Teachers union sues state over lost day
The Washington Education Association sued the state yesterday over a lost day of work.
The lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court, challenges the Legislature's decision in 2002 to cut a non-student learning-improvement day for teachers. The 76,000-member union figures that cost the average teacher about $250.
"That day had become part of the definition of basic education in the state of Washington," said Charles Hasse, the WEA's president.
The lawsuit argues that the decision violates both the Washington Constitution's mandate that the state provide for basic education and Initiative 732's requirement that teachers be given annual cost-of-living raises.
The union hasn't been shy about challenging lawmakers before, especially in recent years, as tight budgets have prompted the Legislature to rein in spending.
Last year, the state Supreme Court agreed with the WEA's contention that lawmakers had violated I-732 by not providing raises for all school employees, not just those whose base pay came from the state.
This year, lawmakers amended the initiative to render that ruling irrelevant and suspend the yearly raises, although some money was allocated to increase pay for the newest teachers. The WEA has threatened to sue over that move as well, arguing that who gets pay increases should be dictated by local contracts between teachers and school districts.


How to Clean Your Rotary Evaporator
By Aimee O'Driscoll, 16 December 2019
A rotary evaporator is a complex piece of equipment with multiple components. As such, it's definitely not the simplest item in the lab to clean. However, it's important to clean your rotary evaporator properly. Leaving residue in its components could pose safety risks or affect the outcome of subsequent applications.
There are two main ways to clean your rotary evaporator glassware, both of which we'll discuss further below, including their pros and cons:
 1. The "quick and dirty" method: This involves a quick flush with acetone or another solvent.
 2. Thorough cleaning of glassware: In this case, you need to dismantle the apparatus before cleaning.
In either case, you should aim to clean the rotovap soon after you finish using it. This avoids residue drying onto the glassware and making it more difficult to clean.
1. The "Quick and Dirty" Method
You may have heard about a fast and simple method to clean your rotary evaporator glassware using a quick flush with acetone. The video below illustrates how this is done, but here are the general steps:
 - Fill a small to medium-sized two-neck round-bottom flask about halfway with acetone. (A three-neck flask with a stopper in one socket will work too.)
 - Connect one socket to the rotovap (where the evaporation flask would usually go). You can secure it in place or hold it with one hand. Note, the flask should not be set to spin during this process.
 - Use your thumb to close the second socket of the two-neck flask.
 - Set the vacuum pump to around 250 mbar and switch it on. You should start to see the acetone boil as a result of the reduced pressure.
 - Quickly remove your thumb from the socket and you'll see acetone shoot through the rotovap.
 - Close the socket with your thumb again and repeat the flush if needed.
The obvious advantage to this method is that it's very fast. You don't even need to dismantle your setup. However, it could potentially cause problems. The rapid suction of the solvent into the system means you could up with solvent in your vacuum pump. If this gets into the oil of an oiled pump, it will decrease the time you'll have between oil changes. If you're using an oil-free pump such as a membrane pump, it could become flooded with solvent. If this happens, you'll need to keep it running to help clear the solvent and dry it out.
In either case, in the long run, you're better off skipping this cleaning method altogether and dismantling your setup for cleaning instead.
2. Thorough Cleaning of Glassware
The proper way to clean your rotary evaporator is to take it apart and wash each piece separately. Removable and washable parts include the evaporation flask, condenser, collection flask, and vapor tube.
Many manufacturers will provide advice about cleaning a specific rotary evaporator's components, but these are the basic steps:
 1. Ensure parts are adequately cooled (chilled condensers should be at room temperature).
 2. Remove the component and dispose of its contents according to regulations.
 3. Flush the component with an appropriate solvent. If necessary and suitable as per manufacturer specifications, you can use a brush to remove more stubborn residue.
 4. Allow components to dry before reassembly.
Depending on your application, you may wish to sterilize your glassware using an autoclave. Just bear in mind that if you're using safety-coated glassware, there may be some restrictions on what settings you use and how long you autoclave for. In particular, you should avoid sudden changes in pressure as this can cause the coating to come away from the glassware, leaving folds and creases in the coating once the glassware cools.
Cleaning Other Parts of a Rotary Evaporator
Aside from the glassware, you need to keep up with regular cleaning of other parts of the rotary evaporator.
 - The exterior of the rotovap unit: Cleaning the outside of the rotary evaporator is relatively straightforward. You can wipe it with a cloth moistened with water and a mild detergent, but you should avoid using a flammable cleaning agent such as ethanol on the outside of the unit.
 - The heating bath: This should also be cleaned with an appropriate solvent or water and a mild detergent. Note that some manufacturers advise not to use solvents on a bath, particularly those with Teflon coatings. Be sure that the bath is switched off before cleaning and that the evaporation flask, if still attached, is in the upper stop position.
 - Protective covers: These can be removed and cleaned, but note that they may scratch easily, so avoid using abrasive materials for cleaning. Covers made of protective glass may be sensitive to certain solvents, so it's best to stick with water and a mild detergent.

District Police Departments
Use of forcible means
When on duty, the police have the right in certain situations to use forcible means that can be considered justifiable. In determining this justifiability, the factors considered include the importance and urgency of the duty, the dangerousness of the resistance being shown and the available resources.
The police are entitled to use forcible means in order to
Only the minimum necessary force is used. The lock to an apartment, for example, will not be broken unless this is urgently required. Instead, the police will acquire a key with which entry can be made without causing any damage.
Use of force is permitted in all types of police duties. While it is most commonly used in uniformed police duties, force may also be used by other police officers when, for example, apprehending offenders. Police officers, as indeed anyone else, also have the right of self-defence.

Can humans float on mercury?
The liquid metal is about 13 times as dense as water, which means that a 2 liter jug of mercury weighs more than 50 pounds. And because we meat bags are much less dense than mercury — on average 1.062 g/cubic centimeter — we're able to float in it.
Will things float in mercury?
Mercury is a metallic element and has a density of 13.5 grams per cubic centimeter (0.49 pounds per cubic inch). This means that the density of mercury is approximately 13 times greater than that of water. Therefore, some objects that sink in water will float on mercury, including pieces of lead, silver and steel.
Will a gold ring float on mercury?
Mercury is a liquid metal and has a density of 13.5 g/cm³ and gold has density of 19.3 g/cm³. Since density of gold is higher than the density of mercury, so gold would sink in mercury.
Can solid mercury float on liquid mercury?
Consequently the solid mercury is heavier than the liquid mercury and a piece of it when in solid state it will not float in its own liquid state. Mercury is a fascinating example of a metallic element that is liquid at room temperature.
Will an ice cube float in mercury?
Mercury is very dense, so the ice cube would make only a small dent in the mercury. But the fact that it is displacing even a little mercury means that the surface of the mercury is higher than it would have been before we dropped in the ice cube.
Will a ice cube float in mercury?
What will happen when mercury falls on gold?
Freddie Mercury may have had the golden voice, but real mercury, that endlessly entertaining and dangerous liquid metal, has the golden touch. That is, if it touches gold it will immediately break the lattice bonds of the precious metal and form an alloy in a process known as amalgamation.
What happens when mercury falls on skin?
Mercury Toxicity Direct contact with elemental (liquid) mercury can cause irritation and chemical burns. Possible immediate effects may include dizziness, vertigo, flu-like symptoms, burning or irritation, pale or clammy skin, irritability, and emotional instability.

Sunday Times Brain Teaser 777 – Feeler Gauges
by L Poulter
I have half-a-dozen feeler gauges on a ring like keys on a key ring. They are attached in a certain order and by selecting a single gauge or combinations of adjacent gauges it is possible to measure from 1 to 31 thousandths of an inch (thou) inclusive in steps of 1 thou. If I remove two adjacent gauges, replace them with a single gauge and rearrange the five on the ring I can now measure from 1 to 21 thou inclusive in steps of 1 thou with these five gauges by again selecting a single gauge or combinations of adjacent gauges.
What are the thicknesses of the gauges and the order of arrangement on the ring in each case? (start with gauge of unit thickness and then its thinner neighbour for the sets).

Purpose：This study was designed to identify the effects of carrying bag positions (None, left hand, right hand,left shoulder, right shoulder) on static balance.
Methods：Fourteen healthy adult females participated in the this study. The exclusion criteria were orthopedic or neurologic disease, predominant left side. Measurements were performed initial effects. Results were evaluated by OSI, APSI, and MLSI in the biodex stability system.
Results：There are among the three assessments (overall stability index(OSI), antero-posterior stability index (APSI), medio-lateral stability index(MLSI) significants difference for the carrying bags positions (None bag, left hand, right hand, left shoulder, right shoulder)(p<.05). The post-hoc test revealed a significant difference between none bag and both left hand and left shoulder in the OSI, APSI, MLSI (p<.05). Also, comparing the carrying positions significant difference between right hand and both left hand and left shoulder in the MLSI (p<.05).
Conclusion：The results suggest that none dominant side with carrying bag improve more imbalance than none bag and right hand of dominant with carrying bag improve more balance than non dominant side. When comparing the four carrying bag conditions, right hand was more effective than another conditions in static balance.

What you needCopper Jewelry wire
Approx 30 old buttons
Start by taking your length of wire around 1 yard and creating a knot or bend at one end (so your buttons don't slip off) then begin threading your buttons onto the wire by taking the wire through the button holes as if it was a needle and thread.
Keep doing this – adding each button as you go. Position the buttons flat by pushing and shaping the wire so that the buttons each sit flat.
Keep doing this until you reach your desired length. You can add a small jewelry clasp or simply create a necklace that will slip over the head by twisting the two ends of wire together.
This method is great for kids!


Queued Documents
When you print a letter, it goes to the Queued Documents. Letters can be printed from Mailing Lists, Letter Templates, and Communication Plans. The Queued Documents view shows you all the letters that are scheduled to be printed (Print Queue) and those that have already been printed (Recent Jobs). Here's how you'd handle printing a one-page letter that you're sending to a 50-person mailing list:
 1. You send the job to Queued Documents.
 2. You find the job in Queued Documents and decide to print the job from a PDF.
 3. A 50-page PDF containing the copies of the letter you're sending to each recipient is downloaded to your computer.
 4. You open up the PDF and print it from there.
 5. You then go to Recent Jobs, locate the job, and print envelopes for the letters you just printed.
Queued Documents
Here's where you'll find all pending print jobs.
 1. Filter the list to show jobs from certain people, certain templates, and/or certain layouts. For example, you could choose to show all jobs sent by you with the Acceptance Letter template using the Grad-Arts Acceptance Layout.
 2. Choose whether you want to print from a PDF or ODT. You can print each job one-at-a-time using the individual PDF or ODT links or, if all of the jobs have the same layout, print all the jobs at the same time (Print All Selected...).
 3. The print job disappears from the list as soon as you print it. Populi generates a single document that's downloaded to your computer that you can then print.
 - If you print a single job, then the document will only contain the pages from that job.
 - If you use a Print All Selected... button, the document will contain all the pages from all of the jobs shown in the filter. Remember, this only works if all of the jobs have the same layout!
Recent Jobs (printing envelopes and mailing labels)
In Recent Jobs, you can print envelopes and mailing labels as well as re-print previous jobs. The print jobs remain here for seven calendar days. Here's how to do those things:
 1. To re-print a job, click either the PDF or ODT link. This generates a document that's downloaded to your computer...
 2. To print envelopes or mailing labels, click under Print Envelopes.
 3. Select the layout and format you wish to use.
 4. Click Print when you're ready. This generates a file that's downloaded to your computer...

To improve the load-carrying capacity of steel structures there are mainly two methods of using cover-plate which are the preflex method and multi-stepwise thermal prestressing method. However a prestress applied to the top flange of H beam is less than the bottom flange because these two methods have small eccentricity. It is necessary to develop an advanced feature of prestressing method which efficiently increases load-carrying capacity and prestressing efficiency. Therefore this study proposes a cover-plate prestressing method with increased sectional stiffness and prestressing efficiency, called multi-stepwise thermal prestressing with steel brackets. To evaluate the prestressing efficiency and load-carrying capacity of the proposed method, prestressing application tests and static loading tests were conducted on three H beams. The multi-stepwise thermal prestressing method with the steel brackets had higher displacement induced to the H beam and higher tensile stress in the top flange than in a case without the steel brackets. Also, when prestress is applied, the tensile stress in the cover-plate significantly decreased with the installation of the steel brackets. The static loading tests showed that the installation of the brackets increased the stiffness, the yield load, and ultimate load of the structure, compared with an unreinforced girder, which meant higher load-carrying capacity than a conventional thermal prestressed structure without brackets.

In partnership with Rock Hill School District 3, Winthrop initiated the Piedmont Wetlands Project during the summer of 2004. The 1.1-acre area adjoins Winthrop Lake and offers research opportunity for students of all ages and a glimpse of the fast-disappearing Piedmont wetlands. A small island was incorporated to serve as a nesting ground for many area birds including the great blue heron, the little blue heron, the green heron, Canada geese, and song sparrows. Additionally, Winthrop biology faculty and students planted grass as well as 14 species of trees and 10 shrubs to help re-establish plant life typically found in Piedmont wetlands areas. The collaborative project not only provides study opportunity for area teachers and students but also improves the overall health of Winthrop Lake.

pps-gpio-poll is a Linux kernel module which provides a /dev/pps* device using a GPIO pin as the PPS source. With an NTP daemon like chrony or ntpd it can be used to accurately synchronize the system clock with a reference time source.
Unlike the pps-gpio module (which is included in the Linux tree) it doesn't use interrupts. It uses a high-resolution timer and waits for the GPIO value to change in a busy loop instead. This means the PPS samples are more accurate and have less jitter, but more CPU time is consumed. Another difference is that the number of the GPIO pin is a parameter of the kernel module instead of relying on Device Tree.

Understanding Shopify Theme Styles and Presets With settings_data.json
Shopify theme styles and presets with settings_data.json
Building custom presets for Shopify themes can be super useful, especially if your theme might be used by many merchants, and you want to curate their experience when using your theme.
You've most likely landed here because you've been looking to customize the theme settings of your Shopify theme, and stumbled upon two files in the config directory—settings_schema.json and settings_data.json. This article will look at the differences between settings_schema.json and settings_data.json. We'll deep dive into the various uses and nuances of the settings_data.json file.
What are theme settings?
Theme settings—also referred to as theme options—allow a merchant to customize the look and feel of their online store. Theme settings are predetermined by the theme developer who builds the theme. They are built and stored in the config directory inside the settings_schema.json file. Theme settings control the organization and content of the menu in the theme editor.
settings_schema.json vs. settings_data.json
The settings_schema.json file controls the organization and options available to a merchant in the theme editor. It's used to create and edit the theme settings available for a merchant within a theme. The theme settings follow the specified file format outlined by the Shopify documentation.
The settings_data.json file stores the theme settings data saved from the theme editor. It can also include 'theme styles', also known as presets. If presets are defined, it enables a merchant to choose a theme style which is predetermined by a theme developer. The theme style then sets specific values for the keys defined in the settings_schema.json file.
Digging into settings_data.json
So let's take a look at settings_data.json. When viewing the settings_data.json file found inside most free themes from the Shopify Theme Store, you'll notice it's broken up into a two different objects; current and presets.
Shopify theme styles and presets with settings_data.json - current object
As seen above, the current object contains data for the current theme settings. These are the values which are currently set in the theme editor. A theme only ever uses the data stored in current.
Theme styles aka presets
In the Debut theme, the presets object contains data for two different theme styles, Default and Light. These theme styles can be applied using the theme editor.
Because a theme only ever uses the data stored in current, any presets that are applied simply update the values in current to match those of the preset. It's important to note that there are some input values that won't update via theme style. These have to do with specific input types.
Overwriting presentational values with theme styles and preserving content
One really great thing about presets is that Shopify handles some of the logic involved when it comes to updating content.
Imagine you were a merchant, and you spent a bunch of time customizing the content of your website, like updating the logo of your site and changing the images on your homepage. Then you decide you don't like the Default theme and would rather go for the Light version. It would be a terrible experience if a merchant then had to input all of that content again, especially when all they wanted to change is which theme style is being used.
This is where preserving specific input types becomes important. Shopify only overwrites what it deems to be a presentational value with a theme style. Shopify does not overwrite content values with a theme style.
The existing input types include:
These are input types which are whitelisted, considered presentational, and are overwritten when applying a theme style via the theme editor:
The values of these input types will be overwritten by a defined preset, as the Shopify platform considers them presentational. As with anything, depending on how a theme is developed and how someone has built a theme's settings, this will dictate whether or not these items truly contain presentational values. However, most of these input types lend themselves to presentational elements such as a color or font, to show or hide an element, or choose a value in a range for layout displays.
How section data is stored in settings_data.json
When navigating the settings_data.json file, you'll quickly see that you can define a sections object in your presets and that it also appears inside current. This sections object will be generated for you if you have section files, which gives merchants the ability to add Shopify sections to their theme using the theme editor, without pre-defining which sections appear by default for current.
You'll also notice that dynamic sections can have pretty id names if pre-defined in your settings_data.json file initially. However, if you add them dynamically and have the file auto-generate a current object for you, then they'll have automatically generated id's.
Shopify theme styles and presets with settings_data.json - section order
These id's are then stored in a content_for_index array just below, which defines the order. This array inside current is updated anytime a user changes the order using the theme editor. You can also manually adjust the order by moving around these values in the array.
Managing multiple stores with a single theme using presets
I've seen some pretty clever uses of presets over my time working at Shopify. One example of this is using settings_data.json to manage a single custom theme used on multiple stores. The way this is set up is pretty straight forward—each preset defined in the settings_data.json file represents a specific store, all of which are using the same theme.
For example, a single company might have more than one online store because they have subsidiaries or branches that each have their own url and inventory; but the themes of the store are similar. For example, Greenhouse Inc. has three branches: Greenhouse Nurseries, Greenhouse Grocery, and Greenhouse Living. Each of the branches sells different types of products, and has different concerns, customers and URLs—but they all share a common theme.
In cases like this, the presets named in a theme can be for each company branch, for example greenhouse-nurseries, greenhouse-grocery, and greenhouse-living. Then a single theme can be used for all three stores, each with its own preset containing its own theme settings. This file and its theme are tracked by some kind of version control, and that single theme is used for every store. The current object is then mapped to the appropriate preset, which defines a list of settings—maybe a specific color swatch change, different Google Analytics tracking number, etc.
Because settings_schema.json doesn't ever overwrite presets, you can store any information you want in a preset, whether or not it maps directly to a theme setting found in settings_schema.json.
While we're on the subject of URLs, learn what a canonical URL is and why they're important.
Gotchas when tracking changes
One thing to keep in mind when editing or changing the settings_data.json is how you're keeping track of changes to it, and how that works within your existing workflow.
Because this file is updated by the theme editor, I often see that it is listed as untracked in version control; whether it's listed in a.gitignore file, as a file to ignore in a config.yml (Theme Kit), or an.env file (Slate). When it is untracked, the changes you make directly in the file can easily be overwritten by the theme editor, or vice versa, if the changes aren't pulled down from your store and committed/tracked before starting a new feature.
Start thinking about how you can use theme styles and presets
Building themes, especially dynamic ones, can be hard. But creating theme styles with presets for Shopify themes doesn't have to be. It's important to understand the differences between settings_schema.json and settings_data.json file and that theme styles are built using presets.
Be creative with how you use theme styles and presets in your next project; the possibilities are whatever you can imagine and build!

How do I use Person Code to limit access to a survey?
You can a limit who is able to respond to a survey by setting a person code within a survey. Person code is simply set by setting the variable p= on the URL of a survey. So an example survey URL might be like
You substitute you own value for [p_value], so the actual link might look something like this.
The actual value you use after the p= does not matter. You can use the p code to match survey responses to customer ids in other systems.
SurveyTown treats the "p" variable in a couple special ways.
- SurveyTown will store the value automatically with the survey response.
- If you check to limit taking of surveys by person code, SurveyTown will look to see if there is a response with that personcode already attached to that survey it will block the respondent from taking the survey again.
In sum, by adding a p= variable onto the end of your survey URLs you can match your survey responses to customers and limit the ability for customers to take a survey more than one time.

Through sea ports there can be two types of trade services that are processed, first is the export of goods and other is export services, If any of the above is conducted and some bill number is generated which is of 13 numbers, first 6 digits are sea port codes and remaining 7 digits are of bill number of that transaction.
What is the importance and functions of sea ports?
The main functions of seaports are:
1: To ensure safety for seagoing vessels coming in.
2: Operation in entering and leaving the seaport.

Moon Maid (comic)
Moon Maid
Publication information
Publisher Tribune Media Services
Created by Chester Gould
Moon Maid was a major character at one period in the Dick Tracy comic strip, then drawn by its creator, Chester Gould.
Gould, hoping to keep the strip evolving and changing with the times, slowly began changing the focus of the strip from a crime drama into one whose primary focus was science fiction. Tracy had always been equipped with the latest, most up-to-date police equipment, including forensic science, but with the introduction into the strip of eccentric industrialist Diet Smith as Tracy's friend in the 1940s, Tracy began to have the assistance of devices such as the two-way wrist radio, and later the two-way wrist TV.
The logical extension of this in Gould's mind was the introduction of space travel. Smith invented the magnetic-powered Space Coupe. With the use of this vehicle, Tracy and company landed on the moon in 1964, finding there an advanced race of humanoids whose high technology meshed remarkably well with that of Smith's. The Moon race looked like Caucasian humans except for having abnormally large eyes and giraffe-like horns on their foreheads.
 Fictional character biography
Moon Maid was the daughter of the Moon's supreme ruler, a male humanoid who was always identified as "the Governor of the Moon". It is not clear whether he was democratically elected, or some form of hereditary ruler. She served as a liaison between her race and the humans. She and her family became one of the strip's primary focuses for several years.
Moon Maid eventually married Junior, the now-adult adopted son of Dick Tracy. Her father the Governor resented this marriage. Eventually, Moon Maid became pregnant by Junior. Her father was anxious that the child be born on the Moon, so as to be legally a Moon denizen. An extremely contrived plot twist put the pregnant Moon Maid, Junior, Dick Tracy and the Governor all aboard a Space Coupe when Moon Maid gave birth at precisely the midpoint in space between Earth and the Moon.
The child, a girl, was named Honey Tracy and had slightly over-large eyes, and two prominent tufts of hair on her forehead in the position corresponding to Moon Maid's horns; we are never told what lies beneath those tufts. The daughter also demonstrated a magnetic ability to attract small metal objects to her hands; this talent never played an important role in the strip.
During this period, Dick Tracy himself had many adventures on the Moon, notably solving a murder case involving a man named Purdy Fallar who kept two of his fingernails extra-long, claiming they were for harvesting the meat of giant Escargot: a race of gigantic Moon snails, prized on Earth as delicacies. In reality he used his sharpened fingernails as throat-slashing weapons.
When the impending 1969 NASA moon landing threatened to make the preceding Moon stories look silly, Gould chose to return to the material that made the Dick Tracy strip famous—Earth-bound crime. The strip made one oblique reference to the Apollo 11 landing shortly after its completion, with Diet Smith commenting about some "equipment left behind" on the Moon (in a caption above a panel showing the abandoned Lunar Module).
 Later years
After Apollo 11, Moon Maid and Honey continued to remain on Earth, as wife and daughter of Junior; all references to their selenic origin were phased out, with Honey never demonstrating her magnetic talents, and Moon Maid identified solely as "Junior's wife". Both characters continued to appear sporadically, in greatly reduced roles. Soon after Rick Fletcher and Max Collins took over the strip in 1978, Moon Maid was murdered accidentally by a man named Little Littel who was trying to kill Tracy with a car bomb while trying to collect on a million dollar open contract on Tracy's head by elderly crime lord "Big Boy" Caprice. Little would later be killed himself in an explosion when Junior Tracy goes to his shop looking for revenge on his wife's murder.
Although Honey Tracy survived—now apparently retconned to be totally human—it was understood that this moment represented the termination of the strip's Moon years.

3 Ways Pessimism is an Asset in PR
Does pessimism have a place in PR?
Half empty or half full?
An article recently published over at the MIT Sloan Management Review blog caught my attention. Essentially, the article asserted that in a world where optimism reigns, a little pessimism is a good thing.
In our culture, pessimism is generally perceived as a state of mind where one anticipates negative outcomes. We often classify individuals as either optimistic or pessimistic based on the age old question, "Is the glass half empty or half full?" We tend to classify those who answer "half empty" as stewards of a pessimistic outlook, always focusing on the negative and what's likely to go wrong.
Despite the stigma that pessimism has, can it be interpreted as an undervalued asset and a valuable tool in PR? Continue reading

Revision Source
Revision Content
Most information from the Firefox history and bookmarks system ("Places") comes from executing queries on the history system (nsINavHistory.executeQuery/executeQueries). This will give you a nsINavHistoryResult object which will contain a tree structure of the results. The definitions of these structures is in {{template.Source("browser/components/places/public/nsINavHistoryService.idl")}}
Executing a query
There are two parts of a query: a list of one or more nsINavHistoryQuery objects, and an nsINavHistoryQueryOptions object. You first need to fill out these structures with the parameters you want. Use nsINavHistoryService.getNewQuery and nsINavHistoryService.getNewQueryOptions to retrieve empty objects. These objects typically have empty values for each possible field, so using them in their initial state will give you all of history in a flat list:
var historyService = Components.classes["_USER_-history-service;1"]
// get all history sorded by ascending visit date
var options = historyService.getNewQueryOptions();
options.sortingMode = options.SORT_BY_DATE_ASCENDING;
// no query parameters will return everything
var query = historyService.getNewQuery();
var result = historyService.executeQuery(query, options)
Result types
The query options structure nsINavHistoryQueryOptions has an attribute resultType for the type of the results that you want. It is important to understand the differences between these:
 - RESULTS_AS_URI: This is the default, and means that you get one result node of type RESULT_TYPE_URI for each URI that matches the query. The visit date for each node will be the last visit date for that URL. You will definitely want this when showing bookmark folders.
 - RESULTS_AS_VISIT: This means that you want one entry for each time a page was visited matching the given query. Therefore, you may get duplicate entries for URLs, each with a different date. The nodes will be of type RESULT_TYPE_VISIT which will give you access to a session ID for each visit. This session ID is the same for all pages that were reached by clicking links. A new session starts when the user types a new URL or follows a bookmark. It is used to compute the dividing lines in the places history view.
 - RESULTS_AS_FULL_VISIT: This is the same as visits but the results will be of type RESULT_TYPE_FULL_VISIT and will have additional information about the visit, such as the referring visit, and how the transition happened (typed, redirect, link, etc). This information is typically not needed and causes the result nodes (of which there may be many) to be larger, which is why it is a separate option.
The named constants are properties of nsINavHistoryQueryOptions, for example Components.interfaces.nsINavHistoryQueryOptions.RESULTS_AS_VISIT.
Query parameters
Note: The query object interface is subject to change. In its current form it is not very expressive. Implementing a better interface is {{template.Bug(317830)}}.
You can pass one or more nsINavHistoryQuery objects to nsINavHistoryService.executeQuery/executeQueries. Within one query object, all parameters are ANDed together. The conditions for different query objects are then ORed together. This allows for a simpler implementation and interface than a full logical operation with nested clauses while still being expressive.
Example of querying for any pages I've visited that contain the word "firefox" in the title/URL or that I've visited today from mozilla.org.
// first query object searches for "firefox" in title/URL
var query1 = historyService.getNewQuery();
query1.searchTerms = "firefox";
// second query object searches for visited in past 24 hours AND from mozilla.org
var query2 = historyService.getNewQuery();
query2.beginTimeReference = query2.TIME_RELATIVE_NOW;
query2.beginTime = -24 * 60 * 60 * _PHONE_; // 24 hours ago in microseconds
query2.endTimeReference = query2.TIME_RELATIVE_NOW;
query2.endTime = 0; // now
query2.domain = "mozilla.org";
var result = historyService.executeQueries([query1, query2], 2, options);
Note: Keyword searching doesn't work correctly across OR queries. The current behavior does the normal query and then selects keywords from the first query and filters all the results. (In other words, the keywords from the first query are ANDed with all queries.) Keywords from subsequent query objects are ignored. This is {{template.Bug(320332)}}.
Bookmark queries
The contents of bookmark folders can be retrieved by setting the "folders" member in the query object. This item is an array of folder IDs from the bookmark service. Typically, you will only have one folder ID in this list, which will given you the contents of that folder. You can set multiple folders and the result will be the intersection of all the folders.
Generally, you want to set the grouping mode in the options to GROUP_BY_FOLDER for bookmarks queries. This will result in a hierarchical structure containing the bookmark folder hierarchy rooted at where you requested.
Note: This doesn't actually have any effect in the current implementation. The query system always assumes GROUP_BY_FOLDER for bookmarks queries. See {{template.Bug(324579)}}.
For sorting, you will generally want to use SORT_BY_NONE (the default) since this will return items in their "natural" order as specified by the user in the bookmarks manager. Other sortings will work, however.
For bookmark queries you will generally want no query parameters to retrieve all items from the requested folder(s). When you specify exactly one folder, GROUP_BY_FOLDER, and no query parameters, the system will be more efficient querying and keeping the results up-to-date since this maps to exactly one bookmark folder.
var bookmarkSvc = Components.classes["_USER_-bookmarks-service;1"]
// |options| is an object created in the previous section
options.setFolders([bookmarkService.toolbarRoot], 1);
options.setGroupingMode([options.GROUP_BY_FOLDER], 1);
var result = historyService.executeQuery(query, options);
Serializing queries
Normally, query and options objects are represented in terms of objects. However, it is possible to serialize these objects using queriesToQueryString, and deserialize them using queryStringToQueries. The result will be a string starting with "place:" which you can store or bookmark. When a "place:" URI is bookmarked, it will expand to the results of the query when it is opened by the user.
You should never manually construct "place:" URI strings. The format is subject to change. If you need one, create the proper objects and call the history service to serialize it for you.
Be careful, queryStringToQueries may not return any query objects if the string was empty. Your code should handle this case. There will always be an options structure returned. If no options were specified, it will have the default values. If there were no query parameters specified but the input string was not empty (there were options) you may get one query object returned, containing the default query values.
Example of serializing and deserializing two queries and an options object:
var queryString = historyService.queriesToQueryStrings([query1, query2], 2, options);
var queriesRef = { };
var queryCountRef = { };
var optionsRef = { };
historyService.queryStringToQueries(queryString, queriesRef, queryCountRef, optionsRef);
// now use queriesRef.value, optionsRef.value
Using the results
Note: Be careful when accessing nodes and do not keep references to them around. Notifications sent to the result from the history and bookmarks system, as well as commands executed by the programmer such as sorting may cause the structure to change and nodes may be inserted, removed, or replaced.
The nsINavHistoryResult object returned by executeQuery/executeQueries contains the list of matches to the given history or bookmarks query. These results are contained in a tree structure made up of nodes. A node's type can be retrieved using its type attribute. This type tells you what interface you can QueryInterface the node to in order to get at more detailed information:
 - nsINavHistoryResultNode: Base class for all nodes. Contains URI, title, and other general info.
 - nsINavHistoryVisitResultNode: Derived from nsINavHistoryResultNode, contains session information.
 - nsINavHistoryFullVisitResultNode: Derived from nsINavHistoryVisitResultNode, contains information about how the user navigated to this page. Note: currently unimplemented, see {{template.Bug(320831)}}.
 - nsINavHistoryContainerResultNode: General container node giving access to its children. Derived from nsINavHistoryResultNode.
 - nsINavHistoryQueryResultNode: A type of container representing a query of the history system. It allows you to get the query options and parameters.
 - nsINavHistoryFolderResultNode: Derived from nsINavHistoryQueryResultNode, this represents a special type of query mapping to the exact contents of one bookmarks folder. It gives easy access to its folder ID, and also updates itself more efficiently than a general query.

Are there really glaciers in Colorado?
Colorado proclaims 14 named glaciers—and more than 100 unnamed—within state borders, but all of them seem rather, well, frozen in place. Aren't glaciers supposed to move? As in, are these "glaciers" actually glaciers? The answer is yes—with an asterisk. Our state is home to 141 masses of ice whose size and weight cause them to flow like a very slow river—the definition of glacierhood per the National Snow & Ice Data Center. But according to W.T. Pfeffer, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, one of our most famous glaciers isn't quite worthy of its name: Saint Mary's Glacier, while impressive, is "just a gully that traps snow in a big drift." Take that to your next pub trivia night.

Fruit Carving Exhibit
Many believe that fruit carving originated in China during the Tang Dynasty, which lasted from AD 618-906. Fruit carving in China usually features legendary creatures and animals and is used to tell stories. Not only is fruit carving used in cultural and traditional ceremonies, but also ordinary households are known for decorating plates with fruit carvings when they have guests over.
Artist Shirley Chiu is a self-taught creative carving artist, and her work has accumulated to over 200 distinct art pieces, including fruit carving, vegetable carving and soap carving. She has been invited to present her artwork at various social and community events throughout the Phoenix area.


DNI Advice
The Spanish NIE has provided quite a lot of unpleasant last minute surprises, since is compulsory to show it on any important act made in Spain.
You will find here the most frequently asked questions, so you save yourself a few problems:
What is a NIE?
An NIE Number is a tax identification number to be used in Spain. Prior to purchasing a property, selling a property, obtaining a mortgage, starting up a business or working in Spain, it is a requirement by law that every individual possess an NIE Number. The application process is laborious and time consuming, and without the use of a service such as ours, would require normally two trips to Spain, and over 10 hours of waiting in queues, along with the filling out of complex application forms.
The actual NIE Number, when produced from a National Police Station in Spain is printed out on a piece of paper, and this sheet of paper is often used as a form of identity. Once you have been issued an NIE number, it is yours for life.
Everywhere on the internet it says that you have to apply in person for your NIE Number? Is this true?
Yes, this is certainly the case. Without question the Spanish law states very clearly that the person must apply for the documents in person. However, the Spanish law also clearly states that a legalised, Spanish power-of-attorney document enables any individual to be represented by another for all legal purposes in Spain (as long as it is declared as such within the power-of-attorney). Therefore through virtue of these combined laws, we are able to apply for a NIE number on your behalf without the need for you to be in Spain.
You should also note that, regardless of the clearly stated laws, many local branches of the national police throughout Spain choose not to allow this, which is why some lawyers are unable to act on your behalf for this purpose.
How long does the procedure take?
Once we have received your documents (POA and copies of passports – both legalised) the NIE number is obtained within 10 business days (which equates to normally 2 weeks, exceptions made for public and bank holidays).
Prior to sending the documents to us, they must be notarised (by a Notary Public in your area) and then stamped with the Hague Apostille.
Do I need to send photos for my NIE number card?
No you do not need to send photos to apply for the NIE number.
The NIE number is in fact not a card at all. Rather it is a sheet of A4 paper bearing your details (as outlined on your passport) as well as an official stamp from the National Police of Spain. This original document is an extremely important item of identification in Spain, even though it does not include any photo. Your passport and/or eventually your residence card used in conjunction with your NIE number is generally sufficient for most functions to do with government & taxation in Spain(such as purchasing a property in Spain, paying taxes, selling a property in Spain, etc.).
What happens if I have lost my NIE Number?
Applying for a duplicate NIE number is the same process as applying for the first time. One thing to watch out for however, albeit most of the time this goes without saying, is that the same details are put on the second application form as the first because if not, they police will have problems in issuing the same number if they cannot prove 100% that it is the same person.
I am an EU Citizen, what documentation do you need from me?
As an EU citizen, in order to obtain an NIE Number on your behalf, we will require only a notarised, legalised power of attorney document and a notarised, legalised copy of your passport. There is nothing further required.
I am an NON-EU Citizen, what documentation do you need from me?
As a non-EU citizen, in order to obtain an NIE Number on your behalf, we will require a notarised, legalised power of attorney document, a notarised, legalised copy of your full passport, a full copy of your passport (all pages – email or fax is fine for this purpose), documented evidence (or proof of) why you require an NIE Number. In the case of a property purchase, a private purchase contract, a letter from a mortgage company, or similar type of document will suffice.
I've been told I can apply for my NIE card through the Spanish consulate. Is this true? If yes, what benefits does your service offer over applying through a Spanish consulate?
Yes, this is entirely true. The primary benefit of using our service as opposed to applying through a Spanish consulate is speed. The average time required for an individual to obtain their NIE number via applying through a Spanish consulate is 16 weeks. This varies from one country to the next, we encourage people to contact their closest Spanish consulate first and enquire about their turnaround time.
Can I get a temporary NIE number at the consulate to sign the deeds of my property?
This is not possible. The NIE that you are issued initially is the same NIE for the rest of your life. Even if you lose the document and apply for a new one, the same number will be issued to you again. Therefore there is no such thing as a temporary NIE.
If you need the NIE for signing title deeds in Spain, as soon as we have submitted the application, we can send a stamped copy to the sellers, mortgage broker, lawyer or whomever is demanding the NIE as proof that the NIE is on the way. This usually pacifies the situation until the document is issued.

It is essential that the MPD be prepared to maximize resources and capabilities, to ensure that critical tasks are undertaken efficiently and effectively when a major threat to public safety exists.
The MPD Emergency Response Plan is the standard used to set an appropriate threat Response Level. A response level is required during threat conditions, such as terrorist activity, civil disturbance, natural catastrophe, severe weather or other emergencies that affect the safety and security of the visitors to and residents of the District of Columbia.
The MPD Response Level is designed to provide for the staffing, assignment, and deployment of MPDC members while coordinating activities with DC agencies, neighboring jurisdictions and federal agencies. It is determined by the Chief of Police or his/her designee and is based on present and known threats.
There are five color-coded threat designation levels and they are defined as follows:
Response Level RED
A major threat to public safety has occurred
Response Level ORANGE
Information/Intelligence indicating that a major threat to public safety is imminent
Response Level YELLOW
A significant possibility of a major threat to public safety
Response Level BLUE
A general risk to public safety with no credible threats to specific targets
Response Level GREEN
No credible risk of a threat to public safety, routine security is implemented, normal departmental activities continue

Definition of Dendrite
Dendrite: A short arm-like protuberance from a nerve cell (a neuron). Dendrites from neurons next to one another are tipped by synapses (tiny transmitters and receivers for chemical messages between the cells).
The word "dendrite" means "branched like a tree." It comes from the Greek "dendron" (tree).
See also neuron and axon.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

An invisible wall of force appears at a point you specify within casting distance. The direction of this wall of force is up to you: you can make the wall horizontally or vertically bounded, or you can make it incline at an angle. It can float in the air or stand on the ground.
Wall of Force 5e
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
It can be shaped as a hemisphere or a sphere (with a radius of up to 10 feet), or as a plane of ten 10 ft x 10 ft square plates, each of which must be connected to at least one other plate.
Regardless of the shape, the force field wall is always ¼ inch thick. The force field wall will persist until the spell ends. If the force wall forms through a space occupied by a creature, that creature is pushed to one side of the force wall (it is up to you to decide which side to push to).
Nothing can physically pass through a wall of force. A Wall of Force is immune to all damage and cannot be undone by dispel magic, but the spell disintegrate can cause it to be destroyed immediately. Walls of force can extend into the Etheric plane, and thus can block travel into the Etheric plane through walls.

ROMAN FOREST, TX
ROMAN FOREST, TEXAS. Roman Forest is located east of U. S. Highway 59 and near the East Fork of the San Jacinto River about thirty-two miles northeast of Houston and twenty-three miles southeast of Conroe in southeastern Montgomery County. The community began as a residential subdivision that developers named for the area's wooded terrain. By the mid-1970s residents voted to incorporate and established a city government. In 1980 Roman Forest had a population of 929. That number increased to 1,033 in 1990 and 1,279 in 2000. Roman Forest has its own police force, elementary school, and churches. Most citizens commute to Houston.

Detect and Fix Task Overruns on Arduino Hardware
You can configure a Simulink® model running on the target hardware to detect and notify you when a task overrun occurs. A task overrun occurs if the target hardware is still performing one instance of a task when the next instance of that task is scheduled to begin. You can fix overruns by decreasing the frequency with which tasks are scheduled to run, and/or by reducing the number of tasks defined by your model.
To enable overrun detection:
 1. Click the Tools menu in the model, and select Run on Target Hardware > Options.
 2. In the Hardware Implementation pane that opens, select the Overrun detection > Enable overrun detection check box.
 3. Use the Digital output to set on overrun parameter to specify the pin number of a digital output.
 4. Click OK.
To create a visual overrun indicator for your board, connect an appropriate resistor in series with an LED between the GND and the hardware pin specified by the Digital output to set on overrun parameter. Orient the LED so the longer leg (positive) is connected to the digital output pin.
When a task overrun occurs:
 - The state of the digital output pin specified by the Digital output to set on overrun parameter changes from low (0 Volts) to high (5 Volts).
 - The model continues running, but the effective sample time will be longer than specified.
To fix an overrun condition, reduce the processing burden of the model by applying one or more of the following solutions:
 - Increase the sample times for the model. For example, increase the values of the Sample time parameters in all of your data source blocks.
 - Simplify the model.
If you are using External mode, and the preceding solutions do not fix the task overrun condition, consider disabling External mode. External mode adds a lightweight server to the model running on the target hardware. This server increases the processing burden upon the target hardware, which can contribute to a task overrun condition.

Checking WAEC result is been laid down into several ways, perhaps to Check WAEC Result without Scratch Card is one of it. That is why on this page you will learn it. Beside this processes where laid down by the West African Examinations Council, so it's not a trick to check WAEC Result without Scratch Card.
There are ONLY 2 methods to check waec result, whereby Pins are are even required. Meaning that you will still need the Scratch Card.
Why You Need The Waec result Scratch Card
- It savers as a protection to your result in the WAEC database
- Using the Scratch Card help control how user access the Result checking Portal
- Its a way of making money for the organization (WAEC Office)
Here are Ways to checking Result, NOT to Check WAEC Result without Scratch Card
I assume you all are mistaking the SMS method of checking WAEC result as a way to Check WAEC Result without Scratch Card. Well if that is what you are thinking, then its wrong because checking your result via SMS also needs PIN Number of the Scratch Card (although no serial number is required)
- Send SMS in the format below:
To short-code 32327 (MTN, Celtel & Glo subscribers)
- For example -:
Ensure you adhere strictly to the format above. There should be no space in the message.
- Wait for your result to be delivered to your phone via SMS. (SMS Cost N30 Only)
But Checking WAEC Results Online – You use this method
You can either use mobile phone or PC to do this, as long as its connected to the internet.
- Logon to _URL_
- Enter your 10-digit WAEC Examination Number.
(This is your 7-Digit centre number followed by your 3-digit candidate number eg. _PHONE_)
- Enter the 4 digits of your Examination Year eg. 2002
- Select the Type of Examination
- Enter the Card Serial Number found on the reverse side of your Scratch card.
- Enter the Personal Identification Number (PIN) on your Scratch card
- Click Submit and wait for the results window to come up
However, there are things you should know about which never exist, that is;
- to check waec result without examination number
- to check waec result without scratch card pin or serial number
- to check results without spending money or credit
This is because you MOST need the follow to successfully check your waec result online or SMS;
- Examination Number – Your Exam number make you look unique from others, that is why no one can have same exam number (only by error).
- Examination Year – You providing the year you wrote exam will enable the database to locate your results and other vital information about you.
- Type of Examination – WAEC conducts different types of exam, like GCE, SSEC, etc. That is why providing the type of exam you had participated also help getting your data from the WAEC portal.

Here is the final logo design and identity package for Goshen Education Consulting. The logo mark is made out of overlapping books which form a star and a flower. The star represents guidance and enlightenment, and the flower represents growth.
Below are the other two logo design options we provided. In our discovery stage, the owner mentioned he had used the lighthouse as a symbol in the past and wanted to explore that option, so we came up with the logo on the left, which is a lighthouse combined with a Greek column. The column represents the educational industry, and the lighthouse represents the company and how it "guides" educational institutions to "enlightenment" through consulting. The logo design option on the right is simply a book with a bookmark, that when combined, forms the letter "G" for Goshen.

MLOC Data Files
This section discusses the details of the data files that support mloc. It also provides download links for all data files that are required in any installation of mloc, and also for some optional files that may be useful. This section follows the recommended directory structure for an mloc installation. All data files reside in subdirectories of the tables directory in the mloc working directory.
The only function of this directory is to hold custom crustal velocity models, but you also have the option of storing them in the cluster directory itself. The only difference is the pathname of the crustal model file assigned with the lmod command in the command file. My convention is to give crustal models the filename suffix ".cr" but you can name them any way you like.
My strategy is to keep most custom crustal models with the individual clusters (same directory as the event data files) because that is the only place they will be used. I reserve the tables/crust directory for crustal models that may be used across many clusters. It is nearly mandatory to develop a custom crustal model for any cluster that is undergoing a calibrated relocation, but it's usually not possible to place strong constraints on a crustal model for an uncalibrated relocation study, so a reasonable regional or global model may be used. In particular I store a model (ak135.cr) of the crust and upper mantle from the 1-D global model ak135 (Engdahl et al., 1998) in this directory. This is normally the starting model for a new cluster, from which a cluster-specific model is developed through trial and error. Specifically, I make a copy of ak135.cr, rename it for the intended cluster and move it to the cluster directory.
The file simple.cr provided below is an example of the simplest possible crustal model (one layer crust of constant velocity over a pseudo-halfspace upper mantle) which, nevertheless, would provide a good fit to many datasets after adjusting the velocities and crustal thickness.
The details of the file format for crustal models and many aspects of working with crustal velocity models are discussed in the Crustal Models section.
- simple.cr: a simple crustal model file (<1 KB, view or download)
- ak135.cr: crustal model file for ak135 (<1 KB, view or download)
Corrections to theoretical travel times for the ellipticity of the Earth are a standard part of traditional earthquake location programs because the location is usually based mainly on the fit of (corrected) theoretical travel times to observed regional and teleseismic phases. The corrections are usually on the order of a tenth of a second. For a calibrated location in mloc, however, these corrections are irrelevant since only the relative times of regional and teleseismic phases are being used to determine the absolute location of the cluster (i.e., the hypocentroid). Nevertheless, ellipticity corrections are made in mloc with the same algorithm used in Bob Engdahl's single event code (i.e., the EHB catalog), based on the Dziewonski and Gilbert (1976) representation with further work by Brian Kennett and Wim Spakman.
Ellipticity corrections are based on a single data file:
- tau.table.zip (52 KB, download)
The map plots (e.g., the base plot) produced by mloc can display faults (command fmap). The data files follow the format for GMT, with coordinates given in the order longitude, latitude. They can be stored in this directory or in the cluster directory itself. Data files that cover a large region are probably best stored here. The example is a file of major faults in Turkey.
- turkey_faults.dat.zip (19 KB, download)
Two types of data are stored in this directory (in sub-directories) for use in plotting: color palettes and digital elevation models (DEMs). These are only used for the map-like plots, e.g., the base plot.
The default color palette for showing topographic data in mloc plots is topo.cpt. It works well in most circumstances, but there are many others and GMT documentation includes detailed instructions about designing your own.
- topo.cpt.zip (1 KB, download)
The map plots in mloc do not display topographic information by default, but it is usually quite helpful in establishing a geographic or seismotectonic context for a calibrated cluster. Display of topographic information is controlled by the command dem1, which also selects between two digital elevation models, depending on the argument to the command:
- etopo1 = ETOPO1 1 arc-minute gridded topography and bathymetry. The data file that should be stored for mloc is ETOPO1_Bed_g_gmt4.grd.gz. The compressed file is 383 MB and it will unzip to 933 MB.
- globe = GLOBE 0.5 arc-minute (~1 km) gridded topography. There are 16 tiles covering the earth that can be downloaded from the website. If you are working in a particular area you only need the corresponding tile. Each tile is ~60 MB zipped and unzips to 270 MB.
mloc presently supports a third global DEM called GINA (30 arc-second topography and 2 arc-minute bathymetry), however the GINA DEM has been removed from distribution and the gina option for the command dem1 will probably be removed in an upcoming version.
The files for each DEM should be put in an appropriately-named sub-directory of /tables/gmt/dem, ETOPO for ETOPO1 and GLOBE for the GLOBE tiles. If you will use only one DEM, it should probably be ETOPO1, since it is a single file covering the entire Earth and includes bathymetry. The GLOBE model is very good for land areas but if your map crosses a tile boundary mloc falls back to using ETOPO1.
In addition to the ETOPO and GLOBE sub-directories to /tables/gmt/dem (which are required for those DEMS), you may wish to create a sub-directory to hold high-resolution DEMs for specific clusters. These are referenced by the command dem2 but the argument to this command is the pathname of the file relative to the mloc working directory so you could just as well store it in the cluster directory. If you choose to store them under tables/gmt/dem a name like "custom" or "hi-rez" would be appropriate. The creation of these high-resolution DEMs is covered elsewhere.
The ~.kml file that is a standard output file of mloc uses icons in five colors for earthquakes at different depths. The icons are in PNG format and must be stored in this directory.
- kml.zip (62 KB, download)
One of the more important aspects of using mloc is the use of empirical reading errors, estimated for each station-phase pair from the actual data. For the first run (at least), when those estimates are not yet available, mloc uses a set of phase-specific default reading errors, read from a file named psdre.dat in this directory:
- psdre.dat (143 bytes, download)
Current values in this file are listed in the table:
|Phase||Reading Error (s)|
The user can edit this file to change the default values or to add or remove phases.
This directory holds several data files related to seismograph stations, especially the geographic coordinates and elevation for a given station code. The most important file here is the master station file (master_stn.dat), which is meant to carry information only on stations in the International Registry of Seismograph Stations (IR) at the ISC. The reason for this policy will become clear(er) when the user encounters the full suite of problems related to station codes and the strategy used in mloc to manage conflicts. In some cases the precise coordinates (especially elevation) of a station from the IR are over-ridden by more trusted information from other sources, but non-IR-registered stations should be handled with supplemental station files (command sstn), not entered into the master station file.
The other two data files in this directory are related to specific commands:
- bdps.dat: a list of seismic stations that are suspected of reporting bogus depth phase readings. Specifically, it is suspected that station operators take focal depths from preliminary locations by agencies such as the NEIC, and report depth phase arrivals taken from theoretical travel time calculations. The command bdps takes the pathname of the file relative to the mloc working directory so it does not have to be stored here, but this is the natural place for it.
- neic_stn.dat: This file is used by the command nsmd which causes a search to be made for station codes that were not found in the master station file. It is only needed (possibly) if an arrival time dataset includes data obtained from the NEIC. Many stations of the U.S. regional networks that report to the NEIC use codes that conflict with stations registered in the IR, and for that matter, with each other. NEIC solves this problem by carrying FDSN network codes along with station codes (and a lot more) in their metadata server and location software. This data file is a recent download of the entire contents of the metadata server, so a search for a given station code may well return multiple hits from different networks. The strategy used in mloc to manage these issues is discussed elsewhere.
- master_stn.dat.zip (635 KB, download)
- bdps.dat.zip (2 KB, download)
- neic_stn.dat.zip (2.1 MB, download)
Supplemental station files (command sstn) may be stored here also, especially


NAME Test::Deep::DateTime::RFC3339 - Test RFC3339 timestamps are within a certain tolerance SYNOPSIS use Test::Deep; use Test::Deep::DateTime::RFC3339; my $now = DateTime->now; my $record = create_record(...); cmp_deeply $record, { created => datetime_rfc3339($now, '5s') }, 'Created is within 5 seconds of current time'; DESCRIPTION Test::Deep::DateTime::RFC3339 provides a single function, "datetime_rfc3339", which is used with Test::Deep to check that the string value gotten is an RFC3339-compliant timestamp. It can also check if the timestamp is equal to, or within optional tolerances of, an expected timestamp. RFC3339 was chosen because it is a sane subset of ISO8601's kitchen-sink. FUNCTIONS datetime_rfc3339 Without arguments, the value is only checked to be a parseable RFC3339 timestamp. Otherwise, this function takes a DateTime object or an RFC3339 timestamp string parseable by DateTime::Format::RFC3339 as the required first argument and a DateTime::Duration object or a DateTime::Format::Duration::DurationString-style string (e.g. "5s", "1h 5m", "2d") representing a duration as an optional second argument. The second argument is used as a ± tolerance centered on the expected datetime. If a tolerance is provided, the timestamp being tested must fall within the closed interval for the test to pass. Otherwise, the timestamp being tested must match the expected datetime. All comparisons and date math are done in UTC, as advised by "How-DateTime-Math-Works" in DateTime. If this causes problems for you, please tell me about it via bug-Test-Deep-DateTime-RFC3339 *at* Returns a Test::Deep::DateTime::RFC3339 object, which is a Test::Deep::Cmp, but you shouldn't need to care about those internals. You can, however, reuse the returned object if desired. Exported by default. BUGS Please report bugs via email to "" or via the web on.

What is a squirrel midden?
Basically, a squirrel's favorite spot to eat. The squirrel midden is the mess of leftovers squirrels leave after eating.
Squirrel Midden or their Picnic Table
One favorite food of the red squirrel is the spruce cone. Sitting on their favorite branch, stump, or wherever, they pull the outside bits of the cone off, letting them fall to the ground below, and eat the seeds inside. The piles of left over spruce cone bits below are often easily found around a spruce forest floor. They can get pretty big, some reported as large as garages.
Squirrels also hide or store their food for the winter. They do not always remember where they have hidden some of the spruce cones. Often you will see holes around the midden where they may or may not have had a successful search. Some of the forgotten ones may grow into spruce trees.
Why store food? Red squirrels do not hibernate, they remain active through out the winter. The extra caches of food can come in handy when supplies are low during the cold months.

European Personal Watercraft Championship in Crikvenica
Jet Ski is the brand name of a personal watercraft manufactured by Kawasaki.[1] It was the "first commercially successful" personal watercraft in America, having been released in 1972.[1] The term is sometimes used to refer to any type of personal watercraft.
Common noun[edit]
Though the proper noun "Jet Ski" is a registered trademark of Kawasaki, the common noun "jet ski" refers to small recreational watercraft.[2] The Oxford English Dictionary records the term in use in 1961 to describe the aquatic motorbike, and in 1948 to designate a jet-propelled aircraft equipped with skis.[3]

NuGet Package NServiceBus (7.2 - 7.3)
Child containers are a snapshot of the main container providing an additional instance lifetime scope.
Child container scope in NServiceBus
NServiceBus creates a child container for each transport message that is received. During message processing, all InstancePerUnitOfWork scoped instances that are created are resolved as singletons within the context of the same message. This is helpful to support the sharing of database sessions and other resources with lifetimes specific to the processed message.
Objects can be configured in a child container scope using the InstancePerUnitOfWork lifetime:

Deterministic disposal
Child containers automatically dispose all IDisposable instances created with InstancePerUnitOfWork lifetime once the message is processed. This is useful for managing things like database sessions which must be disposed of properly.

|The time it takes to build a home depends on many variables such as square footage, design, time of year, etc. A standard home can take between six months to a year to complete. Weather can heavily influence the speed in which construction proceeds. A very wet summer, for example, can keep your builder from pouring the foundation, which can hold up the process for months. On the other hand, once the foundation is poured and the roof installed, construction is no longer influenced by the weather.
On the other hand, completing the interior of the home is a slower process due to the interdependence of sub-contractors, such as electrical, plumbing, heating, etc. to be able to complete their portion of the work. The exterior of the home can typically move forward much faster than finishing the interior of the home.


How To Breakdown Stuck Tractor Tire?
How do you break down a tractor tire?
Use a sledgehammer or crowbar to break the bead of the tire. If you have a large tractor tire, use a sledgehammer to strike the tire just above the edge of the rim where they connect to break the bead. Continue hitting the tire around the entire circumference of the rim to break the seal completely.
How do you break a stubborn tire bead?
Basically what you do is just leave a a couple psi of air in the tires, and lay the wheel on its side, and step on the tire with your foot. It is a tight fit, but use your body weight to break the bead. This works, done it several times.
How much does it cost to change a tractor tire?
Can I cut a tire off a rim?
The tire is held to the rim by an area called the bead. The sidewall in between the bead and tread surface is relatively weak on steel belted radial tires. You can cut though it with a the drywall knife pictured. You will however need a saw blade or cutoff wheel for the bead wires.
