Allow only 4 digits in field
Allow only 4 digits in field
Views: 120
I need to limit a field on a form, to allow the user to enter time in 24 hour format. But I need to set it to only allow 4 digits, including beginning with zeros. When I use something like Like "####", it doesnt allow leading zeros. Anybody know how this can be done

Query that splits digits into 2 seperate fields
I use access 2007 and need to run query that extracts data from a field which has 10 digits(numbers) in it but the first digits(numbers) mean something different from the next 2 digits(numbers). Does anyone how to run a query that would extract those 4 digits(numbers) from the that field and put them into 2 seperate fields which for now I will call field "A" and field "B

Display only the last four digits of identification numbers
I know how to get excel to show only the last four digits of ID numbers. At first I thought I can just import the excel file with the last four digits and hide the column with the full ID numbers but all got imported to Access. If I am stuck with this, how do I get Access field to display only the last 4 digits? I do not want to show "***-**-****", just the last 4 digits only.
In excel I would use the RIGHT function, "=RIGHT(A1,4)." Can I do this type of function, "=RIGHT([field name],4)?
Integer-Based Data Types
A number is a digit (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9), a combination of digits, or a combination of one or more digits, a separator, and one or more digits. Microsoft Access supports three categories of numbers and there are various ways you can apply one to a field. You can work in either the Datasheet View or the Design View of a Table.
On database open check field for blanks and extract last 4 digits from other field?
new question.
I want to make the database (a simple table) loop through every record in the field "Last4SSno" and extract the last 4 digits from "SSno" if the "Last4SSno" field is blank, or if the 4 digits in Last4SSno does not match the last 4 digits of "SSno". I have google searched for hours, but I cannot even think of how to phrase a google query right now, and I'm getting a little fried on the idea. I would prefer to do this on database open, but if it has to be done some other way, that is acceptable as well, I'm just adept enough to modify the code to my own uses, it's just the *Private sub OnDBOpen* part and the *DoCMD.RunSQL Insert * in Last4SSno Right("SSno", 4) where "Last4SSno" isnull* part that I cannot seem to find help on(I think).
I could have the whole problem backwards, I just don't know anymore.
Using Data Types
A number is a digit (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9), a combination of digits, or a combination of one or more digits, a separator, and one or more digits. Microsoft Access provides three techniques or categories of numbers. These should be applied appropriately to make your database as effective as possible. To specify that a column will contain only numeric values, after displaying the table in Design View and selecting the column under Field Name, set its Data Type to Number, Currency, or AutoNumber.
ADD "0" TO the number
I am stuck here for a while and I hope you help me. I have failry large table called NANCAP in a database in where I upload large Excel spreadsheets. There is a filed called code and it can be one digit such as 1,2,3,and so on, and it can be two digits 22,23,50,78 and three digits 100,105. There is not problem with three digits code, but I need two 0's to be added to one and one "0" to be added to two digits code to make like this 003,009,025,050. The code uploaded like this :2,3,50,100,105.I am trying to do that by using the update query, however I can not fugure out how to put this into query that Access will see where one "0" or two "00" to be added to the filed based on number of digits in the field

Sounds interesting, but I do not quite get it yet. In the third displayed equality, the exponent should be $2/n$; correct? Could you explain why "$F$ maps conformally the exterior etc" (and what are the $a_i$s)? Exactly what do you mean by $F(z)\sim z$? What is the capacity in your context and why the assertion is equivalent to Dubinin's theorem? Thanks in advance for the explanations (and welcome to the MO)! – Seva Aug 4 '12 at 9:25
Seva, I corrected the misprint 2/n. $F(z)\sim z$ means as usual that $F(z)/z\to 1$ as $z\to\infty$. To see that it is a conformal map and to find the image, look how it behaves on the unit circle: the argument is constant on the arcs between any $z_j,z_{j+1}$. So these arcs are maped on some segments $[0,a_k]$. What are the $a_k$? Some complex numbers. $|a_k|$ is the maximum of $|F|$ on the corresponding arc. The angles between the segments are $2\pi p_j/n$. – Alexandre Eremenko Aug 4 '12 at 17:22
And what is the capacity of $K$? – Seva Aug 4 '12 at 18:11
You can look for various equivalent definitions of logarithmic capacity in any textbook, but for our purposes a connected compact has capacity $1$ if the conformal map of its exterior onto the exterior of the unit disc safisfies $F(z)/z\to 1$. Our map satisfies this. – Alexandre Eremenko Aug 4 '12 at 19:59
Not an answer, but maybe an useful reference:
Your statement reminds me of Schiefermayr's theorem:
If $p_n$ is a degree $n$ polynomial and $\Sigma\subseteq\mathbb{R}$. Then $$ \|p_n\|_{L^{\infty}(\Sigma)} \geq 2 Cap(\Sigma)^n $$ where $Cap(\Sigma)$ is the logarithmic capacity of $\Sigma$, e.g. $Cap([-2,2]) = 1$.
This is Corollary~5.7.7. in Barry Simon's book: Szego's Theorem and its decendents.
Unfortunately, this does not apply in your case, since it requires the work with subsets of the real line. However, you are close to this situation, since you require the zeros of your polynomial to be on the unit circle.

Another problem seems to be that my product is not a polynomial in $z$. – Seva May 9 '11 at 5:24
Here is an observation that didn't get me very far. Let $p$ have degree $n$ and have $r$ distinct roots, all on the unit circle. Call these roots $e^{i \theta_j}$, where $\theta_k$ has multiplicity $c_j$.
Set $$q(u) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{j=1}^r \left( c_j \left( u + e^{i \theta_j} \right) \prod_{\substack{1 \leq k \leq r \\ k \neq j}} \left( u - e^{i \theta_k} \right) \right).$$ Then $q$ is a monic polynomial of degree $r$, all of whose roots are on the unit circle. They occur at precisely the places where $|p(e^{i \phi})|$ has a local maximum. Your goal is to show that, at one of these local maxima, we have $|p| \geq 2^{n/r}$.
I had a detailed computation of this written out, but I couldn't find a way to make it useful, so I'm recording the formula in case it helps someone else. My plan was to show that $\prod_{\{\phi : q(e^{i \phi})=0\}} |p(e^{i \phi})| \geq 2^n$, but this inequality turned out to be false; if all the $\theta$'s are very close together, then one of the local maxima of $p$ is near $2^n$ but the other local maxima can be arbitrarily small.
share|improve this answer
By the way, an interesting observation is that the product of the roots of $q$ is negative that of the roots of $p$. That also didn't help me, though. – David Speyer May 23 '11 at 22:20

Zero-width joiner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The zero-width joiner (ZWJ) is a non-printing character used in the computerized typesetting of some complex scripts, such as the Arabic script or any of the Indic scripts. When placed between two characters that would otherwise not be connected, a ZWJ causes them to be printed in their connected forms. In some cases, such as the second Devanagari example below, the ZWJ follows the second character, rather than the first.
The character's code point is U+200D zero width joiner (HTML  · ). In the InScript keyboard layout for Indian languages, it is typed by the key combination Ctrl+Shift+1. However, many layouts use the ']' key for this character.[1]

I am trying to make a photo tutorial document of multiple captioned images with no text apart from the captions, but the images won't stay where I position them between saving and closing the document and then opening it again. A few of the images end up partly underneath a neighbouring image or half off the page and cannot be dragged back to where they should be. I have tried to anchor each captioned image as a character, but it's not solved the problem.
Is there any way to make such a document where the images will stay where they are put, and can be added to between editing sessions?

Of course, you can. But without the exact description of the anchors, we can't help much.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by an "exact description of the anchors".

For captioned images, you need to understand that you are dealing with two objects actually: an image, and a frame around the image, which holds the image and its caption. So, you need to make sure that you set anchoring of frame to As Character, if you want to define the placement correctly.
Showing formatting marks and text boundaries is very convenient way to understand what elements your document actually consists of.

When working with the inserted objects and their positions in Writer, one should first try to understand two important concepts: what anchoring the object means, and what positioning the object means.
image description
Anchoring is what is there in the document content, to which this object is linked (some fundamental entity, such as a paragraph, or a character, or a frame): it means that when that entity moves in the document, the anchored objects may move with that entity. Anchoring creates semantical link between the text content and the inserted objects: the link means something like "this object helps to understand, or decorates, or otherwise relates to this part of document"; and naturally, when e.g. the paragraph goes a couple pages forth, it doesn't make sense that a picture that illustrates something in that paragraph would stay where it were, two pages behind.
There are five possible anchoring modes: To Paragraph; To Character; As Character; To Frame; and To Page. The latter one is very special, and actually is very unfortunate to even exist. While the first four mean that an object is linked to some real fundamental document elements - paragraphs, characters, or frames, that actually constitute the document, - the To Page anchoring links objects with something ephemeral, dynamic in the world of text processing software, to something created and destroyed on demand: to a page number. Any given page is only existing there because there's some text that needs to be placed on a page. As soon as the text gets modified/reformatted, it might take less paper space than before, and any given page may become unnecessary. Or the text may grow, edits may insert content before any given text, and so any paragraph may move to following pages. But objects linked to "page number" would stay where they were, would not move anywhere; would cause blank pages to be kept - just to let the linked object stay there. There's nothing in the document that would let these objects move forward or backward - if you insert more pages "before" such objects, the objects would "jump" to "previous" pages, actually keeping anchored to the same "page number 3 in the document, no matter what". I strongly advocate against this type of anchoring.
In essence, all types of anchoring allow to define unambiguously on which page a given anchored object will be placed: for To Paragraph, To Character, As Character, To Frame, this is the page where the linked entity is placed; for To Page, it's a fixed page (as discussed).
But anchoring, while giving us the page on which the object is placed, doesn't yet describe the image position on the page (with the exception of As Character anchoring). In case of the four "floating" anchoring modes (To Paragraph; To Character; To Frame; and To Page), positioning plays role in placement on page (and even for As Character, it has some significance).
So, positioning is the way to tell where the object will be placed... (more)
edit flag offensive delete link more
Thank you for that exhaustive explanation. As I mentioned in the OP, I have anchored each image 'As Character', and I still have a few overlapping/floating off page problems. However, I didn't know about the importance of positioning. I will try to make another document, being careful to anchor and position each image as I add it, and see if that will stay'set' upon closing and reopening the document.

Vietnam to restrict surging scrap imports
For decades, China was one of the largest importers of waste and scrap materials. However, in the last few years, it has restricted imports on various types of waste and scrap material to reduce pollution. This has led to shipments being diverted to countries such as Vietnam and Malaysia, causing congestion at major ports.
In 2017, the total volume of scrap imported in Vietnam including iron, steel, plastics, and paper was twice that of 2016. Plastic scrap import during the first five months of 2018 is almost double compared to the total volume of imports in 2017. The rapid growth in imports has led to congestion in all the major ports in Vietnam, with around 6 000 containers stuck in Cat Lai Port and Hai Phong Port.
Apart from port congestion and environmental concerns, the major reasons for restricting imports and increasing inspections include the growing use of false permits, mislabeling of imports, and illegal imports.
The Vietnam Steel Association (VSA) has requested the government to allow steel producers to import 1.9 million tons of scrap for their industry annually. In addition, they have also proposed to extend licences of existing importers if they meet the environmental standards.
The association has highlighted the fact that steel produced from steel and iron scrap is an environmentally friendly process and produces only a fifth of the emissions compared to iron ore. Furthermore, as the domestic supply of metal scrap only meets 40 per cent of the industry demand, imports are a major source for steel producers.

How many checklists does it take before we have a checklist approach to disclosure?
ASX today released its interim guidance on reporting scoping studies. This has proven to be a thorny issue for miners who have sought to provide the market with guidance on the outcome of such studies, which are often conducted internally, based on a limited geological understanding on the underlying resource and within a wide range of accuracy (typically +/- 50%) regarding economic outcomes.
ASX seeks to augment the guidance provided in ASIC's revised IS 214 and, in an approach which seems at odds with a stated desire to avoid a "checklist approach" to compliance, adds a checklist for listed companies to follow in preparing scoping study announcements.
There are a number of key takeaways:
- ASIC's guidance: After the confusion and rancour following ASIC's April Information Sheet 214 – Mining and Resources – Forward Looking Statements (IS 214), which was interpreted to prohibit publication of scoping studies without present evidence of project finance, ASIC revised IS 214 in October 2016. The revision confirmed secured funding is not necessarily required in order to establish that reasonable grounds exist for a production target, but stopped short of giving guidance as to at what point an assessment of a company's relative market capitalisation, financial position, financing track record and support, relevant metrics and the state of relevant economies might provide a "reasonable basis" for a finance assumption.
- Reasonable grounds for assumptions: Both ASIC and ASX clearly state they are looking for reasonable grounds for the disclosed assumptions made as to finance, not definitive statements as to financing capacity.
ASX notes, in an apparent attempt to reassure the average compliant explorer: "resource entities at early stages of the project assessment process will often not be in a position to make definitive statements about the availability of funding needed for development…" ASX also suggests that, where there are no reasonable grounds to think any entity can raise project finance on its own, the entity might disclose what the options are, such as a sale of project equity, and what reasonable basis there is for thinking those options might be available…. but is that a lifeline, or another can of worms?
- A proximate warning: Both regulators want to see a clear statement of current financial capacity and expected finance requirements to achieve outcomes stated in a scoping study, with warnings as to a lack of certainty of funding, and the potential dilution impacts of any equity raising. ASX has provided an indicative five paragraph cautionary statement for companies' assistance, which should be used when reminding investors that the company might not be able to raise project finance when needed. The statement augments the JORC code requirement for an appropriate cautionary statement.
- Other disclosure points: ASX also reminds companies of the basics:
- Follow Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules
- Use JORC terminology
- Be fair and balanced
- Don't put forward looking statements in the headline
- Don't describe results as a per share value without reasonable grounds
- Use an approximate rounded range for targets
- Disclose assumptions about modifying factors, and a sensitivity analysis
- Your material assumptions include Section 4 of Table 1 of JORC
- Be careful with assumed timeframes and sequencing of categories of resources for production and development
- A checklist: The guidance annexes a checklist which ASX is encouraging entities to complete to verify compliance. It takes directors through the disclosure points above and Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules. Although companies aren't required to complete the checklist, in cases where ASX has concerns over a scoping study announcement, it may request the company to complete and return the checklist under Listing Rule 18.7, whereupon it will presumably find its way onto the company announcements platform.
No-one denies ASX and ASIC's work will encourage an improvement of the standard of reporting on scoping studies. However, we are now moving into a potentially uncomfortable combining of "hard" and "fuzzy" regulation of disclosure. This will increase the compliance burden for listed resource companies and doesn't help with some big questions which a checklist approach is ill-suited to answer. For example – what constitutes reasonable grounds for an assumption that a company can obtain project finance?
We expect that, like the much lamented Corporate Governance Statement in Appendix 4G, ASX is inexorably moving towards a checklist approach to disclosure in this field. But we still don't have any comfort that a combination of warning statements and a checklist approach will be enough for ASIC.

How to choose the right solvent for cleaning scientific instrumentation
Measuring instruments are typically built to measure a wide range of samples. However, the measuring cell, hoses, and connections must be cleaned after measurement to keep the device in good working condition and make sure the measurement on the next sample delivers correct results.
Choosing the most suitable solvent to clean the measuring cell(s) of a scientific instrument depends on the sample or chemical which needs to be removed from the device. The aim of a cleaning procedure is to leave the measuring device ready to use for the next measurement or experiment.
If the measuring device has a sample changer, the cleaning program can be predefined to automatically use specific solvent combinations and drying times.
Before using a solvent for the cleaning task you need to consider:
 - The type of sample which needs to be removed from the measuring cell
 - Which type of solvent could be used
 - Which order to use the solvents in
Which type of sample needs to be removed from the measuring cell?
Samples have different properties and these properties determine the solubility of the sample in a solvent. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on:
 - physical and chemical properties of the solute
 - physical and chemical properties of the solvent
 - temperature
 - pressure
 - pH of the solvent-solute solution[1]
Deciding which solvent is required to rinse out the sample follows the maxim: "Similia similibus solvuntur" (like dissolves like).
Types of solvent for cleaning scientific instrumentation
Solvents are chemicals. They can be used in their pure form or as mixtures consisting of different solvents. A solvent or cleaning agent can also simply be water mixed with some detergent.
Solvents can be classified into several categories according to their chemical structure and physical behavior[2].
To understand their behavior as cleaning agents, it is important to understand that solvents are either polar or non-polar.
What is a polar solvent?
A polar solvent is a solvent with a high polarity. The polarity of a substance affects its solubility. To determine a substance's polarity you can measure the dielectric constant. The higher the dielectric constant, the higher the polarity of the substance. Water is a polar solvent, which is indicated by its high dielectric constant of 88 (at 0 °C)[3]. Polar solvents are most suitable for dissolving polar samples.
Common polar solvents:
What is a non-polar solvent?
Solvents with a dielectric constant of less than 15 are generally considered to be non-polar[4][5]. Non-polar solvents are most suitable for dissolving non-polar samples.
Common non-polar solvents:
What is a solvent mixture?
Solvent mixtures can have several attributes. They can be polar and non-polar as well at the same time. This ambivalence often helps to dissolve tricky samples easily.[6]
A good example is the ternary mixture used for cleaning in-service oils. Dissolving in-service oils is tricky because the sample itself is a combination of soot, oil, and impurities such as water. Therefore, the solvent requires something to dissolve the oil, something to take out the water, and something so clean the soot. Further, the solvent needs a boiling point higher than 100 °C and lower than 200 °C.
 - To clean the soot > diesel
 - To clean the water > toluene (because toluene and water together make a perfect azeotrope)
 - To clean the oil > also toluene
 - To achieve the boiling point > n-butanol.
 - The perfect ratio is: toluene: diesel: n-butanol = 1:1:1
Read more about the application of this ternary mixture.
Using the right solvents in the right order
Often it is necessary to use more than one solvent, e.g. the first solvent dissolves the sample in the measuring cell and allows it to be removed easily. The second solvent rinses the first solvent out of the cell and facilitates quick drying.
Properties of the first solvent
The first solvent should dissolve the samples completely. This means that the solubility of the sample in the first solvent has to be very high. For example, samples that contain mainly alcohol can be dissolved in water or in more alcohol such as ethanol. Samples that contain fats, such as creams, can easily be dissolved in the solvent naphtha or white spirit. The easiest way to identify the type of solvent that is suitable for the sample to be diluted in is to perform a test as follows:
 1. Take a small amount of sample and put it into a glass vial
 2. Pour the solvent onto it
 3. Observe whether the solvent dissolves the sample within an acceptable period of time.
If the sample aggregates in the solvent, then the solvent is unsuitable.
If the sample starts to dissolve and homogenize in the solvent, then this was a good choice for the sample.
Properties of the second solvent
For the second solvent, it is recommended to choose a solvent that helps to reduce the drying time of the measuring device. Usually this type of solvent has a very low boiling point such as acetone or ethanol. It is also advised to choose a solvent that is not harmful and widely available.
In rare cases it is recommended to use a third solvent as well. In this case, the third solvent should also enhance the cleaning function.
The following table gives an overview about combinations of solvents and samples.
Table 1: Overview of samples and suitable solvents
Suitable solvent for cleaning
Solvent for drying
Alcohols, such as liqueurs and wines, or beer
Soluble in water and/or in ethanol
Ethanol or acetone
The sample has polar properties and is soluble in a typically polar solvent.
Honey and sugary solutions, maple syrup
Soluble in warm water
Ethanol, due to the fact that acetone is typically not allowed in food industry
Sugar dissolves in water better than in alcohol, and if heat is applied as well, then the process can be enhanced.
Waxes of biological or artificial origin
Soluble in non-polar organic solvent such as toluene, xylene, or in a warmed oil (the oil can be a low-viscosity base oil)
Cleaners naphta with a low boiling point or isopropyl alcohol
Waxes are insoluble in water and usually solid; therefore heat is needed to melt them and to properly dilute them in a solvent.
Polymers (for plastics)
Soluble in acids or organic solvent. Highly recommended as the second solvent.
Ethanol only! Ethanol quenches the organic solvent.
Polymer solutions typically aggregate in water; therefore it is necessary to follow the manufacturer's recommendations according to these samples.
Soluble in acetone and ethanol
The sample and solvent have very similar polarity. This behavior is utilized to produce eau de colognes.
Oily flavors
Soluble in acetone and white spirit
Lipophilic samples need non-polar solvents; otherwise they would form suspensions or two-phase systems.
In-service engine oils
Ternary mixture of toluene, diesel, and n-butanol (1:1:1)
Cleaner's naphtha or ethanol
The sample and the sample matrix need special cleaning conditions. Soot is cleaned out with diesel, toluene takes the oil, and the alcohol is responsible for the optimal boiling point
Crude oils
Toluene and/or xylene, either pure or as a mixture
Some cleaner's naphtha
Toluene and xylene are aromatic solvents with a high boiling point and optimal to clean sticky crude oil.
Organic resin
DMSO dissolves many organic compounds easily but it has a boiling point higher than 150 °C. Therefore, ethanol as the second solvent will help to reduce the drying time
Milk or dairy products
Water and some enzymes. Fat-dissolving enzyme solution such as tetrazyme.
Milk or dairy products are water-fat emulsions and they have a natural origin. Therefore, an enzymatic solution is necessary to remove the lipids from the system and ethanol to dry it and carry out a disinfection.
Liquid soap
Water and/or acetone. Water as a pure solvent or as a mixture with the acetone.
Water dissolves liquid soap but also leads to foam. Therefore, the acetone is needed to break the foam and to improve the water's washing ability.

The Integrated Use of Audio Diaries, Photography, and Interviews in Research with Disabled Young Men
In this article we provide a critical reflection on the integrated use of solicited audio diaries, photography, and interviews in a study with disabled young men transitioning to adulthood. In the study, we developed a methodological approach for illuminating the intersectionality of gender, disability, and generation (life stage) identities. Drawing from a critical Bourdieusian perspective, we suggest that rather than producing single or "true" accounts, the combination of methods can be used to elucidate how participants establish, maintain, and reform their identities in everyday practices. Furthermore, we discuss how participants' acts of data creation are analyzable events in themselves, wherein participants do work to establish, maintain, and reform their identities. We conclude with some lessons learned and future directions.

Adjaruli Khachapuri - Gastro Obscura
Prepared Foods
Adjaruli Khachapuri
Economists use this cheesy bread as a metric for cost of living between Georgian cities.
Georgians make khachapuri (pronounced "hatch-ah-POO-ree") all across the country. This cheese bread is so popular that economists at Tbilisi State University actually use the dish as a metric for inflation and cost of living between cities. They divide the average household income by the "Kh-index" (the cost of ingredients, as well as energy like gas or electricity, needed to produce one Imeretian-style khachapuri in a given city). This reveals how many servings the average family can afford to make in each city.
Despite the ubiquity of khachapuri, the details of this dish vary by region. It can be double-crusted, round, square, cheese-topped, or cheese-filled. Georgians incorporate a wide array of cheeses and doughs, and will cook it on a stovetop or in the oven. Some versions contain bitter greens or boiled potatoes, while others are filled with whole eggs.
Adjaruli khachapuri, hailing from the Adjara region on the coast of the Black Sea, has three distinct features: an open-faced boat shape, a raw egg, and a pat of butter on top. Adjarians fill their bread boats with sulguni, a brined cow cheese that's a little bit sour and salty, with the elasticity of mozzarella. Even better, the Kh-index indicates that Adjara is on the up and up. More boat-shaped cheese breads all around!
Need to Know
To properly eat Adjaruli khachapuri, mix the yolk and butter into the melted cheese, then rip off chunks of the bread boat to scoop up the insides. Think of it as an all-in-one fondue.

|"I show not your face but your heart's desire."|
The Fire Seed Caves were a section of Rubeus Hagrid's garden in the Forbidden Forest, so named because they were where Rubeus Hagrid grew his Fire Seed Bushes. Other than the Fire Seed Bushes, the caves were infested with Doxies, Streelers, Venomous Tentaculas, and Fire Crabs. Massive subterranean waterfalls ran through sections of the caves. Though mostly natural in environment, the Fire Seed Caves showed some sign of Hagrid's presence in them, most notably wooden portcullises blocking off certain areas.
In 1991, Hagrid, who had recently acquired a Norwegian Ridgeback egg from a hooded stranger, required Fire Seeds to increase the heat in his fireplace and hatch the egg properly. As he could not leave the fire unattended, he sent Harry Potter into the Fire Seed Caves to collect seeds for him. Harry successfully collected the required number of seeds and returned them to Hagrid.

: : : : Doe the phrase *Hammer something into someone* mean to force someone to to remember something by repeating it, and therefore equivalent of *cramming*?
: : : : thanks
: : : Yes and no. It does mean to repeat something forcefully and frequently. "Cramming" doesn't contain that element of repeating, repeating, repeating...
: : Isn't "hammering" something in akin to learning by rote?
: : Cramming is last-minute desperate learning as practiced by college students the night before a test.
: To hammer something into someone can mean to repeat the point forcefully with the goal of having the person take it seriously (e.g., obey a rule of behavior), not necessarily the goal of simply having the person remember it. Cramming is confined to learning facts, and students do it themselves. One doesn't cram somebody else.
it's a metaphor based on DIY/carpentry - if you 'hammer home' a nail, you knock it all the way in and if a lesson is 'hammered home' then that means that the importance has been strongly emphasised and the person learning has taken it in in the same way as a piece of wood takes a nail
- when a nail has been hammered home it cannot easily be removed. there is an implication of a lack of subtlety on the part of the teacher.


The origin of the word Blackmail as defined by webster 1913 is from the term mal. This is an Old English word borrowed from the Old Norwegian language. It was carried across to Britain by the Vikings and it originally meant'speech'. The vikings weren't well known for their speeches and since generally the only time they engaged in such activities was to demand something at axeblade the understanding became distorted to mean 'tax' or 'payment in tribute'. The Vikings split in two directions: one branch headed south to Italy and formed the Mafia and the other stopped in Scotland. Here they started their own protection racket on the Scottish border. By this time mal had become spelt'mail'. So if one cherished the value of one's crops, the life of your family or even your daughters virginity, then you paid mail to the neighbourhood chieftains; and the victims, in due course, came to call it black mail.
Blackmail, a certain rate of money, corn, cattle, or the like, anciently paid, in the N. of England and in Scotland, to certain men who were allied to robbers, to be protected by them from pillage. It was carried to such an extent as to become the subject of legislation. Blackmail was levied in the districts bordering the Highlands of Scotland until the middle of the 18th century. In the United States, the word is applied to money extorted from person under threat of exposure for an alleged offense; hush-money.
Entry from Everybody's Cyclopedia, 1912.
Black"mail' (?), n. [Black + mail a piece of money.]
Sir W. Scott.
3. Eng.Law
To levy blackmail, to extort money by threats, as of injury to one's reputation.

a five-point U-turn
Discussion in 'French-English Vocabulary / Vocabulaire Français-Anglais' started by elmingo, Sep 1, 2011.

 It's about someone doing a U-turn with his car. Does it mean it is like three-moves, drawing a five-point star from above? Or something else?
 Thanks for your help
 2. jann
 jann co-mod'
 English - USA
 This is a three-point turn, named for the three lines of motion involved (forward, reverse, forward).
 If space is very limited, or if the driver is incompetent, you can imagine that it might take a little extra maneuvering to turn around... forcing the driver to make "five point" turn instead (forward, reverse, forward, reverse, forward). Neither of these turns are technically "U-turns," but the point is that they all reverse the direction of travel by 180°.

Underwater Foundations for a Jack-up Bargeby Eldon L. Abbott, Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade &, Douglas Inc, United States,
Stephen J. George, Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade &, Douglas Inc, United States,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Foundation Engineering: Current Principles and Practices
Abstract: Innovative underwater foundations were developed to provide a solid base for the legs of a large jack-up barge needed by General Dynamics to transport heavy components from Quonset Point, Rhode Island, where they are fabricated, to Groton, Connecticut, where assembly is completed. A deep layer of soft soils at the Quonset Point shoreline required either the construction of expensive deep foundations for the barge or the use of unconventional reinforced earth technique to improve the soft soil layer and support the barge loads. General Dynamics elected to go with the innovative reinforced earth solution. This is one of the first underwater applications of the soil reinforcement technique patented by the Reinforced Earth Company.

Adaptive advantages of maternal care and matriphagy in a foliage spider,Chiracanthium japonicum (Araneae: Coubionidae)
- Cite this article as:
- Toyama, M. J Ethol (1999) 17: 33. doi:10.1007/BF02769295
I examined the function of maternal care in a foliage spider,Chiracanthium japonicum. Females of this species make breeding nests with rolled-up grass leaves and provide themselves to spiderlings as food at the end of maternal care. By removing mothers from their offspring at 2 different times, the effects of maternal care on egg and spiderling survival rates were estimated separately. Mother attendance greatly improved survival and development of eggs as well as spiderlings. Detailed observations on the fate of immatures in breeding nests with and without their mothers showed lower hatching and spiderling emergence rates when mothers were removed. Furthermore, spiderlings that fed on their mother's body showed accelerated growth and quickly molted into the 3rd instar with the delay of dispersal. This suggests that matriphagy, or eating the mother, enables spiderlings of this species to disperse at a later instar. Therefore, I conclude that the maternal care of this spider consists of guarding offspring, supporting offspring development and feeding spiderlings.


Understanding Weight Normalized Deep Neural Networks with Rectified Linear Units
Bibtex »Metadata »Paper »Reviews »Supplemental »
Yixi Xu, Xiao Wang
This paper presents a general framework for norm-based capacity control for $L_{p,q}$ weight normalized deep neural networks. We establish the upper bound on the Rademacher complexities of this family. With an $L_{p,q}$ normalization where $q\le p^*$ and $1/p+1/p^{*}=1$, we discuss properties of a width-independent capacity control, which only depends on the depth by a square root term. We further analyze the approximation properties of $L_{p,q}$ weight normalized deep neural networks. In particular, for an $L_{1,\infty}$ weight normalized network, the approximation error can be controlled by the $L_1$ norm of the output layer, and the corresponding generalization error only depends on the architecture by the square root of the depth.

[Hiraoka National Flag Sampe Book]
1938 (undated) 10.5 x 12.5 in (26.67 x 31.75 cm)
This is a rare Japanese Pre-World War II era sample flag book published between 1937 and 1940. The sample book containing 25 national flags including Japan, Nazi Germany, Manchukuo, the Provisional Government of the Republic of China, England, and the United States, among others. It was issued by the Hiraoka Flag Store (平岡国旗店) of Kyoto. The 25 flags contained in the book are actual cloth flags that have been mounted to cardboard and matted.
The book is undated, but due to the flags included, we can surmise the date based upon the flags as sometime between 1937 and 1940. The swastika flag of Nazi Germany (4) is included, so it must postdate January 30, 1931. The book also notably lacks the KMT Regime flag. Following the Second Sino Japanese War (1937 - 1940), the Japanese puppet regime in Nanjing, the Provisional Government of the Republic of China (中華民國臨時政府), instituted the 'Five Races Under One Union' flag, represented here as Flag 3, and did not recognize the KMT. Similarly, the book includes he Manchukuo Flag (2), a puppet regime established by the Japanese that was active from 1932 – 1945.
This book is rare and we are aware of no other examples.
Hiraoka Flag Store (平岡国旗店, 1887 – Present) is a Japanese flag manufacturing company founded in Kyoto in 1887 (Meiji 20). The firm was founded by Shinjiro Hiraoka (初代の平岡新次郎は) who at the time also ran a Kimono business. Recognizing a demand for flags during the Russo-Japanese War (1904 – 1905), Hiraoka focused his energies on the flag business. He remained in operation throughout the Pre-War and WWII eras and, as Kyoto was never bombed, remains in operation today as Hiraoka Flag Manufacturing Co., Ltd. The company remains in the Hiraoka family.
Very good. Minor soiling and edge wear.


Am I allowed to add multiple TXT records for a single domain?
I've been asked to add a load of MS= records to domains, but some of the domains already have a TXT record.
Can I just add a new TXT record with the value or should I append it to the existing data?
Multiple TXT DNS records are perfectly acceptable. In fact, I think one of my domains has about 6 of them. If you append it to the end of another TXT record, it is likely to stop that one performing it's correct function.
In Amazon's DNS tool, Route53, if you're trying to create multiple TXT values that share the same name, you should surround each value in quotes and separate by a carriage return.
From the Route53 docs:
A text record. Enter multiple values
 on separate lines. Enclose text in
 quotation marks.

Exploding Milk Bottles! When Ice and Dairy collide…
Sub-zero temperatures can be hazardous. If frostbite, hypothermia and road accidents weren't bad enough; now our milk bottles are exploding!
In a previous post, Ruth wanted to know the answer to her milk bottle saga:
Sweet-tasting cream erupting from a bottle of milk!
"My milk was frozen this morning so that the cream erupted out of the bottle in a column. I see why that happened but why did this bit of cream taste really sweet?"
After promising to investigate and learning about the science behind a simple bottle of milk, it seems Ruth has discovered an ingenious way to get naturally sweet cream…
What happens when you freeze milk?
Milk is mostly water, so when it turns into ice (at about -0.5 degrees C) it expands as it freezes. So if the bottle is pretty full then an eruption is likely…
Water expands by about 10% when it freezes, which is why frozen pipes tend to burst!
Milk isn't just water though; it contains fats, proteins and sugar (lactose). If you've ever made an olive oil salad dressing, then you will know that fats (oil) and water don't like to mix. It is the same with the milk fats: They help to give milk its nice white colour and they are dissolved, but only just. If you freeze milk slowly, then as the water turns to ice the fats 'condense' out and rise to the top as cream.
Fat is suspended in milk as microscopic globules. When milk freezes slowly, the globules come together as cream
So why did Ruth's cream taste so sweet?
Why does frozen cream taste sweet?
Ruth's main question had me stumped: milk contains sugar (called lactose) but why would the cream taste particularly sweet? Well, I eventually found the answer in a 1935 research paper where researchers in Washington, USA devoted months of research to what finding out all the different things that happen to milk when you freeze it!
Those of you who have sugar in your tea will testify: sugar mixes and dissolves well in water with a bit of a stir. The sugar in milk (lactose) is a bit different, and doesn't dissolve in water as well.
Lactose (milk sugar): Looks like normal sugar but doesn't dissolve well
So, in the same way cream separates from milk when freezing, so does the sugar. The researchers found that cream from frozen milk had sucked up lots of lactose from the milk and so tasted sweet!
Is it safe to freeze milk?
If you forego the risks associated with potentially exploding milk bottles, drinking milk that has been frozen is perfectly safe. If you fancy stock-piling a few bottles of milk for a rainy day, then freezing is good way of stopping it going off. If you freeze it quickly, it is less likely to separate. But when it is defrosted, a good shake will mix the cream and the liquid back together again, giving you the perfect accompaniment to your morning Cheerios!

 1. Thanks Dr Stu,
 I was thinking is this a way to make lactose free milk for people who are lactose intolerant? Happy Christmas. Ruthie
 Posted by Ruth Behan | December 23, 2010, 12:09 pm
 - It could be… but it probably wouldn't get rid of all the lactose. You can buy lactose-free dairy milk. They get rid of the lactose by adding an enzyme to break it down into simple sugar. The enzyme they add is the same one that is missing in people who are lactose intollerant (lactase) – so it should have exactly the same nutritional benefits as normal milk (Apparently, it makes the milk taste a bit sweeter).

 2. Dr Stu，
 Could you please tell me if these's any sucrose and fructose in milk？Thanks a lot
 Posted by NanZhang | October 31, 2012, 9:16 am
 - Hi there – thanks for the question.
 In a word, no.
 The main sugar in milk is lactose. There are minute traces of other sugars (e.g. glucose). Fructose comes from plants (fruits and vegetables). Sucrose is present in fruit and vegetables, but is principally isolated from sugar cane and sugar beets.
 Lactose is actually a disaccharide – meaning it is made of two, more basic, sugars. When digested, it is broken down into glucose and galactose.
 Hope that answers your question!

Cantheist icon and symbols
cantheism symbol logo glow relief
The graphic symbol for Cantheism / Cannatheism, seen on the left, is modeled after the ancient Egyptian hieroglyph for hemp rope and fiber skeins. Its shape was eventually transformed into the modern letter "h."
The emblem is designed to be discreet, simple and easily sketched by hand. The shape replicates that of a coiled skein of hemp fiber, seen on the right. It refers both to the ancient roots and the intertwined nature of human experience and the cannabis plant.
Symbolism and health safety
Egyptian hieroglyphic reference to cannabis hemp.
Illustration: Detail from an Egyptian stella (_PHONE_ BC), Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze (Italy) Room III, case 14, Item 7611
A small skein of
hemp fiber, the model
for this hieroglyph.
The hand symbol for Cantheism is right hand cupped around the left, with two fingers extended in the inner hand, symbolizing the male and the female plants. The overall hand gesture signifying the female calyx which holds the trichome glands.
The Cantheist personal greeting is to hole the left hand over the heart with fingers spread and a small nod or bow of acknowledgement. This gesture, also used in the Cannamaste Circle, has been a safe and respectful acknowledgement of the other person that can be made at a distance to prevent passing germs.
Likewise, the sacramental spliff is smoked through a chillum style, cupped hand and sometimes a hemp smoking cloth, to prevent passing germs mouth to mouth.
Astronomy: The three stars of Orion's belt represent the three aspects of cannabis: Commerce, medicine, and spirit. Sirius, the brightest star in the nearby constellation Canis Major (Big Dog), visible in the Northern sky during winter, is identified with cannabis.
Alchemistry: Cannabis pulp and fiber can be fabricated and transformed into almost anything, including every product made from fossil fuels, timber and cotton. The story of Rumplestiltskin relates to a person who could spin gold from straw. Likewise, great wealth can be derived from the cannabis plant but without magic, simply using the plant in commerce. Use of hemp instead of harmful petrochemical products is essential for the restoration of natural balance to the planet.
The active flowers and leaves can be converted into a wide assortment of inhalables and comestibles, ranging from flowers to hash resin to honey oil to water hash to kief to food items to beverages to tinctures to salves to liniments, etc., etc.
Sharing and passing the breath of life
ancient Egypt pharaoh Ptah dynasty
The immortal Ptah breathes power and strength into a 12th Dynasty pharaoh while standing beneath the Cantheist logo.
During ceremonial smoking circles, each person in the group must say Cannamaste to the people next to them, take and hold the burning spliff, inhale a deep breath and pass it on to continue the circle.
Given that some people prefer to ingest their sacrament as vaporized herb or oils, edibles or tinctures, inhaling the smoke is encouraged but not required. People in the circle should each receive the spliff with the Cannamaste salute, hold (possess) the spliff while inhaling and exhaling, then pass it along to the next congregant in the circle.
The Cantheist Symbol can be seen
in numerous real and imitation
heiroglyphics, like this image
from a Las Vegas casino.
During a Cantheist wedding, it is common for the couple to share the "breath of smoke" during the ceremony.
An ancient allusion to this practice is seen in the detail above, taken from a relief on the Pillar of Sesotris I, 12th Dynasty (c. 1971-28 BC).
The immortal Ptah breathes on the Egyptian pharaoh, investing him with renewed power and strength. Note the Cantheist icon situated above the Ankh in the upper left corner.
A modern depiction is seen in this decoration, left, from a relief in a Las Vegas casino.
Glyph transformed by language, cultures
Below is a representation showing how the Egyptian symbol for hemp became a more angular shape in the Semitic alphabet as a cipher for tent wall, or canvas. Meanwhile, the Semitic word for hemp, kaneh bosm, became the Greek word kannabis and was adapted into Latin as cannabis, from which derives the english word canvas.

Enhanced Observed Time Difference
A position-location method for GSM networks in which the phone measures the difference in the time of arrival signals from different towers. Essentially, the phone triangulates its position using signals from the towers, the reports the position back to the network.
E-OTD is one of several technologies that carriers can deploy to meet E-911 requirements.
Unlike competing U-TDOA technology, the phone actively participates in the location process. Therefore, E-OTD only works with phones that specifically include E-OTD technology.
Most major U.S. carriers that tested E-OTD for E-911 compliance decided against it and opted for U-TDOA technology instead.
The main proponent and provider of E-OTD technology is a company called Cambridge Positioning Systems (CPS).

HTML search and replace in Clojure
In Clojure, data structures are mostly built from a handful of core data structures such as lists, vectors, maps, and sets.
This means that most data structures can leverage all of the generic data transformation and querying functions built for the core data structures instead of having to rebuild the same functionality for each data structure.
This feature in combination with Clojure's rich standard library makes Clojure very attractive for solving data munching problems from other domains.
In this article, I'm going to demonstrate these capabilities for solving HTML transformations using Clojure.
First, I'm going to describe how HTML can be represented in Clojure.
With this representation in mind, I'll demonstrate how we can transform HTML documents in Clojure.
Finally, I'll tie the transformations together with the HTML parsing and formatting to produce a complete solution.


We raised some issues with the SAP migration tools during a replatforming project including Unicode conversion from SUN/Oracle to Windows SQL Server.
Our migration went well and all the log files from the technical migration reported no error, but during the application testing the customer claimed some missing data in a couple of tables.
What happened:
These tables were splitted in at least four parts from the R3TA tool and exported and imported without any errors. After a detailed investigation, we found that some of the packages a empty:
0 rows exported and 0 rows imported.
A cross check inside the source SAP system with the select patterns out of the WHR files showed the missing entries. The select statement with the select criteria out of the HWR files executed directly on Oracle using sqlplus resulted with 0 rows again.
After tracing the selection of SE16 with ST05, we found the issue:
The WHERE condition inside SE16 was like
 - SELECT COUNT(*) from "/BIC/ADC_CNT200" WHERE "CRM_OHGUID" <= '4909283A9B121CF6E10000000A31EA29' AND "CRM_ITMGUI" ='';
 Result: 238656 rows
The WHERE clause with the conditions of the WHR files was:
 Result: 0 rows
The difference is the blank in the second condition! So the error is caused by the '' in the where condition created by the R3TA tool.
After changing the WHR file and re-export/re-import the table, we got the same row count on both sides.
Now the customer raised the concern about the consistency of the migrated data. Therefore we checked the row count for all tables on the source and the target system and compared these values with the information recorded in the *.toc (export) and *.log files (import) to be sure we didn't lost any data on the way from Oracle to SQL.
Thereby we found two additional strange phenomena:
 1. The cluster table REGUC had app. 18.000 additional rows on the target side, but from the application point of view it was consistent.
 1. The row count information from the *.toc and *.log files was not consistent with the row count in the source and target DB
To 1.: The phenomena with REGUC was raised by the data-growth during the UNICODE conversion. The table is a table cluster resp. A physical cluster table with a VARDATA field containing compressed raw data. The content of the VARDATA field is extracted and converted during the migration/Unicode conversion. The length of the field (3.800 bytes) doesn't change - however after the Unicode conversion some data doesn't fit in one record only so you have more records on the target. So a continuation record is created and the table has more records after the migration. This could be verified with the following select statement, which needs to show the same values on the source and target:
 - Select count(*) from REGUC where PAGENO=0;
 (table records without continuation records)
To 2.: For some transparent tables (e.g. PA0000 in the HCM system) we had the same row count information in the *.toc (export) and *.log (import) files. Both files showed 145.189 rows, but a select count(*) on the source and target DB showed 142.615.
We reported all the issues to SAP. The issue with the R3TA is already corrected in version 7.20 and higher and will be back-ported to earlier versions (7.0x and 7.1x), too. The issue with the inconsistent row count is still under investigation from SAP. I will update the blog, if we get an response from SAP
Lessons learned:
Don't trust the log files of the SAP migration tools, you have to verify the consistency of the databases by additional checks.

The book presents actual clinical cases, accompanied by academic commentary, that question and educate the reader about essential topics in restorative and reconstructive dentistry. The book begins by laying the groundwork of the fundamental principles that apply to all cases and outlining the ten decisions to be made with all cases. The main sections of the book cover the cases themselves, examining them both by type of restoration / solution, and by type of problem. This unique approach enables the reader to build their skills, aiding the ability to think critically and independently.
Clinical Cases in Restorative and Reconstructive Dentistry's case-based format is particularly useful for pre-doctoral dental students, post-graduate residents and practitioners, both as a textbook from which to learn about the challenging and absorbing nature of restorative and reconstructive dentistry, and also as a reference tool to help with treatment planning when perplexing cases arise in the dental office.

If the diagonals are not equal, then either of two things is wonky.
1. The side walls are not plumb presently, and when you pull the top plate inwards they will either be more out of plumb or more in.
2. The ends of the front, unsheathed wall are not of equal height. If they were built on the floor with equal length studs, that's not likely. If the studs were nailed in place then more likely....?
Check both side walls right at the front corner for plumb and see what they read. This ain't rocket surgery, so you can make it better without too much trouble. :smile3:
If you don't have a come along, drive a substantial stake into the ground about 8 ft away and brace a 2 x 4 against the wall at the top to push it plumb. Once it's good, toe nail it in place until you can properly brace it. Proper diagonal bracing is "let in" to each stud as it passes over them making the brace flush for the sheathing.
Sheathing alone will brace it, but it aughta be plumb first, then nailed. The 4 X 8 sheathing can be used as large square, better than a 24" framing square in the corners.

Know the Law: Three Parents Cannot Have Custody/Visitation Rights in Mississippi
In a minority of U.S. states, step-parent may be eligible to acquire court-protected child visitation rights even if a child's two biological parents both still have their legal rights. For example, in Louisiana, step-parent may be able to access visitation rights even as a "third" parent. However, this is not true in Mississippi. Under Mississippi state laws, no more than two individuals can have parental rights/parental responsibilities for a child. In effect, this means that a step-parent cannot get access to parental rights unless:
- The child's other parent is deceased;
- The child's other parent had their rights terminated; or
- The child's other parent is willing to relinquish their rights.
An Overview of Step-Parent Adoptions in Mississippi
Adoption is the legal process through which a person assumes parental rights/parental responsibility for a child. A significant share of adoptions in Mississippi are step-parent adoptions. Most often, this occurs when a step-parent is married to or in a domestic relationship with one of the child's legal parents. There are two broad categories of step-parent adoptions in Mississippi:
- Uncontested Step-Parent Adoption: An uncontested step-parent adoption is one in which there is no active dispute from the child's other parent. An uncontested adoption can occur in a few different scenarios. Your spouse's former partner may be deceased. Alternatively, they may have already lost their parental rights—meaning they have no authority to dispute the adoption. Finally, the other parent may also be willing to give their consent to the adoption. If they do so, it will make the process significantly easier. That being said, they will lose their parental rights if they consent to step-parent adoption. Essentially, they have to voluntarily relinquish their parental rights in order to consent to step-parent adoption.
- Contested Step-Parent Adoption: A contested step-parent is one in which the child's other parent (your spouse's former partner) still has parental rights and refuses to give their consent for the adoption to move forward. Typically, this occurs in two different scenarios. In the first, the other actively and aggressively tries to thwart the adoption process—potentially even filing motions in court. In the second scenario, the other parent simply refuses to cooperate at all. They may be difficult to locate or unwilling to engage.
As you probably already recognize, contested step-parent adoptions are more challenging. Under Mississippi law, you have to make a good faith effort to engage the other parent in the step-parent adoption process, including making a proactive attempt to provide them with official legal notice of any proceedings. A court can still approve a step-parent adoption over the objections of one of the child's legal parents—but typically this requires demonstrating that the parent in question is unfit and should lose their rights.

Make up stories, pretend to drive an auto or play a tabla, dance like the buffalo or have a conversation about all the places mentioned in the book!
Every time your little ones read the book with you and play with the flashcards by themselves, they will dive a little deeper into their own imaginative, magical, mystical world and if you're lucky, they might just invite you to join them!

On Wet Plate Workshops

Photo: John Brewer
We've seen a small explosion in interest in wet plate recently and more course providers are starting to offer wet plate courses.
Here's a little check list if you're wondering how best to choose your wet plate course or if you even need one.
1. Do I need to attend a workshop?
While wet plate isn't inherently difficult troubleshooting can be difficult. We would recommend going to a workshop if you can.
Before attending a workshop we would recommend you ask and check with the tutor what will be covered.
2. How many people will attend a workshop?
We teach a maximum of four on my own or six if we are assisted.
3. Will chemistry be covered explaining what each individual component does?
4. Is the workshop two days or longer?
For example, in our opinion wet plate cannot be learnt in one day.
Here are more factors to consider;
5. Will you get a comprehensive manual so that you can continue on your own?
6. Does the tutor have experience in teaching?
7. Will you get to make images of different sizes?
8. Will the tutor explain the different types of cameras and lenses suitable for wet plate and will you get to try them?
10. Is the tutor a practising wet plate artist?
11. Can the tutor show you his or her work first hand or on a website?
If the answer to any of these is no we would recommend choosing a different workshop… and it just so happens that the highly experienced wet plate artist John Brewer offers workshops at Double Negative!

Wheat grass are not the type of plants that are attractive to kids. They might even hate it if you force kids to drink fresh wheat grass juice in the morning. If you want kids to have fun with wheat grass, why don't you try some fun crafts for kids with wheat grass?
These wheat grass head men are just an example. Kids will love to have these cute figures on their study table or on the windowsill in their room. Thanks Delia for this nice idea and tutorial.


How to Transfer Apps to New Android from old Android Device
In this article we will learn how to transfer the apps to a new android device from an old android device. The methods will tell how to transfer apps from android in built feature and restore feature. Or maybe using the Samsung smart switch mobile app if you already have it on your device. Therefore, in the instructions we cover the Android pie 9.0, Oreo 8.0, Nougat 7.0 and android devices from all the manufacturers.
Transfer apps to a new android phone using the Android backup and restoring feature
The simplest method to transfer your apps from android to android. It is by backing up your old device, and restoring the function on the new phone. Firstly, you need see if your new device is backing up your data or not, to do so you have to:
 1. Go on to the Settings.

 3. Select the Backup option (You might have to expand the Advanced section before that).
 4. Check and see if the toggle of the Back up to Google Drive is on, if you see it is on then you are ready!
 5. If the toggle is off then slide it to make it on and Back up now.
 6. Hence, you are all set after the backup is complete.
Restoring your data to the new phone
Now you are all set to restore the data to your new android phone from the old one through this method. However, if you have not yet restored your data you can now restore it including all the apps during this process.
 1. Make sure to charge your new android device and power it up. Follow the instructions from the screen till it asks you to restore the data from another device. However, you can always opt to start it as a brand-new clean slate, but restoring some data will be helpful for you in the future.
 2. Tap on the Copy Your Data and select the device from which you have to restore the data.
 3. Then your android device will ask you to connect to a Wi-Fi network. Be sure that you connected to the same network as your old device is.
 4. Now you will be seeing the restore option on the screen of your phone. Select either A Back up from an android phone or A Back up from the cloud or drive.
 5. Use your old phone only and sign into your google account.
 6. Here you will see the list of the options to back up including your old device.
 7. Now choose the right one or correct one and tap Restore. So that you can transfer all the data and setting from your old device. Tap on the Apps you wish to transfer from your old device to your new device.
 8. Hence, now you can continue with your setting up process, while your data is restoring in the background.

And then follow the instructions from the screen and download it. You can select this app to transfer your data from any android phone which has android marshmallow 6.0 to a Samsung phone.
Therefore, to get into the app on S7 or later version, tap on Settings > Accounts > Smart switch, for any different phone look in the app drawer for the app.
There are three ways which you can use with Smart Switch: USB cable, Wirelessly, or external storage. The most straightforward method is transferring the apps wirelessly.

Samsung also provides the Smart Switch app for Mac. and Windows, installs and opens the desktop app and then connects the phone to the computer. Therefore, now follow the screen instructions to transfer the apps and the data right from the device you want it to.
Some considerations:
For the other apps that are not from Google, you will have to recheck if they are backing up the Google drive. However, it can be helpful especially if you want to save the chat history, usually, the popular apps have this. Your data will only sync properly if you sign in to all your Google devices. If you wish to save the bookmarks and the password then you have to be signed in to all the Google devices. Go on to the browser setting in sign-in from there if you have not signed in already.

Mental health facilities play a crucial role in helping individuals with mental illnesses. However, there are often barriers that prevent patients from receiving the best possible care, including access to medications. To address this issue, mental health facilities can consider opening their own pharmacies, providing numerous benefits to patients and staff alike.
One of the most significant advantages of opening a pharmacy in a mental health facility is improved access to medication. Patients with mental illnesses often require multiple medications to manage their symptoms, and having a pharmacy on site ensures that these medications are readily available. This can also reduce the risk of medication errors or missed doses, which can have serious consequences for patients' mental health.
Additionally, having a pharmacy on site can improve communication and collaboration between doctors and pharmacists. Mental health facilities that open their own pharmacies can ensure that doctors and pharmacists work together to provide optimal care for patients. This can lead to more accurate medication management, better monitoring of side effects, and more effective treatment plans.
Opening a pharmacy in a mental health facility can also lead to cost savings. Patients who obtain their medications from the facility's pharmacy may be eligible for reduced co-pays or other financial assistance. This can help patients who are struggling financially to afford their medications, leading to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
Finally, having a pharmacy on site can help mental health facilities better manage their inventory of medications. By keeping a record of medication usage and demand, the pharmacy can ensure that there are always adequate supplies of medications on hand. This can prevent stockouts, reduce waste, and ultimately save money.
In conclusion, opening a pharmacy in a mental health facility can provide numerous benefits to patients, doctors, and staff. By improving access to medication, enhancing collaboration between doctors and pharmacists, reducing costs, and managing medication inventory more effectively, mental health facilities can better serve their patients and improve the overall quality of care.

Even though the
MyISAM table format is very
reliable (all changes to a table made by an SQL statement are
written before the statement returns), you can still get
corrupted tables if any of the following events occur:
The mysqld process is killed in the middle of a write.
An unexpected computer shutdown occurs (for example, the computer is turned off).
You are using an external program (such as myisamchk) to modify a table that is being modified by the server at the same time.
A software bug in the MySQL or
Typical symptoms of a corrupt table are:
You get the following error while selecting data from the table:
Incorrect key file for table: '...'. Try to repair it
Queries don't find rows in the table or return incomplete results.
You can check the health of a
CHECK TABLE statement,
and repair a corrupted
MyISAM table with
REPAIR TABLE. When
mysqld is not running, you can also check or
repair a table with the myisamchk command.
See Section 22.214.171.124, "
CHECK TABLE Syntax",
Section 126.96.36.199, "
REPAIR TABLE Syntax", and Section 4.6.3, "myisamchk — MyISAM Table-Maintenance Utility".
If your tables become corrupted frequently, you should try to
determine why this is happening. The most important thing to
know is whether the table became corrupted as a result of a
server crash. You can verify this easily by looking for a recent
restarted mysqld message in the error log. If
there is such a message, it is likely that table corruption is a
result of the server dying. Otherwise, corruption may have
occurred during normal operation. This is a bug. You should try
to create a reproducible test case that demonstrates the
problem. See Section C.5.4.2, "What to Do If MySQL Keeps Crashing", and
Porting to Other Systems.

Alexa.Gadget.SpeechData Interface
This interface sends your gadget speechmark data. Speechmarks are metadata that enable your gadget to synchronize speech with visual experiences. One example of an action that your gadget can take based on this data is to lip sync to Alexa's text-to-speech (TTS).
Supporting this interface
To support this interface, the gadget must respond to the Echo device's Discover directive with a Discover.Response event that includes the following entry in its array of Capabilities:
 "type": "AlexaInterface",
 "interface": "Alexa.Gadget.SpeechData",
 "version": "1.0",
 "configurations": {
 "supportedTypes": [
This interface includes one directive: Speechmarks, as described next.
Speechmarks directive
This directive provides speechmark data to your gadget. The.proto file contents are as follows:
message SpeechmarksDirectiveProto {
 Directive directive = 1;
 message Directive {
 alexaGadgetSpeechData.SpeechmarksDirectivePayloadProto payload = 2;
 header.DirectiveHeaderProto header = 1;
message DirectiveHeaderProto {
 string namespace = 1;
 string name = 2;
 string messageId = 3;
 string dialogRequestId = 4;
message SpeechmarksDirectivePayloadProto {
 repeated SpeechmarksData speechmarksData = 2;
 message SpeechmarksData {
 int32 startOffsetInMilliSeconds = 3;
 string type = 2;
 string value = 1;
 int32 playerOffsetInMilliseconds = 1;
The fields in this message are as follows:
Field Description Type
directive Contains a complete Speechmarks directive. Directive
The fields of the message are as follows:
Field Description Type
header Contains the header for this directive. DirectiveHeaderProto
payload Contains the payload for this directive. SpeechmarksDirectivePayloadProto
The fields of the message are as follows:
Field Description Type
namespace The namespace of this directive, which is Alexa.Gadget.SpeechData. string
name The name of this directive, which is Speechmarks. string
messageId An ID that uniquely defines an instance of this directive. This string can be empty. string
dialogRequestId A unique ID that correlates this directive with a specific voice interaction from a user. You can ignore this field. string
The fields of the message are as follows:
Field Description Type
speechmarksData An object that represents speechmark data. It specifies the type of data, values, and offset. SpeechmarksData
playerOffsetInMilliseconds Where the speech currently is in its stream, in milliseconds. int32
The fields of the message are as follows:
Field Description Type
type The type of speechmark data that this directive contains. Currently, the only possible value is "VISEME". Viseme is a mouth position that corresponds to a spoken sound. string
value The value of the speechmark. string
startOffsetInMilliSeconds The start offset of the value, in milliseconds.
To determine how to sync speechmark data to Alexa's speech, use startOffsetInMilliSeconds minus playerOffsetInMilliseconds.
For example, say your gadget receives the following viseme speechmark data at playerOffsetInMilliseconds = 7000:
value: "t", startOffsetInMilliSeconds: 3000
value: "a", startOffsetInMilliSeconds: 5000
value: "p", startOffsetInMilliSeconds: 9000
value: "e", startOffsetInMilliSeconds: 11000
Because playerOffsetInMilliseconds is 7000, your gadget should start considering the values at "p", and ignore the earlier values.
If playerOffsetInMilliseconds and startOffsetInMilliSeconds are both zero, the gadget should process the data immediately.
