Berkeley's Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Michael Chabon's latest novel, "Telegraph Avenue," has just hit bookstores to critical acclaim. But let's not forget his triumphs of the past:
1. "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh," (1988). This coming-of-age tale set during the early 1980s in Pittsburgh, Penn, was Chabon's first novel, which he began writing as a 21-year-old undergrad. One of his advisors sent it to a literary agent.
2. "Wonder Boys," (1995). Here we meet two unforgettable characters: Grady Tripp, a former publishing prodigy now struggling with infidelity and a stalled novel, and Grady's student, James Leer, a budding writer obsessed with Hollywood self-destruction. The book became a movie of the same name in 2000.
3. "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay," (2000). Chabon won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2001 for this novel that follows the lives of two Jewish cousins in the comics industry before, during, and after World War II.
4. "The Yiddish Policemen's Union," (2007). A hard-boiled detective story that imagines an alternate history in which Israel collapsed in 1948 and European Jews settled in Alaska.
5. "The Gentlemen of the Road," (2007). This was a 15-part serialized novel that ran in the New York Times Magazine. Chabon described it as a "swashbuckling adventure," following two Jewish bandits in Khazaria, now southwest Russia, around the year 950.

Purpose : Recently, we developed a novel active learning framework, qVFM, to map visual functions in the visual field. The method has been implemented and validated in measuring light sensitivity and contrast sensitivity visual field maps (VFMs) of normal observers. In this study, we evaluated the performance of the qVFM method in mapping the light sensitivity VFM of simulated patients with peripheral scotoma, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and cataract.
Methods : For each simulated patient, we sampled 100 locations (60 × 60 degrees) of the visual field and compared the performance of the qVFM method with a procedure that tests each location independently (the qYN method) in a cued Yes/No task. Two different switch modules, the distribution sampling method (DSM) and parameter delivering method (PDM), were implemented in the qVFM method. Simulated runs of 1,200 trials were used to compare the accuracy and precision of the qVFM-DSM, qVFM-PDM and qYN methods.
Results : The qVFM method with both switch modules can provide accurate, precise, and efficient assessments of the light sensitivity VFM for the simulated patients, with the qVFM-PDM method better at detecting VFM deficits in the simulated glaucoma.
Conclusions : The qVFM method can be used to characterize residual vision of simulated ophthalmic patients. The study sets the stage for further investigation with real patients and potential translation of the method into clinical practice.

What is a Wellhead Pumper?
A wellhead pumper operates power pumps and other equipment so that gas or oil can flow from the oil well. The job is known by a number of other terms, including operations technician, rig technician, pumper and well tender. Work is performed within a strong safety culture that follows detailed and exact safety regulations. Environmental rules also must be closely followed. The pumper's job involves bringing an oil, gas, or mining product from a well up to the surface by means of pumps and compressors. The pumper starts the compressor engine and opens valves to return compressed gas to the bottom of the well. The pump depressurizes the pipe and forces oil to rise to the surface. The wellhead pumper then must monitor the flow as the product travels to make sure it is moving at the proper rate. Once the pump has brought the product to the surface, the pumper transfers it to storage tanks or trucks that move it offsite. Although the wellhead pumper has long been a traditional part of the oil and gas industry, increased use of automated storage and retrieval systems has increased productivity and lessened the need for wellhead pumpers.
No one's written a review on this career yet. You could be the first!
What does a Wellhead Pumper do?
The wellhead pumper is responsible for all aspects of the pumping operations: assembling pumps, attaching hoses to wellheads, starting the compressor, operating the pumps and monitoring flow. Monitoring is generally done by computer control panel, and the pumper must watch that the oil, or the material being extracted, is pumped at the correct pressure, rate, and density. He or she needs to operate the pumps, open valves and shut them off as required by production schedules, and redirect flow into storage tanks. Any blockages in the pipes must be quickly identified and repaired. Routine maintenance of equipment is part of the job, and meters and gauges also need to be maintained and repaired if necessary.
Depending on the product being extracted, the pumper may also be responsible for blending acids and chemicals and controlling equipment used to fracture gas and oil wells or rock formations. Sometimes they are responsible for driving trucks and other transport vehicles on the site.
The pumper may need to supervisor other workers on the job site; the team works together to keep production running smoothly, keeping the product flowing from the ground through the pipes and into storage facilities. The team assembles the rigs and tears equipment down, and starts and stops production following specific schedules. All the work is done in compliance with strict safety regulations. Paperwork needs to be completed, such as daily reports and communication with supervisors.
An essential part of the job role is emergency preparedness. Should an oil spill occur, or a wellhead blow out, environmental damage could be considerable. The pumper needs to be familiar with environmental regulations and follow the rules and know the proper procedures should a problem occur.
What does it take to be a Wellhead Pumper?
The education required to be a wellhead pumper is generally at minimum a high school diploma. Much of the job is learned on site, with companies providing training. Some vocational training is often preferred. This could include certificates related to Occupational Health and Safety, confined spaces, dangerous materials handling, H2S and first aid. Performance evaluations are also conducted on a regular basis to ensure skill maintenance.
As the job primarily involves the operation of pumps used in oil production, a pumper needs to have comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of the production process. They need to understand quality control procedures and pay very close attention to safety at all times. Monitoring gauges and measurement tools means the pumper should have good multitasking abilities, be a critical thinker able to solve complex problems, and be able to exercise good judgment and make sound decisions under pressure.
A pumper also needs good mechanical skills, and an understanding of machines and tools, operation and maintenance. Knowledge of raw materials is helpful, although much of this is learned on the job. Good mathematical ability is important. Good eyesight and hand-eye coordination are also required. Workers need to be physically fit and have strength and durability. With most jobs in the oil, gas and mining industry, drug tests are required. Many large companies also do psychological testing to ensure a worker is able to exercise good judgment in an emergency and shows no instability.
What is the workplace of a Wellhead Pumper like?
Most employment opportunities are in oil and gas extraction and mining support. Oil wells and mines are out in the field and often in remote locations, including offshore drilling rigs. Workers often live in work camps and work rotating shifts, several weeks on and a week break. Extreme weather conditions may be a factor. Skilled workers in this industry can work anywhere in the world.
How much does a Wellhead Pumper earn?
In the U.S. a wellhead pumper can expect to earn an average of $42,000, but there is a wide range depending on the state, with some areas paying up to $54,000 annually. Opportunities in the U.S. are lessening with a greater trend toward importing crude oil from overseas. In Canada pumpers earn anywhere from $27 to $40 an hour, depending on skill, experience, and jobsite. Workers onsite are also often eligible for a living allowance supplement.

Shawl (Rebozo)Made in Mexico, North and Central America
Late 18th century
Artist/maker unknown, Mexican
Silk plain weave with resist dyeing and silk and gilt thread embroidery in darning, satin, and outline stitches; knotted fringe
Currently not on view
1939-1-19Gift of Mrs. George W. Childs Drexel, 1939
LabelThe rebozo, or shawl, was used by all Mexicans during the colonial period, regardless of class and ethnic lines. Rebozos were not only utilitarian, but were presented to young women to mark special occasions, such as their entrance into a convent. This example, made around 1790, is typical of Mexican colonial embroidery in that the back is as finished as the front. The figures depicted in the embroidery, including members of the clergy, Indian women, and Creole and Spanish elites, are engaged in leisure activities popular in Mexico City such as dancing, boating, and dining outdoors.

IMG and ISO files are complete images of physical media such as CD-ROMs, DVD's, floppy disks, etc. that contain all of the files and folders in a particular package.
To install any software package from an image, the image itself must first be "mounted" by the Operating System. This can be accomplished by:
Burning the image directly to DVD making sure to specify the source type as "image". Once the burning of the image is complete, the physical media can be inserted into the computer and will be recognized like any other DVD. You must have a writable DVD drive.
Burning the image directly to a USB thumbdrive. This is particularly useful for those people who have Netbooks or other computers without a writable DVD drive.
"Mounting" the image as a virtual disk using third party software. Mounting refers to the process which makes the files and folders in the image visible and usable to the end-user. You do not need a physical DVD drive.
Note Burning the file to a disk as a "data disk" will simply end up with a.img or.iso file on the disk, which cannot be used for the installation.
Once you have successfully mounted your image, you can then launch the software install.
For a bootable installation, this means restarting your computer and booting from the bootable installation media you created.
For an executable installation, this means launching the installation application from the mounted image.
For detailed instructions on the steps required for burning and mounting an IMG or ISO file, refer to Working with Image Files. This document also includes specific instructions for burning the image directly to a USB thumbdrive.

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is a commonly used electromagnetic simulation method. However, in the analysis of electrically large structures with curved boundaries, the FDTD method suffers from cumulative errors introduced by inadequate resolution of curvature (stair-casing errors), reflection from absorbing boundaries, numerical dispersion, etc. On the other hand, integral equation based methods such as the method of moments (MoM) have available a wide variety of shape functions and grids for accurate resolution of the field on curved boundaries. In this paper, we propose to hybridize the FDTD method and the MoM such that FDTD can be implemented on a relatively crude mesh, and the resulting 'crude' solution employed as an initial guess to the solution of the MoM matrix equations using the conjugate gradient (CG) method.

.0% Methocel F50 with 0.1-0.3% xanthan gum is commonly used. For gels a ratio range of 0.25-3.0% Methocel A4C is a good starting point. For more information check out my Guide to Methocel F50 and my Guide to Methocel A4C.
Sodium alginate is commonly used in spherification because of its ability to gel in the presence of calcium ions. It can be dispersed and hydrated at almost any temperature and the gels are very heat tolerant.
For direct spherification a 0.5% to 1% sodium alginate base is used with a 0.5% to 1% calcium lactate setting bath. For reverse spherification a 1.0 to 3.0% calcium lactate base is used with a 0.4% to 0.5% sodium alginate bath. Discover more information by visiting both my Guide to Sodium Alginate and my Guide to Calcium Lactate.
There are many other gelling agents we do not cover in depth but can be found in the Other Ingredients section such as lambda carrageenan, gellan, and pectin.
There are many types of gels, ranging from soft and tender to hard and firm. Understanding the different properties of gels is critical to successfully making your own gels.
One of the biggest hurdles I had when learning about modernist cooking was understanding the vocabulary for the different properties of gels. I will explain the properties as a spectrum to help put these in perspective of one another.
Different ingredients, and different concentrations of ingredients, can move the gel along these spectrums. For instance, agar gels are brittle and iota carrageenan forms elastic gels. But if you combine agar with locust bean gum the gel begins to become more elastic.
All gels fall somewhere on the brittle vs elastic spectrum. On the brittle side, gels easily fall apart with pressure; they are grainy and crumble easily. Conversely, elastic gels are more flexible, jiggly, and chewy. Gummy bears are a good example of an elastic gel.
All gels also lie somewhere on the soft vs firm spectrum. Soft gels give under pressure and have a much more tender texture. Firm gels resist pressure and hold their shape better. The softness or firmness of most gels can be controlled by the amount of gelling agent used. Adding a higher percent of a gelling agent results in a firmer gel. Custards and Jell-O are a good example of soft gels and gummy bears are a firm gel.
The final spectrum that gels are on is sticky vs clean. Sticky gels tend to adhere to surfaces, and your mouth, similar to taffy or caramel. Clean gels do not stick to other substances, similar to Jell-O.
There are many other properties that a gel can have. Depending on how you are planning to use a gel they may or may not be important for any given preparation.
The setting temperature of a gel is the temperature below which the gel will form. For instance, gelatin has to be refrigerated before it sets while agar will set once it drops below 45°C (113°F). However, an exception to this is methylcellulose gels which actually set above a certain temperature, not below it.
The melting temperature of a gel is the temperature above which it will unset and become a liquid again. For example, gelatin tends to melt at a hot picnic while agar can be heated up to 80°C (176°F) before it begins to melt. Not all gels have a melting temperature, such as thermo-irreversible gels which never melt.
Syneresis is the leaking out, or weeping, of liquids from a gel. Sometimes this is the desired result such as when using a gel to clarify a liquid. However, most of the time syneresis is unwanted. Different gels have different levels of syneresis which can often be prevented by combining one or more ingredients. Locust bean gum is typically good at preventing syneresis with other gelling agents.
The clarity of a gel is simply how clear it is. Gels can range from transparent to opaque. This is affected by the gelling ingredients and also the opacity of the liquid that makes up the gel.
How well a gel will release the flavors of the liquid it is made of is referred to as its flavor release. Some gelling agents like gelatin have good flavor release while others tend to lock up the flavors.
If a gel can be frozen and then thawed without losing its structure it is considered freeze-thaw stable. This is a very important consideration if the gel is a part of foods made to be frozen and thawed.
This is a very interesting property of gels. It basically means that the setting and melting temperatures are not the same. The higher the hysteresis, the larger the gap between the temperatures. For instance, water sets and melts at 0°C (32°F), so if it's below 0°C (32°F) it will freeze, and if it's above 0°C (32°F) then it will melt.
Agar, on the other hand, has a setting temperature around 40°C (104°F) and a melting temperature of 85°C (185°F). This means if agar is a solid, then it will remain a solid until heated above 80°C (176°F). Then as it cools, it will remain a liquid until it goes below 40°C (104°F). The result is between 40°C (104°F) and 80°C (176°F) an agar gel can be either a solid or a liquid.
As discussed early, a gel is typically a solid structure that traps liquid. However, this structure can also trap other solid particles in it, suspending them. This is very useful for holding herbs in a vinaigrette or tomato chunks in a puree.
If a gel can be set and then melt, like Jell-O melting on a warm day, then it is considered thermoreversible. If the gel cannot be unset, like a soufflé, then it is considered thermoirreversible. Most thermoreversible gels can be set and unset many times without a loss in gelling strength.
Both of these terms refer to the ability to act like a set gel when at rest and to flow when agitated, as through whisking, stirring, or blending. This can be a very nice effect, especially for sauces you want to coat food with or for purees that need extra body. This is a common property in fluid or sheared gels.
I refer to these terms interchangeably, and for the home cook they really are. However, they do have some differences, especially in the academic vs industrial sectors. For an interesting look at Thixotropy vs shear thinning, you can read the comments on the Wikipedia merge request: _URL_
One of the most interesting uses of gels is the different shapes you can create with them. From standard cubes to spheres and noodles, the shapes help add visual appeal to dishes.
For soft gels, it is best to have them set directly in the dish you want to serve them in. Soft gels have a tendency to break apart if you try to cut or unmold them. You can also set harder gels in the serving dishes and it can have a great visual appeal, especially if you are using glass serving dishes.
The easiest way to shape gels is by setting it in a block and then cutting it into the shapes you prefer. I will often use a Tupperware container that the gel will fill to the final height I am looking for, typically 6 mm to 25 mm (1/4" to 1"). I can then cut it into cubes with a knife, or for harder gels I can even use cookie cutters for a wide range of shapes.
For many elastic gels, you can set them in a thin layer, less than 3 mm (1/8") thick on a flat, plastic surface. This creates a flexible sheet you can drape over or wrap around foods.
Another easy way to set creatively shaped gels it to use molds. These can be in the form of silicon or plastic molds. There are ice cube trays you can use that come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. In addition, there are hemispherical and spherical molds of different sizes that can be used for interesting shapes.
Another interesting presentation is making gel noodles. These have many uses but are typically used as a garnish. To make the gel noodles the warm gel base is pushed into plastic tubing, usually using a plastic syringe, and then placed in ice water to cool. Be sure you use elastic gels when making noodles otherwise they will fall apart when being handled.
Round beads of gel always add some great visual appeal to plates. There are a few ways to make them but I've found the easiest is to make them in cold oil. Place a glass of oil in the freeze for about an hour so it thickens slightly. You can use any type of oil but canola, vegetable, or olive oil works well.
Make the gel base and then drip it into the oil. While the gel is falling to the bottom of the oil it is in a spherical shape and because the oil is cold the gel will set before it falls to the bottom.
Creating a gel with agar results in a brittle gel. The firmness of the gel will depend on how much agar is used. You can make the gel more elastic by adding

In Collaboration with World Forum Foundation
In Loving Hands: How the Rights for Young Children Living in Children's Homes Offer Hope and Happiness In Today's World by Elsa Chahin with Anna Tardos, is the definitive book that advocates for children living in residential settings. Under the proper circumstances, these institutions, while not always having provided the ideal climate for healthy growth, both emotionally and physically, can operate in the best interests of children when they adhere to the precepts of this book.
Written in three parts – an overview, the declaration of 10 rights and global voices of experience – In Loving Hands offers an in-depth look at how the quality of care in residential homes can be improved through information, detailed guidance and applicable tools. After comprehensive research, the authors have made it their mission to support institutions in successfully caring for young children in group settings.
No longer is it necessary for institutes to be branded as "Dickensian," as this book provides the tools for creating a safe and nurturing environment, with children receiving responsive care from trained, educated and caring adults. The authors of In Loving Hands offer a responsible, pragmatic and passionate alternative to the familial home, one where children are able to thrive and grow up to be healthy, happy and productive members of society. Equally important is the idea that the information in this book can also apply to parents blessed to be raising children at home.


Declare click-through URLs in ads
DoubleClick Ad Exchange policies require buyers to declare click-through URLs for creatives booked through both the user interface and real-time bidding (RTB).
Delivering creatives via the user interface
Use third-party served creatives only
Ad Exchange no longer supports the hosting of static images uploaded via the interface. Use third-party served ads for all creatives.
Third-party ads
When creating third-party ads in the user interface, declare one or more click-through URLs (destination URLs) in the Ad technologies box. (Up to 50 URLs may be declared.) Ad Exchange treats all ads within a given ad group as a single virtual ad. Because buyers can rotate multiple creatives within a given ad call, Ad Exchange requires the declaration of all associated click-through URLs. As long as the click-through URL of each creative rotated through the ad calls is declared in at least one ad (regardless of the associated ad size), the creative is in compliance with the declaration policy.
Why do I see an InRed URL checkbox under my HTML snippet?
When our system sees that your third-party redirect points to the DoubleClick Campaign Manager (DCM) ad server, we show this message. An "InRed," or internal redirect, allows Google to serve your ad directly from DCM's ad server, avoiding a call back to the browser. This reduces ad serving latency and reporting discrepancies.
Note that you should clear the checkbox if the HTML snippet is an impression beacon.
When publishers block an advertiser landing page, ad category, or sensitive category, the information at the ad-level is used and so impacts the entire ad group. Therefore, the fewer ads rotated in a given redirect ad call, the higher the probability of delivery.
Delivering creatives via real-time bidder (RTB)
When using RTB, create pre-targeting ads in the user interface in addition to providing the creative in the RTB response. When creating the pre-targeting ads, you're not required to declare the click-through URL of each creative, but accurate click-through URLs must be declared in the bid responses.
Each HTML snippet in an RTB bid response must render to a single, unique creative, and the click-through URL must be declared. This click-through URL is checked against the associated creative. The HTML snippet should render for at least four days after the impression to prevent disapproval of similar creatives.
Dynamic creatives and click-through URL declarations
Dynamic creatives typically combine multiple image and text elements in real-time to create the most compelling offer for a given user based on targeting and user parameters. When created, these creatives might have correspondingly dynamic click-through URLs in order to track the relative effectiveness of each permutation, or they might have multiple click-through URLs that lead to different landing pages depending on the user interaction.
With Ad Exchange, we require every creative to have a declared click-through URL in order to enable certain features (e.g., advertiser and advertiser category blocking) and to ensure the quality of the landing page (i.e., scan for inappropriate content). With dynamic creatives, it's not always possible to declare all of the click-through URLs. To address this, Ad Exchange requires that buyers limit dynamic creatives to a single root advertiser and declare the root advertiser as the landing page.
Example 1: An advertiser, "" has a dynamic creative that will offer different books based on the time of day. Each time a different book is offered, the corresponding landing page is changed. Book 1's offer goes to "," Book 2 goes to "" In this scenario, the creative is allowed to run on Ad Exchange. The declared URL should be ""
Example 2: A marketer has two different online businesses, a dating site and a news site, that are run independently with the domains of "" and "" The marketer would like to create a dynamic creative that oscillates between these two offers based on time of day. In this scenario, a dynamic creative is not allowed. Instead, the marketer should deploy two different creatives and target them via the user interface as two different ads, or use real-time bidding and reply with the specific creative that should serve.
Example 3: An advertiser runs an ad with multiple social network buttons for sharing some content: Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. Each of these buttons, with their appropriate URLs, counts as a click-through URL and must be declared. Note that no resources can be loaded from these domains directly, they are merely links which the user must choose to follow.
Destination URLs must be between 12 and 2048 characters and cannot use a numeric IP address.

Aperture Tables, let the light through.
April 05, 2021
Aperture Tables, let the light through.
Since my earliest designs I have been inspired by colours and shapes.
"I was challenged by one of my customers to design a series of tables that could show off the legs more fully, as so many of my designs have interesting legs that are partly covered up by their solid, opaque table tops."
Transparency was achieved by using precision cut and beautifully machine-polished 12mm thick pieces of circular toughened glass; I wanted the base to reference the geometric interplay of the blades within a camera lens aperture.
By letting the light through, the table tops are almost invisible apart from the sheen of the surface and the graphic circumference line that is present due to the hardening and toughening process of the glass.
This perimeter line helps frame the base and delineate volume to the top and has a purity in its unbroken form that is referenced by the legs. Elegant tapering and narrow lines are made possible by fabricating the frame in stiff tubular steel and finished in pigments of navy blue or oxblood red.
Apertures are controlled by an iris that is built up of many thin metal blades that overlay each other in a circular fashion. Light passes through to a greater or lesser amount depending on how wide the aperture is opened by twisting the lens, allowing the iris blades to pivot and slide over each other, therefore further opening or closing the aperture. The centre hole appears round by using many blades, however for the purpose of my tables, only 3 or 4 legs are required, so I connected these points leaving a triangular or square aperture that is logically and simply defined by the number of legs.

The largest of the Aperture tables is the Console, made possible by elongating the circle into a lozenge shaped table top.
The aperture detail is repeated at either end of the stretched out top with a connecting bar that locks the frame together.

"I hope you continue to enjoy receiving the Reeves Design newsletter which has always intended to be a window into the inspirations that go into each design. However at this current time when it is impossible to make and attend exhibitions in a physical way or even go to showrooms and shops, it has become an essential platform and direct link between our product, brand and customers.
I encourage you to reach out with any projects and dreams that may align with our values and vision as we are still operating, producing and creating. I trust we can harness shared motivation, enthusiasm and more enjoyable considered ways to explore culture and ideas; in doing so continue to evolve designs that look towards a bright future."

Burr gherkins, also known as West Indian burr gherkins (Cucumis anguria), are one of the old-time favorites among heirloom gardeners because of their productivity and multiple uses in the kitchen — plus their pest-free maintenance. Their flavor is mild and resembles cucumbers (when young), without the strong "green" bitterness of some common cucumbers. You can eat them raw or pickled, or even cooked like zucchini.
Burr gherkins do not have the same long, narrow shape as the better-known French gherkins, but instead are round and covered in edible dull "spikes," strongly resembling green... well... burrs.
Once pickled, the flavor and texture are much the same as the French gherkins. In fact, the unusual shape of the burr gherkin makes it an interesting addition to almost any pickle mixture, but what most early American cookbooks failed to mention is that burr gherkins can be cooked like squash and served in a variety of dishes.
The Path of Pickles from the Portuguese
There was a lot of controversy in the 19th century about the origin of burr gherkins. I waded through the mountains of botanical journals devoted to this issue in 1996 when I decided to include burr gherkins in my book Heirloom Vegetable Gardening. Many Victorian botanists thought the plant came from Jamaica, but as it turned out, burr gherkins originated in West Africa and they were brought to the New World during the 1500s by both the Spanish and Portuguese, a seed exchange encouraged in part by the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
A closer look at African-based dishes in the Caribbean and South America confirms this old connection with Africa. In the Bahia region of Brazil, where Afro-Brazilian culture is the strongest, burr gherkins are called maxixe (mah-SHEE-shay) and they form the most important ingredient in a traditional dish called maxixada (mah-shee-SHAH-dah). This delicious and distinctive preparation deserves to be better-known, and because it's a creative way to use the gherkins (especially if you like spicy foods), I have adapted a recipe (below) from Salvador, the capital of Bahia. Established in 1549, it is known today for its exquisite architecture, as well as its reputation as the center of a culinary renaissance. In Bahia, no respectable kitchen garden is without its maxixe.
Burr gherkins were introduced to the United States in the 1790s from Jamaica, with the idea that they would make excellent mini-cucumber pickles. In that period, "gherkin" was a term for cucumbers harvested when they are super small. Because the little cucumbers tended to be bitter, brining was usually required.
Burr gherkins had a milder flavor and didn't need the brine. They became popular in the 1800s and appeared in cookbooks into the 1920s for this and two other practical reasons: First, they are hugely productive, more than most cucumbers. Secondly, because they are not the same species as cucumbers, they do not attract any of the normal cucumber problems. Cucumber beetles, leaf borers and even powdery mildew leave them alone. This is great news for the organic gardener, especially if you are fond of small gherkin pickles or want something interesting to add to stir-fries and vegetable stews.
Gherkins in the Garden
Start the seed indoors as you would for any cucumber or melon, then establish the seedlings in pots so they develop good, strong root systems. Plant them in the garden after the threat of frost passes (about the same time you would plant tomatoes). You can let the vines ramble over the ground, or you can train them to climb on trellises or wire fencing. Because the vines are vigorous growers and are likely to spread from 6 to 8 feet, I prefer to grow the plants vertically on wire. This makes the gherkins easier to see and pick because they hang down on long stems (see image gallery), plus it prevents backache.
They do not seem to be particular about soil, although best results will come with heavy composting and regular watering during dry spells. Harvesting of small fruits should commence in about 60 days, so burr gherkins are as easy to grow in New England as they are in the Deep South. The trick is to harvest them young, before they start developing seeds. When the fruit is too old, it is seedy, tough and spiny. To decide when to harvest, test one with a sharp knife — if it cuts like butter it's ready. This is generally when the gherkins reach 1 1⁄2 inches in length.
Fruiting will continue vigorously until frost if you keep picking the gherkins as they develop. They can be frozen for later use in soups or stir-fries, but if you let the fruit run to seed, flower production will drop off. For this reason, most commercial growers plant them in two or three week successions so they can enjoy full production all summer.
For seed saving purposes, let the gherkins ripen on the vines until they become hard and yellow. After that the fruit will begin to soften. Scoop out the seeds and pulp and put them in an uncovered jar.
Let the seeds ferment for about three to four days, or until the scum has risen to the top and the good seed has dropped to the bottom. This step is important because it sterilizes the seeds and prevents any diseases from the mother plant from affecting the next generation. Pour off the scum, rinse the seed several times in clear running water (use a sieve), then spread the seed on a screen to dry. Once the seed is dry enough to snap when bent in half, it is ready to be stored in airtight jars away from direct sunlight. I would allow at least three weeks for the drying process, although much depends on humidity levels.
Properly ripened and processed seed should maintain good germination rates for about 10 years. If you leave the burr gherkins to rot in the garden or toss them into your compost, be aware that they reseed readily, so you may end up with a bumper crop of seedlings in unexpected places the following season.
Hot and Spicy Brazilian Maxixada
This dish is eaten over rice or a mixture of rice and beans. Traditionally, it's cooked with dende oil (red palm oil), but I have substituted olive oil.
1/4 cup olive oil or mild-flavored cooking oil
2 cups onion, chopped
1 pound young, tender burr gherkins
1 chayote, diced (Chayote is a mild-flavored cucurbit. Peeled zucchini can serve as a substitute.)
1 tbsp garlic, minced
2 cups tomato, chopped
8 ounces picked cooked crab meat
1 cup coconut milk
2 or 3 tbsp chopped cilantro, or to taste
Zest of half a lime
Salt and freshly chopped or ground hot pepper to taste (preferably Bahian pimento de cheiro or malagueta)
Optional garnish: 4 boiled crabs cut in half
Heat oil in a large sauté pan or skillet and add onion, burr gherkins and chayote or zucchini. Cover and cook 6 minutes over medium heat, then add garlic, tomato, picked crab and coconut milk. Stir and cook uncovered until the tomato is reduced and the sauce turns light orange (about 8 minutes). Add cilantro and lime zest, then season to taste with salt and hot pepper. Once the liquids are well combined and hot (about 5 minutes), serve over rice with hot boiled crabs as a garnish. Serves 4 to 6.

Community Goals in Elite: Dangerous
Community Goals in Elite Dangerous is a kind of mission that is shared by the entire community - for example a goal may be for the community to trade/donate enough food to a single system that is suffering a famine, or to trade/donate enough materials to build a large capital ship for one of the navies.
- The progress of community goals is shared between both Open, Private Group and Solo play.
- You cannot try to directly compete against a goal, but there may be individual community goals competing against each other (e.g. a race to build two capital ships)

PALMDALE – A comprehensive financial analysis by the California State Auditor (CSA) revealed that the City of Palmdale has one of the lowest risks of fiscal distress in California.
Of the 471 cities that were analyzed, Palmdale came in at the 405th lowest risk, putting it in the top 14 percent of California cities.
As part of the CSA's high-risk local government audit program, the Auditor has established a process for determining whether a local government agency is at risk of fiscal distress. The CSA launched its most comprehensive analysis of cities, and for the first time, make public an online dashboard ranking the fiscal health of over 470 California cities from highest to lowest risk, using ten key financial indicators. The dashboard is available at _URL_

California State Auditor's Methodology for Ranking California Cities Based on Fiscal Risk
The California State Auditor (State Auditor) analyzed financial information for 471 California cities to identify cities that may be at risk for fiscal distress. They assessed risk by performing various financial comparisons and calculations that they refer to as financial indicators, as discussed in more detail below. They analyzed the finances related to each city's governmental and business-type activities, including the general fund or main operating fund. Their analysis relied upon information from audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that they obtained through various sources such as city websites, the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, the Electronic Municipal Market Access website, and the California State Controller's Office (State Controller). They also analyzed unaudited pension related information from the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) and the State Controller.
They selected a set of 10 indicators that enabled them to assess each city's ability to pay its bills in both the short and long term. Specifically, the indicators measure each city's cash position or liquidity, debt burden, financial reserves, revenue trends, and ability to pay for employee retirement benefits. They used a points-based system to rank and categorize cities as either high, moderate, or low risk for fiscal distress. They weighted the results of the indicators by assigning varying numbers of points to each indicator based on their judgment of each indicator's relative importance. The table below summarizes the financial indicators and maximum points assigned to each indicator.

Why is there a dynamic forensics program at
The answers to that question started in 1997 when several criminal justice students from the FBI asked why the college did not have a forensics program. In response, PGCC conducted a needs survey by contacting the municipal, county, state, and federal law enforcement and forensic science laboratory departments in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. This survey indicated a critical need of 350 forensic scientists, from crime scene investigators to forensic science specialists.
PGCC started an Associate of Applied Science degree in Forensic Science in 1999. This program is a 2-year career-tracked vocation for those students electing not to obtain a baccalaureate degree from a 4-year academic institution. However, the continued demand for baccalaureate-trained forensic science investigators prompted us to establish in 2001 an Associate of Science curriculum for students who wished to transfer to colleges that offered undergraduate degrees in forensic science.
To the best of my knowledge, PGCC is the only community college in the United States with an in-depth complementary course curriculum, encompassing some 14 forensic disciplines. This program is unique in that it has 42 adjunct forensic science professionals teaching the diverse curriculum, each of whom practices their special skills.
The core training requirements for the A.A.S. degree are that students complete 35 credit hours in criminal justice and forensic science. These courses include criminal law, criminal evidence and procedures, introduction to forensic science, crime scene investigation, DNA and fingerprint analysis, death investigation, firearms and tool-markings identification, toxicology, and an internship at a forensic crime laboratory or criminal investigation division of a police department.
The A.A.S. forensic program limits the science requirements to introduction to biology, forensic biology, and chemistry. However, the transfer program has a strong science emphasis in which the following courses are required: biology I, forensic biology, chemistry I and II, introduction to organic chemistry, physics I and II, and genetics.
The PGCC student demographics show that minorities make up 86% and females 66% of overall student enrollment. There are 485 students currently enrolled in the forensics program, 81% of which are female 78% of which are minority students.
Graduating PGCC students go on to pursue a variety of occupations, including wildlife science (Endangered Species Act), toxicology, medical insurance fraud, forensic nursing, juvenile delinquency, police crime laboratory, engineering, law, FEMA, ATF, FBI, DEA, fire departments, forensic education, physical anthropology, forensic herpetology, and forensic accounting.

When Mercury got wings
 Remembering Radio Mercur after fifty years
by Henrik Nørgaard
 Offshore radio broadcasting did not begin in Denmark. However, the concept of broadcasting popular music programs from international waters directed towards an audience in a country with a state monopoly on radio transmissions came from Radio Mercur, a Danish commercial radio station that started airing its programs on August 2nd, 1958 — now half a century ago. Henrik Nørgaard, author of the book Pirater i æteren (2003), takes us back to that day.
1 Left: Mercur's first radio ship, the small vessel Cheeta Mercur (Cheeta I)
Breaking the waves. The year is 1958 and the scene Denmark. Since the early days of radio broadcasting in the 1920's the Danish radio listeners had been used to the fact that their choice was easily made when deciding what to listen to on their radio receiver. The national broadcasting company had a law-enforced monopoly on transmitting radio signals, and there were only two programs to choose from. The concept was to educate and enlighten the audience and entertainment and modern music was almost banished. Or, at least only in minimized quanta for a few hours per week. On good days you were able to catch transmissions from Radio Luxembourg in a fairly good quality. Otherwise the only available alternative was the State Radiofonia ("Statsradiofonien"). But now, on August 2nd 1958, a new sound was in the air and could be heard over the loudspeakers.
 From international waters between Denmark and Sweden, just a few miles from Copenhagen, a floating radio station began to transmit music and commercials in a way that had never been heard before in Denmark. The new station, breaking the sea waves as well as the radio waves, was called Radio Mercur. Within a few years the idea had spread to other countries like Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Radio Mercur has since been known as the pirate radio, which gave inspiration to a whole number of pirate radio or offshore radio stations. Here, we look back at the start of Radio Mercur in 1958 to celebrate the fifty years jubilee of the first pirate radio.
2 Right: Radio Mercur's impressive looking studio complex at Copenhagen
The underlying idea. The founding father of Mercur was Peer Jansen, a young man from Copenhagen. He had the same interest for new music as many other young people in Denmark. He tuned in on Radio Luxembourg to catch the latest hits and occasionally did listen to American Forces Network. But, on the national radio he rarely found the music he fancied. On a journey to the south of Europe, he discovered that the USA military used a ship, the MV Doddridge, in the Mediterranean Sea to transmit the programs of the "Voice of America" to the people in the Soviet-alliance countries in Eastern Europe. Jansen got the idea that something like Radio Luxembourg could be combined with a floating transmitter to form a totally new kind of radio station in Denmark. What he didn't know, was how to realize the idea. But he had a good network to draw on in order to find out.
 First of all: Danish national laws didn't allow such a thing as a private radio station. But how about international regulations? Jansen had a cousin, Børge Agerskov, who was a law student at the University of Copenhagen. Agerskov tells: "There was a lot of adventure in Peer. He was very good at inspiring people. While I was finishing my studies I spent a lot of time researching radio conventions — whether it was possible at all, and it was in some way." No one had yet thought of the possibility, that a radio station could be anchored in international waters and broadcast to a specific country without having permission.
 Secondly: What about the technical side? Well, Jansen had a brother in law who was a radio enthusiast. He knew of another radio enthusiast named William Petersen. Normally he was a bike repairer but he also was very skilled in making radio transmitters. Petersen took up the challenge to build an FM-transmitter and an antennae that could be used for the purpose.
 Thirdly: The idea was costly and there was a need for financing. Jansen was working in a family owned silverware company in Copenhagen, run by Ib Fogh. Jansen presented his idea to his boss, and soon Fogh was keen on the idea and willing to invest in the project together with Jansen himself. From that point around summer 1957 things went fast with the establishing of a brand new radio station. A year later Radio Mercur was ready to go on air with recording studios in a mansion in a suburb of Copenhagen, a radio big band, a floating transmitting station and a lot of enthusiastic people working as technicians, speakers and crew on the ship.

New music and rising youth culture in a conservative landscape. How could anyone succeed in setting up a new radio station in a country with a monopoly on broadcasting radio, being unquestioned for decades? Denmark in the mid 1950's was a traditional society. Young people were expected to follow in the footsteps of their parents, and everybody was expected to obey the authorities. But, a new culture was rising — slowly but clearly. Talking about 1968 as a breakthrough in changing society, the path was already made many years before. A new kind of music — rock'n'roll — came to Denmark from England and the USA. Many young people were welcoming movies like "Rock Around the Clock" with Bill Haley and The Comets, shown in cinemas in Copenhagen in August 1957. Tommy Steele gave a concert in Copenhagen. Dance schools introduced rock'n'roll dancing.
 The new music arrived in different ways. It was welcomed by the young, but among the older generation it caused a lot of worries. Rock'n'roll music was thought to lead to loose and weak morals among the young generation, especially by the underlying sexual messages in the lyrics and its wild stage performance — just think of the hip movements of Elvis Presley! A leading dancer described the effect of the music in the newspaper Aftenbladet (The Evening Paper) on September 12th, 1956 as follows: "It's in the music. Performed rightly it is hypnotizing and narcotic like primitive drums on Indians and cannibals. It begins monotonous. After a while it excites more and more. At the end they are in the wildest ecstacy." And, the later program director of the national radio said: "On the question of rock'n'roll it is my opinion that it cannot be the task of The National Radio to promote knowledge of it, when we are told that it's all about mass hysteria."
 The young generation, though, wanted to hear to the music anyhow in spite of what their parents and the authorities said. They listened to Radio Luxembourg on tiny transistor receivers, the reception usually in a poor quality due to the long distance. Therefore Radio Mercur had success with a concept putting emphasis on the popular music — both from records and with live transmissions of young Danish bands, that were invited to be recorded and broadcasted by the new radio station.
4 Right: Ib Glindemann and his orchestra pose before the Mercur villa in Gentofte
Big plans. The people behind Radio Mercur had very ambitious plans. A mansion that earlier housed the Embassy of Argentine in Copenhagen was transformed into radio studios with facilities for the recording of commercials, programs and music. A jazz orchestra of sixteen musicians was hired as a radio big band. The leader, Ib Glindemann tells about the first contact:
"I was picked up on some phony address on the island of Amager [near to the center of Copenhagen]. An agent took me in his car and told me, that I was going to participate in something completely legal, but not to be talked about, because it had to be kept top secret. Well, he was a nice person, and I wanted a job for my orchestra. We drove to a big fancy villa in Gentofte, and I was shown into the high paneled rooms — it was incredibly beautiful, almost like an English country mansion. I was wellcomed by Arne Paaby, the artistic leader of the radio station. Paaby explained that a commercial radio station was to be established — and that was hot stuff at the time. Until then there only had been one station — the royal monopolized steam radio, so it was truly unbelievable! They seemed to know what they were up to. But they needed some music. I was 'in' those days and had a wellknown orchestra. They wanted to hire the orchestra, and we were to get a fair salary."
And so Glindemann and his orchestra became the new big band of Radio Mercur. In the villa the dining room was transformed into a concert hall. Recordings of dance music began soon after to warrant programs on stock for later transmissions. It was also Glindemann who composed the jingle for Mercur with three trumpets and a voice announcing "You're listening to Radio Mercur!"

A difficult start. The preparations on land went fine, but on sea things were more troublesome. During July 1958 Radio Mercur announced several dates for the official launch of its transmissions, but all these failed due to technical problems with the ship, the Cheeta Mercur, or due to unexpected stormy weather in

Grooming Pacific Perch Beach Branch 1012 Bolt On Large

Grooming Pacific Perch Beach Branch Bolt On by Prevue 11 in Large
Grooming perches are one of the more misunderstood bird cage accessories. Some veterinarians flat out tell their patients not to use them at all. Once you understand the proper use you'll see this is one texture of perch your cage should not be without.
- 100% Natural,Digestible, Ground Calcium with Real Sea Shells.
- Texture Helps to Groom Your Bird's Nails and Beak.
- Variable Shape Exercises Feet. A Healthy Alternative to Ordinary Perches.
- Veterinary Approved and Recommended.
We try to include what bird sizes match up to the accessory in the listing. Because there's hundreds of species of parrots and parakeets it's not always easy to make a precise recommendation. The diameter of the grooming perch should be large enough so the front toes do not meet the back toes. In this way the ends of the toenails are always sliding against a rough surface helping keep the nails and optimal length
Grooming perches come in a number of surfaces from literally sandpaper to ground calcium to concrete and other materials. They are designed to keep your birds nails and beak trimmed.
By no means should any sort of grooming perch be used to sleep on is this can irritate your birds feet and cause sores over time. Ironically we get complaints all the time from people whose birds feet had developed sores and inevitably when asked what kind of perch the birds slept on the answer is usually a grooming perch that was placed up high in the cage and was the birds main sleeping perch.
We suggest grooming perches be placed in one of two areas of the bird cage. Either install it inside the cage door where the bird can come down and rest on when the door opens. Because the bird is happy to get out of the cage they will do a brief happy dance which will aid in grooming their nails.
We feel the best place for the grooming perch is near the food bowls. Bird spend 10 to 15 min. a day they their food bowls in general. While they are eating their very active which means their feet are always moving on the perch with aids in grooming in the nails.
They will usually wipe their beak in the middle of the meal or at the end of the meal to remove food particulate off. If they're standing on a grooming perch when they like the the, grooming perch it will help them keep it trim and sharp. A bird's beak is its most important piece of anatomy and so a grooming perch while dining will prove to be very helpful in maintaining your birds overall health

User Instructions for CLENQT.FOR
These instructions are written to help users run the program CLENQT.FOR. This program requires an input file called EGM180.NOR which contains the WGS 84 n=m=180, normalized, geopotential coefficients. The source code for CLENQT.FOR is in FORTRAN 77 and it has been developed for use with MS-DOS commands.
This is an ASCII file containing the defree (n), order (m), and normalized geopotential coefficients (Cnm, Snm) in the following format:
These coefficients were developed using surface gravity, satellite altimetry, and elevation data.
The user can run CLENQT.FOR with EGM180.NOR to compute the following gravimetric quantities, here shown with the corresponding output term and unit:
- point free-air gravity anomaly (DELTA G) (mgal),
- point geoid height (N) (m),
- point north-south and east-west components of the deflection of the vertical (XI, ETA) (both in arcsec),
- point total deflection of the vertical (THETA) (arcsec),
- point radial component of the gravity disturbance vector (DIST R) (mgal), and
- point north-south and east-west components of the gravity disturbance vector (DIST NS, DIST EW) (both in mgal).
To load and execute the program, type the following sequence of commands:
- Copy both CLENQT.FOR and EGM180.NOR to the same directory.
- If the.FOR suffix is not compatible with your system's compiler, rename the file to CLENQT.F. then run the program through a FORTRAN compiler. If using a Lahey compiler, type the following commands to create an executable file (.EXE):
- f77l3 clenqt.for (This creates CLENQT.OBJ)
- 386link clenqt.obj (This creates CLENQT.EXE)
- Type this command to execute: clenqt.exe
- The message "READING COEFFICIENT FILE" will appear on the screen indicating that the program is running.
- The user is then prompted to enter the latitude, longitude, and the geodetic height (height above ellipsoid) for the point of interest. The latitude and longitude values must be in decimal degrees and the geodetic height must be in meters
- After the point is entered, the computer will then calculate the gravimetric quantities and display them on the screen in the following format:
PHI LAMBDA HT N DELTA G DIST R DIST NS DIST EW XI ETA THETA
- The program prompts the user to enter a "1" to continue or a "0" to stop.
- The data will go to the screen only; there is no output file.

This paper considers an approach to solving the problem of binary classification of objects. This approach is based on representing one of the classes by a sequence of Gaussian mixtures with further introduction of threshold decision rules. A method of constructing hierarchical sequences of Gaussian mixtures using the partial EM algorithm is proposed. We compare classifiers that use single Gaussian mixtures, cascades based on sequences of independent mixtures, cascades based on hierarchical sequences of mixtures, and classifiers that use trees of Gaussian densities for decision making. The theoretical estimates of computational costs for these classifiers are provided. The classifiers are tested on simulated data. The results are presented as the relations between the computational cost of classification and the obtained values of error criteria.

I suspect that your outlet has a bad contact, so that (let's hypothesize) one of the prongs does not work. Let's further hypothesize that it's the neutral that has the bad contact.
Also, let us assume that the two neutrals in the outlet are connected to each other. Just not to the power grid.
Suppose that the tester creates a bridge between neutral and ground. The resistance of this bridge is not anywhere near zero ohms, but that might not matter.
What that means is that the neutral receptacles in the socket now have a path to ground, and even if that path is resistive, that completes the circuit. Current can flow from hot, through the device, into the neutral prong (which has no grid connection, but does have a connection to the tester's netural) and then, via the tester, to its ground prong. If the device has a small current draw, then its effective resistance may be significantly greater than the resistance in the tester, and so the tester's resistance might not matter much. The device may see a voltage drop, but its power supply may be tolerant to it.
Anyway, needless to say, replace the outlet.


text: We analyze the mechanism of condensation of orientational moduli [as introduced in Phys. Rev. D 87, 025025 (2013)] on multi-Skyrmionic configurations of the four-dimensional Skyrme model. The present analysis reveals interesting novel features. First of all, the orientational moduli tend to decrease the repulsive interactions between Skyrmions, the effect decreasing with the increase of the baryon number. Moreover, in the case of a single Skyrmion, the appearance of moduli is energetically favorable if finite-volume effects are present. Otherwise, in the usual flat topologically trivial case, it is not. In the low-energy theory these solutions can be interpreted as Skyrmions with additional isospin degrees of freedom.


Tutorial: Django Forms with AngularJS
Django offers an excellent Form framework which is responsible for rendering and validating HTML forms. Since Django's design philosophy is to be independent of the styling and JavaScript, this Form framework requires some adoption in order to play well with AngularJS and optionally Bootstrap.
An alternative technique is to add crispy-forms to your project and enrich the Django Forms with a helper class. Unfortunately, crispy-form does not work very well with django-angular. In order to add the same functionality in a "DRY" manner, a special Mixin class can be added to your forms, rather than having to work with helper-classes.
Basic Form Submission
Lets start with a very basic example, a functioning demo is available here: _URL_
Say, we have a simple but rather long Form definition, to subscribe a person wanting to visit us:
Since we want to render this form in a DRY manner, our favorite template syntax is something such as:
 {% csrf_token %}
 {{ form }}
In this example, the whole form is rendered in one pass including all HTML elements, such as , , and . Additionally, bound forms are rendered with their preset values and a list of errors, if the previous Form validation did not succeed.
The Django Form framework comes with three different rendering methods: as_p(), as_ul() and as_table() (the default). Unfortunately, these three rendering methods are not suitable for nowadays needs, such as Bootstrap styling and Ajax based Form validation.
In order to be more flexible without having to abandon the "DRY" principle, the above SubscriptionForm has been enriched by the Mixin class Bootstrap3FormMixin. This class adds an additional method as_div(), which is responsible for rendering the Form suitable for Bootstrap styling.
Additionally, this Mixin class wraps the list of validation errors occurred during the last Form validation into the AngularJS directive ng-show, so that error messages disappear after the user starts typing, and thus puts the Form into a "dirty", or in other words "non-pristine", state.
You can test this yourself, by leaving out some fields or entering invalid values and submitting the Form.
Bound Form in AngularJS
AngularJS does not take into account the concept of bound Forms. Therefore, input fields rendered with preset values, are displayed as empty fields. To circumvent this, the django-angular Form directive re-enables the rendering of the bound field values.
Dynamically Hiding Form Fields for Bootstrap
A common use case is to hide a form field based on the value of another. For example, to hide the phone field if the user selects Female within SubscriptionForm, overwrite field_css_classes on SubscriptionForm:
field_css_classes = {
 '*': 'form-group has-feedback',
 'phone': "ng-class:{'ng-hide':sex==='f'}",
field_css_classes adds css classes to the wrapper div surrounding individual fields in bootstrap. In the above example, '*' adds the classes form-group has-feedback to all fields within the form and 'ng-class:{"ng-hide":sex==="f"}' is added only to the phone field. Only Angular directives that can be used as CSS classes are allowed within field_css_classes. Additionally, if specified as a string, the string may not contain any spaces or double quotes. However, if specified as a list, spaces can be used, and the above example can be rewritten as:
field_css_classes = {
 'phone': ["ng-class: {'ng-hide': sex==='f'};"],
By adding the keyword '__default__' to this list, the CSS classes for the default entry, ie. '*', are merged with the CSS classes for the current field.
Adding an asterisk for required fields
An asterisk is often added after labels on required fields (like with django-crispy-forms for example). This can be accomplished by using native Django and CSS. To do this, set the required_css_class attribute on SubscriptionForm (see Django documentation).
required_css_class = 'djng-field-required'
Next, add the CSS:
label.djng-field-required::after {
 content: "\00a0*";
Client-side Form validation
To enable client-side Form validation, simply add the mixin class NgFormValidationMixin to the SubscriptionForm class:
class SubscriptionForm(NgFormValidationMixin, Bootstrap3FormMixin, forms.Form):
 # form fields as usual
Here the rendered Form contains all the AngularJS directives as required for client side Form validation. If an entered value does not match the criteria as defined by the definition of SubscriptionForm, AngularJS will notify the user immediately

In this posting I take a look at some of the new lighting improvements at a very basic level.
AutoCAD 2007 supports 4 different types of light sources (5 if you are going to count default lighting). The four different types of lights are Point, Spotlight, Distant and Sun light. Point, Spotlight, and Distant lights were all available in previous releases of AutoCAD that supported rendering (all the way back to R13). Point lights are lights that emit light in all directions, and are similar to a candle or a common household light bulb and as the light moves further away from the source it gets dimmer. A spotlight, would be similar to a flash light as it emits in a specific direction and as the light gets further away from the source it gets dimmer.
- Point light
- Distant light
Distant lights are lights that emit light along a specified vector, but the light does not get dimmer the further away from the source that it gets. A distant light would be similar to the sun, the angle and direction affects how the light is emitted. Sunlight is really a specific distant light that allows you to control the time and day of the sun, and its position through longitudinal and latitudinal values. All lights can be selected in the model using the Lights in Model palette or in some cases light with the point and spotlights can be selected and manipulated directly in the model using grips.
That is about all the time I have for now on lights, until next time.


What do the user flags mean?
The user control flags determine which features a regular user or uploader is allowed to access. By default, a lot of features are not accessible for them, such as share and download. These flags provide the administrator with control over who is allowed to share or push files.
For more information about the different user roles, please see the What are the different user levels page.
The following control flags are available:
The share flag determines whether a user is allowed to share files by email, access the embed code and share files on social media using the theater page.
When the user is allowed to download, the user will have access to all available formats for a file (including the source file), and can download these. Please keep in mind that, when disabling download for a user, a user could still potentially use other ways to capture videos (using screen recording) or pictures (using printscreens). However, it does protect your high quality source files, as they will not be able to access those.
Manage folders
Users with manage rights have access to several features regarding folder management, such as renaming folders and editing/moving/copying files. They can, however, only manage the folders they have been granted access to.
Create folders
This flag will allow a user to create new folders inside a folder he has access to.
Invite to upload
This flag will allow a user to send upload invitations to external users.

Overgrown Beak, hook beak, parrot beak
Sometimes a pigeon's upper beak will longer than it should, usually in a downward curve or a hook. This will eventually make picking up seed impossible and the pigeon will become starved.
Beaks can be trimmed or filed to a more acceptable length, but trimming too far back can cause a serious bleed so trim off a tiny bit at a time
On white beaks identifying how much can be trimmed safely is relatively simple as the overgrown bit will be transparent making it easy to see where the blood supply starts, but in dark beaks it is much more difficult and it might be best to ask a veterinary nurse to do the job the first time so that you can observe!.
 If you plan to trim a beak yourself have a supply of Cornflour ready and dip the beak in it if it starts to bleed and trim off only a fraction at a time, wiping your finger over the end of the beak each time. If there is the tiniest trace of blood on your finger, then stop..
File down any rough bitsThe trimmed beak is likely to overgrow again so pigeons with this condition would be better kept as pets or placed in the permanent care of a sanctuary.

(born 1715, Kirkharle, Northumberland, Eng.died Feb. 6, 1783, London) British master of naturalistic garden design. He worked for years at Stowe, Buckinghamshire, one of the most talked-of gardens of the day, under William Kent (1685–1748). By 1753 he was the leading improver of grounds in England. At Blenheim Palace he created masterly lakes and almost totally erased the earlier formal scheme. His landscapes consisted of expanses of grass, irregularly shaped bodies of water, and trees placed singly and in clumps. His style is often thought of as the antithesis of that of André Le Nôtre, designer of the formal Versailles gardens. Brown's nickname arose from his habit of saying that a place had capabilities.

How long it takes
 - telling: 10 minutes
 - asking: 20 minutes
 - discussion: 30 minutes
A facilitator can have an idea of what stories each participant can tell and what ones would be most interesting. Some ordering decisions can be made on the fly with the help of the audience. A facilitator might ask, "do people think it would be better to explore A or B now considering that we have only 45 minutes until lunch?"
Planning an event
Plan an event by chooing an event duration, from a few hours to a few days, suitable for the subject of interest. Solicit participants by asking for position statements relevant to the subject. Use these statements, which could be as simple as a pragraph, to select participants and order conversations.
This format has been adapted from the conference style pioneered by the Los Altos Workshop on Software Testing.

A recent joke on the comedy panel show 8 out of 10 cats prompted this question. I'm pretty sure the answer's no, but hopefully someone can surprise me.
If you put a person in a balloon, such that the balloon ascended to the upper levels of the atmosphere, is it theoretically possible that an orbiting satellite's (i.e. a moon's) gravity would become strong enough to start pulling you towards it, taking over as the lifting force from your buoyancy?
Clearly this wouldn't work on Earth, as there's no atmosphere between the Earth and the moon, but would it be possible to have a satellite share an atmosphere with its planet such that this would be a possibility, or would any shared atmosphere cause too much drag to allow for the existence of any satellite?
If it were possible, would it also be possible to take a balloon up to the satellite's surface, or would the moon's gravity ensure that its atmosphere was too dense near the surface for a landing to be possible thus leaving the balloonist suspended in equilibrium? Could you jump up from the balloon towards the moon (i.e. jumping away from the balloon in order to loose the buoyancy it provided).

Devices (Device Usage metric)
The number of Visitors or Sessions by Device Type metric tells you the type of devices used by visitors to your website in a specific time range.
This information helps you optimize your website design, experience, content, and optimize your content for advertising campaigns.
What is the device type usage in your analytics dashboard?
Device type in your analytics refers to the visitors who use a mobile phone, desktop, or tablet. Some analytics tools display the device brand, as well.
As you might know by now, visitors to a website come from all around the globe and from all sorts of devices. While some industries are more keen to have visitors using a specific device in a high percentage, sometimes you have to declutter your statistics and see what type of device do people use when they visit your site.
Why is the Device Usage essential for you and your site?
Knowing the devices your website is accessed from helps you optimize your design and content for the devices that your customers use and display a consistent experience to your customers no matter the device they use. This means a higher chance to convert your visitor into a customer.
 Once you start to analyze the data (e.g., each visitor activity combined with device types), you will see the number of visitors by device type in a specific time range. This helps you observe and analyze trends in your traffic, identify opportunities, and easily see the problems that have an impact on your users based on the device type.
 Here a few examples of actions influenced by device type:
 1. Visitors who use a mobile device (e.g., smartphone) to check a site that's not mobile-friendly will:
 - Bounce fast and spend less time on the site
 It is easier to quit a site using a mobile device, and people are used with short content (mobile copywriting) and easy to use websites and apps - if your site lacks these, there is an extremely high chance to lose these customers.
 - Be less likely to perform purchases or fill forms
 If you have a non-mobile-friendly site, but you want your visitors to buy a product or sign-up to something, there is a low chance for this to happen if the user experience is not smooth.
 1. visitors who use a desktop device (computer, notebook)
 While we know for a fact that mobile devices are the leading source of internet traffic in the US and Europe, the highest percent of people spending/buying something online was coming from visits made through a desktop device. Here are a few facts to know about desktop device visitors:
 - They are familiar with long-form content, so if you have a more complex checkout or form, you may want to target desktop users with your ads. However, keep in mind that most of the research is done via mobile devices and the purchase via laptops/notebooks and desktop devices.
 - They spend a higher amount of time watching videos. This, again, helps you optimize the product video of your site (make it lengthier or shorter, based on your target group and stats) and optimize your video ads as well!

Let's say you have some data about your company and want to create a database and tables to store and analyse this data.
Th employees salary information are in the Salary table and employees information in employees table.
id is the primary key for the Salary table and employee_id is the primary key for the employees table. And employee_id in the Salary table is a foreign key for the employee table.
Creating a Database in PostgreSQL –
What is a database?
A database is an organized collection of structured information, or data, typically stored electronically in a computer system. A database is usually controlled by a database management system (DBMS). Together, the data and the DBMS, along with the applications that are associated with them, are referred to as a database system, often shortened to just database. – Oracle
Let's create a database
Life with data (lwd) to store both employee and salary table.
To create a database in SQL, we use the CREATE DATABASE statement. Open the pgAdmin tool that we installed previously. You can find the instruction for installing PostgreSQL and pgAdmin from here –
How to use pgAdmin from here – pgAdmin
Open the pgAdmin > PostgreSQL 14 > Databases > postgres > right click on postgres > Query Tool
Then write –
CREATE DATABASE lwd;
This statement creates a database on your server named lwd using default postgres settings.
Once you execute the query, right click and refresh the Databases on the left navigation, you will see that lwd database is created.
Connect to the lwd database –
Now that we have successfully created the lwd database but before we create any table we have to make sure that we are connected to this database and not the default postgres database.
- Close the query tool by click x on top right, no need to save the previous query.
- In the object browser right click on lwd and select Query Tool.
- In the top right you will see lwd/postgres@PostgreSQL 14.
- Now, any code you execute will be applied to the lwd database.
Create Tables in PostgreSQL –
What is a Table?
A table is a grid of rows and columns that stores data. Each rows holds a collection of columns, and each column contains data of a specified type: most commonly, numbers, characters, and dates. When you create a table, you assign a name to each column (sometimes referred to as a field or attribute) and assign it a data type. The Data type of a column determine what kind of data can be stored in that column. If you enter a text data into a date column then you will get an error.
CREATE TABLE Statement –
To create a table in a database we use the CREATE TABLE statement followed by the table name.
CREATE TABLE table_name ( col1 datatype, col2 datatype, col3 datatype,.... );
Let's create both the salary table.
Salary Table –
CREATE TABLE Salary ( id bigserial, employee_id int, amount int, pay_date date );
The id column in this table is bigserial data type. It is a special integer data type that auto-increments every time you add a new row to the table. the first row gets the value of 1, second row 2, and so on.
The employee_id and amount is of int type, sort for integer. And the pay_date is a date (year, month, day) type.
To insert text in a column we can use char(n) for fixed length string and varchar(n) for variable length string where n is the length of the string.
Later we will talk more about various data types and constraints in a table. But for now, we will keep it simple. Make sure to follow our blog for the latest updates.
Once you execute the above code and right click refresh on lwd database, salary table will be inside the lwd > schemas > public > Tables > salary.
INSERT statement –
often when we work with large number of rows, the easiest method is to import data from a csv file or from other databases directly into table, which I will explain in the upcoming posts. But for now we will learn how to do it manually.
To insert data into a table we use the INSERT Statement.
INSERT INTO table_name (col1, col2, col3,...) VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...);
Let's insert data into the salary table.
INSERT INTO salary (employee_id, amount, pay_date) VALUES (1, 9000, '2017/03/31'), (2, 6000, '2017/03/31'), (3, 10000, '2017/03/31'), (1, 7000, '2017/02/28'), (2, 6000, '2017/02/28'), (3, 8000, '2017/02/28');
If you run the above query, the salary table will be created. After the INSERT INTO we write the table name in which we want to insert the data followed by column names inside the parenthesis. In the next row we use the VALUES keyword followed by the data to insert into each column in each row. We did not inserted the values for the id column as it is bigserial type and the values gets automatically inserted for each rows as we discussed before.
To confirm that everything worked correctly, you can run the following sql query to see the data.
SELECT * FROM salary
We have successfully created the database and the salary table. Now go ahead and create the employee table yourself.
