IN RPM 24 MASTER ID has now been renamed to Bypass Code, please redirect to this page for an updated article. _URL_
A master ID is a code that may represent various different things from regions to contracts. This code can be any column on your import spreadsheets/transfers. Commission items can have a master ID imported in the commission data, or a Rep ID can be assigned to a master ID.
Master IDs can be assigned to accounts groups, making it easy to apply a special rule only when the Master ID is imported.
A good example of usage of the Master ID would depends on each set of data coming into RPM, but think of it like a value on each row that you can use to set a special rate or payout. Region being a common usage, or if you wanted to group a set of commission items for internal staff.
Adding a master ID
There are two ways to add a master ID:
1. Automatic: When RPM imports a new master ID it adds it to the system (upload matrix setup).
2. Manual: On the details page of a supplier click Add a master ID

Some homophones, similar-sounding words that don't mean the same thing, are harmless. But elicit and illicit are not among them.
They are completely different parts of speech; choosing the wrong one would be an embarrassing mistake. Moreover, it could mean the difference between asking for a response and instigating dangerous criminal activity.
With that important warning in mind, how should you use illicit or elicit in your writing? There is an easy way to decide. Continue reading for a discussion of these two confusing homophones.
What is the Difference Between Elicit and Illicit?
This article compare elicit vs. illicit. I will use each word in an example sentence to demonstrate its proper use.
Plus, I will give you a useful trick to help you remember whether to use elicit or illicit, depending on your meaning.
When to Use Elicit
What does elicit mean? Elicit is a verb. It is a synonym of evoke, where that word has the meaning to draw out.
- The disruption, though annoying, was not enough to elicit a response from the judge.
- The company commissioned a survey to elicit the public's views on the newest flavor of its sour candies.
- Let us interview the witnesses to elicit the facts of the case.
- Specific projects are not the only target of NIMBYism. Proposed zoning and land-use regulation changes likewise elicit strong reactions and resistance. –The Washington Post
When to Use Illicit
What does illicit mean? Illicit is an adjective. It means illegal or otherwise forbidden. You can see examples of this word's use in the sentences below.
- The cartel used buckets of batter to traffic illicit drugs into other countries.
- The pawn shop's owner is on trial for selling illicit goods in his store.
- The car enthusiasts held an illicit race on Beachside Avenue at 1:00am.
- What's missing, former Losers tell The Post, is any examination of the show's secret and brutal tactics, which include providing illicit drugs to contestants and submitting them to questionable medical exams by the show's resident doctor, Rob Huizenga, known as "Dr. H." –New York Post
Trick to Remember the Difference
Here is a helpful trick to remember illicit vs. elicit.
- Illicit is an adjective that means illegal.
- Elicit is a verb that means evoke.
If the word you are using is an adjective, you probably mean illicit. Elicit is never an adjective.
If you are trying to use the word as a verb, you should use elicit. Much in the same way elicit is never an adjective, illicit is never a verb.
You can remember the difference between these words by remembering their synonyms. Both illicit and illegal begin with the letter I, and both elicit and evoke begin with the letter E.
Is it elicit or illicit? While these two words sound the same when spoken, the mean very different things.
- Elicit is a verb, and a synonym of evoke.
- Illicit is an adjective, and a synonym of illegal.
- Neither word is ever used as any other part of speech.
Since elicit and evoke both start with the same letter, much the same as illicit and illegal, pairing these words with their synonyms will help you remember which is which, and in what contexts they should be used.
Now that you know the difference between these words, you can be confident that your writing will not suffer from this simple mistake. Any time you have questions about other confusing words, you can check this site for an explanation.

FAQ: "Our customer has an accessory to do measurements with transparent preforms. My question is how I must to measure dark transparent preforms? On clear preforms, measurement data looks good. However, we could use some advice on darker colors, particularly amber."
The images you sent show that the amber preform is held in our D01-1011-833 Adjustable Preform or Cylinder Holder accessory.
Measuring clear, lighter preforms is fine but amber preforms offer a special challenge as the intention of the amber colorant is to absorb all light in order to protect the blown bottle contents. The same statement can apply to very dark green and blue preforms.
While the pulsed xenon lamp in our HunterLab sphere instruments is very powerful and will blast through most materials, the amber preform sample is a challenge.
In general if you can hold a preform up to a light and see detail on the other side of the preform, HunterLab sphere instruments should be able to measure usable color signal from the whole transparent preform measured in the holder.
For amber preforms, here is how we approach measurement of amber preforms:
- You first mount the D02-1011-833 Adjustable Transmission Preform or Cylinder Holder in the transmission compartment in one of our HunterLab sphere sensors.
- You then standardize the instrument with the first step being to set 0% transmission as the bottom-of-scale using the Light Blocker.
- Then you set top-of-scale with the white tile used to fill in the reflectance port and Air as a reference for 100% transmission.
- If you insert a whole preform into the holder and take a reading, the Y D65/10 transmission value should be > 10% to have a useable color signal. A Y transmission value is equivalent to L* D65/10 value of approximately 40 (L* is calculated directly from Y). It's not that you can't measure less than this, but remembering that a blocked detector or perfect black is 0 if your whole preform is measuring below Y = 10/L* = 40, your signal is very low down in the dark and murky, and it is difficult to separate lot differences when you are measuring so low.
- If Y < 10/L* < 40, one alternative to raise the signal is to cut the preform in half resulting in a thinner sample path length. Just cut down the tube to above the threads and measure a single wall cut-out of the preform. See if the signal is high enough in this form.
- A further alternative is to blow the preform into a test bottle and measure through the bottle or make a single wall cut-out of the bottle and measure that. This form, will have high enough signal strength to differentiate lots. However, it requires more sample preparation time.


a Pokemon can't learn two of it's two of it's egg moves. For example, Charmander can't learn AncientPower and Beat Up together, because no Pokemon learns these two moves, and there's no Pokemon that can connect these two moves together like Arbok did just now.
It's worth noting that all this chain breeding isn't needed in the Field egg group, where Smeargle is, simply because Smeargle can learn any move (through it's signature move Sketch). So that also means that there's no such thing as an illegal move combination in the Field egg group.
Hatching an Egg
Hatching an egg can take a really long time depending on the Pokemon that's inside. Actually, it doesn't depend on time, but the amount of steps you take. It could take between 1,000-10,000 steps to hatch an egg. If you have a Pokemon with the Magma Armor or Flame Body Abilities in your party, the amount of steps will be cut in half. You can ride your bicycle in a circle or up and down the same route until the egg hatches, or just take it with you on your adventure. Check the egg's status screen to get hints as to how long it'll take to hatch.

irreparable injury
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
Harm that no measurable monetary compensation can cure or reverse, such as cutting down shade trees, polluting a stream, or not giving a child needed medication. Proving irreparable injury is often required in order to request a judicial injunction, writ, temporary restraining order, or other assistance in immediately blocking the activity (usually pending further court proceedings). Also referred to as irreparable harm.

The exchange rate between Brazilian Real (BRL) and United States Dollar (USD) is among the popular foreign exchange pairs traded globally. In 2023, the exchange rate remains a crucial indicator for traders, investors, and individuals seeking to transfer money between Brazil and the United States.
What is the Current Exchange Rate between BRL and USD?
As of January 2023, the exchange rate between BRL and USD is 31 BRL to 5.68 USD. The exchange rate may fluctuate depending on various factors, including inflation rates, political stability, and market demand.
Factors Affecting the BRL to USD Exchange Rate
The BRL to USD exchange rate is influenced by various factors, including:
1. Economic Stability
The economic stability of Brazil and the United States affects the exchange rate. A stable economy attracts foreign investments, which leads to a higher demand for the local currency, increasing its value.
2. Inflation Rates
Inflation rates affect the purchasing power of a currency, which affects the exchange rate. High inflation rates lead to a depreciation of the local currency, leading to a lower exchange rate.
3. Political Stability
Political stability plays a crucial role in the exchange rate. A country with a stable political environment attracts foreign investments, leading to a higher demand for the local currency.
How to Convert 31 BRL to USD
To convert 31 BRL to USD, you need to multiply the amount of BRL by the current exchange rate. For instance, if the exchange rate is 31 BRL to 5.68 USD, you will multiply 31 by 5.68, which gives you 176.08 USD.
Tips for Transferring Money Between Brazil and the United States
When transferring money between Brazil and the United States, consider the following tips:
1. Compare Exchange Rates
Different financial institutions offer different exchange rates. It is essential to compare the rates to get the best deal.
2. Consider Transfer Fees
Some financial institutions charge transfer fees, which may affect the amount you receive. Consider the fees before making a transfer.
The timing of the transfer can affect the exchange rate. Monitor the exchange rate and make a transfer when the rate is favorable.
The BRL to USD exchange rate remains a crucial indicator for individuals and businesses seeking to transfer money between Brazil and the United States. Factors such as economic stability, inflation rates, and political stability affect the exchange rate. To convert 31 BRL to USD, multiply the amount of BRL by the current exchange rate. Consider the tips when transferring money between Brazil and the United States to get the best deal.

- precious (adjective)
- What does it mean?
- 1 : of great value or high price2 : greatly loved : dear
- How do you use it?
- "Mrs. Frisby did what she was told, first grasping the precious packages of medicine tightly between her teeth." (Robert C. O'Brien, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH)
- Are you a word wiz?
Which word do you think comes from the same root as "precious"?"Precious" and "appreciate" both come from a family of words having to do with value. Words in this family trace to the Latin root "pretium" which means "price, money, value." An early meaning of "appreciate" is "to recognize something as valuable." The related word "depreciate" means "to lower the price or value of something." And "prize" and "price" were formed when "pretium" was adopted into English as "pris."

Page Parameters
A page parameter is an arbitrary variable used to pass information into a Skuid page. There are different ways to pass in page parameters depending on the context and use case.
Types of page parameters
Including parameters in a URL is a common way to pass and retrieve information between pages in web development. Similarly, parameters can be passed between Skuid pages using:
 1. Query string parameters
 2. URL merge parameters
Query string parameters
The most commonly used way to pass parameters is by including them in a query string, which is a collection of identifiers and key-value pairs preceded by a question mark. For example:
In this example, the query string passed to the server, everything that comes after the?, is a parameter, felines, requesting all records of felines with the value "lion."
Page parameters act the same way in Skuid: they allow additional information to be passed into a Skuid page.
On Skuid on Salesforce, page parameters are added to query strings by model conditions, actions, and render/enable conditions through the Page/URL Parameter option, and, in some components, in the query string property.
When using page parameters in query string parameters, there are two important rules to keep in mind:
 1. The parameters must always come after a question mark (?), which indicates the beginning of a string of one or more URL parameters.
 2. Every subsequent URL parameter must be prepended with an ampersand (&).
As long as query string parameters are used in this format, they are accessible within a Skuid page.
Passing parameters into query strings is different in Lightning Experience. For more information, see Using Page Parameters In Salesforce Lightning.
URL Merge Parameters
Used on Skuid Platform, page parameters are included within URLs through URL merge parameters. For example,{myParameter}.
On Skuid Platform, you can use URL merge parameters in model conditions, actions, render/enable conditions through the Page/URL Parameter option. They can also be used while constructing an app, and the pages within the app, by inserting URL merge parameters in the app and/or the page URLs. They can also be used for creating REST model conditions.
Using Page Parameters
Builders can access page parameters with model conditions, actions, render/enable conditions, and through the Page/URL Parameter option on some Skuid features.
Values are accessible through the {{$Param}} global merge variable.
For example, {{$Param.myRouteParameter}}.
They may also be passed to Page Includes by setting the component's Query String property to point to this global merge variable.
Using the Go to URL action with URL merge parameters
When creating a link with URL merge parameters in Skuid Platform, the process is similar to that outlined in Build an app navigation bar using the Go to URL action.
The key difference is that you point the URL to a URL merge parameter. This merge parameter could be a context-dependent merge variable or a global merge variable.
For example, the marketing/orders path has a table listing each order, displaying some general information about each order. That table could have a row action that redirects to the following URL:
This redirect URL sends end users to a new route (/marketing/orderdetails), just like the redirect URLs from the Build an app navigation bar using the Go to URL action topic mentioned above. The key difference is the added URL merge parameter, {Id}, which references the model's Id field. This means the context will be determined by the row the end user clicks, passing in that row's Id value when clicked.
So, if the user clicks an order that has an Id of AuXun109274009, Skuid sends the user to the detail page with the row item's Id in the URL parameter: /marketing/orderdetails/AuXun109274009
The final step is setting a condition on the detail page that looks for the URL merge parameter:
 1. Click the Models tab in the App Elements pane.
 2. Click the Orders model.
 3. Add a new condition for the Id field.
 4. Set the Value as follows:
 - Content: Page/URL parameter value
 - Value: Id
 5. Set its condition state to Always On.
With this condition set, this model always looks for the URL parameter named Id for the matching record Id.
Page parameter examples:
 1. In this example, no parameters are provided.
 2.{accountId}: In this example, when a user visits this URL, Skuid pulls the "accountId" from the requested record and passes it to the URL. If the record's accountId was AuXun109274009, the URL the user would see is
 3.{accountId?}: The addition of the? makes the parameter accountId optional, so if there wasn't a value for accountId, the user would be directed to /accounts instead of receive a Page Not Found error.
Unless a parameter is marked optional with?, end users will see a Page Not Found error if they navigate to that page without the parameter in the URL.
Using Page Parameters In Salesforce Lightning
When working in Lightning experience, builders will often use record Ids to create corresponding record detail pages. The Skuid Page Lightning component can determine the record Id based on the way Lightning structures URLs.
However, if you want to pass in other parameters besides an Id, they must be namespaced and added via query string parameters.
For example, adding the default namespace prefix to the parameter accountId creates c__accountId. Non-namespaced parameters are removed from the URL on page load.
It's important to remember that, when namespacing URL parameters in Lightning, any reference made to them in a condition, action, etc, on a Skuid page is also namespaced.
If moving pages from Salesforce Classic to Lightning, you'll need to update the page parameters and any conditions, actions, etc with the namespace prefix in order to maintain functionality.

From Noita Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
The Thunder Creep (ingame name Ukkoshyypiö) is a ghostly enemy, mainly found floating around The Tower and the Cloudscape. It possesses no attacks of its own, but is constantly surrounded by an always-active Projectile Thunder Field. Like the Hyypiö and Hohtava hyypiö, it will chase the player relentlessly until killed or blocked by terrain.
Behaviour[edit | edit source]
Because this creature is entirely non-aggressive, it will never attack the player. The real danger comes from its innate Thunder Field that constantly surrounds it. Upon being attacked by a projectile from afar, it will reflect it back as a Lightning Bolt. If shot from within the circle, the lightning will strike out from it instead, away from the player. This can be beneficially exploited by the player as a potentially cheap and rapid way to produce lightning bolts, albeit *only* lightning bolts. The usual considerations and risks of using lightning spells still apply, so use carefully.
Combat Tips[edit | edit source]
The Ukkoshyypiö's unique properties require a less conventional approach to defeating it.
 - The most reliable and effective way is to attack it from within the Projectile Thunder Field itself, as only spells that cross the Projectile Thunder Field border will be turned into lightning.
 - You can also kick it, but with your foot's low damage output you'd be at it for quite a while. The Never Skip Leg Day perk makes this a much more viable option.
 - You can suffocate it by drowning it in a powdery substance or terrain.
 - Explosive spells will also work, as long as the projectile is detonated outside of the influence of the thunder field and the explosion is large enough to reach.
 - Dropping/kicking physics entities like rocks, tablets or barrels at it will quickly finish it, and may be the safest option if no other means are available.
 - It is immune to its own lightning, and highly resistant to the explosions from it.
If you lack the means to kill it, however, the safest option is to keep your distance as much as possible.

A NativeScript Font Icon Converter
Getting set up to use Icon Fonts in a NativeScript app is fairly straight-forward. NativeScript documentation covers it, and Nathanael Anderson has a tutorial covering things in more depth. However, there's one annoyance I have with using them in NativeScript and this post will cover that and one way to resolve it.
The Annoyance
Once you're set up to use icon fonts, you'll typically have a CSS rule defined to set the font-family when a certain class is used:
.fa {
 font-family: FontAwesome;
But, as you can see in the above referenced getting started docs/tutorial, CSS is not what sets the content as it would be if we were using HTML and Icon Fonts. We have to find the unicode and set the text property of our element to use that:
So you must either memorize the unicode for your font icons or be resigned to looking them up every time.
One solution
NativeScript has a feature baked into it called Converters - essentially functions you can pipe an input to and have it converted to a different output without changing the source (i.e. a property on a model). You can also have application-wide converters by adding them to your application's resources, which is what we'll be using to make it easier to use our icon fonts!.
Create our Converter Function
The first thing we'll want to do is to create the function that will be our converter. Let's create a new directory: app/utils/ and create a new TypeScript file within named fontIconConverter.ts. This converter is actually really simple - it just has a hash map of all the icons we want to use and their unicode value, then provides a function for converting strings, or parts of strings, to the appropriate unicode value. Notice below that we're also handling cases where an icon may be passed in within a string of text.
// app/utils/fontIconConverter.ts
const fontToUnicode = {
 //I recommend using the full css class name of the icon (i.e. 'fa-bluetooth')
 // instead of shortening (i.e. just 'bluetooth') in case you need to use the
 // text along side an icon
 'fa-bluetooth': '\uf293',
 'fa-hashtag': '\uf292',
 'fa-usb': '\uf287'
function valueToFontUnicode(value: string): string {
 //if the value isn't a key in our hash map, just return the value as it is
 return fontToUnicode[value] || value;
export default function fontIconConverter(value: string): string {
 //check for spaces so we can handle things like "fa-bluetooth some text here"
 if (/\s/.test(value)) {
 return value.split(/\s/).map(t => valueToFontUnicode(t)).join(' ');
 } else {
 return valueToFontUnicode(value);
Make the converter accessible application-wide
Now that we've defined a converter function, we just need to add it to our application resources to make it available application-wide. Simply navigate to your app/app.ts file, and make the following additions:
import fontIconConverter from './utils/fontIconConverter';
application.resources['fontIconConverter'] = fontIconConverter;
Use the converter in your view
Now that we've added the converter to our application resources, we can use it in any view like this:
Is it still clunky/ugly? Yep. But, I find it easier to remember the actual names of the icons over their unicode values. So, in an app where a lot of different icons are being used, this may just be helpful. If you're only using one or two icons then maybe it wouldn't be worth it - you'd have to decide :)
Quick Caveat
Any time that you are using the binding syntax {{... }} your view must have a binding context or it won't interpolate. Even if all you're doing is taking a static string, such as is the case with the font icon converter, and running it through a converter. If needed, you can just set the binding context to an empty object and that works, but kinda feels hacky to me.
It's certainly not a perfect/elegant solution, but as far as I can find it's either typing in the unicode directly to the label or some converter like this when it comes to using font icons. If you know of a better approach, feel free to share in the comments!

Teacher strike over academy row
Teachers at a school in Haringey are going on strike today, in protest against plans to turn it into an academy.

Anti-academy protest outside school
Teachers, who have gone on strike in protest against plans to turn their school into an academy, were joined by parents as they demonstrated outside the school today.
Up to 40 parents attended the protest at Downhills Primary in Haringey.
Sarah Williams, 40, who has two sons at the school, said:
"There is absolutely no evidence that a change in structure improves children's educational outcomes.
"When the process first started I thought it was about improving the school, but as we've got further along I've realised it's all about [Education Secretary] Micheal Gove's ideologies that the only way to improve is to introduce profit.
"If you look at the figures, this school was already improving, and there's absolutely no reason why the school can't continue to improve if left the way it is."

The Tiger Who Came To Tea Memory Card Game
The classic game of pairs with a twist.
To start shuffle the cards and place face down on a large surface. The youngest player goes first and turns over two cards and shows the other players what's on them. If it's a matching pair they keep them, if not the cards are turned back over in their original place. Play continues to the next person on the player's left. The key to success is remembering where the different cards are so you can select a matching pair when it's your turn. Here's the twist - if a player picks up a card with Dad walking in the door shouting 'I'm Home', the player shouts 'I'm Home' and all the cards have to be shuffled around so no-one knows where each of the cards are.
The Tiger Who Came to Tea Memory Card Game features 54 jumbo cards beautifully illustrated with scenes from Judith Kerr's classic children's storybook.
Not Suitable for children under 3 years.

DOT Physicals
What is a DOT physical?
A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exam is a medical exam required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for commercial motor vehicle drivers. DOT physical exams help determine whether a commercial vehicle driver is physically and mentally fit to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). DOT physical examinations help test the general wellness of a professional driver and screen for any mental or neurological medical conditions that may affect a driver's ability to safely operate a vehicle. You must pass a DOT physical to receive a commercial driver's license (CDL).
Who needs a DOT physical exam?
People who are looking to become professional drivers must pass a DOT physical exam before they can receive a CDL. This includes truck drivers bus drivers. You must pass a DOT physical if you:
 - Operate a commercial motor vehicle with a gross combination weight of more than 10,000 pounds.
 - Operate a motor vehicle that carries more than 15 people.
 - Are paid to operate a motor vehicle that carries more than 8 people.
 - Transport hazardous materials that require the vehicle to have a hazmat placard.
Are CDL physicals the same as DOT physicals?
Yep! A CDL physical exam is the same thing as a DOT physical exam. You must pass a DOT physical in order to obtain a commercial driver's license. A DOT physical ensures that you are physically and emotionally fit, with the mental acuity, to drive a commercial vehicle.
What does a DOT physical cover?
DOT physical exams assess your ability to safely operate a commercial vehicle. If you pass a DOT physical examination, you will be given a Medical Examination Report and a Medical Examiner's Certificate. The DOT physical will cover:
Medical history: You will need to provide medical records that display your medical history. The examiner will also ask questions about the medication you take, surgeries you've had, and substances you may use (like drugs, alcohol, and tobacco).
Physical examination: Your examiner will perform a full physical evaluation to assess your eyesight, hearing, and blood pressure. The doctor will determine whether you have any underlying conditions.
Urinalysis: You will be asked to take a urine test to screen for health conditions such as diabetes.
Most health conditions will not keep you from passing a DOT physical for your CDL. There are, however, a few conditions that may disqualify you, including:
 - High blood pressure
 - Epilepsy
 - Some cases of sleep apnea
 - Poor vision that cannot be corrected
 - Deafness that cannot be corrected with hearing aids
 - Diabetes
 - Irregular heartbeat
 - Heart or lung disease
If you can manage some of the conditions listed above, you may still be able to pass a DOT physical. The medical examiner will ask questions about how you manage such conditions, and how they affect your daily life.
How do I find a DOT physical near me?

DOT physicals usually cost around $80-$100. These are one-time prices that will usually be listed upfront by the clinic.
On Sesame, DOT physicals start at $71. Connect with a doctor in Raymore, MO to get an affordable, quality physical today.
How long does a DOT physical take?
The DOT physical is a very routine physical exam, so unless any serious health concerns are found, the entire exam will only take about 30-45 minutes. To prepare for your DOT physical, it is recommended that you bring eyeglasses/contacts, hearing aids, medications, or other medical devices that you regularly use. Having this information on hand will help speed up the process.
What is a DOT medical card?
The DOT medical card is another name for the medical examiner's certificate. This certifies that you are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to operate a commercial vehicle. You must receive a medical examiner's certificate to be able to receive a commercial driver's license (CDL).
How long is a DOT medical certification valid?
If you pass your DOT physical exam, you will be given a medical examiner's certificate that is valid for two years. If you happen to have a condition like diabetes or high blood pressure, you may be required to take a DOT physical exam every year. If this is the case, you will be informed during your first physical exam.
So affordable. So simple. So easy to use.


Leaky city plumbing raises Ontario water bills by up to a third on average, new study shows
Aging, leaky and crumbling pipes cost the average household in Ontario up to a third more on its monthly water utility bills, according to a new report on the state of the province's water infrastructure.
56-page RCCAO report says hundreds of millions of litres of drinking water wasted daily
This watermain break along a stretch of Eglinton Avenue in Toronto closed a 100-metre stretch of busy thoroughfare in 2018. A new study says the city has 1,400 watermain breaks a year, almost four a day. (Tony Smyth/CBC)
Aging, leaky and crumbling pipes cost the average household in Ontario up to a third more on its monthly water utility bills, according to a new report by a think-tank created by a consortium of provincial construction unions and contractors.
50 and not so fabulous:
The report said nearly half of all water mains in Ontario are at least half a century old, which is the average age for failure.
The study, on the state of the province's water infrastructure, looked at problems within Ontario's 444 municipalities and doesn't include Indigenous communities, which have struggled with access to clean, reliable drinking water for decades.
The 56-page report was paid for and published this month by the Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario (RCCAO). It suggests communities need more money to maintain, repair and replace aging and leaking plumbing that wastes hundreds of millions of litres of clean drinking water a day, and taxpayers tens of millions of dollars a year.
In Toronto alone, the study said, it's estimated the city has been losing 103 million litres of clean water per day for the past 15 years.
'Huge amount of waste'
"It's a huge amount of waste, not only in the amount of water being spilled, but also in the energy being used to pressurize these pipes," said Tamer El-Diraby, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Toronto and the study's lead author.
This 2018 images shows a collapsed section of O'Connor Street in Ottawa, as a result of a watermain break. (CBC)
It's not just energy and water, but also repairs and time. Between Canada and the U.S., the study points out, the two countries average 700 watermain breaks a day, costing more than $10 billion a year to repair. A British study estimated traffic delays from utility construction cost the country $2.3 billion US each year.
Leaky pipes:
The cost of water leakage makes up to a tenth to a third of the average water bill in Ontario. In some municipalities, up to half the bill was due to leaky plumbing, the study said.
Watermain breaks however, are only part of the story when it comes to leakage. The study suggests a hole in a water pipe as small as 1.5 mm can waste up to 3,570 litres of water in 24 hours and cost $14.54 a day.
Toronto loses anywhere from 10 to 15 per cent of total drinking water supply to leakage each year, or about 103 million litres per day. Across Ontario, system leakage is estimated at anywhere between 10 to 40 per cent, according to the study.
El-Diraby said it was too difficult to rank which Ontario municipalities were doing better or worse in terms of managing their water infrastructure with any kind of accuracy.
Bad pipes:
The study said Chatham-Kent had the highest portion of its water infrastructure in poor or worse condition, including 37 per cent that had 'expired.' In Windsor, 27 per cent of its plumbing is still operational, despite being 'beyond its useful life.'
Instead, he broke it down in terms of larger and smaller municipalities. While both are experiencing resource shortfalls in terms of managing their water systems, the problem is particularly acute in rural communities, where density is low and there are minimal resources and training to properly maintain a vast network of aging water infrastructure.
"They have this double problem," said El-Diraby. "They don't have enough money to do the most basic analysis and they also do not have the expertise to do that analysis."
While larger cities usually have the knowhow, they lack proper funding, according to El-Diraby, who points to London, Ont., as an example of a community blessed with a highly competent team that gets about half the funding it needs to do its job.
Municipalities don't have funds to replace old pipes
"They have 50 per cent or less than the money they need to keep the assets in good shape. So while we made great gains in the last 20 years since the days of Walkerton, with the current funding levels, it is expected the average quality of water and waste water assets in London is going to decline."
El-Diraby was referring to the Walkerton water crisis over two decades ago that caused Canada's worst e-coli outbreak.
Toronto loses 103 million litres of drinking water a day to system leakage, enough for the daily needs of 250,000 people or to fill 15,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. (John Badcock/CBC )
According to the RCCAO report, a lack of money is the most chronic problem when it comes to the state of the province's water infrastructure.
"Water infrastructure is a municipal expenditure and responsibility," said Krystle Caputo, a spokeswoman for the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, in a written statement to CBC News.
One of the solutions would be to raise the price of water, which many municipalities are already doing. But El-Diraby points out that many municipal councils lack the will to raise prices lest they raise the ire of voters.
"We need to relook the funding scheme. This is not a call for privatization, but a call to rethink and innovate with new ideas."
Holey moley:
A hole as small as 1.5 mm in a water pipe wastes 3,570 L a day and costs $14.54, the study said. A nearly 5-mm hole wastes 32,130 L in 24 hours and costs $130.88.
He suggests municipalities start making water infrastructure part of smart city systems, where city crews don't have to wait until a watermain break happens to fix aging pipes, or the pressure in the water system could be used to generate energy used in electric vehicles.
If that doesn't get people's attention, El-Diraby suggests ratepayers can avoid paying the one-tenth to one-third extra on their water bills if municipalities paid for repairs and replacements at the same rate.
"If the government takes the same amount of money, or even a fraction of that, and put it into fixing the pipes, we will not need to increase water pricing and we will not need to increase property taxes.
"We pay for the leakage no matter what, but it's more efficient if we direct this money not towards wasted water, but fixing the water system. The return on investment goes higher."

Farm diversification into tourism - Implications for social identity?
MetadataVis full innførsel
OriginalversjonJournal of Rural Studies 2011, 27(1):35-44 10.1016/j.jrurstud.2010.09.002
This article deals with how diversification and transformation of farming into tourism may influence the social identity of farmers. Based on a study of 19 farms run by couples engaged with agritourism, it shows how the development of tourism on the farms can be understood in a perspective of repeasantization; and how the couples draw on their farm work, culture and place to situate themselves in a new working role. Through food, stories, activities and themselves as hosts they mediate a strong farm identity. The article also explores how identities change through identifying three processes by which the 'new' work of tourism may destabilize identities. One is a shift in the meaning of farmer identity. Another is the gradual change towards a new master identity, and thirdly it finds a multiplicity of identities practiced as serial identities that shift as they relate to various social memberships and settings.

PyX — Example: drawing/arrow.py
Adding an arrow when stroking a path
from pyx import * c = canvas.canvas() c.stroke(path.curve(0, 0, 0, 4, 2, 4, 3, 3), [style.linewidth.THICK, style.linestyle.dashed, color.rgb.blue, deco.earrow([deco.stroked([color.rgb.red, style.linejoin.round]), deco.filled([color.rgb.green])], size=1)]) c.writeEPSfile("arrow") c.writePDFfile("arrow")
The example shows how to use an arrow decorator instance to add an arrow to a path when it is stroked. Instead of using a default arrow instance, we create a highly customized arrow head.
Apart from setting arrow specific features like the arrow size, a list of styles and decorators can be passed to the arrow. In this example, the arrow is stroked in red with round corners. In addition, the arrow is filled in green.
Note that style properties are inherited from the outer towards the inner decorators. In this example, the linewidth is also used when stroking the arrow head. We could for example also skip the color.rgb.green value in the
deco.filled decorator and the arrow would be filled in blue.
To continue removing the deco.filled features, it is equivalent to write
deco.filled. This is due to the fact that
deco.filled already is an instance, which can be modified by call. An empty list does not really modify it. But you could even skip
deco.filled completely and the arrow would still be filled with blue color. The reason is that the arrow is implemented in a way that it always merges the
filled decorator. This step in the evaluation of the attributes is transparent to other settings: if we would replace the
color.rgb.green, we would still get a filled green arrow. You could then remove the
deco.stroked inside of the arrow instance and the line would become green as well. Note that the order of the attributes is not important for this style delegation feature.
Since we have learned that the arrow decorators always fill the arrow head by default, the question is now whether and how such a feature can be removed. This is done by clear instances available as a
clear class attribute. Hence in case of
deco.filled, it is available as
deco.filled.clear. When you add this attribute to the earrow call, the arrowhead will not be filled anymore and you will notice that the blue line is not stroked inside the arrowhead.
You might also have noticed, that the dashed linestyle is not used when stroking the arrowhead. This is similar to the default
filled feature of the arrowhead: The arrowhead merges a
style.linestyle.normal to ensure a solid line. Instead of manually setting
style.linestyle.dashed in the arrowhead, you could use
style.linestyle.clear to restore the linestyle setting of the path.
The arrow head is a so-called ornament. Beside attaching stroke and fill styles during the process of converting a path into a decorated path, any number of ornaments can be added to the decorated path. When adding ornaments, parts of the path can also be marked as not-to-be-stroked. While this is taken into account in a final stroke operation, different decorators do not see this information such that decorators always commute.

Lee Kyouhong: Breathing of Light
Soluna Fine Art is delighted to present Breathing of Light, the first solo exhibition of the Korean glass artist Lee Kyouhong in Hong Kong. Within the exhibition Soluna Fine Art will present seven new mixed-media works highlighting Lee's current practice and exploration of the material and metaphorical qualities of glass.
In this latest series, Lee has created works that explore the materiality and phenomenological metamorphosis of glass to examine the concept of '정중동' '靜中動' (movements in stillness). Titled, Breathing of Light, these works predominantly work with a base layer of flat painted mirror and laminated glass primarily utilising red, yellow and blue, with three dimensional wedges of glass arranged irregularly on the surface. This compositional form confers Lee's perception of harmonic beauty in a chaotic situation, and visually describes his search for balance in life. The thematic juxtaposition of harmony in chaos is furthered by the contrast in textures of the glass elements. In this regard, despite the rough configuration of the wedges, they lie upon the flat surface like droplets of water making no physical indentation or impression on its serenity.

Goodnestone Serpentine Walk and Avenue, Kent
Goodnestone is a grade II* park and garden near Canterbury, famous for its association with Jane Austen. It also has a celebrated walled garden and an equally good woodland garden. As part of the restoration of the historic landscape and the development of the site as a visitor attraction, acta restored a walk leading from the garden, around the park boundary, past the façade of the restored ice house and back to the mansion. This required detailed tree and shrub specification, preparation of contract documents and site supervision. The walk is now a popular feature of visits to the park. In a later piece of work we established a new 500m-long plane tree avenue, leading from the mansion to the village.
Client - Lord Julian Fitzwalter
 1. Substantial sections of the walk have abundant daffodils, probably planted between the wars in a previous version of the walk
 2. The walk takes its name from a formal section laid out in the eighteenth century as a sequence of regular curves. This could not be traced on the ground and our alignment followed a straightened-out later version

Game and Fish discusses doe limit
Thursday, August 14, 2003
There seems to be some confusion over the number of does that may be taken during the upcoming deer season in Arkansas. A few hunters are asking about the implications of the one-doe limit in regard to special Arkansas Game and Fish Commission wildlife management area hunts.
The statewide doe bag limit is one. Even though a WMA and a Deer Zone are separate zones and may have different harvest restrictions, hunters cannot kill more than one doe combined, AGFC Wildlife Assistant Chief Doyle Shook said. "If you have already killed a doe by archery before a WMA hunt or before the zone doe-quota permit is valid, you cannot kill a doe during the WMA permit hunt, nor can you use the zone doe-quota permit."
Here's an example for hunters: If a hunter has killed a doe with a bow on Oct. 1 and he has a zone doe-quota permit for Deer Zone 11 or a WMA permit such as the one used at Fort Chaffee (which allows a hunter to take a doe or either sex), he is not allowed to take another doe because he has killed a doe during the archery season. No more than one doe can be taken in an individual's bag limit.
Another example: If a hunter kills a doe by a zone doe-quota permit and has a permit for a later either-sex WMA hunt, the hunter will have to buck-only hunt because he has filled his doe bag limit.
Statewide, the season bag limit is three deer. A season bag limit may contain two legal bucks and one doe. Hunters must obey zone and WMA restrictions and may hunt in different zones and WMAs as long as the statewide season bag limit is not exceeded.
In zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11, the bag limit is the same (two legal bucks and one doe) but before taking a doe a hunter must have a zone doe-quota permit. Zone doe-quota permits are not valid on WMAs that lie within the boundaries of zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11. The bag limit for archery is the same as the statewide limit. A zone doe-quota permit is not required to take a doe unless a hunter is in zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11 when a firearms deer season is open.

What is significant?
The Shot Tower in Alexandra Parade Clifton Hill was constructed circa 1882 for Richard Hodgson. Alfred Harber and Simon Hughes were the owners in 1887 before Walter Coop, from the well-known Melbourne shot manufacturing family, purchased the premises in 1896. The Shot Tower is a brick tower 80.1 metres high,circular in plan and resembling a tall chimney. The walls are punctuated at regular intervals by semi-circular arched windows and decorative brick bands. The shaft is finely decorated around the openings, and at various levels, with polychrome patterns, and is topped by a small pavilion.
How is it significant?
The Shot Tower is of historical and architectural significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
The Shot Tower is of historical significance as a fine example of a rare and distinctive building type and as evidence of an early industrial process. It is probably the largest shot tower in Australia and is certainly taller than the tower now incorporated in the Melbourne Central development. It is also the earliest of the two surviving Victorian shot towers. The tower provides tangible evidence of the process of lead shot production. Its form reflects the shot production process: the shot was produced by dropping molten lead through sieves at the top of the tower into water at the bottom. The height of the tower was necessary to allow the shot to form correctly before reaching the bottom.
The Shot Tower is of historical significance for its long association with the Coop family, who had extensive interests in shot manufacture and smelting? they owned both of the two remaining towers in Melbourne? and as a local landmark for more than a century.
The Shot Tower is of architectural significance as a particularly fine example of an industrial building of the late 19th century. The tower is largely intact and in good condition, a testament to the high quality of the original brickwork. The decorative brickwork is indicative of the pride and investment that went into this industrial structure and as such is symbolic of the significant economic and urban expansion that occurred in Melbourne during the 1880s.

One of the challenges in an experimental study of solder joint reliability is to determine when cracks occur in a solder joint or when a solder joint fails. Cracks in a real solder joint are difficult to identify using an X-Ray system. Cross-sectioning and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a destructive method. A common non-destructive test method is to monitor resistance increase in a solder joint or a daisy-chain. However, no scientific research has been done in establishing the relationship between the crack area of an interconnection and the change in resistance of the interconnection. This paper proposes a method of defining failure criteria as the resistance increase in a solder joint exceeding a threshold. The threshold is determined by k times the range over the natural variation in resistance measured by a measurement system. The natural variation by random cause is judged using X-bar and R charts. The principles of defining failure criteria are to be able to detect failure of solder joints as early as possible with minimum false detection due of measurement system error/variation. An experimental study confirmed that a full crack of an interconnection occurs when the increase of resistance in the interconnection is 10 times the natural variation of resistance change. The results of this study could be used to narrow the definition of failure in consensus standards IPC 9701A, JESD22-B111, and IPC/JEDEC-9702.

8 Reasons to Dump a Mutual Fund
Reasons to Dump a Mutual Fund
Many financial advisors and academics do not advise selling stocks and mutual funds when prices are dropping during bear markets. If you can just hold on from side to side thick and thin, they argue, you are likely to enjoy returns better than any other asset class over the long run.
Though, there are occasions when selling a mutual fund might be acceptable. Buy and hold is not everlastingly. Here we glance at the top eight reasons for selling a mutual fund.
1. Portfolio Rebalancing
Over time, trends in financial markets may cause asset allocations to diverge from desired settings. In other words, some mutual funds can nurture to a large proportion of the portfolio while others shrink to a smaller proportion, exposing you to a different level of risk.
To avoid these possibilities, the portfolio can be rebalanced periodically by selling units in funds that have relatively large weights and transferring the proceeds to funds that have relatively small weights. Under this rule, the time to sell equity mutual funds is when they have enjoyed high-quality gains over an extended bull market and the percentage allocated to them has drifted up too high.
2. Mutual Fund Changes or Mismanagement
Mutual funds might change in a many number of ways that can be at odds with your original reasons for buying. For an instance, a star portfolio manager could jump ship and be replaced by someone missing the same capabilities. Or there may be approach drift, which arises when a manager gradually alters his or her investing approach over time. (For more insight, check out Focus Pocus May Not Lead to Magical Returns and Must You Follow Your Fund Manager?)
Other signals to move on include an increasing trend in annual management expense ratios (MERs) or a fund that has developed large relative to the market. If the fund has developed large compared to the market, managers could have difficulty differentiating their portfolios from the market in order to earn above-market returns.
3. Investor Growth
As you gain more and more experience and you can acquire more and more wealth and hence you may outgrow mutual funds. With larger wealth comes the ability to buy enough individual stocks to achieve adequate diversification and avoid MERs. And with superior knowledge comes the confidence to do it yourself, whether it is actively picking stocks or buying and holding market indexes through exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
4. Life Cycle Changes
Although stocks historically have been the best investments to own over the long run, their instability makes them untrustworthy vehicles in the short term. While retirement, children's post-secondary educations, or some other funding requirements approach, a good idea is to shift out of stock-market funds into assets that have more certain returns, such as bonds or term deposits, whose maturities coincide with the time that the funds will be needed.
5. Mistakes
Every now and then, investors' due diligence is incomplete and they end up owning funds they otherwise would have not purchased. For an instance, the investor might discover that the fund is too impulsive for their tastes, a closet-index fund with a high MER, or invested in undesirable securities.
Portfolio errors might also have been dedicated by the investor. A frequent mistake is over-diversifying with too many funds, which can be difficult to keep tabs on and can tend to average out to market performance (less fund fees).
Another common misstep is to puzzle owning a large number of funds with diversification. A large number of funds will not smooth out fluctuations if they tend to move in the same direction. What's desirable is a collection of funds, of which some can be expected to be up when others are down.
6. Valuation
Shift out of mutual funds to rebalance your fixed portfolio allocations by using a stretchy or opportunistic approach. A common valuation benchmark is the price-earnings ratio (P/E ratio); for U.S. stocks, it has averaged 14 to 15 over time, so if it rises to 24 to 26, valuations are overextended and the risk of a downturn is prominent.
7. Something Better Comes Along
Selling on every occasion something better came along. In the mutual fund territory, some funds can come onto the market with innovations that are better at doing what your fund is doing. Or, over time, it may become obvious other portfolio managers are performing better against the same benchmarks.
8. Tax Reduction
Mutual funds held in taxable accounts might be down significantly from their purchase price. They can be sold to understand capital losses that are used to offset taxable capital gains and thus lower taxes.
If the sale was exclusively to realize a capital loss for taxation purposes, the investor will want to re-establish the position after the 30-day period necessary to avoid the superficial-loss rule. The investor might take a possibility that the price will be the same, lower or might choose to hold a proxy for the fund's price movement.
Tax-loss selling tends to take place during August to late December. That's also the era when many funds have anticipated the capital gains and income they will be distributing to investors at year end. These amounts are taxable in the hands of the investor, so a supplementary reason to sell a losing fund from the tax point of view may be to avoid a large year-end distribution that would entail paying additional taxes.

These Giant Urban Flowers Bloom When Pedestrians Walk Under Them
HQ Architects have designed a set of giant flowers that bloom and react to pedestrians and transportation.
Located in Vallero Square in the heart of Jerusalem in Israel, the flowers have been installed as part of the municipality's effort to improve the urban space.
The four giant flowers, that are 30 feet tall, have been placed in key positions, enabling them to be viewed from all around the square and the nearby market.
Each of the flowers also provide a sense of movement to the square, as they bloom by inflating themselves when pedestrians walk by, but when there are no people, they close.

text: Julia Pastrana (1834 – 25 March 1860) was a woman born with hypertrichosis who took part in 19th-century exhibition tours in North America and Europe. Pastrana, an indigenous woman from Mexico, was born in 1834, somewhere in the Sierra of Sinaloa State. She was born with a genetic condition called hypertrichosis terminalis (or generalized hypertrichosis lanuginosa); that is, her face and body were covered with straight black hair. Her ears and nose were unusually large and her teeth were irregular. This latter condition was also caused by a rare disease undiagnosed in her lifetime, namely Gingival hyperplasia, which thickened her lips and gums. Charles Darwin described her as: "Julia Pastrana, a Spanish dancer, was a remarkably fine woman, but she had a thick masculine beard and a hairy forehead; she was photographed, and her stuffed skin was exhibited as a show; but what concerns us is, that she had in both the upper and lower jaw an irregular double set of teeth, one row being placed within the other, of which Dr. Purland took a cast. From the redundancy of the teeth her mouth projected, and her face had a gorilla-like appearance".

Check whether two strings are isomorphic to each other in Python
In this article, we will learn how to check whether the given two strings are isomorphic to each other in Python. Two strings are isomorphic if there is one-to-one mapping possible for every character in string 1 to every character in string2.
Input: string1 = "aaabb"
 string2 = "xxxyy"
Output: True
Explanation: character a to character x and character b maps to character y.
Input: string1 = "aaabb"
 string2 = "zxcvb"
Output: False
Check whether two strings are isomorphic in Python
1. Firstly, check if the length of two strings is equal if not return False.
2. Create a list mark of size 256 to store mark the visited characters in string2, initialize its value to Fasleand a list map to store the mapping of every character from string1 to string 2, initialize its value to -1.
3. Now iterate the string1 from range 0 to length of string
 - Check if the current character of string1 appears for the first time in it.
 - If the current character of the string2 already appeared, then return False.
 - Else, mark the current character of string2 visited and store the mapping of the current character in the map list.
 - Now check if the current character in string1 has already appeared, then check if the previous appearance mapped to the same character of the string, if not return False.
def stringIsomorphic(string1, string2):
 m = len(string1)
 n = len(string2)
 if m!= n:
 return False
 mark = [False] * MAX_CHARS
 map = [-1] * MAX_CHARS
 for i in range(n):
 if map[ord(string1[i])] == -1:
 if mark[ord(string2[i])] == True:
 return False
 mark[ord(string2[i])] = True
 map[ord(string1[i])] = string2[i]
 elif map[ord(string1[i])]!= string2[i]:
 return False
 return True
string1 = input("Enter the string 1: ")
string2 = input("Enter the string 2: ")
print(stringIsomorphic(string1, string2))
Enter the string 1: ccddaa
Enter the string 2: xxyyzz
Enter the string 1: abba
Enter the string 2: asdd

Nintendo's 3D Can Be Switched Off (But What Does This Mean For Games?)
Seeking to allay fears over the possible health problems associated with playing games in 3D, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said that his company's upcoming 3DS handheld will have a "toggle", allowing users to switch between 2D and 3D.
From a legal standpoint, it's a solid decision. There are many people with conditions that mean playing in 3D is either painful or just doesn't work, so having the option of playing games in 2D gets around this problem easily.
But what does it mean for 3D games? If there's an "off" switch for the technology, does that mean the games won't make fundamental use of it, since they'll need to be designed to run in both 2D and 3D? That'd reduce the tech to a mere gimmick.
Or will it mean that some games will need to be marked "3D Only", meaning those who can't play in 3D (or don't want to) are straight out of luck?
It's a messy situation to find yourself in. Then again, when it comes to the transition to 3D entertainment, messy seems par for the course.

Things you should be careful in working on NMF(Natural Metal Finish) surface
Thank you Mr. Derek Bradshaw for this comments
There could be adjustment problems with dry tranfers when used on models that have been finished in buffable metallic coatings (Alclad, for example).
The transfers adhere imediately with little pressure (before burnishing), and are likely to tear if repositioned, so please be careful if you are applying these transfers to any model finished with this type of paint.
If the model has a sealing coat of varnish, and then has the tranfers applied, the problem does not occur.
We also advise that, after application of the transfers, that an additional (light) sealing coat of varnish is applied to the model.
Foil finishes, and car type (or other hard silver finishes) are OK, and are not affected in this manner, only the buffable finishes that use powdered metal in conjunction with the paint.

Healing Circle Garden
Posted 04/26/2011 by Childhelp
The American Indian medicine wheel was an ancient way of creating sacred space and calling forth the healing energies of nature. Medicine wheels were constructed by laying stones in a particular pattern; usually including a center stone with lines radiating towards the outer circle. Staff at the Alice C. Tyler Village in Virginia recently called upon the healing energies of the medicine wheel to help the children who reside at the Village.
A circle garden was constructed near one of the residential cottages on the Village grounds in 2006. One young resident helped to draw the circle of the garden using stakes and string while several others helped to collect rocks used to outline the garden. The children created planting areas by collecting and piling pine needle mulch and spoiled hay within the circle. Children also helped to build two beautiful Leopold benches that grace the garden.
A garden club was formed of several children who help with garden maintenance each week. This not only keeps the garden looking great, but helps boost the children's self-worth as well. The garden is currently filled with perennials, self seeding plants, and the beautiful Sunflowers which have been a prominent part of the garden every year. Often during the spring and summer, children and staff will stop to peek at the swallow or bluebird babies in the nesting boxes located near the garden.
Several growing seasons have come and gone since the garden was built back in 2006, but the children of the Village continue to enjoy the healing powers that it brings. Whether it's building self esteem or simply offering a chance to reflect on the beauty of nature, the circle garden continues to be a sacred space for the abused and neglected children who make the Village their home.
To protect the identities of the children in our care, we cannot show their faces publicly.

Power Absorption
Power Information
To absorbs magical powers leaving the original owner without any of their powers.
 - Point hand at target
 - Through touch (may involve killing the victim or when using artifacts)
Defensive Power
Image Gallery
Power Absorption is the ability to absorb magical powers, leaving the original owner without their powers. It is often accomplished by killing the power's original host and then taking the power, but has been done without killing the original host.
Methods of Power AbsorptionEdit
Warlocks absorb the powers of other magical beings by killing the host and naturally obtaining their magic. Their most common targets are witches, though they go after demons and whitelighters as well.
The Slime Demon used this power to feed on the magic of other beings for survival, as did the Spider demon along with her Life Draining power. However, they used different methods: for example; The Slime Demon would engulf the foe with its slimy figure and digests them, while The Spider Demon would wrap her victims in a cocoon of webs and drain their powers through her hands
The Dogan had the power to absorb the Essence of other magical beings, good or evil by killing them, absorbing their powers and the beings themselves through his hands in the process. The method used by Zankou was the same.
The Titans had the power to absorb the abilities of other magical beings by pointing both hands at them.
Cole Turner was also able to absorb powers through touch while he was in the Demonic Wasteland. Though it's unknown if he can do that outside of Wasteland.
Parasite Demons were a duo of demons cursed by a witch, reducing them to a powerless state, forcing them the absorb other beings' life force and powers to live.
Sirk had the power to absorb the abilities of other magical beings, by killing them. He gained Paige Matthews ability to access magic school when he killed her. He also gains random powers for each kill, whether his victim is magical or not.
All warlocks have the innate ability to absorb the power of the beings they kill by stabbing them with an athame. However, Matthew Tate had the ability to copy the powers used on him without killing the victim.
Certain Athames are able to naturally absorb a being's powers into the blade and then into the wielder. It is commonly used by Warlocks to kill witches and steal/store their powers.
The Hollow can absorb all powers that it comes in physical contact with. Once the Hollow is contained, the powers are returned.
The Crystal Sword was a formidable magical weapon formerly owned by Gabriel Statler which could absorb the powers and skills of other magical beings.
Drake dè Mon, a former Mercury demon, once made a Deal with a Sorcerer to be made human, with a soul, but if Drake used his powers in an offensive manner, they would be forfeit to the Sorcerer.
Spells and RitualsEdit
A witch can use a spell to extract the power of Empathy from someone: To Relinquish an Empath's Power. However, the power will find a new host, the spell caster, if physical contact is established during the spell. However, the power of empathy will drive the witch insane if they were never meant to have it, and will die within 24 hours unless the power is withdrawn.
A witch can also use a spell to steal another witch's magic: To Separate a Witch from Her Powers. While witches can use this spell to take someone's magic into themselves, they can also redirect it to someone they intend to give the power to. Gail Altman, Amanda and Helen used this spell to deliver the Charmed Ones' powers to the demon Cryto. The spell is used once again by the Stillman sisters to steal the Charmed Ones' powers for themselves.
In the spell to separate a witch's power, there is also a potion required for the spell to work properly. Zankou used this potion to steal the Charmed Ones' powers. However, the potion is useless if the witch it targets is in astral mode.
Offensive UsageEdit
Power absorption is mostly used to weaken one's opponents, draining them and leaving them powerless to fight while adding the absorbed powers and magic to one's own arsenal. In the case of the Hollow or the Parasite Demons, they absorb the magic of the powers or potions used on them, granting them a form of immunity towards attacks, but they vary in the fact that The Hollow can automatically absorb the powers used on it or its host(s) but the Parasite Demons have to do it consciously, leaving them vulnerable to attack when caught off-guard.
List of UsersEdit
Original power
Through artifacts, potions, etc.
 1. Through the use of an Athame.
 2. Through the Crystal Sword.
 3. While in the the Demonic Wasteland.
