French Grammar: Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs
la grammaire française: les verbes réfléchis réciproques
Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs in French help us identify actions done by two or more people – to each other!
Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs are a certain kind of Reflexive Verb in French. Be sure to review the lesson on Reflexive Verbs first before moving on to this lesson!
French Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs take the exact same pronouns as other French reflexive verbs. BUT, Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs are ONLY used in the plural – because the action always involves more than one person/subject.
Remember! The Reciprocal Reflexive Pronoun MUST match the subject(s) involved!
NOUS : ourselves/each other
VOUS : yourselves/each other
SE (or S') : themselves/each other
Note that the pronoun SE becomes S' before any verb that starts with a vowel (such as s'acheter and s'écrire).
Once you understand how to use Reflexive Verbs in French, learning how to use Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs is really easy! Just use the reflexive/reciprocal pronoun in front of the verb (action) that you want to express is mutual. Rule of thumb: If you would use the phrase 'each other' in English, then you'll use a Reciprocal Reflexive Verb in French!
Like Reflexive Verbs, a Reciprocal Reflexive Verb is identified by the reflexive pronoun SE that precedes it in its infinitive form. Here are some common French Reciprocal Reflexive Verbs:
s'acheter : to buy (something for) each other
s'adorer : to adore each other
s'aider : to help each other
s'aimer : to love each other
se comprendre : to understand each other
se connaître : to know each other
se détester : to hate each other
se dire : to tell/say to each other
s'écrire : to write to each other
s'envoyer (des courriels) : to send each other (emails)
se mentir : to lie to each other
se parler : to speak/talk to each other
se plaire : to like each other
se poser des questions : to ask each other questions
se promettre : to promise each other
se regarder : to look at each other
se rencontrer : to meet / to run into each other
se ressembler : to look like each other
se téléphoner : to phone/call each other
se voir : to see each other

What is a continuous sealing machine
A continuous sealing machine is used to seal bags of powders, granules, liquids, etc. This band sealer is novel in structure, simple in operation, and complete in function, pushing and sealing at one time. It has a high degree of automation, which can significantly reduce the workload of workers.
How does a continuous band sealer work
|Maximum load of conveyor table||10kg|
What kind of bags can the continuous band sealer be used to seal
In fact, our machines are suitable for sealing thermoplastic materials (PP, PE, laminates) of any size and length. We offer both horizontal band sealers (where the bag is flat on the conveyor belt) and vertical band sealers (where the bag is in a standing position on the conveyor belt). Our band sealers can be used in a wide range of applications and industries, such as pharmaceutical, food, agriculture, daily chemical, etc. Besides, you also should notice the bags used for the vacuum sealer, granule packaging machine for 5-50kg.
The structure of the continuous sealing machine
The details of the continuous band sealer
Why do we need a continuous sealing machine
In Taizy Company, our continuous sealing machine has the following advantages:
- The body is made of stainless steel, with beautiful appearance and strong stability. Small machine size makes it easy to maintain and portable.
- The operation panel is simple and easy to operate, and the temperature can be adjusted at any time.
- The heating block and cooling block of the machine are made of pure copper block. The pure copper heating block makes the bag sealing area heated evenly, and the cooling block dissipates heat with cold air to help the sealing set quickly. By the way, the heating block is attached with a heat insulation cloth, so there is no need to worry about the melting of the bag due to the high temperature.
- The metal embossing wheel seal is firm and beautiful, and the pattern is clear and the indentation is flat. Ink wheel with printing wheel can meet the manufacturers' needs for printing the production date and shelf life, etc.

Rolling Resistance (Fuel Efficiency)
Rolling resistance will use a classification from best performance (green category "A") through to the worst performance (red category "G") – category "D" is not being used.
Rolling resistance is the main key factor in measuring the energy efficiency of a tyre. It has direct influence on the fuel consumption of a vehicle. Fuel efficiency is important to reduce both CO2 emissions and the cost of driving.
The difference between each category means a reduction or increase in fuel consumption of between 2.5%-4.5%. That's a difference of about 0.42-0.56 mpg for a 36 mpg car per category.
This figure will increase even more for light and heavy trucks.

When planning an event, it's crucial to ensure that all attendees, including those with disabilities, have equal access to essential facilities. Portable restrooms play a vital role in providing sanitation solutions, but traditional units may not fully meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. This is where ADA portable restroom trailers come in. In this blog post, we will discuss the advantages of ADA portable restroom trailers and how they make events more accessible for everyone.
Understanding ADA Compliance
Before diving into the advantages of ADA portable restroom trailers, it's important to understand ADA compliance. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various areas, including public accommodations. By adhering to ADA guidelines, event organizers can ensure equal access for all attendees, regardless of their physical abilities.
Advantages of ADA Portable Restroom Trailers
1. Wheelchair Accessibility
One of the primary advantages of ADA portable restroom trailers is their wheelchair accessibility. These trailers are specifically designed to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges. They feature wider doors and spacious interiors that can easily accommodate wheelchairs and mobility devices. With ramps and non-slip flooring, these trailers provide a safe and convenient restroom experience for individuals using wheelchairs.
2. Grab Bars and Handrails
ADA portable restroom trailers are equipped with strategically placed grab bars and handrails to ensure stability and support for individuals with disabilities. These features allow users to safely navigate within the restroom trailer, providing them with the necessary assistance and preventing falls or accidents. The presence of grab bars and handrails is essential for individuals who may have difficulty with balance or require additional support while using the facilities.
3. Height-Adjusted Fixtures
Another significant advantage of ADA portable restroom trailers is the inclusion of height-adjusted fixtures. These trailers are designed with sinks, mirrors, and toilets at appropriate heights, making it easier for individuals with disabilities to use them comfortably and independently. Height-adjusted fixtures ensure that individuals using wheelchairs or with limited mobility can reach and use the facilities without assistance, promoting independence and dignity.
4. Spacious Design
ADA portable restroom trailers offer a spacious and open design to accommodate individuals with disabilities. The larger interior allows for maneuverability and ample space to navigate, especially for individuals using mobility aids or requiring assistance from caregivers. The spacious design also benefits individuals with claustrophobia or anxiety, providing a more comfortable and accessible restroom experience.
5. Family-Friendly Features
In addition to catering to the needs of individuals with disabilities, ADA portable restroom trailers also include family-friendly features. These features include changing stations for parents with infants or young children, ensuring that families have accessible and convenient facilities at the event. The inclusion of family-friendly features promotes inclusivity and creates a welcoming environment for attendees of all ages.
ADA portable restroom trailers are a game-changer when it comes to making events more accessible for individuals with disabilities. These trailers offer numerous advantages, from wheelchair accessibility to grab bars, height-adjusted fixtures, and spacious designs. By providing equal access to restrooms, event organizers can create an inclusive and welcoming environment, ensuring that everyone can fully participate in the event. ADA portable restroom trailers not only meet the requirements of ADA compliance but also demonstrate a commitment to accessibility for all attendees, regardless of their abilities.

text: We present a framework for training GANs with explicit control over generated facial images. We are able to control the generated image by settings exact attributes such as age, pose, expression, etc. Most approaches for manipulating GAN-generated images achieve partial control by leveraging the latent space disentanglement properties, obtained implicitly after standard GAN training. Such methods are able to change the relative intensity of certain attributes, but not explicitly set their values. Recently proposed methods, designed for explicit control over human faces, harness morphable 3D face models (3DMM) to allow fine-grained control capabilities in GANs. Unlike these methods, our control is not constrained to 3DMM parameters and is extendable beyond the domain of human faces. Using contrastive learning, we obtain GANs with an explicitly disentangled latent space. This disentanglement is utilized to train control-encoders mapping human-interpretable inputs to suitable latent vectors, thus allowing explicit control. In the domain of human faces we demonstrate control over identity, age, pose, expression, hair color and illumination. We also demonstrate control capabilities of our framework in the domains of painted portraits and dog image generation. We demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Consider adding a calf cart to your maternity pen area. At Duo Dairy in Loveland, Colo., a small, hard-plastic cart is stored in the maternity area to assist employees and improve biosecurity. Here are a few ways it helps:
- The employees place fresh straw in the cart and have it nearby when a cow delivers. "If assistance is required, such as with dystocia births, the calf is delivered directly into the cart," says herd veterinarian Greg Goddell. This makes it easy to provide any extra assistance to the calf and limits the exposure to pathogens that may be in the hospital area.
- If a cow delivers on her own, the cart can ease an employee's job of moving the newborn to the calf facility. The cart can be wheeled right into the pen.
- If you are trying to avoid the spread of Johne's you can place the calf in the cart after delivery and allow the dam to clean the animal through a headlock. This stops the calf from suckling the dam and picking up Johne's from the environment.


How Does Fatigue Affect Your Kicking Performance?
By |2020-10-28T08:58:30-05:00October 28th, 2020|Fatigue, Kicking Performance, Lifestyle, Overuse, Soccer|
Fatigue can be considered as a contributing factor for reduced coordination and response time in soccer athletes (8, 11, 13). Generally, the negative effects of fatigue are shown in athlete's decline in muscle strength ability and shifts in coordination (8, 9, 14). These negative changes can impact an athlete's kicking performance (5) and can be costly to both the individual and their team. Several studies have suggested fatigue negatively impacts kicking ball velocity (3, 4, 8, 15). However, other studies have shown conflicting results. A 2009 study found after a simulated match play intervention, athletes showed no changes in kicking [...]

Double Rainbow Over Salisbury Cove, Maine
June 27, 2008
Provided by: Dong-Eog Kim, Dep't of Neurology, Dongguk University International Hospital, Korea
Summary authors & editors: Dong-Eog Kim, Jim Foster
This well defined double rainbow was observed over Salisbury Cove, Maine, late in the day on August 11, 2004. Since the primary and secondary bows are so arched, and because the strongest colors are red and orange, it's evident that these bows formed near sunset. Note that the color scheme for the inner bow (primary) and the outer bow (secondary) are the reverse of one another. The darkened strip of sky between the bows is referred to as Alexander's band --named after Alexander of Aphrodisias, who first described it over 2,000 years ago.

Defects and defect costs in construction - a study of seven building projects in Sweden
In this paper, results from a study of defects occurring on construction sites are presented. Seven building projects were monitored during the production phase. 2,879 defects were collected, analysed and fully described. Their cost corresponds to 4.4% of the production cost. The time to correct them corresponds to 7% of the total working time. The defects are further analysed according to origin, type and position, as well as according to element of building and activity. Most defects could be ascribed to design and to production management. Common defect types were lack of coordinating design work, mistakes in production planning, erroneous workmanship and late deliveries. The defect cost was high in roofs and in concrete drilling. The possibility to reduce the cost of defects is discussed.

A Virtual Photography Exhibit
by The Ground Glass
The Ground Glass, a Westchester-based association of fine art photographers, will be hosting "ABSTRACTIONS" a virtual photography exhibit by members.
Abstract photography is depiction of a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world. The abstract image may be produced using traditional photographic equipment such as a camera or, by more contemporary means, with a computer. In other cases, it may be created by manipulating film, photographic paper or materials in the darkroom.
An abstract photograph may isolate a fragment of a given environment in order to disguise its inherent context from the viewer or it may be staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects. The image may also use color, light, shadow, texture, shape or form to convey the feeling or impression intended by the artist.

Practical Tips To Clean Stains On The Walls Of A Minimalist Home
Not only is the condition of the floor, furniture, or yard that determines whether your house is clean or not, the condition of the walls must also receive attention. The reason is that even though your minimalist house is clean but the walls are full of stains, the house will still look dull and unattractive. A house with dirty walls also runs the risk of lowering the selling price — if one day you want to sell the house. So, to keep it looking clean and comfortable, start cleaning the walls of the house using home painting services; some stains can be cleaned easily, such as oil stains, food crumb stains, and mud stains. Cleaning usually can be done by wiping it with a tissue, sponge, or damp cloth. Meanwhile, for some types of stains that contain chemicals, such as pen or marker scribbles, oil paint is usually difficult to remove, unless you clean it as soon as the stain is exposed to the wall.
Food coloring stains, such as chocolate, sauce, or jam, can be removed simply by wiping the walls with a cloth or paper towel. Meanwhile, coconut milk food stains, gravy stains, and mud stains can be removed by wiping them with a cloth soaked in warm water to remove the oil or grease. One of the causes of dull walls is not necessarily food or soil stains, but rather dust left on. If the buildup is not impossible, it will make the walls damp and cause mold. So, at least clean the walls — especially the outer walls of the house — every two weeks with a broom or wipe them with an old cloth. Markers or pen stains should be cleaned with the help of baking soda or vinegar. The trick, add one tablespoon of baking soda or vinegar to half a small bucket of water. Then dip the sponge in the liquid and wash the sponge over the surface of the stained wall.
To clean a moss stain, it's best to open a window, as the scent of moss tends to be strong and makes it hard to breathe freely. Remove the moss stain with lemon juice. The trick, mix lemon with a glass of water then put it in a spray bottle. Spray onto the wall surface and then wipe with a cloth.

Dear Sirs, 2008
Nintendo DS, custom coded game, R4 card
Dear Sirs is a mobile poem—a workplace related resignation poem and marking of time using mesostics and numeric references to embed secret locative information within the poem on a Nintendo DS. Dear Sirs is a part of a series of works that are all interactive game like poems that exploit the relationship between the user, the hardware, the physicality of the user and the interface. Through visuals, text and interaction the poems circumvent and explore poetic/textual conventions and human empathy in a technological context. The participant is required to mark time along with the poet in order to experience the poem. For each stroke on the touch screen with the stylus—one letter of the poem is sequentially revealed. Referencing the famous poem "What you say" by John Cage, this work uses mesostics and embedded numbers to reveal a location—both virtual and physical, and a rejection of participation in problematic systems.

For more information about scaling rules, see Understanding Automatic Scaling Rules in the Amazon EMR Management Guide. Presto graceful auto scaling prevents new tasks from being scheduled on a node that is decommissioning, while at the same time allowing tasks that are already running to complete before the shut down timeout is reached. Queries that are running will complete execution before the node is decommissioned. Auto scaling is not supported on instance fleets.
You can control how much time to allow for Presto tasks to complete after an auto scale shut down request is received. By default, the shut down timeout for Amazon EMR is 0 minutes, which means that Amazon EMR immediately terminates the node and any Presto tasks running on it, if required by a scale-in request. To set a longer timeout for Presto tasks on Amazon EMR to allow running queries to complete before scaling down a cluster, use the presto-config configuration classification to set the graceful-shutdown-timeout parameter to a value in seconds or minutes greater than zero. For more information, see Configuring Applications.
For example, increasing the graceful-shutdown-timeout value to "30m" specifies a timeout period of 30 minutes. After the shut down timeout period ends, the node marked for decommissioning is forcefully terminated if it is waiting for query tasks to complete, and the query fails. If the query tasks finish in five minutes, the node marked for decommissioning terminates at five minutes, provided other YARN applications have completed execution.
Example Presto Auto Scale Configuration with Graceful Decommission
Replace the graceful-shutdown-timeout value with the number of minutes appropriate for your setup. There's no maximum value. The example below sets a timeout value of 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
[ { "classification": "presto-config", "properties": { "graceful-shutdown-timeout": "1800s" } } ]
PrestoDB graceful decommission does not work on EMR clusters where HTTP connectivity is disabled, such as when http-server.http.enabled is set to false. PrestoSQL does not support graceful decommission at all, regardless of the http-server.http.enabled setting.

Conference paper Open Access
Surveillance systems currently deploy a variety of devices that can capture visual content (such as CCTV, body-worn cameras, and smartphone cameras), thus rendering the monitoring of the video footage obtained from multiple such devices a complex task. This becomes especially challenging when monitoring social events that involve large crowds, particularly when there is a risk of crowd violence. This paper presents and demonstrates a crowd violence detection system that can process, analyze, and alert the potential stakeholders when violence-related content is identified in crowd-based video footage. Based on deep neural networks, the proposed end-to-end framework utilizes a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to deal with the (near) real-time analysis of video streams and video files for crowd violence detection. The framework is trained, evaluated, and demonstrated using the most recent dataset related to crowd-violence, namely the Violent Flows dataset. The presented framework is provided as a standalone application for desktop environments and can analyze video streams and video files.

What is a paragon referred to in painting
A paragon is defined as the ideal or perfect example of something. A paragon is something against which everything else is judged or matched to, seen as the ideal form of something. In the case of art, a paragon is typically a model or one who sits for a painting—they are the ideal character or representation for what the artist is attempting to paint.
The term originates from "paragone," an Italian word for a stone to test the purity of gold. It is intended to mean that a paragon is the item or individual against which other things are compared and tested—the perfect example. Additionally, the term "paragone" was used to define a debate between the skill and uniqueness of painting and sculpture in the Renaissance in an attempt to compare the two and determine which was the superior art form.


How to Monkey Patch when using Flex RSLs
Monkey patchers run into problems when using Flex RSLs. In this post I'll explain why monkey patching does not work when using RSLs and provide details of how to make it work. I'll monkey patch the mx.controls.Button class in this post and ListCollectionView and Spark Button in later posts.
Why doesn't monkey patching work when using RSLs? To answer this question it is important to understand two things:
 1. The Flash Player has a first-in-wins rule when loading classes.
 2. Flex applications contain two frames. The first frame contains few classes and loads the RSLs. The second frame contains the rest of the application's classes.
Say you've monkey patched mx.controls.Button, which will end up in frame 2 of your application. In frame 1 of the application, the framework RSL will be loaded which contains the mx.controls.Button class. When frame 2 of the application loads the monkey patched version of mx.controls.Button is ignored because of the Flash Player first-in-wins rule.
When you monkey patch a class that is in frame 1, then you are done, you don't need an RSL.
The basic steps I'll use to monkey patch are:
 1. Create an RSL with just the monkey-patched file and its inheritance dependencies.
 2. Add your RSL to the configuration to get it loaded.
To demonstrate the process I created a project with a simple application that contains one button.
The project was developed using a pre-release version of Flex4, build
Create an RSL
My modification of Button is just a change to set label() so I can see if a Button in my application is a real or patched Button. When the Button's label setter is called I just prepend "Monkey patched " to the original value.
_label = "Monkey patched " + value;
I started by adding to my source tree using the same package as Flex, "mx.controls". Next compile your source into an RSL. From the command line it will look something like this:
>compc -directory -output=button -link-report=link.rpt -include-classes=mx.controls.Button -source-path=.
>optimizer button/library.swf –output -button.swf
>digest button.swf -swc-path=button
After running these commands the size of button.swf is 143,596 bytes. Looking at the link report, there are a lot of classes besides mx.controls.Button that we don't need. Ideally, all we want in the RSL is mx.controls.Button. But the Flash Player requires classes that Button extends or implements to be defined when the Button class is loaded. Since we are loading this RSL before the framework RSL, we need to also include the classes Button extends and implements in framework.swc. For each additional class we include, we also need to include the classes it extends and implements.
Take the link report from the first compile of Button and copy it to a file we will use as our externs file. The externs file is what we will use to remove classes we don't want in the RSL. I actually seeded my externs.xml file by copying and pasting the script children from framework.swc's catalog. My thinking was that I wanted to exclude everything in framework.swc except Button and the classes it extends or implements. But now I can see that the externs file is much larger than it would have been if I had just started with the initial link report.
Next edit the externs file by removing the script elements for mx.controls.Button and all of its inheritance dependencies. After recompiling I was able to get the RSL size down to 35,152 bytes. That is still pretty big but it's the best we can do because we need UIComponent and UICompoment is big. When monkey patching spark components we will be able to remove UIComponent and get a much smaller RSL.
Add your RSL to the configuration
Now that you have your RSL, you just need to add it to the RSL configuration. I created a local configuration file, main-config.xml, with the RSLs I wanted. You can start by copying the elements from flex-config.xml to your local configuration file. Then add the entry for your RSL before the framework RSL.
The order of the runtime-shared-library-path options is important because it determines the load order of the RSLs. The RSL URLs in my configuration file are all local SWF files so before running the application I will copy the RSLs from my SDK frameworks/RSLs directory to where my application lives.
When the new RSL is loaded for the first time you will mostly encounter verify errors because you missed removing an interface from the externs file. As you encounter a verify error, remove that class from the externs file and try again. Eventually the RSL will contain all the classes it needs and load without errors.
Finally, run the application to verify the monkey patched Button is being used.

Licensing and Regulatory Boards and Commissions
Nevada Dairy Commission
Dairy Commission Administrative History
The Nevada Dairy Commission was established by the Nevada Legislature in 1955 for the purpose of ensuring that an adequate and continuous supply of nutritious, wholesome, fluid milk and dairy products is available to Nevada consumers. Laws and regulations allow the Dairy Commission to monitor the dairy industry through auditing and investigative activities. The Dairy Commission is dedicated to promoting a business climate that is economically viable for those who produce and process dairy products in Nevada.
The original legislation established that it is the policy of the state of Nevada to promote, foster and encourage intelligent production and orderly marketing of commodities necessary to its citizens, including milk; and to eliminate speculation, waste, improper marketing, unfair and destructive trade practices and improper accounting for milk purchased from producers.
The purpose of the act to establish the Dairy Commission was:
- To provide funds for administration and enforcement of the act, by assessments to be paid by producers of fluid mild and fluid cream or both, and from licenses issued to distributors.
- To authorize and enable the commission to prescribe marketing areas which are necessary due to varying factors of costs or production, health regulations, transportation and other factors in said marketing areas.
- To authorize and enable the commission to formulate stabilization and marketing plans.
- To enable the dairy industry with the aid of the state to correct existing evils, develop and maintain satisfactory marketing conditions and bring about a reasonable amount of stability and prosperity in the production and marketing of fluid milk and fluid cream.
The original legislation in 1955 established a Commission of five members: one producer, one distributor, one producer-distributor, one operator of a retail store, and one member a representative of the consuming public. The Commission appointed employees necessary to carry out the provisions of the legislation.
The Dairy Commission is funded from fees collected through licenses, permits, and assessments on regulated dairy products. It does not receive funds from the State General Fund.
The 1955 legislation classified fluid milk into three classes with class one being milk marketed as milk, class two being ice cream and class three being butter and cheese. It also directed the Commission to hold public hearings in the State Marketing Areas to determine Stabilization and Marketing Plans for these areas.
The legislation did not provide adequate funds for the Commission to operate so it returned to the Legislature in 1957 and received supplemental legislation. This included increasing the Commission to nine members. The new Dairy Commission had its first meeting on May 22, 1957 and employed as its first Secretary-Administrator Clarence J. Cassady.
The Commission established three Marketing Areas for Nevada which were the Western Marketing Area based in Reno, the Eastern Marketing Area based in Ely, and the Southern Marketing Area based in Las Vegas. Public hearings were held in these Marketing Areas in 1956 and 1957 to establish area Stabilization and Marketing Plans which set minimum prices necessary to accomplish the purpose of the legislation. The categories of these minimum prices established were producer, wholesaler, and retailer. This price fixing on the producer, wholesale, and retail levels became the most controversial of all the duties of the Dairy Commission. The Commission always emphasized that these were floor prices and it was very rare for a retailer to sell milk anywhere near the floor and that high milk prices could not be blamed on the Nevada Dairy Commission.
Over the years the nine member commission which was made up of members of the Dairy industry was thought to be an inadequate regulator of the industry as too many of the members had conflicts of interest. A climax came in the mid-1970s when scandal ran through the Nevada dairy industry involving illegal rebates and kick back payments. In 1976 a Nevada Legislative Bulletin recommended a large overhaul of the Dairy Commission; the 1977 Legislature followed through with the interim study recommendations to change the makeup and the purpose of the Nevada Dairy Commission.
The 1977 legislation reduced the number of the members of the Dairy Commission to three and decreed that one member shall be a public accountant or a certified public account, one member shall be an agricultural economist, and one member shall be experienced in banking or finance. The legislation for the management of the Commission was greatly rewritten and the way that the Dairy Commission did its business greatly changed. Public hearings and commission meetings became much less contentious and the number of applications that were rejected dropped. The price fixing powers of the Commission were greatly reduced as minimum retail prices could no longer be set by the Commission. This legislation and restructuring of the Commission led to only minimum wholesale prices being set by the Commission through a formula established by the staff and members of the Dairy Commission for each of the classes of fluid milk.
The Nevada Dairy Commission when established in 1955 was placed administratively under the Governor's Office as one of the boards and commissions whose members were appointed by the Governor. In 1993 the Commission became a unit of the new Department of Business and Industry. The members of the Commission continue to be appointed by the Governor and the Executive Director of the Commission continues to function as the Secretary of the Commission.

Quota costs, billing, and limits usage is billed by org memory quota.
The cost is $130 per GB of memory reserved per month, with no limit except the quota you set.
You set your memory quota in advance. This helps you control the maximum amount that your team will spend, and helps us avoid over-provisioning resources that won't be used.
(Sandboxes offer resource usage for free, but it is capped at 1 GB of RAM.)
Quotas are associated with and billed to a project IAA number or equivalent billing tag. Quotas are billed by the amount of memory reserved and tallied monthly.
What quotas limit
Quotas provide a not-to-exceed reservation of memory, which you set at the amount appropriate to your usage. In the underlying technical system, quotas also limit number of application routes and service instances, but you can request an expansion of those limits at any time.
Quotas limit the following resources:
If a new application push would exceed your organization's quota, the request will fail with status code 400 and a message that describes the limit that would be exceeded.
Creating app APPLICATION in org ORG / space SPACE as USER… FAILED Server error, status code: 400, error code: 100007, message: You have exceeded the instance memory limit for your organization's quota.
In this situation you have three options:
 1. Delete existing resources with cf delete, delete-service, delete-route or similar.
 2. Reconfigure individual existing application quotas and redeploy.
 3. Request a quota change by asking support. You can request an increase in number of routes or service instances with no cost impact. Increasing memory quota changes your costs (as described above).


Documentation for Confluence 5.4.
Skip to end of metadata
Go to start of metadata
This page explains how you can export individual Confluence pages, blog posts, entire spaces or selections of pages into a single PDF file.
Exporting single pages
You can export a Confluence page to PDF. This option exports a single page and is available to all users who have permission to view the page.
 - Go to a page in the space and choose Tools > Export to PDF. Follow the prompts to export the page.
Note that the export of a single page to PDF applies any PDF stylesheet customisations, but does not apply any PDF layout customisations. To make your PDF layout customisations apply to a single page exported to PDF, use the'multiple page' method described below to export that single page only. See Customising Exports to PDF.
Exporting a blog post
You can export a Confluence blog post to PDF. This option exports a single blog post and is available to all users who have permission to view the page.
 - Go to a blog post and choose Tools > Export to PDF. Follow the prompts to export the page.
Blog posts can only be exported individually. Blogs cannot be exported at the space level.
Exporting multiple pages or the entire space
Using Confluence's space export functionality, you can convert multiple pages or an entire space to PDF.
To use the space export functionality, you need the 'Export Space' permission. See the guide to space permissions.
To export a space or selected pages to PDF:
 1. Go to the space and choose Space tools > Content Tools on the sidebar.
 2. Choose Export. This option will only be visible if you have the 'Export Space' permission.
 3. Select PDF then choose Next
 4. Decide whether you need to customise the export:
 - Select Normal Export to produce a PDF file containing all the pages that you have permission to view.
 - Select Custom Export if you want to export a subset of pages.
 5. Select the pages you want to export.
 - You have the option to Select All or Deselect All pages.
 - When you select a page, all its child pages will also be selected. Similarly, when you deselect a page all its child pages will also be deselected.
 6. Choose Export.
 7. When the export process has finished, download and save the PDF file as prompted.
If your space uses the Documentation theme:
 1. Choose Browse > Space Operations
 2. Choose PDF Export from the left menu.
 3. Follow the steps above to export the Space.
Screenshot: Selecting pages to export
Customising the appearance of PDF exports
You can add a title page, a table of contents and customised headers and footers to the PDF output. For more advanced customisations, you can apply Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) modifications. These customisations are specific to each space. You need the 'Space Administrator' permission to be able to apply these customisations. For more information, see Customising Exports to PDF.
 - PDF exports will not handle columns created via the page layout option in the editor. If you have a twoor three-column layout, the PDF export will contain the page content in one single column. The issue is tracked here: CONF-25240 - PDF export does not handle page layouts Resolved
 - Comments on the page are not exported to the PDF file. The screenshot above and Confluence both suggest otherwise, issue is tracked here: CONF-27811 - Description of PDF Export is incorrect Resolved
 - Only image attachments that have been inserted into a page are included when exporting to PDF.
 - To export a PDF containing international text, you need to install a Unicode font in Confluence.
 - Blog posts can be individually exported, but are not included when you export a space to PDF.
 - If you have 'Space Administrator' permissions, the link to customise the PDF Stylesheet is provided at the top of the page tree, as shown in the screenshot above.
 - Confluence's PDF export feature is designed to handle a wide variety of content. However, on rare occasions the PDF Export process may fail due to an unrecognised customisation. If that happens the PDF export screen will indicate the title of the page in which the problem occurred, to help you diagnose the cause of the failure.
 1. How do I get the comments on the page to show up in the PDF when I use the export single page icon?
 1. Hi Matt,
 Unfortunately, Confluence does not provide this feature currently. However, we are aware of such needs and there is an improvement request being tracked at the following link:
 The improvement request above suggest Confluence to have the ability to include comments in the page PDF export. If you are keen on this improvement, please cast a vote to increase its popularity and add yourself as a watcher for future updates.

 This would be really useful. Does anyone know if it's possible yet?
 1. Hi,
 You may want to give a try by using the Auto-Export plugin that is available in our Confluence Extension space:
 If the above is not an option, you may want to give a try to search for other plugins in our Confluence Extension space which might meet your requirement. Hope the information does help.

 3. If exporting to PDF, I run into problems if tables or pictures are involved. I created an issue for this on JIRA
 4. Hi,
 is it possible, to store the selection of exported pages for a later re-use?
 1. This would be very handy. Is it possible in 3.0?

 Hi there, we found that when multiple users of the wiki exported an entire space at the same time, the wiki runs very slow...logging in to the wiki just hangs....once the export is finished, speed comes back to there any way to allow space export without running into this adverse performance issue?
 1. I have the same issue - needing visitors to be able to export multiple pages (a particular section of a space) as a pdf.
 The best way to deal with this would seem to be by automating PDF export (with certain supplied parameters) on a regular (e.g. nightly) basis. I read in some comment here (but can't find it now) that (ro-)bot-export of spaces is deliberately discouraged by Atlassian to guard against DDOS-type attacks, but would it be possible to create a local-only bot capable of running these exports according to supplied parameters (regularity, page(s) to include, pdf filename,...)?
 Bot-exported PDFs could be saved in a certain folder with a known naming structure, and wiki pages could include links to the appropriate pdf file (perhaps via macro), avoiding the whole automatically-generated performance hit issue.
 2. The space backup process consumes some extra resources, hence, it is understandable that Confluence may perform poorly if there's multiple concurrent space export.
 In the context of permission settings, you can assign/drop the "Space - Export" space permission if necessary.
 In regards to a single automated process, I think one can create a job plugins that runs the space export at an interval. You might be able to find better answers in Atlassian Answers.
 1. Thank you for the information - a job plugin (set up to use Cron) sounds exactly like what we need. Then it's just the case of creating the plugin to export specific pages within a space (or the whole space) and save it - all according to designated parameters. Do you know if the plugin architecture allows you to specify a subset of pages to be exported in the space (like is possible in the UI)?
 Another method would seem to be to use an external script using the RPC API - but right now you can only export an entire space as a PDF (but I've voted up a feature request for extra granularity here - see I found a python script that could be modified (currently exports a space as XML)...
 Anyway, I will search the public forums as you suggest... I just wanted to update this thread with these pointers. Thanks again.
 6. P
 We're using Confluence to create documentation and we use the PDf export mechanism to provide our customers with a PDF version of the documentation.
 Now, in the spaces we use for documentation, we have several pages that have viewing restrictions on them. This can be either pages that are not yet finished or just some internal pages with comments/directions etc.
 I know I can manually uncheck each single page that I do not want to have included before exporting, but I was wondering if it's not possible to run the export in such a way that it will only export what is visible to anonymous users?
 1. Sure - you just need to grant 'Export Space' permission to anonymous users, and then log out before starting the export.
 This will create the PDF including only those pages which are visible to anonymous users.
 If you don't want to enable exports for anonymous users, then you could create a new user, make sure that the permissions are set so that the user does not see your internal pages, and perform your PDF Exports using that restricted user.

 Tnx, that'll do the trick. Should have come up with that myself

ECB Working Paper 1672
Crossing borders, be it international or regional, often go together with price, wage or indeed wealth discontinuities. This paper identifies substantial wealth differences between Luxembourg resident households and cross-border commuter households despite their similar incomes. The average (median) net wealth difference is estimated to be €367,000 (€129,000) and increases for higher percentiles. Using several different regression and decomposition techniques, spatial (regional) differences in real estate price developments, and thus differences in accumulated nominal capital gains are shown to be one main driving factor for these wealth differences. Other factors contributing to the observed wealth differences are differences in age, income, education and other household characteristics.

This paper examines the drained bearing response of circular footings resting on structured soil deposits. Numerical simulations have been carried out using a finite element formulation of the Structured Cam Clay model. A parametric study was conducted by varying the parameters that govern the behaviour of structured soils and guidelines are given for designers to identify when effects of the soil structure are important. Under fully drained conditions, deformation within the structured soil supporting the footing usually occurs as a local or punching shear failure due to high compressibility of the structured soil and the mobilised bearing pressure increases with the footing movement, without reaching an ultimate value. A novel approximate method is presented to obtain the load–displacement response of a rigid circular footing resting on the surface of a structured soil deposit. This requires the properties of the soil in the reconstituted state and two additional parameters, which govern the natural structure of the soil. The proposed method has been applied to a published case study, where plate load test results are given for rigid circular steel plates resting on structured soil deposits. Fair agreement is observed between the computed and experimental results, suggesting the approximate method may be useful in design studies of foundations on structured soil deposits.

WHAT IS URL REWRITE IN MAGENTO 2?
In simple words, the URL rewrite function in Magento 2 allows us to modify/ edit any URLs in your store (e.g: Urls of the Product page, Category page, CMS page, etc.). After changes, when anybody accesses the old URL, they will be redirected automatically to the new URL.
WHAT IS BENEFIT OF URL REWRITE?
There are two essential benefits from rewriting the existing URLs:
- Support SEO: you can easily change the URLs and make it shorten. Moreover, it might help the Google crawlers understand and read your site better.

HOW TO CONFIG URL REWRITE IN MAGENTO 2?
In Magento 2, the objective of URL rewrite is to diminish the index.php file appearing the the URL (after the root folder). Therefore, the remainings are things that are valuable to search engines and your shoppers. Here is an example:
- Without URL rewrite: _URL_
- With URL rewrite: _URL_
In this tutorial, we will show you how to configure URL rewrites in the back-end step-by-step. There are just 4 simple steps to rewrite URL in Magento 2. Let's get started!
1st step: Go the admin panel, navigate to STORES and choose Configuration (under Settings)
(Admin Panel => STORES => Configuration)
2nd step: Select Web in the left panel, under General section
Expand the General section, then choose Web in the dropdown.
3rd step: Expand Search Engine Optimization section
After expanding the Search Engine Optimization, you must select Yes for the only field – Use Web Server Rewrites.
4th step: Save the config
Finally, you must click on Save Config to complete the URL rewrites configurartion.
We have shown you basic definition of the URL rewrites function in Magento 2 and more importantly, how to configure it in the back-end menu. If you have any problems when following this tutorial, be free to ask us by leaving a comment below. In the next tutorial, we will continue to show you how to generate the automatic redirects when any URL keys of products are changed, see you!

Finnair A350 Operates 100KM Hop Across The Gulf Of Finland
Finnair today operated an Airbus A350 flight of just 100km. The short hop saw the widebody aircraft visit Tallinn for the first time as the airline looked to move 'a belly full of cargo'.

Airlines around the world have been operating some interesting routes recently. This has all been in aid of keeping passengers and freight moving while many usual flights have stopped. Examples have seen Lufthansa in New Zealand, and Air New Zealand in Germany. Finnair has even had its fair share. However, today the Finnish national airline operated a very short hop for a widebody aircraft.
Shortest Finnair A350 flight?
Today's hop to Tallin may have been the airline's shortest A350 hop in history, carrying passengers or freight. (If you know of a shorter hop with such a purpose, please do let us know in the comments!) The flight was so short that it only lasted 20 minutes, with the taxi either end taking almost as long as the flight. Let's take a look at the numbers.
Finnair, Airbus A350, Freight
The aircraft flew a short hop across the Gulf of Finland. It reached its maximum height at the position indicated. Image:
After pushback, the flight from Helsinki to Tallinn began to taxi towards the runway at 12:14 UTC. At 12:22, the aircraft began its takeoff roll. The Airbus A350 then began to climb to a height of 13,000 feet according to data from It reached this height at 12:27.
The aircraft didn't stay at its cruising altitude for long, however. In fact, just two minutes later, and less than halfway to Tallinn, it began its descent at 12:29. After a further 13 minutes in the air, it touched down in Tallin at 12:42, before taxiing for another five minutes. In total the aircraft spent 20 minutes flying and 13 minutes taxiing.
While it's not clear what exactly the aircraft was carrying, Finnair did mention that the flight was being operated for cargo reasons. The airline also remarked that this flight was the first time one of its A350 aircraft had flown to Tallinn.
Not the only interesting flight
Finnair's flight today is not the only interesting cargo flight made by a passenger aircraft. In fact, as many passenger aircraft are going unused at the moment, they are instead being used for cargo. airBaltic used an Airbus A220 for a seven-hour cargo flight from China. Meanwhile, Virgin Atlantic flew cargo from Shanghai with a Boeing 787, while Lufthansa used an Airbus A330.
Which interesting cargo flights have you seen operating recently? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Dynamically populating list of expand clause based on navigation property name
The general approach for fetching a parent and its child entity data in a single OData call is by implementing GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY method of the Data Provider Class. This involves explicitly specifying which child entities can be retrieved along with parent entity through hard-coding of the navigation properties in the method implementation. This requires populating the data in the nested properties of the parent structure carrying the same name as navigation property names and then adding the navigation's to standard exporting parameter ET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES to inform the framework that the expand clause has already been catered by custom implementation and there is no need to call the child entity sets.
In OData project the 3 entities (FormulaHeader, FormulaTerm and FormulaComponent) are modeled as below:
Entity 1: FormulaHeader
Entity 2: FormulaTerm
Entity 3: FormulaComponent
Association 1: FormulaHeader -> FormulaTerm (1:N)
Association 2: FormulaTerm -> FormulaComponent (1:N)
Navigation 1: FormulaTermSet (between FormulaHeader and FormulaTerm)
Navigation 2: FormulaComponentSet (between FormulaTerm and FormulaComponent)
This OData call would return FormulaHeader data for its specified key fields (DealGUID and FormulaGUID), its corresponding child entities FormulaTermSet and FormulaComponentSet in a single Gateway call through GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY method.
The main point here that needs to be taken care is that we need to tell the Gateway framework that we have expanded the FormulaHeader, FormulaTerm and FormulaComponent entities in a single entity set call and there is no need to call the child entity set to fetch the Formula Terms and Formula Component data. We can do this using parameter ET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES of GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY and append both the Navigation Property Name(FORMULATERMSET and FORMULATERMSET/FORMULACOMPONENTSET) in this exporting parameter, which will tell the gate way framework that the child entities have already been expanded and there is no need to call the child entity sets.
In this blog I provide an alternative approach where I dynamically generate and append the navigation property names in ET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES through recursion.
The below call of method GET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES is implemented in the GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY method of the data provider class.
 ir_expand = ir_expand
 it_children = ir_expand->get_children( )
 ct_expanded_tech_clauses = et_expanded_tech_clauses ).
Logic for the above method is as follows:
 1. Loop at all the child entities of the calling URL.
 2. Check if the calling entity has a parent or not.
 3. If it doesn't have a parent e.g. in our case the 1st call to this method would not have a parent so only FORMULATERMSET would be appended as child entity's navigation property name).
 4. If it has a parent e.g. in our case the 2nd call to this method would have parent as FORMULATERM for child entity FORMULACOMPONENT, so in that case parent's navigation property name(FORMULATERMSET) and child entity's navigation property name FORMULACOMPONENTSET would be appended to CT_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES.
Above scenario explained with screenshots:
For the above scenario, when the specified URL is executed, GET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES method is called from the GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY method.
For the 1st call from GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY method, the call is for FormulaHeader to get its children and navigation property names.
In this case, the parent is blank and FORMULATERMSET is its child entityset with FORMULATERMSET as its navigation property name.
Thus, in the 1st call FORMULATERMSET is added in field CT_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES.
For the 2nd call of GET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES method(as it is recursive in nature), the call is for FormulaTerm to get its children and navigation property names.
In this case, the parent is FORMULATERMSET and FORMULACOMPONENT is its child entityset with FORMULACOMPONENTSET as its navigation property name.
Final result in CT_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES is as follows:
As this method is being called in recursion, during the second call the parent entity is FORMULATERM and FORMULACOMPONENTSET is its child entityset.
The implementation of GET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES method can handle navigation of multi-level child entities as it is recursive in nature.
Also, the main advantage of this approach is that no hard-coding of the navigation property names and entities are involved. And it can cater to all entities and its child entities without any entity specific logic.
 - Hi Sumita,
 Nice way to get things happen dynamically.
 I generally use other approach using standard utility, do you have any idea on fallback for below approach.
 DATA: lo_tech_request TYPE REF TO /iwbep/cl_mgw_request.
 lo_tech_request?= io_tech_request_context.
 DATA(lv_expand) = lo_tech_request->/iwbep/if_mgw_req_entityset~get_expand( ).
 SPLIT lv_expand AT ',' INTO TABLE et_expanded_tech_clauses.
 - Hello Tarun,
 This approach also works. I tried the above approach for a few scenarios and it works for all.
 Thanks for providing an alternative solution.


any case).
You can control how an application reacts to a parameter modification by subscribing RoleEnvironment.Changing event, if you want to restart the whole role when a parameter change you can simply set Cancel=true inside Changing event:
RoleEnvironment.Changing += (s, e) =>
e.Cancel = true;
in this case, when application's.cscfg file content change, the role is shut down then restarted so that new parameters can be properly reloaded. If you don't want to restart the role but handle modifications yourself you can handle Changes parameter passed to RoleEnvironment.Changing event.
How can you test this logic when your app runs inside Azure local compute emulator? here are basic step:
 - Run you app locally and read what is current development id by opening compute emulator UI and reading what between parenthesis (2103 in following example) following deploymentXX label:
 - Run Windows Azure Command Prompt and navigate to the folder that contains your configuration file ServiceConfiguration.cscfg and run this command:
 csrun /update:[id];ServiceConfiguration.cscfg
And you'll see your role reacting to configuration change appropriately.

Copying and moving styles using Expression Blend for HTML
Here's a couple of Blend tricks I'd like to share:
Let's say you have this HTML fragment:
 Content goes here
by looking at Blend's css properties pane you can see that, it has some css rules automatically applied:
you can copy the applied rule and paste it into another stylesheet by right clicking the highlighted row into selecting copy:
Now go to the Styles pane and click the "+" button shown in the picture below to add a new stylesheet:
then right click new file and select paste from context menu to paste the selector.
If you already have the same selector inside target file the properties will be merged (you'll see Paste properties instead of Paste menu) of course you can also right click the selector inside source file and copy/paste from there but in this case you will copy all selectors not just applied one.
Let's now suppose you change h1's background color:
this results in this inline style:
 Content goes here
how do I move the inline style to h1's selector inside my test.css? select Inline Style on Blend's pane and select Copy from context menu:
then select target stylesheet, target rule (if any), right click and then Paste properties from context menu:
to have properties added to selected file or rule.

Fragment loading and Navigation in HTML5 Metro applications
Navigation is one of the core concepts of any Metro application, in this post I'll show how can you implement it in a HTML based Metro application.
The easiest way is to use the same common approach used by millions of HTML pages: using an hyperlink.
Assuming you are in default.html page and wish to navigate to page2.html all you need to do is add something like:
 1:
 2:
 3:
 4:
 5: DemoNavigation
 7:
 8:
 9:
 12:
 13:
 14:
 15:
 16:
 17: Click here to navigate to Page 2
 18:
 19:
When you run the app and click the hyperlink you move straight to page2.html.
This is approach is quite common, works fine (of course) but has a main drawback: you loose state when you move from default.html to page2.html, so if you need to maintain state, something that's quite common in client application Smile, you're on your own.
The problem is the same in web application that's why technologies like ajax or single page applications are gaining more and more momentum.
Let's now briefly see how you can embed an HTML fragment into default.html using WinJS's HtmlControl, here's the html you need to add to default.html page:
 1:
 2:
 3: This is a html fragment
 4:
 1:
 2: This is main page
 3:
 5:
Launching the app you'll see exactly what expected but with some limitations:
the fragment can't reference any css nor javascript file, and you are not informed when the fragment is loaded, luckily there's a way to get some javascript code executed when fragment is loaded into the DOM: WinJS.Pages.define.
Let's assume we wish to dynamically change the text of the fragment after it has been loaded so let's add a new pagedefine.js file (just for better understanding and separation) to our solution:
 1: ///
 3: (function () {
 4: 'use strict';
 6: WinJS.UI.Pages.define("../fragments/pageFragment.html",
 7: {
 8: ready:function(element,options)
 9: {
 10: var text = document.getElementById("txt");
 11: text.innerText = new Date().toLocaleString();
 12: }
 13: });
 16: }());
 1:
 5:
The define method available on Pages object accept the uri that uniquely identifies the page that is going to be loaded and an object exposing a set of properties, among these, ready is the function that will be called when page has been loaded into DOM, then the code just changes element content with current date:
we're now in a state where we can load a HTML fragment and run some code after it has been loades, before going further I need to point out that HmlControl can only load local html, if you need to load external content iFrame is your friend.
Problem now is: what if I need to load the fragment programmatically? (e.g. on a button click), let's remove HtmlControl from default.html and let's inject the fragment with a little help from WinJS:
 1:
 2:
 3:
 4:
 5: DemoNavigation
 7:
 13:
 14:
 15:
 16:
 17:
 19: Load fragment
 20:
 21:
 22:
 1: //default.js
 2: (function () {
 3: "use strict";
 4: var app = WinJS.Application;
 5: app.onactivated = function (eventObject) {
 6: if (eventObject.detail.kind === Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation.ActivationKind.launch) {
 7: if (eventObject.detail.previousExecutionState!== Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation.ApplicationExecutionState.terminated) {
 8: // TODO: This application has been newly launched. Initialize
 9: // your application here.
 10: } else {
 11: // TODO: This application has been reactivated from suspension.
 12: // Restore application state here.
 13: }
 14: WinJS.UI.processAll().then(function (e) {
 15: "btnLoad").listen("click", function (e) {
 16: //Load fragment
 17: var"contentHost")[0];
 18: WinJS.UI.Pages.render("../fragments/pageFragment.html", host, { data: 'data2share' });

PEOPLE living in Staffordshire are being urged to take part in a new scheme to help generate power by recycling used cooking oil.
Staffordshire County Council says it has found an innovative way to turn cooking oil into renewable energy as part of a scheme it is running in partnership with energy firm Living Fuels.
The scheme sees tanks placed at 13 of Staffordshire's household waste recycling centres for residents to dispose of their waste cooking oil.
Bosses say just one full tank can provide enough electricity to power the average home for a year.
When collected, the used cooking oil is taken to Living Fuels' state-of-the-art recovery facility where it is naturally settled and recovered into a clean, green bioliquid without the need for any chemicals or heat. This bioliquid is then used in the company's renewable energy facilities to produce carbon neutral electricity to power homes and businesses.
Staffordshire County Council's cabinet member for environment and assets Mark Winnington said: "This innovative scheme is another way in which we can take a waste substance and turn it into renewable energy, demonstrating great benefits for Staffordshire's environment and residents. Any savings on fuel costs are welcome and this is another example we are looking to get the best value for money for our residents and literally drive down waste.
"This is a great working partnership with Living Fuels which we hope as many people as possible take advantage of and help generate even more renewable energy for our county."
Since the scheme started in October 2008, enough renewable electricity had been recovered in Staffordshire to make 11.5 million cups of tea. The recovery of used cooking oil forms part of the Staffordshire County Council and Stoke-on-Trent Council's joint waste plan, which supports new waste recovery procedures and encourages renewable energy initiatives.
When poured down drains, used cooking oil costs UK water companies an estimated £15 million per year on blockages, which can lead to water contamination and flooding.
Living Fuels' operations director Rob Murphy said: "We are delighted to be able to work with Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent councils to help them provide residents with a truly green solution for getting rid of their waste vegetable oil."
Participating recycling centres near to Ashbourne include Pennycroft Lane, Uttoxeter and Fowlchurch Road, Leek

The dimensions of LEGO brick are documented well, but what about DUPLO bricks? If have only found the general statements that DUPLO is twice as large as LEGO but no exact numbers. What about the thickness of walls and the space that must be subtracted at each side (0.2mm for LEGO), is it also just doubled?. If you compare the bottom of a LEGO 2x4 brick and a DUPLO 2x4 brick, there are also additional small walls that I have not found documented.
Update: Some dimensions of a DUPLO brick can be derived from the dimensions of a LEGO brick, which have been documented by Robert Cailliau among others:
Above and below a DUPLO 2x2 brick one can put two LEGO 2x4 bricks (or four 2x2 LEGO bricks). The outer walls of such stack seem to align perfectly, so the width and length of a DUPLO 2x2 brick is equal to the width of a LEGO 2x4 brick, which is 31.8mm (32mm-0.2mm). By putting DUPLO and LEGO side by side, one can also see that the DUPLO height without studs is twice of the size in LEGO (19.2mm). The LEGO studs below the DUPLO brick touch DUPLO walls, so DUPLO wall thickness is the same as LEGO wall thickness (either before spline walls were introduced to LEGO bricks or LEGO wall thickness plus the length of LEGO splines), which is 1.5mm. The DUPLO tube height is the height of the brick minus the height of a LEGO stud (which is somewhere between 1.6mm and 1.8mm). I'd better use the larger value, so the tubes start 1.8mm above the floor of the brick. From the top, LEGO tubes fit into DUPLO studs, so the stud inner diameter should equal to 6.51mm (8*√2 - 4.8$). But if you carefully look inside a DUPLO stud, this fitting is only achieved by four additional lugs that give a minimal inner diameter around 6mm to facilitate snapping into.
The remaining dimension include:
- stud outer diameter
- stud height
- tube inner diameter (but DUPLO tubes are not fully circular inside on a closer look!)
- tube outer diameter (also occurs at some other elements for instance as stem at #6510)
- spline length
Spline length can be derived from wall width and stud outer diameter. Tube outer diameter and stud outer diameter can also be computed from each other. So basically three dimensions are left to be explained. Comments and insights are welcome how more of the remaning dimensions can be derived from standard LEGO/DUPLO dimensions.

INDIAN CICADA DISTRIBUTIONS
Indian Cicada Distributions ("Distributions" in the tab menu above) will be the most interactive and data-intensive module of Butterflies of India. It will be based on the same concept as BirdSpot developed by L. Shyamal, but implemented online. Once this module is ready, registered users will be able to upload their cicada spot records or trip/regional checklists in a standard format, which will be entered in a centralized database after peer-review of the submitted records. Information from the database can then be used by anyone to generate distributional maps for individual cicada species, or to generate checklists of specific localities based on queries input by the users. The module is currently being developed. Until then, you can contribute images to species pages, which go in a database and are mapped.

Activity indicators and progress indicators
Activity indicators and progress indicators show users that their BlackBerry devices are performing an action, such as searching for items or removing languages.
Use an activity indicator if you want to show that the BlackBerry device is working and you cannot determine the duration of the action. You can add an activity indicator to any component, such as a screen, text field, or list item. You can also add text to an activity indicator to describe the action.
Use a progress indicator if you can determine the duration of an action. Progress indicators include a label to indicate what the action is and a horizontal bar that fills from left to right as the action progresses. A percentage appears in the bar to indicate how much of the action is complete.
Best practice: Implementing activity indicators and progress indicators
- Always indicate progress when an action takes more than 2 seconds to complete.
- Use a progress indicator when you can determine the duration of an action.
- Use an activity indicator when you cannot determine the duration of an action.
- Provide useful progress information. For example, if users are downloading an application to their device, indicate the percentage of data that their BlackBerry device has downloaded. Be as accurate as possible with the progress information.
- Always allow users to use the End key to hide a progress indicator.
Guidelines for text
- Use a concise, descriptive text (for example, "Loading data" or "Building an application list").
- If an action is long and you want to communicate what is happening at each stage, provide text that describes each stage (for example, "Downloading" or "Installing").
- Use sentence case capitalization.


How to Line a Pan
This time-saving trick comes in handy when you're making brownies or fudge.
Lining a Baking Pan with Foil
This method of keeping things from sticking to the pan is used most often for brownies, bar cookies, and fudge. The additional advantage of this method is that it allows you to easily lift the bars out of the pan before cutting them.
Lining pan with foil
 1. Tear a piece of foil that is larger than the pan. Shape the foil over the outside of the pan bottom. Cut slits at the corners to make it fit neatly.
 2. Gently lift the shaped foil off the pan.
 3. Turn the pan over and fit the shaped foil into it. Leave an inch or two of overhang to use as "handles" to lift the baked goods out of the pan.
