What Is a Dripping Pan? + How to Clean It!
If you're a cook who likes a clean stove, grill, and oven, then you'll certainly love dripping pans.
As suggested by the name, a dripping pan is any container that catches the grease drippings of meat and poultry while it cooks.
Read on to find out everything you need to know about dripping pans.
What Is a Dripping Pan?
A dripping can refer to different kinds of pans. The first one is a metal pan that is typically fixed under the burner found in a gas or electric stovetop.
Another type of dripping pan is a large metal pan that you can place underneath a baking sheet when baking something in the oven.
This is the pan that will prevent the food from bubbling over and sticking to the sides and bottom of your oven.
It will also prevent the food from catching fire. Finally, grills also come with dripping pans that can catch grease drippings so that they don't affect your floor or coals.
Broiling pans also have a dripping pan that collects the fat and juices that drip off the meat and poultry.
Let's learn a bit about each type of dripping pan:
Stove Dripping Pan
Each burner on an electric stove has a dripping pan. Typically, your stove will come with attached dripping pans.
However, you need to replace these pans after every 6 months or one year. This is because food tends to burn and stick to these dripping pans, making cleaning difficult.
You can easily find them in most kitchen stores and are fairly affordable. You can also replace them quite easily.
These dripping pans are most commonly available in silver and black hues since these colors are better at hiding grease. You must also wash these dripping pans regularly to prevent food particles from accumulating on them.
Dripping Pans for Ovens
These types of drip pans are used in ovens to prevent food from overflowing onto the walls of your oven. These pans are specifically useful when baking dishes such as casseroles.
This is because they can bubble over and cause a sticky mess that will be difficult to clean up.
Food that you put under the broiler or in a roasting pan will also drip over in your oven if you don't use a dripping pan.
These dripping pans are commonly made of aluminum and are disposable.
You can also place a larger baking sheet under your casserole dish to catch the drips. Shallow and light cookie sheets also act as great dripping pans.
Using a dripping pan helps you decrease your post-cooking cleanup time. You can simply throw away the disposable pan.
Even if your pan is not disposable, you can wash it instead of scrubbing the inside of your oven.
Dripping Pans for Grills
Charcoal and gas grills also feature dripping pans. As mentioned earlier, these pans catch grease drippings that can potentially damage your patio or deck if they fall to the ground.
They are typically used when roasting or grilling food, such as ribs and roast.
These pans are typically larger than the ones available for ovens. They are made of aluminum and are quite easy to adjust inside the grill. You must remove and clean these dripping pans regularly.
This will help prevent any grease buildup. If you need to replace your pan, opt for a metal one instead of plastic. This is because plastic will easily melt if it comes into contact with hot grease.
What Is the Purpose of a Dripping Pan?
Dripping pans have many purposes. The first and most obvious one is to collect the drippings from ducks, ribs, and other fatty foods.
You can also use dripping pans for indirect grilling. Simply put the aluminum pan between the mounds of hot coal under your grate.
Then, fill it with water, herbs, wine, beer, marinades, and other flavorful liquids. Put your roast or ribs on the grill.
The liquids in the dripping pan will evaporate into palatable steam. This hot steam will slow-cook the meat and add mouthwatering flavors to it.
It will also ensure that the meat or poultry remains succulent during prolonged cooking.
You can also add all sorts of veggies, such as onions, potatoes, and celery into the mix as well.
The grease drippings from the poultry or meat will create a delectable mix of flavors that you can use with your food. When using a dripping pan for indirect cooking, just make sure that it doesn't dry out.
This will burn all your precious gravy. Simply add more hot water to the pan so that the liquid is at least an inch or two deep.
This will keep the food succulent as well. Furthermore, make sure to keep checking the pan during the slow-cooking process.
You can also use a dripping pan to collect the flavorful juices and fats from meat and poultry. You can then use these juices to make delicious stocks and sauces.
These pans are also used to prevent oil from coating coals and water during indirect cooking with water pans.
How to Clean a Dripping Pan with Stubborn Grease Buildup
When grease starts to accumulate on the dripping pan, it becomes a fire hazard. This is why you must clean your dripping pans regularly.
Here are the steps that you can follow to clean a dripping pan with stubborn grease buildup:
 1. Let the dripping pan cool completely and then remove it from the grill, stove, or oven.
 2. Submerge the dirty pan in your sink in hot water and let it soak completely for about 10 minutes.
 3. Drain the dirty water from your sink and pour some distilled white vinegar over the pan. This will help get rid of the baked-on food particles and stubborn grease.
 4. Let the pan sit in the vinegar for about 30 minutes.
 5. Sprinkle some baking soda on top of the vinegar.
 6. Let it sit for a minute or two and then use your fingers to rub it into the burnt-on crust.
 7. Allow the baking soda and vinegar blend to sit on the surface of the pans for at least 15 minutes. During this time, the burn residue will start to flake away from your dripping pan.
 8. After the designated time, drain the vinegar and baking soda mixture and use hot water to rinse your pan.
 9. Apply some more baking soda on the surface of the pan and rub it into the remaining stains as thoroughly as possible.
 10. Rinse the pan with hot water once again and use a towel to dry it thoroughly.
When Should You Change Your Dripping Pan?
You must change your dripping pan at least once a year. This is because when a drip pan is dirty with stubborn grease buildup, it becomes a safety hazard.
The biggest risk comes from the toxic fumes that can accumulate on the pan if you don't clean it regularly.
Burned meat juices and fat can be harmful to your health as well.
This is why you must remove your pan from the oven or grill when it's cool enough and clean it thoroughly. You can use hot soapy water to clean the fat drippings.
If the pan is too dirty, then you need to replace it. However, just be careful to find the perfect sized pan for your oven and grill. This is because an ill-fitted pan is also a fire hazard.
Difference between a Dripping Pan and a Water Pan
Many people confuse dripping pans with water pans. Dripping pans are typically placed right under your food to catch any grease or fat run-off.
This prevents the fat from hitting the flames and coals and reduces the risk of flareups.
Meanwhile, water pans sit directly on top of your heat source. Their primary function is to generate moisture and steam to prevent your meat from drying out.
You can also place a dripping pan above your water pan to prevent grease from hitting the water. This will ensure that the water continues to evaporate and keeps the meat succulent.
As mentioned earlier, you can also use a dripping pan for this purpose.
However, a water pan typically contains only water, while a dripping pan can contain a delicious concoction of liquids, which are used to add flavor to the food.
The Bottom Line
A dripping pan is a large pan that is typically made of metal and is used to prevent food drippings from bubbling over.
These pans are usually used to cook messy foods such as meats that have a lot of fat in them. You can also use them when baking dishes that bubble over and create a mess in your oven.
Typically, these pans are a part of electric stoves, gas and electric ovens, and gas grills. However, you can also use disposable dripping pans in your oven and grill.
You can easily find metal and plastic pans that will catch all the food drippings and prevent a mess.

Polish WWII massacre film causes shockwaves
In partnership with
Polish film Poklosie or Aftermath is a dramatisation of the massacre of more than 340 Polish Jews at Jedwabne in 1941.
It has caused shockwaves and soul searching throughout the country.
It tells the story of a Polish man who returns to his home village and finds himself reluctantly drawn into uncovering what happened there during the Nazi occupation.
He discovers that, at the instigation of the Nazis, local people – including his own father – had herded Jewish villagers into a building, burned them to death, and then taken over their houses.
Opponents of the film argue it discredits Poland by creating the impression that such events were the norm in wartime. Some have accused the actors of slandering their country. One, Maciej Stuhr, has even received death threats.

What is the potential of the ecosystem metaphor in agricultural and food industry systems?
The scavengers and decomposers in ecosystems are presented as metaphors for agricultural and food industry systems' sustainability. These organisms of ecosystems can both take in wastes from other organisms as well as produce materials for them to use. We argue that the metaphor is beneficial for considering the physical flows of matter and energy in economic systems as it can yield models with which a vision of a more sustainable material and energy flow system can be constructed. But the difference of ecosystems and economic systems is so radical that the metaphor can only be used as a source of inspiration for simulations and future scenarios, not for giving practical and concrete design, management or policy objectives and action-proposals. Our analysis reveals that the metaphor cannot be used to study the human dimension or the societal context of the material and energy flows. The human dimension is critically important to achieve a real change toward sustainability in environmental policy, corporate environmental management and corporate social responsibility.

You can boot your Neo FreeRunner in the following ways:
- You can power it up into an Openmoko image directly (default, when powered-on for the first time).
- You can boot it into the U-Boot bootloader via NAND Flash.
- You can boot it into U-Boot via NOR Flash.
Booting the device into NAND and NOR Flash allows you to update the kernel and root filesystem.
Start the Openmoko Image
Press and hold Power button for about 8 seconds, until the Openmoko splash screen turns up. You may now release the Power button and the Neo FreeRunner will continue to boot into the Openmoko Image.
Log into U-Boot in the NAND Flash
- Press and hold Power button
- Then while still pressing the Power button, press and hold AUX button for 5 to 8 seconds.
- A boot menu will appear. This indicates the NAND flash has booted.
- Press the AUX button to select one of the options and then press the Power button to execute.
Log into U-Boot in the NOR Flash
This option is usually used by developers or when flashing (imaging) the FreeRunner.
- Press and hold the AUX button
- While still pressing the AUX button, press and hold the Power button.
- Then release the AUX button (not required?)
- You should see the boot menu for the NOR Flash. This means you have entered the NOR flash.
Flashing can be performed when the NOR boot menu is active.
There are six options you can choose when you log into the NOR Flash.
- Boot from MicroSD
- Set console to USB
- Set console to Serial
- Power off
If you cannot log into U-Boot in NAND flash then you can log into U-Boot in the NOR flash either.
|| NOTE: The term Logging in used in this context means to turn on the device using the described method, and leaving it at the U-Boot menu. To avoid the device automatically booting, tap the AUX key to move the selector bar. Note also that the device will not automatically turn off while flashing is in progress.

WipeIn film editing, a wipe is a gradual spatial transition from one image to another. One image is replaced by another with a distinct edge that forms a shape. A simple edge, an expanding circle, or the turning of a page are all examples.
It is often aknowledged that using a wipe, rather than a simple cut or dissolve is a stylistic choice that inherently makes the audience more "aware" of the film as a film, rather than a story. For example, George Lucas is famous for the sweeping use of Wipes in his Star Wars films, which help evoke a kinship to old serialized pulp sci-fi novels and serials.

Elijah J. McCoyBorn May 2, 1843? at Colchester, Ontario; died October 10, 1929
Elijah McCoy was born to George McCoy and Mildred Goins, both runaway slaves from Kentucky who came via the underground railway to Colchester, Ontario.
The McCoy family returned to the United States while Elijah was very young and settled in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
At age 15 years, Elijah was sent to Edinburgh, Scotland to study mechanical engineering.
He returned to the United States after his studies. The only job he could get was as a fire man or coal man on a Michigan train line, despite his educational qualifications.
During this job, McCoy invented and patented his Improvements on Lubricators for Steam Engines in 1872 in the United States.
In 1874 Improvements on Lubricators for Steam Engines was patented in Canada.
The expression "the real McCoy," which refers to an original or real item versus an inferior imitation, supposedly originated with Elijah McCoy.
Ties to Canada: Elijah's father, George McCoy, reputedly returned to Canada and enlisted in the militia to put down the Red River Rebellion of 1870. It is also suggested that George received land in Canada for serving in the militia.

Possession: A Romance
A. S. Byatt
Possession is a rich, layered novel featuring both a romance between two Victorian-era poets, and present-day relationships between academics who have made their careers as experts on the poets' lives. Roland Michell is a kind of perpetual student, researching the life of Randolph Henry Ash. Maud Bailey is established in her career with a university's women's studies center; her specialty is the poet Christabel LaMotte. When the book opens, Roland has made an interesting discovery indicating Ash may have had a relationship with a woman other than his wife. His inquiry leads him to Maud. Together they assemble a picture of a romance between Ash and LaMotte, which turns prevailng academic opinion upside-down. Others begin to pursue the prize and the associated professional glory.
Byatt employs several creative devices to develop the characters and tell the story. Ash and LaMotte's relationship is reconstructed primarily through artifacts (letters, journals) obtained by Roland and Maud. Byatt "reproduces" them in their entirety so the reader feels like part of the research team. The romantic storyline also unfolds from several points of view, with each person having only a partial picture. The reader can see it all. And as the Victorian mystery is solved, the lives of present-day characters become increasingly interconnected. Byatt concludes the novel by tying up several threads and adding a quite satisfying postscript. ( )

This spring, a fascinating new exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery
will explore the versatile and beautiful drawing medium of red chalk. Comprising some 35 works from the Gallerys world-class collection, Red Chalk: Raphael to Ramsay will showcase a diverse range of exquisite drawings by distinguished artists, such as Peter Paul Rubens, Salvator Rosa, Jean-Antoine Watteau, Francois Boucher and David Allan. The display will feature works which, due to their delicate nature are rarely on show, as well as a number of drawings being exhibited for the first time.
Red chalk was first used for drawing on paper in late-15th century Italy. Chalk is a naturally occurring mineral, quarried directly from the earth then cut into drawing sticks which can be hand-held or chipped into a point and set into a holder. Drawing chalk can also be made, using ground up natural chalk mixed with water to form a paste then rolled into drawing sticks. This display will highlight the ways in which artists have, over the centuries, exploited the unique nature of red chalk to produce an array of dazzling and distinctive effects that cannot be achieved with any other drawing medium.
The earliest drawing on display, and a highlight of the show, will be Raphaels Study of a Kneeling Nude. This beautiful life-study was made in about 1518 and is a preparatory drawing for one of a series of Raphaels painted frescos. The delicately drawn figure reveals not only the artists phenomenal skill as a draughtsman, but also his meticulous preparation for each composition.
Rosas powerful and arresting mid-17th century drawing, Head of a Bearded Man, is a fantastic example of red chalk being used to produce a highly expressive finished drawing, intended as a piece of art in its own right. A sheet of figurative studies by the influential Baroque draughtsman Pompeo Girolamo Batoni (170887), reveals the incredible precision and control that can be achieved with red chalk, whilst Rubens Four Women Harvesting from c.1630 demonstrates how effectively chalk can be used for rapid sketching, with the simplest and most minimal strokes.
Red chalk experienced a surge in popularity with French artists in the 18th century. Drawings in the display by Watteau and Boucher will showcase how the medium was used by artists of the Rococo period to produce highly decorative and elegant drawings. Studies by Fragonard and Hubert will also provide superb examples of red chalk being chosen as a useful medium for highly evocative depictions of the landscape.
Other highlights will include a preparatory study by Guercino for his monumental oil painting of Erminia Finding the Wounded Tancred (currently displayed in the main gallery), and the Scottish portrait painter Allan Ramsays iconic drawing from 1776 of his second wife, Margaret Lindsay. The show will also include works by artists David Allan, William Delacour and Archibald Skirving to illustrate how the medium was adopted in Scotland.
Whether used to draw a detailed study from nature, a summary sketch or a highly polished finished drawing, red chalk is an enduringly popular, richly expressive and unique medium for draughtsmen. Red Chalk: Raphael to Ramsay will showcase the breadth and variety of the Gallerys drawings collection whilst providing a wonderful opportunity to see beautiful and accomplished drawings by a selection of our most admired artists.

Neural network-based sensorless direct power control of permanent magnet synchronous motor
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2016
In this paper, a sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive was presented based on direct power control (DPC) technique. To estimate the rotor's position and speed of PMSM, a drastic sensorless strategy was developed according to artificial neural network (ANN) to reduce the cost of the drive and enhance the reliability. The proposed sensorless scheme was an innovative model reference adaptive system (MRAS) speed observer for DPC control PMSM drives. The suggested MRAS speed observer employed the current model as an adaptive model. The ANN was then designed and trained online by employing a back propagation network (BPN) algorithm. Performance of the proposed strategy was adopted using simulation analysis. The results showed the fast dynamic response, low ripples in motor's currents, power, and electromagnetic torque, as well as good performance in tracking speed and power references.

I was reading the paper on SMA*+, which is very interesting as it implements most improvements I thought of when reading the paper on SMA*. But I have 3 questions that I think are related to my misunderstanding of the cost evaluation of the re-generated nodes.
Can there be some memory saved by not fully expanding a node immediately?
The third paragraph of section 4:
Unlike SMA*, SMA*+ fully expands a node each iteration, instead of adding only one successor to the open list every iteration. While adding one successor at a time may seem more efficient, the overhead required to determine which successor to add, adds unnecessary complexity and decreases performance with minimal memory advantage.
Maybe in this context "minimal" is a euphemism to mean "none" and I'm just arguing semantics here. But if taken literally, I actually don't see a case with a memory gain in adding one successor at a time.
I mean, if the heuristics is admissible, then every successor $n_i$ of a node $b$ has a higher $f$-cost: $f(b) \le f(n_i)$. And since we're expanding $b$, we know it already has the lowest $f$-cost of all the open nodes. Therefore we won't switch to expanding another node, and thus SMA* will always fully expand a node once it started, no matter what.
Or did I miss something that might make the progressive expansion worth it in some cases?
Does SMA* store its children when they are removed?
The SMA*+ paper says in section 4:
The original SMA* makes similar progress by keeping removed nodes in memory, until their parent is removed.
Which is think is surprising. When I read the algorithm in the SMA* paper section 3.1 I see:
Procedure BACKUP(n):
 if n is completed and has a parent then
 f(n) <- least f-cost of all its successors
 if f(n) changed, BACKUP(parent(n)).
I think it means that it stores only the least $f$-cost of all its successors. Not the successor nodes, not even one $f$-cost per successor.
Do I misunderstand the way SMA* recomputes the $f$-cost of the regenerated successor nodes?
Why do we need to set $f(n) \leftarrow max(f(b), g(n) + h(n))$?
In SMA* I thought this was needed because we forgot the actual value of $f(n)$ when pruning it. Therefore we underestimate its value by using $f(b)$ (the cost of its predecessor) which is either set to the minimum $f$-cost of all its pruned successors or its natural value which is also less than the $f$-score of its successors if the heuristic is admissible. Then we use $max$ to ensure the $f$-cost is non-decreasing along the way, which I guess would mean that the heuristic was non-admissible.
But here, in SMA*+, we store the $f$-cost of all the children, so why do we still need this $max$?

Excelling in college courses usually requires a different kind of studying than students did in high school. In order to excel, itís critical for students to understand the difference between studying and learning. One of the best ways to make sure that students are learning, and not just studying, is to introduce the concept of metacognition. This workshop walks students through the basics of metacognition. Using language that students will understand, the expert presenter explains how this concept can be integrated into study strategies and ultimately how it can help students move up Bloomís Taxonomy from lower level to higher level learning.
Students will learn:
- The difference between studying and learning
- The basics of metacognition
- How to use metacognition when studying
- The study cycle learning strategy
- How this study cycle can help you move to higher learning levels

When you kiss your sweetheart this Valentine's Day you may well turn your head to the right, echoing a preference born in the womb, a researcher suggests.
Onur Guentuerkuen of Ruhr-University Bochum in Bochum, Germany, reports that he spied on 124 pairs of adults who turned their heads left or right while kissing on the lips in public places in Germany, Turkey and the United States.
Two-thirds of the kissers went to the right, he found.
Prior research has found that babies also tend to turn their heads to the right rather than the left during their final weeks of gestation and for the first six months after birth, Guentuerkuen says in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.
So the results on kissing show that early head-turning bias may affect behavior in adulthood, he says. People also prefer to use the right foot, ear and eye by about two-to-one, suggesting those behavioral biases may be related, he said.
But right-handedness dominates the population far more, about eight-to-one, so that's either not related or it's affected by cultural influence, he said.
The researcher watched kissing couples in airports, railroad stations, beaches and parks. He estimated their ages at around 13 to around 70.

Thrusts are hand attacks when some part of the hand (such as two-fingers, palm, or middle knuckles) is jabbed into the opponent in a linear motion, usually to specific targets (such as eyes or solar plexus). Power comes from hip snap and driving off ball of trailing foot. There are three types of delivery:
- A snapping whip-crack motion.
- Pushing off an incoming attack with a thrusting motion.
- Combining the whip-crack and push-through. This is used when breaking boards to leave the first board intact while breaking the others.
All the thrusts start from the hands and arms being held in a basic guard position: Hands in fists held just below cheekbones with palms toward face, with forearms almost vertical.
Spear Hand Thrust
It is usually used to the solar plexus or other soft body tissues. To make a proper spear hand:
- Hold arm straight out in front of the body with hand held flat (palm down) with fingers straight and together with thumb sticking out.
- Slightly bend fingers so the first three fingertips are even and held tightly together. Stiffen the fingers.
- Bend thumb and keep it tucked close to the hand.
- The point of impact is with the tips of the fingers.
- Deliver spear hand with thumb upward against the solar plexus, with palm upward against the solar plexus and floating ribs, or with palm downward against the groin or face.
- Palm downwards thrust against the throat is deadly if delivered in the same way as a jab.
- Spear hand is largely ineffective against well-muscled or bony targets unless it is well forged. Achieve this by repeatedly thrusting fingers into cardboard boxes and then into a bucket of dried peas, sand, or pebbles.

How Noisy is Your College Campus?
Ranking College Campus Noise
Just how loud is your college campus? No, we are not talking about your neighbors. We are asking the question in a broader sense to determine how loud a college campus gets given its geographic location. Whether you are thinking about attending a state university or private college, understanding the noise levels in your community will help you better navigate life in and around campus.
The Data Behind the Noise
The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) recently published an interactive map answering the very question at hand. The map uses a 24-hour equivalent sound level noise metric that includes all overt and ambient noise at a defined noise receptor. The noise levels shown on the map denote an approximate average noise energy produced from road transportation and aviation along with other noise-producing modalities. The interactive map data is culled from a number of different government agencies from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to the FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) to triangulate noise for a given locale.
Which city was ranked highest for noise?
If you guessed the city with the highest noise rating was Los Angeles, you would be correct. The map below gives users a quick overview of the greater Los Angeles area where the deep red hue indicates the highest levels of noise. According to NPR, Los Angeles was ranked first in the nation for traffic congestion resulting in an additional 170 hours spent sitting in traffic.
How Noisy is Your College Campus?
Noise energy created in and around Los Angeles California.
One of the next highest areas of noise is around New York. The map below illustrates the noise levels for various parts of the city given the aggregated information from various government agencies.
Noise energy created in and around New York.
Noise index for the greater New York area.
How much noise does your college campus generate?
To find out, simply utilize the USDOT's interactive map to help figure out the noise energy being produced in and around your campus. A noise index can be used by current and prospective college students to assess variables involved in their college experience. Much like the utilization of a WalkScore, the USDOT's interactive noise map is another tool available at your disposal.

Air Abrasion
Treating cavities and tooth decay without a drill!
How Does Air Abrasion Work?
Instead of using a drill to remove tooth decay or cavities, air abrasion uses instead a tool that works like a mini sandblaster. The instrument is designed to spray a fine stream of particles, made of silica, aluminum oxide, or a baking soda mixture, at the decay. These particles are compressed into a gas that is run through the handpiece. As the particles hit the tooth surface, they gently remove the small particles of decay on the tooth surface and the particles are suctioned away.
Is it Safe?
Yes, air abrasion is safe. As a safety precaution, protective eye wear must be worn to protect from stray particles. Also, a protective rubber dam may be used to protect your gums and nearby teeth from the spray.
What are the Advantages?
Compared to the traditional drilling method of treating tooth decay, air abrasion has many advantages.
 - Air abrasion generates no heat, no sound, no pressure, and no vibration.
 - Air abrasion reduces the need for anesthesia. If the cavity being treated is shallow, there may be no need for anesthesia at all!
 - Air abrasion preserves more of the healthy tooth structure than traditional drilling.
 - Air abrasion reduces the risk of fracturing or chipping the tooth.
 - Air abrasion is relatively simple and quick, making time in the dental chair faster!

New research shows that dolphins can stay awake for at least 15 days in a row without experiencing fatigue, or other negative side effects.
To put this in perspective, human research subjects have been able to stay awake for only eight to 10 days, and all experienced progressive deterioration in concentration, motivation, perception and other mental processes as the period of sleep deprivation increased.
Dolphins can stay awake for this long because they sleep with only half of their brain at a time. This process, called unihemispheric sleep, was thought to have evolved as a way to allow dolphins to continue breathing at the surface while resting.
Brian Branstetter from the National Marine Mammal Foundation and colleagues studied two bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), one male and one female, and found that they could use echolocation with "near-perfect accuracy" for up to 15 days. Both dolphins showed no signs of fatigue for five days, and the female continued other tasks for 10 additional days.
"These majestic beasts are true unwavering sentinels of the sea. The demands of ocean life on air breathing dolphins have led to incredible capabilities, one of which is the ability to continuously, perhaps indefinitely, maintain vigilant behavior through echolocation" said Branstetter.
The research was published in the journal PLoS ONE on October 17: Dolphins Can Maintain Vigilant Behavior through Echolocation for 15 Days without Interruption or Cognitive Impairment.

Halfway Home – The Rehabilitation of New Zealand Second World War POWs in Britain
While suffering through monotony and deprivations, New Zealand Second World War POWs mentally escaped their confines by imagining their eventual return home. They envisaged returning to a world free from the woes of captivity and war. This paper examines their rehabilitation in Britain. While Britain was not New Zealand, the prisoners expected it to conform to their idealised version of home. However, this paper argues prisoners experienced difficulties during their rehabilitation, and they were destabilised when confronted with the continued presence of the war and captivity.

Dog Dry Heaving or Gagging? Try One of These (Home) Remedies
Last Updated: April 22, 2020
For the most part, occasional vomiting is not something to worry about. Dogs vomit all the time because they ate too fast or ingested something their stomach didn't agree with. Usually, it's a one-off thing and your pup will feel better after releasing the contents of their stomach.
If you're a dog owner, you probably already know what to expect when this occurs. Most dogs even learn to ask to go outside, so you can anticipate these occurrences.
But what if your dog starts dry heaving regularly?
sick Dog Dry Heaving
Dry heaving is similar to vomiting. Dogs make the same wretching noise and look like they're trying to push something out of their belly. The difference, however, is that nothing comes out.
It can be an alarming thing to witness. This is especially true if it occurs suddenly and frequently. Heaving can be a sign of something serious. So, it's important to understand how to identify the signs and what you can do to provide relief.
Here are the most common causes of dry heaving in dogs and what you can do to prevent it from happening.
 5 Common Causes of Dry Heaving in Dogs
1. Heaving Due to Illness
Yes, your canine companion can get the sniffles every once in a while. If your dog has spent some time around other pups, there's a good chance they caught a contagious illness. Some of the most common are Bordetella and Distemper.
Distemper is airborne, making it easy to spread. When your dog catches it, they may start to cough repeatedly. The heaving may also be accompanied by a high fever and yellowish discharge from their eyes and nose.
The good news is that distemper doesn't usually get that serious. Symptoms can subside on their own with a bit of loving care. To prevent future problems, you can get an annual vaccination that keeps your dog protected from the illness.
Bordetella, also known as kennel cough, is another contagious disease. Dogs can get it when kept in confined spaces with other canines. In addition to coughing, it causes dogs to feel lethargic. The coughs are dry, which is what often causes the heaving.
Like distemper, your dog should start to feel better on their own after a few days.
2. Parasitic Infections
It might be a little gross to think about, but parasitic infections are quite common in dogs. The most innocuous thing, such as a single flea, can cause a major infection that affects your pup's entire body!
Roundworms are the most common. Dogs can become infected by licking soil that's contaminated with eggs. These tiny pests can make their way to your pup's lungs and windpipe. It's that constant tickling of worms that causes dry heaving.
Tapeworms may also be the culprit. Dogs can get tapeworm by ingesting an infected flea. While these usually latch onto your dog's intestines to steal nutrients, they have been known to cause a persistent cough.
heartworm in heart
Finally, there's heartworm. Heartworms can be deadly if left untreated. They can migrate through your dog's heart and lungs to wreak havoc. Like roundworms, they can get into your pup's throat and cause dry heaving.
Luckily, parasitic infections are treatable and preventable. For round or hookworms, you don't even need to visit a vet. You can stop by your local pet supermarket and pick up deworming products to get the job done.
They kill the parasites within a couple of days, finally providing your pup with the relief they are after.
Heartworms require a bit more intensive care from a veterinarian. However, you can get monthly heartworm preventatives to ensure that your pup will never have to deal with those parasites again.
3. Foreign Objects in the Airways
Dogs have a penchant for getting into things they aren't supposed to be messing with. They love to chew on small toys, bits of plastic, and pretty much anything else they can get their paws on. Unfortunately, all of those small items pose a significant choking hazard.
You'd be surprised by how many dogs have to get things removed from their throat a year. The heaving is your dog's attempt to dislodge whatever's stuck in their throat on their own. Depending on the size and placement of the item, your dog may be having issues breathing.
It's imperative that you bring your pooch to the vet as soon as possible. Attempting to dislodge the item on your own is risky. If it's an accessible place in their mouth, you may be able to remove it. However, deeper items in the throat require the expert hands of a professional.
Foreign objects can damage the lining. Plus, you run the risk of pushing the item further into their throat and blocking air altogether. It's best to leave this task to the vet.
4. Blocked Air Passages
Your dog might also be dry heaving because of a non-foreign object blocking their airways. For example, your pup could have a tumor in their throat. Tumors aren't always cancerous, so don't panic just yet.
However, they do need to be surgically removed. Tumors can affect breathing and eating, so it's best to take care of them as soon as possible.
Tonsilitis and Pharyngitis can affect breathing, too. These conditions cause swelling of the glands in the back of the throat. The inflammation prevents air from flowing freely. They can also trigger your dog's gag reflex, which causes dry heaving.
5. Bloat
Now, let's move on to the most serious cause of dry heaving in dogs. Bloat, also known as Gastric Dilation and Volvulus, is a potentially fatal condition that doesn't take long to affect dogs.
While bloating in humans is nothing more than a discomfort, the issue is very dangerous in dogs. With GDV, the stomach fills with air and expands rapidly. This causes the stomach to twist and cut off its own blood supply.
Typically, dry heaving is done by dogs in an attempt to let some gas escape. Unfortunately, the twisting of the stomach prevents this from happening.
GDV requires immediate emergency care. Dry heaving is usually accompanied by lethargy, a tender abdomen, labored breathing, and increased heart rate.
Remedies to Prevent Bloat
Bloat can be caused by several things. More often than not, it's contributed to poor eating habits. Dogs who eat a large amount of food in a short amount of time are at a very high risk of bloat. That's because they tend to take in more air than normal as their gobbling down their kibble.
If dogs start running around and playing after they eat, their risks increase as well. Some breeds are also more prone to suffering from bloat than others.
Deep-chested dogs, such as German Shepherds, Great Danes, and Labrador Retrievers, are automatically at a higher risk because of the structure of their internal organs.
Older dogs tend to experience it more as well. While the condition is largely associated with physical activity, genetics may come into play as well. If the dog's parents had a history of GDV episodes, there's a good chance that the child will too.
There are many simple remedies that you can do to prevent bloat and dry heaving. These changes are cheap and can help you be proactive about the issue. It's important to note that these remedies will not treat GDV itself.
If your dog starts exhibiting the signs of the condition, you'll need to visit a vet immediately.
Invest in a Slow Feeder
Dogs get excited about mealtime. There's no way to stop that! However, you can make it more difficult for the pup to swallow food whole!
Slow feeders are unique dishes that contain deep pits and thick grooves. The food falls into these hard-to-reach spots, forcing your pup to slow down if they want to eat.
You can also consider feeding your dog with food dispensing toys that require a bit of work to get into. Whatever you choose, the goal is to create an obstacle your dog has to work around.
Don't worry, they'll still be able to eat. However, they will be forced to take their time and swallow less air in the process.
Limit Activity for Half an Hour
It's important to keep your dog calm and contained for at least 30 minutes after a meal. This can be difficult because the sudden influx of calories creates a lot of energy your pup wants to get rid of.
You may need to invest in a crate or dog gate to stop your dog from running around. Alternatively, you can just change your attitude.
Treat mealtime as calm time. Wait for half an hour to give the food some time to settle before you go outside to take a walk.
Stick to a Feeding Schedule
Free-feeding isn't recommended for dogs susceptible to bloat. Having free reign of all that food is just a recipe for disaster. Stick to a feeding schedule with small portions.
It's better to break their daily calorie requirements into two or three meals a day rather than feeding it all at one time. This prevents bloat as well as excessive weight gain.
No one knows your dog better than you. So, keep an eye on them when they start dry heaving and take the necessary actions to provide relief as soon as possible. Once the episode has subsided, consider changing your dog's lifestyle a bit to prevent future problems from

Imagine that I have a truncated icosahedron consisted of 60 vertices, each of degree $deg(v) = 3$, and fixed edge length $L$. I'd like to assign some constant curvature or bending angle $\theta$ to each edge s.t. I can deform the icosahedron into its circumscribing sphere.
As a function of the edge length $L$, what value of $\theta$ allows me to properly perform this deformation?
share|improve this question
I don't understand how you're using the "bending angle" to deform the icosahedron. Are you looking for the angle $\theta$ that each edge makes with the circumscribing sphere? – anon Jul 17 '11 at 23:49
_USER_, sorry for the confusion! No I'm looking for the bending angle that places each edge on the surface of the sphere. – R.H. Jul 18 '11 at 3:04
Oh, you mean the angle formed by the arc which results from a radial projection of an edge onto the circumscribing sphere. – anon Jul 19 '11 at 12:15

Fix $L=1$. Then the radius of the circumscribed sphere is $r=\frac{1}{4} \sqrt{58+18 \sqrt{5}} \approx 2.478$. Now look at the isosceles triangle formed by the center of the sphere and one edge. It has sides of length $r$ and base length 1. So the angles at either end of the base are $\cos^{-1} (1/(2r)) \approx 78.3593^\circ$. The angle between the tangent to the sphere at one endpoint and the edge is then about $11.6407^\circ$.

« What We've Uncovered… About the Risk Assessment Standards | Main | Vast Majority of CPAs Manually Calculate Cost Basis »
Not-for-profits continue to encounter unique measurement challenges for gifts in kind. There are a variety of approaches available for not-for-profits to value GIK, which can result in large disparities between handlings by different not-for-profits and questions about the application of generally accepted accounting practices to GIK. Other issues such as identifying the applicable principle markets and the effect of nominal fees on GIK require not-for-profits to scrutinize their GIK practices to ensure GAAP is being properly applied.
Not-for-profits must measure all non-cash contributions such as items auctioned off for charity; excess or obsolete goods given to charity to help fulfill its mission; free print or web advertising space and even radio advertisement air time. However, measuring these intangible items can be challenging, as not-for-profits who receive such gifts would not otherwise purchase or sell them and not-for-profit administrators simply may not know the fair market value of these gifts or have access to valuation information.
When trying to measure value of non-cash gifts to not-for-profits, it's important for CPAs to understand these six important tips:
 1. Intent is vital. While all other facts and circumstances help to determine intent, it is ultimately the donor's intent that rules the restriction classification. The not-for-profit has a fiduciary, and in most cases, a legal obligation to follow any restrictions donors place on the use of contributed resources and that may affect a not-for-profit's performance and its ability to provide services.
 2. Focus on discretion. It is important to focus on the discretion a not-for-profit has in determining the intended beneficiary and the extent of variance power the not-for-profit holds. If the original beneficiary no longer needs or cannot accept the goods or, for any reason, the goods are determined to not be acceptable, does the not-for-profit have the authority to redirect the goods to another beneficiary? If so, the not-for-profit likely has variance power.
 3. Determine who bears the risk. Take a hard look at who bears the risks and rewards of ownership over GIK by determining whether your not-for-profit or your client takes physical or constructive possession of the GIK. (i.e., having physical possession of an item generally means that person is responsible for its risk of loss and has a reward of use).
 4. Fair value is now based on "exit" price. It's difficult to find comparable sales data, making it that much more important for not-for-profits to develop a reasonable process for valuing GIK. A not-for-profit's process might include searching the active and principal market for a measurable exit price determination.
 5. Understand the differences between asset restrictions and organizational restrictions. Asset restrictions can have an impact on valuation, whereas organizational restrictions do not. Organizational restrictions will have an impact on the net asset classification, but should not impact valuation.
 6. There is no "one size fits all" approach. For any GIK valuation, there will be judgment in applying indicators and determining the appropriate treatment.
Because there really is no "one size fits all" approach, it's important for accountants and their auditors to have a go-to guide for questions about non-cash gifts and other complex issues related to not-for-profit accounting. The AICPA's Financial Reporting Executive Committee has just published the 2013 edition of the AICPA Not-For-Profit Accounting and Audit Guide, which provides expanded guidance on non-cash contributions and includes updated information on how to determine whether an not-for-profit is in fact acting as a recipient or an agent—an integral component of determining how to consider GIK donations. The guide also includes new sections about reporting and measuring non-cash gifts, including gifts-in-kind; contributions of fund-raising materials, informational materials, advertising, and media time or space; below-market interest rate loans; and bargain purchases.

Trimming technique is a powerful and efficacious way of endowing an arbitrary complex topology to CAD files created by using NURBS. In this work, spline FEM for trimmed CAD surfaces in linear and geometric nonlinear elasticity problem is presented. The main benefit of the proposed method is that no additional modeling for the analysis of the trimmed NURBS surfaces is necessary. As a pioneering attempt to deal with the trimmed surfaces in spline FEM, the information on the trimming curves and trimmed surfaces exported from CAD system is directly utilized for analysis. For this, a specific searching algorithm and an integration scheme of trimmed elements are introduced. For analyses, the construction of the stiffness matrix based on the spline basis function is presented. In the formulation, the information on the trimming curves is used not only for obtaining integration points but also for calculating the Jacobian. It is observed that the proposed method gives the theoretical convergence rate. Multiple-holes problems which are difficult to analyze with conventional spline FEM are easily treated with the proposed method.
Moreover, if the domain boundaries are described by trimming curves only, with the extension of the classical concepts of trimming curves, it is supposed that the proposed method has a lot of advantages over conventional methods.
First, any problems of arbitrary complex topology can be handled. The flexibility for describing complex domain is significantly improved, because the complicated boundaries are easily represented by NURBS curves. Circular or any degrees of polygonal shapes are manageable. It is shown that any complex multiply-connected NURBS domain can be described by using trimming curves only. Schemes for imposing essential and traction boundary conditions on trimming curves are presented. It has been demonstrated that with the presented schemes boundary conditions on trimming curves can be successfully treated.

For better observatory purposes, the photographs of the sparks have been inverted to result in a highly graphical image in negative. The yellow of the sparks becomes blue, the black of the surrounding darkness turns pure white. The photographic inquiry focuses on random angles emerging according to how the sparks divide in the air forming tree-like structures that reveal their geometric properties.

13 Things to Check if Land Title is Authentic or Fake
It is everybody's knowledge that documents can easily be faked in the Philippines. From birth certificates to college diplomas, such materials can quickly be passed off as exact copies.
It has been well-known not just in the country, but also overseas. Workers from the Philippines lead in the number of submitted bogus documents in Saudi Arabia that POEA has been reminding job applicants to use genuine materials.
In the property sector, there are regulations in place to deter scammers who prey on legitimate property owners; there are still cases reported where property buyers are lured into buying lots but receive a fake certificate of land titles. Part of the problem is that buyers are unaware of the tell-tale signs of a phony document being presented to them. As an example, a news release by Inquirer told early 2015 about the arrest of members of a syndicate engaged in sale and mortgage of fake titles.
Before you could get trapped by similar bogus sellers, Ms. Ruby Valdez, a land registration examiner from the Land Registration Authority of the Philippines, advises on the following quick-check items to verify if a document is fake or genuine.
Physical appearance of land title
 1. The paper used for an authentic certificate of land titles is of a special kind and supplied by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Hence, its texture is different from those commercially available papers.
 2. The texture of the genuine title is similar to that of a bank check.
 3. It has a watermark that says, "LRA."
 4. The color of an old version of the title is light yellow, while that of an e-title is pale straw.
 5. When subjected to UV light, tiny fibers in the paper emit a small fluorescent effect.
Text characteristics
 1. "Judicial Form No. 108-D" appears on top of an Original Certificate of Title.
 2. "Judicial Form No. 109-D" appears on top of a Transfer Certificate of Title.
 3. Serial numbers are printed in red color while the owner's duplicate should display black digits.
 4. The last two digits of the page number in the upper right-hand side should correspond to the last two digits of the TCT number.
 6. For e-Titles, all entries should be computer encoded and printed, unlike the old versions which were manually type-written
 7. The seal on the lower left-hand side should be dark red and does not blot when a little water check is done.
 8. Signatures:
 - for Judicial OCT, it should have two names present – the Administrator and the Registrar, while for TCT, only the name of the Registrar is current.
 - For Administrative Titles: one signature from a PENRO or CENRO officer and another from the registrar.
Having these preliminary tests should give you an idea of the type of document you are receiving: original or fake. If you have verified from the above list that the text appears genuine, it does not mean it is 100% authentic. You need to confirm with relevant agencies such as the Land Registration Authority, the Registry of Deeds, or the nearest local and municipal offices to the property location.
Although the step is straightforward and the amount of time to invest in verifying this document's authenticity is barely a minute, it is not a guarantee the certificate of land title is genuine. A modern and convenient way to secure your ownership is through e-titles.

The China Service Medal was a relatively early entry into the hallowed halls of the medals of America when it was created by an Act of Congress in August of 1940. These US military medals were established to honor US Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard personnel who served ashore in China or were attached to vessels that operated in support of operations in China either between July 1937 and September of 1939, or between September of 1945 and April of 1957. Regulations permitted the wearing of a Bronze Service Star on these military medals and ribbons if a service member had performed duty during both periods of eligibility. These Navy medals are now considered obsolete, and are no longer issued by the US Navy. However, they can still be worn by Navy personnel who earned them during that period.
These Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps ribbons and medals are worn in the position directly below the Navy Expeditionary Medal, the Marine Corps Expeditionary Medal and the Coast Guard's Medal for Humane Action; and are worn directly above the National Defense Service Medal in the general order of precedence that has been established for the proper display of all Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard military ribbons and medals. The China Service Medal is generally available as Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard decorations in the form of military medals, ribbons, and lapel pins. They can be worn as traditional slide-on medals, mini medals, and ribbons. While traditionalist may still prefer to purchase the traditional slide-on full size military medals, mini-medals, and slide-on military ribbons; the newer thin mini-medals, and ultra thin military ribbons commercial suppliers now provide have become extremely popular among up and coming military personnel who know how important it is to their career advancement to always maximize the neatness and smartness of their uniform appearance.

Organic farming – A boon to Terrace farming in watershed
The terrace farming is certainly not an easy task. It requires proper management in watershed. The soil is prone to erosion with increase in wind velocity and Rainfall intensity. The water and the wind are the main soil erosive agents. Organic farming – A boon to Terrace farming in watershed
Comparative advantage of terrace farming
However, in hills most of the lands are slopy and terrace farming is the only option left with the farmers. This existing condition should be taken as a challenge in watershed. The climatic conditions of hills are different from plains. The terrace farming in hills are having comparative advantages rather to say climatic advantage for supplying horticulture produce like Vegetables down to plain areas in times when there is scarcity of vegetables in plains. So, terrace farming in hills can take advantage of off season vegetable production grown through terrace farming in hills. This way the terrace farming can give more value of their harvested vegetable crops to the farmers in watershed.
Use of organic inputs for terrace farming
The terrace in slope breaks the length of slope.This way it reduces the velocity of flowing water moving as runoff.It helps in reducing the soil erosion. All this creates a condition conducive for cultivation of crops. However, organic farming in these terraces can further help in effective management of the terraces.
It is important to increase the carbonic content of the soil in terraces. Soil organic content modifies the soil structure.The organic content in the soil enhances the inherent capacity of the soil. Hence the soil in terraces can be kept intact.

The root mean square errors were 16.1, 1.3, 0.3 and 0.3 cm⁻¹, respectively for fits with 10 parameters. The fitted inter-electronic repulsion and magnetic parameters vary linearly with ionic charge, i, but better linear fits are obtained with (4−i)², although the reason is unclear at present. The two-body configuration interaction parameters α and β exhibit a linear relation with [ΔE(bc)]⁻¹, where ΔE(bc) is the energy difference between the 4f² barycentre and that of the interacting configuration, namely 4f6p for La⁺, Ce²⁺, and Pr³⁺, and 5p⁵4f³ for Nd⁴⁺. The linear fit provides the rationale for the negative value of α for the case of La⁺, where the interacting configuration is located below 4f². Copyright © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

If you have just started on SimplePay, you will see one blank payslip setup screen, which is divided into three sections:
These are those items that relate to all payslips. All payslips will have a field for Basic Salary automatically added – click on this to get started:
- For salaried employees, it will be their salary for the period. If it is a shortened period, e.g. where someone started work during the month, you should still enter the full salary, as the system will automatically calculate the pro-rata amount based on their appointment date.
- For hourly paid employees, enter their hourly rate – you will enter the hours worked under Payslip Inputs (discussed below).
Other regular items such as travel allowance, pension fund and employer loans can be added by clicking Add (next to Regular Inputs). If the item you are looking for is not there, you may need to add a custom item. More information about custom items can be found in the following article:
These are items that are periodic (e.g. hours worked) or specific to a particular payslip (e.g. expense claim). SimplePay has a variety of system items, which you can add by clicking Add (next to Payslip Inputs). As with the regular items above, you can create custom items (linked to above).
More information about entering employee hours can be found in the following article:
SimplePay automatically calculates statutory deductions for PAYE and UIF and you will see these in the Payslip block, along with all of the other items you added above. Once you are happy with what you see in the Payslip block, you have the following options:
- Preview will open a PDF preview of the payslip, which will also contain the automatically calculated employer contributions for UIF and any other applicable amounts such as SDL and pension contributions.
- Tax will show you the tax trace – an explanation of how the tax for the period was calculated.
- Notes allows you to add notes to specific items on the payslip if extra information is required.
- The Finalise button saves your changes and generates the next period's payslip. It also removes the stamp saying "Draft" to indicate that the document is now a final document and no longer a draft. Don't panic, though – you can always go back and make changes to the latest finalised payslip by clicking the Undo Finalise button.


Pointing in Brick Walls
Loosely speaking, 'pointing' is the mortar between bricks. A more accurate definition is that it is the visible edge of the mortar-joint. The mortar is normally a mix of lime and sand, or from the 1920s cement and sand. A colouring is sometimes added. Black mortar uses crushed ash rather than sand.
In Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian houses, the pointing between bricks and stone had a major effect on the appearance of the buildings. The emphasis was always supposed to be on the brickwork, rather than the pointing. The ideal was no visible mortar. This could be achieved by:
 - using high quality engineering bricks
 - 'rubbed' brickwork, where the bricks were rubbed together until they fitted closely together, leaving a joint of 2-3mm
 - 'tuck' pointing, where a line of white, putty mortar was 'tucked' into a slot cut in stained mortar
 - stained mortar to hide the pointing
Most houses used, at best, the last of these, with flush or slightly recessed pointing. Styles of pointing included flush, tuck, bucket handle and recessed pointing. Weatherstruck pointing was never used.
types of pointing
The two pictures below show an example of tuck pointing. You can see how the bricks are pointed with a stained mortar and then a line of putty mortar set in. The white putty is a mix of silver sand and lime. Tuck pointing was used to disguise poor quality, chipped and irregular bricks.
 - 1907, Bromley, Kent; tuck pointing
 - tuck pointing
These are examples of other mortar and brick combinations:
 - black putty
 black putty in white bricks and mortar
 - white putty
 white putty in white bricks and mortar
In some places, the putty line is laid over the surface of the bricks:
tuck pointing
Lines are put on the surface to align the verticals from the footings to the top of the building; the putty was added from the top downwards but if the brick courses are not aligned, the tuck-pointing needs to match.
an example of new tuck pointing
The stopping was 'wiped' over the bedding mortar while it was still 'green'.

For an automated selection of tasks to process, operators can use the Get Next Work logic. Get Next Work automatically prompts users with an assignment that currently has the highest urgency in work queues and work groups that the operator can access.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click.
- On the Operators tab, select an operator that you want
Tip: To find your operator faster, in the Search Text field, enter the operator name, and then click Search.
- On the Work tab, in the Organizational
unit section, define the affiliation of the operator within the
organization by clicking Update, and then provide a
relevant organization, division, and unit.
For example: For an organization, enter the name of your company, for example, UPlusTelco, and then provide a division and unit, such as BankingOperations for a division and Mortgages for a unit.
- In the Team field, enter a work group to which the user
belongs.A work group defines routing of tasks and a reporting manager of the user.
For example: If you create Team A to review mortgage requests and Team B to investigate issues with mortgage operations, the two teams can use separate areas of your application so that the work is logically separated.
- Optional: To assign a user to multiple work groups, click Add a work group, in the text box enter a work group, and then select the radio button next to the work group that you want to set as the default.
- Optional: To enhance the reporting options of your application, in the Reports to field, enter the reporting manager for the user.
- Optional: To enable routing of tasks based on a skillset, in the
Skill field, enter the ability of the user, and then
in the Rating field, enter the level of the
ability.You can apply a rating from 1 to 10, where 10 implies the highest level of the skill.
For example: To indicate that a user is a fluent speaker of French, in the Skill field, enter French, and then in the Rating field, enter 10.
- Optional: To allow the user to process assignments from a work queue that corresponds
with the user's work group, in the Work queue section,
click Add item, and then provide a work queue and an
urgency threshold.During Get Next Work processing, your application ignores assignments with urgency lower than the urgency threshold. For more information about Get Next Work, see Customizing the Get Next Work logic.
- Optional: To assign the user to multiple work queues, click Add item, and then repeat step 8.
- Optional: To trigger the Get Next Work algorithm to retrieve assignments from the work
queues of the user first, select the Get from work queues
first check box.Otherwise, Get Next Work picks up the top assignment on the user worklist, and accesses work queues only if this user's worklist is empty.
For example: If a user is a member of the Team A to review mortgage requests, the Next Get Work algorithm suggests assignments that the application routes to the Team A work queue first and then moves to the assignments from the user's individual worklist.
- Optional: To trigger the Get Next Work algorithm to retrieve assignments from all work queues that correspond with the team that you provided in step 4, select the Use all work queue assignments in user's team check box.
- Optional: To trigger the Next Assignment item to consolidate assignments from all of the
work queues of the user, sort by assignment urgency, and return the most urgent
assignment in any work queue, select the Merge work
queues check box.If you select the Use all work queue assignments in user's team check box in step 11, the system selects the Merge work queues check box by default and you cannot clear this check box.
- Click Save.


text: With the advancement of photo editing software, digital documents can easily be altered, which causes some legal issues. This paper proposes an image authentication method, which determines whether an image is authentic. Unlike many existing methods that only work with images in the JPEG format, the proposed method is image format independent, implying that it works with both noncompressed images and images in all compression formats. To improve the authentication accuracy, some strategies, such as overlapping image blocks only on concurrent directions, using a two-scale local binary pattern operator, and choosing the mean deviation instead of the standard deviation, are applied. A back-propagation neural network (BPNN) is used instead of support vector machines (SVMs) for classification to make online learning easier and achieve higher accuracy. In our experiments, we used the CASIA Database (CASIA TIDE v1.0) of compressed images and the Columbia University Digital Video Multimedia (DVMM) dataset of uncompressed images to evaluate our image authentication method. This benchmark dataset includes two types of image tampering, namely image splicing and copy–move forgery. Experiments were performed using both the SVM and BPNN classifiers with various parameters. We determined that the BPNN achieved a higher accuracy of up to 97.26 %.

If you want to change the direction of the stove pipe of your firewood stove, you need to choose a pipe elbow. Before you buy the elbow, you need to understand the following questions.
1. Diameter of stove pipe elbow. When connecting different chimneys, the most important parameter is the diameter of the connecting part. Only accurate diameter can ensure the stability and safety of products.
2. Angle of stove pipe elbow. This product provides two angle models, one is 45 degrees and the other is 90 degrees.
3. Material of stove pipe elbow. 304 stainless steel material, will not rust, strong and durable, can be used for a long time.

, AO, DoF etc) but we can probably get away with skipping the Albedo, Emissive parts. However you twist and turn it, you will end up with less memory bandwidth and thus better performance. We can also skip ping-ponging when doing bloom and blurs, because we can use a pixel-local cache to save a horizontal blur result when doing a vertical blur, and vice versa.
To enable this in Nebula, we need to add it to the design of a frame shader. A frame shader (perhaps they should have a renderer-specific implementation?) should need a SuperPass tag which can hold many ordinary Pass tags. A would be the Vulkan equivalent of a RenderPass, and an ordinary would be a SubPass. This would allow us to pass 'framebuffers' as input attachments within the and when the ends, we explain what will actually become resolved.
Nebula also needs (with the help of AnyFX) to enable sampler objects in the shader code. In GLSL there are two texture types, sampler1D -> samplerCubeArray and image1D -> imageCubeArray. Samplers would have a sampler attached to it from the application, and images would only be readable through texel fetches. However, in the Vulkan GLSL language there is a new type of texture called, well, texture, and it follows the same range from texture1D -> textureCubeArray. To sample such a texture, we do texture(sampler(AlbedoMap, PointSampler), UV); which is very similar to the DX11 way, which is AlbedoMap.Sample(PointSampler, UV); In the Vulkan GLSL language, we can create a sampler couple when sampling from a texture, which allows the exampled AlbedoMap to be texture sampled using many different samplers without having to exist more than once. However, Vulkan also supports pre-coupled sampler and images, so for the time being, we will stick to that syntax.


Can You See the Chart Under the Notes?
Annotating your chart helps your audience to understand the reasons behind some patterns or outliers. But, please, please, don't bury the data under boxes and arrows and busy grid lines, like this one on the right does (from WTRG Economics).
How can you improve a chart like this? First of all, the series must be visible… 🙂 Don't create a competition for the readers' attention. Notes should be in the background, like the axis, labels and other chart objects.
A note is not a marker. Add a note to explain a specific behaviour ("this happened because…"). If you have a time series, create a timeline outside the chart and add markers for relevant contextual events (there are several other design options).
It is easy to come up with something cleaner:
There was enough notes about quotas to create a new chart, with new insights. All the other notes are there, but they only murmur. I don't feel confortable with using two axis, but that's a topic for another post.
By the way: there is (at least) a perceptual error in my chart. Can you find it?
1 thought on "Can You See the Chart Under the Notes?"
 1. hey. i like the approach. did you "draw" the lines? how would you make it automatic? I have been using this approach
 the problem here is that if you make a dymanic chart to display different timelines (for example different equity indices using a dropdown element) the height of the error bars must also be dynamic. also, with many events they tend to overlap in a dymanic chart…

E10 is a concept invented by Prof. Robert Shiller, who uses E10 for his Shiller P/E calculation. When we calculate the todays Shiller P/E ratio of a stock, we use todays price divided by E10.
What is E10? How do we calculate E10?
E10 is the average of the inflation adjusted earnings of a company over the past 10 years. Lets use an example to explain.
If we want to calculate the E10 of Wal-Mart (WMT) for Dec. 31, 2010, we need to have the inflation data and the earnings from 2001 through 2010.
We adjusted the earnings of 2001 earnings data with the total inflation from 2001 through 2010 to the equivalent earnings in 2010. If the total inflation from 2001 to 2010 is 40%, and Wal-Mart earned $1 a share in 2001, then the 2001s equivalent earnings in 2010 is $1.4 a share. If Wal-Mart earns $1 again in 2002, and the total inflation from 2002 through 2010 is 35%, then the equivalent 2002 earnings in 2010 is $1.35. So on and so forth, you get the equivalent earnings of past 10 years. Then you add them together and divided the sum by 10 to get E10.

While many LGBT vacationers opt for the cool, queer-friendly climes of Fire Island or Provincetown, there's another option for those who prefer to take the road less traveled: the Yellow Brick Road.
Yes, folks, that Yellow Brick Road. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, historian John Curran has identified a stretch of yellow-bricked road in Peekskill, New York as the inspiration for the one that Dorothy famously traveled in L. Frank Baum's children's novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Although scholars in other parts of the country might beg to differ, Curran has conducted years of research and concluded that this bit of road is the one that sparked Baum's imagination. Curran's argument is based in part on fact: Baum lived two years of his young life in Peekskill, attending a military academy there. Legend has it that when he stepped off the boat and asked for directions to the school, he was told to "follow the yellow brick road".
Unfortunately for Curran — not to mention historians, preservationists, and literary types — only a small portion of the yellow brick road still exists today, and even that is being threatened with blacktop "improvements". If you're the sort of vacationer who likes to say, "I was there!", we'd suggest getting your pic on Peekskill's yellow brick road sooner rather than later.

Public libraries are places that collect collections of books, printed materials and other records for the benefit of the general public. Public libraries can also be interpreted as various educational institutions for the general public by providing various kinds of scientific information, on the management of library book data, both those that are often borrowed and those that cannot be returned and the types of books in the library or recording book borrowing transactions such as book records still use the traditional way, this is one of the channels that is exceeded to meet and monitor the reading interest of visitors in Siak Kecil sub-district. On this basis, a Library System Dashboard will be developed using the Proptotyping methodology. This system is built using PHP (Hypertext Processor) as programming language and MySQL as database. Once done, blackbox testing can show that the system is running as expected. Based on the user acceptance test (UAT) that has been carried out, it shows that 94% of the systems built are well accepted and can be the head of the library in managing data and helping decision making.
