Copy Drawn Objects From One Layer to One or More Other Layers
This function works on all kinds of obstructs, planes, plane shapes, conductive areas, solder mask shapes, and rule areas.
Select one or more objects to copy. Then press "Copy Selected Objects" button. The objects will be listed in the window/box underneath the button.
In the Destination Layers box, enter the layers you want the source shape to be copied to. You can enter any combination of numbers with commas, spaces, or dashes to indicate the destination layers. For example:
 - 1 2 9-11 15: This will copy to layers 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, and 15
 - 2-7, 12-15: This will copy to layers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15
 - 4, 5, 6, 12-16: This will copy to layers 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
Press the copy objects button. (Read and acknowledge warning pop-up. Please be aware, all these shapes will be copied with DRC off. It's easy to create DRC errors when doing this, so check for DRC errors afterwards.) Note: check status line at bottom of Shapester window for results.
Shape Creation Parameters
Hug Pad Slider
The hug pad slider determines how tightly the resulting shape matches the source shapes. You can think of this like a sheet draped over some furniture, or a vacuum-sealed plastic wrapper. The farther to the right the slider is, the more it is like a loosely draped sheet. The more to the left it is, the more the resulting shape will be like a vacuum-wrapped object.
If the source objects you select for shape creation are too far apart, Shapester may not be able to make a shape that connects them. If the shape creation fails, the first thing to do is try moving the slider farther to the right.
Oversize Amount
The over-size amount box lets you specify an amount (in the current design units) to increase the size of the resulting shape over the size of the source shapes.
Note: Use the Hug Pad Slider and Oversize amount together to manipulate the size and shape of the resulting object.
Fix Created Objects: Check to fix the created shape.
Lock Created Objects: Check to lock the created shape.
The corners of created shapes can be made in several ways: Square, Round, Chamfered, and Mixed Square / Round.
They are fairly self-explanatory, but it's worth noting that the Mixed Square / Round mode will create round inside corners and square outside corners. For example, when adding a plane shape to connect the belly pad of an IC with ground pins around the perimeter, you might want the outside corners squared off but the inside corners to have a radius. This mode will achieve that.
The Mixed Square/Round mode has another modifier, Round Again. If this checkbox is checked, the shape will be generally similar to Mixed Square/Round mode, but the outside corners will be rounded.
Keep Selection: This checkbox is on by default. When checked, it maintains the previous selection set of objects after the Undo button is pressed, so that you don't have to reselect everything you just had selected if you want to undo and change the parameters.
Enable Plane Selection for Shape Creation: This option is defined separately so that existing plane shapes can be included or excluded from the creation of new plane shapes. When plane shapes are used as source objects, they are incorporated into the new shape and the old one is deleted.
Reselect Last: When trying various setups to get a shape to come out the way you want, you may inadvertently unselect the objects you want to use as source objects. This button will reselect the last items used as source objects so you can use them again.
Shape Creation:
The following functions use existing objects to create other shapes. The source objects can be pin pads, via pads, traces, plane shapes, conductive shapes, and in some cases, polygons or other shapes on user layers.
Make Plane Shape
Make a plane shape out of existing objects.
Select all desired source objects, set the desired parameters, and press the "Make Plane Shape" button.
Bury pins: when plane parameters specify thermal reliefs on pin pads and vias, checking this box will create an override that will flood those pins and/or vias.
Make plane shapes trace keepouts: this option sets the parameter on the plane shape that turns it into a trace keepout.
Make Plane Obstruct
If a plane clearance for specific objects needs to be larger than the default spacing rule, the over-size amount can be set to a higher value than the existing plane clearance, and a plane obstruct can be made for those objects with the larger clearance.
Select objects, set oversize amount to the desired clearance, and press the "Make Plane Obstruct" button.
Make Plane Clearance on Adjacent Layers Under Other Objects
Select the pads, set the oversize amount if the clearance needs to be larger than the pads, and press the "Make Plane Clearance on Adjacent Layers Under Other Objects" button.
Process pads individually: to make clearances under multiple pads that are far away from each other, select this option so that Shapester does not try to combine resulting shape from all pads.
Make Solder Mask Clearance
On some boards, it may be necessary to remove solder mask from an entire surface layer. This is done with a large shape on the appropriate solder mask layer in Xpedition. If there are components installed on that layer, it will be necessary to make a hole in that solder mask shape around the components. This function creates a solder mask shape, which can be removed from a larger solder mask shape, to produce the hole, resulting in solder mask being applied to the area around the components when the board is fabricated.
Set the over-size amount to provide adequate solder mask area, select pads (in route mode), then press the Make Solder Mask Clearance button.
Full Layer Solder Mask Clearance
This function automates the process of making a solder mask clearance on an entire surface layer and then making holes in that shape around all the components on that layer. When executed, this function raises another dialog with its own controls.
The select layer drop down is used to select the top or bottom layer of the board.
Press the GO button to begin the process.
When using this function, a dialog will appear that indicates optimal settings for the hug pads slider and the over-size amount. Typically, the hug pad slider should be all the way to the right, and the over-size amount should be set to a minimum of 10 mil or.25 mm to produce an adequate solder mask area around component pads. The over-size amount may be adjusted according to fabrication process capability.
Depending on the size of the board and number of components, this process could take several minutes.
Convert Plane to Area/Area to Plane
This functions turns planes into conductive shapes or conductive shapes into planes. Net assignment does not change. Select any plane or conductive shape and press the Convert Plane to Area/Area to Plane button to execute the function.
Report Area of Selected Objects
Select an object and press the Report Area of Selected Objects button. The area of the object is reported in a pop-up window.
Fill Empty Spaces With a Plane
(And we don't mean the kind with wings.)
This function floods open areas on the active layer with a plane shape of the net specified in the Fill Space drop-down box. After you click the Fill Empty Spaces button, click in an empty area of the board area to fill the space with a plane shape.
Round Corner / Chamfer Corner:
This function is used to convert sharp corner vertices in existing shapes to chamfered or rounded. This function does the same thing as the built in shape vertex type control in the Properties dialog in Xpedition, but it's much easier and faster to use. You set the chamfer / radius value, the press either the Round Corner or Chamfer Corner buttons to initiate the command. After pressing the button, move your cursor into the Xpedition window and hover over the vertex you want to change. A red diamond snap marker will appear, indicating which vertex the action will happen on. Click near the vertex to select it. The vertex will then be changed.
If you want to add chamfers or radii to all the vertices in a shape at once, check the Chamfer / Round Entire Shape checkbox, and do the same as above. Pick any vertex in the shape. All the vertices in the shape will be changed if the adjacent line segments are long enough to accommodate the radius or chamfer.
Trim Planes to Route Border
If plane shapes extend beyond the route border, this function can be used to trim them back to the route border. The net assignment and plane parameters of the plane are maintained. Select one or more plane shapes, then press the Trim Planes to Route Border button. The plane shapes will be automatically trimmed.


Garmaine Staff asked 1 year ago
So i am trying to find a way how to link two or more sounds together. im not sure how to explain it, but its basicly starting the sound2 while the sound1 is playing after time x. And finally writing this in a file.
I did an example of what i mean in Audacity that you can imagine better
as you can see the sounds can be the same but dont must!
Thank you for every answer
PS: Don't know if this is relevant, but i could do this already without saving into a file, just with playing, with mulithreading and the Thread.sleep(millis) function.

A shell flute was a shell drilled with a pattern of holes which was used by members of the sentient aquatic Mairan species to communicate in their native language. To use the flute, a Mairan individual would place the drilled side of the shell against its blowhole and play the music-like notes of the Mairan language. In 23 ABY, when Tenel Ka, the Hapan-Dathomiri princess, was staying on Reef Fortress Island on the planet Hapes, she used the translator droid M-TD to speak with a Mairan ambassador who was using a shell flute.

How to build a Windows PE [Vista] CD/DVD that contains Ghost32.exe and then join a client machine to a Ghost Cast Server session to create or restore an image file.
Article:TECH109718 | Created: 2007-01-06 | Updated: 2013-10-22 | Article URL
Article Type
Technical Solution
It's been explained to you that imaging operations on server operating systems and computers that use a hardware RAID array must occur from a 32-bit Windows PE environment where the network interface card (NIC) drivers and mass storage controller drivers are included in that environment. You need to know how to build this Windows PE disk so that you can complete your imaging with the Ghost Cast Server.
The default 16-bit DOS environment that is used on regular Ghost Boot Disks does not correctly interpret hardware RAID arrays or server operating systems.
Symantec Technical Support for Windows PE is limited to the use and troubleshooting of Ghost. Support is not offered for configuring or troubleshooting Windows PE operations outside
the functionality of Ghost. The information below is provided "as is" and questions about Windows PE or the process used to create a Windows PE disk should be directed to Microsoft.
1. Download the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) located at the following URL:
2. Once you have WAIK download, burn the image file to DVD using 3rd party burning software or extract the contents of the image file to a folder.
3. The following components should be installed on a Windows XPSP2, Windows 2003 SP1, or Windows Vista computer. These components are all available on the WAIK DVD burned in step 2.
a..NET Framework Setup
b. MSXML 6.0 Setup
c. Windows AIK Setup (install last).
4. Click Start > All Programs > Microsoft Windows AIK > Windows PE Tools Command Prompt
5. Type the following commands at the command prompt:
a. copype.cmd x86 c:\winpe_x86
b. imagex /mountrw c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim 1 c:\winpe_x86\mount
Next, you'll want to copy ghost32.exe, NIC drivers, and Mass Storage Controller Drivers to the PE disk. The NIC drivers and Mass Storage Controller drivers need to be Vista drivers.
c. copy "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Ghost\Ghost32.exe" c:\winpe_x86\mount\windows
d. copy "[NIC driver location]" c:\winpe_x86\mount\windows (Vista Drivers only)
e. copy "[Mass Storage Driver Location]" c:\winpe_x86\mount\windows (Vista Drivers only)
f. peimg /prep c:\winpe_x86\mount\windows
Type Yes to continue
g. imagex /unmount c:\winpe_x86\mount /commit
h. copy c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim c:\winpe_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim
Type Yes to overwrite
j. Burn the ISO located at c:\winpe_x86 to CD/DVD.
6. Boot your client machine with the new PE disk you built
7. When the PE environment is fully loaded, you'll see a command prompt. At the command prompt, type ghost32.exe and press [enter]
8. At this point, Ghost will open and you can perform imaging as you normally would:
a. Click GhostCast
b. Select Unicast/Multicast/Directed Broadcast
c. Type the name of the GhostCast Session to join
d. Click OK
e. Select the source/destination drive and Click OK
f. If you're creating an image, choose the level of compression to use. If you're restoring an image, you won't see compression options.
g. Click Yes when asked, "Proceed with Image File Creation?"
Note: To automate the opening of Ghost32.exe when you boot into the Windows PE environment, modify the startnet.cmd file prior to taking step 5E. You can find the startnet.bat file in c:\winpe_x86\mount\windows\system32\startnet.cmd. Underneath the winpeinit entry, enter the following command line and resave the file:

I use ArcGIS 10.1 and I am dealing with viewshed and least cost path analysis. I would like to generate a path on the basis of a cost surface taking into account the viewshed data as indicated in the paper "On applying viewshed analysis for determining least-cost paths on Digital Elevation Models" by Stucky and Lee. In order to do that the authors say:
To support the computation of the various least-cost paths discussed in this paper, two grids of visibility information should be calculated. The first is a general viewgrid (VG) that records for each cell the number of cells visible. The second is a dominance viewgrid (VD) that holds for each cell the number of cells from which the cell is visible. Both grids are constructed by calculating intervisibility between grid cells using the LoS algorithm. Two matrices are not equal because the number of cells visible from a cell does not always equal the number of cells to which that cell is visible. Next, these two visibility grids are converted to friction surfaces. These surfaces are used as the input grids to the least-cost path procedure. To do this, a few adjustments must be made to create the friction surfaces suitable for calculating viewpaths that we wish to use. For this study, we have implemented a total of four viewpaths. Each of the four viewpaths requires different friction surfaces to be setup from viewgrids.
Does someone know how to create the viewgrids and covert them into friction surfaces?

Simple tube tester
- Category: Articles
- Published: Tuesday, 09 January 2018 09:43
- Written by Grzegorz Makarewicz
- Hits: 2896
A simple solution, made according to the diagram shown in the picture below, allows to check whether the filament fiber in the tube is not discontinuoused and to detect specific defects of the tube (eg increasing the resistance of the filament fiber due to defective soldering to the pins of the socket; shorting the fiber inside the bulb or in the socket, e.t.c.).
The device includes:
- power (mains) transformer
(primary winding 110/220V~, secondary - 1,25V~),
- nakelite plate with various sockets mounted on it (2 sockets for a given type of tube),
- current meter (milliammeter),
- rectifier (Pr),
- two wire resistors (5 ohms each),
- two 2-volt indicator buklbs (Lv, Lp).
The operation of the tester is based on the well known bridge principle. After connecting the transformer to the electrical network, and the tubes to the sockets (reference tube V and tube under test P) - if the filament fiber resistance of both tubes are the same - the measuring instrument will not indicate any current flow, and both incandescent bilbs will glow with the same brightness. If, however, the fiber of the tested tube has a higher resistance than the fiber of the reference tube, then the measuring instrument will show the current flow correspondingly smaller, and the bulb in its circuit will shine brighter. This means a defect in the fiber of the tested tube.

What does square waves in the ocean mean?
Square waves are the result of two sets of wave systems blending with each other at differing angles. They usually form when two different weather systems meet up and their winds cause the wave grids to form. The resulting currents can wreck ships and pose a threat to people in the water.

The Thickness of Aluminum Foil Lab
In the study of Chemistry, we encounter very large and very small numbers. For example, the size of a molecule or thin layer of molecules is very, very small and difficult to measure directly.
In order to "measure" such numbers, we often use one measured quantity and another known property to calculate the unknown value. In this experiment, we will use this approach to calculate the thickness of various types of aluminum foil, a quantity whose direct experimental determination is not possible with common laboratory equipment.
By measuring the mass of a piece of foil and by calculating its area, the thickness of the foil can be obtained from these quantities and the known density of aluminum, 2.70 g/cm3.
Show your work and express answers with the correct number of significant figures and proper units.
1. Find the volume of a block with the dimensions L = 9.16 cm, W = 3.65 cm, H = 1.01 cm.
2. If the density of a substance is 0.734 g/cm3 and the volume of the substance is 21.45 cm3, find its mass.
3. Determine the thickness of a rectangular piece of paper with an area of 45.3 cm2 and a volume of 7.7 X 10-3 cm3. (Hints: rewrite the formula for volume as length X width X thickness. Also, what is the formula for area?)
1. Cut 2 rectangular pieces of regular aluminum foil and 2 rectangular pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Be sure that the dimensions are at least 10 cm on each side. Record the type (e.g. Reynolds Heavy Duty, Schnucks Regular) of each piece of aluminum foil in the data table below.
2. Using the ruler, carefully measure the length and width of each piece of foil. Record the measurements in your data table. Take care to record your measurements with the appropriate number of significant figures. Record the length and width of each piece of aluminum foil in the data table below.
3. Using a balance, find...

Who Am I
A new photograph floats to the surface
Playfully dressing up as the world around me
Hat, striped socks and all
Tiptoeing at the top for one last sweet moment
Before sinking back into my ocean mind.
One after another they arrive
Single file,
Steeping my eyes in the world
As the minds shutter, ever fluttering
Strings together this conscious stream I play in.
My photographs fade in time's wrinkled arms.
Joining their brothers and sisters at the ocean floor,
Who am I?

Respect Comes with Age
My father and my mother sat me down one day
 to tell me how wonderful that I was growing O.K.
The years passes by as I got to be a teenager
 with high hopes of becoming the first young manager
Life turns out a manager job is not for me
 so I kept things to a minimum working hard you see
My family had taught me with all do respect
Like queens and kings we bow our head
 to the people who is wiser in age even when dead
Life as our guide the time we have aged
 is what we leave behind that we are gaged
In prospective we are the stars and we are the earth
 because we age and leave behind a new birth
To those that seek such blessing of heart
 remember this age is respect for living from the start
Do you remember your father, mother, and teachers
 they are the ones cheering you on, sitting on those bleachers

I am alson't lying
Today was the day of judgment,
All children were excited and pleased,
But when the result was declared,
Tutor called student; one by one in the office,
And appreciated each of them,
Who got good marks in the tests.
But suddenly, a cried break out amusement',
Why did a teacher, beat up a student so badly?
Who wrote in the exam,
The sun was rising in the river,
Fishes were jumping over the clouds,
And climbing up on the palm trees.
Head teacher came out and asked the boy,
Where did you read all this?
When my dad goes fishing, he told.
I always think, why fishes have white colour,
I understand when we were acrossing the waves,
Fishes must eat coconut.
A teacher not beaten up a student only,
Also he failed because of not following his lesson,
That was from a book,
Dad, I wasn't wrong, a child was sobbing,
If book isn't lying,
I am also not lying.

The Teacher Tree
all of them sustain,
some wilted,
all vital,
each a part of the teacher tree.
speaking different parables,
humming different songs,
each falling its own way in the end.
tell me, tell me teacher tree,
why they have to die?
some too soon to truly live,
struggling and suffering.
the sun will scorch,
the winds will dry,
each one of your sacred leaves.
the teacher tree won't answer,
and all the leaves will try
to tell you why they matter.
every living one does matter,
and was made so all could exist.
the teacher tree stays silent,
but answers every one,
and every fallen leaf
is one with him,
forever and forever.

Book Buddies Program
Ms. Jeanette Rosenberg
Book Buddies is a research-based one-on-one tutorial program that supports reading instruction in the classroom. It enlists trained community volunteers to provide instruction to first and second grade students who need extra support in literacy acquisition. The program is in its 18th year of operation in the school division. There are approximately 120 tutor-student pairs who are supervised by eight reading specialists at five elementary schools.
Volunteers are trained to become effective tutors in a two-hour group session in September and a follow-up building-level session in January. They receive additional support throughout the year by the reading specialists at each school. A published manual is made available to the new tutors.
The reading coordinators write individualized lesson plans for each tutoring session. They assess the students three times a year, participate in scheduling, and maintain communication with the students' classroom teachers.
Research data shows that students are achieving, as evidenced by increases on measures of alphabet and word recognition. The Book Buddies Program has attracted widespread national attention at reading conferences and in national and international professional journals. It has been replicated throughout Virginia and around the nation. The Book Buddies Program is the recipient of the Virginia State Reading Association's 1997 Literacy Award.
Persons who are interested in volunteering in the Book Buddies Program may obtain additional information by calling _PHONE_.

Transferring Butterflies for Mass Release
Transfer Instructions For Your Butterflies
Why Were Your Butterflies Sent in Individual Envelopes?
Your butterflies have been shipped to you in individual envelopes to preserve their wing condition and to encourage them to enter a state of dormancy during shipping.
When should we transfer the butterflies?
 1. If transferring the butterflies into a cardboard release box, you should transfer them about 2 – 4 hours before the planned release time. Once they are in the box, however, store in a cool, dark place (such as a closet) until you are ready to transport them to your event. Just prior to releasing, however, you do want them to be in warm temperatures since they need to be warm to fly.
 2. If you are transferring them into a net hanging cage, or a table top cage or sheer box, we recommend you do this an hour or two before the event begins, to prevent wing damage. If the box is solid or covered, you may transfer them earlier. Keeping the cage or sheer box in a cool, low light condition will help keep the; butterflies calm. When placing them outdoors, it is best not to have them in strong direct sunlight as they will be too active. Dappled sunshine is the best or even shade. However, try to release them in a sunny area so that they are encouraged to fly. In a display cage, flowers, ferns, and stems with leaves will help provide some shade for them if they are outdoors. The time of day will make a difference also. Later in the day, temperatures are cooler so the sunshine will not stimulate them as much.
What are the transfer steps?
 1. Prepare the display cage, organza box or other container. With a cardboard release box, you will need to line the box's sides with paper toweling or tulle. This will give the butterflies a place to perch themselves. If it is easier, you can line the bottom also, but this is not necessary. If you have time, you might want to consider placing a piece of tissue paper crinkled up to form peaks, into the solid box or container and let one or more corners of the tissue paper come up the side of the box. Only a small amount of tissue is needed. Then when you lift the lid off the box to release your butterflies, you can gently tug on the tissue paper to gently stimulate them all to fly out. This is not necessary but is an idea if you have the time. With the sheer box, this is not necessary as they will have light.
 2. Ensure your hands are clean and dry. Should you need to handle a butterfly, the oils from your skin will not affect the conditions of the wings.
 3. Remove the butterflies from the refrigerator and take them with the box or the cage into a small room with low ceilings (a bathroom is perfect) and shut the door while you are making the transfer.
 4. Working steadily, pick up each envelope and hold it just inside the box or the cage, open/unfold the envelope and let the butterfly slide out onto the bottom of the box or cage. As they warm up, the butterflies will start fluttering their wings and flopping about. This is normal. Keep up your work until all the butterflies are transferred, then quickly closet he lid of the box or netting. You should be able to transfer all the butterflies into your box or cage with no escapees. However, should a butterfly escape during the transfer process, you will need to recapture it. No problem. Despite what you've always been told, handling a butterfly gently will not harm it. Butterflies are attracted to light, so the escapee will fly toward a window or other source of light in the room. Simply pick it up with the wings closed, close to the body. Alternately, you can cup your hands around the escapee and transfer it to the box/cage.
Using a display cage: Once inside the display cage, the butterflies will need to be fed and watered. Please see below for those instructions. Place the butterflies in a warm, sunny area to energize. Never place them in the direct sunlight.

How to create your ideal emotional climate at home
Do you envy those families who seem to be harmonious all the time and wonder how you can also create your ideal emotional climate at home? Well, this begins with agreeing what are the feelings that are important to everyone in the family! This can be a relaxed and enriching experience involving your children by creating your family emotional charter together! After all, when you have their buy-in, it is more likely they will follow the rules!
Family Emotional Charter
I first learnt about the emotional charter from Dr. Marc Brackett and simply love the idea! So, why do you need a family emotional charter?
- Do you want to teach your child on the importance of feelings and respect towards one another's feelings?
- Do you wonder if you are meeting your child's emotional needs?
- Or, do you wish your child could understand how you feel?
- Is there a high level of tension or arguments that break out at home?
- Do you wish to create your ideal emotional climate at home?
Purpose of the Family Emotional Charter
In a Family Emotional Charter, the family come together to brainstorm and construct their own family charter. The purpose of the charter is to create the ideal emotional climate that the family wishes to experience together. Once constructed, the charter would help the family to:
- Identify the key feelings that are important to them to experience as a family
- Guide the behaviours as the family becomes mindful of choosing the behaviours or words that will help them to uphold the family charter
- Empowers one to call out an unacceptable behaviour by pointing the feeling in the Family Charter that's been violated or compromised, and gives opportunity to resolve any conflict
- Hence, creating your ideal emotional climate!
How to Create your Family Emotional Charter
So, last weekend, I finally got down to getting everyone come together to create our family emotional charter! I have modified Dr. Marc's charter to a simpler version that I find more practical for my family. So here it is!
- Each family member reflects and writes down the top 3-4 feelings they love to experience together as a family
- We then come together to write them on a visual board (the boys took the lead to write them out for us!)
- Everyone gets to clarify the meaning of the word on the board, or if the word is indeed a feeling word. However, no one is allowed to ask why the feeling is important to have for that person! This is key as all feelings are important.
- Everyone then discuss and vote on the top 3 feelings that are most important to experience as a family. We all can share our views, but ultimately this has to be an unanimous vote!
- The children then design the charter to include the agreed feelings in to the charter.
- Each family member signs and commits to uphold the charter!
- We also discuss how we would enforce the charter if someone is not adhering to it.
It's been a week since we did the Family Emotional Charter and I have to say it has been working out pretty well so far! There seems to be lesser or shorter episodes of conflicts, especially between the boys!

Key Laboratory of Industrial Ecology and Environmental Engineering, School of Environmental Science and Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China
Background: The utilization of methane for production of Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) not only cuts the emissions of greenhouse gases but also greatly reduces PHB production cost.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of gas-phase conditions on PHB production by Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b.
Materials and Methods: Bacterial cultivation and PHB production were conducted in a series of sealed serum bottles. Nitrogen-free mineral salts medium was used to induce PHB production in the presence or absence of N2 in the headspace.
Results: In the absence of N2, the highest PHB content (i.e., 52.9% of the dry cell weight with a PHB concentration of 814.3 mg.L-1) was obtained at a ratio of CH4:O2=2:1. Further study at different O2 concentrations with a fixed CH4 partial pressure in absence of N2 showed that PHB accumulation by methanotroph could be tolerated high oxygen partial pressure and its respond to the variation of the oxygen concentration depends on the methane partial pressure. In presence of N2, with headspace gas replenished only when oxygen was almost depleted, the degradation of intracellular PHB has appeared. In the regimen of updating headspace gas at the point when the PHB content began to decrease, the highest PHB content (i.e., 55.5% of the dry cell weight with 901.8 mg.L-1 PHB concentration and 12.5 mg.L-1.h-1PHB productivity) was obtained at 0.2 atm O2 and PHB accumulation was depressed with an oxygen concentration greater than 0.3 atm.
Conclusions: The methanotroph responses differentially to the increase in the oxygen partial pressure with regard to PHB accumulation either in the presence or in the absence of N2.

THE ORIGIN OF THE BOTIJO
A botijo is a clay jug that is used for cooling water.
The function of the botijo is very simple: it is based on the
principles of evaporative cooling. The botijo is typically made of
a very porous material. Therefore, as the water within filters through the
pours of the clay, it evaporates once it passes through the miniscule holes
(capillaries) and comes into contact with the supposed dry
Mediterranean-type climate. In order to change into a gaseous state, the
water needs energy which can be taken from the outside environment as
well as from the liquid that remains within, while simultaneously lowering
its temperature. This phenomenon is know as the botijo effect.
Its origin can be traced back to prehistoric times, presumably the Neolithic
era. The first versions of botijos were derived from ostrich eggs
for use by the adults, quail eggs for the children and bird eggs for the
babies. In order to distinguish one from the other, each egg would be
painted differently with the blood of animals they hunted.
The history of the botijo is revisited within the ancient
Mesopotamian cultures where the first remains of the containers similar in
shape to the modern botijo were found. The bronze era in the
Mediterranean and Hellenistic Greece saw the botijo at its greatest
when they were also used as decorative art pieces. Its decadence began at
the second half of the 20th century with the appearance of domestic
refrigerators. In Spain, where it's been used traditionally, the botijo
still remains as an ornamental element.

Role modelling and its impact on the self-development of academics
Place of Publication
School of Business and Law
Academics in higher education are expected by their institutions to enhance their self-development. Role modelling is a means by which academics may achieve pertinent self-development goals. The focus of this chapter is to explore how role modelling can be used in this regard. Through a comprehensive literature review, the dynamics of role modelling in the context of higher education is explored. The author discusses the intricate processes involved in how role modelling can positively influence the personal and professional development of academics. Theoretical perspectives of professional identity construction through role modelling are examined. The author presents the position that academics will utilise role models for personal and professional development throughout their careers. In this context, the processes of role model selection are examined, and the theoretical underpinnings guiding the achievement of self-developmental goals are discussed. The author concludes that role modelling can be applied as an avenue to personal and professional development for academics. The author also proposes practical recommendations to facilitate role modelling interventions within the context of higher education and suggests avenues for future research.

As the walk along Long Meadow to Eastcote Gardens is popular with many Pinner Residents you may be interested to hear about the Backwater project by the River Pinn currently being implemented by Hillingdon Council:
London Borough of Hillingdon has received funding from Big Green Fund to create two backwaters on the River Pinn, on areas where a meander and a backwater used to be in the past. It is also proposed re-profiling a small section of steep river bank by the footbridge to create a safe and gradual approach to the river.
The works will be undertaken as a partnership between LBHillingdon, Groundwork, Green Corridor, the Friends of Eastcote House Garden, Eastcote Resident's Association and River Pinn Volunteers.
Benefits of the Backwaters include:
- It will improve the ecological value of the land and provide a new and important wetland area for amphibians and aquatic invertebrates.
- Pre planted coir rolls will be installed to encourage marginal vegetation and purification of water.
- It will create additional offstream flood storage potential.
- Scrub and tree management would open river views and overgrown swims. Openings along the river would be aesthetically pleasing.
- Open river views and well managed paths would contribute to the general landscape of the site.

This paper proposes to put forward an innovative algorithm for symmetric key block cipher named as "Triple Prime Symmetric Key Block Cipher with Variable Key-Spaces (TPSKBCVK)" that employs triple prime integers as private key-spaces of varying lengths to encrypt data files. Principles of modular arithmetic have been elegantly used in the proposed idea of the cipher. Depending on observations of the results of implementation of the proposed cipher on a set of real data files of several types, all results are registered and analyzed. The strength of the underlying design of the cipher and the liberty of using a long key-space expectedly makes it reasonably non-susceptible against possible cryptanalytic intrusions.

This is for a loglog plot. There is another function for regular plot called MaxNLocator.
Why not using set_ticks? The situation is that I do not know where the ticks are and python does a good job in determining the location of ticks.
for i in range(10):
The trick is to use pylab.pause() instead of time.sleep. So the figure will update in each iteration instead of showing all plots when the loop finishes. This works for me, but no everyone, as far as I can tell from googling.
Suppose I have a big for loop to run (big in the sense of many iterations):
for i in range(10000)
for j in range(10000)
After hours of search I arrived at the solution using "multiprocessing" module, as the following:
x=pool.imap(f,((i,j) for i in xrange(10000) for j in xrange(10000)]))
Remark: pool.map would generate a list of arguments first and then feed the list to the function. Hence if I have a big for loop, it spends a lot of time generating the list of arguments using only 1 cpu. In contrast, imap would generate the arguments on the fly, therefore parallelizing the for loop as I wish.

I saw the phrase "Call for sb's head on a plate" in the following sentence of The New Yorker magazine's article (January 20) titled "Newt and His Wives," reporting that Gingrich was in a furor when asked by the moderator, John King, about his second and third wives during the presidential debate in South Carolina in January 19th night.
I can easily guess that 'call for sb's head on a plate' means "call for sb's resignation' here. But I can't find the heading of either "call for a head on a plate," or "a head on a plate" in any of the Oxford, Cambridge, or Merriam-Webster online dictionaries.
On the other hand, GoogleNGram registers "head on a plate," and it indicates that the phrase existed from around mid 1800, but the usage started to be prominent since circ 1930.
Is "call for sb's head on a plate," which sounds pretty raw to me, a popular phrase? I wonder if it's associated with the biblical episode of Salome, Herod's daughter who demanded the head of John the Baptist after dancing in front of her father in a feast. What is the origin of this phrase?
Your speculation is correct. The phrase is from the Bible story of the beheading of John the Baptist by Herod in Matthew 14:
(According to this site, Salome is an opera by Richard Strauss, and was based on a play written by Oscar Wilde about the death of John the Baptist. The daughter of Herodias is not named in the Bible; information about her comes from the historian Flavius Josephus, who apparently named her.)
Asking for the head of one's enemy to be presented on a platter has become a phrase denoting a desire for revenge on an enemy.
An Ngram of head on a plate vs head on a platter shows the latter phrase to be much more prevalent. As for either form being a popular idiom, because of its biblical origin, it's a phrase that many people in the US (and perhaps other English-speaking countries) would have no trouble understanding.
 - It is still understandable when translated verbatim to other languages since it is a biblical term. Danish: Hans hoved på et fad Dutch: Zijn hoofd op een schaal - seems important to bring it on the equivalent of a platter ;) etc – mplungjan Jan 21 '12 at 7:50

 - Brings to mind the head of Frankenstein's monster's head hooked up to a mobile phone charger... – mplungjan Jan 22 '12 at 19:25
 - _USER_ Oh, I looked up the term long ago; but when you first read the phrase, you think, "What?" – Gnawme Jan 22 '12 at 20:39
It is a common usage - from the biblical reference that _USER_ mentioned - and usually means that a person is not going to take revenge themselves, but feels that others should deal with this person. It is often used to say "this person has clearly broken xxx rules, so yyy should probably act"
In the case highlighted, it was used to indicate that Newt was expecting Clinton to be impeached and brought down. It has an implication of wanting to see someone destroyed, while not intending to actually do anything illegitimate to make it happen.
The Salome episode, if not the origin of the phrase, certainly "popularized" it. In its original context, it referred to the "execution" (beheading) of John the Baptist, her mother's enemy.
In the Clinton context, it refers to a figurative "beheading." Often, if a king was "brought down" (from power), he was also beheaded (e.g. Charles I or Louis XVI). In this case, it was a call for Clinton to be kicked out of the Presidency (i.e. impeached). The "beheading" part has never been part of the American tradition.

Re: Hilbert envelope bandwidth
Dear Eckard Blumschein:
Here are my answers to some of your questions.
'Who introduced the term Hilbert envelope?'
The name Hilbert envelope was given by Dennis Gabor. The Hilbert
transform was introduced into electrical
 engineering literatures by Yuk Wing Lee around 1930. Actually 'Lee had
a difficult time convincing the
senior MIT faculty at his doctoral defense of the validity of the
relation. Ultimately it was Wiener's
endorsement of the concept that allowed the work to pass and Lee to
receive his degree. (See Therrien's 2002
article in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine.)
'How to get it? Will it work in ASR?'
To get the Hilbert envelope, the Hilbert operator in the time domain or
halfway rectifier followed by low pass
filtering would normally be used. A more interesting and practical way
is to model the envelope by an
all-pole model.
Linear prediction in spectral domain (LPSD), a duality of linear
prediction, was developed by Kumaresan
and Rao (JASA 1999). In the mean time, Athineos and Ellis (ASRU 2003),
following the idea of temporal
noise shaping, proposed frequency-domain linear prediction (FDLP) and
applied it successfully to ASR first.
Even more improvement of recognition accuracy was demonstrated in their
most recent paper (Athineos,
Hermansky and Ellis in ICSLP-04), where linear predictive temporal
patterns (LP-TRAP) were introduced.
'Is it important for speech perception?'
In order to understand the relative importance of temporal Hilbert
envelope and fine structure, Smith,
Delgutte, and Oxenham (letter to nature, 2002) performed the famous
chimaeric sounds experiments
and concluded that the envelope is most important for speech perception
with increasing number of filters.
However, some of the technical issues in the design of the experiments
make their conclusion quite dubious.
Any comments are welcome.

-----Original Message-----
Dear Yadong Wang,
Perhaps, I am not the only one here who would like to understand how
Hilbert envelope differs from temporal envelope and what "temporally
flattened" does mean. I am aware of Dan Ellis and others who calculate
squared Hilbert envelope as squared magnitude of the analytic signal in
order to depict hearing as determined by envelope and fine structure
within a number of frequency bands. Smith, Delgutte, and Oxenham (letter
to nature 2002) even spoke of an 'alternative signal decomposition by
Hilbert slowly varying envelope and rapidly varying fine time
structure'. Who introduced the term Hilbert envelope?
I respect those who create new tools. However, I cannot confirm that so
many confusing redundancy in theory is really justified. Let's tear down
a lot of unnecessary sophistication after restricting to either really
elapsed time or time to come after a given point. In other words, let's
abandon the wrong belief that complex calculus must be immediately
merged with frequency analysis. Complex modulator envelopes, as demanded
by Atlas, Li, and Thompson at ICASSP 2004, are only then necessary
prerequisites of unambiguous demultiplication if Fourier transform is
used instead of cosine transform. Isn't it absurd to declare the
modulating signal non-negative but operate with unreal negative
Incidentally, misconception concerning band-limitation is widespread in
science. It even led to'measurement' of signals propagating with
superluminal speed.

This Online Tech Support page is focusing on Oracle user creation. To create user in Oracle database the simple syntax is:
CREATE USER IDENTIFIED BY ;
This command will create a new user and will apply the current database configuration setting on it. The first example will create user "john" with password "john1234".
CREATE USER john IDENTIFIED BY john1234;
While creating the users the best practice would be to let users to change their passwords on first logon and before getting access to the database. To apply this condition the additional command is PASSWORD EXPIRE. Take a look at the example below where the Oracle create user command will be executed with additional PASSWORD EXPIRE keyword:
CREATE USER john IDENTIFIED BY john1234 PASSWORD EXPIRE;
In addition, you can set to the user different Oracle tablespaces and initial quota that would be other than it is set by default. On this following example we are using the same username john and we will assign to it Oracle data tablespace JOHN_DATA and temporary tablespace JOHN_TEMP and his initial quotas will be set on 15 Mb and 10 Mb.
CREATE USER john IDENTIFIED BY john1234 DEFAULT TABLESPACE john_data QUOTA 15M ON john_data TEMPORARY TABLESPACE john_temp QUOTA 10M ON john_temp PASSWORD EXPIRE;
To create new users there is an option to use Oracle Profiles using them you can apply the same restrictions on many user. For example the restrictions could be like maximum amount of open sessions or connection times or giving grants commonly using the permissions profile.
The last part of this page we are explaining a bit a second type of user that you can create in Oracle. Those users are meant to be for external programs or tools that will only be used to connect to the database. The advantage is that these users need to be identified only first time by the external tool. When somebody is using database only via the same tool then the created user will get access only through the same program. This way create user cannot be used by any possible source and this gives a bit more security.
The next example will create Oracle user for external type of connection only.
CREATE USER john IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY DEFAULT TABLESPACE john_data QUOTA 15M ON john_data;

I don't really understand what these two questions are asking. Nor do I know how to start it.
1) Describe in words the region of $\mathbb {R}^3$ represented by: $x^2 + z^2 \le 9$.
2) Write an inequality to describe: The solid upper hemisphere of the sphere of radius 2 centered at the origin.
Can some please explain what I am supposed to do here? Thanks in advance.

For $1$, the region of space satisfying that inequality will look like a familiar shape. Can you figure out what shape? – Alex Becker Aug 25 '12 at 23:51

For question no. $1$, notice that if we plot $x^2+z^2 \le 9$ in $\mathbb R^2$, we get a filled circle of radius $3$. Add another axis, and what happens? For example, a plate is a circle, but what 3d shape is made when plates are stacked?
For question no. $2$, recall that an (empty, i.e. not solid) sphere of radius $r$ has the equation $x^2+y^2+z^2=r^2$. Noting that the radius is $3$, we have $x^2+y^2+z^2=9$. How do we now make this sphere filled? Look at what was done in question $1$ to make a filled circle.

GSvit in a nutshell
GSvit is an open source software for electromagnetic field propagation calculations via Finite Difference in Time Domain method (FDTD). In this numerical technique, electric and magnetic field values (vectors) in some computational volume are calculated iteratively, solving Maxwell equations, step by step. In order to do this, computational volume needs to be discretized very densely, which affects computational demandness of FDTD, being very large both in processor time and in memory.
Original motivation for writing GSvit was to explore parallelization possibilities offered by graphics cards in the field of numerical electromagnetics. By successive improvements it became rather universal software that can be used in different fields of physics and engineering and we continue in improving the applicability for different tasks. Already now, GSvit features both command line and graphical user interface, can be run on different operating systems and can be used with many different geometries, materials, source conditions, boundaries, etc.
To start your work with GSvit, follow the instructions on Gettng started page.

A single screen video work for cello, prepared score and CGI animation.
Cello: Sonia Cromarty
A project initiated as part of the Makrolab residency in 2002 to explore if topography can be played like the surface of a record and what might that landscape sound like? Whilst on residency at Makrolab the artist worked with a 20km square map around Glen Tilt in the Scottish Highlands. Translating it into a soundmap which could be 'driven' around using a software 'Landrover', the landstylus. Sound in this case is being harnesses as the interpretative voice to discover whether the shape of actual landforms can indeed generate a some or any of the parameters commonly associated with an emotive language such as music. The project was part inspired by the aptly named 'Hill and Dale' audio recording process pioneered by Edison in 1910.

Comparing and Merging two XML files
Comparing and Merging two XML files
The problem :
I have a xml file conversion program. It converts first.xml to target.xml. I have also written a program to convert target.xml to first.xml.
The problem is to preserve the changes made to target.xml. The user is allowed to edit the target.xml manually. For example he can add an element, modify attributes etc..
The file conversion from first.xml to target.xml is not a one-one conversion. There are scenarios like one element in first.xml is equivalent to 25 elements in the target. Further the first.xml does not capture all attributes and data needed to generate target.xml. So there are lot of values which are defaulted during initial conversion. Hence we need a round trip solution. The system should be able to import target.xml and export target.xml while preserving all changes made in target.xml
The current system
xslt is used to generate target.xml from a given first.xml. Conversion of target.xml to first.xml is again handled by xslt. Does not support round trip. ie current system looses most of the changes made manually. Other technologies used XMLBeans, JSF
The approach
Following are the list of feature needed
a) Export first.xml to target.xml
b) Import target.xml to first.xml
At a concept level the import solution can be modeled as follows
Retain the current convertion logic ( ie, extract as much as data needed for first.xml)
Generate a delta of changes.
Use the delta and merge it with the target.xml generated in export process
Activities planned
1) Identify appropriate Java based solutions
2) Evaluate each solution
3) Design the final solution
4) Implement the solution
Solutions evaluated
2) XMLBeans
4) XMLUnit
5) The "3DM" XML 3-way Merging and Differencing Tool
6) DOM
7) X-Diff
8) XML Diff and Merge Tool(Alpha works)
The initial though process is to generate the target.xml. Compare it with the one used during import. (instead of storing the delta store the whole document). Copy/overwrite/ignore the delta to the newly generated target.xml. Hence I started evaluating various options available to deeply compare the xml tree. Features needed are
a) Compare the whole document
b) Compare the elements selectively
c) Comprision has to be smart enough to ignore -- spaces, return characters, alteration of sequences, changes in positions of attributes etc..
1) XSLT --- very complex. There are couple of code fragments available out there. But I felt it was too complex to understand and maintain. Also xsl tends to be too lengthy.
2) XMLBeans -- There are two methods defined in XMLObject compareTo( Object) and compareValue(XMLObject).
public int compareTo(Object obj)
Impelements the Comparable interface by comparing two simple xml values based on their standard XML schema ordering. Throws a ClassCastException if no standard ordering applies, or if the two values are incomparable within a partial order.
public int compareValue(XmlObject obj)
This comparison method is similar to compareTo, but rather than throwing a ClassCastException when two values are incomparable, it returns the number 2. The result codes are -1 if this object is less than obj, 1 if this object is greater than obj, zero if the objects are equal, and 2 if the objects are incomparable.
There is also an implementation availble in XMLObjectBase.java. This method does not work. I downloaded the source code and trid to fix it. I was not going any where. One of the response from bea says that these methods can handle ony simple type( what ever it is) and need developers to code for handling schema based comparision.
The story with jaxb is almost the same as xml beans. The interfaces have compareTo(Object ). But there is no implementation.
4) XMLUnit
Comparing xml files is very easy in XMLUnit
Diff myDiff = new Diff(controlDocument, testDocument); XML Unit can identify similar, identical and also print all differences found with element name and attribute names. The limitation is the API is built around DOM ie, it works with org.w3c.dom.Document which represents the whole xml document. XML Unit does not support our B requrement
This project is still in alpha
6) DOM
DOM 3 has defined the behaviour for isEqualNode(). I tried the default parser in JDK 1.5 and also Xerces-J-bin.2.8.1. In either case it throws an exception saying DOM 3 implementation needed. Even Oracle parser has DOM 3 but i wonder if they have implemented isEqualNode(). The conclution is DOM 3 isEqualNode() is not yet there
7) X-Diff
No files released
8) XML Diff and Merge Tool(Alpha works)
This seems to be targeted to GUI applications. Not suitable for our requirements.
It seems comparing XML is still an under developed technology. This raises few more questions.
What happened to the do any thing and do in anywhere promise of XML. Or is this impression I got coz my exploration is limited to java world.
How does mature technologies like RDBMS handle this kind of requirements.
After-all RDBMS does handle these problems. The solution in RDBMS world are much simpler. It does not have deeply nested hierarchies. So these type of requirements are handled by manual coding. Probably we will not need sophisticated tools as in XML world.
After this exercise I had changed my approach. The new approach is use manual coding. I used XMLBeans as binding framework. Manipulate each element as java objects appropriately to handle the export and import functions.

Immigrant Population In Barcelona: Residential Characteristics And Use Of Public Space
The arrival of numerous immigrant populations in the last decade is causing deep changes in the physical and social morphology of the Spanish cities. This population locates in specific areas of our cities and has distinct settlement patterns from those of the native population. Likewise, the characteristics of their housing and the use that they make of the public space are different from those of the rest of the population. In this paper does a characterization of the physical conditions of the dwellings where this population live and of the public space that the immigrants use and the social consequences that these challenges involve. The territorial area of the research is the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona. It has been developed in different neighborhoods of the RMB with different urban and demographic characteristics and with a high concentration of immigrant population. The methodology used has been a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques. First of all, a quantitative approach on the housing and the public space of the zone of studied has been made. Afterwards, different qualitative methods to study the results in depth (participant observation, interviews, analysis of photographies) have been used. Keywords: immigrant population, housing, public space, qualitative

Between the Lines Book Club: Race in My Antonia
between the lines book club logoWelcome to Between the Lines Book Club! Our book this month is My Antonia, by Willa Cather. We'll be meeting to discuss the book on September 22, 2018, at Arden Dimick Library, at 10:30AM.
Most of the characters in My Antonia are "other" in some way. The Shimerda's are strange to the Burden family, with their outpourings of emotion and their dried mushrooms. The Hired Girls all come from recent immigrant families, and are both admired and shunned by the area's more well-established residents.
In Book 2, Chapter 7, Jim meets a blind, Black piano player, known as Blind d'Arnault. Jim admires d'Arnaults's independence (he "refuses to be led") and his musical ability. However, despite expressing admiration for d'Arnault, Jim describes him in racist and stereotypical terms.
This led me to think of the following questions:
1. How can we read between the lines, and how much does Cather intend for us to do so? Does Martha hide her mixed-race son because he's "ugly", or because she's afraid he'll be sold and/or she'll be punished for the possibility that she was raped by her male owner? Is d'Arnaut really "docile" or is this simply what people around him like to believe? Does he retain a strong sense of personality separate from what we hear Jim say about him? Do Cather and Jim see d'Arnault the same way?
2. Is d'Arnault autistic? He is slow to talk, rocks back and forth constantly, and is a musical savant. How is he portrayed in contrast to Antonia's disabled brother?
3. How does Cather's description of d'Arnault differ from her proper "Americans," the shrill and canny Shimerdas, the morose Russians Pavel and Peter, the ethereal scholar Gaston Cleric, and other characters?
4. What is the purpose of this passage?
5. A lot of readers and critics seem to ignore this passage altogether. How should we treat passages like this in older fiction (My Antonia was first published in 1918). How does the passage affect your opinion of the book overall?

|Region||Tororo District, Uganda|
|Native speakers||360,000 (2002 census)|
Adhola, also known as Jopadhola and Ludama, is a dialect of Southern Luo spoken by the Adhola people (AKA Jopadhola or Badama) of Uganda. Dhopadhola is generally mutually intelligible with Acholi, Lango, Kumam, and Alur of Uganda and Dholuo of Kenya.
The prefix dho means "language of". It can be attached to a nationality or speech community to imply the language of such a people. jo means "people of". The infix pa means possessive 'of'.
Dhopadhola thus means the language spoken in Padhola.
Padhola is the area or region where Dhopadhola is spoken.
Jopadhola is the plural of Japadhola; a person who speaks Dhopadhola. Hence, Jopadhola are speakers of Dhopadhola.
Ja is a prefix meaning the 'doer' or a person belonging to a particular place or position. The plural is Jo. That is, people who do something or belong to a particular place or organisation.
Jafwonji means a teacher.
Jofwonji means teachers.
Jawer means a singer.
Jower means singers.
Janywol means a parent.
Jonywol means parents.
Japach means a carpenter.
Jopach means carpenters.

In this paper we use information on the cyclical variation of labor market participation to learn about the aggregate labor supply elasticity. For this purpose, we extend the standard labor market matching model to allow for endogenous participation. A model that is calibrated to replicate the variability of unemployment and participation, and the negative correlation of unemployment and GDP, implies an aggregate labor supply elasticity along the extensive margin of around 0.3 for men and 0.5 for women. This is in line with recent micro-econometric estimates.
Another paper that tries to reconcile macro and micro estimates of the labor supply elasticity. The novel approach here is to exploit information about the participation rate.


When const doesn't mean const
 Delphi Comments Off on When const doesn't mean const
Mar 202015
Consider this code:
procedure SplitAt(const _Input: string; _Position: integer; out _Head, _Tail: string);
 _Head := Copy(_Input, 1, _Position-1);
 _Tail := Copy(_Input, _Position);
It's meant to split a given string into two parts at the given position.
Nothing fancy, really, isn't it?
Now, consider this call to the procedure above:
 s1: string;
 s2: string;
 s1 := 'hello world';
 SplitAt(s1, 5, s1, s2);
 WriteLn('s1: "', s1, '"');
 WriteLn('s2: "', s2, '"');
Which output do you expect?
The output I got certainly wasn't what I expected:
s1: ""
s2: ""
I took me a while to understand what happened:
It has been brought to my attention, that the following explanation is wrong:
The compiler passes the parameters right to left, so the first parameter it passes is s2, then s1, then 5 and last s1 again as the input. Since the two rightmost parameters are *out* parameters it clears them before passing them, so s1 is already an empty string when it gets passed as input.
What actually happens is that regardless of the order in which the parameters are passed clearing of the out parameters happens. This clears s1 and it doesn't matter whether it was already passed as Input or not since strings in Delphi are always passed as pointers.
Not quite what I would have expected. It doesn't help to remove the const modifier either.

Croda Supports Hand Sanitiser Manufacture and Vaccine Development During Covid-19 Outbreak
Croda International Plc, who use smart science to create, make and sell speciality chemicals that improve lives, are supporting the manufacturer of hand sanitiser during the outbreak of Covid-19 through the supply of additional glycerine to their customers in Western Europe, free of charge.
The outbreak of Covid-19 has seen a global shortage in items such as hand sanitisers, and to help their customers supply essential items during the pandemic, to date, Croda has gifted enough glycerine to manufacture five million* bottles of hand sanitiser. The company plans to review with customers where more glycerine could be gifted. The glycerine in hand sanitiser helps to protect hands from the drying effects of other ingredients, such as alcohol.
Croda's leading saponin vaccine adjuvants are also being gifted to projects across the world that are working on a vaccination for Covid-19. Whilst not confirmed that they will be in a final vaccine, the company's smart science has a valuable role to play in the development of an effective and safe vaccine for Covid-19. Read more


Museo Vigeland
The Vigeland Museum (Vigeland-museet, often called Vigelandsmuseet ) is a museum in Oslo, Norway.
Its history began in 1919 when noted sculptor Gustav Vigeland made an offer to Oslo Municipality to donate his works sometime in the future. Vigeland's total body of works consisted not only of sculptures, but also woodcuts, drawings, sketches and photographs as well as letters, other writings and a personal library. In return, Vigeland wanted an atelier. The atelier could be rebuilt as a museum after his death. Even Vigeland's flat on the third floor was preserved as a part of the museum.
The building of the would-be museum commenced in 1921, as soon as a contract between Vigeland and Oslo had been formalized. The architects were Lorentz Harboe Ree and Carl Buch, and the style was neo-classic. In 1923 Vigeland moved in, one year before the middle part and northern wing were completed. The southern wing was completed in 1930. The atelier was used by both Vigeland and other artists.
Vigeland died in 1943, during the hard economic times of World War II. The building was opened as a public museum in 1947, partially thanks to budget surplus from the municipal cinema company Oslo Kinematografer. The museum is still owned by Oslo municipality via its etat of culture, and the current museum director is Jarle Strømodden.

With the increasing tendency of information technology (IT) applications, knowledge integration in organization has emerged as an important research topic for both practitioners and researchers, reflecting the magnitude and impact of knowledge resource in distributed environments. Practically, data, information, and knowledge are transmitted via various media, and integration capability is the antecedent of knowledge integration in organizations. However, few literatures research knowledge integration from the comprehensive perspective of transmission media and integration capability. As a complement to previous research, this study proposes a comprehensive theoretical model of knowledge integration (KIM) by incorporating valuable perspectives of media characteristics and organizational capability. This research model provides a new lens for knowledge integration based on transmission media in organizations by integrating relevant research streams. Furthermore, this robust and new model, which has been applied to a knowledge integration practice of e-commerce platform, can be used to explain the most knowledge integration phenomenon in contemporary society.

The cross grid encoder is an optical diffraction grating type encoder to measure two-dimensional position of a optical head by using a grid plate where grids are aligned orthogonal to each other. The cross grid encoder can be applied to measure two-dimensional motion errors of high-precision and ultra-precision machine tools, such as the straightness error or the squareness error. As a basis to establish a methodology to measure evaluate motion accuracy of highand ultra-precision machine tools by using the cross grid encoder, this paper presents a self-calibration scheme of a measurement error of the cross grid encoder caused mainly by the misalignment of grids. The measurement error corresponding to the location on the grid plate is calibrated by comparing three measurements taken with different orientation of the grid plate. It is experimentally validated that the measurement error of the cross grid encoder is reduced by about 85% at maximum by applying the self-calibration and the compensation of measurement errors.

Validation Obligations: A Novel Approach to Check Compliance between Requirements and their Formal Specification
Sprache des Vortragstitels:
43rd ICSE (NIER) 2021: Madrid, Spain
Sprache des Tagungstitel:
Traditionally, practitioners use formal methods pre-dominately for one half of the quality-assurance process: verification (do we build the software right?). The other half - validation (do we build the right software?) - has been given comparatively little attention. While verification is the core of refinement-based formal methods, where each new refinement step must preserve all properties of its abstract model, validation is usually postponed until the latest stages of the development, when models can be automatically executed. Thus mistakes in requirementsor in their interpretation are caught too late: usually at the endof the development process. In this paper, we present a novelapproach to check compliance between requirements and theirformal refinement-based specification during the earlier stages ofdevelopment. Our proposed approach - "validation obligations"- is based on the simple idea that both verification and validationare an integral part of all refinement steps of a system.

When planning an event, it's crucial to ensure that all attendees, including those with disabilities, have equal access to essential facilities. Portable restrooms play a vital role in providing sanitation solutions, but traditional units may not fully meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. This is where ADA portable restroom trailers come in. In this blog post, we will discuss the advantages of ADA portable restroom trailers and how they make events more accessible for everyone.
Understanding ADA Compliance
Before diving into the advantages of ADA portable restroom trailers, it's important to understand ADA compliance. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various areas, including public accommodations. By adhering to ADA guidelines, event organizers can ensure equal access for all attendees, regardless of their physical abilities.
Advantages of ADA Portable Restroom Trailers
1. Wheelchair Accessibility
One of the primary advantages of ADA portable restroom trailers is their wheelchair accessibility. These trailers are specifically designed to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges. They feature wider doors and spacious interiors that can easily accommodate wheelchairs and mobility devices. With ramps and non-slip flooring, these trailers provide a safe and convenient restroom experience for individuals using wheelchairs.
2. Grab Bars and Handrails
ADA portable restroom trailers are equipped with strategically placed grab bars and handrails to ensure stability and support for individuals with disabilities. These features allow users to safely navigate within the restroom trailer, providing them with the necessary assistance and preventing falls or accidents. The presence of grab bars and handrails is essential for individuals who may have difficulty with balance or require additional support while using the facilities.
3. Height-Adjusted Fixtures
Another significant advantage of ADA portable restroom trailers is the inclusion of height-adjusted fixtures. These trailers are designed with sinks, mirrors, and toilets at appropriate heights, making it easier for individuals with disabilities to use them comfortably and independently. Height-adjusted fixtures ensure that individuals using wheelchairs or with limited mobility can reach and use the facilities without assistance, promoting independence and dignity.
4. Spacious Design
ADA portable restroom trailers offer a spacious and open design to accommodate individuals with disabilities. The larger interior allows for maneuverability and ample space to navigate, especially for individuals using mobility aids or requiring assistance from caregivers. The spacious design also benefits individuals with claustrophobia or anxiety, providing a more comfortable and accessible restroom experience.
5. Family-Friendly Features
In addition to catering to the needs of individuals with disabilities, ADA portable restroom trailers also include family-friendly features. These features include changing stations for parents with infants or young children, ensuring that families have accessible and convenient facilities at the event. The inclusion of family-friendly features promotes inclusivity and creates a welcoming environment for attendees of all ages.
ADA portable restroom trailers are a game-changer when it comes to making events more accessible for individuals with disabilities. These trailers offer numerous advantages, from wheelchair accessibility to grab bars, height-adjusted fixtures, and spacious designs. By providing equal access to restrooms, event organizers can create an inclusive and welcoming environment, ensuring that everyone can fully participate in the event. ADA portable restroom trailers not only meet the requirements of ADA compliance but also demonstrate a commitment to accessibility for all attendees, regardless of their abilities.

 Something that was much insisted on when I was at school, because i guess some kids found it hard to get their heads round. Like 1M HCl or NaOH are 1N but 1M H2SO4 or Na2CO3 are 2N. You get the idea? - it's the same as the distinction between molar masses and equivalent masses (or weights as we used to call them).
 I think they have been phased out of teaching now, have they? If so it's no loss, they are unnecessary.

 Normality meant different things at different moments in time. There was a period when normality depended on the reaction - so 1M sulfuric acid was 2N in the reaction with NaOH, but 1N inteh reaction with CaCl. Then IUPAC decided to make it always reaction with H+ or e- - so 1M sulfuric acid would be always 2N. Then, IUPAC decided they created so much confusion it is better to deprecate normality at all.
Have something to add?

text: The impact of drought on tree water use was investigated in remnant forest in the Liverpool Plains NSW. Tree water use was measured using commercial sap flow testers from December 2002 to September 2004 which corresponded with a period of drought and a period of higher rainfall. Understorey evapotranspiration and soil moisture were also measured. Water use of the stand of trees was a larger proportion of annual total rainfall (87%) during the drought period than during the post-drought period (50% water use) when rainfall was higher. Understorey water use was about 20% of rainfall, suggesting that the understorey evapotranspiration component of the water balance can make a significant contribution to water use and the availability of water for groundwater recharge. The results indicate that the remnant forest was able to survive during the drought because of deep roots. The findings also demonstrate the valuable role forests play in maintaining the hydrological balance and in ameliorating the development of dryland salinity in agricultural areas (A).

The giant turn-of-the-century water meter displayed at the Quemahoning Reservoir's family recreational area is "symbolic of the immense impact that the dam has had in the region," said James Greco, Cambria Somerset Authority chairman.
The 40-foot-long pipe-like device measured the flow of billions of gallons of water to the Johnstown steel mills for nearly 100 years without a single failure, he said at a dedication ceremony Friday for the Venturi Meter Historic Display and Museum. To produce one ton of steel, it took 271 tons of water.
The museum houses photographs, documents and multimedia displays detailing the construction and history of the dam. Greco called the displays the first generation. Members of the Cambria Somerset Authority, the owners of the Que, hope that visitors will add to the display with more pictures and artifacts.
On Friday more than two dozen county officials and business representatives strolled down the hill from the pavilion where the dedication ceremony had been held. Numerous families were setting up campsites nearby. Adults and children laughed and called to each other as they frolicked in the roped-off water area or soaked up the sun on the small beach.
"On Memorial Day we counted 85 kids at one time in the water at the beach," Greco said.
Last summer there were 15,000 visitor days, and this year it looks like that number may be surpassed, he said.
Greco called projects like the meter and museum a "critical draw" for visitors to the historic and recreational area.
Greco and Somerset County Commissioner Jim Marker spoke at the dedication, along with John M. McGrath, associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, who produced the meter and museum multimedia display.
In the early 1900s the Venturi Meter was used to measure the water flowing to Johnstown's mills. At that time it was the largest meter built on the East Coast. It was designed to operate with no moving parts, he said. At its greatest diameter, the meter is as tall as the average American woman, or 64 inches.
"There are so many layers of history," McGrath said of the reservoir.
The six layers begin with the Native Americans, who named the area, which translated means "the lick in the pines," he said. Other layers include early settlers, steel mills and the building of a water resource for industrial and recreational growth and for increasing the quality of life for local residents with quality drinking water, he said.
"The last layer is probably the most promising because it is open ended," McGrath said.
Marker agreed, stating that "the best history of this dam lies in the future."
He said the reservoir will continue to be an economic generator for the area.
The meter and museum cost approximately $40,000, with funding donated by 1st Summit Bank of Johnstown, the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies, Cambria Somerset Authority, Summer's Best 2 Weeks, Somerset Trust Co. and L.R. Kimball, the Ebensburg engineering firm.
The Somerset County Tourism Grant Program also contributed to the financing of the project. Representatives of all the contributors attended the dedication.
