ADAS Repairs
May 15, 2020—The auto industry is closer and closer to what some call its heyday: the connected car changing how shops repair a vehicle.
The connected car market size is expected to grow to over $200 billion by 2027, according to a MarketsandMarkets, which provides B2B research on 30,000 high growth, emerging opportunities.
To prepare for the future of cars with ADAS calibrations and diagnostic repairs, shops need to think ahead in terms of space and equipment. With most automakers like BMW, Audi, Ford, Acura, Volvo, Volkswagen, Nissan and others offering connected cars, a shop will be left behind in convenient services if it isn't structured to accommodate them. If a shop operator doesn't plan now, there might simply not be space in the facility to successfully compete and perform these repairs.
For Mark Kipfer, co-owner of Auto Glass Express in Berkeley, Calif., setting up a space for cars with ADAS repairs, involves essentially building a virtual box around the vehicle.
He has an interface with the vehicle's computer and a pad that has the software on it. When the operator runs through the system, it will inform him or her, how to place the targets and which targets are required, including the sequence of where to place those targets. Once the vehicle sees the targets, it can calibrate the camera.
In the designated shop space, the vehicle has to be level, the frame has to be on square with the vehicle and the targets need to be placed correctly.So, there's no physical adjustment of the camera but there is physical adjustment of the camera.
For Jacques Navant, technical director for Don's Mobile Glass and The Calibration Station in Modesto, Calif., the process involves a tightly controlled environment. One example is a controlled light source, which includes an enclosed, open work area without natural light so the technician has complete control of every aspect of the light source.
"You have to have a controlled light source, direct sunlight or refractions from other surfaces can give you the false impression of a job done complete and accurate, or a failed calibration," Navant says. "If your light source is distorting the target that your camera is trying to pick up and calibrate to then you're not doing a true, accurate calibration."
He says the layout for these has to be a large, open area. For shops performing repairs on more American vehicles, they might need a bigger area because they require larger sized targets to complete the calibration.
Breaking down what you need for your space:
 1. Designate one stall or bay for only calibrations.
 2. Set up off-white curtains around the bay that can be pulled across the whole area so that nothing visually can confuse the camera.
 3. Make sure you have a space designated that is at least about 30 feet deep and 15 feet wide.
 4. Have a controlled light source.
 5. The space needs to have blank walls and blank floors with no distinct lines or patterns.

Fine soaps hand crafted in small batches
Soap on a Rope
Making soap on a rope is easy especially if you're making one out of soap scraps. That's right. We're using soap scraps to make soap on a rope either for your personal use or to give to someone else. Soap on a rope is something you can do to make use of those soap scraps instead of just throwing them away or letting it soak in your soap dish. Let's begin making your very first soap on a rope with the following steps.
First, you will need to prepare the materials needed for soap on a rope. These are the soap scraps, warm water, and nylons. You'll need 1 cup full of soap scraps to make soap on a rope. Now that you've gathered all the materials, let's start by breaking up the soap scraps into tiny little pieces. It will be best to use a grater or knife. That's how small it should get. Now, prepare a mixing bowl and place the grated soap scrapes in the bowl. Next, prepare a half cup of warm water. Pour it into the bowl and let it stand for about an hour.
After an hour, start kneading the soap and the water together as if you are kneading dough. Make sure to make it smooth and come up with the consistency of thick dough. If needed, add more warm water as needed. Make sure to add only a little at a time. You can use a tablespoon to make sure you only add little amount of water. If you want to add color, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture until the desired color is achieved. Blend well. Now, it's time to shape the mixture into a ball. Lay a piece of wax paper on the table and set the soap on top. It will take at least 24 hours to dry.
Once dry, cut about 12 inches nylon and create a loop around the soap ball. Tie the ends of the nylon above the soap ball. Now, you can hang your soap on a rope in the shower!


Frequently Asked Questions
WakaTime only tracks your coding activity when you're typing or changing things in your text editor or IDE. The plugins "ping" our api with heartbeat events when you're using your IDE. When the heartbeats stop, that tells us you stopped using your IDE or text editor. Set a timeout value (default 15 minutes) to tell us how long until we mark you as AFK. When you're not using your text editor for longer than your timeout value, we stop counting you as active.
For example, if you took a 10 minute break and your timeout is set to the default 15 minutes, the 10 minutes where you were AFK will be logged. However, setting your timeout to 5 minutes would not log your 10 minute break.
WakaTime accurately detects the time you code in each file and project, down to the second.
This high-level state machine shows how:
 1. WakaTime starts a timer when you begin editing a file.
 2. The timer is stopped when you go AFK by reaching your timeout setting. When you go AFK, WakaTime rewinds the timer until the time you last edited the file.
 3. The timer is also stopped when you switch to editing a different file. In this case, WakaTime saves the time from when you started editing the original file until when you switched to the new file. The time is reset and we start over at step 1 with the new file.
Your public profile uses the default 15 minute timeout value with a time range of Last 7 Days from Yesterday.
We also subtract coding activity from language Other.
The leaderboards use the same formula as your public profile.
Setting your preferences to the defaults, matching the leaderboard time range, and subtracting coding activity categorized as language Other will show the same coding activity as your dashboard.
When working offline your coding actiity is saved in an sqlite3 database at $HOME/.wakatime.db. The next time you use your IDE when online, your coding activity is syncronized.
Data & Privacy
WakaTime sends heartbeat events triggered from user actions inside your text editor to the WakaTime API.
Heartbeat events contain data such as:
 - absolute path of current file [1]
 - current time as a UNIX epoch float (seconds.milliseconds)
 - whether the event was triggered from writing to a file
 - current project from a supported revision control
 - current branch from a supported revision control
 - total number of lines from the file as an integer
 - current cursor position as an integer
 - syntax language guessed from the file, for example Python or JavaScript
 - libraries and frameworks detected from the file, for example Flask or Rails
 - your computer's hostname, like MacbookPro.local or HOME-PC
Heartbeat events are sent:
 - every 2 minutes if you are actively using your text editor
 - when you switch between files
 - every time you write to a file
The easiest way to hide files/folders from WakaTime is adding them to the exclude array in your $HOME/.wakatime.cfg file.
For example, to prevent tracking all folders named private:
[settings] exclude = /private/
For Windows use escaped backslashes:
[settings] exclude = \\private\\
You can list multiple paths in your config file, and each path is a POSIX regular expression:
[settings] exclude = ^/var /private_\d+/
The above example excludes any path starting with /var and also any folder named private_123 where 123 can be any number.
You can also configure WakaTime to obfuscate file names by adding hidefilenames = true to your $HOME/.wakatime.cfg file.
This means only your project names will be sent to the website, so you can not see coding activity per file.
The hidefilenames setting also accepts a list of folders instead of just true or false, for example:
hidefilenames = /path/to/private/folder/ /another/folder[\d+]/matched/by/regex/
Note: Sublime Text users won't have a $HOME/.wakatime.cfg file, so create one using this example config.
Yes, you can export all your coding activity in JSON format here.
No, your coding history is saved even on the free plan. The dashboard limitation is to prevent overwhelming our servers with having to process too much data. However, your coding activity is kept and made available if you choose to upgrade sometime in the future.
WakaTime creates projects for you automatically, based on your coding activity.
This means you don't need to manually create a project, just use your IDE or text editor like normal.
WakaTime is a passive reporting dashboard, and automatic project detection fits with the philosophy of never getting in your way.
WakaTime recognizes the project's name one of four ways:
 1. Revision control software (Ex: Git, Mercurial, or Subversion):
 To set the project name for a folder, go to that folder in a terminal and type:
 git init
 Files inside that folder will be assigned to a project with that folder's name.
 * only renames projects for new coding activity
 2. Create a.wakatime-project file inside your project directory. Type the project name as the first line of this file and WakaTime will use that project name for all files inside this directory.
 * only renames projects for new coding activity
 3. Adding the project directory to your ~/.wakatime.cfg file under the [projectmap] section.
 * only renames projects for new coding activity
 4. As a last resort use custom rules:
 * Warning: this will rename projects from past coding activity. Use with caution!
To exclude projects from being logged in the future, add the project's path to your ~/.wakatime.cfg file under the exclude setting.
To delete a project, you must first remove it's coding activity using the Coding Activity Delete Tool.
After removing a project's coding activity, you can delete the project by visiting the project's dashboard and clicking the trash icon.
Make sure the plugin is correctly installed in your editor. ( Look for a WakaTime menu under File/Tools )
Check when your editor was last heard from using the User Agents API Endpoint.
If one editor isn't listed or hasn't been "seen" in a while, look for error messages in that editor's log file or in the common ~/.wakatime.log file.
If you use multiple computers, find when a computer's hostname was last heard from using the Machine Names API Endpoint.
The value is the Hostname and ip is the IP Address of your machine.
To see your recent raw coding activity, use the Heartbeats API Endpoint.
Please create a new issue in the appropriate GitHub repo with any error messages.
 1. All WakaTime plugins use a common core (wakatime-cli) for communicating with the API.
 This common core writes errors to $HOME/.wakatime.log.
 2. Errors from the editor plugin go to your IDE's log file:
 Locating your IDE's log file
 3. Please create a new issue in the appropriate GitHub repo with your error messages.
To generate a new api key on the website, go to your API Key page.
Make sure to update your api key in $HOME/.wakatime.cfg(for plugins using wakatime cli) or WakaTime.sublime-settings(for Sublime Text) with your newly generated api key.
Yes, all WakaTime plugins play well together. You can switch between multiple supported editors and your coding activity will be syncronized correctly. If you use revision control software, your project will be detected even when using multiple editors.


Bunny-shaped folded napkins dress up Easter dining tables
 - Fri Apr 2nd, 2010 9:58am
 - Life
We know it's Easter already and you've probably set your table, but here's a last-minute napkin-folding exercise to fluff up your settings. If you need photos to follow, go to _URL_ and search for "napkin folding."
Step 1: Take a solid-colored square napkin, and starch it for optimal workability. Thinner napkins work better.
Step 2: Fold the napkin up in half.
Step 3: Fold up in half again, to form a long rectangle.
Step 4: Fold the right and left sides down to meet in the center, forming a point at one end.
Step 5: Fold the opposite corners up.
Step 7: Gently turn your napkin over.
Step 8: Fold the bottom point up, so that it is roughly 1 inch above the center of the napkin.
Step 9: Carefully, turn the napkin over again.
Step 10: Roll the left side over, slightly past the center of the napkin.
Step 11: Fold the right side over, tucking the end into the pocket you created on the left side, holding your napkin together.
Step 12: Turn the napkin upright, separating the bottom to form a base. Fluff your bunny's ears.

How to design packaging tape (video tutorial)
Publicado por Hayden Aube
Designer, Hayden Aube, shows off his favorite techniques for creating a seamless packaging tape design in Adobe Illustrator.
When ordering from Sticker Mule, our artists will work with you to transform your design into a seamless pattern, but if you'd like to do it yourself, follow along.
Step 1: Create your document
Create a new document. The size of your artboard will determine the size of your pattern.
Step 2: Layout your tape
Using the Rectangle tool (M), create a rectangle that matches the size of your artboard.
Remove the stroke, and give it a fill with you desired background color.
Position the rectangle directly at the center of your artboard and lock it in place.
Step 3: Add design elements
Place any design elements you want to include in your pattern over the existing background.
Be sure to have some of the design overlapping the edge of the artboard. This will help to create the seamless pattern.
Step 4: Reposition overlapping elements
Duplicate each object that is overlapping the edge of the artboard (Copy, then Paste in Front).
Next, move each object to the opposite side of the artboard. Use Object > Transform > Move to move it exactly the same width or height of your artboard.
Step 5: Make your clipping mask
Using the Rectangle tool (M), create another rectangle that matches the size of your artboard, then align it to the center of your artboard.
With everything selected, right click, and select Make clipping mask.
Step 6 (optional): Add to Swatches
With everything selected (including the background), drag the artwork to your Swatches panel. This will create a pattern that you could then apply to any shape.
Once you have a pattern you're happy with, you can upload it to Sticker Mule for printing.
As with all of our orders, you'll receive a proof in 4 hours and our custom packaging tape ships in 4 days or less with free shipping. Samples of custom packaging tape featuring your design are just $4.

 4. DropBox Conflicted Files
Dropbox doesn't contain any functionality that enables it to merge various copies into a single file. You will have to either go through all the instances of a single file by yourself or use a third-party software, if you can find one. Going by the manual way can particularly be very tiring as well a time consuming, but this is probably the only way you can be assured of not unintentionally erasing any critical change that was made to the parent file and saved in one of the copies.
Understanding the problem
Conflicted copies arise most commonly because two people have attempted to edit a file at the same time from different locations. Each person has a copy open on their end, they're constantly making changes, and then all of them try to save those changes, resulting in a complete mess like situation. This is one situation which Dropbox simply isn't equipped to resolve. Instead of making an assumption and deleting one version, or attempting to merge multiple versions on its own, Dropbox creates conflicting copies to preserve the work done across different locations.
Solution 1: Removing the conflicted files
If you simply wish to cleanly delete the conflicted variants of your document and continue with the existing primary document, that is as easy as it can be! All you've got to do is make sure you don't have any conflicting versions still networked in from any other location(s) and then go ahead and delete the conflicting versions from Dropbox. The problem stands resolved in an instance.
How to identify conflicted copies
Edit the files as usual, and then check for any conflicted files in the Dropbox folder. If there are any conflicting files indeed, they will appear as the following screenshot. Remove one of them to solve the conflicted file problem.
Conflicted copies detected
Solution 2: Use Read-only lock for Windows users
Windows users can use the Read-only attribute from the properties area of the files that are more likely to be conflicted. But this may be not an ideal solution when the user is dealing across multiple kinds of platforms.
 1. Right-click on the appropriate file, and select Properties.
 2. Select Read-only from the attribute list.
Solution 3: Use a folder named "Your Name –in USE"
Files are more likely to be conflicted when all the parties working on them, aren't aware of changes being continuously made to them. For this reason, use a separate folder and name it as In USE to signal to all the parties that files in this folder are being edited from edited from multiple locations simultaneously.
How to merge Dropbox files that have become conflicted
Now, if you want to preserve both sets of changes, that's going to be a little more tricky. Dropbox doesn't have any built-in solutions for such a situation, so you're going to need to work it out with third party tools or a manual solution. This can be a major pain or very easy, depending on what sort of file you're looking at, how familiar you are with iteration software for that file type, and how many differences exist between the versions.
In a worst-case scenario, you'll need to manually adjust one version to contain all of the appropriate content from the variants, then follow the previous set of instructions to delete the redundant versions. This can be very time consuming, but it well might be your only option if you want to preserve everything from two or more conflicted files.
Avoiding future conflicted copies
Once you've resolved the issue one way or the other, you can take further steps to avoid this in the future. Whether the issue arose because two or more people worked on the document at the same time or because you had it open on multiple systems, there are three ways to prevent it from arising in the future.
 - Improve communication between collaborators
 - Move documents that are being modified to a different subfolder, so only the most relevant people can access and edit them
 - Move documents from Dropbox to a local folder while they're being worked on, so nothing can possibly interfere
And there you have it—simple solutions to a common difficulty with Dropbox (and many similar backup and file sharing solutions). If mistakes are made again, and conflicted copies pop up, you'll know exactly what to do next time.

 hobbit-alerts.cfg - Configuration for for hobbitd_alert module
 The hobbit-alerts.cfg file controls the sending of alerts by Hobbit
 when monitoring detects a failure.
 The configuration file consists of rules, that may have one or more
 recipients associated. A recipient specification may include additional
 rules that limit the circumstances when this recipient is eligible for
 receiving an alert.
 Blank lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are treated as
 comments and ignored. Long lines can be broken up by putting a
 backslash at the end of the line and continuing the entry on the next
 A rule consists of one of more filters using these keywords:
 PAGE=targetstring Rule matching an alert by the name of the page in BB.
 This is the path of the page as defined in the bb-hosts file. E.g. if
 you have this setup:
 page servers All Servers
 subpage web Webservers
 subpage db Database servers
 Then the "All servers" page is found with PAGE=servers, the
 "Webservers" page is PAGE=servers/web and the "Database servers" page
 is PAGE=servers/db. Note that you can also use regular expressions to
 specify the page name, e.g. PAGE=%.*/db would find the "Database
 servers" page regardless of where this page was placed in the
 The PAGE name of top-level page is an empty string. To match this, use
 PAGE=%^$ to match the empty string.
 EXPAGE=targetstring Rule excluding an alert if the pagename matches.
 HOST=targetstring Rule matching an alert by the hostname.
 EXHOST=targetstring Rule excluding an alert by matching the hostname.
 SERVICE=targetstring Rule matching an alert by the service name.
 EXSERVICE=targetstring Rule excluding an alert by matching the service
 GROUP=groupname Rule matching an alert by the group name. Groupnames
 are assigned to a status via the GROUP setting in the hobbitclients.cfg file.
 EXGROUP=groupname Rule excluding an alert by the group name. Groupnames
 clients.cfg file.
 COLOR=color[,color] Rule matching an alert by color. Can be "red",
 "yellow", or "purple". The forms "!red", "!yellow" and "!purple" can
 also be used to NOT send an alert if the color is the specified one.
 TIME=timespecification Rule matching an alert by the time-of-day. This
 is specified as the DOWNTIME timespecification in the bb-hosts file.
 DURATION>time, DURATION1h (lasted
 longer than 1 hour) or DURATION<30 (only sends alerts the first 30
 minutes). The duration is specified as a number, optionally followed by
 'm' (minutes, default), 'h' (hours) or 'd' (days).
 RECOVERED Rule matches if the alert has recovered from an alert state.
 NOTICE Rule matches if the message is a "notify" message. This type of
 message is sent when a host or test is disabled or enabled.
 The "targetstring" is either a simple pagename, hostname or
 servicename, OR a '%' followed by a Perl-compatible regular expression.
 E.g. "HOST=%www(.*)" will match any hostname that begins with "www".
 The same for the "groupname" setting.
 The recipients are listed after the initial rule. The following
 keywords can be used to define recipients:
 MAIL address[,address] Recipient who receives an e-mail alert. This
 takes one parameter, the e-mail address.
 SCRIPT /path/to/script recipientID Recipient that invokes a script.
 This takes two parameters: The script filename, and the recipient that
 gets passed to the script.
 IGNORE This is used to define a recipient that does NOT trigger any
 alerts, and also terminates the search for more recipients. It is
 useful if you have a rule that handles most alerts, but there is just
 that one particular server where you dont want cpu alerts on Monday
 morning. Note that the IGNORE recipient always has the STOP flag
 defined, so when the IGNORE recipient is matched, no more recipients
 will be considered. So the location of this recipient in your set of
 recipients is important.
 FORMAT=formatstring Format of the text message with the alert. Default
 is "TEXT" (suitable for e-mail alerts). "PLAIN" is the same as text,
 but without the URL link to the status webpage. "SMS" is a short
 message with no subject for SMS alerts. "SCRIPT" is a brief message
 template for scripts.
 REPEAT=time How often an alert gets repeated. As with DURATION, time is
 a number optionally followed by 'm', 'h' or 'd'.
 UNMATCHED The alert is sent to this recipient ONLY if no other
 recipients received an alert for this event.
 STOP Stop looking for more recipients after this one matches. This is
 implicit on IGNORE recipients.
 Rules You can specify rules for a recipient also. This limits the
 alerts sent to this particular recipient.
 It is possible to use macros in the configuration file. To define a
 $MYMACRO=text extending to end of line
 After the definition of a macro, it can be used throughout the file.
 Wherever the text $MYMACRO appears, it will be substituted with the
 text of the macro before any processing of rules and recipients.
 It is possible to nest macros, as long as the macro is defined before
 it is used.
 Alerts can go out via custom scripts, by using the SCRIPT keyword for a
 recipient. Such scritps have access to the following environment
 BBALPHAMSG The full text of the status log triggering the alert
 ACKCODE The "cookie" that can be used to acknowledge the alert
 RCPT The recipientID from the SCRIPT entry
 BBHOSTNAME The name of the host that the alert is about
 MACHIP The IP-address of the host that has a problem
 BBSVCNAME The name of the service that the alert is about
 BBSVCNUM The numeric code for the service. From the SVCCODES
 BBHOSTSVC HOSTNAME.SERVICE that the alert is about.
 BBHOSTSVCCOMMAS As BBHOSTSVC, but dots in the hostname replaced with
 BBNUMERIC A 22-digit number made by BBSVCNUM, MACHIP and ACKCODE.
 RECOVERED Is "1" if the service has recovered.
 EVENTSTART Timestamp when the current status (color) began.
 SECS Number of seconds the service has been down.
 DOWNSECSMSG When recovered, holds the text "Event duration : N" where N
 is the DOWNSECS value.
 CFID Line-number in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file that caused the script
 to be invoked. Can be useful when troubleshooting alert configuration
 hobbitd_alert(8), hobbitd(8), hobbit(7), the "Configuring Hobbit
 Alerts" guide in the Online documentation.

To use FILESTREAM feature both Windows administrator and SQL Server administrator have to enable it. While enabling from Windows there are three options to choose from:
- Enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL Access check box.
- Enable FILESTREAM for file I/O streaming access. This is to read and write FILESTREAM data from Windows. Enter the name of the Windows share in the Windows Share Name box.
- Select Allow remote clients to have streaming access to FILESTREAM data. This is to let remote clients access the FILESTREAM data stored on this share.
For SQL Server instance there are three options to choose from:
- 0 – Disable FILESTREAM support for this instance
- 1 – enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL access only
- 2 – enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL and Win32 streaming access
Note that FILESTREAM would perform worse for 1MB+ size files for full read/write if Transact-SQL is chosen (and Win32 streaming is not chosen) than no FILESTREAM BLOB.
Now that FILESTREAM is enabled, we can go ahead to do the rest of the setups.
First, create a file group to keep the FILESTREAM data. There is a 1:1 mapping between data containers and file groups.
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase ADD FILEGROUP MyFileStreamGroup1 CONTAINS FILESTREAM;
Second, define data container. In the below example, "D:\Production" must exist already. "D:\Production\FileStreamDataContainerRoot" is going to be the root of the data container.
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase ADD FILE ( NAME = FileStreamGroup1File, FILENAME = 'D:\Production\FileStreamDataContainerRoot') TO FILEGROUP MyFileStreamGroup1 ;
Third, create a table with a FILESTREAM column. All FILESTREAM columns of a table must go to a single FILESTREAM group that can be specified, defaulting to default FILESTREAM filegroup. Table must have a column of the non-null uniqueidentifier data type with ROWGUIDCOL attribute and either a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY single-column constraint. FILESTREAM data container will have a directory for a table with subdirectory corresponding to the FILESTREAM column of the table.
USE MyDatabase ; GO CREATE TABLE TableWithFileStreamColumn ( DocumentID INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, Document VARBINARY (MAX) FILESTREAM NULL, DocGUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL ROWGUIDCOL UNIQUE DEFAULT NEWID ()) FILESTREAM_ON MyFileStreamGroup1;

Instant Ocean Hydrometer economically tests your aquarium's salinity and specific gravity.
Specific gravity measures the relative salinity (amount of dissolved salts) in your aquarium water in comparison to pure water. Measuring specific gravity on a regular basis is crucial to maintain the ideal environment for your marine inhabitants. The following helpful tips will ensure accurate results when measuring specific gravity.
- Most hobbyists use a simple hydrometer or a refractometer to measure salinity.
- For professional results consider a portable refractometer or a high tech electronic salinity monitor.
- Before changing your aquarium water, measure and record the specific gravity. Make sure the new saltwater matches the specific gravity of your aquarium. Too much of a deviation in salt levels could "shock" or potentially kill sensitive aquarium inhabitants.
- Replenish evaporated water with clean freshwater - not prepared salt water. Remember, salts remain behind after water evaporates. If you top off your aquarium with salt water, you are compounding salt levels in your aquarium.
- Before using a new swing-arm hydrometer, condition or "season" the hydrometer by soaking it in saltwater for 24 hours.

FAQs About Refractometers
What does a refractometer do?
Serious hobbyists know that the best way to measure the salinity and specific gravity of aquarium water is to use a refractometer. These precision optical instruments are incredibly accurate even at very low salt levels, and are equally easy to use. Recently, these instruments have become more affordable, so now every aquarium owner can have one to help monitor water conditions.
How do I use it?
Place 1 to 2 drops of aquarium water onto the prism glass and close the plate cover. Once a fluid sample is placed on the measuring surface, the light passing through it slows and bends. The refractometer focuses this bent light on a tiny internal scale. The scale is magnified by the eyepiece lenses so it is easily visible.
Look through the eyepiece and view the scale. The top portion of the scale appears blue and the bottom part appears white. Take your reading at the intersection of these two colors. One side of the scale measures salinity and the other side measures specific gravity.
To effectively monitor your marine aquarium water conditions, consider investing in a refractometer. The accuracy and affordability make it worthwhile.

The Archbishop of York, John Kershan, is to chair the Living Wage Commission. The Commission is a 12 month inquiry into the future of the Living Wage.
Launching the Living Wage Commission, the Archbishop of York was excited and explained what their plans effectively are.
Right now, millions of people are not receiving a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. The scale of low pay in the UK is a national scandal. Around five million people, the majority of them women, aren't paid a wage high enough to provide a basic but acceptable standard of living. In too many workplaces, the basic moral imperative that workers be paid enough to live on has been lost in the pursuit of profit.
"The Living Wage offers us hope. It is a simple idea with profound implications for the lives of millions. Yet for too many people, the notion of being paid enough to live on remains an abstract concept. I am honoured to be chairing a Commission that will investigate how to build a strong future by paying the Living Wage to workers and, in so doing, build a fair and just society."

Frozen iPod is nothing new for most users. In fact, it is something that is being experienced from time to time. iPod Touch is in a way durable even if they could experience freezing at some point. Fixing it could be simple, although in severe cases, the iPod Touch might be replaced.
One of the reasons leading to iPod frozen is the presence of corrupted files. When this happens, the operating system is not likely to know what to do with the file causing a freeze. Other reasons include lack of memory, physical freezes and in some cases, no battery.
Part 1 How to Fix Frozen iPod
1 Steps to Fix iPod Touch Frozen
iPod Touch is prone to freeze from time to time. However, when it happens, follow the steps below to fix it.
- First, you have to hold down the Wake/Sleep button that is found on the top of iPod Touch till a red slider comes up to the screen. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off your iPod Touch. Then restart your iPod Touch. (If the red slider never comes up even by pressing the button for 25 seconds, you need to reset it.)
- Reset the iPod Touch by holding down the Wake/Sleep button and Home button at the same time for about 10 seconds, then the Apple logo will appear.
- Connect your iPod Touch to an adapter and wait for it to charge.
- Press the Home button to check your iPod Touch's battery status.
- Update the iPod Touch's firmware through iTunes as you connect it to your computer.
- If the Home button is still unresponsive, restore your iPod Touch to factory settings through iTunes.
2 Steps to Fix Click-Wheel iPod frozen

- Check Hold switch, move it to On position and then to Off position.
- Restart the iPod by holding down the Menu button on the click – wheel as well as the center button at the same time.
- Repeat the steps above if it fails.
- Then plug iPod to a power source and charge it appropriately.
- If all these steps fail to fix it, then it is possible you may need an upgrade.
3 Steps to Fix 1st/2nd Generation iPod Frozen
The following steps will help you fix a frozen 1st and 2nd generation iPod.
- You have to move the Hold switch first to On position and then to the Off position.
- Simultaneously hold down the Menu and Play/Pause buttons on the iPod for about 6 to 10 seconds.
- When this does not work, you may have to plug it to power source and charge it.
- Use one finger to push down each button if it does not work.
- If it still fails, then it is advisable to contact Apple support.
Part 2 Get Enough Storage to Avoid iPod Touch Frozen
iMyFone iPod Touch Cleaner (Windows version /Mac Version) has the capability of preventing iPod Touch frozen by ensuring you have enough storage in the first place. It works specifically for your iPod Touch 4 and iPod Touch 5. It is regarded as one of the most efficient iPod Touch cleaner that can free up tons of storage space. More space means that the chances of having your iPod Touch frozen are eliminated and you can make more fun out of your device.

What is abstraction in computing? Give an example of how it works.
Abstraction is when functionality of some parts of a system are hidden from other parts of the system. For example, when a driver starts his car - he does not need to know about the inner workings of a combustion engine, he simply turns his key and the ignition starts. In this example the engines functionality is hidden from the driver.
If you would like to explain to someone how your day has been, which tense would you use? What are the three tenses?
I would speak in the past tense. The 3 tenses are past, present and future.
What is a pre-processor directive in C# and how would you use one?
A pre-processor directive indicates code that should be executed before compilation begins. We indicate pre-processor directives by following a line of white space with a # character.


Hardware and construction designs and instructions for building a solar-powered mobile phone charging station. The charging station uses simple, durable and easily replaceable components to provide a portable, solar-powered mobile phone charger.
Robust and portable
The design consists of a hand-pushed trolley, two solar panels, and a car battery. Each charging station provides 60 W of power to Com-Tablet and can charge up to four additional devices at the same time.
Water-resistant containers are used to store the batteries, and electrical connections are all placed in a waterproof box, which also provides a place to store phones while charging. The solar panels easily fold away so charging stations can be taken inside overnight and/or during bad weather.
As the charging stations are mobile and produced using a straightforward user-friendly design, communities can take full ownership of them. Residents can adapt, relocate or modify them to better suit their needs.
Build your own Com-Charge
Each charging station consists of a sack trolley, 12 volt battery, solar panels, regulator, wiring and bolts. Com-Charge costs around £350 to build.

LEGO makes Technic Angle Connectors, like these:
Technic Angle Connector #1 Technic Angle Connector #2 Technic Angle Connector #3 Technic Angle Connector #4 Technic Angle Connector #5 Technic Angle Connector #6
(Here are names and part numbers).
They also make angular liftarms, like these:
Technic Beam 4x4 liftarm bent (part 32348).
That last part has an angle of 53.5 degrees. What are the angles of the angle connectors, and why were these angles chosen? (I'd understand angles like 45, 60, and 72 degrees, but 53.5?!)
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
up vote 14 down vote accepted
The regular connector have simple angles which are multiples of 22.5°. #4 is 45°, #3 is 22.5° and #5 is 67.5°. That's pretty boring stuff, but there you go.
The 53.5 angle isn't as bizarre as you would think and there's a very good reason for it (and less boring to me, but YMMV).
That reason is that it forms a Pythagorean triangle, and specifically the best known 3:4:5 one, meaning these liftarms can be used together with regular right-angle frames to make sturdy constructions.
The one you chose isn't the best example as the beam doesn't extend to the full hypotenuse (the connection points need to be 5 studs apart), but the longer one is perfect for that. If the small side is attached to a beam, the cross at the end of the long side will be perfectly aligned on a beam that would be 4 studs higher.
LEGO uses that to connect beams 4 studs apart in a very solid way, for example in 8435 - 4WD (the blue beam behind the front wheel) or in the more recent 8053 - Mobile Crane (left of the linear actuator)
And for the record, the angle in degrees is weirder that just 53.5°; it's actually 53.130102...°, or the invert cosine of 3/5. So if you thought Pythagoras and trigonometry wouldn't come and annoy you in your play, you're oh so wrong.

Aha! I knew there was a reason for the angle on the lift arm. Thank you. I did try connecting a number of angle bricks (of the same type) together with axles to see if I could make a complete circle, and it didn't work. I'll have to try again; maybe my axles are bent. – Clinton Blackmore Feb 19 '13 at 15:34
Try shorter axles :-) - that said, it works fine with #3 (16 sides) #4 (8) and #6 (simple square, obviously), but it won't work with the #5 one. And #2 might take a loooooong time, but there at least bendy axles will actually help. – Joubarc Feb 19 '13 at 15:42
Ah. It must've been the #5 ones I was working with. Thanks again : ) – Clinton Blackmore Feb 19 '13 at 16:58

Let $x(n)$ be the solution to the following equation $$ x=-\frac{\log(x)}{n} \quad \quad \quad \quad (1) $$ as a function of $n,$ where $n \in \mathbb N.$ How would you find the asymptotic behaviour of the solution, i.e. a function $f$ of $n$ such that there exist constants $A,B$ and $n_0\in\mathbb N$ so that it holds $$Af(n) \leq x(n) \leq Bf(n)$$ for all $n > n_0$?
share|cite|improve this question
1 Answer 1
Call $u_n:t\mapsto t\mathrm e^{nt}$, then $x(n)$ solves $u_n(x(n))=1$. For every $a$, introduce $$ x_a(n)=\frac{\log n}n-a\frac{\log\log n}n. $$ Simple computations show that, for every fixed $a$, $u_n(x_a(n))\cdot(\log n)^{a-1}\to1$ when $n\to\infty$. Thus, for every $a\gt1$, there exists some finite index $n(a)$ such that $x(n)\geqslant x_a(n)$ for every $n\geqslant n(a)$, and, for every $a\lt1$, there exists some finite index $n'(a)$ such that $x(n)\leqslant x_a(n)$ for every $n\geqslant n'(a)$. Finally, when $n\to\infty$, $$ nx(n)=\log n-\log\log n+o(\log\log n). $$ The assertion in your post holds with $f(n)=(\log n)/n$, $n_0=\max\{n(A),n'(B)\}$, $B=1$ and every $A\lt1$.

The solution can be written as $x_n=W(n)/n$, where $W$ is Lambert's function. – Julián Aguirre Mar 8 '12 at 9:21

Are you a professional seeking to obtain or maintain a professional license, or wanting to simply clear your criminal record?
A Certificate of Rehabilitation can assist you in licensing and other matters.
While a Certificate of Rehabilitation cannot eliminate a conviction (dismiss) or remove it from your record, it acts as a positive element on your record. It also is an element of mitigation and rehabilitation in professional license defense cases and addresses certain statutory prohibitions that may prevent a person with a felony from getting hired by certain government agencies.
The Certificate of Rehabilitation can be an option for you if:
 1. You are not eligible for expungement because you had a sentence to state prison.
 2. If you are required to register as a sex offense.
 3. You want to strengthen your background after your felony conviction was expunged.
Depending on the crime, there may be waiting periods before you are able to seek a Certificate of Rehabilitation.
We will help determine the best timing for your Certificate of Rehabilitation, and we will determine the best location in which to file your petition. It may be in the county in which you live, or within the county in which the crime occurred. While the process is time-consuming and difficult, we will work with you to ensure a comprehensive and substantial packet of evidence can be submitted on your behalf.
The license defense attorneys at S J Harris Law are well equipped at painting a positive picture of you, and to highlight your mitigation and rehabilitation. This is the same type of evidence that would otherwise be necessary to defend or obtain a professional license.
All cases involving a Certificate of Rehabilitation are done on a flat fee basis and are all-inclusive through the actual legal process.
However, it is important to recognize that even after an expungement or relief in the criminal court is awarded, including a Certificate of Rehabilitation, background check companies may continue to report your conviction. When this occurs, you will need to pursue additional actions outside the expungement and rehabilitation process handled by S J Harris Law

Air pollution is a growing health problem for urban populations in emerging economies. The present study examines the (cross-sectional) relation between blood pressure and particulate air pollution in schoolchildren of Lahore (Pakistan).
We recruited a sample of 8–12year-old children (mean age 9.9years; 45% girls) from two schools in Lahore situated in areas with low (n=79) and high (n=100) air pollution, respectively. During the study period (January-April 2009) particulate pollution [PM10 and PM2.5i.e. particles with aerodynamic diameters below 10μm or 2.5μm, respectively] was measured at the school sites with a laser operated device (Metone Aerocet 531). Blood pressure was measured, after 5 minutes of sitting rest, using an automated device (average of 5 consecutive measurements). Spot urine samples were also collected and concentrations of Na and K were measured.
Mean daily values of PM2.5 were 28.5μg/m3 (SD: 10.3) and 183μg/m3 (SD: 30.2), in the low and high pollution areas, respectively. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly higher in children living in the high pollution area (115.9/70.9mm Hg) than in the low pollution area (108.3/66.4mm Hg), independently of age, gender, height, weight, socio-economic status, passive smoking and the urinary concentrations of Na, K, and creatinine.
In 8–12year-old children, exposure to (traffic-related) air pollution was associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure. These findings, if they persist, might have clinical relevance at older age.


World's First Pressure-based Gait Authentication System
Biometric Physical Security • Multi-Subject Tracking • Real-Time Streaming of Data
Stepscan® Secure is the world's first pressure-based gait-authentication system for access control. Stepscan® is the only company producing modular pressure-sensitive flooring that is large enough to capture many footsteps of natural gait leading to a secure area. It is configurable to suit most any space or hallway.
Stepscan® also has developed the world's first in multiple subject tracking based on real-time streaming of footprint data. This enables us to collect the footprint paths/tracks of multiple individuals simultaneously and combine the footprints in each person's path for added verification accuracy.
Based on the above features of our Stepscan® platform and research supported by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) we have shown that we are able to analyze various features of a person's gait and foot/floor interactions and differentiate individuals just by their walking patterns.
security gate
Features at a Glance:
 - Gait samples for registration can be acquired passively during initial entries
 - Unobtrusive scanning as part of entrance system
 - Indiscernible to the public/would be imposters
 - Detects tailgating
 - Very difficult to steal/hack a person's gait to bypass system
Dual Authentication Access Control • Next-Level Security
Access control is an integral part of any business or facility's security, ensuring that only those with proper authority and credentials gain access. To enhance security measures many facilities are now moving to 2-Factor or Multi-Factor Authentication methods. They are usually a combination of a knowledge factor (PIN code), a Possession Factor (key card) and an Inherent factor (usually a biometric method such as a fingerprint, face or retinal scan).
2-Factor authentication helps ensure that the person attempting to gain access is who they say they are and reduces the risk of unauthorized access due to stolen passwords or key cards.
Stepscan's® pressure-based gait authentication system uses a subject's gait as the biometric authentication, providing next-level of security unavailable with any other system:
 - Passive registration - unlike other biometric technologies which require formal user registration, gait samples for registration can be acquired silently during initial entries reducing burden to both the staff and those seeking access.
 - Unobtrusive - A key feature of most biometrics is that the user must present themselves (e.g. finger, hand, iris, face etc) to a sensor and be scanned. Gait is a natural movement that usually takes place leading up to a secure entrance. It is completely unobtrusive.
 - Indiscernible - Because a user isn't required to actively present themselves for inspection, there is also the potential for making it hidden - and generally unknown to would be imposters
 - Detects tailgating - The flooring solution can be used to detect when two or more individuals enter a secure space only on the authentication of one individual.
 - Very secure - As gait is a by-product of a person's biomechanical makeup, it cannot easily be mimicked.

Why Choose To Offset Your Weddin
Why choose to offset your wedding?
Weddings are a special kind of event in one's life, an event where dozens or hundreds of people come together, sometimes across great distances, to celebrate a special moment in a couple's life.
According to recent data, the average wedding produces 63 tons of CO₂. Offsetting this emission has become a viable option in the last few years. ICONIC now provides couples with a convenient option to offset their wedding.
Use the calculator below to quantify your wedding's impact on the environment, and see what offsetting options are available.
Carbon Emission Calculator
Fill in the fields to calculate the amount of CO₂ emission your wedding will produce.
Choose a project to support from the packages below by offsetting your wedding.
Not only will you have a greener wedding, you will also become a vital part of a community that fights climate change.
The Katingan Mentaya Forest Project
The project protects vital peatland habitats in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia along with economic, educational, health and gender support to the surrounding communities.
CO2OL CliMates
The combination of a climate protection project in Germany and Indonesia for peatland restoration. Peatlands are important carbon sinks that stabilize our climate.
Sustainable Community in Canada
Energy efficiency and solid waste diversion activities within the Quebec community regrouping hundreds of SME, stimulating their GHG efforts.
We use Global Warming Potential Values (GWP) provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency to identify the quantity of greenhouse gas emission and to offset it in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e).
Our calculations are based on The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG protocol) methodology as a referring source.
In order to calculate the total of CO₂ emission from cars used in the wedding we estimate the total number of miles driven in the wedding and multiply this number by the average CO₂ emission per 1 mile. The same calculation method is used to determine CO₂ emission from flights in total. The total number of miles from all the flights are multiplied by the average CO₂ emission produced by a plane per 1 mile. Calculation is based on US Environmental Protection Agency's data.
We ask to specify the type of meal served at the wedding in order to determine how much CO₂ emission will be produced by the total amount of food served in your wedding. The type of meal has an impact of the amount of CO₂ produced. Recent studies have shown that vegetarian and vegan meals produce much less CO₂ emission compared to meals that contain meat. According to the Oxford University study figures, an average non-vegetarian meal produces 15.8 pounds of CO₂ when vegetarian and vegan meals produces almost half of that: 8.4 and 6.4 pounds of CO₂ respectively. We base our calculation according to the number of guests that choose non-vegetarian and vegetarian/vegan meal options in your wedding.

The Singapore Armed Forces
(SAF) has two rank structures
One rank structure is similar to that of other military in other country. One major difference is that the SAF uses a unified rank structure, with identical rank names and insignia throughout the Army
, and Air Force
. For example, traditional Navy ranks such as Ensign
have been replaced with Army-style ranks. Only two exceptions exist to the unified rank structure. Firstly, among the flag officer ranks, the Navy retains the Admiral
ranks. The second exception is for the rank insignia for Private
and Private First Class
among the Air Force, and the Army and Navy.
This structure is subdivided for Officer
, Warrant Officers
, and enlisted men.
The other structure is for the Military Domain Experts Scheme (MDES), which comprises eight ranks (ME1 – ME8).MINDEF
, Personnel under this Scheme are collectively known as Military Experts (MEs).
Unlike most Commonwealth countries, the armed forces of Singapore no longer use British-style rank insignia nor many British rank titles. Company officers are represented by bars, field officers by coats-of-arms and flag and general officers are represented by stars, similar to the systems of the Republic of China
, South Korea
, and (in particular) Indonesia
for example. American influence is obvious in relation to the existence of two Rear Admiral ranks.
The SAF rank structure is largely similar to that of the Singapore Civil......


Welcome to this project
Waves propagate in solids in a very special way. The stiffness properties define the elastic properties in a specific crystal, either isotropic or anisotropic. Having each direction in the crystal differences in the stiffness constant with respect to others, they have also differences in the resistance or facility for flux energy passing. As a result of this the energy flux takes some preferred directions which are not always perpendicular to the source.
The slowness velocity graphs for crystals allows predict energy flux deviations and solve the wave reflection-refraction problems.
In order to generate these slowness velocity graphs, it is necessary to use the wave equations and the material properties of the crystals.
This project allows the user to generate the slowness surfaces in an excel application.
To apply specific course knowledge in a practical application (useful not only for personal learning process but also for any other person who wants to get involved).

- Elseya albagula;
 - turtle;
 - diving;
 - bimodal respiration;
 - water impoundment
This study investigated the diving behaviour and performance of the bimodally respiring turtle Elseya albagula within the Burnett River, central Qld, Australia. Diving parameters were recorded using pressure-sensitive time-depth recorders for turtles residing within a free flowing versus regulated reach. Maximum submergence time recorded for El. albagula (greater than 3 hours) is among the longest recorded for a voluntarily diving vertebrate, and is attributed to the turtle's ability to respire aquatically. Median dive times logged for El. albagula within the regulated reach (6.7 min) were threefold longer than values recorded for turtles residing within a naturally flowing creek (1.9 min), with discrepancies in dive duration possibly due to the variable hydrologic flows recorded below the weir. No correlation was observed between dive duration and subsequent surfacing intervals, suggesting that dives remained aerobic throughout the study. Despite considerable differences in the magnitude and daily variation of water flow between the two locations, similar diel activity and surfacing trends were recorded for El. albagula. Turtles undertook deep resting dives (>1.5 m) during the day before moving into shallower habitats (<1.0 m) for the night, while the crepuscular hours were characterized by elevated surfacing frequencies attributed to periods of increased activity possibly associated with foraging.

Japan's funerals deep-rooted mix of ritual, form
Funerals in Japan incorporate a unique mixture of religion, tradition, culture, ritual and geography that to the outsider may appear perplexing.
Following are questions and answers about funerals in Japan and related activities:
Do funerals generally have a religious context?
With regard to rituals, most Japanese partake in a mixture of Shinto and Buddhism, with the latter customarily focused on funerals and the departed.
According to a Tokyo Metropolitan Government survey in fiscal 2001, 85 percent of 453 respondents said funerals they have participated in were Buddhist in nature, 4 percent were Shinto and 3 percent Christian. A further 4 percent said they have been involved in nonreligious funeral ceremonies.
How does a typical Buddhist funeral ceremony proceed?
The immediate family first keeps a night vigil, or wake, over the deceased on the day of death and generally holds the funeral the following day. Participants can attend either the wake or the funeral, or both.
During the wake and funeral services, participants who are not among the next of kin customarily offer money to the bereaved and burn incense to pray for the soul of the deceased at a temple or other venue where a monk chants sutras before an altar.
After the ceremony, the deceased is often carried in an ornate hearse to a crematorium.
After the cremation, the family and close friends use special chopsticks to collect bone fragments for a cinerary urn, which is traditionally placed in a family grave within 49 days after the funeral.
Rituals can vary, depending on the branch of Buddhism dealing with the deceased.
In recent years, ceremonies have generally tended to become simpler.
Why are rites performed at both the night wake and the funeral the following day?
They are different rituals.
The wake is the last occasion for the next of kin to spend time with the deceased, and the funeral is a ceremony of departure.
Wakes are believed to have originally been gatherings of pupils who talk all night about the lessons from the Buddha when he passed away. These days, relatives and friends stay all night in a lighted room with the deceased, at least as per the practice of the Jodo sect of Buddhism, according to its Web site.
Wakes are also nowadays more convenient for working people to attend than funerals.
Why do participants offer money to the next of kin, and what is the general amount?
It is customary for people to make a monetary offering to those holding ceremonies, including funerals, to ease the financial burden of such events.
The amount paid often depends on how close the contributor was to the deceased and how old the person is. When a colleague dies, the amount can range from ¥3,000 to ¥20,000. When parents and siblings die, family members may pay more.
Part of the custom also entails a return thank-you gift for the offering, in many cases a designer towel or dish.
What is the proper attire for attending a funeral and proper way to burn incense?
Basic black suits, dresses, ties and shoes are the norm, and accessories are kept to a minimum. Wearing gray clothing at a wake is acceptable because it is considered a gesture that the attendant felt the death was unexpected.
At many ceremonies, a tray is passed around with incense powder and a flame. The usual practice is for attendants to hold up a small amount of incense and then put it in the flame bowl, repeating the drill one or two more times, depending on the Buddhist sect.
What happens after funerals?
The next of kin and close friends traditionally hold memorial services on each seventh anniversary of the death up until the 49th, although not everyone strictly adheres to this. Similar services are even held one year, two years and six years after a death.
At a gathering at the home of the deceased or a close relative, a monk will chant sutras in front of the family Buddhist altar and then dinner follows.
Cleaning family grave plots on the anniversary of the death or during the weeks of the vernal and autumnal equinoxes are common, as well as during the Bon holiday in August, when people who do not live near their family graves have time off work to make the trip.
Why is cremation the norm here?
Cremation in Japan springs from Buddhist tradition. The practice is based on the legend that the Buddha's body was burned and his soul transmigrated, unlike the belief of Christians, Jews and Muslims in the Resurrection.
The first recorded cremation in Japan was in 700 and coincided with the arrival of Buddhism in the sixth century. But in the early years, only monks and high-ranking people were cremated because the wood to make the fires was too costly, according to the book "Sekai no Soso" ("World Funerals"), compiled by monk Kodo Matsunami.
The custom spread nationwide only after the war, because of the limited land in urban areas and for sanitary reasons.
Before and during the war, burials were the norm.
By fiscal 2007, cremation accounted for 99.8 percent of all those who died, according to the health ministry.
Big metropolitan areas, particularly Tokyo and Osaka, have local ordinances that require cremation for the sake of public health and because there is not enough land to allow burials.
Rural, remote areas aren't always so restrictive.
Do Japanese Christians seek to bury their dead like many of their Western counterparts, who believe the body is needed for resurrection to occur?
Cremation is the norm for Japanese Christians.
Citing the nation's regulations, the Rev. Tomeyuki Naito, general secretary of the United Church of Christ in Japan, said, "As for us, almost all are cremated."
Although Muslims here are few in number, they have a cemetery that accepts burials in Yamanashi Prefecture run by the Japan Muslim Association.
How much do funerals and related services cost?
The costs average ¥2.31 million, including ¥1.42 million for funeral-related fees and ¥401,000 for catering to attendants and ¥549,000 for monks, according to a survey published by Japan Consumers' Association in 2008.
But the costs depend on the size of the ceremony. Two out of the 314 respondents of the survey said they spent ¥200,000 to ¥300,000, the lowest amount, which another two shelled out more than ¥10 million, the highest.
Are all ceremonies expensive?
No, and the trend is to spend less.
"In recent years, we see the trend because many people become more practical and do not spend wastefully," Kamakura Shinsho, which publishes funeral-related dictionaries, says on its Web site.
An increasing number of funerals are held only by the next of kin. Some go for unconventional funerals and forgo the typical, and pricey, Buddhist trappings.
Some gatherings will play the favorite music of the deceased. Others may show photographs of the dead.
Even the family plot may no longer be the final resting place. Some people want their ashes scattered at sea or from an airplane.
Other Japanese have opted for much pricier excursions, having their remains sent into space, Kamakura Shinsho notes.

Water bridge (5mm length, 1mm diameter) between two glasses filled with heavy water, under a voltage of 15 kV.
In 1893 Sir William Armstrong reported a remarkable experiment: if a high voltage is established between two wine-glasses filled to the brim with pure water and connected by a cotton thread, a rope of water is formed and remains suspended between the lips of the two glasses. This "water bridge" can subsist for a few seconds even once the thread has been removed.
Recently, a group of physicists from Graz University, Austria succeeded on establishing a bridge (without any thread!) between the two glasses under a voltage of 20 kV. The length of the bridge may reach values larger than 1 cm, its diameter is of the order of a few mm and the lifetime currently exceeds 1 hour. Under the effect of the electrical field, the local temperature increases and reaches 60° C, a temperature sufficient to break the bridge. More...

Adam Parkes investigates the literary and cultural implications of the censorship encountered by several modern novelists in the early twentieth century. He situates modernism in the context of this censorship, examining the relations between such authors as D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Radclyffe Hall, and Virginia Woolf and the public controversies generated by their fictional explorations of modern sexual themes. These authors located "obscenity" at the level of stylistic and formal experiment. The Rainbow, Lady Chatterley's Lover, Ulysses, and Orlando dramatized problems of sexuality and expression in ways that subverted the moral, political, and aesthetic premises on which their censors operated. In showing how modernism evolved within a culture of censorship, Modernism and the Theater of Censorship suggests that modern novelists, while shaped by their culture, attempted to reshape it.

(Tip: Clay will stick to glass if pressed against the surface, so use a light hand in working with clay on the bottle mold.) Add strips of clay to form the bottom portion of the vase, using your finger to smooth the joints. Add another strip to create a top lip. Use your finger to gently smooth the surface, join the creases, and use a small amount water to wet the clay along the seams. Use dampened sponge to smooth uneven surfaces.


What you need to know about Non-Morning People
I am not a morning person. I continually fail to understand why people who have known me for many years appear to forget this. Ultimately, I have decided that they are suicidal and they have chosen me as the means to that end. If you are not suicidal, here are some tips to survive the early hours with a non-morning person.
1. Do not speak. In fact, try not to make any noise at all. Whatever you do, never speak directly to the non-morning person.
2. Do not make eye contact. This is considered a precursor to speech. Don't do it.
3. Do not block the sink, the doorway, the hallway, and most especially the coffee pot.
4. If at all possible, leave random steaming cups of caffeinated beverages around the house to distract the non-morning person from yourself.
5. Do not be cheerful (i.e. loud) within sight or hearing of the non-morning person. Witnessing early morning cheerfulness is known to significantly delay the caffeine response in the afflicted. You do not want this.
6. Do not take it personally when a non-morning person does not return a chipper morning greeting. You have violated rule 5 and she is simply busy trying not to kill you.
7 – 9 DO NOT SPEAK to the non-morning person. This is repeated for your own benefit. Learn it. Live it. Tattoo it on your arm if necessary.
10. If you must speak to the non-morning person, first check to see if she has coffee in her hands. This will help distract her from the urge to cause you bodily harm. If you're lucky, she may answer in something approximating English. It may or may not contain expletives though. Sorry.
The above rules will generally be in effect until no less than 3 large cups of decent grade coffee are consumed. Violate them at you own risk.
