Healthy planning policy and monitoring in Southwark and Lambeth
Built environment professionals are increasingly interested in the relationship between places and health. Many guidance documents are available to inform planning policy-makers of the importance of planning and health, yet there remains uncertainty about exactly 'what works' with regard to specific design and policy measures. In part, this has been explained by a lack of clear causal evidence to inform practice. However competing policy priorities and differing cultures of practice and evidence use across health and planning also play a role.
Despite these challenges, there is a growing desire to integrate design and planning measures which are known to support health and wellbeing into policies and projects. Planners want to know what has worked elsewhere and what evidence can be used to support local policies.
The research focused on three key health themes in Southwark and Lambeth which are widely relevant in the UK and internationally: social isolation, obesity (physical activity/healthy eating) and access to health services. Like many aspects of the urban environment's impact on health, there are many interconnections across these topic areas. The findings from academic research, consultation activities and policy examples often do not correspond to separate policy domains because of these overlaps. This is particularly notable with two of the focus areas for this review – social isolation and physical activity – which are both influenced by similar characteristics of the urban environment. In some ways, this is an advantage because policies can have multiple co-benefits. For example, increasing walkability through urban design may improve physical activity, increase social engagement and reduce local carbon emissions.
Planning policies alone will not address complex health issues like social isolation and obesity. As is often the case in urban planning and public health, officers will need to work across departments in the council and with other public and private stakeholders to integrate built environment solutions with other health promotion measures. Furthermore, solutions from one neighbourhood or research study may not be applicable more widely, depending on local context. There is great value in engaging local communities to explore their views of local problems and assets. This can ensure that policies and design measures respond to local needs, resulting in better outcomes.

Harriet Barber House
In 1872 Samuel Barber and his wife Harriet, both former slaves, bought 42.5 acres here from the S.C. Land Commission. Barber, a well-digger as a slave, was a farmer and minister after the Civil War. The Barber family has owned a major portion of this tract since Samuel and Harriet Barber purchased it in 1872. This one-story frame house was built c. 1880. The Barbers' son, Rev. John B. Barber, inherited the property in 1899. He was a schoolteacher and pastor of St. Mark and New Light Beulah Baptist churches.

From Ohio History Central
Lydia Moulton was an early settler of Marietta, Ohio. A group of real estate speculators, the Ohio Company of Associates, founded Marietta, originally known as Adelphia, in 1788.
Moulton was born on February 11, 1757, in Newbury (sometimes reported as Newburyport), Massachusetts. Moulton's father, William Moulton, was a gold and silversmith. In 1762, he moved his family to Hempstead, New Hampshire, where he diversified his business interests, becoming an extensive landholder, as well as continuing his work with silver and gold.
In 1788, William Moulton moved to Marietta. His wife Lydia, his daughters Lydia and Anna, and his son Enoch (sometimes reported as Edmond) joined him there in 1789. Here, Moulton continued his employment as a silver and goldsmith. By this time, he also had taught his daughter Lydia the trade. At this time, it was almost unheard of for a woman to know a formal trade. Lydia, however, proved herself to be a skilled craftsperson, and this father and daughter provided residents of what is now southeastern Ohio with numerous products, primarily eating utensils. These two smiths traveled by wagon selling their wares.
At this point in time, Marietta was still part of the frontier. Residents in this portion of the United States were struggling to create homes and ordered lives in the West. Craftspeople like William and Lydia Moulton helped residents of the Northwest Territory acquire needed equipment, as well as the finer necessities of life, bringing European culture to the frontier.

One of the historical costs of paving has been the labor and material expenses to stake out the jobsite with pins and stringlines. This is an estimated expense of $1 per linear foot. If you begin utilizing Leica's 3D stringless paving, you can eliminate the pins, string, and most of the labor associated with setting them. Is it a good investment? Take a look at a real paving example below:
- Existing Job – Paving an 11-mile, 4-lane divided highway. This means you are paving 22 miles and setting 6 stringline set-ups with ramps.
- Setting stringline for a total of 696,960 linear feet.
- Estimated cost per linear foot for stringline is $1.00.
- Total estimated cost for setting stringline for ONE job is nearly $700,000.
For the cost of setting the stringline for one project, you can easily purchase, have installed and be trained on two mainline paving systems and have money left over. You will also be able to continually reuse the systems, reducing costs for future jobs.
There are also additional benefits to going stringless that should be considered that can positively impact your financials:
- Increase jobsite safety
- Improve project logistics
- Reduce time to complete the job
- Potentially a better ride quality
- Potential to obtain a higher percent of smooth-ride bonus
- Reduce material waste

Bosma (1978, 1981b) and Carignan et al. (1990) found a trend for the gas distribution to have the same shape as DM distribution. This correlation between gas and DM is puzzling and if real, has no easy explanation in the light of present CDM models. Not only is there a general trend, but several individual features found in the rotation curve seems to correspond to features in gas circular velocity. This can be observed in Fig. 2 for NGC 1560 and Fig. 8 for NGC 2460.
This fact has inspired a theory (commented in section 3.1), identifying the dark matter with an as yet undetected dark gas. The magnetic hypothesis would provide another explanation, as the rotation curve is due in part to magnetic fields, which are generated by gas. A direct relation is not obvious when very extended curves are obtained (Corbelli and Salucci, 1999). Bosma (1998) himself states that this relation may not be correct.

Sunflower is collecting...
POP TABS for Ronald McDonald Houses
Collecting pop tabs helps Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) pay the bills so moms and dads need not worry about where to stay while their children are in the hospital. The program is an easy way for people of all ages to support RMHC and make a difference for families and children.
Why pop tabs?
Pop tabs are small, making them easy to collect and store. It's amazing how something so small can make a difference. Last year, friends of RMHC pulled pop tabs and raised thousands of dollars to help children and their families.
Why not the entire can?
Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because it's more hygenic to store tabs than cans, and collection and storage is easier. The pop tab is pure aluminum, but the can contains paint and other residue.
Pop tabs remind us of an important lesson: even little things make a big difference.
Where do I deposit the pop tabs?
Deposit collected pop tabs in the collection container outside the front office at Sunflower.
Fun Facts
Pop Tab Measurement Equivalents
1 inch = 1 pop tab
1 foot = 12 pop tabs
1 pound = 1,267 pop tabs

Nur Khan rendered colossal services for the uplift of national sports of hockey, cricket and squash and enabled Pakistan to reach the pinnacle. Under his tenure as hockey chief, Pakistan won two Olympics, World Cup and Champions Trophy titles with later two tournaments being his own brainchild apart from many new innovations to uplift these sports from decline and decadence. When he became chairman PCB (then BCCP) in February 1980, he made the Asia Cup an enduring reality and introduced neutral umpiring in cricket matches.
He also played a pivotal role in bringing the Cricket World Cup to the subcontinent for the first time. When Nur Khan took over the responsibility of reviving squash in the country, the game saw its zenith. His revolutionary steps for the uplift of the game included introduction of talent hunt scheme which paid dividends and produced a surfeit of world class Pakistan players in the 70s: Qamar Zaman, Gogi Allauddin, Hidayat Jahan, Mohibullah Khan Junior and others. ln 1975, his efforts bore fruit as Qamar Zaman brought back the British Open title to Pakistan after 12 years. He during his short stints as Minister of Education and Governor of West Pakistan made all endeavours to promote education and improve the social fibre of the nation.
Pakistan's squash greats Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan were discovered by the PIA when air marshal had the administrative reins of the national career. An ace fighter pilot, a visionary commander and an epitome a leader, Air Marshal Nur Khan emerged on the global landscape a true icon, a legend and a national hero.

Written by Gil Fronsdal and adapted by Evan Kavanagh
- Can include music, flower bearers and flower scattering
- Are there important friends or family members who enter before or with the couple?
- The altar can represent the couple's spiritual values (Buddha, Dharma, Nature, God, Creation, etc.)
- Officiant welcomes everyone and talks about why everyone is gathered. This might be the time for a talk on marriage/commitment and the role of the community in supporting their partnership
Short meditation or period of silence
- Perhaps having people reflect on their wishes and feelings for the couple being joined. Or perhaps doing loving-kindness/metta meditation
Refuges and Precepts
- These are usually done in a Buddhist ceremonyrepeated after the officiant. Some couples will re-write the refuges and precepts in their own language. When something close to the traditional refuges and precepts are used, this is the heart of what makes the ceremony Buddhist
- In a wider sense, this part of the ceremony can be a statement of how the couple intends to live their lives spirituallyby what values
Poetry and song
- Offered by one or both people being married, and/or by friends and family
- This is one way to involve loved ones in the ceremony
Exchange of vows and rings
- Alternatives or additions to exchanging rings could be exchanging malas (Buddhist prayer beads) or Tibetan blessing scarves.
- There are many different opportunities here to make commitments or undertake the Buddhist Precepts together
- Could include statement of undertaking to use relationship as practice to reveal the underlying spiritual qualities of life together
Pronouncement of union
- Officiant pronounces partnership
- Blessings or well wishes from family and friends
- Another opportunity to include community and family
- Might include asking people who have something in their relationship you admire to offer that quality to you as a blessing
Blessing from officiant
- This may include short metta meditation, sprinkling with holy water, blessing cord, etc.
- Other possible elements: chanting, ringing of bells, noisemakers, prayer flags for everyone, etc.
- Provides a concrete ending to the ceremony – especially important if reception is being held in same location
- It is often a good idea to have the couple exit before the guests and, if it is going to be a legal wedding, to immediately go to a private location with witnesses to sign the marriage license (which the couple provides). It could be hard to gather people together and the signing is more anti-climatic later.

KUWAIT CITY, Sept 28: Ministry of Education and Higher Education became the gateway for fake certificates due to lack of scrutiny about the sources of certificates, reports Al-Shahed daily.
The daily quoting sources said the Ministry of Higher Education depends on the Cultural Office to endorse certificates, although the latter's routine task does not allow for scrutinizing the content of certificates.
They added the Ministry of Education and Higher Education endorses Medicine and Engineering certificates issued by universities in countries that have no cultural offices in Kuwait, leading to infiltration of the job market with fake certificates. Sources pointed to expatriate teachers flooding the Ministry of Education without necessary approval due to widespread influence (wasta) and favoritism. They stated many reasons for appointing such teachers, including low salaries.
They reiterated the committee formed by the Minister of Education and Higher Education Dr Bader Al-Essa to investigate fake certificates was merely a routine procedure, indicating no positive result came out of its activities due to the interference of some politicians and influence.


DEFINITION of 'Spreadlock'
An agreement that establishes a predetermined spread for future interest rate swaps. A spreadlock is a credit derivative created as either a forward contract or an option. With a spreadlock, an investor can lock in a current spread between a swap and an underlying government bond yield and transfer the basis points forward to the time when the swap is entered into.
Spreadlocks have been an option for certain investors since the 1980s. A forward spreadlock allows for a definitive addition of a set number of basis points on top of the existing spread in the underlying swap. With a spreadlock through an option contract, the buyer of the contract can decide whether or not to make the swap effective.

Delivered Source Instruction
(DSI) One line of source code (LOC) developed by a project.DSI is the primary input to many tools for estimating software cost. The term "delivered" is generally meant to exclude non-delivered support software such as test drivers. However, if these are developed with the same care as delivered software, with their own reviews, test plans, documentation, etc., then they should be counted. The "source instructions" include all program instructions created by project personnel and processed into machine code by some combination of preprocessors, compilers, and assemblers. It excludes comments and unmodified utility software. It includes job control language, format statements, and data declarations.

pen and ink drawing of religious figure carrying cross, drawing repeated twice
Paolo Veronese (1528–88)
Studies for Christ Carrying the Cross
c. 1571
Pen and gray-brown ink and wash
Samuel Courtauld Trust: Princes Gate Bequest, 1978
Many of Veronese's drawings are in pen and ink and were made to assist the artist in developing his compositions. This example is related to a painting of Christ carrying the Cross and records two ideas for the central scene of Christ and his tormentors. Figures and compositions almost merge into one another, conveying a sense of the excitement and speed with which the artist worked.

Can I Give My Dog Beano?
Can I Give My Dog Beano?If your dog often has a bad case of gas, you may be hoping that Beano can work for them. But is it really something that can also work effectively and safely for dogs?
In contrast, gas in humans is usually easily explainable. We tend to eat a lot of different foods on a daily basis. We also know which foods give us gas and which ones don't. People successfully take a Beano dose prior to eating things like cruciferous vegetables which can include broccoli or cauliflower. With a dog though, they should be primarily eating their formulated dog food.
As such, a recurring gas problem could be a sign that something else is wrong. If that's the case then Beano certainly isn't the answer. In fact, it's usually not a good idea to treat just symptoms in dogs. Actually, that's also true for humans but we won't get into that here. Just know that you could be masking something in your dog that merits more attention.
Can I Give My Dog Beano? Answer: Not Recommended
Beano works proactively and if your dog already has gas, you won't be doing them any favors by giving them some.
Further, providing a dog Beano before they eat is also not really a good idea. The enzymes it contains are made for the human digestive system. There are some specially formulated products which are similar to Beano, but they are for dogs. You can get them from your vet, online, or from most pet stores.
However, this is not typically something that they should need. If they are getting the right sort of food on a daily basis, all things equal, then very bad gas doesn't occur very often. The cause of chronic gas needs to be figured out, preferably with a vet's diagnosis, in order to rule out and ultimately eliminate such a condition. This is better rather than introducing something new, such as Beano, into your dog's system.
Give Them the Good Stuff
Prevent your dog from getting gas by feeding them specially formulated and quality dog food. Don't buy the stuff that is dirt cheap at the supermarket. Dogs need good dog food and anything outside of that will cause them stomach irritation including too much gas.
Beano is also not the cheapest thing on the planet. Giving it to your dog while feeding them low-grade dog food or table food isn't the most economical or smartest thing to do.
A much better approach is to be preemptive and put your hard earned money into the best possible, vet-recommended dog food you can find. That should alleviate most of the stomach problems they experience. You may also see an almost immediate and noticeable difference in their energy levels. Using Beano isn't going to achieve that!
The shininess of their coat and their zest for life will also improve. If you've never given your dog the premium stuff, try that strategy first as you may be surprised at what a difference it makes.
Explaining the Gas
You may be able to determine why your dog has terrible gas, as they naturally shouldn't. If it's a regular occurrence that remains unexplained, ask your vet about it the next time you take them in for a checkup.
If it's a once in a while thing, you'll probably be able to pinpoint it to some table scraps you fed them. It could also be linked to a time when they got loose and may have ended up eating something they shouldn't have.
Better Tip than Beano
Sticking to daily feeding times is important. Your dog's digestive system will get used to it, and produce the juices necessary to break down the food properly. If you feed them at sporadic times, or some days once and other days multiple times, their system won't be able to find any pattern. They'll likely be left with undigested food that can result in lots of bad gas.
By remaining consistent and developing a pattern you should be improvements. Also, by feeding them a top quality brand of dog food, you'll definitely be doing them a favor.

text: Patellofemoral pain syndrome) PFPS) is one of the most common knee injuries at a young age and is more common in women. Because of pain, muscle weakness and proprioception loss of in knee, these people have a deficit balance. The purpose of this study was Comparison of Land-based physical therapy with Aquatic physical therapy to improvement pain, physical function, static and dynamic balance in patient with PFPS. In this present quasi-experimental study twenty patients with PFPS participated and were divided into two groups: physical therapy on land and water. Subjects in both groups performed three sessions of exercise therapy per week for 8 weeks. In the beginning and at the end of the period, the patients' pain, function, static and dynamic balance respectively was assessed by visual analogue scale, kujala score, sharpend Romberg and star excursion balance test. Data was analyzed using SPSS (version 18) at a significance level of (P ≤ 0.05). In this study, pain, function, static and dynamic balance scores of the both groups significantly improved after the exercise period (P ≤ 0.05). However, there was no significant difference of data between the two groups in pain, function, static and dynamic balance (P ≥ 0.05). The results showed that physical therapy in water and land can be used as a useful and effective method to reduce pain, improve function, static and dynamic balance of PFPS patients. Although the results did not show statistically significant differences between the two groups the difference between two groups in the mean percentage change indicates that the clinical effect of exercise in water is higher than the land. According to these results aquatic physical therapy is recommended as an effective method for the treatment of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.


IBS Body Spots (Tinea Versicolor)
Are you experiencing visible body spots? Are there white spots? See how IBS contributes to this symptom and learn how to dissolve it!
Body spots (Tinea Versicolor) is a symptom which only shows visible markings on the surface of your skin and no other adverse effects.
Tinea Versicolor
*I have also experienced a series of skin markings on my back, white and circular in nature. Let me explain why this happens and how to dissolve it.*
When IBS Tinea Versicolor is prevalent, your skin shows visible spots which are white and circular; look as though the blood underneath the skin is not evenly spread out. It may appear anywhere on your body however it is more prevalent on the centre core of your body; abdominal and back region. This is because the skin is located closer to your abdominal organs such as your liver and intestines.
The body spots (Tinea Versicolor) can be sparsely distributed on your body or it could be very concentrated depending on each person's severity level.
Now why would you have visible markings on your body?
First of all, it is because your system has become bacterially imbalanced. It has also become very weak. This is largely due to a high sugar content in your diet, continual ingestion of processed foods, use of antibiotics, birth control pills, etc. The yeast in your system which is normally harmless, has now over-produced beyond normal levels causing Candidiasis. This is a condition where the yeast starts to cause harmful damage to your system.
The white spots are yeast colonizing in groups underneath the skin. When the yeast is far too dominate in your system, your organs would not be functioning as optimally as it should be. There may have been some damage done to your liver or it may simply be very weak. The liver is the organ that filters the blood in your body. Your intestines also become more permeable and inflammation may exists.
The body spots (Tinea Versicolor) become very visible when you are drinking alcohol. This is because the blood pressure rises and your skin color turns a cherry red, further showing the differences in color against the white spots (yeast colonies).
Alcohol is a substance that can feed the yeast and it can also harm your liver. It is important to keep your drinking to a minimal or even not at all; which would be best.
How to dissolve the body spots (Tinea Versicolor)?
This requires you to dissolve the yeast colonization that exists underneath your skin. This means that you need to restrengthen your system and re-create a healthy bacterial balance in your body by avoiding the following:
Stress Check
This causes the liver to face further burden, so minimize the amount of stress in your life. Try to make it through each day with little or no stress. If a heavily stressful event occurs, take the next 30 minutes to relax to pace your body down.
Lack of exercise
When you do not exercise, your organs begin to slow down. Slow organs causes fatigue as well as an array of other health issues. It is best to exercise at least 2-3 times per week to keep your organs in check. Exercising helps to regulate your internal organs so that they function at the correct pace.
Lack of Rest
Try to incorporate at least 8 hours of sleep per day. This helps each and every one of your organs to recuperate before beginning the next day. Continuous lack of rest causes your organs to become weak over-time.
Lack of Fluids
Ensure you drink lots of liquid. Avoid coffee or any other liquids that contains caffeine. Caffeine blocks your intestines from fully absorbing the nutrients from your daily diet. When your organs are not provided with sufficient amount of nutrients, they begin to weaken.
Unhealthy Diet
The constant ingestion of unhealthy foods, causes a lack of sufficient nutrients to the body. Long-term results can include many health problems. The liver eventually loses health with these types of foods as well.
Healthy_FoodIt is best to eat a sufficient amount from each of the four food groups (meat & alternatives, fruit & vegetables, dairy products and grain products). Try to avoid deep-fried, over-baked, msg-added, etc. type of foods.
When you eat healthy foods, your body returns the favour by showing a boost in health such as increased stamina, less fatigue, etc. The liver will thank you for ingesting healthy food. Click here to see a recommended list of food recipes.
* Very Importantly, do the following: Treat with Herbal Remedies
1. Take a Candida Stop treatment to help eliminate the yeast overgrowth in your body as noted here.
2. Also important to take a liver stimulant such as Milk Thistle, to help ensure your liver is functioning optimally. Read more here.
3a. Lastly, combine a couple drops of Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) with Calendula Cream (Calendula Officinalis only) and rub the cream in the areas where the Tinea Versicolor is visible. See here for more details on Tea Tree Oil and ensure you select the correct type of Calendula Cream by clicking here.
Calendula can be used simply on dry skin as well, after a month you will notice a considerable difference in the texture of your skin; much more vibrant skin. Most importantly however, both Tea Tree Oil and Calendula contain anti-fungal agents that will help to eliminate the yeast underneath the skin causing the Tinea Versicolor.
3b. Or alternatively, instead of using the combination of drops and cream noted in 3a, you can do the following:
Selsun OrangeUse Selsun Orange that contains 2.5% of selenium sulfide and apply it to all areas where the Tinea Versicolor body spots are visible. It is to be applied immediately after taking a warm shower and your body has been dried off with a towel. This is when the pores on your body are open as a result of the warm shower. Keep the Selsun Orange lathered on your body for at least 10 minutes before re-showering to wash off the shampoo. Repeat this process everyday for at least 7 consecutive days.
This product is typically used for dandruff but it has been known to work well with this particular skin problem occurring on the body. The selenium sulfide needs to be at a 2.5% concentration level in order to benefit from the full effect. Lower concentration levels may be too weak to provide positive results.
This shampoo product, when applied on the skin, helps to create an environment that is not friendly to the yeast. Yeast lives on the skin for those experiencing Tinea Versicolor body spots because the skin has 'adopted' the yeast and provided a friendly environment for it. With Selsun Orange, it will help to create a non-friendly environment and prevent the yeast from living on the skin.
Note that when the yeast overgrowth has been eliminated, it will take at least 3 months for the visible white body spots to slowly disappear.
Always remember that patience and persistence is key when following the guidelines provided here.

Definition of lawbreaker in English:
A person who breaks the law.
- They're being criminalized and treated as lawbreakers.
- The essential arguments are that nothing in the policy excludes these cases and that to exclude them puts lawbreakers in a better position than entrants who declare themselves.
- 'If the Government becomes a lawbreaker,' he wrote, 'it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.'
Law malfeasant, infractor
- Example sentences
- So, the Republicans will change the law to either politicize the prosecutor's office or retroactively legitimize past lawbreaking, and then proclaim themselves clean.
- But the prevalence of cultural relativism must take some blame too: For some, a culture of lawbreaking is just as valid as a culture of obedience to the law.
- If we go back to the case of massive resistance to desegregation, we have another example of federal lawbreaking assisted by state officials.

Class 1G have been looking at many different types of liquid as part of our early science work. The pupils have been exploring the difference between drinking liquid, cleaning liquid and liquids that we might use for cooking. We have introduced Class 1G to the idea of density – some liquids may be heavier than others. We have demonstrated this scientific fact by mixing milk and honey, and oil and water.
We have also been keen for Class 1G to look at how we can change the colour of liquid using food colouring. We asked each class member to experiment by adding some different colours to a small dish of milk. We then added more than one colour to observe how we can keep on changing the colour of a liquid. Other techniques such as blowing on the liquid to help to mix it were also explored.
A large focus for this learning has been safety. We want the pupils to understand the difference between liquids that we might drink, and liquids that we use to help with household cleaning. We asked the pupils to think of how we can recognise the differences, and what we should do if we are unsure.
You can watch a short video featuring our food colour mixing above.

If you're using GDBM on a 32-bit (i386) system, the maximum database size is 2GB. If you're using it on a 64-bit system and you compile your app 64-bit, then the maximum database size should be limited by your filesystem.

Boogieboard vs. Paipo
What's the difference between a paipo and a boogieboard?
We get quite a few questions asking how our Paipos compare with the modern day boogie boards. Truth be told, there isn't much comparison. But if that were all to the story, then there wouldn't be much reason to keep writing! While paipos and boogie boards both share a common ancestor, they differ drastically in construction methods, maneuverability, and actual use. Hopefully this article will answer your questions and help you transition from your sponge to a rigid paipo.
Paul showing off the thickness of the solid fiberglass construction.
HPD Paipos don't float like boogieboards
Unlike foam-core bodyboards and boogie boards, HPD Paipos are rigid in construction. Made from solid fiberglass, HPD Paipos do not retain any air within the fiberglass material. Instead, we rely on the relative density of our boards to allow our paipos to rise to the top of the water column when released under water. This is a primary principle of HPD Paipos that makes our boards super durable.
Paipos use hydrodynamic properties to push the board to the surface and stay "afloat" while under speed. Much like an airplane uses air to stay flying, an HPD Paipo is curved in such a way to force water underneath the board, pushing the board upward. When water is no longer flowing over the board (like after a wipeout), the board is no longer able so surf, so it will stop not far away from the wipeout, and slowly rise to the surface. This is why many old timers never went out with leashes, as their boards usually weren't far away.
On the other hand, boogie boards rely on encapsulated foam to retain air within the structure. This of course makes paddling very easy, and launching on waves a no-brainer, but it is very difficult to duck-dive under sets. And forget about riding one without a leash.

HPD Paipos are durable
Thanks to their solid fiberglass construction, HPD Paipos last pretty much forever. Back in the 90's Paul would drive his truck over the boards in the parking lot, and take videos slamming the boards into a coconut tree. We'll try and dig these up and post them, but be warned they are definitely cringe-worthy!
HPD Paipos are FAST!
Like we mentioned before, HPD's rigid fiberglass construction allows our Paipos to maintain shape under high-speed and stress. Foam boogieboards "squish" down when under stress, or under a heavy rider. This can deform the boogieboard and slows it way down in the water.
A Swimaster Duck Feet ad thought to be from the 1970s, showing the Voit/Swimaster UDT Duck Feet fins that were popular among paipo riders.
Wear Fins!
You might not need fins with a boogieboard on the small stuff, but everybody knows having powerful fins is a must when bodyboarding on large wave. Good fins provide thrust to help catch surf, and make swimming in strong current possible. Without fins, it will be an exhausting and frustrating day.
We used to use the UDT Duck Feet fins back in the day, and I still own a pair today. They are stiffer than normal fins, and really long to provide lots of thrust. Just google VOIT UDT Duck Feet and you'll be able to find them for a decent price online.
Taking Off
Catching a wave on a paipo is not the same as a boogieboard. Since flotation is minimal, the secret to catching waves on a Paipo is to push the board out infront of you, and make yourself as long as possible.
This is where nice, powerful fins come in handy. When the board is way out in front of you, start kicking and build up speed.
Once you feel the wave start to pick you up, pull the board in towards your chest and you will feel the speed pick up. This is very counter-intuitive coming from a boogieboard background, where flotation assists in catching waves. Getting the hang of this process might take a few tries, but once you figure it out, it becomes second nature, and catching waves gets easy.
Still Have Questions?
We love talking to our riders and helping them get used to our bodyboards. If you have any questions, just give us a call. We're here to help!
2 thoughts on "Boogieboard vs. Paipo"
 1. I bodyboard, make my own the past 10 years. I have made several boards, usually a foam core, shaped like a surfboard, 4 ft long with a 4 inch rocker in front and usually quad fins. Some I've fiberglassed like a surfboard and some I've made like a soft top surfboard. Can't use fins anymore, see below, is why the longboard for better float, speed paddling, etc.
 I basically use what you suggest is a paipo technique while surfing. In big waves and in air drops I also push the board way out ahead. The technique eliminates what surfers call "perling", or digging the nose in and wiping out. Once i've reached the bottom, I pull the board in and start the bottom turn. It's only a technique necessary when dropping straight down the wave. Not necessary in small or when I'm already in the wave moving parallel to it.
 The most dangerous board I surfed was a solid, balsa wood bodyboard a friend made for me in Ecuador. In my ignorance I used a leash and tore up both rotator cuffs when the leash was in front like a bodyboard, and destroyed both knees when I switched the leash to my ankle like a surfboard. I now have replacement knees. I'm 76 and usually surf everyday. Cheers, mate.
 Love the article. Was my first time on your site.
 1. Aloha Jimmy! That's why I've never had a Paipo with a leash. I've borrowed a few boogie boards over the years tho and I cannot stand being leashed on to something that floats so much. Sounds like you were really charging the big waves though! Mahalos for the stories. Be safe and stay salty!

A dog-leg is a sharp change in the orientation of a well bore due to shifting azimuth and/or inclination. Such shifts in a well orientation can make it difficult to run pipe and logging tools through an affected interval. Borehole images drawn from dog-leg sections are often degraded due to hole enlargement, tool marking of the wall and the effects of any stick and pull that may arise from the problem of threading a tool string around what is essentially a corner. Inspection of a well orientation survey will usually detail dog-leg severity, allowing its tie-in to image log quality.

Background & Aims: Celiac disease is a prevalent immune disorder caused by the ingestion of gliadin-containing grains. We investigated the ability of a polymeric binder to reverse the toxic effects induced by gliadin in human intestinal cells and gliadin-sensitive HCD4-DQ8 mice. Methods: Gliadin was neutralized by complexation to a linear copolymer of hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) and sodium 4-styrene sulfonate (SS). The ability of the polymeric binder to abrogate the damaging effect of gliadin on cell-cell contact was investigated in IEC-6, Caco-2/15, and primary cultured differentiated enterocytes. The efficacy of the polymeric binder in preventing gliadin-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction was assessed using gliadin-sensitive HLA-HCD4/DQ8 transgenic mice. Results: Poly(hydroxyethylmethacrylate-co-styrene sulfonate) [P(HEMA-co-SS)] complexed with gliadin in a relatively specific fashion. Intestinal cells exposed to gliadin underwent profound alterations in morphology and cell-cell contacts. These changes were averted by complexing the gliadin with P(HEMA-co-SS). More importantly, the P(HEMA-co-SS) hindered the digestion of gliadin by gastrointestinal enzymes, thus minimizing the formation of immunogenic peptides. Coadministration of P(HEMA-co-SS) with gliadin to HLA-HCD4/DQ8 mice attenuated gliadin-induced changes in the intestinal barrier and reduced intraepithelial lymphocyte and macrophage cell counts. Conclusions: Polymeric binders can prevent in vitro gliadin-induced epithelial toxicity and intestinal barrier dysfunction in HCD4/DQ8 mice. They have a potential role in the treatment of patients with gluten-induced disorders.

Differential Fluid Change Cost Guide
gear oil drop
In many cases, especially on all-wheel-drive vehicles, the correct fluid is determined not just by weight but according to manufacturer-specific specifications, such as on some Honda and BMW vehicles.
It's always important to consult the service manual and check the manufacturer's specifications. It is also a good idea to verify that a service facility has done so and is using the correct fluid.
The costs are still generally within the same price range. However, sometimes, extra time is needed to round up the necessary fluids if they aren't at hand.
The Costs of Differential Fluid Service
The cost to change differential fluid ranges from around $70 to $160. The price is usually figured at half an hour of labor and then, the cost of fluids. Most shops, including dealerships, use a set price rather than the book-time, plus the parts that the estimates of other services are calculated with.
In some cases, there is one price for all-wheel-drive vehicles and another price for four-wheel-drive trucks, which tend to have a larger gear oil capacity. In many cases as well, the operation is different between the two.
Most all-wheel-drive vehicles have a simple drain plug for the differentials. On the other hand, many four-wheel-drive axles require the more laborious removal of the drive gear cover to drain the fluid.
Sometimes, there is also an additional charge on top of the differential service cost to service a limited-slip differential if special friction-modifier additives need to be used. It's important to use the correct additive if necessary or the clutches in a limited slip differential can bind up or operate intermittently rather than smoothly.
An example would be a 2004 Dodge 2500 four-wheel-drive truck with a limited slip rear end, which needs 4-oz of limited slip additive costing about $18, in addition to normal differential fluid.
Differential Fluid Service
The differential in a vehicle takes the input of engine power from a driveshaft and splits it into two driving wheels on the axle using heavy steel ring and pinion gears. These are connected to a steel frame housing the spider and side gears.
Both front and rear differentials follow the same design, and all of these are lubricated with thick gear oil. The basic purpose is to transfer the power while allowing the two drive wheels of an axle to turn at different rates, as is necessary when steering around corners.
What this also allows is for one wheel to spin independently of another, which is a great disadvantage in slippery terrain or snowy roads.
If one wheel loses traction, all engine power is sent to that wheel. For that reason, limited slip differentials were developed, which still allow driven wheels to turn at different rates, but limit the amount so that some power will always be applied to both wheels. This is more often used on all-terrain four-wheel-drive vehicles.
The differential fluid in either design is subject to age and wear and has regular replacement intervals. These are very dependent on how a vehicle is used.
The most common service recommendations are from 30,000 to 60,000 miles. The shorter period is for a vehicle that is used for towing, which generates a lot more heat and wear in the differential.
The longer period is for normal use. Sometimes, the interval is much longer, as wear depends not just on how a vehicle is used, but the use it is designed for.
A differential designed and built to tow 12,000 pounds, for instance, sees little wear or stress if it isn't actually used to tow anything.
It is also fairly common to have a recommendation for the first differential fluid change that is much shorter, such as at 15,000 miles. That recognizes the break-in period of the differential; when the new steel-to-steel running gears bed into each other and generate more heat and waste-metal particles than they do when they are well-mated surfaces that are polished from initial wear.

Different Kinds of Fluids Used
Most gear oils have a specific weight rating such as 80w, or 80w-90, or 75w-140. The W signifies the tested viscosity rating of the gear oil in winter conditions, while the second number (if present) represents the viscosity in warm weather.
This is similar to how motor oil is rated, but the method and standards are different. 15w-40 motor oil, for instance, is pretty similar in consistency to 75w-90 gear oil. Sticking with the manufacturer's recommendation is always the safest way.
One other common option that comes up is synthetic versus conventional oil. Both are commonly available with the same weight ratings.
Other than cost, the general consensus is that synthetic is better. Generally, they have a lower friction coefficient (and so gears run cooler), better sliding characteristics, and are less affected by temperature changes.
The same as with motor oil, it all comes from the same place. However, the refining method is more involved and precise, and so, the cost is greater.
On a vehicle that is under heavy use, a synthetic is probably a good safe choice and should allow a more relaxed service schedule. Under normal or light use and in mild climates, the advantage is much less.

At Palembang port, for instance, odd dates are assigned for outgoing vessels and even dates for incoming vessels.
The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) recorded 170 hot spots in South Sumatra on Monday, which was the highest number in Sumatra. Dense haze from forest fires in the province has spread to Jambi, Lampung, Riau, West Sumatra, Aceh and North Sumatra. [14/10/14]

Throughput time between one activity and multiple others
Hello everyone,
Is there the possibility of calculating the throughput time between between one activity lets say 'Create Order' and multiple occuring activities, lets say 'Change date'. The problem is that Change date can happen multiple time and at each occurance the time between create order and change date should be caluclated.
The process is for example:
'Create Order'-> '…' -> 'Change date' -> '…' -> 'Change date'
The result, which i want to see is a histogram chart with the information:
number of occurances
number of days between create order and change date
In this example giving me 2 bars for each time difference.
Hope i made my case clear.
Thanks for any support!
Hi there,
You can solve this problem through the use of AVTIVITY_LEAD which allows you to identify Activity Sequences and do calculations on them. Here you can find more information on this:
To create a histogram, you can then use custom dimensions to show your result.
Hope that helps,

text: Korean: there are four Chinese characters used for the Yang surname, but only two are common enough to consider here; they have between them eight clans. The founding ancestor of the Ch'ŏngju Yang clan was Chinese and stayed in Korea after escorting Koryŏ, King Kongmin's future queen to Korea. The first historical ancestor of the Cheju Yang clan was a Shilla figure named Yang T'ang, but according to legend, his distant ancestor was one of three men who ascended from a cave on the north side of Cheju Island's Halla Mountain. These three men were the founders of the Yang, Pu, and Ko clans. The legendary founder of the Yang clan was named Yang Ŭl-la. Some days after their emergence, a box washed up on the shore of the island. In the box were three women, horses, cows, and agricultural seed. From these beginnings, the three established Cheju's T'amnaguk kingdom and ruled peacefully for 900 years. Later, descendants of the three men settled throughout Korea, although 40 percent of the Yang clan still live on Cheju island and in Chŏlla province.


Question: How Long Does It Take Gums To Heal After Scaling?
How long does it take for gums to heal after cleaning?
On average, it takes anywhere from 5 to 7 days for the gums to heal after a deep cleaning.
While your mouth is healing, you may experience some bleeding and swelling of the gums..
What not to do after scaling teeth?
Wait at least two hours before eating, and then select a soft diet for the first 48-72 hours, chewing on the opposite side of your mouth. Avoid alcoholic drinks and hot or spicy foods until your gums are healed. Do not use any tobacco products for at least 72 hours after the procedure because tobacco slows healing.
Do gums reattach after deep cleaning?
Can a deep cleaning be done all at once?
Can deep cleanings be done in one visit? Yes, but we do not recommend it. Deep cleaning of the entire mouth in one visit is usually discouraged for three reasons. Anesthetic – If local anesthetic is used to make the procedure painless, treating the entire mouth would require anesthesia of the entire mouth.
Can you heal deep pockets in gums?
The first nonsurgical step usually involves a special cleaning, called "scaling and root planing," to remove plaque and tartar deposits on the tooth and root surfaces. This procedure helps gum tissue to heal and periodontal pockets to shrink. This is sometimes referred to as "periodontal cleaning" or "deep cleaning."
Are deep cleanings worth it?
Do gums heal after scaling?
Teeth scaling and root planning often take more than one dental visit and could require a local anesthetic based on the severity of your chronic periodontal disease and if you have receding gums. Recovery from this outpatient procedure usually only takes a few days but may take longer.
What to expect after scaling?
After scaling and root planing is completed you may experience slight discomfort around the teeth for several days. You may notice some sensitivity to hot and cold (and sometimes sweets) for up to six weeks duration. This is a normal course of healing.
Is rinsing with salt water good for receding gums?
Can scaling damage gums?
Risks. Periodontal scaling can leave the teeth more sensitive to heat and cold if the gum recedes too much after treatment and some of the teeth's root become exposed. The gums may also become tender and swollen.
Does scaling hurt?
During the teeth scaling process, the dentist or dental hygienist numbs the gums and tooth roots using a local anesthetic. Teeth scaling and root planing, however, rarely cause noticeable discomfort.
Is deep scaling painful?
The short answer is no, the procedure is not painful. You will experience discomfort upon completion but the actual process can be completed with the administration of a local anesthetic to the soft tissue to minimize any unpleasant feelings during the process.

The structure of a finite group is investigated through a geometry induced by the splitting systems of the group. The method is based on the one used to induce a geometry on a finite dimensional vector space over a finite field and as a result, concepts related to the special and projective linear group are extended to arbitrary groups. One major by-product is the classification of solvable multiprimitive groups of arbitrary derived length. This leads to a necessary and sufficient condition for a solvable nC-group to be multiprimitive.

Deerns will give advice concerning new-build projects and renovation of existing systems. From an escalator in a shopping centre to the design of an entire transport hub, such as airport terminals or public-transport hubs.
Deerns' particular challenge consists of the optimisation of passenger flows.
Important aspects in our design recommendations include:
- The logistic flows
- Installation and type of escalators
- Moving walkways and/or ramps
- The civil-engineering environment.
An escalator or ramp is a diagonal transport system with steps or pallets that move up or down. A moving walkway, on the other hand, is a horizontal system, often made up of pallets, which is especially suitable in situations where longer walking distances need to be covered, like in airports or above-ground or underground railway stations. Because of their intensive use, and the required safety and reliability as a result, strict requirements are made of these systems. An advantage of escalators as opposed to lifts, for example, is the greater transport capacity and the absence of waiting times.

Many people don't know the symbolism behind the flag of Chicago. For those who don't know, or those who need a refresher, here is the explanation from Wikipedia. Click here for the entire explanation. Stripes The three white stripes of the flag represent, from top to bottom, the North, West and South sides of the city. The top blue stripe represents Lake Michigan and the North Branch of the Chicago River. The bottom blue stripe represents the South Branch of the Chicago River and the Great Canal. Stars The four red six-pointed stars on the center white stripe, from left to right (although this is not the order in which they were added to the flag). Six-pointed stars are used because five-pointed stars represent sovereign states, and because the star as designed is not found on any other flags. The first star represents Fort Dearborn. It was added to the flag in 1939. Its six points symbolize transportation, labor, commerce, finance, populousness, and salubrity. The second star stands for the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, and is original to the 1917 design of the flag. Its six points represent the virtues of religion, education, aesthetics, justice, beneficence, and civic pride. The third star symbolizes the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, and is original to the 1917 design. Its six points stand for political entities Chicago has belonged to and the flags that have flown over the area: France 1693, Great Britain 1763, Virginia 1778, the Northwest Territory 1798, Indiana Territory 1802, and Illinois 1818. The fourth star represents the Century of Progress Exposition (1933–1934), and was added in 1933. Its points refer to bragging rights: the United States' 2nd Largest City (became 3rd largest in 1990 census when passed by L.A.), Chicago's Latin Motto (Urbs in horto – City in a garden), Chicago's I Will Motto, Great Central Marketplace, Wonder City, Convention City. A possible fifth star has been proposed for the city flag on more than one occasion. The first occasion occurred in the 1940s when a letter to the Chicago Tribune asked that a fifth star to be added to the city flag in honor of going to the nuclear age. On another occasion, it was proposed in honor of Harold Washington, the first African-American mayor of Chicago. A fifth star was discussed for the Chicago Flood that occurred in 1992. A proposal was put forward by the 2016 Olympic Games Bid Committee; if the bid to host the games had been successful, a fifth star may have been added to the flag, however the Olympic bid was lost to Rio de Janeiro.
Michigan Avenue Bridge & Wrigley Building
Made by Thad Roan - Bridgepix
The Michigan Avenue Bridge is a bascule bridge that carries Michigan Avenue across the main stem of the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The bridge was constructed between 1918 and 1920 as part of a scheme to link Chicago's south side and north side parks with a grand boulevard. It is an early example of a fixed trunnion bascule bridge, which later became widely known as a Chicago style bascule; it is part of the Michigan–Wacker Historic District and is a Chicago Landmark. (Wikipedia) The Wrigley Building (400-410 North Michigan Avenue, Near North Side, Chicago, Illinois) is a skyscraper located directly across Michigan Avenue from the Tribune Tower on the Magnificent Mile. It was built to house the corporate headquarters of the Wrigley Company. When ground was broken for the Wrigley Building in 1920, there were no major office buildings north of the Chicago River and the Michigan Avenue Bridge, which spans the river just south of the building was still under construction. The land was selected by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. to headquarter his gum company. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst & White using the shape of the Giralda tower of Seville's Cathedral combined with French Renaissance details. The 425-foot (130 m) south tower was completed in April 1921 and the north tower in May 1924. Walkways between the towers were added at the ground level and the third floor. In 1931, another walkway was added at the fourteenth floor to connect to offices of a bank in accordance with a Chicago statute concerning bank branch offices. The two towers, not including the levels below Michigan Avenue, have a combined area of 453,433 square feet (42,125.3 m2). The two towers are of differing heights, with the south tower rising to 30 stories and the north tower to 21 stories. On the south tower is a clock with faces pointing in all directions. Each face is 19 feet 7 inches (5.97 m) in diameter. The building is clad in glazed terra-cotta, which provides its gleaming white façade. On occasion, the entire building is hand washed to preserve the terra cotta. At night, the building is brightly lit with floodlights. The Wrigley Building was Chicago's first air-conditioned office building. If one walks through the center doors, they will find themselves in a secluded park area overlooking the Chicago River.

The Chicago River is a river that runs 156 miles (251 km) and flows through Chicago, including Downtown Chicago, also known as the Chicago Loop. Though not especially long, the river is notable for the 19th century civil engineering feats that directed its flow south, away from Lake Michigan, into which it previously emptied, and towards the Mississippi River basin. This was done for reasons of sanitation. The river is also noted for the local custom of dyeing it green on St. Patrick's Day. Originally, the river flowed into Lake Michigan. Its course jogged southward from the present river to avoid a baymouth bar, entering the lake at about the level of present day Madison Street. Today, the Main Stem of the Chicago River flows due west from Lake Michigan, past the Wrigley Building and the Merchandise Mart to Kinzie Street, where it meets the North Branch of the river. The North Branch is formed by the West Fork, the East Fork (also known as the Skokie River) and the Middle Fork, which join into the North Branch at Morton Grove, Illinois. From downtown, the river flows south along the South Branch, and into the Illinois and Michigan Canal and Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. From there, the water flows into the Des Plaines River and eventually reaches the Gulf of Mexico.
A Press of Peoples. Magnificent Mile Bridge over the Chicago River, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Made by Rana Pipiens
This is the bridge across the Chicago River on the Magnificent Mile. To the left the Wrigley Building (1920) and to the far right the Tribune Tower (1925), well-known for incorporating in its facade stones from many great buildings of the world. There's an almost continuous press of peoples across this bridge whether on foot or in busses, taxis and private cars. It's amazing how well everyone from a multitude of climes and nations melds into one great moving humanity... All was once not so. Here around 1800 stood Fort Dearborn. The sculptured monument immediately to my left - you just can't see it - is called 'Defense'. It was made by Henry Hering (_PHONE_) to memorialise an awful event of the War of 1812. A group of settlers under the command of Captain Wells abandoned the fort, was set apon by native Americans, and killed. The sculpture shows a dreadful scene of killing and death in the heroic style. The description has words such as 'Cherishing Martyrs' and 'Brutally massacred by the Indians'. Normal sentiments for the times of Henry Hering. Today we're more conscious of the problem of various peoples laying claim to the same lands... and to the press on morality that causes. The flags are those of the USA, the City of Chicago, and the State of Illinois.

Hitting the archives today for this one. This is a shot of Chicago, taken from the Michigan Avenue Bridge over the Chicago River. The notable thing about this shot, at least for me personally, is that building on the right... the one with the angled roof. That used to be known as the RR Donnelley Building and I worked on the 12th floor. RR Donnelley is the world's largest printing company. I commuted every week from Portland to Chicago for several years before they finally moved us there. Almost immediately I was floating resumes back to Oregon. I've been back for 7 years now and have lots of good memories, but I haven't missed living there for a second. There are a few other notable things about the Donnelley Building. It has been used in several movies. It was prominently featured in The Negotiator with Kevin Spacey and Samuel L. Jackson. They filmed that during my commuter days and I was in fact living in an apartment building in the same block. Julia Roberts walked across the lobby of

A road out of the marsh
At some point in the early Iron Age (500 BC – 0 AD), a road was laid in the marshlands of Ellemosen at the foot of Tibirke Bakker in North Zealand. The road runs from solid ground across the wetlands of Ramløse River, where two islets reach out to each other. This…
Roadway on 600 hazel stakes
Although the road is ancient, it is not the first to have been built on this site. A more than 4,500-year-old road made of stakes runs alongside and in some places under the Iron Age road. In the Neolithic period, around the time of the construction of the large passage graves, Ellemosen was a shallow fjord connected with the Kattegat sea area. At that time, one of the islets was a small island, and it was to this island that a road was built from more than 600 hazel stakes. The stakes had been sharpened and hammered into the bed of the fjord in three rows. The stakes presumably supported several layers of branches or a row of planks, but if so, there was no evidence of them at the dig in 1943. The road led to a settlement on the island, but this has not yet been excavated.

Bizarre Foods in Spain
V. L. Hamlin, Leaf Group
Many countries serve up foods that people from other areas may not consider edible, let alone to be gastronomical delights. Spaniards enjoy certain oddities and even offer them on menus of eateries throughout the country. Outside of Spain, some such foods, like animal organs, generally go into the trash, while other items are ignored.
Chefs prepare angulas--baby eels only a few weeks old--by first skinning, then frying or sauteing them. Angulas appear on restaurant menus in salads, with pasta or even alone in a vinaigrette marinade.
Criadillas, also known as bull fries, are made floured and breaded bull testicles, fried and served with a spicy wine sauce. Occasionally, criadillas contain testicles of other animals, such as pigs. Some in Spain suggest that eating the testicles of prized bulls boosts the eater's bravery and masculinity.
Pulpo de Gallego
Pulpo de Gallego, Galician octopus, is usually frozen before cooking to get rid of the rubbery texture. The chef then boils the meat in the same manner as other seafood, and usually serves it with boiled or roasted potatoes.
Rabo de Toro
Rabo de Toro, a dish said to have originated in Cordoba, originally consisted of the tail of a bull, cooked just as you would a prepare a stew--boiled with onions, vegetables, tomatoes and stock as well as spices and a bit of wine. However, because it's become difficult to find the tail of a bull, oxtail (a tail of a cow) often substitutes for the bull tail.


Simulink Design Verifier
Using Existing Coverage Data during Subsystem Analysis
Measuring the Coverage of the Subsystem
The sldvdemo_autotranssldvdemo_autotrans model is a closed-loop simulation model. The subsystem ShiftLogicShiftLogic is a Stateflow® chart and represents the controller part of this model. Test cases designed in the Signal Builder block ManeuversGUIManeuversGUI drive the closed-loop simulation. You can use the cvtestcvtest and cvsimcvsim functions to measure the model coverage achieved for this subsystem inside the closed-loop simulation model. In this example, specifying the input to cvtestcvtest as a path to the subsystem rather than to the model name results in measuring the coverage for the subsystem only. Also, the second input to cvsimcvsim specifies the time interval to simulate the model and it is derived from the time range of the current pane in the block ManeuversGUIManeuversGUI.
test = cvtest('sldvdemo_autotrans/ShiftLogic');
test.settings.decision = 1;
test.settings.condition = 1;
test.settings.mcdc = 1;
signalBuilderBlock = sldvdemo_signalbuilder_block('sldvdemo_autotrans');
signalBuilderTime = signalbuilder(signalBuilderBlock);
simulationStopTime = signalBuilderTime{1,1}(end);
existingCovData = cvsim(test,[0 simulationStopTime]);
cvhtml('Existing Coverage', existingCovData);
Finding Test Cases for Missing Coverage
Before you can use existing coverage data during test generation, the data must be saved to a coverage data file(.cvt). You can use existing coverage data by specifying the coverage data path in the Coverage data file parameter and setting Ignore objectives satisfied in existing coverate data parameter to on in the Test Generation pane of Simulink Design Verifier configuration parameters.
In this demonstation, the first input to sldvrunsldvrun specifies the subsystem to analyze. Instructing Simulink Design Verifier to analyze a subsysyem is beneficial when the controller part of a model needs to be tested separately or when you want to divide the analysis of a large model into smaller, manageable parts.
As you can see in the report, Simulink Design Verifier only finds test cases for the coverage objectives that are not covered in the existing coverage file. Notice that 4 coverage objectives in the subsystem ShiftLogicShiftLogic are proven to be unsatisfiable. This is expected because the logic inside the Stateflow chart ShiftLogicShiftLogic uses temporal events and since this chart updates at every sample time, usage of temporal conditions should be satisfactory. Also note that, dead code within a subsystem will always be a dead code in the model containing that subsystem.
The harness model generated by Simulink Design Verifier is built by extracting the contents of the subsystem ShiftLogicShiftLogic into a Test Unit component that is fed by a Signal Builder block that captures the generated test cases.
opts = sldvoptions;
opts.IgnoreCovSatisfied = 'on';
opts.CoverageDataFile = 'existingcov.cvt';
opts.SaveHarnessModel = 'on';
[~, harnessModel] = fileparts(fileNames.HarnessModel);
Clean Up

Drivers of red cars are more likely to find themselves cleaning off bird poop than those who drive a different color car, according to research reported in the Daily Mail.
Commissioned by the car accessory company Halfords, scientists looked at 1,140 vehicles in British cities like Brighton, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and Bristol.
They found that red cars were most often found covered in bird droppings - 18 percent - while green cars were the least likely – 1 percent.
The scientists say there isn't a concrete reason why red cars are the most-dropped on, but it might be because birds see the red as something representing danger.
· Red - 18 %
· Blue - 14 %
· Black - 11 %
· White - 7 %
· Grey/Silver - %
· Green - 1 %
The study also looked at how quick drivers were to clean the droppings off.
Only 17 percent said they wiped the poo off as soon as they saw it. Twenty percent said they cleaned it within a couple of days, while 55 percent said they waited until it was time for their next regular car wash.
Eight percent said they never wash their cars.


18 May 2021 - Aerodynamic Behaviour and Structural Safety of Tower Cranes
Aerodynamic Behaviour and Structural Safety of Tower Cranes
Online Event 18th May, 4pm
The Lothar and Martin winter storms of 1999 were a wake-up call for the French construction industry : two particularly violent winter storms swept the country in the space of several days causing multiple tower cranes to collapse.
This led to a long-term research project at the CSTB and a new methodology for the study of dynamic stability of tower cranes including desk study and wind tunnel analysis methods to identify and mitigate the risk of crane autorotation due to surrounding buildings and to quantify dynamic loads on the crane and its foundations. This method is underpinned by the national site-safety certification and insurance system.
This talk will cover the main technical considerations, the different techniques used as well as the legal framework in which it operates.

Not all of the 5758 genes on the HuGeneFL chip are annotated. For every gene on the chip, see if it is annotated by comparing its gene symbol to the list of gene symbols from GO. Track the number of annotated genes and the number of up-regulated genes associated with each GO term. Note that data in public repositories is frequently curated and updated; therefore the results of this example might be slightly different when you use up-to-date datasets. It is also possible that you get warnings about invalid or obsolete IDs due to an updated Homo sapiens gene annotation file.
