Pour Cost: What It Means and Why It's So Important to Bar Profits
What does the term pour cost mean? In this article we'll define the meaning of pour cost and discuss why it's one of the keys to profitability for every bar.
One of the most shocking conversations I have with bar managers is their lack of understanding the meaning of the term pour cost. Worse yet, they've been selected to manage someone else's hard-earned money. This edition of the Design Buzz defines pour cost, how it's calculated, and why this and accurate inventory methods are the keys to bar profitability
Pour cost is a term developed by the hospitality industry and is defined as the amount of alcohol to make a drink to its selling price, and is expressed as a percentage. In reality, this is what's known as ideal pour cost percentage. Many bar owners and managers who are cognizant of the term pour cost, but don't understand its true meaning, often fall into the trap of using percentages they've heard or read. It's not uncommon to hear people say that their pour cost is 30%, without having a clue how it's really calculated. Often times, people simply think that that is the industry standard and they want to be like everyone else! The reality is there is another term that is even more important – actual pour cost, which I'll discuss below. The reason all of this is so important is because it enables you to monitor your true profitability. For now, first things first: let's understand the basics of pour cost.
How to Use Pour Cost to Calculate the Selling Price of Drinks
The way to calculate your ideal pour cost percentage for pricing drinks is a two-step process:
1. Take the number of shots you get out of a bottle and divide that quantity into the cost of the bottle to develop your unit cost.
2. Divide the unit cost by your desired selling price; this is your ideal pour cost.
3. Next you need to decide if you are tracking your ideal pour cost with or without sales tax. You should calculate it without sales tax as you can't keep that money.
A more direct and useful method is to divide the unit cost by the desired percentage; this will tell you your selling price for any given drink. Here's a useful example:
If you get 27 shots out of a bottle (a pour size of 1.25 oz) and the bottle cost is $7.50, then your unit cost per shot is 27.7 cents. If you want a "well" pour cost of 8%, then divide 27.7 by 8%, the desired drink price is $3.46. To develop the actual selling price (with sales tax), simply multiply this result by your state's sales tax. If your state sales tax is 10%, then multiply your desired drink price ($3.46) by 1.10, you arrive at a selling price to the customer of $3.81, which you may wish to round up to $4.00.
As you know, in the bar business we have different value groups and different pricing for each, so it's impossible to make consistent profit margins across the board. Simply stated, the art of upselling is where the greatest profit margins lie in the bar business; I discuss this is greater detail in a previous post in Design Buzz, which you can reference below. According to my good friend and industry expert, Chuck Deibel, among his hundreds of bar clients the ideal pour cost percentages for the various alcohol groups are as follows:
· Well liquor is around 10% or less.
· Call liquor will fetch in the 12% to 18% range.
· Top shelf will be in the high teens to mid 20's and Premium will be in the low-to-high 30's.
Chuck further states, "Depending on product mix and pricing, I see bottle beer anywhere from the mid 20's to mid 30's. Draft beer ranges from the high teens to the high 20's."

What Bar Owners Need to Know About Liquor Inventory Control
So far we've discussed the concept of ideal pour cost, and I also alluded to the term known as actual pour cost. Are you aware that over 85% of bar owners are losing 20% of their profits? Folks, this is NOT an infomercial! I know this sounds crazy, but this is a very well documented fact. Chuck Deibel, a CPA having performed thousands of inventory audits over 20 years, stated this in a 2014 State of Ohio Sales Tax Audit, which you can download below. The reason inventory loss runs rampant and undetected is due primarily to two factors:
· Extreme high profit margins cloud the owner's perception.
· The complexity of product mix and product pricing.
To illustrate the latter point, just think about the following:
· The various levels of pricing (well, call, top-shelf, premium, etc.).
· Also consider that you might be selling the same drink at different prices, such as Happy Hour and Daily Specials.
· You serve batch drinks in the form of margaritas, long island ice tea, etc.
Given all of the above, now consider attempting to calculate how much money you should make at the end of one shift. Oh, and by the way, how about those free drinks your bartenders are giving away (to increase their tips) and the over-pouring and other wasteful habits! Can you now tell me how much you should have made last night alone? You see, as a bar owner you are living in a parallel universe:
Not only are many bar professionals unaware of their ideal pour cost, most don't know their actual pour cost – the one that takes all of the above factors into account. There is a difference between ideal pour cost and actual pour cost, and the difference between the two results in the amount of your lost sales and inventory.
According to Deibel, "Many bar operators don't calculate their ideal cost for pricing and most, if not all, don't recalculate it on an ongoing basis. Not doing so can cost you thousands of dollars."

Why BevInco Inventory Control Can Help Bar Owners Improve Profitability
So just why is knowing your actual pour cost so important? For one, the odds are that you're amongPhoto of Typical BevInco Audit Report the more than 85% of all bar owners who is losing 20% of their inventory. Worse yet, the stability of your business could become impaled if you are ever audited by your state liquor authority. Although the state allows for shrinkage (according to the above-mentioned state tax audit), it's far less than the amount you are probably losing. The state expect its tax based on the amount of shrinkage they allow, and unless you're up-to-date of your actual pour cost (and tightening your inventory controls), an audit fine of $98,000 is not uncommon, as stated in a previous blog post, referenced below.
There is a routine method of calculating your actual pour cost, and that is a unique service offered by noted industry expert BevInco. BevInco, which operates an international network of factory-trained local dealers, innovated a systematic methodology of helping bar owners calculate their actual pour cost and shrinkage. The mystery of knowing everything about your inventory, shrinkage – and ultimately your actual pour cost – can, in fact, be unraveled. Your local BevInco dealer performs an on-premise inventory service by systematically entering all of your drink and batch recipes into their proprietary software and also weighing all open bottles, batches and kegs. The result computed by the software is the actual pour cost. There is no other way to compute actual pour cost. With BevInco, you get meaningful pour cost information; a sample report (shown above) can be downloaded below. BevInco clients frequently reduce their shrinkage from 20% to 2-3% within the first four months!
As you can see, unless you know exactly what you've sold there is no way of knowing your actual pour cost, and certainly no way of knowing the habits of your bar staff. It's critical to the success of your bar to get in control of your pour cost and inventory.

Abandoned lighthouse on Great Isaac Cay
Great Isaac Cay is a small Bahamian island located about 20 miles NNE of the Bimini Islands. It is accessible only by boat. And it is so small that it's not visible on google map or google earth. The most prominent feature of the island is its lighthouse, which was erected in 1859.
In the late 19th century local lore tells of a ship wreck on the island with one survivor, an infant. The child's distraught mother, known as the Grey Lady, is said to haunt the island to this very day, wailing in sorrow during the full moon.
On August 4, 1969, the station was discovered to have been abandoned by its two keepers, who were never found. The keepers' house, cistern, and assorted buildings are crumbling into ruins. The Lighthouse looks abandoned but is actually still in use, fully automated.
It is also claimed to be haunted!


if there were more than four or five instances of container loss in the whole Western Hemisphere in any given year.
Containers vary in size, shape and integrity. Gary North of Matson puts the value of a dry box at $4,000 to $5,000, while refrigerated containers could cost as much as $30,000. A typical container might carry material valued at $50,000 to $1 million or even more, depending on type of cargo. While most containers are airtight, some have vent holes or similar openings.

United States Merchant Marine
The United States Merchant Marine refers to either United States civilian mariners or to a fleet of U.S. civilian and federally owned merchant vessels. These fleets are managed by either the government or private sector, and engage in commerce or transportation of goods and services in and out of the navigable waters of the United States. The Merchant Marine is responsible for transporting cargo and passengers during peacetime. In times of war, they can be an auxiliary to the United States Navy, and can be called upon to deliver military personnel and materiel for the military. Merchant Marine Officers may also be designated as Military Officers by the Department of Defense. This is commonly achieved by commissioning unlimited tonnage Merchant Marine Officers as Strategic Sealift Officers in the Naval Reserves.
As of 2006, the United States merchant fleet had 465 privately owned ships of 1,000 or more gross register tons. Nearly 800 American-owned ships are flagged in other nations.
The federal government maintains fleets of merchant ships via organizations such as Military Sealift Command and the National Defense Reserve Fleet, which is managed by the United States Maritime Administration. In 2004, the federal government employed approximately 5% of all American water transportation workers.

Victoria Day, a public (statutory) holiday in some jurisdictions
On Monday May 21, 2012, most Canadians get a day off work with pay on what is called Victoria Day.
Employees get a day off with regular pay or public holiday pay (depending on the province or territory of employment). If the employee is required to work on the holiday, the employee must be paid regular wages and get a substituted day off with pay at a later date (depending on the province or territory of employment). However, Victoria Day is not a public (statutory) holiday under employment standards in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. In these provinces, a day off may be granted to retail industry employees under the Shops' Closing Act or similar legislation. For specific requirements for your jurisdiction, consult the Library section of HRinfodesk.
In Canada, the celebration of Victoria Day occurs every year on the Monday prior to May 25. It is the official celebration in Canada of the birthdays of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. Victoria Day was established as a holiday in Canada West in 1845, and became a national holiday in 1901. Before Victoria Day became a national holiday, people had celebrated Empire Day, beginning in the 1890s as Victoria approached her Diamond Jubilee in 1897.
No matter the reason… have a great long weekend and a great day off!

Aussie Museum To Return Maori Heads
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - An Australian museum
has agreed to return five tattooed and preserved Maori heads to New
Zealand, a spokesman said Thursday. The return of the heads from the
South Australian Museum in Adelaide later this month marks another
milestone in an ongoing campaign to repatriate all the tattooed heads
of Maori from museums and galleries round the world. Maori, the original
inhabitants of New Zealand, preserved the heads of their dead through
a drying process and often kept the heads of their loved ones around
the home. The South Australian Museum will hand over the heads - known
as ''moko mokai'' -on long-term loan at a ceremony on April 17. The
heads will be held by Te Papa, the Museum of New Zealand, in Wellington,
where dozens of other repatriated heads are stored. The largest collection
outside New Zealand, numbering 35 heads, is at New York's American
Museum of Natural History. Moko Mokai Education Trust spokesman Dalvanius
Prime said final negotiations were under way for the return of the
American Museum of Natural History's collection, and the heads should
be repatriated early next year. Prime also said the tattooed and preserved
head of a white New Zealander was secretly repatriated from Australia
in February and buried on land alongside the Whanganui River 160 miles
north of Wellington. Though Maori often kept the heads of their loved
ones, enemies or slaves were not so revered. Many Maori traded their
tattooed heads for European goods like muskets, meaning many heads
are now in museums around the world.
Preserved Maori heads traded by major-general
The first recorded sale of Maori mokomokai was in 1770,
says a history written by a chief trader and collector, British Army
Major-General Horatio Gordon Robley.
His book, published in 1896, Moko; or Maori Tattooing says Maori head
preservers steamed then carefully dried the body parts. Some heads
received further tattoos after death.
Robley said even dried Maori heads with few lines of moko were valuable,
as were "occasional specimens of dried European heads."
The trade ended "as far as possible" in the 1830s, with
most heads obtained in the last 20 years.
He said: "They are works of art; and it's value is subject to
all the vicissitudes that affect the value of other works of art.
"They are all very scarce and the number in private hands (as
distinct from Museum ownership) is very few."
The Major-General, who dedicated his book: "To those who have
served against the warriors of New Zealand",said among heads
in Museum collections were six at the Paris Museum d'Histoire Naturelle,
including a skin mounted on a plaster cast.
Two more were at the Berlin Konigliches Museum fur Volkekunde, one
fitted with glass eyes. This is pictured mounted on a metal pole with
a feather earring. Another four were in Plymouth, England.
He also mentions heads in Museums at Christchurch, Auckland, Sydney,
Gottingen, Germany and at the Royal College of Surgeons, London.
The Museum of New Zealand said last week it has mokomokai in it's
collection but they were not on display. It refused to supply Sunday
News with photographs of the heads because of the sensitivity of the
The many desperate tribes without the much-needed muskets to defend
themselves soon found a way of obtaining these weapons. The European
traders were more than willing to trade muskets for embalmed tattooed
heads. In war, the Maori custom was to take the heads of their victims,
embalm and preserve them, and then present the heads to the family
of the killed warrior. Because of the lucrative trade in dried heads,
with muskets as the end goal, Maori warriors began leading skirmishes
against other tribes uniquely to gain heads for ammunition. Muskets
were always available, but heads began to run short, and soon the
Maori found himself unable to continue supplying dried heads as previously.
News of the head for musket trade reached Britain, and caused an outcry.
As New Zealand was not yet a colony the British were unable to do
much to stop this trade. They were, however, able to pass a law against
the trading of heads to Australia in 1831, and after this date head
trading dwindled rapidly.Hongi Hika died in 1828, following a bullet
wound incurred during a battle in the Hokianga area.


Unique Differences Between Historical Dramas In China, Japan And Korea
The 3 countries have major differences.
There are lots of fun traditional dramas that have come out of China, Japan, and Korea. Check out some of the subtle differences between them!
1. China
Most of them are pre-produced, so sometime entire scenes must be re-filmed even if the drama has entered the editing process.
Korean dramas tend not to do this as it raises the cost of production. It's possible for Korean dramas to be finished editing mere hours before the episode airs.
For dramas set in the Qing Dynasty, actors must shave their heads for the role.
Though costume makeup has developed, many actors still shave their heads to make the drama more realistic.
2. Japan
Japanese dramas about the Edo period also require male actors to shave parts of their head.
Supposedly, this hairstyle made it easier for samurai to wear their helmets and was a sign of honour.
On NHK, they have an annual historical drama called "Taiga dramas" that broadcast every Sunday, from January to December.
Each story changes every year, and the tradition began back in 1963. At the end of the year, they broadcast a special 3 to 4 hour version of the full story.
3. Korea
Many actors in Korean traditional dramas decide to forgo the hairstyle of their ancestors, and simply cover their heads with traditional headgear.
According to ancient texts, this is how their ancestors styled their hair.
It's understandable that Korean actors decided to avoid this unique hairstyle.

The UISlider control offers a way to continuously get values from the user within a range of set values. In the Interface Builder library of controls, there is only a horizontal version of the slider, with no obvious way to change its orientation. In this blog, we'll learn how to rotate the slider control to a vertical orientation. So let's get started!
Start Xcode, choose "Create a new Xcode project," and select the Single View Application template. Click Next, name the project VerticalSlider, and choose options as shown:
Click Next, choose a location to save the project, and click Create.
Open ViewController.xib, and place a slider control on the view. Adjust the Minimum, Maximum, and Current values to 0, 360, and 0 as shown below. Also drag a UILabel control to the view, stretch it out and center it, and set the text to 44 points. Change the text in the label to "0", and center the text in the label.
Now open ViewController.h and make changes as shown here:
_USER_ ViewController : UIViewController
_USER_ (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UISlider *slider;
_USER_ (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UILabel *display;
- (IBAction)sliderValueChanged:(UISlider *)sender;
We've added outlet properties for both the slider and the label. Normally, we would not add an outlet for the slider, but in this application we want to change some properties of the slider object (make it vertical): we need an outlet to do that.
We've also added a method to detect a change in the value of the slider control. Reopen ViewController.xib, and wire up these properties and methods as shown here:
Make sure that the Value Changed event is selected in the slider.
Now open ViewController.m and make these changes to the file:
_USER_ ViewController ()
float r = d * (M_PI / 180);
- (IBAction)sliderValueChanged:(UISlider *)sender
self.display.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", (int)sender.value];
CGAffineTransform labelRotation = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
labelRotation = CGAffineTransformRotate(labelRotation, [self degrees2radians:sender.value]);
self.display.transform = labelRotation;
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
CGAffineTransform sliderRotation = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
sliderRotation = CGAffineTransformRotate(sliderRotation, -(M_PI / 2));
self.slider.transform = sliderRotation;
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
return (interfaceOrientation!= UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
After synthesizing the properties, we define a helper method, degrees2radians:, that converts a floating point number of degrees to radian measure. As humans, we tend to think of angles in degrees, but radian measure is used exclusively in most (if not all) graphics libraries. The conversion is simple: 360 degrees == 2π radians, so 1 radian == 2π / 360 degrees. Factoring out the 2 gives us π / 180. We can therefore convert degrees to radians by multiplying the number of degrees with π / 180.
Look next at viewDidLoad: (we'll come back to sliderValueChanged: in a moment). After calling through to super, we apply an affine transform to the slider's underlying view. This is possible because a UISlider (like all controls) is a descendent of UIView: UISlider ← UIControl ← UIView. As we already know, views can be transformed in a number of ways: they can be moved, scaled, and rotated.
First, we get a transform matrix by setting a local variable to the identity matrix. We then alter this matrix by applying a rotation transform (CGAffineTransformRotate) to it through -(π / 2) radians (-90 degrees). This value is then assigned to the transform property of the slider, which rotates the slider by 90 degrees in the counterclockwise direction. Higher values on the slider will therefore be "up."
The default center of rotation for a UIView object is the center of the view, calculated as the width of the view / 2 and the height of the view / 2. This transform therefore performs rotation about the center of the control. (If we want to rotate about another point, we must set the rotation point on the view's layer.)
In sliderValueChanged:, we set the text of the label to the value of the slider as an NSString, formatted with the slider's value cast to the integer type. We then apply a rotational transform to the label, converting the slider's value (degrees) into radian measure.
Run the application, and note that both the text and angle of the label change as the slider thumb is moved up and down:
(Of course, the slider itself is oriented vertically, which is the whole point of the blog!)
There is nothing that says the orientation of any control can't be at an arbitrary angle, for example, we could have oriented the slider at 45 degrees:
But such orientations are confusing to the user: changing in two directions at once (both horizontally and vertically) implies a change in two independent variables. Unless there is a very good reason to do this, keep the slider in either the default horizontal orientation, or the


Diagnostics Guide

Running Diagnostic Commands
Use diagnostic commands to communicate with a running Oracle JRockit JVM process. These commands tell the JRockit JVM to for example print a heap report or a garbage collection activity report, or to turn on or off a specific verbose module. This chapter describes how to run diagnostic commands and lists the available commands. The following sections are included:
Diagnostic Commands Overview
Diagnostic commands help you communicate with a running JRockit JVM process. With these commands you can for example ask for a heap report or enable or disable a verbose module.
You can send diagnostic commands to a running JVM process in several ways:
You can enable or disable any diagnostic command using the system property -Djrockit.ctrlbreak.enable=, where name is the name of the diagnostic command. The following two handlers are disallowed by default and need to be turned on:
For example:
Using jrcmd
jrcmd is a command line tool included with the JRockit JDK you can use to send diagnostic commands to a running JVM process. This section provides a brief overview of jrcmd. It includes information on the following subjects:
How jrcmd Communicates with the JRockit JVM
jrcmd uses the JRIPC library, a small C library, to communicate with a running JRockit JVM process. JRIPC has the following basic functionality
How to Use jrcmd
To use jrcmd, simply enter it at the command line, with the appropriate parameters:
jrcmd [ []] [-l] [-f file] [-p] -h]
If the PID is 0, commands will be sent to all JRockit JVM processes. If no options are given, default is -p.
jrcmd Examples
Here are some examples of using jrcmd for:
Listing JRockit JVM Processes
Do the following to list all JRockit JVM processes running on the machine:
 1. Run jrcmd or jrcmd -p to list the running JRockit JVMs; for example:
 2. > jrcmd -P
 10064 Sleeper
 -Xverbose:memory -Xmx30m
 You will see the PID of the process (10064) and the program it is currently running (Sleeper) as well as the parameters used to start the JVM (-Xverbose:memory -Xmx30m).
Sending a Command to a Process
To send a command to the process you identified in Listing JRockit JVM Processes, do the following:
 1. Find the PID from Listing JRockit JVM Processes (10064)
 2. Enter jrcmd with that PID and the version command; for example:
 3. > jrcmd 10064 version
 This command sends the version command to the JRockit JVM. The response will be:
 Oracle WebLogic JRockit(R) Virtual Machine build 9.9.9-1.5.0-Jun 9 2004-13:52:53-, Native Threads, GC strategy: parallel
Sending Several Commands
You can create a file (just like the ctrlhandler.act file) with several commands and execute all of them. Use this procedure:
 1. Create a file called commands.txt with the following contents:
 - version
 - timestamp
 2. Execute the file with jrcmd; for example:
 3. > jrcmd 10064 -f commands.txt
 The system will respond:
 ==== Timestamp ==== uptime: 0 days, 00:05:04 time: Fri Jun 11 14:28:31 2004
 4. Use the PID 0 to send the commands to all running JRockit JVM processes.
Known Limitations of jrcmd
When using jrcmd, be aware of these limitations:
Ctrl-Break Handler
Another way you can run diagnostic commands is by pressing Ctrl-Break. When you press Ctrl-Break, the JRockit JVM will search for a file named ctrlhandler.act (see Listing 21-1) in your current working directory. If it doesn't find the file there, it will look in the directory containing the JVM. If it does not find this file there either, it will revert to displaying the normal thread dump. If it finds the file, it will read the file searching for command entries, each of which invoke the corresponding diagnostic command.
Listing 21-1 ctrlhandler.act File
set_filename filename=c:\output.txt append=true
print_object_summary increaseonly=true
print_threads nativestack=true
jrarecording filename=c:\myjra.xml time=120 nativesamples=true
verbosity set=memory,memdbg,codegen,opt,sampling filename="c:\output"
# ctrl-break-handler will stop reading the file after it finds
# the stop key-word
# version - print JRockit version
# print_threads - the normal thread dump that lists all the currently
# running threads and there state
# print_class_summary - prints a tree of the currently loaded classes
# print_utf8pool - print the internal utf8 pool
# print_object_summary - display info about how many objects of each
# type that are live currently and how much size
# they use. Also displays points to information
# jvmpi_datadump
# jvmpi_datareset
# jrarecording - starts a jrarecording
# verbosity - changes the verbosity level, not functional in ariane142_04
# start_management_server - starts a management server
# kill_management_server - shuts the management server down
# (the managementserver.jar has to be in the bootclasspath for
# these command to work)
In the ctrlhandler.act file, each command entry starts with a Ctrl-Break Handler name followed by the arguments to be passed to the Ctrl-Break Handler. The arguments should be on the property form (that is, name=value; for example, set_filename filename=c:\output.txt append=true). String, integer or boolean values are acceptable property types.
You can disable Ctrl-Break functionality by setting this command:
Available Diagnostic Commands
Table 21-1 lists the currently available diagnostic commands.
Table 21-1 Existing Ctrl-Break Handlers
set_filename filename= [append=true]
Set the file which all commands following this command will use for printing. You can have several set_filename commands in a file. It takes two arguments: filename and an optional append to specify if you want to append to the file or overwrite it. The default file is stderr, and to overwrite the file.
Prints a timestamp.
Prints the JRockit JVM version
print_threads [nativestack=true] [jvmmonitors=true]
Prints a normal thread dump.
 - nativestack=true will print C-level stacktraces as well as Java traces.
 - jvmmonitors=true will also print the JRockit JVM's internal native locks (those that are registered): status and wait queue, and with -XXnativeLockProfiling=true their profile stats (acquired/contended/tryfailed).
verbosity [args=] [filename=]
Change the verbosity level normally specified with -Xverbose. This handler does not work in R25.
Prints the command line used to start the JRockit JVM.
See the JRockit Memory Leak Detector User Guide (for JRockit Mission Control 1.0) or the Memory Leak Detector built-in help (for Oracle JRockit Mission Control 2.0 and later).
Print all loaded classes.
Print all UTF8 strings.
Print all memory the OS says the JRockit JVM process is holding onto, as well as what each subsystem thinks it is holding onto.
Note: This command applies only to versions of JRockit JVM R26.3 and earlier.
Cause an OutOfMemoryDiagnostics to be printed. If both set_filename and -Djrockit.oomdiagnostics.filename is set, the latter takes precedence.
This command is deprecated in the JRockit JVM R26.4. Use heap_diagnostics instead.
Cause a heap diagnostic to be printed. Output ends up on Ctrl-Break Handler output stream and does not take the property -Djrockit.oomdiagnostics.filename into consideration. This command applies only to versions of JRockit JVM R26.4 and later.
Prints out a report on the JVM's native memory allocation on the C-Heap. This is only supported if you are running with HEAP_TRACE defined.
Prints out a comprehensive summary of garbage collection activity so far during the run. In order to be able to dynamically print out the same information as -XgcReport would provide at the end of an application run, make sure to have the option flag -XgcReport in your start-up configuration, otherwise the correct measurements won't be performed.
jrarecording [filename=] [time=] [nativesamples=true]
Starts a JRA recording. For more information, please refer to Creating a JRA Recording with JRockit Mission Control 1.0
run_optfile [filename=]
Starts the management server. (Actually the listening socket that in turn starts servers whenever a connection is established). managementnserver.jar has to be in the boot classpath for this command to work.
Stops the management server. (Actually shuts down the listening socket.) The only reason it isn't named stop_management_server is that stop is a reserved keyword that stops parsing of the act file


text: Blind source separation (BSS) for convolutive mixtures can be performed efficiently in the frequency domain, where independent component analysis (ICA) is applied separately in each frequency bin. To solve the permutation problem of frequency-domain BSS robustly, information regarding the number of sources is very important. This paper presents a method for estimating the number of sources from convolutive mixtures of sources. The new method estimates the power of each source or noise component by using ICA and a scaling technique to distinguish sources and noises. Also, a reverberant component can be identified by calculating the correlation of component envelopes. Experimental results for up to three sources show that the proposed method worked well in a reverberant condition whose reverberation time was 200 ms.

Some scientific phenomena in the ocean or atmosphere, such as wind and current, are normally measured with a pair of variables. The pair can be either magnitude (speed) and direction, where magnitude measures how fast wind or water flows, and direction measures the direction of the flow. These can also be measured as U and V components, where U is the velocity toward east, and V is the velocity toward north. This blog describes the capabilities of visualizing wind and ocean current data in ArcGIS, as well as the workflow for preparing layers for visualization.
To visualize wind or water flow, it is common to use vectors to symbolize size, color to represent speed, and symbol angle to represent flow direction. So how can you visualize the two rasters, either magnitude and direction variables, or U and V components? ArcGIS has a vector field data type and special renders for this purpose.
Visualize wind data in ArcGIS Pro
The map displays wind data on top of a temperature layer for the continental United States. The layer is composed of U and V components of wind, and displayed using the wind barb symbol of the Vector Field renderer. More vector symbol types are supported; see this help topic for more information on how to work with the Vector Field renderer in ArcGIS Pro.
Visualize an imagery layer of ocean current data using Map Viewer
This imagery layer in ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online contains magnitude and direction variables of ocean currents. The map displays using the Vector Symbol renderer in Map Viewer, in which arrows point to the flow direction and color indicates the speed. Since the imagery layer is multidimensional, the time slider can be used to animate wind flow through time.

How to prepare data for visualization
Wind and ocean current data is often stored in netCDF, GRIB, or HDF format, either as a single file or multiple files. There are a few ways to prepare a layer with the vector field from the data, depending on which product you use. The key is the Vector Field raster function, which composes the two variables that describe speed and direction into a two-band raster with a vector field type. The type is Vector-MagDir if the two variables represent magnitude and direction, or Vector-UV if the two variables represent U and V components. The recommended workflows of preparing data in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise are outlined below.
Prepare data using ArcGIS Pro
You can create a raster layer of the vector field and visualize it in ArcGIS Pro, or prepare a dataset with the vector field, and publish a vector field-ready imagery layer from it in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise.
Workflow 1: Create a vector field layer directly from the data
You can use the following workflow if the two variables are in one multidimensional raster file, such as a netCDF, HDF, GRIB, or CRF file:
- Click the Add Data button and choose the Add Multidimensional Raster Layer tool.
- Check the check boxes for two variables that represent magnitude and direction (or U and V components).
- Choose an option for Output Configuration. In this example, it is Vector Field (Magnitude-Direction), as indicated above. Define the corresponding variable type, as shown below, and click OK to create the layer.
A layer with Vector-MagDir type will be added to the map and it will be displayed using the vector field render by default. You can also save the data to a vector field-ready Cloud Raster Format (CRF) using the Copy Raster tool.
Note: This layer is a function raster layer containing a Vector Field raster function. You can also add the two variables to the map and create a layer using the Vector Field raster function. If the two variables are stored in two files, you can also use this workflow, adding the two variables as two separate raster layers to create a layer using the Vector Field raster function.
Workflow 2: Create a dataset of vector field type from multiple files
When your data is stored in multiple files, you can use a mosaic dataset and a vector field processing template to create a vector field-ready dataset. Here, we use NetCDF files as an example to outline the workflow:
- Create a mosaic dataset using the Create Mosaic Dataset geoprocessing tool.
- Open the Add Rasters to Mosaic Dataset tool and for Raster Type, choose NetCDF. If your data is in other formats, you can choose an appropriate raster type here.
- Set the input path containing your data and click the Raster Type button (blue box). The Raster Type Properties page appears.
- On the page, click Variables in the left panel and select two variables in the right panel, then define the type for each variable; in this example, it is U and V. Next, click Processing in the left panel and choose Vector Field.
- Click OK to add data, and a mosaic dataset will be created with a Vector-UV type.
- For better display performance, you can convert the mosaic dataset to CRF format using the Copy Raster tool, and this output CRF will have a Vector-UV raster type.
Create a vector field imagery layer in ArcGIS Online
There are two ways to create a vector field imagery layer in ArcGIS Online: One is to first create an imagery layer from the source files containing the two variables, then create a vector field imagery layer by composing a function template and running raster analytics. The created imagery layer will have either a Vector-UV or Vector-MagDir type. This workflow is entirely web based and requires that you have image analysis privilege. The other method is to use ArcGIS Pro to create a vector field dataset, such as CRF, from which to create a vector field imagery layer directly in ArcGIS Online. I recommend you use this method if you have ArcGIS Pro, because it will upload only the two required variables in ArcGIS Online which saves storage, and you can publish it directly without having to run raster analytics which requires image analysis privileges.
Workflow 3: Create a vector field imagery layer from source files
You can create a vector field imagery layer directly from the source files, such as data in netCDF, HDF, GRIB, or CRF format. Before you start, make sure your account has the ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online user type extension license with hosted imagery publishing and image analysis privileges. Refer to this help topic for information about privileges to publish a hosted imagery layer, as well as the choice of tiled or dynamic imagery layers.
To create a multidimensional imagery layer, complete the following steps:
- Click the My Contenttab and click the New item
- Choose the Imagery layer option to open the Create Imagery Layers
- Choose the Tiled Imagery Layer Both tiled and dynamic imagery layers are supported for visualizing vector field data.
- For the layer configuration option, choose One Image if your data is stored in a single file, or choose One Mosaicked Image if your data is stored in multiple files.
- In the Select input imagery box, click Browse or drag your files or the whole CRF folder into the box.
- Click Next to define your layer name, tags, summary, and folder to save.
- Choose Create to start layer creation.
It will create a single imagery layer with all the variables available including the two variables for the Vector Field raster function in the next step.
Note: If the data is stored in two separate raster files, you can create two layers by going through the workflow steps above twice.
To create a vector field imagery layer, complete the following steps:
This will take the two variables in the imagery layer in the previous step, and create a vector field imagery layer using the Vector Field raster function. Use Map Viewer Classic if the Raster Function Editor is not yet available in the standard Map Viewer.
- Open the multidimensional imagery layer created above in Map Viewer Classic, click the Raster Function Editor button (in blue box).
2. In the Raster Function Editor, search for the Multidimensional Filter function and Vector Field function in the System category and create a function chain the same as the one in the following diagram. You can save the raster function template, or directly bring it to the Raster Analysis pane without saving. Click OK to continue and prepare for raster analysis.
Note: If U and V (or Magnitude and Direction) are created in two separate imagery layers, Match Variables option in Multidimensional Rules needs to be unchecked. Multidimensional Rules are located in Edit Properties, the first button at top-right corner of the Raster Function Editor.
3. Define the input parameters for the template.
a. In the first Multidimensional Filter function, select the first variable, for U or magnitude.
b. In the second Multidimensional Filter function, select the second variable, for V or direction.
c. Choose an option for Input Data Type from the combo box. It is either U-V or Magnitude-Direction; make sure the type matches the selected variables. And define the Output Data Type to be Magnitude-Direction.
d. Provide an output name and click Run Analysis to the create imagery layer.
The output will be a vector field-ready imagery layer.
Workflow 4: Create an imagery layer from a vector field-ready CRF
Sometimes you may have a CRF with a vector field type created in ArcGIS Pro. You can create an imagery layer from this CRF using the first portion of workflow 3 above, described in the ArcGIS Online workflow section. The layer created will be vector field ready.
Publish an imagery layer for ArcGIS Enterprise
To publish a vector field imagery layer for ArcGIS Enterprise, you can either publish from your portal or publish using ArcGIS Pro.
Workflow 5: Publish from your portal

In 1924 there were 294 farms in the Area growing potatoes. The average farm was 100 acres; the largest being 1046 acres and the smallest 100 acres. Hastings was known as "The Potatoe Capitol of the World".


Why Did Kaneki'S Nails Turn Black?
How old is kaneki?
Why did they kidnap kaneki?
He was a ghoul tortured brutally by a CCG officer and quickly became a torturer himself. It's safe to say he tortured other people before Kaneki. … Yamori, a sadistic guy, wanted to see how strong a one eyes willpower was, so he took kaneki, and you know the rest from there!
What do black fingernails mean?
Dark spots or streaks rather than full discoloration of the nails may be caused by bruising, psoriasis, melanoma (a type of skin cancer), chronic infections, and medications such as from cancer chemotherapy.
Why the nails are black?
Some types of bacteria, as well as fungal infection of the nail, can also produce melanin that discolours the nails. Nicotine stains from cigarettes, certain medicated lotions and dirt can also stain our nails. Injuries or ill-fitting shoes can cause bleeding under the nail, making it appear black.
Why did kaneki's hair turn white?
As Kaneki had to repeatedly heal his toes over and over and over, all the while being tortured and borderline starved. His body was basically getting weaker and weaker because the cells were wearing thin, which is why his hair turns white, as happens with people when they get old.
Was kaneki's mom abusive?
Kaneki being abused. She was intelligent and seemed to always be kind. … Kaneki's description of his mother appears to be somewhat distorted; his memories of her show her actions of being physically abusive, beating her young son and putting others' needs before his emotional health along with her own physical health.
Did kaneki eat hide?
Kaneki has gone out of his mind, babbling irrationally in a state of being half kakuja. Hide lets Kaneki eat his face to get back his strength. While it appeared at first that Hide had died in the process, he reappeared later as Scarecrow, an ally of Kaneki and the ghoul hunters.
Is kaneki the strongest ghoul?
Ken Kaneki is the main protagonist of the Tokyo Ghoul series. … Kaneki is ranked as an SS Ghoul, but he is much more powerful than that.
What do black streaks in fingernails mean?
Black lines on the nail can be the result of many conditions. Trauma is one of the most common causes of splinter hemorrhages. This can occur when something hurts your nail bed and bursts a blood vessel under your nail.
What happens if your fingernail turns black?
It is common for a nail to turn black after an injury. The black or purple-black color is caused by blood under the nail and will go away as the injury heals. Black, brown, or purple discoloration under a nail that has not been injured may be caused by melanoma.
What mental illness does kaneki have?
dissociative identity disorderA more common and rational belief is that Kaneki/Haise suffers from dissociative identity disorder, in which the sufferer has two or more distinct and separate identities that take control over the persons behaviour.
How long was kaneki tortured?
10 daysYou are correct, but there are some people who don't know exactly how long Kaneki was tortured. He was tortured for 10 days, enough time for his hair to turn white.

- Ownership of the process
- GROUP privilege to cancel scheduled wakeup requests for
processes in the same group but not owned by you
- WORLD privilege to cancel scheduled wakeup requests for any

The name of the node on which the specified process is running.
You cannot specify a node name on a different OpenVMS Cluster system
from the current process.
The name of the process for which wakeup requests are to be canceled.
The process name can have up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
The specified process must be in the same group as the current process.
The CANCEL command cancels scheduled wakeup requests for the specified
The CANCEL command does not delete the specified process. If the
process is executing an image when the CANCEL command is issued for it,
the process hibernates instead of exiting after the image completes
To delete a hibernating process for which wakeup requests have been
canceled, use the STOP command. You can determine whether a subprocess
has been deleted by entering the SHOW PROCESS command with the
A local process name can look like a remote process name. Therefore, if
you specify ATHENS::SMITH, the system checks for a process named
ATHENS::SMITH on the local node before checking node ATHENS for a
process named SMITH.
You also can use the /IDENTIFICATION=pid qualifier to specify a process
name. If you use the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier and the
process-name parameter together, the qualifier overrides the
parameter. If you do not specify either the process-name
parameter or the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier, the CANCEL command cancels
scheduled wakeup requests for the current (that is, the issuing)
Identifies the process by its process identification (PID). You can
omit leading zeros when you specify the PID.
The CANCEL command in this example cancels a wakeup request for a
process named CALENDAR (which continues to hibernate until it is
deleted with the STOP command).
$ RUN/SCHEDULE=14:00 STATUS
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 0013012A
The RUN command in this example creates a process to execute the image
STATUS. The process hibernates and is scheduled to be awakened at
14:00. Before the process is awakened, the CANCEL command cancels the
$ RUN/PROCESS_NAME=LIBRA/INTERVAL=1:00 LIBRA
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 00130027
$ CANCEL LIBRA
$ STOP LIBRA
The RUN command in this example creates a subprocess named LIBRA to
execute the image LIBRA.EXE at hourly intervals.
Subsequently, the CANCEL command cancels the wakeup request. The
process continues to exist, but in a state of hibernation, until the
STOP command deletes it.

OUR LOCAL INITIATIVE
Healthy Babies Are Worth the Wait (HBWW) ® is a project of the March of Dimes focused on decreasing the rate of preterm births in communities with a disproportionately high number of babies being born prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy.
The Broward Healthy Start Coalition received HBWW funding from the March of Dimes in 2020 to work within a Collective Impact framework to decrease the rates of preterm births in cities and zip codes in Broward County with elevated preterm birth rates. The project conducts a root cause analysis through the collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data specific to prematurity and maternal health in the priority populations
Our efforts and strategies are developed and implemented with a racial equity lens by an advisory board comprised of key stakeholders in the community and a Project Navigator who leads the activities. With the knowledge that no two communities are exactly alike, the project strives to learn about the issues affecting individual communities through canvassing efforts and conversations with community members. Embracing what we learn from communities, we in turn use that information to educate those most impacted by adverse birth outcomes through public events while bringing awareness of preterm birth rates to community leaders, health care providers, and other key stakeholders.

Tax Act, State of Maine, 1827
In 1827 the state of Maine issued a tax act, which delineated the amount of taxes that each town was responsible for paying to the state. The state of Maine determined that the town of Baldwin was responsible for $76.30 of the fifty thousand dollars in taxes that it was assessed the inhabitants of the state owed. This tax act also lists exclusions and rules to include property to be taxed. Elias Thomas, the signer of this document, was the treasurer for the state of Maine from 1824 to 1827 as well as in 1829 and 1830.

Resources are new types of materials introduced in Dead Space 3 to replace traditional credits, as the Store system is not present in the game. They drop randomly from Necromorphs, as well as appearing in storage rooms and crates. Resources are generally used to craft various items and essentials, but they are also used to upgrade the user's RIG if they have the necessary resources.
- Scrap Metal - The most common resource. It's used in nearly everything, from creating weapon parts and ammunition to forging new circuits and improvement of armor. Resource Scavenging yields Scrap Metal at a much higher amount than other materials.
- Semiconductors - A semi-common resource used extensively in Armor upgrades and the creation of some weapon parts.
- Transducers - A somewhat rare resource used extensively in Stasis Module upgrades and the creation of Stasis Packs. Transducers are generally found in wall containers in much greater amounts and availability than that of natural drops or in boxes.
- Tungsten - The rarest resource, used in the creation of advanced weapon parts, circuits and Tungsten Torque Bars, which can be used to unlock certain storage rooms. Depending on the type of weapon frame being used, Tungsten must be spent to unlock additional circuit slots at 20, 40 and 60 counts, unless using an Elite (or better) frame, which will have all slots already unlocked.
- Somatic Gel - Somatic Gel is only used in the creation of Med Packs and for RIG hit point upgrades. At higher difficulties or on Pure Survival mode, Somatic Gel becomes vastly more scarce compared to other modes, unlike other resources.
Ration Seals are special items not found anywhere in the world and must be found by Scavenger Bots. Instead of being used to make things, like the resources above, these Seals can be traded for Resource Packs at any Bench. The prices of resource packs are 10, 30, or 60 seals. The 10 Ration Seals pack contains a decent amount of resources, but unlike the 30 and 60 Ration Seals packs, no Mk. V weapon parts are given. For 30 Ration Seals you can get a Mk. V weapon part, with a 50% chance of a 2nd one, and a nice quantity of resources. A 60 Ration Seal pack has 2 Mk. V weapon parts, with a 50% chance of getting a third, and has more resources than the 30 Ration Seal pack.
Resources can also be gathered by deploying Scavenger Bots. Depending on whether or not you deploy the bot at a hotspot, it will bring many or little resources.
Resource-rich sites most appropriate for scavenger bot deployment are often marked by a weird pulsating sound, whether in space or on the ground. Areas that does not contain resource (i.e shown as a red circle) can still be searched with a bot, however will yield little to none resources at all.
Upon completing Pure Survival mode, Mega Resources deposits becomes available at random locations, and will yield much more resources per turn compared to normal sites.

The DataPortal Query module allows querying of data in a Composable DataPortal using Entity SQL. It takes a DataPortal ID, an SQL query, and a list of objects as parameters and returns a Composable Table.
See below for a complete discussion of inputs and options.
The following example DataFlow demonstrates many of the possible ways to use the DataPortal Query module. This DataFlow uses the DataPortal Query sample DataPortal model, which creates a DataPortal called
DataPortalQuery by default. WARNING: this DataFlow deletes all existing data in the DataPortal, so only run it against a test DataPortal. You can change the name in the Excel file if you already have a
DataPortalQuery DataPortal, just be sure to select the right DataPortal when configuring the DataFlow.
Adding New Data
This DataFlow uses the DataPortal Sync module to add entries to the DataPortal we can query from. These will create 5 entries, each having two FamilyHistoryEntries.
Querying Data Using Entity SQL
To ensure the proper types are returned if the query produces no data, it is usually best practice to not use the VALUE keyword. The module will provide a warning if the user attempts to use it and no data is returned. The recommended way of returning all data from a table is as shown below:
There is no '*' selector in Entity SQL. If you want all the rows to be returned in a query you must manually specify them. For a full list of the differences between Transactional SQL queries and Entity SQL queries refer to the official documentation.
The output of the DataPortal Query module is a Composable Table. If the object is a one-to-one relationship such as Double, the value will simply be returned as it exists in the database. If the object is a one-to-many relationship in the case of FamHistoryEntries which is a Table, an error will be thrown. To reference these write a SQL query like the one shown here that joins the tables:
This is the Id for the DataPortal you wish to query. Simply click on it and select the DataPortal from the list that appears.
This is the SQL query you wish to execute on the DataPortal. Specific formatting can be found in the example.
This takes in a list of KeyValuePairs of type
Cases AS c
FamilyHistories AS h
ON c.Id = h.CaseId
WHERE h.HasFamilyHistory = _USER_

'A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia' offers exciting and amazing tips on the importance of oaks and how to plant them successfully '
Darnum, Victoria, Australia (PRWEB) January 11, 2013
Author Richard Browne expresses his sturdy and prolific fervor for nature as he pens a profound and delightful anthology in A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia. This is the author's long dream to write a book about his passion–oak trees and to share to the world how he was captivated by its grandeur and mystery.
This volume will reveal Browne's 10 years of collecting and planting oaks. It all began after arriving from Ireland and realising what to do with his six acres of bare land. Missing the beautiful and colorful changing of the seasons and the distinctive smell of the deciduous woods that he had enjoyed during his childhood, thus he decided to collect and plant oaks from different parts of the world. Through time, Browne studied and researched as much knowledge as could be found. Browne believes that oaks have played a great part in the evolution of culture. It is also the most obvious form of flora and fauna that has been quite advantageous to the Australian landscape, soil and wildlife rather than being detrimental like so many of the other impulsive imports. This book aims to provide a simple guide to the things people didn't know, but probably should, about the oaks.
A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia is a book that showcases the author's long years of passion for oaks. It will also help gardeners, oak enthusiasts and land owners learn many interesting new facts and method about oak planting and collecting.
For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to _URL_.
About the Author
Richard Browne has studied and collected oak trees for many years, both in Europe and Australia. He is a member of The International Oak Society, and an assistant curator for The Encyclopaedia of Life. The author is an educator and often called upon around S.E. Australia for advice on trees and their planting. He is currently preparing an extensive work on the world's oaks, of which this book is a small and often intriguing sample.

What does "no explicit time dependence" mean in this context? :
A symmetry of the KdV is given by $$\tilde x=x, \tilde t=t+\epsilon, \tilde u =u$$ as there is no explicit time dependence in the KdV.

In Physics, the notion of explicit time dependence denotes equations where the time parameter t occurs "freely" and not only as a $\frac{d}{dt}$. So an equation of the form $v(x)=a_0t+v_0$ is explicitly time dependent, but $a(x)=a_0$ is not.

Thank you, Dominik. Just to confirm my understanding of your explanation: the partial derivative wrt $t$ does not count as explicitly time-dependent, only an actual factor of $t$ in the equation does? – Henry Nov 24 '12 at 19:59
That's right. Another commonly used word for this is that the equation is autonomous, a word which for unfathomable reasons doesn't appear in the wikipedia article on differential equations. – Harald Hanche-Olsen Nov 24 '12 at 20:24

During the process of acetylene production, the chemical reaction produces some amount of heat. The amount of heat dispelled during generation is monitored to ensure that it is not excessive. Heat is further reduced during the purification process and under normal operating conditions, should not become an issue.
However, during the process of regenerating purification material, heat is usually created in the purifier. If the temperature of the purifier increases disproportionately in isolated spots or places, this is known as hot spots which may result in damage to the purifier liner if not corrected. Understanding the causes and corrective actions of purifier hot spots will increase the safety of your operations as well as the life of your purifier.
Reasons for Hot Spot Formation in Acetylene Purifiers
Hot spots can be caused by:
- Insufficient air reaching the purification material
- Channeling of air through the purification material, rather than complete absorption into all of the material
- Partial blockage of the purifier vent
- Incomplete purge of the acetylene plant due to blockage of the purifier vent
Reverse Hot Spot Formation in Acetylene Purifiers
If hot spots are being formed in your purifier, it can be reversed by following the below-mentioned steps:
- Mechanical Disconnections
- Vent the Pressure
- Nitrogen Purging
- Reactivate the Purifier
Open the purifier vent valve in the following manner:
a. Open the vent
b. Close the purifier outlet valve
c. Close the valves at the bottom of the generator flashback arrestors
d. Open the purifier vent valve
a. Once the purifier vent valve has been opened, the pressure in the purifier should drop one lb. in five seconds and continue decreasing.
b. If the pressure drops in this manner, close the purifier and the inlet valve.
c. In case the pressure does not drop, the purifier vent might be blocked. This can be resolved by venting out the pressure from the flashback arrestor safety valves. Maintain the pressure at 6 psig or less.
a. Connect two nitrogen cylinders to the reactivation hose that passes through the purifier.
b. Force the nitrogen through the purifier. The nitrogen cylinder regulator should be set at 5 psi and 50 CFH flow.
c. At the same time, run water on the purifier vessel until the temperature of the cabinet is approximately 98 deg F.
(If more nitrogen is needed, additional cylinders should be connected and used until the temperature is reduced.)
d. Before reactivation, pressurize the purifier four times with nitrogen. After each time, it will be necessary to vent the pressure to remove all traces of acetylene from the purifier.
a. The purifier is now ready for reactivation. Disconnect the nitrogen flow and connect the airline.
b. Proceed to pass air through the cabinet at 50 CFH for eight hours.
c. The purifier should now be at room temperature. If it is not, then continue reactivation until the acetylene purifier reaches room temperature.
d. When the purifier nears room temperature, close the vent valve. Allow the pressure to build up to 5 psi and then vent the pressure.
e. Check for increase in temperature. If the temperature does not increase, pressurize to 10 psi and vent the pressure. Repeat two more times.
f. If the purifier has warmed up, continue reactivation until it reaches room temperature.
g. Remove the lid and check the purifying material for moisture content. If the material is dry, bypass all acetylene around the low pressure dryer.
h. If you are cooling the cooler condenser with well water, reduce the water flow such that the acetylene going into the purifier is a little warmer than the purifying material.
i. The purifier is now ready to be used.
After reactivation, check the purifier in fifteen-minute intervals to determine if there is occurrence of heat buildup during the cylinder charging process. This problem is most likely to occur during the first four (4) hours after reactivation.
The safety and efficiency of an acetylene plant is dependent on the functioning of the various components and parts of the plant. Hence, it is important that the plant is serviced in accordance with the procedures outlined in the operator's manual. Plant owners can also opt for a preventive maintenance plan that helps reduce failure rate of parts and ensures seamless functioning of the plant at all times. Customized preventive maintenance kits are available that include spares and other parts that can help implement a preventive maintenance plan.

 - Incident reports: Incidents range from jams on highways to planned construction works. These reports come often from local authorities such as the police or a local traffic management central. In many areas we have partnerships with the local authorities who will send the information to us.
 - Highway sensors: Many metropolitan areas have statically installed traffic flow sensors that measure the current average speeds on highways and major roads.
 - Crowd-sourcing: While the incident reports are very punctual and the installed sensors usually focused on major highways, we are also using the wisdom of the crowd to understand the traffic situation over the whole city. These are for example Nokia smartphones running Nokia Drive. People who are consuming traffic information can also improve the service by providing anonymous information about their current travel speed.
 - Historic information: The above information is archived and assumptions are made about the current speed on a street based on the historic information if there's not enough information from sensors or probes. Many streets in a city have a very regular pattern, e.g. the same traffic jam every morning but fast during night times.
 - Modelling: In many cases the traffic situation on the whole street network can be deducted from partial information. E.g. from a heavy jam on a highway one can often deduct the situation on the slip road entering the highway as well as the streets just before that.

Sort your items using the Automatic Chest Sorter.
The Atlas chest sorting system works using storage minecarts and is able to move entire inventories instantly.
The storage cart can be put into one of three modes by having the cart pass over a powered activator rail with a wool block under it.
The color of the wool will change the mode of the minecart.
- Red Wool = Chest to Cart mode - Take items out of chests and put them into the minecart. (Note: currently to reduce abuse, the chest MUST be named "Input")
- Blue Wool = Cart to Chest mode - Take items out of the cart and put them into the chests.
- White Wool = Disabled mode - Returns the cart back to vanilla bahavior.
There are other settings that you can use:
- Green Wool = Leave one of each item type behind.
- Orange Wool = Don't leave any items behind.
- Yellow Wool = Leave one of each stack behind. (not implemented yet)
- Magenta Wool = Only transfer if the target already contains the same type of item.
- Brown Wool = Transfer regardless of what is in the target.
- Pink Wool = Top up existing stacks in the target. (not implemented yet)
Once you have configured the cart using the wool blocks, when the cart passes over a powered activator rail it will scan for nearby chests (2 blocks up, 2 blocks down, 1 block east, west, north, & south) and will put or take items as you have configured it.
Right click the minecart to view the current config.
It is possible (and recommened) to have a single cart in your base that performs all sorting activity,
== NEW FEATURES - NOT YET ON SERVER ==
Activator rail on Black Wool - Will search for a sign attached to the back wool block, and perform one of the following actions:
- "SetName" will rename the cart to the name specified on the second line of text on the sign.
Detector rail on Black Wool - Will search for a sign attacked to the wool block, and perform one of the following actions:
- "NameEquals" - Will activate if the carts name matches the one on the second line of the sign
- "NameContains" - Will activate if the carts name contains the text on the second line of the sign
- "NameStartsWith" - Will activate if the carts name starts with the text on the second line of the sign
- "NameEndsWith" - Will activate if the carts name ends with the text on the second line of the sign
- "CartType" - Will activate for the cart types on the second line of the sign: "Rideable", "Storage", "Explosive", "Hopper", "Spawner", "Powered"
- "HasPassenger" - Will activate if the cart has a passenger
Adding the word "not" to the thrid line on the sign will cause the output to be the opposite of what it would be normally.
Avoid having multiple signs near the wool block as it may get confused.
Activator rail on a hopper will cause minecarts to be 'killed' and deposited into the hopper.

Let $\epsilon_0$ be the fixed positive constant such that $F_0 := \{ y \mid b(y) < \epsilon_0\}$ is nonempty and bounded. Fix $z\in F_0$. Then we have that if $y \in Y \setminus F_0$, $b(y) - b(z) \geq \epsilon_0 - b(z) =: \delta_0 > 0$.
By assumption $F_0$ is bounded, hence there exists $C > 0$ such that $B_C(z) \supset F_0$. (Here I take $B_C(z)$ to be the open ball; a simple modification of the following argument also allows for closed balls.)
Let $c = \frac{\delta_0}{2C}$. Now we verify this choice of $C$ and $c$ is good.
Given $y \in Y\setminus B_C(z)$, let $\tilde{y} = \frac{C}{\|y-z\|} (y-z) + z$. By convexity of the function $b$ we have that
$$ \frac{C}{\|y-z\|} (b(y) - b(z)) + b(z) \geq b(\tilde{y}) \geq b(z) + \delta_0 $$
Hence we have that
$$ b(y) - b(z) \geq \frac{\delta_0}{C} \|y-z\| > \frac{\delta_0}{2C} \|y-z\| = c \| y - z\| $$
as claimed.

BARD (thief subclass)
Bards are an interesting group. They are, essentially, a melding of
fighters, thieves, and song masters. While adept at the skills of
both combat and larceny, a bard's primary power is derived from
offensive and defensive "songs." The bard undergoes rigorous training
to learn how to use words, melody and counterpoint to effect changes
in their environment. Bards can use their songs to hurt, to charm, and
to inspire as well as to understand the nature of objects around them.
As a hybrid of classes, a bard has the gift of both fighter and thief
abilities, but does not possess the full range, nor the full strength
of the abilities of a true member of either class.
Bards are charismatic and joyous adventurers. They are known
throughout the lands for regaling the folk with tales of their
journeys. As such, many shopkeepers reward bards by paying a higher
than usual price for a bard's goods. Shopkeepers may do this to
assist the bard in further adventuring and in hopes of the bard
returning with more glorious tales.
A bard only performs one song at a time, but is capable of improvising
with refrains that adjust the mood and keep the audience on their
Bards can not wear gloves, shield or plate helmet.
Bards have the following skills:
sleight staff toughness awareness
resistance disarm bow dagger
sword axe singing combat
spear mace flail
Bards have the following songs; the (*) indicates a refrain:
charm fear vengeance rejuvenation

Generate an id for imported data (Excel)
Post by leven.steve »
I was hoping that importing data would auto-generate/increment the ID column but it doesn't (unless I'm mistaken?)
So I wrote this function in Excel VBA to generate a random string for the "id".
Usage: (in Excel column)
Function MakeApperyID(length As Integer) As String
' create a id string of "length" chars using 0-9 and a-f only
' in keeping with Appery DB _id format you could call this
' with length 4 to create a starting 4 char sequence in a fixed cell location
' and then add that to a length 20 call to create the remainder of the ID
Code: Select all
 Dim Result
 Dim i, j, k
 Dim ch
 Randomize (Now)
 Result = ""
 For i = 1 To length
 k = CInt(Rnd()) 'zero or one to decide on letter or number
 If k = 0 Then
 j = CInt(Rnd() * 5)
 ch = Chr(j + 97)
 j = CInt(Rnd() * 9)
 ch = Chr(j + 48)
 End If
 Result = Result + ch
 MakeApperyID = Result
End Function
Feel free to use, amend and feedback any useful changes.

Aug 2011: MobileHCI Conference Tutorial
31 August 2011, Katarzyna Wac is giving a tutorial titled "Performance evaluation of mobile services: measurements-based methodology and example assessment techniques" at the MobileHCI conference in Stockholm, Sweden.
This tutorial first presents a generic methodology for measurements-based performance evaluation of a mobile communication system and its service(s), and second, it presents an application of this methodology to mobile healthcare services. The performance evaluation aims at analysis of, for example, mobile system bottleneck or scalability characteristics or at analysis of its responsiveness, where all metrics contribute to the overall experience of the mobile service use. The presented methodology has been derived from previous studies on performance of communication networks. The methodology is outlined to perform (practical) measurements, as opposite to (theoretical) simulations or modeling. The methodology includes detailed steps for objectives determination, system instrumentation, and measurements execution and performance evaluation activities. The tutorial illustrates use of the methodology for performance evaluation of MobiHealth system and its vital sign tele-monitoring service provided to a mobile patient wearing a Wireless Body Area Network.

What Is the Systematic Name of PbO?
By Staff WriterLast Updated Mar 28, 2020 1:36:25 AM ET
The systematic name of the compound PbO is lead(II) oxide. This substance is also commonly referred to as lead monoxide, lead oxide and plumbous oxide.
Lead(II) oxide is an inorganic compound that can take on two different crystal structures, or polymorphs. One structure is tetragonal, and the other is orthorhombic. Lead(II) oxide can be fatal if ingested, and exposure to the substance can be harmful to the skin, eyes, gums, kidneys, blood, respiratory tract and central nervous system.
Most methods for producing lead(II) oxide involve oxidizing lead at very high temperatures, and it is used in the manufacture of industrial glass and industrial ceramics.

Background and Challenges
Having a solution that is able to view and control the oil well and oil field in real time has been a challenge for the rig and refinery company. Because oil well and oil field are widespread in large coverage, and problems of drilling oil caused by harsh environment, system shutdown and human error sometimes make oil production halt, which affects the output and also bring trouble for management.
System Requirements
BIVOCOM recommends a wireless monitor and control solution, which uses wireless, intelligent and automation technology to cover all the oil well and oil field, reduce the risk of problems caused by human error, monitor the weather and system in real time, to promote the output and reduce consumption. The system includes 1. Data collection system To collect data of pressure, current, voltage, temperature, etc. 2. Data transmission BIVOCOM TD210 DTU Series, to transfer the data to center through 4G/3G/CDMA/GPRS cellular network. 3. Data center Data storage and process, remote control the system, etc.
1. Auto check and display data of current, voltage, temperature, etc.
2. Wireless remote monitor and automation, cost-saving.
3. Data auto transferred and report, real time monitor and alert, reduce incident.

Letting bodies be bodies: Exploring Relaxed Performance in the Canadian performance landscape
Authors: Andrea LaMarre, Carla Rice, Kayla Besse
There is an increasing movement toward accessibility in arts spaces, including recent legislative changes and commitments at individual, organizational, and systemic levels to integrating access into the arts across Canada. In this article, we explore Relaxed Performance (RP) in the context of this movement. We present the results of a reflexive thematic analysis of interviews conducted with participants who completed RP training offered by the British Council to. understand the training's effectiveness and impact. We explore the significance of the training, and of RP in general, and in relation to disability studies and cultural and political activism. We undertake this exploration against a backdrop of interrogating who RP is for and by. The themes we describe are: Committed to Access, Training is Critical, Inviting Bodies to be Bodies, and Imagining Audiences. These themes tell a story of how RP relates to broader access work, the importance of training grounded in and led by disability/difference, the need to consider the relationships between bodies and spaces, and the tensions inherent to billing RP as "for all." We conclude with an exploration of possible modifications, enhancements, or theoretical imaginings that could help RP to become more radically open to difference as it emerges, shifts, and changes.
