Introduction: Refurnish Faded Calculator's LCD Display
The LCD display of an old calculator becomes faded and hardly to read in low light condition. The reflector behind the LCD turned dark due to aging.
Here are some simple steps to refurnished it, at least to an usable condition.
Step 1: Tools Needed
1. A sharp knife
2. Screw driver
3. Double side tape
4. Silver of white spray paint
5. A hot air blower
6. Some scrap papers
Step 2: Remove the Cover
Remove the screws with a screw driver, remove the back cover.
Remove the battery if required.
Step 3: Remove the Metal Protector of the LCD Screen
Set the blower to 180 degree Celsius, point and blow toward metal protector until the glue underneath is melted.
Important: In order to avoid the flexible cable of the LCD display melted and shrink, remember mask it with a piece of paper while blowing.
Once the glue is melted, the metal protector can easily be lifted by the screw driver or knife.
Caution: Beware of the hot surface, ESD protection may needed.
Step 4: Remove the Old Reflector
Lift the corner of the reflector by using a sharp knife then carefully peel it off by hand.
Clean the surface to ensure there is no residue of glue, make sure it is free from dust and grease too.
Step 5: Spray on the LCD
Mask out the entire calculator with a piece of paper, only expose the LCD.
Spray on the LCD, and let it dry.
Step 6: Reassembly
Apply the double side tape on the metal protector, reassembly the LCD and calculator.
Finally done, the LCD is become brighter and clearer :-)

ISIS/Base is the successor of the DOS program ChemBase. ISIS/Base is a Methuselah of a program. The first version was developed in1989. It needs constant effort by MDL because it serves a dual purpose. It is the client for ISIS/Host, and it is a stand-alone chemical database system for the PC or Macintosh.
I once calculated that MDL would have to charge 500'000 USD for ISIS/Base, if you compare it on functionality with what was sold in 1984. Today, the industrial price is around 1000 USD and 300 USD for academic users.
ISIS/Base was formed not by MDL programmers, but by MDL users. This is the reason that ISIS/Base is one of the best programs for single user who want to manage chemical structures, reactions and data on the PC.
Its main uses are:
Field Type Definition in ISIS/Base
Fixed Text Text of a specified number of alphanumeric characters. A fixed-text field can store any number of characters up to the maximum number specified in its definition. However, no fixed-text field can contain more than 80 characters. (For example, MDL-000001 is the maximum number of characters that can be entered for a fixed-text field that has been defined to have a 10 character length.)
Variable Text Alphanumeric text of an unlimited length (limited solely by computer memory).
Integer For PC and Macintosh systems, the value of an integer may range from -_PHONE_ to +_PHONE_.
Real A real number, such as 1.50. The decimal-place precision of the number varies with computer systems.
Range A range of real-number values, such as 2.0 - 3.5. The decimal-place precision of the number varies with computer systems.
Date The date format (such as day/month/year) specified in your windowing software configuration file(s).
Sketch An ISIS/Draw sketch.
Structure A molecule (including a 3D structure, reactant, or product). You can have multiple structure fields in your database, but each field must have a unique name.
Reaction A chemical reaction. You can have multiple reaction fields in your database, but each field must have a unique name.
Parent Parent fields do not store data. Instead, parent fields point to one or more fields that store related data. For this reason, the parent field name should be representative of the types of data that the lower-level fields will store. For example, is the parent field for journal and author. ISIS/Base displays parent field names in brackets to distinguish them from other fields.
The calculated field type only applies to remote databases and cannot be selected as a field type in a local database.
You need ISIS/Draw to draw structures. ISIS/Draw is free of charge for academic and private use. Instead of drawing structures you can download structures from many sources on the Internet, or convert them to Molfiles using the conversion programs ConSystant & Chemeleon provided with ISIS/Base.

How to Improve G10
G10 provides the ability to enter data into various registers within the control, including offset data and parameters. For CNC users, having the ability to enter data into offsets can play an important role in improving a machine's performance.
Columns From: 10/1/2012 Modern Machine Shop,
Editor's Commentary
From the monthly column CNC Tech Talk.
G10 has one severe limitation (at least on FANUC controls): It can only write data into registers; it cannot read from them. If a machine is equipped with custom macro B, it is possible to read data from offset registers using a series of system variables. However, system variables are difficult to work with because the numbering differs among FANUC control models and can even vary within one control model based on the offset option.
An easier way to read offset data with system variables is to create a user-defined G code. In order to leave the G10 function intact, we need to pick a different G-code number, say G110. The value 110 will be placed in the parameter for the first (of 10) available user-defined G codes. Look in the custom macro B section of your programming manual to find the parameter numbers for user-defined G codes. This parameter will correspond to a program number (like O9011). Once this parameter is properly set, whenever the control reads a G110, it will automatically execute the related program (we'll use O9011).
The calling command could look something like this: N050 G110 T1.0 R10.0 V101.0
G110 will make the control execute program O9011. The T argument will specify the type of data being read. For our example, T1.0 will be for tool offsets and T2.0 will be for fixture offsets. R will specify the offset register number (10, in our example). V will specify the common variable number into which the offset value will be placed. In this example, the value of offset number 10 will be placed in common variable #101. So V lets us specify the common variable into which we want the value stored, enabling easy access to multiple offset values with more G110 commands. And since common variables are retained until at least the M30 of the main program, this common variable will be available for whatever purpose we require after the G110 command has been executed.
Here is our first attempt at program O9011. It can only access tool offsets and is not even referencing the T argument (yet).
O9011 (Data reading custom macro)
(T:#20, R:#18, V:#22)
#[#22] = #[2000 +#18] (Place offset value into common variable)
We're assuming the system variables related to tool offsets are in the #2000 series, meaning the value of offset number 10 will be in #2010. The (only) command in this custom macro places the value of #2010 (again, offset 10) in common variable #101. If you have more than one machine, and if they use a different series of system variables to access tool offsets, you will need a different custom macro for each machine. The calling command will remain the same from machine to machine.
To gain additional access to fixture offsets, we will need to add more G110 arguments. We'll add X, Y and Z to correspond to the various fixture offset registers. This will enable us to specify which fixture offset registers will be read. Consider this new command: N050 G110 T2.0 R3.0 V101.0 X1.0 Y1.0
If included, X, Y and/or Z specify which registers we want to read. If any are left out, the corresponding register value will not be read. In our example, we want to read the X and Y register values of fixture offset number three. The X register value will be placed in common variable #101. Though it is not specified, the Y value will be placed in common variable #102 (one variable number higher that the variable number specified with V. If Z is included in the G110 command, it will be placed in variable #103 (two higher than the value of V).
Here is the completed custom macro program.
O9011 (Data reading custom macro)
(T:#20, R:#18, V:#22, X:#24, Y:#25, Z:#26)
IF [#20 EQ 1.0] GOTO 10 (Tool offset)
IF [#20 EQ 2.0] GOTO 20 (Fixture offset)
#3000 = 100 (BAD VALUE FOR T)
GOTO 99 (Exit)
N20 (Begin fixture offset access)
#33 = 0 (Initialize flag to missing input)
IF [#24 EQ #0] GOTO 22 (Test for X)
#[#22] = #[5201 + 20*#18] (Read X register)
#33 = 1.0 (Missing input flag is satisfied)
N22 IF[#25 EQ #0] GOTO 24 (Test for Y)
#[#22+1] = #[5202 + 20*#18] (Read Y register)
#33 = 1.0 (Missing input flag is satisfied)
N24 IF [#26 EQ #0] GOTO 26 (Test for Z)
#[#22+2] = #[5203 + 20*#18] (Read Z register)
#33 = 1.0 (Missing input flag is satisfied)
N26 IF[#33 EQ 1.0] GOTO 99 (Test if XYZ are not missing)
#3000 = 101 (MISSING X, Y, OR Z)
N99 M99
We're assuming that system variables range in the 5200 series for this machine. If your machines use a different set of variables, reference the custom macro section of your programming manual.
This technique enables your main program to remain consistent from machine to machine. If each machine has an appropriate O9011 program, a given G110 command will work the same on all machines. Once this program is verified for each machine, you won't have to rummage through programming manuals to find the appropriate system variables every time you need to read an offset value.

To safely use a flat iron on fine hair, use a steam-producing iron, such as Teflon-coated hot tool brands, and apply a heat protectant to hair before straightening. Use a lower heat setting and run the flat iron through the hair consistently, not stopping at any one section longer than another, and quickly. Only use a heated tool once or twice a week.Continue Reading
Do not style hair with a flat iron while it is still wet to avoid steam damage. Wet hair produces a boiling effect that boils the center of a hair shaft. This causes a break in the walls of the medulla and produces bubbles in the shaft that decreases shine. Hair becomes rough, dry and is more easily snapped off when it is styled while wet.
Using a flat iron daily causes frizzy hair of differing lengths because of hair breakage. Change the flat iron periodically when there is buildup on the plates or the surface of the plate becomes sticky. This buildup and stickiness is caused by burned hair cells and it causes more damage to hair if used for too long. The signs of heat damage include dull, dry hair that breaks easily, as well as damage to the scalp or hair follicle and reduced shine. If these are happening to one's hair, seek a professionals help to rehabilitate the strands.Learn more about Hairstyling Tools

Title: A comparative study of lethal temperatures in the limpets Acmaea scabra and Acmaea digitalis (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Prosobranchia)
Student Author(s): Hardin, Dane D.
Faculty Advisor(s): Epel, David
Location: Final Papers Biology 175H
Date: June 1966
Abstract: The lethal temperatures of two species of limpets which occupy the same intertidal levels were studied. It was found that A. scabra (with a critical range of 40-44 degrees Celsius) is better able to withstand high temperatures than is A. digitalis (with a critical range of 39-42C). Concurrent field studies showed that A. scabra experiences higher microhabitat and body temperatures than does A. digitalis at similar air temperatures. It was found that the limpets' body temperatures were 2-6 C higher than surrounding external temperatures. Intraspecific differences in temperature tolerence were also found, with the highest intertidal members of each species surviving better than the lowest members. Possible causes of intraspecific differences are acclimation or size of the animal.

text: Angular potentials play an important role in the refinement of protein structures through angle-dependent restraints (e.g., those determined by cross-correlated relaxations, residual dipolar couplings, and hydrogen bonds). Analytic derivatives of such angular potentials with respect to the dihedral angles of proteins would be useful for optimizing such restraints and other types of angular potentials (i.e., such as we are now introducing into protein structure prediction) but have not been described. In this article, analytic derivatives are calculated for four types of angular potentials and integrated with the efficient recursive derivative calculation methods of Gō and coworkers. The formulas are implemented in publicly available software and illustrated by refining a low-resolution protein structure with idealized vector-angle, dipolar-coupling, and hydrogen-bond restraints. The method is now being used routinely to optimize hydrogen-bonding potentials in ROSETTA.

Here's a quick summary about what I'm trying to do: Let's say I got two layers. One (A) with 10 polygons and one that is more granular with 100 polygons (B). Just to check if the behavior of PostGIS and ArcMap is the same, I would like to select all polygons in B that are under a polygon in A. Since the sum of all polygons of both layer got the same shape, all polygons of B should be selected. If I do that in ArcMap, everything works fine (100 of 100 polygons selected). If I use the following statement in PostGIS, some of the polygons are not in the resultset (about 10%):
SELECT layer_a.gid, layer_b.gid FROM layer_a, layer_b WHERE ST_Contains(layer_a.geom, layer_b.geom);
No I want to be more specific. Let's say I'd like to select all Polygons from B that are under a specific polygon from A with a polygon_id = 1. For this I use the following statement:
SELECT layer_a.gid, layer_b.gid FROM layer_a, layer_b WHERE ST_Contains(layer_a.geom, (SELECT layer_b.geom WHERE layer_by.polygon_id = '1');
But now, I get a empty resultset and I really don't know why. Could somebody explain me this behavior? Note: I just imported shape files without assigning a special SRID or something like this. I appreciate any help. :)

Looks like ST_Contains is the correct function. Two things come to mind that could cause the results you are getting. First, invalid geometries can silently cause all kinds of trouble. Run a query similar to the following on both of your tables:
SELECT gid AS invalid_gid
 FROM layer_a
 WHERE NOT St_IsValid(geom);
Second issue could be that the polygons do not actually have the topological properties that you think they do. Replace St_Contains with St_Intersects and that should help to inform you. Let me know what that yields.
Your second query appears to have typos, but should look more like this:
SELECT layer_a.gid, layer_b.gid
 FROM layer_a, layer_b
 WHERE layer_b.polygon_id = 1
 AND St_Contains(layer_a.geom, layer_b.geom)

Hey Scro, I tried it with your statement and rechecked the results from ArcMap and now its looks good. Seems that I had it wrong. I thought ST_Contains would do this job for me, but now it know, that ST_Contains only selects Polygons that are completly in/under the other polygon. And ST_Intersects selects all polygons that intersects with the bigger one. Looks good now. Thank you very much! :] – Chronnie Mar 14 '13 at 12:46

Love and Money argues that we can't understand contemporary queer cultures without looking through the lens of social class. Resisting old divisions between culture and economy, identity and privilege, left and queer, recognition and redistribution, Love and Money offers supple approaches to capturing class experience and class form in and around queerness.
Contrary to familiar dismissals, not every queer television or movie character is like Will Truman on Will and Grace—rich, white, healthy, professional, detached from politics, community, and sex. Through ethnographic encounters with readers and cultural producers and such texts as Boys Don't Cry, Brokeback Mountain, By Hook or By Crook, and wedding announcements in the New York Times, Love and Money sees both queerness and class across a range of idioms and practices in everyday life. How, it asks, do readers of Dorothy Allison's novels use her work to find a queer class voice? How do gender and race broker queer class fantasy? How do independent filmmakers cross back and forth between industry and queer sectors, changing both places as they go and challenging queer ideas about bad commerce and bad taste?
With an eye to the nuances and harms of class difference in queerness and a wish to use culture to forge queer and class affinities, Love and Money returns class and its politics to the study of queer life.
1. The Class Character of Boys Don't Cry
2. Queer Visibility and Social Class
3. Every Queer Thing We Know
4. Recognition: Queers, Class, and Dorothy Allison
5. Queer Relay
6. Plausible Optimism
Conclusion: A Cultural Politics of Love and Solidarity
"In Love and Money Henderson attempts to look at contemporary queer cultures through the lens of social class. Henderson is critical of the distorted ways in which American media represents queer cultures and identity and seeks to study the difference that social class makes on queer subjectivity and representation."-Rohit K. Dasgupta,Transnational Cinemas
"Henderson's affective approach to the case history yields rich accounts of the resourceful survival strategies through which queer films and novels get made despite limited means. Exemplifying the values of love and solidarity that she finds in her cases, her critical practice offers innovative approaches to thinking queer and class together and fresh answers to longstanding questions about what it means to make art in a market economy."-Ann Cvetkovich,University of Texas, Austin
Throughout, Henderson grounds queer cultural criticism in the liminal movements and moments of everyday life, treating this criticism as art and understanding criticism as inside of, and a contributor to, cultural production. She also formulates a new kind of classed-queerness, one characterized by softness and slowness, of people trying hard to live and survive as best as they can. Summing Up: Highly recommended."-CHOICE
"It may be that the book is, at its core, an unusually intimate excavation of media-cultural experience. This much is evident in the carefully crafted prose and the frequent self-reflexive passages in which the author's various roles—as researcher, critic, fan, and consumer, but also as queer and classed subject—are laid more bare than is customary. Henderson reveals herself as voracious observer, situation her half-dozen primary objects in a jam-packed mediascape, where no one-off episode or festival favorite is too far off the mainstream radar. This is commendable, and invigorating, while the field tends to compartmentalize mainstream and experimental film and media as nonconversant tracks. Love and Money is also, irrefutably, hopeful. This may also be a suit that many of us are unaccustomed to wearing, especially as regards class politics at the current historical juncture. But in these pages, it might pay to try. It is, at least, as Henderson herself concludes, 'a place to start.'"-Cynthia Crisis,International Journal of Communication
"Drawn along disciplinary lines of queer theory, feminist theory, and critical cultural studies, Love and Money contributes vital scholarly debates over the emancipatory potential of cultural recognition versus economic redistribution. As a scholar of communication, Henderson adds valuable complexity to this discussion, highlighting the ways in which queer visibility depends on a class - race reduction mediated through tropes of bodily excess, disenfranchisement, and trauma. Through timely and profound analysis she weaves together disparate experiences and expressions from a variety of queer cultural texts to present a language of queer-class engagement that articulates the categories of race and gender while working to recenter class as a vital frame through which to understand the production of sexual difference." -Meg Rooney,QED: A Journal in GLBTQ Worldmaking
"Love and Money is at once fiercely intellectual and full of heart, formidable and invitingly funny. In this series of essays, Lisa Henderson offers some of the sharpest, most imaginative analysis of queerness and social class out there, shaking up entrenched ideas about how the two are and should be related."-Joshua Gamson,University of San Francisco

Do you ever have trouble finding the right clothes during winter because you are confused by the warmth in your room? A lot of the times, even if you check the weather App on your phone, it is still hard to always dress in the most comfortable way. If let's say, there is a device that can accurately suggest you how to dress in the morning, many miss-dressed instances can be avoided. TechDesign stumbled over a neat design shared by an awesome fellow maker, Jullen Vanier, who invents an IoT weather clock that can accurately tell users what to wear on any given day.
The delicately designed clock looks just like a common home decoration on the wall, and just like its simple appearance, the components are also nothing complicated. The clock hand is moved by a servo motor and it will point to the suitable type of clothes that users should wear. The clock is simply powered by batteries. If you wonder what is the source of the clock's suggestion, then you need to know that all suggestions are made based on the data gathered by the Particle Photon at forecast.io. These data are the secret behind the clock's function. In order to demonstrate how the clock actually functions in reality, Vanier shared a short video:
(Via Julien Vanier on Youtube)
To give you a peek into other major components of the clock, we will start with the circuit board. Vanier chose a servo from the Particle Maker Kit, and the circuit board has three wires connect to it. Other components include a firmware that installs D0 as the servo pin and the cloud function that Vanier applies to control the position of the servo.
As for the antique-looking clock hand, Vanier derived the pattern from GitHub, and turned it into an actual clock hand through 3D printing. A little trick he did to let the clock hand fit the servo is that he left a notch in the 3D part. In order to beautify and secure the clock, Vanier got himself a shadow box to contain the clock. After a few steps of assembling the shadow box and the clock, the final product becomes the useful and practical technological product and home decoration.
In case you try to figure out how the software powers the clock, here is the secret. Vanier divides it into two parts: a Photon firmware that controls the clock hand, and a hook.io script that processes the data coming from forecast.io. In between the two parts, there is the Particle cloud that helps to connect the firmware with the script. To help you better understand the correlation between different parts of the software, Vanier created a graphic to visualize it:

Why this code doesn't work? I would like to return Bool if string is a number.
isNumber = do
 n <- getLine
 let val = case reads n of
 ((v,_):_) -> True
 _ -> False

If you have not read it yet, here's a link to a very good Haskell tutorial: – Cedric May 21 '11 at 19:55

Firstly, you have a syntax error:
 The last statement in a 'do' construct must be an expression:
 let val
 = case reads n of {
 ((v, _) : _) -> True
 _ -> False }
Because your function doesn't return a value yet. Fixing that:
isNumber = do
 n <- getLine
 let val = case reads n of
 ((v,_):_) -> True
 _ -> False
 return val
Now it is syntactically correct, but it has a type error:
 Ambiguous type variable 'a0' in the constraint:
 (Read a0) arising from a use of 'reads'
Why? Because read is overloaded. So the compiler doesn't know what you're trying to read. In this case, you're trying to read a number. Let's say, an Integer:
isNumber :: IO Bool
isNumber = do
 n <- getLine
 let val = case (reads :: ReadS Integer) n of
 ((v,_):_) -> True
 _ -> False
 return val
Still, its not really idiomatic. Let's separate the IO from the pure code, and actually return the parsed number, if it succeeds:
readNumber :: String -> Maybe Integer
readNumber s = case reads s of
 ((v,_):_) -> Just v
 _ -> Nothing
getNumber :: IO (Maybe Integer)
getNumber = do
 s <- getLine
 return (readNumber s)
*Main> getNumber
Just 123
*Main> getNumber
So we've cleaned up the parsing, and separted IO from parsing, meaning you can test your parser in isolation, and added type information to document your design.

I would like to get True or False and Your code unfortunatelly returns me number or Nothing. – priceman May 21 '11 at 20:07
You can convert a Maybe to a Bool by using the isJust function. E.g. isJust <$> getNumber. – Don Stewart May 21 '11 at 20:09
So I need 3 functions: readNumber, getNumber and isJust - too many functions - I need only one - so I need other solution. – priceman May 21 '11 at 20:22
The point of my post was to show you how to decompose the problem into its three parts, and you can then combine them into one function that does the job properly. Your single function is just the composition of those three, independent functions: getLine, readNumber and isJust. Building up code piecewise like this is just good development practice. – Don Stewart May 21 '11 at 20:41
But if for some reason you don't want to do it idiomatically, the last version of isNumber does in fact do exactly what you want. It's just ugly code. – Anschel Schaffer-Cohen May 21 '11 at 20:55
Add return val or simply write return $ case.... The last statement in do... must be an expression. In your particular case it must be an expression of type IO Bool, so you need to lift value into IO monad with return function. You also need to specify type for v explicitly (you will probably need ScopedTypeVariables GHC extension for this.)
It is also a good idea to write a separate pure function of type String -> Bool and use it in the impure IO code.

ICU Processes and Procedures
ICU Release Version Number Policy
ICU version number consists of up to four digits separated by dot.
 - First two digits are used for major release number. Major release numbers for C and J are always synchronized.
 - Even number at the second digit indicates an official release (e.g. 4.2)
 - Odd number at the second digit indicates a development release (e.g. 4.3.1) for next major release.
 - Third digit in an official release number indicates a maintenance update which is applicable to both C and J.
 - Incremented only when C and J have common changes, such as CLDR update.
 - For example, CLDR 1.7.1 changes are integrated into ICU4C 4.2.1 and ICU4J 4.2.1.
 - Third digit in a development release number indicates a milestone
 - ICU4C 4.3.1 -> ICU4C 4.4 development milestone 1
 - Fourth digit in an official release number indicates a maintenance update only applicable to either C or J.
 - For example, ICU4C resolved some platform specific build issues and no equivalent changes in J.
Ticket Life Cycle
Here is a description of the life cycle of an ICU Trac ticket, a feature request or a bug report, from initial submittal through implementation and review to release.
Feature Proposals and Design
 1. All API design proposals (for any additions and changes) must be proposed on the icu-design mailing list.
 2. The proposal email itself must include: (See the template subpage)
 1. The proposed (new or changed) API signature(s)
 2. A Trac ticket number
 3. A Suggested API reviewer
 4. A deadline for comments (usually one week from proposal).
 3. Background information in the proposal can be helpful if the topic is complex. If there is a lot of information, write a design doc.
 4. The API signature must be reviewed by someone before submitting, and the reviewer must reply to the posting.
 5. In the ICU core team meeting, we have a regular agenda item to confirm recent API proposals (before or after code submission). Here we confirm that someone has reviewed it and no one objects.
 6. New/changed API that is discovered to not have proposal is withdrawn at or before the API Freeze milestone.
 7. We will try to write a tool to find API additions. The idea is to add a text file to the repository with expected additions/changes, and to check the actual set of APIs against that.
 8. There should not be major API additions after the API Slush milestone. Small additions (for example, new methods on existing classes) should be ok.
 9. Major functionality/new API or disruptive changes need to be implemented on a branch. The API there must be reviewed and confirmed before merging it to the trunk.
ICU Coding Style Guidelines
The ICU coding guidelines are described in the user guide at

Research Problems and Strategies
When children were born illegitimately and the father's name is not known what research strategy is suggested?
1. Check who the witnesses were at birth of child. Likelihood is that there might be a relationship
There might exist a separate section in the church book for illegitimate births.
2. Check whether the mother marries the father later and the child became legitimized by the father's acknowledgment.
3. Check confirmation records.
4. Find school records to see if school fees were paid for the child and by whom (Search in School records. One possibility "Kirchenvisitationen", "Schülerverzeichnis")
5. Was the child adopted? (Search in court records, key word: " Adoptionen", "Vormundschaft")
6. See if a will exists in which the child was bequeathed money or property. (Search in court records for "Testamente")
When parents came from a city unknown what would be the research strategy?
1. Check the witnesses at the children's baptisms. Witnesses might be relatives and there may be a place name which could give a clue.
2. Check citizenship records of present residence (Search for" Bürgerrolle", "Bürgerbuch", "Bürgerliste"," Bürgerverzeichnis", "Einwohnermeldeverzeichnis")
3. Check for journeymen or servants records (Search for "Geburtsbriefe", "Gesindebuch", "Heimatscheine", "Wanderbücher", "Gutsarchiv" records)
4. Check census records. Search for "Volkszählungen".
5. Check guild records. Search for "Innungen"
6. Check neighboring church records to see if parents appeared as witnesses.
When given and surnames are present more than once in a parish and additional persons cannot easily be assigned to each other, what would be the research strategy?
1. Establish whole families. See who has married whom and had what children.
2. Compare findings in church books with court records. 90% of the population in Germany were dependent farmers. They did not own their farms but had usufruct, for which they were taxed and recorded in administrative records. Parents would bequeath, sell, lease or retire, and children inherit personal property. All such actions were recorded in court records. ( Search in archival records, such as "Schuldund Pfandprotokolle")
3. Check tax lists. Twice a year people were required to pay taxes. See if the same heads of family pay each time. If the head of household dies, the widow continues to pay taxes until her child becomes of age and takes over or she remarries. (Search for "Steuerlisten", "Steuerrollen", "Amtsrechnungen").
When different spellings exist for a family name what would be the research strategy?
1. Be aware that spelling rules are not set until the early 1900s. Dialects can apply when writing official records. Some consonants and vowels are interchangeable. The name Triebenbach can be spelled Driebenbach, Treubenbach, Drübenbach.
2. Names can be Latinized: The name Keller becomes Cellarius, names can sound as if they are Latin, such as Debelius.
3. The priest simply made a mistake
4. Consider looking at neighboring parish registers
5. Always compare the spelling of a name with other documents available for the time period. (The most common ones are taxlists, in German "Steuerlisten", "Steuerrollen").
When church records from a parish cannot be located what should be the research strategy?
1. Check if the correct parish was chosen. A good source to check is a gazetteer.
2. Have parish jurisdictions changed?
3. Check with the diocese (Bistum) or deanery (Dekanat) if a duplicate record does exist and where it was deposited.
For Evangelical records check here (Evangelische Kirche in Thüringen)
Catholic church (Adressen, Gemeinden, Dekanate)
When church books no longer exist because they were destroyed what should the research strategy be?
Gather information from other records:
1. Tax records (Steuerlisten, Schatzungslisten) – located in state archives
2. Debt registers, citizenship records, fire insurance registers (Schuldenregister, Löscheimerlisten, Brandregister, Bürgerlisten) – located in city archives, mayor's office
3. Guild records, notary records, land records (Innungslisten, Zunftbücher, notarielle Akten, Grundbuchsachen – state archives
4. Kataster, Bannbücher (cadastral, absolvent books) – state archives, cadastral offices, finance departments
5. Tax records of parishes (Lagerbücher) – church archives
6. House lists, address books, house ownership lists, military records, vaccination records (Häuserlisten, Adressbücher, Hauswirtslisten, Stammrollen, Impflisten) – city archives
7. News papers (Zeitungen, Amtsblätter) - city archive, state archive
8. Emigration records, census records, Wählerlisten (Auswanderungsakten, Volkszählungen,
voting records) – state archive
9. Cemetery records (Gräber, Gottesacker) – city archive

Calculating polygon areas in QGIS?
 - How do I calculate areas of an area shapefile in square meters or in acres (ha)?
 I didn't find that functionality in the vector tools.
 - Stev_k
 Stev_k Correct answer
 8 years ago
 Make the layer editable, then use the field calculator (Layer>Open attribute table>Field Calculator/Ctrl+I or right click shapefile>Open attribute table>Field Calculator/Ctrl+I). There is an operator "$area" that will calculate the area of each row in the table. All units will be calculated in the units of the projection, so you probably want to project it to a projection that uses feet or metres before doing that, rather than lat/lon.
 In current versions of QGIS if your data is in a Geographic CRS you can use the function transform() to project the geometries to a projected system (Preferably an equal area one) without the need to duplicate your data. In the Field calculator, something like this should work: area($geometry, 'EPSG:4326','EPSG:3763')
 _USER_: Do you mean 'area(transform($geometry, 'EPSG:4326','EPSG:3763'))'?
 _USER_ yes, my mistake.
 - This can also be done with Vector|Geometry Tools|Add/export geometry columns, which creates a new shapefile with area and perimeter (or length) columns added.
 Edit: (using the tool above, you can also unselect "save as new shape-file" in V1.8, the shapefile is now only updated!)
 Using the field calculator is probably a better idea, though, as it doesn't require the creation of a new shapefile.
 You can't change the attributes of the shapefile without enabling editing first, (calculating area counts as editing the attributes, you are adding a new column). Keep in mind that all units will be calculated in the units of the projection (meters bu default), so you to re-project it to a projected coordinate system first.
 - I wrote a script specifically for this. If you don't want to reproject your data, you can compute the area using ellipsoidal math.
 Processing Toolbox -> Tools -> Get scripts from on-line scripts collection -> Ellipsoidal Area
 You will find the script installed in Processing Toolbox -> Utils -> Ellipsoidal area
 The tool should be self explanatory and will allow you to calculate area in units of your choice regardless of projection.
 Can you give better example as code?
 - If the areas you are looking at are liable to change, such as looking at infrastructure layouts, catchment areas, study areas etc, I find it useful to simply label the areas, instead of adding them as attributes.
 Label-> round($area/10000,2)||' ha'
 This way you don't need to remember to update the catchment areas in the attribute tables as often.
 won't this save your values as strings? I would advise against saving numerical data as strings and instead include the area unit in the field name.
 - If not getting very accurate area calculations does not bother you (or if you do not want to play with different options in the field calculator as mentioned by some of the answers and comments above), in the current version of QGIS (i.e., QGIS 3.12) there is an easy way to deal with this. Go to "Project >> Properties >> General" and change the units for distance and area measurements. Now $area in the field calculator automatically transform the CRS for area (and for other geometric calculations if that matters).
 However, I personally recommend doing the method by _USER_ as it will give you more accurate results. Though you have to do a little search that what will be the 3rd parameter of transform function, i.e., most suitable CRS for your area of interest and its units.

MQTT time stamp
I've set up a simple test that has a couple ESP32's that publish Temp/Humidity pairs to the MQTT connector. I'm able to display a graph with the published data that covers a 24 hour period. The problem I have is with the time display on the graph, it is UTC. Both the ESP32's and RaspberryPi are set to the correct local time. But the incoming data is always displayed using UTC. Is there a way to change this to local time?
Hi tresark,
If you are referring to the timestamp in the metadata, you can add the missing hours with a formular.
In Exceltime 1 represents 1 day. So adding 1/24 to your current time adds one hour to the total. :slight_smile:
Time in A1
In B1 you write =A1+(1/24)
The time in B1 is one hour later then the time in A1.
Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure though how to use that with the draw.chart function.
What is your Streamsheet looking like at the moment, what do you use as your DataRange for the Chart?
The streamsheet is fairly trivial at the moment. It is based on the Windmill demo included during install. I was able to get the esp32 to post the data using MQTT. The current sensor values are moved from the 'inbox' to a pair of cells D5, D6. I then use the TIMEAGGREGATE function to keep a running average over the course of an hour (=TIMEAGGREGATE(D5,86400,1) in cell D7 and for the other in D8. Then I use (=DRAW.CHART("ID1","Chart1",13743,7594,11668,6191,"scatterLine",D7).
All that said, the demo Wind Cockpit that displays the moving chart for Wind Speed does the same thing. Across the bottom of that chart the times are in UTC.
In the Timeaggregate function you can use the parameter "timeserial".
This defaults to NOW() which is UTC. If you enter "NOW()+1/24" you added one hour to the UTC time! :slight_smile:
Example: =TIMEAGGREGATE(B11,,0,NOW()+1/24)
Perfect, thanks very much.

This question is inspired by this one. In that thread, it's established that there are uncountably many cube-free infinite binary strings (where $x \in 2^{\omega}$ is cube-free iff $\forall \sigma \subset x,\ \sigma \sigma \sigma \not \subset x$). Here $\subset$ denotes "substring" which should be distinguished from "initial segment" which I'll denote by $\sqsubset$ if the need arises.
So let $C \subset 2^{\omega}$ be the subset of Cantor space consisting of all cube-free sequences. It's uncountable, and easily seen to be closed, hence it contains a perfect set.
Question 1. Is $C$ perfect?
Let's define:
$T_C = \{ \sigma \in 2^{<\omega} : (\exists x \in C)(\sigma \sqsubset x)\}$
$\ \ \ \ \ = \{ \sigma \in 2^{<\omega} : (\forall n > |\sigma|)( \exists \tau \in 2^n )(\sigma \sqsubset \tau,\ \tau$ cube-free$)\}$
$T_P = \{\sigma \in 2^{<\omega} : (\forall \tau \sqsupset \sigma, \tau \in T_C)(\exists \rho_1, \rho_2 \sqsupset \tau$ both in $T_C)(\rho_1 \perp \rho_2)\}$
Question 2. $T_C$ is evidently $\Pi ^0 _1$, but is it in fact recursive?
If we let $P$ denote the maximal perfect subset of $C$ obtained by iteratively removing isolated points of $C$ until this procedure stabilizes (taking intersections at limit stages), then $P$ determines a tree which I believe would be the tree $T_P$ defined above.
Question 3. What is the complexity of the tree determined by $P$?
If $T_P$ is indeed the tree determined by $P$, then the tree determined by $P$ is at worst $\Pi ^0 _3$, but can we do better?
UPDATE: The answers are:
 1. Yes
 2. Yes
 3. Since $C$ is perfect, $P = C$ and so by the answers to 1 and 2, the tree determined by $P$ is just the tree determined by $C$, which is recursive.
I've learnt this after discussing it with Robert Shelton, one of the authors of the paper Gjergji linked to in his response below. In fact, what I've gathered is that there's a function $f$, better than being on the order of $n^2$, such that to determine whether an arbitrary finite string $\sigma$ has a cube-free infinite extension, it suffices to check whether it has one of length $f(|\sigma|)$ (where $|\sigma|$ is the length of $\sigma$). I suppose this would mean furthermore that the tree $T_C$ is not merely recursive, i.e. $\Delta_1$, but in fact $\Delta_0$.

This will also be a question in dynamics. One can also ask what is the entropy of C? – Nishant Chandgotia Apr 15 '11 at 7:09

I found an article of J.D. Currie and R.O. Shelton that answers the first question. "The set of k-power free words over Σ is empty or perfect".
Added: Note that Currie has a number of papers on power free words, and many of them are on the arxiv.
share|improve this answer
Thanks. The article actually seems to answer all the questions I asked (possibly). Since $C$ is perfect, $T_C = T_P$ so questions 2 and 3 are equivalent. And Theorem 3.3 claims that we can effectively determine whether a finite binary string has an infinite cube-free extension. It's not clear whether this effective procedure is uniform however, and the proof of this theorem along with the definitions of some key terms appear to be in some other papers, so rather than chasing papers I emailed the authors and asked. I'll post an update if I get a response. – Amit Kumar Gupta Apr 15 '11 at 15:12
After a fruitful back-and-forth with Robert Shelton, I've understood that yes, the tree $T_C$ is recursive. – Amit Kumar Gupta Apr 19 '11 at 14:53

Timilìa wheat
Synonyms: Timilia a reste bianche, Tumminia, Diminia, Tummulia, Riminia, Marzuolo siciliano, Marzuolo, Timilia napoletana, Napoletan. Known as Timilìahe, the cultivation of durum wheat has been practiced in Sicily for several centuries. It is thought that it was already known in ancient Greece with the name of Trimeniaios (τρεσ μηναιός).
During the 90-year war (_PHONE_) this wheat was cultivated in Lentini for the possibility of being sown late. Its synonym Triminia indicates the capacity that this wheat has to complete its cultivation cycle in three months.
The Franciscan monk Francesco Cupani (_PHONE_) speaks of Timilia in his Panphyton Siculum, describing it as "Triticum omnium durum Vernum spica longâ alba, angustâ barbâ nigricante" which means "A hard spring wheat, a long white spike, with thick black beard".
But we probably owe to Johann Wolfgang Goethe the most famous description of this wheat. In his "Voyage to Sicily" (1787) he describes it in this way: "The wheat is beautiful. Tumenia (TUMMINIA) -name that seems to come from Bimenia orTrimeniais a precious gift of Ceres: it's a kind of summer grain which ripens in three months. They sow it from January to June and it always matures within a certain time. It doesn't need much water but rather quite a lot of heat. From the beginning it shows a very delicate leaf, then it grows like other wheat and finally it acquires a lot of force".
This wheat was also found in Portugal, North Africa, France and particularly in Seville, Spain. The agronomist Hugo Werner German in 1885 reported the various names with which Triticum tumonia or Timilìa was called. The names varies according to the location and were as follow: Tremesino in Spain; Blé Trimenia, Trèmois, or Trimenia de Sicile in France and Dreimonatweizen (three-month grain) in Germany.
Timilia widespread throughout Sicily in the last century as in the first half of the century the cultivation of this variety reached a remarkable diffusion thanks to the adaptation to the different environmental conditions. However, in the second half of the 20th century it was almost entirely abandoned. Recently, thanks to the greater sensitivity towards healthier and more sustainable productions and to the passion of various farmers guardians of Sicily, Timilia wheat regained a prominent place in the production of wheat throughout the Sicilian territory.
Its flour is used in a mixture for the production of Castelvetrano's black bread which is typical of the western area of the island and Slow Food presidium.

Kinematic singularity avoidance for robot manipulators using set-based manipulability tasks
MetadataShow full item record
This paper proposes a novel method for kinematic singularity avoidance for robot manipulators. Using set-based singularity avoidance tasks within the singularity-robust multiple task priority framework, avoidance of kinematic singularities is guaranteed without interfering with the convergence of compatible equality tasks. Non-compatible equality tasks will still be fulfilled to the extent possible. In addition, the method can be used to reconfigure the robot into a more dexterous configuration. The proposed method is applicable to both redundant and nonredundant robots, with both fixed base and floating base. The implementation is generic and independent of the type and number of tasks. Although also applicable for non-redundant fixed base robot manipulators, this novel approach is particularly well suited for highly redundant and/or floating base manipulators, since the robot configuration can be changed to improve the dexterity of the manipulator arm. We demonstrate the method by applying it to an underwater swimming manipulator, which is an innovative and highly redundant underwater floating base manipulator. Furthermore, simulation results are presented that illustrate and validate the proposed method.

Muscle Strength Is In The Mind: Just Imagining Arm Exercises Creates A Tangible Effect On The Body
Brain and brawn aren't mutually exclusive—that, in fact, they have more in common than they ever thought. In a small study recently published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, researchers found that much of muscle strength is based on brain activity, rather than on the mass of the muscles themselves. "There's a fair amount of evidence that you'll activate the same parts of the brain doing imagery as you do if you're actually doing the task itself," explained Brian Clark, a physiology professor at Ohio University and the study's lead author. "The basic thought is that the imagery is allowing the brain to maintain those connections."

November 23, 1948
An investigation has been conducted in the NACA Cleveland altitude wind tunnel to evaluate the performance and windmilling drag characteristics of an original and a modified turbojet engine of the same type. Data have been obtained at simulated altitudes from 5000 to 45,000 feet, simulated flight Mach numbers from 0.09 to 1.08, and engine speeds from 4000 to 12,500 rpm. Engine performance data are presented for both engines to show the effects of altitude at a flight Mach number of 0.25 and of flight Mach number at an altitude of 25,000 feet. Performance of the original and modified engines is compared for a range of simulated flight conditions. The performance data are generalized to show the applicability of methods used to estimate performance at any altitude from data obtained at a given altitude. Engine-windmilling-speed and windmilling-drag data are presented for a range of simulated flight conditions.

These tactics are a random selection of 9 – yet they offer a discourse on how we might interrogate the ideas we assume are critical to the essence of design action: The 9 tactics explored Generosity, Empathy, ReUse, Repair, Culturing, Play, Futuring, Co-working, and finally Making. At the end of 12 weeks each participant proposed a tactic that offered an alternative to an already understood design thinking practice. This reveals how this might be demonstrated in a project.This a a compilation of propositional design tactics proposed by the participants of the Tic-Tac-Toe, design Studies Tutorial.


Determining if objects are permanently unavailable
You can determine if objects are permanently unavailable by making a request using the TSM administrative console.
Before you begin
About this task
This example is provided for your information only; this procedure cannot help you identify all failure conditions that may result in unavailable objects or tape volumes. For information about TSM administration, see TSM Server documentation.
 1. Log in to an Admin Node:
 1. Enter the following command: ssh admin@Admin_Node_IP
 2. Enter the password listed in the Passwords.txt file.
 2. Identify the object or objects that could not be retrieved by the Archive Node:
 1. Go to the directory containing the audit log files: cd /var/local/audit/export
 The active audit log file is named audit.log. Once a day, the active audit.log file is saved, and a new audit.log file is started. The name of the saved file indicates when it was saved, in the format yyyy-mm-dd.txt. After a day, the saved file is compressed and renamed, in the format yyyy-mm-dd.txt.gz, which preserves the original date.
 2. Search the relevant audit log file for messages indicating that a retrieval failure occurred. For example, enter: grep ARCE audit.log | less -n
 When a retrieval fails, the ARCE audit message (Archive Object Retrieve End) displays ARUN (archive middleware unavailable) or GERR (general error) in the result field. The following example line from the audit log shows that the ARCE message terminated with the result ARUN for CBID 498D8A1F681F05B3.
 See the instructions for understanding audit messages.
 3. Record the CBID of each object with a request failure.
 You might also want to record the following additional information used by the TSM to identify objects saved by the Archive Node:
 - File Space Name: Select Support > Grid Topology. Then, select Archive Node > ARC > Target > Overview.
 The file space name is the Archive Node's node ID.
 - High Level Name: Equivalent to the volume ID assigned to the object by the Archive Node. The volume ID takes the form of a date (20091127), and is recorded as the VLID of the object in archive audit messages.
 - Low Level Name: Equivalent to the CBID assigned to an object by the StorageGRID system.
 4. Log out of the command shell: exit
 3. Check the TSM server to see if the objects identified in step 2 are permanently unavailable:
 1. Log in to the administrative console of the TSM server: dsmadmc
 Use the administrative user name and password that are configured for the ARC service. Enter the user name and password in the Grid Manager. (Select Support > Grid Topology. Then, select Archive Node > ARC > Target > Configuration.)
 2. Determine if the object is permanently unavailable.
 For example, you might search the TSM activity log for a data integrity error for that object. The following example shows a search of the activity log for the past day for an object with CBID 498D8A1F681F05B3.
 > query actlog begindate=-1 search=276C14E94082CC69
 12/21/2008 05:39:15 ANR0548W Retrieve or restore
 failed for session _PHONE_ for node DEV-ARC-20 (Bycast ARC)
 processing file space /_PHONE_ 4 for file /20081002/
 498D8A1F681F05B3 stored as Archive - data
 integrity error detected. (SESSION: _PHONE_)
 Note that depending on the nature of the error, the CBID might not be recorded in the TSM activity log. You might need to search the log for other TSM errors around the time of the request failure.
 3. If an entire tape is permanently unavailable, identify the CBIDs for all objects stored on that volume: query content TSM_Volume_Name
 where TSM_Volume_Name is the TSM name for the unavailable tape. The following is an example of the output for this command:
 > query content TSM-Volume-Name
 Node Name Type Filespace FSID Client's Name for File Name
 DEV-ARC-20 Arch /_PHONE_ 216 /20081201/ C1D172940E6C7E12
 DEV-ARC-20 Arch /_PHONE_ 216 /20081201/ F1D7FBC2B4B0779E
 The Client's Name for File Name" is the Archive Node volume ID (TSM "high level name") followed by the object's CBID (TSM "low level name). That is: /Archive Node volume ID /CBID or, in the first line of this example: /20081201/ C1D172940E6C7E12
 Recall also that the Filespace is the node ID of the Archive Node.
 You will need the CBID of each object stored on the volume and the node ID of the Archive Node to cancel the retrieval request in the next step.
 4. For each object that is permanently unavailable, cancel the retrieval request and inform the StorageGRID system that the object copy was lost:
 Attention: Use the ADE Console with caution. If the console is used improperly, it is possible to interrupt system operations and corrupt data. Enter commands carefully, and only use the commands documented in this procedure.
 1. If you are not already logged in to the Archive Node, log in as follows:
 1. Enter the following command: ssh admin@grid_node_IP
 2. Enter the password listed in the Passwords.txt file.
 4. Enter the password listed in the Passwords.txt file.
 2. Access the ADE console of the ARC service: telnet localhost 1409
 3. Cancel the request for the object: /proc/BRTR/cancel -c CBID
 where CBID is the identifier of the object that cannot be retrieved from the TSM.
 If the only copies of the object are on tape, the "bulk retrieval" request is canceled with a message "1 requests canceled". If copies of the object exist elsewhere in the system, the object retrieval is processed by a different module so the response to the message is "0 requests canceled".
 4. Notify the StorageGRID system that an object copy has been lost and an additional copy must be made of the indicated object: /proc/CMSI/Object_Lost CBID node_ID
 where CBID is the identifier of the object that cannot be retrieved from the TSM server.
 For Archive Nodes, you cannot use a range of CBIDs.
 node_ID is the node ID of the Archive Node where the retrieval failed.
 In most cases, the StorageGRID system immediately begins to make additional copies of object data to ensure that the system's ILM policy is followed. In a StorageGRID system configured to use an ILM rule with only one active content placement instruction, copies of an object are not made. If an object is lost, it cannot be recovered. In this case, running the Object_Lost command purges the lost object's metadata from the StorageGRID system.
 When the Object_Lost command completes successfully, it returns the message CLOC_LOST_ANS returned result 'SUCS'.
 5. Exit the ADE Console: exit
 6. Log out of the Archive Node: exit
 5. Reset the value of Request Failures in the StorageGRID system:
 1. Go to Archive Node > ARC > Retrieve > Configuration, and select Reset Request Failure Count.
 2. Click Apply Changes.

Unanswered: Checking text box text against original
Wondering if anyone can help me with this?
I have a text box on a products form that allows a user to edit the current product details, one of these details is the total number of products received to date.
If the user edits this text box then they can set this value equal to less than the original value. I want to make sure that whatever number they enter, it is greater than the original value that was in the text box.
If it isn't i want to be able to display a message box telling them this.

On 27 March 1933 The Change of Name Act was proclaimed in Saskatchewan. This was the first legislation in the province to formalize the process of legally changing one's name. It allowed for anyone over the age of twenty-one years to apply for a change of name. However, certain restrictions applied. No married woman could, during the lifetime of her husband, change her surname as acquired from him; and no married man could apply to change his surname or the given names of his wife, or of their unmarried children under the age of twenty-one, without the wife's consent.
Formal application for a change of name under the 1933 legislation was to be made to the Provincial Secretary. The application was to state the full name of the applicant, the place of residence, and where necessary the full name of his wife as well as full names and ages of minor children, along with the proposed change of name(s). A notice of this application was then published in The Saskatchewan Gazette and a newspaper circulating in the district where the applicant resided. Once the name change had been approved, the Certificate of Change of Name was also published in The Gazette and the local newspaper. It should be noted, though, that the Certificate did not give the ages of minor children as the published notice of application did.
By an amendment to the Act in 1941, people who had lawfully changed their names in jurisdictions outside of Saskatchewan could apply to the Provincial Secretary for Saskatchewan to have that change registered here. That notice would then be published in The Saskatchewan Gazette. The Act was again changed in 1947 so that applications were thereafter to be made to the Director of Vital Statistics. The 1947 amendment stipulated that a married or widowed person over the age of eighteen years could now change his/her name as well. Also, the written consent of a child of fourteen years of age or older was required to change his/her name. As of June that year the Certificate of Change of Name was no longer published in The Gazette, so there is no way of knowing from that source whether or not the application was successful after that date.
The Saskatchewan Gazette is therefore an important, comprehensive source of information regarding all formal applications for changes of name in the province from 1933. However, it had also been used on an intermittent basis to give notice of changes of name as far back as 1917.
The index following this introduction appears in two alphabetical series: one by the original name and another by the new name, as they appeared in The Saskatchewan Gazette. This index will, we feel, be a useful genealogical tool for those who have lost contact with relatives moving into the province, where the name changed subsequent to the move, and for those who, not realizing there has been a change of name, are trying to trace the origins of their families. Researchers using the index are encouraged to consult the original entries in The Gazette in either office of the Saskatchewan Archives Board, since there is often additional information in the published notices, such as ages of minor children and street addresses for instance, that could not be included in the index. It should also be noted that notices of application for change of name continue to be published in The Gazette to the present day, even though this index (rather arbitrarily) stops at the end of 1950.
The Saskatchewan Genealogical Society in publishing this index wishes to acknowledge with thanks the assistance of D'Arcy Hande and the Saskatchewan Archives Board, Debbie Moyer of the Saskatoon Branch (SGS) and Rae Chamberlain of the Biggar Branch (SGS).

JS constructor names make it easier to analyze memory dumps
As they say, "There are two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors". Out of these 2/3 things, naming is the most difficult. We all know that being lazy when naming things will hurt you down the road when you'll need to make sense of the code that you've written half a year ago. However, one more interesting aspect of good naming paying off I didn't previously think about is memory dump analysis.
Let's imagine, you are facing what looks like a memory leak or some strange behavior of the system and memory dump may help you understand what's happening inside the brain of your system in a particular environment. So you dump your heap, Google Chrome does a great job of grouping your object by constructor name, but all you see is this:
JS heap dump example with badly named constructors
Since your service classes where isolated in your modules/files and you default-exported them, it seemed unnecessary to think of fancy names. The path to the file identifies the service so well anyway! Not until you look at a heap dump like this.

Tracking a Swinging Target with a Robot Manipulator using Visual Sensing
Journal article, Peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
Original versionModeling, Identification and Control. 2016, 37 (1), 53-62. 10.4173/mic.2016.1.5
In this paper we develop a method for loading parts onto a swinging target using an industrial robot. The orientation of the target is estimated by a particle filter using camera images as measurements. Robust and accurate tracking is achieved by using an accurate dynamic model of the target. The dynamical model is also used to compensate for the time delay between the acquisition of images and the motion response of the robot. The target dynamics is modeled as a spherical pendulum. To ensure robust visual tracking the position of the target mass center is estimated. The method is experimentally validated in a laboratory loading station with a swinging conveyor trolley as target, which is commonly used in industry.


Cross Exchange Rate Calculator
Enter the exchange rate or currency A to C and the exchange rate from B to C into the cross exchange rate calculator. The calculator will return the Cross Rate from A to B.
Cross Exchange Rate Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the cross exchange rate of 3 different currencies, A,B, and C.
A:B = A:C/B:C
 - Where A, B, and C are different currency rates.
When analyzing currency exchanges it's important to point out that the ratio of exchange rates is constantly changing from day to day. This formula can also be used to calculate cross exchange rates of things that are not currencies.
Cross Exchange Rate Definition
A cross exchange rate is the ratio of exchange rates between two or more currencies on the open market.
How to calculate cross exchange rate?
How to calculate a cross exchange rate
 1. Determine the ratio between currency A and C.
 Using your tool of choice, look up the exchange rate between currency A and C. This will be your A:C ratio
 2. Next, determine the ratio between currency B and C
 This will be your B:C ratio. You can use the same tool or database as used in step 1.
 3. Finally, calculate A:B
 Using the formula above and the ratios from steps 1 and 2, you can now calculate the A:B cross exchange rate.
What is a cross exchange rate?
A cross exchange rate is a term typically used in economics to describe the comparison of two currencies through the use of a third common currency. For example, if you know the rates between A and C and B and C, then you can estimate the rates between A and C assuming the same rules apply to exchanges.
How can i use a cross exchange rate?
Cross exchange rates can be used to calculate fair market values for exchanging of any goods or services, not just currencies. For example, if you want a chicken, and it costs 1 blanket, but you don't have a blanket, then you need to exchange something else, say a rock. If you know that rock is also worth one blanket, then you can exchange the rock for that chicken.

Term: Rosendale Township [origin of place name]
Definition: In an early day the name of Rosendale was the most appropriate that could have been given to the tract of land constituting the town of that name. It was suggested by Mrs. George C. Curtis because it was such a perfect vale of roses.

Question – Describe the causes for the tribal movements occurred during the British period. – 2 August 2021
Tribal movements were carried out on local issues, by local leadership and common people. These movements were mainly violent. These movements were sometimes against the British and sometimes against non-British such as money lenders, forest contractors etc.
Causes of tribal movements
- Forest laws: SuchForest laws were enacted by the British government that prevented tribals from living in protected areas. These forest laws also prohibited the use of products derived from forests. The British government established a forest department in 1864 to control the rich resources of Indian forests. The Government Forest Act, 1865 and the Indian Forest Act, 1868 established complete government monopoly on forest land.
- Land revenue system: The British government introducedstringent land revenue system. In addition to this, the traditions of joint ownership of land of tribals was deeply affected by extension of agriculture in the tribal areas or forest area by non-tribals and increased socio-economic discrimination in the egalitarian structure of tribal society.
- Exploitation: Beggar forced on the tribals by the forest contractors and external people and encroachment in tribal lands.
- Religious reform: Forced religious reform and conversion of tribal communities. The activities of Christian missionaries brought changes in the socio-economic and cultural equations of the tribals, they discouraging people to take up arms against the government. For this reason missionaries were seen as an extension of colonialism.
The area of influence of most tribal movements was limited, but these movements laid the foundation of future national movements.

Although several approaches have been developed for planning in nondeterministic domains, solving large planning problems is still quite difficult. In this work, we present a novel algorithm, called YoYo, for planning in nondeterministic domains under the assumption of full observability. This algorithm enables us to combine the power of search-control strategies as in Planning with Hierarchical Task Networks (HTNs) with techniques from the Planning via Symbolic Model-Checking (SMC). Our experimental evaluation confirms the potentialities of our approach, demonstrating that it combines the advantages of these paradigms.

IZA DP No. 13404: Changes in Female Employment in Mexico: Demographics, Economics, and Policies
The unemployment and labor force participation gender gaps narrowed in Mexico after the 2008 global economic crisis, when female labor force participation increased. This paper aims to understand female labor force participation growth and identify its main determinants. For that purpose, the paper estimates a probit model with data from the National Employment Survey of 2007 and 2017, when the unemployment rate returned to the pre-crisis level. Broadly, the results show that increasing labor force participation of women ages 36 to 65 sustained the growth of overall female labor force participation, women's educational attainment can offset any individual or household obstacle to women's employability, and childcare availability significantly supports mothers' employability.

I am setting an alarm using an AlarmManager.
The AlarmManager is set with the date that i parse.
I have a getter and setter class that i use to pull the release dates and the name of the items when the list is populated.
How could i go about setting the title of the item when the alarm goes off as a notification?
EDIT: I would like to set a title with the alarm date. I dont know if this is possible.
What i am trying to do is launch a notification with the alarm manager. But i dont know how would identify which item is is.

What you want to display in the title of the notification just pass that string to the "Ticker" variable in the following code..
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, Ticker, when);
or follow this example
