Here's What You Can Substitute For Corn Syrup
High-fructose corn syrup is often maligned by nutritionists, but regular old corn syrup is a classic ingredient in recipes like pecan pie, homemade candy, and other sweet treats. So, what's one to do if they go to do their once-a-year holiday baking, only to discover that they're out of corn syrup? Luckily, there are a few substitutions you can use.
Corn syrup is used for a couple of different reasons in recipes. For one, it's sweet, so it adds a sugary flavor to your food. For two, it's an invert sugar (via David Lebovitz). This means that, when used in conjunction with regular sugar, it helps prevent crystallization, something you want to avoid when making smooth caramels and gooey pecan pies. So, what can you substitute for corn syrup when you run out?
The best corn syrup substitutes
The easiest corn syrup substitute, and one that's made with pantry staples, is made by dissolving 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar in 1/4 cup hot water, to make a substitute for one cup of corn syrup (via MyRecipes).
That will give you the viscosity and sweetness you need to replicate corn syrup in most baked good recipes, but it won't help prevent sugar crystallization, so it's best to use something else in candy and caramel recipes.
You can use brown rice syrup or golden syrup, both invert sugars, as a corn syrup substitute when making caramels and candies (via Epicurious). Both have their own flavor profile — brown rice syrup tastes slightly nutty and toasted, while golden syrup has a buttery flavor — but those flavors work well in caramel-type applications.
If you don't need to worry about sugar crystallization, you can try using agave nectar, honey, or cane syrup in your recipe. They have the same ooey-gooey texture as corn syrup, and are about the same level of sweetness.
The next time you run out of corn syrup, don't panic. Chances are you have a corn syrup substitute already waiting in your pantry.

A transect is a path along which one counts and records occurrences of the phenomena of study (e.g. plants).
It requires an observer to move along a fixed path and to count occurrences along the path and, at the same time (in some procedures), obtain the distance of the object from the path. This results in an estimate of the area covered and an estimate of the way in which detectability increases from probability 0 (far from the path) towards 1 (near the path). Using the raw count and this probability function, one can arrive at an estimate of the actual density of objects.
The estimation of the abundance of populations (such as terrestrial mammal species) can be achieved using a number of different types of transect methods, such as strip transects, line transects, belt transects, point transects and curved line transects.
New Urbanist town planners use the term transect to refer to the continuum of land uses from an urban core to a rural boundary. General New Urban transect classifications (from highest to lowest density) are: urban core, urban centre, general urban, suburban, rural, and natural.

Does Vinegar Kill Weeds to the Root?
Does Vinegar Kill Weeds to the Root?
Unfortunately, vinegar does not kill weeds to the root. While vinegar will degrade the biological material that weeds are made up of, this will typically only end up killing the leaves of older plants. That being said, there are some weeds that can be killed down to the root by vinegar.
In most cases, you'd be better off trying to kill younger weeds with vinegar, as seedlings tend to be less resilient than their fully-grown counterparts.
When you decide to start gardening, most people don't tell you about the many headaches that you can expect to experience while tending to your garden.
Pests are just the start of your issues, and it seems like once you finally manage to find a solution to them, you'll have to contend with an entirely different source of difficulties.
Weeds are the bane of any gardener or lawn-keeper. They make your garden or lawn look worse and they siphon crucial nutrients and water away from the plants that you actually want to see thriving.
Unfortunately, weeds are some hardy plants, and it can be tough to find a non-toxic way to deal with them.
In today's guide, we're going to take a look at one of these non-toxic methods, specifically, we're going to explore whether you can kill weeds to the root with vinegar.
We'll explore using different kinds of vinegar to kill weeds to the root and even take a look at some alternatives that you have available.
Does Vinegar Kill Weeds Permanently?
Theoretically, vinegar should be able to permanently kill weeds because it is a desiccant.
This means that it dries out the things that it touches, especially if it comes into contact with biological material like the cells that make up a plant.
The acetic acid in vinegar will gradually dry out each cell that it comes into contact with until the organism dies.
Most vinegars made for human consumption contain between 5% and 7% acetic acid, making them both safe to handle and environmentally friendly.
In theory, this means that you should be able to effectively kill any weeds in your yard or garden with a liberal application of your choice of vinegar.
Unfortunately, it doesn't ever quite work out this way because of how long vinegar lasts in soil. Since the acetic acid in vinegar will quickly wear away in soil, it won't be able to last long enough to do any lasting harm to the roots.
The very fact that acetic acid gets neutralized by soil is one of the main reasons why it's one of the most environmentally friendly weed killers.
The acid won't end up lingering long enough to do any lasting damage to any of the ecosystem, including other plants, pollinators like bees, and more.
To sum it up, the only kind of weed that you can expect tabletop vinegar to kill permanently is a seedling, as it won't have grown enough to be able to resist the vinegar enough to survive.

How Long Does it Take for Vinegar to Kill Weeds?
After preparing a spray bottle full of white vinegar to get some weeds out of your garden, you may be wondering exactly how much time you'll spend on the task.
The actual time you spend spraying the vinegar will be variable, as that will depend on the size of the yard that you're working on.
You'll start to see the leaves on the weeds drying out and dying away within the first few hours after you spray your solution on them. Hardier weeds may last a little longer before you start noticing the signs of them drying away.
In these cases, you may have to wait for up to 24 hours before you start seeing an effect.
Keep in mind that the yellowing and drying of the leaves doesn't necessarily mean that the weed is dead in the first place.
If you neglect to keep reapplying vinegar to the plant, then you'll notice that the plant will start getting healthier by the day until the leaves that were supposedly gone start growing back.
To keep the plant dead, come back to it every day and keep spraying it with vinegar on the days that you see the plant trying to sprout a new set of leaves.
Keep in mind that there's no guarantee that this method will kill the plant permanently, as you'll need to take out the roots to be truly effective.
What About 20% Vinegar?
So far, we've only discussed using tabletop vinegar to attack the root systems that are sustaining the weeds in your garden.
However, there is also horticultural vinegar, which is about four times more acidic than the kind of vinegar that we would normally consume. While using horticultural vinegar is safer than using commercial weed killers, it is still dangerous.
The vinegar that we put in our food is already highly acidic, but when the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar reaches about 20%, it becomes nearly too dangerous to handle.
You certainly want to avoid using 20% vinegar if you don't have protective gear like goggles, gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt.
This is because 20% vinegar can cause chemical burns on contact with your skin. It being more powerful also makes it more effective at killing weeds down to the root.
Unfortunately, 20% vinegar won't work anywhere near as effectively as commercial weed killers because of how easily it disperses.
Even large amounts of 20% vinegar in your soil will likely not get to the root of the weeds that are plaguing you, so this is not as reliable of a method as you may expect it to be.
Also, be wary of getting 20% vinegar on any of your tools, as it can corrode metal, wood, and even concrete.
Does Apple Cider Vinegar Kill Weeds?
If 20% vinegar doesn't do the trick, maybe apple cider vinegar will. Apple cider vinegar has been touted in recent years for its healthy properties, but can it also be a versatile enough tool to see use in your garden?
Considering apple cider vinegar tends to contain between 5% and 6% acetic acid, it's a little on the weak side.
Compared to other kinds of vinegar that you may have available in the pantry, apple cider vinegar isn't much more or less effective because of its similar acetic acid levels.
Much like other kinds of vinegar, the most you can expect from apple cider vinegar is to kill the plant's leaves.
You can expect to wait for about a day for apple cider vinegar to kill the leaves on a plant, but you may see new leaves sprouting out within the next few days after that.
As with any other weed-killing method, you have to either kill or remove the root to make your efforts permanent.
Does Vinegar, Epsom Salt, and Dawn Dish Soap Really Kill Weeds?
Epsom salt is one of the most effective ways to kill any type of plant because of how it sucks the moisture out of the surrounding soil.
However, there's a reason that "salt the earth" has become a relatively common saying since it's very unlikely that anything will grow on salted soil for a long time to come.
Mixing salt into vinegar and dawn dish soap will make for an effective weed killer, but it will also kill anything else that you try to plant in that bit of land.
Salt is so insidious in soil because it doesn't take effect instantly, so you may not know the extent of the damage you caused until it's too late.
By the time ten days have gone by, the salt will have made its way into the earth, making it impossible for anything else to grow there, though it will also have killed any existing weeds.
Unlike vinegar, salt also won't be neutralized over time, making that plot of land a dead zone for years to come.
What Kills Grass and Weeds Permanently?
If you're looking to get rid of the weeds in your yard or garden permanently, then you may not be satisfied with the performance of vinegar, despite its safety and eco-friendliness.
Unfortunately, if vinegar was such a convenient way to kill weeds, everyone would be doing it by now.
Instead, due to the relative ineffectiveness of vinegar, gardeners tend to resort to chemical weed killers which can penetrate deep into the root system and destroy the weeds from within.
The downside to this approach is that you may end up damaging other plants in the area and even potentially rendering them toxic, based on the weed killer formula that you're using.
If you don't like the idea of potentially poisoning all of your other plants while trying to kill some weeds, then you can start killing weeds the old-fashioned way: by uprooting them.
While pulling weeds out by their roots may be a bit more challenging than just pouring something on them, it's a much safer alternative to using chemical weed killers.

Ruby XML Builder prefixes
This is a topic I've come across a few times now, and more recently turned up when someone asked a question in an IRC channel (it was either _TAG_ or _TAG_ on, I can't quite remember which now). The basic problem was that they wanted to output an XML prefix to the tags generated with Builder. Anyone who has used Builder will be familiar with it's syntax:
xml.someTag do
xml.anotherTag "tag content"
and can see that this doesn't work with a tag prefixed with an xml namespace, which includes a : (this being a special character in ruby). So what is the solution? The person asking the question actually got the answer from several people that it wasn't possible, but that didn't seem right. And it turns out that it is perfectly possible, it just requires a slightly more verbose syntax. Instead of
you need to do
xml.tag! "somePrefix:someTag"
where the tag! function on an XML Builder object takes a string representing the entire tag and outputs it as is.
It turns out the consideration of the Builder creators didn't stop there. They have functions to allow for the full range of standard XML to be created. Need a CDATA field? use xml.cdata!, need to add, comments? Use xml.comment!, need to create a node with mixed text and child nodes? Use xml.text! like so:
xml.myNode do
xml.myChildNode "awesome"
xml.text! "More awesome"
All of these are supported with functions with a! at the end, which keeps them nice and separate from tags that you would typically create.
And to really add to the point that these things were considered by the Builder creators, they even have a simpler form for using prefixes in XML now. You simply add a space between the prefix and the : to create an expression like:
xml.myPrefix :myElement, "look at this!"
or in more common ruby language, if you pass a symbol as the first argument when creating a tag, it will take the tag as a namespace prefix and the symbol as the actual tag name.
So yes, it is possible to add prefixes with Builder, and more than possible, it's simple! There's no excuse for saying it can't be done.

annoying space between an image and table bottom
Anybody got ideas how to eliminate space between the bottom line of an image and the bottom line of a table?
gives unneeded and unexpected thin line between the image and and the bottom of the table, at least in my IE6.
Same phenomenon can be seen when you write text instead of placing an image, and there the extra space suits, but my goal is to place the image at the bottom of the table. Thanks for help

An ideas bank is a website where people post, exchange, discuss, and polish new ideas. Some of these are for the purpose of developing new inventions or technologies. Many corporations are also installing internal ideas banks to gather the input from their employees. Some of those systems also use a voting system to estimate ideas value. In some cases, ideas banks can be more humor-oriented than their more serious counterparts. The underlying theory of an ideas bank is that if a large group of people collaborate on a project or the development of an idea that eventually said project or idea will reach perfection in the eyes of those who worked on it.

Simply it is an attempt to eat a healthy diet to gain weight, whilst minimising fat gains. The basic principle of bulking to to consume more calories than you expend. Typically a bulking diet will consist of around 6-8 meals per day, spread out every 2-3 hours. A cleverly structured diet will show the breakdown of carbs,protein and fats. Typical bulking calories usually range from aroun 3000 to 6000 and should be tailored to the needs of the individual and specific goals.
Many bodybuilders/individuals will bulk over the winter season and then cut (cutting diet) in the summer. Cutting to cut down on the fat gain by a bulking diet. In general (except n00b gains) it is exceptionally hard to gain weight and loose bodyfat at the same time (excluding the use of steroids+genetics) therefore you cannot bulk and cut at the same time! You can use variety such as cylical bulking e.g. Bulk for 4 weeks/Cut for 2 weeks repeat process..this is an attempt to minimise fat gains.

Aid and abet
What's the meaning of the phrase 'Aid and abet'?
To help and encourage, usually in the commission of a crime or anti-social act.
What's the origin of the phrase 'Aid and abet'?
'Aid and abet' is a common enough expression but, whilst 'aid' is well-known, what does 'abet' mean exactly? The word derives from the French 'abeter' - to hound, which itself derives from the Norse 'beita' - to cause to bite.
The phrase 'aid and abet' was coined in the late 18th century, by which time the term 'abet' had lost its original 'cause to bite' meaning. An early example of its use dates from 1798, when George Washington included it in a letter, first published in Writings, 1893. He didn't appear to have any better opinion of the French than that of the US administration concerning the Gallic reluctance to aid and abet the war in Iraq:
"My mind is not a little agitated by the outrageous conduct of France towards the United States, and at the inimitable conduct of its partisans, who aid and abet their measures."
Bear baiting, or as it was first called 'bear abetting', was a popular entertainment in England between the 16th and 19th centuries. It took place in pits in 'bear gardens', in which tethered bears were torn to pieces by trained bulldogs. Such pits were commonplace and some still exist, although they are of course no longer in use.
This'sport' wasn't viewed with the distaste we now have for animal cruelty - Queen Elizabeth I condoned the practice by attending baitings, one of which resulted in 13 dead bears. The Elizabethan writer Robert Laneham described the scene:
"It was a sport very pleasant to see, to see the bear, with his pink eyes, tearing after his enemies approach... and when he was loose to shake his ears twice or thrice with the blood and the slaver hanging about his physiognomy."
So, if you plan to help someone, aid them by all means, but no biting please.

Texas Physics Consortium
Texas Physics Consortium (TPC) is a group of Physics Departments that pool faculty expertise and institutional resources to provide access to quality upper-level undergraduate and graduate physics courses. The TPC use of pooled resources provides their students with the wide range of upper level physics courses usually available at only large institutions while maintaining the intimate student-faculty interaction of a small department. The TPC has submitted an application to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for all TPC institutions except Commerce to award a single Joint BS Physics Degree. If the proposal is approved, the TPC would become the third largest producer of B.S. Physics Graduates in Texas.
Instructional Delivery Methods
The Texas Physics Consortium uses multiple instructional methods to provide instruction to students in each course based upon course content and the location and needs of the student. Methods used include:
- Face-to-Face instruction - At a student's local campus
- Trans Texas Video Network - live interactive video to students on remote campus sites
- live Webcasts from Texas A&M System - non-interactive method for delivery to student's home or workplace using the Internet
- streaming archived video on Texas A&M System Media Matrix - non-interactive mode for students unable to make class
- interactive web conferencing and archived video using Saba Centra - for nuclear engineering courses out of Texas A&M
While interactive instruction is always best, for students with geographical, work or family conflicts, non-interactive live classroom instruction using a personal computer or anytime asynchronous instruction through streaming video or Saba Centra enables students to complete the degree without delay.
Unlike most undergraduate physics programs, the breadth of the Texas Physics Consortium enables students access to every required upper-level physics course in the Joint BS Degree on an annual rather than bi-annual rotation. This provides flexibility for course scheduling making it easier for students to complete the degree in less time than would otherwise be possible.

text: Misalignment is one of the key reasons for vibrations in most of the rotating system. The present study focuses on interactions among speed, load, and defect severity by investigating their effect on the system vibration. Response surface methodology (RSM) with root-mean-square (RMS) as a response factor is used to understand the influence of such interactions on the system performance. Experiments are planned using design of experiments, and analysis is carried out using analysis of variance (ANOVA). It is observed that speed has a remarkable effect on RMS value in both parallel and angular types of misalignment and affects the system performance. RSM results revealed that a change in load has less impact on vibration amplitude in case of horizontal and vertical directions, but there is a significant variation in RMS value in axial direction for both types of misalignment. A slight increase in the RMS value with an increase in defect severity is observed in the axial direction. These observations will help to understand the misalignment defect and its effect in a better way.

(Ethel Portnoy) The Low Countries - 2004, № 12, pp. 98-102
When transsexuals claim they were born in the wrong body, Portnoy can understand how they feel. Growing up in the USA, she felt that she had been born in the wrong place. She had known since childhood that she wanted to be a writer, and since adolescence that Europe was where she rightfully belonged. Everything that interested her seemed to have originated there. Although her parents had come from Europe to the United States, she felt that she must migrate in the opposite direction. That decision turned out to be the luckiest one she ever made.

The board resolution of a Dutch company
This legal blog provides information about board resolutions of a Dutch company (BV): when do the laws of the Netherlands require a formal corporate decision and how is it taken?
Corporate decision making in the Netherlands
From our Dutch company law practice it has become clear that concluding a board resolution by Dutch companies raises questions. This mostly concerns the Dutch limited liability company (the BV) and Dutch public limited liability company (the NV, similar to the similar to the Anglo-Saxon Plc or Inc).
The legal requirements under Dutch law regarding executive board decisions are not always clear, even to Dutch lawyers. Also the reasons why such resolutions should best be concluded, are not always evident. But for Dutch corporate governance and director liability purposes, it is quite important that board members and their advisors understand the rules and that the best practices in the Netherlands are adhered to. For this reason, we have written this blog and we include a template board resolution under Dutch law (link provided below).
This blog addresses questions such as: what is a board resolution and how is it concluded for a Dutch legal entity. Which officers of a Dutch company play a role in the decision making process? In which events is a formal resolution obligated under the laws of the Netherlands and when is it advisable. What are the legal consequences when a formal decision has not been taken or not taken correctly?
What is a board resolution under Dutch law?
A board resolution is a resolution of the board of directors of a Dutch company, generally a Dutch limited liability company (Dutch acronym: BV) but it is essentially the same for all Dutch legal entities. The (executive) board consists of people or legal entities who have been appointed upon or incorporation or later by means of a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders of the BV. The decision of the board as a corporate body constitutes a board resolution and not the decision of a single board member. Such corporate decision can be taken in a physical meeting, but also through a phone or video call. An alternative can be that the board resolution is concluded 'outside a meeting', i.e. a written resolution that is concluded by all the board members.
Why is a board resolution for a Dutch company necessary?
Under Dutch company law, board members have a collective responsibility for the management of a company. To achieve the corporate purpose of the company, the executive board will devise a corporate strategy that translates to the numerous decisions that a company at the top lever, i.e. the board, will make. A formal decision of the management or executive board may simply be required by Dutch corporate law, the Articles of Association or director's regulations / bylaws. Board resolutions also serve the purpose of explaining how the board is taking responsibility for achieving its tasks. Also with respect to accountability and (warding of) director's liability under the laws of the Netherlands, board resolutions are essential for the corporate household.
When is a board resolution mandatory under Dutch law?
Under the corporate laws of the Netherlands, only few occasions exist when an executive board decision is actually required. This is for instance the case for resolutions that require the approval of the non-executive board (also called the supervisory board in the Netherlands) or of the works council. Also, the Articles of Association of a Dutch company, board regulations, governance codes and market practice may require that a (written) board decision is taken. In any case, the principle of better being safe than sorry applies here: a board of directors will generally reduce the possibility of director's liability when its resolutions are well documented. In practice, this is generally not done at all or not properly and this is the source of (too) many conflicts in the Netherlands between -especiallythe board and the shareholders.
How to conclude a board resolution of a Dutch company?
Dutch company law and the Articles of Association of the BV provide how a board resolution should be taken. Some corporate matters will require the involvement and approval of the general meeting of shareholders, the works council and / or the supervisory board.
Each board member can cast one vote. Also, a decision by the executive board needs to meet the principle of fairness and equitability and its needs to be the 'fruit of sufficient deliberation'. This means that board members can not be excluded from the decision making process.
That said, this is different for directors who have a personal interest that conflicts with the corporate interest. Such management board members may not partake in the decision making process nor in the voting, unless the Articles of Association of the Dutch company stipulate otherwise. A board resolution does not need to be in writing, unless on the basis of the Articles or a shareholders agreement. We deem it advisable to always conclude written board decisions.
Minutes of a board meeting of a Dutch company should include the date and location of the board meeting, an attendee list, the method of voting and a clear description of what has been decided. It is sensible that the board minutes also provide context relating the decision making.
If the formal rules are not adhered to, a board resolution may be annulled or declared null and void. In order to prevent this, we refer to our template board resolution for a Dutch company (download).
Can a Dutch court overrule or annul a board decision?
A board resolution can have far reaching consequences for a Dutch enterprise and the parties involved. As an example, the board may decide to replace its workforce by self-employed staff. This has happened in the Netherlands with IT driven food delivery services. For this reason, Dutch law provides that corporate decisions need to be reached diligently after weighing the relevant interests. A board decision that has not been concluded according to the formal rules may be declared null and void by a Dutch court of law. Also, a resolution of the management board can be scrutinized by the enterprise chamber of the Amsterdam court, which is a specialized court for Dutch corporate law matters.
A board resolution that contravenes directly with Dutch company law or with the company's Articles of Association is null and void. A Dutch corporate lawyer would consider it non-existent and, thus, the company can not execute such a decision and nobody can enforce it. An example of a resolution that Is null and void is when the articles of incorporation stipulate an increased majority of votes and such majority is not met. Such decision is deemed not be taken.
A board decision that is not concluded in accordance with certain formalities is not null and void by operation of law, but in can be declared null and void by a ruling of a Dutch court upon the request of an interested party, including the board. Until such court ruling, the decision of the board is valid. An example is a resolution that is not in accordance with board regulations / bylaws. The possibility to challenge a board decision of the executive / management board of a company in the Netherlands lapses after one year.
If there are good reasons to doubt the actions or inactions of a management board, there is the possibility to test the policies of the board before the enterprise chamber with the Amsterdam court through the so-called inquiry procedure. A court appointed specialist may scrutinize the policy and actions of the board and the court may suspend or annul the execution of board resolutions.
Checklist and template for board resolution of a Dutch company
We have drafted a template for a board resolution of a company in the Netherlands. The example board decision in can be accessed through this link. We also recommend using the following checklist to conclude a proper board resolution under Dutch corporate law:
 1. Who are the board members who have been appointed by the general meeting of shareholders? Which board members need to be involved in the relevant decision making process?
 2. Does the corporate resolution need the (prior) approval of the shareholders meeting or the supervisory board / non-executive board?
 3. Is there a member of the board who has a conflict of interest regarding the proposed resolution? If yes, how is this being dealt with since as a principle such board member may not partake in the decision making process? Check the Articles of Association and the board regulations on this point.
 4. Has the management board received specific instructions from the supervisory board or the shareholders meeting regarding the subject that is being decided on?
 5. Does the works council has an advisory or information right regarding the resolution's topic?
 6. Did the board weigh the relevant interests and have the interests of the company been taken into account?
 7. Make sure that proper minutes of the board meeting are being made that reflect both the resolutions and the relevant considerations of the board.

Corktown Historic District
Corktown Historic District
Bagley Street in Corktown
|Architectural style:||Colonial Revival, Late Victorian, Federal|
|Added to NRHP:||July 31, 1978|
Corktown is the oldest neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan, although the city of Detroit is twice as old. The current boundaries of the current district include I-75 to the north, the Lodge Freeway to the east, Bagley and Porter streets to the south, and Rosa Parks Boulevard (12th Street) to the west. The neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The Corktown Historic District is largely residential, although some commercial properties along Michigan Avenue are included in the district.
The roots of Corktown lie in the Great Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s. The Irish immigrated to the United States in droves, and by the middle of the 19th century, they were the largest ethnic group settling in Detroit. Many of these newcomers settled on the west side of the city; they were primarily from County Cork, and thus the neighborhood came to be known as Corktown. By the early 1850s, half of the population of the 8th Ward (which contained Corktown) were of Irish descent. Historically, the neighborhood was roughly bounded by Third Street to the east, Grand River Avenue to the north, 12th Street to the west, and Jefferson Avenue/Detroit River to the south.
By the Civil War, German immigrants had begun making inroads into the Corktown neighborhood. By the turn of the century, the original Irish population had diffused through the city, and other immigrants, notably Mexican and Maltese, moved in. As the century progressed, southern migrants in the U.S. lured by the jobs in the automobile industry followed suit.
The residential section is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as a City of Detroit Historic District. The neighborhood contains many newer homes and retains some original Irish businesses.
The original buildings in Corktown are Federal-style detached homes and rowhouses built by Irish settlers. A worker's row house circa 1840 is located on Sixth Street and is one of the oldest existing structures in the city of Detroit. In further years, modestly sized Victorian townhouses with Italianate, Gothic, and Queen Anne elements were constructed.

I am trying to do this by setting up the transparency of the layer, but the markers seem unaffected by this change.
Any ideas?

Depending on what effect you are looking for. Possibly one workaround is to make other layers transparent and move your point layer down in the TOC. I have never seen anything like this other than a hollow symbol with no fill. – Brad Nesom Dec 30 '10 at 14:27

The best way to import symbols in a map document is to use EMF format. This will maintain the vectors, allow resizing in ArcMap without loss of quality. Since there is no "background" to a vector drawing, it will appear correctly transparent in ArcMap.
Alternately, you can make the bitmap marker method work by filling the "transparent" background portions of your symbol with a key colour that does not appear elsewhere in your image be aware that using bitmap markers may adversely affect output quality.

Is the EMF format the only image format in Layout that supports transparency still (Mid-2012)? – Roy Jun 1 '12 at 17:48
You are going to the marker layer's properties Display tab and changing the transparency, correct? As I'm guessing you know this is the main way to change the transparency of any layer, including marker symbols. If that doesn't work, I wonder if you don't have have some kind of read-only problem. May be worth trying to copy that layer and paste it in as a new layer and try to change the transparency on the new copied layer.

How scary might it look if you thought you had already turned off the electric stove, but it continuously made noise?
Of course, there is a reasonable cause why your electric stove behaves that way and keeps on clicking when off.
Can an Electric Oven Making Clicking Noises Indicate Danger?
Not at all. An oven or a furnace making a clicking noise is standard when you engage the oven igniter. Once it is engaged, you can hear around 3 to 5 clicks before the burner reaches the constant heating level.
Check oven fan motor is working. A conventional gas oven has an electric fan to assist in controlling the heat.
PRO TIP: Noisy electric stove igniters could be dirty. When cooking, dirt and grime can collect around the spark ignition switch and stay there for a while. When stuck for long, this mess will choke on the knob and prevent it from turning smoothly.
Before you proceed into the delusion that something weird is going on with your stove, it is better to keep calm and that this kind of situation is simple to solve.
Next Read: Why My Microwave Making Popping Noise?
Perhaps, before we can answer why electric stoves make noise, it is better to ask, "do electric stoves click"?
Reasons Behind Electric Stoves Making Noise When Off
To completely get enlightened on how an electric stove can make a noise is to get familiar with the parts.
Your electric stove mainly has the following parts:
- Burners or coils
- Burner cap
- Induction cooktop; gas cooktop for gas range
- Control panel: Manual control panel includes knobs, while the digital control panel depends on flat panels.
- Drip pan
- Control knobs
The most important part of an electric stove is the heating units or heating elements. The coil or burner, burner cover, and drip pan comprise the electric stove's heating element.
Conventional electric stoves and even a gas stoves have a manual control knob, a mechanical timer, and a burner grate. Digital electric stoves have a different design. And it also depends on the brand of electric stove you have at home.
For example, the Wolf igniter keeps clicking when off, which means something in the control knob prevents it from returning to its normal position. Make sure that there is nothing stuck into it, and check if the clicking sound continues.
Most of the clicking sound from an electric stove would come from control knobs but in other parts.
Let's find them.
- Food debris around manual igniters.
- Moisture buildup.
- Internal electrical malfunction on burners.
Common Electric Stove Noise and Troubleshooting:
Electric Stove Making a Buzzing Noise
Old electric stoves have conventional electric coils. These burner coils will produce will buzz, rattle, or vibrate when heating up due to the welding design on the heating element.
Electric Hob Making a Clicking Noise
The clicking or ticking noise on the hob is normal. But when it becomes a ticking noise, it could be that the hob design does not fit perfectly.
Next Read: Gas Oven Sounds Like a Blowtorch : [5 Easy Ways to Fix]
The ticking noise could also come from the initial coil heating as it revs up as the heat reacts to the metal material of the cooktop.
The coils of your electric stove are made of metal. So when the coils start to heat while cooking, it will produce a popping sound when something hits the coil. Since coils are scorching and cool down gradually, they will typically make noise when attracted to an opposite temperature. To solve?
Let it cool down before attempting to clean it.
Avoid spilling food debris on the coils, especially when hot.
It is normal to hear a humming noise from your electric stove when turning it on the first time. This humming sound or buzzing noise continues while the coils are burning.
If the humming sound increases and does not stop, there could be something wrong with the coil or its attachment to the hob.
The sparking noise coming from your electric stove could result from loose wiring or defective heating elements. Most of the parts in the heating element are metal, so any loose connection could initiate a spark anytime.
A broken spark plug or spark electrode can produce a spark in seconds. Do not splice on your own, as handling electrical matters is deadly. Call an experienced electrician or bring your electric stove for repair.
The ticking noise from your electric stove could come from the internal settings of the switch. This means that there is an electrical malfunction happening inside the wiring of the controller button.
Let your professional stove dealer or repairman check the electrical wiring of your stove and fix the issue. Don't attempt to do it by yourself.
PRO TIP: Is it dangerous when you hear a clicking noise? Sometimes it is. When the igniter is blocked, it is hazardous for the coil to heat without letup.
Signs You Need a New Electric Stove
When we encounter troubles with our home appliances, such as electric stoves, the first thing in mind is to call the repair guy.
Hoping that your appliance is under warranty, you get to enjoy a free service to fix your electric stove, especially when it is making weird noises.
An electric stove that is beyond repair means you have to say goodbye. Though it is not evident on your part because you are not an expert on electrical matters, here we give you hints that you should start thinking about buying a new electric stove and replacing the broken one.
- Broken plug and fuse box: If after trying to use other outlets but your stove doesn't on, there's something wrong with the electrical circuit breaker or power supply.
- Not heating/rapid heating: if you encounter any of these two electrical issues, have the knobs checked. If they are not the source of non-heating or overheating, it could be loose coils or coil failure. Coils are failing to glow red means you should replace them.
- Scorched countertops: When you notice that the countertop of your stove is turning yellow, it is having trouble controlling the heat. This indicates the cooling fan isn't working anymore or the seal is worn out, and the unit has to go.
How Long Does the Cooling fan on an Electric Cooktop Run?
The cooling fan in an electric stove serves as a supplement to quicken and balance the heat distribution in the cooking. This cooling fan takes a while to cool after cooking. It would take around an hour and a half or less for it to cool down completely.
The other essential purpose of the convection fan wall oven is to dissipate hot air faster. This is effective if you leave the convection oven door open. But if one oven fan blade is broken, it is not that efficient.
- Bad top burners: You can exchange bad burners for working burners. But if the burner still doesn't heat, it could be the socket of the switch.
How Long Does the Surface of an Electric Cooktop Stay Hot?
- The cooling down of your electric stove cooktop depends on how long you use the burners and how many burners you use simultaneously.
- If it takes ten minutes to heat them, it is longer to cool down unless you lower the heat instantly. You can use a cold cloth to wipe the surface if you feel the top has cooled down enough to touch.
- Most electric stoves have indicator lights saying that the burner is off.
Can Electric Stoves Explode?
An explosion will only happen for severe coil or heating element problems. The start of sparks often come from loose wiring connections and defective sockets.
Since the current is a powerful and dangerous energy, it can start a fire with a slight flicker. So, depending on the scenario, yes, electric stoves can explode.
For gas appliances, the spark module is faulty when you see a slight spark between the ignitor and the edge of the gas stove burner.
PRO TIP: Electric stoves last for around 10 to 15 years. An old age stove more than that needs replacing because even parts keep updating in time.
It is your daily life that is at stake here. Don't settle for old and failing electrical appliances such as your electric stove. Take note that cooking is not just an everyday activity, depending on how many times you cook and eat in a day. So it is only expected that your electric stove will burn out from its normal function.
Carelessness is also a factor in why your stove may not be functioning well and creates unusual noises when you cook and even when it is off.
Whatever the case could be, if it is out of the repairman's hands, it is time to shop for a new electric stove to save you money, time, and life. Even the skilled stove technician would recommend the same if he didn't figure out the real issue.
Enjoy your peace of mind while cooking, knowing that you saved a ton of money on needless repairs by purchasing a brand-new unit and protecting your home from fire.
If you wish to find similar articles that deal with sound and noise, you will be surprised that there's more to learn! So keep in the know all the time.
Robert is an electronic engineer with more than five years of experience with a solid affinity for helping people reduce noise. He writes about these silent home appliances and easy soundproofing measures to help everyone avoid the negative effect of extended exposure to high noise levels.

This paper examines through Marianne Hirsch's theory of postmemory and trauma two performance texts by Aboriginal Australian playwright and theatre director Wesley Enoch. This critical theoretical approach argues that in the absence of reliable historical records, the autobiographical structure of Black Medea (2007) and The 7 Stages of Grieving (1996) positions them as individual as well as collective postmemory and trauma accounts. The paper further argues that the use of silence, gestures, storytelling, and theatre serve as vital tools for documenting the generational continuum of the traumatic Aborigine experiences and the struggle in dealing with the inherited burden of intergenerational trauma.

Modify Cloud Compute Infrastructure: Delete Cloud Instance
An adversary may delete a cloud instance after they have performed malicious activities in an attempt to evade detection and remove evidence of their presence. Deleting an instance or virtual machine can remove valuable forensic artifacts and other evidence of suspicious behavior if the instance is not recoverable.
Routinely check user permissions to ensure only the expected users have the capability to delete new instances.
|User Account Management||
Limit permissions for deleting new instances in accordance with least privilege. Organizations should limit the number of users within the organization with an IAM role that has administrative privileges, strive to reduce all permanent privileged role assignments, and conduct periodic entitlement reviews on IAM users, roles and policies.
The deletion of a new instance or virtual machine is a common part of operations within many cloud environments. Events should then not be viewed in isolation, but as part of a chain of behavior that could lead to other activities. For example, detecting a sequence of events such as the creation of an instance, mounting of a snapshot to that instance, and deletion of that instance by a new user account may indicate suspicious activity.
In AWS, CloudTrail logs capture the deletion of an instance in the
TerminateInstances event, and in Azure the deletion of a VM may be captured in Azure activity logs. Google's Admin Activity audit logs within their Cloud Audit logs can be used to detect the usage of
gcloud compute instances delete to delete a VM.

Okay, so here's my question:
Every full 4-ary tree of height 2 has at least ________ vertices and at most ________ vertices.
I know the formula to find the max number of leaves is m^h leaves in an m-ary tree of height h.
However, I don't know how to find max/min number of vertices. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Okay, so I used the max number of leaves formula (m^h) to get the max possible number of leaves for my 4-ary tree. The answer is 16. So, I got to thinking, what if I use the formula n = (ml - 1)/(m-1) (n being vertices, m being the m-ary tree, and l being the leaves). I plugged everything in and got 21. Is this the answer of the max vertices? If so, how do I get the min?


Segmenting the ring region around the nucleus
I'm measuring the ratio of NF-kB intensity in the nucleus to the cytoplasm, but would like to use the 'ring region' (around the nucleus) for the cytoplasm measure.
Currently, my pipeline is as follows:
 - IdentifyPrimaryObjects - segment nuclei using Hoechst stain
 - ExpandOrShrinkObjects - expand nuclei by 4px
 - IdentifyTertiaryObjects - subtract the nucleus region from the expanded region to obtain the ring region
The Problem
 - I would like to constrain the ring region within the boundaries of the cytoplasm. I am able to segment the cytoplasm but unsure how to crop the ring region/expand the nucleus region within the cytoplasm boundaries.
 - Note I am already able to calculate a nucleus to whole cytoplasm ratio but have found better readings in other image analysis software in using the ring region, due to large differences in cytoplasm shape between and within lines.
I very much appreciate any suggestions as I am new to Cell Profiler and keen to use it a lot more from now on! Thank you
Hi _USER_,
If you have the option to get your hands on a ZEN blue software, you can do exactly this by using the so-called Zone-of-Influence Segmenter.
 - select a segmenter to detect your primary object, e.g. the nucleus (use thresholds or machine-learning for this)
 - define the ZOI (yellow)
 - define the ring size and location
 - define what objects (and sub-objects) you want to detect inside the blue ring using thresholding or machine-learning segmentation

Hi _USER_,
Thank you very much for your response and for explaining how to do this in Zen blue. I'm currently able to do this analysis in Columbus (PerkinElmer) software but have switched to CellProfiler as I'm keen to use free open-source software. However, I'll happily take a look at Zen lite for the moment and hope to try out the full version if I ever have access to it! The ZOI tool seems very useful.
Hi _USER_,
Sure. CellProfiler is a very powerful tool, which can achieve the same.
Hi _USER_,
Your current pipeline approach is almost fine, but few changes is required to achieve your target as follows,
 1. Once you expand your nuclei, then use "Mask objects" to mask the expanded nuclei using segmented nuclei (Refer the attached screenshot). This would give you the ring.
 2. In the tertiary object module, get the cytoplamic region by subtracting the nucleus region from the cell boundary (hope you could do this by Identifysecondaryobject module)
 3. In the Measurement module use the ring object to measure intensity from the cytoplasmic channel.
Hope this helps. If not, please attach your pipeline with a sample image so that we could help you better.

Hi _USER_
Thank you very much for your very helpful answer. I'm sorry I don't understand fully how masking the expanded nuclei provides the ring region, and then I'm not sure whether step 2 in your answer is related to step 3.
I've attached sample images that I'm using. I segment the nuclei using the 'DNA binary' image and segment the cells using the 'Actin' image - which is not ideal for cell segmentation but is what I'm using in my experiment.
Actin.tif (3.4 MB) DNA binary.tif (1.7 MB) DNA.tif (3.4 MB) NFkB.tif (3.4 MB)
NFkB ratio.cpproj (918.7 KB)
Hi _USER_,
When I did similar measurements, I just simply used IdentifyTertiaryObjects. In your case, you need to add 2 more steps:
 1. subtracting cytoplasm from the ring region will give you the part of the ring outside the cell boundaries;
 2. Now, you can subtract the object obtained in (1) from the ring. Thus you will cut away everything outside the cell boundaries and get the desired constrained ring objects.
Good luck!

Hi _USER_,
I checked your pipeline with the images. There are few changes required,
 1. To segment Nuclei, you could use your DNA image itself (using IdentifyPrimaryObject module), but if you are using binary image, you could use the module "Threshold" instead of Primaryobject module since that might work better.
 2. To expand segmented nuclei, you could use "ExpandShrinkObject" module, no need of "IdentifySecondaryObject" module. [In the pipeline I have used 4px to expand since you had mentioned so in the earlier description)
 3. This is followed Mask object (as I had mentioned before). In case you notice my earlier screenshot, I have invert the mask just to have only the expanded portion of the nuclei (i.e.your ring region)
 4. To get your cytoplam, you can use "IdentifyTertiary object" module
 5. To measure the intensity you can use MaskedNuclei i.e.ring region object to measure from your preferred channel i.e. either Actin or GFP in this case.
 PFA pipeline.
Just to show you, I have added the "OverlayOutlines" module & here is the screenshot.
NFkB ratio_LB.cpproj (788.1 KB)
Hope this helps

Hi _USER_,
Thank you for explaining again and for improving on my pipeline with my images. As you noticed, I didn't see the mask inversion from your original post. The pipeline you sent works very well.
Kind regards,
Hi Oleg, Thank you for a very nice solution. I can apply this logic to other segmentations I'm trying also.

Funding and Support
Alberta Metallic Silhouette Association
The Alberta Metallic Silhouette Association was founded in September of 1977, to assist rifle clubs in Alberta to set-up silhouette ranges, unify rules used to coordinate matches in and outside of the province and assist silhouette shooters however possible.
What is Metallic Silhouette Shooting all about?
Metallic Silhouette began in Mexico as a rifle shooting game where live animals were used as targets atop a high ridgeline to offer an outline or "silhouette." In the early '70's the American Shooters discovered metallic silhouette and brought it north of the border. Initially individuals fired only with high-powered rifles and were hampered by the need for rifle ranges which had the required 500-meter distance. Popularity increased dramatically in the 1970's when the National Rifle Association incorporated it into their competition schedule and created smallbore and air rifle classes that allowed the course of fire to be shot on smaller ranges.

KANCHANPUR: Number of Siberian bird in the watersheds of Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve has deceased lately, officials and locals said.
The birds from Siberia arrive in the watersheds of Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve every year in search of warm habitat after the watersheds in the northern poles were covered with snow.
The Siberian birds return to their original habitats, thanks to lack of water and foods, and rise in temperature in the Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve.
Basically, the Siberian birds roam and collect their food around Ranital, Kalikich, Salgaudi, Sikarital, Pyaratal, Jhimlatal and other areas of the Reserve.
According to Reserve, more than 300 species of Siberian birds arrive here every year.

*With the release of Prospect 2.0, we now support FBX files. We recommend exporting to an FBX file from 3ds Max, rather than an OBJ.
*Note for 3ds Max 2019: The latest version of 3ds Max no longer supports Autodesk Standard materials, and the default material option is now an Autodesk Physical Material. These materials cannot be exported to FBX or OBJ files, so they will not appear in Prospect. A workaround you can use to export these materials is to convert them to Scanline Standard materials.
Software platforms write to OBJ files in different ways, so you may experience varying performance or need to take different steps when exporting from third party software. In some cases, you may find that loading your OBJ file into software that Prospect is natively integrated with, such as Rhino, and then launching through our add-in will produce superior results and allow you to better maintain the fidelity of your OBJ file.
Follow these steps in order to successfully produce an OBJ and MTL file that works with IrisVR Prospect with 3ds Max.
1. Before exporting, create a new folder on your computer where you will save the OBJ and texture files. Open Asset Tracking in 3ds Max.
2. Select all of the Full Paths under Maps / Shaders and right click to open a Menu
3. Select 'Make Path Relative to Project Folder'
4. Exit out of Asset Tracking
5. Select Export
4. Select OBJ in the dropdown and name your file
5. Make sure the options look like below
6. Select Map-Export and make sure 'Use map-path' is unchecked.
7. Maintain the format as JPG
8. Select Export. The resulting folder should look something like this, with the various textures used in your file visible as images:
9. Drag and Drop your file into Prospect and launch!
You may experience incompatibility when using the layers function with an OBJ file, in which case we recommend using a native file format.


text: Wrap advertising or a Vehicle Wrap is the term used in the marketing practice of completely or partially covering (wrapping) a vehicle in an advertisement or livery. The result of this process is essentially a mobile billboard. Wrap advertising can be achieved by painting a vehicle's outer surface, but an increasingly ubiquitous practice in the 21st century involves the use of large vinyl sheets as "decals." The vinyl sheets can be removed with relative ease, drastically reducing the costs associated with changing advertisements. While vehicles with large, flat surfaces (such as buses and light-rail carriages) are often utilised due to ease, cars can also serve as hosts for wrap advertising, despite consisting of more curved surfaces.

Tail docking is the surgical removal of part of the tail. This procedure is most often performed in healthy puppies
between 2 to 5 days of age.
A similar procedure may be performed in older pets, but this is considered a tail amputation, not a tail dock.
Tail docking is most often performed in puppies to prevent tail damage in certain breeds, for hygiene reasons and to comply with specific breed standards.
