Advantages and Disadvantages of Demat Account
As the trading world has shifted to the online space, it has become more and more accessible to the average investor accompanied by several useful tools and platforms.
A large part in this shift is played by the process of Dematerialisation, which has made it easier than ever for traders to hold and trade in their securities. However, like all concepts associated with trading, Demat accounts necessitate a closer look at its pros and cons.
What is a Demat Account?
Dematerialisation is the process by which physical securities are converted into electronic format. One of the prime benefits of Demat accounts is it serves a similar function to the one that is served by a bank account to store your money. Each Demat account comes with a specific account number and password to ensure security. Each transaction made with the Demat account also comes with its transaction password.
The various advantages of demat accounts are:
- Securities in Demat accounts can be stored in an electronic form, which makes the process of holding and transacting convenient and hassle-free.
- They have greatly reduced the risks associated with holding securities in physical forms like - forgeries, theft, fake securities.
- Demat accounts also allow instant transfer of securities. Hence, as soon as a trader spots a favourable opportunity, a transfer or transaction in securities can be made quickly.
- With Demat accounts, if you should choose so, you can buy or sell even a single share.
- As a trader, not only can you open a demat account online but also update important account information such as a change of address without having to reach out to multiple companies.
- Demat accounts are also a great all-in-one account for holding many different types of securities like - investments in both equity as well as debt instruments, and also use it to hold mutual funds and gold ETFs.
With the advantages, there are some disadvantages too, which include:
- Demat account holders are required to pay an annual maintenance charge. This charge applies to the trader even if there is only a single share held in the Demat account.
- As opposed to dealing with physical securities, trading in electronic securities might seem somewhat difficult and even complex to those new to the world of online trading.
While Demat accounts might seem to present a challenge to certain traders, for the most part, their pros outweigh their cons. If you too would like to make the most of this essential trading tool, consider opening a Demat account online with IIFL, wherein investors and traders can avail an all-in-one account through which you can trade in multiple securities online from anywhere.

Question: Does the intensity of aspiration increase with each incarnation?Sri Chinmoy: There is no hard and fast rule that with each incarnation the intensity of aspiration will increase, although that is what is expected. Unless one becomes a true, devoted seeker in the purest sense of the term, one may drift away from the life of aspiration. In a particular incarnation, one might drift away from aspiration and enter into a life of desire in order to become a celebrity in a particular field. It has happened in millions of cases. But if one becomes a divine and self-giving seeker, then with each incarnation one's aspiration is bound to increase.

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is an essential mechanism for power saving in smartphones and mobile devices. Central processing unit (CPU) load based DVFS algorithms are widely used due to their simplicity of implementation. However, such algorithms often lead to a poor response time, which is one of the most important factors of user experience, especially for interactive applications. In this paper, the response time is mathematically modeled by considering the CPU frequency and characteristics of the running applications based on the Linux kernel's completely fair scheduler (CFS), and a Response time constrained Frequency & Priority (RFP) control scheme for improved power efficiency of smartphones is proposed. In the RFP algorithm, the CPU frequency and priority of the interactive applications are adaptively adjusted by estimating the response time in real time. The experimental results show that RFP can save energy up to 24.23% compared to the ondemand governor and up to 7.74% compared to HAPPE while satisfying the predefined threshold of the response time in Android-based smartphones.

I've found this translation _URL_ but I am not sure if English legals use subordinate to define a party that is subordinated to another.
Any suggestion?
EDIT: An approximation of "subordinato" can be "working for someone that employs you".

It's a perfectly common usage in English too - but we just call such a person a "subordinate" (not subordinated). – FumbleFingers Dec 12 '12 at 17:56
...most of these thousands of instances of "behaviour towards subordinates" will be for this exact context, which I'm voting to close as General Reference. – FumbleFingers Dec 12 '12 at 17:59
I am drafting an agreement where I am say something like "Section x - Exclusion of partnership relationship and employment of party x" OR "Section x - Exclusion of partnership relationship and subordinate relationship" – mm24 Dec 12 '12 at 18:00
I'm not a lawyer, so I wouldn't want to advise on phrasing of a (legal?) agreement. But if you simply look at a few examples in that link I'd have thought it will tell you as much as any answer here, since "behaviour towards subordinates" is often an area that concerns the law. Sexual language/activity involving a subordinate is often discouraged, and may be illegal, for example. – FumbleFingers Dec 12 '12 at 18:14

English "subordinate" implies a hierarchy, but not necessarily an employment relationship. For example, the subordinates of a military officer are those of lower rank whom he commands. The word need not refer to a hierarchy of persons at all: it is also used to describe nesting in an outline of an argument or essay. From your comment, I guess a reference to an employer/employee relationship is more precise.

The legal term subordinated may have a narrow technical definition, which can't be guessed without some context.
For example, subordinated debt will have a specific definition not closely related to normal English use of the word subordinate.
In normal English, the final definition
 - militare (inferiore di grado) military :
 - subordinate n
is the primary use, and the penultimate definition
 - (sottoposto) :
 - subordinate, direct report n
 - aide, associate n
 - pejorative stooge, underling n
would be a less-common but still understandable use.
The other definitions (conditional, dependent or non-autonomous) would be more likely in specific, narrow or technical sense.

Project Management optimize
Use VBA to find late finish dates in Microsoft Project 2010
Reduce your project administration burden by using VBA code to identify late tasks within the context of your overall Microsoft Project 2010 schedule.
In my previous Microsoft Project 2010 Visual Basic programming tutorial, I demonstrated how to identify missing baseline dates from the project schedule. (Part one of this series covered how to use VBA code to extend the Ribbon UI and create a simple message.) Identifying late tasks in the project schedule is a common task that often requires filtering on baseline dates and sorting percent complete values. I prefer to gain insight into my project with a single click of a button versus setting more filters and views. In this tutorial, I show how to identify all the late tasks in your project schedule with the click of a button (Figure A). Figure A
Project schedule with late tasks (Click the image to enlarge.)
The logic includes the following steps:
1. Select the Gantt Chart view and activate the Entry table.
2. Confirm the Project Status date Microsoft Project has been set.
3. For each task in the schedule, check the Baseline Finish date to the Project Status date.
4. If the Baseline Finish date is less than the Project Status date and the Task % Complete is not 100%, then toggle the background color to yellow.
5. Select the 1st row in the schedule when the checking is complete.
To build this custom task field highlighting feature, create the VBA routine as follows in these step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Add the menu item to the Navigation bar
Using the Visual Basic editor in the Developer tab, I'll add the Toggle Late Tasks button to the Utilities group that I created in the previous tutorial:
myNavBar = myNavBar + " "
This snippet of code will add another button to the MyTools group of buttons on the Utility tab (Figure B). Figure B
VBA editor (Click the image to enlarge.)
Step 2: Build the VBA subroutine
In the Visual Basic editor, create a new subroutine called toggleLateFinish and paste the following code:
Sub ToggleLateFinish()
'Check Project Status Date is set
If ActiveProject.StatusDate = "" Then
MsgBox "Please set the Project Status Date to toggle late tasks"
Exit Sub
End If
Dim tsks As Tasks
Dim t As Task
Dim rgbColor As Long
Dim missingBaselineCt
Set tsks = ActiveProject.Tasks
'Switch to Gantt Chart Entry View
ViewApplyEx Name:="&Gantt Chart", ApplyTo:=0
TableApply Name:="&Entry"
missingBaselineCt = 0
For Each t In tsks
If (Not t Is Nothing) And (Not t.Summary) Then
SelectTaskField Row:=t.ID, Column:="Name", RowRelative:=False
rgbColor = ActiveCell.CellColorEx
'Check for missing baseline and increment counter
If t.BaselineFinish = "NA" Then
missingBaselineCt = missingBaselineCt + 1
If t.BaselineFinish < ActiveProject.StatusDate And t.PercentComplete <> 100 Then
' Check whether the task color is white.
If rgbColor = &HFFFFFF Then
Font32Ex CellColor:=&H66FFFF 'Change the background to yellow.
Font32Ex CellColor:=&HFFFFFF 'Change the background to white.
End If
'change the background to white.
Font32Ex CellColor:=&HFFFFFF
End If
End If
End If
Next t
'Selects the top row in the table
SelectRow Row:=0, RowRelative:=False
If missingBaselineCt > 0 Then
MsgBox "There are " & missingBaselineCt & " tasks missing a baseline finish date. Set a baseline date for these tasks for accurate metrics"
End If
End Sub
Step 3: Save your file and test it
Save the file, close Microsoft Project, and re-open it to test the new Toggle Late Tasks feature (Figure C). Figure C
Toggle Late Tasks button
The task name field will toggle between white and yellow background color. You can filter by the Resource Names column (Figure D) to identify all the late tasks, while viewing all the tasks assigned to the filtered resource. Figure D
Filter by Resource and Late Finish (Click the image to enlarge.)
In large project schedules with filtered tasks, the project team can lose the context of the task within the overall task hierarchy. The benefit of the approach outlined in this tutorial is that you and your project team can see the late tasks within the context of the overall schedule. Download the sample code for this tutorial, and feel free to experiment with the code to change the color or highlight a different field.
In the final installment in this series, I'll show how to generate project metrics with Visual Basic programming.
This is excellent. How could a script account for late starts. The query would need focus on the Actual Start missing prior to the schedule date but I don't know what that would look like in VBA.
I would define a late start where the ActualStart is > Baseline Start, so you would adjust the IF statement: If t.ActualStart > t.BaselineStart Then (Treat that line as pseudo code as I'm typing it..vs building it into the script) If you didn't want to use VBA, you could also do a custom highlight filter Andy

A portable basketball goal can provide you and your family with the same amount of fun as an in-ground basketball system with much less hassle. Portable basketball goals come with a hollow base for support, so there is no need to worry about digging a hole or pouring concrete to secure the pole. Since portable basketball goals are free standing, they do require a secure base to ensure that the basket does not tip over and cause injury or damage.
Filling Your Base With Water
Many basketball goals come with 35 gallon bases that can be filled to ensure that it doesn't shift or fall during use or bad weather. Water is the simplest choice, as it is easily accessible to most homes. To quickly secure the basketball goal, use a hose to fill the base completely.
Filling Your Base With Sand
Filling the base with sand is the option suggested by most portable basketball goal manufacturers for a number of reasons. Most importantly, sand is much more dense and heavier than water, and therefore can create a more sturdy foundation for your basketball hoop. Sand weighs just over 13 pounds per gallon while water weighs just over 8, making it the more efficient and reliable option.
Making The Right Choice
Both sand and water will work, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. Water is likely more readily available. Sand is more expensive and filling your base with it can be a messy job, but it is more effective. Basketball hoop manufacturers warn against keeping water in the base during the winter months when there is a possibility it could freeze and damage the base. Water also evaporates, creating more of a danger of your hoop shifting or falling due to a lack of stability. Furthermore, a leak of sand will be much easier to spot.
A Word of Warning
Safety is the most important concern when determining how to anchor your basketball goal, and all basketball goal manufacturers warn against placing bricks, bags of sand or concrete on top of the base. Choosing to do this rather than taking the time to fill the base can cause lead to damage from the hoop falling, or serious injury to the people using the goal.

It depends.
Your youth record does NOT automatically disappear when you turn 18. Instead, the law sets out a period in which the record is open and can be accessed by people that are authorized by the law, like the Crown Attorney, before it is sealed. The relevant law is called the Youth Criminal Justice Act
How long your record will lasts will depend on:
 - 1. The seriousness of the crime you committed
 - 2. The sentence you were given, AND
 - 3. Whether you commit another crime while you still have an open youth record for a previous crime.
If you get an Absolute Discharge, then your record for this offence will be open for one year after being found guilty of the offence. If you receive a conditional discharge, then your record for this offence will be open for three years after being found guilty. If you get EJS (extrajudicial sanctions) then this will be on your record for two years from the date you agree to do EJS.
For more serious sentences (like probation and custody), the length of time your record is open depends on the seriousness of the crime. For instance, if you were found guilty of a summary conviction offence, which is a lower level offence, then your record will be open for three years after you complete your sentence. But if you are found guilty of a more serious offence, known as an indictable offence, your record will be open five years after your sentence is completed.
And if you committed a really serious offence, like murder, manslaugher, attempted murder or aggravated sexual assault, your record may be open indefinitely.
If you have an open youth record and then are found guilty of a new crime while charged as a youth, then the time period starts fresh: this means that the original offences will be open until the retention period for the new offences is complete.
Finally, if you have a youth record that is still open when you turn 18, and you commit another offence before it is sealed, your youth record will become part of your permanent adult record.

Ordering of Branches Important When Visualizing Git Changesets
Fisheye 2.6 introduced the repository commit graph. The commit graph allows you to visualize changesets in their branches by showing them in configurable branch "swimlanes". One of the ways in which you can configure the commit graph is by reordering the swimlanes. Reordering swimlanes is useful for non-Git repositories, if you want to show branches in a certain order. However, ordering swimlanes is vital for Git repositories, as it is the only way of determining which branch a commit is displayed in, when a commit belongs to multiple branches.
Git Branches and Changesets in Fisheye
Before considering how Git repositories are visualized in the commit graph, it is important to understand how Fisheye relates Git changesets to branches.
In Fisheye 2.6 and later, Fisheye considers the ancestry of a Git changeset when determining which branch it is a part of. Branches can effectively be considered as pointers to changesets. Hence, merging and branching can change the branches that a changeset is considered part of.
For example, if a branch 'fisheye-2.6' is merged back to the'master' branch, then all changesets that were seen as part of the 'fisheye-2.6' branch only will also be considered to be part of the'master' (e.g. the changeset will be seen as part of'master' and 'fisheye-2.6' in the activity stream).
Viewing Git Changesets and Branches in the Commit Graph
The previous section describes how a changeset can be associated with multiple branches, due to its ancestry. Instead of showing the changeset in every branch swimlane on the commit graph, Fisheye represents these changesets as described below.
When you view the commit graph for a Git repository, Fisheye works from the leftmost swimlane to the right doing the following:
- For each swimlane, Fisheye checks if the commit is in that branch. If the commit is in the branch, a dot is shown representing the commit.
- If the commit is not in the branch, the dot for the commit is moved to the next column on the right.
For example, if the'master' swimlane is to the left of another swimlane, e.g. 'fisheye-2.6' branch, there will be no changesets shown in the 'fisheye-2.6' swimlane, as all the commits will be picked up in the'master' swimlane. However, if you move the 'fisheye-2.6' swimlane to the left of the'master' swimlane, it will pick up all of the Fisheye 2.6 commits.
This allows you to visually isolate changesets in the desired branches by reordering the swimlanes. For example, if you want to see the lineage of a branch, 'fisheye-2.6', but not 'fisheye-2.5' after both branches have previously been merged to'master', you could arrange your swimlanes to 'fisheye-2.6','master', 'fisheye-2.5' from left to right. You will be able to see the 'fisheye-2.6' changesets and where the merge back to'master' was made. The 'fisheye-2.5' changesets will just be seen as part of the'master' branch.

Hundreds of Texans report seeing fireball in sky
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Hundreds of Texans are giving online accounts of seeing a massive bright ball of light streak across the nighttime sky.
The Austin American-Statesman reports ( people from the Dallas-Fort Worth area west to Abilene and south to Waco, Austin, San Antonia and Houston say they saw the white fireball at about 9 p.m. Saturday. Most people say they saw one, but a few say they saw a second smaller flash.
American Meteor Society scientist Robert Lunsford says it was likely a very bright meteor or fireball.
The society says thousands of meteors pass across the Earth's atmosphere daily, but most occur over uninhabited areas. Sometimes they occur during daylight hours.
In February 2012, people from Oklahoma City to Houston gave similar accounts of seeing a fireball streak across the sky.

loop: A trace-based emulator for Vehicular ad hoc networks
loop: A trace-based emulator for Vehicular ad hoc networks, Proc INSTICC 8th International Conference on Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications SIMULTECH 2018, Porto, Portugal, Vol., pp. -, July, 2018.
Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0006854503910402
In this paper we present loop (loop over orderly phases), a trace-based emulator for Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). This is an alternative and novel method to evaluate improvements on VANET protocols, which relies and takes advantage of real data samples collected from an existing network. Those samples are vehicles' geographical locations and radio reception events, which represent mobility and communication patterns of the VANET. From those samples, loop creates a synthetic environment to simulate and evaluate communication protocols on the target VANET. loop also includes an interactive mode to manage the emulation process and a visualization mode that shows different time and geographical-dependent aspects. The development of loop was motivated by the need of an non-intrusive methodology to intensively analyse and deterministically compare the impact of several strategies for communication protocols and all their possible variations in a realistic scenario, both in terms of mobility and radio communication opportunities. Namely, we created loop to evaluate the impact of adding security features to the routing control plane of an VANET. Since the VANET includes hundreds of vehicles, the computational performance is critical to speed-up evaluations. With loop we were able to perform complex, multi-variable performance evaluations of 24 hour periods in durations ranging from 6 up to 30 minutes.

Using prepared statement is favorable in two regards: It is more efficient than direct execution of SQL code, since a statement that is used repeatedly needs to be parsed, analyzed, and, optimized only once. This can lead to a significant performance gain, depending on the complexity of the statement. Secondly, since no user input is used to create the SQL statement, but parameters are only passed as function arguments when the statement is executed, SQL injection is effectively prevented.
So here is a short example of how to use this from Lua using the luapgsql interface.
First, connect to a database:
local conn = pgsql.connectdb('')
Using a prepared statement is a two step process. First, the statement needs to be prepared. This is done only once per connection using the prepare() function.
When preparing a statement, use $1, $2, $3 in the SQL code as placeholders for the actual data parameters, which will be supplied later, when the statement is being executed. To give PostgreSQL an idea which data types you will be using you have to supply "example" parameters to the prepare() function. The value of the parameter will be ignored, it will only be used to determine the data type. In the example below a prepared statement with name'myselect' and one parameter, a string value, is created:
conn:prepare('myselect','select firstname from person where lastname = $1', '')
Now the prepared statement can be used as often as needed using the execPrepared() function, indicating the name of the prepared statement and supplying the actual data values:

We have a number 'Alert' scenarios where we want to send out user alerts, and also retain the body of a message (or part thereof) for resubmission, to replay the orchestration once appropriate remedial action has been taken. I thought we could be clever, and define an envelope schema that would contain details of the alert, in human-readable form, together with an element that could contain the message, for resubmission. By defining the parent of this element as the BodyXPath of the envelope, the alert message itself could be resubmitted, at which point the inner message would be stripped out and re-processed.

It was the first time I'd used the Mass Copy functoid, and was annoyed to find that it copies the children and attributes of the node selected, rather than the node itself - meaning that you lose the root node name if it isn't already in the output schema. The xsl generated is thus:
(where the element is the parent of the , and our body xpath node.)
This didn't work for us, as we needed the name of the root element copied over, so I replaced the Mass Copy functoid with a Scripting functoid, selected Inline XSLT as the script type, and used the following:
I'm surprised that there isn't a property of the Mass Copy functoid that allows you to do this, as it seems relatively obvious (and easy to implement). Has anyone else had to do this?

The best way to import symbols in a map document is to use EMF format. This will maintain the vectors, allow resizing in ArcMap without loss of quality. Since there is no "background" to a vector drawing, it will appear correctly transparent in ArcMap.
Alternately, you can make the bitmap marker method work by filling the "transparent" background portions of your symbol with a key colour that does not appear elsewhere in your image be aware that using bitmap markers may adversely affect output quality.

You are going to the marker layer's properties Display tab and changing the transparency, correct? As I'm guessing you know this is the main way to change the transparency of any layer, including marker symbols. If that doesn't work, I wonder if you don't have have some kind of read-only problem. May be worth trying to copy that layer and paste it in as a new layer and try to change the transparency on the new copied layer.

Potassium Hydroxide, Caustic Potash (KOH) High Quality Flakes, Food Grade & Kosher from North America
What is Potassium Hydroxide?
Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound, commonly called by its chemical formula designation KOH or caustic potash. Along with sodium hydroxide, this colorless solid is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications, most of which exploit its corrosive nature and its reactivity toward acids.
Can Potassium Hydroxide be used for soaps?
The saponification of fats with KOH is used to prepare "potassium soaps," which are softer than the more common sodium hydroxide-derived soaps. Because of their softness and greater solubility, potassium soaps require less water to liquefy, and can contain more cleaning agent than liquefied sodium soaps.
Is this Potassium hydroxide allowed for food and electronic manufacturing?
Yes in food products, potassium hydroxide acts as a food thickener, pH control agent and food stabilizer. KOH is also used for semiconductor chip fabrication.
Is Ingredient Depot's Potassium Hydroxide Kosher certified?
Yes, our Potassium hydroxide is Kosher tested and certified from our manufacturer.
In what country is this KOH manufactured?
Our Potassium Hydroxide is manufactured in North America.

This photo of the Campbell's Covered Bridge Marker was captured by Vincent Flores of Greer in 2010. The inscription on the marker reads:
This bridge, built in 1909, is the last extant covered bridge in S.C. Built by Charles Irwin Willis (1878–1966), it was named for Alexander Lafayette Campbell (1836–1920), who owned and operated a grist mill here for many years. Measuring 35 feet long and 12 feet wide, it is an excellent example of a four-span Howe truss, featuring diagonal timbers and vertical iron rods.

A New Innovative Low Cost Manufacturing Process to Produce Titanium
All titanium is produced by the Kroll process, which is a batch process for the magnesium (Mg) reduction of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4). Separate operations are required to produce the toxic and very corrosive TiCl4, which must be stored and transported. Magnesium also is produced separately in liquid form via the electrolysis of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), which requires storage and transport of liquid Mg as well as handling the chloride gas produced. The Kroll-produced titanium sponge is a 50-year-old mature process that is expensive, thus limiting the utilization of titanium in spite of its most desirable properties of light weight, corrosion resistance, and high mechanical properties. A wholly new process is proposed to produce titanium powder that utilizes the basic proven Kroll-type chemistry but is performed in situ, which eliminates the need for external sources of Mg and TiCl4. Because no separately produced Mg or TiCl4 is required, the environmental issues with producing Mg and TiCl4 are eliminated. The new one-step processing that does not require external feeds of Mg and TiCl4 offers the potential to produce titanium powder at one-half or less than the cost of a Kroll-produced sponge.

What is the Difference Between De facto Relationship & Marriage?
By 28 September 2018De Facto Law, General
Brisbane Family Lawyers
Relationships in contemporary Australian society are marked by changes to our social dynamics, such as the ever increasing population and growth of our multicultural and inclusive society.
Yet there are only two formal types of relationships in the eyes of the Australian legal system: a de facto relationship or a marriage.
Save for the obvious differences, and of course differences in cultural practices, there is one significant difference between the two.
The Marriage Act 1961 defines "marriage" as being 'the union of two people to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life'. Key to this definition are the terms "union", "exclusion of all others", and "voluntarily entered into for life".
Whilst there is no firm definition of "de facto relationship", a de facto relationship can exist between two persons providing they are:
 1. not married to each other;
 2. are not related; and
 3. are living on a genuine domestic basis.
The Family Law Act 1975 identifies a number of circumstances from which a de facto relationship may arise, which include:
 - the duration of the relationship;
 - the nature and extent of the parties' common residence;
 - whether a sexual relationship exists;
 - the degree of financial dependence or interdependence;
 - whether the parties' own, use or have acquired property jointly;
 - the degree of the parties' mutual commitment to a shared life;
 - whether the parties' relationship has been registered under a prescribed law of a State or Territory;
 - the parties' care and support of children; and
 - the reputation and public aspects of the relationship.
Indeed, when you look at the circumstances that may give rise to a de facto relationship it is easy to see that they will more likely than not exist in a marriage. A combination of any of the above circumstances can be found in almost every intimate relationship, it is the constitution of the relationship that differences.
Arguably, there is no intrinsic difference between the two. Relationships are comprised of some overarching key factors, namely love and affection, commitment and support.
However, when you consider the definitions of the two types of relationships, there are some significant differences which point to one fundamental principal. When two people get married they are entering into a formal contract known as the consortium vitae, otherwise known as the "marital relationship".
When you break the process of getting married down, you can see a number of key elements that provide for a legally valid and binding marital relationship. This elements include:
 1. a formal legal ceremony, conducted by a person who is ordained to conduct the ceremony and validate the marriage;
 2. a verbal commitment provided by both of the parties to each other (also known as "vows");
 3. a document that is signed by both parties at the conclusion of the ceremony signifying the "contract"; and
 4. the registration of the marriage in the State or Territory in which the ceremony occurred.
Of course, all marriage ceremonies are different. But they all include the above key elements which provide for the marriage to be valid and legally binding. In other words, providing the above elements are present, the marital relationship becomes binding and effective on the day of the ceremony.
For all intents and purposes, the process of getting married (however hectic and stressful, and even expensive the planning may be) gives rise to a legally binding contract.
But, this contract is not like any normal contract. This contract is founded on the basis that two parties are making a commitment to one another, for life, and to the exclusion of anyone else. Indeed, the exclusivity of a marriage is integral, particularly in circumstances where a de facto relationship may consist of a party who is married but separated.
The type of relationship you and your partner wish to have is a deeply personal decision and is founded on love, affection, commitment and support. There is no requirement to get married. Marriage can simply be identified as the ultimate step of unification between two people who are committed to one another and wish to be committed to one another for life.
If you need family law assistance or legal advice following separation, whether from a de facto relationship or following the breakdown of your marriage, then please contact one of expert family law lawyers Toowoomba.

Apparatus for Measuring Total Emissivity of Small, Low-Emissivity Samples
- Created: Saturday, 01 January 2011
The small chamber surrounding the sample is lined with black-painted aluminum honeycomb, which simplifies data analysis. This results in the sample viewing a very high-emissivity surface on all sides, an effect which would normally require a much larger chamber volume. The sample and chamber temperatures are individually controlled using off-the-shelf PID (proportional–integral–derivative) controllers, allowing flexibility in the test conditions. The chamber can be controlled at a higher temperature than the sample, allowing a direct absorptivity measurement.
The lightweight sample is suspended by its heater and thermometer leads from an isothermal bar external to the chamber. The wires run out of the chamber through small holes in its corners, and the wires do not contact the chamber itself. During a steady-state measurement, the thermometer and bar are individually controlled at the same temperature, so there is zero heat flow through the wires. Thus, all of sample-temperature-control heater power is radiated to the chamber.
Double-aluminized Kapton (DAK) emissivity was studied down to 10 K, which was about 25 K colder than any previously reported measurements. This verified a minimum in the emissivity at about 35 K and a rise as the temperature dropped to lower values.

Description of the habitat
Lowland hay meadows are very blossomy and species-rich, meadow communities on dry to wet-dry, mostly fresh sites. Characteristically, they have a multitude of blooming herbs and numerous low, middle and high grasses, making these meadows look diverse and colourful. Corresponding to the local conditions and the cultivating methods, there is an abundance of forms of the habitat. The numerous low-nutrient indicators are characteristic for lowland hay meadows. Additionally, one often finds endangered plant species.
Situation and endangerment of the habitat in the project area
Lowland hay meadows occur nationwide on nutrient-low sites which are used respectively. The main transmission area is in the southwest of Luxembourg. The main impairment lies within the intensifying agriculture. Fertilisation, early and abundant cuts, high livestock density and drainage lead to the loss of the habitat. Another problem is caused by the loss of surface area through construction.
Provisions within the project
Purchase of 30 ha. Extensification of the use and, if needed, renaturation of the meadows and resettlement of highly endangered plant species.

Tomb of Askia
Located in the region of Gao in Mali and built in the fifteenth century, the Tomb of Askia is a monument which is a testament to the wonders of a dynasty fell, for the accuracy of the Songhai dynasty. The tomb bears the name of the founder of the third dynasty and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its 17 meters high, the tomb is the most imposing monument of pre-colonial in the region, and is also the earliest example of Islamic style of architecture which later spread to the region and an example of how you are architecture fused Islam and North Africa. Regularly used as a mosque and cultural center for the city of Gao, the Tomb of Askia is definitely a must for anyone who goes on a visit to Mali.

The larval development and survival in the two subantarctic lithodid crabs Lithodes santolla (Jaquinot) and Paralomis granulosa (Molina) from the Argentine Beagle Channel were studied in laboratory cultures. In L. santolla, larval development lasted about 70 days, passing through three zoeal stages and the megalopa stage, with a duration of approximately 4, 7, 11 and 48 days, respectively. The larval development in P. granulosa is more abbreviated, comprising only two zoeal stages and the megalopa stage, with 6, 11 and 43 days' duration, respectively. In both species, we tested for effects of presence versus absence of food (Artemia nauplii) on larval development duration and survival rate. In P. granulosa, we also studied effects of different rearing conditions, such as individual versus mass cultures, as well as aerated versus unaerated cultures. No differences in larval development duration and survival were observed between animals subjected to those different rearing conditions. The lack of response to the presence or absence of potential food confirms, in both species, a complete lecithotrophic mode of larval development. Since lithodid crabs are of high economic importance in the artisanal fishery in the southernmost parts of South America, the knowledge of optimal rearing conditions for lithodid larvae is essential for future attempts at repopulating the collapsing natural stocks off Tierra del Fuego.

Might As Well Jump
Laszlo Laufer and Bottyan Nemeth, two Hungarian researchers at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, have found that gamer's button pressing is predicatable two seconds beforehand based on skin conductance. Using a basic game called YetiSports JungleSwing that involves a yeti jumping from tree to tree, they measured volunteer's heart rate, skin conductance and electrical activity. After analysis of the data, they found that skin conductance by itself is enough to predict a jump two seconds before the player does it.
They think the technology could have useful applications for pilots among others, helping to speed up reaction time. They also see usefulness in computer games that could incessantly piss you off by predicting your next move. Sensors could probably easily be built into the next generation of console controllers with feedback actually affecting gameplay. To what extent is obviously unknown, but this should come in handy when somebody creates a game where you have to fight a gun-wielding psychic.

 5. [Grammar] Suffix: -dir
[Grammar] Suffix: -dir
After countless questions about the usage of "-dir", I thought we should have a small guide on the topic.
How many of you guys have started hating this annoying suffix?
This suffix has a number of uses, but I'll just talk about 3 of them here and see how it goes:
I. When writing a sentence, "writing" being the keyword here, if you're stating important facts, "important" being the keyword here, then you should use "-dir".
For example, you want to write: "Phobos is a satellite of Mars"? Yes, that's a fact. And it's pretty important! (Mind you, soon we're going to Mars). Had it been a satellite of Uranus, you wouldn't need it, because we're not going there anytime soon!................ (Just kidding. You would use it there too. It's all encyclopaedical information. You need the "-dir" with such statements.)
But this is when writing. When speaking, it's up to you really. I never use it when I speak, for instance.
Also remember my remark about using the "-dir" in important facts. So please don't walk around saying "-dir" with sentences like "This chicken smells fishy", "The weather is nice today," "My father is in the kitchen," or "My car is a BMW," because everyone knows a Mercedes is better……… And also because none of these are encyclopaedical pieces of information. TL;DR : No one cares about your car. (I love BMWs btw. Contact me and we can exchange photos).
If it seems hard to decide when to use it, just never use it. It's much worse (for the listeners) when you use it in the wrong place than when you simply discard it where it's expected. You'll learn it in time. No rush.
II. Here comes the weird part: the "-dir" is also used when you're not too sure of something. After reading the first rule about encyclopaedical usage of "-dir" which you state established facts with, this might seem like a paradox. But this is usually a spoken language thing, although it's fine to use it in writing too. For example, you're about to rob a bank with some friends. (With friends like that…) And one of them asks: "So where do you think they're keeping all the money?" (He's asking in Turkish, btw. So feel free to ask him to take his sock-mask off so you can hear him clearly; Turkish is hard to understand as it is!) And so you turn to him with rolling eyes: "Probably in the vault?" You could say: "Muhtemelen kasada," but wait! Don't kill the moment! Remember this guide and use the "-dir"! "Muhtemelen kasadadır." That's not necessarily a fact. With the "-dir", you mean: "I mean I haven't seen it, but that's probably the case."
Another example: "You give a bacon to the cat, but it won't eat it." (Dogs > cats. _TAG_ popcorn#) So you go to your friend and say: "The cat's not eating the bacon." Your friend might say: "Aç değil." He's not hungry, hinting he had fed him earlier. But, he could also say: "Aç değildir," which would mean: "He's probably not hungry".
III. You would use "-dir" also to indicate the duration of something. English uses "for" for this. "5 saattir buradayım." → I've been here for 5 hours, or: "Sen o şehre taşındığında 10 yıldır orada yaşıyordum." (When you moved to that city, I'd been living there for 10 years). But remember, you can only use it when in English you would use a perfect tense. Otherwise you can't. For example a sentence like "I'll be in London for 5 days," would not allow "-dir". No perfect tense is used. So: "Dört gün Londra'da olacağım." You could use "boyunca" in this case if you really want to use something: "Dört gün boyunca Londra'da olacağım."
I hope this sheds some light on the matter!

Your posts are amazing. I thought Turkish was going to be very difficult to learn; however, the course is constructed so well with clear and comprehensive tips and notes, relevant sentences in exercises (you guys went to the extent of adding different words which sound or appear similar to the same "logical" sentence so that we know the difference!), logical progression of skills and most importantly brilliant moderators, who are very active in the discussion rooms and explain every issue with such clarity. My mind is blown away, not only am I finding the Turkish course the easiest to learn (I tried different apps before and was fed up with how difficult the language seemed to be!), this course is actually helping me improve my English grammar! Çok acayıp, çok şaşırtıcı! In short, I want to declare to the universe that I love the Turkish course moderators, the course and language itself, Doulingo and Turkey!! Çok teşekkür ederim :-)
Very good explanation, indeed! For the first one I would like add some points that I consider important. I think -dir is used mostly in written and formal language. I recently realized that I have seen it quite often in warning and information texts in public places such as subways, buses, concerts, restaurants, shopping malls... Let me give a couple examples
İki bira alana bir tane ücretsizdir. - One beer is free when you buy two beers. (Written on a menu or on a signboard on the table.)
Sistem geçici süreyle servis dışıdır. - The system is temporarily unavailable. (Written on a screen at subway)
Film gösterimi üst kattadır. - The movie screening is at the top floor. (Written on a signboard)
However advertisements don't like it very much. They usually use -dir when giving necessary information in small fonts such as 'KDV dahildir'. (Vat is included). But if this is part of advertising/campaign they don't use it and say KDV Dahil! (Vat is included!) in big fonts. Because it's less formal, so more attractive.
So when you want to go formal, official or public (all in all, BORING) you can prefer to use -dir. It's usually used in written language (especially public or formal) and public speechs. In daily speaking some people may also use it in order to sound very assuring and confident especially when they try to prove their points or teach something. It can make a statement sound something very true and need to be accepted/learned. I personally find it a bit bumptious, smarty or distant in a one to one conversation.
Yes in one word it can be explained as boring.
Funny and informative! Thanks! They made a good choice, adding you to Team Turkish.

 I laughed like an idiot ahahah I love the way you explained the whole topic, gg wp
 Hilarious and helpful. (Everyone knows Turkish cats are Muslim and don't eat bacon. Look it up on the encyclopedia.)
 However, it's very peculiar and subtle. İt'll take years to master, no doubt. (That's a "-dir")
 Very useful and funny, I will never forget the puzzled robber :) Thanks and have a lingot!
 Have writtin more articals? If yes please give me the links, because you are hilarious! I really did enjoy the reading :D
 I loved everything about this post as a Turkish person! :) Great job. If anyone needs help i would be more than happy to participate :3
 Simply Amazing. You explained it so well and in such a witty way, that it really becomes very interesting to read it again and again. And after reading this, I am reading all your comments you have ever posted. I have to search "Ektoraskan" in order to read your posts. Is there any other way to find all your/his posts?
 Thanks again
 Your posts are blowing my mind. Thanks! :)
 for the first one, in order to use -dir, the verb must be ''to be''
 Very well written!
 teşekkür ederim, çok faydalı.....
 hahaha, so funny! sağ ol!
 I wish I had read this earlier, would've saved me a lot of time and head-scratching! I remember reading that -dir is sometimes used when the word on its own sounds vague(probably in longer sentences)? If that is indeed true, I would like some examples, please! :D
 P.S. Cats > Dogs :p
 [deactivated user]
 nice explanation sir.
 1. Loved the explanation! 2. Does this work for past as well? E.g If I want to say "It was the correct file" (really stressing the fact that it was (:) Thanks!
 very useful :):)
 you are a good teacher, although I didn't grab the entire subject but I'm happy that it's something that we can skip in speaking.

Unable to open command file "filename": [ec:OS error message]
Unable to open remote parse result file "filename": [ec:OS error message]
During a cluster build, Electric Make (eMake) is invoked on the cluster hosts when a submake is invoked by the build, and when makefiles are parsed to determine the work that needs to be done in the build. In either case, the eMake process on the cluster hosts communicates with the Electric Agent process by means of a file on disk containing the results of the cluster-side invocation. These error messages indicate that the cluster-side eMake process was unable to open that file. The OS error message provides the specific cause of the failure.
Because the error involves an external system in this context (the filesystem on the eMake host), the list of possible causes for this error is virtually limitless: a corrupted filesystem; hardware failure; insufficient permissions; and so on. Refer to the specific OS error message to determine the cause of the failure.
One common cause of this error on Unix systems is that the directory containing the file is not writable by the user running the build.
Remember that the path referenced in the error message is on a cluster host, not on the build host. You can reference the annotation file to determine the host where the error occurred.
The fix depends on the cause of the error.

What is a rhombille grid?
A rhombille grid is a tessellation of the plain in identical rhombi. (The term was coined by John Conway in his book The Symmetries of Things. He also created The Game of Life.)
One of the earliest games that used an isometric view, Q*bert (1982), used a grid like this to simulate a limited 3D environment. Indeed, with appropriate shading, the tiling resemble a stack of 3D cubes. At the time, the game was praised for its innovative graphics.
Another game that uses a rhombille grid is Rhomboid Slitherlinks, a set of puzzles created by Jim Bumgardner, using tilings supplied by Lars Huttar (Edit: I previously only credited Jim. Lars explains in a comment below how the puzzles came about. I apologize for the omission.). A Slitherlink is a puzzle where the goal is to draw in edges of a grid so that they form a single, continuous line that does not cross itself. Some cells have numbers; these indicate the number of edges of that cell that are part of the solution line.
The rombille grid has another feature that makes them useful for games. Rhombille grids are the edge-grids of hexagonal and triangular grids. In other words, if we are interested in the edges of these types of grids, we could consider them the faces of appropriate rhombille grids. For instance, if we use a rhombus tile with the long diagonal of the rhombus drawn in, the resulting grid will be a triangular grid. If we use tiles with the short diagonal drawn in instead, the resulting grid is a hexagonal grid.
There are not many examples of games played on the edges of these types of grids. There is a version of Dots for hexagonal grids, and hexagonal Sliterlink puzzles. The Settlers of Catan has a road-building mechanic on the edges of the hexes. Another interesting game is Vertex Dispenser, where players play on the edges (really, from vertex to vertex) to gain territory, similar to Dots. Unlike the other examples, this game uses grids on 3D shapes.
When you work with edges for hex or tri grids, there are several advantages to work with rhomb tiles instead of tris or hexes:
- It is easier to draw the edges, since you are not near the edge of the tile. This gives you more freedom to play with the lines.
- Since each edge has it's own tile, you only have to use one tile. In a tri grid such as the one below, you would need two different tiles.
- It is easier to make the edges clickable.
There are many ways in which we can assign coordinates to the cell in a rhombille grid. One technique that works well is to group the rhombi into groups of three, where each group forms a hexagon. We can then make a coordinate from the hex coordinate, and an index that indicates the orientation (and hence also which of the three rhombi in the group we mean).
This is the scheme followed in the image at the top of this post. You will notice that groups of three rhombi with the same colors make up a hexagon (or a cube). The first part of the rhomb coordinate is the hex-coordinate of the hex that it is part of (see Amit Patel's article on grid math for more detail on hex coordinates). The last part is an index indicating it's orientation.
The neighbors of a cell in a rhombille grid is complex.
In the image above, the blue cell has four 1-neighbors (the green cells), four 2-neighbors (the yellow cells) and ten 3-neighbors (the red cells).
If we view the rhomb grid as a edge hex-grid, then the 1-neighbors of a cell are all the edges connected to the edge in that cell. If we view the rhomb grid as a edge tri grid, then the 1-, 2- and 3- neighbors of a cell contain the edges connected to the edge in that cell.
In Q*bert, only "flat" cells are accessible. In this case, neighbors do not share an edge or even a vertex.

Synonyms for opinionatedəˈpɪn yəˌneɪ tɪd
This thesaurus page is about all possible synonyms and similiar words for the term opinionated
English Synonyms and Antonyms, by James Champlin Fernald
Dogmatic is technically applied in a good sense to that which is formally enunciated by adequate authority; doctrinal to that which is stated in the form of doctrine to be taught or defended. Dogmatic theology, called also "dogmatics," gives definite propositions, which it holds to be delivered by authority; systematic theology considers the same propositions in their logical connection and order as parts of a system; a doctrinal statement is less absolute in its claims than a dogmatic treatise, and may be more partial than the term systematic would imply. Outside of theology, dogmatic has generally an offensive sense; a dogmatic statement is one for which the author does not trouble himself to give a reason, either because of the strength of his convictions, or because of his contempt for those whom he addresses; thus dogmatic is, in common use, allied with arrogant and kindred words.

11.1 Meaning and concept of sports training
Training has been referred to as a systematic exercise of effort for a considerable time, to develop the ability to five greater loads, especially for competitions. Sports training provides the other with the basic means to adapt to his particular stressor, through controlled exercise. This adaptation on the part of an athletes body answered, that his body is prepared fora greater load, This process is called training
Concept of Training :- Training for achieving something of for competition is not a new idea, with the passage of time more time and efforts are being devoted to training of preparation for competitions, with the invention of new techniques every now and then in the field of athletics, weight training methods has shown very encouraging results.
Training for any game or event has become very technical and a scientific approach is needed to get the desired results.
11.2 Principles of Sports Training
The principles of laws of sports training as follows:-
1. Principles of continuity
2. The principle of overload
3. The principle of Individual Differences
4. Principles of general and speech preparation
5. Principles of progression
6. Principles of specificity
7. Principles of variety
8. The principle of warmup and cool down
9. Principles of rest and recovery.
10. Warming up and Limbering Down
11.3 Warming up: It is a short-term activity carried out prior to any server or skilled activities. Warming up is an initial for a competition. Through such a workout we try to bring the group of muscles expected to take part in the activity to follow. It is primarily preparatory activity in which physiological and physiological of an athlete for the main activityFig: Warm upTypes of Worm up- (1) General Warm-up
(2) Specific warm-up
Limbering down or cooling down:-
At the and of the training session or competition, athletes are normally advised to worm down. This is done normally in the shape of light but continuous activity such as jogging or walking for some time at the end of the event. Such an activity after the competition of on activity after the competition of on event is called limbering down or cooling down.
11.4 Load [LOAD, ADAPTATION, AND RECOVERY]
1. Load:- The load is defined as weight or source of pressure. It is generally called an external stressor. It can also be explained as the amount of work to be done by a person or a machine. In the training of an athlete as a player, it refers to the total amount of work expected from him on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, heading in training can be done in various ways, therefore load is known a work of exercise that a sports person performs in a training can be done in various ways. A person performs in a training session.
2. Adaptation:- Continued exposure to an extra load in the training of an athlete leads to an adjustment in his body function that enables him to bear the extra load without feeling uneasiness. To obtain a higher degree of adaptation the lead or stressor should be increased gradually, overloading no doubt leads to adaptation.
Recovery means the restoration of the body to a normal state after a period of intense training for competition. This period is also referred to a period of regeneration during which stressor related efforts are gradually eliminated. The increase in heart rate and respiratory rate depends on the intensity of the workout.
Fig: RecoveryThe time take by an individual's pulse rate to come down to 80-85 beats per minute would be the recovery period. During the recovery period, the body's resting state is restored.
11.5 Skill [SKILL, TECHNIQUE, AND STYLE]
1. Skill is an element of performance that enables the performer to do a large amount of work with little effort. The apparent visible ease of muscular work indicates a skillful movement or performance. In other words, it can be said that skill is the ability to do something well. Skill is that are unnatural and complex can be learned more easily if the different elements in the movements can be separated and learned by parts.
It means the way of doing a particular task scientifically. This way of doing a thing should be based on scientific principles and be effective in achieving an aim. It is a basic movement of any sports or event. We can say that a technique is a way of performing the skill.
It is the manner of doing something that is characteristics of a particular person or pattern. It may or may not be based on sound principles. A style of doing a movement, If perfect, looks graceful and appealing. It is an individuals expression of technique in motor action, there fare each sportsperson due to his specific physical and biological capacities realize the technique in a different way. symptoms of overload and how to overcome it
11.6 What is overload?
Overload is not something that only needs to be applied on a daily basis, it must be applied over a lifetime of training. The final principle deals with the importance of applying overload logically overtime.Fig: Overloading in sportsDuring training, which is beyond the capacity is known as overload.
Causes of overload
There can be various causes of over-load It could be because of various factors. How to Overcome Over Load
a) Through observation
b) Plan the training
c) Proper Nutrition
d) Psychological strategies
e) Social Interaction
11.7 Free - Play
— "Play is fun"! This is how children usually respond when asked about the play. But the play is more than just fun. The play is engaging voluntary and spontaneous. Free play is a way for children to learn more about. 'Who they are'? and "What they can do".
— All children have a right to play. It is a process by which children learn. Good quality play opportunity has a significant impact on child development.
— Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, physical, cognitive and emotional strength. The play is important to healthy brain development.
— It is through play that children a very early age engage and interact in the world around them.

Self efficacies consist of self efficacy towards mathematics and self efficacy towards number sense. Students' mathematics performances consist of their number sense, problem solving achievement, mathematics achievement and perceiving of daily life mathematics. In this study pre-test-posttest control group design which is a quantitative research designs was used. The study was conducted in two sixth grade classes from a public school in Çankaya, Ankara in the 2012-2013 academic year, lasting total fifteen weeks including 13 weeks implementation of lesson plans and 2 weeks implementation of scales. In this process, while the students in the experimental group were passing through a number sense based instruction, the students in the control group continued with the intruction which is composed with the guidance of the text book. In the study "Numeracy Test" was used in order to determine the number sense of students. In order to measure self-efficacy towards mathematics "Self-Efficacy Perception Scale", to measure self-efficacy towards number sense "Self-Efficacy Towards Number Sense Scale", to measure awareness of daily life mathematics Mathematics in Daily Life Scale", to measure problem solving achievement "Problem Solving Test" and mathematics course final grade in order to determine mathematical achievements were used. The data were analyzed by MANOVA analysis using the SPSS 15.0 package program. The results revealed that number sense-based instruction had a significant effect on students' number sense, awareness of daily life mathematics and, problem solving achievement compared to the instruction that not based on number sense. There was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of their self efficacies towards mathematics and number sense and the mathematics achievement.

CSS Process Overview
WHAT IS CONTEXT SENSITIVE SOLUTIONS (CSS)?
Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that involves the community and all key stakeholders in the planning and design of a transportation facility that fulfills its purpose while complementing and enhancing the context in which it is situated. It is an approach that leads to preserving and enhancing scenic, aesthetic, cultural, historic, community and environmental resources, while maintaining or improving mobility, capacity and safety. The CSS process involves all stakeholders, including community members, interest groups, elected officials, and affected local, state and federal agencies. It puts project needs and both agency and community values on a level playing field and considers all trade-offs in the decision-making and project development process.
The I-49 Lafayette Connector CSS process was originally designed so that the 21 commitments in the 2003 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) Record of Decision (ROD) were fully addressed. The commitments identified key project-related features where minimization and mitigation measures to address adverse impacts, in addition to potential enhancements, would be required to implement the Selected Alternative, commonly referred to as the 2003 ROD Alternative. Furthermore, the Summary of Decision included within the ROD indicated that the LCG Corridor Preservation and Management Action Plan would be the guiding document for the I-49 Lafayette Connector design and construction integration. This document also supported a CSS-based approach to achieve the overriding stakeholder goals of enhancing "community connectedness" and building a "signature place," versus simply a "signature structure", through comprehensive project planning, design and implementation.
The CSS process was initiated in September 2015 with the intent to focus community outreach, discussion and debate primarily on the CSS design features of the 2003 ROD Alternative, it became very apparent that the community desired a more in-depth discussion and evaluation of potential refinements to that alternative. Twelve years had passed since the ROD and almost that many since the suspension of the last planning/design process, and the community had undergone significant change. In response to these community concerns, the DOTD/LCP Team conducted a Concept Refinement Process (CRP) in place of the CSS program in order to gather input from the community and project committees to complete what became the Alternatives Analysis of the Supplemental EIS (SEIS). The process included:
1. Review and discussion of the changes that had taken place in the community;
2. Identification of potential refinements to the 2003 ROD Alternative; and
3. Review those potential refinements from both community and technical perspectives, through a three-tiered evaluation process, eventually leading to a recommendation from the Executive Committee (EC) for environmental evaluation in the SEIS.
In accordance with the long-standing determination of the Path to Progress Report all Refinement Concept ideas considered during the CRP were along the Evangeline Thruway corridor. The CSS process became the Alternatives Analysis for the SEIS to reflect the community's desire to explore modifications to the 2003 ROD Alternative (e.g. elimination of Downtown interchanges, replaced by more neighborhood/Downtown friendly corridor connectivity, realignment of MLK Drive/Castille Avenue connection, simplification of the Kaliste Saloom and University/Surry interchanges to minimize airport impacts, height and design of mainline viaduct through the central area, cross corridor connectivity, multimodal accommodations, etc). The result was the identification of the Refinement Alternatives to be studied in the SEIS.
The I-49 Lafayette Connector CSS Program will strive to:
- Reach a common vision for the I-49 Lafayette Connector with the community and key stakeholders through a collaborative process that addresses three of levels of community context:
- Study Area Level I (I-49 Lafayette Connector right-of-way): transportation facilities and related features within the right-of-way
- Study Area Level II (immediate 500-foot influence area either side of corridor): enhancement of community cohesion and neighborhood connectivity on both sides of the right-of-way
- Study Area Level III (immediately impacted adjacent neighborhoods): assurance that Level I and II elements complement the revitalization program for immediately adjacent neighborhoods that is being addressed through the Evangeline Corridor Initiative
- Prepare the CSS Design Standards Manual for the final design and construction of a I-49 Lafayette Connector that provides regional mobility, excellent community access and a variety of features that complement Downtown and the adjacent neighborhoods:
- Structure the CSS process to facilitate informed project implementation phasing and rapid progression into final design and project construction
The I-49 Lafayette Connector CSS Program will be carried out through a two-tiered advisory group/committee structure. The DOTD has established the new Lafayette Connector Advisory Committee (LCAG), replacing the Community Work Group (LCAG) and Technical Advisory Committee utilized in the CRP and will continue to utilize the Executive Committee (EC), which is made up of the directors and senior staff of the Project Partner Agencies (FHWA, DOTD, MPO, LCG).
The LCAG and EC are scheduled to meet regularly and at key milestones in order to discuss and provide input and direction on design elements for the I-49 Lafayette Connector project. The design decisions made through this process will be compiled into the CSS Design Standards Manual for the project. The specific roles of the two committees are as follows:
- Lafayette Connector Advisory Group:
To provide combined community and technical input and recommendations on the various design feature areas and elements listed below under CSS Design Workshops.
- Executive Committee:
To review all recommendations from the LCAG, neighborhood outreach and public workshops and to make a recommendation to the DOTD and FHWA on the Preferred Alternative and the various mitigation measures, potential design enhancements and proposed joint use development projects identified through the CSS process.
In addition to the two-tiered advisory group/committee structure, neighborhood meetings will be held at key milestones with each existing neighborhood coterie and other organizations along the corridor; Partner Agency Meetings will be held concurrent with CSS Design Workshops to provide input on mitigation measures, potential design enhancements and proposed joint use development projects; and Public Workshops will be conducted at key milestones in the CSS Process to provide input to the Executive Committee.

- Corridor-Wide Landscape Architectural Features
The CSS Design Standards Manual will document the Connector design feature areas and elements discussed, reviewed, analyzed, prioritized and accepted as project components by the DOTD and FHWA based on the Executive Committee (EC) recommendation of the Preferred Alternative. These recommendations will be the products of the 13-month CSS process discussed above, through all its community involvement, stakeholder outreach, agency coordination and Advisory Group/Committee work process.
The intent of the CSS Design Standards Manual is to inform the final design of the I-49 Lafayette Connector project and related improvements in regard to corridor aesthetic consistency, community integration and compliance with all stakeholder and community input. The initial design feature areas and elements of the I-49 Lafayette Connector were first defined by the community, staff and public officials in the initial CSS process that was not completed for the 2003 ROD Alternative. These will be revised and refined through this CSS process. These elements are key form-giving project components that fulfill the project's mobility objectives and have the ability to make the project a "signature place" of significant benefit to its surroundings; establish community connectedness between the neighborhoods and various districts along the corridor; and provide a sense of community integration and cohesion through thoughtful references to the region's history and culture.

A SelectorMap encapsulates a number of Regions that all have the same number of axes and represent the same coordinate Frame. The number of inputs (Nin attribute) of the SelectorMap equals the number of axes spanned by one of the encapsulated Region. All SelectorMaps have only a single output. SelectorMaps do not define an inverse transformation.
For each input position, the forward transformation of a SelectorMap searches through the encapsulated Regions (in the order supplied when the SelectorMap was created) until a Region is found which contains the input position. The index associated with this Region is returned as the SelectorMap output value (the index value is the position of the Region within the list of Regions supplied when the SelectorMap was created, starting at 1 for the first Region). If an input position is not contained within any Region, a value of zero is returned by the forward transformation.
If a compound Mapping contains a SelectorMap in series with its own inverse, the combination of the two adjacent SelectorMaps will be replaced by a UnitMap when the compound Mapping is simplified using AST_SIMPLIFY.
In practice, SelectorMaps are often used in conjunction with SwitchMaps.

Azo dye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Chemical structure of an orange colored azo dye
Azo dyes are organic compounds bearing the functional group R−N=N−R′, in which R and R′ are usually aryl. They are a commercially important family of azo compounds, i.e. compounds containing the linkage C-N=N-C.[1] Azo dyes are widely used to treat textiles, leather articles, and some foods. Chemically related to azo dyes are azo pigments, which are insoluble in water and other solvents.[2][3]
Many kinds of azo dyes are known, and several classification systems exist. Some classes include disperse dyes, metal-complex dyes, reactive dyes, and substantive dyes. Also called direct dyes, substantive dyes are employed for cellulose-based textiles, which includes cotton. The dyes bind to the textile by non-electrostatic forces. In another classification, azo dyes can be classified according to the number of azo groups.
Trypan blue is an example of a direct dye, used for cotton.
Physical properties, structure, and bonding[edit]
As a consequence of п-delocalization, aryl azo compounds have vivid colors, especially reds, oranges, and yellows. An example is Disperse Orange 1. Some azo compounds, e.g., methyl orange, are used as acid-base indicators. Most DVD-R/+R and some CD-R discs use blue azo dye as the recording layer.
Many phenolic diazo dyes participate in tautomeric equilibria shown here in simplified form (Ar = aryl).[4]
Azo dyes are solids. Most are salts, the colored component being the anion usually, although some cationic azo dyes are known. The anionic character of most dyes arises from the presence of 1-3 sulfonic acid groups, which are fully ionized at the pH of the dyed article:
RSO3H → RSO3 + H+
Most proteins are cationic, thus dyeing of leather and wool corresponds to an ion exchange reaction. The anionic dye adheres to these articles through electrostatic forces. Cationic azo dyes typically contain quaternary ammonium centers.
Most azo dyes are prepared by azo coupling, which entails an electrophilic substitution reaction of an aryl diazonium cation with another compound, the coupling partner. Classically coupling partners are other aromatic compounds with electron-donating groups:[5]
+ Ar′H → ArN=NAr′ + H+
In practice, acetoacetic amide are widely used as coupling partners:
+ Ar′NHC(O)CH2C(O)Me → ArN=NCH(C(O)Me)(C(O)NHAr′) + H+
Azo dyes are also prepared by the condensation of nitroaromatics with anilines followed by reduction of the resulting azoxy intermediate:
ArNO2 + Ar′NH2 → ArN(O)=NAr′ + H2O
ArN(O)=NAr′ + C6H12O6 → ArN=NAr′ + C6H10O6 + H2O
For textile dying, a typical nitro coupling partner would be disodium 4,4′-dinitrostilbene-2,2′-disulfonate. Typical aniline partners are shown below. Since anilines are prepared from nitro compounds, some azo dyes are produced by partial reduction of aromatic nitro compounds.[3]
Many azo dyes are produced by reactions from pre-existing azo compounds. Typical reactions include metal complexation and acylation.
Azo pigments[edit]
Azo pigments are similar in chemical structure to azo dyes, but they lack solubilizing groups. Because they are insoluble in virtually all media, they are not readily purified, and thus require highly purified precursors.
Synthesis of C.I. Pigment Yellow 12, an azo pigment (also classified as a diarylide pigment).
Azo pigments are important in a variety of plastics, rubbers, and paints (including artist's paints). They have excellent coloring properties, mainly in the yellow to red range, as well as good lightfastness. The lightfastness depends not only on the properties of the organic azo compound, but also on the way they have been absorbed on the pigment carrier.
In order for dyes to be useful, they must possess a high degree of chemical and photolytic stability. As a result of this stability, photolysis is not considered to be a degradation pathway for azo dyes. In order to prolong the lifetime of products dyed with azo dyes, it is essential to ensure stability against microbial attack, and tests have shown that azo dyes biodegrade negligibly in short term tests under aerobic conditions. Under anaerobic conditions, however, discoloration may be observed as a consequence of biodegradation.[6]
Safety and regulation[edit]
Many azo pigments are non-toxic, although some, such as dinitroaniline orange, ortho-nitroaniline orange, or pigment orange 1, 2, and 5 are mutagenic and carcinogenic.[7][8]
Azo dyes derived from benzidine are carcinogens; exposure to them has classically been associated with bladder cancer.[9] Accordingly, the production of benzidine azo dyes was discontinued in the 1980s in many western countries.[10]
European regulation[edit]
Certain azo dyes degrade under reductive conditions to release any of a group of defined aromatic amines. Consumer goods which contain listed aromatic amines originating from azo dyes were prohibited from manufacture and sale in European Union countries in September 2003. As only a small number of dyes contained an equally small number of amines, relatively few products were affected.[2]
