Manitowoc serial number
There are many different models and styles of Manitowoc ice machines on the market. From ice dispensers, and nugget ice makers, to air cooled ice machines, there are a lot Manitowoc ice machine options out there. The Manitowoc ice machine serial number and model number can help you identify if a machine is under warranty or specifics about the ice machine.
In this article, we'll teach you how to read a Manitowoc ice machine's serial number and model number nomenclature.
How to Read a Manitowoc Ice Machine Serial Number
Manitowoc serial numbers on post-2006 have two numbers that identify the date the machine was manufactured and warranty information the manufacturer uses to identify if there are any ice maker components under warranty.
You can find a Manitowoc serial number's location on the back of the ice machine.

Manitowoc Serial Number Date Code
Manitowoc serial number date
In post-2006 models, the date the ice machine was produced is not included in the serial number. You can find the date listed above the serial number listed as "MFG DT". A Manitowoc serial number's nomenclature is easy to decipher. The four-digit code is listed as year followed by the month of production. For example, in the example above the label reads MFG DT 1809, the machine was manufactured in September 2018.
In pre-2006 models, the date is included in the serial number. This code uses the same nomenclature as newer models but places he four-digit code right before the serial number. For example, if the serial number is 160868304, the "0508" would mean the machine was manufactured in August 2005.
Manitowoc Serial Number Usage
Manitowoc serial number
The rest of a Manitowoc serial number is important because it provides the manufacturer with valuable information about existing warranties on their machines. If you're running into ice machine issues and want to see if your particular Manitowoc commercial ice machine model is under warranty, you'll likely need to provide this number to Manitowoc customer service.
Ice machine technicians may also need this number to see if any ice machine repairs are covered by the manufacturer – which saves you money in repair costs.
The number is listed on the back of the machine under the label SERIAL NO.
Information Found Inside a Manitowoc Ice Machine Model Number
Reading a Manitowoc ice machine's model is different than how you would read a Manitowoc serial number. This 8-digit alphanumeric code tells you everything about the machine, from the ice type to the type of refrigerant it uses.
A Manitowoc model number will tell you:
 - Model Version
 - Ice Type
 - Refrigerant Type
 - Production size
 - Type of Condenser
 - And more
Model numbers are different between brands. For example, a Hoshizaki model number provides much of the same information, they're just presented differently.
Model Version
Just like cars, ice machines go through changes and upgrades to stay up to date with emerging technology.
Manitowoc ice machines come out with new models every few years. Currently, the Manitowoc Indigo NXT ice machine is the most recent. Past models include the Q series. As new models come forth, look to see that letter change to reflect the newest technology.
A Manitowoc commercial ice machine model number uses the first letter to signify the newest model.
Ice Type
The ice type is the shape of ice the ice machine makes. Manitowoc has 5 different ice types in their machines, Half-dice, Dice, Regular, Flake, and Nugget.
In a Manitowoc ice machine model number, the ice type is found directly after the model version.
Here is a list of the types of ice below:
Refrigerant Type
Some Manitowoc Indigo NXT ice machines use a different type of refrigerant than others. This is to meet federal guidelines for a more energy-efficient ice maker (some refrigerant is more energy-efficient than others).
In a Manitowoc ice machine model number, the letter following the ice type signifies the type of refrigerant the machine uses.
There are two types of machines that use different types of refrigerant.
 - T = R10A refrigerant
 - F = R404A refrigerant
While many ice machine owners aren't concerned with the type of refrigerant their ice machine uses, it is important information for an ice machine technician to know.
Production Size
The Manitowoc ice machine model number will also let you know the maximum amount of ice an ice machine can produce. This is normally signified by a four-digit number, signifying the amount of ice an ice machine will produce in 24 hours. In the US, the number is in relation to pounds.
The Manitowoc ice machine production size is listed after the dash following the refrigerant type.
Type of Condenser
Manitowoc ice machines have three condenser types available on their ice makers: air-cooled, water-cooled, and remote. The type of condenser lets users know how the machine cools itself down.
Air cooled machines use the surrounding air to cool condenser coils. Water cooled ice machines use water to cool down. Remote ice machines place the condenser outside, away from the ice maker machine.
In a Manitowoc ice machine model number, the type of condenser is shown in the letter directly following the production size.
Here is a list of Manitowoc condenser types:

 1. I have an older Manitowoc ice making machine Model S570. Is this an air cooled or water cooled machine. I am looking to replace it and wondering what Manitowoc model is relatively similar?
 1. Hello Ron,
 Thank you so much for reaching out. The model you provided looks like the model number for the bin, which is what holds the ice. There are a few different models that can fit on that bin size, so it would be best to locate the model number of the machine itself. This is an 8-digit alphanumeric code that generally looks something similar to this: IYF-0600A. The 0600 in this case represents the production of the machine (approx. 600 lbs), and the "A" represents air-cooled machine.
 A = Manitowoc air cooled ice machines
 W = Manitowoc water cooled ice machines
 N = Manitowoc remote cooled ice machines
 Here are some Manitowoc ice maker models that you can use to reference.

Flow-straighteners are used before flow-meters because they remove disturbances from the flow and achieve nearly-fully developped velocity profiles. But is there any other uses of flow straighteners than flow-metering? Car companies like Mitsubishi, for instance, developped their own models of flow straighteners, what for?

Jet pipe is employed in turbo-jet engine. It is situated before afterburner and after the turbine. It (among all the other functions) also acts as the flow straightener.
Wind tunnels have the flow straightener before the nozzle. It is very important for a wind tunnel to have a flow straightener, so that the test section has as less turbulence as possible.

Flow straighteners are also used in experimental setups, where a uniform flow free of swirl is required. Swirl can be induced notably by a motor. This could be important in wind tunnel design, or study of liquid flows in ducts.
In order to properly remove swirl, honeycomb designs having cell lengths at least 6-8 times their diameter should be used, see reference.

Atlantic Cod, Gadus morhua, is an omnivorous fish that dwells in the upper North Atlantic Ocean. Referred to as "the beef of the sea," cod became the primary fish sought for after the discovery of Newfoundland by John Cabot in 1497. During the late 16th century, the cod fishing industry soared and the English began vying with the French, Spanish, and Portuguese over the fish trade. Finally, during the 17th century, the English launched their own cod market and became the primary fish suppliers to the Iberian Peninsula and early English colonists. Due to the multiple nations involved in the cod trade, various methods for preserving the fish were created.
During the 17th century, the most common method the English used to preserve fish was referred to as the "Newfoundland" cure, however, other techniques such as brining, or pickling, were also used. The process of the "Newfoundland" cure involved beheading, dressing, splitting, lightly salting, and drying the cod before storage. In contrast, evidence suggests that brining involved soaking the entire cod in brine.
This curing information was then applied to data from the faunal remains found amid the wreckage of Warwick (1619) and Mary Rose (1545). Among Warwick's faunal remains, 15 skeletal elements were identified as Gadus morhua. Of these identified bones, the spine and cranial findings were diagnostic because fish heads and backbones (spines) are usually removed during dressing and splitting. The presence of these bones infer that the cod aboard Warwick were brined. 31,793 fish bones were found aboard Mary Rose and over 90% of these bones were identified as Atlantic cod; however, unlike Warwick, no cranial specimens were found and 149 of the cod bones showed butchery marks, which are indicative of beheading and splitting the fish. The butchery marks suggest that the fish aboard Mary Rose underwent the "Newfoundland" cure, while Warwick's cod were brined. It is possible that due to high humidity on ships, and the lack of opportunities for restocking on lengthy transatlantic voyages, the brined cod was preferable for stocking ships undergoing such journeys compared to naval ships that usually stayed close to European coasts.
Unfortunately, the sample sized used here is too small. More historical accounts and archaeological evidence are needed to form a definitive explanation as to why each method was utilized.

Ever wondered how different people's surnames end up as part of the scientific names given to plants and animals? It is considered very bad form to name a new species that you describe after yourself, but someone else might do it for you as a mark of respect. That is what happened to nineteenth century botanical collector and draughtsman to the Colonial Museum and Geological Survey, John Buchanan FLS (_PHONE_).
Unsurprisingly, given the energetic botanical collecting he engaged in as soon as he arrived in New Zealand from Scotland in 1852, most of the species that bear John Buchanan's name are plants. But there is also a predatory sea snail, Antimelatoma buchanani described by Frederick Wollaston Hutton in 1873. Over eighty examples of this marine snail, gathered from Deep Water Cove to Queen Charlotte Sound, are in the mollusc collection at Te Papa.
When Hutton described the features of this new species, he was working as assistant geologist to James Hector in the Geological Survey Department in Wellington. John Buchanan was a colleague whose sharp eye for flora and fauna that might be new to science was much admired. His technical drawing skills were superlative, and he was the illustrator for eighteen issues of the Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute from the date of its first publication in 1868.
The ornamental grass Danthonia buchanani and orange sedge Carex buchanani are also named after John Buchanan, who won the first prize at the Melbourne Exhibition in 1880-81 for his technical ingenuity in producing The Indigenous Grasses of New Zealand. This folio-sized book was nature –printed direct from the specimens themselves, and appeared in three parts in 1878, 1879 and 1880. There is still printer's ink on some of the grasses that Te Papa holds that were used by Buchanan to produce the lithographic plates.
Buchanan sent many of the plants he found back to experts in Glasgow or to Kew Gardens. The lichen Stereocaulon buchanani he sent to James Stirton M.D., who – like Buchananhad become a foundation member of the Glasgow Society of Field Naturalists in 1871. Stirton published his description as Article LIV in Volume 7 of the Transactions, and Buchanan illustrated it.
From his humble beginnings as a designer for printed calico for the textile industry back home in Glasgow, Buchanan reinvented himself as a man of science on emigration to Dunedin in 1852. His drawing skills were his ticket to professional employment opportunities. He worked first on the Reconnaissance Survey with Alexander Garvie, and then was recruited by James Hector M.D. in April 1862 to work as a draughtsman and botanical artist for the Otago Geological Survey.
Hector respected Buchanan's botanical knowledge and commissioned an essay on the botany of Otago for the New Zealand Exhibition in Dunedin in 1865, later to be published in the Transactions. Te Papa has Buchanan's watercolours of the plants which were displayed at the exhibition as part of the work of the survey. Many of these, including Coprosma lucida and Plagianthus lyalli have been loaned to the Hocken Library for the exhibition Art in the Service of Science: Dunedin's John Buchanan, which runs until 9 February 2013.
Corollary to the exhibition, a two day symposium will be convened on 29 and 30 November at Salmond College in Dunedin for researchers to present their work on Buchanan. It includes a presentation by Jim Endersby of Sussex University, whose talk at Otago Museum on Thursday evening is provocatively entitled Imperial Science: the invention of New Zealand plants.
For more on John Buchanan and the symposium you can watch an interview with Linda Tyler here.

The Impact of the Global Financial Crisis on Poverty in the Philippines
AbstractThe recent global financial and economic crisis which started in the United States and expanded to other developed countries has, to some extent, affected developing countries as well. Given the vulnerability of most developing countries, it is important to monitor the impact of this global crisis on poverty. This study, therefore, aims to assess the impact of the crisis on poverty in the Philippines. The result of this study would serve as inputs to policymakers in prioritizing mitigating measures that would address the impact of the crisis. In this study, monitoring is done primarily through the conduct of CBMS surveys in selected sentinel sites. Householdand community-level data were collected to capture the different dimensions of poverty. In addition to the CBMS core indicators, specific indicators (including the outcome and impact indicators) were monitored to determine the impact of the global crisis. These indicators were identified based on the relevant key transmission channels for the Philippines including overseas employment and remittances, and local employment. The study also looked at the different coping mechanisms adopted by the households in response to the crisis. The study also attempted to identify who are able to access the programs which were being implemented in the community. Ten (10) barangays all over the Philippines were selected to serve as poverty observatories or sentinel sites for monitoring the impact of the global crisis. Selection of these sites was also based on the relevant transmission channels for the Philippines. Results reveal that although the impact of the crisis is generally minimal, the crisis has affected some specific sectors in the economy. The degree of impact also varies among different groups of households. Hence, policies should be designed to mitigate the impact of the crisis on these affected sectors and groups of households.

Incapacitating hormone balance
Incapacitating hormone balance by smoking
Incapacitating hormone balance by smoking: Nicotine irritability
There is no doubt that nicotine is harmful to human health. Everybody knows this. However, what many women may not know is that besides all the risk like heart complications, lung conditions, several cancers and osteoporosis, cigarette smoking is also incapacitating hormone balance. Many women are the concern with other problems like how cigarette affects their beauty, fatigue and nutrient depletion because that is what can be physically seen outright. All that has been mention are closely associated with cigarette smoking but for the purpose of this article, we want to look at how nicotine causes hormone imbalances. According to experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, several research has established that premenopausal women who smoke have the higher risk of infertility, complications during the menstrual cycle and even get into early menopause. Besides that, it is also becoming evident that cigarette smoking also affects menopausal hormones.
Incapacitating hormone balance by smoking: Why you need to quit smoking
What is stated above is just a drop in the ocean when it comes to the risks associated with smoking. Therefore the evidence of how bad smoking is to your health is very overwhelming. And just a quick reminder, your consistent morning cough should alert you of the damage smoking is causing to your lungs. Remember that every stick of cigarette robes you off the much-needed energy in your body's daily needs.
Quitting smoking will, therefore, enable you to keep your hormones well balanced. And when this is achieved, you will experience more mood stability and put to check your weight. Remember that even using nicotine patches and gum instead of smoking will help, because the chemicals added to cigarette tobacco and created by burning tobacco are thought to be those responsible for most of the negative side effects. In other words, it's not the nicotine itself that's so very harmful, it's the delivery system. You can choose today to be free from all these challenges by calling doctor Dalal Akoury MD for a more professional direction about all the addictive elements of cigarette smoking and how it sabotages hormone balance.
Incapacitating hormone balance by smoking: Menopausal women
In menopausal women, cigarette smoking raises adrenal hormones such as cortisol (a stress hormone), and androgens (male hormones) such as androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Chronically high cortisol levels create unstable blood sugar, which in turn causes high blood glucose and insulin which stimulates the ovaries to produce androgens. It, therefore, means that in a menopausal woman, the ovaries have slackened in the production of estrogen and progesterone, nonetheless, the production of androgens can continue well into her eighties. Androgens without the balance of estrogen and progesterone are the source of much-dreaded hair loss and whiskers in older women and cigarette smoking magnifies these effects.
Quitting smoking, combined with strategies to balance hormones such as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), stress management, exercise, and reduction of sugar and refined carbohydrates, has dramatic potential to improve overall health, stabilize mood, increase energy, increase weight loss and improve sleep and that explains why you need to quit smoking now if not immediately.

Example 1: La trahison des images also known as The Treachery of Images by René Magritte.
Ceci n'est pas une pipe. Translation: This is not a pipe.
Example 2: Liar's Paradox
This sentence is false.
I am lying.
Everything I say is false.
Every person is a liar.
If this sentence is true, then the sentence is false, but if the sentence is false, then it must be true…
Example 3: *Zeno's Paradox
The idea that motion is but an illusion. As Aristotle put it, locomotion must arrive at the halfway stage before it arrives at the goal. Eventually, you are stuck in an infinite loop.
*Thank you, Martin Grandjean, for the image.
Other examples: Russell's Paradox, Paradox of Court, The Crocodile Dilemma and a list of others.
The bottom line: There are things in our world that are totally true but cannot be proven. Sometimes we are stuck on difficult problems. Problems that are infinite in length. Instead of being caught in a loop, humans have a special ability to jump out of the system to ask why, to think about contradictions. Mechanical thinking is great for improving yields, crunching big data. Meta-thinking, the idea of thinking about thinking, helps us understand our place in the world, meaning and ultimately why we do the things we do.


While brightwheel is built to best serve early childhood education centers, there are nannies across the country utilizing the platform to provide insight to parents about their child's day. There are a couple of ways that brightwheel can be setup to work for a nanny or home care situation.
Nanny Owned
The most common setup for nannies is where the nanny or homecare provider is the account owner and manages the platform independently. In this situation, the nanny can add students and parent contacts, just like a teacher would in any other facility.
This enables the nanny to log activities, manage invoices and billing, and communicate with parents.
Parent Owned
For parents who prefer to be in control of the brightwheel platform, this setup may be more preferable. In this situation, the parents would start and manage the brightwheel account and then add their nanny as a staff member. This method still allows the nanny to use all of the features listed above, but the actual account management will be handled by the parents.
The parents should also be added as parent contacts in this situation so that they can get notifications and updates through the brightwheel app.

Weatherwatch: tornadoes and trailer parks
A tornado touching down in Riverside, California. Those living in well-built houses have less to fear. Photograph: Michael Ritter/AP
Spring might sound appealing, but in trailer parks in the part of the southern US known as Tornado Alley spring is the start of a season of destruction. Twisters cause tremendous damage to trailer parks every year. Popular lore suggests mobile homes act as tornado magnets, and statistics seem to confirm this: almost 40% of tornado fatalities in the US are in mobile homes, although they are only 7% of housing. It has been suggested that this is divine judgment on immoral trailer park residents, but there are more physical reasons. Fragile, temporary structures are far more vulnerable than permanent brick-built homes. They do not have protective storm cellars, and can even be rolled over by a strong wind.
Permanent buildings also benefit from another defence. Tornadoes are fed by an inrush of air at ground level. Trailer parks offer little resistance to this, since they have one-storey buildings with flat roofs. Taller buildings create a significant amount of air friction, slowing the air flow and so choking off the tornado. In these conditions, tornadoes are short-lived and dissipate before they can do much damage.
Built-up urban districts do get hit by tornadoes, but the damage and loss of life is usually minimal. A series of tornadoes struck the Brooklyn and Queens boroughs of New York City in 2010, resulting in a death. This is a very low toll compared to what a single tornado can do in a trailer park.

Firstly, I just bought a G2S mini pro from Geeetech and it is my first 3D printer (therefore I'm 100% newbie in this area).
The first extruder seems to be ok, the temperature varies from 23°C to 201°C and if you touch it you can see that it is hot. However, for the second extruder, the temperature is shown with more than 400°C:
Second extruder at 400°C
The cables are connected correctly and the firmware is updated.
Do I have to return the printer? Or is there another solution?
1 Answer 1
If you have access to an IR thermometer, it would be interesting to verify what the actual temperature is. I doubt the hot end actually reaches that temperature, but:
 - if it actually does, then it could actually be dangerous, as most extruders are designed for temperatures well below 300°C. The problem would likely be in the firmware in this case.
 - if it stays cold, then probably is a problem with the temperature probe or its cables/connectors being broken. Most printers use thermistors as temperature probes, and thermistors let less and less current pass through the higher the temperature is, so: no current would be interpreted as the hot end being "extremely hot" and the firmware would not heat the hot end further.
 - if it is hot but at another temperature than the one displayed, then it could either be a problem with the probe over-reading or a firmware bug (e.g.: the temperature is shown in Fahrenheit, or the firmware mis-process the signal from the probe).
Either way: thermistors and cables are cheap to replace, while problems with the firmware may be fixed only if you have access to the code.
If you just bought the printer in a physical store, I would simply swap it with another unit, rather than fiddling with it, though.

Image caption Berkeley, seen here in 1963, has now been stripped of its equipment
The Magnox reactor buildings at the world's first commercial nuclear power station stand square, almost defiantly, against the brisk breeze from the River Severn.
Built in the late 1950s, the power station produced enough electricity during its heyday to supply a city the size of Bristol.
These days, devoid of life and stripped of its external pipework, the seven-storey buildings are little more than hollow shells.
"When they were operational they were full, jam packed with gear," says site director Sean Sargent as he surveys one of the large, dark rooms in Reactor 2, the beam from his powerful torch bouncing off the cold concrete floor and walls.
Locked up and sealed
Image caption Mr Sargent says 99% of the radioactive waste was sent to Sellafield 20 years ago
Inside the windowless structures, vast concrete chambers, stripped of monitoring and control equipment, surround a central cylinder that houses the old nuclear reactors.
But electricity production at the Berkeley site ceased in the late 1980s, marking the end of just over three decades of supplying the National Grid.
Since then, the reactors have taken on new lives.
These days, following two decades of dismantling and decommissioning, their function is to store the reactor's casing and core.
On Thursday, the buildings will be locked up and sealed for 64 years of nuclear waste storage - allowing the radiation in the reactors to degrade to levels low enough to make it both safe and economic to remove the waste that is still left within them before knocking them down.
"We'll be locking the doors and that'll be it," says Mr Sargent.
Nowhere to put it
Image caption Intermediate-level nuclear waste will be recovered from underground vaults and moved to a new site
In nuclear jargon, sealing the buildings is referred to as "entering Safestore"; the second stage in a lengthy process of nuclear power plant decommissioning.
Berkeley is the first of 10 Magnox nuclear power stations in the UK to reach this stage of decommissioning, though they will all follow suit over the years ahead.
Sara Johnston from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) believes this is "demonstrating the progress made in decommissioning".
"This is a hugely significant achievement, not just for the site but for the UK nuclear industry as a whole," she says.
Sceptics, however, believe it highlights how slow the process of dealing with nuclear waste is, and point out that there is more than one reason why the reactor buildings at Berkeley will remain intact for three-quarters of a century after electricity production here came to an end.
One reason is that it is cheaper and just as efficient to leave the contaminated material where it is, rather than build a new storage facility on site.
The other reason is that the UK still has not constructed a geological disposal facility where it can put its radioactive waste.
Nuclear waste
Image caption Berkeley nuclear power station ceased producing electricity in 1989
At this point in time, it has not even been decided where the UK's underground nuclear waste repository will be constructed, though somewhere near Sellafield in Cumbria - where the vast bulk of the UK's high-level nuclear waste is currently stored - is generally deemed the most likely location.
This was where the foundations were laid for the construction of Berkeley and the UK's commercial nuclear power industry, when during the late 1950s Calder Hall at Sellafield branched out from nuclear for military purposes to also deliver power to the National Grid.
This is also where spent fuel rods from Berkeley were sent for reprocessing during _PHONE_, so all the active waste - some 99% of all the radioactivity that was here - has long since left the site in Gloucestershire.
But Berkeley has nevertheless been left with about 1,000 tonnes of intermediate-level radioactive waste from its research laboratories, and in the form of sludge from the treatment of the cooling water.
This waste is currently stored below ground in eight-metre deep vaults, each of them six metres wide and 14 metres long.
Like all the contaminated waste in the UK, Berkeley's intermediate-level waste will eventually end up in the planned underground repository, though in the meantime it will be stored on site.
A new storage facility will be created above ground, adjacent to the two reactor-buildings-cum-waste-stores.
"We talk of a three box solution," says Mr Sargent.
Problem for newbuild?
Regulators and local people alike seem satisfied that the storage solutions at Berkeley are safe for now.
But having radioactive waste temporarily stored at old Magnox nuclear power station sites, at a time when plans for the next generation of new nuclear power plants in the UK is being hammered out, could prove problematic for the industry.
Opponents to nuclear power will see it as visible proof that the mess from the past has not been sorted out, thus undermining assurances by the newbuild industry that its radioactive waste will be properly dealt with in the future.

The 9 best ways to mockup a website
What is the best way to mockup a website? It is the one that will not cause misunderstandings between web designers and web developers.
We offer nine best practices to design a website mockup that can significantly help you to develop and implement it with ease.
1. Separate every page/view when design a website mockup
Every page/view should be prepared as a separate PSD file with a corresponding intuitive name.
2. Observe the grid layout when mockup a website
All structural elements of the design should be arranged as an appropriate layered structure with clear titles, so a programmer can easily find all the parts, e.g.:
- slider
- sign-up button
- navigating arrows
- close cross
- about us block
- text
- who we are block
- text
- button find out more
The structure above is intuitively clear and possible to arrange correctly. It makes it possible to quickly assemble the page frame and position elements on the page.
3. Consider the screen resolution to improve design of a website mockup
All sizes and fonts should be integer values set in pixels and correspond to the size of the screen resolution that your design is prepared for (so a developer will not need to work on manual scaling or guessing how it should be changed for the different solutions).
4. Think over the structure for different devices when mockup a website
If there should be a specific (different) structure for mobile compared to the web, a designer must provide exact representations for those screens to keep all sizes, paddings, and elements accordingly.
5. Feel free to create additional folders for your website mockup
A designer must provide all used icons and all high-resolution images (if they exist for any kind of sliders, banners etc.) in a separate folder.
6. Describe graphic elements when design a website mockup
For all the elements with alternative visual states (like active, inactive, blocked, mouse-over, etc.), a designer must include a graphic representation of how these elements should look like for each particular state (it is related to buttons, navigation elements, etc.).
7. Specify colours to improve mockup design
Sometimes there are specific colours that can hardly be seen on different screen types (as you know, Macs have other displaying options, and sometimes in-between tints are missing for the human eye).
Specify these colours with a HEX number.
8. Describe the animation when design a website mockup
For all animations that a front-end developer needs to create (like flashes, pop-ups, etc.), a designer should describe them in an additional readme file.
9. Don't forget about typography elements to mockup a website
When you design a website mockup it is necessary to have a different layout with the standard typography design elements:
 - headings
 - paragraphs
 - tables
 - lists
 - blocks of quotation
Final words about mockup a website
Use these proven tips to design a website mockup any front-end developer will be happy to work with.
Remember, that thr right website mockup can save plenty of communication and management time (from 10% to 30% of overall work time) when working with a particular view/web page/mobile screen.
Just like any idea needs Proof of Concept, any design needs a well-thought-out mockup. It can simplify the customer's life, the designer, the programmer, and the whole team indeed.

A scientist from Queen Mary has produced a dance track that sounds like it is accelerating forever.
The track is based on an audio illusion that can make a rhythm sound, impossibly, as if it speeds up to hundreds of times faster than its starting tempo. Dr Dan Stowell from Queen Marys Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) has been investigating the illusion - and now he's turned it into dance music.
Originally produced by French composer and scientist Jean-Claude Risset, the Risset Illusion superimposes and loops rhythms of different speeds. Dr Stowell explains: "Your brain has a preference to focus on rhythms of a particular speed, so as the tempo changes your attention is naturally drawn to events in the mid-tempo range, even when you are trying to follow a beat that is always accelerating."
The loudness of the different rhythms is also manipulated to keep the recording from turning into a pile-up of an infinite number of sounds.
Dr Stowell was studying how to use the illusion in combination with conventional music rhythms, and following a conference presentation he was asked by a digital music label to produce a piece of dance music based on the idea.
He explains: "Some researchers have studied what happens when people are asked to tap their finger to these weird rhythms, but it would be even better to see what happens when people try and dance to it."
Dr Stowell researches the analysis and synthesis of sound, and also produces music under the name MCLD. He adds: "In the track, the tempo doubles about every 30 seconds, which is far beyond what happens in most music. It means that, if you say the track starts off at 120 beats per minute, at the end it is nominally going at 15,360 beats per minute."
For comparison, the Greek tune known as Zorba's Dance or Sirtaki famously speeds up as it goes along, but from 100 bpm only goes up to around 170 bpm.
Despite speeding up so much, the Risset Illusion prevents it from sounding a complete mess, meaning it can carry on accelerating indefinitely adds Stowell.
The seven minute track is featured on an EP released on Monday 27 February by Chordpunch, titled RissEP - a play on Risset's name. Commenting on the pun, Jean-Claude Risset said: "I do not consider the names you propose as disrespectful."

xWorks AE, you can also change the Scope and Action settings for breakpoints.
9.4.1. Scope and Action Settings for VxWorks AE
In VxWorks AE breakpoints have two extra properties:
 - Scope:
 Which task(s) will be stopped at a given breakpoint. Possible values are:
 - task:
 The breakpoint only affects the task that was active when the breakpoint was set. If the breakpoint is set before the program is run, the breakpoint affects the environment task.
 - pd:.. index:: protection domain
 Any task in the current protection domain is affected by the breakpoint.
 - any:
 Any task in any protection domain is affected by the breakpoint. This setting is only allowed for tasks in the Kernel domain.
 - Action:
 When a task hits a breakpoints, which tasks are stopped:
 - task: only the task that hit the breakpoint.
 - pd: all tasks in the current protection domain.
 - all: all stoppable tasks in the system.
You set and change these properties through the advanced breakpoints characteristics by clicking on the Advanced button. There are two ways of setting these properties:
 - Per breakpoint settings:
 After setting a breakpoint (the default Scope or Action values are both task), select the Scope/Action tab in the Advanced settings. To change these settings for a specific breakpoint, select it from the breakpoints list, select the desired values of Scope and Action, and click on the Update button.
 - Default session settings:
 Select the Scope/Action tab in the Advanced settings, select the desired Scope and Action settings, check the Set as session defaults check box and click the Close button. From then on, every new breakpoint will have the specified values for Scope and Action.
If you enabled the preference Debugger ‣ Preserve state on exit, GPS automatically saves the currently set breakpoints and restores them the next time you debug the same executable. This allows you to immediately start debugging your application without having to set the breakpoints every time.
9.5. The Memory View
The memory view allows you to display the contents of memory by specifying either an address or a variable name.
To display memory contents, enter either the address using the C hexadecimal notation (0xabcd) or the name of a variable in the Location text entry. (If a variable is entered, the underlying debugger computes its address.) Then either press Enter or click the View button. GPS displays the memory with the corresponding addresses in the bottom text area.
Specify the unit size (Byte, Halfword or Word) and the format (Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, or ASCII) and you can display the corresponding ASCII value at the same time.
The up and down arrows as well as the Page up and Page down keys in the memory text area allow you to walk through the memory in order of ascending or descending addresses respectively.
Finally, modify a memory area by clicking on the location you want to modify and entering the new values. Modified values appear in a different color (red by default) and are only written to the target when you click on the Submit changes button. Clicking on Undo changes or going up or down in the memory also undoes your editing.
Clicking on Close closes the memory window, canceling your last pending changes, if any.
9.6. Using the Source Editor when Debugging
When debugging, the left area of each source editor provides the following information:
Lines with code
Blue dots are shown next to lines for which the debugger has debug information, i.e., lines that have been compiled with debug information and for which the compiler has generated some code. If you try to set a breakpoint on lines not so marked, GPS sends the breakpoint command to the underlying debugger, which usually (e.g in the case of gdb) results in setting a breakpoint at the closest location to the file and line you specified.
Current line executed
A green arrow showing the line about to be executed.
Lines with breakpoints
A red mark is displayed on top of the blue dot on lines where breakpoints have been set. Add or delete breakpoints by clicking on this area (the first click sets a breakpoint, the second click removes it).
The second area in the source editor is a text window on the right that displays the source files, with syntax highlighting. If you hold the pointer over a variable, GPS displays a tooltip showing the value of that variable. Disable these automatic tooltips using the preferences menu. (See Preferences Dialog.)
When the debugger is active, the contextual menu of the source window contains a Debug submenu providing the entries below. These entries are dynamic and apply to the entity under the pointer (depending on the current language). In addition, if you have made a selection in the editor, the text of the selection is used instead. This allows you to easily display complex expressions (for example, you can add comments to your code with expressions you want to display in the debugger).
 - Debug ‣ Print *selection*
 Prints the selection (or by default the name under the pointer) in the debugger console.
 - Debug ‣ Display *selection*
 Displays the selection (or by default the name under the pointer) in the data browser. GPS automatically refreshes this value each time the process state changes (e.g after a step or a next command). To freeze the display, click on the corresponding icon in the browser or use the contextual menu for that item (see The Data Browser).
 - Debug ‣ Print *selection*.all
 Dereferences the selection (or by default the name under the pointer) and prints the value in the debugger console.
 - Display *selection*.all
 Dereferences the selection (or by default the name under the pointer) and displays the value in the data browser.
 - View memory at address of *selection*
 Brings up the memory view dialog and explores memory at the address of the selection.
 - Set Breakpoint on Line *xx*
 Sets a breakpoint on the line under the pointer.
 - Set Breakpoint on *selection*
 Sets a breakpoint at the beginning of the subprogram named selection.
 - Continue Until Line *xx*
 Continues execution (the program must have been started previously) until it reaches the specified line.
 - Show Current Location
 Jumps to the current line of execution. This is particularly useful after navigating through your source code.
9.7. The Assembly Window
It is sometimes convenient to look at the assembly code for the subprogram or source line you are currently debugging.
Open the assembly window by using the Debug ‣ Data ‣ Assembly menu.
The current assembler instruction is highlighted on the left with a green arrow. The instructions corresponding to the current source line are highlighted (by default in red). This allows you to easily see where the program counter will point after you press the Next button on the tool bar.
Move to the next assembler instruction using the Nexti (next instruction) button in the tool bar. If you choose Stepi instead (step instruction), it steps into any subprogram being called by that instruction.
For efficiency purposes, GPS only displays a small part of the assembly code around the current instruction. Specify how many instructions are displayed in the Preferences Dialog. Display the instructions immediately preceding or following the currently displayed instructions by pressing one of the Page up or Page down keys or using the contextual menu in the assembly window.
A convenient complement when debugging at the assembly level is the ability to display the contents of machine registers. When the debugger supports it (as gdb does), select the Debug ‣ Data ‣ Display Registers menu to get an item in the data browswer that shows the current contents of each machine register and that is updated every time one of them changes.
You might also choose to look at a single register. With gdb, select the Debug ‣ Data ‣ Display Any Expression menu, enter something like:
output /x $eax
in the field and select toggle button Expression is a subprogram call. This creates a new browser item that is refreshed every time the value of the register (in this case eax) changes.
9.8. The Debugger Console
The debugger console is the text window located at the bottom of the main window. It gives you direct access to the underlying debugger, to which you can send commands (you need to refer to the underlying debugger's documentation, but usually typing "help" will gives you an overview of the available commands).
If the underlying debugger allows it, pressing Tab in this window provides completion for the command being typed (or its arguments).
Additional commands are defined here to provide a simple text interface to some graphical features. Here is the complete list of such commands (the arguments between square brackets are optional and can be omitted):
graph (print|display) expression [dependent on display_num] [link_name name] [at x, y] [num num]
Create a new item in the browser showing the value of Expression, which is the name of a variable, or one of its fields, in the current scope for the debugger. The command graph print creates a frozen item, one that is not automatically refreshed when the debugger stops, while graph display displays an item that is automatically refreshed.
The new item is associated with a number displayed in its title bar. This number can be specified with the num keyword and can be used to create links between the items, using the second argument to the command, dependent on. By specifying the third argument, the link itself (i.e. the line) can be given a name that is also displayed.
graph (print|display) 'command'
Similar to the above, except you use it to display the result of a debugger command in the browser. For example, using gdb, if you want to display the value of a variable in hexadecimal rather than the default decimal, use a command like:
graph

I need to update the Notes field in my table tblMain by concatenating the text data with the Notes field in my secondary table tblSecond by matching the ID field in both tables.
I was using the following SQL:
UPDATE tblMain
SET tblMain.Notes = (tblMain.Notes + (SELECT DISTINCT Notes FROM tblSecond
WHERE tblSecond.ID = tblMain.ID))
but I get the following error
Subquery returned more than 1 value.
presumably because the SELECT statement is returning an entire resultset.
How would I perform this operation successfully?
share|improve this question
I just tried it again using a MERGE MERGE INTO tblMain USING ( SELECT ID, notes FROM tblSecond ) Second ON (Second.ID = tblMain.ID) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET tblMain.Notes = tblMain.Notes + Second.notes but I get a similar error: The MERGE statement attempted to UPDATE or DELETE the same row more than once. This happens when a target row matches more than one source row. A MERGE statement cannot UPDATE/DELETE the same row of the target table multiple times. Refine the ON clause to ensure a target row matches at most one source row, or use the GROUP BY clause. – mechaman64 Jun 28 '12 at 10:47
I assume in the tblSecond table you can have multiple notes for a single record in tblMain? In other words, it may be possible to concatenate multiple records from tblSecond into a single tblMain record? – LittleBobbyTables Jun 28 '12 at 10:48
If there are two rows in Second that correspond to one row in Main, are you looking to concatenate both rows into Main? – Triple Gilaman Jun 28 '12 at 10:50

It will handle if subquery returns more than 1 value.
UPDATE tblmain
SET tblmain.notes = ( tblmain.notes
 + (SELECT DISTINCT notes +''
 FROM tblsecond
 WHERE tblsecond.id = tblmain.id
 FOR xml path ('')) )

This works perfectly - thanks! – mechaman64 Jun 28 '12 at 14:05
If the subquery returns more than 1 value, it means that tblSecond contains more than 1 entry for the corresponding ID. So I would suggest to first check your data.
The update itself can also be written using the from clause, something like this (untested)
update tblMain
 set Notes = a.Notes + b.Notes
 tblMain a
 inner join tblSecond b on a.Id = b.Id
share|improve this answer
tblMain will have the only last value that was concatenated to notes. – Romil Jun 28 '12 at 10:59

Exhibition recognises sugar's Pacific foundation
Updated June 19, 2013 17:21:27
Audio: Queensland Art Gallery curator of Pacific art Ruth McDougall talks about the 'Sugar' exhibition. (ABC Rural)
The earliest days of the sugar industry and its dependence on workers, willing and unwilling, from the Pacific are on show in Brisbane.
Postcards, photographs, music and recorded anecdotes have been pulled together to mark 150 years of Australian South Sea Islander contributions to Queensland.
Ruth McDougall is the Queensland Art Gallery's curator of Pacific art and says some of the postcards in the collection date from the 1870s.
"These were lithographs majorly produced for sending overseas to really promote Queensland as a destination for investors and sugar was a major part of that promotion exercise.
"And you see from those very early images that the South Sea Islanders are right in there, that they are part of the story of sugar from the beginning."
The workers came from islands in Melanesia, including Vanuatu and the Solomons, and from Polynesian and Micronesian islands such as Samoa, Tuvalu and Kiribati.
Ms McDougall says some were contracted to work in Australia but most, including young children, were kidnapped.
"The term that South Sea Islanders use is 'blackbirding'.
"Quite often they were enticed from the beach onto the ships and when they arrived they were adopted and worked as domestics or were taken out to cattle stations to work as well."
Frank Robert Boah, known as Bobby, from Mackay features in one of the recordings which forms part of the exhibition.
He's visited the village where his grandfather was born and heard how he was taken from a reef.
"The ones that were close to shore, they ran away up into the scrub or the forest.
"But me grandfather was too far out and they caught him.
"There's a lot of people don't know, they think we're Aboriginals because of course we're dark.
"But we've got a different history altogether."
Ms McDougall says after Federation in 1901, and the start of the White Australia Policy, all bar 1600 of the South Sea Islanders were deported.
The exhibition called 'Sugar' is running until October 7 in Brisbane.
Topics: sugar, history, immigration, brisbane-4000, pacific

Robust data collection essential for health system resilience
By Gilles Soulez
COVID-19 led to a significant drop in medical imaging examinations from March to June 2020. Patients have been adversely affected by the deferral of imaging procedures and lengthening wait lists. Solutions are needed to ensure a sustainable system so that Canadians can access quality, safe, appropriate care during and after the pandemic.
Patchy data undermines efforts to improve patient Access to Care
We cannot improve what we do not measure. There is a shortage of timely and comprehensive data to understand and track imaging volume and demand in Canada, within and across jurisdictions. The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reports on this information, but not all provinces and territories contribute and there is no established benchmark for medical imaging wait times. Not all provinces and territories have a centralized inventory of wait lists and there is no universal imaging priority classification system in place in Canada. Imaging wait times are not systematically reported according to a standardized national framework.
Furthermore, not all provinces are using the standardized medical imaging wait time benchmarks recommended by the CAR. Pan-Canadian medical imaging wait time benchmarks are necessary to create a national dashboard and methodology which can be used to support and promote equitable access to imaging based on medical need, regardless of geographic challenges.
The lack of data is a major hurdle to examining the true impact of the shutdown of services for the health of Canadians.
Our attempts to analyze wait time data are limited because data are not available for every province or jurisdiction and the provinces that do have wait time data utilize different benchmarks. Demand for imaging has consistently outpaced supply even with demand being relatively predictable. Prior to COVID-19, wait times for CT and MRI exceeded recognized standards in most provinces, particularly for patients assigned to non-urgent, non-critical priority levels.
The COVID-19 effect
Imaging volumes were significantly hindered by curtailing of care deemed non-urgent in the spring and early summer. We observed a late resurgence of imaging throughput in June, but the overall level remained below 80% of pre-COVID activities. The important drop in requisitions during the same period helped to maintain the gap between requisitions and examinations performed at a similar level to pre-COVID-19. However, we can observe a widening of this gap and anticipate an increasingly difficult situation when general referral patterns resume to pre-pandemic levels. We have new volume data indicating growing wait lists for non-urgent patients across modalities. Modalities with high throughput (ultrasound and CT) are more problematic, as there is a greater gap to overcome.
Obtaining a complete picture of exactly how many Canadians have been affected by the shutdown and postponement of necessary imaging services remains challenging, given the limitations of the available data.
When will we close the gap?
Despite a decreased demand for imaging services between March and June 2020, the number of Canadians with a health condition that necessitates getting a scan has not changed. This means demand will likely return to pre-COVID levels over time, and likely surpass pre-COVID demand to make up for the current decrease.
Putting our most optimistic assumption forward as to how quickly CT and MRI services can recover, the total difference between the expected provision of CT and MRI and what is missing accounts for approximately 1,440,000 CT and 612,000 MRI scans between March 2020 and December 2022. We do not know the full extent of the backlog for ultrasound services, but our data suggest a dire lack of ultrasound capacity.
These findings will not come as a surprise to most health professionals, however, the pandemic has certainly brought the deficiencies in the healthcare system into the spotlight. Consistently centering around the needs of the patient will naturally lead to the development of data-driven applications and platforms to streamline care pathways and the reasonable exchange of patient data in a jurisdiction-agnostic way. The silver lining of the pandemic may be the recognition of pinch points, barriers, and unnecessary hurdles in the system, and the subsequent building of political will to enact system-wide change.

General Buying Information
Vehicle Weight Averages for Certain Models
Bookmark and Share
If weight is a consideration in your new car purchase, then it's important to know the average vehicle weight of different models of vehicles. Here are the figures on what the average weight should be for some of the more common classes of cars:
 - Compact cars (Honda Civic) should weigh between 3,000 to 4,500 pounds.
 - Midsize cars (Ford Taurus) usually weigh between 4,500 pounds to 5,500 pounds.
 - Full size cars (Mercedes S Class) average between 5000 and 6000 pounds.
 - Minivans or Crossovers (Dodge Caravan) mostly fall between 5500 and 6500 pounds.
 - Light trucks and SUV's (Ford Explorer) between 5000 and 7000 pounds.
 - Full size pickups and SUV's (Toyota Tundra) can weigh between 7,500 to 12,000 pounds.
Remember these are just vehicle weights, not gross weight ratings. There is a difference between a vehicle weight and a gross weight rating. The vehicle weight is the car by itself. The gross weight rating is the car's weight plus the weight of whatever is in it: like fuel, passengers and cargo. Your car's weight can be an important thing to consider for one of a few reasons. Some neighborhoods have limited access to heavier vehicles for a variety of reasons, like road wear or the weight capacity of bridges in the area. Heavier vehicles may not be able to pass without damaging the road or causing danger to passengers. For people that access their homes or business using ferry boats, weight is also an important consideration. If your ferry charges vehicles by weight, just a few pounds may save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year.

Here are several videos to jump start your learning of the vowel sounds in both English and Spanish! Later this week I will send you some other cool teaching tips regarding this topic.
I am not certain in this first video if the little boy is enjoying teaching us the vowel sounds in the English language, but we all know that children really enjoy watching other children so here it goes:
This song just goes on and on and on with the English vowel sounds, but repetition is the key to learning. I know that children find it catchy and jump around like crazy when they hear it:
In Spanish you will find this video catchy, short, and cute to introduce the vowel sounds:
This children's video on YouTube is with Mickey teaching the Spanish vowel sounds! The quality of the sound is not so great, but I have not met a child who doesn't love learning with Mickey Mouse:

I want to produce a pdf that includes settings for a predefined profile, like the the printing on both side of a piece of paper, is that possible?
If a pdf does not provide this kind of feature, you some other file format that is able to?
share|improve this question
This sound like its unlikely to be possible. Different operating systems handle printing in very different ways, and it seems to me like an undesirable feature in any case so it unlikely to be implemented. – qubyte Nov 12 '11 at 2:31
this is true if you don't consider the fact that the reader of a certain filetype can decode and perform some tasks given by the file itself. If you open the same pdf with 2 times, the first time with Adobe Reader and the second time with another reader, you probably don't have the same features available even with the same file opened. – Micro Nov 12 '11 at 2:56
1 Answer 1
There is a (not well documented) key in hyperref.sty, called pdfduplex. It can take one of three values according to ISO PDF specificaiton, section 12.1: Simplex, DuplexFlipShortEdge and DuplexFlipLongEdge. Try this:
Other interesting keys are pdfprintarea, pdfprintclip, pdfprintscaling, pdfpicktraybypdfsize, pdfnumcopies; see this code from the package where these keys are defined:
 \do{2}{two copies}%
 \do{3}{three copies}%
 \do{4}{four copies}%
 \do{5}{five copies}%
Update (by -kp-)
Please note, that any of these embedded settings do not directly influence the print outcome at all, and they do give you control over the behavior of the print device. They only do influence 'the preset values used to populate the print dialog presented by a conforming reader' (as is spelled out somewhere in section 12.1 of the ISO spec for PDF-1.7).
It means that the PDF viewer popping up its print dialog should have the respective values pre-selected. As a user I could still select different values for the actual printing. Also, as a user I can usually set up my viewer application to 'ignore document presets'...
In other words, this (rather limited) functions will likely only work on Windows, and if you print the PDF using the print dialogs of Acrobat Pro (or Adobe Reader).

permissibility of stunning chicken
permissibility of stunning chicken
Aslamu Alikum i would like to find out the ruling or views on stunning of chicken before slaughtering. In my country it's certified as halaal and accepted by some of the scholars and dislike by other scholars Jazakallah await your response
In order for meat to be lawful for consumption it must be slaughtered in a particular way. One of the conditions for permissibility is that the animal must be alive at the time of slaughter. If it dies before slaughter then it will be unlawful for consumption. The issue of stunning chickens is a heavily debated topic. The main contention is whether or not the chicken dies between stunning and slaughter. Each halal certifying body has their own criteria. Some will permit stunning provided certain conditions are met such as the voltage being kept at a low rate to ensure the chicken doesn't die, whilst other certifying bodies will not permit stunning of any sort. Either way the fundamental point is whether or not the chicken dies before slaughter.
In addition to this, stunning is understood to cause the animal additional unnecessary pain and can also reduce the amount of blood flowing out of the animal. For these two reasons some scholars will deem stunned chicken as disliked even if it did not die before slaughter. This maybe the reason why some scholars in your country consider stunned chicken disliked.
As we are not fully aware of the industry practice in Guyana or the criteria adopted by the halal certifying bodies, it is difficult for us to indicate our preference. However, when it comes to eating Halal one should always exercise reasonable caution and abstain from doubtful food.
The above information is provided as a general guideline of the opinions and rules in relation to stunned chicken as requested.
You may find the following article helpful in building your understanding of stunning:

The Impact of Food Away From Home on Adult Diet Quality
by Jessica Todd
, Lisa Mancino
, and Biing-Hwan Lin
Economic Research Report No. (ERR-90) 24 pp, February 2010
Food away from home (FAFH) has been associated with poor diet quality in many studies. It is difficult, however, to measure the effect of FAFH on diet quality since many unobserved factors, such as food preferences and time constraints, influence not just our choice of where to eat but also the nutritional quality of what we eat. Using data from 1994-96 and 2003-04, this study applies fixed-effects estimation to control for such unobservable influences and finds that, for the average adult, FAFH increases daily caloric intake and reduces diet quality. The effects vary depending on which meals are consumed away from home. On average, breakfast away from home decreases the number of servings of whole grains and dairy consumed per 1,000 calories and increases the percent of calories from saturated and solid fat, alcohol, and added sugar (SoFAAS) in a day. Dinner away from home reduces the number of servings of vegetables consumed per 1,000 calories for the average adult. Breakfast and lunch away from home increase calories from saturated fat and SoFAAS on average more among dieters than among nondieters. Some of the overall negative dietary effects decreased between 1994-96 and 2003-04, including those on whole grain, sodium, and vegetable consumption.
