How do I import my recipes from Now You're Cooking?
You can either follow these instructions below or use CB2CB to convert your recipes.
To import recipes from Now You're Cooking you need to use the Export Recipes command from the File menu in Now You're Cooking. That command is not activated until you close the recipes. Use the Generic Text File setting. It will create a text file on your computer.
You then will need to edit that text file so the recipes are in a format that MasterCook can import. Open and edit that text file with Windows NOTEPAD. Do NOT use Word.
MasterCook can import several recipes within one text file as long as they are in a basic format such as this example:
Glazed Spiced Pecans
2 1/2 cups pecans
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon rum flavoring or vanilla
Heat nuts at 250 F for 15 min. Blend and cook sugar, water, salt and spices to soft ball stage. Do not stir. Add flavoring. Stir in nuts until creamy and coated. Turn onto wax paper, separating as they cool.
Notes: unknown, Knoxville, Tennessee
Use the above example, you start out with 5 @ symbols on one line. Then have a blank line. Then a line with the recipe title. Followed by another blank line. Then lines of ingredients. Followed by another blank line. Then paragraphs of directions. Then another five @ symbols to let MasterCook know another recipe follows.
Set up all the recipes like this in the text file. Then use the Import command from the File menu in MasterCook. Direct it to this text file that you created using the instructions above.
- It's important that the blank lines are completely blanks (no spaces even) since it tells MasterCook the breaks between recipe parts.
- The five @ symbols are important because they tell MasterCook when a new recipe begins.
- No other text should be on the line with the @ symbols.
- All text needs to be aligned to the left with no indentations.
- Do NOT use fraction symbols. They must be three characters instead, such as 1/2.


5 Digital Product Examples That Are Created And Sold Most
by Alex Mansour
2 months ago · 3 min read
The huge spread of digital technologies and e-commerce has made us see what are known as digital products. Unlike physical products that have been known for years, digital products don't have a physical existence. But they still make huge sales, with many digital product examples that may use or consume every day.
digital products
Having digital products, as a business or individual, can have many advantages. You can sell these digital products more easily. Without having to make huge investments or build warehouses or factories.
If you are considering making a digital product, here are examples of some of the most widely sold and created digital products that you can create and sell as a person or a business.
Software or application
One of the most widely created and sold digital products is software products. Many of the software that you use daily is digital products by businesses or individuals. They can be in the form of PC software, a mobile application, or a web app.
Whether it is software for editing photos or a mobile application for listening to music. It is a digital product that makes money for the business behind it. The software industry is growing rapidly around the world. Many software products are becoming more and more important.
While businesses can create their software themselves, they can also outsource their software to a software development company.
The transition from physical book copies to digital book copies was just a matter of time. Right now the transition is happening at high rates. As more and more people are reading books digitally instead of physical books.
With many choices of laptops, tablets, mobile phones with large screens, and ebook readers like Amazon Kindle, fewer people are in need of physical book copies.
Ebooks are emerging widely since then and became something on their own. Becoming a new publication that businesses and individuals can use to deliver information to audiences. That is without the hassle of traditional publishing.
Ebooks are often in an informal language just like any web content. They have no limitations for page numbers or any other aspect. Any business or individual can create an Ebook to let people learn something, conclude or explain it with infographics or checklists.
Audio and video
One of the biggest examples of digital products currently is audio and video products. Whether they are audiobooks, audio files that you can use as resources, or videos published in one of many ways. They are all digital products that people and businesses sell.
With cheaper equipment and platforms for anyone to sell or publish audio and video. Anyone and any business can create high-quality audio and video. In addition, they can sell them or publish them to help them share knowledge or achieve business goals.
Video games
The video games industry is one of the biggest industries when it comes to digital products. Therefore, for people to buy and enjoy video games, whether, for PCs, game consoles, or mobile phones, you can buy them digitally.
Not all video games are big and created by huge companies. Either one person or a small team creates them, they are still making big amounts of money. Which is the greatest thing about digital game platforms like Steam. One of the best things about digital products, as an individual or business, can benefit no matter how small it is.
Online courses
Online courses are among the biggest examples of digital products, considering how widely spread and popular they are. Most of us have enrolled in an online course or more. They are a great solution for learning that the digital world is offering us.
Anyone can create an online course and sell it online. Even without needing to create a platform from scratch to sell it, platforms like Udemy and Teachable make it much easier.

Objective: To describe a technique for treating pyometra in dogs using a 3-portal laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy (LAOVH) and evaluate outcome. Study Design: Retrospective case series. Animals: Dogs (n=12). Methods: Dogs with open or closed-cervix pyometra with moderately sized (1-4cm) uterine horn diameters based on preoperative ultrasonography and no evidence of perforation were included in the study. A 3-portal technique for LAOVH was used. A wound retraction device was inserted into the caudal portal after enlargement of the incision to 3-4cm to simplify removal of the uterus with minimal tension. Results: Twelve dogs (median weight, 23.3kg; range, 2.1-46.0kg) met the inclusion criteria. Median uterine diameter was 3.0cm (range, 1.2-4.0cm). Median surgical time for LAOVH was 107minutes (range, 82-120minutes). Complications included mild hemorrhage from the uterine vessels in 1 dog during uterine removal through the wound retraction device and intra-abdominal uterine rupture in 1 dog which necessitated conversion to an open approach. All dogs recovered from surgery and were discharged. Conclusions: LAOVH can be used for treatment of select cases of canine pyometra. Careful case selection is mandatory to improve success and minimize conversion to an open approach. Gentle handling of the reproductive organs is imperative to avoid iatrogenic uterine rupture.

Police in Brazil Killed Record Amount of People in 2020
An average of 17 people a day, totaling at least 6,416 people, were killed by police in Brazil during the year of 2020. These staggering totals set the highest amount ever recorded since tracking police killings in the country of over 211 million people. The 2020 numbers, compiled by the Brazilian Public Security Forum, are a 190% increase from 2013. Black Brazilians were killed at the highest rate, accounting for 79% of the deaths by police while only representing 56% of the population.
Non-profit Brazilian Public Security Forum released the data in their annual Brazilian Yearbook of Public Security which analyzes information provided by state, public security, civil, military, and federal police, among other sources. Over 11,000 people were killed by police during the five-year period of 2009-2013, averaging around 2,240 killings a year by police.
The vast majority of the families of those killed by police never receive justice and the lack of accountability has led to the Human Rights Watch seeking a dedicated prosecutorial body, not directly connected to the police, to handle cases of police abuse.
Large criminal organizations controlling swaths of heavily populated Brazilian cities are deeply connected to security forces controlled by the military and state and draw their roots from the two decades of Brazilian military dictatorship that ended in 1985. Evidence shows police involvement in criminal factions, militias, and death squads, like those linked to President Jair Bolsonaro's family that killed Marielle Franco in 2018, a human rights advocate and politician. These connections have helped to fuel the rise in police killings and allow for little accountability.

In the state of Rio de Janeiro, well known worldwide for its city with the same name, beautiful beaches and its nightlife, police killed 1,245 people in 2020. Based on the population of the state, one in every 12,851 residents are killed by police. Comparatively, police killed 1,126 people in the U.S. in 2020, which is one in every 291,296 residents. According to research collective Mapping Police Violence, of the 1,126 killed by U.S. police last year, 28% were Black, despite the Black population being only 13% of the total country.
Ultimately, the numbers from Brazil are staggering in comparison to the U.S. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, the police are 2,167 times more likely to kill you in than in the U.S.

The state of Rio de Janeiro also recorded seven of the top ten cities with the highest rates of police violence: Japeri, Itaguaí, Angra dos Reis, São Gonçalo, Queimados, Mesquita and Belford Roxo.
Those killings have continued in 2021, despite the Federal Supreme Court (STF) prohibiting police raids in the favelas (ADFP 635) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In late March 2021, Rio de Janeiro resident, Thainã de Meideiros, told Unicorn Riot that although ordered to stop raids, the police keep "coming up with excuses" to violate the legislative ruling.
Meideiros is part of the Papo Reto Collective, an organization focused on human rights, culture, harm reduction, health, and education in Complexo do Alemão, a large group of favelas in Rio de Janeiro.
Papo Reto was among a coalition of other collectives, including Black movement groups and those ran by mothers and relatives of lost loved ones from the favelas, as the initial groups to conjure up the motions that the STF ruled upon, the ADPF 635, or 'ADPF of the Favelas'. Setting a historical precedent, with ADPF 635 enacted, these collectives are recognized as amici curiae (advisors with the court based on their special expertise).
An ADPF is a Claim of Non-Compliance with a Fundamental Precept, a lawsuit claiming a violation of the Brazilian constitution by a governmental agency. Citing excessive police violence and new security policies allowing further abuses, the lawsuit was filed by the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) in 2019.
In August 2020, the STF confirmed the claim of non-compliance and ordered the halting of violent police operations. Yet, police operations continued in certain favelas. In April 2021, Supreme Court Justice Edson Fachin ruled in favor of requests in the motions and in June 2021, the STF issued an emergency restraining order on the police.
In short, it is proposed that the State of Rio de Janeiro prepare and submit to the STF, within a maximum period of 90 (ninety) days, a plan aimed at reducing police lethality and controlling human rights violations by the security forces in Rio de Janeiro, which contains objective measures, specific timetables and forecast of the necessary resources for its implementation. In addition, ADPF 635 addresses the following topics: end of the use of helicopters in police operations, protection of schools, guarantee of the right to participation and social control in public security policies, allowing participation and access to justice, expertise, and evidence to civil society and social movements as one of the main tools in resolving investigations into cases of murder and enforced disappearances.
ADPF 635 – Public Ministry of the State of Rio de Janeiro
Enforcing the 'ADPF of the Favelas' has, however, proven difficult after the STF ruling. Civil and military police made what many deem as reprisal killings in several districts to show they don't answer to the courts. Prosecutors have also been overruling Access to Information laws and making police records inaccessible to the public. For a deeper look into ADPF 635, see RioOnWatch's two part installment: 1, 2.
Meideiros lives in Complexo do Alemão, Rio de Janeiro, which has seen its share of military and police occupations and terror. Three months before STF ordered the suspension of police operations, 13 people were killed by police in one operation in Complexo do Alemão.
Just 15 minutes away from Alemão is Jacarezinho, Rio de Janeiro. On May 6, 2021, authorities committed the deadliest massacre in Brazilian history, killing 28 people during a failed police operation targeting drug traffickers in the favela. One officer died during the operation that lasted nearly seven hours with many of the 28 deaths occurring execution style.
The police denied wrongdoing, saying there were no irregularities or excesses of abuse. The operation had the initial objective of arresting 21 people under investigation, and led to the death of 28, not all of whom had arrest warrants. Three were arrested in total. This initially led to many organizations and even governmental agencies coming out in defense of the dead and the residents before falling silent with the fear of possible retaliation looming.
Over time, the "massacre" of Jacarezinho has fallen into national oblivion. Despite the murderous raid being so recent, there are almost no media discussions or local or national conversation about the operation anymore. This can likely be attributed to the fact that many peripheral Brazilians (those living in the favelas and peripheries of inner cities) have become desensitized to this type of violence. Decades of military occupations and urban pacification by armed authorities in Brazil have caused widespread cognitive dissonance and mental trauma.
"In no country in the world would the 28 deaths in one police intervention have been accepted and forgotten. But, we are in Brazil and here everything ends up in samba and/or pizza.
Anonymous Brazilian
Beyond Rio de Janeiro, there were over 5,000 more people killed by police throughout the country last year, including 814 killed in São Paulo. In lower-income territories, police abusing their authority is common and mistrust occurs between them and the community they serve.

Due to continuing police killings, many states are taking steps in attempts to reduce the number of deaths. A total of 18 police battalions in the state of São Paulo now have body cameras. This has resulted in a 53% reduction in the amount of police killings in the state and in June 2021 no one was killed by officers outfitted with cameras. Yet, military police not outfitted with cameras killed 22 that month.
Even with the new measures starting to be enacted to quell police terror throughout the country, already 6,160 people in Brazil have been killed as of September 7, 2021; pacing the country for another record-setting year of police killings.

Six Sigma Key Process Output Variable Overview
Key Process Output Variables are used to measure the effectiveness of projects that are designed to improve business processes.
For example, a project that was undertaken to increase the profit margins on t-shirts by using a cheaper fabric supplier, would evaluate the project's success depending on whether customers continued to buy them, or if sales decreased due to poor customer satisfaction.
The end-goal profit margins, number of sales, and customer complaints are examples of output variables (KPOV), whereas the decision to change suppliers is an example of input variables (KPIV).
This article will look at:
- What Six Sigma KPOVs are
- How to identify them
- The role KPOVs play in DMAIC processes
What are KPOVS
A Key Process Output Variable (KPOV) is an outcome yielded by a process and is defined by Key Process Input Variables (KPIV). Depending on their placement, KPOVs may also become KPIVs for the next stage within a process journey. KPOVs need to measured and tracked to ensure that any Six Sigma led tweaks to KPIVs are generating the right result (i.e. a more positive KPOV).
It is important to remember that KPOVs should be measured before any process improvements are made as this gives a base-line with which to make a comparison.
KPOVs can be summarised as:
- Business processes that produce an output
- Characteristics that have a big impact on efficiency and/or customer satisfaction
- Responsible for lower levels of quality and reliability when allowed to vary too widely
How Are KPOVs Identified?
KPOVs are usually identified by mapping out business processes, usually using the SIPOC (Supplier, Input, Process, Output and Customer) method. By identifying these simple variables, you can develop a richer picture of how your business processes interact. For example:
- Supplier – DIY Store
- Input – Buy wood
- Process –Build fence
- Output – Protects pets from wild animals
- Customer - Pets
Through the use of these Six Sigma modelling techniques, it is possible to build up a picture of the various inputs and outputs of a process. By estimating the importance of each characteristic on a scale of 1-10 - where 1 is unimportant and 10 is critically important – businesses can measure the extent to which input variables have an impact and cause an output variable.
The sum of these weighted scores is used to rank the output variables to determine which deserve the most analytical attention. Processes that are more central to a customer's overall experience of doing business with your company will naturally be seen as mo9re important and so will have the largest number of important KPOVs to address and manage.
Six Sigma training can help your team identify the processes that define the way you do business, monitor and analyse them, and then suggest suitable, business-enhancing improvements. By tracking processes, you'll also work towards defining minimum expectations for your business performance and identify the key areas that can be refined and improved.

KPOVs and Six Sigma DMAIC Process
Six Sigma methodology follows a rigid roadmap for process improvement and problem solving, which focuses on the stages of DMAIC (define-measure-analyse-improve-control). KPOVs are the focus of the entire process, but central to 2 phases.
- Key aspects of the project 'as is' are measured and applicable data is collected
- KPOVs are defined
- Measurement integrity of KPOV's is confirmed
- Measurement plan is developed and a baseline for performance is established
- Cause-and-effect relationships are verified, ensuring that all factors have been considered.
- Root causes of defects are investigated and the relationship between response variables and control variables is established
- Process capabilities for KPOVs is established
- Relationships between KPOVs and control variables are established

Industry-exclusive Articulated Truck Steering
Fast, accurate cornering decreases cycle times by five percent, increasing productivity while ensuring maximum safety and unsurpassed traction for high speed hauling. Volvo's industry-exclusive steering system allows the body to always monitor the tractor unit so the operator doesn't have to correct for steering adjustments typically found in traditional articulated truck steering system.
Advantages of Volvo Steering
Volvo articulated trucks function with precision throughout the life of the articulated hauler, maximizing production and safe high speed operations. The centering steering value ensures a smooth, steady automotive "feel" to the system. Ultimately, the hydromechanics are easy to steer, even at low engine speeds and in tough off-road conditions.
 - Self-compensating, precision steering
 - Maximizes productivity
 - Outstanding operator control
 - Increased safety at high speeds
Components of Steering
A mechanical feedback rod connects to the hitch at one end, and the steering valve at the other. This centers the steering valve after any steering movement. The steering linkage joins the rack and pinion to ensure the steering angle is proportional to the number of turns of the steering wheel.

A systematic review of prevalence and risk factors associated with playing related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) in pianists.
MetadataShow full item record
Background Playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) are a recognized problem amongst instrumental musicians. Although pianists are prominent in data regarding prevalence of PRMDs, there is poor understanding of piano-specific risk factors associated with PRMDs. Aim To synthesize published literature on the prevalence of and risk factors associated with PRMDs in pianists. Methods Thirty-eight databases were searched. Eligible studies were those investigating prevalence of or risk factors associated with PRMDs in pianists, using an appropriate methodology according to a hierarchy of evidence. Information regarding study population, operational definition of PRMD, risk factors investigated, statistical tests used and outcomes was extracted and narratively synthesized for all eligible papers above an arbitrarily chosen quality score. Results The literature search identified 482 citations. Fifty-two papers were ranked in a hierarchy of evidence; 12 were eligible for evaluation using a quality assessment tool. Common methodological limitations included sampling/measurement biases, inadequate reporting of reliability/validity of outcome measures, lack of operational definition of PRMD and no statistical significance testing. Prevalence rates for PRMDs in pianists varied widely (26–93%). Four authors demonstrated statistically significant risk factors; however, no authors combined a clear operational definition of PRMD with statistically established risk factors. There was no consensus between authors regarding risk factors. Conclusions Current evidence does not provide sufficient information regarding prevalence of and risk factors associated with PRMDs in pianists. Future studies should provide an operational definition of PRMD, use valid, reliable measurement tools, utilize a prospective cohort study design and perform appropriate statistical tests.

Primary school bans anti-bullying book after mum complains about racist language
Friday, 19th January 2018, 10:28 am
Updated Friday, 19th January 2018, 10:28 am
A primary school has banned an anti-bullying book after a mum complained about the word 'P***' being used in a chapter about racist abuse.
Jay Desai, 39, claimed she was horrified when her nine-year-old daughter was told by teachers to read 'Deadly Letter' by Mary Hoffman.
The book, published in 1990, tells the fictional story of a girl called Prity who had just arrived in England from India.
During a three-page passage in the book, the word 'P***' was used to describe Prity's abuse at the hands of school bullies.
Greswold Primary School in Solihull, West Mids., has now removed the book from the library after Mrs Desai lodged a complaint with headteacher Karen Scott.
Mrs Desai, of Solihull, said: "I don't know how it was published in the first place let alone distributed to schools.
"It makes comments about white people - all again very disgusting especially when the book is aimed at six and seven-year-olds.
"The school have been excellent in the way they dealt with the issue.
"They listened to my opinion and took on board my concerns.
"In certain situations, if being someone was being bullied, the book could be great as it shows how a child feels when they are being bullied.
"But I don't think that particular word should be used in a book, especially one aimed at children."
Mind your language
Mrs Desai even tweeted the author about her concerns but Mrs Hoffman defended her choice of language.
In a statement, she said: "I am very sorry if anyone was upset or offended by my book, which was the opposite of my intention.
"I wrote the story partly to highlight casual racism which begins even in primary schools.
"My husband is half-Indian, I have three mixed-race children, now adults, and have been fighting racism all my adult writing life."
Parents whose children attend the school, which caters for 332 pupils aged 5-11 and rated 'Good' by Ofsted last year, were split on the decision to ban the book.
One dad, whose son attends the school, said: "Having read the book with my son, I think the word 'P***' as awful as it is, is appropriate.
"The word is used in the context of bullying and kids should learn from an early age that this word is not acceptable under any circumstances.
"I'm disappointed the school has bowed to pressure and banned the book from their library. Racism should be tackled head on, not swept under the carpet."
Racism lessons
Another mum added: "I think kids of ten or 11 need to be taught racism but young kids should be protected.
"It's like swear words, you wouldn't tell a six-year-old off for swearing because they don't know what they're saying but older kids need to be told what is ok to say."
Publishers Barrington Stoke defended the book, saying the context of the word 'P***' being used was appropriate.
A spokesperson said: "As publishers, we have every confidence in Mary's ability to tackle the difficult subject of playground racism and bullying truthfully and with sensitivity.
"The use of this offensive term is challenged in different ways - and there is absolutely no sense in which the word is seen as acceptable.
"Our belief is that this story shows a proper, nuanced understanding of the issues involved in a way that we hope is appropriate for young readers."

Vermiculation is decoration of a surface by means of random channels resembling worm-tracks or honeycomb. In masonry this is typically a process of carving or finishing of building stones with irregular grooves.
In Australian terrace houses, it is often done using the same process with stucco render. Vermiculation is typically found on projecting sections of party walls, where the roof and floors meet with the party walls. It is sometimes also found as a frieze below the cornice or above it on the parapet. Rarely it is found on the facade itself or other stuccoed architectural elements made to resemble stone such as gates.

Volcano Pose
If your child is about 4 years old or younger, they will learn new movements by looking at and copying others. Therefore it is best to do Volcano pose with your child or toddler so they can see what to do.
Volcano pose will give your own shoulders and chest a wonderful stretch too.
How to do volcano pose
 1. Find a clear space and encourage your toddler or child to stand opposite you.
 2. Together, curl up really small on the floor, as a 'sleeping volcano'.
 3. Sleep for a few seconds "1, 2, 3…" (count out loud with your child)
 4. Then, suddenly, ERUPT! Come up onto your knees and spread your arms out wide!
 5. Move from one knee to the other or gently twist from side to side to as your volcano continues to shower it's lava everywhere!
The benefits of volcano pose
1. Strengthen arm, leg & core muscles
The movements of this pose promote whole-body strength.
2. Improve balance skills
As you get up quickly up from the floor in volcano pose, you will challenge your balance skills, through stimulating your body senses i.e. your proprioceptive and your vestibular sense. These balance reactions are important not only for sporting activities like football or dance but also for sitting in a good position to write. Children develop mature balance skills at about seven years of age. If your child is younger they will largely be using their sight to keep their balance. It is by moving around and quickly changing position that children progress their abilities so they need not have to rely on looking so much to keep their balance. Unfortunately our own sense of balance slowly deteriorates as we age. We can help to control this by doing activities such as Volcano pose.
3. Gently stretch chest, shoulder & arm muscles
Volcano pose will give you both an opportunity to stretch out your arm, shoulder and chest muscles, just like our growing flower pose last week. Remember this type of pose is great for your child after they have been sitting down for a while.
4. Let off steam!
The explosive movement of volcano pose allows your child to express their emotions. Hence this activity will make a great 'movement break' if your child is getting frustrated with a complex task or problem. Be careful though, do not do the pose too many times as then your child may then find it hard to calm down!
5. Develop imagination & creativity
As your child imagines what shape and colour their volcano will be, they will use their imagination & develop their creative skills. You might ask some questions to help fire their imagination further:
 1. What is the weather like at the top of your volcano today?
 2. Can you see the horizon from up there? What is the landscape around your volcano?
A more challenging volcano pose
If your child is older, guide them to start by squatting on the balls of their feet as a 'sleeping volcano'. Then quickly come up into standing to erupt!
Try to encourage your child to do this without putting their hands on the ground to further refine their balance skills.
Calming down after volcano pose
Volcano is an energising pose! Sometimes children can find it difficult to calm down after their volcano has 'erupted'. Help counteract this by suggesting that your volcano goes back to sleep.
 1. Show your child how to use their hands to push/stroke firmly downwards along their body & limbs as 'flowing lava'. This will provide a calming and regulating deep touch, stimulating their proprioceptive sense.
 2. Move slowly from a high, volcano pose back down into a curled-up, dormant volcano pose (similar to mouse pose).
 3. Suggest to your child that their dormant volcano is now being squashed under a heavy rock and encourage them to imagine this by squeezing themselves into a tight ball.

- coddle (verb)
- What does it mean?
- : to treat with extreme care : pamper
- How do you use it?
- "Big Ma was not one for coddling any of us, but now she turned from the stove and, wiping her hands on her long white apron, sat down on the bench and put her arm around Little Man." (Mildred D. Taylor, _Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry_)
- Are you a word wiz?
The "pamper" sense of "coddle" comes from an earlier meaning that had to do with a special kind of careful treatment given to something delicate. What do you think was treated so carefully?We're not going to coddle you, just tell you that A is the right answer. When "coddle" first came to be part of the English language around 1600, the word meant to cook something slowly and gently in water that is just below the boiling point. Usually eggs are what's being cooked when "coddle" is used in this sense today, but when "coddle" was first being used, other foods, especially fruit, were also cooked by coddling. Because coddling is a very gentle way to cook something, such gentle treatment led to the extended meaning of "to treat with extreme care, pamper."

Using plotmaple to return multiple plots
I need to generate 4 different plots (one for each multiple choice option).
Is there a way to get all 4 plots using just one plotmaple call?
I currently have 4, and the question seems sluggish when previewing. I'm wondering if it is because of all the back and forth between Maple TA and Maple.
4 separate calls for plots shouldn't be sluggish, I would follow up with support on that concern, however you also have the following option:
I have used this many times.. use the Plots:-display command to display multiple color plots on the same grid, with a legend indicating what choice is what line. For example redLine=choiceA blueLine=choiceB.. etc
Here is a simple to follow example that illustrates this and also uses an algorithmic answer in the multiple choice:
Link to.zip file that can be imported into your Mobius Course (it contains a single question).
Hope it works out for you,
Have you tried using an array of plots?

 1. For a mapping between two Euclidean spaces, is it a linear conformal mapping if and only if it is a similarity transformation?
 My answer is yes, because the Jacobian matrix of a conformal transformation is everywhere a scalar times a rotation matrix.
 Note that both allow reflection, i.e. change of orientation.
 2. Is it correct that a conformal mapping may not be an affine nor projective transformation, because it may not be linear?
Thanks and regards!

1 Answer 1
 1. Yes, for elementary reasons. Let $f$ be a linear conformal map and apply this to any triangle $ABC$. Then $f(AB),f(BC),f(CA)$ will be lines by linearity, and by conformality $f(ABC)$ will have the angles of $ABC$ so they will be similar therefore $f$ is a similarity mapping.
 2. Yes, consider inversion with respect to a fixed circle.

text: A method for estimating the sideslip angle of a Formula SAE vehicle with torque vectoring is presented. Torque vectoring introduces large tire longitudinal forces which lead to a reduction of the tire lateral forces. A novel tire model is utilized to represent this reduction of the lateral forces. The estimation is realized using an extended Kalman filter which takes in standard sensor measurements. The developed algorithm is tested by simulating slalom and figure eight maneuvers on a validated VI-CarRealTime vehicle model. Results indicate that the algorithm is able to estimate the sideslip angle of the vehicle reliably on a high friction surface track.


Pathology dictionary
Negative for malignancy
What does negative for malignancy mean?
Negative for malignancy means that no cancer cells were seen when the tissue sample was examined under the microscope. Pathologists use the word malignant to describe cancers.
This result is typically used when only a small sample of tissue is sent for examination under the microscope. This kind of sample could be a biopsy, fine needle aspiration, or Pap smear.
Your pathologist can only provide a diagnosis based on the tissue sample sent for examination. For that reason, negative for malignancy only means that no cancer cells were seen in the small sample examined. If your doctor is still concerned that a cancer may be present, they may recommend performing a second procedure to provide the pathologist with more tissue to examine under the microscope.
The opposite of negative for malignancy is positive for malignancy.

While ginseng can legally be harvested from the national forests, there are several restrictions. The roots can only be dug at certain times of year, there's a limit on how many you can take, and only larger roots can be taken. Ginseng diggers must also have a permit.
So far this year, Forest Service officials caught and arrested nine people for illegally possessing ginseng. The average ginseng poacher was caught with 25 roots and ultimately spent about two weeks in jail. This year, the forest has seen a sharp increase in violations issued to plant poachers over previous years.
Conservationists, botanists and others are concerned about the decline of ginseng populations, and poaching may eventually cause harvests to be restricted.
Ginseng root has been favored as a tonic with exports to East Asia for the past two-and-a-half centuries. In North Carolina, the plant primarily occurs in the mountains. The Forest Service continues to monitor the harvest in the national forests in North Carolina to ensure the future viability of the plant.
Removing any plant or its parts from national forest land without a permit or outside of the legal harvest season is considered theft. Every national forest plant is public property, which means plant thieves are robbing all citizens of a resource that is collectively owned. Penalties for plant poaching may include a fine up to $5,000 or six-month sentence in federal prison, or both.
"Unfortunately, not everyone respects the rules, and there are times when we need to take action. In recent years, the punishment for ginseng poaching has included up to 30 days in jail for a first-time, misdemeanor offense in some Western North Carolina cases," said Bail. "Poachers need to understand that the federal courts are taking plant theft, as well as wildlife poaching, very seriously and that the penalties for such acts may be harsh."
Visitors to the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests must obtain a permit to collect ginseng during the designated harvest season, which runs Sept. 1 through 30. Ginseng permits cost $40 per wet pound. An individual may purchase up to three wet pounds annually although harvest is prohibited in Wilderness and Natural Areas.

Finger Dowsing: How To Tell If Your Partner Is Faithful – by Tana Hoy
Did you know that you can use a secret psychic method of divination to tell if your partner is faithful? You don't have to use a pendulum, or other psychic tools such as Tarot cards to get this information. All you need is your mind, your will, and your index finger, to get an answer!
Finger Dowsing - An Excellent Method To Find Answers
To dowse is when you try to search for hidden objects, like water or treasures, with the use of instruments such as pendulums and dowsing rods. When you dowse with your finger, your finger becomes like a human dowsing rod. Instead of lusing it to look for objects, you can use it to find answers to questions, especially questions about love and relationships.
Learning to dowse with your finger is actually very convenient because you can do it very discreetly. For example, while you're sitting across from your date in a restaurant, waiting for your food to be served, you can secretly divine an answer to find out if he or she is really interested in having a relationship with you. Or when you are standing in line behind your partner, you can use it to see if they are being faithful, or telling the truth about something!
How To Be A Finger Dowser
Certain preparation is needed if you're going to use this finger technique to dowse, especially when it's your first time. But the most important advice I can give is, always try clear your mind of jealousy, vengeful thoughts, self-doubt, and other negative emotions, when using this method, as this will greatly affect the answer you will get.
Here are the steps you need to do to prepare yourself for using this method:
1. Every day for several days, spend time in a quiet room.
2. Focus your attention on the tip of your index finger – if you're right-handed, use your left index finger, and if you're left-handed, use your right one.
3. Visualize in your mind that the tip of your finger is like an antenna for receiving psychic energy. Imagine it becoming hyper sensitive to the energy of your surroundings.
4. Be clear in your mind that your index finger is for receiving vibrations, not sending them out, because you don't want to accidentally zap someone with your focused energy.
5. Point it at different objects in the room, and try to sense their energy through your finger.
How To Calibrate Your Finger
After a few minutes of doing this, you will need to calibrate your finger:
1. First, point your index finger at nothing in particular, and hold it steady for a few moments, and then start moving it up and down. Affirm in youe mind that this up and down movement means "yes." Keep practicing this until you feel comfortable associating this finger movement with a "yes" answer.
2. Next, point your finger steadily forward again, and move it from side to side, allowing yourself to accept that this means "no." Repeat this until you feel comfortable knowing that this is a "no" answer!
3. Now, point your finger steadily forward again but this time move it in a circular finger movement. Program your mind to know that this means "uncertain."
Now, practice asking yes or no questions that you know the answer to. For example, point your finger at the lamp and ask yourself, "Is the lamp turned on?", etc. See if you can get a response.
You will need to practice this exercise several times a day, whenever possible. Don't fret if you don't get a response right away. It takes lots of practice and patience.
Once you're confident of your ability at getting answers using finger dowsing, you are ready to use this technique to answer your question about your partner.
How To Finger Dowse
- Before you meet your partner, spend some time meditating. You need to clear your mind of negative emotions, and be as relaxed as possible.
- As you meditate, focus your mind on this person. Try to see him or her objectively – as a person. Imperfect, yet perfect in his or her own right.
- After a while, form the question you want to ask. Remember, it has to be answerable by yes or no, and it needs to be objective so your personal emotions won't influence the outcome.
- Ask your question several times inside your mind. Then let it go.
- Relax your mind for another few minutes, then slowly bring yourself out of your meditative state.
Finger Dowsing is really simple to do!
1. Look for an opportunity where you can discreetly use your finger dowsing. You can do it under the table, or while you're watching a movie. Just make sure that you do it discreetly, since no one enjoys being pointed at.
2. Point your finger discreetly at your partner.
3. Ask your question inside your head.
4. Wait for your finger to give you an answer.
Now, remember, if you get an answer you don't particularly like, it's not good manners to start a fight or storm out. It's always best to talk it over, and settle the score.
If you want to know if someone is faithful, or confirm what you suspect, during a psychic reading I can give you the right advice and show you how to handle this situation! You can schedule a psychic reading with me by clicking here now!


Order of Calatrava
Order of Calatrava, in full Military Order of Calatrava, Spanish Orden Militar de Calatrava, major military and religious order in Spain. The order was originated in 1158 when King Sancho III of Castile ceded the fortress of Calatrava to Raymond, abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Fitero, with instructions to defend it against the Moors. The order of knights and monks who defended the fort was formally recognized by the pope in 1164, and it became closely affiliated with the Cistercian abbey of Morimond in 1187.

The theist pump is used to extract and examine the contents of the fish's throat before it reaches its stomach. This helps discover what trout are feeding on allowing you to accurately match the food source. This study of the trout's food source dramatically improves catch rates. The pump is made of a rubber bulb and a small diameter plastic tapered straw which is easy to operate.
TO USE: Cradle fish in hand in a horizontal position with gentle but steady pressure. Fill the pump with water, then empty bulb so only the straw contains water. With bulb collapsed slide the tube gently into the fish. Squirt a few drops of water into the fish's throat then release the pressure on the bulb. The contents of the fish's throat will be drawn into the straw. With smaller fish use less suction. Release fish, squeeze contents of the pump into palm or vial to examine.


HepvO® is the innovative hygienic Self Sealing Waste Valve. It replaces the traditional water-seal trap and prevents the escape of foul sewer air from waste discharge systems. Unlike conventional waste traps, HepvO® does not rely on trapped water to create a seal. Water seals are prone to failure by Evaporation, Siphonage and other Mechanisms. Instead, HepvO® uses a self sealing membrane which performs the same function as a water seal trap but without the risk of depletion or freezing.
HepvO® actively eliminates negative pressure within the waste system by opening and allowing in fresh air until a state of equilibrium with atmosphere is reached. This means that secondary venting of the waste system via the inclusion of air admittance valves in the waste system is no longer necessary.
Enhance Plumbing Design
The HepvO® valve can be installed vertically or horizontally (with an adaptor) and is available and 1.5 and 1.25. This enables valuable space-saving opportunities to be achieved.

Status conference is a legally mandated, court-ordered meeting with a judge (or sometimes an authorized counsel). The purpose behind it is to:
- Determine a date for the trial
- Obtain updated information on the defendant with ongoing conditions pre-set by the courts (like house arrest or home monitoring)
- If a party does not attend a status conference, the party's requests regarding scheduling changes could effectively be ignored.
- If a plaintiff, or a representative for the plaintiff, does not attend the status conference, the case may potentially be dismissed.
Introduction to Status Conferences
Have you ever found yourself muddled up in the complex world of legal proceedings, grappling with jargon like 'status conferences'? Many of us, even those from the legal profession, often struggle with understanding the structural labyrinth that makes up the legal system. Here at JED™ Platform, we're all about making the complex simple, so let's demystify one term: status conference.
A status conference is a critical mainstay in the legal process, intended to streamline case management and ensure efficiency. It is a court-ordered convening with a judge or an authorized counsel, held to lay the groundwork for trial proceedings, keep track of the case's progress, establish trial dates, and to update on any ongoing conditions determined earlier by the courts. Considerably significant, non-attendance at such a conference could potentially have repercussions – it could lead to requests for scheduling changes being overlooked or even result in case dismissals.
In our role of supporting pretrial services at JED™ Platform, we frequently engage with the reality of status conferences and understand the vital part they play within the wider legal landscape. This article will bring clarity on what exactly a status conference means, its purpose, and its implications, aiming to equip you with a clear, practical understanding of the term. Throughout we will prioritize simplicity, aiming to transmute complex ideas into easy-to-grasp concepts, just as we do with our reliable pretrial software solutions.
Status Conference – A Snapshot
Let's dive right in, unfolding what exactly a status conference stands for in the maze of legal terminologies!
The Purpose of a Status Conference
The status conference is a pivotal part of the court proceedings, serving as a platform for vital discussions and decisions. It is a court-ordered event that involves the parties and attorneys involved in a case. The primary purpose of a status conference is twofold: identifying the current status of the case and determining the next steps required to reach disposition.
Identifying the Current Status of the Case
The status conference gives everyone involved in the case a clear understanding of where they currently stand. This involves assessing the progress that has been made since the last status conference or hearing, discussing any conflicts or issues that have arisen, and evaluating the readiness of the parties for the trial.
The lawyers of the parties involved, along with the judge or magistrate, review the evidence, discuss potential resolutions, and address any procedural or substantive issues. This exercise ensures that everyone is on the same page and helps in avoiding any undue surprises or delays during the trial.
Determining the Next Steps Required to Reach Disposition
The status conference is not just about understanding where the case stands but also about planning the way forward. This involves setting timelines for completing pre-trial matters, such as discovery and motions, discussing plea bargains or settlement agreements, and scheduling further hearings or the trial itself.
The judge or magistrate plays a crucial role here, guiding the parties in their next steps and ensuring that the case moves along efficiently. The judge may also suggest mediation or other alternative dispute resolution options if it seems that the case could be resolved without a trial.
At JED™ Platform, we understand the importance of these conferences in the pretrial process. Our pretrial software solutions are designed to assist in fair risk assessments and provide effective monitoring services, ensuring that our clients are well-prepared and informed as they navigate through their legal journey.
In the next section, we'll delve deeper into the role of a status conference in different types of cases.
The Role of a Status Conference in Different Types of Cases
Understanding 'what is a status conference' and its role can greatly benefit our clients as they navigate their legal journey. The nature of a status conference can vary depending on the type of case involved.
Status Conference in Criminal Cases
In a criminal case, a status conference often involves the prosecution and defense attorneys exchanging evidence. This is a critical stage where the strength of each side's case becomes clearer, informing the strategies they will employ moving forward. Additionally, status conferences in criminal cases may also involve discussions about plea bargains. A plea bargain is an agreement in a criminal case where the defendant agrees to plead guilty to a particular charge in return for some concession from the prosecutor. This process can significantly expedite the resolution of a case, sparing the need for a full trial.
Status Conference in Civil Cases
In civil cases, a status conference can take a slightly different turn. Along with the exchange of evidence, attorneys also stipulate to certain terms and begin negotiations on a settlement agreement. A settlement is a resolution between disputing parties about a legal case, reached either before or after court action begins. The role of the judge in a civil status conference can be quite involved as they often give their opinion on settlement offers and coordinate timelines for other pre-trial matters.
Status Conference in Divorce Cases
When it comes to divorce cases, a status conference serves a unique purpose. It offers an opportunity for parties to discuss the progress of the case and what steps need to be taken before the case can be concluded. It also often serves as a platform for negotiation and resolution of issues related to property division, alimony, child custody, and support. By facilitating open lines of communication, a status conference can help prevent prolonged and contentious courtroom battles.
In all types of cases, the status conference plays a pivotal role in ensuring the legal process moves forward in a timely and efficient manner. At JED™ Platform, we are committed to providing our clients with the tools and support they need to navigate these crucial stages of their legal journey.
What Happens at a Status Conference?
When you're asking "what is a status conference," you're likely also curious about what exactly happens during one. Essentially, it's a meeting where attorneys from both sides come together to discuss the progress of the case and plan out the next steps. Here's a closer look at the key aspects of a status conference.
Exchange of Evidence
One of the primary activities during a status conference is the exchange of evidence. Here, the attorneys from both parties share the evidence they have gathered for their case. This can include documents, witness testimonies, or any other information relevant to the case. The aim is to ensure that all parties are on the same page regarding the evidence that will be presented in the trial. In a criminal case, this process often involves the prosecution and defense attorneys exchanging evidence, as noted by Cornell Law School.
Discussion of Plea Bargains or Settlement Agreements
In some instances, a status conference may also involve discussions about plea bargains or settlement agreements. Plea bargains are often discussed in criminal cases, where the defendant may agree to plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a lighter sentence. On the other hand, civil cases may involve discussions about settlement agreements, where the parties aim to resolve the dispute without going to trial.
While it's not necessary that a plea or settlement will be agreed upon during the status conference, the discussion provides an opportunity for attorneys to negotiate and potentially find an acceptable resolution for all parties involved.
Setting Timelines for Pre-Trial Matters
Finally, a status conference often involves setting timelines for various pre-trial matters. This can include deadlines for the submission of evidence, dates for further hearings, or timelines for negotiations. As Cornell Law School points out, sometimes a judge will attend a status conference to give their opinion on plea or settlement offers and set timelines for other pre-trial matters.
In some cases, like in divorce cases, the Magistrate's goal during a status conference is to move your case along as quickly as possible but also carefully, according to Pine Tree Legal Assistance. Therefore, setting clear timelines is a crucial part of ensuring that the case progresses smoothly and efficiently.
At JED™ Platform, we understand the importance of a well-conducted status conference in ensuring that all parties are well-prepared for the trial. Our pretrial software solutions provide robust support to attorneys, helping them prepare effectively for status conferences and other crucial stages of the legal process.
The Consequences of Not Attending a Status Conference
A status conference is a crucial part of the pretrial process, and non-attendance can lead to serious consequences. It's important to understand the implications, so you can make informed decisions about your case.
Ignoring Requests for Scheduling Changes
If a party or their representative fails to attend the status conference, the court may ignore any requests made by that party for scheduling changes. This means that if you or your representative don't show up, you lose the ability to influence the timeline of your case. This could result in inconvenient court dates and deadlines, potentially putting you at a disadvantage as you prepare for trial.
Possible Dismissal of the Action
The consequences can be even more severe if the plaintiff or a representative of the plaintiff doesn't attend the status conference. According to the, the action may be dismissed entirely. In other words, the court might decide to close the case, and you lose the opportunity to pursue your claim or defend against a lawsuit.
It's important to note the role of the JED™ Platform in helping clients navigate these crucial stages of the pretrial process. Our software solutions aid in providing fair risk assessments and robust monitoring services, ensuring you stay on top of your responsibilities and never miss important events like a status conference.
In conclusion, understanding what a status conference is and the consequences of not

Parks and Cemeteries, the section that oversees the development and maintenance of Dog Parks, is piloting the use of pedestrian traffic counters at Dog Park entrance areas. The purpose of the program is to provide baseline data on when and at what volume Dog Parks across the city are being used.
What is the data used for?
Data on volume and time of use is essential to:
- provide a snap shot of when and at what volume Dog Parks are being used;
- build long-term support for City Dog Parks;
- contribute to City processes including capital/maintenance programs, planning, design and program evaluation.
Where is the data collected?
Currently 2 pedestrian traffic counters have been installed at Nathan Cirillo and Borer's Dog Parks. Counters will be rotated to other Dog Parks over time, at which time data will be reviewed.
City of Hamilton Traffic Operations operates a similar program with over 20 counters on trails and pathways, through the Active Transportation Benchmarking program.

What Does It Mean When A Hamster Stands Up?
Have you noticed that every now and then your hamster will stand up on their two back legs? Is this something you need to worry about? What Does It Mean When A Hamster Stands Up?
Hamsters will stand up on their back legs to have a good look and listen to things around them. They will also stand up when they are grooming themselves. If your hamster stands up as you approach them this is a sign of defensive behaviour.
Why Does My Hamster Stand On Its Hind Legs?
A hamster will stand on its hind legs to help them explorer their surroundings. By standing they can get a better view around them and have a good sniff as the air is most likely more free moving.
A hamster standing on its hind legs is also known as meerkating because they exhibit the same posture as a meerkat.
It is very important when a hamster is standing that you do not approach them and try to pick them up as they might show some aggression towards you. At this stage your hamster is in a exploring mode and they do not want to be distracted. If this is the case do not worry because it is normal for them to act this way.
They are in this hunting mode usually because they can smell or see something that is interesting, usually food related. Below is a video showing a hamster standing on its hind legs.
YouTube video
Why Is My Hamster Standing Perfectly Still?
A hamster will stand perfectly still if they have smelt or heard something interesting or threatening and they are not sure where it is. This behaviour is witnessed commonly in wild hamsters, but also domestic hamsters.
It is also common for them to stand perfectly still for minutes at a time. This is a natural for them to do, it has most likely been inherited from wild hamsters because they are seen as prey in the wild and they stay perfectly still to avoid predators.
If your hamster is standing perfectly still you can approach them slowly and gently pick them up, make sure not to scare them and they should start to move around again.
Hamster Falling Asleep Standing Up
If your hamster is falling asleep while standing up it is usually because they have fainted or have not had enough quality sleep recently.
It is not common for hamsters to fall asleep standing up, if they do it once or twice it is nothing to be worried about.
If they are frequently falling sleep standing up then there is most likely an issue that needs to be looked in to. You will need to look at the following two items.
Monitor Sleep Pattern
A healthy hamster requires between six to eight hours of sleep a day. Hamsters also sleep during the day so it should be easy to monitor how much sleep they are having.
YouTube video
During the day keep a record of how much sleep they are getting. It is usual for them to get up a few times during their sleep to go toilet and have a drink.
If they are frequently having less then six hours a day you should take them to the vet as soon as possible.
Typically when a hamster faints they will fall or jump because they are not sure what is happening to them and they are scared.
It should be pretty obvious if your hamster is fainting, take a look at this video for the signs to look out for
YouTube video
The main causes of hamsters fainting include
 - Not eating enough food
 - Not drinking enough water
 - Suffering from an illness
If they are constantly fainting for longer than one day then you will need to take them to a vet to be looked at as soon as possible.

they decided to found their own university < is it correct pls explain
I'm confused with this >> decided to
decided to found >> if to is to+inf >> it has to change like this [to+find] not [to+found] right?
decided to found >> decided +to >> if to is an prep. so it has to change like this [decided to finding]
or if you say in this case found is not participle of find so it means that in this sentence has 2 real verb. In grammatical it cannot has 2 real verb in the sentence without connector right?
I can see why you are confused. Sanjay is right. The infinitive "to" is always followed by a present tense verb.
He finds the treasure. He found the treasure. He decided to find the treasure.
But "decided to found the University" is correct in that it too uses the present tense verb. Why?
Because there are two different verbs that share "found". The verb "found" -- meaning to set up or establish -- and the verb "find" -- meaning to locate or discover.
I hope this helps.

Researching The History Of A Country House
A Guide to Sources & Their Use
Date of publication: 2010
The origins of this book date from the early 1990s when the author began to research the history of his own country house in the Kent Downs at Trimworth, near Canterbury. These early investigations led him to see how Trimworth could be used as a case study in a voyage of discovery which others could also enjoy. The book will be most relevant to the owners of country houses, providing a methodology for the less experienced to trace an exciting pathway of inquiry. It is based on an exploration of a wide range of maps and documentary sources available from local, regional and national archive centres. This fully illustrated guide encourages a systematic process of research into the fascinating and topical subject of house history and makes frequent reference to online sources.

Codes of Connection (CoCo) Consultancy
What are Codes of Connection (CoCo)?
A Code of Connection (CoCo) is used when a formally accredited information system wishes to connect to another "unknown" information system. There are a variety of reasons for wishing to connect information systems together, but they usually involve a requirement to exchange data and information.
This page explains how CoCo works, including services such as N3 and the Gambling Commission.
How does CoCo Work?
A code of connection works by the accredited system stipulating a baseline set of controls to be implemented, or commented on, by the connecting organisation.
These controls are usually selected from best practice (ISO 27002) or, more usually, various HMG Information Assurance requirements.
The controls can broadly be broken down into the following types:
 1. Technical, such as implementing an assured barrier between the two organisations or performing an IT Health Check.
 2. Procedural, such as ensuring that all security incidents are reported to the partner organisation.
 3. Physical, such as ensuring that the physical security of assets is adequate.
 4. People, such as ensuring that all staff involved have appropriate background and identity checks or appropriate education, training and awareness.
When the code of connection is completed, the accredited information system will assess the threat the connecting organisation poses. If it believes that the risks are acceptable, it will authorise the connection.
How stringent a code of connection is depends on the level of assurance required between the participant organisations.
What Specific Codes of Connection (CoCo) services are we likely to require?

Snail dispersal by cars - Part 2
Published evidence for the passive dispersal of land snails, especially of alien species, on cars was the subject of this post. The process is simple: if a car is parked at a spot where there are active snails, some of them may climb on the car and later go wherever the car happens to go.
Here is a piece of evidence that this indeed happens. These pictures of a snail was taken by my friend Selim Dorak on his car in the city of Antalya in southern Turkey. The car was in the parking lot of a store when Selim first saw the snail. He then drove with the snail on the car to his house and thereby demonstrated that dispersal of snails by car, at least over short distances, is possible.
The snail seems to have been a species in the family Hygromiidae. Another possibility is that it was a juvenile Helix, sp. but they usually don't have such pointed spires.

Laser Tag Parties – Interesting, Innovative and Exciting
When it comes to games, many parents will fall back on the usual suspects. These could include games like Pin the Tail or Musical Chairs. However, in recent times, a plethora of games and entertainment options has emerged for kids. For example, laser tag parties are quite popular in Chatswood and the adjoining areas.
Many entertainment services in major cities provide entertainment services for kids. They typically provide a venue, where kids of all ages can have a blast. These facilities usually have ample space for kids to play a wide range of games, including laser tag and skirmish. The latter, in particular, is quite popular. Visit any major shopping centre and you will find kids enjoying a game of laser skirmish in Sydney and other major cities.
In laser tag, each child has a laser tag gun. In addition, the child typically wears a vest that is sensitive to the laser. Thereafter, the participating kids typically enter a dark maze, where they try to tag each other with the laser gun. When a laser beam hits a vest, the vest lights up. This indicates that the child is now out of the game. The winner of the game is the child who remains unconquered without a single tag inside the laser room.

I have Send as permission on a mailbox. When I log on to my mailbox and send an item as the other user, why does the item appear in my Sent Items folder, not the other user's folder?
This behavior is a feature, not a bug. When you send an item, you're the person who's sending it, even if you're doing so on behalf of another user. This behavior is analogous to the way real-world systems work: If I send a fax from my fax machine, the recipient sees my fax number, even if the cover sheet says that the fax is from the president of the United States.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
OpenCV SURF implementation returns a sequence of 64/128 32 bit float values (descriptor) for each feature point found in the image. Is there a way to normalize this float values and take them to an integer scale (for example, [0, 255])?. That would save important space (1 or 2 bytes per value, instead of 4). Besides, the conversion should ensure that the descriptors remain meaningful for other uses, such as clustering.
share|improve this question
2 Answers 2
There are other feature extractors than SURF. The BRIEF extractor uses only 32 bytes per descriptor. It uses 32 unsigned bytes [0-255] as its elements. You can create one like this:
Ptr ptrExtractor = DescriptorExtractor::create("BRIEF");
Be aware that a lot of image processing routines in OpenCV need or assume that the data is stored as floating-point numbers.
share|improve this answer
You can treat the float features as an ordinary image (Mat or cvmat) and then use cv::normalize(). Another option is using cv::norm() to find the range of descriptor values and then cv::convertTo() to convert to CV_8U. Look up the OpenCV documentation for these functions.

text: Background: The production of triterpenes from plants for pharmacological purposes varies in concentration, due to genetic and environmental factors. In vitro culture enables the control and increase of these bioactive molecules. Objective: To evaluate the effect of plant growth regulators and elicitors in the induction of calli and the production of ursolic acid (UA) and oleanolic acid (OA) in Lepechinia caulescens. Materials and Methods: Leaf explants were exposed for the induction of calli at different concentrations and combinations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Methyl jasmonate (MJ) and salicylic acid were used as elicitors. High-performance liquid chromatography method was used to quantify UA and OA content in each treatment. Results: Treatment with 3.0 mg/L of 2,4-D and 0.1 mg/L of BAP produced the best results for calli induction and production of UA (1.57 mg/g dry weight [DW]) and OA (1.13 mg/g DW). Both elicitors facilitated the accumulation of triterpenes. Conclusion: The combination of auxins and cytokinins showed favorable results for the induction of calli. Variation concerning the accumulation of UA and OA was observed between treatments. MJ increased the production of triterpenes five times after 8 h of exposure, compared to control treatment. There is a greater accumulation of UA (16.58 mg/g DW) and OA (1.94 mg/g DW) in leaves of wild plants.

Do plants receive nutrients immediately after application?
No, which is the point of a slow-release plant food. Instead, Osmocote nutrients are released into the soil as replacements
for the nutrients being drawn into the plant's root system.
The temperature of the soil controls the rate at which nutrients are taken up by the plant and the rate at which nutrients are released by the Osmocote granules. The warmer the soil, the faster nutrients are released. Conversely, when soil temperatures drop, so does the release of nutrients.
