Threaded Rod 101: Dimensions
Welcome back to our Threaded 101 series! Be sure to read our previous articles on finishes, materials, and tensile strength to catch up. This article provides an overview of dimensions associated with threaded rods.
With so many different sizes and measurements, threaded rod dimensions can be complicated. The important dimensions for threaded products are diameter, thread pitch, and length (Figure 1). This is also the order typically used to specify a productdiameter, thread pitch, length.
Figure 1: Threaded Rod Dimensions
There are several different diameter measurements associated with threaded rods. First is the major diameter, which is the largest diameter of the screw thread, measured from thread crest to thread crest. Next is the minor diameter, which is the smallest diameter of the screw thread, measured from thread root to thread root. Minor diameter is sometimes referred to as root diameter. Lastly, pitch diameter is the simple effective diameter of screw thread, approximately halfway between the major and minor diameters. All diameters are measured in either inches or millimeters.
When specifying a threaded rod, the nominal major diameter should be used. This can be expressed as a fraction, decimal, or machine screw number.
Thread Count and Pitch
Thread count is measured in threads per inch (TPI). Typically, Inch-Standard fasteners use thread count while thread pitch is used for Metric fasteners. Thread pitch is the distance from a point on the screw thread to a corresponding point on the next thread measured parallel to the axis, typically measuring the distance between thread crests. Thread pitch is often measured in millimeters. TPI and thread pitch are determined by the thread series. The most common thread series are Unified Coarse (UNC), Unified Fine (UNF), Acme, 8-pitch (UN8), Metric coarse, and Metric fine.
When specifying a threaded rod, the TPI or thread pitch comes after the major diameter. Inch-Standard fasteners use TPI while Metric fasteners use thread pitch. A dash (-) commonly separates the TPI from the major diameter specified. An "x" commonly separates the thread pitch from the major diameter for Metric threads. Specifying the thread series is not uncommon, but it is not necessary since the TPI or thread pitch will indicate that information.
Class of Fit
Class of fit is a designation used to specify the amount of tolerance/allowance between mating threads. Essentially, it is a designation of how the internal and external threads fit together. For Unified thread series there are six main classes, three for external threads and three for internal threads. These are designated by the numbers 1, 2, and 3 followed by either "A" or "B". The "A" designation represents external threads while the "B" designation represents internal threads. Class 1A fits allow for the largest tolerances and are used in many commercial applications for easy assembly and disassembly. Class 2A fits are tighter than 1A fits and are used for some commercial and aerospace applications. Class 3A fits are the tightest and allow for the smallest tolerances. These are used in precision applications where a close fit is required.
For Metric thread series, there are many more classes. These have two sets of alphanumeric designations, one for the pitch diameter and one for the major diameter. They are usually shown in the following format: 6g6g. When the two tolerances are the same, the class of fit can be simplified to one alphanumeric pairing (in this case: 6g). The numbers represent the tolerance grade while the letters represent the tolerance position. Smaller numbers indicate a tighter fit while smaller letters (closer to the beginning of the alphabet) indicate more allowance. External threads are designated by lower-case letters. Internal threads are designated by upper-case letters. The most common class of fit for Metric thread series is 6g for external threads and 6H for internal threads.
When specifying a threaded rod, the class of fit comes after the TPI/thread pitch. A dash (-) commonly separates the TPI/thread pitch from the class of fit.
For the length, it is important to identify if the overall length of the product is being measured, or from first thread to first thread (see Figure 2 below). Overall length refers to the entire length of the product, from end to end. First thread to first thread refers to the measurement from the first complete thread on one end to the first complete thread on the other end. This measurement does not take into account the partial threads and chamfers on the ends of the rod.
Figure 2: Length: Overall vs 1st Thread to 1st Thread
When specifying a threaded rod, the length comes after the class of fit. The two are commonly separated by an "x" (read as "by"). Length should be in units of inches for Inch-Standard fasteners and millimeters for Metric fasteners.
Another area of measurement for double-ended and single-ended studs is the thread length, which refers to the threading on the end of the product. Thread lengths can be equal or unequal on the threaded product. For example, the product can be a 20" overall length double-ended stud, with a 2-inch thread on one end, and a 6-inch thread on the other end.
To review, when specifying a threaded rod, the nominal major diameter comes first. This is followed by a dash (or "x") and the TPI/thread pitch along with the thread series. Next is a dash and the class of fit. The length is the last necessary dimension, being separated from the class of fit by an "x".
Example of how to specify dimensions for fully threaded rods:
¼" – 20 UNC – 1A x 6"
M12 x 1.75 – 6g x 200mm
Now that you have a basic understanding of the dimensions associated with threaded rods, you can be confident that your order will fulfill the requirements of your application.

The Ultimate Glossmeter Upgrade
Haze is a common problem associated with coatings and polished materials. Surfaces with haze have a "milky" finish with a "shallow" reflected image. This important characteristic is directly measured with the Rhopoint IQ. THE RHOPOINT IQ MEASURES 20/60/85° GLOSS • RSPEC • REFLECTANCE HAZE REFLECTED IMAGE QUALITY • DISTINCTNESS OF IMAGE GONIOPHOTOMETRIC CURVES
A measurement proportional to the amount of light reflected from a surface. Geometry: The correct measurement geometry should be used according to the sample finish – matt: 85°, mid gloss: 60°, high gloss: 20°.
The peak gloss measured over a very narrow angle. Usage: It is very sensitive to surface texture and can be used to identify subtle differences in smooth surfaces.
An optical effect caused by microscopic texture or residue on a surface. Visible Symptoms: A milky finish is apparent on the surface with a loss of reflected contrast. Halos and patterns can be seen around reflections of high intensity light sources. Causes: Poor dispersion, raw material incompatibility, additive migration, vehicle quality, stoving/drying/curing conditions, polishing marks, fine scratches, ageing, oxidisation, poor cleanliness/surface residue.
Reflective Haze Compensation
The instrument compensates for reflection from within the coating for highly reflective pigments, metallic coatings and speciality pigments, allowing the haze of any painted surface to be measured
Reflected Image Quality (RIQ)
RIQ is used to quantify effects such as orange peel and surface waviness. This new parameter gives higher resolution results compared to Distinctness of Image (DOI) measurement and better mimics human perception of surface texture, especially on high quality finishes such as automotive. Symptoms of Poor RIQ: Orange peel, brush marks, waviness or other structures visible on the surface. Reflected images are distorted. Causes: Application problems, incorrect coating flow, coating viscosity too high/low, sag or flow of coating before curing, incorrect particle size/distribution, overspray, improper flash/recoat time, inter coat compatibility, incorrect cure times and cure temperature.

Objective: Military life involves unique occupational exposures, including increased job demands, work-family conflict, sexual harassment and assault, and combat-related deployment experiences. The purpose of this study was to compare age differences in self-reported mental health outcomes for women and men with and without a history of active duty military service in a non-institutionalized, population-based sample.
Methods: We used weighted data from the 2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (n=415,364) to assess the association between active duty military service and self-reported mental health outcomes. We conducted sexand age-stratified multivariate logistic regression using Stata version 11.
Results: Compared to their civilian counterparts, women and men aged 18 to 44 with active duty military service were significantly less likely to report one or more days of "not good" mental health in the past 30 days (OR=0.78, OR=0.73, respectively) or to have an elevated Kessler-6 score (OR=0.57, OR=0.79, respectively). Mental health outcomes were similar for women and men in older age groups regardless of military exposure.
Conclusion: Younger individuals with active duty military service were less likely to report mental health issues than non-military women and men from the same age group. It is possible that some aspects of military training may promote mental health for those most proximal to the exposure or that military service affords younger individuals greater access to mental health screening, education, prevention, and treatment than civilian women and men.

What is the boiling point of a solution that contains 3 moles of KBr in 2000g of water?
a) 97 Degrees C
b) 99.7 Degrees C
c)101.4 Degrees C
d) 103 degrees c
1 Answer | Add Yours
When a nonvolatile esolute is dissolved in water, according to Raoult's laws, there will be an elevatio in the boiling point of water. The extent of elevation is given by
'DeltaTb = i*Kb *m', where i is the number of species obtained from the dissociation (or association)of one molecule of the solute in solution, Kb is a constant, called molal ebullioscopic constant for a particular solvent, and m is the molal strength of the solute.
For water, Kb = 0.512,
Molality is the number of moles of solute dissolved per 1Kg solvent.
Here, 3 moles of KBr is dissolved in 2Kg water, therefore molality = 3/2 = 1.5.
KBr is an electrolyte, completely dissociating in aqueous solution as
KBr (s)→ K+(aq.) + Br-(aq.)
Hence i = 2.
Putting these values in equation,
ΔTb = 2*0.512 *1.5
Therefore, boiling point of the solution would be 100+1.536 = 101.5 degrees (approximately).
Correct answer is therefore, option c)101.4 Degrees C.

Extended Side Angle Pose
What is Extended Side Angle Pose?
Extended side angle pose, or utthita parsvakonasana in Sanskrit, is a standing pose that's often sequenced in between warrior poses. From warrior two, the yogi leans their torso toward their bent leg and reaches their arm in line with the torso. The pose provides a deep stretch to the groin and hamstrings.
- Begin in warrior two with the right leg bent.
- Exhale and lean the torso to the right. Rest the right forearm on the right thigh and reach the left arm overhead.
- To deepen the pose, exhale and lower the right fingertips to the floor. Stretch the left arm alongside the ear so that it's in line with the torso.
- Breathe while holding the pose.
- Inhale and return to warrior two. Change sides and repeat.
- Look toward the floor if there is neck pain
Benefits of Extended Side Angle Pose
- Strengthens the legs, knees and ankles
- Strengthens the core
- Stretches the groin and hamstrings
- Relieves shoulder stiffness
- Relieves sciatica
- Improves elimination

In 1880, Gustave Lundberg and Christian Carff, planing mill operators, set up a direct current electric light plant, probably the first in Utah. It was a small Thompson-Houston machine with a capacity of fifty arcs, providing five lights for Logan City at $15.00 per month per light. January, 1886, the Logan Electric Light and Power Company was organized, capital stock $5000, one-half subscribed by Lundberg and Garff and the balance by Logan City Commissioners. In 1888, the city acquired complete ownership and it became Utah's first municipal electric light plant.

Manitoba entrepreneur helping kids and youth dealing with mental illness.
People with animals at home know the feeling of unconditional love pets can provide. Now that same unconditional love is being used to help adolescents with emotional and mental difficulties to get well.
Lil' Steps Miniature and Wellness Farm in St. Malo Manitoba provides Equine Facilitated Wellness (EFW) for children and youth. In EFW, children and youth engage in team emphasized or individual sessions with the horse as the teacher. It is an experiential and process orientated experience for the child; where he/she will learn various life skills in a therapeutic and fun setting.
Lucy Fouasse, founder of Lil' Steps, opened the doors to the farm two years ago. Fouasse has spent the last 17 years working in the counselling field in many different capacities from justice, to mental health, and others. But it wasn't until four years ago when Fouasse was on the other side of the counselling, that she realized the important part animals can play in mental health.
"I suffered a serious head injury that left me unable to work and with a number of symptoms that made my day-to-day tasks very difficult," says Fouasse who suffered from migraines, double vision, short-term memory loss, and anxiety.
"I purchased two miniature horses and would spend every day with them and through this I noticed a change in myself. I was learning to be in the present moment through mindfulness and this helped my anxiety tremendously."
Once Fouasse was on the road to recovery she decided to meld her love for animals and counselling background together to help others. After doing some research, Fouasse noticed there was a definite need for this kind of counselling.
"I recognized that there were a number of people who would fall through the cracks of the systems," Fouasse says. "I wanted to create a service that was available to all children and youth and affordable through a sliding scale model. My service fits around the individual as opposed to the individual having to meet criteria for the service."
Studies suggest there is an instinctive bond between humans and animals. Our ancestors may have looked to animals for signals of whether they were in a safe environment or not. If animals are in a calm, peaceful state, the hypothesis says that humans are able to interpret this as a signal that we can relax. Fouasse says each animal has different characteristics that can help people.
"When you look at the brain waves of a horse and how they are always in the present moment due to being a prey animal, just by being around them can change our own brain waves to do the same," says Fouasse who adds horses are very intuitive and can sense the energy of a child, which allows a perfect mirror reflection to the child on their on their own energy and emotions. "Recognizing our own emotions is essential in the therapeutic work in healing."
According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, It is estimated that 10-20% of Canadian youth are affected by a mental illness or disorder – the single most disabling group of disorders worldwide.
Today, approximately 5% of male youth and 12% of female youth, age 12 to 19, have experienced a major depressive episode.
The total number of 12-19 year olds in Canada at risk for developing depression is a staggering 3.2 million.
"I would say that one of the primary pieces that all kids walk away from is confidence and a better sense of self. At the farm, you can be who you are…it's a place to be and become. The animals accept you fully and are honest in a non-judgemental way with their feedback to the youth on their behaviours towards the animals."
There are many different animals at the farm, each with their own personalities.
"My five pound dog Serenity teaches about confidence and fear. She is the boss of the farm," says Fouasse who adds that sometimes lacks some healthy fear. "We discuss how anxiety is a good thing for us and how this helps us to keep safe. We talk about her confidence in that she is only five pounds (and then I usually cover Serenity's ears as I tell the children this), but she thinks she is 100 pounds and this is how confidence works – if we believe we are bigger than we are then we can do anything."
The farm also boasts three rats who teach the kids not to judge a book by its cover, a fainting goat who teaches youth about anxiety and how it feels within the body, and a 1200 pound horse named "Fleur" who can be pretty intimidating to a youth, but learning if kids can keep their energy relaxed and in the moment, they'll earn trust and respect from Fleur.
In the last few years, mental health awareness has definitely increased. Fouasse says she feels very optimistic that they are on the right track.
"I do think we have a way to go, however we are much more understanding and knowledgeable that we were years back," adds Fouasse. "I am hoping and dreaming one day that people can talk about mental health as easily as we talk about physical health. We will need to be conscious on continuing to educate people about the truth of mental health and how mental illness does not define us. Once we can recognize that mental illness is no different than different physical ailments and we need to be accepting, non-judgmental and open to helping others – than we can provide an atmosphere for people to heal – just like the farm does."

Debt of Gratitude: A Filipino Social Phenomenon
"Scratch my back and I will scratch yours." - This describes the prevailing Filipino social phenomenon of debt of gratitude. It is an attempt of one to repay the other, who in the past had done something good or beneficial to him or her. This has been magnified by other social phenomena such as the continued emigration of Filipino workers outside the Philippines, such that remittances are actually in the form of payment to their families, as an expression of long-lasting debt of gratitude. This is just an example of how this phenomenon has shaped the Filipino society and culture.
In this blogpost, an in-depth analysis will be made to showcase the advantages and disadvantages of this phenomena, as various concepts and ideas revolving around it are enumerated throughout the discussion.
1. It exists in any type of relationship; familial, working, spiritual and others.
Because of man's social nature, there will be periods of self-sufficiency and vulnerability. During time of vulnerability, one needs help of others to pursue one's desire. It is therefore easy to ask for help, rather than attempt to do it alone. The Church could help in a way through advices, and through its teachings. The family ofcourse is an important social aspect that supports an individual unconditionally. Furthermore, work superiors and colleagues have contributed for one's survival. All of these relationships are source of debt of gratitude. As long as there is something good to one, a mere "thank you" is not enough since the person owes debt in gratitude to others from that time on.
2. It is an implied contract between at least two entities.
Debt of gratitude is about reciprocity. There is an exchange of benefits, regardless of what form it is. The magnitude of benefits varies from a little gift to an eternal familial loyality to an institution or a person. The challenge with this benefits is that it is non-consummable. It is therefore not sufficient to repay one or twice or thrice, for goodness is unquantifiable. The goodness will never be repaid, and the obligation exists as long as there is someone who remembers it. It is type of unwritten contract without expiry, validity and concreteness.
3. It is a result of colonialism.
Unfortunately, debt of gratitude stems from the Philippines' colonial past. Filipinos were made to believe that they are still unprepared for self-rule. It is therefore required for the colony to seek protection from external invasion, given that the colony is militarily and economically weak and small to defend itself. However, it is safe to say that colonialism is created European concept. The British, Spaniards, French, German, Dutch, Italians and other major European "superpowers" raced to conquer the world. They self-proclaimed dominion over land masses, disrespecting aborigines and traditions of the lands they dominated. Therefore, European colonizers are also responsible for this Filipino social phenomenon. They made their subjects believe that they are not independent amd capable, and the only way to exist is to be slaves, servants and parasites to their colonizing nation.
4. It is encouraged by religious teachings through stewardship.
To be generous and of service of others is the primary teaching of the Church. It is stated in passages of holy scriptures. However, the interpretations have gone to way varied. To be subservient is quite different from offering service to others. Offering service is quite limited to time, place and situation. On the other hand, to be subservient is limitless and self-sacrificial. These acts has been enshrouded in the rationale of stewardship, such that everyone encouraged to take care of each other, thereby making it obligatory to help others and expect others to do the same. There is no end for this exchange, and this is where others abuse and have been abused. There is therefore a need to delineate, what is enough and what is too much, an act itself contrary and in dilemma against Church teachings.
5. It is a means to address competition.
To answer why there is a need for debt of gratitude. It is actually reciprocal means to survive a highly-competitive social environment. Resources are scarce, such that building alliances and support groups is a must, rather optional. One could compare debt of gratitude as a currency in a hunting society, hungry and always in need of food and resources. This is quite similar living in a country of over 100 million people. There is always a constant struggle to outwit and outdo others. That is the ultimate problem, which in part or wholly resolved through debt of gratitude.
6. It fuels corruption and nepotism.
Benefits is the focus of debt of gratitude. In the Philippine society, there exists three types of benefits, legal, illegal and everything in between. Because there exists a very large gray zone in the social structure, people are given the leeway to decide on their own to interpret what is right and wrong. Here is where debt of gratitude interplays, the same leeway and decision power is utilized to yield something good, as a payment for debt of gratitude. Instead of selecting the best applicants for the government positions, the deciding power will give it to a close relative or recommended applicants of a person the individual owes debt of gratitude. In this way, corruption and nepotism magnifies and trickles in all sectors of the society.
7. It breeds conflicts and dilemmas.
To remain loyal to person one owes debt of gratitude or to follow the truth and justice is something usual dilemma created by debt of gratitude. Wrongdoings are tolerated to accomodate someone to do good. Moreover, people are forced to be in conflict with others by showing loyalty to a person. There is no value in objectivity and self-judgment in debt of gratitude. What is important is to repay someone for an act, which is in the first place, not repayable and subjective.
8. It usually involves money and authority.
Money and authority are two most powerful encouraging factors in debt of gratitude. For money to grow, a person needs someone to work and help him or her for it. Through debt of gratitude, it convenient and easy to fulfill this task. In the same way, to go up the ladder of social class, one requires the helping hand of another, who is superior in money and power. Money and power have become exchange vehicles in paying debt of gratitude. The problem occurs when power and interests overlaps with one and another, creating a bigger power struggle among power-thirsty entities.
9. It is Filipino's way of fulfilling social ethical obligations.
No one is an island. We are all made to believe on this. There is no one who will expess dissent on this principle. That is just a way of life. This is true for Filipinos as well. Naturally helpful to others, Filipinos will wholeheartedly share time, resources and money to be of help of others. This is the main advantage of debt of gratitude, knowing there are still people who care. The non-existence of debt of gratitude means the non-existence of care itself, and perhaps love. However, justifying mainly the incorrectness of debt of gratitude is in itself not sufficient if it is only based on love and care. There must limitations to using these reasons so as to avoid abuse and perpetual exploitation.
10. It is a form of perpetual modern-day slavery and indebtness.
Since the nature of goodness is unrepayable, one who owes debt of gratitude will never be capable of giving back to the person, who did good to him. The more significant the benefit one has received, the more timeless debt of gratitude become. Worse, family members are made to honor this debt even after the death of the primary person in debt. The person who gave the benefit will never be satisfied, with any kind of service or act. Debt of gratitude becomes eternal and irrevocable. The person who received the benefit will work harder and harder for a debt, in reality, he or she is not capable of paying, resulting to dependent relationship nearing to the concept of slavery.
I have to admit that during I wrote this blogpost, I was influenced by a personal experience related to debt of gratitude. I am honestly irritated by the situation, so it would seem that I am quite biased and negative in my perspective on this Filipino social phenomena. I made an attempt to balance how I wrote the article, at least. It is therefore upon the reader's judgment. However, I think a pessimistic point-of-view is needed to balance the discussion. Debt of gratitude has long been tolerated by the Filipino society. Its incorrectness has been continuously ignored and unchallenged, and sometimes hailed by the government as a form of sacrifice and heroism. Objectively, every Filipino deserves to determine what he or she wants without being influenced by social phenomena thay hinders his or her utmost potential, freedom and happiness.

The present study is an investigation of the relationship between irrational beliefs and thought suppression in predicting distress in cancer patients. While there is a significant amount of data supporting their role as vulnerability factors for distress, no attempts have been made so far to study the relationships between these two individual characteristics. Our results show that both irrational beliefs and thought suppression are related to distress, and that the impact of irrational beliefs on distress is completely mediated by thought suppression. Potential mechanisms and implications are discussed.
Key words: thought suppression, irrational beliefs, distress

Implementing the OurSCHOOL Student Survey at St. Dominic in 2015 allowed former Principal Kevin DeForge and Assistant Principal Joelle Marshall to learn that 32 per cent of students reported feeling medium to high levels of anxiety at school. Knowing it's not just the data that matters, but what you do with it, Kevin and his team sought to understand what was driving this.
Using the insight gained from the OurSCHOOL survey, the St. Dominic staff created a three-pronged approach to reducing anxiety and empowering students.
1. Introducing opportunities for students to embrace experimentation and gain confidence
2. Working closely with students to reduce anxiety levels at school
3. Engaging parents and caregivers and integrating classroom practices into the home


Object.defineProperties (seemingly) requires transactional behaviour
Oliver Hunt oliver at apple.com
Mon Sep 21 18:35:04 PDT 2009
To have a truly correct implementation of Object.defineProperties (as
currently defined) an implementation would in effect have to implement
transaction updates to Objects, as [[DefineOwnProperty]] is
polymorphic and behaviour cannot be guaranteed.
As a simple example (excluding host objects even)
myArray = [1,2,3,4];
Object.defineProperties(myArray, {length: {value:2}, 2:{value:4}})
Even if an implementation were to implement two versions of
[[DefineOwnProperty]] for every object (one that did the logic to
determine whether a given call to [[DefineOwnProperty]] was correct,
one that actually defined it -- and this behaviour should be
specified, currently the definition of defineOwnProperties seems
woefully inadequate), both the assignment to length and the assignment
to property 2 are valid during preflight. Once we call
[[DefineOwnProperty]] with the intention of actually setting the
values we set the length property, subsequently removing the property
2, which in turn means that setting property 2 must fail.
This is nuts -- i am leaning towards the belief that defineProperty,
defineProperties, seal, preventExtensions, et al. should only work
when applied to pure objects, not any host object, nor any of the
special builtins. All other paths seems to lead to absurd and/or
complex and unexpected behaviour.

Powerfully Simple Demand Sensing
Demand Sensing allows you to incorporate detailed short-term demand data into your short-term forecasts to reduce forecast error by up to 50%, increase inventory accuracy by up to 20%, and optimally deploy downstream (e.g., Distribution Center) inventory.
Downstream data, such as customer and channel data, is employed to identify demand trends, provide advanced warning of problems, and remove the latency between plan and what is really happening in the supply chain. The quicker deviations can be identified, the quicker and more intelligently a company can respond.
Demand Sensing imports fresh daily demand data, immediately senses demand signal changes compared to a detailed statistical demand pattern, and evaluates the statistical significance of the change. It analyzes partial period actual demand to perform automatic short-term forecast adjustments using probabilistic pattern recognition and predictive analytics. Pattern recognition automatically detects a pattern in replenishment orders to improve short-term forecast accuracy. Advanced statistical analytics identify and rapidly react to replenishment issues or sudden changes in customer demand.
ToolsGroup's Demand Sensing can analyze the demand signal from:
 - the next downstream step in your demand chain, such as at a Ship-To store or warehouse
 - POS data or EDI transactions, expanding the ability to sense the extended supply chain
 - more advanced sources of unstructured "big data" in Demand Signal Repositories (DSRs), such as macroeconomic trends, social media and customer web behaviour.
Companies can now manage the entire process from demand signal capture, both from structured and unstructured sources, to short-term and long-term forecasting, for increased sales revenue and decreased inventory costs.

Gameshow hosts have so much power over people that contestants are willing to do anything they're told, including torture each other to death, research suggests.
Psychologists from the University of Paris simulated the recording of a new programme in a real TV studio with an audience and a well-known weather girl as the host.
Recruiters found 80 contestants to take part in what they thought was a show called Zone Xtreme. They were introduced to another contestant called 'Jean Paul', played by an actor, who was sent to a separate part of the studio where he could be heard but not seen.
Each of the contestants was told by the host to ask 'Jean Paul' a series of 27 questions and apply what they thought was an electric shock of increasing strength for each wrong answer.
More than eight in ten - 64 contestants - administered the maximum 460 volts, which could cause death, despite hearing 'Jean Paul' cry out, scream and beg to stop the game.
If they wavered, Miss Young intervened with lines such as "Don't let yourself get upset" and "Go on, we are taking all the responsibility for this".
Only 16 of the 80 contestants refused to continue with the programme.
The experiment was broadcast as part of a documentary entitled Game of Death for French network, France 2, in 2010, but the analysis and findings have just been published in the European Review of Applied Psychology.
"It has long been known that television and television hosts had influence on viewers," the researchers said.
"We suspected they could also have prescriptive powers to [influence] people's behaviour, including cruel and immoral behaviours. Until now this had never been shown."
The experiment was a twist on the 1960s research by US academic Stanley Milgram, who examined why ordinary people were prepared to commit horrific atrocities in Nazi Germany.
He found 80 per cent of his subjects inflicted pain on a stranger when ordered to do so by a figure in authority such as a scientist.
The French experiment reveals that this "authority figure" is far broader than previously realised.

Reduced posterior cingulate glutamate measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy in hyperthyroidism.
OBJECTIVES: Patients with hyperthyroidism frequently have neuropsychiatric complaints such as lack of concentration, poor performance in memory, depression, anxiety and mania. These symptoms suggest the dysfunction of brain. However, the underlying process of this dysfunction is not well understood. At the same time, glutamatergic system has been considered important in neuropsychiatric process by recent studies. Thus, this study is to investigate the change of glutamate concentration in patients with hyperthyroidism using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
METHODS: Fifteen untreated patients with hyperthyroidism and fifteen ageand gendermatched controls participated in the study. The region of the posterior cingulate cortex was examined by magnetic resonance spectroscopy with a technique referred as TE-averaged PRESS at 3T field strength. The concentrations of N-Acetylaspartate, creatine, choline and glutamate were assessed using jMRUI v4.0 software.
RESULTS: Hyperthyroid patients, compared with controls, showed a decrease of glutamate concentration (P<0.047) and glutamate/creatine ratios (P<0.009) in the posterior cingulate cortex. The decrease of choline concentration (P<0.004) and choline/creatine ratios (P<0.012) were also discovered. No significant difference was found in the concentrations of N-Acetylaspartate or creatine between patients and controls.
CONCLUSION: Concentration of glutamate decreased in the region of posterior cingulate cortex in patients with hyperthyroidism. This reduction indicated a possible involvement of glutamate in the brain dysfunction in hyperthyroidism....

A connected farm is an architectural design common in the New England Region of the United States, and England and Wales in the United Kingdom. North American connected farms date back to the 17th century, their British counterparts have also existed for several centuries. New England connected farms are characterized by a farm house, kitchen, barn, or other structures connected in a rambling fashion. This style evolved from carrying out farm work while remaining sheltered from winter weather. In the United Kingdom there are four distinct types of connected farmsteads, all dissimilar to the New England style.
New England connected farm
The typical New England connected farm complex consists of the "big house", which acts as the standard family living quarters, connected to the Big House is the "little house", which contains the kitchen area. Next to it is the "back house", which was traditionally a carriage or wagon house. Connected to the back house is a standard livestock barn. This style was banned in many areas due to fire concerns, but the bans were lifted in the 18th century. Originally, all four buildings would have parallel roof lines. In later years (post-1800), when kitchens became more of a room of the house, the Little House became an ell off the Big House.
Connected barns describe the type of barn integrated into other structures on a farm in the New England region of the United States. The New England connected farmstead, as many architectural historians have termed the style, consisted of numerous farm buildings all connected into one continuous structure. Houses, ells, sheds, barns, and other outbuildings all were combined to form one long building. Architectural styles varied, from Greek to Gothic Revival. The connected farmstead is unique in not only its connection of house to barn to shed, and so forth, but also because the architectural style of the home was often used on the other structures, including barns, connected to it.
Noted historian and architect Thomas Hubka commented in his 1984 book, Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn, that:
"those who built connected farms changed their farms by extending the architectural style and order of the house to their barns. This was a truly radical development by New England farmers, and it is this characteristic, more than that of house and barn connection itself, that is one of the unique aspects of New England connected farm architecture."
Wilbur Zelinsky, an American geographer, undertook a survey of existing connected farmsteads in New England in 1958. Through his travels and survey he was able to determine, to some level of accuracy, the distribution of connected barns and farmsteads in New England. Zelinsky found that the connected farm was most frequently found in specific parts of New England. Namely in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, where connected barns frequently occurred almost over the entire states. Indeed, the style still persists in popular American architecture. Connected farms were also frequently observed by Zelinsky in southern Maine, eastern Vermont, and portions of northern Connecticut.
In the United Kingdom
Connected farm buildings are not confined to North America, connected structures have existed in England and Wales for centuries. The architectural historian Ronald Brunskill identified four key types of connected farm structures found in England and Wales. The longhouse is generally two connected buildings which result from the addition of more and more partitions, thus subdividing the structure, or from the outright construction of a new building adjacent to the original. Longhouses usually have cross passages and communication flows freely through the structures. The laithe house confines the family and the farm building under the same roof. However, there are no cross passages and no intercommunication between structures. Typical configurations include farm buildings used for both livestock and grain/hay storage. The bastle house is an arrangement which places the living quarters above the farm building and, usually, the farm animals. This type of connected farm was common as a defensive arrangement; living quarters were located high above for security reasons. In what Brunskill called the "simply connected arrangement" the domestic structure is connected to any type of farm building.

The Rain-shadow Effect
Sheltered by mountains
by Philip Eden
"Rain shadow" is a phrase often used by meteorologists in their day-to-day work, and is occasionally mentioned by television weather forecasters. Some may regard it as a solecism, but it well describes the phenomenon whereby much less rain falls on the lee side of a mountain range compared with the windward side. Last week produced one of the best examples of the rain-shadow effect we have seen in the UK in recent years thanks to a persistent southwesterly airflow.
Things are very different on the leeward side of the mountains. The air-mass has now lost much of its moisture, and as the winds descend the lee slope the air becomes denser again, and therefore warmer. As it warms up its capacity to hold moisture increases again, thus it is no longer saturated. The mechanism which produced the persistent rain on the windward slope is now switched off, the rain stops, and the clouds dissipate.
Last week's rain shadow effect (see plot above) was very prominent in the shelter of the Scottish Highlands. During the week ending 0600 on Saturday (Jan 19) almost 100mm of rain was recorded in the Strath of Orchy in Argyllshire and an estimated 150mm fell in the upper parts of nearby Glen Strae and Glen Kinglass. By contrast no measurable rain at all fell at Kinloss in Morayshire, and only 2mm at Aberdeen. The effect was also well illustrated in northern England where Shap in Cumbria recorded 83mm of rain compared with 4mm at Newcastle, and also in Wales and the Midlands with 96mm at Capel Curig in Snowdonia but only 2mm at several sites in the Midlands.

Nutritionists and epidemiologists have examined the diet of Northern Ireland and SW France against the background of large scientific population comparisons of disease and death in the two areas, especially cardiovascular. Does the protection come from copper in red wine and from beta-carotene in vegetables? Chemistry, physiology, dietary studies and epidemiology are behind this attempt to find a true basis for healthier eating.

The best shape for containing a pressurised gas is a sphere, where by 'best' we mean the shape that uses the smallest amount of material to contain a given mass of gas at given pressure.
The simplest explanation for this is that, since pressure acts equally in all directions, the best container of pressure is a container that looks the same in all directions -- which is a sphere.
We can see this by examining a pressure vessel made of a liquid: the walls of such a pressure vessel will flow to take up the best shape. Pressure vessels made of liquid are known as 'bubbles', and it is well-known that bubbles tend to be spherical.
The bathyscape Trieste, built in Italy in the Fifties, carried its crew in a steel sphere down to a depth of 11 km below the surface of the ocean. This is a good illustration of the suitability of spheres for withstanding pressure.
So why are scuba tanks cylinders rather than spheres? The cylinder is a compromise between the best pressure-containing shape and the need to mount the tank comfortably and conveniently on the diver's back. Similarly, gas cylinders in laboratories are usually cylindrical, since this allows them to be moved and stored conveniently.

text: Permanent magnet (PM) machines are often preferred in recent technology since their efficiency and power/volume ratio are higher than those of conventional wound-rotor type machines. NdFeB magnets, which are predominantly used in the design of PM machines, are very expensive and make the design costly. Alnico magnets have the potential to be used instead, since they are very cheap and their residual fluxes are as high as those of NdFeB magnets. The major problem is that Alnico magnets have very low resistance to magnetic field reversal, which means they are easily demagnetized. This paper focuses on using Alnico magnets in a PM reluctance generator (PMRG) without encountering demagnetization or performance degradation. The converter accompanying the PMRG allows avoidance of the demagnetization of Alnico magnets by making the currents through the windings unidirectional. Thus, Alnico magnets can be directly used instead of NdFeB magnets without making any modifications on the magnet size or location. The converter also provides independent phase current control to suppress mechanical vibrations due to large torque ripples. The analysis results verify that Alnico magnets can be used in the generator design without losing much generator performance. Therefore, the Alnico-magnet-based PMRG is a promising candidate for designing low-cost generators and is also expected to affect the design trends on wind energy conversion systems (WECSs).

Custom queries
Let moor generate Dart from your SQL statements
Although moor includes a fluent api that can be used to model most statements, advanced features like WITH clauses or subqueries aren't supported yet. You can use these features with custom statements. You don't have to miss out on other benefits moor brings, though: Moor helps you parse the result rows and custom queries also support auto-updating streams.
Statements with a generated api
Starting from version 1.5, you can instruct moor to automatically generate a typesafe API for your select, update and delete statements. Of course, you can still write custom sql manually. See the sections below for details.
To use this feature, all you need to is define your queries in your UseMoor annotation:
 tables: [Todos, Categories],
 queries: {
 'SELECT *, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM todos WHERE category = AS "amount" FROM categories c;'
class MyDatabase extends _$MyDatabase {
 // rest of class stays the same
After running the build step again, moor will have written the CategoriesWithCountResult class for you - it will hold the result of your query. Also, the _$MyDatabase class from which you inherit will have the methods categoriesWithCount (which runs the query once) and watchCategoriesWithCount (which returns an auto-updating stream).
Queries can have parameters in them by using the? or :name syntax. When your queries contains parameters, moor will figure out an appropriate type for them and include them in the generated methods. For instance, 'categoryById': 'SELECT * FROM categories WHERE id = :id' will generate the method categoryById(int id).
You can also use UPDATE or DELETE statements here. Of course, this feature is also available for daos, and it perfectly integrates with auto-updating streams by analyzing what tables you're reading from or writing to.
Custom select statements
If you don't want to use the statements with an generated api, you can still send custom queries by calling customSelect for a one-time query or customSelectStream for a query stream that automatically emits a new set of items when the underlying data changes. Using the todo example introduced in the getting started guide, we can write this query which will load the amount of todo entries in each category:
class CategoryWithCount {
 final Category category;
 final int count; // amount of entries in this category
 CategoryWithCount(this.category, this.count);
// then, in the database class:
Stream> categoriesWithCount() {
 // select all categories and load how many associated entries there are for
 // each category
 return customSelect(
 readsFrom: {todos, categories}, // used for the stream: the stream will update when either table changes
 ).watch().map((rows) {
 // we get list of rows here. We just have to turn the raw data from the row into a
 // CategoryWithCount. As we defined the Category table earlier, moor knows how to parse
 // a category. The only thing left to do manually is extracting the amount
 return rows
 .map((row) => CategoryWithCount(Category.fromData(, this), row.readInt('amount')))
For custom selects, you should use the readsFrom parameter to specify from which tables the query is reading. When using a Stream, moor will be able to know after which updates the stream should emit items.
You can also bind SQL variables by using question-mark placeholders and the variables parameter:
Stream amountOfTodosInCategory(int id) {
 return customSelect(
 'SELECT COUNT(*) AS c FROM todos WHERE category =?',
 variables: [Variable.withInt(id)],
 readsFrom: {todos},
 ).map((row) => row.readInt('c')).watch();
Of course, you can also use indexed variables (like?12) - for more information on them, see the sqlite3 documentation.
Custom update statements
For update and delete statements, you can use customUpdate. Just like customSelect, that method also takes a sql statement and optional variables. You can also tell moor which tables will be affected by your query using the optional updates parameter. That will help with other select streams, which will then update automatically.


Limitations and Known Issues within MariaDB MaxScale
Limitations and Known Issues within MariaDB MaxScale
This document lists known issues and limitations in MariaDB MaxScale and its plugins. Since limitations are related to specific plugins, this document is divided into several sections.
Configuration limitations
In versions 2.1.2 and earlier, the configuration files are limited to 1024 characters per line. This limitation was increased to 16384 characters in MaxScale 2.1.3. MaxScale 2.3.0 increased this limit to _PHONE_ characters.
In versions 2.2.12 and earlier, the section names in the configuration files were limited to 49 characters. This limitation was increased to 1023 characters in MaxScale 2.2.13.
Multiple MaxScales on same server
Starting with MaxScale 2.4.0, on systems with Linux kernels 3.9 or newer due to the addition of SO_REUSEPORT support, it is possible for multiple MaxScale instances to listen on the same network port if the directories used by both instances are completely separate and there are no conflicts which can cause unexpected splitting of connections. This will only happen if users explicitly tell MaxScale to ignore the default directories and will not happen in normal use.
Security limitiations
MariaDB 10.2
The parser of MaxScale correctly parses WITH statements, but fails to collect columns, functions and tables used in the SELECT defining the WITH clause.
Consequently, the database firewall will not block WITH statements where the SELECT of the WITH clause refers to forbidden columns.
Query Classification
Follow the MXS-1350 Jira issue to track the progress on this limitation.
XA transactions are not detected as transactions by MaxScale. This means that all XA commands will be treated as unknown commands and will be treated as operations that potentially modify the database (in the case of readwritesplit, the statements are routed to the master).
MaxScale will not track the XA transaction state which means that any SELECT queries done inside an XA transaction can be routed to servers that are not part of the XA transaction.
This limitation can be avoided on the client side by disabling autocommit before any XA transactions are done. The following example shows how a simple XA transaction is done via MaxScale by disabling autocommit for the duration of the XA transaction.
SET autocommit=0;
SET autocommit=1;
Prepared Statements
For its proper functioning, MaxScale needs in general to be aware of the transaction state and autocommit mode. In order to be that, MaxScale parses statements going through it.
However, if a transaction is commited or rolled back, or the autocommit mode is changed using a prepared statement, MaxScale will miss that and its internal state will be incorrect, until the transaction state or autocommit mode is changed using an explicit statement.
For instance, after the following sequence of commands, MaxScale will still think autocommit is on:
set autocommit=1
PREPARE hide_autocommit FROM "set autocommit=0"
EXECUTE hide_autocommit
To ensure that MaxScale functions properly, do not commit or rollback a transaction or change the autocommit mode using a prepared statement.
Protocol limitations
Limitations with MySQL/MariaDB Protocol support (MariaDBClient)
 - Compression is not included in the server handshake.
 - MariaDB MaxScale does not support KILL QUERY ID type statements. If a query by a query ID is to be killed, it needs to be done directly on the backend databases.
 - The KILL commands are executed asynchronously and the results are ignored. Due to this, they will always appear to succeed even if the user is lacking the permissions.
Authenticator limitations
Limitations in the GSSAPI authenticator
Currently, MariaDB MaxScale only supports GSSAPI authentication when the backend connections use GSSAPI authentication. Client side GSSAPI authentication with a different backend authentication module is not supported.
Limitations in the MySQL authenticator (MySQLAuth)
 - MySQL old style passwords are not supported. MySQL versions 4.1 and newer use a new authentication protocol which does not support pre-4.1 style passwords.
 - When users have different passwords based on the host from which they connect MariaDB MaxScale is unable to determine which password it should use to connect to the backend database. This results in failed connections and unusable usernames in MariaDB MaxScale.
 - Only a subset of netmasks are supported for the Host-column in the mysql.user-table (and related tables). Specifically, if the Host is of the form base_ip/netmask, then the netmask must only contain the numbers 0 or 255. For example, a netmask of is fine while is not.
Filter limitations
Database Firewall limitations (dbfwfilter)
The Database Firewall filter does not support multi-statements. Using them will result in an error being sent to the client.
Tee filter limitations (tee)
The Tee filter does not support binary protocol prepared statements. The execution of a prepared statements through a service that uses the tee filter is not guaranteed to succeed on the service where the filter branches to as it does on the original service.
This possibility exists due to the fact that the binary protocol prepared statements are identified by a server-generated ID. The ID sent to the client from the main service is not guaranteed to be the same that is sent by the branch service.
Monitor limitations
A server can only be monitored by one monitor. Two or more monitors monitoring the same server is considered an error.
Limitations with Galera Cluster Monitoring (galeramon)
The default master selection is based only on MIN(wsrep_local_index). This can be influenced with the server priority mechanic described in the Galera Monitor manual.
Router limitations
Refer to individual router documentation for a list of their limitations.

5.4.8 Rotating objects
Both layout objects and elements of markup text can be rotated by any angle about any point, but the method of doing so differs.
Rotating layout objects
All layout objects which support the grob-interface can be rotated by setting their rotation property. This takes a list of three items: the angle of rotation counter-clockwise, and the x and y coordinates of the point relative to the object's reference point about which the rotation is to be performed. The angle of rotation is specified in degrees and the coordinates in staff-spaces.
The angle of rotation and the coordinates of the rotation point must be determined by trial and error.
There are only a few situations where the rotation of layout objects is useful; the following example shows one situation where they may be:
g4\< e' d' f\!
\override Hairpin.rotation = #'(20 -1 0)
g,,4\< e' d' f\!
[image of music]
Rotating markup
All markup text can be rotated to lie at any angle by prefixing it with the \rotate command. The command takes two arguments: the angle of rotation in degrees counter-clockwise and the text to be rotated. The extents of the text are not rotated: they take their values from the extremes of the x and y coordinates of the rotated text. In the following example the outside-staff-priority property for text is set to _TAG_ to disable the automatic collision avoidance, which would push some of the text too high.
\override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f
g4^\markup { \rotate #30 "a G" }
b^\markup { \rotate #30 "a B" }
des^\markup { \rotate #30 "a D-Flat" }
fis^\markup { \rotate #30 "an F-Sharp" }

The Banana aroma is a scent that everyone knows well, but that few are able to identify in a blind smell test. If this aroma is weak, and it is part of a complex aromatic bouquet, it is more difficult to identify, but it gives a pleasant and important aromatic personality to the product being tasted.
In Beer, banana is a scent that is associated with the high fermentation process. It is a positive attribute in certain styles of beer (for example Weiss beer), but can also be considered a defect due to poor control methods in the fermentation process of other beer styles.
In Chocolate, it is one of the most typical fruit aromas found in cocoa beans. It is usually a more green scentthat of the unripe banana. It is frequently present in Nacional cocoa from Ecuador and Trinitario cocoa from Venezuela.
In Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the banana aroma is typical of many high-quality oils made from ripe olives. For example, it is often very evident in the Arbosana cultivar.

Alan Alda's science contest asks: What is color?
| Zoom
MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - Alan Alda, the actor-turned-part-time professor, has a new question for scientists to consider: How do you explain color to an 11-year-old?
The television and film star best known for his role in the 1970s sitcom "MASH" is posing the question as part of the third annual "Flame Challenge." Alda helped organize the international contest as part of his work at the Stony Brook University Center for Communicating Science.
The university on eastern Long Island named the center in Alda's honor earlier this year; its goal is to get scientists in various disciplines to explain complex concepts in the simplest of ways.
This year's question was selected by Alda after receiving about 800 suggested questions from children. He explained that many questions focused on issues about light and color, including the childhood classic: "Why is the sky blue?"
"I'm in awe of the scientists who can bring clarity to these questions and I'm in awe of the kids who keep the scientists on their toes," Alda said.
Alda, a New York native who has had a lifelong interest in science, started the contest in 2011 by asking scientists: What is a flame? He followed that up last year with: What is time?
Now comes color.
"We want scientists to think about how they can answer the question from their own field _ from biology to physics to anthropology or psychology," said Elizabeth Bass, director of the Alda Center. Bass said the answer can be explained from a variety of scientific perspectives, including physics, chemistry or psychology.
Scientists have a March 1 deadline to submit their responses, which will then be judged by 11-year-olds logging onto the Flame Challenge website. Last year, 20,000 students around the world served as judges.
Two winners _ one a written entry and the second for a video or graphic entry _ will receive a free trip to New York City, where they will meet Alda and be honored at the World Science Festival.

These two words are often confused. Rein is related to horses. Reign is related to kings and queens.
So where does the confusion lie?
In a phrase like reining in – he reined in his activities because he was exhausted – reining in refers to holding the horse back, restricting its movement.
In a phrase like free rein – he was given free rein to organise the office as he wished – free rein refers to slackening off the horse's rein so that it can move more freely.
But confusion can arise when you consider that being given free reign could also refer to being free as the ruler to do what you want.
So consider whether you are talking about rein as in a horse-related metaphor or as in a king-related metaphor. There are places where either would be suitable, but there are definitely places when only the horse one makes sense!

This interesting and popular surname is of medieval English origin. It is a patronymic form of the given name "Nik(ke)", a short form of Nicholas, itself a derivation of the Greek "Nikolaos". This is a compound of the consisting of the elements "nike", meaning 'victory', plus 'laos' - the people. As 'The Victory People' it is not surprising that the name was popular, as this is how the Ancient Greeks saw themselves. The name is found in pre-Conquest England, one 'Nicolaus' being recorded in the 1086 a.d. Domesday Book as holding land before 1066. The surname is first recorded in the early 14th Century (see below) and is also found as Nickson and Nixson, whilst John Nickeson is listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Warwickshire (1332). The surname is widespread on both sides of the Scottish Border, with William Nycson occupying lands in the district of Ermyldoune, in Liddesdale, Scotland, in 1376. William Nykson was one of the "borowis" for the earl of Douglas's 'bounds of the West March' in 1398. Today, the surname is also numerous in Ulster, since it was established in counties Antrim and Fermanagh at the time of the Plantation of Ulster (1609). One of the earliest settlers in the New World was one Mary Nixon, who is recorded as holding five acres of land in the parish of Christ Church, in the Barbados, in 1678. A Coat of Arms granted to the family is gold, on a red chevron between three red leopards' faces, three suns in splendour proper. The Crest is that of a leopard rampant guardant proper. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robert Nikkesune, which was dated 1309, in the "Records of the Borough of Nottingham", during the reign of King Edward 11, known as "Edward of Caernafon", 1307 - 1327. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Here's an easy way to weld all the letters of a word together in the Design Studio:
1) With the DS open and your cursor set on the mat where you want it, type the first word (all the letters) with no spaces between them. Then, in the kern box, type "-0.25" (without the quotes) and hit the apply button. This will overlap the letters. If they overlap too much, experiment to see what overlap you like by changing the kern number.
2) Then, highlight each letter and click weld.
Here's a tip: To highlight a letter or object in DS, click on a line segment of the letter or object. This will bring up the bounding box (the one with arrows). I spent many frustrated hours trying to get the letters to highlight.
Also, another tip: If you can't get the cursor to move on the mat, adjust your double click speed. It doesn't seem to handle super fast double clicking well. Slow it up a little bit and see if that helps.
One more thing, the DS program only allows ONE computer to cut your creations. So, if you have DS, you can load it on multiple computers, in order to create things, BUT you may only cut with one of them. I assume it is the FIRST one you load DS onto. I am really cranky about this because a day after I loaded DS onto my Windows laptop, it decided it wouldn't take a charge from the power cord anymore. Arrrgghh!

Hold up, buddy.
Johnson Hall was built in 1763 by the servants of William Johnson who at the time was the largest slaveholder in the north. It was made with a sawmill and a grist mill and had several tenant farmers working in the area.
It was made to look like it was made of stone but actually it was just painted to give that illusion; however houses on the other side were made of stone. It was believed that William Johnson was paranoid, since around this time was the end of the French and Indian War, so it was assumed it was his way of defending himself from an attack. The specific reason was unknown.

How Does a Dry-Aging Cabinet Work?
The most important thing about meat-aging is creating the perfect climate for the steak to age properly. In the wrong environment with fluctuating temperatures or humidity levels, any meat can go bad. When the steak is in a controlled environment for the right period of time, it creates a rich, flavorful piece of meat that your customers will enjoy. A dry-aging cabinet allows you to do just that, controlling both temperature, humidity, and ventilation levels in order to properly manage the beef.
What Makes a Good Dry-Aging Cabinet?
A good dry-aging cabinet will have a great ventilation system with advanced temperature control that keeps the meat from spoiling, aging it to perfection. When looking for a dry-aging cabinet, those systems should create a cold and humid climate to ensure optimal drying and ripening process.
As one of the most temperature-sensitive foods, it's important to have your steak properly stored and controlled from the moment you receive it. In order for the steak to dry-age correctly to achieve flavorful profiles, it needs to live in a climate between 34.7 degrees to 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit. With such a tight temperature window, a dry-aging cabinet will need all the right technology to maintain these levels.
Oxygen is also important to the dry-aging process. The oxygen ventilation allows the signature dry-age crusting to form. Bad germs can form in "standing" air, so having good ventilation is crucial to keeping a constant flow of fresh and clean.
How to Find a Premium Dry-Aging Cabinet
Having a great dry-aging cabinet is important to properly aging your steak so you can offer your customers premium, dry-aged beef. At The Aging Room, our dry-aging chamber combines traditional aging processes with modern technologies. Precise climate control equipment combined with a Himalayan salt wall creates an aging-friendly, natural microclimate to dry-age steaks.
With a premium dry ager like The Aging Room Chamber, you get more benefits on top of the perfect system to manage temperature and climate:
 1. The volume of the interior of the chamber is designed to maximize the effectiveness of the aging process.
 2. All systems of the chamber create and circulate a salty cold and humid microclimate to ensure an optimal drying and ripening process.
 3. The lighting in the chamber, including the lighting behind the salt, is calibrated to create an enticing visual experience for the customer.
 4. All steel fittings and insulation inside the chamber have been tested to withstand the high humidity and salt environment.
 5. We provide a high-quality wooden butcher block so your meat specialist can cut the steaks inside the chamber.

A Datomic entity provides a lazy, associative view of all the information that can be reached from a Datomic entity id.
The Entity interface provides associative access to
 - all the attribute/value pairs associated with an entity id E
 - all other entities reachable as values V from E
 - all other entities that can reach E through their values V
Nagivation to other entities is recursive, so with thoroughly connected data such a social network graph it may be possible to navigate an entire dataset starting with a single entity.
The Entity interface is completely generic, and can navigate any and all Datomic data.
The examples below refer to the following example datoms concerning entity 42, a.k.a. Jane Doe.
The Database.entity method will return an Entity, given an entity id or lookup ref:
jane = db.entity(42)
Given an entity, you can then navigate to any of that entity's attributes:
// returns "Jane"
firstName = jane.get(":person/firstName")
The special attribute :db/id provides access to the entity's own id:
// returns 42
id = jane.get(":db/id")
If an attribute points to another entity through a cardinality-one attribute, get will return another Entity instance:
address = jane.get(":person/address")
If an attributes points to another entity through a cardinality-many attribute, get will return a Set of entity instances. The following example returns all the entities that Jane likes:
// empty, given the example data
peopleJaneLikes = jane.get(":person/likes")
If you precede an attribute's local name with an underscore (_), get will navigate backwards, returning the Set of entities that point to the current entity. The following example returns all the entities who like Jane:
// returns set containing John
peopleWhoLikeJane = jane.get(":person/_likes")
Entities do not "exist" in any particular place; they are merely an associative view of all the datoms about some E at a point in time. If there are no facts currently available about an entity, Database.entity will return an empty entity, having only a :db/id.
Laziness and Caching
Entity attributes are accessed lazily as you request them. Once you access a particular attribute, the attribute will be cached for the lifetime of that entity instance.
The Entity.keySet method will return the keys available for an entity, without caching their values.
The Entity.touch method is a convenience that will access and cache all the attributes of an entity. In addition, touch will also access and cache the attributes of any other entities reachable through an attribute whose schema definition includes :isComponent true.
As an example, consider a database of orders, line items, and products. A line item is a component of an order. A product is related to an order, but is not a component of the order. In such a database, touching an order will access the order's attributes, and recursively access all the order's line items. Touching an order will not access the line items' products.
The touch method is a convenience, suitable for interactive exploration, or for when you know that you will need all of an entity's information. When this is not the case, it can be more efficient to be explicit, and ask for precisely what you need.
Note that none of the entity APIs mandate any communication with a server. Entities are lazy values, backed by a lazy database value in an application process. In particular, entities are not subject to the N+1 select problem, which is an artifact of client/server query architectures.
Entities and Time
Entities know the point in time on which they are based. Given an entity, you can access the database on which the entity is based
db = entity.db()
From the database you can then find the database's basisT, the transactions that contributed to the entity, etc.
Entities represent only a point in time, not the database across time. Notice that the "across time" aspect of the database vanishes when making entities.
The point-in-time nature of entities means that entities can be derived from any point-in-time view of a database, i.e. the return values of Connection.db, Database.asOf, Database.since, and Database.with.
Entities cannot be derived from with any time-spanning view of a database, i.e. the return value of Database.history.
Usage Considerations
Entities are always consistent.
Entities are lazy, immutable values. They are thread safe and do not require coordination with any other concurrent uses of the same information.
Entities are based on a point in time of the database. Navigation from an entity will always and only reach other entities with that same time basis, allowing extended calculations to be performed without coordination.
Entities are not a mapping layer between databases and application code. Entities are a direct, mechanical translation from database information to associative application access.
Entities are not suitable for existence tests, which should typically be performed via lookup of a unique identity.

Keys are unique identifiers that you provide as a parameter when you perform any operation on data. The following applies to keys:
Keys are strings, typically enclosed by quotes for any given SDK.
No spaces are allowed in a key.
Separators and identifiers are allowed, such as underscore: 'person_93847'.
A key must be unique within a bucket; if you attempt to
store the same key in a bucket, it will either overwrite the
value or return an error in the case of
Maximum key size is 250 bytes. Couchbase Server stores all keys in RAM and does not remove these keys to free up space in RAM. Take this into consideration when you select keys and key length for your application.
This last point about key size is important if you consider the size of keys stored for tens or hundreds of millions of records. One hundred million keys which are 70 Bytes each plus meta data at 150 Bytes each will require about 45 GB of RAM for document meta data.


The UMAP Credit Transfer Scheme (UCTS) was developed to simplify the process of transferring credits earned in overseas exchange programs to the students' home universities.
UCTS uses the 60 credit point scale originally developed for the European Credit Transfer Scheme (ECTS). These points can be applied to both trimester-based and semester-based academic years.
The UCTS credit point scale facilitates the conversion of credits between different grading systems. It is not intended to supplant the existing credit point scales (or other measures of student workload) used by the host and home universities, nor is it meant to replace universities' regulations and autonomy in terms of assessing students' learning outcomes.

The SPCK52X series uses capacitive technology to detect finger touch. Once the device is powered up, it calibrates to the environment in which it's located. This guide is intended for you to get the best performance from your system,
- Allow 1 minute for calibration after initial power up on SPCK52x unit.
Recommendations on how to best use the SPCK2x keypads
- To achieve the correct response from each button, we recommend when entering a code, only press one button per second.
- In between each press remove your finger at least 10 mm from the surface of the keypad before pressing the next button.
Other recommendations are to make sure that the surface of the keypad is kept clear of dust or grease.
Use a cloth and hot water only to remove any dirt. Do not use chemical cleaners or detergents.
- holding the whole hand over the buttons for a period on time
- holding a finger on one button for a prolonged period of time.
- hover a finger over a single button from a period of time, even 2 to 3 mm away from the button
- rapidly press the button, for example, press their 4,5,6,7,8-digit code in the space of < one second.
- Repeatedly keep pressing the same button fast.
- sliding your finger across the surface or 2 to 3 mm above the surface of the keypad to reach the next button.
All of these cases can cause a button or buttons not to react correctly by triggering the keypad to recalibrate the sensitivity of a button or buttons.
The unit by recalibration, now believes that holding a hand across the buttons is the normal or standby state and therefore they will not react to touch.
For the keypad to function correctly again, recalibration is required.
This is achieved by removing your hand away from the surface of the keypad (20mm min) for a minimum time of 10 seconds. Recommendation time 30 seconds.

Inheritance diagram for IPython.history:
History related magics and functionality
Alternate name for %history.
Print input history (_i variables), with most recent last.
%history -> print at most 40 inputs (some may be multi-line)%history n -> print at most n inputs%history n1 n2 -> print inputs between n1 and n2 (n2 not included)
Each input's number is shown, and is accessible as the automatically generated variable _i. Multi-line statements are printed starting at a new line for easy copy/paste.
-n: do NOT print line numbers. This is useful if you want to get a printout of many lines which can be directly pasted into a text editor.
This feature is only available if numbered prompts are in use.
-t: (default) print the 'translated' history, as IPython understands it. IPython filters your input and converts it all into valid Python source before executing it (things like magics or aliases are turned into function calls, for example). With this option, you'll see the native history instead of the user-entered version: '%cd /' will be seen as '_ip.magic("%cd /")' instead of '%cd /'.
-r: print the 'raw' history, i.e. the actual commands you typed.
-g: treat the arg as a pattern to grep for in (full) history. This includes the "shadow history" (almost all commands ever written). Use '%hist -g' to show full shadow history (may be very long). In shadow history, every index nuwber starts with 0.
- -f FILENAME: instead of printing the output to the screen, redirect it to
- the given file. The file is always overwritten, though IPython asks for confirmation first if it already exists.
Repeat a command, or get command to input line for editing
Place a string version of last computation result (stored in the special '_' variable) to the next input prompt. Allows you to create elaborate command lines without using copy-paste:
$ l = ["hei", "vaan"] $ "".join(l) ==> heivaan $ %rep $ heivaan_ <== cursor blinking
Place history line 45 to next input prompt. Use %hist to find out the number.
%rep 1-4 6-7 3
Repeat the specified lines immediately. Input slice syntax is the same as in %macro and %save.
Place the most recent line that has the substring "foo" to next input. (e.g. 'svn ci -m foobar').

Teledentistry and its use in dental education.
Teledentistry is a relatively new field that combines telecommunication technology and dental care. Most dentists and dental educators are unaware that teledentistry can be used not only for increased access to dental care, but also for advanced dental education. TYPE OF STUDIES REVIEWED: The authors describe teledentistry as it is applied worldwide, as well as its uses in education. Teledentistry in education can be divided into two main categories: self-instruction and interactive videoconferencing. Both of these methods have been used in several studies and countries.

Cancels wakeup requests for a specified process, including wakeup
requests scheduled with either the RUN command or the $SCHDWK system
Requires one of the following:
- Ownership of the process
- GROUP privilege to cancel scheduled wakeup requests for
processes in the same group but not owned by you
- WORLD privilege to cancel scheduled wakeup requests for any
process in the system
The name of the node on which the specified process is running.
You cannot specify a node name on a different OpenVMS Cluster system
from the current process.
The name of the process for which wakeup requests are to be canceled.
The process name can have up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
The specified process must be in the same group as the current process.
The CANCEL command cancels scheduled wakeup requests for the specified
The CANCEL command does not delete the specified process. If the
process is executing an image when the CANCEL command is issued for it,
the process hibernates instead of exiting after the image completes
To delete a hibernating process for which wakeup requests have been
canceled, use the STOP command. You can determine whether a subprocess
has been deleted by entering the SHOW PROCESS command with the
A local process name can look like a remote process name. Therefore, if
you specify ATHENS::SMITH, the system checks for a process named
ATHENS::SMITH on the local node before checking node ATHENS for a
process named SMITH.
You also can use the /IDENTIFICATION=pid qualifier to specify a process
name. If you use the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier and the
process-name parameter together, the qualifier overrides the
parameter. If you do not specify either the process-name
parameter or the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier, the CANCEL command cancels
scheduled wakeup requests for the current (that is, the issuing)
Identifies the process by its process identification (PID). You can
omit leading zeros when you specify the PID.
The CANCEL command in this example cancels a wakeup request for a
process named CALENDAR (which continues to hibernate until it is
deleted with the STOP command).
$ RUN/SCHEDULE=14:00 STATUS
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 0013012A
The RUN command in this example creates a process to execute the image
STATUS. The process hibernates and is scheduled to be awakened at
14:00. Before the process is awakened, the CANCEL command cancels the
$ RUN/PROCESS_NAME=LIBRA/INTERVAL=1:00 LIBRA
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 00130027
$ CANCEL LIBRA
$ STOP LIBRA
The RUN command in this example creates a subprocess named LIBRA to
execute the image LIBRA.EXE at hourly intervals.
Subsequently, the CANCEL command cancels the wakeup request. The
process continues to exist, but in a state of hibernation, until the
STOP command deletes it.

Super Speed: Flash's most iconic power is his incredible speed, hence his name. He is the fastest man in the world proven by his able to run near the speed of light. With his speed he is granted the ability to run on water and create whirlwinds by running in a circle. He also has the ability to react at incredible speeds as if he can see incoming attacks in slow motion and quickly react to them.
Super Vibration: Flash's speed is caused by the ability to vibrate vigourously in order to gain speed. Flash has tuned this ability to the point where he can vibrate his molecules in order to phase through solid objects. This also allows him to move other parts of his body at extreme speeds and can cause him to talk etremely fast or punch at extreme speeds.

With a LEFT OUTER JOIN construction, the query compares each row of entity A with each row of entity B to find all pairs of rows which have an association and thus satisfy the join-predicate. When the association exists and the join-predicate is satisfied, column values for each matched pair of rows of A and B are combined into a result row. However, in contrast to the INNER JOIN construction, the query will also return rows of entity A which do not match entity B. When columns of entity B are specified, these columns contain a null value for these rows.
The syntax is as following:
LEFT [ OUTER ] JOIN entity_path [ ON ]
entity_path Specifies the entity to join and the path from an earlier defined entity in the FROM clause to this entity. The path _URL_.Customer_Address/Crm.Address defines a path from the earlier defined entity Crm.Customer to the new entity Crm.Address.
Constrains the specified entity in the JOIN component of the FROM clause. The constraint syntax is similar as those of the WHERE clause. Only the entities and from-aliases from the current JOIN element and each previous one can be used in the constraint.
