimentally obtained fringes, and we compared the new method with other contrast enhancement techniques. The experimental results illustrate the performance of this approach.

Laser Tag Parties – Interesting, Innovative and Exciting
When it comes to games, many parents will fall back on the usual suspects. These could include games like Pin the Tail or Musical Chairs. However, in recent times, a plethora of games and entertainment options has emerged for kids. For example, laser tag parties are quite popular in Chatswood and the adjoining areas.
Many entertainment services in major cities provide entertainment services for kids. They typically provide a venue, where kids of all ages can have a blast. These facilities usually have ample space for kids to play a wide range of games, including laser tag and skirmish. The latter, in particular, is quite popular. Visit any major shopping centre and you will find kids enjoying a game of laser skirmish in Sydney and other major cities.
In laser tag, each child has a laser tag gun. In addition, the child typically wears a vest that is sensitive to the laser. Thereafter, the participating kids typically enter a dark maze, where they try to tag each other with the laser gun. When a laser beam hits a vest, the vest lights up. This indicates that the child is now out of the game. The winner of the game is the child who remains unconquered without a single tag inside the laser room.
