How Many Moves Do Chess Players Think Ahead?
Most people know that chess depends upon players being able to think ahead and predict their opponent's moves to win, but how many moves can chess players actually think ahead? As with any sport, chess players of greater skill have been shown to possess the ability to think many moves ahead, sometimes up to a dozen or more. However, in most cases, even chess grandmasters tend to think ahead in smaller intervals to keep the game from getting too complex. Here, we will look at how many moves the average chess player thinks ahead and how higher-ranking players think.
How Many Moves Do Average Chess Players Think Ahead?
The standard for what makes a novice chess player is usually determined by the Elo Rating System. This numerical scale ranks chess players based on skill, running from 1000 for beginners to over 2500 for grandmasters. A novice chess player usually falls within the five lower classes of the Elo System, Classes A to E, which starts with Class E (_PHONE_) at the low end and ends with Class A (_PHONE_) at the high end.
Novice to average chess players are often known for their ability to see anywhere from one to three moves ahead in a chess game. True beginners at the game often do not yet have the skills to see ahead at all, but once players begin to pick up skills like understanding the structure of the board, the movements of the pieces, and how to perform captures, they will begin to see how their opponent strategizes, and begin to predict moves and develop plans.
Most average chess players retain the ability to see one to three moves ahead in a game, even if they have played chess for many years. This is mostly because thinking ahead requires a lot of meticulous skill. Many average chess players, including most normal people, do not have the unique vision of the few natural chess masters in the world.
How Many Moves Do Master Chess Players Think Ahead?
In contrast to average chess players, master chess players, such as Candidate Masters, International Masters, and Grandmasters, can see many moves ahead in chess. Some grandmasters are reputed to be able to see anywhere from 15 to 20 moves ahead in a given game. Some chess legends suggest that grandmasters can see even further ahead, sometimes 25 to 30 moves, but this is often considered a myth, and even though many grandmasters can see more than a dozen moves ahead, most do not choose to do so very often.
The most common method of seeing ahead for grandmasters and other skilled chess players is to analyze various potential strategies an opponent may employ. Rather than looking at one strategy and following it for 15 or more moves, most grandmasters will think deeply about three or four potential plans an opponent may try to enact, predicting the next few moves for each strategy. The master will then predict which of those strategies their opponent is most likely to choose and make their move based on countering that strategy. In general, this is a more effective means of winning because it does not merely focus on one potential outcome but on many.
How Do You Learn to Think Ahead in Chess?
When looking at a chessboard or when seeing two skilled chess players face off against each other, many average players may feel discouraged, thinking that they could not possibly learn how to think ahead like a chess master. While it is very difficult to cultivate this skill, it is certainly not impossible. Learning how to think ahead in chess rests upon understanding how thinking ahead actually works, and then practicing it extensively.
In basic terms, thinking ahead in chess simply involves a player looking at the entirety of the chessboard, visualizing themselves making a certain move, and then calculating how their opponent would best respond to it. The key aspect of thinking ahead in chess is being aware of where all of your opponent's pieces are and knowing how they can move. For instance, one might see on a chessboard that an opponent's knight is available for capture by their queen, but then also notice that the opponent's queen is in a position to attack the square where the knight currently is. In such a case, the player would be thinking ahead by not capturing the opponent's knight, as they know that this will cause them to put their queen, a much more valuable piece, in danger.
There are many good ways to begin practicing thinking ahead in chess. One such method is correspondence chess, where two players engage in a match by mail, sending their moves back and forth to each other, which gives each player a lot of time to think and strategize. Another method is to memorize the squares on the board with memorization exercises, which will help aid in visualization. A final method is to take online or in-person chess lessons, practice chess puzzles on the Internet, and simply play as many games of chess as possible.
Looking ahead for possible moves is one of the fundamental aspects of a game of chess. Players who can master this ability and improve it to the point of seeing many moves ahead can often see great improvements in their quality of play, and the fostering of these mental skills is also beneficial to one's mental strength in other areas of life.

In Italian, "fa presto" literally means "make quickly." It became a painting term when the father of Luca Giordano (_PHONE_) urged his son to speed up his studies.
The term became a nickname for Giordano, and more broadly, a byword among baroque painters like Tintoretto (self portrait, below) who were seeking a more spontaneous handling.
In a fa presto technique, the composition is established quickly over an earth-toned ground with no preliminary drawing. The paint is laid on thinly in the darker areas and broadly and generously in the lights.

Ever wanted to change the resolution of a virtual machine (in VirtualBox) and couldn't find the resolution you want in the settings? You can easily do this using VBoxManager, a command line tool that lets you control various aspects of your virtual machines.
There's one thing you need to know before trying this: you need to install the VirtualBox Guest additions before trying to set a high resolution or else it won't work.
To change the resolution of any running virtual machine, look for its name in VirtualBox Manager VM list and run the following command:
VBoxManage controlvm "MACHINE NAME" setvideomodehint WIDTH HEIGHT BPP
Replacing "MACHINE NAME", WIDTH, HEIGHT and BPP (bits per pixel - 24 or 32) with your values.
In my example, the machine name is "10.10":
So the command to change the resolution to 1280x800 would be:
VBoxManage controlvm "10.10" setvideomodehint 1280 800 32

The aim of this study was to determine the evacuation of sand from the equine intestine after a double treatment with psyllium and mineral oil or mineral oil only. A crossover study was conducted. Twelve healthy horses were fed 1 kg sand once a day for 5 days. Subsequently, these horses were divided into two groups: A and B. From day 6-10, both groups were treated with 2 l of mineral oil once a day and group B received an additional 0.5 kg of psyllium twice a day. The trial was repeated after 2 weeks with treatment crossover of groups A and B. The horses were housed sand free and 1.8 kg hay/100 kg body weight was offered to meet the maintenance energy requirement. Prior to the sand administration, faeces were collected from each horse for 3 days and the crude ash was determined to establish a baseline output of ash. There was no difference between the baseline crude ash output of the first and second treatment. From day 6-10, faeces were collected daily and the fresh weight and the dry matter and the crude ash contents were determined. For administration, sand or psyllium was mixed with 1 l of Irish mash (concentrate mixed with water), respectively, and mineral oil was administered via a nasogastric tube. All horses showed higher crude ash excretion when treated with psyllium and mineral oil compared with the mineral oil administration only. On the second, third and fourth day of the treatment, the difference was significant. Faeces crude ash weight corrected for baseline crude ash output while treated with psyllium plus oil and oil solely, reached a mean of 51.0 (SD 20.5) and 26.1 (SD 17.7) % of the administered sand mass, respectively. The results of this trial show that the ash output differed highly between the horses. Nevertheless, all horses showed a higher total ash output within the 5 days treatment period when the psyllium semen and mineral oil were used for the treatment than when treated with mineral oil solely.

Simple Variable Declarations
Simple Variable Declarations
The declaration of a simple variable, the simplest form of a direct declarator, specifies the variable's name and type. It also specifies the variable's storage class and data type.
Storage classes or types (or both) are required on variable declarations. Untyped variables (such as var;) generate warnings.
declarator :
pointer opt direct-declarator
direct-declarator :
identifier :
identifier nondigit
identifier digit
For arithmetic, structure, union, enumerations, and void types, and for types represented by typedef names, simple declarators can be used in a declaration since the type specifier supplies all the typing information. Pointer, array, and function types require more complicated declarators.
You can use a list of identifiers separated by commas (,) to specify several variables in the same declaration. All variables defined in the declaration have the same base type. For example:
int x, y; /* Declares two simple variables of type int */
int const z = 1; /* Declares a constant value of type int */
The variables x and y can hold any value in the set defined by the int type for a particular implementation. The simple object z is initialized to the value 1 and is not modifiable.
If the declaration of z was for an uninitialized static variable or was at file scope, it would receive an initial value of 0, and that value would be unmodifiable.
unsigned long reply, flag; /* Declares two variables
 named reply and flag */
In this example, both the variables, reply and flag, have unsigned long type and hold unsigned integral values.

Antennas sticking out of an aircraft obviously increase profile drag, but the folks who design antennas have done a lot to improve aerodynamics: High performance aircraft can have antennas mounted inside of fiberglass components like wingtips, and flush-mounte antennas are available for transponders and DME equipment.
For slower light GA aircraft more aerodynamic antennas are also available (e.g. blade-style transponder antennas are available which produce about 80% less drag than older spike-and-ball style antennas), measured at 250 MPH.
Since the average light GA aircraft has a VNE below 250 MPH and isn't generally covered in antennas, how significant is the antenna drag on a typical light GA airframe? For example, would stripping the ~6 pounds of antenna drag from your average Cessna make an appreciable difference in airspeed?
 - $\begingroup$ if you know you have 6 pounds of antenna drag and you know the pounds of thrust of the engine then you can get a rough estimate of how much faster you go faster $\endgroup$ – ratchet freak Feb 7 '14 at 8:49
From an aerospace engineering perspective:
The drag coefficient ($C_D$) of a round antenna is can be estimated by around $.5$ depending on shape, while for an streamlined shape it's around $0.045$.
Drag is defined as:
Thus, say you have a 0.01 m wide antenna 0.25 m long, for an aircraft moving at 50 m/s. At sea level conditions, air density $\rho=1.225 \mathrm {kg/m^3}$. Say that $C_D=0.5$. If my calculations add up, it's around $1.9 \mathrm{N}$.
Say you have the same antenna, for the same aircraft aircraft moving at 50 m/s. Air density is $1.225 \mathrm{kg/m^3}$, but this time the antenna is streamlined with $C_D=0.04$. This results in a force of only $0.15 \mathrm {N}$.
(Updates: Originally the formula included $\frac12$ twice which was wrong, and that the force was given in kg, rather than newtons; my apologies.)

 $\begingroup$ You can do a lot to improve readability of formulae using , ρ etc. I took the liberty of adding those. $\endgroup$ – Marcks Thomas Feb 7 '14 at 12:26

 $\begingroup$ I also took the liberty of omitting "/2" from the drag formula, as it was incorrect, but the factor appears to have been edited back in. $\endgroup$ – Marcks Thomas Feb 7 '14 at 13:09

 $\begingroup$ Manfred, what's happening in Delft? Why don't you just use Newtons as a result from your calculations. Now it is confusing because your units don't match up. To express force as mass isn't the way to do AE :-). Also thrust is not defined a power available * velocity. Delivered power is defined as thrust * velocity (TAS). Thus thrust = delivered power / velocity. Note that the rated available power from your engine is more than the delivered power because you loose some in transmission and propeller efficiency. $\endgroup$ – DeltaLima Feb 7 '14 at 18:09
Given how abysmal your average GA plane is in the aerodynamics department, the amount of drag added by antennas is almost nothing.
I have some numbers for a Cherokee 160 from an aircraft performance class -although I make no claims that they're 100% accurateand I'm seeing between 250-360 lbs of drag during level flight depending on the airspeed. Add your 6lbs of antenna drag onto that, and in order to maintain the same airspeed you need at maximum (a density altitude of 10,000 feet) 3 additional horsepower. At sea level it barely registers a change at all.
 - $\begingroup$ I think the drag numbers for the Cherokee series are pretty accurate (as is your math on the horsepower at typical GA cruise speeds). Working with about 130KIAS my math came out to between 1 and 4 percent of engine horsepower going to fighting drag (much of the variation from stuff like propeller pitch & cruise power setting) the antenna drag, or roughly 1-3 knots if you completely removed and smoothed the antennas. Obviously that's the mathematical ideal - in the real world I'd expect less substantial gains. $\endgroup$ – voretaq7 Feb 7 '14 at 17:44
 - $\begingroup$ It's worth noting though that as lousy as light GA aircraft are in the aerodynamics department some antennas are worse - like these "Flying V" beasts. I don't even want to think about the profile drag on that :-) $\endgroup$ – voretaq7 Feb 7 '14 at 17:47

 $\begingroup$ _USER_ That thing looks like it might actually generate lift though! $\endgroup$ – Lnafziger Feb 8 '14 at 3:16
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_: according to this document, removing the antennas gained 4 knots in cruise speed (probably KTAS), so seems to be accurate. $\endgroup$ – Qantas 94 Heavy Feb 8 '14 at 4:16

text: We demonstrate a novel motion correction of 3D magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) using spiral projection k-space trajectory. The motion was corrected using rigid motion parameters extracted from a whole-brain navigator obtained every 7s of imaging. Firstly, we optimized the trajectory ordering in simulation and selected the acquisition scheme that allowed the best navigator for motion correction. Secondly, we applied this scheme to invivo data in healthy subjects scanned first without motion and then while performing a motion paradigm. Our motion correction improved the correlation of motion-corrupted data with motionless data by over 20% for both T1 and T2.


Convert a Shard Standalone to a Shard Replica Set
Starting in MongoDB 3.6, all shards must be replica sets. Before you can upgrade your 3.4 sharded cluster to version 3.6, you must convert any shards that are running as standalone mongod instances to replica set shards.
This tutorial describes the process for converting a shard standalone into a shard replica set. The procedure is specific to a shard standalone. To convert just a standalone to a replica set (i.e. not a part of any sharded cluster), see Convert a Standalone to a Replica Set instead.
The following procedure converts a standalone shard to a single-member replica set shard. The procedure assumes that the single member runs on the same host and port as before.
 1. Shut down the shard standalone mongod instance.
 2. Restart the shard instance with the --replSet option to specify the name of the new replica set. Ensure that the name is distinct (for instance, you could use the shard name as the replica set name); in particular, shard replica sets must not use the same name as the config server replica set.
 The other options can remain the same.
 For example, the following command starts a standalone instance as a member of a new replica set named shardA. The other options stay the same as before; e.g. --dbpath uses the standalone's existing database path of /srv/mongodb/db0 and --port is the same as before:
 mongod --port 27018 --dbpath /srv/mongodb/db0 --shardsvr --replSet shardA --bind_ip localhost,
 For more information on configuration options, see Configuration File Options and the mongod manual page.
 3. Connect mongosh to the shard mongod instance.
 4. Use rs.initiate() to initiate the new replica set:
 The replica set is now operational. To view the replica set configuration, use rs.conf(). To check the status of the replica set, use rs.status().
 5. Disconnect from the instance.
 6. Connect mongosh to one of the sharded cluster's mongos instances and retrieve the shard information:
 var myShard = db.getSiblingDB("config").shards.findOne( { _id: ""} )
 Replace with the name of the shard. The of the shard is separate from the shard replica set name (unless you are using the shard name as the replica set name). To retrieve the name of the shard, see the shards section in the results from the sh.status() method. For example, if the result of sh.status() includes the following shards section, the name of the two shards are "shard0000" and "shard0001" respectively:
 { "_id" : "shard0000", "host" : "", "state" : 1 }
 { "_id" : "shard0001", "host" : "", "state" : 1 }
 7. Update the host information with the replica set information: = "/"
 Replace with the name of the replica set. Replace with the replica set member. For example shardA/
 8. Save the information.
 db.getSiblingDB("config"), { writeConcern: { w: "majority" } } )
 9. Repeat for the next standalone shard in the sharded cluster. Ensure that you use a distinct name for each shard replica set.
 10. Once you have finished converting shard standalone instances to shard replica sets, force the members of sharded cluster to update their knowledge of other shards' connection strings by restarting all members of the sharded cluster:
To add members to this replica set, use the rs.add() method. For more information on adding members to a replica set, see Add Members to a Replica Set.
To convert a non-shard standalone to a non-shard replica set, see Convert a Standalone to a Replica Set instead.

Nonlinear sea waves generated by the wind, including freak waves, are considered to be phenomena that can be modelled using the nonlinear (cubic) Schrodinger equation, for example. However, there is a problem with this approach which is that sea surface waves, driven by wind speeds of varying strength, must be considered to be composed of two distinct types, namely, linear waves and nonlinear waves. In this paper, we consider a different approach to modelling 'nonlinear' waves that is based on a solution to the linear wave equation under a low-gradient, phase-only condition. This approach is entirely compatible with the fluid equations of motion (the Navier-Stokes equations) and is thereby not based on a phenomenological model such as the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation.

Analyze Formal Requirements of an Electric Vehicle Charger Locking Mechanism
This example uses a Requirements Table block to define a set of formal requirements used by a model of an electric vehicle charger locking system. After creating formal requirements for the locking system, you analyze the requirements for issues that can prevent the requirements from being complete and consistent. Once you identify the issues, you adjust the requirements.
When charging an electric vehicle, the charging port of the vehicle can be exposed to high voltages, which can be dangerous to consumers without proper safeguards. Electric chargers and vehicles deploy locking mechanisms to prevent customers from being exposed to these voltages. To ensure the locking mechanism activates and deactivates without creating hazards, the charging station provides signals to the vehicle before, during, and after charging. The vehicle uses those signals to determine when the charging cord can be unlocked and is safe to handle.
View the Formal Requirements
Open the model,
This model adapts the signals used by the charging station from the standard SAE J1772. To capture the signals, the Requirements Table block uses six input ports that are associated with input data of the same name. See Define Data in Requirements Table Blocks.
The input data are:
ChargeStatus: The charging status of the vehicle. The status indicates that the vehicle is not charging (
NotCharging), charging (
ChargeStart), shutting down (
NrmlShutDown), or performing an emergency shut down (
EvseType: If the vehicle is compatible with the charging station or not. The vehicle can be
Incompatible, or undecided (
PilotStatus: The pilot status of the charging station. The pilot status indicates if the charging station is on standby (
A), if the charging station detects the vehicle (
B), if the charging station detects the vehicle and that the vehicle is ready to charge (
C), if the charging station detects the vehicle and that the vehicle is ready for charging in a ventilated area (
D), or if there is an error (
Deach have two substates. Substate
1indicates that the charging station is not ready to charge, and substate
2indicates that the charging station is ready to charge.
SessionStopResMsg: Whether the termination of the charging session has been acknowledged by the charging station (
Received) or not (
Vinlet: The voltage of the charging port measured by the vehicle.
LockCommand: The status of the lock. The lock can either be
The block uses the value of the input data to set the Type property of the data to an enumerated value specified in a MATLAB® program file. For example, the
ChrgStat.m file contains the available statuses for the
Open the block to view the requirements. The Requirements tab lists three simple requirements:
The electric vehicle shall lock the cord in place if the electric vehicle supply equipment is compatible.
The electric vehicle shall unlock the cord if the acknowledge terminate charging session signal is received and the vehicle measures an input voltage that is less than
60V during normal shutdown procedures.
The electric vehicle shall unlock the cord if the pilot status is not ready and the vehicle measures an input voltage that is less than
60V during an emergency shutdown.
Each requirement specifies the checked conditions the Precondition column. If the requirement precondition is satisfied, the block then verifies that the appropriate locking status occurs in the postconditions, specified in the Postcondition column. For example, in the first requirement, the specified precondition checks if the vehicle type is compatible. If true, the block checks if the cord is locked, specified in the postcondition.
Analyze the Requirements for Issues
After creating a requirement set in the block, confirm that the requirements uniquely define the data captured, stored, and generated by the block. In this example, you use Simulink® Design Verifier™ to detect issues in your requirement set for you. These issues are adapted from the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148 standard. In this example, Simulink Design Verifier detects two kinds of issues:
Inconsistency Issues: The block detects a scenario where the data can equal more than one value during simulation.
Incompleteness Issues: The block detects a scenario where the data is not defined during simulation.
To analyze the table, in the Table tab, in the Analyze section, click Analyze Table.
Update the Requirements
To resolve the issues, you need to update the requirements. For example, to alleviate the inconsistency issue, update the precondition in the first requirement so that the charge status must be charging and the charger must be compatible with the vehicle.
After updating the precondition, run the analysis again to confirm that you have fixed the inconsistency issue.
This update does not resolve the incompleteness issues. To do that, the requirements must specify values for the data defined in the block throughout the simulation. Iterate through updating and analyzing the requirements to resolve these remaining issues.
Open the model
CordLockReqTable_v2 and open the Requirements Table block to see an example of a complete requirement set.
The table includes additional input data,
ChargePlug, that specifies if the cord is plugged into the vehicle (
Plugged) or not (
NotPlugged). The requirement set also includes five additional requirements. To improve readability, the requirements have been rewritten to use additional column headers.
When you design requirements, you must consider the physical limitations of your system. For example, if you develop a requirement that specifies a diameter, you must ensure the diameter cannot be negative. To account for the physical limitations of the system, specify assumptions in the Assumptions tab. See Add Assumptions to Requirements. In this example, the Requirements Table block includes three assumptions.
If the pilot status is on standby (
A), then the car is not charging.
If the vehicle is not compatible with the charger, then the vehicle is not charging.
If the charger is not plugged in, then the vehicle is not charging.
To view the assumptions, click the Assumptions tab.
If you run the analysis on this requirement set, Simulink Design Verifier does not detect issues.

A hug and an embrace may seem similar to each other, but the main difference between the two is the type of affection that you will provide when you are doing these actions. When you provide a hug, this means that you will tightly squeeze a person in order to express your affection. When you embrace someone, this means that you are holding the person in your arms.
This may occur for an extended period of time. You may usually provide a hug or an embrace to the people that you care about. The longer that you hold the person, the more of an embrace it is rather than a hug. You may give a hug or an embrace, depending on what you think the person needs.
Hug and Embrace are two action words. It will be very difficult to figure out the differences between the two words if you do not have an understanding of the usage of the words. Hug and embrace have almost the same meaning. Hug simply means to cling so tightly with someone, especially in the arms. This is a particular way of showing affection to someone.
Embrace also has the same meaning as a hug. For example, John hugged/embraced Esther until he felt better. The major difference between hug and embrace will be discussed in relation to how they are used in a sentence. A hug is most times used as a verb, but it can also be used as a noun, for example, I'm looking for someone who will give me a hug. Embrace, on the other hand, can also be used as a verb and also, as a noun. Aside from, embrace has other meanings. It can be used to show that you are in support of someone's idea. For example, I embraced Paul's idea because it looked good to me.
A hug and an embrace or both forms of physical contact; however, a hug usually is more casual, whereas, an embrace is often a shared exchange between two people who are in love. It may even come across as if the two people embracing want to hold on to one another endlessly because it can get that intimate. Hugs can be exchanged between friends and family, and most casual situations where both involve the act of holding someone with affection.
Hugs mean more of a squeezing action. An embrace is keeping a tighter hold, and it may last a lot longer than a hog. An embrace could also mean keeping, or holding onto a belief, or even an acceptance of something, such as faith or trust in God or Jesus. An example would be embracing Jesus Christ as our Savior. Another example would be embracing changes in our lives whereas some people don't like change.


FBI warns child abductors may use social media to lure victims

The FBI is warning parents that criminals may pose as minors online in order to lure children into traps and abduct them.
"While criminals exploit social media and social networks to commit crimes involving child sexual abuse material, sex trafficking of a minor, and child sex tourism, the use of these platforms to facilitate child abductions is lesser-known," the Bureau said in a statement.
According to authorities, child abductors will create accounts on various social media networks and dating apps to search for targets, as those tools are considered lower-risk ways of gaining access to children.
Criminals will then groom the children online, enticing their victim to meet with the eventual abductor in person.
While the number of child abductions using social media only represents a small percentage of FBI child abduction investigations, authorities say that with children spending so much more time on computers or mobile devices with access to the internet, they expect the percentage of criminals using those methods to lure victims will increase.
"With current restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools in many areas of the United States are likely to remain closed, resulting in children being left at home and potentially unsupervised due to reduced daycare options and parents having to return to work," the FBI said. "As a result, they are likely to spend more time on the Internet, further increasing their vulnerability."
The FBI also described three incidents where social media or social networks were used to facilitate child abductions.

ESX Server mounts the storage using UUID. With the hard disk changed, UUID changes too. Hence, ESX fails to mount
- You boot an ESX host machine from Acronis Bootable Media;
- You back up the machine's hard disk;
- After that you replace the hard disk in the machine with an identical one;
- You restore the backup to the new disk;
- You boot the ESX host machine from the restored disk;
- Guest Operating Systems fail to boot and ESX Server cannot recognize the restored disk.
ESX Server mounts the storage using Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). With the hard disk changed, UUID changes too. As a result ESX Server fails to recognize the restored hard disk and mount the storage. Hence, Guest Operating Systems fail to boot.
To migrate ESX Server to new hard disks you need to do the following:
- Restore an existing image of ESX Server to new hard disks;
- Boot ESX Server and hit Alt-F1 to enter the command-line interface. Log in under root;
- Issue the following command:
esxcfg-advcfg -g /LVM/EnableResignature
There will be either 1 or 0 value output. If the value is 0, then ESX will not automatically update the VMFS header with new LUN and UUID. Therefore this value should be set to 1:
esxcfg-advcfg -s 1 /LVM/EnableResignature
- Reboot the ESX Server:
shutdown -r 0
- After the reboot you should connect to the ESX Server from the Console and check if the data storage has been mounted properly.
(!) The Guest Operating Systems will remain in the unknown state. So, you should reinitialize guest virtual machines:
- In the left menu of ESX Server Console right-click on the guest machine name and click Remove from inventory;
- Choose host ESX server-> Configuration;
- Under the Hardware section choose Storage and right-click on it (it should contain a list of virtual machines;
- Click Browse Datastore;
- Choose the.vmx of the machine that was removed from inventory;
- Click on the Add this virtual machine to inventory option.
After this the ESX Server should work properly and Guest Operating Systems should boot.

The answer depends upon what type of Context Diagram you are referring to.
This diagram is the highest level view of a system.
 - IDEF0 Top Level Context Diagrams have a single top-level context diagram and then have optional 'child' diagrams below that. So the answer here would be "Yes."
The IDEF0 process starts with the identification of the prime function to be decomposed. This function is identified on a "Top Level Context Diagram," that defines the scope of the particular IDEF0 analysis.... From this diagram lower-level diagrams are generated.

Simple white clay pipe adorned with three metal bands marked 'ECB London', 'MS' and 'U', and 'EP', which probably came from other pipes.
Dr D A Higgins of the Society for Pipe Research, told us that it is a typical Scottish clay pipe of late C19th or early C20th date. Thick, chunky pipes like this were favoured in Scotland and made by many different manufacturers. Those from the larger firms often had a pattern number on the left hand side of the stem [this one does not].
The metal bands are nothing to do with the pipe, but could well have come from others. Briar pipes typically had a metal band like these to join the wooden bowl with a vulcanite stem. Some, more expensive, clays with stems of vulcanite or other materials also had a metal band. The diamond-shaped band could have come from a 'Bulldog' pattern of pipe, which had a diamond-shaped stem section. These bands would have been made since the mid C19th as composite pipes only really came into circulation after around 1850.

Suppose two people are trying to quit smoking. They both want a cigarette, but they wish they didn't want a cigarette. So there is a difference between what they want and what they metawant. Now, suppose one of the two people smokes a cigarette. Does that mean that the person who smoked had less willpower?
If somebody does not do something that they have a first order desire to do and a second order desire to abstain from, this could be viewed as an example of willpower. However, we do not know how strong their first order desire was. In the above example, perhaps the person who smoked had a much stronger first order desire to smoke, but they both had an equal second order desire to not smoke. Did the smoker really have less willpower?
Denote by W (for 'want') the level of first order desire that a person has to take some action. Denote by MW (for 'metawant') the level of second order desire to not take the action. We could roughly think of the decision to take the action or not as determined by whether MW>W.
What we observe is whether the person took the action, i.e., whether MW exceeded W. But we do not observe MW and W.
If the person who successfully quit smoking, or if the skinny person who doesn't overeat, brags about superior willpower, it seems to me that they are inferring (assuming) something about other people's MW and W, even though they only observed whether MW exceeded W.

How did you hear about Escombe Saxon Church
A font is a basin for the Holy water used in a baptism (christening), a ceremony of sprinkling water on a person's (baby's) forehead or of totally immersing the person in water. Baptism symbolises purification or regeneration and admission into the Christian church.
The octagonal font at Escombe is at least 800 years old but could be much older. It has been carved out of a single piece of sandstone and may have been part of a Roman fountain. In late Saxon times it was the custom for babies to be totally immersed in the Holy water in the font but earlier than this, adult baptism was the usual ceremony. This could be by total immersion in a place such as the nearby river or by standing in the font, which would have been on the floor in those days.
The water in the font, which was changed once a year, was blessed at the service on Easter Sunday to be used throughout the rest of the year.
In the 13th century, the Archbishop of York ordered that fonts should be locked. This was to prevent people stealing the baptismal water and using it for superstitious practices e.g. to counteract the effects of a neighbour's curse or a witch's spell. The problem was what to do with the unused Holy water the following Easter. It could not be thrown away as a witch hiding in the churchyard might catch it to use for spells. It had to stay in Holy ground.
The nave is the main part of the church building where people sit for services.
The chancel is the part of the church containing the altar and seats for the clergy (priests, vicars, ministers) and choir. It is separated from the nave by steps or a screen.
|The sanctuary is the most sacred part of the church and is where the altar is.
Because Escombe Saxon Church was built to a very simple plan, the sanctuary and chancel are the same place, separated from the nave by a step and the chancel arch. The arch is thought to have been re-assembled from a Roman arch, brought with the rest of the stone from Binchester. The original arch was probably much lower, having all the upright stones horizontal. This wouldn't look right in such a tall building, so the Saxons put alternate stones on end to make it higher. It is a typical Anglo-Saxon arrangement, the first of its type and has been named 'Escombe Fashion' after this arch and is still called so by architects today.
|The table in the sanctuary in a Christian church at which the bread and wine are consecrated in communion services.|
These are the consecrated elements (bread and wine) of the Eucharist. They are used in the service of Holy Communion, commemorating the Last Supper (before Jesus was arrested) in which bread and wine are consecrated (made sacred) and consumed. The bread and wine represent the body and blood of Christ.
The lectern is a reading stand with a sloping top. It is tall enough for people to stand to read lessons from the Bible or to preach a sermon (a talk given by the priest or minister during the service.)
A sign signifying the Christian religion.
The stone cross behind the altar is probably older than the church and may have formed part of a preaching cross or grave cover. It is a 'green cross' or 'living cross' with rose-like flowers growing from it.
There is a 'consecration cross' cut into the stonework behind the lectern. We must remember that the stone for Escombe Church came from a Roman fort so when the church was finished, it needed to be consecrated (made sacred as a holy building.) There were originally 5 consecration crosses, the one behind the lectern and one on each corner of the church outside. Now only one of the outside crosses can still be seen.

Gardens for entertainment
Vauxhall Gardens in the late 1740s had many delights. The gardens were situated just east of Vauxhall Bridge. They were first laid out around 1661 and were known as New Spring Gardens. However, it wasn't until 1732 when Jonathan Tyers took charge that the park became an elegant 'pleasure garden' where 'polite' society would meet.
The place to be seen
Tyers transformed the gardens. He added a music room, Chinese pavilion, gothic orchestra stand and numerous arches and temples. The many statues included one of the composer Handel, who often performed there. Tyers put in grand avenues where the fashionable could promenade. There were over one hundred supper boxes, each painted with a mural, where dinner could be served.
Many extravaganzas were performed at Vauxhall Gardens. These included a rehearsal of Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks in 1749. The gardens provided entertainment until the mid-19th century, when they went into a gradual decline.

Well, assuming words are separated by spaces, to find lines with >= 5 words, do this:
$ grep -P '\w+\s+\w+\s+\w+\s+\w+\s+\w+'
Grep is not the best tool for the job though, try gawk:
$ gawk 'NF>4'
Gawk's NF variable holds the number of fields, by default fields are defined by spaces, so in a line of text each field is a word. The command above will print all lines containing more than 4 words.

But words can also be separated by comma. And at the end of the sentence there is dot. I try this: grep -E "(\w+[,.]+){25,}" and it seems to work allright. – quin61 Sep 5 '12 at 11:01
My gawk command counts fields _USER_, three spaces means four fields. The dot is irrelevant and, in normal text, there is a space after the comma. – terdon Sep 5 '12 at 13:32

What: A graded color effect is nice for boundaries that you want to appear to blend into the map. For the Crater Lake map, we wanted the outside of the Park boundary to be distinct and the inside of the boundary to blend into the background. If you had to symbolize an indeterminate boundary, you could make further modifications so both sides blended and the line would look like it was indistinct on both edges and more distinct in the middle. Why: It is sometimes appropriate to show that that features have indistinct boundaries or there is an interior to a feature. Either of these goals can be achieved using a graded color boundary. The sharper edge of the boundary helps distinguish it as the exterior edge. If neither edge is distinct and the middle of the symbol is sharper, then the reader can better understand that the whole boundary is indistinct. How: To achieve the graded color boundary effect, you can use buffers symbolized with a color ramp. On our map, we matched the interior of the boundary with the our data so that it blended in; the exterior edge more sharply contrasted with the area outside the park extent.
To create the boundary:
You can also use the Multiple Ring Buffer tool in ArcToolbox. The difference is that you will need to input the distance value for each of the 20 rings. If you need to make a set of uniform width buffers, the older Buffer Wizard tool is faster.
To symbolize the boundary:
You can pick colors that match your map using the Eye Dropper tool. To add the Eye Dropper tool to any of your toolbars: Click Tools and Customize. Then click on the Commands tab and scroll down to Page Layout. The Eye Dropper tool will be on the right side of the window. Click and drag the tool to any of your toolbars. Use it to click on a color and find out its RGB values.

Background: Significant interest exists in establishing radiologic imaging as a valid biomarker for assessing the response of cancer to a variety of treatments. To address this problem, we have chosen to study patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma to learn whether statistical learning theory can improve the performance of radiologists using CT in predicting patient treatment response to therapy compared with the more traditional RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) standard.Results: Predictions of survival after 8 months in 38 patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique improved 30% when using additional information compared to WHO (World Health Organization) or RECIST measurements alone. With both Logistic Regression (LR) and SVM, there was no significant difference in performance between WHO and RECIST. The SVM and LR techniques also demonstrated that one radiologist consistently outperformed another.Conclusions: This preliminary research study has demonstrated that SLT algorithms, properly used in a clinical setting, have the potential to address questions and criticisms associated with both RECIST and WHO scoring methods. We also propose that tumor heterogeneity, shape, etc. obtained from CT and/or MRI scans be added to the SLT feature vector for processing.

1. What is the best way to teach netta juniors how to shoot?
A fun netball drill to teach young ones how to shoot, involves using the popular B.E.E.F. acronym. Start by teaching the actions first without the ball and then, once they have mastered the steps add the ball.
B is for balance
Feet are shoulder width apart. You might like to use a visual aid on the ground to encourage players to spread their feet should width apart. And always ensure that the feet are pointing to the post – many will have pigeon toes pointing in or out.
E is for eyes
They should imagine there is a witches hat sitting above the ring and aim for the point of the hat so the ball DROPS through the ring.
E is for elbow
Ensure that the arm is extended close to the ear with the elbow facing the ring. When the ball is taken back before releasing the ball, the elbow must remain facing the ring and not move out to the side. This ensures accuracy of the shot always. You can use the analogy that the straight arm holding the ball is up against the ear to block out all the yelling.
F is for follow through
Encourage a small flick of the wrist to "say goodbye" to the ball or "knock the fairy."
2. How to teach netball positions to players who have never played before
Play a game that involves players running to different positions on the court when you call them out. After that, play a game that is "Find Your Position." Games like these will help them to learn the positions and areas of the court.
3. How to teach young players not to step
If you find that there are players who constantly step during a game, check their balance. It might be a sign that they haven't properly learnt how to ground their landing foot. Netball Drills which involve learning to catch the ball in the air, land, rebalance and then pass are worth doing and should be done slowly and methodically at first until the technique is firmly entrenched in their minds.
For younger players, the ICE-CREAM technique is fun and effective but first, start without the ball and get the kids to practice their feet.
Get your players to line up along the base line and ask them to run and when you blow the whistle, they have to give a low leaping jump (just as if they're leaping over a puddle) and land on one foot with knees slightly bent. The players must call out "ICE" when they land the grounded foot. Then, the kids must pivot on the grounded foot "ICE" and say "CREAM." This will help to reinforce that the first foot is the one to stay on the ground.
Do this a few times, then once this has been mastered, give the players a ball to practice with – have them gently throw it into the air and catch it – concentrating on what their feet were doing and saying "ICE CREAM" to match their feet.
4. How to teach basic pass and catch skills
Begin with small bean bags. Stand the players in a circle and pass a small bean bag to the player on their right hand side. Once that is done change directions, all the while encourage them to throw at chest height. Once they have mastered that introduce the ball and make sure the distance between the players when they pass isn't too big, get them to learn accuracy first to give them time to develop strength in their passing.
5. How to teach basic movement
Have all players stand on the base line. As coach, stand in the middle of the court facing the team. Call out instructions for what movement you want the players to do (e.g. run left, right, jump, forward, back or down – touch the ground).
6. How to stop over crowding
Young players like to run for the ball like sea gulls to hot chips so to avoid over crowding teach the team a "clear out" drill. When this is called, players need to look around and spread out (find their own space). Once they have space between them and the one with the ball, they need to take run in for the pass when their name is called by the one with the ball.
7. How to help prevent players passing to the other team
Young players have a lot to remember in their first few games of netball so be patient and encouraging.
For the Netta juniors, at training put half the team in bibs & other half not. One at a time get a team member to stand about 5 metres away from the team. They must be holding the ball ready to pass with their back to the rest of the team. Mean while the rest of the team is moving back and forth (left & right) about 5 metres away. The person with the ball turns (on a signal) to pass the ball to someone in a bib (or without, your call). This is repeated 5 times for each team member or those with the problem. Please note, no effort should be made by others to block the ball at this stage. Doing this at practice and then shortly before the game can help them remember.
You should also encourage some communication on court – ask that the players call each others names out before they pass.
8. How to teach netta players how to defend
Try the "shadow defending drill." This is where 2 players stand together facing each other, one player is to make the moves while the other player is to copy the movement. Once they have gotten used to this, change it up and have both players face the same direction.
The one in front will remain as the shadow while the one behind will be the mover. This builds defending skills for following their opposition players on court and to stay in a front as a defending position using their peripheral vision to follow opposition player.
We hope you find these 8 netball drills useful. Feel free to sign up for our newsletter below for more great tips!

The Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree program was established in 1975 as a Department with the aim of producing highly skilled Dental Surgeons comparable to those trained in the developed countries. The first set of Dental students started their clinical training in 1977 and the program attained full accreditation by the Nigerian Medical and Dental Council in 1978.The single Dentistry Department was split into four autonomous departments in August 1981.
The Development Committee of the Senate of the University of Ibadan approved the creation of these departments in 1985 and four departments in Dentistry were accorded full Faculty status in April 2002. The Department would have been split into two at the creation of the four departments but for the low staff strength. Department of Preventive Dentistry in 1981 was one of the four departments at that time consisting of four different discipline/units namely: Periodontology, Dental Public Health, Paedodontics and Orthodontics.
The first Acting Head of Department was Dr. M.O. Noah and the current is Dr. Modupe O. Arowojolu.The staff strength in the department then increased to eight (8) and this has also brought up the€€ need for a split of the department to ensure compliance with the normal academic structure, the world over and as recommended by National University Commission (NUC) minimum standards. The department was then officially split into two departments (Preventive Dentistry and Child Oral Health) in the year 2004.
- Didactic and clinical teachings to Dental students.
- Laboratory instructions to Dental students.
- Community Health Program.
- Primary Health Program was established in Idikan area of Ibadan and Igboora for the purpose of teaching dental students in community.
- Dentistry, for carrying out research and for rendering services to patients in a Primary Health Care Setting.
- The Department also conducts planned visits to Schools and Community.
- Research projects are assigned to students in their final year.

It is always tricky when you have Identity column and that is a Primary Key for the table.
Based on my experience dealing with T-Rep and Merge, I would recommend to use
NOT FOR REPLICATION to NO. By default it is set to YES. You can do it on sql 2005 and up dynamically (without affecting replication) using
If you are not updating the data on subscriber side, you should be fine.
To answer your question :
Say we were to reseed an Identity Column on a Table on Server A (for whatever reason), how would this affect the data on Server B?
Considering, you are not updating the data on subscriber, when you want to reseed, you should always take the max value from the identity column and then reseed the value accordingly.
You can use below sql to find that out :
SELECT QUOTENAME(SCHEMA_NAME(t.schema_id)) + '.' + QUOTENAME(t.name) AS TableName,
c.name AS ColumnName,
IDENT_CURRENT(SCHEMA_NAME(t.schema_id) + '.' + t.name) AS CurrentIdentityValue,
IDENT_INCR (SCHEMA_NAME(t.schema_id) + '.' + t.name) as Identity_increment
FROM sys.columns AS c
INNER JOIN sys.tables AS t ON t.[object_id] = c.[object_id]
WHERE c.is_identity = 1
-- write here the table name if you want to filter for specific table
and t.name like '%TABLE_NAME%'
for example consider below customer table :
TableName ColumnName CurrentIdentityValue Identity_increment
[dbo].[customer] id 7 1
Now if you want to somehow reseed the identity value, you can run
dbcc checkident ('customer',reseed,8 )
This means that it will set the current Identity value to 8, so next time any row is inserted into the table, it will have current identity value as 8 (CurrentIdentityValue) + 1(Identity_increment) = 9.
You have to be careful doing this as this can cause identity gaps.
Other things you can do are :
- Manual identity range management solutions using
sp_addaritcle with parameters like
_USER_,_USER_ and _USER_

 What is Online CSS Cubic Bezier Generator?
 CSS Cubic Bezier Generator is a free online tool for generating CSS code for cubic bezier easing functions by getting info about the animation from time vs progress graph or directly previewing the animation.
 When creating animations on web development, mostly linear transitions are used since most animations are very short and users may not feel the difference between a linear CSS animation and an animation which has an easing function. But, if you are working with complex animations which has a duration above ~0.5s, it is important to use more natural easing functions or elastic movements which attracts users more. There are predefined easing functions in CSS which can be used for better animations which are ease, ease-in, ease-out and ease-in-out. When these easing types are not sufficient, best way to manage an animation timing in CSS is to use Cubic Bezier easing functions.
 Time vs Progress graph for Cubic Bezier Easing
 Time vs Progress graph for Cubic Bezier Easing
 There are 4 parameters in CSS cubic bezier animation timing function which defines the positions of 2 points, P1 & P2. First point P1 identifies the progress at the start of the animation while P2 identifies the final part. Cubic bezier curve is defined in coordinate system starting from point (0,0) to point (1,1). The path between these points describes the progress of the CSS animation.
 - x1, y1: x and y coordinates of P1 (Point 1) which defines start of animation.
 - x2, y2: x and y coordinates of P2 (Point 2) which defines end of animation.
 By defining x and y coordinates of these 2 points, you can define the progress of all animation with cubic bezier funtion in CSS. x values are limited between 0 and 1 while y values may be between minus infinity to plus infinity. But, in terms of achieving natural animation progress, it is limited between -2 to +2 in the tool.
 How to use Online CSS Cubic Bezier Generator?
 You can generate CSS code for cubic bezier animation timing functions by following these easy steps.
 1. First, you have to select 4 coordinates for constructing the cubic bezier starting and ending points.
 2. Animation can be previewed online by pressing the play icon. If the result is not satisfactory, you can fine tune it easily by changing the coordinates. Also, the graph is helpful to predict the CSS animation progress. Its path and slopes give ideas about the result.
 3. Default animation duration is one second, but you can change it between a range from 0 to 5 seconds. Also, predefined CSS animation timing functions can be selected from the list see how they behave.
 4. CSS code or cubic bezier coordinates can be copied and used in your project by just pasting it in your stylesheet.

The building which is nowadays the site of the University of Seville was formerly the Cigar Factory.
Sevilla, as it had the monopoly of the trade with America, was the first place in Europe to know tobacco and the Cigar Factory of Seville was the first built in Europe.
In the 18th century, in order to meet its development, a big building of dun stone was erected in the current Prado de San Sebastian of Seville. It had two stories, surrounded by a ditch and it looked more like a palace than like a factory. There is an anecdote which tells that at the cigar factory worked the cigar makers, typical women surrounded by legend (the mythic Carmen was a cigar maker), who were portrayed by artists like Gonzalo de Bilbao.
The factory lines are sober, except for the pyramidal crowns of the corners and the colorful main façade adorned with medallions representing America's discovery -conquerors, galleons, natives smokingand crowned by a dynamic statue of the Fame, winged and playing a trumpet. Besides the interest of its façade, it is especially interesting, in the interior, the Patio del Reloj (The Clock Patio).
Half way through the 20th century, the University of Sevilla started to be moved into the building, thus the Cigar Factory moved out to another building by the banks of the Guadalquivir River. Today the building is occupied by the rector's offices and the central services of the University of Sevilla as well as some faculties.

Rooting for realistic black dolls
First there was the golliwog, then there was black Barbie. Now the creators of a new talking doll say that, after 140 years of racism and negative stereotyping, toys for black children have finally come of age with a doll that teaches them their roots.
Rooti dolls claim to be the first fashion dolls to speak languages from countries ranging from Ghana to Zimbabwe and are designed to help the Western children of African parents to stay in touch with their heritage.
"The idea of Rooti dolls is to create that early interest in our children in their own culture, an appreciation of where they come from and to improve their self-esteem," said Chris Chidi Ngoforo, founder of United Kingdom-based Rooti Creations, which makes the dolls.
"My three daughters love dolls that look and dress like them," said Ngoforo. "But my daughters couldn't speak a word of Igbo, which is the ethnic group in Nigeria that I come from. They were my inspiration to create a doll that could provide a positive image and also teach them our languages."
The dolls, which go on sale this year, are further evidence of a resurgence in confidence among African migrants, experts say, and an increasing desire to hold on to their culture.
"In the past, the argument for not teaching the children the African language in addition to English was that it would confuse them or detrimentally affect their picking up of English, which is deemed to be the more important language," said Kwaku, a UK-based African history consultant. "Now we know that children can learn several languages at the same time."
Reshaping the toy industry
The dolls are the latest in a long line of attempts to reshape a toy industry that for many people of African descent still reflects racial prejudice. Attempts by Mattel to create an entire range of African-American Barbie dolls – with names such as Chandra, Zahara, Trichelle and Janessa – met with derision from some groups, who said the dolls did not go far enough in portraying a more realistic body image of black women.
"Many people told us that the [black] dolls on the market look like a white doll painted black," said Ngoforo. "Our dolls are created as a real image... of us as black people – African, African-Caribbean and African-American. They have wider noses, fuller lips, long curly hair and they come in various shades of black."
The impact on children of unrealistic depictions of black people has been the subject of controversy since the legal case that led to the desegregation of schools in the United States in the 1950s. Psychologist Kenneth Clark conducted a test on black children in which, given dolls that were identical except for their skin colour, the majority associated the black doll with negative stereotypes.
"Without dolls that accurately represent their own image, children end up looking up to white dolls and seeing the white image as being powerful and what beauty is," said Phillip Jordan, author of a study on racial preferences among black children.
But Rooti dolls, despite their more African facial features, have been criticised too. The dolls have long hair, which critics say reinforces negative messages about natural Afro hair and encourages the growing trend in hair extensions.
Ngoforo is planning a new range that promotes natural hair and more detailed black features. – © Guardian News & Media 2012

With the worldwide demand of graphite increasing, so the availability, cost and quality is under renewed scrutiny - with the vast majority of graphite being mined, and with these mines located in only a few significant countries, considerations of availability and sustainability have led to an increasing dependence on synthetic graphite to meet industrial needs. One potential source is 'kish' graphite recovered from the steel making process: Present within the dust produced as waste in steel plants, graphite flakes have been found in varying quantities, sizes and purity. Seven samples taken from a steel plant were analysed and tested. This testing broadly consisted of separating the kish graphite from the excess waste dust, and refining this graphite. Froth flotation was found to be an extremely effective way of achieving this, with purities of >90% being achieved from a single flotation for the larger flake sizes (>500µm). For the smaller flake sizes (<500µm), multiple froth floats were found to be needed in order to achieve the desired purity, but further complications required acid cleaning in order to achieve a >90% graphite sample. A saleable product was produced and a technical-economic assessment was made for a 10,000 tonne per year process plant.

What Is A Martingale And When Is One Needed?
by Caleb Jackson
If you are training a horse or your horse is at risk of throwing their head back, then you may want to consider using a martingale. Martingales are a common tool often used with English tack, but western riders also have purpose for them. They can be a critical safety tool under certain circumstances. Here is more about martingales, whether you need one, and how to use them.
What Is A Martingale?
A martingale is a device to control how high your horse can raise their head. It consists of a strap made of leather or synthetic material that either connects the bit or the nose to a neck strap. Another piece connects the neck strap to the cinch to keep the martingale in place. There are three common types of martingale, and each has its pros and cons.
Why Use a Martingale?
Some horses throw their heads up during certain activities, or out of nervousness or defiance. For example, if your horse likes to evade the bit by raising their head, then a martingale will help prevent that. It's also used as a training aid to teach the horse how to carry its head and body properly.
What Are the Types of Martingales?
Most people use one of the three martingale types listed below. Each works differently. Which one you use should be based on your horse and your own safety.
Running Martingale
Running martingales work directly with the reins and bit to control the horse's head. If the head is lifted too high, then the horse will feel pressure in the mouth. Running martingales are said to be safer than other martingales and offer a horse the most freedom of movement.
Standing Martingale
Instead of using the bit to help control the head, this martingale uses nose pressure. This physically prevents the horse from moving their head too high. However, if fitted too tight, it could cause balance problems for the horse. Some horses also get into the habit of leaning on it for balance which could be a problem if you ride without it.
German Martingale
The German martingale, also known as the Market Harborough, is similar to the running martingale. However, unlike the running martingale, it relies entirely on the horse to self-correct instead of the rider and the reins. These martingales are generally used in training and not in regular riding or competition.
Martingales are a tool for both training and safety while riding with English tack. Whether you need one depends on your horse, your riding level, and the activities you do. Even if you choose to use one, you won't need it for every activity. If you are interested in martingales, then contact an English tack seller for more information.

Trend found in today's young couples are avoiding living near the house of their parent-in-law. The reason is that the couple could be more independent, or they could also avoid the nagging mother-in-law. However, parent-in-laws living near them actually offers many advantages, in addition to be more efficient, it can also increase fertility.
Dr Virpi Lummaa from the Sheffield University analyzed the records of 300 years churches with the last data recorded in 2000. These records contain data of birth, marriages and deaths of farmers in Finland.
The study, presented at the 2012 Euroscience conference in Dublin found that married couples who live close to their parent-in-laws have more children. In addition, the distance between the child's birth time is also shorter. Couples also tend to marry at a young age when their mother are still alive.
Not only that, previous research has found that children born from couples who living near their grandmother's home are less likely to die in infancy. It seems that the new family benefits from the additional people who are willing to help provide care to children.
Dr Lummaa did not find any differences between the mother or father-in-law. However, previous research on African families found that the mother-in-law is a person who gives the greatest benefit.
The positive impact of mother-in-law is probably due to age. Men generally married at an older age than women, the paternal grandmother are also typically older and less able to help care for grandchildren.
"The role of grandfathers gives less obvious impact not because the grandfather does not doing anything, but because the help from grandfatheres cannot be translated directly by the grandchild," said Dr. Lumma as reported by Medical Daily.
Besides studying the effects of being close to parent-in-law, Dr. Lummaa also learn why women lose the ability to have children when they are relatively still young, while other mammals are able to reproduce in their old age.
The latest research confirms the findings support the theory that menopause is a natural way to keep the women not have more children when they could be said still young as a grandmother. This mechanism will make menopausal women more focused to care for their grandchildren at the same time avoid the trauma of childbirth.Tagged with: couple fertility, living near parent-in-law more fertile,

Background: Reduction mammaplasty is a frequently performed plastic surgical procedure, yet preoperative assessment usually excludes an estimated resection weight. In this retrospective study, a formula was derived using regression analysis of routinely measured preoperative anthropomorphic measurements and intraoperative resection weights.
Methods: Data were collected from 214 consecutive breast reduction patients operated on at a tertiary referral center between January of 1993 and January of 2006. The operations were performed by 15 plastic surgeons using a variety of reduction pattern techniques. Four variables were recorded for each patient: notch to nipple distance, nipple to inframammary crease distance, body mass index, and age. Regression analysis was performed on the data to establish which preoperative measurements correlated most accurately with the resection weight.
Results: The following formula was established relating nipple to inframammary crease distance and notch to nipple distance measurement to the weight removed: Breast weight = (35.4 × notch to nipple distance + 60.66 × nipple to inframammary crease distance) – 1239.64.
Conclusion: Use of this formula aids the surgeon with patient counseling, insurance company quotes, and intraoperatively in patients with asymmetry or those undergoing reconstruction, as a guide to resection weights.

jQuery Mobile: The Concept of Linking Mobile Pages (1)
- a jQM page is bounded by a box with data-role='page' attribute (based on custom data attributes - HTML 5 standard)
- more than one jQM page can be defined in a HTML document
- the first jQM page is always loaded and rendered if the HTML document is loaded through sync. HTTP request, i.e not Ajax (async)
- a jQM page can be loaded via HTTP request or Ajax (xmlHttpRequest) request
- by default, jQM loads a mobile page (referenced from another mobile page) via Ajax unless special attribute is specified
Scenario 1: Multiple jQM pages in a HTML document
This is the most simple and common scenario; multiple jQM pages within a document. The following diagram shows how a document is initially loaded and how a mobile page is retrieved from an user interaction:
Mobile browser retrieves the whole document from the server and loads it. Since it is HTTP document request, any code within

- whole cooked lobster, cooled
- kitchen shears
- bamboo skewers
- lobster-shell cracker or nutcracker
1. The Tail
Bend lobster tail back slightly and twist to remove—it should come apart easily. Starting at open end, using kitchen shears, cut shell down middle of tail's underside, as shown. Open up shell like a book; remove meat in one piece. If there is green pasty stuff (the liver and pancreas, called tomalley), wipe it away with a paper towel and discard. The same goes for any tiny eggs.
Editor's Note: Some Canadians love tomalley! Just remember, Health Canada advises children avoid it and adults to restrict their consumption to no more than the amount found in one lobster.
2. The Claws, Part A
Twist two front legs off body of lobster. If they don't twist off easily, use kitchen shears to snip through any cartilage. Bend small pincer back and forth until it breaks off, as shown. Carefully pull shell away from meat to keep claw intact. If meat breaks apart, use bamboo skewer to pull meat out of pincer.
3. The Claws, Part B
Using lobster shell cracker, break into large claw shell at base, as shown. Using fingers or skewer, pull out claw meat. If needed, use kitchen shears to cut into shell further, opening it like a book and lifting out meat. Make sure all hard cartilage has detached from claw meat before setting aside. Don't forget the knuckle! Break this leg section into pieces and push out meat with skewer.
4. Reserve Shells
Now you have the secret ingredient to the most amazing soups, stocks and flavoured butters: lobster shells. If you can't use them right away, toss them in a freezer-safe bag or container and store them in the freezer.
Editor's Note: The skinny leg pieces have very small bits of meat you can extract with a skewer, or many cooks leave them intact to help flavour the next recipe.
Here's how to make Lobster Butter.
From lobster rolls to risottos to decadent eggs Benedict, there's no end to enjoying succulent Canadian lobster meat. Try it in this seafaring chef's signature dish: Oleg's Seafood Chowder.

How to Pair Apple Watch to iPhone XR
Pairing a new iPhone with your Apple Watch should be an effortless task. You just need an Apple Watch app on your iOS device, and you can automatically pair the two devices.
However, since the XR is the most recent iPhone version, there are still some issues when pairing it with other devices, the Apple Watch included.
There are two methods to pair the iPhone XR and Apple Watch – manually and automatically. This article will guide you through both and offer solutions for some potential pairing issues you may encounter.
Step 1: Prepare Your Watch and Your iPhone
Before you pair the two devices, make sure that they're well-prepared to avoid any inconvenience. These are the things that you need to check:
- Check if your iOS device is working on the latest system version. If it isn't, there's a chance that the system won't recognize the Apple Watch. To prevent this, update your iPhone before you proceed.
- Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap 'Bluetooth.'
- Toggle Bluetooth on.
- Connect to a Wi-Fi or a cellular network.
- Hold the power button on the Apple Watch to turn it on.
- Make sure that both devices have enough battery.
- Move the devices closer to one another to ensure pairing.
Step 2: Pair Your Apple Watch and iPhone
The pairing process should be straightforward. Follow these instructions:
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone XR.
- Press the 'Start Pairing' option. A pairing window should appear on the screen.
- Follow the on-screen instructions closely to pair the devices. You'll need to move the iPhone's camera to the Apple Watch display.
- Once the devices pair, you'll get a notification.
If you fail to pair the devices automatically, you can always use the manual method. It involves a few more steps, but it will ensure that the devices are successfully paired.
- Select the 'i' icon on your Apple Watch screen.
- Check or set a new device name for your watch.
- Select a wrist.
- Hit 'Set Up as New' (or 'Restore from Backup' if you've done this already) on your iPhone.
- Select right or left wrist on your iPhone.
- When prompted, agree to the terms and conditions.
- Enter your Apple ID.
- Allow access to all mandatory apps (Siri, diagnostics, iCloud).
- Set a password for your watch via your iPhone. You can pick between a regular password, long password, or no password at all. If you choose to set a password, you'll need to do it via the Apple Watch.
Once you set everything up, a pop-up window will appear to confirm the setup. After you've done this, your Apple Watch will remain unlocked as long as it's on your wrist. If it's not, you'll have to unlock it again when you put it back on. Also, when you unlock your phone, you'll also unlock the watch.
Step 3: Sync your Apps
When you pair your devices, you may choose to sync all the apps. This way, your watch will download and update all the apps that you already have on your iPhone, albeit in their watch version. If you refuse, you'll be able to install them manually whenever you like.
If you confirm, wait for the devices to sync. It can be a long process, especially if you have plenty of apps on your iPhone. Keep your devices close to each other until the syncing is done.
What If the Devices Won't Connect?
In some instances, the devices may not recognize each other. Usually, a simple restart should help, but there are other solutions you may find useful.
Forget the Apple Watch
If your devices could pair before but suddenly not anymore, you may unpair them and then try again.
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone XR.
- Select the 'My Watch' tab.
- Choose your watch.
- Tap the information ('i' icon) next to that watch.
- Select 'Unpair Apple Watch.'
- Press 'Unpair' again to confirm.
- Restart the iPhone and the pairing should start automatically. Keep both devices close and a notification to set up an Apple Watch should appear.
- Select 'Continue.'
If the message doesn't appear, you can open the Apple Watch app and manually select the 'Start Pairing' option.
Reset Connection Settings
Tweaked network settings can interfere with device pairing, especially automatic software updates which usually override the initial settings. You may try to reset these to default and try to pair the devices again.
- Tap on Settings on your iPhone XR.
- Choose 'General.'
- Tap 'Reset.'
- Find 'Reset Network Settings.'
- Enter your ID and password.
- Confirm the network reset.
Back-Up and Restore
Once you unpair the Apple Watch from your iPhone XR, all the apps and data will be erased. You'll have to start everything from scratch and pair the devices again following the instructions from this article.
However, your iPhone XR will keep a backup of all the Apple Watch data, so if you want to restore it after pairing, you may choose this option too. This way, you'll remain secure if you accidentally unpair your devices.
Did you encounter any problems while pairing these two devices? How did you solve them? Share your experiences in the comments below.


oluble pen
Draw it on the back of the leather,

Given (arbitrarily):
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 100.0f, 30.0f);
What's the difference between the following two code snippets?
 UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
 button.frame = frame;
 UIButton *button = [[[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:frame] autorelease];

I think they're equivalent. Haha! Trick question you sneaky little punk!
 1. -buttonWithType: returns an autoreleased UIButton object.
 2. +[NSObject alloc] defaults scalar instance variables to 0, so buttonType should be 0, or UIButtonTypeCustom.
Pros & Cons
 1. You could argue that it's clearer to use -buttonWithType: and set buttonType explicitly and that it's safer in case Apple changes UIButtonTypeCustom to be 1 instead of 0 (which will most certainly never happen).
 2. On the other hand, you could also argue that it's clear & safe enough to use -initWithFrame. Plus, many of the Xcode sample projects, such as "TheElements" & "BubbleLevel," use this approach. One advantage is that you can explicitly release the UIButton before the run loop for your application's main thread has drained its autorelease pool. And, that's why I prefer option 2.

+1 for internal dialog. – glenstorey Aug 22 '12 at 17:54
"-[NSObject init] defaults scalar instance variables to 0" No, it's actually +alloc that sets instance variables to 0. "so buttonType should be 0" No, this depends on what -[UIButton init] (if there is such a method) does. Sure, it might currently set it to 0 or doesn't set it (in which case it would be 0); but since that method it not documented, they could change its behavior in the future. You have no guarantees on what it does. – user102008 Aug 27 '12 at 21:06
I know this is old but I have noticed you have to use [UIButton buttonWithType:] are your button type never gets set. Also you've written -buttonWithType as an instance method it should be a class method so you need to replace - with +. – Popeye Mar 28 '13 at 15:57
add comment
I would strongly suggest using the first approach (+buttonWithType), because that's the only way to specify the button type.
If you +alloc and -initWithFrame:, the buttonType is set to some standard value (not sure which, and this could change in later versions of the SDK) and you can't change the type afterwards because the buttonType property is read only.

The main (maybe the only) difference is in memory management: as you said, buttonWithType returns an autoreleased UIButton. This way you don't have to worry about releasing it. On the other hand, you don't own it, so you cannot release it when you want to (except, of course, if you drain the autorelease pool).
Calling explicitly [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:frame], instead, you dynamically alloc your button, so you own it and you're responsible for releasing it.
If you plan to retain your button for some reason then maybe you should consider the second solution, but if, as in this case, you are autoreleasing it immediately, there's no big difference between the two way of creating a button...

Two options are the same but I prefer option 2 because it can handle memory management

You can use the first and do "[button retain];", so you will never lose the pointer.

This paper examines the use of a so-called "generalised Hammerstein-Wiener" model structure that is formed as the concatenation of an arbitrary number of Hammerstein systems. The latter are taken here to be memoryless non-linearities followed by linear time invariant dynamics. Hammerstein, Wiener, Hammerstein-Wiener and Wiener-Hammerstein models are all special cases of this structure. The parameter estimation of this model is investigated by using a standard prediction error criterion coupled with a robust gradient based search algorithm. This approach is profiled using the Wiener-Hammerstein system benchmark data, which illustrates it to be effective and, via Monte-Carlo simulation, relatively robust against capture in local minima.
