I'm wondering if the following can be true: Let Y be a second countable space and $\pi_2:Y \times \mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ ($\mathbb{R}$ with its usual topology and $\pi_2$ the projection onto the second factor) be a closed map: do these assumptions imply that Y is compact? (There is no assumption $T_0$, $T_1$ or $T_2$ on $Y$.)
thank you in advance.

Let $(y_n)$ be a sequence in $Y$. Let $A$ be the subset of $Y \times \mathbf{R}$ of all points $(y_n, \frac{1}{n})$ for $n \in \mathbf{N}$, and let $B$ be its closure. Then $\pi_2[B]$ is closed in $\mathbf{R}$, and contains all points $\frac{1}{n}$, so it contains $0$. So for some $y \in Y$, $(y,0) \in B$. Using the countable base we can extract a subsequence of the $(y_n)$ that converges to $Y$ (as $Y$ is first countable in particular). We do then need that $y$ is in the closure of all subsequences of $(y_n)$ as well, which follows in a similar way, otherwise we cannot get (without separation axioms) a convergent subsequence from first countability alone. But this works.
So $Y$ is sequentially compact, which implies that $Y$ is countably compact (in the covering sense; no separation axioms needed) and as $Y$ is also Lindelöf, being second countable, $Y$ is compact.

I assume that by compact, you mean quasi-compact (i.e. not necessarily Hausdorff but with the finite sucover property), otherwise any $Y$ with the coarsest topology would be a counterexample.
Then it seems that your notion is equivalent to pseudocompactness, namely that any continous $f:Y\to\mathbb{R}$ has compact image. I checked that quickly, so I may be wrong.
EDIT : indeed I am, see below. The property is slightly stronger than that.
(I haven't found a reference in MR, although I would bet it is an exercise in Bourbaki).
The idea is first to observe that the property remains the same if you substitute $\mathbb{R}$ with $[0,1]\simeq[-\infty,\infty]$, basically because any one is included in the other (up to homeo).
Then since the graph of a continuous $f:Y\to\mathbb{R}$ is closed, $f(Y)$ must be closed in $\mathbb{R}$ and also $[-\infty,\infty]$, hence bounded. Similarly, any lower/upper semi-continuous $f$ is lower/upper bounded and attains its inf/sup, since $f$ is lsc iff its "epigraph" $\{(y,t):f(y)\leq t\}$ is closed.
For the converse, if $F$ is closed in $Y\times[0,1]$, but not its projection $F_2$, one may assume that $0$ isn't in $F_2$ but is in its closure. Then the function $y\mapsto \inf t : (y,t)\in F $ is lower semi-continuous and doesn't attain its infimum $0$.
EDIT: pseudocompactness doen't imply that lsc functions attain their infimum in general (not completely regular) spaces : there is no way to construct a continuous function from an lsc one if there are "not enough" continuous functions. Your property is indeed stronger than pseudocompactness, as the particular point topology on $\mathbb N$ shows. This space is homeomorphic to $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$ with Zariski topology : a discrete countable subspace (primes) plus a dense "generic point" (0). Any continuous function is constant (hence pseudocompactness), but a function $f$ is lsc iff $f\leq f(0)$!! (I checked that twice, it's so shocking!)
So your property is equivalent to "lsc real-valued functions attain their lower bound", which may have a name, I don't know. Maybe "strongly pseudocompact"?
By the way, pseudocompact doesn't imply (quasi-)compact, even for "nice" (completely regular) spaces, as is seen with the long line or simply the first uncountable ordinal $\omega_1$ (with order topology). There are also non-Hausdorff examples, see wikipedia article.

I thought about the latter too, as all countably compact space satisfy the fact that the projection onto R is closed (we can replace R by any sequential space even). But of course I realized we cannot have a second countable (note that condition! the OP works in second countable spaces) counterexample, as a second countable space is Lindelöf, and a Lindelöf and countably compact is compact... So the standard examples do not work. I also don't see why we can replace R by [0,1]: closedness is not preserved by embedding... So please elaborate on that? – Henno Brandsma Jul 13 '10 at 16:38
This is the following lemma : If projection $Y\times Z_1\to Z_1$ is closed and $Z_2$ is a subspace of $Z_1$, then $Y\times Z_2\to Z_2$ is also closed. Proof: take $F$ closed in $Y\times Z_2$ the projection $G$ of its closure $\overline{F}$ in $Y\times Z_1$ is closed in $Z_1$, so $G\cap Z_2$ is closed in $Z_2$. But since $\overline{F}\cap(Y\times Z_2)=F$ (opens of subspace are traces of opens of ambient space), this is the projection of $F$. – BS. Jul 13 '10 at 18:31
And I overlooked the "second countable" hypothesis, which ruins my counterexamples. – BS. Jul 15 '10 at 9:50

It is important to remember that these calculations are for soluble oxygen content; the total oxygen content which includes both the soluble oxygen and
the oxygen associated with inclusions could be much higher.
For single element deoxidation, the solubility of oxygen in liquid iron at 1600°C (2912°F) is given as a function of the concentration of
the alloying element. In each case, the melt is in equilibrium with the respective pure oxide; e.g. SiO2, Al2O3 etc.
It can be clearly seen that aluminum is the strongest of the common deoxiders followed by titanium. Rare earths are about as strong aluminum as deoxidizers
and will be discussed later in detail.

Seven Hanging Valleys Circular
The Seven Hanging Valleys Trail is a waymarked walk which follows the high cliffs between Praia Marinha and Praia Vale de Centeanes. This circular route is for those who want to tackle the often challenging 5.7km trail to Praia Vale de Centeanes but would prefer a less demanding return to Praia Marinha (the promoted route is linear). If clear turquoise waters, crashing waves and unspoilt beaches are not your 'thing' then focus instead on the many fascinating geological features along the route, including caves, arches and stacks. Stare down into the numerous (and fenced) sinkholes and listen to the sound of the ocean far below.
There are illustrated information boards along the way explaining how erosion has moulded this limestone landscape, as well as information about local flora and fauna. Walk highlights include Benagil, a beach which is consistently voted among the most beautiful in Europe; and the Farol de Alfanzina (a 23-metre lighthouse built in 1920 and still in operation today).

Internet Radio
Last Updated: December 9, 2016
Definition - What does Internet Radio mean?
Internet radio is an audio service that uses the Internet as a distribution medium of broadcasting instead of the traditional radio waves. The proper term used for internet radio is webcasting, as it is not actually broadcast through wireless signals. It is a form of streaming media where content is usually provided live instead of being prerecorded like some podcasts.
Techopedia explains Internet Radio
Internet radio refers to audio services that are transmitted via the Internet. Most are associated with a traditional radio station that simply streams its content over the internet in simulcast with traditional radio signals.
Other internet radio stations are independent. The beauty of internet radio is that it has a global reach. Anyone, anywhere with a PC, mobile device and web browser can to connect to an internet radio station.
Internet radio may also refer to standalone devices that connect to the internet via Wi-Fi or a local area network (LAN) in order to stream Internet radio audio services. These devices are usually shaped like traditional FM radios for nostalgia, while some manufacturers use a modern design approach.

📤 Drawer View is a custom UI component replication of Apple's Apple Music player and Shortcuts components view (also can be seen in Maps app).
drawer-view is availabe via CocoaPods
pod 'drawer-view', '~> 1.0.1'
You can always use copy-paste the sources method 😄. Or you can compile the framework and include it with your project.
📺 Demo
Please wait while the.gif files are loading... (they are about 25Mb)
🍱 Features
 - Easy to use
 - You only need to instantiate a class called DrawerView and add your UI components.
 - Flexible API
 - Includes a number of customization points that allows to decorate the DrawerView as you'd like.
 - Callbacks
 - You can use built-in callbacks in order to integrate animations or get the state changes.
 - Behavior
 - You may tell the component to close the drawer when the device is rotated or user interacts with the child components.
 - Autolayout
 - You don't need to do anything related to autolayout - the component properly handles all the changes. The only thing you need to do is to add your UI components and make sure that aulayout constraints are properly setup for them.
📚 Code Samples
The most simple instantiation: you only need to provide the superview:
let _ = DrawerView(superView: view)
You can specify how much space will be between top anchor of the DrawerView and the superview by setting topLayoutGuidePadding property and how tall the DrawerView will be when it is closed by setting closedHeight property:
let _ = DrawerView(topLayoutGuidePadding: 100, closedHeight: 82, superView: view)
You can specify blur effect and its type. It will be animated alongside with the drawer view. There are several styles for blur:
let _ = DrawerView(blurStyle:.light, superView: view)
By default the DrawerView will include a visual indicator called LineArrow. LineArrow is an indicator that decorates the view and helps a user with interaction. You can change the properties of the indicator by setting its height, width and color:
let _ = DrawerView(lineArrow: (height: 8, width: 82, color:.black), superView: view)
// Or you can set 'nil' in order to turn the indicator off
You can change the behavior of the component when a device is rotated. By default the DrawerView will not be closed when a device is rotated. However, you can change this behavior:
drawerView.closeOnRotation = true
You can programmatically change the state of the component:
drawerView.change(state:.open, shouldAnimate: true)
By default, interactions with the child views don't affect the DrawerView anyhow. However, you can change this behavior and allow the DrawerView to be dismissed when one of the child views are interacted:
drawerView.closeOnChildViewTaps = true
There is an animation closure that is used to animate the external components alongside with the DrawerView:
drawerView.animationClosure = { state in
 switch state {
 case.open:
 someOtherView.alpha = 1.0
 case.closed:
 someOtherView.alpha = 0.0
You can optionally specify a completion closure that gets called when animation is completed:
drawerView.completionClosure = { state in
 switch state {
 case.open:
 case.closed:
The third and final callback closure can be used to get DrawerViewstate changes:
drawerView.onStateChangeClosure = { state in
 state ==.closed? showDialog() : doNothing()
Also there are many other properties that be customized:
drawerView.cornerRadius = 60
drawerView.animationDuration = 2.5
drawerView.animationDampingRatio = 0.9
drawerView.shadowRadius = 0.25
drawerView.shadowOpacity = 0.132

How to Make Salted Duck or Chicken Eggs
Eggs submerged in salt water
Eggs submerged in salt water
In The Beginning
The existence of salted eggs dates to many centuries ago in Asian countries like China, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand. Salted eggs were probably a daily food among farmers and villagers where other foods were scarce and the people were poor. The only food they had to survive on in those days came from their own crops and farm animals. Preserved and salted foods were also common as they could be stored for a long time without refrigerators, which they didn't have back then.
Salted Duck Eggs
Duck eggs are often used in the making of salted eggs. The traditional way of making salted eggs is by covering the eggs in a salty mud paste and letting the eggs cure for many months. This method is still being used today. Other modern methods are also being used, and it could be one of the reasons why there are more and more inferior-quality salted eggs being sold out there.
The Chinese make salted duck eggs by coating them with a thick paste made from charcoal, salt, water and then wrapping each egg in a plastic bag. The Filipinos use a mixture of clay, salt, and water to coat the duck eggs. The duck eggs are then cured for a few weeks before they are ready to be sold in the markets.
Good Eggs or Bad Eggs
It is easy to tell if a cooked salted egg is of good quality or inferior type. A good salted egg has a bright yellow yolk in the middle that is oozing with thick yellow liquid. A poor quality salted egg lacks the yellow colour in its yolk, sometimes it's not even pale yellow and is often too salty to be eaten.
Where to Buy Salted Eggs
You can find salted duck eggs in most Asian grocery stores. Some of the eggs have been dyed with red or pink colour so as not to get them mixed up with the normal fresh eggs. Some eggs are wrapped individually in plastic bags and are still coated with the black charcoal paste. Half a dozen salted eggs usually cost around $6 from the grocery store.
Why Not Make Your Own
You can also make your own at home with chicken, duck, emu, or quail eggs. Duck eggs are still the best for making this particular dish. There is a particular taste in duck eggs that seems to bring out the aroma, texture, and taste of an authentic salted egg. So, go for duck if you can find them!
Duck eggs coated with black soil to make salted eggs.
Duck eggs coated with black soil to make salted eggs.
How to Make Salted Eggs
You will need the following ingredients/items:
 - 12 eggs
 - 500 grams cooking salt
 - 4 cups water
 - Large glass container with a lid
 1. Pour the cooking salt and water into a pot and boil.
 2. Stir until all the salt has melted and keep boiling until you see lots of salt crystals start to form on the side of the pot. This means the salt water has reached a saturation point and the salt has started to crystallise.
 3. Remove pot from heat and let the salt water cool to room temperature.
 4. Put the eggs in the glass container.
 5. Slowly pour in the salt water and salt crystals until all the eggs are submerged in the water.
 6. Cover the container with the lid and leave it in a cool dark place.
A good quality salted egg is bright yellow and moist inside.

Waiting Time...
It takes approximately 4 weeks for the eggs to turn salty. If you prefer less salty eggs, you can take out one egg to test for saltiness after three weeks. Boil the salted egg in water for 10 minutes until it is hard-boiled. Let it cool and then remove the shell.
Tasting Time
Taste and see if it is salty enough for your liking. If not, leave the eggs in the container for another week or two, depending on how salty you want them to be.
When you are satisfied with the saltiness of the eggs, remove them from the salt water and store the eggs in the refrigerator until they are needed for cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Salted eggs can be served as a small side dish with rice or noodles. They can also be used as a filling for Chinese mooncakes.
Salted eggs can be used as a side dish served with steamed rice.
Questions & Answers
Question: Can I reuse the salt and water to make another batch of salted eggs?
Answer: You will need to reboil the salt and water if you want to reuse the solution.
Question: Why is salted chicken egg not commercialized like salted duck egg? What is the difference between a salted chicken egg and salted duck egg?
Answer: From my own understanding, the duck egg has a thicker shell that allows it to store better for a long time. Also, duck eggs have a distinct flavor that some people do not like - preserving the duck eggs in salt tends to get rid of that flavor. Duck eggs have bigger yolks, salted egg yolks are becoming very popular in a lot of Asian recipes!
Question: Why should we use a glass container for salted egg stock? What about a plastic Tupperware?
Answer: Personally I like to use glass containers for storing food. You may use Tupperware containers if you prefer them.
Question: After curing salted eggs for 4 weeks, do I need to boil them first before eating or I can just peel them and eat it without cooking?
Answer: The salted eggs need to be cooked before consuming. You can boil them like hard-boiled eggs, or you can break the shell and put them in a bowl and steam until they are cooked. The salted eggs can also be mixed with meat or vegetables for cooking.
Question: How does the egg become salty when cooking?
Answer: Eggshells are porous and salt water can go through the eggshells by a process called osmosis.
Question: Why do the eggs float when put in a container with salt water?
Answer: Salt water has a higher density that causes the eggs to float.
Question: Can the eggs be boiled first before putting them in the jar of salty and water?
Answer: If the eggs are cooked first, they will become hard-boiled eggs. In the solid form, they will take very long to become salted eggs.
Question: Is it true that it is less hygienic to use a mud/soil in making salted eggs?
Answer: I am sure the mud/soil used for salted eggs production commercially has some sort of quality control.
Question: What if an egg is cracked before you put in the glass to make salted eggs?
Answer: If the egg is cracked, do not put it in the container.
Question: Can I directly boil duck eggs with the salt solution?
Answer: If you boil the duck eggs in the salt solution, the process will only cook the eggs but not make them salty.
Question: How long do salted eggs keep for, and how do I store them properly after I finish salting them?
Answer: The salted eggs can be kept in the fridge for several weeks.
Question: I've just recently made a batch of salted chicken eggs for the first time, it was brined for 16 days. The eggs were cooked all they like hard-boiled. Is it normal for the yolk part to be green in color? It sure tasted good though.
Answer: The color of the yolk has something to do with the quality of the egg. Good quality eggs have a bright orange color while poorer quality egg yolks are sometimes pale yellow. I haven't seen green color in the yolks but if the eggs were fresh enough when you bought them, it should not be a problem.
Question: How to color duck eggs?
Answer: Food dye can be used if you want to color the duck eggs.
Question: Is it okay if I don't boil the water and salt when making salted eggs?
Answer: Boiling the water helps to dissolve the salt and attain the saturation point.
Question: How do you preserve a salted egg?
Answer: You can keep the salted eggs in the fridge for a few weeks.
Question: I just bought my first salted eggs and I am not sure what to do with them first. Do I need to wash them or cook them before consuming them?
Answer: If you have bought ready made salted eggs from the store, just give them a wash before you cook them.
Question: Can the curing time be shorter for salted eggs?
Answer: If the curing time is less than 3 weeks, the eggs will not be salty enough and will not store well.
Question: Is there a way to remove the salt content from imported preserved chicken eggs?
Answer: I would suggest soaking the uncooked eggs in water for one to two weeks and changing the water every other day.
Question: Can we make a spicy salted egg?
Answer: You can make the salted egg spicy when it is ready to serve.
Question: Do I have to wait 4 weeks to complete the salted duck egg?
Answer: Yes, it takes time to make salted egg.
Question: Can I use slightly cracked eggs like very small crack on the shells to make salted duck eggs?
Answer: I would prefer not to use eggs with visible cracks.
Question: Does a salted

Facts about Highlands
The community was named Highlands because the east bank of the San Jacinto River, where Highlands is located, has a higher elevation than the west bank of the river. By 1908 Highlands became a station on the Beaumont, Sour Lake and Western Railway. A post office opened in 1929. Highlands incorporated in 1930, but its charter was voided, leaving Highlands as unincorporated again. In the 1930s Highlands had 20 businesses and its population decreased from 350 to 200. The 1936 Harris County highway map indicated two churches, a factory, a school, and a sawmill in Highlands. Highlands housed military members and war plant personnel during World War II.

Before each Auburn football game, an eagle is set free to circle the stadium and land in the center of the field while the crowd screams "War Eagle!" The most popular story of how the university got such a dramatic tradition starts back in 1892, when Auburn was playing Georgia.
An aging Civil War veteran in the crowd had brought his pet eagle, which he'd found while a soldier on a battlefield. He'd nursed the injured bird back to health and it lived as his companion. During the football game, the eagle suddenly propelled itself from the man's solider and soared above the field. Below the flying eagle, Auburn took control of the game and as the team made a touchdown drive the students chanted "War Eagle!" while the bird continued to fly. At the end of the game, Auburn had won and the eagle then plummeted dead to the field.
Over 100 years later, the War Eagle and its majestic pre-game flight are icons of Auburn football. Auburn fans greet each other by saying "War Eagle" (an exchange of this phrase is known as a "War Eagle Moment"). The war eagles are all housed and cared for by the College of Veterinary Medicine's Southeastern Raptor Center, which treats and rehabilitates injured raptors.
Currently serving is War Eagle VII, a golden eagle named Nova. A rehabilitated bald eagle named Spirit also makes flights on special occasions. The retired War Eagle VI, a golden eagle named Tiger who was rescued from an illegal breeding operation, is still used by the Raptor Center to promote conservation.

Import AUTOSAR architecture updates from OEMs
Select this option before the import to merge data instead of overwriting it.
The splittable mechanism provides the following benefits:
- You can optimize processes by distributing elements to files as required, e.g., to support processes for data exchange between OEMs and suppliers.
- You can add elements to an AUTOSAR model via additional AUTOSAR files. This lets you add elements without changing existing AUTOSAR files.
- To reimport splittable elements, right-click the project node and select Import – AUTOSAR.
- Select the file you want to import and select Files contain a new system extract version with splittable elements.
- Browse to and select the previous file version for comparison. SystemDesk returns to the Import dialog.
- Click Start Import.
SystemDesk imports and merges the selected AUTOSAR elements.
You merged AUTOSAR elements from an AUTOSAR file with the AUTOSAR elements in a SystemDesk project.

Suppose $A$ and $B$ are two algebras of the same signature, both having maximum condition on sub-algebras. Is it true that $A\times B$ has the same property?
share|improve this question
What is maximum condition? – The Masked Avenger Feb 19 at 22:38
Take ${\mathbb Z}$ with two unary operations $i:z\mapsto z+1$ and $d:z\mapsto z-1$. Such an algebra has only two subalgebras $\varnothing$ and ${\mathbb Z}$. Whereas in ${\mathbb Z}\times{\mathbb Z}$, a subalgebra is any subset closed with respect to the action of the group $({\mathbb Z},+)$ given by $z\cdot(z_1,z_2):=(z+z_1,z+z_2)$. Any orbit is given by the number $z_1-z_2$. Therefore, a subalgebra is nothing but a collection of integer numbers. Consequently, the maximality condition does not hold. – Sasha Anan'in Feb 19 at 22:57

Here is a semigroup example.
Take the semigroup $\mathbb Z_+$ of positive integers. Each of its subsemigroups is finitely generated so it has the maximum condition on subsemigroups. But $\mathbb Z_+\times \mathbb Z_+$ is not finitely generated so it does not have the maximum condition.
Indeed, any element of the form $(m,1)$ with $m>0$ is not a sum of two elements of $\mathbb Z_+\times \mathbb Z_+$. Thus these elements must belong to any generating set.

Thank you, it seems that determining the type of algebras having this property must be hard. – M. Shahryari Feb 20 at 3:06

This page takes you through the general steps for upgrading product versions based on Carbon 4.4.6 to Carbon 4.4.7.
Preparing to Upgrade
The following are the specific prerequisites you must complete before an upgrade:
 - Before you upgrade to the latest version of a product, you create a staging database, which is essentially an empty database. Note that you should NOT connect a new product version to an older database that has not been upgraded.
 - Make a backup of the database and the directory prior to upgrading. The directory can simply be copied to the new directory.
 - Stop all the Carbon servers connected to the database before running the migration scripts.
 Note that the upgrade should be done during a period when there is low traffic on the system.
 - This upgrade can only be done if the database type is the same. For example, if you are using MySQL currently and you need to migrate to Oracle in the new version, these scripts will not work.
 - You cannot roll back an upgrade. It is impossible to restore a backup of the previous server and retry the upgrade process.
The downtime is limited to the time taken for switching databases when the staging database is promoted to the actual production status.
Upgrading the configurations
There are no database changes between Carbon 4.4.6 to Carbon 4.4.7. Therefore, only the new configuration options in Carbon 4.4.7 should be updated for the new environment as explained below.
 1. Copy the data from the old database to the staging database you created. This becomes the new database for your new version of Carbon.
 2. Download Carbon 4.4.7 and connect it to your staging database.
 3. Update the configuration files in Carbon 4.4.7 as required.
 4. Copy the following directories from the old database to the staging database.
 1. To migrate the super tenant settings, copy the /repository/deployment/server directory.
 2. If multitenancy is used, copy the /repository/tenants directory.
 Note that configurations should not be copied directly between servers.
 5. Start the server.
Going into production
The following are recommended tests to run on the staging system.
 - No labels

Only one day before the ICES workshop on fish condition (WKFICON) starts in Girona, we have been informed that Professor Georgiy Shulman passed away on 13 November 2016 at the age of 87.
Dr. Shulman was a renowned marine zoologist specializing in fish ecology and physiology. His well-known investigations have had great significance in the areas of fish adaptations, biodiversity, life history and productivity, and fishery problems. His research was carried out at the Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas in Sevastopol, Ukraine. He was the author of many books and articles that provided an undeniable and substantial contribution to fish condition studies.
We all mourn the loss of an excellent scientist and teacher who inspired us. We hope to continue his work.

Mirror Care 101
Mirror Care 101
Mirrors can really enhance any space throughout your home. But when a mirror is neglected and the frame or glass looks streaky and dusty, it can leave a pretty bad impression. Mirrors are the focal part of a room and attract attention, so it's important to keep them clean and looking great. Here are some tips to help you take proper care of your mirrors.
Always use a clean, gentle cloth when cleaning the glass
Mirrors are delicate, so it's imperative to be gentle when it's time to clean the surface of the glass. Never use an old, dirty rag. This can easily scratch up the glass if there are any abrasive particles or areas on the cloth. Using a soft, clean rag or paper towel works best.
Avoid using harsh cleaning agents
Using toxic cleaning agents that contain chlorine or ammonia can also damage the frame, so avoid using these. You can make a simple cleaning solution that works better than those toxic glass cleaners. Just combine equals part of warm water and dish soap. Even better, use M&T Glass Cleaner!
Avoid spraying cleaning agents directly on the mirror
Spraying cleaning agents directly on the glass surface of the mirror allows the cleaning product to drip down and seep in between the seams of the frame. This can end up damaging the backing of the frame over time. Always spray your cloth or paper towel when cleaning the surface.
Keep mirrors dry
For mirrors that are placed in the bathroom or any other space that experiences heat and moisture, this can make them deteriorate quickly if not maintained. Always try to ensure that rooms where mirrors are placed are well ventilated. Any "sweating" that may occur can end up damaging the mirror and frame over time so wipe mirrors down frequently, especially after a hot shower.
Always be diligent when hanging mirrors
If you're hanging a mirror on a wall, always ensure that there is sufficient support to handle the weight of the mirror. Check out this guide for hanging heavy mirrors.
Since mirrors are often a focal part of a room, they should be cared for and maintained properly. There are many common mistakes that homeowners perform when cleaning the mirror that can actually end up doing more harm than good. Avoid these mistakes by following these tips to keep you mirrors clean and looking great.

Parent Child Relationships With DIVs
From: Maurice Reeves
Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 13:40:00 -0400
Message-ID:
To: "DOM-Mail (E-mail)"
Cc: Andy Mansur , Dennis Shirk
I am seeking guidance on what seems like it's a browser bug, but is
displayed across many browsers:
I have created a dropdown menu using a DIV that contains a UL, which has
several LI contained within. The DIV display is set to 'none' until someone
MouseOvers an image. On the MouseOver I set the DIV's display to 'block'.
However, if set the DIV's display back to 'none' on the DIV's MouseOut
event, the minute it encounters the UL, it fires the MouseOut and the DIV
If I set the MouseOver of the UL to set the DIV's display to 'block', and
then MouseOver the LI, the DIV stays shown until I leave the UL.
Now it seems that even though the DIV is parent to the UL element, no
connection is maintained across events between them.
But with parent-child relationship between a UL and an LI, it maintains the
parent-child relationship across events.
My question is this:
Are both of these behaviors correct? Should the Parent-Child relationship
be maintained across all of the DIV's children between events, so that if
you are mousing over the UL (or any other HTML element. This behavior is
exhibited with A tags or TABLE, etc. UL just happened to be what I used)
which is a child of the DIV, it counts also as a MouseOver of the DIV? Or
should the currently maintained relationship between the UL and it's
children LI be severed?
Thanks in advance,
Maurice Reeves

"Richtung" is a noun used in the prepositional meaning of a movement or view into a direction.
Unlike directional prepositions (nach etc.), it concentrates solely on the act of moving (viewing) and its special direction.
"Richtung" can be preceded by the prepositions "in" (with accusative, to name the destination of the movement) and "aus" (dative, to name the starting point of the movement) and
its article "die/der". It has to be followed by a name word, substantive or subordinate clause.
In the latter case, "Richtung" keeps its substantive character and must be preceded by its article.
If a substantive follows, the article of this can in some cases be omitted.
Some rules for the use of the preposition and article before "Richtung" and
the article before a following substantive.
1) If a name word or a substantive used in its general meaning follows, "Richtung" can only be preceded by "in/aus". "In" can be omitted.
Wir kamen aus Richtung München.
Er ging (in) Richtung Autobahn.
2) If the article (or a possesive pronoun) is used to point on a specific substantive, "Richtung"
must be preceded by "in/aus", and the article can be inserted. The following substantive has the genitive.
Wir liefen in (die) Richtung des Feuers.
3) if a subordinate clause follows, "Richtung" must be preceded by preposition and article.
Sie sah in die Richtung, aus der die Schreie kamen.
All verbs describing some movement/view of the acting subject or objects used by the subject can be used in connection with "Richtung", like
- gehen, laufen, wandern, kommen etc.
- blicken, schauen, sehen; zeigen
"Richtung" emphasizes the movement and its direction. It should not be used if end point of the movement should be integrated in the expression. In this case, "nach", "zu", "in" or other prepositions are the right choice.
Let me know if I should add/clarify things. Please criticize if something is incorrect.

this is my investigation processed so far.could anyone pro have a look at my investigation to see if anything needs improving?
titile page: the effect of light intensity on the distribution of helice crassa.
Introduction: the ecological niche of Helice crassa: Helice crassa belongs to biological class Malacostraca(1). The helice crassa studied were found at Tohuna Torea estuary at the end of Riddel Road.they were usually found under the mud covered by the sea water,in dark damp conditions.so that they are not exposed to high light intensity.because they are prone to dessication.many adaptation features help them reduce the effect of dessication.these include:
1.helice crassa tend to move close to the dark place but move away from the light area. Because high light intensity is often associated with large amount of heat. –biology individual animal study helice crassa: mud crab Mary Melrose department of education Auckland 1988
2. Large pincers-this helps scoop up mud so that they can burrow to shelter from searing heat which is associated with high light intensity. the behaviour of two estuarine crab species by C.G..BEER, department of zoology,university of otago,new Zealand.(received by editior,April 15,1958)
3. the impermeable exoskeleton,strengthened with calcium carbonate,protects the crab from desiccation in air.
_URL_ htm#Helice
living under the mud often covered by the sea means cooler temperature,damp condition,low light intensity,im going to investigation the preferred light intensity of helice crassa which is the best light intensity which helps reduce the effect of dessication.
Aim: the purpose of this experiment is to find out wether or not the number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud changes with increasing light intensity.
Hypothesis: the number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud increases with increasing light intensity.
(reason:high light intensity is often associated with a large amount of heat, if an increasing number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud is found,then high light intensity would have an effect of the amount of dessication)
Null hypothesis: the number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud remains the same with increasing light intensity
(Reason: if high light intensity has no effect on the amount of desiccation then helice crassa will not show any responses to the increasing light intensity)
Equipment: 30 helice crassa.
3 ice cream containers
Paper to mark
Mud-6 cm deep(the same percentage of mud as well as sand)
Method: 1.go down the riddel road to collect 30 helice crassa.
2. Put mud (6 cm deep) into each ice cream container, the percentage of mud and sand remains constant in each ice cream container.
3.seperate 30 helice crassa into three groups with each group(10) put into each ice cream container.
3.cover the first ice cream container with a piece of wipe,then cover the second ice cream container with 2 pieces of wipe then the third ice cream container with 3 pieces of wipe.
4.measure the light intensity in each of the ice cream container.record light intensity in a table
5.after 5 minutes covered by the wipe, uncover it to count the number of helice crassa that has burrowed into the mud.
6.record the number of helice crassa burrowed into the mud against different light intensity.
according to the experiment with Helice crassa is looks well to me and the details too. you have te record all the changes and their etiology (crab's) and alos i think you have to read some more materials about physiology of crabs becsase they are different from other arthropods because the the chitina that they have allover their body. They stay in dark areas because they insticts sent them for protection.
I hope that i give an understanable answer.
Hi, I'm Karole, and I want to know what you mean by helice crassa is 'different from other arthropods because of the chitina'.
What is chitina? Do you mean chitin? And even so, don't all arthropods have it?
Also, is having chitin all over the body mean that the mud crabs have exoskeleton all over their body?
Is it a physiological adaptation? I'm looking for any physiological adaptations of helice crassa that reduces desiccation. By the way, I'm doing this research assignment for water content of the mud that helice crassa lives in.
im doing my research on the effects (on the weight of the helice crassa) of different salinities. i have searched everywhere but i cant find any general knowledge about the helice crassa and any adaptations of the crab related to the range of salinities and how it effects their weight, to help introduce my investigation. Any suggestions?

How to Adjust the Temperature on a Moen Anti-Scald Shower Faucet
Hunker may earn compensation through affiliate links in this story.
You can adjust the temperature on a Moen anti-scald shower faucet.
Image Credit: LOOK Photography/UpperCut Images/GettyImages
Moen is well known for its high-quality, affordable faucets for the kitchen and bath. The company offers a line of anti-scald faucets that allow the user to set and control the temperature of the shower to avoid accidentally turning water to uncomfortably hot temperature.
As the weather changes throughout the year, it may be necessary to change the settings on these anti-scald faucets. Although a hot water heater stays at a stable temperature, the incoming cold water to the house varies in temperature as seasons change, meaning these settings may have to be adjusted for winter and summer usage.
Adjusting Moen Faucet Water Temperature
The Moen Posi-Temp line for showers uses a pressure-balanced system to specifically control the temperature range; their Moentrol line has a similar application but lacks the precise control of the Posi-Temp.
These controls work by using (different) mechanisms to prevent the full opening of the hot water line. This protects the user from accidentally reaching uncomfortable and potentially dangerous hot temperatures in the shower.
Adjusting this mechanism changes the balance of hot and cold water, which adjusts the water temperatures accessible by the Moen anti-scald faucet. It isn't necessarily difficult to adjust this stop, although details vary, depending on the model of faucet in the shower.
Preparing the Faucet
First, purge the line of cold water. Open the Moen faucet handle to the hottest position and allow the water to run until hot. Shut off the water to the faucet using the supply valves; these are usually behind the shower wall.
If these aren't accessible, you may need to shut off water to the entire bathroom. Figure out the most appropriate access point and be sure the water is shut off by opening the faucet to let the line completely drain.
Next, remove the handle from the faucet. Depending on the model, the set screw for the handle may be hidden under a decorative cap; some set screws need a Phillips screwdriver, while others require an Allen wrench. Remove the set screw and pull the handle off the wall.
Adjusting the Set Point
With most models, the cartridge stop ring will be visible. Sometimes there is another screw that you will need to remove with a Phillips screwdriver. Beneath this you should find the limit stop ring, which you can pull out just enough to disengage with the teeth beneath.
To decrease the set temperature (for cooler water), turn the ring or knob counterclockwise. Small increments can make a big change, so turn less than a quarter-turn at first before checking the water temperature.
To increase the set temperature (for warmer water), turn the ring or knob clockwise a small increment. Insert the stop piece back into the sleeve.
Reassembly of the Faucet
Reinstall the outer piece and tighten the set screw. Slide the handle back onto the stem and secure its set screw in place. Turn the water supply back on, run the shower as normal and then test the temperature to make sure the adjustment is sufficient. Repeat steps as necessary until you find the perfect temperature range.
If the shower hasn't been used in a while and you're seeing only hot or only cold water, the entire cartridge may need to be replaced as the inner pieces can get stuck during nonuse. Try to run the shower at least once a week for at least five minutes to prevent this from happening.

Raymond Anthony Holman
Ray Holman was born 22 April 1944, Woodbrook, Trinidad. He began playing steel drums at 13, with the Invaders. A few years later at the age of 16 he began to arrange with Invaders Steel Orchestra and then went on to write his first piece of music "Ray's Saga" at age 17.
In 1964 at the age of 20, he became the youngest person ever to win the solo division of the "ping pong" competition (Liam Teague broke this record in 1992 aged 18).
His reputation as an arranger grew as he led several bands to Panorama victory. This success was partly due to his relentless search to redefine pans musical development.
In 1969 he introduced strumming cellos and guitars to create a new type of rhythm. More solo passages were included in Panorama arrangements and elements of jazz were used to give the music more lyrical lines.
He has been instrumental in influencing arrangers to compose and arrange their own music for the national Panorama competition. It is ironic that Lennox Sharpe, a former member of Starlift, was the first person to win Panorama with his own composition.
As well as being a great steelpan innovator, Ray is a graduate from the University of the West Indies and a teacher of Spanish and History.
In 1988 he was awarded the Hummingbird Silver Medal of Merit by the government of Trinidad and Tobago for his contributions to the culture of the nation. He was also a member of these bands: Starlift, Destination Tokyo, Pandemonium, Exodus, the Hummingbirds, and Phase II Pan Groove.
In 2013, the final year of Panorama in its present format, he took Junior Sammy Group Skiffle to fifth place.

Consider the Kovsh
These ornamental ladles are kovshi (singular: kovsh), a type of Russian drinking vessel in the shape of a duck. Traditionally, various vessels were intended for different beverages. Kovshi, which come in a range of sizes, were intended for drinking kvass or beer. They were also used for drinking mead, a honey based drink that varied in flavor from using different fruits and berries. Silver kovshi were used for white mead, while golden kovshi were used for red mead.
They were originally made of wood and some early kovshi were made of tightly woven cloth. In the 16th century, they began to be made in silver and increasingly assumed a ceremonial status. The kovshi in our collection are nineteenth and early twentieth century pieces of the Old Russian style, seen in the multicolored enameling inspired by sixteenth and seventeenth-century patterns. A yearning for a Russian art unmarred by Western influence contributed to what became the Russian Revival in the 1870s and 1880s. Interest in exploring early Russian artistic traditions provided craftsmen with a rich body of sources for creating beautiful, distinctly Russian works of art. Cloisonné enameling is but one example; another is trompe l'oeil, discussed in this blog post. While many such pieces were ornamental, a few could function as punch bowls or salts depending on their size.
These pieces illustrate how time and again the functional and artistic merits of the decorative arts can be appreciated both independently and harmoniously.

When you make a chart, Excel determines the scale of the Y-axis based on the numbers in your data set. If the range of your data (the difference between the highest and lowest numbers) is greater than 20% of the lowest number in your data set, then the Y-axis of your chart will go from zero to a number greater than the highest number in your chart. If the range of your data is less than 20% of the lowest number, then the Y-axis will not start at zero, but at a number slightly lower than the lowest number in your data set, like in the first chart at the top of this post.
In the two charts above, the first one uses the scale Excel assigned to it using the 20% rule. It illustrates the fluctuation in temperature over the course of the week (this is Austin's forecast for the week).
But sometimes you may not want the default scale and will need to change it. In the second chart, I adjusted the Y-axis so it starts at zero. Now it doesn't emphasize the fluctuation in temperatures, but it does show how far the nineties are from zero, and that this week is rather hot*.
You always have the option to change the scale of your chart to meet your needs.
Change the Y-Axis Scale
- Select your chart.
- On the Layout tab of the ribbon, click on the Axes button.
- Select Primary Vertical Axis.
- Select More Vertical Axis Options.
- In the Axis Options section, for Minimum, select Fixed and enter the lowest number you want on your Y-axis.
- For Maximum, select Fixed, and type the number where you want the Y-axis to end.
- Click Close.
Note: if you've already changed your axis and want to go back to Excel's defaults, select Auto, instead of Fixed and click Close.
* I realize that for some readers living in other parts of the world, the nineties are practically chilly. I hope you're reading this with an iced beverage and a fan. Or air conditioning.

Location of the province of Pisa
Pipework for geothermal power generation in Valle del Diavolo (Devil's Valley), Larderello.
Larderello is a frazione of the comune of Pomarance, in Tuscany in central Italy. It is a volcanically active area, renowned for its geothermal productivity.
The region has experienced occasional phreatic volcanic eruptions, caused by explosive outbursts of steam trapped below the surface. It possesses a dozen explosion craters 30-250 m in diameter. The largest is the Lago Vecchienna crater, now filled by a lake, which last erupted around 1282.
Larderello now produces 10% of the world's entire supply of geothermal electricity, amounting to 4,800 GWh per year and powering about a million Italian households. Its geology makes it uniquely conducive to geothermal power production, with hot granite rocks lying unusually close to the surface, producing steam as hot as 202 °C (396 °F).
The region was known from ancient times for its volcanic nature and exceptionally hot springs. The Romans used its sulphur springs for bathing.
Known as Montecerboli until the 19th century, it became one of the first places in the world where geothermal energy was exploited to support industry. In 1827 François de Larderel, a Frenchman, invented a way of extracting boric acid from the volcanic mud by using steam to heat cauldrons to separate the two. Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany was an enthusiastic supporter of Larderel's scheme and awarded him the title of Count of Montecerboli a decade later. A town, named Larderello in honour of Larderel's work, was founded to house the workers in the boric acid production factory. [1]
The region was the site of a pioneering experiment in the production of energy from geothermal sources in 1904, when five light bulbs were lit by electricity produced through steam emerging from vents in the ground - the first ever practical demonstration of geothermal power.
Prince Piero Ginori Conti tested the first geothermal power generator on 4 July 1904, at the Larderello dry steam field in Italy. It was a small generator that lit four light bulbs.[1] In 1911, the world's first geothermal power plant was built in the Valle del Diavolo ("Devil's Valley"), named for the boiling water that rises there. It was the world's only industrial producer of geothermal electricity until 1958, when New Zealand built a plant of its own in Wairakei. In recent years concerns have been expressed about the sustainability of its steam supply, as a 30% drop in steam pressure levels has been recorded from the maximum levels of the 1950s.

- Step 1: Pluck and comb Pluck or wax your eyebrows to the shape you want, and then comb them out with a mascara wand. Identify any bare spots.
- Step 2: Pencil in eyebrows Stroke your brows lightly with a soft pencil that is a shade or two lighter than the hair. Add more strokes to thinner areas, and follow the direction of growth.
- TIP: If your pencil is hard, warm the tip with your fingertips to soften it.
- Step 3: Brush on powder Dip the brush into the powder. Following the line of your brow, lightly brush the powder in short strokes onto the brow. The powder will stick to the pencil.
- TIP: Brush off stray flecks of powder with your fingertips, or use eye makeup remover to get rid of all traces.
- Step 4: Blend in color Carefully and lightly blend the brow color into your brow, so that you do not see any obvious powder or lines.
- Step 5: Brush Groom your eyebrows with a fine-tooth comb or a clean mascara brush.
- Step 6: Set eyebrows Fix your eyebrows in place by spraying a small amount of hair spray onto your finger and running it over your brows or with a small amount of alcohol-free hair gel.
- FACT: Did you know? Full eyebrows were so fashionable in 18th century Western Europe that some upper-class women affixed mouse hide to their foreheads.
You Will Need
- Tweezers or wax

Display hidden fields from grid in edit form as texts
There are situation where we need to display the fields in edit form as texts, without a need to update it – just for information. In this article I will explain how to achieve this.
In Guriddo jqGrid there is no build-in way to display certain fields in forms as text for information purposes. Fortunately we have a custom functions with which we can do this.
In this example we will use custom_element and custom_value in editoptions object. The another requirement is that the field should be hidden in grid, but displayed into the form. Below are the settings in colModel which will do this:
colModel: [
 label: 'Freigh',
 name: 'Freight',
 width: 150,
 hidden : true,
 editable: true,
 edittype: "custom",
 editoptions: {
 custom_value: getFreightElementValue,
 custom_element: createFreightTextElement
 editrules : { edithidden : true }
In order not to display the field in grid, but in edit form we need to set the hidden option to true and edithidden option to true in editrules object
Now the field should be defined as editable and tell that a custom edit will be applied. This is done with editable: true and edittype: "custom" options in colModel. When a custom edit type is used we need to define two functions in editoptions – custom_element, which is responsible for the creation of our element and custom_value which is responsible for the manipulation of the value for that element. Bello are our two functions.
function createFreightTextElement(value, editOptions) {
 return $(""+value+"");
function getFreightElementValue(elem, oper, value) {
 if (oper === "set") {
 if (oper === "get") {
 return $(elem).text();
As can be seen the function which creates the element createFreightTextElement create a simple span element and append the value in this element. The function getFreightElementValue set the value in form when we walk through the records with navigator buttons (oper = set) and return the value when we push the Submit button form (oper= get). In case if there is a no need to submit this value to the server a serrializeEditData event should be defined in order to remove this Element. Below is the code that do this.
 { edit: true, add: false, del: false, search: false, refresh: true, view: false, align: "left" },
 // edit form options
 closeAfterEdit: true,
 delete data['Freight'];
 return data;
That is all. The example can be seen in our demo page here
Kind Regards,

Selection and Visibility Controls in PowerPoint This is a feature introduced in PowerPoint 2007, but less widely-known than it should be. Click on any graphic object in a slide; the Drawing Tools tab will appear. Click on the tab, then click on Select at the far right of the ribbon. Finally, click on Selection Pane. The pane at the far right will open. If there is any object on the slide that you want to make invisible (perhaps because might want to reuse the slide, or a copy of it, with the same object made visible again), click on the eye icon to toggle the object between being visible and being hidden. You can also click on the automatically assigned name of any object and give it a more descriptive name to make the objects easier to manage.

We can obtain pure random (NOT pseudo-random) bytes from /dev/random. Linux kernel harnesses a good source of randomness from you. The random bytes in /dev/random is measuring based on the time delay between your input actions.
so seems /dev/random provided random bytes, we need to turn the bytes into an integer so that we could read. The simplest way is uses
od is a kind of object dump tools, we can specified how many btye to extract from a file, what is the type of output ( decimal, floating points, hexadecimal etc).
The example bellow shows the simple way of extract a 2 byte decimal integer using
od from /dev/random.
od -An -N2 -i /dev/random
-An is to turn off the address from displaying, -N specified number of bytes to extract, -i indicate display format is an integer.
Okay now what? Let say we want to create a file with random number as a file name with ".tmp" as the extension. I simply uses
touch to create a empty file.
touch 'od -An -N2 -i /dev/random'.tmp
Let say I want to have a random number within a range. Let say from 100 to 1000.
echo $(( 100+('od -An -N2 -i /dev/random' )%(1000-100+1) ))
It looks complicated, but actually it is not. To do a simple calculation at bash shell, you can put your equation in
The the formula for getting a random number in range is
min+( seed%(max - min + 1) ).
/dev/random provide quite number of bytes of random value, if you need even larger, you can obtain at /dev/urandom.


strong, weak, unowned - Reference Counting in Swift
This article explains Apple's memory management in Swift. Even if it gets handled mostly automatic there are still some pitfalls. Choosing the correct reference type to describe the relationship between objects help you to avoid memory leaks.
Automatic Reference Counting
Apple's implementation for automatic tracking and managing of memory usage is called. It automatically frees up the memory when objects aren't referenced anymore. To know which objects are still in use it tracks the relationship between objects by increasing and decreasing a reference count. Objects can only be deallocated when the reference count is zero. ARC only applies to instances of Classes. Structs, Enums and Value-Types are not passed by reference. This is a another great reason to use Structs instead of Classes whenever possible.
You'll find strong references almost everywhere in Swift because it's the default declaration of a property. This doesn't lead to a problem when you have a linear reference flow. When you deallocate the parent and decrease the retain count, all child get decreased as well. Here is an example of a strong reference:
The initialisation of the car object is wrapped in a do block. This creates a scope around it. At the end of the scope the object gets deallocated and everything is fine:
However it's possible to write code with a strong reference cycles between class instances. This modified version of the previous example shows a reference cycle:
The car object now also has an optional reference to an Owner and the Owner has an optional reference to a Car. The output is:
The strong reference cycle prevents the retain count to reach zero to get deallocated and free up the memory. To solve this issue we need weak references.
Unlike strong references weak don't increase the retain count by one. So they don't protect the object from being deallocated by the ARC. On deallocation the weak reference will be automatically set to nil. This is the reason why all weak references are mutating optional variables. Defining a constant as weak is not possible.
Let's take a look at the previous example. Using a weak reference between the car and owner helps to fix the deallocation:
Now ARC correctly deallocates all objects:
Unowned references behave similar to weak ones. They don't increase the retain count by one as well. Unlike weak references unowned don't have to be an Optional because they aren't automatically set to nil on deallocation. It's important that you only use unowned references when you really know that the object will never be nil once it has been set.
According to Apple it's best to use when your reference and the referenced code will be deallocated at the same time.
weak vs. unowned - an advice from Apple
Apple's automatic memory management doesn't prevent you from producing memory leaks. Non-linear strong references and reference cycles can prevent the retain count from reaching zero. The use of weak and unowned references help you to avoid this and keep your app memory in balance.

Word Origin and History for cinderous
Old English sinder "dross of iron, slag," from Proto-Germanic *sendra- "slag" (cf. Old Saxon sinder "slag, dross," Old Norse sindr, Middle Low German and Middle Dutch sinder, Dutch sintel, Old High German sintar, German Sinter), from PIE root *sendhro- "coagulating fluid" (cf. Old Church Slavonic sedra "cinder").
Initial s- changed to c- under influence of unrelated French cendre "ashes," from Latin cinerem (nominative cinis) "ashes," from or related to Greek konis "dust" (see incinerate). The French word also apparently shifted the sense of the English one to "small piece of burnt coal" (16c.). Volcanic cinder cone is recorded from 1849.

text: We propose an approach for estimating the probability that a given small target, among many, will be the first to be reached in a molecular dynamics simulation. Reaching small targets out of a vast number of possible configurations constitutes an entropic barrier. Experimental evidence suggests that entropic barriers are ubiquitous in biomolecular systems, and often characterize the rate-limiting step of biomolecular processes. Presumably for the same reasons, they often characterize the rate-limiting step in simulations. To the extent that first-passage probabilities can be computed without requiring direct simulation, the process of traversing entropic barriers can replaced by a single choice from the computed ("first-passage") distribution. We will show that in the presence of certain entropic barriers, first-passage probabilities are approximately invariant to the initial configuration, provided that it is modestly far away from each of the targets. We will further show that as a consequence of this invariance, the first-passage distribution can be well-approximated in terms of "capacities" of local sets around the targets. Using these theoretical results and a Monte Carlo mechanism for approximating capacities, we provide a method for estimating the hitting probabilities of small targets in the presence of entropic barriers. In numerical experiments with an idealized ("golf-course") potential, the estimates are as accurate as the results of direct simulations, but far faster to compute.

To examine these relationships, the project leaders conducted research at two elementary schools in southern California: Lugonia Elementary School in Redlands, and Inland Leaders Charter School in Yucaipa.
Pilot testing of spatial activities and assessments took place at Lugonia Elementary School during the spring of 2016. The purpose of that research was to fine tune the activities and assessments that would be used in the larger research study. A comparison-group study was conducted at Inland Leaders Charter School during the 2016-17 school year. The goal of this study was to gather data that could be used to explore relationships among spatial thinking skills, computational thinking abilities, and mathematical performance.
Two treatment classrooms in each K-5 grade at Inland Leaders Charter School implemented spatial thinking activities for approximately 30 minutes each day during the 2016-2017 school year.
Two control classrooms in each grade did not do the designated activities. The spatial activities included creating designs with manipulatives such as design blocks and tangrams, mapping classrooms and schoolyards, using a map to find treasures, and providing directions with coordinate systems. At the beginning and end of the school year, all students completed spatial and mathematics assessments. A spatial-computational thinking assessment was also piloted with K-2 students.
