15 Foods To Try in Yucatan, Mexico
Yucatan is the most visited part of Mexico, mostly because of its unbelievably beautiful sandy beaches and turquoise waters, fascinating nature and marine life. The Yucatan Peninsula however has even more to offer beyond the famous resorts of Cancun and Tulum: its unique culture and history. And what can be a better way to experience it rather than through food? Heavily influenced by Mayan and European cultures, the traditional foods prepared in this region are full of flavor and unique ingredients. Take a look at our list of 15 foods that you must try in the Yucatan Peninsula!
1) Sopa de Lima

Sopa de Lima is considered the chicken noodle soup of the Yucatan Peninsula. This chicken soup has a tangy kick of sour lima, or Citrus Limetta – if you want to get technical – which is grown everywhere in the region, that leaves you feeling refreshed and full.
2) Cochinita Pibil

This is by far one of the most popular dishes of the Yucatan Peninsula. Cochinita Pibil is pork, baby pig to be exact, that is marinated overnight in bitter orange juices, seasoned with achiote paste and other spices, wrapped in fresh banana leaves then cooked in an earthen pit, or pib. Pollo Pibil is another variation of this dish where pork is replaced with chicken.
3) Huevos Motuleños
Huevos Motulenos-1

A typical breakfast served in the small city of Motul located in the North-West of the Yucatan Peninsula is Huevos Motuleños. This dish originated from Motul, hence the name, and is made up of a combination of ingredients and flavors. Eggs, tortillas, black beans, cheese and other various foods can be added to this delicious breakfast.
4) Pavo en Relleno Negro

Pavo en Relleno Negro may not be an eye catcher, but it's a book that shouldn't be judged by its cover. This stew like dish consists of perfectly seasoned turkey in a relleno negro sauce. This sauce is what makes this dish so tasty with its numerous ingredients. The key ingredient to the sauce is burnt chiles de arbol, which give the sauce its black color.
5) Queso Relleno

Normally prepared on special occasions, but so delicious you should eat it whenever you want! Queso Relleno is a clash of flavors and cultures all in one. Its signature ingredient is Edam cheese, a famous Dutch brand, which is stuffed with beef, onions, tomatoes and raisins (there are different variations available).
6) Salbutes
Taken in Mérida, Yucatán, México

Salbutes are basically the Yucatan version of Tostados. They're made of a puffed deep fried tortilla then smothered with pulled chicken or turkey, avocado, cabbage and pickled red onion and jalapeño. You can usually find them in Panucherias; fast food type restaurants.
7) Panuchos

Panuchos are like a cousin to Salbutes. They are made exactly the same way except that Panuchos have tortillas filled with refried black beans.
8) Pescado Tikin-xic

In Yucatan Mayan the word Tikin-xic means "dry fish". Pescado Tikin-xic is a whole fish prepared and marinated with the classic achiote paste, adobo and bitter oranges. To cook, its wrapped in banana leaves and put in an earthen oven.
9) Pan de Cazón
Pan de Cazon-1

Pan de Cazón is another dish you must try even though you might be afraid of one of the surprises inside! This casserole like delicacy is prepared the same way you would make lasagna, but with different ingredients. Tortillas, black beans, refried beans, and the main ingredient… shark!
10) Tamales

In the Yucatan Peninsula they put a spin on their Tamales. Normally Tamales consist of corn-based dough stuffed with meats, cheeses, vegetables or fruits and then wrapped in dried corn husks. Now, what makes the ones in the Yucatan Peninsula so different is that they are wrapped in banana leaves, not corn husks, which produce a different end result.
11) Papadzules
Taken in Mérida, Yucatán, México

Papadzules can be compared to enchiladas since both dishes look quite similar. However Papadzules are corn tortillas dipped in a pumpkin-seed sauce and filled with chopped hard-boiled eggs. A great option if you want to try a lighter plate.
12) Kibis
Image Source: pricetravel pictures
Adapted from Lebanese culture, Kibis are a football shaped fried food. They are typically made of rough ground wheat which is then filled with different meats and cheeses. To finish it off, it is deep fried and topped with shredded cabbage, pickled red onion and jalapeño.
13) Arroz con Pulpo

Another light and refreshing food to try in the Yucatan Peninsula is Arroz con Pulpo. This warm salad consists of rice, chopped octopus, red peppers, onions, herbs and sweet fruits like mango or papaya.
14) Chilaquiles

Chilaquiles are another dish that has received their own special touch from the Yucatan Peninsula. Baked tortilla chips with salsa (verde or rojo), onions, cheese, sour cream, eggs and sometimes beans are all ingredients in this dish. In the Yucatan Peninsula, Chilaquiles have a unique taste by including local spices and flavors.
15) Marquesitas

Date palms are one of the many genera of trees found above ground. Like the vast majority of above ground trees, date palm wood is brown and produces brown products.
Date palms bear dates that can be harvested by setting up a gathering zone. They can be eaten raw, cooked, or brewed into date wine. The flower stalks can also be harvested in the spring, but can only be eaten or cooked. Due to their narrow profile and the height that they grow to, date palms may not be worth harvesting unless nothing else is available.
Some dwarves like date palms for their fruit.

Wire Housings & Plugs
PCB connector housings provide a receptacle for connectors when they are mounted onto a printed circuit board. PCB connectors are used to link different printed circuit boards to one another, or to allow a cable to be connected to a PCB.
How do PCB connector housings work?
PCB connector housings are molded according to the type of PCB connector they are designed to fit. The connector is mounted on to the PCB using the PCB connector housing, and the housing provides some level of protection for the connection. PCB connector housings also include space for the PCB connector contacts, to allow the current of electricity to flow.
Types of PCB connector housings
The main way in which PCB connector housings differ is in the number of contacts they accommodate. This can range from just one contact to over 100. They can also be made from a range of materials, depending on the level of protection required for the connector.

Plant of the Week | King Tut papyrus
Home and Garden
On The House
Egyptian or King Tut papyrus, Cyperus papyrus 'King Tut', is an extraordinary tropical plant that has many uses in the garden. This plant is a member of the sedge family. Its stems are medium-green and triangular and grow upright in clumps. The stems are topped by long leaflets that look similar to sparklers. King Tut papyrus likes moist soil, although, once established, it does well in drier conditions. King Tut papyrus looks great as a focal point in a garden or in a container with shorter flowering annuals. King Tut papyrus can be seen in the containers in front of the Chase Community Garden Center on the Scotts Miracle-Gro Community Garden Campus at the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.

Family Presence During Resuscitation: Extending Ethical Norms from Pediatrics to Adults
Guest Post: Christine Vincent and Zohar Lederman
Paper: Family presence during resuscitation: extending ethical norms from paediatrics to adults
Family Presence During Resuscitation is an important ethical issue for discussion within the medical community. Currently, family presence is more commonly accepted in paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) than adult CPR. However, we argue that this fact is not morally justified and that the case for family presence during adult CPR is indeed morally stronger. In our paper we provide an ethical argument for accepting both family presence during adult CPR and pediatric CPR.
Arguments commonly used by ethicists and medical professionals to justify family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) in the emergency room revolve around scarce evidence of harm to patient outcome, strong evidence demonstrating benefits to relatives, and respect for patient's wishes. However, we argue that these three main reasons all seem to be stronger in the case of adult patients than pediatric ones.
Evidence demonstrating no negative effects of FPDR on patient outcome has mainly been found for adult patients. Furthermore, research showing benefits to relatives from being present is much stronger for adult patients as well. Lastly, the wishes and rights of adults are commonly much more respected compared to those of children, both in healthcare and generally. There is no reason why this should not extend to FPDR as well, given that the majority of patients prefer to go through traumatic life events surrounded by friends and family.
In our conclusion, we mention how family presence during any patient's resuscitation is a huge step from where society was decades ago.

The results are presented concerning the experimental studies of noise and vibration spectra during abrasive treatment of welded joints of the body and rod structures. Welding is related to one of the most popular technologies for joining metal structures. One of the mandatory steps after welding operations is the weld dressing. Mechanical grinding of the weld after welding due to its accessibility is very popular. The studies were carried out both at manual abrasive treatment of the welds, and on the flat-grinding machines in the open space, and in the conditions of industrial premises. In the course of experimental studies, dangerous and harmful production factors arising during welded structures processing were established. The spectral composition of the acoustic characteristics was identified. Based on the results of measurements, the empirical dependence was obtained related to the vibration reduction depending on the distance to the source on the rod elements and body structures. The obtained data are confirmed by the correctness of theoretical conclusions on the regularities of the formation of noise and vibration spectra, as well as the contribution of noise sources to the sound field at the operator workplace. The results of the research allow to confirm the appropriateness of the theoretical approach to the description of the regularities of the noise and vibration process.
The established regularities in the formation of noise spectra, as well as the fact that the difference in the calculated and experimental sound pressure levels actually correspond to the measurement errors, allow to perform acoustic noise protection systems at the design stage of similar technological processes in accordance with the sanitary noise norms at the operator workplaces.


In "The Dragon and the Wolf" (Game of Thrones, S07E07), Bran tells Sam that Jon is actually Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark's son, and that his name should've been Jon Sand. Of course, Sam corrects him by saying Jon isn't a bastard at all.
But is "Sand" really what Jon's last name would've been if Rhaegar and Lyanna wouldn't have been married? On what basis is a bastard named (last name)?
IF Jon had been a bastard and acknowledged by his father he would have taken / been given the common name for bastards in the region where he would have been born.
Lyanna gave birth in Dorne and the bastard's names go by region of birth in GOT.
 - Flowers: The Reach
 - Hill: The Westerlands
 - Pyke: Iron Islands
 - Rivers: The Riverlands
 - Sand: Dorne
 - Snow: The North
 - Stone: The Vale of Arryn
 - Storm: The Stormlands
 - Waters: The Crownlands
 - 1
 If that's the case, did Ned ever say that Jon was born in the north, hence naming him Snow? – SrB Aug 28 '17 at 18:25
 - 3
 I don't recall Ned ever saying where Jon was born. He just brought him home and claimed him as his bastard. No additional explanation would have been sought or required. – Paulie_D Aug 28 '17 at 18:27
 - Another strengthening point for the answer is Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes, which play off the Sand name for bastards. – DariM Aug 28 '17 at 22:08
Bastards are not named for where they are born but where they are raised.
Remember, Ned is claiming that Jon is his own child. While he was physically born outside of the North, he was brought to live in the North by a Northman. It has more to do with who the bastard was born to and where they live then where they are actually born.
Explanation of Bastard Naming:
Examples of bastard naming:
The surname a bastard received appears to be connected to the location the child is raised, though this is not a consistent rule. Because of this, bastards who are half-siblings might have different surnames. For example, King Robert I Baratheon's eldest bastard, born in the Vale, is called Mya Stone, while his bastard from the Stormlands (fathered on a noblewoman from the Reach) is called Edric Storm. However, whilst Aegor Rivers was raised at Stone Hedge in the Riverlands, his half-brother Brynden, was also called Rivers, despite having lived at least the first few years of his life with his mother at King's Landing in the Crownlands.
So it would have depended on which parent took custody of Jon.
If it had been Rhaegar, Jon would have likely been a Waters since Rhaegar would have taken him back to the Crownlands.
If it had been Lyanna, Jon would have likely still been a Snow since he would have been brought back to the North.
In the books it depends on the region of the family, but Targaryens had a special name for their bastards, that being Blackfyre, so i suppose Jon would be a Blackfyre since Rhaegar is his father.

 Nothing about this answer, down to the spelling of Jon, is correct. – Ghoti and Chips Aug 28 '17 at 18:15
 - I'm Sorry, i am not a english speaker, i'm my country we have weird tranlations, even for the names (i am asian) – Cheshire Aug 28 '17 at 18:21

 Yeah but, to be clear: In the books it depends on the region of the family Wrong, it depends on the region that the child is born or raised, irrespective of the noble parent's domain. Targaryens had a special name for their bastards, that being Blackfyre Wrong, Targaryen bastards had the same naming scheme as other houses' bastards (e.g. Aegor and Brynden Rivers). Blackfyre is unrelated and refers to a chosen name. Jon would be a Blackfyre Wrong, he would be a Sand, being born in Dorne. since Rhaegar is his father Wrong. Rhaegar being a Targaryen wouldn't make him a Blackfyre. – Ghoti and Chips Aug 28 '17 at 18:24

In the presented study an analysis of the irrigation regime (IR) and the obtained yield from the economic point of view was done, i.e. whether the applied irrigation regime was economically reasonable or not. The most important indicators characterizing the economic efficiency in celery production are: production (kg), production costs (lv), rate of profitability (%), production cost (lv/kg) and profit (lv/ha). The experiment was carried out in several variants under disturbed irrigation regime during 2010-2012 in the region of Plovdiv. From the economic point of view it is recommended celery to be grown under irrigation conditions and the irrigation application to be 130% ofm (optimal irrigation rate). The obtained production cost for that variant was the lowest – 0.60(lv/kg). The reduction of the irrigation rates was not profitable because with the reduction not much money could be saved. The obtained yield was vastly reduced and hence the profit per hectare as well. The profit earned under non-irrigated conditions was even negative – an amount equal to 2/3 of the spent production costs.

Beam Emission Spectroscopy, BES
Beam Emission Spectroscopy measures plasma turbulence. It registers the light emitted from the neutral particle beams which are injected into the plasma for heating or diagnostic. These particles collide with plasma particles, get excited and emit light. The intensity variations of these emissions reflect the local density fluctuations, from which plasma turbulence can be measured.

The application of non-destructive methods to assess the stability of the national nature monument of the Pravčická Brána Rock Arch, Czech Republic
Příspěvek v časopisu
- GEOBIBLINE - Fulltexts
The study contains the results of non-destructive research of the Pravčicka Brana Rock Arch which focuses on the structure and natural dynamics of this rock formation and its current level of stability. The main results include a description of the block fabric of the rock body and the nature of the contact zone between the arch beam and the southern pillar, discovery of relatively fresh secondary fissures and identification of zones with weakened strength within the sandstone massif. Also the local hydrodynamic regime was determined by a combination of geophysical methods. Long-term monitoring has demonstrated slow and irreversible body movements and reversible quasicyclical movements associated with changes in temperature on a scale of days up to years. The collected information was used to develop a structural deformation model of the arch body, including a description of the nature of the disintegration. The work was designed to fully respect the protective conditions of the site, to facilitate future follow-up activities and to monitor any possible negative changes in the rock massif.

Everything You Need to Know About Fulbright Creative and Performing Arts Awards
Jun 29, 2017 • Views -
When applying for a Fulbright U.S. Student Award for Study/Research, it can be difficult to determine if your proposal is an "Academic" or "Creative and Performing Arts" project. While there are many similarities between academic and arts-related awards, there are several key differences that make it critical to understand which category your proposed project best fits. Fulbright Program staff recently recorded a webinar to help explain some commonly misunderstood aspects of the Creative and Performing Arts application process. Here are some of the top questions asked by applicants and their answers. Visit the Fulbright Webinar page to access the full recorded seminar on the 2018-19 Arts Awards.
1. How do I know if I should apply as a Creative and Performing Arts candidate?
When determining whether your project proposal is academic or artistic in nature, you should ask yourself whether or not the project hinges on your artistic abilities and background. Arts-related projects should develop your craft while interacting with a larger question. Academic projects can have artistic themes but don't necessary depend on your abilities as an artist. For example, if you propose an independent study project on murals in Mexico where you'd be analyzing pieces and writing about art theory/history, you would apply as an academic candidate. If you proposed this same project but focused on learning local techniques and incorporating new skills into your personal murals/paintings, you would apply as an arts candidate.
2. Are there any different application components needed if applying for an Arts award?
When applying for a U.S. Student Program Study/Research award, you will have the option to select either "Academic" or "Creative and Performing Arts" as your award type. Creative and Performing Arts applicants are required to submit supplementary materials related to their field such as an artistic portfolio or previous work examples. Arts awards are accepted in the same countries and regions as academic study/research awards, although some countries haven't had as many arts applicants in the past.
3. Are arts-related Fulbright applications generally successful?
There is no definitive answer regarding the overall success rate of arts applications, although Fulbright has had a growing interest in supporting arts candidates. The number of arts applicants has decreased in the last few years. Even if a country hasn't supported any arts applicants in the past, it might not be because that country isn't interested in the arts; some countries might not have previously received strong arts applications.
 4. Are there any countries or regions that specifically need more arts-related candidates?
Yes! Many regions see a surplus of academic study/research applicants or English Teaching Assistant applicants. The East Asia/Pacific region is specifically looking for more arts-related study/research applicants.
5. If I'm applying for a Study/Research award for a graduate program abroad, how do I know if I might be considered an arts candidate?
Look at the materials that the university requires in your application. If you're applying for a graduate program that requires a portfolio or audition, then you should most likely apply as a Creative and Performing Arts candidate for your Fulbright Study/Research award.
6. Is creative writing a supported art form?
Yes, absolutely. A list of supported arts-related disciplines can be found on the Fulbright website.
7. What are the biggest mistakes that applicants make when applying for an arts award?
Fulbright sees two major flaws in many arts applications. The first is proposing to replicate the same projects or work that you're doing in the United States. For example, if an artist makes small pottery in the U.S. and proposes to make the exact same type of pottery in Morocco, Fulbright will want to see a greater challenge or transformational aspect to the proposal. Conversely, the other major flaw that Fulbright sees is related to feasibility. Many applicants propose projects that are completely different from their artistic backgrounds and fail to make strong cases about how they have sufficient training and experience to complete their projects. For example, Fulbright typically wouldn't find it feasible for an artist with a background in pottery to choreograph and direct a community dance showcase if the applicant has expressed no prior experience or training in dance or the performing arts. Fulbright is looking for applicants who have the solid foundation in their field needed to complete a project, but the intent to build upon their craft in a meaningful and logical way.
8. Can I apply to a country where I have limited language skills?
Every country has different language requirements. Some require fluency or intermediate skills while some countries have no language requirements. Even if a country has no formal language requirements, it's important for you to keep the feasibility of your project in mind. If you're doing a project where you need to interview many people, for example, you might need a more advanced set of language skills.
9. If I'm applying for the second time, am I obligated to provide new portfolio materials?
It depends on how your portfolio materials relate to the current project you're proposing. If you're applying for the second time, the committee might wonder about the projects that you've been working on in the year since you last applied. Strong applications show growth and development in artistic ability.
10. If I propose a project that affiliates with a specific university in a specific city, am I still able to explore my proposed topic in other regions of the host country?
While Fulbright wants you to have a "home base" within your proposed host country, most applicants travel within the country as needed to conduct other aspects of their projects. Fulbright wouldn't want you moving around every week, but in-country travel both related to your project and for cultural exchange purposes is highly encouraged.

The branch of surveying in which the position of the object is located by angular measurements taken by the compass is known as "Compass Surveying".
Purpose of Compass Surveying
When the area to be surveyed is relatively large, then the area cannot be divided into triangles.
For example:
Towns, colonies etc.
When the survey work is to be completed quickly
When the area is full of obstacles which prevent chaining.
Compass Surveying is unsuitable in areas having magnetic rock, iron core, power lines etc which attracts a magnet.
A traverse is formed by joining the points on the ground by means of series of connected straight line.
There are two types:
 1. Open traverse
 2. Closed traverse

IMSE Electronics Design - How to Start?
If you are an electronics designer, becoming an IMSE electronics designer is not a giant step. You already have basic understanding about the tools and methods for traditional electronics. These can be utilized in IMSE electronics, as well. In the big picture, the design flow is similar in PCB design and IMSE electronics design, but the details make the difference. In this post, I will explain the key differences.
1. Understand Electrical Characteristics of IMSE Materials
When you design the electrical characteristics of your layout, you need to recognize that the materials are not similar with a PCB. This also means that the circuit's electrical characteristics are different. The same layout, one made with IMSE and the other with a traditional PCB, has different electrical characteristics. Traces have big differences in terms of conductivity and are one of the most important design parameters. In addition, the plastics used in IMSE creating the mechanical structure are electrical components as well, and these are worth considering in the design.
2. IMSE Stack-up
An IMSE stack-up contains
A substrate film,
Traces, which are printed on top of the substrate and
Injection molding resin.
Calculation methods used in PCBs, for example, relating impedance, are not applicable for IMSE. IMSE sets certain limitations on how to build stack-up, but also what kind of a grounding structure we can use. Designing the IMSE stack-up is different compared to the PCB world, since the IMSE stack-up is also a mechanical structure of a product and typically an optical light guide, as well. So it is not designed only by an electrical engineer, but a mechanical engineer and an optical engineer together.
3. Design for Manufacturing
Materials used in IMSE are not similar to those used in PCBs. This means that the manufacturing methods are different. In IMSE, traces are printed with silk screen printing, the assembled electrical circuit is 3D formed and finally the electronics are encapsulated inside the plastic by injection molding. All of these impact on how to consider design for manufacturing. Make sure that your design can be manufactured by understanding the IMSE manufacturing steps.
4. One Integrated, Solid Piece
An IMSE part is an integration of electronics, optics, mechanics, graphics, antennas, etc. All disciplines are integrated into a one solid piece, and all have critical parameters, which need to be designed properly. Design work is a close collaboration between all engineers, and compromises should be done. Things become easier if all understand well what the technology limitations are and where we need to be strict and what items can be flexible.
These four key points set the foundation for IMSE electronics design. For a PCB designer, this is not a side step. It is just learning something new and different.

How much electricity do LED street lights use?
A high-pressure sodium street light can draw up to 1000 watts, and an incandescent light used in the 1900s needed 320 watts. Some LED street lights require only 73 watts and, according to the U. S. Department of Energy, produce a higher quality of light.
Do LED lights take up electricity?
LEDs consume far less electricity than incandescent bulbs, and decorative LED light strings such as Christmas tree lights are no different. … Safer: LEDs are much cooler than incandescent lights, reducing the risk of combustion or burnt fingers.
How much does it cost to run street lights?
Keeping this in mind, the running cost of the street light would be 40 x 100 x 0.12/1,000 = $0.48 an hour. On the other hand, if you use high-pressure sodium street lamps, halogen lamps, and metal halide lamps, the cost of running the street lights would be $1 an hour.

How much does a street light cost to run UK?
How much energy does a street light use? Typically, lights on residential roads contain a 35 watt lamp, while those on main roads contain a 150 watt lamp. In simple terms, the electricity consumed by an 'average' light will cost between £25 and £65 a year.
Who pays for the electricity for street lights?
Essential Energy is responsible for the maintenance and billing of around 160,000 streetlights for 85 Councils across NSW and southern Queensland, from Bega Valley in the south to Tweed Heads in the north and Broken Hill in the west.
How much does it cost to run a 1000w LED light?
You need to divide your wattage by 1,000 (1,000 kilowats in 1 watt). So, if we were to run a 1000 watt grow light 18 hours a day with the kWh rate we gave earlier, our formula would be: 1 x $0.1559 x 18 x 30 = $84.186/month.
Can you leave LED strip lights on all night?
How long does it take to install a street light?
On contrary, if you're going to do it by hand, this will take around 15-20 minutes. Beside this, you will also need at least four to five men to help you out in installing it properly. In short, the complete installation will not take longer than 2 hours if done properly and stepwise.

How long do street light bulbs last?
With proper maintenance and renewal, most street lights will last 20 years or longer. The pole that supports a decorative street light can last 90 years with proper maintenance.
How do you calculate lighting consumption?
To find the total wattage of a fixture, add the wattage of each light bulb together.
 1. fixture watts = bulb watts × bulb quantity.
 2. kWh = Power(W) × Time(hrs) ÷ 1,000.
 3. monthly kWh = kWh per day × 30.
 4. price = kWh × cost per kWh.
How many kilowatts does a street light use?
2004. "The lamps used in streetlights vary in both size and consumption (typically between 35 and 250 Watts) depending upon whether they are lighting a residential area, main road or a town centre." "It is generally assumed that the average wattage of a streetlight is about 80 watts." Outdoor Lighting Handbook.
How many street lights are in the UK?
In that case, we will have approximately 2.8 million street lights. Final answer: 2.8 million street lights are there in London.
How many street lights are there in the world?
There are currently 304 million total streetlights in the world. This number will grow to 352 million total streetlights by 2025.
Why do we pay for electricity?
How do street lights turn on?
The most commonly used component in streetlights is called a cadmium sulphide photoresistor, or a CdS cell for short. … When it gets dark, then not much current can flow to the electromagnet so the switch closes and allows electricity to flow to the streetlight, turning it on.

You need to set the EntityState of the Customer to Unchanged.
Something like
 context.Entry(customer).State = EntityState.Unchanged;
 context.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(userEntity.Customer, EntityState.Unchanged);
(depending on what kind of context you are using)

The Basics of Utah Conservation Districts - District Supervisors
Conservation District Supervisors
When the residents of a conservation district elect a supervisor, they delegate the responsibility of directing the conservation needs of the district's natural resources to them. Supervisors are leaders, using their own operations and activities to set a good conservation example to others, demonstrating conservation benefits.
Conservation district supervisors have the opportunity to take an active role as stewards - safeguarding limited natural resources. To effectively nurture conservation in their communities, they should understand their role and responsibilities as a supervisor. Their success depends on their vision of the conservation district movement, their knowledge of natural resource conservation and the available means to accomplish conservation district objectives.
Roles of District Supervisors:
- Be aware of the different natural resource needs within the district and actively seek input for solutions.
- Be an example of conservation management by practicing applicable conservation methods.
- Promote the ethic of good resource stewardship among all residents.
- Be familiar with laws, policies and program concepts of importance to the district.
- Manage staff, finances and property of the district (through zone coordinator).
- Regularly attend district meetings and functions, take an active role in overseeing your employees' activities, and generally make conservation district business a priority.

Server Programmer vs. Graphics Programmer
Learn what a server programmer does versus a graphics programmer from gaming industry expert Anthony Castoro in this Howcast video.
The difference between a server programmer and a graphics programmer is a
good question because they're really on opposite ends of the spectrum on
programming. A server programmer is someone who works on the logic and code
in an online game that is in the server set, and controls everything that
happens behind the scenes. Whereas, a graphics programmer is someone who works on
the code that runs on your computer or on your console and displays all of the
different graphics: controls the special effects, the animations, all the rendering that's going on.
If you're looking to be a programmer in the game industry, you
have to ask yourself, What you really want to be involved in? Are you really
good at 3D math? Do you know what left hand versus right hand means when
it comes to mathematical formulas, or do you really like Linux and
distributive computing and you really want to be in that part of the
If you're really thinking about getting in, and you have some aptitude for
software programming, there are a wide variety of things that you can do. You should really play to your strengths. The good news is; the pay is really
good on either side of the spectrum.

Ensembles apply to trajectories, not frames
It is common to initially think of ensembles as applying on a frame-by-frame basis. However, ensembles are only valid on trajectories, not individual frames. To explain this, let's consider a couple simple common misconceptions.
Combining volume ensembles doesn't combine volumes
It might seem like Ensemble(volume_A) & Ensemble(volume_B) should be the same as Ensemble(volume_A & volume_B). But this is absolutely not the case. We can see this easily by using PartOutXEnsemble as the example ensemble. PartOutXEnsemble(volume) creates an ensemble in which at least one frame must be outside of volume. So the difference between and-ing together the two ensembles vs. and-ing together the two volumes can be described like this:
 - PartOutXEnsemble(volume_A) & PartOutXEnsemble(volume_B): there is at least one frame in the trajectory outside of volume_A, and at least one frame outside of volume_B. These two frames do not need to be the same frame.
 - PartOutXEnsemble(volume_A & volume_B): there is at least one frame which is outside of volume_A & volume_B, which is the intersection of volume_A and volume_B.
Note that the second case does NOT mean that a single frame is simultaneously outside of both volume_A and volume_B: it is outside the intersection, not the union. If what you want is a ensemble of trajectories which contain at least one frame that is simultaneously outside of volume_A and outside of volume_B, you can write that as PartOutXEnsemble(volume_A | volume_B).
A trajectory in 'PartOutXEnsemble(volumeA & volumeB)' but not in 'PartOutXEnsemble(volumeA) & PartOutXEnsemble(volumeB)'
The above trajectory is in PartOutXEnsemble(volume_A & volume_B) but not in PartOutXEnsemble(volume_A) & PartOutXEnsemble(volume_B). To be in that ensemble, it would need to have a frame in the red area, or the outside both volumes in the white area. The volume given by volume_A & volume_B is the purple area, and some frames are outside of that.
Complementary frames do not generate the logical inverse ensemble
Another case where your intuition can lead you astray is when thinking about complementary and inverse ensembles. For example, since InXEnsemble(volume) consists of frames inside of volume and OutXEnsemble(volume) consists of frames outside of volume, you might mistakenly think that InXEnsemble(volume) | OutXEnsemble(volume) allows all trajectories.
However, if you think about the whole trajectory, you'll see this is not the case. InXEnsemble requires that all frames be in the given volume; OutXEnsemble requires that all frames be outside the given volume. A trajectory tested with InXEnsemble(volume) | OutXEnsemble(volume) must satisfy one of the two ensembles: either all frames inside or all frames outside. It can not include a transition across edge of the volume.
OutXEnsemble is complementary to InXEnsemble in the sense that OutXEnsemble(volume) == InXEnsemble(~volume), but OutXEnsemble(volume)!= ~InXEnsemble(volume). This again comes back to the statement in the previous section that combining volume ensembles does not combine volumes, because InXEnsemble(volume) | InXEnsemble(~volume)!= InXEnsemble(volume | ~volume).
To find the actual logical inverse of an ensemble, we should return to its set-theoretic definition. For InXEnsemble, this is:
\[\forall t; x[t] \in V_x\]
where \(t\) is the time (frame number), \(x\) is the order parameter function which defines the volume, and \(V_x\) is the extent of the volume. To take the logical not of that, we apply the standard rules that \(\forall\) becomes \(\exists\) and \(\in\) becomes \(\notin\), giving us:
\[\exists t\ | \ x[t] \notin V_x\]
This is, of course, the definition for a PartOutXEnsemble. And if we think about this in words, it makes perfect sense: if the ensemble requires that all frames be in some volume, then the set of all trajectories which do not satisfy that ensemble would have at least one frame outside that volume.


The Invention Of A Handheld Electric Mixer
1889 Words8 Pages
In the beginning of time mixers were not electrical like they are now a days really easy for people to use. The egg beaters were hand cranked, Hand cranks don't require electricity, there is a handle you hold it with and a little knob that you twist so it could mix the ingredients together. In 1856, a Maryland Tinner named Ralph Collier was the man who invented hand cranked egg beaters. The hand cranked egg beaters were used by hand nothing electrical in them, but a more years went by people started inventing so much more mixers and they were electrical of different kind. A handheld electric mixer is basically an electrical mixer that has a handle and someone holds it while the mixer is mixing the eggs and other things. Mixers are of course something used in the kitchen and only the kitchen. People or chiefs use it for baking because it makes the dough in a better smoother texture than if it was hand mixed. A classical American mixer brand is Dover stamping company, the company bought the patent egg beaters in 1859. An American man named Rufus Eastman invented the first mixer which was in 1885. The first man to invent electric mixer was named Herbert Johnson that was in 1908. His whole idea started from basically watching television, there was a baker who was making dough with a spoon that is how his idea was formed. There were electrical mixers before but they were hand mixers that used electricity. The electric mixes he made were mostly for bakers with experience and

Armor Stand
Materials Workshops Labors
Armor stands are a type of furniture. Much like the weapon rack, the armor stand can be used to create a barracks. After being built (b-a), you may define the barracks dimensions (b-a, then +-). It can also be placed in a noble's room to appease them.
When used in a barracks designated for individual and squad equipment, dwarves will prefer to store their armor on stands instead of stockpiles. Doing so in concert with weapon racks will allow you to create centralized armories for your military.
Armor stands do not block dwarf movement.
Stockpile storage always takes priority over furniture, making armor stands all but useless for their practical purpose.

Wood-mosaic has a long history in the Levant, and it is of particular significance to artisans in Damascus. It is often created using a number of different woods, such as walnut, olive, eucalyptus, cherry, lemon, and rose woods. Mother-of-pearl can also be used. The woods are cut into strips and fitted together to create a design, forming long trunks stored by artisans for future pieces. The artisan will select the trunk to use and slice it, and this slice will then be inlaid into wood to create a geometric design. Detailed and intricate wood-mosaic has now all but disappeared as artisans produce less complex designs. In Jordan, a small community of wood-mosaic artisans are practising and preserving the craft by passing their knowledge to a new generation of apprentices.

A knockout in boxing occurs when a boxer is hit by the opponent and isn't able to stand on their feet after the referee counts to ten.
This is a statistic in boxing where it keeps track of the boxer's record. It will go in order of their wins, losses, draws, and no decisions. Typically this is an important statistic because it helps boxers to understand where they rank against others.
Points are a statistic that is awarded to a boxer from a single judge.
In boxing, a streak is a statistic that keeps track of how many matches a boxer has won or lost in a row.
A disqualification in boxing is when a boxer has committed several fouls, a major infringement, or is not following the rules.
A Technical Knockout occurs when the fight is stopped for reasons outside of the norm (a knockout, a round being over, etc.). Instead, the referee or doctor decides that the match needs to be stopped.
This is a statistic of boxing that occurs when an opponent is struck by their opponent and their knee or glove touches the mat.
This is a statistic in boxing that occurs when a boxer breaks the rules of boxing. If rules are repeatedly being broken in a match, it can lead to a boxer's points being deducted.
Beaten Opponents
This statistic shows how many opponents a boxer has beaten.
This statistic shows how many fights a boxer has been in.
Beaten Champions
This statistic shows how many opponents a boxer has beaten that have been highly ranked or that have been champions for their weight class.
Unanimous decision in boxing is when all of the judges decide the same boxer wins the match.
Split Decision in boxing occurs when one judge believes one boxer won, but two judges thought the other boxer won.
Majority Decision in boxing is when one of the judges saw neither of the boxers win, but 2 of the judges saw one boxer win.
Technical Decision is a statistic in boxing where an accidental foul has been committed. This causes the fight to be paused. If there are at least four rounds that have been completed, the boxer who has the most points from the judges will be declared the winner. On the other hand, if the both boxers have the same amount of points after four rounds, then the match is concluded as a technical draw. But, if four rounds have not been completed, then the match is concluded as a no decision.
No Decision in boxing can also be called no contest. This statistic occurs when a fight is wiped off the record. This occurs in unusual circumstances such as when a boxer isn't following the rules, police get involved, or there is bad weather.
Referee Technical Decision is a statistic in boxing where a boxer typically decides in-between rounds that they no longer want to continue the fight. This can occur if the boxer doesn't have a desire to compete or it is decided that their safety is at risk.
A draw in boxing is when there is no winner; it can be compared to a tie. There are several types of draw. One can occur when all the judges think it is a draw between the boxers, and another is when all of the judges conclude to different outcomes (win, loss, and draw). Lastly, there is another kind of draw, and is called a majority draw. There are two ways this could happen. For one of them, it can occur when two judges decide there is a draw and one judge decides there is a win. For the other majority draw, two of the judges would decide there is a draw, and one judge would decide it is a loss.
This is a statistic in boxing where a boxer outscores his opponent. This can happen due to the individual landing more punches or blows against the opponent.
Weight is a statistic in boxing that helps determine the weight classes. When two boxers compete against each other they have to be in the same weight class. There is minimum weights (105 pounds), light flyweight (108 pounds), flyweight (112 pounds), super flyweight (115 pounds), bantamweight (118 pounds), super bantamweight (122 pounds), featherweight (126 pounds), super featherweight (130 pounds), lightweight (135 pounds), super lightweight (140 pounds), welterweight (147 pounds), super welterweight (154 pounds), middleweight (160 pounds), super middleweight (168 pounds), light heavyweight (175 pounds), cruiserweight (200 pounds), and heavyweight which there is no limit to the weight.
Punch Totals
This statistic keeps track of the total number of punches thrown by the boxer. This statistic isn't used very often, but it is important to know the average of punches thrown for each match.
Power Shots Landed
This statistic is used in boxing to calculate the power shots that are thrown by a boxer. This statistic helps to separate the punches that add to the boxer's points from jabs.
Percent Landed
This statistic records the amount of punches that have accurately hit their opponent. It measures the punching accuracy and punches that have resulted in scoring opportunities.

Working with Macromedia Fireworks MX buttons and navigation bars
Macromedia Fireworks MX is the ideal tool for creating and maintaining navigation bars. Using instance-level properties, you can define a number of characteristics for individual buttons without affecting other buttons. Instance-level properties also enable you to make modifications to a button without breaking the link between the button instance and the original button symbol. This simplifies the web design workflow by saving time and gives you great flexibility when designing navigation.
Instance-level properties eliminate the difficulty you might have experienced if you used previous versions of Fireworks to create navigation bars. Whenever you made any instance different from the others (by defining different text on each button, for example), a message box appeared that asked if you wanted to break the link between the instance and its button symbol or if you wanted to make the change to all instances. While breaking the link between instance and symbol gave you flexibility in the design of your buttons, it made maintenance difficult because no longer could you make a global change using the button symbol.
By completing this tutorial, you'll learn about instance-level and symbol-level properties for Fireworks MX buttons. You will create and modify a navigation bar, export it, and then test it in a web browser. If you have a copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, you'll also explore what happens to a Fireworks navigation bar when opened from within Dreamweaver MX.
Before you begin, preview the file that you will create.
To complete the tutorial, you'll need the following source file:
Download the Windows source file (112K)
Download the Macintosh source file (116K)
When the file decompresses, a folder named nav_buttons is created on your system.
If you have trouble downloading or decompressing the file, see TechNote 13686.
Note: If you plan to perform the optional, last procedure in this tutorial (to examine the end result in Dreamweaver), it's best to copy the nav_buttons folder into a Dreamweaver site folder on your system, to ensure that Fireworks and Dreamweaver integration will function properly. See Dreamweaver Help for information about creating a site folder.

Creating a Plot Plan in Home Designer Pro
| Reference Number: KB-00576 Last Updated: 05-28-2014 12:57 PM
The information in this article applies to:
I would like to know how to create a plot plan in Home Designer Pro. How is this accomplished?
Once you have created a floor plan, you are probably ready to create your plot plan. Use the following procedure to learn how to create a basic plot plan, then take what you learn and apply it to your own design.
To begin creating a plot plan
- Launch Home Designer Pro, and select File> New Plan.
- Next, select CAD> Lines> North Pointer, then click and drag a North Arrow straight up in your floor plan view.
- Next, select CAD> Points> Place Point, and click one time to place a point to the lower left as a start point for the property line.
The entire property line may be relocated later, so don't worry about exactness at this time.
- Once the point is on the screen (it should look like an x), select CAD> Lines> Input Line to display the New CAD Line dialog.
- Click on the Num Style button to display the Number Style / Angle Style dialog, and make the following changes:
Note: These settings only apply to numbers displayed in the specification dialogs and status bar. They do NOT apply to objects display in plan and other view windows.
- Under Number Style, move the radio button to Decimal Feet.
- Under Angle Style, move the radio button to Quadrant Bearing.
- Click OK to return to the New CAD Line dialog.
- In the End Point section of the dialog, make the following selections:
- Click the radio button beside Relative to Start Point.
- Place a check in the box beside Polar.
- Next, using the numbers that follow, enter the information to define the property line.
Press the Next button to stay in the dialog to enter the next value.
Distance = 122.21', Angle = N82° 49'E
Distance = 98.75', Angle = N2° 17'W
Distance = 143.56', Angle = N87° 47'W
Distance = 122.33', Angle = S12° 20'E
The above coordinates serve as an example only. Use these coordinates to learn how to create a plot plan. Once you understand the process, you can substitute in your own coordinates.
- Press OK after entering in the last value to close the dialog and return to floor plan view, where we can see the polyline we created.
- Next, use the Select Objects tool to select the polyline you created, and click on the Open Object edit too to display the Polyline Specification dialog.
- Go to the Line Style panel, and in the lower right of the dialog in the Display Options category, check the boxes beside Show Length and Show Angle then click the OK button to return to your floor plan view.
Note that it defaults to having lengths of inches and angles in regular degrees. Most property lines are shown in bearings and decimal feet.
To change the display to decimal feet and bearings
- Select Edit> Default Settings.
- Expand the CAD category, select General CAD, and click on the Edit button.
- In the CAD Defaults dialog:
- Under Display Line Angle as, select Quadrant Bearing.
- Under Display Line Length as, move the radio button to Decimal Feet.
- Click OK to apply the change and close the CAD Defaults dialog.
- Click Done to close the Default Settings dialog.
- In Home Designer Pro 2012 and newer, to increase the size of the Length and Angle displayed on your Plot Plan polyline, select Tools> Display Options.
- Navigate down to the CAD, Default layer, click to highlight its name, and use the Text Style drop down menu to select the Plot Plan Text Style and click OK.
Now the property line should display properly.
If you want to add details such as the property offset, now is the time to make these changes.
To create setback lines
- Select Edit> Preferences and under the Edit category, select Behaviors.
- Under Edit Type, move the radio button to Concentric, and in the Jump field, type in the setback distance required by your local planning department, such as 10'.
- Click OK to close the Preferences dialog and return to floor plan view.
- Using the Select Objects tool, click the plot plan polyline to select it, then click the Copy/Paste edit button.
- Place your cursor over a corner edit handle, click and drag towards the center of the polyline until a copy of the polyline appears inside.
- Select the inner polyline and click the Open Object edit button to open the Polyline Specification dialog.
- On the Line Style panel, select a dashed line style from the drop-down list, then uncheck Show Length and Show Angle, and click OK.
- When you have finished creating your concentric copy, select Edit> Edit Behaviors> Default to restore the default edit behavior.
- Finally, select CAD> Points> Delete Temporary Points to remove the point that we started our plot plan polyline from.

I'm Swiss and I've been drinking water from mountain streams all my life, without any altitude restriction, while observing three basic rules. You can drink the water if:
 - the river is small enough to jump across it
 - there is no cattle (alpage) above, where cows, goats and sheep may poo into the water
 - there is no human settlement above
Drinking this water is one of my favourite things when hiking and I mostly go hiking carrying only a minimal amount of water to drink on the peaks where there are no rivers or sources. I hike often (in Ticino) and managed to survive for 44 years :-)

If the river is small enough? Why? I think it shouldnt be too small because of pollution. – Wills 19 hours ago
I suppose you mean outside of village, so you are talking about streams and sources. In any alpine areas (France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria) I drink water unfiltered when I assume that there are no alps (place with cattle during summer) upstream, which worked for me. Of course you usually cannot be 100% sure about it, but almost so. If there is cattle upstream, you have a quite a chance of getting diarrhea. I did it twice until now when I was just too thirsty and once came to regret that decision :)
Many people attribute diarrhea to glacier water, which I cannot confirm. Unless you drink it constantly, the lack of minerals is not a problem either.
For dwells in towns in Switzerland you can drink always unless there is a sign telling you otherwise. Sometimes such a sign is present as the water is not officially tested, that also very often the case in alpine huts, while the water is fine. But you cannot know, so unless you have somebody trustful to advice you, keep away.

Local Assets
Components usually need assets, such as images, videos or any kind of data files, Stencil includes certain features to make this task easy.
Component's assetsDirs
Lets dive in and look at an example of how to use local assets:
Below is an example of your Component's folder structure containing the component, the stylesheet, and an assets directory.
Below is the stencil-asset.tsx file which will correctly load the assets based on a property called src.
import { Component, Prop, getAssetPath, h } from '_USER_/core';
 tag:'stencil-asset',
 styleUrl:'stencil-asset.css',
 assetsDirs: ['assets']
export class StencilAsset {
 _USER_() image = "sunset.jpg";
 render() {
 return
As you can see from this example, the component decorator has the assetsDirs property, which points to the./assets folder, this instructs the Stencil compiler to copy that folder into the distribution folder (dist or www).
Then, within the component's logic, the getAssetPath function (imported from _USER_/core) is used to determine the absolute path from where the assets should be loaded from.
Use Cases
Some use cases we have come up with are:
 - Loading from a collection of SVGs
 - Loading and applying fonts on demand
 - Loading images or videos

Unanswered: Checking text box text against original
Wondering if anyone can help me with this?
I have a text box on a products form that allows a user to edit the current product details, one of these details is the total number of products received to date.
If the user edits this text box then they can set this value equal to less than the original value. I want to make sure that whatever number they enter, it is greater than the original value that was in the text box.
If it isn't i want to be able to display a message box telling them this.

A Counterweight is an accessory sold by the Traveling Merchant and the Skeleton Merchant. They fire a second yoyo-type projectile after hitting an enemy with a Yoyo that travels towards the Yoyo, then arcs over the player.
There are 6 variants, and all function identically. Counterweights can also be used to craft a Yoyo Bag.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Counterweights are real-world yo-yo accessories used to aid in tricks where the yo-yo is swung from the middle of the string rather than its end. Real-world counterweights are often patterned after (or made out of) polyhedral dice, and Terraria's follow suit: the Blue and Red Counterweights are four-sided (tetrahedral) dice, the Purple and Green Counterweights are six-sided (cubic/hexahedral) dice, and the Black and Yellow Counterweights are twelve-sided (dodecahedral) dice.

Mason's Line - A Detailed Guide
Mason's line is a product used by professional mason's every day. Also known as the mason's twine, it is one of the most important tools that never get enough credit. When using a mason's line, you do not need to use other leveling tools, which speeds up the process. Plus, when used correctly, it gives a straight line for accuracy while laying blocks or bricks.
In this article, we'll talk about what is a mason's line, how to use it, and everything in between. So, please keep reading to know more about it!
What is Mason's Line?
Mason line is a product used to make straight lines and a leveled surface. It is useful when laying patios, posts, footings, and more. The product is necessary during such jobs as you will no longer need to pick up the level numerous times. Another excellent part about this twine is that it won't sag like other twines.
What are the Characteristics of a Good Good Mason Line?
The mason line is a crucial tool to get straight lines. So there are obviously some important things to keep in mind.
Firstly, the line that you'll be using in laying bricks should be 100% nylon. It won't mildew and will also be less affected by humidity and moisture. The line should also be alkali and abrasion resistant so that it doesn't get damaged by other tools.
In addition, tight and consistent braiding will make it easy to use the line. Precisely, the tighter the braid, the stronger the mason line
Along with this, the mason line should be consistent in color. It should be clearly visible in all types of work conditions. Remember, nylon lines without a consistent color throughout the roll becomes difficult to use and hard to see.
When buying a mason line, don't look at it just like any piece of string but as an important tool. So, focusing on the quality and color of the line is crucial.
How to Use a Mason Line Correctly?
It's essential to use the mason line correctly to get a straight wall. Here are a few easy steps you can follow that will help you in doing the same.
Step 1
First of all, you need to brace and level a 2-4 inch corner pole.
Step 2
The next thing to do is slip your braided mason's line into the line block's groove.
Step 3
Wrap the mason line around the line's notch twice and then slide it into the groove again.
Step 4
Now, face the hook of the mason line towards the rear corner of the cement block and hook the line block over the outside of the block.
Step 5
Run the line to the next corner. Make sure that your line is taut and close to the block you're laying. At the same time, you should have enough space to wipe off extra mortar without bumping the line.
Step 6
Now lay your line in a way that the top of the block matches the established line. Follow this line as you lay and slide the line blocks as you build the wall.
Step 7
Check the wall periodically with a level to ensure that the work is plumb.
Final Thoughts
The mason line is indeed an important tool. It saves valuable time as you don't have to use leveling tools often.
The majority of the bricklayers have experienced unraveling and sagging mason's line while laying bricks. Unfortunately, you could waste valuable time correcting the problems caused by a poor quality mason line. You can prevent this by using a premium quality line.
Make sure to buy the mason line from a reputed vendor and look for the material and consistency of color to prevent costly mistakes.

text: OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of increasing gas prices on mortality. METHOD: We developed a simulation-based partial equilibrium model that estimated the public health effects of a 20% rise in gas prices. Estimates on price elasticity for gasoline, price elasticity of motor vehicle crashes, relations among gasoline use, air pollution, and mortality were drawn from literature in economics, epidemiology, and medicine. RESULTS: For sustained 20% increases in gasoline prices over 1 year, and assuming other prices and factors were constant, we estimated: 1994 (range, 997 to 4984) fewer deaths from vehicle crashes and 600 (range, 300 to 1500) fewer deaths from air pollution. Combining both, we estimated 2594 fewer deaths. A Monte Carlo simulation involving varying assumptions on elasticities and relations indicated that 95% of the combined reduction in deaths was between 1747 and 3714. CONCLUSION: Results suggest that high gas prices have public health implications.

Scheduled 3-D Recording with MATLAB
This topic describes how to schedule the recording of a 3-D animation using the MATLAB® interface for a virtual world that is associated with a Simulink® model. You control the animation file recording by presetting a time interval. The Simulink 3D Animation™ software records the animation during this interval in the simulation. In this example, the timing of the recorded animation file derives from the simulation time. One second of the recorded animation time corresponds to one second of Simulink time.
This procedure describes how to create a virtual world 3D animation file name with the default name format.
Run the Simulink model for associated with the virtual world.
The Simulink 3D Animation Viewer for that model is loaded and becomes active. If the viewer is not displayed, double-click the Simulink® 3D Animation block in the Simulink model.
To work with the virtual world associated with model, from the MATLAB interface, retrieve the virtual world handle. Use the
If the result indicates that only one
vrworldobject is in the workspace, assign its handle directly to a variable. Type
myworld = vrwho;
If multiple virtual worlds are listed, select which of these virtual worlds you want to manipulate. To select the virtual world, you can use indexing or a selection method using a string comparison of virtual world descriptions. For the indexing method, type
worlds = vrwho; myworld = worlds(1);
Direct the Simulink 3D Animation software to record the animation on a schedule by setting the
Direct the Simulink 3D Animation software to record the animation in a virtual world 3D format file.
Select the start and stop times during which you want to record the animation. For example, enter
5as the start time and
15as the stop time.
Ensure that the recording start time value is not earlier than the start time of the Simulink model; the recording operation cannot start in this instance. If the stop time exceeds the stop time of the Simulink model, or if it is an out of bounds value such as a negative number, the recording operation stops when the simulation stops. The recording can be slow.
Run the Simulink model. From the Simulation menu, select Mode > Normal, then click Simulation > Run. Alternatively, if you are using the Simulink 3D Animation default viewer, you can run the Simulink model with one of the following from the viewer.
From the menu bar, select the Simulation menu Start option to start the simulation.
From the toolbar, click Start/pause/continue simulation to start the simulation.
From the keyboard, press Ctrl+T to start the simulation.
The simulation runs. The Simulink 3D Animation software starts recording when the simulation time reaches the specified start time. The software creates a file

Nis either 1 or more, depending on how many file iterations you have.
When you are done, stop the simulation. You can use one of the following from the viewer.
From the menu bar, select the Simulation menu Stop option to stop the simulation.
From the toolbar, click Stop simulation to stop the simulation.
From the keyboard, press Ctrl+T to stop the simulation.
Close and delete the objects if you do not want to continue using them.
