How to Draw an Angry Face with Emotion
Even though I tend to draw very peaceful looking characters in most of my pieces, I really like to play with emotions and take some time to do some fun exercises. The more exaggerated the better and you can play a lot with angry expressions!
Let's go over, step by step, on how to draw an angry expression, so that in the end, you can draw your character looking furious and be able to play even more with drawing angry expressions!
Drawing Emotions using the Eyebrows
When drawing any kind of expression, the eyebrows can do most of the work here!
Not sure where to start with the Emotion?
Draw the Eyebrow! Exaggerating a the curves of your eyebrows can change a lot on the expression of your character.
Try putting yourself in front of a mirror and study your reflection.
As you go from expression to expression, you'll notice that in every single one of them, the eyebrows play a very big part in emphasizing it!
Actually, there are a lot of artists and animators that work with a small mirror on their desk.
This way, they can test and watch their reflections as a reference when drawing their characters.
How to Draw an Angry Face with Emotion! Step by step guide by Don Corgi
If you have a small mirror at home, try and do the same: sit at your desk for around 30 minutes or one hour and practice expressions while using yourself as a reference!
Another option is to just look up on the internet some images and make your studies from there.
Remember, when sketching up and drawing, to try and exaggerate the expressions and your lines, it gives more personality and a different motion to your drawings.
Of course, there's the last option, that's a mix of both of these!
Take photos of yourself or a friend.
If jumping between drawing and looking at a mirror seems too complicated, or you can't just a reference image good enough. Then, take a picture of yourself or ask for a friend to pose for you!
Take photos of yourself or a friend to help you getting references to draw emotions like an angry face!
So let's start with our eyebrows first:
Tilting the Eyebrow helps a LOT when trying to convey angry emotions.
Simply tilt it towards the nose, making a very slanted line, with the outside tips going away from the eyes.
The more you tilt them, the more exaggerated your expression will be.
Tilt the eyebrow to make your angry expression stronger!
Of course, if you want a more passive angry face, drawing the eyebrows really close to the eyes to the job. If you want the expression to be very flat but still judgy, draw them almost straight and on top of the eyes.
Once again, the tilted you make them, the angrier it will look like, so it's up to you how you want to convey your character's emotions!
Draw the Eyebrows close to the Eyes to make your expression even angrier!
Larger Eyes Makes Angrier Expressions!
As a general rule, the larger the eye the more emphasis it gives to the expression.
It doesn't matter what kind of shape you're drawing the eyes with, but the bigger you do them, the angrier your character looks.
It's the difference between being angry and furious.
This also works with other emotions: simply scared to terrified, sad to agonized, surprised to astounded and so on.
The size of the eye works like a balance for your emotions.
The bigger, the more emotional it is. So when you're making Angry Eyes and want that extra boost of expression, increase the overall size of the eye. This will make it look extra angry.
In the images below, I give you two examples, one of them you can see that the eye has a very regular size and the other I exaggerated it a lot, making them really big.
A regular sized eye looks like this.
The Larger the eyes, the angrier the expression looks!
Try out both ways and even some other eye sizes in-between so you can really understand the differences, by practicing.
You can even make your drawings, all side by side, scaling them up so you can use it for reference whenever you want to draw angry characters!
On Another Note… Drawing the Iris
We've talked about the size of the eye, let's now talk about yet another important element when drawing expressions: the iris!
When drawing the iris you should draw it small for an angrier expression.
The contrast between a small dot for the iris and a vast white around it, speaks to us, visually, of urgency, panic, and even lunacy.
Draw a tiny Iris to make your expression stronger, like your character is in panic or lunacy.
The size you decide for the iris can make your character look like a real psycho or someone that has completely lost their mind.
For example, someone who's so angry that is way past any kind of logic and reason.
Drawing it too big, can make it look like the character isn't phased at all with what happened, which is also something you can make use of.
A character that is beyond human emotions or a very evil character that doesn't really care what's happening and how much destruction they cause.
If you draw the Iris bigger, you can still make it look like a bad character who doesn't care about all the destruction he's causing.
Once again, you can make the same kind of exercise as before, draw the eyes with different iris sizes, scaling them up and compare each other and how they feel.
Other than the iris, you can also play with the eyebrows and eye size.
Mix and match them and see how many different results you can get!
The Angriest Mouth in the World
Mouths have feelings too!
Well.. kind of.
You can't draw an expression with merely the eyes, the rest as to show the emotion as well, a wrinkled nose goes very well with the angry eyes for example!
The mouth also plays a big role when drawing any kind of expression. One of the easiest ways to express an angry attitude with the mouth is to show some teeth.
Show some teeth! It helps drawing an angry emotion.
Like we talked before, simply try to get angry at the mirror and say something, you'll notice how your teeth tend to show when you're angry.
On another note, an angry *grr* kind of expression almost like a dog works wonders.
The curve of the mouth and its size are two other very important aspects to pay attention to. Depending on it, the way you read the emotion can change a lot!
Let's pick an example, surely you've seen some Batman movies, series, and comics.
Surely you've seen the iconic Joker even if it was in a mug or t-shirt.
His character is a great example when talking about expressions.
He's very expressive and exaggerated. We know he's completely mad and there's no reason left in him, but we don't know this merely by his actions, every tiny visual detail tell us that!
The Joker is a perfect example of someone who has a scary and lunatic face.
"Joker" from The Killing Joke comic, by DC Comics
In a state of pure malice, Joker's face will appear angry, with very tilted eyebrows, big eyes, a tiny dot for an iris and finally, a very opened, big mouth, tilted upwards.
You can tell by the way the mouth curves, he's obviously enjoying his hostility and his "pranks".
So if you're not sure how to draw a character who enjoys how evil they are, Joker will never fail you, look up some comics and you can find a ton of references from it!
Let's take another example: Guts, from Kentaro Miura's famous manga Berserk, is the perfect example of an angry character. An example of someone who turned to anger to find the strength to survive and fight.
Guts from Berserk shows frustration mixed with anger.
The character "Guts" from the Berserk Manga
His mouth, often curves downward, angry, frustrated and when furious his mouth will be drawn opened, showing a lot of teeth, but this time, as oppose to Joker, it tilts upside down.
Guts isn't completely out of his mind, all out of reasoning. Nor does he enjoy it.
No, he's in pain and he's furious, but still very much conscient of his own actions (for the most part, but that's a whole other matter!).
So from this two examples, you can clearly see how you can play with the mouth to change the tone of the emotions you want to portray and how it has such an important role in drawing an expression as the eyes!
Complement the Angry Face with Details!
It's all about the tiny details!
If you've done all the steps and still want to add a little more "oomph" to the face, focus on the details! When drawing a face and expressions, the whole face responds to the emotion.
Wrinkles tend to show around the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Same goes with the eyebrows when they grow very close together. Again, try and make a very angry face at your mirror and look at all the lines that appear around your face!
Add some Gleam and details to the eyes to make the expressions look angrier.
If you want to go really overboard with it, you can add some gleam to the eyes or some bits of saliva connecting the teeth and even a tongue showing up!
Once again it's all about experimenting and trying new things, go completely overboard with it. Think of a character, but before drawing it, think about their traits:
Let's say I want to draw a vampire, hungry for blood, insatiable.

Silene cucubalus Wibel
Silene vulgaris, or bladder campion is a plant species of the genus Silene of the Pink Family (Caryophyllaceae). It is native to Europe, where in some parts it is eaten, but is widespread in North America where it is considered a weed.
The young shoots and the leaves may be used as food. The tender leaves may be eaten raw in salads. The older leaves are usually eaten boiled or fried, sauteed with garlic as well as in omelettes and risotto in Italy. The plant is used as a food in Spain and in Italy, where it is known as sculpit, stridolo, or by the obsolete scientific name Silene inflata.
Formerly in La Mancha region of Spain, where Silene vulgaris leaves are valued as a green vegetable, there were people known as "collejeros" who picked these plants and sold them. Leaves are small and narrow, so it takes many plants to obtain a sizeable amount.
In La Mancha the Silene vulgaris leaves, locally known as "collejas", were mainly used to prepare a dish called gazpacho viudo (widower gazpacho). The ingredients were flatbread known as tortas de gazpacho and a stew prepared with Silene vulgaris leaves. The reference to a widower originated in the fact that this dish was only eaten when meat was scarce and the leaves were emergency or lean-times food, a substitute for an essential ingredient. Other dishes prepared with these leaves in Spain include "potaje de garbanzos y collejas", "huevos revueltos con collejas" and "arroz con collejas".
In Crete it is called Agriopapoula (Αγριοπάπουλα) and the locals eat its leaves and tender shoots browned in olive oil. Common names in Italy are Sciopentin (Veneto) and Venkuz (Friulano).
In Cyprus it is eaten very widely,so much so it has now for some years come back into being cultivated and sold in shops in bunches. Two of the common Cypriot names are Tsakrostoukkia and Strouthouthkia (στρουθούθκια).

Favorite Music App for November
Is your child a fan of Star Wars? If so, I encourage you to check out our favorite app for November. This app combines adventure and learning into one experience. As they travel to a galaxy far, far, away, students practice naming notes on the musical staff. In keeping with the Star Wars theme, students aim their fighter plane at the correct note on the staff to match the given note name.
The Staff Wars app is great for Star Wars fan. With visual graphics and sound effects reflecting the Star Wars theme, students find new enjoyment in what can often become mundane theory practice of naming notes. Students can customize the settings as they "Select a Mission" to practice reading treble clef notes, bass clef notes, or even alto clef notes. There are adjustable levels of practice to reflect the learner's ability level. The game records student's progress by keeping score of how many notes the student named correctly.
Benefits of Technology
Technology has a wonderful way of engaging students of all ages. Students often enjoy the animation and interactive features. As a teacher, I value the immediate feedback that students receive. Instead of waiting until next week's piano lesson for me to check their theory homework, students receive immediate feedback. The Staff Wars app indicates the correct answer to students, so they can learn from their mistakes. As they continue to practice, they improve their note reading skills.
Importance of Reading Music
Learning to read music is an important skill for developing musicians. Students develop confidence as they learn to read music fluently,. Reading music also expands a student's opportunities to play new music. By developing this skill, students gain new appreciation for the beauty of music.


weight the individual stacks of sliced, salted eggplant. Very often I use a cutting board with some cans on top of it for weight.
After about an hour, I pull the weight, remove the eggplant slices to a bowl, clean up the water on the counter, rinse the eggplant slices very well and dry them. They are now ready to use in whatever recipe I am using at the time.
This process removes the greater portion of the free water and compresses the eggplant to a bit less than half the original thickness.
Up until I learned this technique, we considered eggplant as somewhere at the bottom of the desirable vegetable list. After learning and using it, my eggplant went from being chunks of mush to chunks with texture, improving the esteem in which it was held tremendously.
If you can find it in a restaurant, order eggplant parmigiana and ask your waiter if the eggplant is pressed. The difference between pressed (meaning salted and pressed) and unpressed eggplant in this dish is pronounced and very noticeable.

Re: EKAQEUDEN: Is Perseus wrong?
Carl W. Conrad (

This has been worked over by several people; rather than cite the entire
correspondence history, I'd like to work with Jonathan's original because I
think there was a fundamental misunderstanding of the Perseus (or rather of
the LSJ) enry on EKAQEUDEN.
At 1:06 PM -0600 1/11/97, Jonathan Robie wrote:

The first problem was the confusion of "nu_movable root_preverb" as a
single notion; they are two distinctive features in this parsing. As David
Moore noted, the "nu_movable" is what appears at the end of the 3rd sg. E-
ending for euphony. What is meant by "root_preverb," however, is that the
compounding of KAQEUDO from KAT(A) + hEUDW is so early that KAQEUDW was
deemed a simple rather than a compounded verb, meaning that it is augmented
before KAQ rather than before hEUD. I don't think I have ever seen an
imperfect of this not-uncommon verb spelled KAQHUDON--rather it is always
EKAQEUDON. The compounding is very old indeed. There are some other verbs
like this, but the only one that comes readily to my mind is EPISTAMAI,
which is indeed a compound of EP(I) + hISTAMAI (or possibly, maybe even
more likely, simply of EPI + STA, since the Pi is not aspirated as it would
be by compounding of P + hI). This verb, an exremely important verb fraught
with implications for the hisory of philosophy (it gives us the word
EPISTHMH and Epistemology) means "know," "understand." It is not thought of
as a compound at all; it's imperfect is HPISTAMHN (never EP-ISTAMHN or
EF-ISTAMHN). So that is what is mean by "root_preverb" here.
As for hREGKW, I think it's one of those ablaut roots: hREGK/hROGK -- I
don't recall ever seeing a zero grade for it, but there is an o-grade noun,
hO hROGKOS for "snort," or "snore." It has to be an old Greek root, and it
appears to me to be the very epitome of an onomatopoetic root, one that
expresses in sound that very nasal snort which is its essential meaning.

Original post by: jayeff,
Hi, Not certain of the circuitry of your music player. Try the following: Connect music via Bluetooth, (output low as it is). Can you hear the music in both speakers or only one? If only one then which one left or right? Next, leaving the Bluetooth music playing, plug a jack into the socket, it doesn't have to be connected to anything at the other end. If the music stops it proves that the socket disconnects the Bluetooth music to the amplifier. Depending on whether you did hear the Bluetooth music in only one speaker and which one will influence what you may look for next. With a lot of sockets there are changeover contacts connected to both the 'tip' and 'ring' connecting springs of the socket. This means that when a jack is inserted these contacts break the existing input circuit to the amplifier section (in your case the Bluetooth music) and connect the jack input to the amplifier circuit. The convention is that the left speaker is connected to the 'tip' connection and the right speaker is connected to the 'ring' connection. The 'tip' is the end of the jack furthest away from the cord and the 'ring' is the next one after the insulating spacer. The last connection is known as the'sleeve' which is closest to the cable and is used for the 'common' for both left and right speakers. So if you are not hearing music in the left speaker and your socket ''does'' have the changeover contact configuration you need to check the connections to both these contacts associated with the tip connector. The same goes for if you have no music in the right speaker you need to check the ring changeover contacts connections. If the music is in both speakers and connecting the jack does not stop the music you may have the other type of socket where there is only a single contact used which either makes or breaks when the jack is inserted and this is used to "tell" the amplifier to switch the input source from the Bluetooth to the socket. It may be that you will have to trace back the circuit from the amplifier input, (following where the tip and ring connections from the socket go will probably lead you to the input) then see if there are other paths that hopefully will lead you to the Bluetooth output and that you may spot the problem. Perhaps a broken connection or a dry joint. Sorry I cannot be more exact and that hopefully it is of some help.

Chain loading
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Chain loading is a method used by computer programs to replace the currently executing program with a new program, using a common data area) to pass information from the current program to the new program. It occurs in several areas of computing.
Chain loading is similar to the use of overlays. Unlike overlays, however, chain loading replaces the currently executing program in its entirety. Overlays usually replace only a portion of the running program. Like the use of overlays, the use of chain loading increases the I/O load of an application.
Chain loading in boot manager programs[edit]
In operating system boot manager programs, chain loading is used to pass control from the boot manager to a boot sector. The target boot sector is loaded in from disk, replacing the in-memory boot sector from which the boot manager itself was bootstrapped, and executed.
Chain loading in Unix[edit]
In Unix (and in Unix-like operating systems), the exec() system call is used to perform chain loading. The program image of the current process is replaced with an entirely new image, and the current thread begins execution of that image. The common data area comprises data such as the process' environment variables, which are preserved across the system call.
Chain loading in BASIC programs[edit]
In BASIC programs, chain loading is the purview of the CHAIN statement (or, in Commodore BASIC, the LOAD statement), which causes the current program to be terminated and the chained-to program to be loaded and invoked (with, on those dialects of BASIC that support it, an optional parameter specifying the line number from which execution is to commence, rather than the default of the first line of the new program). The common data area varies according to the particular dialect of BASIC that is in use. On BBC BASIC, for example, only a specific subset of all variables are preserved across a CHAIN. On other BASICs, the COMMON statement can be used in conjunction with CHAIN to specify which variables are to be preserved as common data across a chain operation.
Chain loading permits BASIC programs to execute more program code than could fit into available program and variable memory. Applications written in BASIC could thus be far larger than the size of working memory, via a set of cooperating programs that CHAIN back and forth amongst themselves as program flow moves within the overall application.
Chain loading in FORTRAN programs[edit]
Many versions of Fortran include a CALL LINK statement that performs chain loading, preserving the contents of COMMON storage.[1] This is not the same as the unrelated LINK subroutine in GNU Fortran.[2]
Chain loading in OS/360[edit]
OS/360 and successors use the XCTL (for "transfer control") macro for chain loading. Because of the operating system's memory management this may or may not result in replacement of the code of the calling program in memory.

they are supercharged, the following conditions
-Run a little faster than flower Pikmin (regardless of whether they are
flowers or leaves, they all run with the same speed).
-Fight much stronger (Enemies and opponent's Pikmin stand little chance).
There are a few other things to note. The condition wears off after about 40
seconds. Also keep in mind that Pikmin who engage enemies and are shaken off
of them will lose the condition faster than the rest of the Pikmin. It's
similar to the gradual loss of flowers on Pikmin when getting shaken off of
an enemy.
Cherries are lying around every level, and are always regenerating. They mix
up the game-sometimes they just annoy the opponent, but at opportune times,
they can very drastically change the game. Cherries are very lightweight,
and only take one Pikmin to carry back to your Onion. One is actually the
minimum and maximum amount; that is to say, you cannot even put two Pikmin
on one cherry to carry one back. Cherries can travel very fast back to the
Onion, usually fast enough to dodge enemies that they might pass by.
However, they may brush by enemies, disturbing them. And if it's a big
Bulborb, that could be very bad. Naturally, a flower Pikmin will travel
faster back with a cherry.
When a cherry reaches the Onion, a roulette will spin for about 5 seconds
and stop on a symbol. This section details what every symbol means and what
to expect from each one. But you may find more than one cherry at one time.
Well, every additional cherry that you receive from the roulette is stored
and marked by a red dot. The roulette appears on the right side of the
screen, and the red dots appear above the roulette. When you use a cherry
(by pressing Y) the condition takes place immediately, and the roulette will
spin again until there are no more red dots (additional cherries stored).
Then the roulette will disappear until another cherry is stored in the
Onion. You can have a maximum of five stored. That's four plus the one the
roulette stopped on. You shouldn't have more than two or three at one time,
anyway. The only way you might have four stored is if you are holding onto
one and collect four more.
There are certain spots in a level that cherries will generate and
regenerate. Typically, only a few cherries can appear at one time in any
particular spot. However, there can be upwards of six available. They will
stop regenerating when there are too many there. Where you find cherries
differs on each level, but usually where you find one, you can find more
regenerate there in the future. But once they are stored in the Onion, they
will continue to regenerate randomly. Another cherry appears about every 10
seconds, so you could easily spare a Pikmin every time you find a cherry to
bring it back to the Onion and get heavily rewarded. In fact, I would highly
recommend taking back all cherries that you find. The rest of this section
covers what each symbol does, and how to use the symbols, and etc. A few of
the symbols were combined since they are very similar in effect.
Each description for the cherries uses these categories.
-Looks Like: What the symbol looks like.
-Effect: What the symbol does when executed.
-Threat Level: The level of threat to your opponent when used or vice versa.
-When it should be used: When the cherry should be executed.
-Notes: Additional descriptive notes on effects and on recommended usage.
Below are the definitions of each description for 'Threat Level'.
-Low: Won't affect your opponent too much.
-Medium: Can cause some negative effects on your opponent.
-High: Will drastically affect your opponent.
-Varies: Can sometimes do Low-High threats. Read Notes for additional
Below are the definitions of each description for 'When it should be used'.
-Always Immediately: Should always be executed immediately.
-Usually Immediately: Should be executed immediately, but sometimes is
better to be held.
-Depends: Sometimes it should be used right away, but may be best to be
Looks Like: Purple goo and Red goo (Two different types of symbols); exact
shape is the yellow nectar that is typically found in most matches.
Effect: Adds one spray to each respective type
Threat Level: Medium
When it should be used: Always Immediately
Notes: These should be pretty straight-forward. There's no reason to hold
onto these cherries (you may of course want to wait to use the actualy
sprays themselves), as you'll want/need all the sprays you can get. See
Section S306 for info on the purple and red sprays. The threat level is
considered Medium because even just one additional spray can mean a victory
in a Pikmin-on-Pikmin battle.
Looks Like: A bomb spider
Effect: Drops a dweevil right on your opponent, and will set off a timer for
a bomb explosion if it spots movement.
Threat Level: Varies
When it should be used: Depends
Notes: Really the only time you absolutely shouldn't use it if you are
engaging your opponent and his Pikmin. You could also wait it out, and use
it when your opponent has the most Pikmin with him. It's also smart to use
this when your opponent is in a small area or a corner. Usually you can
outrun the spider if you call your Pikmin right away and keep running, so
it's not the most effective cherry. There is one little catch to it. If you
drop it on your opponent, and your opponent runs away fast enough, he can
actually escape it before it sees him and sets off the bomb. Of course, it
will not go away, and it will follow anything it sees moving. So if it is
dropped between you and your opponent, and your opponent runs away, the
spider may just decide to come back to you rather than chase after the
opponent. Just be careful, and it could be very effective, if you're lucky.
That is why the threat level varies-it could be devastating or do little to
Looks Like: Two fat white things, one with a red spout, one with a blue
Effect: Drops a fiery or watery blowhog at your opponent's base. If your
opponent has red Pikmin, it will be a watery blowhog. If your opponent has
blue Pikmin, it will be a fiery blowhog. Lasts for 50 seconds.
Threat Level: Medium
When it should be used: Usually Immediately
Notes: This little monster will spray water or fire, depending on which one
would kill the opponent's Pikmin. Since it is dropped at the base, it could
end up killing stray Pikmin that may have been taking something back to the
Onion. This one depends a little on timing, though you can usually use it
immediately and be safe. It could be just as bad for your opponent when he
is at the base than when he isn't at the base.
Let's consider both opportunities. If your opponent isn't at his base, you
should only use it if you know there are stray Pikmin there to be affected
by the enemy. However, it may be in your best interest to just use it and
move on to another cherry.
But what if your opponent is there? He may be trying to pick some Pikmin out
of the ground, and with the rest of his army running crazy from fire/water,
it can be hectic for him. And stalling him can be a good thing. The enemy
isn't too hard to defeat, so the threat level remains at Medium.
But what if it happens to you? Usually, it is unwise to interrupt what you
are doing to go back to your base to save a few Pikmin. But if you are
caught at your base with one, it may be wise to destroy it quickly as to not
impede your progress. And keep in mind that you and your opponent can send
in as many of these guys as the cherries will allow.
Looks Like: A big orange puffy balloon.
Effect: Drops an orange blowhog at your opponent's base; blows Pikmin making
them stumble and lose their flowers, if they have any. Lasts for 50 seconds.
Threat Level: Low
When it should be used: Usually Immediately
Notes: This enemy will become a problem for your opponent if he is at the
base. But either way, stray Pikmin at the base will lose their flowers,
which will make it harder on your opponent.
It may be helpful to hold onto it until your opponent comes by his base, or
when you are away form the base, but since it isn't a huge burden either
way, it's usually best to simply execute it right away. It will also cause
your opponent to fall down, so it will be more effective if your opponent is
there. Then again, you could use it when your opponent isn't there, and
there will be an unpleasant surprise waiting for him when he gets back. But
to move onto another cherry, for you, it's probably best to use it right
If this beast is in your base, it may be worth your time to bring it down.
Of course, if all of your Pikmin

Settlement reached in George Michael's estate
In October last year, news broke that the late George Michael's partner of four years, Kenny Goss, was purportedly bringing a claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 (the 1975 Act) for reasonable financial provision. This was due to him having been excluded from George's will. It was reported that Kenny was claiming £15,000 per month maintenance from George's £100 million estate. It is also reported that a settlement has just been reached in respect of this claim.
This is a good opportunity to run back through the requirements for a 1975 Act claim and how they may be applied in this scenario.
Once you get over the hurdle of the deceased being domiciled in England and Wales, there is a limited group of people who can bring a claim under the 1975 Act. These are:
 1. A spouse or civil partner;
 2. A former spouse or civil partner;
 3. A child of the deceased (including adult children);
 4. Any person who was treated as a child of the deceased;
 5. Any person who was being maintained immediately by the deceased immediately prior to the deceased's death; and
 6. A cohabitee of the deceased.
As George and Kenny's relationship ended in some time ago (more than two years prior to George's death), the claim most likely would have been brought under category (e). This is where Kenny would have claimed that he was being maintained by George immediately prior to George's death.
The court, in the scenario of a dependant being maintained, considers what sum is reasonably required for the person's maintenance. That figure can be capitalised (turned into a lump sum) and housing provision could be ordered.
There are also strict time limits to bring a claim. Claims under the 1975 Act should be brought within six months of the grant of probate being issued.
As the settlement was confidential, we simply do not know what was agreed or how the timings would have worked given that the grant of probate was issued in May 2019. But it does highlight how freedom of testamentary disposition (the freedom to leave your estate to whomever you choose) is not clear cut. Claims under the 1975 Act are very common and we regularly advise upon them; whether advising the person not sufficiently provided for, the executor of the estate or the beneficiaries who would be affected as a result of the claim.

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

Hello, uses mongoDB, which has another way to generate IDs, so it doesn't increment the ID in the database.

County fairs are one of the most entertaining and informative public events that are conducted by various communities. There are a lot of exhibitions, games and food stalls at the event. People gather at the exhibit to showcase their culture and talent. Many exciting games are also conducted for the individuals who come to the fair.
County fairs are usually conducted to teach people about various things so that they can use in their daily living. The activities that are held at the county fair are mostly related to agriculture and animal husbandry. There are also exhibitions conducted for painting, sculpting, quilt making, ornaments making, flower decorations, crafts and various other things.
The following are the various types of County Fairs:
A county fair is mostly organized to bring out various ideas about improving agriculture and to educate people who live in a town that has a significant agricultural base. Initially, these county fairs were started in the early 1940s when communities wanted to teach people the various techniques about agriculture and the ways to increase their produce. There are also plenty of games and competitions that are conducted to award the farmer who has produced the best crop. Many courses are conducted for the public so that they become aware of how to increase their harvest.
Some county fairs are specific only for livestock. The activities at the event are mostly related to animal husbandry. For example, if the people of a town are more involved with livestock then the activities of the county fairs are based on animal husbandry. Individuals are taught how to improve the condition of their farms and animals by providing them education through courses, exhibitions, and presentations. After the fair, they start to give better care to their livestock, and this improves their flock's condition and the condition of their living. Prizes are awarded to individuals who produce the hardiest flocks; by doing this, others get inspired and motivated to improve their cattle.
These fairs are a great way to teach the younger generation about the culture of a particular county. Many good things and practices from the past are slowly deteriorating, and thus it is essential for the newer generations to learn about it.
Various mediums of art such as painting, sculpting, wood carving, quilt making, etc. are exhibited in the county fair. If you happen to be an expert with artwork, you can exhibit your painting or crafts and might even have the chance to meet your favorite artist or get a potential contact which would be helpful for your future career in that particular field.

Описание книги
Can the worlds of science and philosophy work together to recognise our destructive emotions such as hatred, craving, and delusion? Bringing together ancient Buddhist wisdom and recent breakthroughs in a variety of fields from neuroscience to child development, Daniel Goleman's extraordinary book offers fresh insights into how we can recognise and transform our destructive emotions. Out of a week-long discussion between the Dalai Lama and small group of eminent psychologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers, Goleman weaves together a compelling narrative account. Where do these destructive emotions (craving, anger and delusion, known in Buddhism as the three poisons) come from? And how can we transform them to prevent them from threatening humanity's collective safety and its future?

CMA (Tacoma) Spring Science Classes
June 05, 2018
In June of 2018, associates CMA (Tacoma) volunteered to visit Elk Plain School of Choice to teach an experimental science class to 7th and 8th grade students. Over the course of two days, associates presented to five classes, totaling about 110 students.
Each class had a volunteer begin the presentation with a quick introduction of CMA and the other volunteers assisting during the classes. The presentation focused on environmental issues such as water shortages and possible solutions to these issues; a topic that the students had focused on throughout their time at the school. One solution to the water shortages presented to the students was a product made by Toray called the Ultrafiltration Membrane, as well as facilities that are used to process water for consumption. Students gathered into small groups as volunteers demonstrated the process using a UF Membrane by filtering clear sugar water from orange juice.
Afterwards, the lesson moved on Global Warming and introduced the students to carbon fiber and prepreg. Students were the process to make carbon fiber and prepreg, and the environmental benefits from it, such as reducing the amount of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. Concluding the lesson, students were able to see and discuss finished products made with carbon fiber and future career opportunities.
CMA is proud to discuss science and innovation with the local community, and looks forward to visiting more schools in the future.


text: This article reviews the results of bone collagen stable carbon and nitrogen isotope paleodietary studies conducted in Australia. Stable isotopic analyses of prehistoric human and faunal bones and teeth provide a means to assess past Aboriginal dietary patterns and habitat use, palaeoclimate, and palaeoecology. In some cases, the relative consumption of marine versus terrestrial foods or use of C3-vs C4-based foods within terrestrial ecosystems and access to these various habitats can be inferred from stable isotope values. The relationship between mortuary variability and dietary differences can also be addressed. In addition, stable carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and strontium isotopes can provide information about changes in past rainfall patterns, climate and plant and animal distributions. Thus, stable isotope studies provide an independent method to assist with the reconstruction of prehistoric subsistence-settlement systems, social systems, and palaeoecology. These biochemical data can supplement information obtained from conventional archaeological studies. Potential contributions of stable isotope research to Australian archaeology and future research directions are discussed.

text: Genetic structure of 142 parent lines of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] was analyzed using model-based approach based on SSR markers. Forty-one selected from 103 SSR markers were used to analyze the parent lines, which generated 189 alleles revealed by each marker ranging from 2 to 11 with an average of 4.6 per marker. The polymorphic information content (PIC) value was 0.543 with a range of 0.089 to 0.850. All the parent lines were assigned to 7 subgroups, named Kafir, Kaoliang, Feterita, Shallu, Hegari, Milo and Durra. Parent lines without clear pedigree record were clustered into their corresponding groups, and genetic components of each line were estimated by Q-values. Information of this study would be useful for breeders to conclude their genetic background and select appropriate parents for germplasm improvement and hybrid breeding, and thus improve the efficiency of breeding programs.

Maximum altitude of airplanes
Name: janette l gubala
Date: Around 1995
How high can an airplane go?
Well, an "airplane" can go fly as high as it is designed for. More specifically, fighter planes have been known to go to around 90,000+ feet.
Experimental planes (X15) can go much higher if need be. It all depends on
the type of engine being used. Jet engines cannot be used in highly
rarified (thin) air, because they are air-breathing in nature. Rocket
engines can be use at any altitude, including space.
I thought the official altitude record for a jet powered aircraft was around
80,000 feet, set by the SR-71 Blackbird, although the actual altitude
achievable by the Blackbird is still classified. Experimental aircraft like
the X-15 that can go higher are rocket powered.

Ribbons and Dials
Version: DashboardsClassic
Each dashboard holds one or more dials, which may be contained in ribbons (freeform dashboards do not use ribbons, while standard dashboards do). You can collapse a ribbon by clicking the arrow in its upper right corner:
Example a Ribbon
If a ribbon contains more dials than can be displayed, scroll buttons appear in the upper right of the ribbon. Click the arrows (highlighted below) to scroll left or right through the ribbon.
If you have editing permissions, you can use the Visual Designer to edit and create ribbons. See Creating and Managing Components for more information.
Dial User Interface
There are numerous features available within each dial. When you point to a dial, buttons appear in its upper right corner to offer you access to those features. To view the options available from each button, point to the button itself.
Action Menu Button
The Action menu offers access to the following dial features:
 - Dial Snapshot:Opens the Snapshot Manager, which lets you take a snapshot of the dial, download it in different formats, send it as an email attachment, and schedule regular snapshots to be taken.
 - Export Data: Lets you export the data populating the dial as a comma separated value (.csv) file for viewing in other applications such as MS Excel and other spreadsheet applications.
 - Design Dial: (Available only to users with Visual Designer permission) opens a subset of editors you can use to make changes to the dial. Any changes you ake to the dial are saved.
 - Modify Filter: Opens the Filters Editor from the Visual Designer, but any changes you make last only for the current session.
Drill Menu Button
The Drill menu lets you drill down into data shown in the dial.
Dials whose data comes from modeled or cube sheets only show the drill dimensions that apply to that sheet. Dials whose data comes from standard sheets show all the drill dimensions that exist. The following example uses the Drill menu to drill by location:
Example of Drill Tree
You can also access this menu by clicking a data point on an individual dial, and drilling just into that data.
As you drill down, new dials appear, creating a drill tree so you can always see how you got to the data you are viewing. If you want to share a drill tree, click Options at the top of the screen and select Printer-Friendly View. This opens a new window with just the drill tree in it, so you can print it or use screen capture software to make an image.
When you're finished with a drill tree, click the X in the upper right of the top dial to close it.
You can also enter the Cell Explorer by clicking an individual data point and selecting Explore Data.
Information Menu Button
The Information menu button & gives you access to some or all of the following dial features, depending on the dial:
 - About: Displays a box with information about the dial.
 - Show Consolidated View: Launches a new window with a dial consolidating the data from the original dial. This typically presents the data over a longer time span. For example, if the original dial displays the inventory levels for a month, the consolidated dial displays the inventory levels for the year.
 - Show Detailed View: Launches a second window containing a detailed view of the dial. This is typically a more detailed data breakdown. For example, the original dial may show the data for a one quarter period. The detailed dial may show the values for each month within the quarter.
 - Reset View: Reverses any changes you have made to a dial and returns the dial to its original state.
 - Options: Choose whether zone alerts are visible on the dial or not.
If you have permission to access the analysis tools, the menu lists all available analysis options for the dial at the end of the menu. Different dials have different analysis options, but here are some of the most common ones:
 - Standard View: Returns you to the dial's normal appearance.
 - Basic Analysis options:
 - Min and Max: Highlights the minimum and maximum values.
 - Average: Highlights the average of the data.
 - Standard Deviation: In statistics and probability theory, standard deviation shows how much variation, or "dispersion," exists from the average (the mean, or expected value). A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a large range of values. This chart shows the mean and standard deviation values of the dial's data.
 - Linear Trendline: Shows you a best-fit straight line that is used with simple linear data sets. Your data is linear if the pattern in its data points resembles a line. A linear trendline usually shows that something is increasing or decreasing at a steady rate.
 - Polynomial Trendline: A curved line that is used when data fluctuates. It is useful, for example, for analyzing gains and losses over a large data set. The order of the polynomial can be determined by the number of fluctuations in the data or by how many bends (hills and valleys) appear in the curve.
 - Description for a visualization: Explains what a dial looks like.
 - Moving Average: Smooths out fluctuations in data to show a pattern or trend more clearly. A moving average uses a specific number of data points, averages them, and uses the average value as a point in the line.
 - Correlation Chart: A scatter plot and a linear regression line. A scatter plot (or "scattergraph") is a type of mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinates to display values for two variables for a set of data. Correlation is indicated by the line of best fit determined by linear regression on the data set.
 - Statistical Analysis
 - Control Chart: Also known as a Shewhart chart or process-behavior chart, this is a tool used in statistical process control to determine whether a manufacturing or business process is in a state of statistical control. The "Individuals Control Chart" uses data samples that are individual measurements. Control charts for individual measurements, such as where the sample size = 1, use the moving range of two successive observations to measure the process variability. The moving range is defined as the absolute value of the first difference (such as the difference between two consecutive data points) of the data. Similar to the Shewhart control chart, you can plot both the data (the individuals) and the moving range. For the control chart for individual measurements, the lines plotted are: UCL (Upper Control Limit), Centerline, and LCL (Lower Control Limit).
 - Pareto: This shows a type of chart that contains both bars and a line graph, where individual values are represented in descending order by bars, and the cumulative total is represented by the line. The purpose of the Pareto chart is to highlight the most important among a (typically large) set of factors.
 - Variance Analysis
 - Relative Variance: Shows you the point-by-point difference between two data sets relative to the first data set.
 - Actual Variance: Shows you the point-by-point difference between two data sets compared to zero.
 - Waterfall: Helps in determining the cumulative effect of sequentially introduced positive or negative values. The waterfall chart is also known as a flying bricks chart or Mario chart due to the apparent suspension of columns (bricks) in mid-air. Often in finance, it is referred to as a bridge.
 - Period Analysis
 - Previous Period: Shows you a comparison of two data sets, one representing the current period and the second representing the preceding calendar period of the same type.
 - Comparable Period: Shows you a comparison of two data sets, one representing the current period and the second representing the same calendar period from the previous year.
Data Points
When a dial displays data, individual data points are displayed as dots along the line, bar, or other form of data display.
Clicking a data point displays a menu:
Example of a Data Point Menu
The data point menu's options (some options may not be available, depending on your configuration):
 - Notes: Users can put notes on dials for others to see. Select Notes in the point menu to open the Notes dialog. Notes can be formatted in a number of ways, including font and color. When you are finished, click Save.
 When a note is present on a point, the Note button appears. Clicking it displays the Notes dialog, where you can see that data point's note as well as a history of the note. To edit the note, click Edit. When you are done, click Save and Close to save your work and dismiss the dialog, or click Close to dismiss it without saving.
 - Show [Period]: The period(s) available for you to click varies according to the dial. For example, if a dial displays a month of data, the menu might offer Show Weeks. If you click Show Weeks, a drill down trail showing the data by weeks appears, and you can continue to drill in whatever way is useful.
 - [Dimension name]: This is another drill down capability. The dimensions shown in the dial are offered here for you to drill down into whatever you need.
 - Show Table: Displays a table of all the raw data submitted to the data in the dial during the selected time period.
 - What if...: This analysis tool appears to users who have the Use Analysis Tools permission. When

- Upset stomach.
- Dry mouth.
How long does it take for a weight loss pill to work?
Most weight loss with the medication occurs within the first few months. If you have adhered to the diet and exercise plan and have not lost at least 5 percent of your initial body weight within a few months, continuing the medication may be of little benefit.
Does Garcinia affect your heart?
Garcinia might increase a brain chemical called serotonin. Pentazocine (Talwin) also increases serotonin. In theory, taking Garcinia along with pentazocine (Talwin) might increase serotonin too much. This could cause serious side effects including heart problems, shivering, and anxiety.
Can Garcinia cause liver damage?
Weight loss products labeled as containing Garcinia cambogia been linked to the development of clinically apparent acute liver injury which can be severe and even fatal.

Developed and tested by Dr. Ed Root, the IEDRO Strip Chart Digitizer program retrieves data from scanned strip chart images and converts them into an accurate computer-readable format.
IEDRO's Strip Chart Digitizer Program
Developed and tested by Dr. Ed Root, the IEDRO Strip Chart Digitizer program retrieves data from scanned strip chart images and converts them into an accurate computer-readable format. The program is five to ten times faster than a trained person performing hand tracing.
Hydrometeorological "strip charts" record the changes in parameter values over time. Observational data such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, precipitation, stream flow, wind direction and speed, etc., are recorded as a pen trace on a grid. These charts are mounted on cylinders which rotate at a constant speed, and a pen, attached to a mechanical device, records the changes in parameter values over time. Depending on the speed at which the cylinder turns, the charts may represent parameter changes over a 24-hour period or a 7-day week.
Prior to the construction of the IEDRO Strip Chart Digitization Program, the process of extracting information from these charts and digitizing the values over specific periods of time involved manually running a digitizing pen over the trace on the chart (which was mounted on a light table), and then entering the data on a form. This manual process usually took 15 to 20 minutes of effort.
Dr. Ed Root, one of IEDRO's talented volunteers, spent nearly 3 years developing a computer program that will take a scanned or digitally photographed image of one of these charts and digitize the entire chart at any time interval requested. The digitized data can be provided in a comma delimited file or transcribed in a table. The time required for the program to digitize a chart? Less than 5 seconds!

Cross and Ball,
so universally marked on Egyptian figures, is a circle and the letter \??\. The circle signifies the eternal preserver of the world, and the \??\ is the monogram of Thoth, the Egyptian Mercury, meaning wisdom.
The coronation orb is a sphere or ball surmounted by a cross, an emblem of empire introduced in representations of our Saviour. In this case the cross stands above the ball, to signify that the spiritual power is above the temporal.

Longmen Caves China
Longmen Caves China carved by human hands for 634 years. They are located next to the ancient capital Luoyang. The city has a population of over 7 million and has several attractions. One is the caves with rock frescoes, which were started in 493. Longmen Caves are visible if you are sailing on the Yi River. They are part of China's world cultural heritage. Such rock complexes of similar size are still in three places.
The Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, the Yungang Caves in Datong and the Dazu Caves in Chongqing, which I have already published. The caves are located in the valley of the Yihe River between the fragrant mountain and Longmen mountain. The construction of the caves began in the Northern Wei dynasty and lasted about 400 years until the Tang dynasty. There are a total of 2345 niches, over 100,000 Buddha statues and more than 2,800 inscriptions.
The largest statue is the 17-meter Vairocana Buddha and the smallest micro-engraving figure of the Buddha is only 2 inches high. Hundreds of thousands of stonemasons have carved into the nearby rocks. Most of the statues are well preserved, or at least the ones I saw.
It is amazing how they are preserved or protected from the weather (rain and wind). The panoramic tour is well done, but be prepared to climb over 800 steps and as many more to descend to see the main part of the statues. Bookmark and Share

 - Xiangshan Temple
 - White Park South Gate

I must also write that on both sides of the Yihe River you can see everything down to the smallest statue. Quite a laborious job if you ask me. I saw a similar scale of figures carved into the rocks in the mystical stone city Petra.
There are carved stairs next to each statue in the rocks, but unfortunately they are not accessible to tourists for obvious reasons. There are small holes in which small statues of Buddha are carved.
Across the river is the Xiangshan Temple Buddhist Complex opposite the Longmen Caves, the Grottoes of the Dragon Gate, in Luoyang City with its characteristic curved, colorful pagoda roofs. The influence of Indian culture is felt here. If you buy a ticket you can visit everything in this attraction.
It is much cheaper than just exploring the Longmen Caves of China. The whole complex is a pedestrian zone, which is a great advantage for tourists. Everything is very well maintained, not to mention the cleanliness. In general, in China you need a lifetime to look at everything properly. We hope we have been helpful to you. In this city of Luoyang, I had the kindest welcome at the hotel where I was staying.
As usual the only foreigner. I guess they even gave me a more expensive room than the one I had booked. Every day they wrote to me on a note that I was a valuable guest, they left a plate with bananas, cherry tomatoes and yogurt in the room, which they then told me was normal for a very valuable (respected) guest. They offered extra free mineral water and in the end they even took me to the station in a company car. I'm not sure why I was so served.
Also, in this city I went to eat at a market next to a fenced neighborhood (closed ghetto), where they cooked very tasty and it was very cheap and I was very happy to eat among ordinary people.

. The Snail 1953
The final masterpiece by Matisse is as amazing as his early ones. He spend so much time making this painting. It depicts Henri's interpretation of a snail. He actually closely studies snails before making the painting. It is a nearly 3 square meter composition, and made with his gouache on paper technique. Matisse created this painting when he was no longer able to paint. Therefore, he had help of assistants to make it.

- stump (n.)
- mid-14c., "remaining part of a severed arm or leg," from or cognate with Middle Low German stump (from adjective meaning "mutilated, blunt, dull"), Middle Dutch stomp "stump," from Proto-Germanic *stump- (cf. Old Norse stumpr, Old High German and German stumpf "stump," German Stummel "piece cut off"), perhaps related to the root of stub or stamp, but the connection in each case presents difficulties.
Earliest form of the word in English is a now-obsolete verb meaning "to stumble over a tree-stump or other obstacle," attested from mid-13c. Meaning "part of a tree trunk left in the ground after felling" is from mid-15c. Sense of "walk clumsily" is first recorded c.1600; that of "baffle" is first recorded 1807, perhaps in reference to plowing newly cleared land.
- stump (v.)
- "to go on a speaking tour during a political campaign," 1838, American English, from phrase stump speech (1820), from stump (n.), large tree stumps being a natural perch for rural orators (this custom is attested from 1775).

The Royal Asiatic Society presents:
Royal Asiatic Society 'Britain Nepal 200' Lecture Series
Dr John Whelpton (CU Hong Kong) – Jang Bahadur in Europe
John Whelpton's talk looks at the 1850 visit to London and Paris by Jang Bahadur Rana, founder of the Rana family regime which ruled Nepal from 1846 to 1951. As the first Hindu head of government to cross the 'black water' and travel to Europe, Jang was a media sensation, while his first-hand observation of British power led him to side with the East India Company against the revolt of 1857 in northern India. the speaker will draw on material from his book Jang Bahadur in Europe: The First Nepalese Mission to the West, shortly to be published in a revised edition by Mandala in Kathmandu. This combines a translation and commentary on an account of the embassy written by one of Jang's travelling companions with extensive extracts from contemporary British and French press coverage, providing a detailed portrait of how two cultures appeared to one another.

1.9 syntax. As you can see, the code executes quite speedily which makes it perfect for a githook.
A pre-commit hook that checks code complexity and returns non-zero for any score higher than 61 works quite well. And since you can always bypass with --no-verify, it won't prevent you from your normal workflow if you don't want to bother.
Now that you've got your footing with Flog, let's talk about coverage.
Code Coverage
This seems a simple concept, but has surprising depth. Also, the terms used to describe the types of coverage are difficult to research and disambiguate. Before we go much further, I'll describe a few terms that you'll be expected to know if you want to dive into measuring code coverage in your projects.
 - C1 coverage – This is basic statement coverage (also what simplecov uses). One of the most basic measurements. Simply measures that each statement is executed (or at least loaded) through tests.
 - C2 coverage – This is branch coverage. Measures that there is a test for each edge of the flow.
There are a number of other types of coverage measurements that are useful. If you are curious, I'd reccommend reading this paper on the various types of coverage. We'll primarily be focusing on C1 and C2 with simplecov, so I won't belabour the point anymore. But know that there are many ways to define test coverage.
The Advantages
The advantages of tracking code test coverage is pretty obvious. You'll be able to look at which areas in your code base are the most secure, and which are in most need of attention.
A word of warning: Code coverage as mentioned earlier, can be gamed with relative ease. Be sure to use this only to give you an idea of where you stand and don't build incentives around it. As always with code metrics, use thoughtful discretion when trying to gain actionable insight into your programs.
Getting Started with Coverage
As briefly mentioned before, we'll be using simplecov. Simplecov is a gem that can be easily integrated into a Rails app or other Ruby project, and provides a snazzy little html page that shows your test coverage.
Installation is a little bit more intense than the previous tools listed here, but is still pretty straightforward. Add the following line to your test/spec_helper and run your tests.
require'simplecov'
Then open coverage/index.html and you'll see something that looks like this:
Image from simplecov's github page.[7]
To see a highlighted version where red shows the lines not executed, you can click the file paths. And that's basically that.
C1 (statement coverage) is what simplecov reports, and while you can't use this information to quantify exactly how healthy your program is, you can use this overview to give you a place to start. This is especially useful for legacy applications, where you may not know yet exactly where the problem areas are.
Let's Recap
We looked at these:
 1. Cyclomatic complexity- a graphical measurement of the number of possible paths through the normal flow of a program.
 - Saikuro – Analyzes cyclomatic complexity and writes a nice report for evaluation.
 2. ABC metric- a method by which scores are gathered for each componentassignment, branching, and calls, then calculated into a score that can be easily understood.
 - Flog – An opinionated and robust commandline tool that runs the ABC metric.
 3. Code Coverage- a measure used in software testing used to describe the degree to which the source code of a program has been tested.
 - Simplecov – A nice test-coverage report tool that integrates easily into Rails and other Ruby projects.
Where to Begin
All of the tools discussed above are a good way to get started. If I were to start using code metrics today, I'd begin with Flog. There are good resources out there with information on how to get up and running with it, and I believe its opinionated nature will get you to start asking questions that you might not think about otherwise. Start by using the measurement Jake Scruggs (see above) came up with as a rule of thumb and really think about where that complexity is coming from. Once you've gotten a feel how Flog identifies overly complex code, move on to the other tools and begin to get a feel for how they relate.
Start by building a workflow that involves code metrics. It doesn't have to be something as complicated as a githook even. Maybe just make it a habit to run Flog before merging a branch, or run a suite of metrics before your next code review.
Hopefully, this has whet your appetite for information about your code. Understanding how complexity is measured and where that complexity lives in your code is an incredible advantage for development. This article has barely even scratched the surface of code metrics. Really smart people have been working on this for decades and it shows. There are tremendous resources out there to explore all the different aspects of this study. Go and investigate. Oh, and thanks for reading. ^_^

How Much Water Should You Be Drinking During Pregnancy?
Is being pregnant driving you to drink? As a mum-to-be, it's absolutely essential to keep hydrated and be doubly sure that you're drinking enough water.
Drinking plenty of water is so important when you're pregnant. Here's why it's so essential during pregnancy to stay hydrated, plus how many glasses mum-to-be's should aim to drink each day.
Here's a few need to know benefits to how much water your need to prevent haemorrhoids and other pregnancy symptoms, to ensure your water intake is safe is more important than ever.
Why is it important to hydrate during pregnancy?
Ever wonder how all the good stuff in the prenatal vitamins and healthy foods you're faithfully consuming every day are shipped to your foetus? It all starts with water, which helps your body absorb essentials nutrients into the cells and transports vitamins, minerals and hormones to the blood cells. It's those nutrient-rich blood cells that reach the placenta and ultimately your baby — all with the help of H2O.
How much water should you drink during pregnancy?
You'll need more water to keep your system running for two during pregnancy. Though it really varies based on your body type and size, how active you are, and so on, the general rule of thumb is somewhere between eight and 10 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Be sure to talk to your practitioner about what works for you and your situation.
Be sure to sip before, during and after you exercise, or if you find yourself outside on a hot day. Note, too, that if you feel thirsty, it's a sign that your body is already on its way to being dehydrated.
How can you tell if you're getting enough? If your trips to the bathroom are frequent and your urine is pale or colourless, your drinking is on track.
What are the benefits of staying hydrated during pregnancy?
 1. Prevents constipation and haemorrhoids. Now that you're pregnant you're not just eating and drinking for two, you are also excreting for two. That means you'll have trash to get out your system, more than ever before. Keeping hydrated will help dissolve the waste products and flush them through your system.
 - Avoid overheating. If you drink water during pregnancy, you can keep the body's cooling system running smoothly - even when your inner thermostat is cranked all the way up - by dispersing excess heat in the form of sweat.
 - Fights fatigue. An ample flow of fluids also keeps pregnancy fatigue in check - one of the first symptoms of dehydration is exhaustion - and can keep headaches at bay (another dehydration symptom).
What other drinks can you drink during pregnancy?
Maybe you're fancying something a little different, that's no problem - There are plenty other liquids that might just fit the cut:
 - Milk (a small glass of skimmed milk yields just under 200ml of water)
 - Sparkling or flavoured waters
 - Fruit and vegetable juices (watch out for added sugar in fruit juice and added sodium in veggie drinks)
 - Decaffeinated teas
You should, however, limit your intake of soda, as well as other beverages containing caffeine, since they have a diuretic effect.
Is it safe to drink tap water when you're pregnant?
It's never a bad idea to assess the cleanliness of your drinking water — and that's especially true when you're pregnant. While most of the water you drink likely comes from public water systems and is generally safe to drink, it can be contaminated with high levels of chemicals that could harm a foetus, including lead, mercury and arsenic. In addition, there is increasing evidence that BPA (an industrial chemical that mimics oestrogen and is found in some plastics) can be problematic when you're expecting.
Did you know?
20% of your daily water intake comes from food sources. Fruits pack the most water: One 130g of watermelon or cantaloupe provides just under 150ml of water; a medium-size pear or 130g of strawberries provides about 130ml; a medium size orange has 120ml.

A Soft Processor Overlay with Tightly-coupled FPGA Accelerator
06/21/2016 ∙ by Ho-Cheung Ng, et al. ∙ 0
FPGA overlays are commonly implemented as coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures with a goal to improve designers' productivity through balancing flexibility and ease of configuration of the underlying fabric. To truly facilitate full application acceleration, it is often necessary to also include a highly efficient processor that integrates and collaborates with the accelerators while maintaining the benefits of being implemented within the same overlay framework. This paper presents an open-source soft processor that is designed to tightly-couple with FPGA accelerators as part of an overlay framework. RISC-V is chosen as the instruction set for its openness and portability, and the soft processor is designed as a 4-stage pipeline to balance resource consumption and performance when implemented on FPGAs. The processor is generically implemented so as to promote design portability and compatibility across different FPGA platforms. Experimental results show that integrated software-hardware applications using the proposed tightly-coupled architecture achieve comparable performance as hardware-only accelerators while the proposed architecture provides additional run-time flexibility. The processor has been synthesized to both low-end and high-performance FPGA families from different vendors, achieving the highest frequency of 268.67MHz and resource consumption comparable to existing RISC-V designs.

Modeling the formation and deposition of frazil ice beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf
Andreas Bombosch, Adrian Jenkins
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
Large areas of the Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf are underlain by layers of marine ice, which form when supercooled seawater circulating beneath the ice shelf freezes. The freezing process initially produces a suspension of disc‐shaped frazil ice crystals, and these are subs quently deposited onto the ice shelf base in areas where the flow of water is slack enough. This has been modeled assuming that the freezing takes place within buoyant plumes of Ice Shelf Water ascending the ice shelf base from source regions near the grounding lines of the major inlet glaciers. The deposition of the majority of the suspended frazil ice is found to occur in spatially discrete bursts, where peak rates of accumulation at the ice shelf base exceed 1 m yr−1 of solid ice. There is a good correlation between the location of the zones of crystal deposition and the position of the upstream limits of the marine ice layers. The high rates of localized accumulation account for the rapid buildup observed in the layer thickness, which then gradually declines as the marine ice is carried downstream with the flow of the ice shelf. Model results also suggest an origin for the ice platelets observed at depth in the water column near the Filchner Ice Shelf.
