text: MgAuGa is the first ternary representative of the Mg–Au–Ga system. It adopts the Fe2P structure type (Pearson symbol hP9) and closely resembles hexagonal Mg2Ga through a direct group–subgroup relationship. MgAu2Ga also crystallizes hexagonally and is isotypic with Na3As. It adopts the structure of another binary compound, viz. Mg3Au (hP8), but shows an unexpected distribution of Mg, Au, and Ga among the atomic positions of the asymmetric unit compared to Mg3Au.

I need to access the internal binary representation of a loaded XML DOM... There are some dump functions, but I not see something like "binary buffer" (there are only "XML buffers").
My last objective is to compare byte-by-byte, the same document, before and after some black-box procedure, directly with their binary (current and cached) representations, without convertion (to XML-text representation)... So, the question,
There are a binary representation (in-memory structures) in LibXML2, to compare dump with current representations?
I need only to check if current and dumped DOMs are equivalent.
It is not a problem of comparing two distinct DOM objects, but something more easy, because not change IDs, etc. not need canonical representation (!), only need access to internal representation, because is very faster than convert to text.
Between "before and after" there are a black-box procedure, ex. a XSLT Identity transform that affects (or not) some nodes or attributes.
Alternative solution...
 1.... To develop a C function for LibXML2 that compares node-by-node the two trees, and return false if they are different: during the tree traversal, if tree structure changes, or some nodeValue changes, the algorithm stops the comparison (returning false).
 2.... Not the ideal, but helps some other algorithms: if I can access (in LibXML2) the total number of nodes or the total length or size or md5 or sha1... Only to optimize frequent cases (for my application) where the comparison will returns false, avoiding the complete comparison-procedure.

Warning for reader using answered solutions
The problem is about "to compare before with after a back-box operation", but there are two kinds of back-boxes here:
 - Well-known and controllable ones, like XSLT transforms or use of a known library. You must known that your black-boxes will not change attribute order or ID content or denormalize spaces (or etc.).
 - Full-free ones, like use of a external editor (ex. online-editor changing a XHTML), where user and software can do anything.
I will use a solution in a context of "well-known" black-box. So, my comments at "Details" section above, are valid.
In a context of "full-free" back-boxes, you can not to use a "comparison of binary dumps", because only a canonical representation (C14N) is valid to compare. To compare by C14N-criteria, only "Alternative solutions" (commented above) are possible. For alternative-1, you must, among other things, sort before compare a set of attribute-nodes. For alternative-2 (also discussed here), to generate the C14N dumps.
PS: of course, use of the C14N criteria is subjective, depends on application: if, p. ex., for your appication "change attribute order" is a valid/important change, the comparasion that detects it is valid (!).

You do know that XML is a text format, so the binary representation would just be a sequence of characters in whatever encoding the XML is in. – Joachim Pileborg Jul 24 at 17:42
_USER_, yes, the nodes are "text nodes", but there are no (binary) tree representation? I think there are (!)... I not see there (some graphic documentation?) what the name of the C data-structure for this main tree, that is distinct from a "XML-text dump". – Peter Krauss Jul 24 at 17:44
Yes there is a binary representation, and if the XML is UTF-8 encoded the binary representation is a sequence of UTF-8 code points. What would the binary representation of e.g. some data be if not the binary representation of the characters making up the XML, in other words the characters themselves. – Joachim Pileborg Jul 24 at 17:50
Or do you mean the actual in-memory structures that libxml2 uses? – Joachim Pileborg Jul 24 at 17:51
You can't do a byte-by-byte comparison of the internal representation of two DOM documents to see if they're the same. Two DOM documents created from the exact same XML document will compare differently because of various bits of data used in the internal representation (like pointers) are specific to the particular DOM document instance. – Ross Ridge Jul 24 at 18:00

Seasons are not only a symbol of temperature and weather, but also the driving force of the fashion industry. Around the world, seasonal changes have led to consumers' desire for new styles, so brands and designers must constantly come up with new ideas to cater to the ever-changing market. The concept of seasonality affects the entire supply chain, from design, production to sales, and needs to make corresponding adjustments according to seasonal changes.
Seasons are seen in the clothing industry as a source of inspiration and a driver of market demand. Each season gives clothing a specific functional and aesthetic character, prompting designers to create unique styles that are in keeping with the season. From light spring and summer clothes to heavy autumn and winter pieces, seasonal design makes the clothing industry full of change and vitality.
Spring clothing trends
Spring is the time of year when temperatures gradually warm up and the earth comes back to life. The cold winter is gradually passing, and the breath of spring is full of new life and vitality. The warm sun shines on the earth, the breeze blows gently, and the flowers bloom. The climate of spring is usually warm and variable, from fresh and cool in the morning to warm during the day to slightly cool at night.
In such a climate, spring clothing needs to take into account the characteristics of large temperature differences. Light and breathable fabrics become the mainstay to adapt to the warm sunshine during the day and the slightly cool temperature changes at night. Soft colors, such as light blue, fresh green, pink, etc., can be integrated with the natural scenery of spring, bringing fresh and comfortable feeling to the wearer.
The major trends in spring fashion design reflect the fashion industry's sensitivity to seasonal demands. In design, light texture and loose cut become the main elements of spring clothing. Pay attention to design details, such as folds, lace, hollow, etc., to add layers and design sense of clothing. In addition, a variety of styles, including skirts, shorts, short jackets, etc., meet the consumer's diverse dress needs in the spring.
Collections launched by well-known brands in spring often set the trend and inject new vitality into the fashion industry. For example, a brand's spring collection may highlight lightweight fabrics such as cotton, silk, linen, etc., to create clothing that is extremely comfortable. In terms of design, large-area flower patterns or unique embroidery techniques may be added to show the unique style of the brand.
Summer clothing demand
Summer is the time of year when temperatures rise, usually accompanied by high temperatures, humidity and sunny weather. This season presents a unique demand for clothing, and people are looking for comfortable, cool and breathable wearing experiences. In the hot summer, people are more willing to choose light and cool clothing to maintain comfort. In addition, UV radiation also increases, so sun protection becomes an important consideration in summer clothing design.
Summer clothing design has unique characteristics in lightness, breathability and fashion. The choice of fabric becomes crucial, and natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and silk become preferred because of their good breathability and hygroscopic properties. The pursuit of simple and lightweight design, focusing on cutting and pattern, to ensure that the wearer can be comfortable in high temperatures. In terms of color, fresh and bright colors are more easily welcomed and can reflect the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of summer.
Summer is not only the season of high temperatures, but also the season of vacations and all kinds of fashion activities. Fashion brands usually launch new models in the summer to meet the eager demand for fashion. The holiday season drives demand for holiday-style clothing, such as beach dresses, swimsuits and lightweight vacation suits. Fashion events such as Summer fashion Week also influence the design trend of summer clothing and lead the development of fashion trends.
In summer clothing design, designers need to cleverly balance fashion and functionality to meet the diverse needs of people in the high temperature season. Breathability, coolness and fashion become the key design elements of summer clothing.
Fall Fashion trends
Autumn is the transition period from summer to winter, the temperature gradually becomes cooler, and the temperature difference between day and night gradually increases. This change requires clothing to provide adequate warmth even when the temperature difference between morning and night is large. Autumn is usually accompanied by changeable weather, from sunny to cloudy to showers, so clothing design needs to take these meteorological changes into account.
Autumn clothing tones are often deep, warm colors, such as dark brown, dark red, olive green, reflecting the scenery of leaf change in nature. Designers love to use these colors to create a warm fall look.
In the fall, common fabric choices include wool, cloth, velvet, etc., which provide enough warmth and comfort. Wool coats, cloth coats become the classic choice for autumn, they not only have good thermal performance, but also show a noble and elegant atmosphere.
Due to the changeable autumn weather, the layered overlay became the focus of the design. Sweaters with vests, scarves, long coats, etc., can not only keep warm, but also create a stylish look.
Winter Clothing Challenge
The climate in winter is often cold and changeable. The temperature drops sharply and the weather can become dry, even with snow, rain, or cold winds. These harsh weather conditions pose a serious challenge to clothing, as clothing not only needs to provide adequate warmth, but also needs to be waterproof, windproof and other functions. In such an extreme climate, designers need to think about how to keep clothes fashionable and comfortable while maintaining warmth.
The design needs of winter clothing are not limited to warmth, but also need to consider a variety of elements. First of all, the choice of fabric becomes particularly critical, and it is necessary to choose materials with good heat retention and strong air permeability to ensure that the wearer can stay comfortable in a cold environment. Secondly, the design needs to take into account a variety of wearing scenes, including outdoor activities, office, social, etc., so the fashion design must have diversity and practicality. At the same time, the choice of color and pattern should also fit in with the winter atmosphere, bringing people a sense of warmth while losing a sense of fashion.
In winter clothing design, the balance between warmth and fashion is a key task. The warmth is not only reflected in the selection of fabrics, but also in the cut of the design, the thickness, and the use of accessories. At the same time, the pursuit of fashion also needs to take into account practicality, ensuring that fashion elements do not hinder the thermal effect. How to integrate creative design into functionality is an important consideration in winter clothing design, such as detachable fur collar, multi-layer design, and detail-oriented decoration, etc., are effective means to achieve this balance.
Seasonality has a profound impact on the clothing industry, not only changes in temperature and climate, but also an important driving force for the continuous evolution of the fashion industry. Each season presents a unique atmosphere, providing a rich space for inspiration and creativity in fashion design. Spring focuses on fresh, summer emphasizes cool, autumn pursues warmth, winter ushered in the demand for warmth, this diversity not only meets the actual needs of consumers, but also promotes the continuous innovation of the fashion industry. From short sleeves to down jackets, from beach dresses to sweater coats, the clothing industry shows off endless design possibilities in seasonal changes.
Seasonality also has a significant impact on apparel retail. Retailers need to prepare seasonal inventory in advance to accommodate demand peaks in different seasons. The promotion of seasonal goods has also become an effective means to attract consumers. Overall, flexible response to seasonal demand has become one of the key factors for the success of clothing brands.

Purpose: In vivo studies have suggested that motor exercise can improve muscle regeneration after injury. Nevertheless, preclinical investigations still lack reliable tools to monitor motor performance over time and to deliver optimal training protocols to maximize force recovery. Here, we evaluated the utility of a murine robotic platform (i) to detect early impairment and longitudinal recovery after acute skeletal muscle injury and (ii) to administer varying intensity training protocols to enhance forelimb motor performance.
Methods: A custom-designed robotic platform was used to train mice to perform a forelimb retraction task. After an acute injury to bilateral biceps brachii muscles, animals performed a daily training protocol in the platform at high (HL) or low (LL) loading levels over the course of 3 wk. Control animals were not trained (NT). Motor performance was assessed by quantifying force, time, submovement count, and number of movement attempts to accomplish the task. Myofiber number and cross-sectional area at the injury site were quantified histologically.
Results: Two days after injury, significant differences in the time, submovement count, number of movement attempts, and exerted force were observed in all mice, as compared with baseline values. Interestingly, the recovery time of muscle force production differed significantly between intervention groups, with HL group showing a significantly accelerated recovery. Three weeks after injury, all groups showed motor performance comparable with baseline values. Accordingly, there were no differences in the number of myofibers or average cross-sectional area among groups after 3 wk.
Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate the utility of our custom-designed robotic device for the quantitative assessment of skeletal muscle function in preclinical murine studies. Moreover, we demonstrate that this device may be used to apply varying levels of resistance longitudinally as a means manipulate physiological muscle responses.

National Archaeology Day in the Arizona Desert
October 26, 2011
On National Archaeology Day the Central Arizona Society participated in a mudslinging activity at Pueblo Grande Museum in Phoenix, AZ. Mudslinging is a stabilization technique for earthen structures, and the AIA volunteers worked with the Pueblo Grande Museum Mudslingers - a volunteer organization that has worked at Pueblo Grande for eighteen years. Pueblo Grande Museum presents and conserves the Native American ruins, including an earthen platform mound, from the Hohokam culture that lived in central Arizona between 450 and 1450.
Mudslinging involves four basic steps:
1) Remove the loose/flaky earth
2) Wet the wall surface
3) Sling the freshly produced mud onto the surface
4) Smooth the new surface.
The Pueblo Grande Museum Mudslingers volunteer one Saturday morning a month (9-10 months a year), and the work that was done on Saturday will last for three to four years.

What are reserves?
An account reserve is an amount of money that is on hold in your PayPal account to cover potential financial risk such as payment reversals you may receive like chargebacks and claims. PayPal uses three types of reserves: rolling reserves, minimum reserves and jumpstart reserves.
 - A Rolling reserve is a reserve where a percentage of each transaction you receive each day is held and then released later on a scheduled basis. This is the most common type of reserve.
 - A minimum reserve is a specific minimum amount of money that's held in your reserve balance. The minimum reserve is either taken as a percentage of money held until a certain amount has been reached, or a one-time amount.
 - For example, 5% of your daily transaction volume is held until a balance of $5,000 is reached.
 - A Jumpstart reserve is when funds are held from your available balance immediately.
 - For example, if we make the determination to keep a $10K jumpstart reserve and there is $20K in the PayPal account balance, $10K is moved to reserves straight away.
We may also use a combination of a reserve types on your account.
Why does PayPal use reserves?
Reasons for placing reserves
Reserves are a common industry practice. They are used to minimize losses and to create a safer shopping experience. If you would go out of business or would be otherwise incapable of covering your financial obligations, we would still need to pay back the buyer. If a buyer contacts PayPal or their financial institution because they didn't receive what they ordered, we're responsible for making things right. A reserve can be placed on your account for a number of reasons and is set on a case-by-case basis. PayPal considers a list of factors to determine this including:
 - Your processing history with PayPal and other providers
 - Whether your industry has a higher likelihood of chargebacks or refunds
 - Whether your account has an elevated number of customer claims and disputes
 - Your business and/or personal credit history
 - Whether you are selling products or services in advance (preselling orders).
 - Your delivery time frames - whether there are extended delivery timeframes
PayPal will periodically review the account to determine whether the reserve placement and amount needs to be adjusted. Reserves may be eligible for the reduction or removal with positive changes to key areas such as performance, industry, claims reduction, etc.
When will I get my money?
Once a reserve is placed, you will receive communications outlining the terms of your reserve. Your terms are also outlined in your account. When your money will be released depends on what type of reserve you have.
If you have a rolling reserve, the funds will be released after a certain period of time. For example, if you have a 90 day rolling reserve, funds from Day 1 sales will be available on Day 91.
For minimum reserve, reserves are reviewed every 90 days. PayPal proactively reviews reserves and based on improvements to your business performance it is possible that your reserves could be adjusted or removed.
How to prevent reserves from being placed on an account
Reserves may be a necessity throughout your relationship with PayPal. Preventing reserves isn't always possible, and depending on your industry and your credit history, you might never be able to fully remove a reserve from your account.
Seller Best Practices
Some best practices to follow are:
 - Monitor your buyer complaint rates regularly and try to keep complaint rates below 1% of your sales.
You can also access additional information on account reserves by reviewing our Business Resource Center.

text: ||It is difficult to acquire tagged cardiac MR images with a high temporal and spatial resolution using clinical MR scanners. However, if such images are used for quantifying scores based on motion, it is essential a resolution as high as possible. This paper explores the influence of the temporal resolution of a tagged series on the quantification of myocardial dynamic parameters. To such purpose we have designed a SPAMM (Spatial Modulation of Magnetization) sequence allowing acquisition of sequences at simple and double temporal resolution. Sequences are processed to compute myocardial motion by an automatic technique based on the tracking of the harmonic phase of tagged images (the Harmonic Phase Flow, HPF). The results have been compared to manual tracking of myocardial tags. The error in displacement fields for double resolution sequences reduces 17%.

Rotational Power Calculator
The rate at which a task or work is done is power. The power depends on the torque and the frequency of the rotation. Use our online rotational power calculator to find the power in rotational systems by entering torque and revolutions per minute(rpm). You can calculate rotational power in watt, autowatt, BTU/hour, erg/hour, gigawatt, kilowatt, megawatt, newton meter/hour, horsepower [electric], dyne meter/hour, electric horsepower and atmosphere cubic foot/hour.
Result :
If the torque is 50 Nm and RPM is 70, find rotational power?
Rotational Power = 50 * 2*3.14 * 70 / 60
= 366.51914250000004 W


Newspaper Dance
 - 2 or 3 sheets of newspaper
There are many ways to create dances with a double sheet of newspaper.
 1. Open the newspaper and spread it on the floor.
 2. Skip around it; jump on it; run and leap over it; slither under it; swivel on it with your feet together.
 3. Now pick up the newspaper and wave it from side to side; run with it high in the air; throw it up in the air and watch it float to the floor; repeat and then try to imitate the movement pattern of the newspaper.
 4. Next, crumple the newspaper into a ball; throw the ball and catch it; roll it along the floor and follow on your hands and knees; stand up and dribble it with your feet; lie on your back and hold the ball between your feet how many different movements can you make?
 5. Finally, spread the paper out flat again; pick it up, and as you move from place to place, shred the paper into little pieces and toss them into the air like confetti; scoop up handfuls and throw into the air as you conclude the "newspaper dance."
Note: Be sure to pick up all the pieces of newspaper and take them to the recycling bin!

Ancient History
What does Heliopolis mean?
Answered by Discovery Channel
 - Discovery Channel
 Discovery Channel
 1. Heliopolis is a Greek word that means "city of the sun." Two cities were given this title by the ancient Greeks, one in Egypt and one in Baalbek in Syria. Egypt's Heliopolis, located near modern Cairo, was originally a center for sun worship for the ancient Egyptians. There is even a reference to it in the Bible, where it's called On. The city later became a center for learning philosophy and astronomy. However, the center's importance waned and it was eventually deserted, in 332 B.C., when Alexandria was founded.

Can anyone tell me why do I have attribute table text on my layers in ArcMap 10 and how I can get rid of those texts? I have no idea when the texts appeared into my workspace. I have been digitizing and copying and pasting polygons from layer to another. However, the texts seems not to be part of any layer because they stay on the screen even I chance the visibility of all my layers.
Printscreen-picture of my view
share|improve this question
Open a new mxd to where you drag your layers one by one. Then you can narrow down which layer the text is associated to, if any. You don't seem to have overly many layers, so shouldn't be too time consuming. – Martin Feb 12 '14 at 8:47
Thanks for the tip! That solved it! The text was not part of any layer (like I assumed) and didn't appear in the new mxd. – Blueridge Feb 12 '14 at 8:59
2 Answers 2
The text you see is the result of Paste operation. The most likely reason for that is that you had either created a report in ArcMap or copied rows from Attribute table by using Copy (or just Ctrl-C shortcut). This piece of data was stored in your operation system clipboard and when you were trying to copy/paste a layer in the table of contents or a feature, you have pasted what you had latest in the clipboard which were those rows.
You will likely be able to select this object by using the Select Elements tool on the Standard toolbar and then delete it.

Not knowing the history of this map it is not possible to be certain, but from the description of what solved it, I would say that you were seeing Graphic Text that was created in your map at some point in time.
There is an Online Hep Page entitled Essential annotation and graphic text concepts that may be worth reviewing if you want to know more about Graphic Text (and Annotation).
If they are Graphic Text then they should be selectable for deletion (with the Delete key) by using Edit | Select All Elements.

Thank you all! The texts were indeed Graphic Text. I pasted some texts again for testing and I was able to delete the texts by Edit | Select All Elements (and Delete key). Much easier than dragging all layers to new mxd! – Blueridge Feb 13 '14 at 13:46

When you attempt to sort issues by Rank using the Issue Navigator, the issues do not appear to be sorted numerically. Users sometimes expect that issues will appear ordered by the Rank field, in consecutive order from 1 to the number of ranked issues.
In JIRA Agile 5.8 and later, ranking is based on a custom field called 'Rank' (of type Global Rank). Note that you can have multiple fields of type Global Rank, if you wish. Each Global Rank field is a linked list that contains every issue in JIRA in order (from highest rank to lowest rank).
The 'value' of a Global Rank field for an issue is not meaningful, though by co-incidence it contains the absolute index inside the linked list of issues in the system. The user is not meant to view this field (it is not shown on the View Issue screen or the Issue Navigator by default) because the absolute number does not mean anything except when compared to other issues in the search results. For example, the ranks in a system might look like the following:
If the user searched inside project PRO and ordered by the rank field they would get the correct order of issues (PRO-1, PRO-2, PRO-8, PRO-13) but would be confused by the numbers (2, 4, 6, 7). The fact that there are gaps is irrelevant because they probably do not care about TST at all. The end summary:
 - If you query issues with "order by rank asc" you will get the correct order of issues by rank.
 - The numbers shown (ie. the value of the Rank field) will often not be sequential, but their order is correct.
 - The exception to the above is that sub-tasks are ranked independently.
 - If you queried every issue in the system and ordered by Rank, then the rank field would begin at 1 and increase consecutively except for subtasks.
Special Note About Sub-Tasks
While sub-tasks are included in the global rank linked list, they are ranked first by their parent then by their own rank. Thus the logic for comparing two issues during a "sort by rank" is:
 1. If issue is a parent issue, compare index.
 2. If issue is a subtask,
 1. First compare parent index, return higher (if not subtasks of the same parent).
 2. Then compare subtask index (if the other issue is also a subtask of the same issue).
This means that subtasks are always ranked immediately next to their parent regardless of the absolute ranking index value. As a result, a search of all issues in a system with something like "order by rank asc" would correctly return the ordered list of issues but the rank value would only be consecutive for non sub-tasks (except for gaps where the sub-tasks consume index values). Here's an example:
4PRO-8 / PRO-16
6PRO-8 / PRO-19
9PRO-1 / PRO-4
If you searched only for project PRO with "order by rank asc" you would get PRO-8, PRO-16, PRO-19, PRO-4, PRO-1, PRO-4. The 'rank' values would be 1, 4, 6, 3, 7, 9.

Free Surface Tank Filling CFD Simulation
This animation, created by Caedium Professional, shows a transient multiphase CFD simulation of water filling a tank that is initially filled with air. The free surface is shown as blue for the air-side surface and red for the water-side surface. Each frame of the animation was automatically rendered by POV-Ray (a ray-tracer) through Caedium.
Try CFD Yourself
Are you ready for a 30-day free trial of Caedium Professional?
For such a simple geometry it is worth the extra effort to produce a multi-block hexahedra mesh. This means constraining the geometry during construction to be volumes with 6 faces. Once complete the multiple volumes can then be connected at common faces to form a continuous flow domain.
With a constrained multi-block topology the meshing can then produce hexahedra cells. Typically hexahedra are more accurate for CFD simulations compared to other element shapes.
Rather than post process a huge amount of flow data (there were 600 frames in the movie) after the simulation was finished to create the movie, Caedium simultaneously initiated each frame render in POV-Ray while the simulation was running.
For comparison a native (non-ray traced) render of the same frame is shown below:
Checkout Caedium tutorials on:

The NFL's rules protect quarterbacks, and for good reason. There simply aren't enough of them who can perform at a high level.
The protections include preventing certain hits on quarterbacks and permitting certain behaviors aimed at allowing quarterbacks to avoid otherwise legal hits. The Panthers propose limiting the latter.
Specifically, Carolina has proposed a rule change aimed at expanding the definition of intentional grounding, on the basis that the current rule doesn't adequately prevent fouls.
Here's the current rule: "It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer,facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion. A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver. If a player intentionally throws a ball to the ground, it is intentional grounding, unless the receiver is surrounded by defenders on an attempted screen pass."
The proposal would remove this sentence: "A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver."
The only problem is that the revised rule would leave the term "realistic chance of completion" undefined. But maybe the wisdom of the proposal is that "realistic chance of completion" doesn't need to be defined. Maybe common sense should apply, since the current definition of "realistic chance of completion" is completely nonsensical.
A pass that "lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver" doesn't necessarily have a "realistic chance of completion." A pass that has a realistic chance of completion has a "realistic chance of completion," and fans tends to know it when they see it.
As the rule is currently written and interpreted, the quarterback needs to do little more than spike the ball for intentional grounding to be avoided. So if the current rule is going to remain in place, why not just let a quarterback who is feeling the heat spike the ball?
That would make far more sense than the current rule, which lets the dart not just miss the board but fail to even strike the wall.

for conflating (merging) of data
This is a plugin for conflating (merging) objects in JOSM. For now it focuses on one-to-one matches between POIs, such as addresses and buildings, parks, schools, bus stops, etc. It leverages the Replace Geometry command from utilsplugin2 to replace or upgrade one OSM object to another.

Motivating use cases
In 2009 feature data from GNIS was imported into OSM as nodes. Since that time some have been converted to areas, been moved, or even replaced. In this process the gnis:feature_id has sometimes been lost, and the conflation process could add back the correct ID. Also, GNIS has provided updates since 2009, which could be added to OSM with this tool. The conflation plugin could merge this data, with a strong weighting towards matching gnis_feature_id=* and name=*.
Replacing address nodes with building polygons
Consider replacing address nodes in OSM with high quality building data from a local authority. If the buildings have addresses associated with them, then matches would be heavily weighted towards matching addr:housenumber=* and addr:street=*. If there is no such addressing information, the data could still be conflated by setting a threshhold on the distance of perhaps 20 meters.
Updating Building Footprints
Buildings have been imported or traced by hand. An external data source has been released, and you would like to update the building in OSM to use the best building footprint from either source.
Optimal parking space assignment
This is for fun rather than for conflating data with OSM. Imagine you have a neighborhood where you've mapped all the parking spaces and the houses. You can "conflate" the two only using distance in the cost calculation to determine the optimal assignment of houses to parking spaces. If each house gets two parking spaces, you could duplicate (copy and paste) the house nodes/polygons, and you'd get two spaces matched to each house.
Follow these instructions to install the conflation plugin automatically. If you plan on doing matches over 500 objects, you should use the 64 bit java VM, so you don't run out of memory.
- Reference: the dataset which is presumed to have the best spatial accuracy and attribute (tag) comprehensiveness, typically a third-party dataset such as from a government entity
- Subject: the dataset which will have the geometry and/or attributes of the reference dataset merged into it, typically an up-to-date dataset downloaded from the OSM servers
The plugin requires that the Reference dataset be in a format that can be loaded by JOSM (an OSM file). Download the area that you would like edit first, then use the File | Open command to load in the external OSM file as a new layer. If you open the file external first, then download JOSM will download the data into the existing layer, which will make selections very difficult.
- If not already shown, enable the conflation dialog from the left panel.
- Click Configure, select some objects with better geometry and/or tags and click Freeze' in the Reference panel.
- Do the same for some other objects in the Subject panel.
- Click OK.
Doing the selection will require using the Edit | Search window. If you are conflating ways, you need to only select ways and not points. Conversely, if you are conflating points, you don't want to have any ways selected. Currently the plugin does not support relations, so they should never be selected. For example, "building=* type:way", will correctly select buildings. The type:way is needed to insure that no relations or points are selected. It is not possible to just select an area with the mouse.
In the conflation dialog, there are three tabs, Matches which lists matches found between the reference and subject layer, and Reference only and Subject only which lists unmatched objects from each dataset.
- Double-click on a match or unmatched object to zoom and center on and to select the object(s).
- Select one or more match and click Conflate to execute Replace Geometry. Select one or more objects from the Reference only list to copy them to the subject layer.
Note that you can also use the same selection for both target and source; the algorithm assigns a very high cost if both objects are the same, so a match should never occur with the same object as both target and source.
- Reuses existing search and selection functionality for creating reference and subject selections
- Uses Java Conflation Suite (JCS) and Java Topology Suite (JTS) for calculating scores between reference and subject objects, and generating the matches
- Use Replace Geometry from utilsplugin2 to conflate the objects
This is an incomplete and unordered list of tasks that I've thought of. If these or any others would be useful to you, please create a ticket for them.
- Allow for merging of just tags, and not geometry
- Add costs for "distance" between tags, e.g. by using Levenshtein distance (already implemented in JOSM core)
- Add thresholds and weights to individual costs (e.g. don't allow match if distance is greater than 100m)
- Allow clicking on arrow in conflation layer to select candidate match
- Allow declaring an invalid match, and using that information to regenerate the matches
- Add keyboard shortcuts to quickly go through matches, with keys for next, previous, merge, "mismatch", etc.
- Use color coding in arrows and table to indicate confidence of match
- Allow for custom cost and assignment methods

Evaluating reeds
Photo, chelseagirl
There are three things to consider when evaluating a reed. I consider these same factors for either single or double reeds, and prioritize them in this order.
 1. Response. The overriding concern for me is that the reed responds exactly as I expect it to. A reed that is stiff, sluggish, stuffy, or otherwise unresponsive isn't a good reed (at least in its current state), even if it "has a good sound" or whatever. Many reed players, I believe, are consistently using reeds that are overly stiff, often in the name of "good" tone.
 2. Stability. This is the flip side of the coin from response; a reed that is too responsive is uncontrollable. (Think of the gas pedal and brake in a car: unresponsive pedals make the car feel lethargic, but overly responsive ones make for a jerky ride.) With an unstable reed, it's hard to play in tune, hard to control dynamics, and hard to keep the tone consistent.
 3. Tone. Once I've selected a reed that has the right balance between response and stability, I evaluate the reed's contribution to tone quality. Remember that the reed is only one of many factors that affect tone, and that tone is relatively easy to manipulate if the reed is responsive and stable. Resist the temptation to rank your reeds based on their tone alone.
2 thoughts on "Evaluating reeds
 1. Great introduction Bret!
 Is this true for singe reeds as well as double? To what extent does the instrument come into play?
 I was very happily surprized when, in January I got the chance to try some really old and new Lorée, Howarth and other oboes, that my 1985 Lorée is part of a (Thank God) lost generation. For us, "instability" means this: as you crescendo/diminuendo some specific notes, they will "wobble" sharp and/or flat… these notes "wolf" like a cello bow that you have just cleaned off the rosin with alcohol.
 For these instruments, reeds are usually better short (danger of playing sharp) and with specific crow characteristics that just can't be explained in text. But back in the days, it was taken for granted that playing the oboe was synonymous with fighting the instrument for proper tuning and equal projection on all the notes.
 I was very happily surprized that Lorées after the year 2000 (the newer, the better) almost don't do this at all – and Marigaux has always maintained the reputation of sounding great with any reed.
 1. Yes, I use these same criteria for both single and double reeds.
 And I always evaluate a reed in terms of the instrument/mouthpiece that I intend to use it on. This is why I have difficulty with the concept of, for example, buying double reeds from a reedmaker through a website or catalog—the reeds might be "good" in some abstract sense, but it's not good to me unless it's good on my instrument.

Nor'west arch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Nor'west arch, as visible from Christchurch, shows a blue belt of clear sky to the west from which high white cloud streams.
The Nor'west arch is a weather pattern peculiar to the east coast of New Zealand's South Island. For this reason, it is also often referred to as the Canterbury arch, although it is visible in both Otago and Marlborough as well as in the Canterbury Region. It is shown in an apparent arch of high white cloud in an otherwise clear blue sky over the Southern Alps, and is accompanied by a strong hot northwesterly or northerly wind simply known as The Nor'wester. Closer to the Canterbury coast, some distance from the mountains of the Southern Alps, it appears as a clear area of blue above the mountains, with white cloud streaming to the east from it. The phenomenon is similar to the Chinook arch seen in the Pacific regions of the United States and Canada.
How Nor'west arches occur[edit]
Typical shot of a Canterbury, New Zealand nor'west arch during sunset
The northwesterly wind in the South Island is a foehn wind. Warm moist air from over the Tasman Sea is pushed up by the presence of the Southern Alps, causing it to cool rapidly. The area to the east of the divide is in the rain shadow of the Alps; much of the moisture is dumped on the West Coast, and is responsible for the temperate rainforests found there. As the air passes over the alps, the water vapour remaining becomes visible in a band of cloud over the mountains at the top of each wave of air. From the perspective of a viewer on the eastern side, this appears as an 'arch' of cloud. The standing wave or arch is caused by the moisture condensing and becoming visible towards the top of the wave and then evaporating again as the air descends to the trough of the wave.
The Nor'west arch can be seen as far north as Amberley and as far south as Central Otago, but it is at its most prominent on the Canterbury Plains, due to the flat and low-lying nature of the land to the east of the mountains.
The Nor'wester can blow at any time of year, but is less common in winter. Many of the strongest northerly and northwesterly winds blow ahead of cold fronts. A front lying across the South Island will often extend from northwest to southeast, reaching northern parts of the West Coast before it reaches corresponding areas on the east coast. The steep air pressure gradient ahead of the cyclonic system associated with a front gives these nor'westers their strength; they will commonly reach gale force and cause isolated damage to trees and buildings.[1] Once every few years, a nor'wester will approach hurricane strength and cause widespread damage.
Nor'westers caused by cold fronts will often change within a day or two to a cool southerly wind accompanied by rain showers, as the front passes through. In mid-winter, a Nor'wester is often followed by a brief but intense cold snap, frequently bringing thunder, hail, or snow which may settle to sea level.
The heat and lack of moisture characteristic of nor'westers play a major role in the intermittent droughts experienced by Canterbury and other regions on New Zealand's eastern coasts.
The Nor'wester has a deep psychological effect on many people subjected to its hot, dry nature. It has been statistically linked to increases in suicide and domestic violence.[3]

Identifiers are used as an internal way of referring to a question in the site. They are most commonly added to questions when you require the use of Advanced Expression Piping (AEP) within your form. They are short, one word, values made up of letters and numbers.
- How to Add an Identifier
- How does the Identifier Appear within the Site
- Reasons you may require an Identifier
In order to add an Identifier to a question:
- Access the Form Builder of the form you are looking to edit.
- Click on the Question you wish to add the identifier to.
- On the left of the screen under the question type dropdown is the Identifier. If you have no value currently as an identifier the value will say None.
- Click on the word None, or if there is a value there click on the current value to be given a text box.
- Enter the Identifier you wish to give to the question.
- Save the form.
- Once the Identifier has been added you will notice it will appear as small, text above the question.
NOTE: Question identifiers are case sensitive, must begin with a letter, and may only contain letters, numbers, and underscores.
TIP! To ensure that you can easily identify the question later, make sure the identifier is related to the question. For example if you have a question that asks for the "Home Address" of your applicant an identifier you may use would be home_address or homeaddress. For longer questions it is still important to keep the identifier short, therefore for longer questions, such as "Name your top 3 favourite colours" your identifier may be favouritecolours or threecolours for example.
When the identifier is added to the question this is how it will be identified internally throughout the site, it will replace the original question which is why it is important that it is related to the question so you can easily identify it later. It will be displayed in the following sections:
- In the Piping Wizard of an Applicant form or a Reviewer form
- When adding a column within a report
- Within all Filters
NOTE: The identifier will not be displayed to any of your end users when they are filling out their forms
Below is a list of reasons for adding an identifier to a question:
- Add an AEP formula to your form
- Use the Piping Wizard within an Applicant Form
- Use the Piping Wizard within a Reviewer Form
- Easily identify long questions
- Easily identify questions that appear more than once in your site
- Easily identify questions that don't have a title

Where can you go to see whales?
During their northern migration, most whales come within 3 km of the NSW coast of Australia. Headlands and lookouts in national parks can be the perfect place to see them. Below are links to some of the popular national parks along the New South Wales coastline where you might see whales.
(the links open a new window on the NPWS website):

2. Bundjalung National Park (Iluka Bluff)
3. Yuraygir National Park (Angourie Point)
4. Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve

12. NSW Jervis Bay National Park
13. Eurobodalla National Park (Moruya Head)
14. Ben Boyd National Park (Red Point)
Late morning and early afternoon are reasonably good times of the day to whale watch from most vantage points, as the glare off the water doesn't make sighting the tell-tale "blow" too difficult to see. Early morning can also be a good time as the "blow" is often highlighted by the backlight of the morning sun.
Keeping your distance
Vessel-based whale watching is popular in NSW. Unlike Hervey Bay in Queensland, where whales are resting with new-born calves, most humpback whales in NSW waters are actively migrating. Any disturbance by vessels has the potential to affect these animals.
Whales require 'personal space', and harassment may severely stress them – possibly causing accidents both for humans and whales if the whales feel threatened. This is especially important in the case of the adults with calves, which may be either resting or suckling. Research has shown that whales are highly sensitive to engine noises. You should also be aware that during the mating season, males competing for females may engage in rough physical contact.
Whales are protected animals, and if you go out on the water, you should follow the regulations below. They've been designed to make whale watching enjoyable and safe, without interference to the whales.
- Abandon all contact with whales at any sign that they are disturbed or alarmed.
- Do not separate or scatter a group of whales.
- Do not attempt to feed whales or throw rubbish into the water.
- Avoid loud disturbing noises near whales.
- Observe general boating and aircraft regulations and restrictions
Swimmers and divers
It is recommended that swimmers and divers do not enter the water near whales because of the possibility of being injured. However if you are in the water and a whale approaches, do not go closer than 30 m.
Powered and unpowered vessels
- Do not approach whales closer than 100 m.
- Within 300 metres of a whale move at a constant slow speed, no faster than the slowest whale or at idle, "no wake" speed.
- Approach whales from a direction parallel and slightly to the rear of the animal.
- Avoid sudden or repeated changes in speed or direction.
- When stopping to watch whales, either place your engines in neutral or allow the motor to idle for short period of one minute before switching off.
- No more than three vessels should attempt to watch a whale or pod of whales at one time.
- When attempting to watch whales, do not "box" the whales in, cut off their path or prevent them from leaving, particularly when more than one vessel is present.
- Do not attempt to approach mothers with young calves, closer than 300 m. When leaving the whales, move off slowly at idle "no wake" speed until at least 300 m away from the closest whale, before picking up speed.

Do not operate any aircraft, including ultralights and hang gliders, less than 300 m (1,000 ft) above or near a whale. The use of helicopters is restricted to 400 m and should be avoided: they can cause distress to whales because of the loud noise and down-draft.

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

Cane Corsos are strong, intelligent dogs with a long history of serving as watchdogs and guards. These dogs may be a wonderful addition to any household because of their strength, devotion, and strong protectiveness. It's crucial to keep in mind, though, that Cane Corsos are big and active dogs. They want continuous training, socialisation, and leadership from their owners.
Training and socialisation are two important factors to take into account while analysing Cane Corso behaviour. To avoid behavioural problems and to ensure that these dogs are well-behaved and well-mannered, it is essential that they are properly trained and socialised from a young age. Utilizing positive reinforcement tactics, like as cookies and praise, it is crucial to begin training and socialisation as soon as feasible. This will teach your Cane Corso to obey your directions and behave politely among other people.
Establishing oneself as the leader is equally as crucial as training and socialisation. Cane Corsos are clever, independent dogs who require regular, clear direction in order to succeed. You can assist prevent your Cane Corso from being dominating or violent and make sure they are well-behaved and obedient to your directions by establishing yourself as the leader.
Behavior Training Your Cane Corso
Exercise and mental stimulation are essential factors in Cane Corso behaviour. These lively dogs require at least an hour of strenuous exercise each day to maintain their happiness and health. Additionally, they require mental stimulation, which may be given to them by giving them interactive toys and puzzles or by teaching them new instructions and tricks.
It's also critical to be aware of any health conditions that can have an impact on your Cane Corso's behaviour. For instance, pain and discomfort brought on by medical illnesses can result in behavioural problems like anger or disobedience. You can help prevent behavioural difficulties and keep your Cane Corso happy and healthy by keeping up with their medical care and taking care of any health issues right away.
Tips for Behaviour Training
- Start early with training: Cane Corsos are extremely trainable and clever dogs. However, they can also be stubborn and need consistent training to keep them from becoming challenging to handle. As soon as you can, begin educating your Cane Corso to develop positive behaviours and prepare them for success.
- Utilise positive reinforcement strategies: Cane Corsos respond best to strategies that emphasise and reward positive behaviour. When training your Cane Corso, avoid employing punishment or intimidation. These methods are ineffective and could instil fear and mistrust in your dog.
- Create boundaries and regulations that are clear: Set clear boundaries and rules for your Cane Corso! Also, be consistent in enforcing them. Your Cane Corso will be better able to grasp what is expected of them as a result, and they will be more inclined to obey your directions.
- Use treats and incentives: Treats and incentives can be a powerful tool for encouraging and reinforcing positive behaviour in your Cane Corso. During training sessions, offer high-value goodies that your Cane Corso enjoys to reinforce positive behaviour.
- Be patient; Cane Corso training can be timeand patience-consuming. Keep practising and rewarding positive behaviour, and your Cane Corso will eventually pick up a new command. Don't be disappointed if your Cane Corso doesn't learn it right away.
- If necessary, get expert assistance: If you are having difficulty teaching your Cane Corso or are unsure about where to begin, think about hiring a qualified dog trainer. A trainer may give you advice and assistance while also assisting you in identifying any training obstacles.
Being a good pet owner means training your Cane Corso since it helps to guarantee that your dog is well-behaved and polite. It can also assist to enhance the link between you and your dog. Cane Corsos are strong-willed, intelligent dogs who require constant, positive training to thrive. It's crucial to begin socialisation and training as soon as possible. When training your Cane Corso, keep the following things in mind:
- Be dependable: When it comes to teaching your Cane Corso, consistency is essential. Use consistent directives and signals, and set clear expectations that are both firm and fair.
- Establish yourself as the leader: Since Cane Corsos require persistent, clear leadership in order to flourish. You can assist prevent your Cane Corso from being dominating or violent and make sure they are well-behaved and obedient to your directions by establishing yourself as the leader.
- Use training aids: You can teach your Cane Corso new tricks and commands. Just take help of one of the many training aids that are available! Treats, toys, and training collars are some examples of these.
You can assist ensure that your Cane Corso is well-behaved and well-mannered and that you and your dog have a solid and good relationship by adhering to some fundamental training recommendations. Keep in mind that teaching your Cane Corso is a continuous process that calls for tolerance, reliability, and positive reinforcement. You can train and socialise your Cane Corso to fit in with your family by taking the appropriate approach.
Here are a number of tips on what to avoid doing when managing the behaviour of a Cane Corso dog:
- Avoid punishing your dog physically or acting aggressively; doing so might increase their fear and mistrust while also worsening their behaviour. Use tactics for positive reinforcement instead, such as clicker training, praise, and treats.
- Don't ignore your Cane Corso's demand for exercise; they need a lot of it to keep fit and well-behaved. Cane Corsos are huge, active dogs. Regular strolls and recreation can aid in reducing aggressive and disruptive behaviour.
- A Cane Corso should not be left alone for extended periods of time because they thrive on human company and may develop destructive or violent tendencies.
- The Cane Corso is a strong-willed dog, and if they think that you are not a strong leader, they may try to take control. Don't let them be the Alpha. Maintain a routine of training and be firm with your orders and demands.
- Avoid overfeeding Cane Corsos since they are prone to obesity and because it can cause behavioural and health concerns, effecting their behaviour and training.

The Southfury River is likely Kalimdor's most prominent river. Beginning as a small stream in the highlands surrounding Mount Hyjal, it grows into a wide, swift-flowing river that forms the boundary between Ashenvale[95, 48] Forest and Azshara, and further south, the border between the Northern Barrens and Durotar, where nasty creatures known as crocolisks patrol the waters. The river empties into the Great Sea in a cascading waterfall just northeast of the goblin port town of Ratchet.
There are two bridges that span the Southfury River: one leading into the capital city, Orgrimmar, in the north and one that crosses from Durotar into the Northern Barrens more to the south.
In the Cataclysm, the river floods the southwestern part of Durotar. A goblin with a riverboat, Horton Hornblower, can also be found where the river empties near Ratchet.

- It should not be placed under strong sunlight or placed at much dry place, that would prevent split and deformation.
- If it has a crack, it would be embedded by mixing up with putty and pigment to keep it as the new one. But it should be noticed that the putty and pigment needed to be the same colour to prevent leaving a scar imprinted.
- Burn marks: If there is burning on the cabinets, leaving a burning mark, it would be taken away by using the cotton to wipe the marks and coating with some wax.
- Iron marks: If leaving some white ironing marks immodestly, it would be wiped by cotton with some alcohol, floral water, kerosene or strong tea.
- Water stain marks: Using wet cotton to cover on the water stain marks, and then using the electric iron to press for many times carefully, it would be disappeared.
- Scratch: If there is a scratch on the cabinet, paint untouched the wood inside, it can be used with the same colour as crayon or paint, smear on the cabinet, to cover the exposed background, and then coated with a thin transparent layer of nail polish.
- Before dusting the cabinet, it should be stacked on some detergent. Don't use the dry cotton to wipe, prevent the scratch. Bathroom cabinets should be used by artificial humidifying in the dry environment.
- Wax regularly: every 6-12 months, using paste wax on the cabinets. Before waxing, it should erase the old wax by the warm non-alkaline soap water.
- Repairment of scratches and dent: the simple method is to use a cotton or brush to coat the similar colour of shoe polish.
- Removing the watermark: Using a clean blotting paper on the watermark, heat the electric iron on it, or using the salad oil, toothpaste to wipe, and then wipe up and wax.

The project was conducted from 1992 to 1997, while a book titled "Seeing Beyond Sight" chronicles the experience of 36 students ages 12 to 19. The students learned how to point and shoot, and they were also taught to use a camera to recreate dreams and to express personal vision. They used autofocus cameras, which allowed them to use sound and touch as a way to compose their images. The book features roughly 150 images from the Sound Shadows program, along with captions from the student photographers.

A Bloody Mary is a popular cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and usually other spices or flavorings such as Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, beef consommé or bouillon, horseradish, celery, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and celery salt.
Preparation and serving
A Bloody Mary, as well as the non-alcoholic Virgin Mary, is commonly served in the morning (as are mimosas and screwdrivers).
While there is not much complexity in mixing vodka and tomato juice, more elaborate versions of the drink have become trademarks of the bartenders who make them. A common garnish is a celery stalk when served in a tall glass, often over ice. A beer chaser may also be served with the Bloody Mary, although this varies from region to region.
Bloody Mary recipe courtesy of the New York School of Bartending:
- 1 oz. to 1 1/2 oz.vodka in a Highball glass filled with ice.
- Fill glass with tomato juice
- 1 dash celery salt
- 1 dash ground black pepper
- 1 dash Tabasco
- 2-4 dashes of Lea & Perrin's Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 tsp. horseradish (pure, never creamed)
- Dash of lemon or lime juice
Garnish with celery stalk.
May be shaken vigorously or stirred lazily, as desired. Garnish with a celery stalk; a skewer of olives, pickles, carrots, mushrooms, or other vegetables; or even meat or fish (salami, shrimp, etc.) and cheese (see photos). Occasionally, pickled asparagus spears or pickled beans are also used.
Prepackaged Bloody Mary mixes that combine the spicy, non-alcoholic components of a Bloody Mary are commercially available.

Armor Stand
Materials Workshops Labors
Armor stands are a type of furniture. Much like the weapon rack, the armor stand can be used to create a barracks. After being built (b-a), you may define the barracks dimensions (b-a, then +-). It can also be placed in a noble's room to appease them.
When used in a barracks designated for individual and squad equipment, dwarves will prefer to store their armor on stands instead of stockpiles. Doing so in concert with weapon racks will allow you to create centralized armories for your military.
Armor stands do not block dwarf movement.
Stockpile storage always takes priority over furniture, making armor stands all but useless for their practical purpose.

Why is nest protect so expensive?
There is a reason that a nest protect is more expensive. Is this true? This is due to the different types of sensors that the Nest Protect uses. Besides the carbon monoxide, heat, humidity, and occupancy sensors, it also houses a split-spectrum photoelectric sensor to detect a fire.

Thermoplastic Concrete Casting
Thermoplastic Concrete Casting explores formwork making and concrete casting with thermoplastic textile. Casting in concrete typically requires extensive formwork that takes time, material, and a tremendous amount of labor to produce. This novel way of creating formwork for casting eliminates heavy rigid molds and scaffoldings for support. Instead, using sartorial techniques borrowed from tailoring and patterning in clothing production, pliable non-woven thermoplastic textile is cut and felted together (a process of needle punching), and then heat-stiffened to rigid form, ready for glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) casting. The project explores the relationship between form, material behavior, and performance of both non-woven thermoplastics as formwork with complex geometries and concrete casting to create thin-shell, materially efficient structures.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Eye injuries among female lacrosse players dropped dramatically after US Lacrosse, the governing board for the sport, required protective eyewear in 2004, according to a new study.
"I am impressed, but not surprised," said Dr. Stuart Dankner, a pediatric ophthalmologist who sits on the eye safety committee of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Dankner, who was not involved in the new study, said that eye protection has reduced injuries in hockey, baseball and other sports.
"It's just a shame that it took so long" to become mandated for women's lacrosse, he added.
Men's lacrosse, which is considered a collision sport, introduced eye gear before the women's game, which is a non-contact sport.
Dankner told Reuters Health that he has treated cases of severe eye injury among girls who played lacrosse, either from getting smacked with the stick, colliding with another player, or getting hit with the ball.
In 2005, after urgings from the American Academy of Ophthalmology and other groups, US Lacrosse required that girls and women wear eye protection.
The new study, funded by US Lacrosse, tracked eye injuries among 25 high school girls lacrosse teams for four years before the mandate and six years after the mandate.
From 2000 to 2003, there were 22 eye injuries, and from 2004 to 2009 there were just five. That corresponds to one injury per player per 10,000 practices and games versus 1.6 per 100,000.
Four of the five injuries that occurred after the eyewear requirement happened while the girls were not wearing the protective gear. The fifth injury involved eye inflammation.
"As long as the athletes are wearing (the eyewear), it seems to be doing what we hope it would," said lead author Andrew Lincoln, the director of sports medicine research at MedStar Health Research Institute in Baltimore.
Other injuries to the face and head also went down, from 33 before the mandate to 21 after.
"We were very pleased to see that," Lincoln told Reuters Health. "There was concern there would be more aggressive play and more injuries (because of the protective gear), and that turned out not to be the case."
Concussions, however, increased, from 38 before the mandate to 86 after.
Lincoln said he doesn't think that's because of rougher play, but rather because of a greater awareness across all sports of the symptoms of concussion.
"The comparison periods that we're looking at coincide with this dramatic increase in the recognition of the signs and symptoms of concussion," he said.
Dr. Ferenc Kuhn, a professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham who also sits on the Academy's Eye Safety Committee, agreed that protective eyewear is unlikely to increase the risk of concussion.
"I have never encountered or heard of behaviour change in athletes or in the general population just because one part of the body has a reduced risk of injury due to protection," Kuhn wrote in an email to Reuters Health.
He added that the style of the eye gear should not obscure players' vision, causing them to make errors.
Dankner said he'd like to see women's lacrosse also require players to wear helmets.

Force-Sensing Linear Potentiometer: 1.4″×0.4″ Strip
This force-sensing linear potentiometer (FSLP) from Interlink Electronics is a passive component with resistances that depend on the magnitude and location of the force applied at some point along the 1.4″ (3.6 cm) active length of the strip, making it easy to add novel touch interfaces or tactile sensors to your project. An external resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ) is required but not included.
This force-sensing linear potentiometer (FSLP) from Interlink Electronics is a passive component with internal resistances that independently change in response to the location and magnitude of an applied force. This allows a microcontroller with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), such as an Arduino or A-Star, to easily determine where and how hard the strip is being pressed, enabling advanced touch-control user interfaces (like menu navigation) or sophisticated tactile sensors. The FSLP is effectively a force-sensing resistor (FSR) that can also simultaneously sense position. The video above shows a sample project with the similar 4″ FSLP strip being used to control an LED strip: position determines the number of lit LEDs and pressure determines the LED color. This shorter 1.4″ FSLP strip could easily be substituted for the one in the video. The Arduino code used in the example is available on github, and it has functions for reading pressure and position that could be helpful in getting started using this sensor. More information about the demo is available in our FSLP blog post.
The 1.5″ × 0.53″ strip is light (0.5 g) and extremely thin (0.025″), with an active sensing area of 1.4″ × 0.39″ and a flexible 0.55″ × 0.2″ sensor tail for accessing its three terminals (the fourth terminal is not used). It does not appreciably compress when pressure is applied, and while it is flexible, it is intended to be used on smooth, flat surfaces since bending can adversely affect its performance. The FSLP has a masked adhesive backing for easy mounting.
Note: The sensor's tail does not include a connector, and soldering directly to the exposed copper pads is probably not practical for most applications given its relatively fine 1 mm pitch. We do not carry any connectors that work with this sensor, but JST makes a line of compatible 1.0 mm pitch FCC (flat flexible) connectors. Section 4.4 of the FSLP integration guide describes the sensor tail in detail.
For a similar FSLP that includes a solderable connector, see our 4″ FSLP strip. It is possible to cut the 4″ FSLP strip to shorter lengths, such as 1″, which would give it a similar size to this 1.4″ version.
Note that this FSLP is not a load cell or strain gauge, and it is not suitable for precision force or pressure measurements. While it can be used for high-resolution dynamic measurements, only qualitative force readings are generally attainable.
Using the sensor
The FSLP is a three-terminal device (the fourth terminal of the sensor tail is not used), and when pressure is applied, its internal circuit is equivalent to three resistors. Reading the magnitude of the pressure requires an external resistor be added to the circuit, so a total of four microcontroller lines are required, two of which must be capable of reading analog voltages. Detailed information about this FSLP, including theory of operation, dimensions, and measurement procedures, is available in the FSLP integration guide (513k pdf). The rest of this section briefly summarizes some of the key points of the measurement procedures listed in the integration guide.
Measuring pressure
The resistance Rp depends directly on the magnitude of the applied pressure, changing from around 300 kΩ at very light touches to around 1 kΩ when pressing very hard. If the pin connected to D1 is driven high and pin connected to the bottom of resistor Ro is driven low, the SL pin becomes the output of a resistive voltage divider with Rp on top and the external resistor Ro on the bottom. Measuring the voltage at terminal D2 gives the input voltage to this pressure-dependent voltage divider and allows the pressure measurement to be made independent of R1 and R2, which change depending on where the strip is being touched. Once you have measured the voltage divider input (D2 voltage) and output (SL voltage), you have everything you need to compute Rp, which is directly related to the pressure.
The optimal value for Ro depends on the specific application, but a value between 4.7 kΩ and 10 kΩ should work fine for most projects.
Note that when no pressure is applied to the strip, Rp should be many megaohms and the voltage at SL will be pulled almost completely to zero through Ro. You can use this to determine when the strip is not being touched.
Measuring position
The strip also functions as a linear potentiometer, with the applied pressure (e.g. your finger) acting as the wiper. As the point of applied pressure moves from one side of the strip to the other, R1 will get smaller and R2 will get bigger, or vice versa (the sum of R1 and R2 is typically around 10 kΩ). If the pin connected to D1 is driven high and the pin connected to D2 is driven low, the SL pin becomes the output of this linear potentiometer (the pin connected to the bottom of Ro should be set as a high-impedance input to effectively remove Ro from the circuit). The voltage on the SL pin should range from 0 to Vcc (logic low to logic high) as the pressure application point moves from one extreme to the other.
Note that when no pressure is applied to the strip, the SL pin is essentially floating and will provide no meaningful position measurement. As described in the previous section, you can use the pressure reading to determine when the strip is not being touched so that you know when to ignore the position measurement.
This sensor has high-impedance outputs, which can be difficult to accurately measure using a microcontroller's ADC. The full measurement procedures in section 5 of the FSLP integration guide (513k pdf) have some helpful techniques for reducing noise and improving accuracy. FSLP/FSR versions
Interlink refers to this product as their standard FSLP. We also carry their longer 10 cm (4″×0.4″) FSLP, which can be optionally be shortened to lengths of 1″, 2″, or 3″.

If the position of the force is not important for your application, we carry six versions of force-sensing resistors (FSRs) that can be used to measure the amount of applied force but not its location:

Evidence for compromised metabolic function and limited glucose uptake in spermatazoa form the teratospermic domestic cat (Felis catus) and cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)Scientific Papers
Cheetahs and certain other felids consistently ejaculate high proportions (≥ 60%) of malformed spermatozoa, a condition known as teratospermia, which is prevalent in humans. Even seemingly normal spermatozoa from domestic cat teratospermic ejaculates have reduced fertilizing capacity. To understand the role of sperm metabolism in this phenomenon, we conducted a comparative study in the normospermic domestic cat versus the teratospermic cat and cheetah with the general hypothesis that sperm metabolic function is impaired in males producing predominantly pleiomorphic spermatozoa. Washed ejaculates were incubated in chemically defined medium containing glucose and pyruvate. Uptake of glucose and pyruvate and production of lactate were assessed using enzyme-linked fluorescence assays. Spermatozoa from domestic cats and cheetahs exhibited similar metabolic profiles, with minimal glucose metabolism and approximately equimolar rates of pyruvate uptake and lactate production. Compared to normospermic counterparts, pyruvate and lactate metabolism were reduced in teratospermic cat and cheetah ejaculates, even when controlling for sperm motility. Rates of pyruvate and lactate (but not glucose) metabolism were correlated positively with sperm motility, acrosomal integrity, and normal morphology. Collectively, our findings reveal that pyruvate uptake and lactate production are reliable, quantitative indicators of sperm quality in these two felid species and that metabolic function is impaired in teratospermic ejaculates. Furthermore, patterns of substrate utilization are conserved between these species, including the unexpected lack of exogenous glucose metabolism. Because glycolysis is required to support sperm motility and capacitation in certain other mammals (including dogs), the activity of this pathway in felid spermatozoa is a target for future investigation.

Effects of the Mono Winds
August 30, 2012
Tioga Road near Mono Pass Trailhead
Dramatic evidence of the regional phenomenon known as the Mono Winds can be seen just off the Tioga road near the Mono Pass Trailhead. Numerous trees are down in this area, having been blown down last winter. When a high pressure system is over the Great Basin, the clockwise movement of air pushes up and over the Sierra and picks up speed as it rushes down the western slopes. The rugged topography funnels some of that air, further increasing the speed and intensifying localized effects. The Mono Winds can easily reach 50 mph and in extreme cases exceed 100 mph. It is likely that the wind that knocked these trees down was funneled by the Tioga pass and continued down the Tioga road. Most of the downed trees are near the road and lying parallel with the road. The weather patterns that cause the Mono Winds occur from October to April but are most common in December and January.


text: Alkali-aggregate reactivity (AAR) is one of the major causes of damage in concrete. Potential susceptibility of aggregates to this reaction can be determined using several methods. This study compares gravel alkali reactivity results obtained from different tests conducted on coarse aggregates with complex petrography. The potential for the reactivity in the aggregates was revealed in the chemical test using treatment with sodium hydroxide. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to identify the reactive constituents. The expansion measured in the mortar bars test confirmed that the aggregate was potentially capable of alkali silica reactivity with consequent deleterious effect on concrete.

|Islam in Panama|
There are 24,000 Muslims in Panama or 0.7% of the population. The first Muslims came to Panama as slaves from Africa brought by the Spaniards, to work the gold mines in 1552. |
A group of Muslim Mandinka slaves numbering 500 escaped from a sinking ship and maintained their independence. They elected Bayano as leader and he led them in their fight against the colonialists. They were steadfast on Islam and built mosques. Bayano made covenants with the Governor of Panama to live in peace but the Spaniards eventually crushed them. Bayano was captured. The river Bayano is named after this Muslim leader.
The second wave of Muslims came from 1904. Muslims from Lebanon and India came and married local women. The formed an organization and built a place of worship in Panama City. Muslims of West Indian descent from Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados also settled in Panama. In 1963 a Muslim cemetery was bought.
The first official mosque was inaugurated in 1982. There are 10 mosques in the country presently. Islam enjoys a prominent place in Panama society. The vast majority of Muslims are of Lebanese, Palestinian and Indian descent. In Colon, Muslims and Jews form the majority of the traders. There are several Muslim organizations in Panama.

A neutral grievance procedure allows a member of the union to file a grievance if any part of the contract is not being enforced. The grievance procedure would ensure a fair process for PARs to have their grievance heard and addressed by the University in a timely manner. If the grievance is not resolved, a PAR would have the ability to go to arbitration, in which a neutral third party would resolve the dispute. A fair grievance procedure will make our contract stronger and more enforceable, e.g. by providing PARs with stronger recourse against discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying. At UConn, for example, graduate assistants have used their grievance process to successfully resolve instances of harassment.
