I went to Paris with my family when I was 15. And yes, the nutella crepes are delicious (I had mine with banane in it, too…mmmm).
Ah, I remember copy editing a publication with over a dozen contributing authors from many different countries that was all about modeling. Or modelling. It bothered me not to be consistent, so I went with modelling because the publication was for a European-based group that tended towards the British spelling.
Yay! Thanks! I had some with bananes too!
It's you crazy Americans, always changing the spelling on things!
It TOTALLY smells like pee!!


Going in and out of the lab runs the risk of contamination of the clean room. Dust and pollen from the hallway can be stopped from entering any controlled work environment by using proper entryway sealants and safeguards. However, there is always an imminent risk of contaminants being transferred from the floor outside. As clean as the floor may be, there is a chance that there are particulates stuck to the bottom of the shoes of the entrant coming into the clean room. These can be avoided through the use of a tacky mat.
Having a Tacky Mat is essential to keeping clean rooms spotless and dust free. No matter what was on the person's shoes when they left, it certainly will be picked up by the tacky mat. Tacky mats are easy to implement and can make a huge difference in keeping clean rooms contaminant-free.
Some mats are constructed with flimsy material that has a better chance of sticking to the foot of the operator than it does removing the dust from the soles of their footwear. Tacky mats are made up of multiple layers, to ensure their integrity remains intact over the course of multiple walkthroughs. Having multiple layers makes this mat durable, and long lasting.
The tacky mat is, of course, tacky, and is designed to remove contaminants from work shoes. This is accomplished using a polyethylene film coated in adhesive. The adhesive is not sticky enough to drag the mat along with the person entering the controlled area but strong enough to remove contaminants from shoes.
The adhesion doesn't stop at the top of the mat. The bottom of the mat also adheres to the floor. This adhesive coat is to ensure the bottom of the mat doesn't become contaminated with the things being brought into the uncontaminated area.
Once the tacky mat has been walked upon numerous times, it is very simple to replace. The tacky mat's adhesive layers have alternating color tabs to make it easier for the worker to peel away the old layer. The used layer does not affect the lamination of the next sheet. Removal is as simple as peeling away a layer and placing it in the waste bin.
If you are looking for a mat to cover the entire workspace, semi-permanent mats are available. These do not have a sheet that needs removing and can be placed in a large room. To keep them tacky, they must be washed on occasion. These are made of a tacky vinyl that is able to withstand carts and heavy foot traffic.
The tacky mat is a crucial element for any business that want to keep their clean workspace uncontaminated. With multiple colors to choose from, you have a choice of which mat you'd like to use for your cleanroom.

The capital may be set on banks of the Potomac, but it's never had a reputation as a great waterfront city. That could all be about to change, thanks to the $2.5 billion, 24-acre District Wharf, which opened in October just south of the National Mall. The shiny new InterContinental Washington D.C.-The Wharf offers access to the development's new parks, music venues, 50-plus shops, and 20 restaurants — which include projects from area chefs like Fabio Trabocchi, Mike Isabella, and wunderkind Kwame Onwuachi. This is also set to be a banner year for culture: the Freer and Sackler galleries, sister museums that champion Asian art, recently reopened after a 20-month renovation, the National Gallery of Art will host the first-ever show dedicated to Cézanne's portraits from March to July, and the Kennedy Center continues its inaugural season of hip-hop programming curated by Q-Tip. —Brooke Porter Katz
Carly loses custody of her son until the trial. Grace is due to die, so Trevor kidnaps her to save her life. Believing he is insane, she flees and is overwritten despite having avoided the accident that would have killed her. Grace and another newly arrived traveler, Ellis, are computer programmers who have fled an anti-Director faction in the future. Ellis has developed a code that is sought by this faction, and has returned to the 21st century to keep it from them. David and Marcy consummate their relationship. However, her condition worsens and Boyd stabilizes her, but Marcy is near death. In the future, Grace was in charge of social media research and identifying the candidates. She wants to correct Marcy's condition with an experimental overwrite. She offers to redirect Marcy's original transfer into the functional part of her brain, saving her at the cost of her 21st-century memories. MacLaren lets Marcy decide, and she decides to speak to David first. However, her condition becomes critical shortly before David returns home, and she is overwritten by her earlier self. Her team introduces her to David.
Three high-ranking Travelers are sent back by the Director to put Grace on trial for violating protocols, overwriting a person who was not assigned to be her host, and sabotaging the Grand Plan. Mac and the team must give testimony at the trial that will determine if she should be overwritten or not. Meanwhile, the Faction is trying to replenish its numbers by overwriting people with the stored minds in the Quantum Frame. It transpires the trial was staged by the Director to flush out a Faction member from within the three Travelers judging Grace, which it successfully does, this leading to Mac's team securing the Quantum Frame.

Cecil the lion death: US investigates Walter Palmer hunt
3	July 31, 2015 10:47 AM
via Cecil the lion death: US investigates Walter Palmer hunt – NewsDay Zimbabwe July 31, 2015
US officials have launched an investigation into the killing of a lion in Zimbabwe but say they have been unable to reach the American involved.
BBC Online
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) said it was "deeply concerned" about the "tragic" death of Cecil the lion.
Director Dan Ashe said they will "go where facts lead" but efforts to reach Walter Palmer have been unsuccessful.
Mr Palmer says he thought the hunt was legal but two Zimbabwean men have been arrested over the popular lion's death.
The dental practice he runs in Minneapolis has been closed since he was named as the tourist who shot Cecil, Zimbabwe's most famous lion.
Protesters gathered outside the building on Wednesday, carrying placards saying "Justice for Cecil", "Trophy hunters are cowards" and "Prosecute poachers".
On Thursday, the White House said it would review a public petition to extradite the American dentist after more than 100,000 signed it.
But spokesman Josh Earnest said it was up to the US justice department to respond to any extradition order.
Earlier, the FWS said: "We are currently gathering facts about the issue and will assist Zimbabwe officials in whatever manner requested."
"At this point in time, however, multiple efforts to contact Dr Walter Palmer have been unsuccessful," it said, saying Mr Palmer or his representative should contact them immediately.
"It is up to all of us – not just the people of Africa – to ensure that healthy, wild populations of animals continue to roam the savannah for generations to come," the statement said.
The whereabouts of Mr Palmer is currently unknown, but he is thought to have returned to the US after Cecil was killed on 1 July.
'Life-long hunter'
In a letter to his patients, the dentist said he would assist authorities in Zimbabwe or the US in their inquiries and apologised for the disruption to the clinic.
The American tourist is believed to have paid about $50,000 (£32,000) to go on the hunt in Zimbabwe.
Prosecutors in Zimbabwe have charged the hunter who supervised Mr Palmer's outing, Theo Bronkhorst, for killing a lion not authorised to be hunted. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison.
The country's safari organisation also said the way in which Cecil was lured out of a national park was unethical and possibly illegal.
A second suspect, farm owner Honest Ndlovu, was also arrested but is yet to be charged.
An international hunting organisation suspended the memberships of both Mr Palmer and Mr Bronkhorst on Thursday, saying it wanted a "full and thorough investigation" into the lion's death.
Safari Club International, which promotes big-game hunting worldwide, said "those who intentionally take wildlife illegally should be prosecuted and punished to the maximum extent allowed by law".
Cecil, who was a major tourist attraction at Zimbabwe's largest game reserve in Hwange National Park, was being monitored by UK-based Oxford University as part of a conservation programme.
The animal is believed to have died on 1 July, but the carcass was not discovered until a few days later. It had been skinned and beheaded.
Cecil's killing has attracted little media attention inside Africa. What little comment there was came in the form of derisive editorials in Zimbabwean state media.
"Not since Simba, of The Lion King fame, has a lion captured the world's imagination in this way," Alex Magaisa wrote in the Zimbabwean Herald newspaper. While tragic, the lion's death has not inflamed local passions because it is "far removed from the lived realities of most of the local people," he added, saying that tourism and hunting in Zimbabwe are "mired in elitism".
The writer said neither he nor his family had heard of Cecil the lion before it was killed.
Kennedy Mavhumashava struck a similar note in the Zimbabwe Chronicle and invoked the history of Western colonialism: "Many believe the lion was named after Cecil John Rhodes, the celebrated forerunner of British colonialism in Southern Africa, explaining the saturation coverage on the demise of his namesake."

Killer of Cecil the lion should be extradited, Zimbabwe says
Zimbabwe's walking sick
GBZ 4 years ago
This is the most ridiculous and rubbish I have ever heard! It has been blown totally out of proportion. It is being used by the green people to try prove a point.
This "famous Cecil" only became famous because he got shot! 99.9999% of Zimbabweans know nothing about this lion. "Cecil the lion" was out of the park and hunted on "PRIVATE LAND" by the authority of the land owner, and the only thing they can charge the hunter for is transfer of quota tag. I have heard that up to half the lion taken by hunters in Zim are collared with no problem,but one that is collared by Oxford students get shot and it is now an international incident and the hunter, client and landowner have to be crucified. Same callous fools who hailed the death of PH Ian Gibson as a victory for wildlife.
Chidumbu 4 years ago
Where are all these r soles when the game is being decimated by poachers with wire snares, death by wire snare is a slow painful death, typical bigoted Americans with f-all better to do than find the next little thing to make a mountain out of a mole hill, and reading all the reports he paid for it so he didn't shoot it for free, last time I look poachers don't pay to kill the game
ntaba 4 years ago
Seeing as we are talking about Matabeleland – perhaps we could ask the USA to extend their investigations into some other deaths in this Province. It is well documented that the Fifth Brigade of the Zimbabwe National Army killed about 20 000 people – not lions – in the Gukuruhundi in the early 80's. In case the CIA or the FBI are not up to speed – there was a man called Perence Shiri in charge of this Brigade whom was acting under the instructions of a man named Robert Gabriel Mugabe. Mr. Shiri is allegedly the commander of the Air Force in the country and Mr. Mugabe still allegedly the Commander of Chief of all Armed Forces.
The CIA and the FBI could possibly start at State House – if the murder of 20 000 civilians is of any concern to them in the context of the shooting of this lion.

The crash occurred on I-10 east at mile marker 106, just past Louisiana Avenue, according to Louisiana State Police.
Troopers said Glasco, who was 24 and lived in Arnaudville, and Kenneth McNeil, 45, of Houston, died at the scene.
"We are devastated by this news, and are focused on supporting Coach Glasco and Vickie, their family and our softball program," UL Director of Athletics Bryan Maggard said. "We all loved Geri Ann and the spirit she brought to the Ragin' Cajuns family while positively impacting our student-athletes. We are praying for the Glasco family during this remarkably difficult time."
Glasco came to UL to join her father as a volunteer assistant coach for the 2019 season, which is scheduled to begin Feb. 7.
After coach Glasco's first season at UL in 2018, he lost his entire coaching staff to a combination of leaving the coaching profession and accepting other positions.
One of the replacements was his daughter, who brought along impressive credentials as a player.

In 2012, Geri Ann Glasco was honored as the Gatorade National Player of the Year as a two-way performer after being named the Georgia Player of the Year. She was a four-time first-team All-State performer.
She went on to play at Georgia and Oregon and earned numerous all-region and national softball honors.
Geri Ann Glasco was also the 20th overall pick in the 2016 NPF professional softball league draft by the Akron Racers.
She began her coaching career as a student assistant at Oregon in 2017. She also has coached at Mt. Hood Community College and Sandy High School, before moving to work with her father at UL this past summer.
The softball world reacted to the tragic news on Twitter.
Penn State assistant coach and former Georgia softball player Alisa Goler Perrin said:
"My heart is broken. The Glasco family are some of the most genuine & kind-hearted people. No one deserves to ever go through this. Praying for anyone who's path crossed in some way/shape/form with Geri Ann and her family over the years. Heaven gained a special angel today."
Alabama's Staci Ramsey tweeted: "I am praying so hard for G and the Glasco family! I was fortunate enough to have worked a camp with G and her sister Tara at Georgia, amazing people...an incredibly smart athlete and kind young lady. The softball world lost a good one today."
The National Pro Fastpitch softball league, where Geri Ann played and her father was a coach, added: "The NPF extends its deepest condolences to @RaginCajunsSB & the family of Geri Ann Glasco, who was killed this morning in a car accident. The 20th overall pick in the 2016 NPF Draft, she was a tremendous influencer of the game of softball & will be dearly missed by our community."
From Miranda Kramer, a Syracuse assistant coach who played in the NPF, tweeted: "It is a sad day in the softball world. My thoughts and prayers go out to @GerryGlasco and the UL family. Geri Ann will be so deeply missed. I will definitely be holding my loved ones a little bit tighter today!"
The crash occurred just after 1 a.m., when an 18-wheeler traveling eastbound failed to slow down when it encountered traffic in a reduced-speed construction zone. The driver struck the rear end of a 2015 Dodge Ram pickup driven by McNeil. McNeil's vehicle then struck a 2017 Ford Escape driven by Glasco, whose car struck the rear of a second 18-wheeler.
It's not known at this time if impairment was a factor in the crash; however, standard toxicology tests are pending. The driver of the 18-wheeler submitted to a breathalyzer test, and no traces of alcohol were found.
The interstate reopened in that direction at around 9 a.m. Thursday.

Q: Scheduling A Job on AWS EC2 I have a website running on AWS EC2. I need to create a nightly job that generates a sitemap file and uploads the files to the various browsers. I'm looking for a utility on AWS that allows this functionality. I've considered the following:
1) Generate a request to the web server that triggers it to do this task

*

*I don't like this approach because it ties up a server thread and uses cpu cycles on the host

2) Create a cron job on the machine the web server is running on to execute this task

*

*Again, I don't like this approach because it takes cpu cycles away from the web server

3) Create another EC2 instance and set up a cron job to run the task

*

*This solves the web server resource issues, but why pay for an additional EC2 instance to run a job for <5 minutes? Waste of money!

Are there any other options? Is this a job for ElasticMapReduce?

A: Amazon has just released[1] new features for Elastic Beanstalk. You can now create a worker environment containing cron.yaml that configures scheduling tasks calling an URL with the CRON syntax: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features-managing-env-tiers.html#worker-periodictasks
[1] http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2015/02/17/aws-elastic-beanstalk-supports-environment-cloning-periodic-tasks-and-1-click-iam-role-creation/

A: Assuming you are running on a *nix version of EC2, I would suggest that you run it in cron using the nice command.
nice changes the priority of the job. You can make it a much lower priority, so if your webserver is busy, the cron job will have to wait for the CPU.
The higher the nice number, the lower the priority.
Nicenesses range from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable).

A: AWS DataPipeline
You can use AWS Data Pipeline to schedule a task with a given period. The action can be any command when you configure your Pipeline with the ShellCommandActivity.
You can even use your existing EC2 instance to run the command: Setup Task Runner on your EC2 instance and set the workerGroup field when setting the ShellCommandActivity (doc) on your DataPipeline:
{
 "pipelineId": "df-0937003356ZJEXAMPLE",
 "pipelineObjects": [
    {
      "id": "Schedule",
      "name": "Schedule",
      "fields": [
        { "key": "startDateTime", "stringValue": "2012-12-12T00:00:00" },
        { "key": "type", "stringValue": "Schedule" },
        { "key": "period", "stringValue": "1 hour" },
        { "key": "endDateTime", "stringValue": "2012-12-21T18:00:00"  }
       ]
     }, {
      "id": "DoSomething",
      "name": "DoSomething",
      "fields": [
        { "key": "type", "stringValue": "ShellCommandActivity" },
        { "key": "command", "stringValue": "echo hello" },
        { "key": "schedule", "refValue": "Schedule" },
        { "key": "workerGroup", "stringValue": "yourWorkerGroup" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Limits: Minimum scheduling interval is 15 minutes.
Pricing: About $1.00 per month.

A: If I were in your shoes, I'd probably start by trying to run the cron job on the web server each night at low tide and monitor the resource usage to make sure it doesn't interfere with the web server.
If you find that it doesn't play nicely, or you have high standards for the elegance of your architecture (I can admire that), then you'll probably need to run a separate instance.
I agree that it seems like a waste to run an instance 24 hours a day for a job you only need to run once a night.
Here's one aproach: The cron job on your primary machine (currently a web server) could fire up a new instance to run the task.  It could pass in a user-data script that gets run when the instance starts, and the instance could shut itself down when it completes the task (where instance-initiated-shutdown-behavior was set to "terminate").
Unfortunately, this misses your desire to enforce separation of concerns, it gets complicated when you start scaling to multiple web servers, and it requires your web server to be alive in order for the job to run.
A couple months ago, I came up with a different approach to run an instance on a cron schedule, relying entirely on existing AWS features and with no requirement to have other servers running.
The basic idea is to use Amazon's Auto Scaling with a recurring action that scales the group from "0" to "1" at a specific time each night.  The instance can terminate itself when the job is done, and the Auto Scaling can clean up much later to make sure it's terminated.
I've provided more details and a working example in this article:

Running EC2 Instances on a Recurring Schedule with Auto Scaling
http://alestic.com/2011/11/ec2-schedule-instance

A: You should consider CloudWatch Event and Lambda (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/RunLambdaSchedule.html). You only pay for the actual runs. I assume the workers maintained by Elastic beanstalk still cost some money even when they are idle.
Update: found this nice article (http://brianstempin.com/2016/02/29/replacing-the-cron-in-aws/)

A: If this task can be accomplished with one machine, i recommend booting up an instance programmatically using the fog gem written in ruby.
After you start an instance, you can run a command via ssh. Once completed you can shutdown with fog as well.
Amazon EMR is also a good solution if your task can be written in a map reduce manner. EMR will take care of starting/stopping instances. The elastic-mapreduce-ruby cli tool can help you automate it

A: You can use AWS Opswork to setup cron jobs for your application. For more information read their user guide on AWS OpsWork. I found a page explaining how to setup cron jobs: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/workingcookbook-extend-cron.html

'Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion' Board Game Review
by Matthew Smail
No Spoilers Here! Please note that Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a campaign-based experience that takes place over approximately 25 scenarios. This review includes photos of the first scenario and a few of the other components, but nothing beyond the first scenario. I've also kept my descriptions of gameplay beyond this first scenario to a minimum, except to describe some of the effects and gameplay features that are obviously referenced in the opening few hours of the game.
Even though it has been available for a few years now, I've personally never got as far as playing Isaac Childres' Gloomhaven. There's a simple reason for that; it's just too large and involved an experience for me to commit to, and with hundreds of items, tiles, cards and other components in the box, I doubt I could even get my head around sorting it and preparing it for that first play – even if I could get over the £100 plus price tag. Clearly, I am not alone in this, and to address these very points, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion was released earlier in 2021 – and I have finally taken the plunge.
Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a completely standalone adventure that centres on the titular "Jaws of the Lion" who are one of the most renowned mercenary companies in the fantasy world of Gloomhaven. Our adventure begins innocently enough, with our crew (featuring between two and four heroes from a set of unique and varied classes) returning home from an unsuccessful mission to find a missing blacksmith. Things soon go awry however, with the introductory scenario seeing us ambushed just as we are returning to the city. The scenario book hints that an attack by Vermlings this close to the city is particularly uncommon – could it be a sign of what's to come?
The first thing about Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion which I really love is how much care has been spent to ensure that players who might have been put off by the sheer weight of Gloomhaven will feel a lot more comfortable here. Before even beginning to play, a clear and concise sheet explains what to open and punch, how to bag it and where to put it within the box. This theme continues into the "Learn to Play" booklet, which not only explains some of the fundamental rules, but also walks players through the first few scenarios should they need it. Even the first map has a number of handy tooltips on it to enable setup and play.
This makes Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion super streamlined and helps new players focus on what is important – choosing their character from the four classes available. The original Gloomhaven was known for having a huge number of characters to choose from, but in Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion the selection is just four – all of whom will be in play if you choose to play a four-player game. Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion does support solo play, but in such a situation, the lone player will need to choose two characters. On offer here are the Hatchet, Demolitionist, Voidwarden and Red Guard – with ranged, melee, support and balanced play styles to choose from.
Whoever goes into battle to represent the Jaws of the Lion, the player will have interesting choices to make. Each character has a deck of cards that expands as the game goes on (and in particular as the characters gain experience.) At the beginning of each fight, the player has access to their entire deck, and on their turn, will choose two cards to play face down (with the bottom one being used to set their initiative value for the upcoming turn.) The players will then flip their cards simultaneously, compare initiatives among themselves and against enemies, and set turn order. On their actual turn, they will then play the top half ability from one of their cards, then the bottom half ability from the other.
This is as simple and intuitive as it sounds, and whilst it is not infinitely flexible, it allows for some scope to change your plans depending on where you fall in the initiative order. When a player uses their card to attack (either ranged or melee) or when a monster attacks, a modifier card will be drawn – this may add or subtract value from the strength of the attack, or it may cancel it altogether. Some situations can create an advantage or a disadvantage, where the player will draw two cards and choose either the better (advantage) or worse (disadvantage) and this system just works so well. Rather than a completely random (dice roll) or deterministic (fixed value) attack, the players get agency from choosing their cards and then using them accordingly, with the slight variation of the modifier – and it is in their advantage to create, erm, an advantage or to avoid a disadvantage.
As the scenarios unfold, new elements like additional cards or items that apply further modifiers (such as mitigating the first damage, or adding one damage to an attack) will be revealed and whilst these add complexity, by the time a player sees them, they will be so confident with Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion that it simply will not be a problem to accommodate. Without spoiling anything, it's not as though Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion gets the opening hours just right but then tails off – oh no, this is a game that gets stronger and stronger as it goes on, with a tale that is worthy of inclusion in any top-tier RPG.
With 25 scenarios to fight through, you might be expecting that missions might get a little repetitive – yet somehow, they don't. Whilst continuing to avoid spoilers, I'll just say that some of the missions introduce surprising new elements that flip your perception of what a dungeon-crawler should be like. There are also some really good, tense fights, and because the character classes in Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion are so unique, they will really surprise you. I didn't mention this earlier, but each time you refresh your deck (after using all cards) you'll have to leave one behind. Cards also double as health and you can discard rather than taking hits – but you won't want to, because your cards are powerful.
This combination of unique classes, unexpected missions, tough fights and unique health/deck management combines in some cool ways. Firstly, everyone at the table will likely have abilities that only they understand – so there's no quarterbacking here. Discussions about "taking the hit so that I can then use this card" or "risk discarding to stay in the fight and to then do this…." are frequent, and the game is tough enough that no one can expect to cruise along. You won't have to play every card perfectly, but you will need to think about what you're doing, communicate (within the boundaries the rules allows) and execute to an efficient standard. One thing I can say; you do not lose to bad luck in Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion.
So is there anything this game does badly? Well, I wish there were, perhaps, six classes to choose from to add a little bit of unknown variability and replay value. And some might say that even 25 scenarios is too much to commit to for the average player (and it is perhaps ten or fifteen more than most dungeon crawlers.) But other than that, it's hard to criticise Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion and I'd hardly say that second point is criticism. There's a lot of content in this box, and at this price point, with such a well-crafted tutorial and ongoing experience, this could easily become your prime dungeon-crawler for the next six to twelve months – if not longer. When – or if – you've completed it, well there's always Gloomhaven to jump into, and next year, the sequel Frosthaven should land. If nothing else, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a superb introduction to a near-flawless dungeon crawling system.

Iron Allotropy: Allotropy is the property of a material to exist in different forms in the same, stable physical state. This property is widely attributed towards Diamond or graphite but Iron is also one of the finest examples of metals that show such a behavior. Iron is known to exist in three different forms at atmospheric pressure. These are Alpha Ferrite, Gamma Iron or Austenite and Delta Iron.
What separates these forms of Iron is the temperatures at which they are stable and the structure of the crystal lattice of Iron at these conditions. These factors play a major role in the solubility of Carbon in Iron and thus is vital to know when making different kinds of steel.
What is Alpha Ferrite: Alpha Ferrite is the phase which exists below temperatures of 912 degree Celcius for low concentrations of Carbon in Iron. Alpha Ferrite can only dissolve up to 0.02 percent of Carbon at 727 degree Celcius. This is because of the configuration of the iron lattice which forms a BCC crystal structure.
BCC stands for Body Centred Cubic structure in which there is an iron atom present in the center of a unit cell and at each corner of the cell. This configuration does not provide many interstitial spaces for Carbon atoms to fill so the solubility is low.
Properties of Alpha Ferrite: Alpha Ferrite is the stable form of Iron at room temperature. It is soft and ferromagnetic at temperatures below 727 degrees and paramagnetic between 727and 912 degrees. Alpha ferrite is a large component of mild steel but is present in all Iron carbon compounds that have been cooled to room temperature, co existing with other forms such as Cementite.

Q: Android Firebase Authentication - How to Link Existing User Account to Anonymous Account I am having some trouble understanding how to link an existing email account to an anonymous firebase account. is this possible ? or does it only link if the email account is new ?
when i call the following code to link accounts both the anonymous account and existing account exist. but if its a new email account then i see that the new email account as the same uid as the anonymous account and the anonymous account is gone.
mAuth.getCurrentUser().linkWithCredential(credential)
        .addOnCompleteListener(this, new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {
            @Override
            public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
                if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                    Log.d(TAG, "linkWithCredential:success");
                    FirebaseUser user = task.getResult().getUser();
                    updateUI(user);
                } else {
                    Log.w(TAG, "linkWithCredential:failure", task.getException());
                    Toast.makeText(AnonymousAuthActivity.this, "Authentication failed.",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    updateUI(null);
                }

                // ...
            }
        });

so my question is:  am i able to link anonymous user account to EXISTING user account ? because then my firebase console is going to be filled with anonymous user entries.
UPDATE:  Using the firebase mergService here how can i delete the anonymous account ? i dont see it returning a credential for me to delete.
the mergeService describe looks like this:
public class MyManualMergeService extends ManualMergeService {
private Iterable<DataSnapshot> mChatKeys;

@Override
public Task<Void> onLoadData() {
    final TaskCompletionSource<Void> loadTask = new TaskCompletionSource<>();
    FirebaseDatabase.getInstance()
            .getReference()
            .child("chatIndices")
            .child(FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid())
            .addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
                @Override
                public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot) {
                    mChatKeys = snapshot.getChildren();
                    loadTask.setResult(null);
                }

                @Override
                public void onCancelled(DatabaseError error) {
                    FirebaseCrash.report(error.toException());
                }
            });
    return loadTask.getTask();
}

@Override
public Task<Void> onTransferData(IdpResponse response) {
    String uid = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid();
    DatabaseReference chatIndices = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance()
            .getReference()
            .child("chatIndices")
            .child(uid);
    for (DataSnapshot snapshot : mChatKeys) {
        chatIndices.child(snapshot.getKey()).setValue(true);
        DatabaseReference chat = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance()
                .getReference()
                .child("chats")
                .child(snapshot.getKey());
        chat.child("uid").setValue(uid);
        chat.child("name").setValue("User " + uid.substring(0, 6));
    }
    return null;
}

}
this gets called after user transitions from anonymous user to a real account. how can i then know the credential so i can delete the anonymous account ?

A: You can't link an existing credential to anonymous user.
You have to basically copy the data of the anonymous user to the existing credential user and then delete the anonymous user.
It is not possible for Firebase to handle this for you. You have 2 users with different uids and data saved on each users, not to mention different profile data on each. Firebase doesn't know which user to keep and how to merge the profile/data. In some cases, data could be saved outside of Firebase services.
FirebaseUI is currently doing a similar mechanism for upgrading anonymous users on sign in. If the credential is new, then linking will succeed without any additional action. If the credential already exists, linking will fail and the developer is expected to handle the merge conflict, copy the data from the non anonymous user and delete the anonymous user after.
This is the web flow in FirebaseUI-web: https://github.com/firebase/firebaseui-web#upgrading-anonymous-users
This is being implemented for FirebaseUI-android:
https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-Android/pull/1185
Here is an example with web, given an authCredential and an anonymous user signed in.
Here is a simple web example how to handle merge conflicts.
let data;
// Default App with anonymous user.
const app = firebase.app();
// Anonymous user.
anonymousUser = app.auth().currentUser;
// Get anonymous user data.
app.database().ref('users/' + app.auth().currentUser.uid)
  .once('value')
  .then(snapshot => {
    // Store anonymous user data.
    data = snapshot.val();
    // Sign in credential user.
    return app.auth().signInWithCredential(authCredential);
  })
  .then(user => {
    // Save the anonymous user's data to the credential user.
    return app.database().ref('users/' + user.uid).set(data);
  })
  .then(() => {
    // Delete anonymnous user.
    return anonymousUser.delete();
  })
})


Home » Health » Just Put Salt-Sugar Mixture Under Your Tongue Before You Go To Sleep And What Happens Is Amazing!
Probably the most annoying thing it is to turn all night, staring at the ceiling, think about your life and not be able to sleep all night. Insomnia is very bad, because if you do not get enough sleep, you will not be able to perform their daily tasks. he was not focused on anything and not have the energy.
Besides these problems, certain medications can also cause insomnia, such as :. heart medications, analgesics, antihistamines, blood pressure medications and many others. Some of them will make you drowsy at first, but can also cause stomach problems and as a result will have to go to the bathroom a lot and disrupt sleep even more.
And, we can easily say that we can not do anything right without adequate sleep good night. When we sleep, we recharge the batteries.
As mentioned above, sleep is very important for our overall health. It is important for our body, our brain and all vital functions in our body. In order to be more productive, the human body needs at least 8 hours of sleep, which is the time required to completely refuel and recharge itself throughout the body.
people around the world believe that caffeine will help if you do not get enough sleep, but that's not true because caffeine can only provide impetus temporary short energy and once the effects are more, you will feel even worse than before! As you can see, you discontinue the use of coffee and energy drinks are loaded with caffeine in order to help you throughout the day. Instead, you use the following resource to help you sleep like a baby at night.
Another important thing is to avoid watching television and working on the computer at least 1 hour before bedtime. The reason why you should avoid these things is because when we watch TV or when we work on our computer, our brain is on high alert and when we're done with it, our body needs some time to calm the brain before falling asleep.

My husband was laughing at me about my giddy excitement (it's the little things that make me happy).
I told you, right?! So MANY activities! Any nature lovers out there? This is definitely your spot in Orlando.
Tot Lot! Perfect park size for Johnny.
Someone thinks he's a "big kid". Always playing in the mulch!
I spoke with a wonderful lady who tends to the farm animals and she shared with me that this farm is actually a shelter for animals that could no longer be cared for. It's NOT a petting farm, but you could just tell in the animals eyes that they enjoyed people visiting them. They came right to you. It's a viewing farm only.
So many horses! They really liked following Johnny.
Probably our favorite part…an outside xylophone! Have you ever seen one?!

Gestalt Therapy Case Studies Blog
Clinical examples of Gestalt theory, applied in practice. ...with Steve Vinay Gunther
Case #205 - Hands around her neck
Rosa was a recovering addict. I asked her what part of her body she associated with the addiction (alcohol). She said her throat. I asked the feeling - she said, like bands, choking her.
I asked her to show me, with her fingers. She did so.
This is important in Gestalt - to focus awareness, we say sharpen awareness, both for the client, and also for me to be more in touch with their experience in detail.
I then suggested an experiment - I would move my hands slowly towards Rosa's throat, and would stop whenever she said to.
The Gestalt experiment is a combination of safety (I would stop, she was in control) and risk (the experience of choking). Its also a way to move away from what we call 'retroflection', which is something that you do to yourself - the energy is all internal. This way, I could take over that aspect, to allow her to experience it in a different way. It also creates a relational experiment.
So I did this, and she told me to stop when I was 3cm away from her throat.
I asked to feel, breate, stay present. This is important, or else the person can dissociate, and then the awareness experiment has no value - there is too much risk.
I then pulled back. I asked what she was feeling - she said 'one of the ropes has snapped'.
I then noticed 2 marks on her neck, and asked her about them. She told me they were 'from childhood', and she started crying. I did not enquire more- we could go into the story another time. In the present it was more important to stay with the experience.
So I moved my hands closer, and this time she asked me to stop at 2cm away. Again, I asked her to breath, feel, stay present.
I stepped back
I now asked her to make a sound - she found it hard to so so. I asked her to breath out, and let whatever sound could come out.
I then moved closer again, and this time she let me put my hands around her neck. I asked her to make a sound. I could feel a small vibration in her throat. She was trying. She felt warmth in her neck and told me the ropes were gone.
She said it was hard for her to stay present, and she felt embarassed.
This means we had reached her exposure limit. So I invited her to put her hands around my neck. This exposed me, and allowed her to take over that energy.
She said she felt more steady and comfortable, and more present with me.
She then stepped back. There was a very strong connection between us, and she felt safe, and warm.
This was an important transformative experience for her. Some of the energy which drove her addiction was confronted, head on, and then she could experience it, in the safety of the experiment, and the relationship. This relationshiop between us became very strong through the experience, and lay the ground for excellent therapeutic work in the future. There was a high degree of trust, and this is an essential ingredient in successful therapy.
Case #204 - In the best interests of the child
Fay had reached the end of her marriage. She had tried really hard to make it work. They had been so much in love at the start. Together now for 5 years, they had a 3 year old son. She was a competent professional; he had been the house husband. This worked very well for both of them. But the interpersonal dynamics had not worked. Her increasing confidence in the world was matched by his collapse. He did not contribute financially; and although he was caring for their child, she wanted him to be moving ahead towards a career, so she did not ultimately have to carry all the financial weight. He promised, but did nothing. She felt like she was the man in the relationship. He felt disempowered.
Part of the issue here was not an interpersonal one.
Thus, in the therapy, I pointed out that there was a social context - ideas about how men and women should be, that were influencing both of them in ways which were disruptive in their relationship. Rather than being able to be with each other as they were, they compared each other to an ideal of what a man or woman is 'supposed' to be - women, soft and caring/ men confident and successful.
Fay's response to challenges was to become more competent, to apply her intelligence, and figure out soltions. Her husbands response was to become timid, to make promises, and to pull back into himself.
This cycle had eventually undermined their marriage.
Now, at this time of separation, they had come to an agreement about parenting.
Fay, who had not done much of the daily care of her child, took custody (a traditional response in the culture in which she lived). She applied her intelligence and competence, and soon started feeling more confident about being able to care for their child as the main person, despite the fact she worked at a demanding job.
Her soon-to-be-x husband was relegated to seeing the child for no longer than a day a week, but he could come and bring him to school, or take the child when Fay had a business trip.
Gestalt is oriented towards finding the right balance of challenge and support. 'As much support as necessary and as little as possible' was Laura Perls' dictum.
This is the growth edge, and what we strive for in the Gestalt experiment.
In this case, I spent a whole session challenging Fay.
Firstly, she was operating from an assumption that she could set the frame on the discussions with her husband. She set up the paramaters for the childcare, and then gave him choices within that. He acquiesced.
She argued with me that she was acting in the best interests of their child -giving him a stable environment, the least disruption during the separation.
I pointed out to her that this was a conflict of interests. She was setting things up as she wanted them, and the lines between what the child needed and what she wanted were blurred.
She also took over entirely the child care, virtually pushing her husband to a peripheral role in the picture, where he had been the main carer. She had many rationales for doing so, but what was masked was her own need to be in control.
I also pointed out to her that as I listened to her talk about all this, I heard her brusque, business-like voice. I heard strength and resolve. Whilst those were good qualities, and understandable in terms of her marshalling herself to the care of her child, they were also the very things which had contributed to the breakdown of the marriage - her taking over, and not really giving space to her husband, on his own terms.
Thus, although they were separating, she was continuing that pattern. I pointed out that she had another two decades of co-parenting with him. And if she simply continued the same pattern they had in their marraige, it would be equally dysfunctional. In that sense, nothing would have changed except they were not living together, and she had taken over charge of child rearing.
This was all very challenging to her, and somewhat of a shock. She was coping as best she could in an uncertain situation, and this is how she knew best to do so. I acknowledged that, and also pointed her to the bigger picture -the next 20 years of coparenting, and how that might go.
This placed the larger content of the field into our discussion, not just focusing on here and now awareness. The future of the field is as important as the past of the field. And in both cases, we bring that into the present interaction.
I highlighted that there were many other choices available to her, other than either relinquishing control over child rearing to her husband, or taking it over entirely herself. And that each choice she made, had consequences. In Gestalt we respect choices, bring them into awareness, and direct people towards taking responsiblity for the consequences - all of them.
Fay realised that she was using the child as a way to hurt the husband - a common reaction. This insight was particularly important, as it clarifies the dynamic underlying all the rational reasons.
The session was very confronting for her. But she was up for it. And I, in good faith, could not just give her empathy in a place where I thought her actions were unconscious and potentially destructive in the long run.
Such confrontation needs to be done very sensitively, maintaining connection with the person. And it requires strength and clarity on the part of the therapist. And then the next session needed to be about support - going into depth about Fay's creative adjustment - her way of being in the world, in terms of needing to always be in control
Case #203 - Trying to please and impress
Renee was very frank. She said that her underlying motivation was to impress the group, and, to please me as teacher.
I was also frank to her - I said 'I dont need you to please or impress me; and, there's a part of me which would like you to please me.'
Gestalt invites us to be honest about our underlying motivations, our selfish or aggressive impulses, and to recognise and own our contradictions. Its especially important as therapist not to be too 'good', too understanding too perfect.
I asked Renee what she was feeling - tense in the stomach.
Straight away, she recalled a memory from when she was 5 years old.
She described being put through an IQ test. There were two containers, and she had to pick the right answer. She was a very smart kid. But it took her 40 minutes, sweating it, and she still hadnt worked out the answer.
Then a boy came in, sweating from the playground; a boy who was not the smartest in the class. He was able to choose, straight away, the correct answer.
Renee felt stupid at the time. She wanted to impress every one. And everyone expected her to do well, they were watching her.
This was clearly an incident that contained shame, trauma, and a mix of strong expectations, at the same time as a failure to meet those expectations.
I asked Renee what she felt in the present. This is a common form of shuttling awareness in Gestalt - if we go to the Field - a contextual experience, then we bring it back into the present.
She said she felt cold - an understandable reaction to that experience.
I told her that I wanted to give her some warmth - a novel experience in the place where she was used to contracting into herself, and a restorative experience in terms of what she probably needed at the time.
She agreed, so I sat next to her, put my hand on her back, and invited her to breathe, and take in the support.
Renee reported that she felt relaxed after a while.
But she said her hands were still feeling cold. So, with her permission, I sat in front of her and held her hands.
Straight away she recalled some experiences with her first boyfriend, where he had commented on her sweaty hands. I reassured her that I was ok with her hands in any condition.
Her hands warmed up, and she reported feeling more relaxed.
She had her eyes shut. I invited her to open her eyes, look at me, and try the sentence 'I am enough, just for myself'. I asked her to breathe deeply, and repeat the sentence, or change it.
We often give a suggested sentence to a client, for them to try. In Hakomi this is called a 'probe'. It allows them to 'try out' a new idea, with the flexibility to change it, and with checking in as to how it feels. This prevents it simply being an imposition from the therapist.
Renee reported feeling good saying it.
She then reported feeling tense in her hips. So then, with permission, I put a hand on the side of one hip. She then relaxed after a while. I invited her to repeat that sentence.
Renee started crayig, deeply, and said she felt her chest opening up.
This indicated that she was able to feel the deeper feelings from that particular incident, without tensing up, or pushing anything away.
After some time, Renee was completly relaxed. She looked at one of the women in the group, made a comment, and they both laughed.
This represented a full circle - she was able to be herself, in the group, without having to impress or please, but simply be herself.
Case #202 - Integrating warmth and cold
I invited Sandy to notice her present awareness.
I declared my own awareness - firstly of her - my experience of her warmth, her smile, and then at the same time, her tears, and at the same time, some tension she had mentioned feeling.
I also offered my own awareness of myself - feeling touched by her openess, and my feeling of peacefulness, openess, and being happy and connected.
In Gestalt, its not just about starting with the client's awareness, like an interrogation - its equally valuable to start with one's own experience as therapist - it opens up the way for the client to feel comfortable to share themselves.
So then I asked her what her current experience was.
Sandy said she felt fear…and then some terror.
I asked how those feelings may be connected to me. In Gestalt we want to take generalised experiences, bring them into the here and how, I and thou. This enables us to focus awareness, and work with it directly, and immediately.
Sandy said she was afraid of my coldness, she wanted to see me smile.
I acknowledged the validity of her perception: I said, 'yes, you see my coldness, and its truly, I do have some within me'.
Its important to recognise the grain of truth in what the client sees.
Sandy talked about her feeling of a 'cold wind'. So asked her to personify that, and 'be the cold wind'.
At the same time, I drew her attention to the fact that outside of the room, there was in fact a strong wind blowing - we could hear it! This was the perfect setting for what was happening in the room. This utilises 'outer zone' awareness - sensory awareness, of the environment.
Sandy said she wanted to feel the warmth again, to see my smile.
Her hands were raised when she said this. So I offered to reach out, and touch her hands - offering her contact, but not smiling 'for her'.
She said her hands felt numb. This indicated that as much as she wanted contact, she was not fully available for it.
I asked her to tell me about being cold.
She said her father was warm and understanding, but her mother was cold, and still is, even 50 years later.
I suggested that she try a new experience, with her mother.
I invited her to imagine I was her mother; I reached out to touch her hands again, and we moved our hands together. I checked her experience as we did this. She went from feeilng warm, to cold, and back and forth.
Finally the warm feelings stayed steady.
There was a great sense of connection between us.
We hugged - the natural culmination for both of us to this experience.
I said 'I embrace both coldness and warmth, in you as well as me'.
In making this statement I wanted to underline the integration of the elements that had previously been polarised - coldness and warmth. At this point, it was not simply an interpretation, or insight I was offering her. It was an echo of the integration that she now felt in her body.

Q: How to get WPF usercontrol designheight and designwidth at run time I need to access a WPF usercontrol's designheight and designwidth at runtime.  I know this is impossible, so I'll explain why I want to do it, and hopefully someone can provide an example of the right approach.
From a C# winforms app, I open a new window containing a very large WPF usercontrol.  If the monitor I'm running on can handle it, I want it to open the window at the full design size of the usercontrol.  If the monitor I'm running on can't handle it, then I want to open the window as large as possible, leaving 1 pixel on each side of the screen.  So I need to know the usercontrol's current design width and height before the usercontrol is displayed.
I want to avoid hard coding values in the winforms app, or using unbound public properties in the user control, because then I have to trust other developers to update them when they change the user control. I don't know if it's possible to bind a local variable to designheight or designwidth, or how to code that in XAML.  Since I don't know a lot of WPF, there may be some other way to reach the goal that I don't know about.
Thanks for your help and advice.

A: Why don't you try something like Resize WPF Window and contents depening on screen resolution
The answer suggests that you bind the screen size to the window height and width. It will automatically size the window according to screen size. You can even set a % value for the size of the window.


Is puzzling Poonam doing the right thing?
Poonam Kaur Lal, who is suspected by many to be targeting Trivikram Srinivas without naming him in her oblique tweets, put out a sensational tweet on Thursday night.
"This director extends his support through his 4 families to this so-called NRI heroine. He has had a tendency to fall for this particular slang for years. I did not have a hit and neither does she. Good at quite a few jobs you give," she said. "Jalsalu choopistu agnyathavaasam lo yesestadu ...Jaggeratha," she tweeted, describing the director in question as a traitor ('nammaka drohi').
With her tweets, Poonam is tempting many to write about her. But will this approach help her in the long run? If she wants to expose someone, shouldn't she do it constructively?

Q: Disable Group by in Downloads folder only (Windows 11 22H2) With the latest Windows 11 update (22H2) they decided to group files by last modify date in the Downloads folder, no matter if you disable it by right-clicking>Group by>(None), when creating a new folder it will be always affected by file grouping and there's no option to disable it in the folder properties.
The only thing I can find online is click the three horizontal dots>Options>View>Apply to Folders, but when clicking on the 'Apply to Folders' button it asks you to confirm or cancel your choice, dispalying this message below:
Do you want all folders of this type to match this folder's view settings?
So by confirming, it sets those view options to all folders, not just to the Downloads folder and its sub-folders.
Please help me, since I can find only that fix online, but actually it's not what I need, because I don't want to mess up with all other folders.
