I want to do some math like plus, minus etc. with decimal values.
So i wrote two functions;
function to_decimal(i){
 var $dec = parseFloat(i);
 return $dec.toFixed(2);
function calc_price(){
 var $t = $('_TAG_.total').text();
 var $total = to_decimal($t);
 $('_TAG_ ul li').each(function(){
 var $p = to_decimal($(this).find('.item_price').text());
 $total = $total + $p;
 $t = $('_TAG_.total').text($total);
But these functions not working correctly i think because the result is returning string like 0.0010.30
Where is the problem?

toFixed returns a string. – Felix Kling Jul 27 '11 at 13:43

You need to add a + infront of that statement and you're fine:
return +$dec.toFixed(2);
That will convert the string into a number. If the string cannot get converted, it'll return the NaN value.

As an equivalent alternative, I often use $dec.toFixed(2) * 1 instead (multiplication by one). I feel like I'm more likely to notice my intent later; the + can be hard to miss. – lwburk Jul 27 '11 at 13:50
Instead of:
return $dec.toFixed(2);
return Math.round($dec*100)/100;
share|improve this answer
The toFixed method returns a string. Any mathematical operation that doesn't affect the output can be used to convert the string to a number (except addition, whose operator unfortunately doubles as the string concatenation operator):
$dec.toFixed(2) - 0
$dec.toFixed(2) / 1
$dec.toFixed(2) * 1
These are the fastest methods. However, if speed is not a concern (and it probably isn't when performing a small number of operations) then the clearest, most-readable method to convert a string to a number is the Number constructor:
Edit: The performance information above may no longer be universally true. The Number constructor is indeed considerably slower than each of the alternatives in IE 7.0 and Firefox 5, but actually performs the best in Chrome 12.0.742.

Overview of Architectural Survey Program
Maine's architectural survey program began in 1972. Since then, the effort to catalogue and document the historic human-made environment has continued to be a central goal of the Commission's mandate with more than 21,700 properties surveyed to date. The survey component of the overall preservation planning program is a vital one. Surveys document at a variety of levels the historic human-made environment of our communities. This in turn enables us to identify those properties which merit nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and to thereby extend protection to those resources.
CONSULTANTS AND SURVEYORS…
Looking for guidelines for survey activities in Maine?
In addition to geographic based surveys, the Commission has also undertaken theme based survey projects to identify specific property types on a state-wide or regional basis. In the past, theme-based projects have included an inventory of designed landscapes, railroad related buildings, shoe-industry related buildings, sporting camps, textile mills, motor courts, and historic highway bridges, the latter undertaken by the Maine Department of Transportation. Future areas of study will focus on Grange Halls, post World War II commercial and residential architecture, automobile-related resources, and boys and girls summer camps.
One of MHPC's focuses in recent years has been the recordation of agricultural outbuildings and historic farmsteads. These resources are rapidly disappearing from Maine's landscape, and the survey of these properties have resulted in a greater understanding of the state's specialized agricultural buildings and landscapes. This effort will aid in the development of agricultural and rural historic district listings in the National Register.

Who can undertake a survey?
What is recorded in a survey?
Properties over 50 years old, including, houses, barns and farms, churches, public buildings, schools, commercial structures, industrial structures, cemeteries, landscapes. Also cultural features, including tree lines, stone walls, and town pounds.
How is survey linked to the National Register?
The information collected during an architectural survey forms the basis for determining the eligibility of a National Register of Historic Places historic district. They provide visual, structural, and historical information that can be evaluated against the National Register criteria; they help to identify trends in style and design; chart neighborhood evolution; and illuminate structures or residences of significant historical importance.

Many colors, one rainbow; many cultures, one family.
The Brooks Global Studies Extended Year Magnet is the only school in the Guilford County school system without a specific attendance zone. Parents and students from throughout the system may choose to attend Brooks -- and more of them are choosing it. Opening in 1991 with 80 students, more than 300 students enrolled at the start of the 1993 school year, and more remained on a waiting list.
Three distinctive features make Brooks stand out:
Preliminary investigations by two psychologists from Loyola University of Chicago provide encouraging evidence that the longer instructional year pays off. Children receive an additional six weeks of instruction, with breaks provided periodically throughout the year and the school closed for two weeks during the summer. Field trips, guest speakers, and weekly foreign language instruction are emphasized during the program.
According to Loyola researchers Julie Frazier and Frederick Morrison:
Although these findings are encouraging, it is difficult to disentangle them from the school's unique curriculum which emphasizes, in the words of school principal Tony Meachum, that "just as many colors make one rainbow, many cultures make one national family."
School officials believe that rapid improvements in technology and communications make learning about the world and human cultures essential for today's young people.
The global studies program emphasizes the five major geography themes developed by the National Geographic Society: location (exactly where on the earth's surface places are found); place (the physical and human characteristics of specific places that set them apart from others); relationships within places (how humans interact with their environment, for both good and bad); movement (how people, products, information, and ideas within and among countries change); and regions (how regions form and develop).
Brooks officials stress that their after-school programs are not merely custodial care. After-School Enrichment Services (ACES) are available for a fee to interested parents and offer an impressive structured balance of academic, physical education, and recreation programs. Academic work includes homework time, work on basic skills, curriculum-related games, critical thinking skills, and silent reading time. The remainder of the time is devoted to physical education, games and other recreational activities such as movies, arts, crafts, and music.

|The German Huguenot Museum in Bad Karlshafen|
History - 1. How the Huguenots got their name
1. How the Huguenots got their name
The term "Huguenot" is usually said to be derived from the German word "Eidgenossen" (eiguenot - confederates). In 1520 in Geneva the word was used to designate the early adherents of the Reformation, and later the followers of John Calvin.
Term of abuse for conspirators
In France the word "Huguenot" first appeared as a term of abuse in a letter written in Périgueux (in Guyenne) in 1551. The iconoclasts were described as "this vile race of Huguenots".
The derogatory word Huguenot was also applied to the Protestants in the area of Tours on the Loire, when in 1500 the Catholic party led by the Guise family claimed that the Huguenots had conspired to abduct the young king Francis II from his castle in Amboise.
A ghost called Hugo
Hugues Capet (941-996)
A contributory factor for the appearance of this term may have been a legend related in the town of Tours on the Loire. Legend had it that the ghost of the French king Hugo Capet flied (?) through the streets at night in the vicinity of the Hugo Gate.
As the Protestants held their services in secret at night, the townspeople called them "little Hugos" conspiring against the state and the Catholic Church.
An honourable name for French Protestants
Whatever is origin, from 1560 on "Huguenot" was the word used to designate the Protestants of France.
In the course of time the word "Huguenot" gradually lost its negative connotations and became an honourable name.

The following data is extracted from Genealogy and Biography of Ontario County, New York.
The surname Hayes is the plural form of an ancient word, Hay, or Haw, which means a fence, a hedge or a boundary, also a space enclosed, as a park or field. Its derivation can be traced to many European languages wherein both the primitive and secondary meanings are precisely the same. From this simple root have sprung the names of Hay, Hayes, Haywood or Heywood, Hayland, Greenhays and many others of a similar character. The name of Hayes is to be found both in England and Scotland, but is far more common in the former than it is in the latter country. The New England colonial records of the seventeenth century contain the names of four immigrants of this name : Thomas Hayes, of Milford, Connecticut (1641), descendants of whom removed to Newark, New Jersey; Nathaniel, who was of Norwalk. Connecticut (1651) ; John, of Dover, New Hampshire, who came from Scotland in 1680; and George, of Windsor, Connecticut, who, tradition asserts, was a brother of the preceding John. The Hayes of Canandaigua, New York, who form the principal subject of this article, are descended from the Windsor settler.
(I) George Hayes, who arrived in New England about the year 1680, and probably was about twenty-five years old at the time of his immigration, first settled in Windsor, Connecticut, whence he removed in 1698 to that part of Simsbury, Connecticut, which is now (1911)Granby. In a manuscript record written or dictated by his grandson, Ezekiel Hayes, of New Haven, he is referred to as follows: "Went from Scotland to Derbyshire, England, and lived with his uncle. He was anxious to see London, whither he went. Having received some account of America, he took passage for this country." George Hayes' residence in Simsbury was in the locality known as Salmon Brook, and he died there. September 2, 1725. Although he was not active in public affairs his name frequently appears in the early town records of Simsbury in connection with land transactions, assessments, "minister's rates, " etc., and from these it may be inferred that he was pious, thrifty and in every way a worthy citizen. His first wife, whose Christian name was Sarah and whose surname is illegible on the Windsor records, died early in 1683. and the children of this union died young. At Windsor, August 29, 1683, he married (second) Abigail Dibble, only daughter of Samuel, granddaughter of Thomas, and great-granddaughter of Robert Dibble, who arrived from England in 1635, settling in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Children, born in Windsor: 1. Abigail, August 31. 1684; married Paul Tompkins. 2. Daniel, born April 26, 1686. 3. Sarah, January 22, 1687-8; married John Gosard (or Gozzard), son of Nicholas and Elizabeth Gozzard, of Windsor. 4. Mary, born January 6, 1689-90; married, August 28, 1712, William Rice. 5. Joanna, born October 2. 1692; died after 1780; married James Hillyer, of Simsbury. 6. George. horn March 9, 1695. 7. William, born June 13, 1697, in Simsbury. 8. Samuel, mentioned below. 9. Thankful, born 1700-01 ; married, October 9, 1717, Nathaniel Holcombe. 10. Benjamin, born 1702-03. 11. Dorothy, 1706; married Abraham Dibble, her first cousin.

100 mile journey starts with 1 step
Business loves the idea of revolutionary radical improvement but turnaround efforts often fail during the early adoption phase. A better approach is through small incremental change improve one step of the process at a time.
We are built to resist radical change, all of us. Small incremental change overcomes this, it starts with the smallest of steps that gets around our fear response.
A fantastic example of the success of incremental change is the Olympics, in 2012 British Cycling's performance director Dave Brailsford went on BBC Breakfast and gave the game away.
"The whole principle came from the idea that if you broke down everything you could think of that goes into riding a bike, and then improved it by 1%, you will get a significant increase when you put them all together," he explained.
Everything was considered from washing your hands properly and reducing the risk of illness to having your own pillow to sleep on, there were no magic bikes or special wheels.
Yet in business when we talk about improvement we still think we are going to watch the process and find one big improvement to revolutionise the process.
Instead through understanding the entire process, breaking it down and improving each step by 1% when you run the process again you will have the improvements you are after. This is much more exciting because it means the team working with the current process can be the ones to make the improvements. Incremental improvement is also easier to sustain because:
- Fear is reduced
By involving the team, breaking down the process in to small steps and improving each step at a time it is easier for the team to accept and less likely to encourage a fear response
- Involving people shows you are listening
Asking the team to look at their process and then implementing the improvements they suggest shows you are listening and encourages a more supportive culture.
- Developing people
Giving the team time and skills to review the steps in the process and suggest small improvements will provide the team with desirable skills that can use when faced with process problems everyday
What are you waiting for? Small incremental change, one step at a time.


Increased risk of COVID-19 infection amongst smokers and amongst waterpipe users
Webinar #3 The Impact of Waterpipe Tobacco Smoking on Respiratory and Cardiovascular Health
October 15, 2019
Q & A on tobacco use, including waterpipe use and COVID19 in EMRO
March 13, 2020
1- Smoking and increased risk of bacterial and viral infections
Smoking increases the risk of both bacterial and viral infections.
It has been documented that smokers incur a 2- to 4-fold increased risk of invasive pneumococcal lung disease, a disease associated with high mortality. Influenza risk is twofold higher and more severe in smokers compared with nonsmokers.[i] In the case of tuberculosis smokers also have a twofold increased risk of contracting the infection and a 4-fold increased mortality.
The mechanism of increased susceptibility to infections in smokers is multifactorial and includes alteration of the structural and immunologic host defenses.
 - Structural changes: Tobacco smoke and many of its components produce structural changes in the respiratory airways. These changes include increased mucosal permeability, impairment of the mucociliary clearance, changes in pathogen adherence, disruption of the respiratory epithelium, and peribronchial inflammation and fibrosis..[ii]
 - Immunologic Mechanisms: Smoking weakens the function of body defense immune cells and the production of antibodies in humans and animals.[iii],[iv],[v]
Increased risk of Coronavirus infection amongst smokers
There is still no robust evidence to suggest an increased risk of infection amongst smokers; however, analysis of deaths from coronavirus in China[vi] shows that men are more likely to die than women, something that may be related to the fact that many more Chinese men smoke than women. Among Chinese patients diagnosed with COVID-19 associated pneumonia, the odds of disease progression (including to death) were 14 times higher among people with a history of smoking[vii] compared to those who did not smoke. This was the strongest risk factor among those examined.
2-Use of Waterpipe and risk of infection transmission
Practice of waterpipe use
Waterpipe smoking is usually practiced in groups. The hose is passed from person to person, and the same mouthpiece is usually used by all the participants. Most smoking sessions last 45 to 60 minutes but may also continue for several hours.
Even if the pipe and mouthpiece is only used by one customer at a time, it should be noted that waterpipes and hoses are generally reused by other smoking customers at the same day It is therefore, not surprising, that waterpipe smokers are exposed to microorganisms that may be harmful to health.[viii],[ix][x]
How do the waterpipes get contaminated with infectious microorganisms?
The risk of transmission of infectious microbial agents through smoking waterpipes is high
 - If mouth pieces are not used individually the microorganisms can easily pass from mouth to mouth.
 - smokers often cough into hoses and moisture in tobacco smoke promotes the survival of microorganisms inside waterpipe hose.
 - Furthermore, the use of cold water in the water chamber for a cold airflow may facilitate the survival of viruses and bacteria.
 - The spread of infectious diseases could also result from the uncontrolled, manual preparation of narghile.
Evidence of Infectious Disease transmission though waterpipe
Waterpipes and mouthpieces have been implicated in an outbreak of pulmonary tuberculosis in Queensland, Australia.[xi],[xii].El-Barrawy et al. [xiii] related infection with Helicobacter pylori to waterpipes smoking in Egypt. The risk of transmission of the hepatitis C virus through waterpipes smoking was also demonstrated by Habib et al. (2001).[xiv] Other viruses that can be transmitted are Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), herpes simplex virus and respiratory virus [xv]. Fungal infections have also been reported to be waterpipes transmitted diseases when a patient with acute myeloid leukemia showed invasive infection with Aspergillus sp.[xvi][xvii]
Measures were taken by some countries in view of the potential risk of COVID-19 infection though waterpipe use
Some countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region such as Iran, Kuwait, Pakistan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have banned the use of shisha in public places such as cafes, shisha bars or restaurants to avoid COVID-19 transmission.
3- Recommendations
 - Inform the public about the high risk of infection of COVID-19 when using waterpipe.
 - Complete ban of the use of waterpipes in all public establishments such as cafes, bars, restaurants, etc. with no exceptions even if the mouthpiece or hose is changed with each individual use. Avoid sharing waterpipe mouthpieces even in home settings.
 - Ensure the enforcement of the ban with adequate fines and penalties.
 - Inform the public about the increased risk of COVID 19 infection in smokers versus non-smokers.
 - Encourage smokers to quit smoking.

स्ट्रेचर is a मेडिकल उपकरण used for short-term carrying of patients who require medical care. Stretchers are primarily used in acute out-of-hospital care situations by EMS, military, and Search and rescue personnel.
स्ट्रेचरहरु can be equipped with a variable height lower frame containing wheels, tracks, or skids to allow the stretcher to be moved more easily. A simple stretcher does not have such a frame and therefore needs to be carried by two or more people. Despite these differences, their essential function remains the same.
They can often be referred to as a cot, litter, gurney, bed, cart, or (for bariatric stretchers) land barge.
इतिहास [सम्पादन गर्ने]
Stretchers have been used since antiquity, on battlefields and in emergency situations, where wheeled vehicles are hindered by rough terrain. In their simplest form, they generally consisted of a canvas sling with long edges sewn to themselves to form pockets through with wooden poles could be slid. This form was common with militaries right through the middle of the 20th century, and in disaster situations, where rapid triage and movement of patients based on severity of injuries is critical, they are still used by emergency response providers.
Many stretcher are referred to as "gurneys". The name gurney comes from its similarity to a horse-drawn cab patented in the U.S. in 1883 by J. Theodore Gurney.
स्ट्रेचरका प्रकारहरु [सम्पादन गर्ने]
- EMS stretchers used in ambulances have wheels that makes transportation over pavement easier, and have a lock inside the ambulance and seatbelts to secure the victim during transport. An integral lug on the gurney locks into a sprung latch within the ambulance in order to prevent movement during transport. Modern stretchers may often in have the addition of battery-powered hydraulics to raise and collapse the legs automatically. This eases the workload on EMS personnel, who are statistically at high risk of back injury from repetitive raising and lowering of patients. Specialized bariatric stretchers are also available, which feature a wider frame and higher weight capacity for heavier patients. Stretchers are usually covered with a disposable sheet or wrapping and cleaned after each patient in order to prevent the spread of infection. Shelves, hooks and poles for medical equipment and intravenous medication are also frequently included.
- Simple stretchers are the most rudimentary type. They are lightweight and portable, being made of canvas or other synthetic material suspended between two poles or tubular aluminum frame. Many are stored as disaster supplies and are often former military surplus.
- The folding stretcher, also known as a top deck or collapsible stretcher, is similar in design to the simple stretcher, but features one or more hinged points of articulation to allow the stretcher to be collapsed into a more compact form for easier handling or storage. Some models may even allow the patient to sit upright in a Fowler's or Semi-Fowler's position.
- The scoop stretcher is used for lifting patients, for instance from the ground onto an ambulance stretcher or long board. The two ends of the stretcher can be detached from each other, splitting the stretcher into two longitudinal halves. To load a patient, one or both ends of the stretcher are detached, the halves placed under the patient from either side and fastened back together. With obese patients, the possibility exists of accidentally pinching the patient's back when closing the stretcher, so care must be made not to injure them when carrying out this procedure.
- A reeves stretcher, reeves sleeve, SKED, or 'flexible stretcher' is a flexible stretcher that is often supported longitudinally by wooden or plastic planks. It is a kind of tarpaulin with handles. It is primarily used to move a patient through confined spaces (e.g. a narrow hallway), or to lift obese patients (reeves stretchers have 6 handholds, allowing multiple rescuers to assist extrication).
- The Stokes basket, also known as litter or rescue basket, is designed to be used where there are obstacles to movement or other hazards: for example, in confined spaces, on slopes, in wooded terrain. Typically it is shaped to accommodate an adult in a face up position and it is used in search and rescue operations. The person is strapped into the basket, making safe evacuation possible. The litter has raised sides and often includes a removable head/torso cover for patient protection. After the person is secured in the litter, the litter may be wheeled, carried by hand, mounted on an ATV, towed behind skis, snowmobile, or horse, lifted or lowered on high angle ropes, or hoisted by helicopter.
- The Nimier stretcher (brancard Nimier) was a type of stretcher used by the French army during World War I. The casualty was placed on his back, but in a "seated position", (that is, the thighs were perpendicular to the abdomen). Thus, the stretcher was shorter and could turn in the trenches. This type of stretcher is rarely seen today. (see a picture).
अरु प्रकारका स्ट्रेचरहरु [सम्पादन गर्ने]
With healthcare changing, a new type of 'hybrid' device is now being used by healthcare facilities. This hybrid device is referred to as a 'Transmotion.' A 'Transmotion' is a type of medical patient handling device that combines the following devices into one; a stretcher, a recliner chair, and a treatment or procedural table. Nursing back injuries are ranking at an all-time high, and healthcare is demanding a more integrated device like the Transmotion.

Intro: Simplest Flying Machine
The simplest flying machine, ever!
For this you'll require :
1.A plastic fan blade
2.A bit thick straw
Step 1: The Plastic Fan Blade
In the image is a plastic fan blade.
(I got my one form an old toy)\
Step 2: A Straw
A bit thick straw.
Make sure the thickness is such that it fits into the hole in the plastic blade.
Step 3: Assembling
Fit the straw in the plastic fan blade.
If there is a minor error, sealing tape, or glue might do the thing.
Step 4: Rotation
This step is important.
Make sure that you rotate the straw in the appropriate direction. Else (It doesn't hurt ;-) ) It might not fly!
The rotation should be such that it should push the air down.
Step 5: In Action (Done!)
(I admit that clicking this image was hard!)
After doing the above steps, you'll see your newly made "Simplest Flying machine"


Dissecting JQuery text()
Category:UncategorizedTag:,, :
An interesting question came up at work today. We had some existing code that was using the innerText dom method. It worked fine on IE, but not on Firefox (to be clear, I'm used to that working the other way around). If you look at QuirksMode you will see Firefox is the only browser that does not support this method as well.
Turns out if you use innerText on any dom element in IE you will get the text inside the element (in this case a span tag), but in Firefox you just get nothing. I mentioned that JQuery has a text method that does the same thing…but how did that work? I had to look that one up.
Step 1: Find the code
This is actually relatively easy if you know a bit about how methods can be added to objects. Turns out there are three ways to do declare a function in JavaScript – and 5 ways to call one. Anyway, search for "text:". This is what you should find around line 201 (as of JQuery 1.3.2)
 1: text: function(text) {
 2: if (typeof text!== "object" && text!= null)
 3: return this.empty().append((this[0] && this[0].ownerDocument || document).createTextNode(text));
 5: var ret = "";
 7: jQuery.each(text || this, function() {
 8: jQuery.each(this.childNodes, function() {
 9: if (this.nodeType!= 8 )
 10: ret += this.nodeType!= 1?
 11: this.nodeValue :
 12: jQuery.fn.text([this]);
 13: });
 14: });
 16: return ret;
 17: }
Step 2: Interpreting the code
Line 1 is the method declaration. We are attaching the method to jQuery.fn (line 35 in the document), which is using JavaScript prototype inheritance. The full line is "jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype = {". So jQuery.fn is extending all instances of the jQuery class type with the function defined with in the curly brackets {}.
If you look at the JQuery documentation you will notice there are two methods called text, one that takes a parameter, one that does not. You might assume this is the method that takes the parameter – actually, this single function handles both.
In JavaScript, according to JavaScript the Good Parts, what we call parameters, are arguments. You can retrieve arguments passed into a JavaScript function either by the named arguments passed in (the text argument) or via the arguments array (arguments[0]). Using the arguments array you can accept as many, or as few, arguments as you want.
Reading the setter (lines 2 and 3)
Crazy little think about JavaScript, declaring parameters is optional and so is passing them in. Using the line numbers in the code above as a guide: lines 2 and 3 are used if you pass in text to the method. If you did not pass anything into the text parameter, then you move on to line 7 (effectively).
Also note on line 2, the!== operator. In JavaScript there is a difference between!= and!==, and their opposites == and ===. The triple === checks the type as well as the value, whereas the == does not check type. So '0' == 0 returns true, where '0' === 0 returns false. Try to use === and!== instead of!= and ==.
On line 3 you see 'this' a lot. In this particular case, 'this' is a reference to the control you are setting the text of. First the element is being cleared, then an element with the text is being created and appended to the control.
A reference to the controls is being returned when everything is said and done.
Reading the getter (lines 4 – 16)
I'm starting on line 9 with the nodeType code. nodeType 9 is a comment, so that isn't something we want to change. Also nodeType 1 is an element. You would think we would want the text directly from an element type, but we don't, we want the 'text' nodeType (nodeType 3), which should be a child of an element node. So on line 12 you see a recursive call to the text method. Then, once the appropriate nodeType is found, nodeValue is called.
Line 7 and 8 are just there to loop through the multiple elements that a JQuery selector can return (Note: JQuery Selectors always return an array, even if only one item is returned).
OK, I hope you learned something from this, even if it is that JQuery can be opened up, and you can understand what is going on. Please leave a comment if anything I've written is in error.
On a side note, the innerText call that was causing trouble could have been replaced with a call to the JQuery text() method, but they went with innerHtml instead. Also, I did a quick search through JQuery to see if innerText was being used anywhere; it is, once, in a filter function that is part of the selector engine.

Inequality Unmasked: a new series on social justice in Europe

While some stories find themselves in the spotlight, others remain in the shadows. Covid-19 has worsened social divides that already existed between people of different origins, backgrounds, or gender before the crisis. Cafébabel is exploring this problem in a new long-form series.
For a long time we at Cafébabel have been publishing stories about unique European experiences: from promoting innovative solutions to social problems to answering questions raised by citizens across the continent. In these times of crisis and uncertainty, parts of the population are suffering disproportionately from the consequences of Covid-19. We have therefore set out to report on this phenomenon in the way we've have always striven to: up close, authentically, and in the field.
We plan to make 2021 the year of Cafébabel. That's why we're starting from the offset with a new series of long-form articles. Inequality Unmasked follows individuals who are fighting against social injustice and discrimination, and campaigning for a better and more dignified quality of life. We start with three articles that bring distinctive types of social inequality in Europe to light: How can we provide distance learning to children living in Roma camps in Italy? How do we protect the health of logistics personnel when, despite sanitary risks, their employers are asking them to work more and more? How are people that struggle to read or write supposed to thrive in an increasingly digitized world?
You can read all of these stories on the Inequality Unmasked site.

Also known as dark current noise. Part of the noise due to thermally generated free electrons. It is currently considered that thermal noise doubles for an increase of 8° of the ambient temperature. This noise is particularly visible in low-light.


text: Many state departments of transportation (DOTs) often use a subjective evaluation program to assess the condition of their roadway assets. Because pavement markings are typically only a small part of these assessment programs and because visual assessment is subjective, the ratings may not always be accurate in identifying roadways with inadequate markings. This research sought to evaluate the accuracy of visual assessments of pavement markings. The Texas Transportation Institute conducted two separate nighttime evaluations as part of a Texas DOT research project. The first evaluation was conducted on open roads, and the second was conducted on a closed experimental course. Subjective rating data were collected on pavement markings by several DOT evaluators. To analyze the data, researchers compared retroreflectivity measurements with subjective ratings of the pavement markings. For the first night study, the average subjective rating of each marking compared with the measured retroreflectivity resulted in a logarithmic R2 value of.818. The second night study resulted in a logarithmic R2 value of.821 before training and.809 after training. The data were also evaluated by marking color and evaluator experience level. Researchers found that average subjective ratings showed acceptable correlation with retroreflectivity measurements, but ratings could show large variations between individuals. The researchers recommend that subjective assessment be considered a viable option for evaluating pavement markings. They also recommend that for any assessment the evaluator be well trained or multiple evaluators be utilized, with reported ratings averaged to provide reliable results.

About This Class
Want to design a repeat pattern? Join thousands of successful Skillshare students who have learned how to create a seamless repeat pattern illustration with popular surface designer Elizabeth Olwen!
This 50-minute class is broken out into inviting, step-by-step lessons that clearly explain how to transform visual inspiration into a seamless repeat pattern design for use in countless projects. You'll learn how to:
 - Collect theme and motif inspiration
 - Hand-draw and digitize your imagery
 - Design your core pattern block
 - Transform your pattern block into a seamless repeat
 - Add final touches like color and effects
While a basic understanding of Adobe Illustrator is useful, the instructions are clear enough that many students have jumped straight in! Plus, the class includes a number of resources, links, and downloads to support you as you create your own pattern.
This a perfect introductory class for every designer, illustrator, and crafter looking to expand their skills into pattern design. Once you have your pattern, consider using it as digital desktop wallpaper, the base for an iPhone case or printed fabric, or even as inspiration for stationery. The possibilities are endless!
What You'll Learn
 - Introduction. Growing up in a home decked out in 1970s patterns, Elizabeth Olwen learned not to take for granted the surface design that most fail to notice day to day. In her digital art tutorial, you'll first learn what comprises a pattern "collection," starting with the "hero pattern" and then looking at some "secondary" and "blender" prints.
 - Collect inspiration. You'll see what Elizabeth looks to for inspiration. She'll teach you that you can use a variety of materials and media to create a collection of references, and she'll show you how to organize it.
 - Draw and digitize. You'll turn a hand drawing into a digital drawing in this part of the lesson. Following Elizabeth's lead, you'll pick out doodles to include in your pattern, draw them using the brush tool on your iPad, and then import those drawings into Adobe Illustrator.
 - Design the pattern block: center. Elizabeth will take you through some of her own patterns to show you principles like balance, flow, composition, scale, texture, and variety. You'll then apply those principles to your own pattern block in Illustrator, focusing on the center of the block and moving outward.
 - Design the pattern block: edges. There's just one rule when designing the edges of your pattern block. Whatever's on the top has to repeat on the bottom, and whatever's on the left side has to appear on the right. You'll learn how to make this happen in your pattern using Illustrator shortcuts.
 - Design the pattern block: color. When it come to pattern blocks, you don't want to be able to see where one block ends and the other begins once you've put multiple blocks together. In this lesson, you'll learn how to avoid seeing the block in your finished pattern using some expert-level tricks.
 - Color the pattern. While Elizabeth has a signature color palette she tends to use, you might want to explore a variety of colors for your 2D design. You'll learn some techniques for finding color groupings that work together and what it means to pair colors that "vibrate." You'll also learn how to select all of the elements that share the same color in your Illustrator layout.
 - Prepare the final files. You'll learn to prepare your files in such a way that makes them easily usable for yourself and clients. You'll find out how to create merged layers to flatten your work and turn it from strokes into shapes. Using masks, you'll turn your pattern block into an original layer, a merged layer, and a repeat layer, as having all three makes your design easier for potential clients to work with. Next, you'll have to decide where your pattern will go. This may involve creating mockups of your print on certain items, which Elizabeth will suggest you can make using stock images.
 - Final touches. It's almost time to get your drawing online! First, you'll learn to supplement the pattern you've made with a whole collection of corresponding prints, focusing on "blended" prints that serve as glue for separate patterns in your collection.

1. Preview: Hi I'm Elizabeth Olwen. I'm from Toronto Canada and I'm a surface pattern designer which basically means I create patterns for a living. I grew up in an apartment that was filled with patterns from the 1970s so everything was just like big bold print, and I had a real imprint on me growing up. So, I'm just super passionate about patterns I have been since as long as I can remember. In my Skillshare class, I'm going to teach you my design process from start to finish so we're going to start out with gathering inspiration, developing a mood board, drying and ultimately designing a repeat pattern in Illustrator. At the end of the class, you're going to end up with a pattern that you can use for any kind of product whether it's for yourself or professionally. You can send it out and get some tech cases printed or fabric or wallpaper and just see how that pattern can come to life in different formats. I'm really passionate about patterns, and I think they're kind of what make our world a more beautiful place. 2. Introduction: I'm from Toronto Canada and I'm a surface pattern designer, which basically means that I create pretty patterns for a living. So, I'm really passionate about patterns, so I'm really excited to have you here, so I can show you all how I do it. So, a bit about me before we move into the course content. I grew up in an apartment that was decorated in the '70s. So, there was all sorts of wild graphic prints around, it's like I have vivid memories of the orange floral drapes in my mom's kitchen, which matched our orange formica table, and all we had crazy tiles everywhere and it was just like a pattern filled world. At the time though, like in growing up I didn't even know you could do patterns for a living. I didn't know what a surface pattern design was. So, I went to school for Graphic Design, and then I worked in advertising and in design studios for over 10 years, and it was great, but it just felt like something was really missing. One thing I noticed is that I always loved integrating pattern into my graphic design work. So, I ended up taking a creative sabbatical and went to Berlin for three months, and the whole idea was that I would just get up every day and work on something creative, and figure out like is there something else that I might want to do with my life? So, I would get up every day in very little time, it just kind of I found myself getting up and working on patterns all the time. So, after three months, I came home with a big huge portfolio of

Textures and UVs
Textures are pixel maps, usually image files, you use to control surface values such as color, opacity, displacement, and so on.
To map textures to surfaces, Houdini must know which parts of the pixel map should appear on which parts of the surface. You do this by putting UV coordinates attributes on the surface, which map to pixels in the texture. In Houdini, you need to add UVs to all surface types. NURBS surfaces do not automatically have UV coordinates.

Leek dip includes any vegetable or cracker dip that uses the leek as its base flavor. A cousin of the onion, leeks have a pungent flavor. Most individuals preparing leek dip cook the leeks enough to draw out the vegetable's sweetness, though, often making the dip milder and more appealing to a broader range of tastes. Some leek dips also combine leeks with other vegetables or ingredients to add dimension to the flavor. These dips are typically served with a platter of sliced vegetables or crackers.
Allium porrum, more commonly known as the leek, is a member of the lily family, along with onions, shallots, garlic, and chives. Leeks have a flavor that closely mimics the taste of onions, but when cooked, leeks take on a sweeter, more delicate taste than onions do. The vegetable measures roughly 1 foot in length (approximately 30 centimeters), and its stalk is about 2 inches in diameter (approximately 5 centimeters). Layers of dark green leaves tightly wrap around a pale green stalk, which gradually turns white as it reaches the small bulb at the bottom of the plant. Both the stalk and leaves of the leek are edible, but some recipes call for one over the other.
Many individuals making leek dip prefer to use the white and pale green parts of the stalk instead of the dark green leaves. The leeks are halved and sliced into thin rings measuring about 1/3 inch (approximately 8 millimeters) or smaller. In a preheated skillet coated with butter, the cook sautès the pieces until they soften. Some cooks may continue sautèing the leeks until they begin to brown and caramelize. This cooking process minimizes the pungency of the leeks while releasing their aroma and drawing out their mild flavor.
After the leeks are cooked, they must be added to a dairy base. Most dips are made with sour cream, and the average leek dip is no exception. Many cooks also add a soft cheese, like goat cheese, to the dip, and some substitute cream cheese for sour cream in order to create a richer tasting dip. The dairy ingredients are thoroughly mixed together before the cook stirs in the sauteed leek slices, creating a very simple, basic leek dip.
Most individuals prefer adding other ingredients to the dip to create a more complex flavor. Herbs, spices and vegetables, including parsley, black pepper, salt, and chives, are the most common, subtle possibilities. Some individuals may also add blended vegetables, like mashed peas, or chopped nuts, like almonds, peanuts, or walnuts, to alter the taste and texture of the leek dip. Finely chopped pieces of cooked bacon create a dip with a heartier flavor.
Leek dips are usually served with platters of raw vegetables or crackers. Vegetables commonly served on platters include cucumbers, celery, cauliflower, and carrots. For more variety, individuals may also include less common vegetables like daikon radishes or kohlrabi. Alternatively, a leek dip can be served alongside gourmet crackers, pita crisps, and breadsticks, instead of vegetables.

Edible craft projects can be a big hit with kids. Would your children like to snack on ants on a log? You'll need pretzels or celery sticks, peanut butter, and raisins. First, let them use a plastic butter knife to coat the top of the celery stalk or pretzel with peanut butter. Then, let them add 'ants'--also known as raisins--to the top of their treat. While they eat this snack, ask them if the ants tickle their tummies! Here's an idea that's especially good for toddlers: finger painting can be dangerous if your tot still explores new things by putting them in his or her mouth. Let them finger paint with pudding. You can use the instant kind you prepare yourself, or purchase a multi-pack of the pre-made individual servings. Let your toddlers use wax paper for their creations, and you can display these briefly, or allow them to eat their masterpieces.

Whereas traditional dialog systems operate on the top ASR hypothesis, statistical dialog systems claim to be more robust to ASR errors by maintaining a distribution over multiple hidden dialog states. Recently, these techniques have been deployed publicly for the first time, making empirical measurements possible. In this paper, we analyze two of these deployments. We find that performance was quite mixed: in some cases statistical techniques improved accuracy with respect to the top speech recognition hypothesis; in other cases, accuracy was degraded. Investigating degradations, we find the three main causes are (non-obviously) inaccurate parameter estimates, poor confidence scores, and correlations in speech recognition errors. Overall the results suggest fundamental weaknesses in the formulation as a generative model, and we suggest alternatives as future work.

Philosophy Of Taekwondo Belts
White is the color of purity, honesty, peace, and friendship
Beginner students have little knowledge of Taekwondo; they do not have an in-depth understanding of Taekwondo and the nature of its techniques and principles. In addition, white belts in taekwondo indicate that the student does not have any degree or rank in Taekwondo.
Yellow expresses hope and strives
The yellow belt indicates that the student is facing Taekwondo rays and is going to reach the depth. In other words, the seed buds are yellow at first and turn green after growth. Therefore, it can be said that the student is like a bud that tries to grow and flourish with persistent efforts.
Green is a sign of defense.
The seed that comes out of the soil gradually turns green. Green is the color of defense. As mentioned, Taekwondo is a defensive art. All of its techniques have been developed for defense. At this stage, the student is fully acquainted with the basic techniques and can perform them well.
Blue is the color of peace.
The color of the seawater and the color of the sky. Taekwondo seedlings are now in the sky and protected from storms. Now Taekwondo players become a tree that can easily protect themselves and others like an umbrella.
Why do taekwondo fighters use a white belt at the beginning and wear a black belt when they reach the top?? What are the meanings of choosing yellow, green, blue, red, black.???
Red is the color of attack and onslaught
The color of war and blood. The color of flame and fire.
Black, the world of the unknown
 The taekwondo player has reached the unknown. On the one hand, there is despair and fear, and on the other hand, the spirit of aggression is found in the red belt. The peace he found in the blue belt has made him patient.

How Apple Music and the iCloud Music Library work with iTunes Match
article thumbnail
On its website Apple describes Apple Music and iTunes Match as "independent but complementary," but in fact the services are closely connected through a third feature: iCloud Music Library.
Effectively, iCloud Music Library — turned on via settings in iTunes 12.2 or iOS 8.4 — incorporates iTunes Match, which makes a person's local iTunes library (including playlists) available for remote streaming or download whether the songs were bought from the iTunes Store, ripped from a CD, or otherwise imported.
If Match can't find a song on Apple servers, it simply uploads a user's copy wholesale, and downloads it the same way. Matched songs, however, are downloaded as 256 kilobit-per-second AAC files without copy protection (better known as DRM).
iTunes 12.2 for Windows
iOS 8.4
iOS 8.4
The same functions are available to Apple Music subscribers, but go a step further. For them iCloud Music Library is needed to add on-demand tracks to an iTunes library, and/or to save them for offline listening. Without Apple Music the feature can still make files accessible across devices, but only iTunes purchases.
An important distinction from iTunes Match is that any tracks matched by Apple Music do get DRM if users download them on another device, or the originals are deleted from a person's iTunes library. This is a consequence of Apple technology meant to ensure that once a person cancels the service, they can't keep all the tracks they saved for offline listening but never originally owned.
People can however subscribe to both Apple Music and iTunes Match, in which case matched files will always be DRM-free.
Apple Music is the more expensive option of the two, costing $9.99 a month for an individual listener, or $14.99 a month with a six-person family plan. iTunes Match by contrast is only $24.99 per year, but of course omits Apple Music's on-demand catalog.
Both services support mirroring personal libraries up to 25,000 songs, not including iTunes purchases. By the time iOS 9 is released in the fall, that limit will grow to 100,000.
Why some users may want to leave iCloud Music Library turned off
At the moment iCloud Music Library is potentially dangerous to turn on. Users have complained about it creating duplicates, assigning inaccurate metadata and artwork, and/or restoring previously-deleted music.
For people with large, carefully-tagged iTunes libraries, this can create chaos and undo years of work. In our own experiences, we've also run into some major issues in enabling the feature.
More seriously the option is in some cases not only deleting playlists, but causing the files in them to disappear. There are some workarounds to salvage a library, but it's unwise to try the feature without having a separate music backup in the event of disaster.
Ultimately, Apple Music still works without iCloud Music Library. It's not as convenient, but it's up to subscribers to judge whether the risk is worth it, or wait until the kinks are worked out.

Specify ciphers allowed for protocol version 2
Use this group policy to specify the ciphers allowed for SSH protocol version 2. If you enable this policy, you can add or delete ciphers to increase the speed of SSO.
Multiple ciphers must be separated by commas. If you want to add a cipher to the list, use the '+' character at the beginning of the name. If you enter the name only, you will replace the existing ciphers with the new cipher.
The order of the cipher list will determine the order that sshd uses the ciphers. For example, if you want to increase the speed of SSO, you can place the cipher, aes128-ctr, at the beginning of the list.
When this policy is disabled, the default cipher list, which is the most secure grouping, is used, but may cause delays in SSO.
To enable this group policy, you must be running Centrify OpenSSH 5.3.0 or later.
This group policy modifies the Ciphers setting in the following file: /etc/centrifydc/ssh/sshd_config

StructureMap – Configuring Instances
One of the most common tasks in the Registry DSL is defining how a objects will be created by configuring Instances. While you can create a custom Instance class, out of the box StructureMap provides all of the most common scenarios — and some that probably aren't that common. See Using Open Generic Types for more specific information about configuring open generic types.

Instance Expression
In an effort to standardize the Registry DSL and make the API more predictable and consistent, we have introduced the "InstanceExpression" as a shared Expression Builder that is used in every place that the Registry DSL needs to define an Instance. Here are several examples of how and when the InstanceExpression is invoked. In the code sample below, the text "**********;" represents a call to an InstanceExpression.
public class InstanceExampleRegistry : Registry
public InstanceExampleRegistry()
// Set the default Instance of a PluginType
// Add an additional Instance of a PluginType
// Add multiple additional Instances of a PluginType
ForRequestedType().AddInstances(x =>
// Use the InstanceExpression to define the default Instance
// of a PluginType within a Profile
CreateProfile("Connected", x =>
InstanceExpression Operations
As of 2.5+, all operations in the Registry DSL that require the definition of an Instance expose an option to use an InstanceExpression with these options:
public interface IInstanceExpression : span style="color: #2b91af;">IsExpression
// Attach an Instance object that is configured
/// independently of the DSL. This is an extensibility point
void Instance(Instance instance);
void IsThis(Instance instance);
// Use a pre-built object
LiteralInstance IsThis(T obj);
LiteralInstance Object(T theObject);
// Use a type and build with its constructor function
SmartInstance OfConcreteType() where PLUGGEDTYPE : T;
ConfiguredInstance OfConcreteType(Type type);

Building with Constructors and Setters
We received a lot of feedback on the Registry DSL introduced in 2.0. Because of that feedback, StructureMap 2.5+ contains a new feature called the SmartInstance that is just a better Fluent Interface for specifying constructor and setter arguments and dependencies of a concrete type. The main complaint with the 2.0 API was that SetProperty() is overloaded to mean either setter or constructor arguments. The underlying mechanisms in StructureMap stores the information the same way, but the API was causing real confusion. The SmartInstance API is designed to eliminate the confusion over constructor vs setter arguments, and also to take advantage of newer.Net 3.5 features./p>
Designating the Type
The first step is to define the actual concrete type of this Instance by using the OfConcreteType() method on InstanceExpression to start the definition of a SmartInstance.
// Add an additional Instance of a PluginType
Defining primitive constructor arguments
Primitive arguments like strings or value types (including enumerations) are defined with the WithCtorArg(name) expression. In this example below, the Thing class has several constructor arguments.
public Thing(int count, string name, double average, Rule rule)
_count = count;
_name = name;
_average = average;
_rule = rule;
In order to make a SmartInstance for the "Thing" type, I need to specify values for all of the simple constructor arguments ("count", "name", and "average"). That syntax is shown in the sample below taken from a unit test:
public void DeepInstanceTest_with_SmartInstance()
assertThingMatches(registry =>
Defining primitive setter properties
You have additional options for setting a primitive setter property. The simplest approach is to just use a Lambda expression that will be applied to the object as soon as it's built. Intellisense and compiler safety are good things, so you might as well use it. StructureMap now supports optional setter injection, meaning that you no longer need to do the [Setter] attributes in the concrete classes. If you specify the value of a setter, StructureMap will use that value regardless of whether or not the [Setter] property exists. The same rule applies to non-primitive setter dependencies.
Let's say I have a class like this:
public class SimplePropertyTarget
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
To set the setter properties in the configuration you can use the SetProperty(Action) expression like this to set as many properties as you need:
var container = new Container(x =>
.SetProperty(target =>
target.Name = "Max";
target.Age = 4;
Overriding Constructor Dependencies
When you want to override the auto wiring behavior, you can explicitly specify the constructor dependency of an Instance by using the CtorDependency() expression:
var theContainer = new Container(registry =>
.CtorDependency().Is(i =>
Or, if a concrete type should have two or more dependencies of the same type, you can also specify the name of the constructor argument:
.CtorDependency("widget").Is(x => x.TheInstanceNamed("Purple"));
The Lambda expression inside of "CtorDependency().Is()" is another InstanceExpression, so all the normal options for defining an Instance are available. Please note that I just specified the type of constructor argument in the call to CtorDependency() above. If you have more than one constructor argument of the same type, you'll need to specify the name of the constructor argument with the CtorDependency(argumentName) method.
Overriding Setter Dependencies
Setter dependencies are configured much like constructor dependencies:
registry.ForRequestedType().UseThing>()
.SetterDependency().Is(x =>
c => c.OfConcreteType().WithCtorArg("color").EqualTo("yellow"));
& });
The only difference is that Setter dependencies can also be specified by using an Expression to declare the property to be injected:
var container = new Container(x =>
.SetterDependency(o => o.Widget).Is(o => o.Object(new ColorWidget("Red")));
Array or Non Primitive Dependencies
StructureMap supports Array arguments of non primitive objects. An array of dependencies or type T can be defined with the TheArrayOf() method shown below.
var container = new Container(x =>/p>
.TheArrayOf().Contains(y =>
TheArrayOf() method is another Nested Closure that takes in an Action to configure the child Instance's in the array.
Primitive Arrays and Dictionaries
Arrays of primitive types (strings, numbers, etc) and Dictionary types can be configured just by treating them as a child dependency that is configured inline. Let's say you have a class like this that needs a couple Array objects in its constructor function:
public class ClassWithStringAndIntArray
private readonly int[] _numbers;
private readonly string[] _strings;
public ClassWithStringAndIntArray(int[] numbers, string[] strings)
_numbers = numbers;
_strings = strings;
public int[] Numbers
get { return _numbers; }
public string[] Strings
get { return _strings; }
You can configure the values for the "numbers" and "strings" constructor function arguments like this:
public void specify_a_string_array()
var container = new Container(x =>
.CtorDependency().Is(new[] {"a", "b", "c"})
.CtorDependency().Is(new[] {1, 2, 3});
var objectWithArrays = container.GetInstance();
objectWithArrays.Numbers.ShouldEqual(new[] {1, 2, 3});
Using a Custom Instance
Occasionally, it might be advantageous to create a custom form of Instance. Fortunately, there's a mechanism in the InstanceExpression to attach Instance objects built independently of the Registry DSL. Let's say that you've created a custom Instance called XmlFileInstance that deserializes an object from an Xml file. The registration of that custom Instance might look something like this:
public class CustomInstanceRegistry : Registry
public CustomInstanceRegistry()
ForRequestedType().TheDefault.IsThis(new XmlFileInstance("address1.xml"));
See Extending StructureMap for more specific information on using custom Instance classes.
Using an Externally Constructed Object
It's frequently useful to simply inject an existing object into StructureMap. This frequently arises in desktop applications where parts of the application shell may be created independently of the container, but you still with these objects to be injected into other services. Here's an example from my current project where we need to programmatically build up some services (IUrlRegistry, IActionRegistry, and ITypeRegistry) before injecting them into StructureMap:
private readonly TypeRegistry _typeRegistry = new TypeRegistry(); private UrlGraph _graph; private ControllerRegistry _registry; public WebRegistry(ICollection routes) { createUrlGraph(routes); ForRequestedType


Contract action on Customer Contracts screen."
); this.RenewExpiring(instance); instance.Save.Press();
Another way to insert some record in db is to use PXDataBase.Insert. Example of usage is the following:
 new PXDataFieldAssign("TranType", PXDbType.NVarChar, apTran.TranType),
 new PXDataFieldAssign("RefNbr", apTran.RefNbr),
 new PXDataFieldAssign("ManualPrice", apTran.ManualPrice),
 new PXDataFieldAssign("LineNbr", apTran.LineNbr));
The first option gives you opportunity to use logic of graph, while second gives you good perfomance.
PXSmartPanel in Acumatica
Hello everybody,
today I want to write few words how to work with PXSmartPanel.
One of my clients asked following:
1. Press at button.
2. Pop up should appear with two buttons ( "OK", "Cancel")
3. At pop up should be also selector of contracts and datetime.
4. Existing screen should be modified.
In order to do this, following actions were implemented:
1. Existing screen was CT301000.
2. If to look in screen source code, following line says about graph:
3. It means, that we need to create extension class for ContractMaint.
4. For example like this:
public class ContractMaintExt : PXGraphExtension
 public PXFilter SubstituteSettings;
 public PXAction Substitute;
 [PXButton(CommitChanges = true)]
 [PXUIField(DisplayName = "Substitute")]
 protected void substitute()
 if (this.SubstituteSettings.AskExt(new PX.Data.PXView.InitializePanel(this.fillFilter)) ==
 var subsFilter = (SubstituteSettingsFilter)this.SubstituteSettings.Cache.Current;
 CopyOpenPMTaskHistory(Base.Contracts.Current.ContractID, subsFilter.ContractID, subsFilter.TransitionDate);
5. In the line 4 we declared to Acumatica, that we want to extend ContractMaint, and we want to create some data input, which is related to SubstituteSettingsFilter. Take note of Substitute and substitute: both of them are needed in order to make processing of inputted values.
6. Take a look at SubstituteSettingsFilter class itself:
 public class SubstituteSettingsFilter : IBqlTable
 _TAG_ contractID
 public abstract class contractID : IBqlField, IBqlOperand
 protected int? _ContractID;
 [PXDimensionSelector("CONTRACT", typeof(Search2>,
 LeftJoin>>>,
 Where,
 And>>>),
 new System.Type[] { typeof(Contract.contractCD), typeof(Contract.customerID), typeof(Customer.acctName),
 typeof(Contract.locationID), typeof(Contract.description), typeof(Contract.status), typeof(Contract.expireDate),
 typeof(ContractBillingSchedule.lastDate), typeof(ContractBillingSchedule.nextDate) },
 DescriptionField = typeof(Contract.description), Filterable = true)]
 [PXUIField(DisplayName = "Contract ID", Visibility = PXUIVisibility.SelectorVisible)]
 public virtual int? ContractID
 get { return this._ContractID; }
 set { this._ContractID = value; }
 _TAG_ contractID
 _TAG_ TransitionDate
 public abstract class transitionDate : PX.Data.IBqlField
 protected DateTime? _TransitionDate;
 [PXUIField(DisplayName = "Transition Date")]
 public virtual DateTime? TransitionDate
 return this._TransitionDate;
 this._TransitionDate = value;
 _TAG_ TransitionDate
7. We described two properties: contractID and TransitionDate.
8. Now goes time of aspx page at section I described the following:

Few words. AcceptButtonID speak about who plays role of OK button, Caption means title, CaptionVisible means that title will be visible, HideAfterAction means hide or not after action, Key means name of member in extension or graph, DefaultControlID means which control is active by default. Another important detail is DataMember property, which equals to Key. Then goes layout rules, which I ommit. Then in Template goes selector, and datetime input.
9. Here how control look like:
Here it is. If you have any comments, wishes, etc, you are welcome to post them

Henry Fairfield Osborn was an American naturalist, notable for his involvement in and contribution to many environmental organizations.
Osborn was born in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1887. He attended both Princeton and Cambridge Universities, after which he worked in a variety of jobs, including as a soldier in World War I.
Having followed his paleontologist father on archeological digs, however, Osborn became interested in science as a career. He soon became secretary of the New York Zoological Society and went on to serve for many years as its president. He also worked
to support the creation of the Marine Aquarium at Coney Island, New Jersey, and the upkeep of the Bronx Zoological Park. Concerned for endangered species, in 1947 Osborn also founded the Conservation Foundation, an adjunct to the New York Zoological Society and later part of the World Wildlife Fund.
Osborn took his environmentalism to Washington, D.C. He served on the
Conservation Advisory Committee of the U.S. Department of the Interior and on the Planning Committee of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
Osborn was also concerned about the effect of population growth on the supply of natural resources, and he worked for solutions to this problem. He wrote two books, Our Plundered Planet (1948), and The Limits of the Earth (1953). He was a member of many other environmental organizations
including the Save-the-Redwoods League and the International Council for Bird Preservation. Henry Osborn died in 1968.

|resources:||Home Installation Source Bugs Screenshots Roadmap RGTP URLs|
HOWTO: add a new protocol to Mozilla
STILL BEING WRITTEN.
Prerequisite: Some idea about component-based architecture, and XPCOM in particular.
Overview: This document gives an overview of the process needed to implement a new protocol handler in Mozilla, so that you can make it recognise new kinds of URL. (For example, you might invent a protocol called
penguin. Then users would be able to retrieve some kind of document by entering URLs such as "
You do this by creating two components: a protocol handler and a channel. The protocol handler is Mozilla's one-stop shop for information about your protocol. When the user asks for a URL from your protocol, Mozilla will ask the protocol handler to return a channel, which is a component which can be repeatedly polled to retrieve more and more of the document.
I'm not an expert. This document may contain mistakes, though I hope it doesn't. If you find any, please let me know.
Note about Archangel: Archangel's back end is a component
_USER_.org/archangel/client;1, with the interface
nsIReverseGossip. This means that all the details of RGTP are kept separate from the implementation of the
rgtp: protocol, which lives in the file
archangel-protocol.js. You might like to follow through that file as you read this document.
The protocol handler in detail: Define a component with the contract ID
So in our example:
This component should implement nsIProtocolHandler, which involves implementing these attributes and methods:
- Returns a channel which can serve the document which uri points at. See below for how to make the channel.
nsIURI newURI(original, charset, baseURI)
- Returns an nsIURI object created from a string. Mostly you can just instantiate an _USER_.org/network/standard-url;1 and let it do the work for you. If baseURI is set, the string is relative to another URI, which is a pain in the neck.
- The default port number assigned to the protocol. (Of course, users can pick their own port numbers using the
:portsyntax in the URL, but this is what they get if they don't.) If port numbers don't make sense with this protocol, either use -1 or use a dummy value. (Venkman's protocol "
x-jsd" uses 2206, a reference to Ghostbusters).
- The name of this scheme, the same as protocol in the contract ID. (I'm not sure why this is needed, because you already know the protocol if you've got this far. But there it is.)
- Sum whichever of the following are relevant:
Identifier Value When to use
1 This protocol can't serve up documents which contain relative links.
2 This protocol has no concept of usernames or passwords.
4 Socks proxies (or, if
ALLOWS_PROXY_HTTPis also set, HTTP proxies) know how to deal with this protocol. If you set this, but you don't set
ALLOWS_PROXY_HTTP, your component will need to implement nsIProxiedProtocolHandler as well, which is beyond the scope of this document.
ALLOWS_PROXY. If you set this, you must set
boolean allowPort(port, scheme)
- The user can request an unusual port by adding
:portafter the hostname in the URL. However, there are certain ports that Mozilla usually won't let the user request for security reasons. This lets you override that and let the user make a request on a potentially unsafe port.
The channel in detail: The channel doesn't have to have a contract ID, because it's never requested by name, only supplied by protocol handlers. It should implement nsIChannel, though if you want to do anything particularly funky you may want to descend a new kind of channel (like nsIFTPChannel) with any extra stuff you need.
The methods and attributes you need to implement are the ordinary nsIChannel ones:
void asyncOpen(listener, context)
- This should make listener (an nsIStreamListener) the place to send bits of the document as they come in. You should call its
onDataAvailablemethod, passing in the new pieces of data. (context also gets passed in that call, unchanged.)
- Don't bother implementing this. It's optional, can't be used in a lot of places, and callers will always use asyncOpen() instead if this isn't present. Instead, just throw
- The length of the data that's coming in, if you know, or -1 if you don't.
- The MIME type of the data that's coming in.
- The charset of the data that's coming in, if applicable. (What format is this supposed to be in?)
- The URI used to construct this channel. You can return the one that was passed to the protocol handler's
- The owner of this channel. Not sure what good this is. Seems to work if you return null.
- Something to do with progress indicators and so on. Still trying to find out what. Seems to work if you return null.
- Don't know. Can anyone tell me? Works if you return null.

Treadmill vs. Running Outdoors
I am often asked these questions with regards to running and treadmills:-
1) Is running on a treadmill equivalent to running outdoors?
2) If i can run on the treadmill for 20 minutes, will i be able to run for 20 minuted outdoors?
3) Which is more effective to burn calories, running on a treadmill or running outdoors.
So i thought, its best that i clarify this topic properly so everyone understands why running on a treadmill is different than running outdoors. At first glance, the 2 may seem similar, but actually, there are quite a few differences.
Here are the answers to the questions:
1) Very similar, but not 100% similar
2) Not necessarily. Running outdoors is more challenging than running on a treadmill
3) Running outdoors at 6km/h for 20 minutes burns more calories than running 6km/h for 20 minutes on a treadmill.
OK, let me explain in more detail so all the answers make sense. Though the treadmill allows us to mimic a very similar movement of running, it is actually quite different. Running on a treadmill is actually easier than running outdoors. Why is it easier to run on a treadmill compared to outdoors?
For several reasons such as:-
a) There is no wind resistance when running on a treadmill. Because your body is stationary, you don't experience any wind resistance, which makes it easier.
b) The terrain is always uniform on a treadmill, where else running outside is never uniform. Because of this, your body is constantly working to adjust and balance itself to ensure that you can keep running and not fall down. Even this takes up extra energy... a little, but if your body is doing this constantly for 20 minutes, the little bit adds up.
c) Treadmill helps to propel you forward. In a treadmill, moving forward is assisted by the belt of the treadmill. Because of this, there is almost no energy used to propel you forward. Only energy being used is to keep your feet moving. When running outside, you have to move your feet and propel yourself forward, which makes it that much more taxing. Running on a treadmill is equivalent to running on the spot. I have read that adjusting the treadmill to a 1% incline will make it just as challenging as running outdoors.
Because of the reasons above, running outdoors is more challenging and burns more calories that running on a treadmill. Now, with that being said, it doesn't mean that all treadmills should be junked away immediately. There are some pro's that a treadmill has:
1) its not weather sensitive. Rain or shine, you can have a run at any time you want.
2) If you are a beginner to running, the treadmill provides you a safe and comfortable environment for you to build up your endurance / skill.
If you are training to be an outdoor runner (eg. running a marathon), then as far as possible, your training should be more outdoors than on the treadmill. Treadmill is a great place to get in a workout when the weather is not favourable, but overall, you should spend more time running outdoors.
So there you have it. The verdict on treadmill vs running outdoors. I still do the treadmill once a week, and i usually play with the incline and speed to make it more challenging and less boring. If you are a more serious athlete or fitness buff, than running flat on a treadmill for 20 minutes might put you to sleep. So feel free to play with the adjustments available to keep your workout challenging and effective for your fitness level. As usual, look forward to hearing your comments.

Cold Wave - News Makers
A cold wave is a weather phenomenon that is distinguished by a cooling of the air. Specifically, as used by the U.S. National Weather Service, a cold wave is a rapid fall in temperature within a 24 hour period requiring substantially increased protection to agriculture, industry, commerce, and social activities. The precise criterion for a cold wave is determined by the rate at which the temperature falls, and the minimum to which it falls. This minimum temperature is dependent on the geographical region and time of year. Source: Wikipedia < Read less Read more >

How to Improve G10
G10 provides the ability to enter data into various registers within the control, including offset data and parameters. For CNC users, having the ability to enter data into offsets can play an important role in improving a machine's performance.
Columns From: 10/1/2012 Modern Machine Shop,
Editor's Commentary
From the monthly column CNC Tech Talk.
G10 has one severe limitation (at least on FANUC controls): It can only write data into registers; it cannot read from them. If a machine is equipped with custom macro B, it is possible to read data from offset registers using a series of system variables. However, system variables are difficult to work with because the numbering differs among FANUC control models and can even vary within one control model based on the offset option.
An easier way to read offset data with system variables is to create a user-defined G code. In order to leave the G10 function intact, we need to pick a different G-code number, say G110. The value 110 will be placed in the parameter for the first (of 10) available user-defined G codes. Look in the custom macro B section of your programming manual to find the parameter numbers for user-defined G codes. This parameter will correspond to a program number (like O9011). Once this parameter is properly set, whenever the control reads a G110, it will automatically execute the related program (we'll use O9011).
The calling command could look something like this: N050 G110 T1.0 R10.0 V101.0
G110 will make the control execute program O9011. The T argument will specify the type of data being read. For our example, T1.0 will be for tool offsets and T2.0 will be for fixture offsets. R will specify the offset register number (10, in our example). V will specify the common variable number into which the offset value will be placed. In this example, the value of offset number 10 will be placed in common variable #101. So V lets us specify the common variable into which we want the value stored, enabling easy access to multiple offset values with more G110 commands. And since common variables are retained until at least the M30 of the main program, this common variable will be available for whatever purpose we require after the G110 command has been executed.
Here is our first attempt at program O9011. It can only access tool offsets and is not even referencing the T argument (yet).
O9011 (Data reading custom macro)
(T:#20, R:#18, V:#22)
#[#22] = #[2000 +#18] (Place offset value into common variable)
We're assuming the system variables related to tool offsets are in the #2000 series, meaning the value of offset number 10 will be in #2010. The (only) command in this custom macro places the value of #2010 (again, offset 10) in common variable #101. If you have more than one machine, and if they use a different series of system variables to access tool offsets, you will need a different custom macro for each machine. The calling command will remain the same from machine to machine.
To gain additional access to fixture offsets, we will need to add more G110 arguments. We'll add X, Y and Z to correspond to the various fixture offset registers. This will enable us to specify which fixture offset registers will be read. Consider this new command: N050 G110 T2.0 R3.0 V101.0 X1.0 Y1.0
If included, X, Y and/or Z specify which registers we want to read. If any are left out, the corresponding register value will not be read. In our example, we want to read the X and Y register values of fixture offset number three. The X register value will be placed in common variable #101. Though it is not specified, the Y value will be placed in common variable #102 (one variable number higher that the variable number specified with V. If Z is included in the G110 command, it will be placed in variable #103 (two higher than the value of V).
Here is the completed custom macro program.
O9011 (Data reading custom macro)
(T:#20, R:#18, V:#22, X:#24, Y:#25, Z:#26)
IF [#20 EQ 1.0] GOTO 10 (Tool offset)
IF [#20 EQ 2.0] GOTO 20 (Fixture offset)
#3000 = 100 (BAD VALUE FOR T)
GOTO 99 (Exit)
N20 (Begin fixture offset access)
#33 = 0 (Initialize flag to missing input)
IF [#24 EQ #0] GOTO 22 (Test for X)
#[#22] = #[5201 + 20*#18] (Read X register)
#33 = 1.0 (Missing input flag is satisfied)
N22 IF[#25 EQ #0] GOTO 24 (Test for Y)
#[#22+1] = #[5202 + 20*#18] (Read Y register)
#33 = 1.0 (Missing input flag is satisfied)
N24 IF [#26 EQ #0] GOTO 26 (Test for Z)
#[#22+2] = #[5203 + 20*#18] (Read Z register)
#33 = 1.0 (Missing input flag is satisfied)
N26 IF[#33 EQ 1.0] GOTO 99 (Test if XYZ are not missing)
#3000 = 101 (MISSING X, Y, OR Z)
N99 M99
We're assuming that system variables range in the 5200 series for this machine. If your machines use a different set of variables, reference the custom macro section of your programming manual.
This technique enables your main program to remain consistent from machine to machine. If each machine has an appropriate O9011 program, a given G110 command will work the same on all machines. Once this program is verified for each machine, you won't have to rummage through programming manuals to find the appropriate system variables every time you need to read an offset value.
