 How to paper tune your bow
 Paper tuning your bow is not a necessity in order to shoot your bow, however it does ensure that your bow is shooting straight and as accurate as possible. In most cases it even helps to reduce the amount of difference between field points and broadheads.
 Paper tuning is really nothing more than putting a piece of paper between two posts and then shooting your arrow through the paper into a target located just behind the paper. In doing this you are able to see if the arrow is kicking left,right,up or down.
 1. Lets get started what you need to do is to get 2 posts of some type and secure them so that they cannot move. Your going to want the posts to be about the width of the paper your using minus an inch on both sides because your going to need to fasten the paper to the posts.
 *NOTE make sure that the paper is not creased or wrinkled as this will affect the outcome results.* Also make sure the paper is at the height of the arrow being shot because you do not want to be shooting downwards or upwards into the paper as the results will be inaccurate as well..
 2. Alright so now with the posts firmly in place in front of your target and the paper fastened to the posts you are now ready to start shooting. So what we are going to do is go back about 3-5 yards from the posts. Now what your going to do is shoot an arrow into the sheet of paper making sure that your form good so as not to torque the bow.
 3. After the arrow has passed through the page there may or may not be significant tearing. What your going to do next is to go to the paper take on of your hands and put it behind the paper and put the tears back together so that you can see how its tearing. Once you see how it is tearing then you can make the adjustments to your arrow rest. *NOTE the best way that I have found is to work on one problem at a time so work on either horizontal tears or vertical tears*.
 4. Alright so now what we have to do is read the tear and fix the problem. Now the most important part to remember is that you must move your rest in the direction of the tear, so for example if after getting the paper back together you notice that the tear is going to the left then you need to move the rest to the left, if the tear is going in an upward direction then you need to move the rest up etc.
 Now this could take some time as once you move the rest you must continue shooting into the paper until you shoot the arrow through with no tearing and the end result looks as though your looking at the back of an arrow. You need to do this for both for horizontal and vertical tears.
 5. Once you have the arrows going through properly with the flecthings on we need to get a bare arrow(one without fletchings)and go through the same steps. In doing this we can eliminate even the smallest of tears that may have been covered up by the minor tearing from the fletchings on the previous arrow we used.
 The goal of this new arrow is to get it making what looks like bullet holes, the holes should be round with no tearing at all. If this is done than you have successfully paper tuned your bow, this will ensure maximum accuracy and penetration of the arrow.

 The Importance of Paper Tuning your Bow
 Bow tuning is not very commonly practiced by a majority of bowhunters. This is more than likely due to the fact that it is fairly time consuming and does take a bit of knowledge to do. Some archers are under the impression that if they go out and buy the most expensive rest and sight that this will help them to avoid having to tune their bows. Unfortunately it will not work like this.
 It MAY lessen the frequency of tuning you have to do but you will still have to tune your bow. Tuning your bow is just the act of basically moving your rest up/down/left/right so as get your arrow flying out of the bow as smoothly as you can.
 Tuning your bow is not necessary but it is recommended for a few reasons. Tuning your bow not only helps to improve your shooting and reduces the amount of wear to your equipment but also keeps your arrow shooting as straight as possible.
 Now you may be asking yourself does it really make that big of a difference, well let me assure you that it does and could mean the difference between getting your trophy animal and kicking your self in the behind for missing. Let me explain what I mean.
 An arrow that flies from a none tuned bow will most definitely have a wobble in the back of the arrow, now that wobble may not be serious enough to hurt your shot a great deal on a calm day but lets throw some wind in there and you have yourself a huge chance of that wobble becoming worse as it is caught by the wind. The wobble also creates more wind drag that will slow your arrow down causing less penetration.
 An arrow that is shot from a bow that is not tuned has 4 possible outcomes these are that the arrow will either be kicked out so the back of the arrow is pointed down, up, to the right or left. This plays a huge role on how your arrow will fly and how it will hit and enter your target.
 For example if your arrow is kicked out and the back of the arrow is pointing downward the arrow will try to stabilize as much as it can before hitting the target but more times than not when the arrow hits the target the arrow will be going in on an angle, which greatly reduces the penetration of the arrow. Paper tuning makes tuning a bow a whole lot easier and less painful as it serves as a visual aid so that you can see how your arrow is flying from your bow.
 When the arrow goes through the paper if it is not going straight in, it will actually make a tear in the direction that the back of the arrow is pointed. This will take the guessing work out of tuning your bow and cut the time down as well.
 So whether your a competition shooter or a hunter you will benefit greatly by spending an hour or so tuning your bow to guarantee your arrows are flying straight. If you would like to know exactly how to paper tune your bow look in our tutorial section.

Why are sulfates in shampoo bad?
Quick Answer
Sulfates in shampoo are bad because they are known to dry out hair when used frequently. Using shampoos that contain sulfates can lead to dryness, irritation and breakage.
Continue Reading
Full Answer
Sulfate shampoos don't need to be completely eliminated from a person's hair care routine if one is currently being used and its performance is satisfactory. Since sulfates are meant to remove buildup, sometimes sulfate shampoos can be useful; however, their usage should be limited to prevent any dryness, irritation or buildup. If the performance of a sulfate shampoo is unsatisfactory, then switch to a sulfate-free shampoo; this will still remove any buildup but will be milder.

I transposed "you" and "everyday" at the beginning of the sentence. Is that not allowed in a question?
It is alright, but word order does have a subtle effect on the focus and perspective of the speech, which somehow I think we can ignore first at beginner/intermediate stage.
2019-01-21: I used "你每天都几点回家" and it was marked wrong.
Can a native speaker clarify the nuances between using "每天" and "每天都"?
Does "every day" always have to be before "what time"? I flipped those and got it wrong.
Is it always just biggest to smallest increments of time, or is this some other rule?
Why there's no 都 after 每天in this sentence?
Any reason why we can't use 每天都 instead of just 每天 in this sentence?
It is also acceptable. 都 adds emphasis, but it's used quite often.

June 10, 2010 A comparison of hockey leagues in Canada for 11-12 year old players finds that compared with leagues that do not allow body checking, those that do have an associated 3-fold increased risk of game-related injuries, including severe injuries and severe concussions, according to a study in the June 9 issue of JAMA.
"Ice hockey is a popular North American winter sport, with more than 550,000 registered youth players in Hockey Canada and more than 340,000 registered players in the USA Hockey Association in 2008-2009. Despite the advantages of sport participation, there is increasing concern regarding the frequency of ice hockey injuries in youth," the authors write. They add that recent attention has been focused on the increased frequency of concussive head injuries in youth hockey. It is the most common type of specific injury, accounting for more than 15 percent of all injuries in 9- to 16-year-old players, according to background information in the article.
Internationally, there are different regulations regarding the age at which body checking is introduced in ice hockey. In the United States, body checking is introduced in all leagues for the age group 11-12 years, but leagues not permitting body checking exist through all ages, up to the leagues for 15-16 year-olds. In Canada, the youngest age group in which body checking is permitted is Pee Wee (ages 11-12 years). In the province of Quebec, however, Bantam (ages 13-14 years) is the youngest age group in which body checking is permitted.
Carolyn A. Emery, Ph.D., B.Sc.P.T., of the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and colleagues examined whether the risk of concussion and injury differed for youth ice hockey players in a league that permits body checking vs. a league that does not. The study was conducted in Alberta and Quebec during the 2007-2008 Pee Wee ice hockey season and included players (n = 2,154) from teams in the top 60 percent of divisions of play. Among the outcomes measured was the rate for gameand practice-related injuries and concussions.
Seventy-four Pee Wee teams from Alberta (n = 1,108 players) and 76 Pee Wee teams from Quebec (n = 1,046 players) completed the study. There were a total of 241 injuries (78 concussions) reported in Alberta and 91 injuries (23 concussions) reported in Quebec. For game-related injuries, the Alberta vs. Quebec incidence rate ratio (comparison of the risk of injury in the two leagues) was 3.26 (n = 209 and n = 70 for Alberta and Quebec, respectively]) for all injuries; 3.88 (n = 73 and n = 20) for concussion; 3.30 (n = 51 and n = 16) for severe injury (time loss, greater than 7 days); and 3.61 (n = 14 and n = 4) for severe concussion (time loss, greater than 10 days).
"The estimated absolute risk reduction (injuries per 1,000 player-hours) that would be achieved if body checking were not permitted in Alberta was 2.84 for all game-related injuries, 0.72 for severe injuries, 1.08 for concussion, and 0.20 for severe concussion. There was no difference between provinces for practice-related injuries," the authors write.
"Among 11- to 12-year-old ice hockey players, playing in a league in which body checking is permitted compared with a league in which body checking is not permitted was associated with a 3-fold increased risk of all game-related injuries, concussion, severe injury, and severe concussion. These findings may have important implications for policy decisions related to body checking in youth ice hockey. The public health implications associated with injury in Pee Wee hockey in which body checking is permitted are significant."
"Future research should compare the injury and concussion risk in the next age group of play (Bantam, ages 13-14 years), in which players in one cohort will have 2 years of body checking experience prior to Bantam participation. This research can inform the development and rigorous evaluation of prevention strategies to reduce the risk of injury in this population of youth ice hockey participants," the authors conclude.

Bread crumbs or breadcrumbs (regional variants: breading, crispies) are small particles of dry bread, used for breading or crumbing foods, topping casseroles, stuffing poultry, thickening stews, adding inexpensive bulk to meatloaves and similar foods, and making a crisp and crunchy coating for fried foods, especially breaded cutlets like tonkatsu and schnitzel. The Japanese variety of bread crumbs is called panko.
Dry breadcrumbs are made from dry breads which have been baked or toasted to remove most remaining moisture, and may even have a sandy or even powdery texture. Bread crumbs are most easily produced by pulverizing slices of bread in a food processor, using a steel blade to make coarse crumbs, or a grating blade to make fine crumbs. A grater or similar tool will also do.
The breads used to make soft or fresh bread crumbs are not quite as dry, so the crumbs are larger and produce a softer coating, crust, or stuffing. The crumb of bread crumb is also a term that refers to the texture of the soft, inner part of a bread loaf, as distinguished from the crust, or "skin".
Different from croutons
They are not to be confused with croutons, though both are made of dried bread. Croutons are approximately cubic pieces typically 0.5 to 8 cubic centimeters in size while breadcrumbs are irregularly shaped and range in size from roughly 1 to 500 cubic millimeters. Both probably originated as a way to use stale bread and unwanted crust.
Panko (パン粉) is a variety of flaky bread crumb used in Japanese cuisine as a crunchy coating for fried foods, such as tonkatsu. Panko is made from bread baked by passing an electric current through the dough, yielding bread without crusts. It has a crisper, more airy texture than most types of breading found in Western cuisine and resists absorbing oil or grease when fried, resulting in a lighter coating. White panko is made from bread which has had the crusts removed while tan "panko" is made from the whole loaf of bread. Outside Japan, its use is becoming more popular in both Asian and non-Asian dishes: It is often used on fish and seafood and is often available in Asian markets, specialty stores, and, increasingly, in many large supermarkets.
Panko is produced worldwide, particularly in Asian countries, including Japan, Korea, Thailand, China, and Vietnam.In February 2012, the US fast-food chain Wendy's introduced a cod fillet sandwich that they advertised as having a panko breading.
The Japanese first learned to make bread from the Portuguese: The word panko is derived from pão (Portuguese for "bread") and -ko, a Japanese suffix indicating "flour", "crumb", or "powder" (as in komeko, "rice powder", sobako, "buckwheat flour", and komugiko, "wheat flour").
Breading (also known as crumbing) is a dry grain-derived food coating for a piece of food such as meat, vegetable, poultry, fish, shellfish, crustacean, seitan, or textured soy, made from bread crumbs or a breading mixture with seasonings. Breading can also refer to the process of applying a bread-like coating to a food. Breading is well suited for frying as it lends itself to creating a crisp coating around the food. Breading mixtures can be made of breadcrumb, flour, cornmeal, and seasoning that the item to be breaded is dredged in before cooking. If the item to be breaded is too dry for the coating to stick, the item may first be moistened with buttermilk, raw egg, or other liquid.
Breading contrasts with batter, which is a grain-based liquid coating for food that produces a smoother and finer texture, but which can be softer overall.

Argent falls into the categories of both "surnames as first names" and "word names," though they share the same source: the Old (and Modern) French argent "silver."
Silver's association with the moon goes back to ancient times. It has long been believed to enhance the power of the moon, capable of forging a strong link between the the physical and metaphysical worlds.
The surname probably arose as a nickname for someone with silver hair, while the word has been used in the past as a noun (for a silver coin) and an adjective.
Nowadays, it is mostly confined to heraldry, where it is used of both silver and white in coats of arms.
The Old French word came from the Latin for silver argentum, which gives us the chemical symbol for silver — Ag.
It is cognate with the Welsh arian "silver" — which is still used to mean "money" in Welsh — which is found in more than one Welsh name, such as Arianwen, which combines it with gwyn "white," "pure," and "blessed," and Arianell, which combines it with gell "yellow," and "shining."
It may also feature in the name of the Goddess Arianrhod — which is popularly interpreted as meaning "silver wheel" and a reference to the moon.
Caer Arianrhod is the Welsh name for the Milky Way.
The Common Celtic word from which arian derived was *arganto-, and the "g" is preserved in the medieval name Argante — used by Layamon in the twelfth century epic poem Brut as the name of the Queen of Avalon.
She is usually identified with Morgan le Fay, and there are those who argue that the name derives from an older form of Arianrhod.
Another old form is Eraint, which features in the epithet of the mythical Welsh figure Lludd Llaw Eraint "Lludd of the Silver Hand."
This form also happens to demonstrate well the etymological relation between arian and the Modern Welsh Eirian "shining."
Meanwhile, its Sanskrit cognate is Arjuna, a name borne by a hero of the epic Mahabharata. The modern Hindi form of the name is Arjun.
Argent itself is first found as a given name as early as the sixteenth century, interestingly enough as a girl's name. This probably represented a simpler form of Argentea, which was taken directly from the Latin argenteus meaning "silvery" and "of silver."
By the nineteenth century, it is more commonly found as a boy's name, often as a middle name, indicative that the surname was now the principal source.
Today, Argent is a rarity. It has never reached the top 1000 in America, and only even appears in the data at all on one occasion, in 1926, when five girls were given the name.
Bursting as it is with heritage and meaning, I think it makes for a great unusual and contemporary choice for a boy or a girl. What do you think?


Shaping Your Flower Arrangement – The 6 Basic Shapes
Flower Arranging expert Louise Larabie shares her tips on the basic of a good flower arrangement with Dot Com Women. For any successful flower arrangement, a well-balanced shape and a proper balance and proportion are the most essential steps. Here are Louise's insider tips on how to shape your arrangements as well as her guidelines for bringing the perfect proportion to any flower arrangement.
These are the 6 basic flower arrangement shapes that are the easiest to start with.
1. Arc Shape
Arc shaped Flower Arrangement
2. Circle Shape
circle shape
3. Curve Shape
4. Right Angle Shape
right triangle
5. 'S' Curve Shape
S curve
6. Triangular Shape
Each of these arrangements is a combination of good proportion and balance.
All good flower arrangements have 'pleasing proportions' which means it looks comfortable within the size, shape and style of container.
If you are showing a single perfect bloom in a bud vase then you can disregard all but the first rule.
These are the basic rules for good flower arranging:
 1. Low arrangements should be a little wider than their container.Tall arrangements should be 1 1/2 to 2 times taller than their container.
 2. If your arrangement has a theme choose or make a container big enough to hold your arrangement.
 3. Put enough oasis in the base to fill it up level with the top of the container. Cut off any that goes above the lip of the container.
 4. Imagine an invisible outline of the shape you want to create and chose which side will be the front of your arrangement.
 5. Choose your tallest and widest flowers and arrange them in your container first within the outline of your chosen shape.
 6. Fill in around the base and lower part of the arrangement with more large blooms.
 7. Working up and outward user smaller blooms or filler to fill in the arrangement.
 8. Use the smallest blooms, foliage and filler to hide stems, oasis and the edge of container.
There are 2 kinds of balance; asymmetrical where the 2 sides don't match but appear to have equal weight or strength to our eyes and symmetrical where the 2 sides are nearly identical.
If your arrangement looks like it's about to tip over then, visually, it isn't properly balanced.
Good balance can be achieved following a few simple rules:
 1. The bottom half of the arrangement should be BIG enough to support the weight of the top.
 2. The left side should have the same amount of interest as the right side.
 3. Leave a little more s p a c e around anything you want to stand out.
 4. Keep it simple. Don't overd esign your arrangement: too many types of flowers will look messy.
Remember how well-balanced plants look in the garden all by themselves? They could be an inspiration for your arrangements.
Flower arranging and Art books have lots of information about balance, proportion and scale. They can give you lots of great ideas, too.

Kellogg Professor Neal Roese finds that decisions about love inspire more regret than those related to work
2/9/2012 - It's a story as old as time — having to make a decision about work or love, and being terrified to make the wrong choice.
A new study by Marketing Professor Neal Roese
and his colleagues may offer some guidance to those facing such decisions. They found that regrets related to love are more intense than those involving work.
In a previous study
, Roese found that romantic regrets are among the most common type of regret among Americans. His new study, with lead author Mike Morrison of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Kai Epstude of the University of Groningen, goes one step further and underscores the impact of social relationships.
"Social relationships, we suggest, are the most pivotal component of life regrets. Failed marriages, turbulent romances, and lost time with family may elicit regrets that last a lifetime," Roese and his colleagues write.
Romantic regrets are intense because regrets of a social nature pose a threat to a person's need to belong.
"Belonging, as a core human motive, powerfully connects to well-being and mental health," the authors write.
The paper describes five experiments, the results of which all suggest that love or other decisions of a social nature, such as ending a relationship or being unfaithful, are more intense than those involving work or less-social decisions, such a dropping out of college or quitting a job. Roese and his co-authors found that:
- Regrets involving romance or family ("love regrets") were consistently rated as more intense than education or career regrets ("work regrets").
- In the studies that compared highand low-intensity regrets, love regrets were far more common than work regrets in the high-intensity category, sometimes outnumbering work regrets by more than 2 to 1 (56.4 percent to 19.9 percent).
- On balance, low-intensity regrets were equally likely to focus on love and work regrets.
- People rated their love and work regrets to be almost identical in terms of self-blame and importance. However, romantic regrets rated much higher when it came to social impact and threats to feelings of belonging.
"What our research makes clear is that, while regrets are multifaceted with diverse consequences, their social impact looms especially large," the authors wrote. "Regrets can stem from love or work, but those stemming from the former seem to be the toughest to overcome. The need to belong is not just a fundamental human motive but a fundamental component of regret."
The study, "Life Regrets and the Need to Belong," will be published in an upcoming issue of Social Psychological and Personality Science.

Common Floor Cheers for Cheerleading
Floor cheers for cheerleading are a major part of riling up a crowd during any sports event. These cheers are practiced on cheerleading mats and then used at the game on the sidelines, especially when the game gets so noisy that regular cheers can't be heard.
The Basics Of Floor Cheers
Floor cheers are choreographed with rhythmic claps, stomps and beats. Since they rely so much on stomping and beating on a hard surface, they are mainly used at basketball games, where they have the most impact thanks to the basketball floor.
Many different types of floor cheers can be performed during breaks in the action of a game. While people often think of floor cheers as large routines that are done in the middle of the court or field, some floor cheers take as little as 30 seconds to perform on the sidelines. Floor cheers are designed to fit wherever they need to during the course of the game, so the head cheerleader is prepped with a variety of different cheers of different lengths. She pays attention to the game so she knows what type of cheer to use and when.
Standing Floor Cheers
Many cheers are done while the cheerleaders are standing in a line in front of the bleachers. They perform a series of stomps and claps, along with a chant that can be echoed by the crowd. The cheerleaders will normally move in unison during a standing floor cheer, but they might add in some acrobatic moves toward the end of the cheer, like toe touches, depending on how long the cheerleaders have to complete the cheer.
Sitting Floor Cheers
Cheerleaders all sit together in a line in between the game and the crowd. The sit with their knees pointed in the same direction, also called pinwheel seating. Once the cheerleaders are seated, they all wait for the captain to start the cheer by saying "Ready, Okay." They use their hands and feet to create a rhythm on the floor. The stomps and claps can be heard even above the din of the game and the roars of the crowd, which make them a perfect fit for basketball games. They also give the cheerleaders a break to rest while still keeping the spirit of the game up.

Touch Sensitive Textiles
Touch-responsive textiles are sensors and interface systems.
Strain-sensitive electrically conductive textiles use functionalised graphene to allow real time monitoring of changes in stress, strain and pressure. When used in clothing, physical effort and wellbeing can be monitored. In structural health monitoring of civil engineering structures, such as roads, buildings and dams, maintenance costs can be reduced and data capture enriched.
Textiles that respond to touch can be developed for smart clothing that will interface with external systems. Touch-sensitive areas of clothing take the convergence of electronics and clothing beyond the current 'wearables' trend into the next phase of intelligent, self-reporting high value.clothing.

Types of Bonds
The bricks being uniform in size can be arranged in a variety of ways. The following are the various types of bonds used in brick masonry :
In this type of Bond all the bricks are laid as stretchers, that is length wise, as shown in Fig. 2.29. This bond is used-in half brick thick walls.
In this bond, all the bricks are laid all headers. The elevation of the wall laid in header bond is shown in Fig. 2.30. This bond is used for curved surfaces in work such as well lining or well foundation etc.
This is the most common and popular bond and is used in most of the structures. The English bond consists of alternate layers of headers and stretchers. That is to say, one layer will be of stretchers and the other layer of headers.
The following are main features of English bond :
- The alternate courses are of headers and stretchers.
- Each alternate header is centrally supported over a stretcher.
- If the thickness of a wall is an uneven or odd number of half bricks, there will be best stretchers on the face and headers on the back, similarly headers on the face and stretchers on the back of the wall in every course.
- If the thickness of the wall is an even number of half bricks, there will be stretchers on the face and stretchers on the back ; similarly, headers on the face and headers on the back every course of the wall.
- The walls having a thickness of two bricks or more will have stretchers or headers on the face and back of the wall whereas the interior will be filled with header only.
Arrangement of Bricks in English Bond
Two, one brick thick walls meeting at right angles at the corner. Fig. 2.32.
Two one and a half brick walls meeting at right the corner. Fig. 2.33
Two, two bricks thick walls meeting at right angles at the corner. Fig. 2.34
Two walls, one brick thick and one and a half brick thick, meeting at right angles at the centre (T-junction). Fig. 2.37.
Two brick and one and a half brick T-junction, (e) Two, one and a half brick thick walls crossing each other at right angles. Fig. 2.39.
In this type of bond, each course consists of header and structures alternately arranged. The Flemish bond as of two types, viz, Single Flemish and Double Flemish, The single Flemish bond consists of Flemish bond on the face of the wall and English bond on the back of the wall. Whereas the double Flemish bond consists of Flemish bond on the face as well as on the back of the wall.
Flemish bond admits the use of greater number of brick bats and hence it is economical. But English bond is stronger than Flemish bond. It is also claimed that Flemish bond is better in appearance than the English bond.
It is a modification over the English bond and consists of alternate courses of headers and stretchers, except that every stretcher course starts with a three-quarter brick and in every alternate stretcher course in header is placed after the three quarter brick as shown in Fig. 2.46.
The walls which are more than two-brick thick will become weaker in longitudinal strength, as the headers being used in the interior of the wall to increase the transverse strength. This defect is removed by using raking bond (rake means inclination). In this bond the bricks are laid at some inclination to the face of the wall.
There are two varieties of raking bond, Diagonal bond and Herring bone bond.
(i) Diagonal bond.
This type of bond is employed in walls, which are 2 to 4 thick. In this bond, the face bricks are first laid and then the bricks are laid diagonally. The inclination of the bricks should be so adjusted that the bricks may be filled without cut ting.
(ii) Herring bone bond.
This bond is best suited for walls which are at least 4 bricks thick. In this case, the bricks are laid at an angle of 45° in both directions, commencing from the center line as shown in Fig. 2.47.
Raking bond pattern of laying bricks is also sometimes used for laying bricks on the floors.
Garden Wall Bond.
There are two types of garden wall bond viz. English Garden Bond and Flemish Garden Bond. In the English garden bond, one course of headers is used after every three to four courses of stretchers, whereas in the Flemish garden bond, in each course one header is used after every three or four stretchers
This bond is used when the bricks for the face work are costlier than the other bricks and as such the number of face bricks is economized by using more stretchers. This bond is also used when the thickness of the face and back bricks is different. There are a number of stretcher courses followed by header courses. The thickness of stretcher courses should be multiple of the thickness of thinner bricks. For example, the thickness of face bricks is 5 cm and that of back bricks in 3 cm. Then after three courses of face bricks and five courses of back bricks the height of face and back bricks will become the same. Now at this height header course should be provided.


How Does Fatigue Affect Your Kicking Performance?
By |2020-10-28T08:58:30-05:00October 28th, 2020|Fatigue, Kicking Performance, Lifestyle, Overuse, Soccer|
Fatigue can be considered as a contributing factor for reduced coordination and response time in soccer athletes (8, 11, 13). Generally, the negative effects of fatigue are shown in athlete's decline in muscle strength ability and shifts in coordination (8, 9, 14). These negative changes can impact an athlete's kicking performance (5) and can be costly to both the individual and their team. Several studies have suggested fatigue negatively impacts kicking ball velocity (3, 4, 8, 15). However, other studies have shown conflicting results. A 2009 study found after a simulated match play intervention, athletes showed no changes in kicking [...]

If I got
Dim myRect As Rectangle = New Rectangle(0,0,100,100)
Is it necessary or just fine to later do this:
myRect = Nothing
Or it isn't necessary? Thank you.
IF it is necessary, are there other cases it isn't for my variables?

In general, as Joel said, it's unnecessary.
In your specific example, though, it is actually pointless. Rectangle is a value type, so setting it to Nothing is not even affecting an object's reference count; it's assigning a new value (the default value for Rectangle) to your myRect variable. This is analogous to having an Integer variable and setting it to 0 at the end of a method. Doesn't buy you anything.
I should point out that the claim "Setting any variable to Nothing [or null in C#] never accomplishes anything"* is a myth. It is entirely possible that you may have a field in a class which you might as well set to null if the object referenced is no longer needed but you still have a reference to the class instance itself.
As a simplistic example, suppose you had some container class which wraps a T[] array, and you give this container an Empty method. It might make sense to set the container's internal array to null in this method, which would result in zero references to the array object, qualifying it for garbage collection. (You would then create a new array when external code next tried to add a T to the collection.) If you did not set the field to null on Empty, then there would still be a reference to the array (i.e., the field), and so that would be a small amount of memory being used that you really don't need.
Like I said, that's a simplistic example. And honestly, it's rare that you ever need to consider scenarios like that. I just thought I would mention it so that you don't get the wrong impression that setting a field to Nothing literally never accomplishes anything.
*I'm not actually quoting anyone specific here; this is just an over-generalization I've heard stated more than once.

What if it was an Image type variable? – Just Kidding Jan 27 '11 at 19:44
_USER_: Then Joel's answer applies (Image is a reference type). Setting it to null per se is not really valuable. On the other hand, Image implements IDisposable so you should take care to dispose of it properly (by calling Dispose or, better, wrapping the variable in a using block outside of which you no longer need it). – Dan Tao Jan 27 '11 at 19:46
Thanks then! :D – Just Kidding Jan 27 '11 at 19:50

Don't do it. This was important to do in the vb6 days, but for.Net it's possible (though very unlikely) for it to actually throw the garbage collector off and have other unexpected side effects.

How to Keep Your Tribal Tattoo Black
Getty Images/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
The deep black of the ink, coupled with the design, makes tribal tattoos very striking. Over time, the tattoos fade and the blacks become more gray. This is because of several factors including sun exposure, how well the tattoo healed and the natural tendency for some inks to leach out of the skin. Taking proper care with your tattoos -- during the healing process, and long after -- can help you keep your tribal tattoos black longer.
Cover a brand new tattoo with a bandage for the first week. Wash the area, daily, with soap and water to prevent infection. An infection can cause the ink to leach out of your skin, creating holes and faded areas in the design.
Apply an antibiotic ointment immediately if the area becomes infected. Avoid alcohol or peroxide, both of which can bleach the ink or cause the ink to leach out of your skin. The faster you treat an infection, the more likely you can save the design.
Wear sunscreen over the tattoo after it heals, and avoid exposing the design to direct sunlight as much as possible. Sunlight will cause the ink to fade.
Get a touch-up from a professional tattoo artist. Taking precautions will slow down the process, but the ink will still fade over time. A professional tattoo artist can go over the tattoo and color in the faded areas.

Through a pipe of diameter 16cm, water is pumped from the Colorado River up to Grand Canyon Village, on the rim of the canyon. The river is at 564m elevation and the village is at 2096m elevation.
a) At what minimum pressure must the water be pumped to arrive at the village? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^3
b)If 4800m^3 are pumped per day, what is the speed of water in the pipe?
c) What additional pressure is necessary to deliver this flow? You may assume that the free-fall acceleration and the density for air are constant over this range of elevations.
a) (density)*g*(elevation change)
= 1.00*10^3 kg/m^3*9.8 m/s^2*1532 m = 15.0*10^6 Pascals
That is about 150 atmospheres.
b) Velocity = (Volume flow rate)/Area
c) Add (1/2)*(density)*V^2 dynamic pressure to the answer in (a)
The density here is the density of water. Air has a neglible effect on the difference between inlet and outlet pressure

Adobe InDesign: Removing Unwanted Spaces, Fast!
By Barb Binder, Adobe Certified Instructor on InDesign
Updated April 22, 2016
Too many extra spaces in your InDesign documents? No problem. You can quickly and (painlessly) remove extra spaces by running one or more Find/Change queries. The three I am going to show you are using GREP, which uses patterns instead of actual character strings to locate and fix issues in InDesign documents.
 1. Place all your files into the InDesign document. (I place stories on the Pasteboard when I'm not ready to place them on the actual pages.)
 2. Choose Type > Show Hidden Characters so that you can see the non-printing characters.
 Adobe InDesign: Example of extra spacing.
 3. Chose Edit > Find/Change.
 4. Drop down the Query list on the top line and run each of these queries with the Search parameter set to Document (to search all the stories in the InDesign document):
 1. Multiple Space to Single Space. Instead of running a series of searches to weed out all extra spaces, just pick this one preset. The Find What line looks a little scary, so just don't look too closely. If you simply can't look away, understand that it's a string of GREP characters that looks for two or more spaces (i.e., em spaces, en spaces, flush spaces, hairspaces, etc.) and replaces all of those with one spacebar space. Hit Change All and poof! All extra spaces are gone.
 Adobe InDesign CC: Removing Extra Spaces
 2. Multiple Returns to Single Return. Another preset, this one pulls out all two or more hard returns and replaces with one.
 Adobe InDesign CC: Removing Extra Spaces
 3. Remove Trailing Whitespace. Trailing whitespace refers to one or more spaces, tabs or extra returns at the end of a paragraph, between the final punctuation and the hard return(s). When it's just a single space, most of the time they don't cause any problems, but sometimes they won't fit on the same line as the punctuation and they force a new line or even a new page. For long documents, this can be a real nightmare. This query also picks up the double returns and even multiple spaces (but only when the spaces are at the end of a paragraph) so I tend to run this one first.
 Adobe InDesign CC: Removing Extra Spaces
 Adobe InDesign: Extra spacing removed.
For more information and a list of GREP characters, see InDesign Help / Find/Change.

 1. Hello,
 To complete this interesting post, we can remove unwanted spaces between double characteres as parenthesis, braces, brackets, etc. with a lookbehind and a lookahead :
 In this example, the lookbehind (?<=) looks, in a character class [ ], for an open parenthesis or an open bracket or an open brace followed by one or more spaces. The lookahead (?=) looks for closes characteres preceded by one or more spaces.
 2. Hi Mrolfer: the GREP strings in all three examples are shown as screen shots under the instructions. If you can't see them for some reason, you can access all three by opening up the Find/change dialog box in InDesign CS3 or CS4. ~Barb
 3. WOW, what a relief to find such a piece of information while you ere desperately looking for it!
 Thanks Barb
 4. Is it possible to find all "tabs" and replace with no space? Actually more specifically, I have two tabs in each line of text. The first tab I would like to replace with no space. The second tab I would like to replace with one space.
 I really appreciate anyone's incredible knowledge if you have a solution for this as my document has 10751 tabs. 😮
 1. Hi Donetta:
 How about searching for two consecutive tabs, and replacing with a single space? Here's how to set it up in InDesign:
 Find what: ^t^t
 Change to: (press the spacebar once)
 5. Love this really, really helpful thanks so much!
 I have a question though. Almost ever time I receive a manuscript from a client, they seem to have manually indented their paragraphs by adding a couple of spaces at the beginning of each one. Is there any quick and simple way to remove these? That way I can use paragraph styles for proper and consistent indentation.
 1. Excellent point, Antony. InDesign has a query for removing trailing whitespace, but not leading whitespace.
 There are several ways to do this. Here are two easy ones:
 After you run the "Multiple Space to Single Space" query, create one additional text query:
 Find what: ^p(press the spacebar once)
 Change to: ^p
 This will find the one remaining space at the beginning of a paragraph, and will replace it with a hard return.
 Or, you can just create a GREP query:
 Find what: $s+
 Change to: r
 In either case, save the query as "Remove Leading Whitespace" so that you can just run it in the future.
 6. I have been in despair with customer's word documents. Instructions on hard returns and soft returns met with blank incomprehension and still I receive files that almost bring me to tears. Line after line of deleting spaces – on and on.
 Your grep instruction has been such a godsend to me, I don't know how I found myself on your site, but if you ever brought out a grep app I would pay good money for it. Thank you so much. I can now say "bring it on…bring on your awful word docs"
 BTW have you got any instructions for removing the spaces in lines, when the customer doesn't know how to tab, so does space-space-space-space?
 1. Hi Elizabeth:
 If the typists are randomly adding the extra spaces mid-paragraph, use the Multiple Space to Single Space GREP query. If they are using spaces between columns that should be tabbed, then search for multiple spaces, and replace with a tab. Cycle back and replace multiple tabs with a single tab. But that's going to require that you look at each table closely as you update, as the chances for problems are much greater than within paragraphs. Here's a spot where I'd step in and try to help them prepare the tables correctly before turning them over to me. Good luck!
 1. Hello,
 I have one problem in indesign paragraph related. When i add new formatting like bold/color in some words, it add leading some blank characters. so extra spaces add in new bold/ color words. How can i remove it.
 Thanks in advance.
 7. thanks SO much. your directions were clear and easy to follow AND you saved me a TON of time!
 8. I have been formatting a 400+ page book that I have written and I am sending it to the printer next week. I have struggled with a number of these issues as I originally wrote the book in Word. I ran the Remove Trailing Whitespace GREP and after I did it, InDesign would no longer output to PDF. It turns out that something corrupted one of my tables when I ran the GREP and clicked change all. I began to output the document several pages at a time and located two offending pages. I was able to rebuild the tables and everything is great now.
 I just did the Remove Leading Whitespace and Parenthetical White Space and did the changes manually and it worked awesome!
 I finished writing the book in April and it has taken me until November to get it all edited and formatted and create the images and cover. I never dreamed that this part of the process would be so time intensive!!!
 I am a dentist and a part time writer and I have come to realize that you professional folks are worth your weight in gold!
 Thanks so much for taking the time to share these tidbits, they are a Godsend!!
 9. I design books and often the authors put a tab at the beginning of their paragraphs. I need to removed them using GREP but don't remember how. Can you help?
 1. You don't need GREP for that. Just do a regular text Find/Change:
 Find: ^p^t
 Change: ^p
 This tells InDesign to search for any tab character following a ¶, remove the tab and leave the ¶.
 1. Hi Cade:
 Choose Edit > Find/Change
 Choose the GREP tab at the top of the dialog box
 Find: ^\s
 Change: [leave blank]
 10. Thanks, been thinking I needed to create a GREP for this but clearly this was there the whole time. Saves from doing the old-fashioned find and replace.
 11. Life saver, I tell my copy guy not to double space anymore your not using a typewriter. But old habits are hard to break. Thank you so much this is so awesome.

A group of Native Americans recently gathered at Lock 60 in Mont Clare to offer prayers in a drumming circle for the safe journey of the Mother Earth Water Walkers 2013. The walkers began a journey along the Mississippi River March 1 and will be travelling 1,200 miles, ending April 30 at the Gulf of Mexico.
The 1st Annual Women's Water Walk took place April 2003. Several women from different clans came together to raise awareness that our clean and clear water is being polluted by chemicals, vehicle emissions, motor boats, sewage disposal, agricultural pollution, leaking landfill sites, and residential usage is taking a toll on our water quality. Water is precious and sacred...it is one of the basic elements needed for all life to exist.
The Annual Women's Water Walk was chosen for Spring because for the natural re-growth of our natural habitat, as it is a in time for renewal, re-growth, and re-birth.

Scaling Bitcoin workshop : Hong Kong 2015
Why miners will not voluntarily individually produce smaller blocks
Marginal cost is very low.
In about 2011, people started discussing the idea of needing an artificial cap for a block size limit to kind of kick up the transaction fees. The orphan risk is a marginal cost the larger the block, the higher the chance of an orphan.
Now I've got some issues why orphan risk may not be so great. As technology improves, over time the technology cost of orphaning gets lower and lower, so you are relying on driving miner revenue or fees, would become less relevant. I also think that orphans just by nature are kind of bad, and the aim of the system is to prevent orphans. Another reason is that orphan risk in general, the larger you are, the larger your mining operation, you don't need to propagate to yourself. This incentivizes mining centralization, because a smaller mine rwould have to propagate to a larger portion of the network.
The defense that people give to the orphan risk idea is that, orphan risk is not a great concern and it's jus tanother cost to miner like rent and salary and electricity, and the Chinese already have a capacity advantage, so all we're doing is adding one more cost, which just increases decentralization because Chinese already have the lead here. But orphan risk is quite unique. With these other cost, it's economies of scale that could run out. If you have low energy cost, if you are near hydrothermal or something, you will use up that capacity eventually. Orphan risk is lower for larger miners and this is an inherent property of the system and might always encourage centralization. With the other costs, we hope that the impact eventually runs out, but orphan risk might not.
And then there's the question of how does marginal orphan risk vary when the block size varies? As the block size increases, does the oprhan risk go higher and higher? Whatever happens, you're always going to be in a bad scenario. This is an illustration of the graph. The dark green line is the marginal orphan risk cost. The yellow line below it is the average orphan risk cost. You have the other two lines, are the fees or the demand curve. This seems that miners keep producing blocks up to the point where marginal orphan risk equals the marginal transaction fee. You can see the red area is the total orphan risk. And the yellow area is the total average transaction fee. In this exponential scenario, the red area is a large portion of total revenue. What is total margin risk? Total orphan risk relative to miner fee revenue? If I was to draw this line where there was a linear relationship to block size and marginal orphan rate, then it would actually say 100% of miner revenue would be equal to the economic value of orphan risk. I think this is quite potentially dangerous, or potentially dangerous to rely on orphan risk to drive the fee market.
A very common question is why don't miners voluntarily produce smaller blocks? Why does a fee limit matter? Miners will just produce smaller blocks. This was discussed in 2011. Each individual miner wants to generate as much cash as possible. They will include as many transactions as possible. One is to look at the whole mining industry as a whole, maybe the mining industry will produce smaller blocks to produce and protect the Bitcoin industry. The incentives for each individual miner is they want to generate as large blocks as possible. A lot of people don't agree, they think this is too theoretical, it's unproven game theory, the focus is too much on the local and not the longer-term. I think this tragedy of the commons problem we can see today in the commodities markets. If you look at iron ore, the miners keep producing more and more, and the price keeps falling of iron ore. It's a benefit to the industry for the miners to cut production, and for price to rise, but the game theory doesn't work out like that. They each produce as much as possible to generate as much cash as they can. They never voluntarily reduce production. They keep producing as much as they can, to produce cashflow to ensure their survival.
This is probably fine in most commodity markets. But in bitcoin, we always need a healthy mining network. There's a spectrum of how miners think. One group of people would say that miners care about long-term interests of the system, and they are playing a game of Life. But the other end of the spectrum is that miners care more about short-term profit optimization. But the reality is that nobody is right here, there's a whole spectrum of mining priorities.
If the miners care more about long-term interests of the system, then maybe they wont include big blocks. We need to be aware of how miner incentives change. We need to build a robust economic system across the system. At the moment, everyone is collaborating. There is a risk that this will change in the future. Because of this risk, we need to realize that people could become very selfish and care only about the next block.
Now I am going to talk about bip100 and why it might solve some of these issues. Under bip100, miners must vote for the block size they want. Rational miners should vote to maximize their revenue. Some might care about long-term revenue, and some about short-term revenue. Revenue is block reward exchange rate + transaction volume average fee * exchange rate. Miners would vote in a balanced way, so at the moment people are debating the relative importance of the fee level or the transaction level or exchange rate, bip100 would be where miners dynamically vote in a balanced way to reflect these competing priorities. They will make their decision based on expected elasticity of their supply curve. The supply curve would be a straight curve, and miners would vote to move it back left or right, and the ywould try to maximize their fee revenue. This is quite contentious because most people don't like this straight vertical line, because it implies that the... whereas other people think there's always excess capacity. I don't think we should make a decision now. What we need to do is just keep our options open. Don't adopt a scaling proposal that locks us into constantly increasing block size. I don't think we have enough information now to find a right or wrong answer, we should keep an open mind, or adopt a proposal that allows us to go in either direction.
A common criticism of bip100 is that bip100 is a cartel. I admit it does have characteristics similar to a cartel. It enables cartel-like pricing. It's like an open framework that allows miners to decide on the block size limit in a transparent way. I think it's a good idea because I think miners would form a cartel anyway, to restrict supply space in blocks anyway, and drive up transaction fee prices. bip100 could prevent the actual cartel from forming perhaps.
Another proposal I have is that we need to recognize the difference between an increase in the limit, and a decrease in the limit. A majority of miners can impose a decrease in the limit anyway without the need for a hard-fork or any change, because 55% of the miners or whatever can always reject any block larger than some amount. This is why I think these voting mechanisms should reflect this. I think there's a proposal that requires 80% to decrease the limit, whereas I think it should always be 50%. If 79% vote for a limit reduction, this sort of advertises that 79% want it down, and this will serve as a catalyst for cartel formation anyway. If 79% can just reduce the limit, then they can ignore the voting mechanism and undermine it through forming a cartel. So I think the voting mechanisms should be designed in a way to keep this in mind, and discourage cartel creation.
I am not claiming that bip100 is perfect. It has a lot of problems. The block size limit would be sub-optimal. It's very difficult to say because the utility is kind of subjective anyway. I like bip100 from an economics perspective, there are far better technical experts than me that we can't increase the limit, I am in favor of upper and lower bounds.
There are no perfect solutions, and we need to be pragmatic and work together and be willing to compromise and accept something we don't like, because there's a lot of pressure. I think there are good proposals out there. BIP100, BIP102 and BIP103 seem like somewhat reasonable interim solutions. Thank you very much, and I'll take questions.
Q: I had an idea that I wanted to hear your take on. Rather than creating a block size changing as a way for miners to change the supply for block space, why not use miner policy, a non-fork related aspect, to control the minimum price available, so basically putting a fee floor for inclusion of transactions into blocks? What do you think? The idea is to use altruistic punishment in order to enforce the fee floor. Miners could set a certain percentage of their hashpower to intentionally orphan miners who break that. I'm not sure if I like this.
A: It's interesting. I've thought about it for a bit. I think that people already don't like bip100 because they feel they are putting the miners in control. Having a fee floor kind of manipulates the market even more and is liable to make people even less happy. That is effectively a mining cartel, and we want to avoid that as possible.
Q: collective bargaining.
Q: I've noticed that some miners have credibly said tha the 1 MB limit is already straining the network quite significantly. What do you think is the prudent approach, since we're talking about scaling the network, however proposals have suggested it might be prudent to go and wait and see. Do you think the


Definition - What does Anaerobic mean?
Anaerobic refers to a type of environment that consists of a partial or complete lack of oxygen. It may also refer to a type of corrosion that occurs in the presence of anoxic water.
Corrosionpedia explains Anaerobic
Anaerobic corrosion is most readily observed when a metal is placed or used in an environment with a high concentration of bacteria. These bacteria can survive in areas without oxygen and force metal degradation and/or corrosion via the microorganism's activity. Such a mechanism is primarily observed in the presence of anoxic water.
A major type of anaerobic corrosion is hydrogen corrosion, which involves a redox reaction that reduces hydrogen ions to form molecular hydrogen.

How to configure replication in orientdb?
How to configure replication in orientdb, featured image
Start by downloading orientdb on the servers, where replication is to be configured. It can be gotten from orientdb, or for example by using wget, as in :
$ wget
Next extract orientdb, by using tar, as in tar -xzf orientdb-version.tar.gz, and go into the bin directory of the extracted folder, which is more or less related to orientdb execution, by using the cd command, as in cd orientdb-3.1.10/bin, and execute./.
The script, starts orientdb in distributed mode. The reason that this script is first ran, is for orientdb to generate a password, and a name for each node, where the script is to be ran. Choose meaningful name, as in location1, location2...
| WARNING: FIRST RUN CONFIGURATION |
| This is the first time the server is running. Please type a |
| password of your choice for the 'root' user or leave it blank |
| to auto-generate it. |
| |
| To avoid this message set the environment variable or JVM |
| setting ORIENTDB_ROOT_PASSWORD to the root password to use. |
Root password [BLANK=auto generate it]: ***********
Please confirm the root password: ***********
| This is the first time that the server is running as |
| distributed. Please type the name you want to assign to the |
| current server node. |
| |
| To avoid this message set the environment variable or JVM |
| setting ORIENTDB_NODE_NAME to the server node name to use. |
Node name [BLANK=auto generate it]: development
# You can after that hit ctrl-c to stop
# orientdb, or you can also execute the
# script ./ in orientdb
# bin directory, to shut down
# orientdb.
Orientdb recommends 4 GB of ram, for the distributed mode, but if memory is an issue, it can be configured by editing the script orientdb-version/bin/, for example by using nano and ctrl-w, to search for the memory settings, which should be as follows :
# Excerpt from bin/
# ORIENTDB memory options, default to 4GB of heap.
if [ -z "$ORIENTDB_OPTS_MEMORY" ] ; then
# Xms is the start memory, and Xmx is the
# max memory.
# Replace 4G for example by 512M, which means
# 512 megabytes.
# If using nano, hit ctrl-x, followed by the
# y character, followed by an enter to exit
# editing, and save the done work.
Now it is time to configure nodes' clustering. To do that the OHazelcastPlugin must be configured in config/orientdb-server-config.xml, to specify if it is enabled, and where the default configuration file for distributed database, for example default-distributed-db-config.json is, and where the file used to configure cluster membership and protocol, for example, hazelcast.xml is. The default configuration in orientdb-server-config.xml is sufficient.

To configure the replication protocol, edit orientdb-server-config.xml, for each server.
 xsi:schemaLocation="...>
 false
 2434

The group name and password, are the cluster's name and password. Make sure to change them, and to choose a secure password.
The network is the network protocol to be used. auto-increment is disabled, if enabled and the port specified is already bound, then the next port is tried.
The network protocol can be set to multicast, like if on the local network, or on the same PC, in such a case, nothing is to be configured, just make sure that multicast is enabled, as in, enabled="true". Only one network setting can be enabled, as in tcp-ip or multicast.
If like on different or remote networks, or for any other reasons, the network protocol can be set to tcp-ip. For tcp-ip, you can specify the IP address or host name, with optionally a port number, as in. For each server, that is to be part of the group, just add its details using the member tag.
Having configured the network protocol, it is time to configure database replication, which can be done in default-distributed-db-config.json. This file is copied, and updated as distributed-config.json, to each database folder in orientdb-version/databases.
// The config/default-distributed-db-config.json file.
 "autoDeploy": true,
 "executionMode": "undefined",
 "readQuorum": 1,
 "writeQuorum": "majority",
 "readYourWrites": true,
 "newNodeStrategy": "static",
 "servers": {
 "production": "master"
 "development": "replica",
 "clusters": {
 "internal": {
 "*": {
 "servers": [""]
autoDeploy : Means automatically deploy the database to nodes, which
 do not have it.
executionMode : Default is undefined, to let the client decide.
 If set to Asynchronous, then an operation is first
 executed on the the local node, before being
 replicated.
readQuorum : Number of responses that must be coherent, before
 replying to a read operation.
writeQuorum : Number of responses that must be coherent, before
 replying to a write operation.
 If set to all, means all responses must be coherent,
 if set to majority, this means that n/2 + 1
 responses must be coherent, and if set to 1, it
 is as if it is disabled .
readYourWrites : The write quorum is only satisfied, if the local
 node has responded.
newNodeStrategy : Can be set to static or dynamic, if static a new
 node is registered as static, if dynamic a new
 node is managed as dynamic. When a node is
 unreachable, and the node strategy is dynamic it
 does not count into the quorum.
servers : What is the role of each server, for example the server which
 was given the name of production is a master, and the one
 given the name of development is replica.
 "servers":{"*"":master}, can be used to state that all servers
 are masters.
 More than one master can be configured, a replica server is just a
 replica, it does not count into voting in writeQuorum.
clusters : The term cluster in orientdb, also means a way of grouping
 records of a certain type, or by a specific value.
 A class is orientdb way of modeling, so it is the model, it
 stores its data into records.
 Each class can have multiple clusters, as in to group records
 which it has and which are similar.
 A cluster can be a physical one, as storage on disk, or
 temporal as an in memory cluster.
 So this setting is used to configure clusters.
 As seen, in the provided excerpt the internal cluster is not
 replicated. All other clusters are replicated.
 servers has as a value an array, which is the list of
 servers where cluster records are saved. The special
 value means auto add new nodes. An
 example of using specific node values is :
 ["location1", "location2"].
 Cluster configuration inherits database configuration,
 readQuorum, writeQuorum, readYourWrites, and can
 override them.
 Additionally owner can be used to specify the owner of the
 cluster , as in "owner": "location1", this is called
 static assignment, even if the node is down, a static
 owner is not changed. If not done statically, an owner is
 chosen at runtime dynamically.*/
In the previous example, two nodes were specified, one as being a master, and the second one as being a replica, other configuration options, are explained in the preceding code, as in having all nodes to be masters, which is the default.
That is it for configuring replication using orientdb, the servers can be started using./. Start the replica, after the master.
To check if everything is working correctly, a database can be created as in create database remote:localhost/nameOfDb root thePassword, on the master server, using the console, which can be launched from the bin folder, and using the console in the replica server, and after issuing the command connect remote:localhost/ root thePassword, the command List databases can be run to verify that the created database has been replicated.
If multiple instances of orientdb are run on the same PC, different ports must be configured for each running instance, for example in orientdb-server

Radiocarbon evidence indicates that migrants introduced farming to Britain
Archaeologists disagree about how farming began in Britain. Some argue it was a result of indigenous groups adopting domesticates and cultigens via trade and exchange. Others contend it was the consequence of a migration of farmers from mainland Europe. To shed light on this debate, we used radiocarbon dates to estimate changes in population density between 8000 and 4000 cal BP. We found evidence for a marked and rapid increase in population density coincident with the appearance of cultigens around 6000 cal BP. We also found evidence that this increase occurred first in southern England and shortly afterwards in central Scotland. These findings are best explained by groups of farmers from the Continent independently colonizing England and Scotland, and therefore strongly support the migrant farmers hypothesis.

Five Largest American Flags in the World

Five Largest American Flags in the World
Five Largest American Flags in the World
Posted by Patriot Home & Yard on Mar 1st 2020
What are the largest American flags in the world?
Since 1777, the contemporary American flag has been prominently displayed not solely as a representation of the United States, but as a representation of the ideas and themes that the United States encompasses. In this way, the flag's stripes signify much more than the 13 original colonies, and its stars signify much more than the 50 states. Together, these stripes and stars signify freedom, honor, and fairness--the opportunity for anyone, of any background, to reach the pinnacle of life's achievements.
The following five flags showcase the hard work of Americans who understand and love Old Glory, and who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to create and display some of the physically largest American flags in the country and the world.
5. Gastonia, North Carolina's 114-Foot-Long Mega Flag
Gastonia, North Carolina, a vibrant, thriving city that's about 20 miles west of Charlotte, is home to one of the world's biggest American flags.
The remarkable feat of craftsmanship measures 114 feet wide by 64 feet tall, for a grand total of 7,410 square feet, and can be seen from over 30 miles away. Its 225-foot-tall pole weighs approximately 80,000 pounds!
Both the flag and the pole were built by the Gaston County Chapter VA, and the flag's desirable placement--a short way from Crowder's Mountain State Park, which is breathtaking in its own right--makes for easy and stress-free access.
4. Hanover, Pennsylvania's Colossal Chalk Flag
In 1998, 200 artistically gifted volunteers used chalk to create a detailed, gorgeous-looking American flag on the pavement of a Walmart store in Hanover, Pennsylvania. Overcoming the ever-present threat of inclement weather, the artists completed the project on June 28th. With an area of 17,700 square feet, the flag was (promptly) awarded the title of "Largest Chalk Pavement Art" by Guinness World Records.
Obviously, the chalk flag has disappeared at the hands of the elements, but the overhead image captured on the day of its completion--along with the spirit of those who contributed--lives on.
3. Acuity Insurance's 340-Pound Flag--The Biggest Free-Flying American Flag in the World
Acuity Insurance's Sheboygan, Wisconsin, headquarters boasts a talented team of insurance professionals and the largest free-flying American flag in the world. Additionally, the public is welcome to visit the flag as they wish, at any time of the day or evening, for the ultra-affordable cost of free.
Measuring 70 feet tall and 140 feet long, with a weight of 340 pounds and an area of 9,800 square feet, Acuity's huge American flag is supported by a pole that weighs approximately 420,000 pounds! The pole and the flag were built to withstand Wisconsin's notorious winters, and save for especially devastating winds, the flag remains at full mast, swaying honorably over Wisconsin.
2. The 1929 Flag Day Variation
In 1929, during President Herbert Hoover's administration, what was then the largest American flag--measuring 90 feet tall by 165 feet wide--was delivered to the Capitol.
Having been loaned to the government by a Detroit department store, the flag was part of a Flag Day parade and subsequent ceremony, which was attended by the vice president. Children dressed in red, white, and blue and were organized to replicate the flag's image, and remaining Civil War veterans--from both sides of the conflict--were welcomed. Lastly, 13-year-old Betsy Ross--a direct descendant of the Betsy Ross--attended the event.
This flag is no longer the largest (or even the second largest) in the world. But its significance cannot be understated, and it's easy to imagine the one-of-a-kind scene it accompanied nearly a century ago, when all manner of Americans united in Washington, D.C.
1. Ski Dempski's Superflag--The World's Largest American Flag
The Superflag is far too large to fly for any sizable period, but its ability to dazzle onlookers is without question.
Measuring 505 feet wide and 225 feet tall, the Superflag was originally crafted in 1992, by Ski Dempski, an ambitious, flag-loving California native. The flag rose to fame after being unfurled at the Hoover Dam (coinciding with the 1996 Summer Olympics and the running of the torch), during which time it was awarded the title of "Largest Flag" by Guinness World Records. At 1.36 tons, the Superflag required both machinery and hundreds of human volunteers to unfurl.
Nearly 25 years later, the Superflag is still the largest American flag in existence, and it continues to inspire.
And, what's Patriot Home & Yard's largest wooden American Flag? Well, we can't say it's as big as the top five, but my husband is working on an 6-footer right now!

Actually, working in Dreamweaver is what gave me the inspiration to write the "Count Your Words" article because I wanted to do a word count while working on an HTML document, but couldn't. So, today I'll explain a bit about Dreamweaver's configuration mechanism, how commands work, and how to implement and incorporate your own word count function. Then you'll be able to count the number of words you've selected or those from the complete document.
To follow the examples, you'll need either Dreamweaver or Dreamweaver Ultradev version 3 or later. Since all configuration files are simple plain text, you can just use Dreamweaver to make the necessary changes. You can download a free 30-day trial version at Macromedia's Dreamweaver download page.
Dreamweaver_Home/Configuration/Commands/ and are selectable via the Commands menu.
So, let's see what happens internally when you invoke a command by selecting it in the Commands menu?
When you select and open the Commands menu, Dreamweaver reads all the command files that are defined for this menu. The menu and its items are defined in a separate configuration file,
menu.xml, which is explained in greater detail in the next section.
To determine if a command is suitable for a document or its selection, the function
canAcceptComand() is called, and it returns either true or false. In case of the latter, the menu item is grayed out. If you want your command to be always selectable, just leave this function.
To receive arguments, the function
receiveArguments() is called. This function receives its arguments either from the attribute property of the selected menu item or from
dreamweaver.runCommand(), which is the calling function.
To create the buttons on the right of the dialogue, the function
commandButtons() is called in the next step. Here you can create a array of button text and action strings, which must be returned from this function. To make l10n easier, you can use one the symbolic variables defined in
Dreamweaver_Home/Configuration/Shared/MM/Scripts/CMN/localtext.js. You can leave this function if your own command doesn't depend on arguments.
In order to become displayed, the HTML document must contain a
form element. If it has one, the function
windowDimension() is called, which is expected to return a string containing a comma delimited width and height pair. If this function can't be found, the size of the dialogue is determined by the document's content.
In the last step, the functions defined in the document's body
onload event handler are called, just as in any other HTML document. Now the command is prepared and ready to work. After completing its task, it's closed by a simple
We created an example file for you containing the needed skeleton with all functions of the Commands-API.
Now, let's see how a command is integrated into one of Dreamweaver's menus.
DreamWeaver 4: The Missing Manual
Earlier versions of Dreamweaver stored its menu structure in a set of HTML documents. Beginning in version 3, the complete menu structure is stored in one XML file,
Dreamweaver_Home/Configuration/Menus/menu.xml. This file defines menubars and shortcut lists that are associated to the different Dreamweaver windows by their ID. For instance, the shortcut list and menubar of the main document window are identified by
So, open this file and search for a
menubar element with ID
DWMainWindow, this menubar holds all menus displayed in sequential order like
Edit, etc. in
menu elements. The name attribute of a menu element defines the name displayed. Adding an underscore in front of a letter causes this item be become selectable with the keyboard when selecting the menu via the "Alt" key.
Inside each menu you can find two different types of elements, either a
menuseparator element. Since menu.xml pretends to be an XML document (which it's not, as it lacks a document element), you have to take care to close those elements properly when you create new ones, i.e. use a slash before the closing bracket to create a well-formed element.
Creating a new entry for our command is a very straight-forward task. Use the Commands menu for this task. Search for the menu with ID
DWMenu_Commands. You're free to create a new
menuitem like the one below wherever you want inside the menu element:
key attribute creates a hotkey combination for the item. The
enabled attribute value to
false causes this menu item be become grayed out and unselectable. The
checked attribute can be used to add a checkmark in front of the item with an attribute value of
Make sure you create a well-formed document, and when you're finished, just save the file. In case you messed up
menu.xml, you can find a default version in the same menu,
menu.bak, which just needs to be saved over your edited file to restore the default behavior.
Dreamweaver_Home/Configuration/Commands/ folder as
In order to have Dreamweaver reload its configuration, you can restart the application. Much easier is the following trick.
Fortunately you don't have to restart Dreamweaver every time you change something in your configs. Simply open the objects palette (Ctrl-F2), and click the small triangle on the upper right while holding the Ctrl key (see Figure 1).
You'll find a new menu item at the bottom,
Reload Extensions. Selecting it causes Dreamweaver to read the configuration files again, and recreate all configurable items like objects, menus, commands, etc.
To work with the new command, just select it via the Commands menu, or use the hotkeys if they are available. To count all of the words, don't select any text and you'll get a count for the entire document. Otherwise, make a selection and call the command for a count of a specific area.

Best Ways To Taste Dab
If you don't know about the dabbing process, when you finish reading this article, you will be more informed. One of the ideal things that many recreational users have come to find out is best ways to taste dab. It has a sensational taste, but may not be for everyone. Dab is a tiny dose of marijuana concentrate and dabbing is the process to which dab is made. The process involves putting a dose of marijuana concentrate on a heated dab nail, after which you would inhale it to reach that high. The dab nail looks like a water pipe attachment.
Tiny Rig
If you wanted to reach a certain flavor during your session of inhaling the dab, it is best to choose a dab rig that has a tiny chamber and joint size. Generally, the dab rig should be as small as possible to improve the flavor. It traps the flavor and saves it or you would say, it preserves the dab taste. It also regulates the air flow. This helps the user to have a longer inhale in one breath. It is suggested taht you use an oil right that has minimum diffusion since it maximizes the competence and minimizes the compression of the oil inside the dab rig. When the joints are smaller, they also provide sustained and smoother inhalation in comparison to the chugging that the user might experience as a large dab rig is cleared.
Adding the Quartz Insert or Quartz Nail
Your dab nail is crucial to the dabbing procedure, allowing for one of the best ways to taste dab. The process heats up the dab nail with the use of a coil or torch. The torch material is usually made of quartz, titanium or ceramic. Each of these materials has their own advantages and disadvantages. It is recommended that you use quartz since it improves the flavor. It could be either a quartz insert or quartz nail. What is most important is that you use a surface that is quartz.
The Temperature
Your temperature when you are dabbing should be low and consistent. This is true if you are seeking the maximum flavor each time you carry out the dabbing process. It would be better to ue an electric nail instead of a torch, if you want to manage and maintain the desired flavor. When you use the e-nail or electric nail, it also heats the surface where the dabbing process takes place, but you are able to manage its temperature in a specific manner; thereby allowing you to perfect the desired temperature. Set your temperature between 550-650°Fahrenheit. That is where the sweet spot seems to be.
Refined Concentrate
Your next step to taste dab that is of the highest quality would be to use refined concentrate. If you are going to ingest concentrate from solvent, then you should make sure that the oil has no contaminate, residue from the solvent or plant matter. It would be better to use live resin instead. Extracts without the use of solvent tend to give an enhanced flavor because it preserves the terpenes. The reason could be the fact that it consists of heads of isolated glandular trichome, which have a lot of terpenes in them.
Final Thoughts
One of the ideal ways to taste dab without the high presence of THC would be to dab CBD. This is an effective way as it relates to dab consumption. If you are not privy to cannabis concentrate for your dabbing process, you can make it for yourself using rosin. This can be done safely from your home. You should give this a try soon!
