The main cause of solder cracks
The solder cracks of MLCC will not only occur in the manufacturing process such as the soldering process, but also will occur under severe use conditions after being launched on the market. The main reasons are as follows.
(1) Thermal shock and temperature cycling cause thermal fatigue
In an environment with repeated temperature changes of high and low temperatures, thermal stress is applied to the solder joints due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between MLCC and PCB. In addition, in the welding process, this situation can also occur due to imperfect temperature management.
(2) Lead-free solder
The lead-free solder used for environmental protection purposes is hard and fragile. Compared with the conventional eutectic solder, solder cracks are more likely to occur, so special attention is required.
Applications and substrates that require special attention in solder crack countermeasures
The main causes of solder cracks are thermal shock, thermal fatigue caused by temperature cycling, and the use of hard and brittle lead-free solder.
Therefore, special attention should be paid to the packaging around high-temperature heat-generating parts such as automobile engine compartments in environments where rapid heating (rapid) or rapid cooling (rapid cooling) may occur, such as rapid changes in peripheral temperature (thermal shock).
In addition, products installed in environments where the temperature changes repeatedly, such as outdoors, such as solar power generation, wind power generation, base stations, and other infrastructures, require attention to countermeasures against solder cracks due to their long maintenance cycles.
Summary of MLCC solder crack countermeasures
When stress is applied to the junction between the capacitor and the substrate, "solder cracks" may occur, which may cause components to fall off and open circuit failures.
Equipment exposed to thermal shocks and temperature cycles such as automobile engine compartments or equipment with other heat sources; implementation of maintenance-free infrastructure; hard and brittle lead-free solder joints require special attention.


HSPHERE: When Do I Pay?
Upon the account activation, a new billing period opens. It determines how far in advance recurrent fees for billing period resources are prepaid. Accounting for such resources as traffic, disk usage, MySQL and PGSQL quotas is determined not by billing periods as it is for the rest resources, but by a billing month. It equals the number of days in the billing period divided by billing period duration in months.
A new billing period/month opens:
- when your account is activated upon signup or moderation
- when the previous billing period closes
- when the previous billing month closes (valid only for billing month)
- when you change to billing period shorter than the time elapsed from the begining of a current one
- when your start billing date is changed by admin.
Changing Billing Period
Your hosting plan may be configured to allow you to switch between billing periods of different length, price and discount policies. To change your billing period, go to Account - > Quick Access and click the Change icon next to Billing Period in the Statistics section. You will be taken to the page with a drop-down box that lists all the billing periods you can switch between.

Irish Setter
Irish Setter
Beloved for their rich mahogany silky coat and their excellence at bird hunting, the Irish Setter is truly an Irish beauty. Due to their friendliness and enthusiasm with visitors, they are one of the most common pets all over the world. Discover more about our Irish Setter puppies for sale below!
Breed History
Their history runs back to the 18th century in Ireland where they were developed to help farmers locate birds in the wild. Irish Setters were not always completely chestnut in color, the original Irish Setters had a mix of white coloring with red patches on their coats.
In the latter part of the 18th century, the Irish Setter was not predominantly red, they were born sporting different colors. However, the red dogs were the most popular.
Irish Setters are gundogs – dogs specially trained to assist in game hunting. They were traditionally employed to hunt because of their swiftness, their quick reactions and their keen sense of smell.
The Irish Setters are fun-loving animals. They are always lively, they greet visitors enthusiastically and are very friendly with children. The Irish Setter has a high sense of alertness.
They are usually very alert to their surroundings. It is easy to train this type of dog because of the high level of intelligence they display.
They can be too rambunctious with children. They can pose a threat to small animals in the home because they are a breed developed for hunting.
The Irish Setter thrives on the availability of human companions. Leaving them alone and void of human connection can make them hyperactive and destructive.
 Stated earlier, is the love Irish Setters have for their human owners and the constant to be around them. They would do well in an environment that lets them make occasional contact with human beings.
They love to run. A perfect environment for this breed is one that is fenced, which would allow them room to run as much as they want without the risk of wandering away from home.
However, it is inadvisable to keep this breed in an isolated place like a backyard all by itself as they can get destructive, bored and hyperactive over time.
The Irish Setter is an energetic dog. It loves to run around and initiate physical activities with owners or visitors alike. They require an hour of exercise daily.
Owners can achieve help them achieve this in different ways. As a hunting dog, it loves the wild, so owners can schedule jogs with it. Owners can also take bicycle rides and the Irish Setter would excitedly run after the bicycle.
The Irish Setter is not advised for people who spend long hours at work or people who don't live an active lifestyle. There are Another exciting way to get them exercised is Frisbee throwing.
Getting them to the pool and going for a dive is also great for their physical health. Hunting is a natural activity that they'd love to participate in.
Irish Setters have attractive coats that make them an easy spot in a sea of dogs. It is an important feature that sets it apart from other dogs in the world. They possess a coat that is not too long and aligns perfectly with the rest of their body.
Irish Setters are to be brushed often to keep the luster of the coat. They should be checked for debris after a fun time out. They usually don't need a bath for more than a few times in a year. To avoid getting his skin and coat parched, dog shampoo should be utilized.
Clean their ears weekly with a recommended cleanser and cotton ball, to prevent ear infections. Nails should be trimmed every month and their teeth should be brushed to prevent the buildup of bacteria in their denture.

Top Ten Frequently Asked Questions about the Irish Setter
Are Irish Setters unstable and hyperactive?
Irish Setters gained a reputation as 'hyper dogs' in the 1970s when they became popular. This reputation has people believing they are highly unstable. While they are quite energetic, they only become hyperactive and unstable if they are not being constantly exercised or if they are not well trained.
How much grooming do Irish Setters need?
Their long chestnut coat does require some care but a habit of brushing them daily is the minimum they need.
Are Irish Setters good guard dogs?
While they are highly sensitive to changes in their surroundings, they would only alert owners to the presence of a threat. They would however not be doing any attacking the intruders. They are more likely to find a place to hide or greet the stranger happily.
How often should Irish Setters be fed?
Irish Setters require feeding three times a day when they are less than six months old. When they are older, feeding could be reduced to twice a day.
Do Irish Setters shed a lot?
They don't shed easily even though they have a long coat.
Are Irish Setters good apartment pets?
Old Irish setters possess good house manners. Young ones are however not great for apartments because they need room to run.
What is Irish Setters life expectancy?
They usually live for about 12 years.
How tall do Irish Setters get?
Male Irish Setters can grow to about 67 cm while females grow to a height of 62 cm.
How big do Irish Setters get?
Adult males can grow to a size of 32 kg and females reach an optimum of 29kg.
What should Irish Setters be fed?
They prefer homemade food, i.e. Real food
The Irish Setter is a breed that is easy to care for. As a very athletic animal, it challenges owners into an active lifestyle.

Check whether two strings are isomorphic to each other in Python
In this article, we will learn how to check whether the given two strings are isomorphic to each other in Python. Two strings are isomorphic if there is one-to-one mapping possible for every character in string 1 to every character in string2.
Input: string1 = "aaabb"
 string2 = "xxxyy"
Output: True
Explanation: character a to character x and character b maps to character y.
Input: string1 = "aaabb"
 string2 = "zxcvb"
Output: False
Check whether two strings are isomorphic in Python
1. Firstly, check if the length of two strings is equal if not return False.
2. Create a list mark of size 256 to store mark the visited characters in string2, initialize its value to Fasleand a list map to store the mapping of every character from string1 to string 2, initialize its value to -1.
3. Now iterate the string1 from range 0 to length of string
 - Check if the current character of string1 appears for the first time in it.
 - If the current character of the string2 already appeared, then return False.
 - Else, mark the current character of string2 visited and store the mapping of the current character in the map list.
 - Now check if the current character in string1 has already appeared, then check if the previous appearance mapped to the same character of the string, if not return False.
def stringIsomorphic(string1, string2):
 m = len(string1)
 n = len(string2)
 if m!= n:
 return False
 mark = [False] * MAX_CHARS
 map = [-1] * MAX_CHARS
 for i in range(n):
 if map[ord(string1[i])] == -1:
 if mark[ord(string2[i])] == True:
 return False
 mark[ord(string2[i])] = True
 map[ord(string1[i])] = string2[i]
 elif map[ord(string1[i])]!= string2[i]:
 return False
 return True
string1 = input("Enter the string 1: ")
string2 = input("Enter the string 2: ")

METHODS: We examined 283 claims cases involving cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases that occurred between 1 January, 2006 and 31 December, 2007 and collected data based on the worker's compensation records from 3 Seoul Regional Centers of the Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service. We analyzed the approval rates and odds ratios according to the general characteristics, injury information, past medical histories, and work related information using chi-square or univariate logistic regression. In addition, we identified the factors affecting the approval using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: Overall, 101 of the 283 cases were approved and approval rate was 35.7%. Approval rates differed significantly according to type of disease, survival, accident site, accident time, the presence of associated disease and overwork (p-value <0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis with adjusted for age and sex, approval rate of death cases with associated disease was lower than cases without associated disease (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.12~0.42). Approval rate of cases occurred in worksite was higher than others (OR 4.81, 95% CI 2.22~10.40). Cases of accepted overwork had a higher approval rate significantly than cases of not accepted (OR 28.53, 95% CI 9.74~83.52). CONCLUSION: Factors in approving cases of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease as cases involving occupational disease included conditions of overwork, high rate of accidents in the workplace and the presence of associated disease. It is necessary to investigate further behaviors of work and chronic work-related stress.

Thermal Expansion and Contraction -Why It's Important
All modular trench drain systems on the market require a concrete encasement, therefore selecting a trench drain that will meet the wide assortments of conditions is critical to the performance and life span of a properly performing system. Unlike typical drainage pipe, which is buried; and at a relatively stable temperature, trench drain systems are at the surface and subject on a daily basis to wide temperature fluctuations.
ABT Inc's polymer concrete blend is specially formulated to handle the wide temperature fluctuations that are often associated with surface conditions during a daily and seasonal cycle.
HDPE has a lower modulus of elasticity and higher coefficient of thermal expansion than other trench drain materials. These properties cause HDPE trench drains to expand and contract much more from changes in temperature than other trench drain materials. Because of HDPE thermoplastic polymeric nature,its performance is significantly related to its operating temperature.
Because the thermal expansion coefficient of HDPE is approximately 10-15 times that of the steel and concrete it is surrounded by, when exposed to extreme temperature changes, HDPE will experience undesirable structural movements.
Thermal Load in a typical Civil Environment
Daily Temperature Variance in a 24 hr period
50°F to 90°F = 40°F Change
Seasonal Temperature variance in a 12 month period
20°F to 110°F = 90°F Change

A voice signal sample is stored as one byte. Frequency range is 16 Hz to 20 Hz. What is the memory size required to store 4 minutes voice signal?
This question is related to Cisco Interview

its 9600 bytes. as the voice frequency irange is in between 16-20,so sampling frequency must be grater than 40hz,so number of samples in 4min=40*240=9600 samples hemce we need a memory of 9600 bytes to store the voice signal
 - Aug 22nd, 2005
Its just 1440 bytes. Bandpass sampling frequency is just 6Hz. so just 6*240 bytes.

since the signal is in the band 16-20 HZ. bandwidth is 4HZ and so 8HZ sampling rate enough..i.e 8 s/sec. 4min=240sec.
4min duration has 8*240 samples
and each sample has 8 bits,so min required memory is 8*8*240=1920 bytes

It's 1920Bytes. As the bandwidth (f2-f1) is 20-16=4Hz. The sampling frequency should be twice the bandwidth (2B). the sampling frequency is 8Hz= 8 samples= 8 cycles/second.
4 minutes=(4*60) =240 Seconds
1sample->1 Byte
1Second->8 Samples
240 Seconds->(240*8) = 1920 Samples

Two things i wish to point here.
1) They have said that they are representing each sample by 8 bits. which implies that the sampling frequency is quite high. and that for one cycle of the minimum freq we get 256 samples.
2) Regarding the criterion that the sampling frequency should be twice of the bandwidth. this is applicable only when we are dealing with base band signal. whereas here it is pass band (since 16 to 20 is significant in our case).
So the sampling frequency should be quite high considering the two facts.
 Was this answer useful? Yes
 - Jul 12th, 2007
Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem states that perfect reconstruction of a signal is possible when the sampling frequency is greater than twice the maximum frequency of the signal being sampled...so imagine sampling a 16Hz signal with 8hz...there's gonna be a sample every 2 cycles!..it has to be 40
 Was this answer useful? Yes

Voice sample = 8 bit
Smaple frequency = 1/20 s = 0.05s
for 4 minutes = 4*60(minto sec)/0.05 = 4800 sample
s0 total memory = 8 * 4800 = 38400 bits = 4800 Bytes = 4.69 KB

banwidth of signal=4Hz
according to niquist theorem sampling frequency>=2*bandwidth
so sampling freq=2*4Hz(8 samples /sec)
1 samples is stored as 1 byte
so 8*8 bits/sec
so for 4 mins bits are = (4*60)*(64)=15KB
so asn is 15 KB.

Voice signal is sampled at 8000 samples per second. (Human voice is in the range of 300Hz-3400Hz, and according to nyquist sampling rate we take it more than double the rate).

text: Electrocardiograms (ECG) and laboratory data were studied in 130 neurosurgical patients before and after neurosurgery. The following results were obtained: 1. The postoperative ECG showed ST-T changes in 21 % of the cases with subarachnoid hemorrhage, 15 % with cerebral tumor, 37.5 % with supracellar tumor and 50 % with Parkinson syndrome. 2. In 50 % of subarachnoid hemorrhage and 47 % of cerebral tumor, postoperative ECG deteriorated within 1 week. After 2 weeks such deterioration was observed in only 37 % in the former cases and 43 % in the latter. 3. Postoperative ECGs were improved or unchanged in 83 % cases of cerebral bleeding, 75 % (within 1 week) and 83 % (after 2 weeks) of intracerebral bleeding, and in all of Parkinson syndrome. However, in the cases of supra-cellar tumor, postoperative ECGs deteriorated 100 % within 1 week and 75 % after 2 weeks. 4. Serum K(+) and Ca(++) were decreased significantly in the group with deteriorated postoperative ECGs. The R. B. C., Hb and Ht were decreased regardless of postoperative ECGs. 5. Postoperative ECGs deteriorated when the operation time lasted longer than 6 h or blood loss during the operation was over 1,000 ml.

The gentle grasping and manipulation of objects in dense un-structured environments, such as the agricultural, food processing, or home environments constitute a formidable challenge for robotic systems. Knowledge regarding wrist poses (wrist positions and orientations) that may lead to successful grasps is especially important in such environments for both gripper design and online grasp planning. Graspability maps store grasp quality grades at different wrist poses in object-centered coordinates. Previously graspability maps were derived based on object models in a lengthy, offline process and thus had limited usability. We have developed geometry-based grasp quality measures related to classical grasp quality measures, which can be determined directly from a 3D point cloud. This facilitates embedding agent perception capabilities within the grasp quality determination. Additionally by scanning the object's surface for finger contact points rather than scanning the volume of the bounding box about the object, and by using parallel computation, graspability map computation-time is considerably reduced, facilitating online computation of multiple measures. We validate the developed measures in a physical environment, show that computation-time can be reduced by more than 90% with very low reduction in map quality, and show the applicability of the developed methods for both simple and complex objects.

Definition of Craniocleidodysostosis
Craniocleidodysostosis: A genetic (inherited) disorder of bone development characterized by:
- Typical cranial and facial abnormalities with square skull, late closure of the sutures of the skull, late closure of the fontanels (the soft spots), low nasal bridge, delayed eruption of the teeth, abnormal permanent teeth, etc.
- Absent or incompletely formed collar bones (the "cleido-" part refers to the clavicles, the collar bones) The child with this disorder can bring its shoulders together or nearly so.
The disorder is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner. A parent with the condition has a 50:50 chance that each of their children will have the condition. Boys and girls stand an equal chance of being affected. The gene for the condition has been found on chromosome 6 (specifically, in band p21). The gene is for the transcription factor CBFA1 (core-binding factor alpha subunit 1). Mutations of CBFA1 cause this disorder.
A possible example of this disorder has been found in the skull of a Neanderthal man. (The patient could not be interviewed as to family history).Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

- This paper takes a financial market perspective in examining the relationship between oil prices, the US dollar and asset prices, and it exploits the heteroskedasticity for the identification of causality in a multifactor model. It finds a bidirectional causality between the US dollar and oil prices since the early 2000s. Moreover, both oil prices and the US dollar are significantly affected by changes in equity market returns and risk. By contrast, oil prices did not react to changes in these financial assets before 2001. The paper provides evidence that this may be explained by the increased use of oil as a financial asset over the past decade, which intensified the link between oil and other assets. The model can account well for the strong and rising negative correlation between oil prices and the US dollar since the early 2000s, with risk shocks and the financialisation process of oil prices explaining most of the strengthening of this correlation.

Nazis Tried To Train Dogs To Read, Write, And Speak, New Jan Bondeson Book Says
First Posted: 05/25/2011 5:31 pm Updated: 04/17/2012 11:32 am
Hitler may be on the short list of despicable dictators most undeserving of a dog's unconditional love, but that didn't stop him from trying to talk them.
According to a new book titled "Amazing Dogs: A Cabinet of Canine Curiosities," Nazi specialists attempted -- apparently with some success -- to train a fleet of "intelligent" dogs to read, write and speak.
"The Nazis were sentimental enthusiasts who were really fond of animals and liked the idea that dogs were intelligent and could communicate with people," Bondeson told AOL Weird news.
According to Bondeson, Hitler and the Germans seem to have had hopes that the superior dogs would eventually communicate with their SS masters and act as the ultimate guard dogs.
Considering their record on human rights, the Nazi's actually had notoriously strong feelings about animal rights.
Hitler was widely recognized as a dog lover and owned two German Shepherds, named Blondi and Bella. The dictator famously killed Blondi before taking his own life in 1945.
Bondeson says that some Nazis even wrote letters to local authorities about the pets that were being left behind when the military began forcing Jews into concentration camps.
"When the Jews were deported from certain German cities, nobody bothered about them, they said 'good riddance,'" Bondeson explains. "But as for their pets, people thought, 'Well, they can't bring those with them to the concentration camps, surely we must do something.'"
"It's a completely forgotten aspect: A good Nazi was a friend to animals."


Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a significant energy consumer, yet there are several opportunities of implementing on-site power generation systems. Within the treatment process, the high flow rate of effluent is produced and discharged to a nearby water body by gravity. Thus, hydro turbines can be utilized to generate power in such application due to a difference in elevation and high flow rate. This paper presents a case study of introducing a hydro turbine in wastewater treatment plant in Wisconsin and evaluating the power output in addition to determining the energy savings. The wastewater treatment plant considered in this study has an effluent flow rate of 190 MGD (million gallons per day) and elevation difference of 3 meters (10 feet) between the final stage of treatment and the discharge point. Based on the aforementioned parameters; hubless rim-drive Kaplan type hydro turbine (RDT) is the optimal choice to be used in such application. The RDT is designed and optimized by using in-house code. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software is applied to evaluate the performance of the proposed model, and the system is simulated through HOMER software to validate the results generated by the CFD. The expected savings is estimated to be 1,564 MWh/year.

How to Make Christmas Tree Decorations That Look Like a Fish Tank
Christmas tree decorations are pretty much a common sight these days, especially for kids, but they're even more popular when it comes to the decorations for cars and boats.
A lot of car and boat decorating ideas are inspired by the Christmas decorations of the 1920s, which are based on traditional carousels and boats from the era.
The designs are based off of the traditional carousel, which were used in the carousel business.
Cars and boats are often used as decorations to show off holiday or seasonal items, but it's the decorations that are often decorated in a way that makes them look like a fish tank.
These Christmas decorations are a great way to decorate your car or boat without spending a fortune on expensive decorating materials.
To make the decorations look like fish tanks, the decoration needs to be decorated with fish or fish-shaped objects, like beads or balloons.
To decorate the decorations, use the following materials: Carousel Beads or Balls: This can be a simple bead or balloon with a bow.
This can make the decorating more festive.
For a more elaborate and elaborate decoration, you can use more colorful beads or balloon decorations.
For beads, you'll need some small beads or the like.
Make sure you buy some larger beads for a more intricate decorating effect.
The beads can be made from any material that you can find.
For some beads, it's a good idea to buy a whole boat and attach it to the boat with beads.
For more elaborate decorations, you might want to use the beads on your boat, which will make it look like the boat is holding fish in it.
For larger beads, such as the one pictured above, you should buy a larger boat and glue it to it with a small piece of wood.
A good idea is to buy beads from a local craft store.
Beaded Cars: Bead cars are a good way to make a boat look like an aquarium.
Bedding that is made from beads or other shapes is often used in carousel designs.
To put these beads on the caroulet, you would need to make the caro and the carom a part of the design.
Boodles or Bead Bands: Boodle-shaped ornaments can be used to decorat the car or carousel.
You can buy beads or beads to decorating the car of your choice.
Biodome Bead: Biodomes are made from wood or other materials that are placed on a wall and filled with various items.
These items can be placed around the outside of the dome or inside the dome.
For example, beads are often placed around a bowl or an ornament.
To use beads for the car, you'd need to glue the beads to the outside with glue.
For smaller beads, a few beads are also necessary.
To add the beads, make them from a material that is suitable for placing on the wall.
For the bigger beads, glue them to the inside of the bead.
Banners and Decorating Banners: Decorated with decorations is the best way to add a festive touch to your carousel or caro.
The decorations can be as simple as a big bow or a big fish.
For decorations, it can be even more elaborate.
To do this, you could make the decoration from a boat, a fish, or even a carousel carousel that is decorated with beads or balls.
This is one of the best ways to decorator your caroulets and boats and it's fun to watch as you decorate them.
This way, you get to see your decorations in action and you can admire your decorating creations!
To decorates your car and caro with beads, be sure to buy some large beads.
Some of these beads can even be used as the beads.
Bamboo: This bamboo is a bamboo material used in boats and boats of various shapes.
The bamboo is used in making boats and cars for decoration.
A few of the bamboo carouches are decorated with small beads and decorations.
Balsa wood: Balsa is also a good choice to decor the car and boats in your car.
Balsam is a tropical wood that is a great material for making carouets and boats that can be decorated to resemble boats.
Bonsai: Bonsais are bamboo trees that can grow to about two feet tall and about eight feet long.
They are often found growing on the edges of houses.
Bias trees are also a popular choice for decorating carouchettes and boats, as they are often made of bamboo.
Bismuth: Bismoth is another tropical wood.
Bisma is a native tree that is commonly found growing in tropical regions.
Bishops: Bishop trees are trees that are native to Asia, but also grow in parts of the world.
These trees can grow up to six feet tall. The b

Under a deregulated environment, ancillary services (AS) are defined as the set of products separated from the energy production, which are related to security and reliability of a power system. Ancillary services can be classified in: (a) active power ancillary services (load–frequency control (LFC)—including primary control, automatic generation control (AGC), tertiary control, balancing service and black start provision) and (b) reactive power ancillary services (voltage control). The system operator is the entity responsible for the secure operation of the power system and in this way, the management of all the AS is considered a specific function of the system operator. Under a deregulated framework, ancillary services are separated from the energy production, and can be mandatory or remunerated under market-driven mechanisms. This paper overviews the management of ancillary services in the Spanish power system, including a detailed technical description of the services and the organization of the ancillary services markets. In addition, a comprehensive review of different optimization algorithms and tools used by the agents and system operator within the Spanish electricity business is presented.

William Trent House Museum
William Trent built his country estate north of Philadelphia, in New Jersey, at the Falls of the Delaware River about 1719. It was a large, imposing brick structure, built in the newest fashion. An "allee" of English cherry trees led from the entrance down to the ferry landing. Nearby, there were numerous outbuildings as well as grist, saw and fulling mills along the Assunpink Creek. In 1720 Trent laid out a settlement, which he incorporated and named "Trenton." Through careful preservation and accurate historical interpretation, visitors will become aware of the importance of this building in national, state and municipal history. An ambitious restoration project is nearly complete and will provide a more accurate historical representation of the museum's original appearance.

Head construction: problem solved!
If you studied head construction by Andrew Loomis you'll understand the issue I'm talking about in this post.
On page 21 of Drawing the Heads and the Hands Loomis describes his method of constructing a head using analogy with a ball and a nail. It looks very simple and easy to understand...until you actually start constructing a head yourself.
My problem was with the "ear" line. I could not figure it out.I gave up and moved on.
A few days ago, I was reading a ConceptArt forum and came across the post called "How to correctly establish ellipses using Loomis head construction?" Needless to say how happy I was to discover that someone had asked my question. But the real treasure was ahead. There was that JohnB who shared his method of establishing ellipses. It was answer to my prayers! Thank you, JohnB!!!
Here is a link to the entire post: click here
JohnB has his own blog, interesting and very informative.
And this is John's tutorial I recreated:
1. Draw a cicle and mark the center (A)
2. Think about position of the face: is it looking up or down? turned to the left or right? Add a point (B) to where a "brow" cross will be
3. Connect A and B
4. Draw a brow line as per step 2
5. Add a line running through the center that is parallel to brow line
6. Add tick marks perpendicular to the line in step 5
7. Draw ellipse that starts and ends at tick marks you did in step 6 and passes brow point (B)
8. Draw a middle line (face line) that is tangent to the ellipse you just drew. This line determines the tilt of the face plane. This line and line you drew in step 4 are what Loomis calls "the all-important cross on the ball".
9. Draw a line that is parallel to the middle line from step 8. This is what Loomis refers to as a nail in the ball
10. Add tick marks that are perpendicular to the "nail" line
11. Draw ellipse that connects tick marks and goes through the brow point. This is a brow line.
12. Add tick marks that are perpendicular to AB line
13. Draw ellipse that connects the tick marks. This is "ear" line.

I like your addition of Loomis's "nail" in the top of the head.
I wanted to point out that the last ellipse goes through a point at the bottom and at the ear. It goes through a point at the ear, where the line DA intersects the "brow line" (the second ellipse you've drawn).
It also goes through a point at the bottom of the head, where the line AE intersects the "middle line" (the first ellipse you've drawn).
The heads-with-features that you've drawn look great!

thank you, John! You're absolutely right - now i can see mistakes myself. Corrected and reposted the image. Still so much to learn :-)
Michaela said...
This may be an old article, but I THANK YOU SO MUCH. I kind of went nuts as I was trying to understand what Andrew has ment. But I always got stuck with the earline... I was looking for an explanation on conceptart, but unfortunately the forums is down since yesterday so I was kinda alone with this question! But now I know!!! Thank youuu! :*

Intro: Styrofoam Plate Speaker
This instructable will teach you how to make a speaker out of a styrofoam plate!!! This speaker can play an audible sound.
Step 1: Gather Materials
Materials you will need for this project:
Piece of paper
Tape (any type)
30-32 gauge wire
Neodymium magnets (at least 6)
Hot Glue Gun
2 Alligator clips
Piece of cardboard that is bigger than the styrofoam plate
Headphone wire with plug to connect to playing device
Step 2: Cut Paper
Use scissors to cut piece of paper to a height that is higher than the magnets.
Step 3: Wrap Magnet With Paper
After cutting paper, roll it around magnet and secure it with piece of tape.
Step 4: Glue Paper to Center of Plate
On the back of the plate, glue the piece of paper to the center using hot glue gun.
Step 5: Begin Wrapping Wire Around Paper
Using 30-32 gauge wire, wrap it around the piece of paper glued to the plate. Continue wrapping it until the majority of the piece of rolled paper is covered in wire. Once wrapped, cut the wire and secure it with piece of tape.
It helps to start wrapping the wire from the bottom and go up.
Step 6: Sand Ends of Wire
Considering the wire is painted, you need to sand the end of the wire down until the ends are copper. With the paint on the charge will not connect.
(You might have to repeat this step for the headphone wire)
Step 7: Connect Alligator Clips to Wire
Connect an alligator clip to both ends of wire and attach the other end of the alligator clips to the plug-in wire ends.
Step 8: Place Magnet on Cardboard
Place the magnet in the middle of the piece of cardboard. Feel free to glue it down to the cardboard.
Step 9: Connect Plate to Magnet
Put the magnet inside of the wired piece of paper so everything is attached.
Step 10: Secure Plate to Cardboard
Tape the paper plate to the cardboard so it is more balanced.

The Greeks of Kazakhstan are mainly the descendants of Pontic Greek who were deported there by Joseph Stalin, from southern Russia and the Caucasus region, at first the Crimean Greeks on 1944, under the resolution 5984 of June 2, 1944. then the Caucasus (Greeks in Georgia and Greeks in Armenia, Greeks in Azerbaijan) Greeks on June 1949, Feb 1950, Aug 1950. The total number of deported persons was about 60,000 people.
Nowadays there are between 10 and 12 thousand ethnic Greeks living in Kazakhstan in 17 communities, which together with the Kyrgyzstan community make up the FILIA (friendship in Greek) Federation of Greek Communities of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The Federation prints a small newspaper, organizes dance events, and offers Greek language and dance classes. At the moment in Kazakhstan there are 6 ethnic Greek teachers funded by the General Secretariat of Greeks Abroad. Furthermore, Greek is taught by two teachers seconded from Greece.

European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register – Update – 2010 data now available
The European Commission and the European Environment Agency today published updated information on releases and transfers of pollutants from industrial installations included in the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR). E-PRTR is a comprehensive online register which contains information on emissions of pollutants to air, water and land by industrial facilities in 32 European countries. The register includes annual data for 91 substances released from more than 29 870 facilities in 65 economic activities. E-PRTR also provides additional environmental information, such as the amount and types of waste transferred from facilities to waste handlers both inside and outside each country, and maps of certain non-industrial sources of emissions. The new dataset contains information for the year 2010 and updated information for certain countries for the earlier years 2007 – 2009. The full dataset of E-PRTR is hosted by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in its Data Service.
Over the coming months, EEA will perform a number of quality checks on these data received from countries. An updated dataset will be published in October 2012 after corrections are received from countries.


How to Do Tombstone Rubbings
by Richard Lupu
with notes by Joel GAzis-SAx
I am really just an amateur, but I have found that rubbings are a beautiful form of art. It is a fairly easy and inexpensive hobby that is a wonderful way to learn about history. There are some basic rules you should follow and some tools you need to get started.
If you plan on doing rubbings of your family or relatives then some of these wont apply. I like to rub very old tombstones. They have a certain charm about them.
 1. Many cemeteries are private property. Be sure and ask before you start rubbing tombstones. Trespassing fines are not cheap. Many do not understand what rubbing is or have ever heard of it.
 2. Treat each tombstone as if it were your own mother's. Somebody loves these people and old tombstones can be delicate.
 3. Make sure and clean off all marks accidently left on tombstones. Leave the cemetery cleaner than when you got there.
 4. If it is a private cemetery or a municipal cemetery, don't rub at night. Your actions will most certainly be mistaken by local law officials. You would think this would not have to be mentioned but a friend of mine wanted to get some rubbings done when he got off of work one night. Bail is not cheap either.
 1. A soft brush. The kind you might use to polish your shoes work well. A tooth brush is also a good thing to bring.
 2. Paper, White or rice paper works best. I like rice paper. It has a really nice feel to it and can be surprisingly strong.¹
 3. Black or gray chalk. I like chalk, it can be messy but if you're careful it makes a very nice texture. Flat black crayons and rubbing wax are the most common, but I still like chalk.²
 4. Scissors or exacto knife.
 5. Masking tape or painters tape
 6. Small spray bottle and a soft absorbent rag.
 7. If you use chalk you will need Chalk spray. Krylon makes the best.³
Once you have found a nice tombstone you need to make sure it is clean. Use the soft brush and remove dirt and debris from the surface. Be gentle, and respectful, if the it looks as if you might scratch the tombstone then move on.
After you get most of the dirt off spray it with the bottle and then wipe with the rag. Let the tombstone become perfectly dry before you go on. Cut the paper larger than the tombstone itself and wrap tightly aroundthe stone. Tape it very securely so that it doesn't move, if the paper moves when you start rubbing you will probably have to start over.
Start rubbing on the outside edges and make yourself a frame of sorts. You don't need to rub real hard, you can always make it darker by going back over it but you can never make it lighter. You should start to see the patterns emerging at this point.
Once you have the darkness down to you liking carefully spray the paper down with the Chalk spray. Be careful not to get any on the tombstone. When it is dry you can remove it and trim it in the shape of the stone or leave a border around it. This is all there is to it. Practice with it and develop your own style.
I live in Texas and have found a couple of old cemeteries that are all but abandoned. The dates on a lot of these date back to the late 1800's. If you also live in Texas, E-mail me ( and I will give you directions.
Remember the respect you show now will ensure that tombstone rubbing will always be looked at as a way to preserve history and not as vandalism.
Caretaker's Notes
¹Rice paper was recommended by nearly all the Caretaker's advisors on this page. Butcher paper was mentioned as a cheaper substitute. I had a bad experience with a grainy drawing paper. Smooth surfaces work much better than grainy ones, though you may decide otherwise.
²In my experience, chalk was a bit messy. Other contributors suggested using charcoal. You can also use ink if you follow the method used in China for making stone rubbings.
³There's an alternative to Krylon and that is hairspray -- "the cheapest you can find" as one advisor put it.

The Caretaker also wishes to thank Lydia Thompson, Carolanne Szoke, and other contributors to alt.society.funerary for their tips.
Do you have samples of your own rubbings? Send me a gif or jpg.
I will display your best work.

DIY mosquito repellant
Found a handy cheap mosquito trap online.
 - Yeast packet
 - 2L soda bottle
 - Black paper (or duct tape in my case)
 - Water
 - Sugar
 1. Dissolve sugar in water on stove
 2. Once water is cool enough that you can bear to hold your finger I, add yeast and stir ( yeast can withstand temperatures about like we can).
 3. Cut the top of he bottle off, where it becomes the same diameter as the main body of the bottle.
 4. Invert the top onto the bottle and tape the seam shut.
 5. Apply tape or black paper to he bottle to make it dark inside.
 6. Pour yeasty sugar water in and place in a dry cool area near where one doesn't want Mosquitos.
Theory: Yeast eats sugar and poops alcohol and carbon dioxide. This is how beer gets alcohol and CARBONation. In wine, the carbonation (carbon dioxide) is allowed to escape. In making bread, the alcohol evaporates and he carbon dioxide is what makes air pockets in the bread, making it rise. Mosquitos find mammals by their carbon dioxide at up to 100 ft, then by heat and movement. So mosquitoes will fly into the trap looking for a mammal. I would suggest having the trap near but not too close to the area of concern, for I'm pretty sure a human will still be more enticing than the trap, as we give off heat and other chemical signatures they might pick up on.

4 Signs You Need a New Dryer Blower Wheel
A white drying machine.
 - 1 hours
 - Intermediate
 - 45
What You'll Need
Blower Fan
The blower fan is a vital component in your clothes dryer. In a gas dryer, this component consists of a drum-shaped fan that is connected to the motor by an axle. In an electric dryer, it is usually a plastic wheel that draws air over the heating element into the dryer drum. The wheel works in synchrony with the motor and creates a powerful air current. It draws air from outside the machine and circulates the air inside the drum to dry clothes. It then expels the air outside the machine through an exhaust vent. Whether yours is a gas or electric dryer, a bad blower wheel needs to be replaced. Below are 4 signs that indicate it's time to replace this component.
1. High Pitched Noise
You may hear a loud squealing or high-pitched noise from your dryer when you run it. In most cases, this can be traced to a faulty blower wheel. The blades of the wheel may become bent with time. They could also develop cracks or wear out at certain points. A faulty wheel strains as it spins which can cause high pitched noises to emanate from your dryer.
2. Loud Vibrations
A laundry room with a dryer.
Your dryer may vibrate loudly soon after the drum begins to move or right after it stops moving. It may even sound like there's a pair of shoes inside the dryer. Sometimes the machine may also rumble when in operation. A likely cause of this noise is a worn out or damaged blower wheel. A damaged wheel spins out of sync with the motor. This may cause the dryer to rumble as it runs. However, sometimes the wheel may just be clogged with lint which can also cause noise when you run the dryer. Remove all dirt from the wheel and test it to see if the dryer is still noisy. If the noise persists, you'll have to replace the wheel.
3. Dryer Doesn't Dry Clothes Properly
An open dryer door.
Perhaps your dryer fails to dry clothes completely. You may feel some wet or damp areas when you remove your clothes from the dryer. This is usually traced to a damaged blower wheel. If the wheel is damaged or worn out, it is likely to create poor airflow within the dryer drum. The wheel will be unable to efficiently expel air and moisture from within the drum into the exhaust vent. This means that even when you set the dryer to run for a full cycle, your clothes will not dry completely. This calls for a wheel replacement.
4. Several Cycles Necessary to Dry a Load
This may be caused by poor or slow airflow through the dryer. Poor airflow is usually caused by a worn-out wheel. Most blower wheels have a D-shaped hole in the center. With time, this hole gets stripped out. This loosens the tension of the wheel as it spins on its axle. The wheel spins out of sync with the motor which causes poor airflow through the dryer. Poor airflow lowers the efficiency of the dryer.
If any of these issues are happening with your dryer, it may be time for a new blower wheel.

The philosophy of the group Partners in Education is the sooner the better.
It's never too early to encourage your kids to pursue a college education.
On Saturday what was called a "College Coach" workshop was held at the University of Toledo and sponsored by Partners in Education.
100 Toledo Public School students in grades five through seven, their parents and educators attended.
The message is that if parents wait until high school to discuss college aspirations with their kids, it may be too late.
By starting young, you instill good study habits and promote career goals.
"The parents are going to make sure their kids get to school, do homework and ask questions, helping expose them to different careers. Our program helps them do that," said Becky Spencer of Partners in Education.
It wouldn't be a "College Coach" workshop if the kids didn't hear from a real coach.
UT Womens Basketball coach Tricia Cullop gave them some inspirational advice.
"You can never start too late. We start recruiting young, even in basketball. But for their education, it starts now. As young as they are, you can never wait another day to start investing," she says.
One mother at the workshop, Tomara Carter, says she is already investing in the future of her four kids.
"It's a good experience for them to learn a lot. They can also follow behind me. I'm a college graduate," said Ms. Carter.
Her son Elijah has plans.
"I want to be a police officer," said Elijah.
"I want to be a teacher because I'm smart and get straight A's," added his sister, Takayla.
Two kids who sound like they're headed "straight" to college.

Joseph Rogers Underwood (October 24, 1791 - August 23, 1876) was a United States Representative and Senator from Kentucky.
Joseph Underwood was born in Goochland County, Virginia, the brother of Warner Lewis Underwood. He moved to Barren County, Kentucky in 1803 and lived with his uncle. He attended the common schools and graduated from Transylvania College in Lexington, Kentucky in 1811. He studied law in Lexington, but his studies were interrupted by the War of 1812, in which he served as a Lieutenant in the Thirteenth Regiment of the Kentucky Infantry. He was admitted to the bar in 1813 and commenced the practice of law in Glasgow, Kentucky.
Underwood served as town trustee and county auditor until 1823. He was a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1816 to 1819. He moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1823, and again was a member of the State House of Representatives from 1825 to 1826. He ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor of Kentucky in 1828, and served as a judge of the Court of Appeals from 1828 until 1835.
Underwood was elected as a Whig to the United States House of Representatives, serving Kentucky's District 3 from March 4, 1835 until March 3, 1843. There he was chairman of the U.S. House Committee on the District of Columbia. He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1843, and resumed the practice of law. He was a presidential elector on the Whig ticket in 1844, and again joined the State House in 1846, where he served as speaker.
Underwood was next elected as a Whig to the United States Senate and served from March 4, 1847 to March 3, 1853, when he did not run for reelection. He was elected to the State House yet again, serving from 1861 to 1863. He died near Bowling Green and was interred in Fairview Cemetery. Joseph Underwood was the grandfather of Oscar Wilder Underwood.

Let $A$ be an algebra, say over $\mathbb{C}$ and finite-dimensional, but not necessary semisimple. I have the strong feeling, which I would like to prove and use, about the following rather natural approach.
Consider the set $S$ of central idempotents in $A$, then I want to turn the set of central idempotents $\Delta$ into an abstract simplicial complex. Two idempotents $e_1,e_2$ are connected iff $e_1\in e_2A$, simplices consist of completely connected subset and and the highest-dimensional simplices hence are flags associated to a decomposition of $A$ into central primitive idempotents. This is much how one defines buildings as simplicial complexes e.g. of subspaces of a finite vector space....
Is this OK? I'm not familiar with calculating with central prinimtive idempotents - especially I'm concerned, if any decomposistion into central primitive idempotents has the same cardinality??
..if yes,it seems so natural, something similar ought to exist (surely more advanced ;-) - any reference? I would probably also suffice with a related construction and/or I want to find out more established facts about such an "algebraic simplicial complex / building"...Thanks for your help in advance.

The central idempototents of a finite dimensional algebra form a finite Boolean algebra with 1 as the max and the central primitive idempotents as the atoms. The decomposition of 1 into central idempotents is thus unique. So the central idempotents are the face lattice of a simplex. The order is $e\leq f$ if $e\in fA$. Your simplicial complex would be the order complex of this Boolean algebra and so would be the barycentric subdivision of a simplex.
Added details. The boolean algebra operations are given by $e\wedge f=ef$, $e\vee f=e+f-ef$ and $\neg e=1-e$. The finiteness follows, for example, because one can look at the regular representation of the algebra $A$ by matrices and observe that the central idempotents form a commutative semigroup of idempotent matrices. Such a semigroup is simultaneously diagonalizable and there are only $2^n$ diagonal idempotent $n\times n$ matrices.

GREAT, THANX, THAT HELPS! I've looked up "order complexes" and these indeed nice :-)...well, I didn't even fully "believe" I could just on/off central primitive idempotents, but embedding them into matrix rings certainly boosted my intuition (shame!) What is the argument/theory that descibes the complex then as a subdevided simplex? – Simon Lentner Apr 15 '12 at 16:51
If F is the face poset of a simplicial complex, then it is straightforward to verify the order complex of F is the barycentric subdivision. A vertex of the order complex is an element f of F which corresponds to the barycenter of f. It is easy to check under this correspondence chains are simplices of the barycentric subdivision. Try it out on a 2-simplex. – Benjamin Steinberg Apr 15 '12 at 23:19

alm OS-based handhelds and smartphones are powerful, pervasive computing devices that have changed the lives of many users through the applications they house. As a Java developer, why not tap into this widely used platform? You can develop applications for Palm and this article shows you how. Learn how to create a small Java application (more specifically, a MIDlet) and deploy it to an emulated Palm device. The instructions assume that you are familiar with MIDlet programming.
To create a J2ME application for the Palm OS, you need to convert your MIDlet to a PRC (Pilot Resource Code). This article first walks you through the creation of a simple MIDlet and then onto the MIDlet-to-PRC conversion.
Set Up Your Palm OS Emulator
Before you begin programming, set up an environment that emulates the Palm-powered handheld. Download
the PalmOS Emulator, Palm OS Emulator Skins, and the ROM images. In order to download these, you need to join the Palm OS Developer Program (a free process). The Palm OS Emulator is available for Windows, MacOS, and Unix. The emulator download includes a PDF document "Using Palm OS Emulator" that breaks down how to install and use the Palm OS emulator.
To get started, unzip the emulator and ROM zip files into a directory of your choice. Unzip the skins file to a subdirectory called Skins under the directory you created and then run Emulator.exe. Next, choose the option to start a new emulator session, as shown in Figure 1.
|Figure 1: Starting a New Emulator Session|
In the subsequent New Session screen (see Figure 2), use the GUI to point to the ROM file that you extracted.
|Figure 2: Pointing the Session to a ROM File|
After pointing to the ROM file, you will see which devices are supported under the ROM file (see Figure 3). Also, pick a Skin that you would like to use. I chose the Standard-English Skin as shown in Figure 3. Next, click OK.
|Figure 3: Specifying More Options for Your Emulator Session|
At this point, you should see the emulator running as shown in Figure 4.
The emulator you see runs Palm OS. To run Java programs, a Palm device (emulated or the real thing) needs to have a J2ME application runtime environment installed. You will install one next. Keep the Palm emulator running for now.

In Windows 10 build 18298, are a number of changes were made to the built-in console subsystem of the operating system. There is a new "terminal" tab in console option that allows adjusting several new options for the Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. One of them is the ability to change the cursor shape.
Windows Console subsystem is utilized by certain built-in apps of Windows 10, including the Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. In Windows 10 Build 18298, which represents the upcoming version 19H1, also known as version 1903, you will find a set of experimental options of the console.
These settings are "experimental", because in certain scenarios, it's possible that they might not behave like you would expect them to, may not make it into the next OS release, and may change completely in the final version of the OS.
One of the is the shape of the cursor. It will be set for the specific shortcut you used to open a console instance. E.g. if you have multiple command prompt shortcuts, you can set the desired cursor shape for each of them individually. This way, PowerShell, WSL, and the command prompt may have their own independent settings.
Console Cursor Shapes
At the moment of this writing, Windows supports the following cursor shapes for the console.
Legacy Style - this one is the classic console cursor.
Here is how to switch between them.
To change the cursor shape in the console in Windows 10,
- Open a new command prompt window, elevated command prompt, PowerShell, or WSL.
- Right-click on the title bar of its window and select Properties from the context menu.
- Switch to the Terminal tab.
- Under Cursor Shape, set the desired cursor shape.
You are done!
Tip: With Windows 10, Microsoft added an ability to have a semi-transparent console window for cmd.exe, and PowerShell. It's a lesser known feature that you can change the transparency level on the fly for the current window with hotkeys. See

Callback Handling for Asynchronous Calls
Marketing Cloud recommends using an HTTPPost callback to return the results of asynchronous API requests, rather than receiving the results in an email.
To secure your public callback URL:
- Submit the HTTPPost using HTTPS.
- Allowlist Marketing Cloud IP addresses.
Retrieve the call's status using one of these actions:
- Set the asynchronous calls to return an HTTP POST or email message after processing.
- Perform a retrieve on the ResultMessage object and filter by the ResultID of the original request.
To use an HTTPPost callback to return the results of asynchronous API requests, set
HTTPPost and specify a publicly accessible URL for
SendResponseTo.ResponseAddress. The callback URL receives a standard HTTPPost request with the
application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type and these fields:
Unlike synchronous API calls, all successful asynchronous calls return a status of OK. This status indicates that the API received the call and it was queued. The callback does not indicate whether the call executed or failed or include unnecessary fields. For example, StatusMessage or ErrorCode values aren't included for successful calls.
If an HTTPPost throws an exception, the system logs an error and stops the process. The system does not retry the call.
The callbacks you receive correspond to the number of calls you make. If you send 500 async SOAP calls, the callback URL is called 500 times. To receive fewer callbacks, you have a few options:
- Send multiple objects in a single call.
- To get a callback only if an error occurs, modify the RespondWhen setting to be RespondWhen.OnError.
- To capture only successful callbacks, perform a retrieve on the ResultItem and ResultMessage objects, and return only the RequestID and OverallStatusCode.


Why the World Needs a More Healthy Gourmet Food Guide
Gourmet food is becoming increasingly popular.
With its variety and variety of ingredients, from fresh fruit and vegetables to seafood and meat, it's become a staple in most of the world's countries.
But what is it about a meal that can make it so special?
The answer is food and its combination of ingredients.
We all know how delicious a steak tastes when it's done properly, but it's not just a matter of taste alone.
The cooking process also plays a big role in the overall taste of a meal.
Food is the key to flavor, but not all foods have the same taste.
To find out what foods taste best together, we decided to go grocery shopping for some delicious options.
What makes a good burger?
The burger we ate was made from a local beef, which means it was sourced from a family-owned business, which is important for us to know because many burgers come from other family farms.
The quality of the meat is also important because it makes a difference in how a burger tastes.
Our burgers were served with a salad that was made by the local farmers market.
At the same time, the meat was grilled, and it also had a salad.
The quality of each item mattered too.
What we ended up with was a delicious burger, that was rich and flavorful, and was good enough to share with our friends and family.
So, how does a good gourmet meal compare to one that is served at a restaurant?
The best gourmet burgers are made with locally sourced ingredients, which are typically sourced from local producers.
They are also made using a range of techniques and techniques to make them as high quality as possible.
We also tested a selection of other gourmet foods.
The results showed that a good vegetarian gourmet burger is good enough for the table, but a good meat gourmet lunch is good for the home.
What are some tips for making a good meal at home?
Use the best ingredients you can.
A good burger can be made from anything, including fresh fruit, vegetables, and seafood.
But make sure you choose your favorite items from the ingredients list.
Also, choose the right ingredients and seasonings, like pepper, herbs, spices, and seasoning for each ingredient.
For example, a good hamburger patty should be marinated in fresh tomato sauce, and grilled.
But a good steak sandwich should be grilled, with the patty cut into slices, then seasoned with herbs and spices.
It's important to use the right toppings and spices, like cumin, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder, for a perfect burger.

Your object has been set as the data source of the UITableView somewhere. Most likely, by making a connection in InterfaceBuilder, though it is straightforward to do so in code by setting the
dataSource property of the UITableView:
- (void) setUpMyJunkMan
myTableView.dataSource = self;
Once you have set your object as the data source, the table view will invoke the method as needed to determine what it needs to draw or how it needs to respond to events.
Your object is required to implement the
UITableViewDataSource protocol (though, if you connected the data source via InterfaceBuilder, there may not be a complaint if you don't -- it is more of a compile time validation than a runtime one).
If you look at the declaration of
UITableViewDataSource, you'll see that a number of methods are
_USER_. The rest are
_USER_; you must implement them to fulfill the contract of the protocol.
This is the key difference between data sources and delegates. Delegates can optionally implement any of the declared methods. Data sources create a much more formal relationship between the two objects wherein some of the methods must be implemented.

Thread: Polymorphic DB Tables

 Polymorphic DB Tables
 (Summary: I want to have an is-a relationship in PHP also be in the database, and if I search for something in the table of the base class, it will also search in the table of the child class. I also need this treatment with updating, inserting, and deleting. Does anyone know of a framework that will do this?)
 So, I've been dealing with some pretty crazy ideas. But I'm absolutely positive that others have thought of this and perhaps even implemented it, though google and forum searches reveal nothing.
 In PHP, I have a base class:
 - Person, with property "name".
 Two subclasses of Person:
 - Programmer, with property "IQ" and inherited property "name".
 - Quarterback, with property "Apishness" and inherited property "name".
 The question is how to represent this class "Tree" in the database.
 === Implementation 1 ===
 In the database, there is one table:
 - Person, column "type", column "name", optional column "IQ", and optional column "Apishness"
 The idea is that the database be able to:
 - Pay attention to the "IQ" column only if "type" = "Programmer" (likewise for Apishness/Quarterback).
 - Only look through the Programmer subset when I only want a Programmer (likewise for Quarterback).
 - Instantiate a Programmer object if the row is a Programmer (likewise for Quarterback).
 === Implementation 2 ===
 In the database, there are three tables:
 - Person, column "name".
 - Programmer, columns "name" and "IQ"
 - Quarterback, columns "name" and "Apishness"
 The idea is that the database be able to:
 - Look through all three tables when I want a Person.
 - Look through only the Programmer table when I want Programmers (likewise for Quarterback).
 - Instantiate a Programmer object when I recall from the Programmer table (likewise for Quarterback).
 Either way, the usage will be the same. So far, something like this:
 class Notification extends DBData {
 const childTables = "NewGameNotification, ChatNotification";
 const columnsDDL = "time int, playerID int";
 public $time, $playerID;
 class ChatNotification extends Notification {
 const childTables = "ColoredChatNotification, EmotedChatNotification";
 const columnsDDL = 'fromPlayerID int, text text';
 public $fromPlayerID, $text;
 I hope by now, the idea is clear: I want to be able to have a Person, Quarterback, or Programmer object, be able to put it in the database, bring it back just as it was. I also want the luxury to be able to treat them all as Person, because they are all of type Person, after all.
 So, my official question is, is there a framework that will do this for me? I've already finished implementation 1, and am almost done with implementation 2, over 1000 lines already.
 The reason I need to know this is because either implementation has its drawbacks, implementation 1 has a lot of wasted space, but uses less queries, and is faster for small amounts of data. Implementation 2 is better for large amounts of data, but uses more queries, and can't do things like LIMIT, or ORDER without falling back on implementation 1 temporarily.

 I would define a "class" table that only has information about the class (not its properties). This table would be implemented to represent the hierarchical relationship between parent/child classes using either the "adjacency list" or "nested set" model. See _URL_ for more info. (I'd go with the nested set approach, myself, as being more flexible/powerful.)
 Then I'd have a separate table for properties, which would include a foreign key relationship to its class's primary key. Assuming your DBMS version/storage-engine supports it, you could use foreign key triggers to handle things like deleting all of a class's properties when a class is deleted.

I suppose a generalization would be, if $\gcd(m,r)=1$, choose $b$ so that $rb\equiv1\pmod m$. Then $n\equiv0\pmod m$ if and only if $n'+ba_0\equiv0\pmod m$, where $a_0$ is the unit's digit of $n$ when $n$ is written in base $r$, and $n'=(n-a_0)/r$.

This amounts to "simplifying" an equation by cancelling some unit factor $\rm\:d\:.\:$ Because $\rm\:d\:$ is a unit (i.e. invertible), this is an invertible transformation, i.e. $\rm\:d\:x\equiv d\:y\iff\ x\equiv y\:.$ One encounters such simplifications (or normalizations) quite frequently, e.g. normalizing polynomial equations to be monic, i.e. scaling them so that the leading coefficient $= 1\:.$

Definition of 'Severability'
A clause in a contract that allows for the terms of the contract to be independent of one another, so that if a term in the contract is deemed unenforceable by a court, the contract as a whole will not be deemed unenforceable. If there were no severability clause in a contract, a whole contract could be deemed unenforceable because of one unenforceable term.
Also known as a "severability clause" or a "savings clause".
Investopedia explains 'Severability'
A contract with a severability clause is essentially one contract divided into many different parts: default on one component of the contract does not prevent the rest of the contract from being fulfilled. If a sentence, clause or term in a contract is deemed invalid by a court, then this problem area of the contract will most often be rewritten to fit both the contract's original intent and the requirements of the court.
