$120.00 CAD
The Pterodactyl and the 3rd issue in series, takes flight in this exciting Dinosaur Coin Collection struck in 1 ounce of.999 pure silver. The word 'Pterodactylus', commonly known as Pterodactyls, comes from the Greek meaning 'winged finger'. Pterodactylus had extremely long, specially adapted fourth fingers, to which its wings were attached.
The coin has been antiqued as part of the overall design aesthetic. The reverse shows a coloured and engraved image of the dragon-like, winged Pterodactyls in flight against a prehistoric background. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and is legal tender in Niue.
The numbered Certificate of Authenticity fits neatly inside a quality coin case which is placed inside a themed outer box. This certificate confirms the limited mintage of 2,000 coins.
Triceratops backstory:
Many studies conclude that Pterodactylus was a carnivore that probably preyed upon fish as well as other small animals. Like all pterosaurs, Pterodactylus had wings formed by a skin and muscle membrane stretching from its elongated fourth finger to its hind limbs. It was supported internally by collagen fibres and externally by keratinous ridges. Pterodactylus was a small pterosaur compared to other famous genera such as Pteranodon and Quetzalcoatlus, and it also lived earlier, during the Late Jurassic period, while both Pteranodon and Quetzalcoatlus lived during the Late Cretaceous Period.

The IDLgrTessellator class is a helper class that converts a simple concave polygon (or a simple polygon with holes) into a number of simple convex polygons (general triangles). A polygon is simple if it includes no duplicate vertices, if the edges intersect only at vertices, and exactly two edges meet at any vertex.
Tessellation is useful because the IDLgrPolygon object accepts only convex polygons. Using the IDLgrTessellator object, you can convert a concave polygon into a group of convex polygons.
The IDLgrTessellator::Init method takes no arguments. Use the following statement to create a tessellator object:
myTess = OBJ_NEW('IDLgrTessellator')
See IDLgrTessellator for details on creating tessellator objects.
The procedure file
obj_tess.pro, located in the
examples/visual subdirectory of the IDL distribution, provides an example of the use of the IDLgrTessellator object. To run the example, enter OBJ_TESS at the IDL prompt. The procedure creates a concave polygon, attempts to draw it, and then tessellates the polygon and re-draws. Finally, the procedure demonstrates adding a hole to a polygon. (You will be prompted to press Return after each step is displayed.) You can also inspect the source code in the
obj_tess.pro file for hints on using the tessellator object.

The compensation order
When a defendant is convicted of an offence, the Magistrates' Court can make a compensation order when passing sentence. A compensation order is intended to make the defendant compensate the victim of the crime. Subject to the below, the court must make a compensation order wherever possible – even where the victim can claim compensation in the civil courts.
A compensation order can either be a sentence in its own right, or more commonly, ancillary to the sentence imposed. Compensation can be ordered if the defendant is sent to prison – but only if the defendant has the means to pay immediately. If the magistrates decide that no compensation is payable, they must state their reasons in open court.
What does compensation cover?
The court must consider making a compensation order where the offence resulted in personal injury, loss or damage. Personal injury includes psychological injury. In relation to property stolen, if the property is recovered but in a damaged condition, compensation can still be ordered regardless of whether or not the defendant was responsible for the damage. All that matters is that the damage was caused whilst the property was out of the owner's control as a result of the theft.
What is excluded?
Compensation is not generally payable to the dependents of a victim who has died, except for funeral expenses.
Compensation will not be ordered where the injury, loss or damage resulted from a road traffic accident unless there is a conviction under the Theft Act 1968; or the offender is uninsured and the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) will not cover the loss. The MIB is funded by all UK insurance holders and compensates victims of uninsured drivers. Personal injury and damage are covered (except for the first £300 of a claim for damage).
Fixing the amount of compensation
It is for the prosecution to establish the value of loss and to produce up-to-date and detailed evidence in support. The offender may also make representations.
The prosecution's evidence will often be in the form of a victim statement setting out, for instance, the price of the stolen or damages items (with a receipt), or detailing the nature and extent of any personal injuries sustained. The magistrates will follow formal guidelines to ascertain the appropriate amount of compensation to award for personal injuries – subject to a maximum of £5000 per charge.
However, the magistrates must balance the requirement to order compensation against the defendant's ability to pay. Payments by instalments are common and magistrates' guidance suggests that the amount ordered should be paid between a period of 13 and 52 weeks.
Varying a compensation order
The defendant can appeal a compensation order within 21 days. During this time, the order is enforceable and the defendant must make payments. However, if the appeal is successful any payments made by the defendant will be refunded.
The Magistrates' Court can discharge or reduce the order in certain circumstances:
- where a lesser amount has been awarded by a civil court;
- where the defendant has a subsequent reduction in their finances which is likely to continue for some time so that they are unable to pay either the whole or part of the compensation;
- where the property stolen is partly or fully recovered, and;
- where a confiscation order has been made in the same set of proceedings and the defendant's means are insufficient to comply with both orders.
Compensation and deprivation orders
The court can make a deprivation order in some cases, unless it will cause undue hardship to the offender. If it is satisfied that the defendant was in possession of, or in control of, property used or intended for the purposes of committing or facilitating the commission of any offence, then the court can deprive the defendant of this property.
For example, if the defendant used a car to commit a series of shoplifting offences then the court could make a deprivation order, and the proceeds of sale of the car can then be used to compensate the shop owners.
Compensation and confiscation orders
The Magistrates' Court cannot currently make confiscation orders except in very limited circumstances. The prosecution must therefore apply to the Crown Court for the offender to be committed to the Crown Court for confiscation to be considered under the Proceeds of Crime Act.


Cautery is a process to coagulate tissues and seal blood vessels using the heat. In this study, finite element modeling (FEM) was performed to analyze temperature distribution in biological tissue subject to cautery electrosurgical technique. FEM can provide detailed insight into the heat transfer in biological tissue to reduce the collateral thermal damage and improve the safety of cautery surgical procedure. A coupled thermal-electric FEM module was applied with temperature-dependent electrical and thermal properties for the tissue. Tissue temperature was measured at different locations during the electrosurgical experiments and compared to FEM results with good agreement. The temperature-dependent electrical conductivity has demonstrated to be critical. In comparison, the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity does not impact heat transfer as much as the electrical conductivity. FEM results show that the thermal effects can be varied with the electrode geometry that focuses the current density at the midline of the instrument profile.

How to Easily Resize Window In Gnome [Quick Tips]
How do you usually resize a window? Move your mouse pointer to the corner of the window and click to resize it, simple, right? Well, if you are using Gnome (Linux), resizing an application window can be a hit or miss affair. In some applications (such as Nautilus), the corners width are huge and you can easily click and drag to resize them. However, in other applications, the sidebar and corner width is only a pixel wide and moving your mouse cursor to that exact point (where the cursor become the resize arrowhead) can be a tedious task.
Here are some ways you can use to make resizing the window an easier, and enjoyable task.
1. Alt + Middle click
At anywhere in the window, press "ALT" key and the middle button of the mouse and the cursor instantly become an arrowhead. You can then move in the direction that you want to resize.
2. Press At + F8
The "Alt + F8" hotkey is a quick keyboard shortcut to activate the resize mode. Once in the resize mode (with a translucent overlay), you can use the arrow key to resize the window horizontally or vertically. Once you are done, hit Enter to return to the window mode.
3. Configure own hotkey via Compiz
If you are using Compiz, it comes with several more options that you can configure.
Open your CompizConfig Settings Manager (System -> Preferences -> CompizConfig Settings Manager).
Scroll down the list to find "Resize Window".
Click on it to enter its configuration page. From here, you can enable and assign the hotkey for different resize mode. In this example, I have enabled the "Initiate Outline Window Resize" mode and assign the hotkey "Alt + Super + W" to activate it.
That's it. This should solve your window resizing woes.

Food System Assessments and Food Policy
As communities around the country begin to observe and acknowledge the far reaching impacts of our current food system, interest in connecting the dots by way of comprehensive local food system assessments has increased. Through food system assessments, communities can examine the connections between production, distribution, consumption and waste disposal and measure their impacts on the environment, human health and livelihoods through a set of indicators over time. Understanding the trends and relationships between elements within the food system ultimately assists community members and policy makers in pinpointing areas of concern and working for appropriate and equitable reforms.
SAREP has conducted several food system assessments with the goal of examining the overall viability of a county's food system and in so doing, identifying key steps necessary to strengthen the foundation for a thriving local food system.

Have you ever imagined, what can be as precious as gold; but as light as air? Well, I don't know about the past, but in today's time, its gold only! Yes, you read it right. Few scientists from ETH Zurich were able to convert gold in the form of a foam, which can be easily molded by hands. With this discovery, gold foam has become the lightest metal on earth, ever discovered.
Gold foam? How does it look like?
Researchers say that though gold foam is as light as air, it's difficult to tell the difference between solid gold and gold foam by naked eye. It so happens because of the aerogel that boasts the metallic luster. This amazing discovery has made the gold foam so soft that it can be molded by hand. That's possible because the gold foam consists of 98% air and only 2% of solid gold metal. Of this solid metal, over four-fifths are gold, and less than one-fifth is milk protein fibrils. This corresponds to around 20 carat gold, according to the researchers at ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). All in all, gold foam consists of a three-dimensional mesh of gold of mostly pores.
That's why the lead of this research, Raffaele Mezzenga who is a professor of Food and Soft Materials calls the gold foam as a material that is "lighter than water and almost as light as air".
How the gold foam was created?
The scientists created this the gold foam by heating milk proteins to produce nanometer-fine protein fibers, that are also called as amyloid fibrils. These fibrils were later placed in a solution of gold salt. The protein fibers interlaced to form a basic structure, along which the gold simultaneously crystallized into tiny particles. This resulted in a gel-like gold fiber network.
Gustav Nyström, the first author of the corresponding study in the journal Advanced Materials mentions,
"One of the big challenges was how to dry this fine network without destroying it,"
Where can we use the gold foam?
Scientists mention that the material holds unique properties. It is a metal, but due to its porous structure, it is also light. As a result, it can be successfully used in jewelry and watches. Besides, it can be used as a revolutionary catalyst since it has huge surface, with very little quantity. It can be used in chemical labs across the world to carry out several chemical tests on this precious metal.
Gold is not the first metal to be converted into a foam. Scientists have successfully converted copper also into a foam earlier. The copper foam is used in various researches and tests in chemical labs.

Definitions for joints in belts
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Joints in Belts
Belt-joints for electric plants where the belts drive dynamos should be made with special care. The least inequality affects the electro-motive force. Butt joints are, generally speaking, the best, where the ends of the belt are placed in contact and laced. Lap-joints are made by overlapping the belt, and unless the belt is carefully tapered so as to preserve uniform strength, the speed of the dynamo will vary and also the electromotive force.

text: With an increased demand for thin-gauge metals, quality control during the cold rolling process has become a larger field of focus. Companies in the cold rolling industry have faced issues controlling and maintaining profile consistency during the cold rolling process. To reduce the amount of scrap material created when rolling steel sheets, an accurate and fast design model that predicts stress concentrations is needed. While winding a strip with a non-ideal profile, variations in stress accumulate along the width of the strip and can cause failure. Also, a sensor roll cannot distinguish between winding stresses and deformation stresses caused by the rolling operation. A method is needed to filter out the winding stresses from the sensor measurement. Using applied elasticity theory, an Airy Stress function can be derived and used to predict stresses in the rolling direction as well as shear stress behavior. Simulating the boundary conditions during the winding process allows for analysis of stress distributions and the prediction of certain modes of failure; herringbone, tearing, walk-off, etc. With an accurate model, the desired output stress profile can be adjusted according to the predicted winding stresses, and the correct mill modifications can be performed to arrive at higher quality product.


How to Calculate Standard Deviations in Excel Visual Basic
By Contributor
Updated July 21, 2017
Excel is the spreadsheet program included in the Microsoft Office Suite of productivity software. A spreadsheet program manages data through a series of tables. Each data value is placed within an individual cell within the table. Values can be manipulated through a set of built-in functions. Standard deviation is average deviation from the mean of the values of a set. Simply put, it identifies the precision of a set of values. Standard deviation can be calculated using the built-in function STDEV in Excel, or Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
Built-in Standard Deviation Function
Open Excel and the data set where you want to find the standard deviation.
Type"=STDEV(" in the cell where you want to display the standard deviation. Do not press "Enter."
Holding down shift, select the range of cells containing the data points. If the cells are not continuous, hold down Ctrl while selecting the non-continuous cells. This should place a series of cells names in the formula bar after "=STDEV(".
Type ")" in the formula bar and press "Enter." The standard deviation will be calculated using the unbiased method.
Using Built-in Functions in VBA
This same built-in function can be used in a VBA script to calculate standard deviation. Open VBA and click on the end of the module where you are going to calculate the standard deviation.
Type "Function StDev( Rng As Range)" and then press "Enter." This should also create a new line "End Function."
On the line between "Function..." and "End Function," type "StDev = Application.WorksheetFunction.StDev( Rng)" and then press "Enter."
To calculate the standard deviation in VBA, simply use the function StDev().
This same method can be used to access any of the built-in functions of Excel within VBA.

Hauling is the process of bringing an object to its designated place. There are several specific types of hauling, based on the type of item(s) to be hauled and determined by designating the specific labors on indivual dwarves.
Although not a term found in-game, hauler generally refers to a dwarf in fortress mode who has no labors enabled other than hauling. Once the dwarven economy starts, haulers are usually the poorest in the fortress as the hauling task only pays 1☼ per task completed. In large fortresses where there may be great distances for haulers to travel, individual hauling tasks may take a long time to complete, and so very little money is earned. Haulers are good candidates for cross-training to help improve their strength and agility attributes, which are important attributes for moving heavy objects across a fortress quickly.
Many larger fortresses use dedicated dwarves to do much of the hauling so that other, more specialized dwarves will spend more time in their workshops and less time dragging raw materials or finished products to the appropriate stockpile.
 Automatic hauling
Some hauling tasks do not require any hauling labor:
- A dwarf working at a workshop will gather the raw materials needed to produce wanted goods. However, produced goods require the appropriate hauling labor to be moved out of the workshop in order to avoid clutter. Dwarves producing goods at a workshop tend to keep producing them and will not necessarily clear their own workshops of clutter even when they have the appropriate hauling labor enabled.
- All adult civilian dwarves, including nobles, will bring goods to the depot.
- A moody dwarf will gather the raw materials needed for a mysterious construction.
- A dwarf
uilding something will move the needed materials to the construction site.
- Before a dwarf will build something, he will need to have the appropriate labor as specified by the task. If the dwarf is building a chair or similar, the dwarf needs Furniture Hauling; if the dwarf is building a wooden wall, it's Carpentry, and so forth. Workshops are usually constructed by any dwarf that can work in that workshop.
- An herbalist will haul any successfully-gathered plant to a stockpile immediately, if there is space available in one.
- Dwarves in the midst of eating will carry their meal to a table. Military dwarves, however, will eat directly off of the floor.
- Dwarves who have just finished drinking booze will return their barrel to the nearest food stockpile.
- Removing constructed objects will be done by all dwarves.
- Filling pits and ponds will be done by all dwarves.
- If you have the "All dwarves harvest" option turned on, all dwarves will help bring in the harvest, even if they don't have Food Hauling enabled.
 Stone hauling
Note: Dwarves, being the kind fellows they are, practically insist on hauling one of the farthest stones into your stockpiles. They tend to ignore eligible, nearby stones 'for the greater good of the fortress'. This selfless act often results in terribly long journeys, carrying just one stone. See the section on Stone management for tips on combatting this problem.
 Wood hauling
Dwarves with the wood hauling labor enabled will haul wood logs to the corresponding stockpiles.
DeforestationWood production can be sped up a lot by turning off wood hauling on your most skilled woodcutter who will focus exclusively on cutting down trees. This will however expose more of your dwarves as many wood haulers will go outside to retrieve the logs.
 Item hauling
 Food hauling
 Refuse hauling
Dwarves with the refuse hauling labor will haul rotting food, and non-dwarf bodyparts to refuse stockpiles. They will also dump marked items to the appropriate activity zone. Refuse hauling are subject to refuse orders ( : Set Orders and Options -> : Refuse Orders).
 Furniture hauling
 Animal hauling
 Tips and issues
In order to minimize hauling trips, stockpiles should be placed with care.
- Input and ouput stockpiles should be placed near corresponding workshops.
- Spoils of war: dwarves may haul entire bins full of items, or items individually. However, they are not smart enough to bin items in order to carry them, so this may end in numerous needless trips from deceased enemies to your fortress, each dwarf carrying one item at a time. To counter this:
- Place a small bin stockpile and a general purpose stockpile near the battlefield.
- When every spoil has been binned, remove the stockpiles, mark the filled bins for dumping, deactivate your usual garbage zone and create a new one in your fortress.
- When everything has been moved, reclaim your dumped items and restore your garbage zones as usual.
- Construction preparation: when constructing something big away from your fort (e.g. a road), the dwarf assigned to the construction (or architecture) will have to carry each item from your fort to the construction location, which can take a long time. By putting stockpiles near your construction project, many dwarves may participate in the hauling, thus dramatically increasing construction speed. Note that materials are allocated at the time of building, so be sure the stockpile is filled before placing the construction order, otherwise the materials will still have to come from afar.
- Consider specializing your haulers if possible - food haulers that orbit around the kitchen/dining room/farm area, stone haulers that orbit around the mines and furnaces, and (if possible/needed) wood haulers that do likewise with the carpenter shop. Turn off refuse hauling if that dwarf isn't going to be near areas likely to have refuse. This keeps the mine hauler from deciding to walk aaaallll the way over to the kitchens for one load, and then out to the forest for one, and then back to the smelters, and so on.
- Furthermore, you can handpick your specialized hauler, selecting them by their attributes. A wood hauler might be chosen because of his agility, since he might have to walk a lot of tiles to reach the forest, depending on the fortress and map layout. A stone hauler, on the other hand, might be chosen because of his strength so that he can pick up and carry heavy stones (such as gold and platinum) more quickly.
- The Grower profession can have a huge impact on hauling - see farming for a discussion.
To ensure that high-priority hauling tasks (like food, to clean up after get done quickly, you should employ a large number of haulers, and specialize them by having only one or two hauling labors enabled. This is most important for food hauling, where prepared meals in the kitchen often rot while your dwarves are hauling individual seeds left behind after someone eats a plump helmet, or if your hunters bring a herd of animals in for your butchers all at once.
The backlog problem is exacerbated by the fact that the hauling job queue is tied to how many haulers of each type you have; if 100 dwarves have food hauling enabled, up to 100 food hauling tasks can be in the queue, even if those dwarves are busy hauling stone, doing workshop tasks, sleeping, or doing anything else.Verify This is why hauling specialization is so important.
 Two stockpiles are better than one
For stockpiles that use bins or barrels, it is usually better to cut one large stockpile into a handful of smaller ones. This is because dwarves will only load one bin or barrel at a time, and may go idle for long periods while they wait for the next-chosen bin or barrel to actually get hauled to the stockpile before they can load it. By using several smaller stockpiles, haulers can retrieve and fill multiple bins or barrels simultaneously.

Swift: Bytes for Beginners (Part II)
Last time a string was converted into bytes and then transformed from bytes back into a string. Following on from this, I'm going to start by creating two separate byte arrays: let strA = "Hello, " var buffA = [UInt8](strA.utf8) let strB = "playground" var buffB = [UInt8](strB.utf8) Note: I've simplified the construction of the byte arrays (aka buffers) since the last post and created them all on one line. This is thanks to reading this StackOverflow post. Joining byte arrays together Now I'm simply going to join the two byte arrays together. buffA += buffB And the same as last time transform this back into a string. if let a = String.stringWithBytes(buffA, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) { a // returns "Hello, playground" } Reversing a byte array As you can see the byte array is being treated like any other array. Now let's take this a step further and use one of Swift's algorithms to manipulate the array: buffA =
Swift: Bytes for Beginners (Part I)
Talk of buffers and bytes can be quite daunting and before you know it people are wanting you to XOR. But the code that I'm going to post in this series is going to move slowly. First of all we're going to start with a string: var str = "Hello, playground" You should be comfortable with this first of all. Next we're going to create a buffer. Don't run away. A buffer is simply an array. And our buffer is going to be an array of unsigned 8-bit integers: var buff = [UInt8]() Why unsigned 8-bit ints? Well these are the code units that a UTF8-encoded string works with. So that's the only thing we can use for this example. But how do we know the string is UTF8-encoded? It isn't yet, but we're going to extract the utf8 bytes and then append them to our buffer (array) like this: buff += str.utf8 Painless. Next let's transform those bytes back into a string for completeness: String.stringWithBytes(buff, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) A Stri
Pure Swift: Conversion of Cocoa dependent code (Xcode 6 Beta 5)
Original methods (using Cocoa) A week or so ago, I wrote a series of methods for a Gist String extension fork that simply borrowed unthinkingly from the Cocoa Framework: extension String { func splitStringByCharacters() -> [String] { var arr = [String]() self.enumerateSubstringsInRange(Range(start: self.startIndex, end: self.endIndex), options: NSStringEnumerationOptions.ByComposedCharacterSequences, { (substring, substringRange, enclosingRange, bool) -> () in arr.append(substring)}) return arr } func splitStringBySentences() -> [String] { var arr = [String]() self.enumerateSubstringsInRange(Range(start: self.startIndex, end: self.endIndex), options: NSStringEnumerationOptions.BySentences, { (substring, substringRange, enclosingRange, bool) -> () in arr.append(substring)}) return arr } func splitStringByLines() -> [String] { var arr = [String]() self.enumerateSubstringsInRange(Range(start: se
Pure Swift: A little deeper into generics (Xcode 6 Beta 5 and Beta 6)
At the end of the last blogpost I delivered myself a challenge to write a method that could remove duplicates from a String or an Array of any type. And here's progress so far. I'm half way and I'm not sure how much further I can continue without some serious brainwork. This is what I have: func identifyDuplicates(s:seq, contains:(seq, seq.Generator.Element, Int) -> Bool) -> [Int] { var sequence = s var indArr = [Int]() var i = 0 for a in sequence { if contains(sequence,a,i) { indArr.append(i) } i++ } return indArr } This generic method can take an array or a string and can be called respectively: let dupArr = identifyDuplicates([1,2,2,3,4,3,4,4], { (a:[Int], b:Int, c:Int) -> Bool in contains(prefix(a, c),b)}) var str = "Hello, playground" let dupStr = identifyDuplicates(str, {(a:String, b:Character, c:Int) in contain
Pure Swift: My First Generic Method (Xcode 6 Beta 5)
I was thinking about how to transform an Array instance into a Set, where duplicates are removed. And to do this for an Int array was fairly straightforward, func removeDuplicates(array:[Int]) -> [Int] { var arr = array var indArr = [Int]() var tempArr = arr var i = 0 for a in enumerate(arr) { if contains(prefix(arr, a.index), a.element) { indArr.append(a.index) } i++ } var ind = 0 for i in indArr { arr.removeAtIndex(i-ind) ind++ } return arr } but I didn't want to write a new method for every type of Array. I therefore took advantage of generics to write a method that took an Array of items that adopt the Comparable protocol, because that's exactly what we're doing to find duplicates; we're comparing the values of the items to one another. func removeDuplicates(array:[T]) -> [T] { var arr = array var indArr = [I
Pure Swift: A one-line method to add insert functionality to String instances (Xcode 6.3; update for Xcode 7, iOS 9)
This is the third blogpost focusing on writing pure swift methods and extensions. And here's a really simple one to add insert functionality to String instances: extension String { func insert(string:String,ind:Int) -> String { return prefix(self,ind) + string + suffix(self,count(self)-ind) } } "Hello World!".insert("Swift ", ind: 6) Enjoy! Update: 14 April 2015 I wrote this post in the early days of Swift and in fact there's a much easier way of inserting a string called splice(). var aString = "Hello World!" aString.splice("Swift ", atIndex: advance(str.startIndex,6)) So while there are any number of ways that we can approach the insertion of a String without splice, for example using subscripting ( inspired by a StackOverflow post ): extension String { mutating func insert(str:String, atIndex:String.Index) { self = self[Range(start: self.startIndex,end: atIndex)] + str + self[Range(start: atI

Racist crime action 'underfunded'
By Dominic Casciani
BBC News community affairs
Recent graffiti in north London
Action to prevent racist violence and crime is being underfunded and undervalued, according to a new report.
Researchers claim that the government takes race crime seriously but not enough is done to prevent it happening. The Runnymede Trust, a think tank, spent two years studying how British society tries to prevent racism and prejudice.
It warns that debates over integration are ignoring serious and ingrained problems over hate crimes.
Researchers from Runnymede, a body that specialises in studying equality, looked at measures designed to prevent racist crimes taking place.
While public bodies were now working much more closely in targeting racist crimes after they had happened, largely due to the fall-out from the Stephen Lawrence murder, they were still failing to prevent them happening in the first place, the team found.
There needs to be intervention before racist violence happens... if we really want to eliminate racism, we need to work in that soft area, where it hasn't happened yet
A racism mediator, interviewed in the report
Those who were trying to work directly with perpetrators of racism, such as young people convicted of race-related offences, said they found it difficult to gain support for their work, even though it was arguably doing the most to directly challenge prejudices.
Sarah Isal, author of the report, said: "While the government has come to terms since the Lawrence Inquiry that there needs to be better support for victims and more work in bringing to justice perpetrators of racist crimes, there has not been enough of a commitment to prevention."
"All of the good programmes that we have highlighted in our report are good projects, but they need more support and leadership from central government."
Ms Isal said that innovative schemes which had a track record in challenging the underlying prejudices behind racist crimes, particularly arts or theatre-based schemes linked to schools, needed more support.
These subtle but complex projects often did more to generate the debate needed among young people than they were given credit for, she argued.
She added that schemes that attempted direct mediation between victims and perpetrators of racist behaviour were also successful, but often not taken seriously enough.
Lawrence criticisms
Between 2003-04 there were 4,179 prosecutions for racially-aggravated crimes, of which a quarter were assaults or harassment charges. The Crown Prosecution Service recorded a 13% increase in such crimes over the previous year, although it is difficult to say whether this means an increase in the actual number of crimes, or an increase in the numbers of people reporting a crime.
Last week, Doreen Lawrence, speaking to the Observer newspaper, attacked the Home Office's recent work on racism, saying that people within black communities felt that ministers had lost interest in the work called for by the inquiry into her son's killing.
Prejudices: Work targeting racist attitudes undervalued, says report
The Observer reported that a key committee overseeing the recommendations of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry had been disbanded.
The Home Office has declined to confirm this, saying only that it met last month, but its conversations were private.
Responding to the report, Home Office minister Paul Goggins said: "The government deplores all hate crime and considers these kinds of crimes not just an attack on the individual but on the whole of society.
"Our commitment to race equality is as strong as ever and there will be no let-up in our driving forward the improvements still needed.
"Over the next five years the police will improve the way they handle such incidents and promote the reporting of incidents.
"Government, together with the Stephen Lawrence Steering Group, will work to ensure that everyone in Britain has access to an effective racist incident helpline."

LEA Administrators and Data Auditors
Why did some of my employees disappear from the NCEdCloud IAM Service?
If you have staff members in your LEA or charter school who were using accounts in the IAM Service but they no longer show up, the first place to check is typically the payroll system that your LEA or charter school uses. This occasionally happens with 10 and 11 month employees when their work/job Start Dates are not present or not in the upcoming school year in the payroll system.
Why is an employee's email wrong or missing in the NCEdCloud IAM Service?
Employee email address originally came from the HRMS system when NCEdCloud was first set up. However, many PSUs complained that those records were only updated if an employee changed jobs, and frequently had an old email listed. This process was changed a few years ago to obtain employee email address in a specific order by searching 2 or 3 source systems to find staff email address. The process now starts with PowerSchool, then checks LINQ HR (if used by the LEA), and lastly HRMS.
Who can see the "My Students" tab in the IAM Service Profiles view?
The ability to see the "My Students" tab in the Rapid Identity Portal under Profiles view, is based on whether the employee who logs into the IAM Service has one of the designated "Teacher Job Codes". Job Codes are setup by the NCDPI and are assigned to an employee through their payroll system and stored in the UID system. Below are the job codes (sometimes referred to as object codes), that allow an employee to see the My Students tab.
When is the next Home Base maintenance window and how will it affect the NCEdCloud IAM service?
Home Base Maintenance Periods typically involve downtime of PowerSchool and sometimes other Home Base applications. However, during such downtime, other IAM Service integrated applications remain available.
For a complete schedule of Home Base Maintenance Periods, please see... Home Base Maintenance and Support
What are the cutoff times for updated source data to be included in the IAM service the next day?
Upstream data processes produce the user data that is provided to the NCEdCloud IAM service early in the morning on Monday through Saturday. If an updated data field value is entered into that field's source system prior to that source system's cutoff time, then the data is provided to the IAM service the following day. (Note that data is typically NOT provided to the IAM service on Sunday mornings).
What settings in the Chrome browser can affect logins?
There are a couple of Chrome settings that may improve your experience in using the NCEdCloud IAM Service:
 1. 'Continue where I left off' - attempts to re-establish all of your sessions that were open when you closed the browser. This can result in a continuation of a session -ORcan result in some very cryptic errors within the Application. Change this under Settings > On startup
How are elevated privilege roles requested?
The Tech Director/CTO for an LEA or Charter School should be the first person to claim their account and request the LEA Administrator Role. To request a privileged role for others, choose the 'Workflow' button on the left menu and then choose the 'Requests' tab along the top. Select the desired role checkbox(es) (LEA Administrator, LEA Data Auditor, LEA Help Desk, LEA Student Help Desk, School Help Desk, and School Student Help Desk) and click the Submit Requests button.
How do I see a list of employees or students in my LEA?
The My Employees tab or the My Students tab under Profiles in the IAM Service relies on a "Search" function. You need to enter some criteria to select the users you want to lookup. The easiest search is to enter an asterisk * wildcard in the search window and click the Search button. This will only return the first 1000 matching records, however, which is the limit of the query.

These Giant Urban Flowers Bloom When Pedestrians Walk Under Them
HQ Architects have designed a set of giant flowers that bloom and react to pedestrians and transportation.
Located in Vallero Square in the heart of Jerusalem in Israel, the flowers have been installed as part of the municipality's effort to improve the urban space.
The four giant flowers, that are 30 feet tall, have been placed in key positions, enabling them to be viewed from all around the square and the nearby market.
Each of the flowers also provide a sense of movement to the square, as they bloom by inflating themselves when pedestrians walk by, but when there are no people, they close.

Maroon & Maroons
Maroon and Maroons became the University of Chicago's official color and nickname, respectively, at a meeting of students and faculty on May 5, 1894.
Before the University held its first classes on October 1, 1892, the Board of Trustees had selected goldenrod (yellow) as the school's official color. By 1894, however, Chicago's legendary football coach Amos Alonzo Stagg believed that a change was necessary.
"The yellow ran, soiled easily, and had a regrettable symbolism which our opponents might not be above commenting upon," said Stagg in his autobiography, Touchdown!
Because maroon was not already in use by any major school in the Midwest, Stagg and his associate J.E. Raycroft brought a selection of maroon shades to the 1894 meeting of students and faculty. From those ribbons, a choice was made, and the baseball team appeared in that color during its final games of the 1894 season.
On July 21, 1894, the first mention of a U. of C. athletic team as Maroons appeared in the Chicago Tribune in an article about the baseball team.
While Maroons is the official nickname of the University of Chicago's sports teams, the Phoenix – which is featured as part of the University's shield – serves as the school's mascot. The U. of C. Board of Trustees adopted the shield in 1910.

The second level perk of the Dynasty Legacy "Kin" states "Dynasty members get better education". In the game code this is achieved by setting the education variable for the ninth and final roll to success equaling three points and failure equaling two points. In essence the Legacy Perk provides the child a guaranteed two education variable points, with the final Education Roll providing an opportunity to earn one extra point. This Perk means a child will need to have successful Education Rolls on seven of the eight rolls to earn a four star education trait.
Education Trait Level Chances with Level 2 Kin Dynasty Perk
Success (%) 1 2 3 4
50 14.1% 49.2% 32.8% 3.5%

75 0.4% 11.0% 51.9% 36.7%
80 0.1% 5.5% 44.0% 50.3%
Traits factor[edit]
The game bases the education success chance on the Success Factor and the Failure Factor.
The Base Success Factor is 60, and increased by positive traits of the child and the guardian, the education matches with childhood trait, and the attributes of the guardian.
The Base Failure Factor is 40, and increased by negative traits of the child/guardian, the education mismatches the childhood trait, and when he doesn't have a guardian.
The outcome will be the formula below.
or a default 60% chance when there's no additional factors involved.
For instance, a child with the "Genius" congenital trait adds 20 to the Success Factor. Under this circumstance, the Genius trait increases the odds of a successful Education Roll from 60% to 66.6%. The example math is provided below.
A guardian with the intelligence trait of Genius provides a Success Factor of 15. If a genius child (20) is being educated by a genius guardian (15) the chances of a successful Education Roll becomes 70.4%, with the example math provided below.
At the age of 3 each child is assigned a Childhood Trait. If the child's Focus does not match the Trait there is a factor of 20 added to the Failure Factor. For instance, if a child has the trait "Bossy" and the focus is Diplomacy, the child would receive the factor of 20 to Failure Factor. In this circumstance, the chance of a successful Education Roll drops to 50%.
The positive Traits a child and guardian can have that increase the Success Factor are provided in the chart below.
Trait Child Trait Factor Guardian Trait Factor
 Genius 20 15
 Intelligent 15 10
 Quick / Shrewd 10 5
Childhood trait Matching 20 N/A
The negative Traits a child and guardian can have that increase the Failure Factor are provided in the chart below.
Trait Child Trait Factor Guardian Trait Factor
 Slow / Dull 10 5
 Stupid 15 10
 Imbecile 20 15
Childhood trait Not Matching 20 N/A
No Guardian N/A 20
Attributes factor[edit]
The success of the Education Roll is also determined by the guardian's relevant attribute points. The "Primary Attribute" for a guardian (more important attribute) is the one which matches the focus of the child, and is determined by that value times 0.4. A guardian's Diplomacy attribute is part of the Factor for a child with a diplomacy focus. The "Secondary Attribute" is the guardian's Learning, which is multiplied by 0.2. The formula is shown below.
For instance a child with a focus in Diplomacy has a guardian with a 10 Diplomacy Attribute and a 15 Learning Attribute will provide a Success Factor of +7.
Guardian Attribute Quick Math
Guardian Attribute Child Focus Learning Factor
5 2 2 2 2 2 1
10 4 4 4 4 4 2
15 6 6 6 6 6 3
20 8 8 8 8 8 4
25 10 10 10 10 10 5
30 12 12 12 12 12 6
The Education Roll bonus provided by guardians with congenital traits of Genius, Intelligent and Quick (or the non-congenital Shrewd) are significantly more important than the attributes of the guardian alone. Under these circumstances an "underachieving" Genius guardian can provide equal value with a character with amazing stats.
Therefore the most important factors when choosing a guardian are:
 1. Someone you trust not to kill your child
 2. Genius
 3. Intelligent
 4. Quick / Shrewd
 5. Value of Primary Attribute (which matches child's focus)
 6. Learning Attribute
A Genius guardian with 5 Diplomacy and Learning Attributes will provide a Factor of +18 (15 + 2 + 1) and successful Education Roll chance of 66% on a average child, while a guardian with 30 Diplomacy and 30 Learning Attributes will provide a Factor of +18 (12 + 6) and successful Education Roll chance of 66%.

Guardian 1 Genius 5 4 2 3 5

Prowess trait[edit]
Children undergoing a Martial education can also receive a Prowess education trait when they come of age. To qualify, the child's culture or the educator's culture[6] must have the Knighthood innovation and the child must be of a gender that can become knights. The system that determines which Prowess trait the child gets is completely separate from the other education traits. The perks, spouse or universities don't influence the outcome.
When the child finishes their education, the game creates a temporary score for them, which starts equal to the Martial education level they obtained. Then, the game changes this score depending on the child's physical traits (multiple traits stack):
Trait Prowess Factor
 Herculean +3
 Robust, Strong, Giant +2
 Hale +1
 Delicate, Spindly, Wheezing, Hunchbacked, Inbred, Bleeder -1
 Frail, Weak, Dwarf -2
 Feeble -3
Lastly, there's a 25% chance the score increases +2, 25% chance it decreases by -2, and 50% chance it stays unchanged.
The final score is then the child's Prowess education level.
Each character in the game has a hidden "weight" value which ranges from -100 to 100. If your weight is -50 or below, you gain the Malnourished modifier, and the "Gain Weight" decision becomes available to you. If your weight is 50 or above, you gain the Obese modifier, and the "Lose Weight" decision becomes available to you.[7] Being obese or malnourished gives −1 Health.
In addition to a character's current weight, each character also has a hidden "target weight" value, based mostly on traits, which is the weight they are drifting toward. Every year, your real weight will drift closer to your target weight. When you feast, your target weight[8] increases by 7[9], and when you hunt, your target weight[10] decreases by 4[11]. Afterward, your weight will eventually drift back toward your target weight. The "Lose Weight" decision decreases your target weight, and the "Gain Weight" decision adds to your target weight. Ending those decisions brings your target weight back to what it was before.
Switching to a Martial lifestyle will move your target weight closer to 0 (so that if you are underweight, your target weight will increase somewhat, and if you are overweight, your target weight will decrease somewhat). Being a Novice Hunter, Hunter, or Master Hunter, will also move your target weight closer to 0 by successive amounts.
The following traits and events also affect a character's target weight:[7]
Effect on target weight Traits / Events
Large increase Gluttonous, Lazy, Comfort Eater, "Gain weight" decision
Moderate increase Drunkard, Hashishiyah, Gregarious, Greedy, Calm, Trusting, Legendary Reveler
Slight increase Patient, Arrogant, Ambitious, Eager Reveler, Famous Reveler
Slight decrease Shy, Humble, Zealous, Craven, Temperate
Moderate decrease Imprisoned, Diligent, Wrathful, Leper, Impatient, Content, Fickle, Vengeful, Generous
Large decrease Consumption, Cancer


text: A great way to view and edit properties in an outline tree is column view. In column view, each outline node is turned into a table row. Columns in this table provide access to properties of the entries. Org mode implements columns by overlaying a tabular structure over the headline of each item. While the headlines have been turned into a table row, you can still change the visibility of the outline tree. For example, you get a compact table by switching to CONTENTS view (S- S-, or simply c while column view is active), but you can still open, read, and edit the entry below each headline. Or, you can switch to column view after executing a sparse tree command and in this way get a table only for the selected items. Column view also works in agenda buffers (see Agenda Views) where queries have collected selected items, possibly from a number of files.

Consuming an ASP.NET Web Service from Salesforce Apex Callouts
Salesforces wsdl2apex can be a bit basic in what is supports (see Supported WSDL Features).
Steps for consuming an ASP.NET web service from Apex.
 1. Add the Web service host to the Remote Sites.
 Adminitraction Setup > Security Controls > Remote Site Settings
 Skipping this step will result in a "System.CalloutException: IO Exception: Unauthorized endpoint, please check Setup->Security->Remote site settings. endpoint ="...
 2. Export the WSDL from the ASP.NET web service
 3. Optionally, you might like to sort the WSDL. The idea is to ensure wsdl2apex produces the same elements in the same order for future code comparisons.
 4. Import the WSDL into Salesforce
 Develop > Apex Classes > Generate from WSDL*
 5. Define a Apex class name
 6. Test the new Apex class using Execute Anonymous in Eclipse. With a ASP.NET generated web service I found the class I defined in the previous step had a nested class corresponding to the binding name from the uploaded WSDL. The nested class had a method that corresponded to the web method (the operation in the WSDL).
 7. Optionally, search the generated class for calls to WebServiceCallout.invoke(...). This will currently cause test cases to abort silently (except for a log message) and you may not notice. Sprinkle the code with a liberal amount of Test.isRunningTest().
*Common WSDL parsing errors:
 1. If the Parse WSDL button produces Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Found more than one wsdl:binding. WSDL with multiple binding not supported Deleting the second element what contains soap12 elements and the corresponding port definition under .
 2. wsdl:import
 Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Unknown element: import
 Locate the import elements in the current WSDL. E.g.. Pull that WSDL down and merge its contents into the parent WSDL.
 3. xsd:import
 Failed to parse wsdl: Found schema import from location External schema import not supported
 These will typically appear under . Copy the contents of the import under and remove the . See also: Discussion Forum: Referencing external schemas in a WSDL
 4. Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Failed to parse WSDL: Unable to find binding {}BasicHttpBinding_IWebService. Found BasicHttpBinding_IWebService instead.
 The had the attribute xmlns:i0="". i0: was being used as the namespace for the binding. Switching it to tns: resolved the issue.
 5. Error: Failed to parse wsdl: schema:targetNamespace can not be null
 In this case I needed to add a targetNamespace attribute and value to the element. E.g. becomes
 6. Apex Generation Failed:
 Unable to find schema for element; {}ArrayOfstring
 Unable to find schema for element; {}ArrayOflong
 In this case I'd initially made a mistake when pulling in the xsd for these complex types. I corrected it by putting the complex type definitions within a element in wsdl:type section.
 7. Error: wwwExampleComApi
 Error: Identifier name is reserved: long at 191:23
 This error was caused by the ArrayOflong type generating the following Apex:
 public class ArrayOflong {
 public Long[] long;
 private String[] long_type_info = new String[]{'long','','long','0','-1','false'};
 private String[] apex_schema_type_info = new String[]{'','false','false'};
 private String[] field_order_type_info = new String[]{'long'};
 Possible fix:
 public class ArrayOflong {
 public Long[] long_x; // Note the _x suffix to avoid the conflict
 // The first parameter here is what will appear in the SOAP message as the element name
 private String[] field_order_type_info = new String[]{'long_x'};
 8. Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Unsupported Schema element found At: 1866:57
 The WSDL had three "attribute" elements:
 -
 -
 -
 Commenting these out of the WSDL allowed into to be used with wsdl2apex. I'm not sure what adverse effects resulted from removing them.
 9. The use of in a complex type won't result in the base class fields appearing in generated Apex class.
 Try copying the fields from Apex class that was being extended into the sub class.

 1. hi
 i got unable to find schema for element.
 how can i solve this problem
 2. Hello Daniel,
 I am getting the following error, let me know if you have any solution for this
 Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Unable to find schema for element; {}schema
 Thanks in advance!!
 1. Hi Arish,
 Most likely your WSDL contains a "schema" element. Have a look at the Supported WSDL Features of WSDL2Apex.
 3. Thanks for the post. Helped a lot in generating my first apex class from.net wsdl file. I have a query.
 Along with the wsdl file, I have been provided with a dll(Miscrosoft.ServiceBus.dll) file which has some bindings to be used. I haven't used this to generate the code. When I try to get the output, I get the following error:
 Cannot send message because the service endpoint hosted at the specified address uses a binding that cannot be accessed over HTTP.
 So, how do I use this dll file and bind it to the WSDL file to generate the apex class? The binding need to be included in the generated class also.
 Please let me know.
 1. Hi "Man"ish,
 You won't be able to utilise a.NET DLL directly in Salesforce apex.
 If I had to guess from the error message you will probably need to use https rather than http.
 Try changing the endpoint_x in the wsdl2apex generated class.
 Failing that, see if you can get a sample SOAP message from a valid call to the web service and compare that to what Salesforce is generating.
 4. Hi,
 I am getting this error. Can someone tell why is this happening and how to fix this?
 Apex Generation Failed
 Unsupported WSDL. Found more than one part for message setCurrentScopeById
 1. Have a look at The WSDL most likely contains multi-part messages. You may be able to manually manipulate the WSDL to still import it with wsdl2apex.
 5. hey..
 i am getting an error
 Apex Generation Failed
 Unable to find schema for element; {}double
 so cud u plz give ant solution..
 although i have gone thru ol the supported wsdl constructs..yet not able to import even a single external wsdl file...
 here is my document plz have a look
 1. It's hard to day without seeing the schema. The schema link you provided is for a binary download, which I'm not game to try because of the potential security risk. would be a good place to post the question and the problem schema details.
 6. Nice post. what will you advice for a requirement implemented using 'Outbound Messages' which ensures of retrying and delivering the message.
 However how to handle and show the error on SF GUI thats sent by external system, due to some data error (as data is not saved in external system), As this failure is data error, outbound monitor message shall not retry to send.Any advice will help.
 1. When you are processing the outbound message you can get the Salesforce Session ID and ServerURL. You can use these to write data back to Salesforce. This could include any problem records that need manual follow up.

Nuclear Science and Engineering / Volume 144 / Number 3 / July 2003 / Pages 200-210
A new numerical method for computing first-flight collision, escape, and transmission probabilities in three dimensions is described. The method consists of subdividing the domain into parts called elements and assuming, as an approximation, that the interaction between a source element and a sink element takes place only along the path that joins their centers of mass. The calculation is repeated with the number of elements increased successively and Richardson extrapolation to an infinite number of elements applied to the sequence of results until convergence to the desired degree of accuracy is attained. Solutions to some test problems indicate that, in general, four steps of repeated Richardson extrapolation are sufficient to yield results with an accuracy comparable to that of existing codes.


exact center of the top of the barrel.
 4. Take the engine block and hot glue it to the front of the barrel (over the words).
 5. Take red spray paint (a redish-maroon would work best) and spray the barrel and engine block.
 6. While waiting for that paint to dry, take the angled two PVC pieces and the two plastic covers.
 7. Cut holes in the centers of the plastic covers so that the PVC pieces will fit in snugly.
 8. Take the PVC pieces out and cut the outer edge of the plastic covers so that they can fit flat against the inside of the flashlight covers.
 9. Glue one plastic cover to each flashlight cover.
 10. Spray-paint both of them white.
 11. If your doll hands aren't white, spray paint them white too.
 12. While you wait for that paint to dry, take the Slinkys and PVC pieces.
 13. Attach each Slinky to a PVC piece. You can either risk using hot glue (this might gum-up the Slinky) or put sticky foil (as used for stained glass) on the end of the PVC and solder the Slinky to the PVC pipe. (I chose solder.) It's helpful to have someone assist with this step.)
 14. Take 1" pieces of wire and solder or glue them in a small loop to the top of each place where the Slinkys are connected to the PVC pieces.
 15. Drill a small hole in the upper wrist of each of the hands.
 16. Hot glue the hands to the Slinkys.
 17. In order to keep the Slinky from stretching all over the place during assembly, take some Scotch tape and tape it closed.
 18. Place the ends of each PVC arms into the hole in the shoulder assembly.
 19. Push the shoulder pieces down the arms to the curve in the PVC.
 20. Hot glue the PVC pieces to the barrel over the arm holes.
 21. Push the shoulder piece back up into place so it's as close as you can get it against the body.
 22. Hot glue the shoulder to the body.
 23. Touch up each point of exposed hot glue with white (or red) paint to keep it from showing.
 24. Paint the center part of the engine block silver. (The little knobs)
 25. Paint the tips of the engine block black.
 26. Drill three holes into the bowl that's used for his butt. The holes should be at 120 degrees to each other on the edge of the hole.
 27. With the barrel upside-down and the bowl on top, drill holes in the exact same positions on the bottom of the barrel.
 28. Using nuts and bolts, screw the bowl to the barrel.
 29. Stand back and admire Tom Servo's body!!! (Put his head on top for the complete effect...)
Step 4: Tom's Inner Secrets
 The Arms:
 1. Take two long sections of strong fishing line and tie each piece to the small holes you drilled in the upper wrist of each hand.
 2. Thread the fishing lines through the center of the Slinkys and through the wire loops which are attached to the PVC pipes.
 3. Thread both of the fishing line sections into the arm holes in the barrel.
 4. Tie both lines onto the plastic loop.
 This loop is what you can pull to make his arms flap. Releasing the loop will make his arms loose and floppy. Pulling it tight will make the arms stay tight. It's best to get the lines the correct length so that you can just put the loop over one of the screws in the inside of the bowl. When the loop is being held by one of the screws, his arms should be held tight in "display position".
 The Head:
 5. Take the 1.5 foot PVC pipe (as shown in the picture above with my hand) and place it inside the barrel with the female screw end at the top.
 6. Take the PVC connector (as shown in the picture with the thumb) and screw it through the neck hole and into the pipe in the barrel.
 You should now be able to use the pipe inside to turn the connector on the top. Servo's head will go on top of the connector.
 7. Fit the head on the connector piece.
 (WARNING! This is NOT as easy as it seems!) You'll still want the mouth to open and close. The connector piece will have to be melted and cut down on one side to allow the head to fit on straight AND to allow the mouth to move. There are no real exact measurements. You'll just have to cut away the connector piece so that the head fits.
 8. Attach Velcro to the inside of the head and the edges of the connector. This will allow you to easily remove the head if you want...but yet keep the head attached when it should be.
 9. In the inside of the far up as you can go, glue a small screw eye.
 10. Leaving the spring on the mouth, tie fishing line from the mouth, through the screw eye, and down the tube in the body.
 11. Place the head on the body.
 12. Tie the end of the fishing line which comes out the bottom to another plastic loop.
 This will control Servo's mouth. Pulling the loop will open his mouth. Releasing pressure will close it. All this can even happen while his head turns around 360 degrees!
PS: My Tom Servo is not for sale.
You can ask questions...but since this site has been unsupported for over two years, you will most likely be ignored. (Nothing personal, but I mean MST3K has been cancelled and we've moved on with our lives.)
Please don't ask where I found the parts. If they're easy to find, I already said so above. If they're hard to find, then I don't know where you can get them. (No...I don't know where you can get a barrel! Stop asking! ARRRGH!)

An Expert Explains Why Your Hair Gets Greasy Overnight and What to Do About It
Do you fall asleep with freshly-washed strands only to wake up to them being oily in the morning? Are you struggling to understand why hair gets greasy overnight? This incredibly frustrating problem is all too common for some.
Kate Holden, consultant trichologist, has some answers and advice for you. The founder of Kate Holden Clinic in Manchester can tell you why your hair gets greasy when you sleep and what you should do about it.
Keep scrolling to read what she had to say!
Why does hair get greasy overnight?
"Our hair gets greasy when there is a build up of a natural oil on the scalp called sebum," Kate shares. "Sebum is produced by our sebaceous glands and functions to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair, which is essential for maintaining a healthy hair and scalp. Our sebaceous glands are working all the time. But if you're noticing that your hair gets greasy overnight, that indicates that your glands may be overactive or you need to adjust your haircare routine."
There is also a laundry list of more common reasons for this problem. An increase in extra oil can be caused by "hormones (think puberty, periods and menopause), diet, genetics, medications, changes in the environment, and your haircare routine."
Sleeping habits can often be to blame for greasy hair. This is especially true "if you're not washing your pillowcases often enough."
There are also a number of ways your hair washing routine contributes to extra oil production.
"How you wash your hair can definitely contribute to an oily scalp," Kate says. "Washing your hair too often can cause your scalp to overproduce sebum. Not washing your hair enough will cause a buildup. Washing your hair two to three times per week is recommended to get a good balance."
You should even be weary of how hot the water is.
"Washing your hair in hot water also stimulates the sebaceous glands, so turn the temperature down on your shower to prevent this," Kate notes.
And though it feels amazing, Kate mentions massaging your hair for too long can contribute to oily strands.
"Massaging the scalp can activate the sebaceous glands too so try not to massage for longer than one minute," she notes.

Could it be a sign of a major underlying condition?
Kate assures us that "most of the time, greasy hair is nothing to worry about." There is one instance, however, when it should raise a bit of concern.
"If you are dealing with greasy hair every day, no matter what you try, then it might be a symptom of an underlying hormone imbalance such as PCOS. If you are worried that your greasy hair is a symptom of a medical condition, speak to your general practitioner, trichologist, or dermatologist."
What can you do to prevent hair from getting greasy overnight?
Luckily, there are a number of things you can do to decrease overnight oil production.
"I would recommend avoiding hot showers or baths before bed; using a shampoo designed for greasy hair; applying dry shampoo to the roots; tying your hair up to prevent the sebum traveling down the hair shaft; and making sure you're washing your pillowcases regularly to prevent buildup of grime and sweat," Kate shares.
Kate also recommends a few products that'll help with yoru problem.
"When you're looking for a clarifying shampoo, you need a stronger surfactant (cleaner) to remove the oil from the hair and scalp," she says. "In terms of dry shampoo, Batiste is my usual go-to. If you find aerosol-based dry shampoos too drying, you can get them in powder form. For example Lush does a powder dry shampoo. When you tie your hair up at night, I'd recommend a soft scrunchie, fabric hair tie, or head scarf to reduce friction on the hair shaft."
It's also important to look at your diet as a cause for excess oil production.
"If you have a diet which is high in refined carbs and saturated fats, then this might be contributing to your greasy hair," Kate mentions. "Swap out the refined carbs to wholegrain and the saturated fats with unsaturated fats. Also, make sure you're eating lots of fruits and vegetables."
After making these changes, you should quickly notice your hair being less greasy when you wake up. If the problem does persist, be sure to reach out to a professional.

Step 6: Mount the Servos, Battery, and Arduino
Picture of Mount the Servos, Battery, and Arduino
Zip ties are used to mount the various electronic components.
The motors were attached to the mounting plate first by using some rubber cement (optional) to keep them in place, and wrapping and tightening them as much as possible with the zip ties.
Note that most of the ties thread through the space between the mounting plate and the shoe. As my zip ties weren't long enough in some areas, I combined two together. After the servos were in place, I trimmed down the ties.
Beneath the motors, the battery case is mounted in much the same way, power switch outward.
Finally, the Arduino board can be attached. The holes line up with zip ties on both side, and is held in place by screws attached to them.
Before attaching the Motor shield, some modifications must be made.


TWS105 - Troubleshooting - Can't adjust volume
Keywords: TWS105, true wireless, can't adjust, volume
TWS105 does not design with volume control, so you can only adjust volume on the connected device.
-For Cell Phones
You can adjust volume from the volume control on your cell phone
- For PC or tablet
You can adjust volume from the volume control in the PC(or tablet)'s task bar or music / video player application.
- For transmitter
 - If the transmitter supports volume control itself, you can adjust volume on the transmitter, such as Avantree Oasis.
 - If the transmitter does not support volume control itself, you need to adjust volume on the audio source(for example: if your transmitter connect to your TV, you can adjust the TV's volume).

Recently in a seminar someone mentioned that monotone maps are equivalent to gradients of scalar convex functions, but it's not clear to me why this is true. One direction of the equivalence is straightforward but the other is not (as far as I can tell).
Definition. A map $F:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ is monotone on a convex set $C$ if $$(y-x)^T(F(y)-F(x))\ge0$$ for all $x,y \in C$.
One direction of the equivalence:
Prop. Let $f:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be convex and sufficiently differentiable. Then $\nabla f$ is monotone.
Pf. Convex differentiable functions satisfy $$f(y) \ge f(x) + \nabla f(x)(y-x).$$
By choosing the points in reverse, we also have, $$f(x) \ge f(y) + \nabla f(y)(x-y).$$ Add these inequalities and rearrange to get $(\nabla f(y)-\nabla f(x))(y-x) \ge 0$.∎
Now the other direction:
Prop. Let $F:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ be monotone and sufficiently differentiable. Then there exists a convex function $f:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $F=\nabla f$.
Pf.???
It seems like this should be easy, but I'm stuck and google/wikipedia have been of little help. I'm actually starting to doubt whether it is true.

By "sufficiently differentiable", I believe you mean that the gradient exists? You assume nothing else... I think you really need more precise conditions to know what happens next, but I'm not confident about the truth behind this result. – Patrick Da Silva Feb 21 '12 at 19:26
The obvious thing to try would be $f(x) = \int_0^1 F(xt) \, dt$. A simple computation shows that $\nabla f = F$. Then maybe the monotonicity of $F$ can be used to show that $f$ is convex? – Jeff Feb 21 '12 at 20:06
_USER_ The point was to allow anyone answering to use as many derivatives as needed. I don't think it even needs a single derivative though so long as the gradient is generalized to an element of the subderivative, but this is not really important to me so feel free to assume it is smooth. – Nick Alger Feb 21 '12 at 20:28
_USER_ Yeah, so for 1D that's totally right. But does it also hold for higher dimensions? This line of thought makes me think the result may be related to the subject of integrable systems. – Nick Alger Feb 21 '12 at 20:30
Not all fields $F$ are gradients. If $F=(F_1,\dots,F_n)$ is $C^1$, a necessary condition for $F$ to be a gradient is that $\partial F_i/\partial x_j=\partial F_j/\partial x_i$for $1\le i


text: ||The application of Rubbersoil-Primer to fill slope protection against rainfall infiltration was first initiated in 2004. The engineering properties of Rubbersoil-SB, Rubbersoil-LGM and Rubbersoil-Primer were studied by the former researcher and the capability of Rubbersoils in protecting loose fill slopes were justified by the rainfall model test and a full scale field test in Sau Kei Wan. This thesis serves as a continuation to investigate the function of Rubbersoil-Primer as an interface material for controlling the hydraulic conditions of loose fill slopes and the engineering properties of a new Rubbersoil ------ Rubbersoil-Impermeable Primer were investigated in this thesis. The mechanical and hydraulic properties of Rubbersoil-Primer and Rubbersoil-Impermeable Primer ranging from unconfined compressive strength, saturated and unsaturated permeability, soil water characteristics to confined and unconfined shrinkage were studied by a series of laboratory tests. The performances of Rubbersoil fill slope under hypothetical and real rainfall condition were examined by the rainfall model test, numerical simulation and a full scale field test in Tuen Mun. In light of the fact that the soil-water characteristic (SWCC) measures the water storage capacity of the soil under a given soil suction and it is an essential hydraulic parameter for computing transient seepage in unsaturated soils, an indirect and a direct test making use of MIP (mercury intrusion porosiometry) and modified pressure plate were conducted to determine the SWCC of Rubbersoil-Primer of various densities. The measured SWCC together with the generated permeability functions were used as an input parameters for simulating the transient seepage analysis. Parametric study on the influences of the density and the thickness of Rubbersoil-Primer, the angle of slope inclination and the rainfall pattern on the pore water pressure distribution were performed. The numerical simulation results show that the matric suction of the loose fill soil can be maintained with the use of Rubbersoil-Primer over the density range from 1300 kg/m3 to 1700 kg/m3 and the pore water pressure distribution is found to be insensitive to the thickness of Rubbersoil-Primer. The numerical modeling results suggest that there is a room for reduction to the original design density and thickness of Rubbersoil-Primer..It is also found that there is no significant change in the pore water pressure distribution with respect to the change in the fill slope inclination and the matric suction of the fill soil is maintained under a 10 hour black rain event as well as a real rainfall event which triggered the 1976 Sau Mau Ping landslide. The capability of Rubbersoil-Primer in protecting fill slope under rainfall infiltration was also assured by the physical rainfall model test and the full scale field test. The matric suction of the loose fill soil was maintained over a 2 hour intense rainfall in the rainfall model test. The lateral and vertical settlements of the fill slope in Tuen Mun Ching Lung Nursery over 1 year monitoring period were also found to be far below the alert level.
