How does Smartcat handle repetitions?
During the project word count analysis, Smartcat identifies segments that are repeated both inside individual documents but also across all the documents in a project. Smartcat offers multiple options to deal with these repetitions. These options can be selected by the project manager in which case they will apply to all project participants. If no option is selected by the PM, the translation team will be free to choose how to deal with the repetitions individually. That last option might not be ideal as it might lead to uneven workloads since some users might choose not to share repetitions with the rest of the team.
The project manager can choose the repetition options in the Files tab of the project page:
This will bring up the following dialog box:
Option (1) is the main option - this will tell Smartcat that repeated segments are to be propagated automatically throughout the project when checked. Option (2) indicates how to deal with repetitions are using a different case (lower or upper): Use the original case - When inserting the repetition, Smartcat will match the case of the new segment. For example if the previous segment was "continued" but the new segment is "Continued", the text will be replaced automatically because it's a text repetition, but the translation will start with an upper case letter to match the new segment. Use the match case - Smartcat will ignore the capitalization of the new segment and use what was used in the segment that was previously translated. In our last example, the translation would now start with a lower case letter.
Option (3) instructs Smartcat to propagate translation to segments even if they have been confirmed already. This is helpful if for example the translators goes back to a repeated segments and makes a change.
And finally option (4) instructs Smartcat to apply the status of the current segment to all the other repeated segments. So once the translator marks the segment confirmed for one stage, all other repetitions will be confirmed as well for that stage.
In the editor, the translation team can change the auto-propagation options if the PM has not selected any.
Inside the editor, there is also an option to exclude segments from repetitions. Repetitions are indicated by a down arrow under the segment number:
By clicking on the arrow, we can mark the segment as being excluded from repetitions:
This can be useful when dealing with titles or picture caption where sentence can be cut in half and we don't want these segments to be repeated.

The Japanese phone system is a rather colorful one, quite literally.
The Japanese term for telephone is denwa and the public phones are akadenwa. There are four kinds of public phones. The oldest and most common is the red phone which is used for local calls. A blue phone is used for both local and long-distance calls. A yellow phone accepts 100 yen coins and is also used for both local and long-distance calls. Finally a pink phone, found in restaurants, coffee shops and similar places, are for local and long-distance both but have a call-back feature that the others lack.
Although the actual use of the phones is inexpensive getting a phone put into your house or apartment is not.

A filtered category is a categorification of the concept of directed set. In addition to having an upper bound (but not necessarily a coproduct) for every pair of objects, there must also be an upper bound (but not necessarily a coequaliser) for every pair of parallel morphisms.
A category whose opposite is filtered is called cofiltered.
Equivalently, filtered categories can be characterized as those categories where, for every finite diagram, the diagonal functor is final. This point of view can be generalized to other kinds of categories whose colimits are well-behaved with respect to a type of limit, such as sifted categories.
This can be rephrased in more elementary terms by saying that:
Just as all finite colimits can be constructed from initial objects, binary coproducts, and coequalizers, so a cocone on any finite diagram can be constructed from these three.
In constructive mathematics, the elementary rephrasing above is equivalent to every Bishop-finite diagram admitting a cocone.
More generally, if is an infinite regular cardinal (or an arity class), then a -filtered category is one such that any diagram has a cocone where has arrows. The usual filtered categories are then the case. Note that a preorder is -filtered as a category just when it is -directed as a preorder.
Even more generally, if is a class of small categories, a category is called -filtered if -colimits commute with -limits in Set. When is the class of all -small categories for an infinite regular cardinal, then -filteredness is the same as -filteredness as defined above. See ABLR.
If is the class consisting of the terminal category and the empty category — which is to say, the class of -small categories when is the finite regular cardinal — then being -filtered in this sense is equivalent to being connected. Note that this is not what the explicit definition given above for infinite regular cardinals would specialize to by simply setting (that would be simply inhabitation).
Every category with a terminal object is filtered.
Every category which has finite colimits is filtered.
A product of filtered categories is filtered.

Let $f:X \to Y$ be a holomorphic map between two smooth complex projective manifolds. Is there a good notion of pull-back of algebraic cycles by $f$ which preserves degree in the following sense: Suppose $V_1, V_2$ be two cycles in $Y$ with the same Hilbert polynomial and suppose $f^{-1}(V_i)$ are algebraic varieties. Then will the pull-backs of $V_i$ by $f$ have the same dimension and degree (as algebraic cycles)? A small comparison with the divisor case is as follows: As far as I understand that pull-back of line bundles preserves degree in the sense as above. By identifying Picard group with the divisor class group we have a similar statement as above.
share|improve this question
Pull-back of line bundles, say on curves, does not preserve the degree. Instead, it multiplies the degree of the line bundles by the degree of the map. Is that what you want? The Hilbert polynomial depends on the projective embedding, specifically through the line bundle $\mathcal O(1)$. Do you want $F^* \mathcal O(1)=\mathcal O(1)$? Something else? – Will Sawin Mar 9 '13 at 23:09
_USER_: I understand this fact. I meant that the ratio of the degrees of the pull-back of two line bundles with the same degree is $1$. That is what I try to explain in the beginning. – Naga Venkata Mar 9 '13 at 23:32
1 Answer 1
Yes, as long as $f^* \mathcal O(1)$ is a rational mutliple of $\mathcal O(1)$. However, we will preserve not the dimension, but the codimension, as suggested by the case of divisors. We use the standard notion of pullback of cycles in algebraic geometry (e.g. Hartshorne appendix $A$). This behaves well with respect to the intersection pairing, so $f^* A \cdot f^* B = f^*( A \cdot B)$.
Next recall that the degree of a cycle $V$ of dimension $d$ is just $V \cdot H^d$, where $H$ is the hyperplance class. Assume $H_Y = q f^* H_X$, and let $k$ be the relative dimension of $f$. Then the pullback of $V$ has dimension $k+d$, so
$f^* V \cdot H_X^{k+d} = f^* V_1 \cdot H_X^d \cdot H_X^k = q^d f^* V_1 \cdot f^* H_Y^d \cdot H_X^k= q^d f^* (V_1 \cdot H_Y^d) \cdot H_X^k$
but $V_1 \cdot H_Y^d$ is just the class of $n$ points, where $n$ is the degree of $V$, so the degree of $f^* V$ is the degree of $V$ times $q^d f^* (pt) \cdot H_X^k$.

Weak-field laser phase modulation coherent control of asymptotic photofragment distributions
Coherent control of the asymptotic photofragment state-resolved distributions by means of laser phase modulation in the weak-field limit is demonstrated computationally for a polyatomic molecule. The control scheme proposed applies a pump laser field consisting of two pulses delayed in time. Phase modulation of the spectral bandwidth profile of the laser field is achieved by varying the time delay between the pulses. The underlying equations show that such a phase modulation is effective in order to produce control effects on the asymptotic, long-time limit photofragment distributions only when the bandwidths of the two pulses overlap in a frequency range. The frequency overlap of the pulses gives rise to an interference term which is responsible for the modulation of the spectral profile shape. The magnitude of the range of spectral overlap between the pulses becomes an additional control parameter. The control scheme is illustrated computationally for the asymptotic photofragment state distributions produced from different scenarios of the Ne–Br2 predissociation. An experimental application of the control scheme is found to be straightforward.

What Does VR Mean on Nikon Lens?
What Does VR Mean on Nikon Lens?
If you are new to Nikon cameras, you must have come across the VR code and asked yourself, "What does VR mean on Nikon lenses?" A quick lookup on the Internet will tell you that it stands for Vibration Reduction. Simply put, it is an anti-camera shake technology that also goes by the name Image Stabilization (IS) in Canon cameras and Optical SteadyShot (OSS) in Sony cameras.
While that seems to tell you what VR is for sufficiently, we'd like to go further and explain just a little bit more of the anti-camera shake feature for Nikon lenses and what it truly means for you and your shots.
What Does VR Mean on Nikon Lenses?
Long before the invention of anti-camera shake features in cameras, blurred shots were a common problem for long lenses, handheld shooting, and dim lighting. While the use of a tripod, faster shutter speed, and higher ISO helped. Still, a good number of the shots were wasted.
In the year 2000, Nikon found a solution to this problem, making way for higher success in those conditions through its version of the camera shake correction mechanism, the Vibration Reduction (VR) technology.
The VR technology is an optical innovation that provides the equivalent of three to four stops compensation, which affords you sharper photos. Through built-in special motion sensors in the lens itself, it corrects lens, camera, and hand vibration when you're shooting at slow shutter speeds.
Because of the extra three to four stops it affords you, the VR technology also lets you play around with the aperture or exposure metering function of your camera. On an overcast day, for example, you can use an f/8 aperture instead of an f/2 for greater depth-of-field. Similarly, you can also use a lower ISO setting for higher image quality.
While VR doesn't solve all blurring problems, it greatly increases the percentage for getting crisp and more explicit pictures. Shooting in very slow shutter speeds, for example, will still result in overlapping images. Working with VR though, in such case, still brings an improvement.
The same is true when taking action shots or when you're working with moving objects since the science behind the tech only reduces your motion, not your subject's. There is something though that you can do as a workaround. If you couple VR technology with faster shutter speeds and higher ISO, you can up your chances of striking gold. Using a continuous shutter mode, too, will fetch you more clear shots to choose from.
How Does VR work?
The anti-shake technology of Nikon is different compared to other brands. Nikon's VR is integrated into the lens itself, whereas other brands have them in the camera body.
So, how does it work? Once the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the built-in VR sensor and lens group are activated. Two angular velocity sensors send velocity data to the lens microcomputer that computes the compensation needed to correct the detected vertical (pitch) and horizontal (yaw) movements. Then, the data is sent to the voice coil motors (VCM) that move the VR lens unit according to the algorithm. And when the shutter-release button is fully pressed, another algorithm is used to maximize blur correction during exposure.
Nikon has two main reasons for integrating the VR technology into the lens. First is it to provide you a clear and stable image right from the viewfinder. This makes focusing on your subject and exposure metering smooth, comfortable, and precise. Second is that VR units are optimized for each lens. Micro, zoom, and telephoto lens don't get the same treatment but are fitted with VR units specific to its function. With other brands where the VR counterpart is in the camera body, it provides you a one-size-fits-all solution.
Whether it makes a significant difference if the image stabilization technology is in the lens or the body is a subject for another discussion. Still, you have to be wary of the phrase "anti-shake," which is being used loosely by other brands that get away with no real image stabilization mechanism. What they have is just a semblance of it, achieved by boosting the ISO that results in faster shutter speeds.
When Working on a Tripod, Do You Need to Turn Off VR?
If you are using a tripod, then turning on or off the VR will not have any effect on your shots. Remember, a camera shake correction technology like VR serves as a "tripod" or image stabilizer.
There are times though when you can still benefit from the VR mechanism even if you're already using a tripod. Windy conditions are one of them. Unstable footing for your tripod is another. Working with long lenses is another case, where mirror or shutter movement can cause vibration and affect your shot. In fact, Nikon's three super-telephoto lenses offer a tripod vibration reduction mode; whereas, with other Nikon lenses you can choose only between normal and active modes. Check out our article about top 3 best Tripod picks.
How Does VR and VR II Differ?
Obviously, VR II is an upgrade of the original VR technology. Besides that, here are the specific details you need to know:
 - VR II zoom lenses come with a lock switch on the side to prevent "creeping," which was an annoying problem for zoom lenses with the original VR technology. The lock translates to no unintentional lens adjustment when you have the camera slung over your shoulder or when you're shooting upwards.
 - The first VR technology fetches you three stops compensation; whereas, VR II gets you the equivalent of four stops.
 - VR II offers you better image stabilization and image quality than the older version.
 - VR II lenses also have the quieter operation than its predecessor.
So what does VR mean on Nikon lenses? It means convenient and precise focusing and exposure metering. With the need to use a tripod reduced, it also translates to more mobility. And most importantly, it means sharper and better quality images right from the viewfinder to the actual shots with the correction of the lens, camera, and hand movement.

TRUE OR FALSE: Cold weather is bad for batteries.
FALSE: Batteries like the cold. Lower average battery temperature means longer life expectancy. A typical baggage tractor battery weighs well over 3,000 pounds, which is too much mass to lower the internal temperature over the course of a day or two. Hopefully, the battery is being used and charged, which generates heat and maintains temperature. And even if the internal temperature drops, the electrolyte in a charged battery will not freeze. So in most cases, even freezing temperatures don't make any difference at all, and possibly they even help.
There is some bad news, however:
- Lower internal battery temperature means lower capacity: A cold battery could deliver as little as half the capacity of a warm battery. And probably at a time when the tractor is demanding more power to do the same work.
- Some chargers shut off before cold batteries reach 100 percent state-of-charge: In this case the electrolyte can stratify, leaving mostly water on top and create the possibility of freezing. Unlikely, but possible.
What To Do
Don't let a tractor sit on the ramp for days. Keep charging and discharging. And make sure you charge to 100 percent and equalize charge regularly to keep the electrolyte properly mixed.

Does Huckleberry Have A Prayer?
In Mark Twainâ€™s Huckleberry Finn, the concepts of prayer, religion, and spirituality are introduced early on in the novel, and their influence on Huckâ€™s character and their role in the overall story is evident regardless of the theory of criticism that is employed for interpretation. A New Critic scours the text for conflicts, symbols, and resolutions while examining word choice in an effort to determine the literal meaning (Bressler 45-48). A Reader-Response Critic, particularly a subjective critic who advocates the readerâ€™s worldview over the text, reads the text and then relies on her own past experiences to give it meaning (Bressler 67). When these practices are employed, the Reader-Response Critic and the New Critic find that prayer and religion are essential components in the development of Huckâ€™s character as well as the perception of it.
Huck first mentions prayer when describing dinner at the Widow Douglasâ€™s home. He explains that â€œyou couldnâ€™t go right to eatingâ€ because you had to wait until a prayer was â€œgrumbledâ€ (Twain 33). From the beginning, there is conflict involving prayer because it impedes on Huckâ€™s desire to eat his dinner right away, and this gives Huck a reason to dislike the practice of praying. Huck never details exactly what the prayer states; he only refers to its â€œgrumblingâ€ sound, implying that he regards it as nothing more than discontented muttering. As a Sunday School teacher at a church, I have spent a lot of time with children who were just becoming familiar with praying. In the beginning, they often view it as a chore that is simply something that has to be done before a meal. However, unlike most chores, I have rarely seen a child dislike it, probably because they are in a clerical setting and have been told prayer pleases God. Huck, however, seems to be indifferent to praying and God, and I believe this is because he has not accepted them to be superior concepts like the children at my church have.
Huckâ€™s disinterest in religion is again evident when the Widow Douglas tries to teach him about Moses and the Bulrushers. Though he was â€œin a sweat to find out all about himâ€ (Twain 33), Huck loses interest as soon as he realizes Moses has been dead for a long time. Huck is concerned with the here and now, something that he can relate to, and because Moses lived eons before he did, Huck feels there is nothing to learn from him, as â€œhe takes no stock in dead peopleâ€ (Twain 33). A few children in my Sunday School class have the same attitude, but most of them appreciate the Bible and wish to learn its stories, even if they are thousands of years old. Their interest is again accounted for by their acceptance of God and their desire to know more about Him. Huck, however, has not accepted God and thus has no reason to mull over Him.
When Miss Watson tells Huck about heaven and hell, Huckâ€™s reaction indicates that he does not comprehend God or the significance of His presence, which is what Miss Watson is so desperately trying to stress. Upon hearing about â€œthe bad placeâ€ (Twain 33), Huck declares that he would like to go there, justifying his claim by expressing his desire to go somewhere else. This shows that while Huck may be oblivious to God and His legacy, he is not oblivious to the world around him or his own desires. He wants adventure, specifically adventure away from Miss Watson. When she tells him that she is going to heaven, Huck sees â€œno advantage in going where she is goingâ€ (Twain 33), and Huck resolves that â€œhe wouldnâ€™t try for itâ€ (Twain 33). His aspiration for adventure is again evident when Miss Watson offers a bland description of heaven by telling that life there is simple and consists of nothing more than singing and playing a harp â€œall day long forever and everâ€ (Twain 33). Huck is not impressed at all by this, a strong indicator that he wishes his life to be multifaceted and spontaneous rather than simple and predictable. The prospect of heaven presents two conflicts, the first is being with Miss Watson and the second is facing an eternal unadventurous existence. Huck resolves these conflicts by deciding he will go to â€œthe bad placeâ€ and enjoying the fact that Tom Sawyer will be there with him. As a Sunday School teacher, I have never had a child tell me that he or she wanted to go to hell, and I believe Huckâ€™s decision is based solely on Miss Watsonâ€™s inability to put across the notions of heaven and God. She condescendingly tells Huck about heaven, pompously bragging that she will be going there, while failing to realize that Huck is simply not grasping the true significance of either the good place or the bad place. She is overlooking Huckâ€™s desires and his belief in his own purpose, which is essential in fostering a relationship with God.
In the third chapter, Huck assumes an active role in prayer. For the first time, Huck tells of his own experiences praying, a practice Miss Watson encourages. â€œShe told me to pray everyday, and whatever I asked for I would getâ€ (Twain 39), Huck relays, but he finds that when he asks for material items, he does not always get them. When he asks Miss Watson to pray for the things he is praying for, she tells him he is a fool but refuses to offer an explanation why, and Huck is unable to figure it out on his own. Prayer again presents Huck with conflict, as it fails to help him obtain the things he wants, something he believes it is guaranteed to do. He also again finds conflict with Miss Watson, who condemns Huck for believing she should pray for materialistic things without offering any reason for her disapproval. This time, however, he gives prayer a second thought, as he takes time to think about it. He ponders why people are unable to improve their situations through prayer, a sign that he has accepted a concept of prayer, albeit a distorted one. Though a resolution is not fully reached at this point, it is evident that progress is being made, as Huck is becoming more open to the prospect of prayer. When I talk to children about praying, I assure them that they can pray for whatever they want while stressing that God will answer as He sees appropriate. Miss Watson fails to explain the relationship between God and prayer, something that Huck is unable to comprehend on his own. I feel Miss Watson segregates Huck and God, as she continues to fall short of truly explaining the concepts of religion.
The Widow Douglas is able to convey the principles of prayer and God more effectively than Miss Watson. When Huck cannot make sense of why people cannot obtain material things from prayer, he asks the widow who explains that praying results in â€œspiritual giftsâ€ (Twain 40). When he does not understand, the widow elaborates, and eventually Huck comes to realize that he has to put other people first. Even though he decides there is no advantage in doing so, Huck is still open to the Widowâ€™s ideas, mainly because she explains them. Listening as the widow describes God and comparing that depiction to the one Miss Watson relays, Huck concludes there are two different Gods. Conflict arises when Miss Watson demolishes the beautiful idea of God that the widow has relayed. This conflict is resolved when Huck chooses the widowâ€™s God, and even though he doubts that God would want him because he is â€œignorantâ€ and â€œornery,â€ Huck seems to be content with leaving whether or not he is accepted up to God. I believe the barrier between God and Huck increases because of Miss Watson. She continues to describe a God that is not just or loving, which is simply not how God is. Though I sometimes teach children who are mischievous, I always keep in mind that they are Godâ€™s children first and foremost, and my responsibility is to convince them of that to the best of my ability. By not teaching Huck that he is an important to God, Miss Watson continues to keep God and His legacy away from Huck.
Huck views prayer and religion as impediments because he has not been fully educated in their true significance. Two people, Miss Watson and the Widow Douglas, try to teach him about God and prayer, but they do so in different ways, which confuses Huck. He wants adventure but never recognizes that a life with God is an adventure. He wants to pray for things that are important, but he fails to understand that the important things in life are not materialistic. He wants to understand the things that Miss Watson is telling him, but she refuses to explain them to him. Huck struggles to ascertain a relationship with God because he is unable to acquire a sufficient understanding of Him. Because he does not immediately accept the

Romans go drinking
This Roman pot was made in Highgate Wood, close to Muswell Hill. The potter may have intended its shiny finish to look like pewter. The Romans would have used the vessel for drinking wine or beer. It was made between ad 70 and 160.
How was the beaker made?
Clay was dug out of the ground around Highgate Wood. The potters removed any stones or roots before 'throwing' the pot on a fast-turning wheel. They then dipped the beaker in liquid clay or'slip', so that it would have a clean, glossy surface. They used a comb to apply the dots, then fired the pot in a kiln heated with wood or charcoal.
Roman potters of Highgate Wood
Local potters seem to have had years of experience making pots - long before the Roman invasion of ad 43. As Roman London grew, they saw a business opportunity supplying jars, bowls and beakers to the Romans.
Archaeologists discovered at least ten kilns in Highgate Wood during the 1960s and 1970s. You can't see the kilns now, but the Information Centre in Highgate Wood has information about the Romans and the local environment.

The lake of Burano is found on the Tuscany coast to south of the Argentario, the lago has an amplitude of approximately 400 hectares and is constituted from divided water salmastra from the sea from a earth border. The oasis is composed from a rigogliosa flora, wide cane field rows grows along the coast that separates the sea from the lago. In the inside verdeggianti prati, make space, during the autumnal season to the wide water mirrors, typical of the swampy zones. Between the plants that grow in these lands we remember the Giglio of sea, the marine Eringio, the Juniper, the Mirto and the Leccio. Between the fauna of the common oasis we find the Folaghe, the Fenicottero rose, the Fischione, the Cormorano and in spring the red Airone, the ghiandaia, the Cicogna white woman and other anchor. This area was proclamata protected oasis is in 1967, when the association of the Italian WWF verifying that the lago went gradually degrading itself, decided to take in management the entire zone.

Today most of the apparel industry and manufacturing houses are dependent on labor centric cutting cycle. Manually fabric cutting and sewing make production expensive. Here is the role of automation came in manufacturing houses. Automation in fabric cutting rooms can transform costly labor-intensive production into high-tech production houses.
What is cutting room?
Cutting Room is a section of the department, where fabric cutting is done and processed for the following section (e.g. sewing section) in the garments manufacturing industry
Automation In Cutting Room
Automation in fabric cutting room improves productivity and quality of apparel. It will be helpful to minimize human intervention and prevent manufacturing mistakes in the manufacturing houses soon.
Revolution of Automation in Cutting:
Versatile new inventions have automated cutting room layout in apparel manufacturing houses. In the early 1900s, an automatic spreading was developed, which carries a fabric role over the table had reduced manpower. Then the Die cutters came to increase fabric cutting efficiency and quality.
Later on, numerically controlled machines named NC machines came Infront in the 1940s and 50s. Then advancement of technology invents the computer numerically controlled CNC machines, supported by tools like computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs.
Modern Automated Cutting System
Today, most manufacturing houses have similar automated cutting configurations. Straight knives and band knives are used in most manufacturing houses.
A cutting knife device is set up on a flatbed cutting table in a straight knife cutting system. The cutting device can move above the table. But in the Band Cutting machine, the cutting knife has a permanent position. The fabric could be moved and floating by air circulation.
These movements of the cutting machine or fabric let the cutting over the pre-planned area. It's managed precisely by an automated or semi-automated control unit.
Fabric Cutting Configuration
In a modern automated cutting system, single ply or multiple plies of fabric has a different configuration to cut fabric.
Single-ply cutting enhances with continuous processes. It eliminates the requirements of the spreader. Cause, the fabric can be supplied to the cutting area directly from the fabric roll. A conveyorized belt is used for foraging for increased productivity.
When multiple fabric plies are spread to cut, it requires more substantial cutting power—still, most manufacturing houses use this procedure to enhance productivity.
The use of automatic cutting machines has reduced both the number of workers and the time compared to manually operated machines. Besides, accuracy and efficiency can be increased.

Automation In Fabric Cutting Room is the Necessity in Near Future for Manufacturing Houses
Till now, Fabric cutting is accustomed to being done manually. But currently, an automated fabric cutting machine is being employed. Therefore, it is easy to cut the fabric additional preciously than before.
In automatic fabric cutting, the working pattern is saved directly in the computer even while not creating marker paper. According to computer instruction, the automated cutting machine automatically and accurately cuts multiple plies of fabric concisely.
Today's modern cutting systems are equipped with a vacuum system. It enhances cutting accuracy during the cutting process. Modern Cutting Room Equipment helps to cut fabric accurately and reduce maximum fabric wastage.
Apparel manufacturing houses can use various cutting technologies in the modern cutting room, such as computer-controlled cutting, lasers cutting, water jets, plasma, even ultrasound. These cutting machines are adopted by contemporary manufacturing houses to be suitable for multi-ply cutting fabric.
Why Automation in Fabric Cutting Room is Essential?
Apparel manufacturers houses face versatile challenges in this pandemic, such as labor shortage, shortening lead product times and shrinking margins, and so on. Modern technology in the cutting room will provide a competitive advantage over manual ones.
Time to production is the most crucial factor now. And apparel manufacturers have realized that the more the human resources involved in the chain, the more are the chances of errors and delays. An increasing number of manufacturing houses recognize that automation cutting technology can overcome serious challenges.
Benefits of Automated Cutting Room:
- Reduce 50% material costs.
- Increase productivity and fabric cutting ratio.
- Reduce workforce and eliminate the need for skilled cutters.
- Accelerate the productive sewing process.
- Helps to utilize Maximum valuable floor space.
- Advanced Integrated data sharing saves time and money.
- Easy to Analyze and improve the cutting process with automatic metrics.
There is no alternative modern solution other than an automatic cutting system. With these automatic cutters, cutting is smoother effective and provides the manufacturer with the best option suited to their need.
The Future of Automation in Manufacturing Houses
Fabric is always soft and challenging to handle and manipulate. It requires complex motions to adjustments. Therefore, full automation in cutting has never been genuinely possible.
But it can be improved by using AI, cameras, sensors, mapping technology, and software-driven algorithms; sewbots can adjust or stop as required. Technological advancements and automation are drastically transforming how apparel is produced. Automation in the Fabric cutting room is the desired necessity for every manufacturing house to get enough productivity and efficiency in the near future.
If you have any questions about What is the function of the cutting room? Ask on the comment section we will try to come with up a new blog about it.

This drawing demonstrates the extremely fine line-work which can be achieved with red chalk. The thinness of the lines suggests that Dalton used a natural red chalk, since these tended to be harder than fabricated or synthetic red chalks. Dalton would probably have fastened a stick of red chalk into a holder and kept the point sharp with a knife. The darkest areas within the figure have been made by cross-hatching and drawing closely spaced narrow lines one on top of the other.

In a data warehousing scenario, it's not rare to replicate data of a source table to multiple destination tables, sometimes it's even required to distribute data of a source table to two or more tables depending on some condition. For example splitting data based on location. So how we can achieve this with SSIS?
SSIS provides several built-in transformation tasks to achieve these kinds of goals and in this tip I am going to discuss two of them:
Multicast Transformation and
Conditional Split Transformation and how they differ from each other.
Sometimes it's required to have multiple logical copies of source data of a single source table either for applying different transformation logic on each set or having each dataset for separate consumers, Multicast transformation helps to do this.
In nutshell, a Multicast transformation is used to create/distribute exact copies of the source dataset to one or more destination datasets. In this example I am going to distribute data from [HumanResources].[Employee] table to [HumanResources].[Employee1] and [HumanResources].[Employee2] tables, please note that the multicast transformation distributes the whole set of data to all outputs, it means if the [HumanResources].[Employee] table has 290 records then both [HumanResources].[Employee1] and [HumanResources].[Employee2] tables will have 290 records each as well.
Before creating the package, lets create some work tables which we will be using in this demonstration. These commands will just create empty tables based on the [HumanResources].[Employee] table structure in the AdventureWorks database.
-- Script #1 - Create work tables for demonstration
SELECT * INTO [HumanResources].[Employee1] FROM [HumanResources].[Employee]
SELECT * INTO [HumanResources].[Employee2] FROM [HumanResources].[Employee]
SELECT * INTO [HumanResources].[MaleEmployee] FROM [HumanResources].[Employee]
SELECT * INTO [HumanResources].[FemaleEmployee] FROM [HumanResources].[Employee]
Launch SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio and create a new project.
Let's start with a "Data Flow Task". Double click on it to open the Dataflow Pane and then drag an OLE DB Source on the working area and configure as shown below.
Then drag a Multicast Transformation and OLE DB Destination from the Toolbox as shown below and connect the tasks using the green arrow of OLE DB Source to the Multicast and then from the Multicast to the OLE DB Destination as shown below. Next right click on the OLE DB Destination and specify the destination connection manager and destination table as shown below. Please check the "Keep Identity" property on the OLE DB Destination editor to preserve the identity value coming from the source table we are using in this example.
Next drag another OLE DB Destination from the Toolbox, drag another green arrow from the Multicast to the new OLE DB Destination as shown below. Next right click on the second OLE DB Destination and specify the destination connection manager and destination table. Please check the "Keep Identity" property for this one as well.
Once you are done with all these configuration, just hit F5 or click on the Play icon on the IDE, then you can see the execution of the package.
Please note the below image, from the source there are 290 records and both destination tables have 290 records written as well as they should.
Multicast transformation was introduced in SSIS 2005 and further enhanced and optimized in SSIS 2008 to use multithreading while writing data to multiple destination refer to this article.
Conditional Split Transformation
Conditional Split Transformation is used to categorize the incoming source data into multiple categories as per defined conditions. What I mean here is, very much like the SWITCH CASE statement of any programming language, the conditional split transformation tests each incoming row on those defined conditions and wherever it matches with any of them it directs the row to that destination.
For example, consider you have a customer table, you want data of this table to be categorized on the basis of Age into Juniors, Adults and Seniors, another example, which I will be demonstrating in this tip, is if you have an employee table and you want data to be divided into Male and Female based on the value in the Gender column.
Conditional split also provides a default output in the case that the incoming row does not match any of the defined conditions, the row goes to the default output. This default output is normally used to move erroneous rows to a separate table.
Let's create another package and drag a Data Flow Task. Double click on it to open the Data Flow pane, now drag an OLE DB Source on the working area and configure it like this.
Then drag a Conditional Split Transformation from the Toolbox, drag the tiny green arrow of the OLE DB Source to the Conditional Split Transformation and configure it like this.
Next drag an OLE DB Destination and then drag the tiny green arrow from the Conditional Split Transformation to the OLE DB Destination. At this point it will ask you the condition to use which you just setup in the previous step. For the first one I selected "Case Female" and then I setup my OLE DB Destination as shown below. Once you are done with this OLE DB Destination configuration for Female, you need to repeat the same process for another OLE DB Destination configuration for Male.
After this has been setup you can execute the package and it should look like the below image. As you can see out of the 290 source records 84 are related to female and moved to the FemaleEmployee table and 206 records are related to male and hence moved to the MaleEmployee table.
So finally, the basic difference between Multicast Transformation and Conditional Split transformation is that Multicast Transformation generates exact copies of the source data, it means each recipient will have same number of records as the source whereas the Conditional Split Transformation divides the source data on the basis of defined conditions and if no rows match with this defined conditions those rows are put on default output.
Once you are done with these practical exercises, you can dropped all the objects which we created for these demonstration with this cleanup code provided below:
-- Script #2 - Cleanup script for work tables we created
IF OBJECT_ID('AdventureWorks.HumanResources.Employee1') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [HumanResources].[Employee1]
IF OBJECT_ID('AdventureWorks.HumanResources.Employee2') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [HumanResources].[Employee2]
IF OBJECT_ID('AdventureWorks.HumanResources.MaleEmployee') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [HumanResources].[MaleEmployee]
IF OBJECT_ID('AdventureWorks.HumanResources.FemaleEmployee') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [HumanResources].[FemaleEmployee]


How to Monkey Patch when using Flex RSLs
Monkey patchers run into problems when using Flex RSLs. In this post I'll explain why monkey patching does not work when using RSLs and provide details of how to make it work. I'll monkey patch the mx.controls.Button class in this post and ListCollectionView and Spark Button in later posts.
Why doesn't monkey patching work when using RSLs? To answer this question it is important to understand two things:
 1. The Flash Player has a first-in-wins rule when loading classes.
 2. Flex applications contain two frames. The first frame contains few classes and loads the RSLs. The second frame contains the rest of the application's classes.
Say you've monkey patched mx.controls.Button, which will end up in frame 2 of your application. In frame 1 of the application, the framework RSL will be loaded which contains the mx.controls.Button class. When frame 2 of the application loads the monkey patched version of mx.controls.Button is ignored because of the Flash Player first-in-wins rule.
When you monkey patch a class that is in frame 1, then you are done, you don't need an RSL.
The basic steps I'll use to monkey patch are:
 1. Create an RSL with just the monkey-patched file and its inheritance dependencies.
 2. Add your RSL to the configuration to get it loaded.
To demonstrate the process I created a project with a simple application that contains one button.
The project was developed using a pre-release version of Flex4, build
Create an RSL
My modification of Button is just a change to set label() so I can see if a Button in my application is a real or patched Button. When the Button's label setter is called I just prepend "Monkey patched " to the original value.
_label = "Monkey patched " + value;
I started by adding to my source tree using the same package as Flex, "mx.controls". Next compile your source into an RSL. From the command line it will look something like this:
>compc -directory -output=button -link-report=link.rpt -include-classes=mx.controls.Button -source-path=.
>optimizer button/library.swf –output -button.swf
>digest button.swf -swc-path=button
After running these commands the size of button.swf is 143,596 bytes. Looking at the link report, there are a lot of classes besides mx.controls.Button that we don't need. Ideally, all we want in the RSL is mx.controls.Button. But the Flash Player requires classes that Button extends or implements to be defined when the Button class is loaded. Since we are loading this RSL before the framework RSL, we need to also include the classes Button extends and implements in framework.swc. For each additional class we include, we also need to include the classes it extends and implements.
Take the link report from the first compile of Button and copy it to a file we will use as our externs file. The externs file is what we will use to remove classes we don't want in the RSL. I actually seeded my externs.xml file by copying and pasting the script children from framework.swc's catalog. My thinking was that I wanted to exclude everything in framework.swc except Button and the classes it extends or implements. But now I can see that the externs file is much larger than it would have been if I had just started with the initial link report.
Next edit the externs file by removing the script elements for mx.controls.Button and all of its inheritance dependencies. After recompiling I was able to get the RSL size down to 35,152 bytes. That is still pretty big but it's the best we can do because we need UIComponent and UICompoment is big. When monkey patching spark components we will be able to remove UIComponent and get a much smaller RSL.
Add your RSL to the configuration
Now that you have your RSL, you just need to add it to the RSL configuration. I created a local configuration file, main-config.xml, with the RSLs I wanted. You can start by copying the elements from flex-config.xml to your local configuration file. Then add the entry for your RSL before the framework RSL.
The order of the runtime-shared-library-path options is important because it determines the load order of the RSLs. The RSL URLs in my configuration file are all local SWF files so before running the application I will copy the RSLs from my SDK frameworks/RSLs directory to where my application lives.
When the new RSL is loaded for the first time you will mostly encounter verify errors because you missed removing an interface from the externs file. As you encounter a verify error, remove that class from the externs file and try again. Eventually the RSL will contain all the classes it needs and load without errors.
Finally, run the application to verify the monkey patched Button is being used.

Soft-Shell Clams are found in intertidal mud flats throughout much of the North Atlantic Ocean, and in the US are most abundant in Maine. They reach maturity in one year and usually live about 10 – 12 years.
The abundance of Soft-Shell Clams in Maine is unknown, but recently landings or the amount collected has slightly increased. There is a statewide size limit of 2 inches for Soft-shell Clams with fisheries management delegated to individual municipalities. Management measures include limiting the number of permits issued, area closures, and re-seeding mud flats. Soft-Shell Clams can only be taken commercially by hand devices called clam rakes that cause minimal habitat damage and result in very little bycatch.
In Casco Bay, Maine, 25% of flats have been permanently closed due to pollution, which is particularly concerning in the face of increasing coastal development.

Rising Stars was a targeted effort at improving academic achievement by rewarding high-growth schools with both a cash incentive and public recognition. About 10 percent of Chicago Public Schools (CPS) elementary and high schools received awards, which were $10,000 per school in 2002-2003 and $8,000 per school in 2003-2004. An awards dinner and banner presentation recognized the achieving schools. Schools were evaluated based on incremental gains in state assessment scores, along with changes in high school graduation and dropout rates. The cash award was quasi-discretionary, with schools free to fund special projects as they saw fit – awards were used to purchase books and supplies, fund field trips and support school activities.
- Early example of recognition and rewards tied to student growth at the school level – now an element in principal achievement awards.


HTML5 Curation
From Flashpoint Database
Revision as of 06:35, 16 January 2021 by Nosamu (talk | contribs)
Jump to: navigation, search
HTML5 games are not nearly as endangered as Flash games, and are in fact often cited as replacing the Flash medium. However, they still pose a risk of disappearing at some point in time, and therefore should be considered for curation just like other web game formats.
The following page is a tutorial on how to curate HTML5 games to add to Flashpoint.
Before You Start
Identifying HTML5 Games
If a web game doesn't ask to enable Adobe Flash Player and there's no sign or mention of any of the other Platforms, it is very likely an HTML5 game. Some use game engines as their base, the most prominent example being UnityWebGL, which replaced the previous Unity NPAPI implementation that no longer works.
To confirm this, press F12 to open the Developer Tools of your browser, click on the Inspect Element button and click on the game area. This will show you in the Elements tab the iframe the game is located in, and there you'll find the link for the main file of the game. You can also look for a.html file, likely with the filename index.html.
Copy the file's link and go to it. If it plays an unobstructed version of the game, you've found the source of your Launch Command. Keep in mind that not all games should be divorced from the page they are found in, such as individual games outside of webgame websites.
Make sure to always use http:// instead of https:// to make sure Flashpoint grabs files from the fake Internet instead of the real one!
Grabbing The Game From The Internet
Some games have one or more image files that act as sprite sheets, others will have each unique texture as an individual file, so make sure to get them all.
Create a new curation in the Curate tab of Flashpoint Core and fill it out with as much information as you can, including the Launch Command you found earlier. The Platform should be HTML5, and the Application Path should be FPSoftware\Basilisk-Portable\Basilisk-Portable.exe, referring to the Basilisk browser used for HTML5 games.
After inputting the launch command, use Run with MAD4FP, and start playing the game. MAD4FP will download any assets automatically as you play and make progress.
REMEMBER, ALWAYS TEST THE GAME 100%, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL! This is true for all games, but especially HTML5, as nearly none are single-asset, you are almost guaranteed to find a multi-asset. Because of how it works, most games will only call assets when needed, so make sure to navigate all the menus, click all the buttons, and play the game as thoroughly as possible. This may include hidden collectables, unique voice lines, downloadables, completion bonuses, etc.
Wayback will not save these missing assets on a normal capture, and computers/browsers tend to clear cache much more frequently for optimization, making cache dumps unlikely to yield anything, so once it's gone, it's likely gone for good. Better to catch everything first try and make sure it's not lost. for more information on multi-assets in general, go here.
After making sure you got the whole game, test it again, this time without using MAD4FP pressing the Run button.
Responsive Design Mode and Mobile Elements
Some games will have mobile controls, loading different assets.
Unlike traditional plugins, HTML5 allows games to be played on both Desktop and Mobile. This means that some games will implement Responsive Design elements so games work better on mobile platforms. This can load new assets such as the pages, scripts, elements, images, etc.
To check whether a game has these elements, play the game both in desktop and Responsive mode. On Basilisk in the developer console, enable Responsive Design Mode, then on the Responsive menu enable Touch Events, and make sure to reload the page as these elements might not have been loaded on Desktop mode. Use the Rotate button to test, as some games do not allow you to play in a certain orientation and will load warning messages.
Make sure to skim through the entire game where these elements might show up, like parts with game controls or menus.
https removal
, because there are an extremely low number of HTML5 games that are single-asset. Your curation is almost guaranteed to be multi-asset. From here, you have two main options, both of which are described here
Don't be surprised if it doesn't work at first, HTML5 games are relatively stable and mostly work, but a common occurrence is the game refusing to load assets. This most likely is because of https requests inside the code of the game calling for files on the live web and failing, instead of http which calls local files. You will need to find and replace all instances of https with http in the game files. You might need to repeat this step multiple times for different parts of the game. This is a really common form of modification for HTML5 games, but it is minor enough that games with altered https requests don't really need to be marked as Hacked. Note that this rule only applies to text files (such as HTML and JS files); you must always mark a game as Hacked if you edit binary files (such as SWFs).
Missing assets
Alternatively, if MAD4FP isn't able to download a certain file, or Basilisk is having trouble running the application, you can Use cURLsDownloader. Simply copy & paste the URLs you wish to download, open cURLsDownloader, paste in the URL, and hit Enter.
Copy the contents of the Downloads folder outputted by cURLsDownloader, select the Open Folder button on your curation in the Curate tab, and paste the folder into the content folder of your curation.
Clean-up of junk Files
Since MAD4FP downloads every file requested by the game that still exists on the live web, you can get a lot of files that are unnecessary for the game to work. Be careful not to enter pages outside of the game as it will download them too, best way to prevent this is by knowing where this happens inside the game.
Even with these precautions, you will download junk form other services the website uses outside of the game. After deleting them, make sure the games still work without them.
Broken or non-functional games
Some games might require a certain browser we do not support or newer features not available on the 32bit version of Basilisk, which will no longer receive updates. This version is used to ensure compatibility with 32bit machines, and also because it houses most NPAPI plugins. Staff is working on implementing a replacement browser for these newer HTML5 titles. Make sure to ask staff if this is really the problem.
If yes, although unable to be played on the current version of Flashpoint being used, it should still be saved, as these features are likely to be supported in the future and the game work as a result.
For this situation, download the Brwoser Mode Launcher Extension, and type :browser-mode: in the application path field. This will use Flashpoint's built in Browser, which is more feature complete. This will fix most compatibility issues, you can still use MAD4FP with it.
Make sure to write a note explaining that the game does not currently run in flashpoint:
Game only currently works with the :browser-mode: application path extension as of Flashpoint version X.X, please test once a new version is released and remove this sentence if it's able to work without it.
If it still doesn't work, the best option is to run the game on the live web with the network tab open, and playing the game as if you were curating it as normal. After finishing, copy all cURLs, create a.txt file, paste and save. Next, drag & drop the file onto cURLsDownloader.bat. Copy the contents of the Downloads folder outputted by cURLsDownloader, select the Open Folder button on your curation in the Curate tab, and paste the folder into the content folder of your curation.
Upload this curation to _TAG_-lounge on our Discord server for safekeeping, as it might be able to work in the future.
Wrapping It Up
Follow the proper Curation Format, just like with any curation.
Click on Export button at the bottom of your Curation, this will create a single.7z file containing the entire curation, which can be found by clicking Exported Curations on the Curate tab, which opens the folder. Once you have the file, submit it to the _TAG_-game-curations channel of the Flashpoint Discord, typing the name of the game and using the HTML5 emoji when submitting. If the file is too large for discord, upload it to, and type the name with the emoji in the Discord channel.

Any number that is part of a record's bibliographic information that you can use to retrieve the records you need. The system finds the number in an indexed field.
Index label format
xx= (where x represents an alphanumeric character)
- NLM Class Number — lm=hq 1381 c524w 1976
- Music/Publisher Number — mn=co1979ab51
- Most efficient way to search for these types of numbers:
- A number search can retrieve a single record (e.g., by its unique ISBN) or precisely related records (e.g., by class number). Numbers are usually unique to a single record or group of related records.
- Type all numbers and letters.
- Omit spaces.
- Omit punctuation, except keep periods (.) in classification numbers.
- When entering ISBNs ending in x — If you use the number keypad, truncate the number using the asterisk key (*).

DOI : 10.3844/jcssp.2005.419.423
Journal of Computer Science
Volume 1, Issue 3
Case Based Reasoning is a problem solving paradigm which is able to retrieve and reuse solutions that have worked for similar situations in the past. Past situations and their solutions are stored in a memory called case base. To find the good experiment in memory is the key of success in the reasoning. To identify adequate experiment in memory constitutes the process of recall. The study presents an associative memory model used for a Case-Based Reasoner. The search algorithm is funded on an evolutionary approach to compute neighbourhood of a new problem then a direct access is performed.

Noncontact imaging photoplethysmography to effectively access pulse rate variability
2016-05-20T08:58:39Z (GMT) by
Noncontact imaging photoplethysmography (PPG) can provide physiological assessment at various anatomical locations with no discomfort to the patient. However, most previous imaging PPG (iPPG) systems have been limited by a low sample frequency, which restricts their use clinically, for instance, in the assessment of pulse rate variability (PRV). In the present study, plethysmographic signals are remotely captured via an iPPG system at a rate of 200 fps. The physiological parameters (i.e., heart and respiration rate and PRV) derived from the iPPG datasets yield statistically comparable results to those acquired using a contact PPG sensor, the gold standard. More importantly, we present evidence that the negative influence of initial low sample frequency could be compensated via interpolation to improve the time domain resolution. We thereby provide further strong support for the low-cost webcam-based iPPG technique and, importantly, open up a new avenue for effective noncontact assessment of multiple physiological parameters, with potential applications in the evaluation of cardiac autonomic activity and remote sensing of vital physiological signs.


Solaris 9 Installation Guide
Validating the custom_probes File
Before you can use a profile, rules, and custom_probes file, you must run the check script to validate that the files are set up correctly. If all profiles, rules, and probe and comparison functions are correctly set up, the rules.ok and custom_probes.ok files are created. Table 25–1 describes what the check script does.
Table 25–1 What Happens When You Use the check Script
check searches for a custom_probes file.
If the file exists, check creates the custom_probes.ok file from the custom_probes file, removes all comments and blank lines, and retains all Bourne shell commands, variables, and algorithms. Then, check adds the following comment line at the end:
# version=2 checksum=num
To Validate the custom_probes File
 1. Verify that the check script is located in the JumpStart directory.
 Note –
 The check script is in the Solaris_9/Misc/jumpstart_sample directory on the Solaris 9 DVD or on the Solaris 9 Software 1 of 2 CD.
 2. Change to the JumpStart directory.
 3. Run the check script to validate the rules and custom_probes files.
 $./check [[-p path -r file_name]]
 -p path
 Validates the custom_probes file by using the check script from the Solaris 9 software image for your platform instead of the check script from the system you are using. path is the image on a local disk or a mounted Solaris 9 DVD or Solaris 9 Software 1 of 2 CD.
 Use this option to run the most recent version of check if your system is running a previous version of Solaris.
 -r file_name
 Specifies a file name other than the one that is named custom_probes. By using the -r option, you can test the validity of a set of functions before integrating the functions into the custom_probes file.
 As the check script runs, the script reports the validity of the rules and custom_probes files and each profile. If no errors are encountered, the script reports: "The custom JumpStart configuration is ok" and creates the rules.ok and custom_probes.ok files in the JumpStart directory.
 4. Determine if the custom_probes.ok file is executable.
 - If yes, go to Step 5.
 - If no, type the following command:
 chmod +x custom_probes
 5. Ensure that root owns the custom_probes.ok file and that the permissions are set to 755.

Nonlinear Rayleigh waves propagating in a substrate coated with a thin elastic film are studied numerically. The evolution model consists of the nonlinear spectral equations of Zabolotskaya [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 91, 2569-2575 (1992)] augmented ad hoc to include film dispersion. The dispersion relation is obtained from linear theory but is otherwise exact. Both loading and stiffening films are considered. Computations are performed for nonlinear evolution of an initially sinusoidal Rayleigh wave under three distinct dispersion regimes corresponding to different film thicknesses. The validity of the evolution model is also examined.

I have script that has some functions.
Can I run one of the function directly from command line?
something like
myScript.sh func()

If the script only defines the functions and does nothing else, you can first execute the script within the context of the current shell using the source or. command and then simply call the function. See help source for more information.
share|improve this answer
Well, while the other answers are right - you can certainly do something else: if you have access to the bash script, you can modify it, and simply place at the end the special parameter $@ - which will expand to the arguments of the command line you specify, and since it's "alone" the shell will try to call them verbatim; and here you could specify the function name as the first argument. Example:
$ cat test.sh
testA() {
 echo "TEST A $1";
testB() {
 echo "TEST B $2";
# call arguments verbatim:
$ bash test.sh
$ bash test.sh testA
$ bash test.sh testA arg1 arg2
TEST A arg1
$ bash test.sh testB arg1 arg2
TEST B arg2
share|improve this answer
../myScript.sh && func()
First register it in the context, then call the functions in the shell scripts.
share|improve this answer
Briefly, no.
You can import all of the functions in the script into your environment with source (help source for details), which will then allow you to call them. This also has the effect of executing the script, so take care.
There is no way to call a function from a shell script as if it were a shared library.

To all that previously contacted Measurement Canada in support of fair billing standards, your voice was heard. Measurement Canada has now made this matter a priority and is collaborating with EV industry stakeholders to ensure that EV billing is made transparent and fair for all EV drivers.
Public EV charging operators currently bill EV drivers on a time-basis (per-minute or per-hour), because Canadian metering rules were not designed with EV charging in mind. After hearing from EV drivers and enthusiasts across the country, like you, Measurement Canada is now working on a plan to develop metering standards to allow EV charging to be priced on the amount of energy received (kW per hour). Tesla will continue to monitor the development of the standard and may, from time to time, share news with those who have opted-in to our Tesla Policy mail list about any proposals that would negatively impact consumers and the transition to sustainable energy.
The current rules would require the utilization of a pre-approved and inspected utility-grade electricity meter, which would increase the costs of charging infrastructure, and therefore the cost to charge an EV.
While EV charging and pumping gas are entirely different experiences, the equivalent would be like paying for gas based on how long a customer is using the pump -- regardless of the amount of gasoline transferred to their vehicle. Similarly, it would be like paying for groceries based on the amount of time spent in the supermarket, rather than the products in your cart.
As you may know, EVs charge at different speeds for a variety of reasons:
Different cars charge at different rates on the same charging station
- Different vehicle models are equipped with different onboard chargers and have different charging capabilities.
- DC-fast charging speeds also depend on the vehicle's capabilities and other factors.
Identical cars on different charging stations may charge at different rates
- Two stations with identical per-minute billing but different power ratings will result in the same bill, for a different amount of energy delivered.
Two identical cars, on two identical charging stations may charge at different rates
- DC charging speeds depend on a battery's state of charge, battery temperature and ambient temperature.
- Some charging technologies use power management technology to reduce the flow of power to a vehicle in order to optimize for efficient use of the utility service connection. While this can be useful for charging operators, drivers often have no knowledge of power limiting or power-sharing capabilities. Such technologies are likely to become more commonplace, which is why per kWh billing is more appropriate.
Measurement Canada's role is to protect consumers by ensuring that they pay for what they're getting. However, the practice of time-based billing, which EV charging operators have had to adopt, does just the opposite. It lacks transparency, it undermines the principles of consumer protection, and it is unfair for EV drivers like you. The fairest and most transparent way to bill EV charging is based on the amount of energy received, measured in dollars per kilowatt hour ($/kWh).
Many EV owners and enthusiasts like you asked Measurement Canada to allow kWh-billing as early as possible, and:
 - Temporarily pause the current requirements for EV charging equipment to be registered and certified as electric (utility) meters, so that charging operators can bill their customers on a per-kWh basis.
 - Set a clear timeline to consult EV charging manufacturers, EV drivers, and other key stakeholders and develop measurement specifications for EV charging stations. As a consumer protection agency, engaging with EV drivers should be a top priority.
 - Exempt residential and workplace stations from metering specifications and give multi-unit building owners flexibility in how to set up billing for home charging in larger buildings.
Enabling kWh-billing for EV charging will provide more transparent pricing and ensure that EV drivers are not penalized for slower charging sessions. There is still a lot to be done, but we are pleased to learn that Measurement Canada has begun the process to implement new metering rules for EV charging technologies.
Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy, and with your help, we are ensuring that all EV drivers feel confident that they're getting billed for the electricity they're really using. Thank you again for your advocacy efforts.

New Bilibid Prison
The New Bilibid Prison (NBP) (also known as the National Bilibid Prison), located in Muntinlupa City, Philippines, is one of the seven and most famous main insular correctional facilities for convicted male prisoners in the Philippines. The institution is operated and maintained by various Philippine government agencies, particularly, the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Bureau of Corrections, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Often called the "Bilibid", the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City was not the original prison facility that carries the Bilibid moniker. The old Bilibid prison located in the Mayhalique Estate in Oroquieta Street Sta. Cruz, Manila was built by the Spanish authorities in 1847 to incarcerate prisoners during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. The prison was established in accordance to a decree issued by the office of the Governor General or Section 1708 of the Revised Administrative Code. It was then formally opened by a royal decree in 1865. The penitentiary was divided into two main buildings. One is known as the 'Carcel' which can accommodate 600 prisoners. Prisoners incarcerated in the Carcel were divided according to class, sex, and the degree of the crimes they had committed. The other main building in the prison compound was called the 'Presidio'. This building was designed to accommodate 527 prisoners. All in all, before it was referred to as the Bilibid prison, this main Spanish-era prison facility was called the 'Carcel y Presidio Correcional'.
At the start of the 20th century, during the early American colonial rule, a modern 200 bed capacity hospital was added to the old Bilibid prison compound. A carpentry workshop was also built for the prisoners to hone their skills in woodworking and later to sell their crafts.
During the Commonwealth era under the presidency of Manuel Quezon, a growing number of prisoners admitted in the old Bilibid prison (this is due to an increased population and rapid urbanization of Manila) paved way for the creation and implementation of Commonwealth Act No. 67 ordering the construction of a new national prison facility in Muntinlupa City to replace the old Bilibid prison. The construction of the new prison compound started in 1935 with a budget of 1,000,000 Philippine pesos.
All prisoners incarcerated in the old Bilibid compound were transferred to the new prison facility in Muntinlupa city on November 15, 1940. At that time, the new penitentiary can accommodate up to 3,000 prisoners. On January 22, 1941, in a small ceremony attended by government officials and other luminaries, the new prison compound became officially known as the New Bilibid Prison.

Dead Children's Playground – Huntsville, Alabama - Atlas Obscura
Dead Children's Playground
Cemeteries can be boring for kids. The weight and import of death has not truly sunk in yet, so the cool headstones and elaborate grave markers must just seem like awesome rocks to play on, but no one will let them. They are going to live forever, so why is everyone so sad?
Well in a park space adjoining Alabama's Maple Hill Cemetery, the largest and oldest in the state, there is a small playground where they can have a place to release that energy. Of course this cemetery playground sees more ghost hunters and teenagers than bored children.
It seems like simple math that a sparse playground built on the grounds of a century-old cemetery would come to have a reputation more sinister than silly, but the planners put it in anyway.The small array of simple playground equipment includes swings, and a modern jungle gym. It is set in a low spot of the graveyard and surrounded by rocks and trees on three sides, making it all the more claustrophobic.
As the historic cemetery began running out of room in 2007, officials from the city of Huntsville decided to raze the play area to make room for more burials. Yet the locals were so outraged at the loss of their playground that a new playground was built, bringing the site back from the dead, so to speak.
Today the playground is known to locals as Dead Children's Playground and the mundane site has accumulated a deep catalogue of supernatural associations. As the believers would tell it, the swings can often be found to sway by themselves, spheres of cold ghost light can be seen floating around, and even the spectres of little kids have been spotted having a little midnight fun.
Dead Children's Playground, where kids can have the time of their afterlife.
Know Before You Go
The playground is located at the end of Newport Drive which is just off of McClung Ave SE. You can use Google Maps to map you there by typing in Dead Children's Playground. To access the park from inside the cemetery, you can park near section 40 and walk up the hill. You'll see a pavilion and the park is just the left of that.

Bearded lady
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Annie Jones toured with P.T. Barnum's circus in the 19th century.
A bearded lady or bearded woman is a woman who has a visible beard. These women have long been a phenomenon of legend, curiosity, or ridicule.
A relatively small number of women are able to grow enough facial hair to have a distinct beard. In some cases, female beard growth is the result of a hormonal imbalance (usually androgen excess), or a rare genetic disorder known as hypertrichosis.[1] Sometimes it is caused by use of anabolic steroids. Cultural pressure leads most to remove it, as it may be viewed as a social stigma. Notable exceptions were the famous (and usually false) bearded women of the circus sideshows of the 19th and early 20th centuries, before freak shows became unpopular.

In this paper, a model for predicting the quantum efficiency and responsivity of silicon based solid state photodiodes is presented. The model is first developed using semiconductor theory and then implemented in a computer software program. Correct operation of the modeling program is verified by comparing the published reflectance curves of several silicon dioxide-silicon substrate samples with the reflectance curves produced by the modeling program. Next, a system capable of measuring photodiode quantum efficiency and responsivity is presented and used to measure quantum efficiency and responsivity for a photodiode specimen. Finally, the measured and modeled quantum efficiency and responsivity results for the photodiode specimen are compared and found to be in good agreement.

A Study on the Awareness of Teachers about Social Media
Ph.D. Research Scholar
Mother Teresa Womens' University, Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu, India
The present study has been conducted among 72 teachers belong to various schools in all over Tamil Nadu to find out the awareness towards social media. The researcher used a self constructed tool for this research. The data collected was analysed and interpreted to draw inference using appropriate statistical methods like mean, standard deviation, t-test, and F-test. The result shows that there is a significant difference between the awareness of teachers towards social media with respect to the type of school, the teachers who have smart phones, and locality. Also it is revealed that there is no significant difference between the awareness of teachers towards social media with respect to the awareness of number of social sites and the time they spend in using social media.

What is the origin of Arceus' name?

Best answer
Arceus's name may come from the words arch (highest) and deus, which is Latin for god. It may also have a root in the Latin word arcanus, which means secret; sacred mystery. Arceus's name may also come from the word archaic (ancient), which comes from the Greek arkhaios, and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", arkhē. It could have also come from the Latin word archetypus (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of Zeus, the most powerful of Greek gods and arch (highest). Another theory may be the combination of Zeus and Ra spelled backwards (Zeus being the king of gods and Ra being the solar god and creator, albeit in different pantheons). Those two qualities are shared by the Pokémon. Also, Arceus can also be derived from aureus (golden), possibly referring to its hooves and wheel. Nevertheless, Arceus's name origin and possible theories have led fans to believe that Arceus may be in fact a creator deity in Pokémon form. Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" (or "s" sound) by the announcer in Pokémon Battle Revolution; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" (or "k" sound) in television commercials and in Arceus and the Jewel of Life. Its name could also come from arc, as in round/ring, since it's surrounded by one.

Wrong Arceus is the false japanese god of pokemon
In alchemy, Archeus, or archaeus, is a term used generally to refer to the lowest and most dense aspect of the astral plane which presides over the growth and continuation of all living beings. I'm guessing that they just used a bit of Latin, changed it up, and tied it in a bit more. It's an etyomology SF, so there's no way to tell which one is absolutely right. Besides, it's just a game.
it also may have something to do with the greek word αρχαίο(archeo) which mean ancient.

What are the reasons for the rust of self-tapping screws?
1. If the surface of the self-tapping screw accumulates dust containing other metal elements or attachments of foreign metal particles, the condensed water between the attachments and stainless steel will be connected into a micro battery in the humid air, making the protective film The self-tapping screw is rusted due to damage;
2. In polluted air (such as the atmosphere containing a lot of sulfide, carbon oxide, and nitrogen oxide), self-tapping screw manufacturers tell you that self-tapping screws will form sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and acetic acid liquid spots when they meet with condensed water, causing chemical corrosion ；
3. The self-tapping screw itself contains nickel and other trace elements, which will rust over time.
4. The self-tapping screw manufacturer will explain to you that if self-tapping screws encounter acid, alkali, and salt substances (such as alkaline water and lime water splashing on the decoration wall), they will cause local corrosion and cause local rust.
Self-tapping screws generally refer to pointed, coarse-tooth, and hard-textured wood screws, as well as aluminum alloys and plastics. Some of them will not be screwed when installed. The self-tapping screw manufacturers will tell you the solution.
1. Spray some spray lubricating oil, and then use a torx wrench to unscrew it.
2. The self-tapping screw manufacturer tells you that you can use professional tools to open the self-tapping screw installed in the machine. The key is to master some basic methods;
3. Master the strength of the opening. If the force is too large, the contents of the self-tapping screw will be damaged. If it is too small, the self-tapping screw will not be able to be screwed. Therefore, the self-tapping screw manufacturer warmly reminds you that you need to master the skills to unscrew it. Master the force evenly
The self-tapping screw manufacturer tells you that the self-tapping screw can be used on the material to be consolidated, relying on its own threads, to "tap-drill, squeeze, and press" the consolidated body to produce the corresponding threads, so that they can be closely matched with each other.

Hyperbolic plane has a beautiful triangulation by congruent hyperbolic triangles where all the vertices of the triangulation have degree 7, this is of course not possible in the euclidean plane, even more, I think it is not possible to triangulate the euclidean plane with triangles that are $C$-bilipschitz with a unit triangulation for some constant $C$, because that would imply there is a bilipschitz map from $\mathbb{H^2}$ to the euclidean $\mathbb{R^2}$ and this is not possible, is that correct?
So my question is: is it possible to triangulate the euclidean plane with any kind of euclidean triangles such that at every vertex has degree 7. I've been trying to do it by hand but always a lot of little triangles start appearing and I'm not certain if I can continue triangulating in such a way that the whole plane is covered.

Take a conformal map of the hyperbolic plane to the disc and triangulate it in a way reminiscent of an M.C. Escher painting. Map the vertices from the disc to the plane with some stupid map - the inverse of $(x,y) \to (x/\sqrt{1+x^2+y^2},y/\sqrt{1+x^2+y^2)$, say. Then draw a straight line between every pair of vertices that had a straight line drawn between them before. If none of the lines cross and none of the triangles start overlapping, you're good, but I'm not sure how to figure out whether this happens. – Will Sawin Aug 8 '12 at 18:11

Unless I am missing something: start with the image of a degree-seven triangulation of the hyperbolic plane (coming from the (2, 3, 7) triangle group -- that is the triangulation both you and _USER_ seem to be alluding to) in the Beltrami-Klein model (this will be a triangulation of the disk with Euclidean straight edges). Then lift the vertices of which are distance $r$ from the origin by some monotoically increasing convex function of $r,$ such that $f(1) < \infty, f(0) = 0$ This will move your triangulation to a straight-line triangulation of a convex "cup." Now centrally project this from the point $(0, 0, f(1)).$ The image will be a combinatorially equivalent triangulation of the plane.

_USER_: I think, the easier way to describe what you are doing is to realize (2,3,7)-triangulation of hyperbolic plane on the hyperboloid $x^2+y^2-z^2=-1, z>0$, then straighten it replacing hyperbolic geodesic segments with Euclidean ones. Now, project the result orthogonally to the xy-plane and you are done. – Misha Aug 8 '12 at 20:16
Thanks Igor and Misha for your quick and clear answers. – shurtados Aug 8 '12 at 20:42
_USER_: yes, of course you are right. What I am describing is slightly more general, but also I was conjecturing that the OP might have been less familiar with the hyperboloid model... – Igor Rivin Aug 9 '12 at 13:19
I am not sure what you are asking in your first question (what is a "unit triangulation"?) but one can prove the following:
There is no geodesic triangulation of the plane with all vertices of degree >6 and such that the following conditions holds:
b) the angles of triangles are bounded from below.
Condition b) means that each triangle is bi-Lipshitz to an equilateral triangle, so this is probably what you ask. And the reason you mention is valid.
Examples of geodesic triangulation with vertices of degree 7 are given in the previous answer, and it follows from, b) that some triangles in these examples are very thin.
Edited later. My first answer also had condition
a) all triangles are bounded.
I claimed that b) can be replaced with a).
This condition CANNOT be used to replace b). Here is an example of a geodesic trianglation of the plane with all vertices of arbitrarily high degree, and bounded triangles.
Begin with an equilateral triange inscribed in the unit circle. From each vertex draw segments from the unit circle to the concentric circle of radius 2, so that the degree of each vertex on the unit circle becomes large. Add some chords of the circle of radius 2, connecting the endpoints of these segmnts. Draw additional segments to make this a triangulation of some polygon inscribed in the circle of radius 2. All inner vertices of this triangulation have large degree.
Now repeat this construction. We obtain a sequence of larger and larger polygons $P_n$ each inscribed in a circle of radius $n$, and each polygon is triangulated so that the degrees of inner vertices is large. Continuing this indefinitely, we obtain a triangulation of the plane.

Here is the situation:
 - I cast Walk the Aeons with Buyback.
 - Walk the Aeons resolves and returns to my hand.
 - I cast Walk the Aeons again, without buyback.
Where does Walk the Aeons go when it resolves for the second time that turn? Can Jace's ability track Walk the Aeons across multiple zones?
Objects that move from one zone to another become a completely new object.
400.7. An object that moves from one zone to another becomes a new object with no memory of, or relation to, its previous existence. There are eight exceptions to this rule:
Rule 400.7h is an exception to 400.7. This is the rule that allows Jace's -3 ability to keep track of cards that you cast from the graveyard.
400.7h If an effect causes an object to move to a public zone, other parts of that effect can find that object. If the cost of a spell or ability causes an object to move to a public zone, that spell or ability's effects can find that object.
As soon as the card moves to any other zone, rule 400.7h no longer applies, and Jace's ability loses track of it. If you cast Walk the Aeons after that, it will go to the graveyard like normal.
As another user pointed out, this is also the most logical outcome. The game has no way to tell in all situations if the second Walk the Aeons is the same physical card as the first one.
 - 3
 Logically, the game can't really track that sort of thing, because there's no way for the game to know if the second Walk the Aeons that is cast is the same physical card as the first one or not. – GendoIkari Apr 13 '16 at 13:56
 - _USER_ That's one possible argument, but it's not watertight - what if the player had an empty hand before the Buyback? Then it would be the only card in that player's hand and the game could know. Of course, it would be a silly way of doing things on a case-by-case basis. The "game object" concept is much more broadly applicable. – Hackworth Apr 13 '16 at 14:14
