Comparison Between Offshore Structural Engineering Design and Building Design
Comparison Between Offshore Structural Engineering Design and Building Design
Introduction to offshore structural engineering design
Platform diagram
Offshore structural engineering is a relatively new field of engineering concerned, particular mainly in the design and installation of fixed offshore platforms for various purposes. It was in year 1947, when the first steel structure was installed in the middle of ocean of the Gulf of Mexico. It was differ from the conventional structural engineering (building structural engineering) mainly in the problems which have to be considered in the transportation phase of the structure to the offshore construction site, installation method of the structure, the ability of the structure to withstand the specific design loading, mainly the severe environmental loading during its intended life. The primary driving force behind this technology was come from the oil and gas industry, which was one of the largest energy resources industries in the world. This industry needed fixed platform for exploitation of the extensive hydrocarbon which deposited deep below the sea bed. However, the offshore engineering not limited solely to the oil and gas industry, but also for the important applications for the military and navigational purposes.
An offshore structure is usually specified simply as a requirement at a designated offshore site for an operational deck having a prescribed minimum working area and carrying a prescribed minimum weight loading. Normally in oil and gas industry, offshore structures can be categorized into three types based on its function, which are oil drilling platform, processing platform, and living quarter platform. Oil drilling platform usually is the largest and most complicated platform among the three. It contains the machineries and power supply plants needed to perform oil drilling. Processing platform is mainly dealing with the processing of the raw oil and gas materials come from the oil drilling platform, while the living quarter platform provides shell and living facilities for the workers working for the offshore oil drilling. Living quarter platform normally been built nearby the oil drilling platform for the convenience of the mobility of the workers. Despite, sometimes there will be bridges connecting living quarter platform to the oil drilling platform.
For the offshore structural engineering design, environmental loading is one of the most critical issues in compare to building structure. Unlike building structures, offshore structures have to withstand the very strong wind force (wind force in the middle of ocean is much stronger than the wind force acted on the onshore building structures), current and waves, possibly with the hazards from floating ice and earthquakes, and the changes of tides. Besides environmental loading, dead imposed loads of the platform have to be considered in detail during the design phase. The operating load is very critical to be considered particular in designing oil drilling platform. The oil drilling machine will produce a very large impact on the platform during its operation. In addition, the design process has to consider the installation method and transportation of the structure to the offshore construction site. Due to the location of the construction site, which is in the middle of the ocean, there are many factors needed to be considered in the platform design, for example, method of transporting the platform and jacket to the construction site, weather condition, wave and current, method of installation, and method of conducting piling foundation.
Loading factor
Before proposed offshore structure design can be analyzed, it is necessary to have quantitative estimates of all significant loadings that the structure is likely to be experienced and withstand mainly environmental loadings and dead loads.
During the storm conditions, overwater wind is significant in the design of offshore structures because of the very large forces it induced on the upper exposed parts of the structures, which is the platform. Wind speed during the hurricane conditions can exceed 100mph, which can cause 100kips or more of horizontal forces on a platform structure.
Surface waves during storm condition are also of major importance in the design of offshore structures because of the large forces produced by the water motion on the submerged parts of the structure, which are the jacket legs. Wave height is the difference between maximum and minimum elevations of the water surface. During storm condition, the wave height can exceed 50ft, with associated water motion, it can induce horizontal forces of few hundred kips or more on an offshore structure.
Currents can contribute significant impact to the total forces exerted on the submerged parts of the structure. Currents generally refer to the motion of water that arises from sources other than surface waves. There are 4 types of currents:
1. Tidal currents = Currents which arise from astronomical forces exerted on the water surface.
2. Wind drift currents = Currents from the drag of the local wind on the water surface.
3. River currents = Currents from the discharge of the rivers
4. Ocean currents = Currents from the drag of large-scale wind systems on the ocean
During the storm conditions, currents of the ocean at the water surface can exceed 2ft/sec or more, which can contribute rise to the horizontal structural forces about 10% or more, of the wave induced forces.
Wind force
The wind force exerted on a structure depends on the size and shape of the structural members in the path of the wind, but more importantly, it depends on the speed of the wind blowing. The greatest wind speed at a particular site can be estimated from the analysis of local daily weather records. However, because of the fluctuations of wind speed over any measuring time, such records necessarily consider averaged wind speed measurement over a finite of time. For general structural design purposes, 50-year recurrence interval is used, but for offshore structures, to avoid the possibility of unusually high loss of life and property in extreme condition, 100-year interval is normally been used. Table below shows that 100-year return period of wind speed assumed (referenced to 10.0m above MSL) in construction of BLB wellhead platform which located in the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Development Area (MTJDA).
(m/s) Direction
1-hr mean 20.0 19.8 19.0 14.5 18.4 17.4 17.0 16.0 20.2
1-min mean 23.6 23.3 22.4 17.1 21.7 20.5 20.0 18.8 23.8
3-sec gust 26.6 26.4 25.3 19.4 24.5 23.1 22.6 21.3 26.9
The wind speed assumed for offshore structures design is normally about 10% greater than those nearby coastal stations, which act as a station to measure the wind speed of the particular area, for conservative purpose.
However, wind speed varies with height above MSL. Therefore, it is necessarily to calculate the wind speed in different height. For BLB wellhead platform design, the formula for calculating the wind speed at different height is based on the American Petroleum Institute (API) standard.
VH = VR x [ 1 + C x ln (H/HR) ]
C = 5.73 x 10-2 x ( 1 + 0.0457 x VR )1/2
VH = Wind velocity at specific height (m/s)
VR = Wind velocity at reference height usually 10m above MSL (m/s)
HR = Reference height, usually 10m above MSL (m)
H = Height above MSL (m)

A father and son are growing fruit and vegetables 8 metres below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea — here's why
 - Nemo's Garden is an underwater farm in Italy.
 - The project consists of 5 biospheres connected by a central 'tree of life'.
 - Each biosphere has carefully monitored temperature and humidity.
This is Nemo's Garden, it's an underwater farm created by the Ocean Reef Group.
The project was started as an experiment as the owner's crops were suffering in cold weather. Nemo's Garden utilises the near constant temperature of the sea to make growing plants easier.
The garden was first set up in 2013 by Father and son team Sergio and Luca Gamberini just off the coast of Noli, Italy.
While the original experiments were washed away in a storm, a more permanent structure was built shortly after.
Nemo's Garden is connected to a control tower on the shore that monitors each biosphere and provides power.
Ocean Reef Group also produce smaller biospheres that can be placed inside aquariums.

Communication with Physicians about Health Care Costs
CONTEXT: Health care costs have increasingly shifted to patients, and financial distress caused by medical care has increased. Patients may wish to discuss costs with their clinicians.
OBJECTIVE: Describe patient preferences for communication about cost in the clinical setting.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional, self-administered survey of a stratified random sample of the population insured in an integrated health care system in Washington State. Our sampling frame was the entire membership aged 21 years or older. Sampling was stratified by sex and group practice enrollment.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preference for discussing health care costs with one's physician. We conducted regression analyses to determine predictors of communication preference; potential predictors included demographic characteristics, financial burden, delay in seeking care because of cost, and socioeconomic variables. Survey responses were weighted to adjust for nonresponse and sampling.
RESULTS: Of 7200 invitations sent, 2200 survey responses were returned. Ninety-two percent wished to know their out-of-pocket costs before beginning treatment. Most respondents preferred their physician talk with them about out-of-pocket costs (81.4%) and expressed comfort with discussing costs with their physician (75.6%). Overall, 43.7% reported any delay in seeking care in the previous 12 months. One in 5 respondents (21.6%) reported family medical debt. Delay in seeking care was positively and independently associated with preferring to discuss costs with one's physician; current medical financial burden was not.
CONCLUSION: Patient preferences for communication about costs with physicians are high, and medical debt and delay in care-seeking are prevalent. Delay in care-seeking independently predicts cost communication preferences.


Kent County Median Household Income
Kent County

Interactive paper tearing
We propose an efficient method to model paper tearing in the context of interactive modeling. The method uses geometrical information to automatically detect potential starting points of tears. We further introduce a new hybrid geometrical and physical-based method to compute the trajectory of tears while procedurally synthesizing high resolution details of the tearing path using a texture based approach. The results obtained are compared with real paper and with previous studies on the expected geometric paths of paper that tears. Keywords: paper tearing, virtual paper, developable surfaces, modelling, animation.

Why Do the Ears of a Fox Point Forward?
(Red fox on the scent. will_hybrid/Flickr.com)
Foxes are small, primarily carnivorous mammals of the dog family. They range in size from the tiny African fennec to the European red fox. Diet includes birds, rabbits, mice, grasshoppers and other insects, earthworms, eggs and carrion. Foxes also forage on fruit, berries, nuts and grasses. They are solitary animals that hunt alone. Most species have pointed faces with erect, triangular ears, short legs, thick fur and a long bushy tail.

Ears of a Predator
Most members of the canine and feline families have ears that point forward. The forward-pointing ear is an evolutionary adaptation that is linked to the animal's methods of hunting. Foxes quietly stalk their prey, attempting to get as close as possible before pouncing. If they do not succeed in catching it, they will give chase. A fox can run up to 25 miles per hour to catch rabbits and other small mammals. Forward-pointing ears allow the predator to hear its prey even while moving forward to stalk or chase.

Foxes have an acute sense of hearing that they use to detect prey. Unlike most mammals, they can detect the low-frequency sounds of small animals digging beneath snow or under the ground. The fox tilts its head to focus its ears, locates the source of the sound and digs up its prey.

Ears of Prey Animals
Grazing animals, including rabbits, are vulnerable to predators, like the fox, that sneak up close to them while they eat. The ears of such prey animals have evolved to be large, exceptionally mobile and capable of moving independently, allowing them to hear sounds from both sides and from behind. As they graze, their highly mobile ears swivel constantly to catch any hint of potential predators.
Fox Ears and Climate
Fox species that live in extreme environments of hot or cold have evolved variations in the shape and size of their ears. The fennec of the African desert and the kit fox of the American Southwest have enormous ears that dissipate heat and help to regulate their body temperature. The arctic fox has evolved small rounded ears that conserve heat and are less subject to freezing.

Eyes Facing Forward
Not only do predators have ears that point forward, they also have eyes on the front of their faces, giving them binocular vision to better focus on the prey in front of them. Their prey, by contrast, have ears and eyes on the sides of their head. They can see and hear potentially dangerous movement from behind and on either side.

An airboat ride is a ride on a small, flat-bottomed boat with a large caged propeller. These boats are usually used in the tourism industry to explore the Florida Everglades and other waterways where the water is too shallow for a traditional propeller boat. They are also called fanboats.Continue Reading
Airboats propel themselves forward by using the fan to create a jet of air that shoots out behind the boat. The propeller is purposely placed in a cage to prevent people or wildlife from injuring themselves and damaging the propeller. The operator of the boat sits on a raised platform to improve their visibility and allow them to steer. To steer the vessel, rudders in the rear of the boat are attached to a stick at the operator's side. Airboats do not have brakes, and can reverse only for short distances.
The first airboat was developed in 1905 in Canada by Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. Airboats were first registered in Florida in the 1920s and homemade boats were used for fishing and hunting. Today they are often used as part of ecotourism excursions. These boats are often used in the Indian River Lagoon of Florida, the Kissimmee River, the St. John's River, and the Louisiana bayous.Learn more about Vehicles

Although relationship quality is recognized as a central construct in the relationship marketing literature, relatively little attention has been paid to the issues of: the dimensions of relationship quality, and the directional relationship between relationship quality and related service evaluation outcomes. This study seeks to provide alternative conceptualization of business‐to‐business relationship quality based on the well‐established IMP interaction model and to clarify the relationship between relationship quality and service quality. The findings from an empirical study, support the hypothesis that relationship quality, defined as a higher‐order construct of cooperation, adaptation, and atmosphere, has a positive impact on service quality.

Factors Affecting Specific Gravity of Potatoes
Spectrum Analytic Inc
This article discusses some of the factors that can affect the specific gravity of potatoes.
Some work has shown an association between chloride (Cl) application and decreased specific gravity. However, other literature indicates that potatoes are more sensitive than many crops to shortages of chloride. Producers who suspect that excessive chlorides may be a problem should consider using potassium sulfate vs. potassium chloride for K2O.
Excess or insufficient soil moisture can lower specific gravity. Optimum moisture availability as tubers approach maturity can increase specific gravity.
Vine kill at peak physiological maturity increases specific gravity, and killing vines slowly with chemicals increases specific gravity compared to a quick kill by physical means.
Short day lengths during tuber formation contribute to higher specific gravity, so adjusting planting dates to take advantage of this can be beneficial.
While high levels of available Calcium (Ca) has not been proven to directly affect the specific gravity of potatoes, it has been shown to play a major role in improving several other "quality" factors in potatoes. Calcium is a structural component of cell walls. Adequate Ca, therefore, contributes to the structural integrity of plant cells. Potatoes low in Ca will have an increased susceptibility to internal brown spot and soft rot disease in tubers. In the studies where additional Ca reduced these problems, gypsum was applied at rates of 500 and 750 lb./acre in the root zone. High levels of available Ca has also been shown to improve potato skin-set.

A guitar technique where the edge of the pick is dragged along the length of a string, creating a distinctive, abrasive sound.
Pick slides, also known as pick scrapes, are a popular technique in rock and metal genres, often used as a dramatic effect or to transition between different sections of a song. To execute a pick slide, the guitarist places the edge of the pick against a string, usually the lower E or A string, and applies pressure while sliding the pick along the string's length. The resulting sound is a gritty, grinding noise that can add energy and intensity to a performance.
Although pick slides are relatively simple to perform, they require a firm grip on the pick and careful control of the pressure applied to the string to produce the desired sound. Incorporating pick slides into one's playing can provide a dynamic and attention-grabbing element, contributing to the overall expressiveness and impact of a guitarist's performance.

Scroll to explore Drones and Honeycombs
The Netherlands is famous for its professional design practice, both smalland large-scale. It is also known for its humanitarian missions and investments in development projects around the world. There used to be a clear distinction between war zones and the peaceful civilian world. That distinction seems to have dissolved: war has become part of the public space. Through this project, Het Nieuwe Instituut seeks to link subjects such as innovation and conflict to contemporary issues in design. The work focuses on the extent to which the military apparatus affects society and how it engages with architecture and urban planning.
The project is divided into three sub-research themes:
1. Drones: machines, surveillance and emerging security regimes
2. Compounds: architecture of enclosure
Background tot the project Drones and Honeycombs
Drones and Honeycombs is based on a research project by Malkit Shoshan, fellow of Het Nieuwe Instituut.

What's the correct term?
As Mari-Lou has said, puréed is probably the best term, and the one most often used today:
Baby food is normally puréed.
However, if you want a word with a Germanic root, rather than a loan-word, then you could use mashed:
Baby food is normally mashed.
Older recipe books (printed before the advent of food processors) would probably use mashed instead of puréed, and the term mashed is still used in traditional British cooking. For example: mashed potatoes, bangers and mash.
mash verb [WITH OBJECT]
Reduce (a food or other substance) to a pulpy mass by crushing it:
- 'mash the beans to a paste'
- 'mashed banana'
Mush (or the adjective mushy) is usually the first word that comes to my mind when I think of any baby food. It's a slightly derogatory word that an older child or adult might say if he or she were served with some creamy but tasteless mass of food.
- any thick, soft mass.
If the OP wants the correct descriptive term for baby food, there is only one choice. It is purée or pureed, it is the standard, and positive term that especially describes homemade baby food.
Puree (or spelled purée) is a French loanword that has been used in English for over three hundred years, long before the invention of the electric blender.
1. a cooked food, especially a vegetable or fruit, that has been put through a sieve, blender, or the like.
verb (used with object), puréed, puréeing.
- McGrady pureed organic fruits and veggies for William and Harry
Comparing pureed fruit (blue line), mashed fruit (red), sieved fruit (green), and ground fruit (yellow) Ngram produces the following results.
"to Puree" is the technical term which describes the process of making a substance like baby food.
"Baby food is a Puree" is a true statement no matter how you look at it, is not derogatory and is well know and widely used.
I wouldn't recommend using the word "pap" as I am a native speaker who has a girlfriend with kids and I have never heard it. Also if you were to google it, you might understand how it could be an embarrassing word to be misunderstood using while using it.
No, it's not mush (which applies to many things that are not baby food), and although it is definitely puréed or mashed, so are many other foods.
If you're looking for a word to describe it, that word is
1. Soft or semiliquid food, as for infants.


Haze thickens around Sumatra
Jakarta: Authorities are warning ships travelling through Indonesia need to be highly vigilant as severe haze envelopes large parts of Sumatra.
The extreme pollution of the past fortnight has seen some ports in the area take extreme measures to ensure safety.
At Palembang port, for instance, odd dates are assigned for outgoing vessels and even dates for incoming vessels.
The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) recorded 170 hot spots in South Sumatra on Monday, which was the highest number in Sumatra. Dense haze from forest fires in the province has spread to Jambi, Lampung, Riau, West Sumatra, Aceh and North Sumatra. [14/10/14]

 1. Trigger
Dictionary of Nautical Terms
 1. trigger
 In ship-building, is the letting fall the paul of the cradle by which the dog-shore falls flush, and offers no further obstruction to the ship gliding down the ways into her absurdly termed "native element." Also, a small catch under the lock of fire-arms, by drawing which back, when the piece is cocked, it is discharged.
Military Dictionary and Gazetteer
 1. trigger
 A steel catch, which being pulled disengages the cock of a gunlock, and causes the hammer to strike the nipple in percussion-muskets, and the firing-pin in breech-loaders. The difference between a hair and common trigger is this: the hair-trigger, when set, lets off the cock at the slightest touch, whereas the common trigger requires a greater degree of force, and consequently its operation is retarded.

Language: Node definitions
A node definition or node statement is a block of Puppet code that will only be included in matching nodes' catalogs. This feature allows you to assign specific configurations to specific nodes.
Node statements are an optional feature of Puppet. They can be replaced by or combined with an external node classifier, or you can eschew both and use conditional statements with facts to classify nodes.
Unlike more general conditional structures, node statements only match nodes by name. By default, the name of a node is its certname (which defaults to the node's fully qualified domain name).
Node definitions should go in the main manifest. The main manifest can be a single file, or a directory containing many files.
# /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/site.pp
node '' {
 include common
 include apache
 include squid
node '' {
 include common
 include mysql
In the example above, only would receive the apache and squid classes, and only would receive the mysql class.
 - The node keyword
 - The name(s) of the node(s), separated by commas (with an optional final trailing comma)
 - An opening curly brace
 - A closing curly brace
Aside: Best practices
Although node statements can contain almost any Puppet code, we recommend that you only use them to set variables and declare classes. Avoid using resource declarations, collectors, conditional statements, chaining relationships, and functions in them; all of these belong in classes or defined types.
This will make it easier to switch between node definitions and an ENC.
Node statements match nodes by name. A node's name is its unique identifier; by default, this is its certname setting, which in turn defaults to the node's fully qualified domain name.
Note on Non-Certname Node Names
A node statement's name must be one of the following:
 - A regular expression.
 - The bare word default.
You may not create two node statements with the same name.
Multiple names
You can use a comma-separated list of names to create a group of nodes with a single node statement:
node '', '', '' {
 include common
 include apache, squid
This example creates three identical nodes:,, and
The default node
The name default (without quotes) is a special value for node names. If no node statement matching a given node can be found, the default node will be used. See Behavior below.
Regular expression names
Regular expressions (regexes) can be used as node names. This is another method for writing a single node statement that matches multiple nodes.
Note: Make sure all of your node regexes match non-overlapping sets of node names. If a node's name matches more than one regex, Puppet makes no guarantee about which matching definition it will get.
node /^www\d+$/ {
 include common
The above example would match www1, www13, and any other node whose name consisted of www and one or more digits.
node /^(foo|bar)\.example\.com$/ {
 include common
The above example would match and, but no other nodes.
If the main manifest contains at least one node definition, it must have one for every node; compilation for a node will fail if one cannot be found. (Hence the usefulness of the default node.) If the main manifest contains no node definitions, this requirement is dropped.
A given node will only get the contents of one node definition, even if two node statements could match a node's name. Puppet will do the following checks in order when deciding which definition to use:
 1. If there is a node definition with the node's exact name, Puppet will use it.
 2. If there is a regular expression node statement that matches the node's name, Puppet will use it. (If more than one regex node matches, Puppet will use one of them, with no guarantee as to which.)
 3. If the node's name looks like a fully qualified domain name (i.e. multiple period-separated groups of letters, numbers, underscores and dashes), Puppet will chop off the final group and start again at step 1. (That is, if a definition for isn't found, Puppet will look for a definition matching www01.example.)
 4. Puppet will use the default node.
Thus, for the node, Puppet would try the following, in order:
 - A regex that matches
 - www01.example
 - A regex that matches www01.example
 - www01
 - A regex that matches www01
 - default
You can turn off this fuzzy name matching by changing the Puppet master's strict_hostname_checking setting to true. This will cause Puppet to skip step 3 and only use the node's full name before resorting to default.
Regex capture variables
Regex node definitions will set numbered regex capture variables ($1, $2, etc.) within the body of the node definition. This is similar to the behavior of conditional statements that use regexes.
Code outside node statements
Puppet code that is outside any node statement will be compiled for every node. That is, a given node will get both the code in its node definition and the code outside any node definition.
Node scope
Node definitions create a new anonymous scope that can override variables and defaults from top scope. See the section on node scope for details.
Merging with ENC data
Node definitions and external node classifiers can co-exist. Puppet merges their data as follows:
 - Variables from an ENC are set at top scope and can thus be overridden by variables in a node definition.
 - Classes from an ENC are declared at node scope, which means they will be affected by any variables set in the node definition.
Although ENCs and node definitions can work together, we recommend that most users pick one or the other.
Inheritance is not allowed
In earlier versions of the Puppet language, nodes could inherit from other nodes using the inherits keyword. We removed that feature, and this version of the language will raise an error if you try to use it.

Rule variables
QAnywhere rule variables can be used in the condition part of rules. You can use the following as rule variables:
Using properties as rule variables
Message properties and message store properties can be used as transmission rule variables. In both cases you can use pre-defined properties or you can create custom properties. If you have a message property and a message store property with the same name, the message property is used. To override this precedence, you can explicitly reference the property as follows:
 - Preface a message store property name with ias_Store.
 - Preface a message property name with ias_Message.
For example, the following automatic transmission rule selects all messages with the custom message property urgent set to yes:
automatic = ias_Message.urgent = 'yes'
The following automatic transmission rule selects messages when the custom message store property transmitNow is set to yes:
automatic = ias_Store.transmitNow = 'yes'

If you have a bunch of commands that you use frequently, you may want to keep them more accessible within PowerPoint 2016 by customizing your Quick Access Toolbar. You populate the QAT with commands you use often. Over a period, these customizations may become a valuable asset you want to save or share. Let us explore these scenarios:
- What do you do if you need to change your computer, and rather than customize again from scratch, you wonder if there's a way to move your existing customizations?
- Or if you want to replicate your QAT customizations on another existing computer? Maybe you want the same customizations on both your desktop and laptop.
- You may also want to share your QAT customizations with your friends and colleagues.
- You may want to make a backup of your customizations, just in case!
- On the other hand, you probably want to go into the reverse direction because you need to hand over your computer to someone else, so you may want to reset your QAT to the default state, devoid of all your customizations.
Yes, you can do all this and more. If you want to reset, export, or import your QAT customizations, follow these steps:
- Launch PowerPoint 2016 and access PowerPoint Options dialog box. There are two ways to access these options. The easiest way is to right-click anywhere on the Ribbon or the QAT, and choose the Customize Quick Access Toolbar option, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 1.
Figure 1: Customize Quick Access Toolbar option
- Alternatively, access the File menu and choose Options (highlighted in blue within Figure 2).
Figure 2: Options within File menu
- Either way, this opens the PowerPoint Options dialog box, as shown in Figure 3. Make sure you choose the Quick Access Toolbar option within the sidebar. This shows the relevant options on the right side of the dialog box (refer to Figure 3 again). All the options we will explore in this tutorial are within the Customizations area, highlighted in red within Figure 3, below.
Figure 3: PowerPoint Options dialog box
- Let us first explore how you can import and export the QAT customizations. To do so, click the Import/Export button (highlighted in red within Figure 4, below). From the resultant drop-down menu, select the Export all customizations option (highlighted in blue within Figure 4) to export your QAT customizations.
Figure 4: Export all customizations option is selected
- This brings up the File Save dialog box, as shown in Figure 5. Provide a name and location, and click the Save button.
Figure 5: File Save dialog box
- You import customizations in the same way. Access the drop-down menu as explained in Step 3, and choose the Import customization file option, as shown highlighted in blue within Figure 6.
Figure 6: Import customization file option to be selected
- This opens the File Open dialog box, as shown in Figure 7. Here, navigate and locate your (.exportedUI) file, and select it. When done, click the Open button.
Figure 7: File Open dialog box
- This will bring up a Microsoft Office window, as shown in Figure 8. Click the Yes button to replace all existing Quick Access Toolbar customizations.
Figure 8: Microsoft Office window
- This will change all the customizations to match the ones taken from the imported file.
- To reset, click the Reset button (highlighted in red within Figure 9). The resultant drop-down menu provides two options to reset any customizations done, as shown highlighted in blue within Figure 9.
- The Reset only Quick Access Toolbar option will only reset the customization of the QAT.
- The Reset all customizations option resets all the customization done for your Ribbon tabs as well as the QAT. This is like restoring the Ribbon tabs and QAT to the state when you used PowerPoint the first time after installation.
Figure 9: Reset drop-down menu
- Click the OK button to apply changes made within the PowerPoint Options dialog box, and go back to the PowerPoint interface. Alternatively, press the Cancel button to go back without making any changes.

How To Remove Limescale From Your Toilet
Limescale is a common problem in the UK that can leave unsightly stains in your toilet. In this guide we outline how you can remove limescale from your toilet, where it comes from and how you can prevent it coming back.
How To Remove Limescale From Your Toilet:
 1. Pour vinegar into the toilet bowl
 2. Leave for 3-4 hours
 3. Scrub the toilet bowl
 4. Flush the toilet
 5. Repeat as necessary
Step 1: Pour Vinegar Into Your Toilet
Vinegar is a great natural cleaner which will be cheaper than most specialist cleaners your can buy. First, pour a litre of white vinegar into your toilet bowl. As your pour make sure the vinegar reaches all parts of the bowl. Pay close attention to covering areas with particularly bad limescale.
Step 2: Allow The Vinegar To Sit
After you've poured the vinegar into your toilet, leave it to work its magic for 3-4 hours. If your limescale is particularly bad you can leave it overnight.
Step 3: Scrub The Toilet Bowl
Now you've let the vinegar work, it's time to use your toilet brush to scrub the areas of limescale. At this point you can also add some more vinegar if the stains don't appear to be shifting.
If you have some particularly stubborn stains, grab a pair of gloves & scrub the areas more vigorously with the scourer side of a kitchen sponge. When scrubbing, it's important to apply vinegar or water to the area first and be very careful not to scratch the surface of the toilet.
Step 4: Flush The Toilet
Once you feel you've scrubbed all of the limescale away, flush the toilet a few times to clear any remaining vinegar and mineral deposits.
Step 5: Repeat Until The Toilet Is Clean
If you've followed these steps and your toilet still isn't clean, you can repeat the process above until you can hopefully remove all of the limescale. If the stains are really stubborn, try leaving the vinegar in your toilet overnight, which should hopefully shift the limescale. If this method doesn't work for you, it could be time to replace your toilet with a shiny new one.
Remove Limescale With Cola
The acidity of cola makes it really useful for cleaning purposes, particularly when trying to break down limescale. This is another method which will save you having to buy expensive specialist cleaners.
1. Pour Cola Around The Bowl
First you'll need to pour the cola, making sure you coat the whole bowl whilst paying close attention to any problem limescale areas. Although there isn't a specific amount to use, roughly the size of a regular can of cola should be enough.
2. Leave To Sit
Next you'll need to leave the cola to get to work. This should be for at least an hour but you can leave it overnight if there's a large amount of limescale.
3. Scrub The Limescale
As with the vinegar, you'll next need to scrub the limescale with your toilet brush. You can again use gloves and a kitchen sponge to work harder at particularly stubborn areas.
4. Flush The Toilet
You can now flush your toilet and hopefully see that the limescale is removed. If it doesn't work the first time you can always repeat the process again.
Removing Limescale With Specialist Products
There's a whole host of specialist limescale cleaning products available which should help remove any stains. If you choose to use one of these cleaners, make sure it will actually remove the limescale, rather than just altering its colour.
Sandpaper Or Pumice Stones
You might hear that people have had success removing limescale by scrubbing with something harsher such as sandpaper or a pumice stone. Although this may help remove the limescale, there's also a chance that you could damage the finish of your toilet, so this isn't something we'd recommend.
What Is Limescale?
Limescale is a chalky substance that you'll find on many items throughout your home that come into contact with water. When water moves through softer rocks like limestone or chalk, it will pick up some of their minerals. These minerals will remain in the water when it reaches your home which then leads to limescale stains.
Limescale, which is mainly composed of calcium carbonate, will appear in your toilet as a brown, orange or pink coloured stain.
Hard Water Areas
Limescale is a problem in hard water areas. Hard water has high concentrations of minerals within it, compared to soft water which will have a very small or no mineral content.
Whether you have hard water or soft water will largely depend on where you live. You can check with your water company but overall, over 60% of people in the UK live in a hard water area.
Preventing Limescale In Your Toilet
As limescale is caused by the mineral content of the water supply to your home, rather than a lack of cleaning, preventing limescale buildups can be difficult. However, using the methods above regularly will help remove the limescale before it becomes a harder problem to tackle.
Lemon Or Vinegar
Pouring a small amount of lemon or vinegar into your toilet once a month can help prevent the build up of limescale deposits. The acidity of these will help wash away any smaller limescale deposits without the need for intense scrubbing.
Water Softeners
Another, albeit more expensive approach is installing a water softener in your home. These devices will remove the minerals in the hard water supply, which should prevent the buildup of limescale in your toilet.
Keeping your toilet free of limescale isn't easy but with a little bit of work, you should be able to keep it looking great. If you've scrubbed your toilet and the limescale doesn't want to budge, it could be time to replace it. Luckily, Tap Warehouse have an excellent selection of toilets to choose from.

coming through at the center of the base than at the ski edges ("edge high"). This will be very obvious.
If the ski is convex so that the base in the center of the ski is higher than the edges ("base high"), the light band will be more narrow at the center of the base, wider over the edges. The Ruby Stone Blade is used to correct the convexity.
Keep in mind that you can also observe your base flatness just by the structure pattern. If it is consistent the entire base, it is flat. Inconsistencies disclose high or low spots and are generally easy to see.
Advanced Techniques:
It is common for ski bases to have waves on them, and stone grinding will not remove them because the stone rides up and down with the waves. The waves have to be cut off from an angle. Also, they cannot be seen. If you use the Base Flattener at an angle as shown in the picture, you will find there is more drag in certain spots than others. Those spots with extra drag are base waves. As you continue to make additional passes on the base you will find the drag at that point becomes progressively less and that finally it disappears, the wave is removed.
Skip marks can ONLY be put in the base with the steel blades, NEVER the Ruby Stone Blades. Skip marks are caused by
 - pushing the tool down the base with too much speed
 - pushing on the tool with excessive pressure
 - using a blade that is too dull, it needs sharpening
 - The base is too smooth and slick, roughen it with the Ruby Stone
 - Trying to do too much work too quickly
 - you have a rock hardened/damaged edge section next to the mark
You won't put in skip marks if you keep the blade nice and sharp and use the tool with a lighter touch, letting the tool do the job rather than over-muscling it. If you have a rock hardened/damaged section it needs to be polished out with the Ski Sharp Stones before flattening with the steel blade.
If you do put in skip marks, they won't damage the performance of your skis. They just don't look very good. To remove, angle the Base Flattener and use the Ruby Stones, the angle used coming from the opposite angle as the skip marks in the base, they have to be cut off from a cross-angle.
Due to the curvature of the ski at tip and sometimes at tail (flip tail skis) using the Ruby Stone Blade by hand can sometime work better than in the Base Flattener. Just keep the blade up on edge and follow the contour of the base to get a uniform structure across the width.
If your ski is very concave it is best to use the File Base Flattener, the steel blade is best kept for fine detail work rather than using it for heavy work.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to polish off the burr that is left whenever you work on metal ski edges, a burr makes the skis over-sharp and dangerous. We recommend the SkiVisions Ski Sharp for such purpose, or you can polish the edges by hand with a stone.
The steel blade falls from the tool when the retaining screws are loosened. It is sharp and heavy and should be done over your bench carefully.
Maintain a firm grip on the tool when running it off the tail of the ski so you don't drop it.
Keep your fingers on the tool and out of the way of the sharp metal ski edges. Your ski must be held in a ski vise when using the Base Flattener.
(Note: reprinted from SkiVisions with permission.)

Why do people give to the United Way?
 - Some like the oversight United Way provides over partner agencies...making sure the finances are being handled properly.
 - Others like that someone else is checking to be sure the community's most critical problems are being targeted, not just band-aid solutions.
 - Still others appreciate the convenience of payroll deduction.
 - Some like that their donation can be directed to nearly any charity, anywhere they wish.
 - Everyone appreciates that they are helping those in need.
Why do employers like the United Way?
 - The United Way makes it easy for employers to help employees give back to their community. Many employers consider partnering with United Way as good corporate citizenship.
 - Since the United Way will direct employee donations to nearly any charitable organization, employers may choose to limit outside fundraising efforts.
 - Even the simplest payroll software accomodates payroll deduction. The employer simply sends one check to United Way on a monthly or quarterly basis. The United way does the work of keeping track of where the employee donations are directed.
Why do charities like the United Way?
 - Charities understand that United Way's trusted partnership with employers and their ability to utilize payroll deduction, is a powerful team that often results in larger donations directed to the charity.
 - Charities often suggest to their employees, their board members, and their supporters to take advantage of Donor Directed contributions and payroll deductions so that part, or all, of their donation benefits their organization.
 - Being a partner agency with United Way signals to the charity's donor that both the charity and the finances have been carefully reviewed by a third party.

Workflow scripts can fail and errors must be handled appropriately. A common approach is to have a failing workflow script exit with a non-zero exit code so that Funnelback can detect the problem and fail the update (sending a notification email if it has been configured).
To achieve this in shell scripts, make sure you set the -e flag in the hashbang line: #!/bin/sh -e or #!/bin/bash -e. This will cause the shell to immediately exit with an error code if one the script commands fail.
To achieve this in Groovy script, throw an exception with a message of why the script cannot continue:
throw new Exception("Unable to connect to remote system");
Never use System.exit() as it will cause the JVM to shutdown. Depending on the context it may have bad consequences, such as shutting down the Jetty webserver if the script is being run by Jetty.

It is important to understand the mechanical properties of single phase cementite in order to design the microstructure of advanced steels. Several papers have been published on mechanical properties of cementite embedded in steels or extracted from steels by electrolysis. However, single phase cementite is not documented. The purpose of this study is to prepare cementite films by the PVD method and to characterize their properties. We applied the electron-shower-assisted PVD method in order to produce a single phase cementite film (2.5 μm in thickness) in a C2H2 atmosphere at 523 K. The composition of the film was determined to be 70Fe-28C-2O (at.%). ESCA spectra indicated that the film was not contaminated with other metallic elements. The grain size of the film was revealed to be about 50 nm by AFM. The Vickers hardness was 1230 (under a load of 2.5 g) at room temperature, nearly equal to the value of 1270 of the cementite extracted from carbon steel by electrolysis. Temperature dependence of the hardness was measured up to 673 K. Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio at room temperature were 160 GPa and 0.26, respectively.

how to find expired accounts: Netwrix Auditor User Accounts Expired report
Quickly Find Expired User Accounts Instead of Scripting in PowerShell
As a part of security management best practices, Active Directory administrators have to find expired user accounts so they can remove or disable them before an attacker has time to take them over. User accounts for vendors or contractors are often needed only temporally, but even if the IT team sets an expiration date, a malicious actor can reset the date by running a simple ADAccount cmdlet and then use the account as a backdoor to gain access to IT systems like Windows Server and Microsoft Active Directory. Therefore, it's critical to ensure that you know about all expired user accounts in your Active Directory and delete any of them that are no longer needed to minimize risk and make your IT environment more secure.
Of course, you can get AD user expired accounts using PowerShell. However, it does requires skill, time and effort to write a Windows PowerShell script, pull the required data from your domain and compile a report.
Unlike PowerShell commands and legacy software solutions, Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory makes it easy to quickly get expired users. In a few clicks, you can find any user accounts that expired, so you can determine whether they are still needed or can be deleted as part of IT housekeeping procedures. You can easily filter the results and export the list of expired user accounts to any of multiple file formats, including CSV. And you can subscribe to the report to stay current on any changes to the list of expired user accounts to improve the security of your IT environment.


Dipper Pines
Use the video and step-by-step drawing instructions below to learn how to draw Dipper Pines from Disney Channel's Gravity Falls. A new drawing tutorial is uploaded every week, so stay tooned!
Draw Dipper Pines Step 1
Step 1: Start by drawing a circle near the top half of the page. It doesn't have to be perfect. It's just a guide for Dipper Pines' head.
Draw Dipper Pines Step 2
Step 2: Next, draw two intersecting lines across the circle, one vertical and one horizontal. Bend the lines so that they contour to the shape. These will be construction lines that will help you place Dipper Pines' facial features later on.
Draw Dipper Pines Step 3
Step 3: Draw two small circles sitting on top of the horizontal construction line as guides for Dipper Pines' eyes. The circles should be on either side of the vertical construction line.
Draw Dipper Pines Step 4
Step 4: Below Dipper Pines' eyes, where the two construction lines intersect, draw a tiny oval as a guide for his nose. On the left side of the head, where the horizontal construction line starts, draw a C-shaped line as a guide fore Dipper Pines' ear.
Draw Dipper Pines Step 5
Step 5: Draw a big arc on top of Dipper Pines' head as a guide for the top of his cap. The arc starts on top of the ear and ends on the top right side of the head. Then draw a smaller, thinner arc to the right of that to create a guide for the bill portion of Dipper Pines' cap.

What is the origin of the gaucho in Argentina?
The word gaucho has its origin in the Quichua and Mapuche "huacho", which means orphan.
Its origin is the result of the mixture of two civilizations: the European and the natives of what is now Argentina. Possiby the first gauchos were people who breaked their strings with the past and went to the loneliness of the Great Pampa where there was water, grass and livestock. They developed an incredible ability to master the horse, as well as to use the "boleadoras" (three stones linked by a rope that, when thrown, become entangled in the legs of the cattle), the knife, the bow and the appropriate techniques for the salting, method destined to preserve food, of one of the best meats in the world.
On the 6th of December, the National Gaucho Day is celebrated because on that date, in 1872, it was published "El Gaucho Martín Fierro" for the first time. Jose Hernández, from the voice of Martín Fierro, showed the world what the life of the countryman was like, his love for freedom, for his land, his manhood and his courage. The gaucho was a person of great respect and who fulfilled his words, also known for his solidarity which is where the term "gauchada" comes from, which means favor in argentine slang. Today "the current gauchos" carry out activities in estancias, not only in the Pampa plain, but all over the country.

An Ultimate Guide On How To Remove Laminate Backsplash
Laminate Backsplash is one of the interior magic today. It is used on countertops, cabinets, and you name it. It is used to protect the walls and provide an excellent touch on the countertops and the cabinets. Just a few necessary procedures and you have yourself a laminate backsplash. Placing the laminate, then paint and then smoothening the laminate. Easy right? But what happens when you want to remove the laminate backsplash? How do you go about it?
Many at times we are told on how to make the laminate backsplash, and how to create the laminate on the backsplash, but not correctly how to remove it. Removing it would mean an update to your kitchen and replacing the laminate is another step that is further from the process. The thing about laminate backsplash that makes it long lasting is the kind of glue that is used in the process, this glue type is very sticky, sturdy and so to say resists all the attempts made to remove it.
Removing laminate from a backsplash
Things you will need
- Putty knife
Guidelines on removing the laminate
- By using the tip of a putty knife, force it just behind the little metal strip, and this is at the top of the laminate backsplash. Further, ensure you twist the handle of the knife, and this process should just be slight to provide you open a small crack, and this between the laminate and the wall.
- Using acetone, ensure you inject just a small amount into the crack, then wait for approximately 3 minutes. This time taken is to provide that the glue softens. For the laminate pry it away from the wall, this should be just as far as it will go without resisting the pressure to break. Then after all this, inject more of the glue into the same crack, pump some to the right and some to the left, then wait for about 3 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, side it more profound to the crack and make sure to pry the laminate out of the break. The blade should be slide to the right and also to the left, and this is just as the glue softens. Then inject in more of the acetone. The process of prying the knife from left to right should be continuous, and what this done is to ensure to free the backsplash from the wall, and this is all the way to the bottom.
- Using the tip of the knife, push the blade just under the small metal runner, and this is mainly found at the bottom, this is where the backsplash joins to the countertop, and this process only takes place if the laminate happens to be still stuck and won't come off.
- The last thing that is done is twisting the handle of the knife, and this is to ensure that the metal runner is lifted up and is also free from the backsplash and the metal runners that are found in the countertop. Once the laminate is seen to lift away from the countertop, ensure you use both your hands to pull it apart from the way, and this is all in one piece.
Acetone is also used in removing polish from the fingernail, in other words, it is used as a fingernail remover. When using acetone, ensure you use it to clean off any of the residual contact cement, and this is from the walls. It is also important to note that a usual laminate backsplash is removed with the use of metal runners, but another trimmer that could be used is the wood molding, and in this particular case, if your specific set has wood trim, it would be of importance if you just pry it off like you would that of the metal runners. When working with acetone, ensure you also work with eye protection.
It is also of importance to consider the laminate backsplash that goes just behind the wall cabinets, and this is particularly placed on only after the cabinets are installed. This covering is of importance because it provides an attractive background for the cabinets and ensures to give the walls an added protection advantage. Removing the laminate on the cabinets automatically means that the laminate backsplash of the walls has to be removed as well.
Things you will need
- Wood sticks
- Hand saw
- Cordless screw
- Putty knife
- Start by measuring the distance available between the countertops and the bottom of the cabinets, then cut the wood sticks to an absolute measurement of ¾ by 1 ½ inch, this is mainly using a hand saw.
- Ensure you place the wood props vertically and just under the first cabinet, then look at the insides of the cabinet. Further, locate all of the screws that secure the cabinets to the walls. Ensure you remove all of the bolts, except the particular one with the cordless screw gun, then pull out the props. With the cabinet braced with your shoulder remove the last bolt. You can then allow the assembly to slide down the wall and rest on the countertop. Ensure you repeat the process will all the cabinets in question.
- Using a putty knife, insert it behind the laminate, and this is precisely where the cabinets were removed. Then pry out the laminate slightly, ensure you inject acetone on the crack, then further slide the knife along the top of the laminate, and provide you insert acetone behind it.
- Use the knife to pry and glide, and this is just until the glue softens, as the laminate comes loose, continue with pulling it, using the back of your fingers, and subsequently inject more acetone deeper just as the laminate continues to pull free.
- Using the putty knife, ensure you scrape the residual glue from the wall. For about an hour, let the wall dry, and then sand it, then prepare the wall for the new laminate.
With this guide, you will easily remove laminate backsplash with minimal effort.

Cocoon Source Resolving
Differences between Cocoon and Avalon Excalibur Source Resolving
This story tries to list the changes between the two source resolving approaches. Originally, the source resolving was developed in the Cocoon community. As the community recognized that it had a more common value, the source resolving was donated to the Avalon Excalibur project and there it was refined and redesigned. Now the way back takes place by reintegrating the Avalon Excalibur Source Resolving into Cocoon and deprecating the now obsolete Cocoon Source Resolving.
The Interfaces
Besides the package names the main difference is that the Cocoon Source object is XMLizable, that means it can directly send SAX events. The AE Source object is not XMLizable, which is more correct as a protocol only describes the way of transport but not the format of the data which is transfered. Therefore it provides a getMimeType() method.
The Cocoon Source object returns a last modified time stamp which is very limiting. For example a source could have an expires date or something like that. The AE Source returns a validity object which is capable of all these validity checkings. So the information used for validity checking is provided by the source object and not maintained by the client of the source as it is currently in Cocoon.
As we in Cocoonland are dealing a lot with XML, a Source implementation can still implement the XMLizable Interface (from AE and not from Cocoon!) to directly provide SAX events. The Cocoon SourceUtil class has a method toSAX() which gets a Source object and tests if it implements the XMLizable interface. If not the new AE XMLizer is used which is a component that can convert an input stream with a given mime-type to SAX events. This component is configurable and extensible.


How To Grow Sodium Nitrate Crystals
Sodium Nitrate crystals
Vadim Sedov/Wikimedia Commons/CC by 4.0
Sodium nitrate is a common chemical, found in food, fertilizer, glass enamel, and pyrotechnics. Sodium nitrate, NaNO3, forms colorless hexagonal crystals. Although these crystals are a bit more challenging to grow than some of the beginner crystals, the interesting crystal structure makes them worth the effort. The crystal somewhat resembles calcite, exhibiting some of the same properties. Sodium nitrate crystals can be used to examine double refraction, cleavage, and glide.
Sodium Nitrate Crystal Growing Solution
 1. Dissolve 110 grams sodium nitrate per 100 ml hot water. This will be a supersaturated solution. One method of growing crystals is to allow this solution to cool in an undisturbed location and allow it to produce crystals as the liquid evaporates.
 2. Another method of growing this crystal is to grow a single crystal in a sealed container from a supersaturated solution. If you choose to follow this method, prepare the aforementioned solution, allow this solution to cool, then add a couple of grains of sodium nitrate and seal the container. The excess sodium nitrate will deposit on the grains, producing a saturated sodium nitrate solution. Allow a couple of days for this to occur.
 3. Pour off the saturated solution. Pour a small amount of this solution into a shallow dish. Allow the liquid to evaporate, to produce small seed crystals. Select a crystal or two for further growth.
 4. To prepare the supersaturated growing solution, to your existing solution add 3 grams of sodium nitrate per 100 ml of water in the original solution. So, if you prepared 300 ml of solution, you would add an extra 9 grams of sodium nitrate.
 5. Carefully add your seed crystal to this liquid. You can suspend the crystal from a nylon monofilament. A nylon monofilament or wire is used because it won't wick up the solution, causing evaporation.
 6. Seal the jar and allow the crystals to grow at a constant temperature, someplace they won't be disturbed. Sodium nitrate is very sensitive to temperature changes, so maintaining a constant temperature is important. If you have difficulty maintaining a temperature, you can place the sealed jar inside a water bath. If you don't see crystal growth after a few days, try lowering the temperature slightly.

Debugging Server Starts
If a server isn't starting, the first thing to run is the server log command. It will show you the console log for that server. Note, this dumps the entire log file to the console, which may be very large. We recommend using the tail or --follow tricks below.
server log
server log serverName
Tailing and Following logs
If the log is very large, use the tail command to just see the last few lines of it.
server log | tail
server log | tail lines=100
To get a live stream of the console log from a running server, use the --follow flag and the command will continue streaming new lines to the console until you press Ctrl-C to stop.
server log --follow
You can also look at your server's access log (if enabled) and rewrite log (if enabled).
server log --follow -access
server log --follow --rewrite
Start server in console mode
You can use the --console flag to the server start command to start a server in the foreground. The console log will be live-streamed to the CLI and the log will continue streaming as long as the server is running. Press Ctrl-C to stop the server and stop streaming the log file.
server start --console
Debug Logging
You can get additional information about a server start with the --debug flag. When debug is set, the start command will not exit immediately, but wait for the server to come up and live stream the debugging information and server logs to the console while the server is coming up.
server start --debug
server start --debug --console
Maximum logging! (trace)
You may still really be having issues getting your server to start up correctly due to a setting not getting picked up, rewrites not working, or maybe a jar not loading. You can "drink from the firehose" so to speak by turning on trace level logging. This works best when starting the server via the console so you can watch the logging as it streams past.
server start --trace --console

Is Sea Life Worth It?
Divers were willing to pay the most on average for healthy corals, at around $55 per dive, but they were also willing to pay an average of $35 for sharks and $30 for sea turtles.
As Suzanne Garrett, our dive program coordinator (ScubaSuz here on the blog) put it, "Divers are personally invested in the oceans and truly understand the importance of safeguarding marine wildlife and habitats."
For all you divers out there -- what would you pay to see, and how much?

Evaluating long term outcomes for students with learning disabilities : does age of first services matter?
MetadataShow full item record
Within the last few decades there has been a push in the field of learning disabilities to identify students who have or who are at risk for learning disabilities as early as possible. Little to no research has been conducted on the long-term effects of age of first service provision for students with learning disabilities, however. Using multiple regression, this study will analyze data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS-2) to investigate the potential effects of age of first service provision on high school educational achievement and educational attainment in order to better understand the longer-term effects of the age of identification and age of intervention for students with learning disabilities.
