The projected cost of a new high school is $20,066,340 of which $5,216,340 will be covered by annual grants. Using data from the last census the planning committee estimated the cost per town resident. However new census data reveals that the population has increased by 2200 people reducing the cost of each resident by $75.
What is the current population of the town?
1 Answer | Add Yours
If $5,216,340 will be covered by annual grants, this leaves $20,066,340 - $5,216,340 = $14,850,000 left to be covered by the residents of the town.
Let x = original population
Let 'y_n' = new cost per person
Let' y_o' = old cost per person
'y_n = 14,850,000/(x+2,200)'
'y_o = 14,850,000/x'
'14,850,000/x - 14,850,000/(x+2,200) = 75'
'14,850,000(x+2200) -14,850,000x = 75x(x+2,200)'
'14,850,000x+32,670,000,000 -14,850,000x = 75x^2 +165,000x'
Use the quadratic formula:
a=1; b=2,200; c=435,600,000
Since the population could not have been negative we know that:
'x=(-2,200+41,800)/2 = 19,800'
Therefore, the current population of the town is 19,800+2,200 = 22,000.

(The source of funds used…)
1) The source of funds used by a non-resident Indian (NRI) should be identified at the time of investing in order to decide if the money can be taken outside the country on sale or redemption.
2) If the source of funds is foreign currency, it can be sent without any restriction. If, however, it is Indian rupees, it cannot be remitted. These two sources cannot be clubbed together.
3) The bank account through which the investment is routed is used to determine the source of funds. The funds that are remitted from abroad into the NRE or FCNR accounts and invested can be freely sent back.
4) The income earned in India on investments is repatriable, irrespective of the source of funds. This includes interest from bonds and bank accounts, rental income, dividends from shares and mutual funds.
5) The income earned on an investment is freely repatriable once the taxes have been paid according to the Indian laws.
6) The income in the form of sale proceeds from capital assets, such as property, land, shares, bonds, and mutual funds held in India, are repatriable to the extent of funds remitted from abroad for buying these capital assets.

La communication dans l'œuvre romanesque de Jacques Savoie
MetadataShow full item record
This paper explores the nature of communication in Jacques Savoie's novels. Many of the characters experience difficulties in making themselves understood by others, especially by their loved ones. Some of these challenges are psychological while others are related to the relationship between the characters. This study examines the both the factors that obstruct communication as well as those that foster it. Of particular interest are the related issues of language and its interpretation. While the state of mutual understanding is often attained through dialogue, the much more elusive state of communion is reached through art, specifically through music and poetry. Several of Savoie's novels are testament to the power of art to communicate not only the nature of the world but its beauty.

GOOD NEWS: Deaf Dog Becomes Comic Book Superhero To Promote Acceptance
A lot of people passed by a dog at the New Jersey animal shelter for the very reason that music teacher Chris Hannah decided to rescue him - the pooch was deaf. But Hannah's 10-year-old nephew Kevin is deaf also, so he was happy to adopt the pet, who he named Cole.
Hannah's students were inspired by his new pup and helped their teacher create a superhero story called "Captain Cochlear and Maestro Mutt," based on Cole and Kevin. The comic book teaches the importance of learning to accept those who are a little different.
Now Cole is getting ready to be tested to become a certified therapy dog and Hannah plans to take his dog to visit hearing-impaired students to share their comic book. "Some things just happen for a reason," Hannah says of finding Cole.

Inside Qt meta Object
In this article we will discuss how and why we use meta-object in Qt.
The word meta indicates that the word prefixed is about itself. So a meta-object is an object describing the object. QT Meta-Object Compiler, moc, is the program that handles Qt's C++ extensions.The moc reads C++ source files, if it finds one or more class declarations that contain the Q_OBJECT macro, it produces another C++ source file which contains the meta object code for those classes and those are automatically included by build system.
A meta-object contains information about a class that inherits QObject, e.g. class name, super class name, properties, signals and slots. Every QObject subclass that contains the Q_OBJECT macro will have a meta-object. Following code declares MyQTClass which has a property declared by Q_PROPERTY macro. This will allow us to update the property in several ways.
class MyQTClass : public QObject
Q_PROPERTY(int Myage READ Age WRITE setAge)
void setAge(int aAge);
// test code
MyQTClass *myinstance = new MyQTClass;
QObject *object = myinstance;
myinstance->setAge(100); // using setter function
myinstance->setProperty("Myage", 100); //using property
int retage =myinstance->Age(); // retage should be 100
bool b = object->setProperty("Myage", v); // b is true since we have a Myage property
b = object->setProperty("aVariable", v); // b is not true
QVariant test = object->property("Myage");
b = test.isValid(); // b is true
QVariant wrong = object->property("aVariabdfhdfgle");
b = wrong.isValid(); // b is not true
const QMetaObject *metaobject = object->metaObject();
QString classname(metaobject->className()); // classname shoudl be "MyQTClass"
int count = metaobject->propertyCount(); // number of Property
for (int i=0; iproperty(i);
const char *name = metaproperty.name(); // property name should come from MyQTClass + QObject
In the above code,at the very top of the class declaration we find the Q_OBJECT macro. It is important that this macro appears first in the body of the class declaration because it marks the class as a class that needs a meta-object. In the case of Qt, meta-objects are instances of the class. It means that the above code goes into a file called MyQTClass.h. The implementation goes into MyQTClass.cpp, and the moc generates another C++ file from the header file called moc_MyQTClass.cpp. The contents from the generated file can change between Qt versions.

Galápagos Island Coffee: Why Altitude Isn't Everything
Welcome to the Galápagos Islands. 13 major islands, 6 smaller islands, and numerous islets that are full of unique biodiversity, some of which you canút find anywhere else in the world. It's such a unique island and it should defintely be on your bucket list. Flight details are very easy to find so it should be easy to plan your trip!
And while coffee may not be a plant exclusive to the Galápogos Islands, something about it here is unusual. It's widely accepted that coffee grown at higher altitudes is better quality â€" especially when it's close to the equator, like this archipelago is. Yet specialty-grade coffee is grown at surprisingly low altitudes here, from 200 to 300 m.a.s.l.
So I spoke to Wilson Gonzalez of Productora de Café Galápagos to find out more about coffee in the Galápagos Islands â€" and why altitude isn't always an indicator of quality.
Lee este artÃculo en EspaÃ±ol: Café de la Isla Galápagos: Por Qué la Altitud No lo es Todo

What Does Altitude Have to Do With Coffee Quality?
Although coffee grows in hot climates, coffee grown at cooler temperatures will often be better quality. This is because the beans will ripen more slowly, developing more sugars and complexity as they do so.
Generally speaking, the higher the altitude, the cooler the temperature. However, this will vary depending on the country's latitude. The farther it is from the equator, the cooler the temperature usually becomes.
For this reason, a coffee grown at a lower altitude in Hawaii could have more sweetness than a higher altitude Venezuelan (or it could not â€" there are many factors that affect sweetness, including plant species/variety, production and processing methods, and roasting/brewing).
High-altitude coffee is also known as hard beans, or dense coffee, and it will affect how the beans need to be roasted. While roasters, baristas, and consumers all see high altitude as a sign of good coffee, it can result in decreased yields for producers.

So, given that the Galapágos Islands sit on the equator, why do they break the rules?

Coffee Production on The Galápagos Islands
First of all, a quick overview of coffee production on these islands: Wilson tells me that, around 135 years ago, the first coffee seeds were brought here from French colonies in the Caribbean (stopping in Panama along the way). These were Bourbon seeds, and Bourbon remains the main variety grown on these islands today.
Other varieties were introduced 40â€"50 years ago by emigrants from the Loja Province of Ecuador: Caturra, Typica, CatuaÃ, Sachimorâ€¦ You'll mostly find these these on Santa Cruz Island.

Harvesting & Processing
The main producing islands are San CristÃ³bal and Santa Cruz; more than 90% of the archipelago's population lives on these islands. As of such, they account for 80% of the archipelago's coffee.
William tells me that most of the coffee is also hand-picked, and the vast majority is washed processed, with dry processing accounting for the rest.
What's more, the Galápagos Islands are one of those few regions with two coffee harvests a year: February to March and November to December. This is thanks to the Humboldt current.

Sea Currents & Altitude
The Galápagos Islands sit on the equator, meaning there's intense sunshine from 6am to 6pm, with little variation throughout the year. Add to that low altitude, and you'd expect poor-quality coffee.
Yet although the islands receive intense sun, they don't receive intense heat. In fact, William describes the climate as similar to what you'd expect at 1,200â€"1,300 m.a.s.l. Even in the hottest months, the temperature rarely reaches above 30/31Â°C. And in July to September, the dry season, it can drop below 20Â°C.
William explains that this because of the Humboldt Current. A low-salinity ocean current, it flows north along the west coast of South America from the Southern Cone up to northern Peru and out to the Galapágos Islands. It brings with it cool marine breezes that bring down land temperature.
This is part of the reason why low-altitude coffee from the Galápagos Islands can taste and roast like high-altitude coffee from other parts of the Americas.

What Does Coffee From The Galápagos Islands Taste Like?
William tells me that coffee from the Galápagos Islands is typically sweet, with a caramel flavor, medium body, high aroma, and nice acidity.
Part of the reason for this delicious profile is the unique microclimate, with the cool sea breezes and ocean current. It can also be attributed to the varieties; for example, Bourbon tends to be sweet. Then there's the careful processing and production methods.
Soil quality is another key aspect: the Galápagos Islands were created from the frequent eruption of volcanoes over time. The layering of these â€" at the time, underwater â€" volcanoes built up until they emerged from the ocean. Volcanic soil is rich in nutrients, such as nitrogen, which is particularly important for growing and harvesting coffee.
If you were to look at the low altitude of the Galápagos Islands, and their position on the equator, it would be easy to write them off as a bad region for coffee production. Yet many factors influence coffee quality: altitude, yes, but also ocean/air currents, geographic location, local microclimates, soil, processing, and more.
Whether it's from Brazil or Ecuador, it's important to always look at range of information available about a coffee. Or, even better, judge for yourself based on how it tastes in the cup.

Why is Louisa Collins known as the Borgia of Botany?
I've received so many emails in response to the story in Good Weekend (19/10) and one question that has arisen is: why was Louisa called the Borgia of Botany?
Two reasons: first, because Louisa supposedly used poison to dispatch her husbands (once you've read the book, you'll be able to decide for yourself whether she was guilty.)
The name Louisa sounds a little like Lucrezia - and Lucrezia Borgia is a famous figure in Renaissance history: the daughter of a Pope, she is rumoured to have owned a hollow ring, which she would fill with poison to drop into the drinks of her family's enemies.
Second: because Louisa lived in Botany, of course!


Genealogy Friday: Why Family Reunions Are Dying Out
posted in: Family Reunion, Genealogy | 0
Recently, I had someone ask when we were going to have the next family reunion. I honestly answered "I don't know."
With over 500+ descendants living, we are lucky to have the same faithful group of about thirty to attend each year. We've noticed that there just is not a large interest in getting together.
That same weekend, I saw a large family group that had gathered for an extended holiday weekend. This family of 80+ individuals had gathered from not only all over the country, but some members even came from other parts of the world. On top of that, they all attended church together.
It is important to gather and celebrate being a family and our ancestors
I wondered, why they had such a wonderful turn out when other family reunions are dying out.
So why are family reunions dying out?
 1. The younger generation has no interest in getting together. Often they do not even know who the reunion is for or how they are related to this family group.
 2. The older generations are dying out and have not shared stories and memories of their family. On several lines of my family, as well as numerous other family's I've talked with, this is a common reason that family reunion has not continued.
 3. No one has an interest in stepping up and taking over the planning of the family reunion.
 4. There are too many other obligations, distractions and commitments to be met. This is especially true with families that have children involved in sports and/or the arts.
 5. Illness can often affect families so that individuals are unable to attend.
 6. Finances can affect individuals, depending on the distance of travel and other financial obligations for the reunion.
 7. No interest in family history. Sadly, this is still very common, especially with the younger generations. They have no interest in their roots or where they came from.
What are some reasons you've discovered family reunions are dying out?

ReQL command: distinct
Command syntax
sequence.distinct() → array
table.distinct([{index: }]) → stream
r.distinct(sequence) → array
r.distinct(table, [{index: }]) → stream
Removes duplicates from elements in a sequence.
The distinct command can be called on any sequence or table with an index.
While distinct can be called on a table without an index, the only effect will be to convert the table into a stream; the content of the stream will not be affected.
Example: Which unique villains have been vanquished by Marvel heroes?
r.table('marvel').concatMap(function(hero) {
 return hero('villainList')
}).distinct().run(conn, callback)
Example: Topics in a table of messages have a secondary index on them, and more than one message can have the same topic. What are the unique topics in the table?
r.table('messages').distinct({index: 'topics'}).run(conn, callback)
The above structure is functionally identical to:
r.table('messages')('topics').distinct().run(conn, callback)
However, the first form (passing the index as an argument to distinct) is faster, and won't run into array limit issues since it's returning a stream.

Can Chickens Fly
Many people want to know if chickens can fly, and what to do with backyard chickens in regards to flight. So, can chickens fly? In short, yes they can. However, they cannot fly very far or very high, and are not known for their flying abilities. We will cover a few common questions about chicken flight, including how high they can go, how far, and what to do with a flighty bird.
The chicken flight records show that chickens don't have a great ability to fly. The longest recorded flight of a chicken was 13 seconds, and the farthest distance recorded was over 301 feet. Although these are impressive by chicken standards, consider that birds like eagles can fly over 125 miles without landing.
Different breeds and birds have different abilities. One breed that is known for being able to fly well is the Wyandotte. These birds start flying at a young age and are known to be more flighty birds, although they don't fly well. On the other hand, frizzle chickens often cannot even jump up onto a perch due to their funny feathering!
Let's look at why chickens fly. There are many reasons your poultry may take to the air, but a few are most common. First, chickens will often fly when being chased or when they feel like they are in danger. Flight is a great survival mechanism, helping your flock get away from a predator or threat.
Chickens also fly out of curiosity and perseverance. If they see literal or proverbial greener grass, they may go to investigate. Chickens are extremely determined birds, and will do what they can to see what is going on on the other side of a fence. If there are good pickins on the other side of the fence, your birds may want to see what they can find.
Finally, chickens may fly to find a place to roost. Some breeds may be more prone to this than others. Ameraucanas, for example, love to perch up in trees. They may do this at dusk, or during the day to take a nap. They may jump from branch to branch and get pretty high up there! We've seen our ladies up ten feet or more in the tree.
How Far Can Chickens Fly?
So, can chickens fly long distances? They cannot. When they do fly, it tends to be just a few feet at a time. Many lighter breeds are able to fly a few meters at a time, but this is rare. During a scuffle with another chicken or a predator, you may see your flock taking a low and quick flight a few meters away. In more dramatic cases when a chicken is really trying to escape something, they often will travel over fifty feet in the air.
How High Can Chickens Fly?
This is another common question we hear quite a bit. People ask can chickens fly over fences, walls, or onto roofs. Like many other questions related to chicken flight, it really depends on the breed. Heavier chickens may top out at four feet, while lighter chickens often can reach up to seven feet. Chickens will jump up into trees, onto fences, or onto roofs often in steps. If there is something near a fence for a chicken to jump up to first, they may be able to get over. However, they can be trained to not clear fences or the roof.
According to Live Science, the most simple explanations are that chickens have too small of wings, and they are too large and heavy to fly. However, they were not always that way as we point out in our post 19 Interesting Facts about Chickens. Through selective breeding, we have domesticated chickens today that are larger and less flight-prone than their ancestors, the jungle fowl.
Clipping Your Chicken's Wings
Clipping a chicken's wings is considered harsh by some, while many choose to do it. It does not harm your chicken, but will dramatically impact their ability to fly. By clipping just the flight wings, the birds are prevented from gaining lift. They can still fly and escape danger, but it is much more difficult for them to get good air. Do your research to see if this is right for you. If you're interested in clipping your chickens' wings, make sure you do it right. You can find a good guide to clipping chicken wings from Permaculture.

Ginseng Rush in Minnesota
Lass, William E
This article discuses the history of the ginseng "boom" that took place in Minnesota, including the lower Minnesota River Valley, in the late 1850s. the gathering of wild ginseng root for sale to markets in China was a major economic activity for the region, and helped to mitigate the impact of a financial depression following the bank failures of the Panic of 1857. Ginseng became known as the "weed that saved Minnesota." The author also describes the ginseng market following its boom period, and the shift form wild to cultivated ginseng in the early twentieth century.

"The PAR or Philippine Area of Responsibility was plotted by PAGASA so that our National Weather Office would have an exact area to monitor for weather disturbances. Once a weather disturbance becomes to near the borders of the PAR or crosses it, it could become a national or provincial issue of safety.
Some weather disturbances affecting our neighboring countries may pass near our territory but they are not declared as a threat to the people since they are not within the PAR. The duration of storms, low pressure areas, and tropical depressions are also monitored by checking if they are still within the PAR or how close they are to crossing the outermost borders of the PAR.
You must remember that even if it is called Philippine Area of Responsibility, there are portions of that overlap with the areas of responsibility of other countries such as Japan, Malaysia, Palau, and Taiwan. There are also Philippine territories that are not included in the PAR and that is the southernmost parts of Tawi-Tawi."

Developed by the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum, The Hope Trunk: An Offering of Positive Education provides educators a unique and meaningful classroom learning resource.
The Hope Trunk is a traveling exhibit that contains educational materials and memorial items from the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The trunk, which a school may use for two weeks, contains artifacts, visual materials, and classroom exercises that may be used as a stand alone unit or incorporated into core curriculum. Shipping is provided courtesy of FedEx.
The Hope Trunk was developed to educate students about the impact of violence, the senselessness of using violence to effect change, and the importance of personal responsibility. The trunk has been on exhibit at schools nationwide. Many students viewing its artifacts were not alive when the Oklahoma City bombing occurred. The traveling exhibit helps to ensure the messages of that event continue to have impact.
The Mid-Atlantic Center for Emergency Management (MACEM) at Frederick Community College (FCC) had the pleasure of featuring the Hope Trunk, as part of Dr. Brenda Phillips' presentation on Human Response to Disaster at the 2016 Summer Institute. The exhibit included a range of items such as children's books; The Daily Oklahoman Newspaper – April 20, 1995; public safety patches from across the Nation as a show of unity; and rubble from the site. Each trunk also includes a 'hope bear' that was placed at the memorial. Mr. Anthony Thomas, a Summer Institute participant and educator at Dorchester Career and Technology Center (DCTC), also utilized the Hope Trunk during a lesson on how memorials can help people recover from disaster. DCTC and FCC are proud to be added to the growing list of "Hope Bear Schools."
Let's keep the trunk moving!

Amazon (AWS) CloudFront now supports using a custom SSL certificate so you can use your own domain name for HTTPS requests instead of having to use the Setup via the CloudFront console is easy: just pick the appropriate key from the list of keys you have uploaded to AWS IAM.
However, the IAM web console has no way to upload the key. You have to use the AWS CLI. Not hard, just a lot of parameters.
The command line blows up with a cryptic error:
A client error (EntityAlreadyExists) occurred when calling the UploadServerCertificate operation: The Server Certificate with name already exists.
Run it through openssl:
openssl rsa -in example.key -text >
Then delete everything up to the line -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- and save as example-aws.key
Step-by-Step Example
Generate a key and certificate request.
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -keyout example.key -out example.csr
You should now have two files: example.key and example.csr.
Upload to StartSSL and go through their certificates wizard. Save the result as example.crt
Transform the result to a format acceptable to AWS:
openssl rsa -in example.key -text >
Strip out everything from the except the RSA key. The following is a sed command line that will do it for you, but any text editor will work.
sed '/-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----/,$!d' >
Make the certificate chain. Download the appropriate intermediate and root certificates and merge them (just with each other, not with your new cert):
cat ca.pem >chain.crt
Upload to AWS IAM
aws iam upload-server-certificate --path /cloudfront/example/ --server-certificate-name example --certificate-body file://example.crt --private-key file:// --certificate-chain file://chain.crt

Brian Switek: How did bones evolve?
Fossil fanatic Brian Switek explains what a bone actually is, and why they are so important in human history.
Brian Switek, the pen name of science writer and fossil fanatic Riley Black, this year released a book called The Secret Life of Bones: Their Origins, Evolution and Fate (£9.99, Duckworth). In it, she explains how and why we evolved bones, and explains the relationship we humans have with these sturdy struts of osseous tissue.
In this week's episode of the Science Focus Podcast, she helpfully explains what a bone is and how they turn into fossils, as well as how they revealed Richard III's diet and were historically used to justify scientific racism, and why Hollywood is getting aliens all wrong.

Conduction Error: What is conduction error?
Conduction error is a fault in a temperature sensor reading when heat is conducted along the temperature sensor body. The most common reason for conduction error is inadequate immersion into the application.
There are a number of ways to mitigate conduction error which are discussed here: Conduction Error in Temperature Sensors


How to Make Date Paste
Many of our desserts and baking recipes rely heavily on date paste as a replacement for sugar. Because date paste includes the same nutrients you find in dates, it brings more nutrition to a dish than refined sugars. Date paste, however, is not easily available in most major grocery stores, which might leave you scratching your head. Never fear! Date paste is just date puree, and it's easy to make. Here are some tips for getting good results.
Apple-Date Torte
Apple-Date Torte is a wonderful dessert for trying out date paste because it's very forgiving where consistency is concerned.
1. Choose your dates.
For the best health benefit, look for whole, unsweetened dates. The ingredients label on the package should say only "dates." Some dried or chopped, candied dates contain added sugar, which you don't need.
2. Choose your amount.
Estimating your quantity is tricky, since date sizes vary by type and your ultimate volume will also depend on how much water you add. As a general rule of thumb, however, you will get approximately 1 cup of date paste for 12 Medjool dates.
3. Soak your dates.
Straight up dates will produce a paste thick enough to jam most blenders and getting a smooth consistency can be challenging. Cover your dates with warm water for 1 hour, then drain the liquid off completely, reserving the liquid.
4. Puree the dates.
Using the most powerful blending tool in your kitchen (blender, food processor, whatever you own that's strongest), puree the dates. If you're having trouble getting them to a nice paste consistency (think tomato paste for comparison), add in just enough water to reach a workable consistency.
5. Store the extra.
Because amounts can be challenging to adjust, it's not a bad idea to make date paste in a larger batch than you expect to need. Measure out 1/4 cup increments onto a parchment covered baking sheet and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Freeze for 4-6 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag for later use.

The Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube, along with its Weighted Companion Cube variant, is the most common and basic testing element in Portal and Portal 2. It is used throughout the testing courses of the Aperture Science Enrichment Center.
- The Weighted Storage Cube is a device used for solving cube-and-button based puzzles in the various Test Chambers found throughout the Enrichment Center.
- In Portal and the Single Player campaign of Portal 2, Weighted Storage Cubes are to be placed on a Super Button to allow Test Subjects to advance.
- In the cooperative campaign of Portal 2, the Weighted Storage Cubes are to be placed on Cube Buttons.
- Weighted Storage Cubes appear either via an Aperture Science Vital Apparatus Vent or are already in a test chamber.
- It can be picked up by using the "use" key and can also be taken through portals.
- The Weighted Storage Cube can also be used as a makeshift weapon against an Aperture Science Sentry Turret by dropping it on the Sentry Gun from a Portal, or as a makeshift shield to block turret fire and energy pellets.
- Like most objects, the Weighted Storage Cube will disintegrate upon touching an Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill.
- In Portal 2, the cubes have a circular blue light on each side, and when left on a button it changes to a yellow light. They are also notably smaller in size than in Portal.
- The Weighted Companion Cube in Portal 2 bears a resemblance to the standard Cubes, their only difference is that they have a heart on each face of the Cube and emit a pink light.
- A special type of Storage Cube, the Weighted Companion Cube appears in both Portal and Portal 2. It is identical to the regular Weighted Storage Cube in both games, except that it has a heart where the Aperture Science logo would be. At the end of the Test Chamber 17 in Portal, the player is forced to throw it into an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator. Narrative provided by GLaDOS and Doug Rattmann suggests that the Companion Cube is designed to test emotional stress by having subjects develop affection for it before being forced to destroy it.
- In Portal 2's second chapter Test Chamber 07, GLaDOS reveals that there are warehouses full of Weighted Companion Cubes shortly after disintegrating two of them. She also contradicts her statements from the first game, openly stating that they are sentient. As the Material Emancipation Grill for that chamber is not functioning, Chell can remove the companion cube from that chamber (earning the player the "Preservation of Mass" achievement/trophy), only to have GLaDOS destroy it herself shortly before reaching the elevator.
- It is unknown whether the Companion Cube can communicate openly in any way. Although generally the Cube actually talking seems to be a sign of madness, if the "Preservation of Mass" achievement is earned, GLaDOS claims the Cube was about to say "I love you," and in Portal 2, the Cube produces a chime, which foreshadows the Turret Opera.
- Twentieth century prototypes of the Storage Cubes were seen in the old condemned parts of the Aperture Science Innovators test chambers, where they also served a similar purpose for weighing down buttons. These cubes can react to the Mobility Gels, as well. It is unknown if the early cubes were simple crates with nothing inside, or if they were actually weighed down to help push down and hold in place the early Aperture Science Super Buttons. These cubes also appear to be made of wood, held together by staples. No analogue of the Companion Cubes appear.

Behind the scenes
- The Weighted Companion Cube was invented because playtesters often failed to realize that the puzzle required you to take the cube with you, so they made it unique and more noticeable, and had GLaDOS put a great deal of emphasis on it in her voiceover.
- A Weighted Companion Cube plush and fuzzies are available to purchase online at Valve online.
- A Companion Cube prop can be unlocked for Xbox Live avatars by completing the Portal 2 Single Player campaign.
- The teaser trailer version of GLaDOS' Incinerator Room features the burned Companion Cube.
- The Companion Cubes seem to replace Storage Cubes in the Aperture Investment videos.
- The Companion Cube from Portal is implied to have never been completely incinerated during the ending sequence of Portal 2. This is noted by the amount of burns marks it has sustained, also implied from statistics of the Portal Gun which can endure temperatures of up to 4000 kelvin, that subsequent Aperture products are also able to. In addition, the Companion Cube in Portal 2 sports a new design, but the cube in the ending sequence is the Portal design.
- In Portal 2, when held, the Companion Cube causes the game to play a type of tune or chime specific to it, much like how certain music plays during the activation or use of certain testing elements of functioning Aperture Science technology (eg. Aerial Faith Plate). The tune is a loop that foreshadows the upcoming Turret Opera at the end of the campaign.
- In the Xbox 360 game Fable III, a crate with a heart painted on each of its sides can be found in one of the game's dungeons, being worshipped by a creature called a Hobbe. On the table next to the cell in which the Hobbe is being kept, there is also a Cake.
- In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 there is an unlockable title called "Companion Crate" on hearts background, most likely referring to Portal and Portal 2
Weighted Storage Ball, the model of which is shared with that of the simplified Personality Core.

Buying snake fruit, if you're not from Asia perhaps is not as common as buying apple, banana or papaya. Outside Asia, this fruit is actually a rare gem. However, when you find it in the fruit stall in your country, how would you choose the tastiest one?
Picking snake fruit with the perfect ripe condition is not as easy as what you might think it is. So, have you ever wondered why the snake fruit you bought from that fruit stall is not as tasty as what the seller tells you? Did you hesitate to buy it? Because the last time you get it from that shop tastes bitter, too tart or even worse, it's rotten?
If that's the case, then you should definitely know how to buy the tastiest snake fruit from your nearest fruit stall, if any. Take my tips and you will never get that ugly snake fruit ever again.
How to buy the perfect ripe snake fruit from your local fruit stall
- Pick the best cultivar
Did you know: In Indonesia alone, there are at least 30 known snake fruit cultivars, some of them have several varieties and the genus of salacca has 22 species.
First of all, the best cultivars are actually Salak Pondoh, Salak Bali and Salak Padang Sidempuan. The others aren't that tasty, so when purchasing the fruit you should ask the seller if it is one of that cultivars.
- Pick the fruit that has yellowish brown skin color
Snake fruit that has a perfect ripe condition will have yellowish brown skin color. So, every time you buy snake fruits from the fruit stall, you should obviously check the skin color.
- Pick oval shaped snake fruit
The sweetness of a snake fruit, especially from Pondoh cultivar can be spotted from the shape. The more oval the shape, the sweeter it gets. So, make sure you choose the most oval shaped snake fruit.
- Pick snake fruit with wide gaps in its scale
The gap in snake fruit scale marks weather it's ripe or not. A perfectly ripe snake fruit will have wide gaps in its scale, conversely young snake fruit has little gaps. So, make sure you pick the one that has the most wide gaps.
- Try to press the tip gently
Press the tip gently, see if it spits water. If it does, then you shouldn't pick that one. When the tip spits water, it simply means that the fruit is overripe or it might actually rotten.
- Pick the fruit yourself
More often than not, when buying a kilo or two snake fruits, the seller will pack it for you. So, it is better to select several fruits then give it to the seller to pack. So you don't end up getting cheated or bringing home overripe snake fruits.
That's how to buy the tastiest snake fruit. Make sure to check all the tips above before buying one. Do you have any good or bad experiences when buying snake fruit? Share with us your story in the comment section below.

Rotation for RBXDevs-How to Fix Wood Grain
Hello confused devs of ROBLOX, WoodReviewer here. Today I am not here to just talk about how wood grain should go. Today I am only here to talk about how you rotate wood grain to fix it. Yes, I know. You just rotate and resize the bricks. But that seems to be above what some people are able to do. So lets start at the very basics on how you fix wood grain.
No Plugins
This first part is how you can fix wood grain with a completely stock version of ROBLOX studio, no plugins or anything, like I use to do for years before newer building plugins were a thing. The first step is to have some bad wood grain.
Bad Grain.png
The second step is to change the wood grain to wooden planks.
bad grain planks.png
Why? Simply put, wooden planks and regular wood have the same grain direction, and with the darker lines provided by the gaps between the planks, it can be easier to tell what way the wood grain is facing.
Step two isn't a step as much as making sure you do everything right. Simple check the size of the brick you are fixing.
There are several ways to do this, either in notepad, sticky notes, mental notes, or making a duplicate brick and putting it some where to act as a reference point.
Size Notepad.png
Next up is another option step in case you can't tell what way the wood grain is facing. First, you need to resize the brick.
Resize Planks.png
But don't resize it all at once; do one side first.
Resize Planks 2.png
Then the other side an equal amount. The ensures the center of the brick stays in the same exact place while rotating the brick.
Resize Planks 3.png
And then resize the other two sides the same way. Again, this is optional, only do it if you can't tell what direction you need to rotate the board for proper wood grain.
Final Planks Resize.png
Next up you need to rotate the wood. Studio normal rotation amount means that that it should go an even 90 degree rotations, but if it does not change your rotation amount so it can do an even 90 degrees.
Planks Rotate.png
Next is a game of guess-and-check. Rotate the wood until it is finally at the correct orientation. This can vary based on how the wood was originally.
Planks rotations.png
From here, simply resize the brick so it is back to its original dimensions. Remember, to keep the brick in the same position you need to rotate each side by equal amounts. So in this case, it was 3x3x7. To make it be 1x1x7, you need to resize the longest side by 3 studs each, and the short side by 1 stud each. Then to fix its height, raise the top and lower the bottom by 2 studs each.
Resize final.png
Then, in the last step, change it back to wood if that is what you want, and voila, proper wood grain.
Back to wood.png
Next up is a slightly easier way to fix wood grain, but requires a plugin. Personally I prefer CmdUtl or one of its derivatives, such as Studio Build Suite, but any plugin that will let you rotate objects and resize from center should work. This is what I will be working with, a dozen or so bad pieces of wood grain. This can be fence posts, railings, chair legs, or anything that is repeated and exactly the same.
Bunch of parts.png
First you need to select them all. You can either alt+right click on each, select them in explorer, use a selection plugin, or drag and select them. I used the latter since there was nothing else I could accidentally select.
Next open up your building plugin.
From here, repeat the above steps, with some minor differences. First write down the size of the parts. Then, when you go to resize them to make the wood grain larger, use the "Resize Center" button. This will resize them from the center of the brick, so resizing by.5, for example, will increase both sides by.25 studs. This helps ensure the center of the brick remains in the same place.
SBS Resize Center.png
For most CmdUtl derivatives, this does it for every brick. Again, make sure your building plugin can do this. Next, you need to rotate them. Again, similar to the default studio steps, only this time use the "Rotate Object" tool. "Rotate Object" will rotate each object in price, while "Rotate Group" and "Rotate Pivot" will rotate the objects as a group, moving most of the bricks.
SBS Rotate Object.png
Then just keep repeating until they are in the correct orientation.
SBS Correct Rotations.png
And then resize them, again resizing from center so they remain in the exact same spot. Once the size is correct, simply change the material and it is done.
SBS Resize Final.png
Even though most people will want to use the Material Flip plugin, mass-fixing 100 or so bricks this way is much quicker than using the Material Flip plugin at times.
Material Flip
Next up is the simplest way. First, install and enable the Material Flip plugin by Stravant. Next open select it in studio and look at a brick in studio with bad wood grain.
Texture Flip Front.png
The click on it and that face will have the material flipped 90 degrees.
Textue Flip Front Result.png
Repeat until all sides are fixed. This usually requires 2 clicks per brick, but sometimes fixing one side will cause the orientation of the brick to change in the way that both sides are fixed at once.
Texture flip side result.png
Seriously, why did I feel the need to do a tutorial on how to use this plugin.
Control Panel
Next up is not a way to fix wood grain, but a way to select it. It is Studio Command Panel, and is a quick way to select multiple bricks. Once you select the bricks you want, you can then rotate and fix them with CmdUtl, whether it is 5 bricks or 5,000 bricks. After you install it, click on it to activate it, select a brick, and press "P". This will open in up the panel.
Control Panel.png
Then just type in a command. For this, I'll be using the "SelectSimilar" command. First up is the "Similar Appearance" selection. It shows up once you type "SelectSimilar". "Similar Appearance" selects any bricks that have a similar color and material to the original brick, in this case the one on the far left. Because one brick is green, it is not selected.
Control Panel Appearance.png
Next up is the "Material" command. This will select all parts with a similar material, so the green one is selected. If you know all the wood in a place is incorrect, you can use this command.
Control Panel Material.png
Next up is color. Like appearance, it selects bricks based on color, but ignores material. In this case, it ignores the green brick again. I find this most useful because you can tag parts in a place you want ignored odd colors, like bright pink or green, and the selection will ignore them if they are good.
Control Panel Color.png
Next is by size. It ignores color and material, and only selects based on size. This is useful since when you go to fix the wood grain with CmdUtl you need the parts to be the same size, but it is not the most useful option.
Control Panel Size.png
The most useful selection tool is all. It only selects parts that are the same size, material, and color. This is the most useful because it can ignore non-wood parts, only select similarly sized parts, like size, which is needed to fix wood grain, and you can tag parts you want ignored with different colors to, well, ignore them.
Control Panel All.png
This plugin is very powerful and can do many things. However, all I use it for is to select stuff, so that is all I have experience with.

 Thank you so much. Now I realize why my wood grain was off and why you keep criticizing the wood grain even though I didn't quite understand what was wrong with it.

Firecracker flower makes a stunning house plant that blooms dependably from spring through fall. It is an ornamental / flower that typically grows as a perennial, which is defined as a plant that matures and completes its lifecycle over the course of three years or more. Its deeply veined, glossy leaves grow in opposite pairs, growing up to 5 in (13 cm) long. Orange flowers are most common, but other colors include red, yellow and pink. The flowers are held upright from green tubular bracts. Even young plants are eager to bloom, sending up clusters of flowers most of the year.
Potting Soil Mix
Every 12-13 Month
1. Crossandra like bright shade. Place them in bright, indirect light.
2. Apply any potting mix soil.
3. Crossandra need relatively high amounts of water. Keep them moist during the growing season and never allow them to dry out.
4. These plants need a week liquid fertilizer every week during the growing season. In the winter, cut back to once every month or so.
5. Crossandra should be deheaded regularly to keep the plant blossoming as long as possible. Snip off the flower stalks at the ground level to do so.
1. Highly Effective in Curing Wounds
2. Ornamental Purpose
1. In dry climates, mist the leaves weekly to provide enough moisture for them.
2. In the winter, provide as much light as possible.
1. In the winter, they need less water but should still never be allowed to dry out altogether.
2. Never over fertilize! You will see lots of weak, leafy growth and few flowers.

Death of a Salesman: From Page to Stage
AbstractConsidering the original dramatic text Death of a Salesman, the objective of the present research is to study and analyze different modes of adaptation carried out advancing from Persian page translations toward its considered stage performance. Using Ladoucer's (1995) model for the translation of drama texts, the Persian (audiovisual) stage performance and the two published Persian page translations involved, were analyzed so that the cases of alteration were identified and compared with/to one another. The results of the study revealed that in the case of page translation, alterations were carried out mostly due to linguistic and cultural mismatches and for the sake of the target readership. On the other hand, in the theatrical system, the alterations could be observed at a higher level in the form of freer adaptations, where not only the linguistic and cultural mismatches, but also the style and creativity of the theatre members, especially those of the director are involved. Thus, in the context of the theatrical production, different modes of adaptation are carried out when the authority of the theatre producer along with the value, taste, and interest of the theatre goers are to be taken into account.

How to grow a goatee
The Goatee is everywhere, from Hollywood to your local high street, and there's a good reason for its popularity.
 It's about the smallest beard you can grow (not counting the Soul Patch). In fact, its almost a'starter beard' (which you can extend into a Full Goatee - aka Circle Beard - at a later stage). You can practice trimming it, shaving it into slightly different shapes, and pulling at it a bit with your fingers when you want to indicate puzzlement. As boys' toys go, it's easier to acquire than most, and it doesn't need batteries. Enjoy!
2. Using your beard trimmer without the comb, remove the rest of your moustache and beard, except for a small section underneath (and a bit wider than) your mouth
3. Set your precision trimmer to 1-2mm. Trim a line on your chin 5mm from the corner of your lip on each side, and connect this line below the jawbone.
4. Curve a line around your Soul Patch on each side.
5. Finish the job off by using a rotary shaver on everything that's not part of your Original Goatee.

What is the difference between an air tanker and a water bomber?
Air tankers are land-based aircraft which leave the base with a load of fire retardant and must return to the base for additional loads. Water bombers are amphibious aircraft that skim over large water bodies and scoop up water which is then dropped on the fire. The B.C. Forest Service uses air tankers almost exclusively.
All air tankers have basically the same function on a fire, however, some will have more carrying capacity than others.


Set the background color of a Power BI Embedded IFrame
Date de publication : 01 juin, 2018
When the IFrame size that's allocated for an embedded object and the embedded object itself don't share the same aspect ratio, the result is gray margins on the sides (marked in red in the following figure).
Grey Shoulders
You can use the Custom Layout API to define how to fill the IFrame or set a fixed size for the object at any time. But that sometimes doesn't entirely fix the appearance of the gray margins.
You can now set the background color of the IFrame by making it transparent. By doing so, you'll give the IFrame the defined color of the DIV element that contains the IFrame. You have full control of what color/background layout will be seen in the margins, making the embedded object wrapped entirely by the application design.
Note that the default color is still gray, so you'll need to set a definition in the JavaScript code to get the transparency of the IFrame.

This paper shows some guidelines to improve the estimation accuracy of a navigation system, which is based on wide-field-integration (WFI) of optic flow. Optic flow is a vector field of relative velocities obtained by photoreceptors in image sensors, and WFI of optic flow enables motion estimation robust by integrating wide range of optic flow. Since the system has several attractive features (small size, light weight, and low computation), it is applicable to an autonomous control system of micro air vehicles. However, due to some restrictions of real systems, WFI of optic flow theory should be applied while considering sensor arrangement for better estimation. In this paper, first an adequate number and adequate optical-axes of image sensors are investigated. Then, a new estimation system combining a gyro sensor with WFI of optic flow is discussed by numerical simulations. Finally, the essential effect for the number of cameras are verified in experiments.

Can anything be said about the measure of the topological boundary of a Cacciopoli set in $R^n$? Of course, the reduced boundary has finite (n-1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure, but this does not say anything about the topological boundary, for instance, points with density 0 or 1 can still be part of the boundary.
My precise question: if $E$ is a Caccioppoli set, does there exist a measurable Cacciopoli set $F$, such that $E\triangle F$ and $\partial F$ are both Lebesgue null sets?

The answer is no. Take countably many disjoint closed balls $B_i$ contained in the square $Q=[0,1]\times [0,1]$ and such that:
(i) Sum of areas of $B_i$ is less than 1
(ii) Sum of perimeters of $B_i$ is finite
(iii) $\bigcup B_i$ is dense in $Q$
Since the series $\sum \chi_{B_i}$ converges in BV norm, the set $E=Q\setminus \bigcup B_i$ has finite perimeter. It also has positive measure and empty interior. Any representative $F$ of the set $E$ also has empty interior and therefore $\partial F$ is not Lebesgue null.
By the way, any Lebesgue measurable set E has a representative F with the property
(*) $0<|F\cap B(x,r)|<|B(x,r)|$ for all $x\in\partial F$ and all $r>0$.
The proof is straightforward: add the points x for which $|E\cap B(x,r)|=|B(x,r)|$ for some r, and throw out all points x such that $|E\cap B(x,r)|=0$ for some $r$. (See Prop. 3.1 in "Minimal surfaces and functions of bounded variation" by E. Giusti.) By virtue of (*) the set $F$ has the smallest (w.r.t inclusion) topological boundary among all representatives of $E$, so if this representative doesn't help you, nothing does.

Thanks! This was the kind of answer I was looking for. My question actually came from the result of E. Giusti you mention. I was hoping to sharpen it, but clearly this is not possible. – Martijn Jan 8 '10 at 11:45

Rodeta" (banding wheel)
Sexual division of labour
Gender and space
A banding wheel is a work tool made for use in the workroom of a factory or a ceramics workshop during the process of decorating ceramic objects.
It is a necessary implement to divide up the decoration of the piece over its entire surface using fine and thick lines, between which the artist would create decoration that was either similar to or differentiated from the other decorative elements framed within them. Applying these lines also enclosed the decoration as a whole, both to complete the ornamentation along the edge of the mouth of the piece and to enclose it at the base.

Minimize Distance between 3D Point Sets with Rotation and Translation
Date: 07/15/2007 at 14:32:21
From: Juan
Subject: find a rot-translation matrix for fitting two 3D point sets
I need to fit two sets of 3D points (a, b, c... n) and (a', b', c'...
n') in such a way that the Euclidean distances between the point
pairs (a,a'), (b,b')...(n,n') is minimum. I can apply only rotations
and translations but no scale changes.
Is it possible to find a least-squares solution to this problem? There
are lots of web pages describing methods for fitting the least-squares
solution between points and functions but I was unable to find
anything between two sets of points.
I suppose that if I represent X as the first dataset and Y as the
second dataset the classic least-squares method
Xt = Y
t = (X^TX)-1 X^T Y
should be able to provide a t matrix. However, this matrix can
contain scaling and I need that the transformation involves only
rotation and translation.
I have tried to use an iterative algorithm that applies rotations and
translations. It works fine, but it's time consuming and I am
convinced that there are far more efficient methods.

Investigating Motivations and Expectations of Asking a Question in Social Q&A
Social Q&A (SQA) has rapidly grown in popularity, impacting people's information seeking behaviors. Although previous research has examined how people seek and share information within SQA, fundamental questions of user motivations and expectations for information seeking remain. This paper applies the theoretical framework of uses and gratification theory to investigate the motivations for SQA use, and adapts relevance criteria from library and information science (LIS) literature to investigate expectations with regard to evaluation of content within SQA site Yahoo! Answers. A total of 75 Yahoo! Answers users participated in a survey that asked them about reasons, methods, and expectations relating to asking questions within the SQA site. Findings indicate the importance of motivations and expectations in fulfilling both cognitive and socio–affective needs based upon the type of task performed. These findings provide encouraging evidence that understanding the interrelationship between the motivations behind and expectations of asking a question can inform a more holistic framework to assess information.

What Does Wine Sound Like? Italian Engineers Create Audio Profiles for Vintages
Ever wondered what your favorite wine would sound like? Some sound engineers in Italy set out to create auditory profiles for their country's best vintages. They created the sound for each wine on a computer and when they insert a probe into the wine, it will make music depending on how the wine is moved around in the glass. The project is still in the early development stages, but they hope to one day offer it to wine producers and restaurants. Inside Edition Digital's Mara Montalbano has more.

Why are sulfates in shampoo bad?
Quick Answer
Sulfates in shampoo are bad because they are known to dry out hair when used frequently. Using shampoos that contain sulfates can lead to dryness, irritation and breakage.
Continue Reading
Full Answer
Sulfate shampoos don't need to be completely eliminated from a person's hair care routine if one is currently being used and its performance is satisfactory. Since sulfates are meant to remove buildup, sometimes sulfate shampoos can be useful; however, their usage should be limited to prevent any dryness, irritation or buildup. If the performance of a sulfate shampoo is unsatisfactory, then switch to a sulfate-free shampoo; this will still remove any buildup but will be milder.

Hadjiyiannis Mexis
From Phantis
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Hadjiyiannis Mexis was a Greek financier and political representative of the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire (1821 - 1829).
Mexis was born circa 1756 in Spetses, the son of Theodoros Mexis who hailed from Lambovo, Northern Epirus. He amassed a large fortune as a ship owner and a merchant and gained much influence in Spetses. During the War of Independence, he used his fortune to finance the war effort, providing war ships and lending money to the revolutionary government.
He attended the First National Assembly as a representative of Spetses between December 1821 and January 1822. On September 8, 1822, he successfully led the effort to defend the island against an attempted Turkish invasion.
After the war, Mexis served as a senator and a delegate from Spetses. He was honoured for his services to Greece by King Otto with the medal of the Grand Cross of the Order of the Saviour in 1841.
He died on August 23, 1844. His mansion in Spetses serves a museum of the War of Independence.

The Impact of the Chinese Exchange Policy on Foreign Trade
with the European Union
The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the Chinese foreign exchange policy on foreign trade with the European Union. After describing the importance of the exchange rate in an open economy and some of the methodologies employed to calculate its equilibrium value, we examine whether the Chinese competitiveness is due to the existence of misalignment (undervaluation) of its exchange rate, or rather, to other sources of competitiveness. For this purpose, we use a Vector Error Correction (VEC) model to estimate a long-run exports equation. The empirical results indicate that over the past few years, Chinese exports have benefited from an 'unfair' competitive advantage resulting from the manipulation of its currency value.

Finite Element Simulation of the Process of Aluminum Alloy Resistance Spot Welding
In this paper, an axis-symmetric finite element analysis (FEA) model for the resistance spot welding (RSW) of aluminum alloys is developed using the FEA software ANSYS. It accounts for the interactions of mechanical, electrical and thermal phenomena. The coupled analysis is accomplished through the cycles of contact analysis and electrical-thermal analysis. In order to perform the coupled mechanical-electrical-thermal analysis, the relationship for contact electrical resistivity as a function of contact pressure and temperature is proposed, and the phase change due to melting is also accounted for. At the same time, temperature-dependent variable material properties are used to the simulation. In addition, the coupled analysis also includes the effect of distortion on the electrical-thermal analysis.

I am trying to render cities on the map, using Geonames' dataset (source). I have downloaded the top 10000 cities as a GeoJSON file, and loaded it into QGIS. However, when I zoom out, this shows too many points: they completely fill the map.
I have enabled labels, and there is the option under Layer Properties › Labels › Rendering › Feature Options to limit the number of features rendered. This way, only the largest cities in an area will be labelled (I have set render priority to be based on population), but when I zoom in I can see more city names appear.
Is it possible to apply a similar limit to the symbols themselves? Can I hide all but the largest 100 cities within the viewport? I do not want to hard-code limits for population and zoom level, because I would like cities in less populous areas to appear sooner when zooming in there.
There are several ways I can think of to address this situation using the Expression Builder, or even using a custom python function. Because of the size of the layer, however, these can be incredibly resource-intensive.
There is, thankfully, an easier, sneakier way, using the label settings you've already established. This will result in label text which is fixed in its position, but this can be addressed with a few extra steps. Here's how it works:
 1. On the Background tab, enable label backgrounds.
 2. Choose Marker Symbol as the background type.
 3. Adjust the symbology of the marker as necessary.
 4. Adjust symbol placement and offsets so that marker symbol is properly placed.
 - You'll want to choose "offset from point" under Placement, and choose for the label to be placed directly on top of the point.
 - If you're labeling the city name using the same layer, make sure that whatever offset you choose to move the text off of the point, that the inverse of that offset is applied to the background marker symbol.
 5. (Optional) Get dynamic label text back.
 1. Set the label text to a single whitespace character.
 2. Duplicate the layer.
 3. On the new layer, remove the marker symbol, and re-set the label text to the "name" field, or whichever you are using.
 4. Adjust the labeling properties on the new layer to get the text to your liking. You may need to change some of the labeling priority weights between the two layers.
background marker symbol
In my map, I offset the "label" by -4. By offsetting the background marker symbol by +4, the point will render directly on top of the geometry feature.
And here are the results. I've left the actual feature layer being rendered just to show that it is highlighting the larger population points correctly. With this label setting, I can actually opt to uncheck the Enable symbol layer box on the symbology tab, and let the label points take their place entirely.
full extent
And here's the same setup at a much broader scale, with the point features no longer being rendered.
In fact, the rendering style cluster does something similar, only that points that are too close are not suppressed, but clustered in a separate symbol. However, you can use this at least as a workaround by adapting to your needs.
Choose clustering as rendering style for your points layer. Than define your cluster symbol and set it as completely transparent. Define the distance for clustering, so all points that are closer than this value will be clustered - and thus be transparent.
Alternatively, you could also use a date-driven size for the cluster, defining in an expression the conditions when size should be 0 (thus invisible). Also play around with Control feature rendering order, see: _URL_

Snapchat. One of those revolutionary apps that made an undeniable impact on the way social media apps work. Firstly introduced as iOS exclusive, later take a significant role within Android, too. And suddenly, it started declining to levels that make it almost unusable. Android users report Snapchat crashes, stutters, and overall poor performance. If you are among them, we have a few things to try and mitigate these issues, if not outright solve them.
Table of contents:
How to resolve Snapchat stutters and crashes on Android
If your Snapchat lags, stutters, or crashes on Android, make sure to clear data from the app, reinstall Snapchat, or roll back to an older version via an APK.
It goes without saying that you should be connected to a stable Wi-Fi network or mobile data network. Learn more below.
1. Clear apps cache and data
Let's start with the acknowledged route. Cache and data are there for a reason. Data is, obviously, everything you or the app itself stores on the internal storage. Cache, on the other hand, is there to speed the app's loading time and it contains temporary files. Both are important and both, sadly, can sometimes cause issues.
Follow the instructions below to clear both Data and Cache from the Snapchat app:
- Tap Settings.
- Open Apps or Application Manager.
- Open All apps.
- Tap Snapchat.
- Open Storage.
- Clear Cache and Data.
- Restart your device.
After that, you might need to sign in again with your credentials. If nothing changed and Snapchat still crashes, move through the additional steps.
2. Reinstall the Snapchat app
Even though the Android platform is much more homogenous nowadays, system update or structural changes within the system can affect the behavior of certain apps. And if an app is in a state in which is Snapchat currently, nothing should surprise you. Reinstallation is one way to address this.
Here's how to reinstall Snapchat on Android:
- Tap and hold the Snapchat app in the App drawer or on the Home screen.
- Drag it to the top and Uninstall it.
- Restart your device.
- Open Play Store.
- Search for Snapchat.
- Install the app.
3. Download older APK version
If the current, or even the latest few versions were causing issues, you can always downgrade by downloading the older, well-performing version. This procedure isn't as simple as roaming through Play Store, but it might help you overcome the current issues you're facing.
Here's what you need to do:
- Navigate to APKMirror, here, and download an older (but recent) APK version of Snapchat. Beta versions are also an option but we suggest avoiding them due to the aforementioned stability issues.
- Uninstall the Snapchat app.
- Allow app installation from external sources.
- Install APK, sign in, and look for improvements.
Don't forget to tell us in the comments section below. Thanks for reading and have a good day.

FUN for kids!
Break Open the Secret of Creating Your Own Crime Scene Mystery Parties
Crime Scene Buster is organized into Nine Steps. Follow the steps and you end up with a CSI mystery event. Some of the steps have three parts: basic, intermediate and advanced. You only need to do the basic steps. If you are interested in more elaborate mystery parties and/or the mechanics of putting it together, then read the intermediate and advanced sections. The intermediate and advanced sections are not necessary to this book but I feel so passionate and excited about mysteries, that once I start on the topic, I have a hard time stopping!
THE CRIME for children's mystery parties is usually about something being stolen. The stolen item is found at the end of the game. A different crime can be used if you wish. We will use a theft for the crime example but you can just as easily pick a murder for parties with older participants. The format remains the same.
This format is based solely on clues found at the crime scene. Figuring out who had the motives, methods, and opportunity to commit the crime is a more complicated structure and not covered in this book. This book is all about the clues.

Arcturis is a level 74 spirit beast found in Grizzly Hills. He's one of the four Spirit Beasts known, and is the first Spirit Beast to have the look of a bear.
Trivia Edit
 - The name Arcturis is likely inspired by the name Arcturus, the name of the brightest star in the constellation Boötes, which in turn is derived from the Greek word άρκτος, meaning "bear".
 - Arcturus is also the name of a villain from Starcraft, Arcturus Mengsk
Notes Edit
 - Despite being a rare creature, Arcturis is not on the list of creatures needed for the Achievement zone stormpeaks 03 [Northern Exposure] or the Achievement zone dragonblight 09 [Frostbitten] achievements. He was solely added as a hunter pet.
 - Arcturis is rumored to be on a 21 hour spawn timer that begins from time of kill/tame. This timer DOES reset with server downs and maintenance days.
 - Although, spawn times have been reported from as short of a time as 6 hours, to longer times, upwards of 72 hours.

Property Registration System in China: Theory, Practice and Future Challenges
27 Pages Posted: 14 Oct 2013
Date Written: October 14, 2013
This article aims to provide a general understanding of Chinese property registration system combining an institutional analysis with a selected case study. By conducting a case study, it attempts to assess the extent to which the property registration system is considered appropriate and effective by the market users and legal actors responsible for enforcing it. However, this article is not a quantitative study in the sense that collecting empirical data to examine black-letter provisions' application relative to objective performance indicators. It attempts to depict a general picture of the system by answering the following questions: whether Chinese property registration system is a mandatory registration system or voluntary recordation system? What is its property transfer theory underpinning the system of land registration? How close it is related to Torrens system? The answers will be provided in Part B and C of this paper. In the remaining sections, a survey carried out in Qingdao on Qingdao's registration system will be presented with the aim to illustrate the functionality of the property registration system in China.

Did you know that Hook Grasses can control water loss by folding up their leaves?
Contrary to their common name, Hook Grasses are not grasses but Sedges and they belong to the family Cyperaceae. Sedges are commonly found in wet or poorly drained habitats. Hook Grasses, however, can be found in a much greater diversity of habitats.
In New Zealand, Hook Grasses can grow in costal scrub, forests, swamps, grasslands or herbfields in sub-alpine and alpine habitats.
Although Hook Grasses have colonised drier habitats, water is still important for their survival and they use a very clever system, operated by so-called bulliform cells, to regulate water loss. Bulliform cells are large, bubble-shaped cells found in the upper surface of the leaves. In Hook Grasses these cells are found all along the midrib.
When water availability is low, these cells shrink causing the leaf blade to fold. Each side of the leaf blade, at either side of the midrib, moves towards each other like closing a book. By folding their leaves these sedges reduce the area exposed to sunlight and therefore water loss by evaporation.
This mechanism allows water to be maintained inside the plant. Once water is available again, these cells enlarge and the leaf blade unfolds again.


How many helicopters crashed in Vietnam?
According to the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association, a total of 11,846 helicopters were shot down or crashed during the war, resulting in nearly 5,000 American pilots and crew killed. Of those servicepeople, 2,382 were killed while serving aboard UH-1 Iroquois, better known as the ubiquitous "Huey."
How many Huey helicopters were lost in Vietnam?
During the war 7,013 UH-1s served in Vietnam and of these 3,305 were destroyed. In total 1,074 Huey pilots were killed, along with 1,103 other crew members.
What was the life expectancy of a 2nd Lieutenant in Vietnam?
For the average life expectancy to be 16 minutes, it would mean for every 2nd Lieutenant that survived a year (525,000 minutes,) 30,000 or so would have to die in 1 minute. Did hundreds of millions of 2nd Lieutenants die in Vietnam?
How many tanks were lost in Vietnam?
On average 11,000 small arms, 68 tanks, and 30 aircraft were lost each day. Entries are listed below in alphanumeric order. During the Vietnam War, thousands of U.S. aircraft were lost to antiaircraft artillery (AAA), surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), and fighter interceptors ()s.
