Many people are confused about the pros and cons of daggerboards versus keels. As with everything, there are advantages and disadvantages. Here are my thoughts on the pros and cons of dagger-boards:
 - A daggerboarded cat will sail consistently higher into the wind than a cat with keels. Typically between 5 to 7 degrees higher. This added speed and pointing ability represents a significant safety feature when cruising because it enables you to claw off a lee shore or to arrive at an upwind destination with far greater alacrity. Sometimes you cannot "run for cover" – you must "beat for cover."
 - A daggerboarded cat, all things being equal, will sail at least 2 knots faster, on average, than a catamaran with keels simply because it isn't carrying the enormous fixed hydrodynamic drag (i.e. wetted surface) of two long and deep fixed keels. This added speed is a significant safety feature for long-range cruising. Not only are long passages cut shorter, reducing exposure to adverse weather, but should one encounter adverse weather it is much easier to either run from it or avoid it entirely with proper weather routing. A faster boat always increases one's options, and therefore increases safety, when cruising.
 - A daggerboarded cat typically draws 2 to 2.5 feet less water than a cat with keels. As such, the sailing grounds and potential anchorages available to a cat with daggerboards are considerably larger than those available to a keel cat.
 - In extremely severe seas daggerboards enable the skipper to adjust the balance of his catamaran by raising and lowering the boards. When sailing in large cross-seas you typically raise the leeward daggerboard entirely and lower the windward board half-way to prevent being tripped over by a breaking wave. A keel cat is stuck with the keels down, all the time – as such, there is no way to prevent the boat from "tripping over herself" in storm-force conditions.
 - Daggerboards are very costly to construct. A builder must create dual dagger-boards as well as dual dagger-board trunks, along with the winches and pulleys to raise and lower them. Dual daggerboards add about $30,000 to the construction cost of a 45 foot catamaran.
 - Dagger-boarded cats are not a good idea for bare-boat chartering because bare-boat sailors run aground a lot. Even if they are told to raise the dagger-boards when they are not beating, they forget which results in broken daggerboards. Charter sailors do not care about performance, so there is no sense offering them a costly option they will likely break.
 - Daggerboards that are not carefully installed by a professional shipyard can rattle in their trunks. This is annoying. A well built cat will not have this problem.
 - If you are not a careful navigator and operate near shallow waters with your daggerboard(s) in the down position and plow into a hard reef at high speed, you will do serious damage to the bottom of your boat. While most daggerboarded cats have mini-skegs to protect the rudders and saildrives from a grounding, a high speed collision with a reef could do major damage to the bottom of your catamaran.
 - Daggerboard trunks take away a modest amount of interior room from the inside of each hull.
 - Daggerboards are for racers only. Not so. I am convinced this myth is propagated by builders who do not offer dagger-boards due to their cost.
 - Daggerboards are complex to operate. Not so. Unless you are sailing upwind they are always in the raised position. When you sail upwind you simply uncleat the boards and let them drop. To raise them you simply pull a few turns on a winch. It is easy to operate daggerboards.
 - You cannot beach a daggerboarded cat. No so. A properly built daggerboarded cat is easily beached and indeed can beach much closer to shore. The entire bottom of a well built daggerboarded cat is solid fiberglass.
 - Since high volume production catamaran builders must sell nearly 50% of their yachts into bareboat charter, it is not surprising that none of their models have daggerboards. At the present time there are just four production builders of daggerboarded cats: Catana, Outremer, Sud Composites, and Dolphin. There are of course a wide range of custom and semi-custom dagger-boarded cats on the market, particularly in New Zealand and Australia.
 - For the most part, daggerboards are preferred by serious offshore voyagers who insist that their catamarans sail upwind swiftly and as high as a monohull. They also want a catamaran that is considerably faster than a monohull on all points of sail, not only because they enjoy sailing fast, but because it is safer.
 - We sell a lot of used catamarans at The Multihull Company. Most of them have keels. As for me, if given a choice, a dagger-boarded cat is my preference. But I am a true enthusiast!

Social security system in Slovakia
In Slovakia, the social security coverage is based on the occupational activity, not on the residence. The system falls under the competence of the Ministry of Employment, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic. The Social Insurance Agency and Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic are the executive bodies.
The social security system in Slovakia is made of three main components:
- Social insurance - its basic role is the protection of the economically active population in different situations. Employees and self‑employed persons meeting the conditions regarding the amount of income are mandatorily insured. Social insurance is financed by contributions and administered by the Social Insurance Agency (SIA).
- Social assistance - allows people in situations of material deprivation to receive substitute resources from the state in the form of services and benefits.
- State social support - which is devised to address particular life situations, including the birth of a child, child care, death of a family member and others. The allowances provided within this system are financed directly from the state budget. The entitlement to the social support is usually based on the permanent or temporary residence in Slovakia and does not depend on the income of the family or the economic activity of a person and his/her family members. Specific conditions must be fulfilled for obtaining a particular allowance.

I would like to know if there are any good practices for modeling Roles in ontologies. I am particularly interested by modeling roles that changes over time (CEO Role during a period of time). Also it is very common to model roles as properties and roles as classes. What are the best practices to pick one or the other approach? How can we relate both?
Thanks in advance

The pattern Time indexed person role from the Ontology Design Patterns might help you. Similar pattern is used in the Organization Ontology to express changes of roles through time, see this example.

I made some research on this topic the last couple of days and I realized that my question was a pretty tough one to answer. I wanted to share with you my findings, in the hope that the readers will produce better ontologies in the future.
The best papers I have found on the subject of properly modeling roles in ontologies are:
OntoClean is a methodology for validating the ontological adequacy of taxonomic relationships. It is based on highly general ontological notions drawn from philosophy, like essence, identity, and unity, which are used to characterize relevant aspects of the intended meaning of the properties, classes, and relations that make up an ontology. These aspects are represented by formal metaproperties, which impose several constraints on the taxonomic structure of an ontology. The analysis of these constraints helps in evaluating and validating the choices made.
These last two papers were the best I could find on this topic and the model presented seems to be very solid and has been used for building the ontology editor Hozo.
Existing ontology tools such as Topbraid, Protege do not have any formal model built-in to properly model roles in ontologies and techniques like Ontoclean to validate the quality of the ontologies. Addition of such techniques would be a great improvement, that would lead to the production of better and more reusable ontologies. Too many ontologies produced today are poor qualities because the tools do not implement best practices in ontology modeling.

Good pointers (esp OntoClean which presents a useful set of guidelines), though I somewhat disagree with your last paragraph. While additional tool support is of course always useful and can make things easier, ultimately, proper modeling of an ontology is the ontology egineer's job, and conversely, if it's not done right, the engineer's fault, not the tool's.

The question of whether to model some characteristic as a class or a property is a very common one. It does not only apply to roles, but to any sort of characteristic of an individual you can think of. In general, I'd say that a good rule of thumb is to think about whether the characteristic you're modeling is intrinsic to the individual: if the characteristic were to change, would we still consider the individual the same individual? If the answer to that question is yes, it is not intrinsic, and this makes it a good candidate for modeling it as a property. If the answer is no, it makes it a good candidate for modeling as a class.
This may sound straightforward but it often is not clear cut. Example: in a domain about cars, we may want to say things about red cars and blue cars. Should the color be a (sub)class (:RedCar and :BlueCar), or a property (:Car :hasColor :Color)? The answer IMO depends on whether you consider colors intrinsic to the item being modeled. If, in your domain, you wanted to cater for the fact that cars can be spray-painted a different color, then modeling as a property makes more sense. If, however, in your domain you consider the color a uniquely defining characteristic, then modeling as a class may make more sense (as an aside, another reason to choose properties over classes is that you may not always know the color of each individual, and dealing with that kind of missing information is often easier when it's expressed as a property).
In the case of roles, I'd say that modeling as a property generally makes more sense, especially if, as in your case, you anticipate them changing over time.

Hopefully this is simple - I DataBind a bunch of labels and text controls in a Silverlight application (to DependencyProperties that I create in my class), but of course the text is empty at design time.
I'd still like to have an idea of how this will be laid out; is there a way to specify a design-time value, even though it's databound?

The feature you're looking for is Expression Blend Sample Data. Sample Data allows you to specify a Design Time data source that has some sample fields in it (names, addresses, numbers, images, hierarchies, etc).
Here's a good introduction article: _URL_
And here's a collection of links on Sample data: _URL_
The core of Sample Data is you use build a mock design time datasource in blend (shaped like your data types), define the type of sample data and the bindings get evaluated to give you a meaningful design time experience.

Wayan Swantika of the local archaeology agency says workers digging a drainage basin last week in eastern Denpasar, Bali's capital, at first discovered a large stone about 1 meter (3 feet) underground.
Excavation teams have since uncovered a 57-meter (62-yard) structure that is believed to be the temple's foundation.
The find is still being analyzed, but given the shape and characteristics of the materials used, Swantika says he believes it was built sometime between the 13th and 15th centuries. He added that it is also thought to be the largest ancient temple ever discovered in Bali.

"The buffer pool is too full to bring in another page" in IBM Notes client
Technote (troubleshooting)
When saving documents or opening views in the Notes client, the client display the error message "The buffer pool is too full to bring in another page" and the operation might also fail.
This is a memory error, and can occur if the client is using too much memory, e.g. running background agents that require lots of document data in memory simultaneously. However, this has been observed in cases where there wasn't an especially large amount of memory in use, or where nothing has apparently changed from before.
If this is not a case of actually using huge amounts of memory, there are two likely causes:
 - The notes.ini parameter NSF_Buffer_Pool_size_MB has been set to a value that's too low. This is unlikely, because generally this variable isn't set at all, and its default value (which is calculated based on a percentage of available memory) is usually ample for normal use.
 - The system is low on available disk space for swap files. This is the likeliest explanation, especially in cases where the error suddenly started occurring and nothing about the client had changed.
Resolving the problem
Check the notes.ini file for the NSF_Buffer_Pool_size_MB parameter; if it is present, delete it (or comment it out), and restart Notes.
If your OS has a tool for freeing up disk space (e.g. by deleting temporary files), use it.
If freeing disk space doesn't improve matters, it's possible that your Notes client is running some new agent or subprocess that uses a lot of memory. Experiment with the setting NSF_Buffer_Pool_size_MB to different values. However, setting this parameter larger may have adverse effects on other programs.
You might also check whether there are other processes running on your computer that are using particularly large amounts of memory (use Task Manager in Windows, or similar program in other operating systems). See whether shutting down those processes gets rid of this error message.
If Notes itself is using memory in excess of 200MB, disable the ability to run background agents, and see whether that makes a difference. This is menu File / Preferences, Basic Notes Client Configuration, checkbox "Enable scheduled local agents," in the "Startup and shut down" group at the top of that window. Otherwise, consult your local Notes system administrator to determine whether there are additional libraries loading with your Notes client that may be using extra memory, and whether any of them can be disabled.

text: Property market dynamics depend on changes in long run equilibrium and on impediments to adjustment towards equilibrium. One of the most important aspects of property market dynamics is often attributed to the activities in the mortgage market. However, many impediment factors, such as changes in family status, education, neighborhood effects and job relocation, are often unobservable from micro household-level data. Since these omitted variables contribute to moving decisions and therefore to sale and default decisions, utility functions for sale and default are correlated through these unobservable variables; thus, the IIA assumption of the widely used Multinomial Logit Model (MNL) is violated. Under such circumstances, econometric theory suggests that the Nested Logit Model (NMNL) is a better choice, which obviates the limitation of MNL by allowing correlation in unobserved factors across alternatives. This paper empirically investigates the omitted household mobility characteristics problem in mortgage termination, and tests NMNL against MNL. Using loan level micro data, we find significant correlation between sale and default due to omitted borrower mobility characteristics. Our simulations find that NMNL out performs MNL in out-of-sample prediction.

Use Functor for Callbacks in C++
Using the callback function in C is pretty straightforward, but in C++ it becomes little tricky.
If you want to use a member function as a callback function, then the member function needs to be associated with an object of the class before it can be called. In this case, you can use functor.
Suppose you need to use the member function get() of the class base as a callback function
class base
 int get ()
 { return 7;}
Then, you need to define a functor:
class CallbackFunctor
 functor(const base& b):m_base(b)
 int operator() ()
 return m_base.get();
Now you can use an object of CallbackFunctor as a callback function as follows.
Define the function that needs a callback to take an argument of type CallbackFunctor:
void call (CallbackFunctor& f)
 cout << f() << endl;
int main ()
 base b;
 functor f(b);

Industry-exclusive Articulated Truck Steering
Fast, accurate cornering decreases cycle times by five percent, increasing productivity while ensuring maximum safety and unsurpassed traction for high speed hauling. Volvo's industry-exclusive steering system allows the body to always monitor the tractor unit so the operator doesn't have to correct for steering adjustments typically found in traditional articulated truck steering system.
Advantages of Volvo Steering
Volvo articulated trucks function with precision throughout the life of the articulated hauler, maximizing production and safe high speed operations. The centering steering value ensures a smooth, steady automotive "feel" to the system. Ultimately, the hydromechanics are easy to steer, even at low engine speeds and in tough off-road conditions.
 - Self-compensating, precision steering
 - Maximizes productivity
 - Outstanding operator control
 - Increased safety at high speeds
Components of Steering
A mechanical feedback rod connects to the hitch at one end, and the steering valve at the other. This centers the steering valve after any steering movement. The steering linkage joins the rack and pinion to ensure the steering angle is proportional to the number of turns of the steering wheel.

When I do the following.. anything done to Person b modifies Person a (I thought doing this would clone Person b from Person a). I also have NO idea if changing Person a will change Person b after the linking. Due to my code right now, I can only see this in 1 direction.
Person a = new Person() { head = "big", feet = "small" };
Person b = a;
b.head = "small"; //now a.head = "small" too
Now if I do this instead.. Person a becomes completely separate.
Person b = new Person() { head = a.head, feet = a.feet };
Now this fine and kinda makes sense when comparing this behaviour to other things in C#. BUT, this could get very annoying with large objects.
Is there a way to shortcut this at all?
Such as:
Person b = a.Values;

It is called "deep copy", search for this. Your example is a very good one for why you rarely actually do this. The odds that one person would have the exact same traits as another one are quite rare. – Hans Passant Mar 19 '11 at 1:18

Sorry about the terminology, I don't know how to properly define everything yet. I'm basically storing a bunch of settings in a object. Then another object takes those settings and builds itself from them. Unfortunately (for me right now), building the second object changes the first object because of this behavior. Maybe I shouldn't be storing my settings in an object, but I don't know how else to do it because of how complex it is. – PiZzL3 Mar 19 '11 at 1:30

Is there a way to shortcut this at all?
No, not really. You'll need to make a new instance in order to avoid the original from affecting the "copy". There are a couple of options for this:
 1. If your type is a struct, not a class, it will be copied by value (instead of just copying the reference to the instance). This will give it the semantics you're describing, but has many other side effects that tend to be less than desirable, and is not recommended for any mutable type (which this obviously is, or this wouldn't be an issue!)
 2. Implement a "cloning" mechanism on your types. This can be ICloneable or even just a constructor that takes an instance and copies values from it.
 3. Use reflection, MemberwiseClone, or similar to copy all values across, so you don't have to write the code to do this. This has potential problems, especially if you have fields containing non-simple types.

Thanks, that sums it up nicely. I think I'll have to figure out a different way to store my data or make a special constructor. – PiZzL3 Mar 19 '11 at 2:11

What you are looking is for a Cloning. You will need to Implement IClonable and then do the Cloning.
class Person() : ICloneable
 public string head;
 public string feet;
 _TAG_ ICloneable Members
 public object Clone()
 return this.MemberwiseClone();
Then You can simply call the Clone method to do a ShallowCopy (In this particular Case also a DeepCopy)
Person b = (Person) a.Clone();
You can use the MemberwiseClone method of the Object class to do the cloning.

_USER_ Levy: I know the difference arise between Shallow Copy and Deep Copy, when you have Reference type of members in the class. – Shekhar_Pro Mar 19 '11 at 1:32
add comment
a and b are just two references to the same Person object. They both essentially hold the address of the Person.
There is a ICloneable interface, though relatively few classes support it. With this, you would write:
Person b = a.Clone();
Then, b would be an entirely separate Person.
You could also implement a copy constructor:
public Person(Person src)
 //...
There is no built-in way to copy all the fields. You can do it through reflection, but there would be a performance penalty.

_USER_, 1. The difference between deep copy and shallow copy is irrelevant here, because the class only has two fields, both with immutable types. 2. I didn't recommend ICloneable. I listed it as an option. 3. That is not an official guideline, just a discussion of a plan to add it to the official guidelines (I don't know if it made it). – Matthew Flaschen Mar 19 '11 at 1:37

You could do it like this:
var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var b = jss.Deserialize(jss.Serialize(a));

This happens because "Person" is a class, so it is passed by reference. In the statement "b = a" you are just copying a reference to the one and only "Person" instance that you created with the keyword new.
The easiest way to have the behavior that you are looking for is to use a "value type".
Just change the Person declaration from
class Person
struct Person

Fake 3D with Shape Layers in Ae
Move Shapes shows how to create a fake 3D effect using shape layers in After Effects.
You don't need 3D to create 3D. Since the invention of perspective people have drawn in 3D on a 2D plane, essentially creating "fake 3D". In After Effects, animating a fake 3D effect is pretty straightforward. As long as you can animate the points of a vector shape, you can trick the eye into thinking an element is 3D. Some things will be harder than others with this technique, but for something like a spinning box or a moving car, it's perfect.
Check out this tutorial from Peter Arumugam, also known as Move Shapes who shows how easy it is to create a fake 3D car turn using shape layers in After Effects. The video shows direct animation for the After Effects layer elements, likely to convey the concept a little easier. It is worthwhile to note that any time you want to key something, you should have a rig to accept those keyframes, not the element itself.
A great example of using a rig with a fake 3D turn is this tutorial from animator and illustrator, Hunan Hunanyan. The tutorial covers how to rig a car using DUIK in After Effects, making use of the Morpher tool there. Check out that tutorial here.

PictureBox.LoadAsync Method (String)
Loads the image at the specified location, asynchronously.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
If the url parameter indicates a local file, the recommended format is a local file path. For example, an image file named myPicture.jpglocated atc:\ would be accessed by passing c:\myPicture.jpg for the url parameter. A full path, such as _URL_ or a relative path, such as./images/image.jpg, can be used. If a relative path is used, it will be considered relative to the working directory. A call to the Load method sets the ImageLocation property to the value of url.
A call to the LoadAsync method sets the ImageLocation property to the value of url. Besides calling the LoadAsync method, you must set the WaitOnLoad property to false to load an image asynchronously. When you load an image asynchronously, you can handle the LoadProgressChanged event to determine the progress of an image load or the LoadCompleted event to determine when an image load has completed. If an error occurs during an asynchronous image-loading operation, it will be caught and reported by the Error property of the AsyncCompletedEventArgs.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the LoadAsync method. To run this example, paste the following code into a Windows Form that contains a PictureBox named pictureBox1 and a Button named startLoadButton. Make sure that the Click event for the button is associated with the startLoadButton_Click method in this example. You must change the image file path to a path that is valid on your system.

I have a p4300 SAN storage in my network, I create a volume and assign that to TWO servers, i cant sync data between two volume and any change in one of them dont appear to another, how i can do that?

I imagine you're not using a cluster-aware file system, you're probably using something like FAT, NTFS, ext2/3/4, XFS etc. You'll need to use a cluster file system such as OCFS2, Microsoft Cluster-Services enhanced NTFS, Veritas Storage Foundation, VMFS or others. This is a very basic but all too commonly misunderstood problem for junior storage techs to run into.
share|improve this answer
You can't do this with a normal file system, as Chopper3 has pointed out. Trying to do this will quickly lead to data corruption. What you should do is either use a cluster-aware file system, or use a replication technology to synchronize two separate volumes, each presented to a single server.

I go along with the generally accepted theory that the game measure is 33cm.
The third clue enigma 780 talks about 'where you must by the compass and the foot.'
The 'foot' most likely refers to 'pied du roi', and it the word 'step' in the title also hints at this measure. A common value was close to 33cm.
The visual shows a compass. The compass has a diameter of 10.5cm, which Max confirmed. The method to work out the perimeter of the circle = 2 x Pi x radius, where the radius = diameter / 2 = 5.25 cm and Pi = 3.1415, or about 22/7. So, the perimeter of this compass is 33 cm.
The 33cm measure fits very well with the measures mentioned in the book, to give neat whole numbers eg. 185km rather than messy numbers like 176.457889km!
Other ideas for the measure
Some people think the measure is the compass AND the foot, so 10.5cm + 33cm so 43.5cm.
The historic measure the 'foot' had many variations over the centuries, as this French Wikipedia page devoted to the 'Pied' shows. The 74 cm foot is used by some owl hunters.
The word "measure" appears in the puzzles. 500, 420 and 650, as well as an additional clue : " For good measure, there's only one in the book ".

NOVA Pentagon
NOVA Pentagon

The five-sided parachute with oscillation damping
Safety through innovation: the PENTAGON parachute distinguishes itself through innovative design, combined with high-quality materials. After deployment, the PENTAGON offers a rapid opening, immediate oscillation damping and a low sink rate. The result is a rescue system you can fully trust in any situation.
NOVA Pentagon Packing Instructions Video
Five sides for high pendular stability. The five-sided shape is self-stabilising: if the PENTAGON experiences a pendular impulse towards a corner, the restoring force will automatically act in the opposite direction. Opposite a corner is an edge, where the airflow is significantly different and this counteracts unwelcome oscillations. The resulting pendular stability is excellent.
Quick to open, slow to descend. The sink rate is extraordinarily low: during certification, with maximum load, the Pentagon 120 had a sink rate of 5.2 m/s.
Five corner vents for fast opening. Five corner vents assist inflation during the opening. The opening is faster and more reliable than with conventional parachutes. This is not only critical when close to the ground, but it also reduces the risk of the parachute getting tangled in the paraglider's lines before opening.
Equal suspension line length for uncomplicated packing. A prerequisite for quick opening is that the parachute is packed regularly. The PENTAGON is quick and easy to pack. The base and centre lines are all the same length and equal distance from each other. They are also colour-coded. This means that the risk of errors during packing is minimal.
Intensive testing
 - The PENTAGON was designed in collaboration with Urs Haari of High Adventure. Urs drew on his experience of over 300 deployments with various parachutes.
 - He extensively tested the PENTAGON during the different design phases. The focus was on tests with the paraglider attached. In practice, this is much more common than the certification test scenario where the paraglider is jettisoned. The practical tests were supplemented by flow simulations of various designs. In the end, the Pentagon was the best of all solutions.

Kitchen countertops made of concrete are generally thin, smooth, pigmented, and polished to a light gloss. But despite their beauty and elegance, they are not designed to resist cuts and scratches. Cutting directly on your concrete countertop does not actually damage the concrete, but it does damage the sealer. Once the sealer has broken down, the ability of your concrete countertop to resist stains and water is reduced. Constant cutting using knives can result to gouges and scratches on the surface's finish. It can also cause the sharp edges of your knives to chip or become dull.|
What causes cuts and scratches on concrete countertops?
- Just like other kitchen countertops, the surface and edges of your concrete countertop can chip or cut if they are struck by a heavy, solid object.
- Due to the inherent characteristics of the materials used in making the concrete countertop, it can be prone to hairline cracks. This is a natural occurrence and is not an indication of the structural failure of the countertop.
- Pointed objects that are regularly slid across, rubbed, or dropped on your concrete countertop can cause minor to moderate cuts and scratches.
How to prevent and repairing cuts and scratches on your concrete countertop
- To prevent cuts, scratches, and stains, seal your concrete countertop properly. Sealing does not only protect the surface, it enhances the sheen and color as well.
- For additional luster and protection against serious damage, apply a finishing wax or other protective coating on your concrete countertop to help preserve the sealer. Apply it regularly to maintain its effectiveness.
- Do not cut directly on the surface of your concrete countertop because it is not designed to serve as a chopping board. Make it a habit to use a separate cutting board when preparing food. Appropriate inserts can also be installed on your concrete countertop that can serve as a permanent area where you can cut, slice, and dice food directly on your countertop.
- Avoid exposing your concrete countertop to strong chemicals like acids, oven cleaners, and paint removers. These chemicals contain destructive substances that can damage the surface. If any contact with these chemicals occurs, wipe the surface with water right away.
- Evaluate the severity of the scratches on your concrete countertop. For small scratches, use a sanding pad with the finest grit to wipe them away. The level of roughness and smoothness of sanding pads are determined by their color. Arranged from roughest to smoothest, sanding pads come in white, yellow, green, peach, lilac, blue, and gray colors.
- Using the appropriate sanding pad, remove the scratches on the surface by rubbing it in a straight line, periodically switching to a 90-degree direction. Make sure all scratches are removed before you stop rubbing. Wet the surface to reduce dust accumulation while sanding.

Dog Injuries Due To Leash Straining
Dog Leash Straining
"Who is walking whom?"
This question pops into my mind whenever I see owners being dragged down the street by their dogs. Leash pulling usually becomes a complaint only after a large dog has finally succeeding in pulling its owners off their feet, with resultant injury or embarrassment.
Most cases of leash pulling involve dogs that have become accommodated to the discomfort of a choke chain, pinch collar or even a leather collar. Some of them cease pulling only long enough to cough, some even regurgitate or take a few deep breaths, then continue struggling forward.
Most dog owners have no idea that their frustrated leash-pulling dog might actually suffer physical injury during their daily tug-of-war. However, in a Swedish study by the noted behaviorist Anders Hallgren, of 400 dog owners who agreed to have their dog's spines X-rayed, 63% were found to have spinal injuries. Of the injured dogs with neck (cervical) injuries, 91% had experience harsh jerks on the leash or were serious leash strainers! Among aggressive or overactive dogs, 78% had spinal injuries.
Head harnesses are very effective in controlling even the most straining of dogs and should be seriously considered.

How to Get Students to Respond to Surveys
In order to create the ultimate student experience, campuses need to know what the student wants. However, standard surveys, suggestion boxes and substantial feedback are hard to come by—especially from students. This prevents campuses from making the necessary improvements to improve overall campus life. Here we'll be listing 3 ways you can go about capturing valuable feedback.
1) Highlight the effectiveness of their participation
If students can directly see the results of survey participation, they might be inclined to partake as well. This can be done by posting results on social media, or with any medium that you know will generate high visibility. Using the Hangry Campus Branded app, you are able to send students push notifications directly to their phone which can include survey results, and how their feedback led to significant changes or improvements.
2) Provide Incentive
Millennials and GEN Z students are all about convenience, and what benefits they can receive. By providing incentive for filling out surveys, you will generate more participation and results. A great way to do this is through the Hangry Loyalty and Rewards feature. Through this feature, you can place points on virtually any action within your app. Therefore, you can reward students' points every time they participate in a survey or review a product/service. These points can then be redeemed in your mobile rewards store for campus prizes and experiences. This double-edged sword allows you to increase student participation in surveys, and promote campus retail, events, etc. through your mobile rewards store.
3) Keep it Simple, and Part of the Student Experience
The best way to ensure a student will never fill out your survey is to make it long and filled with boring questions. If you want to ensure students will fill out a survey, you need to keep it brief and fly under the radar. How do we accomplish this? Well, your first step is to state your goals to the student. An example of this would be a survey titled, 'Want your experience to be better next time? So do we. Let us help'. Letting them know you have their best interest at heart will cover your introduction (colloquial language is encouraged as it will give off a more personably approach). From there, you want to keep the survey very short and not too detailed.
Finally, you want to ensure the survey is blended into the student experience. With Hangry's Campus Branded App, you are able to strategically place surveys right into the daily app usage of each student. The survey could come after a mobile ordering experience, or it could be advertised as a content to earn points or meal plan credit.

Although the spectral effects of direct and diffuse radiation on solar photovoltaic (PV) performance are relatively well understood, recent investigations have shown that there can be a spectral bias introduced due to albedo from common ground surfaces that can impact the optimal selection of PV materials for a known location. This paper extends analysis to the effects of spectral bias due to the specular reflectivity of 22 commonly occurring surface materials (both man-made and natural) and analyzes the albedo effects on the performance of seven PV materials covering three common PV system topologies: industrial (solar farms), commercial flat rooftops and residential pitched roof applications. An effective albedo is found for each surface material and PV material combination, which can be used in lieu of broadband albedo values in PV simulations. These results enable PV material selection for specific environments enabling geographic optimization for the micro-environment, while at the same time assisting optimal surface selection in the vicinity of existing or planned PV arrays. This analysis is of particular significance for the modeling of performance of bi-facial PV modules and vertical BIPV.

The No. 1 question about fire and smoke dampers that mechanical engineers and contractors ask is, "How do the controls work with the actuators?" This article explains that.
We must clearly distinguish among three types of dampers.
Fire dampers, which rarely are actuated, close when a rise in temperature occurs and stay shut to stop fire from passing through a barrier. About 90 percent of fire dampers are curtain-type dampers that close when a mechanical fusible link melts, releasing a closing mechanism. A damper must be in the plane of a firewall, although some jurisdictions make exceptions if ducts are heavy duty. Out-of-partition dampers are available from most manufacturers.
In a few cases, auxiliary contacts are needed to prove opening and closing in periodic testing. Dampers with blade switches or actuators with internal auxiliary switches provide proof of closure.
Fire dampers normally close when the temperature of the fusible link reaches 165°F, although some local variations exist. For example, if steam coils are present in ducts, use of a 212°F high limit may be used. The fire-damper temperature then may rise a couple thousand degrees, but the damper will hold for the time rating for which it was designed.
Each year, several million fire dampers are installed in barriers designed to slow the spread of fire (Photo A).
Smoke dampers, which are actuated, must open and close when required to provide fresh air or to stop smoke passage. They do not have to have high-limit sensors or fusible links to close automatically. Smoke dampers often provide signaling for indicator lights, as discussed later in this article.
Practices vary by geographical region and by type of smoke control mandated by codes. Most commonly, a smoke detector (or two) inside of ducts will shut down fans and close dampers if smoke is detected. Area smoke detectors sometimes are wired to a central fire-alarm panel, while a panel contact or remote relay initiates closing.
Smoke dampers do not need to be within a wall providing a smoke barrier; they merely need to be within 24 in. of the wall. As a result, the actuators may be axle-shaft mounted. However, most are jackshaft mounted with linkage to the damper blades (Photo B).
Combination fire and smoke dampers
Because combination fire and smoke dampers, which are more common than simple smoke dampers, are fire-rated, their blades must be in a barrier wall. The actuator cannot be in the wall, so a jackshaft and linkage are employed with the actuator connected to the jackshaft extension outside of the damper sleeve. (There are other methods. However, this is standard in the United States.) Almost all current actuators are direct-coupled.
Page 2 of 3
There are several accepted methods of temperature sensing and actuator control. A fusible link that restrains a shaft spring can perform the fire-damper function while an actuator provides the smoke-control function. The fusible link disconnects the damper blades from the actuator and ensures its closure. The actuator can open and close for smoke management only until the fusible link melts. Alternately, an electric bimetal sensor with a reset button can be used for the single primary sensor.
The system in Figure 1 is found in about 80 percent of the combination fire and smoke dampers on the market today. A smoke detector with a local thermal sensor is used as shown in Figure 1, which is a containment-damper application.
An engineered smoke-control system with reopenable dampers is less common. These have provisions for a firefighter to control the dampers more precisely.
Combination fire and smoke dampers in smoke-control systems have two sensors — primary and secondary. The primary can be overridden by firefighters' control; the secondary is manually reset at the damper only.
When a dual sensor is used, the first sensor always is electric. It opens, removes power, and lets the actuator spring the damper closed. The second sensor may be a fusible link or a higher-temperature electric sensor. Typically, a primary sensor will register 165°F before closing a damper, while the secondary sensor will register 250°F. In about 15 percent of cases, the secondary sensor will register 350°F.
The wiring of a dual-sensor combination fire and smoke damper can be seen in Figure 2. If a fire were to break out and duct temperature were to increase to 165°F, the damper would spring closed to keep the fire from spreading. However, firefighters could choose to reopen the damper for smoke-control purposes. If the temperature reached the 250°F (sometimes 350°F) limit, power again would be cut off and the actuator would spring closed. It could not be opened again until a reset button were pressed. Firefighters also could close an open damper to prevent oxygen from feeding a fire or air pressure from pushing smoke into other areas.
Original dampers had release mechanisms that only included external springs. Actuators did not have an internal spring. Later, a fusible link and dual springs were standard. One fire spring was used to close the damper until the fusible link could be replaced, while a separate actuator spring was used to close the damper if the actuator lost power, although the actuator could reopen against the spring. Now, most manufacturers use electronic methods of sensing and control. The actuator spring is the only spring in most recent designs.
Page 3 of 3
A firefighters' smoke-control system (FSCS) has status-indication lights in addition to manual hand-off-auto switches. The lights allow for verification of damper position and override status. They can be initiated from auxiliary switches on an actuator, damper-blade switches, or proximity switches.
Actuator switches often are preferred, as they are as reliable as blade-switch indication. The linkage between actuator jackshaft and damper is more robust than the typical coat-hanger connection from damper blade to switch package.
Fully engineered smoke-control systems exist in about only 10 percent of applications. Firefighters have control of dampers in these systems. Indicator lights show the systems' status.
Figure 3 shows a simple method of indicator-light wiring. The lights could be in a panel or local junction box, which could be located in the ceiling. An FSCS panel also would have an amber light indicating fault. If the damper were closed, the red light would be on. If the damper were open, the green light would be on. A variety of wiring methods are possible.
In some jurisdictions, the red light means "fire" or "problem," while the green light means "OK." In other areas, green means "on," and red means "off," particularly for fans. Although rare, some dampers normally are open when not powered, and the red and green lights could be switched. This can confuse a firefighter during the commotion of a fire. Indication lights should be discussed with a local fire department to ensure correct operation.
PROPORTIONAL DAMPER CONTROL
Figure 4 shows two proportional applications. The pressure in a stairwell or duct may need to be controlled at a certain set point. A smoke damper is required if a wall also is part of a smoke barrier. Given typical space constraints, one damper and actuator are technically and economically superior to two (or three, if a wall also is a fire barrier).
There are two ways to provide proportional damper control:
No proportional electric actuator meets Uniform Building Code (UBC) criteria for 15 sec of operation. These actuators cannot be installed in UBC regions (which currently are California and a few outside cities). In these cases, two dampers are required. A two-position fire and smoke damper sits in the rated wall. A standard proportional damper and actuator are installed in series.
In International Building Code regions, a proportional fire and smoke damper and actuator can be installed because the code (based on Underwriters Laboratories 555S, Standard for Smoke Dampers) requires a 75-sec maximum for operation. Actuators that meet the 75-sec requirement (20 sec to spring closed, 75 sec to drive open) are available.
The type of damper used depends on the application. Actuation is provided for smoke-control dampers and combination fire and smoke dampers. Containment systems are the most common, while reopenable dampers provide fire departments with more options.
By following the wiring diagrams in this article and comparing them with the sequence of operation, one can gain an understanding of the operation requirements for interfaces between mechanical and control systems.
Codes and practices differ geographically. One should consult local inspectors, contractors, and representatives with specific questions. The methods shown in this article are typical, although practices may vary.

Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometer System Using Wavelength Modulated Source
Meller, Scott A.
MetadataShow full item record
Interferometric optical fiber sensors have proved many orders of magnitude more sensitive than their electrical counterparts, but they suffer from limitations in signal demodulation caused by phase ambiguity and complex fringe counting when the output phase difference exceeds one fringe period. Various signal demodulation methods have been developed to overcome some of the these drawbacks with limited success. This thesis proposes a new measurement system for the extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) sensor. Using a wavelength modulated source and a novel extended-gap EFPI, some of the limitations of interferometric signal demodulation are overcome. By scanning the output wavelength of a multilongitudinal mode laser diode through current modulation, the EFPI sensor signal is scanned through multiple fringes. Gap movement is then unambiguously determined by monitoring the phase of the multiple fringe pattern.

The Diameter Maintenance and Extensions WG will focus on maintenance and
extensions to the Diameter protocol required to enable its use for
authentication, authorization, accounting, charging in network access,
provisioning of configuration information within the network, and for
new AAA session management uses within the extensibility rules of the
Diameter base protocol.
The DIME working group plans to address the following items:
- Maintaining and/or progressing, along the standards track, the
Diameter Base protocol and Diameter Applications. This includes
extensions to Diameter Base protocol that can be considered as
enhanced features or bug fixes.
- Diameter application design guideline. This document will provide
guidelines for design of Diameter extensions. It will detail when to
consider reusing an existing application and when to develop a new
- Protocol extensions for bulk and grouped AAA session management. The
aim of this work is to study and standardize a solution for handling
groups of AAA sessions within the Diameter base protocol context. The
solution would define how to identify and handle grouped AAA sessions
in commands and operations.
- Diameter overload control. The aim of this work is to identify the
limitations of the Diameter protocol level overload control provided
by the current Diameter Base protocol. A set of requirements will be
provided to define a new Diameter level overload control mechanism.
Additionally, Diameter-based systems require interoperability in order
to work. The working group, along with the AD, will need to evaluate any
potential extensions and require verification that the proposed
extension is needed, and is within the extensibility rules of Diameter
and AAA scope. Coordination with other IETF working groups and other
SDOs (e.g. 3GPP) will be used to ensure this.

I have a table with a string field called info. This field has some information about drivers and cars like 'Driver: Matt Car: Mustang'.
Is there a way to get the query in two columns, like that: | Matt | Mustang |.
I have no idea what I can do, maybe regular expressions?

Are 'Driver' and 'Car' fixed? I mean, do you have exactly these two in every row? – dezso Aug 8 '12 at 16:35

Doesn't really matter whether what strings you got in place of "Driver" and "Car" as long as the space is there and the name is to the right of the space.

If I did not understand wrong, you could maybe use string_to_array function to split the string into array elements and then reach the elements on your desire.
Please see this post for further information: Get Nth element of an array that returns from "string_to_array()" function

Would work and a more beautiful than I did, but my field can return information more or less. So much easier if I could create separate fields for each value :/ _USER_ – Irish Wolf Aug 9 '12 at 12:47
Your best bet would be to write a function to take one of these values and return a record with the appropriate columns based on what it finds. That will allow you to debug your function using SELECT statements before you go to populate the new columns (or tables). Then you can use the query in an INSERT/SELECT or UPDATE... FROM.
You could use the plpgsql language for the functions, with the PostgreSQL regex string functions; but if you're fluent in perl or python you might want to write your function in one of those languages.

What you're talking about is a very unfortunate design pattern called serialization: that is, condensing multiple semantically different pieces of data into a single string. It's a bad idea most of the time, and in virtually all cases it's a better idea to separate your data into multiple fields, or even multiple tables. By using serialized fields, you'll find you:
 - Have much, MUCH slower queries when querying multiple, serialized subfields
 - Complicated queries for updating multiple parts of the same field
 - Feelings of depression and despair
If I had to deal with a database like that, and I couldn't alter the database structure, I'd probably end up doing a lot of the heavy lifting in program code. Many languages have better (or at least, more intuitive) string handling tools than SQL, and your performance benefits from using a RDBMS are going to be marginal at best when dealing with serialization anyway.
But if you absolutely must do this in SQL, you should read through Postgres's string handling, located here: _URL_
And you're right, your solution is probably going to involve a regex. Exactly what that regex will look like depends on how many serialized fields it has to parse, and exactly how it's delimited. In your example, it looks like each subfield is delimited by a pair of spaces and a pipe character between them, and if that's the case make sure that you either create rules to let you escape that delimiter as needed, or make sure that the frontend never passes the delimeter to the database.
Of course, if you have that kind of control over the frontend app, you could give the serialized data its own fields.
share|improve this answer
Okay, but my quest is find a way to do that with SQL. _USER_ – Irish Wolf Aug 8 '12 at 15:26
Then Postgres' string handling functions are where you should be looking: _URL_.1/static/functions-string.html – sudowned Aug 8 '12 at 20:07
i did this:
select split_part(( case when
strpos(l.info,'Driver:') >= 1 then substr(l.info,strpos(l.info,'Driver:')+10, strpos(l.info,'Driver:')+9) end),E'\n',1) as driver from garage
Not at all pretty, but returns the data according to my need

1. What is the standard moisture level in the charcoal?
2. How to calculate or measure the moisture content before selling/export?
3. Do you have any easy way to check if the moisture content is o.k.?
Basis of calculation: % Moisture ( wet weight ) = (weight of charcoal – dry charcoal) x100 /starting charcoal weight.
4. If we have high-tech tools to measure the moisture, what is the favorable level for charcoal / charcoal briquette export.
Please kindly reply
Normally, the charcoal / charcoal briquette moisture content should be in range of 7-10 %. However, there are some differences between charcoal (wood charcoal) and charcoal briquette.
1) If the charcoal manufacturer use water to extinguish the fire, then it would be somewhat higher moisture off the stove than to extinguish by closing the kiln, which almost no moisture left. Anyway, Usually charcoal will absorb the moisture in the atmosphere soon after you remove the charcoal from the kiln. If you do not put water directly to stop the carbonization (stop the charring), then the moisture content will not exceed 10%.
Other categories, such as mangrove charcoal imported from Myanmar, most of it will be humid because the sea water or sea water splashing into the boat. The salt is very rich in charcoal.
Ever is the time to send them to the destination. Countries with low humidity, like the Israel, the weight after 1 month storage can loose more than 5-10% in dry season. It has been my experience with clients who have experienced this but they were already aware of this problem at first (that is what I was told).
Conclusion is that rarely do they make it much moisture. But we can check easily and to be aware of is the time to pack a bag or box. If too damp can cause rot box or bag wet. You can test by packing and taking the box/bag under the sun and then, after back into the shade and cooling, open to check it.
Because containers can reach reach 60-70 degrees Celsius during shipping, if travel long distance like to Europe it will be more than 1 month, extreme heating/cooling will cause the problem.
2 ) Charcoal briquette with moisture higher than 10 percent moisture, it will become softened and mushy after a 1-2 day after packing. Thus, carry out a test (same as charcoal case), it is not difficult to know that the humidity is low enough or not.
