It's easy to get overwhelmed by the thought of what to make your kids for lunch, what with allergies and kids who refuse sandwiches for reasons that can only be identified as "to make mommy cry", as well as making sure the snacks you pack provide kids the fuel they need to get through the day.
Aviva Allen, kids' nutritionist, advises giving kids snacks—every two to three hours—that fuel their bodies and brains.
So before you stock up on fig bars and baby carrots and call it a day, try one of these six delicious and nutritious protein-rich options to set your kids up for snacktime success.
Loaded with protein and a source of healthy fatty acids, cottage cheese is a mild- tasting snack that packs a nutritional punch. Available plain or flavoured in snack-size packs, or from the tub into your own small container topped with anything from fruit to sprinkles (if you have to!), cottage cheese is a great choice.
This delicious, crunchy and satisfying snack is the perfect substitute for salty snacks like chips. High in fibre and protein with a low glycemix index, they're healthy and can keep you feeling full without having to consume too many.
Make your own at home—you'll find hundreds of recipes online, like this easy one from chef Jaden Hair at Steamy Kitchen (it may take a bit of trial and error to get the right crispiness), or save yourself some time and pick up a bag from The Good Bean on Well.ca or at Costco.
These are guaranteed to be a new family favourite and are just as great on their own as they are as a crunchy salad topper or in a homemade trail mix.
Making your own granola bars or power balls is a great way to pack protein and nutrients into a delicious snack. You can find school-safe recipes using SunButter or WowButter instead of nut butters, which still offer a source of protein.
Check out the recipes for Breakfast Balls and Hangry Muffins (with protein-rich hemp hearts) from Toronto-based bloggers and nutrition consultants Plant Trainers for two great homemade options.
A hard-boiled egg is the perfect snack for little hands and is loaded with good fats and protein, as well as a wide range of vitamins and minerals. Just boil up a bunch at the beginning of the week and toss them into lunches quickly and easily.
Tofu is naturally gluten-free and low calorie, contains no cholesterol and is an excellent source of protein, iron, and calcium. It's also really versatile and can be used for everything from puddings to savoury roasted goodness.
Make your own in bite size cubes or fry-like sticks or pick up a package of PC Blue Menu Teriyaki Marinated Tofu, cube it and roast it for a savoury-sweet snack the whole family will love.
We're not suggesting that you skip dessert. And we certainly don't want to be blamed for the mutiny that would ensue at home if there were no treats in the lunch bags.
If your kids look forward to their sweet snack, try baking these Black Bean Brownies from Chocolate Covered Katie. Tried and tested, these really do taste delicious. Plus, black beans are very high in fiber and protein, and rich with vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, calcium, iron, manganese, and more!

Stevie Nicks Dedicates Everything beyond 1985 to Betty Ford
After news broke last Friday that former First Lady Betty Ford had died, one of the first statements CNN received was from Stevie Nicks. The legendary Fleetwood Mac singer sent just one succinct sentence: "As far as I'm concerned, Betty Ford saved my life."
An hour or so later, she followed it up with a phone call - made as she was driving to a Vanessa Carlton concert from her home in Malibu. She was talking on a borrowed phone, since she doesn't own one herself.
Here are excerpts from that 10 minute phone conversation:
"As far as I'm concerned, Betty Ford DID save my life. I went to Betty Ford [The Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California] at the end of 1985 for cocaine addiction. In those days, she would actually come to speak at Betty Ford two or three times a month, so I got to hear her tell the whole story on just the pressure of being in politics, being married to a famous politician and getting addicted to whatever it was she was addicted to.
I thought, 'God, if Betty Ford can come through this, I can come through it, too.' Talk about being famous and being in rehab! 'Oh no, I can't do that, I'm too famous' - well, come on! She was the First Lady of the United States. So that really, really made my need to fix myself even stronger."
"A couple of years ago, I went to Betty Ford to speak and she was there. And I actually got to kind of get down on one knee and talk to her for about five minutes, and she was very, very fragile. And I just looked up at her and I said, 'You've got all these children here for you, and had it not been for you, so many of us would not have gotten well.'
Anyway, she was so lovely, and I don't think she really realized the impact she had on so many lives. Sometimes I don't think truly great people people realize how great they are - and I told her that night. I said, 'If it were not for you, Betty Ford, I would be dead. Absolutely. So all the songs that I have written since I was here, I dedicate to you. All the songs, and all the poems, and the shows and all the amazing things I got to do between 1985 and now is because of you.'"
"Betty Ford was not easy. I call it Betty Ford Boot Camp. And it was not an easy four weeks to go through, and nobody gets any special treatment there. It's hard, but it's kind of brilliant in its hardness. It's kind of what I image it's like to be in the army. There's four dorms, and there's 20 people in each dorm, and everybody has their chores, and everybody keeps that building clean and beautiful, and does dishes, makes coffee, vacuums the carpet - and she just insisted on it. The outside, the grass, the duck pond - that's her facility, and you'd better take care of it.
And it was tough. But two weeks in, you start to think, 'Oh my God, I'm getting better' - because when you first get to Betty Ford, that's basically what they tell you, is that you're dying. And that's not an easy thing to hear."
"I think her family will carry it on, because it's their legacy now. And if I were her children, I would be so proud of her."
"So God bless her, and I hope she's up there with Gerald Ford, looking down on all of us. Her facility is good, and it's working, and it was time for her to go. She was fragile."
"I'll miss her. I didn't know her, but I did get to spend a few minutes with her, and I did get to watch her speak two or three times, so I'm glad that I was able to do that."

Experience, strength, and hope from two great ladies.
Amazing the chain. Stevie saved my life with her lyrics as I was overdosing. Thanks to Stevie for saving me, and to Betty for saving her. I'm sure countless people owe their lives to both amazing women!

A vesting order be issued directing the commissioner for Land Registration to transfer the suit property comprised in Kyadondo Block 244 Plot 5984 land at Kisugu into the names of the applicants.
The applicants presented the application as the administrators of the estate of the late Hon. Justice Ignatius Mukanza, (hereinafter referred to as the deceased) who it is claimed fully purchased the suit property and took possession of it but was unable to complete the transfer process before of his demise. That the applicants themselves could not conclude the process because the registered proprietor cannot be traced. The application was supported by the affidavit of Robert Mukanza, the first applicant. The respondent did not respond to the application and did not appear when served at the hearing of 17/2/16. I allowed ex-parte proceedings against her on the same date.
The main issue therefore is whether the applicants are in the circumstances entitled to a vesting order with respect to the suit land. As directed, counsel for the applicants filed written submissions whose contents are appreciated in this ruling.
A plain reading of section 167 RTA indicates that the powers therein are a preserve of the Registrar of Titles. The short title to that section is indicative enough. However, it has been shown that the applicant's request for a vesting order from the Commissioner of Land Registration made on 30/6/15 was not honoured, with the advice that they instead seek an order from this court. That advice would accordingly justify the filing of this application. Even so, I do find merit in the decision by my brother Judge Bashaija A in Ronald Aine Vs Commissioner for Land Registration in HC Misc. Cause No. 90/2013 that the High Court has jurisdiction to entertain this type of application under Section 98 CPA, Section 167 RTA only demonstrating the conditions required to grant a vesting order. I will accordingly entertain the application.
In his affidavit in support of the application, Robert Mukanza states that the deceased purchased the suit land from one Lukwago George and paid the full purchase price and did receive the duplicate certificate of title and took possession. That the applicants as the deceased's successors in title, remain in possession and have to date placed a paying tenant into the premises on the suit land.
It is shown in Annexure B to the application, that the suit land is registered in the names of Lukwago George vide Instrument No. KLA 205326 OF 1/7/99. I was able to view the duplicate certificate which is in the applicants' possession. I have also seen and perused an agreement of sale dated 26/6/2000 attached as Annexure "C". It indicates that Lukwago George sold the suit land to the deceased for a sum of Shs.45, 000,000; Shs.10,000,000 of which was paid in cash, and the balance by a banker's draft in favour of the vendor to be handed over to him at execution of the agreement. The land was stated to be free of any encumbrance, and the purchaser was to assume possession immediately upon execution of the agreement.
Going by the above evidence, I am satisfied that the suit land was purchased by the deceased, the applicant's predecessor, from Lukwago George, its registered owner at a sum of Shs.45 million that was paid in full. The transfer instrument attached as Annexure "D" would have no legal consequence for although it quotes Block 244 and Plot 5984 as the land in issue, it omits to show the actual buyer and seller of the land, and indicates no purchase price. However, there is uncontested evidence that the deceased took immediate possession of the suit land and that the applicants as his successors in title have continued with such possession. I am prepared to agree that the deceased's possession was agreed to by the registered owner since it is the latter's legal representatives who have the duplicate certificate of title and so far, there is no documented contest to their possession. If I were to be in doubt of those facts, the applicants did present a tenancy agreement in respect of the suit land between them as landlords, and one Grace Keji Ali as tenant for the period 2/1/14 to 1/1/15. Only an owner or, one in possession may legally let out a premises.
According to Mukanza, the applicants have been unable to obtain a fresh transfer from the vendor who cannot be found, this after due diligence to find him. I note that not much was said to explain what steps had been taken to locate this vendor. However, considering that the agreement of sale was made as far back as June 2000, and that the applicants were not party to it, the chances of tracing the vendor could only be reasonably achieved from searching the register. I have noted that his postal address is given.
Be that as it may, the order sought is one that requires my discretion. In my view, the applicants have demonstrated that a purchase of registered land that was otherwise completed, cannot be followed up with registration because the vendor cannot be reasonably traced.
In my view, and I hold that the conditions for obtaining a vesting order have been fulfilled.
I would accordingly allow the application in the terms it is sought. The applicants only being the legal representatives of the purchaser's estate which may have other legal beneficiaries, such transfer must reflect that ownership is limited to that extent.
I would in addition order that the applicants meet the costs of the application.


Now I may be using a little creative exaggeration here (not much), but I'll wager dollars to donuts that any serious birder can interpret the above without skipping a beat1. But why do birdwatchers talk this way?
I have several theories, but chief among them is that serious birdwatchers tend to be the sort of people who weren't terribly popular in school2. In finding birdwatching, many such folks find a community, or a sort of club to belong to. The use of a code language allows one member of the club to identify another, and to assess the seriousness with which he or she pursues the sport. Connections can be made, friendships can be formed. It's like a sort of birder mating ritual.
The code can serve nefarious purposes also. Some birders use their lingo – intentionally or otherwise – to express a certain superiority over those less-versed in it. Fluency in this secret language allows me to talk over your head, then explain patronizingly when you don't understand. As though my in-depth knowledge of abbreviations for bird names somehow confers a higher standing in society. You may be a neurosurgeon sir, but I know what an empid is. Check-mate.
Unfortunately, whatever its intended purpose, this confusing vernacular can make birdwatching daunting to the beginner. There's no dictionary to Birderese, and asking senior birders to define their terminology is intimidating. While there are many facets of this language to learn, one thing that really trips new birders up is alpha codes.
Alpha codes (sometimes called AOU codes or banding codes) are standardized, 4-letter codes that refer to North American birds3. They are often used as shorthand in ornithological research, but many keen birdwatchers adopt them for their own field notes. Some also include them in public reports or even speech, confusing any readers or listeners who are not familiar4.
For one-word names, use the first four letters: Ovenbird becomes OVEN.
For two-word names, use the first two letters of each: Yellow Warbler becomes YEWA.
For three-word names, use the first letter of the first two words, and the first two letters of the last: Yellow-rumped Warbler becomes YRWA.
For four-word names, use the first letter of each: Black-and-white Warbler becomes BAWW.
Trumpeter Swan and Tree Swallow should both be TRSW, so we use the third letter of the first name to differentiate: TRUS and TRES.
Barn Owl and Barred Owl should both be BAOW, so we use the last letter of the first name to differentiate: BANO and BADO.
Because of the ambiguity, and the difficulty in reverse-engineering bird names from the codes, alpha codes are really just an exercise in memory, and we can pretty much leave it there5. The reason for my lengthy dalliance down Lingo Lane, though, is that this week's one-word-bird possesses a rare, if trivial, distinction. It is one of only two North American birds whose alpha code is its name: the Sora (alpha code: SORA).
The Sora's name is so short that people can't seem to handle it, and many erroneously call this bird Sora Rail. As you can imagine, it rubs me very much the wrong way when people ruin a perfectly good one-word name with superfluous verbiage. Just Sora is fine, thank you very much.
The Sora is indeed a rail (or crake, depending which word you prefer), which basically means it's like a little, marsh-loving chicken. It has a plump body and small head, with stout legs and long toes for wading around in densely vegetated areas. It looks ridiculous, if we're being honest, but in a truly delightful way.
Right now you may be thinking that you've never seen a bird like this before, so it may surprise you to learn that the Sora is fairly common all across North America. Imagine a wetland near you and chances are there's a Sora in it, at least during the warm months. But rails, as a rule, are extremely cryptic, and there are plenty of seasoned birders who have never seen one either.
The Sora always seems a little surprised that you can see it.
Never fear though, for there is indeed a way to experience the secretive Sora: simply close your eyes and open your ears. The name "rail" comes from an Old French word meaning "to rattle," and it only just begins to describe the diverse vocalizations of this family. Start listening to the calls of the Sora6, and you may begin to recognize some familiar sounds from springtime in your local marsh. Commit a few to memory, and you'll begin picking these birds out in more places than you'd expect!
Not much information exists on the origin of the Sora's unique name. There's just a vague suggestion that it likely comes from a First Nations language. I'm not entirely sure why it hangs on either, as the Sora is not that different from the other small, North American rails. Whatever the logic, the Sora is a little gift to new birdwatchers across this continent – a secretive bird that refuses to hide behind secret codes.
1North American birder, anyway. Dialect varies by region.
2Begrudgingly I include myself in this unfortunate group.
3Confusingly, when birders refer to North America they are often referring to the American Birding Association's "ABA Area" which excludes Mexico. Birder geography…go figure.
4Some birders really love their codes! I once knew a dog named WIFL, belonging to a fellow who studied Willow Flycatchers.

The world's greatest Gilbert and Sullivan event has confirmed that it is already planning its next three years in Harrogate.
Having only put to bed this year's event a couple of weeks ago, the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival has now announced the dates for next year's operetta extravanganza.
And organisers have confirmed a deal is in place to run until at least 2018 in the town.
Next year's festival will run from Thursday, August 4 until Sunday, August 21.
Having run at Buxton for 20 years, this world famous event arrived in Harrogate in 2014 for the first time.
Although next year's programme has been cut from 23 days to 18, organisers say they are confident of building bigger audiences each year in their new home.
Ian Smith said: "It took five years for us to build the Gilbert and Sullivan Festival into a global event in Buxton. We always assumed it would be a similar journey if we moved to another venue.
Not only does the International G&S Festival attract audiences from across the globe, it also features some of the world's greatest performers in a friendly but competitive atmosphere.
As always, competition for prizes was fierce. The award for International Champions went to a production of Patience by Blue Hill Troupe, New York, USA.
Runners-up were The Mikado by Cape Town G&S Society, South Africa and HMS Pinafore by WWOS.
The best musical director was Andrew Nicklin for The Yeomen of the Guard by the Trent Opera.
To strengthen the festival's financial position, it has launched an appeal aiming to raise £165,000 from the huge community of Gilbert and Sullivan fans, allied to a bid to win Arts Council funding.
Ian Smith said: "The announcement of our return to Harrogate has been met with acclaim from around the world.
"Now the dates are known people from as far afield as Australia are already beginning to book their accommodation.

James Cameron's Epic Sequel Stands as Highest Grossing IMAX Release of All Time in Record-Breaking 44 Countries Worldwide through its First Month of Release.
IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) today announced that Disney/Lightstorm's "Avatar: The Way of Water" is now the third highest grossing IMAX release of all time with more than $215 million in IMAX global box office through Monday in its first full month of release.
With several weeks to go in its IMAX engagement, James Cameron's groundbreaking global cinema event stands as the highest grossing IMAX release of all time in 44 countries and territories worldwide — claiming the top spot in more individual markets than any release in IMAX history. IMAX has accounted for 11.2% of the film's global box office on only a fraction of total screens.
"'Avatar: The Way of Water' is a global cultural event that is so special in IMAX, and we are making the most of that opportunity — driving record-breaking results across a diverse collection of markets from France to India to South Korea and far beyond," said Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX. "'Avatar: The Way of Water' continues to play like so many James Cameron megahits before it, connecting with audiences across a wide swath of cultures with remarkable staying power at the box office."
"Avatar: The Way of Water" has earned $139.3 million in international markets through Monday. The film is the highest grossing IMAX release of all time in 44 markets worldwide including South Korea, France, Germany, Mexico, Italy, India, UAE, Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Ukraine, Austria, Belgium, Turkey, Argentina, Malaysia, Indonesia, Chile, Singapore, Thailand, and Colombia.
Through Monday, "Avatar: The Way of Water" has earned $75.7 million on IMAX screens in North America — the third highest IMAX Domestic box office performance ever.
"Avatar: The Way of Water" continues to gain ground in China, where IMAX screens have earned $47.6 million to date — good for a massive 23% of the Chinese box office on only 1% of screens. The film's run in China was extended through next week's Lunar New Year holiday, the perennial peak season for Chinese moviegoing. Four new titles will open in IMAX across China for the holiday, including China Film Group's "The Wandering Earth 2", Maoyan's "Full River Red", Enlight's "Deep Sea" and Bona's "Hidden Blade".
"Avatar: The Way of Water" will continue to screen across IMAX locations in most global markets into February. Cameron and Disney/Lightstorm currently have three more films in the "Avatar" saga planned through 2028.

Critical Orange Punch Auto Grown Filmed and Edited by @Lucky_Acres.
Nice ! What's your average yield on autos and do you have any videos showing the training technique you use don't Kno if I've seen so much done to autos but they seem to love it man !
Why is all your comments blocked on other videos?
Lucky ..? What training do you do to the plant? Do you by any chance top? Have you ever?
Amazing grow man ! Always finally you enable the comments! I wanted to let you know I learned a lot from you thank you for your free knowledge!
What's good with the basil in the back? Cross pollination? Taste? Or just good growing mates. Very curious!
Looks great! I've been training my plants based on your videos and ig and it's been working out great. Really easy to get an even canopy perfectly packed with colas. My space is very limited in all directions, but keeping it short and even while filling the area with just 1 plant has been easy to do this way. Cheers!
Must be coco is current trend in autos. I've got a bad back when I can it's going to be dwc and pump no heavy lifting.

Q: How to retrieve data by searching on hashed password in CakePHP? I am using CakePHP 3.3
Table: block_logins
******************** 1. row *********************
           id: 1
   ip_address:
     username:
     password: $2y$10$5ijG2YNs74pirWUAkDu2UuObWMmAjW25dvoR8rXIMCcym9t5AP6VG
  description: test
      expires: 2017-06-17 13:48:02
date_modified: 2017-06-16 13:49:09
 date_created: 2017-06-16 13:48:02
*************************************************

Code:
$passwordHasherObj = new \Cake\Auth\DefaultPasswordHasher();
        $password = $passwordHasherObj->hash($password);

return $this->find('all')
            ->where(["OR" => ["ip_address" => $users_ip, "username" => $username, "password" => $password]])
            ->andWhere(["expires >" => date("Y-m-d H:m:s")])
            ->execute()->fetchAll('assoc');

I am trying to get data from this block_logins table by matching on ip_address or username or password.
The passwords are hashed before they are saved in this table, So when I try to execute this query it's not matching on password, and returning zero rows.
Is there a way to use DefaultPasswordHasher's check() in find(), or any other way to implement this?

A final pay will typically include amounts for paying out leave. This may be 8% holiday pay on earnings since the employee's last anniversary, or any other outstanding leave - typically annual leave and/or alternate leave.
This can result in pays that are much higher than a regular pay. If taxed based on the regular pay periods, and entered into the IRD calculator the tax will be high.
Any leave payments in a final pay are taxed as an Extra Pay. Please see the end of this article for details.
The other thing that can affect the tax deducted is if there is a retiring or redundancy allowance in the pay. When adding this to a pay you should tick 'Redundancy or Retiring Allowance' when you add the pay code. This means that the ACC component will not be deducted for this portion, something else that isn't catered for in the IRD calculator.

The primary function of a breast reduction is to reduce the size of the breasts by removing excess tissue and skin. Considering every patient is different and the amount of reduction needed depends on the individual, there is more than just one way to execute the surgery. There are several incision options available.
When it comes to the incision for a breast reduction, a patient can opt for a circular pattern around the areola.
A keyhole-shaped pattern is similar to the first one but has an added incision running vertical down to the crease of the breast.
The inverted-T, or anchor-shaped, incision gets its name because it is shaped like an anchor. It is similar to the keyhole, except it also runs along the crease of the breast. This is the most comprehensive incision pattern used for the more dramatic breast reductions.
For more details about breast reduction surgery, contact the Norfolk office of Dr. Lawrence Colen and Dr. Theodore Uroskie.


Made up of members of ARIA award winning Australian rock band End Of Fashion, Nahvana take to the stage as the most chillingly accurate Nirvana tribute band in the country. With a blistering set that covers all of Nirvana's hits as well as fan favourites, NAHVANA are guaranteed to get the dance floor rocking.
While Justin Burford's vocals sound impressively similar to Kurt Cobain's, Mike Hobbs smashes at the drum skins with a fury and precision that would make Dave Grohl proud.

Tag: Opera 9
Opera 9: First Quick Look
Just started trying out Opera 9 (it was announced on the Buzz Out Loud podcast yesterday). It does have several nifty features (as Tom on BOL said) but it does have its quirks.
For instance, thee WYSIWYG mode here on WordPress doesn't seem to work. Although items in Mac OS X's Services menu aren't greyed out, they don't seem to work.
Most of the nifty features are approximate equivalent to Firefox extensions. For instance, the "Notes" feature is rather nifty, especially when you want to keep text, but it's not nearly as useful as Gomita's Scrapbook extension for Firefox and Flock. The session manager seems to work in a similar way to the "Session Manager" Firefox Extension, especially when combined with the trashcan feature, but it seems a bit less powerful.
Opera 9 seems a bit slow overall, especially with more dynamic (e.g. AJAX) features on some pages (including categories here on WordPress).
Look and feel is ok and Opera might be more customizable than other browsers. Still, that's not a very important thing for me.
Opera does have a "community" which reproduces or emulates several things that have been popular elsewhere on the Web (for instance, Digg-like community rating). In that sense, it's an integrated version of several community features. But the browser doesn't really make the community aspects very prominent.
Opera's website has a rather elaborate presentation/animation based on some characters representing user types. That presentation looks pretty much like ads in early issues of the Launch magazine (on CD-ROM). It seems like an obvious attempt at generating hype but it doesn't really carry through as interacting with the animation only leads to very simple information (the accountant/blogger likes widgets…).
It might still work. Opera 9 has a lot of things that people might like and it's quite possible that some will jump right in. But, at this point, our browsing habits are probably entrenched enough that it's hard to switch to a new browser and not feel like something is missing in the new one. Safari, Firefox, Flock, Opera, IE, lynx, iCab, Netscape… Each of them has interesting features and you often wish one combines them all. It's all about workflow. Once you start getting efficient in one browser, there's a lot of inertia preventing you from switching. In my case, switching from Safari to Firefox has been something of a bumpy ride. Still wish Firefox had some of the features of Safari (especially those provided by OSX's Services like "check spelling as you type" and shortcut to Nisus Thesaurus). Switching from Firefox to Flock has been quite easy, especially now that some important extensions (like Scrapbook) are readily available in Flock versions (concurrent with the beta release). Still wish Flock had some more Safari-ness, but Flock does have some neat features for bloggers. In fact, at this point, for me, the browser and the blogging tool should be as integrated as possible. My choice still goes for ecto but a blogging browser could eventually be a better choice.
Browser choice is quite similar to the whole OSX vs. XP thing. Yes, it's possible to switch from one to the other. But like translating poetry with automated tool, it's kind of missing the point.

Loving books: 30 books in 30 days challenge!
Soooo I haven't been reading *that* much in May, so when I saw this challenge over at The Cait Files I thought it would be a great way to catch up on my reading! Thirty books is a lot of reading, and yes there will be some shorter books tucked in there so it evens out the longer books I plan on reading.
So.. Here's a planned list of books that I want to read in June!
Good Luck!! Im doing this too but so far i;ve read none completely! :\ hopefully get one read tonight!!

Footpedal roundup
by Paul Colbert
Why is a fuzz box? No, not what... "why"? How is it that one arrangement of transistors, wires and batteries can sound like a distorting valve amp, while another ends up as a phaser? You nod wisely to yourself, the cosmic truths finally confronted and explained. Colbert, you say, has gone off his trolley.
Still, we shall persevere with an anatomy of effects pedals, and first under the scalpel is the aforementioned fuzzeroo.
Essentially it's an amplifier that doesn't know its own strength. Supposing it's fed a clear guitar note which, for argument's sake, we'll represent as a smooth, undulating sine wave drawn on a sheet of paper. One half of the circuit tries to boost the signal volume so magnifying that wave, but if the piece of paper remains the same size then the peak won't be able to fit on it. The line will go straight up, along the edge of the sheet then straight down a bit later.
It's now a square wave, more or less, with a completely different character. The harmonics, which determine the quality of any sound, have been rearranged. Of course it can vary in degree (fuzz strength) between just the top of the sine wave being shaved off—often referred to as the "onset of clipping" — or the full waveshape distortion.
Incidentally, square waves are particularly strong in second harmonics, that's the note an octave up from the one you're playing. In many fuzz boxes you can hear that additional note quite clearly.
Fuzzes I've liked recently have been the Guyatone Overdrive and Ibanez Tube Screamer, but you can get similar effects by overdriving the first stage of your amplifier. Many amps even have an extra pre-amp gain control to help you do it.
Valves distort in a different way to transistors (see our valve piece on page 76), but lately there have been developments in MOS-FETs (field effect transistors) which are said to share a similar harmonic profile to the old bottle.
Compressors, on the other hand, are almost fuzz boxes in reverse, they turn down your signal to prevent it overloading. The compressor has a final output level which it has to adhere to. An early section in the circuit senses the new incoming note, realises it's going to be louder than the permitted figure and rapidly dumps the excess.
All this happens so quickly that to your ear the change is instantaneous. All that leaks through of the original overloud input is a split second burst of power heard as percussive click. That's what produces the fierce attack and punch which makes compressors popular.
Badly designed compressors can be heard turning themselves up again ready for the next note. This is a problem created by "slow" circuits and they'll sometimes sound as if they're breathing.
Yamaha are making a versatile gadget at the moment, and the Frontline one is cheap, yet still effective.
It's a different kettle of silicon when we arrive at choruses, flangers and echoes. These are all effects based on delaying the signal — for a long time (at least 100 milliseconds) for echo and a much shorter time (say 3.5 to 14 milliseconds) for the other two.
One way into this maze is to look at automatic double tracking, which is simply the original signal, then that signal repeated once a split second later. The mind hears two identical notes that are far too close to be an echo and presumes there are two instruments playing at the same time. Easily fooled, is the mind.
One electronic method of delaying the signal is called a "bucket brigade". Imagine the incoming note as a gallon of water which fills up the first bucket, that one empties itself into the second pail, the second then disgorges its contents into the third and so on. All this takes time. If you then swap the analogy to a capacitor charging up with a voltage then releasing it, you'll see how the electronic method can work. Capacitors can charge and discharge at lightning speed, so you need a lot of buckets to produce a delay.
To explain the mystery of the chorus unit, you have to consider the psychology of sound a little more. With ADT, the mind decided there were two instruments always playing a few milliseconds out of sync. Supposing you could alter that delay so it was first 4ms then 5ms then 7ms then back to 4ms — maybe the grey cells would reckon there was an entire crowd all bashing away at their gear.
Thus we have a chorus unit. It contains a low frequency oscillator which gradually changes the delay time in a continual sweep. One further mental boost is that two identical instruments side by side will not only be fractionally separated in time but also in pitch. The squeezing and expanding of the delay time results in a small rise and fall in pitch so adding to the chorus effect.
All this goes on around delay times of 5ms to 14ms. Much above and the pitch shift becomes disturbing, much below and you lose the feeling of separation. It's in this lower area that you encounter flanging. The same principles apply, but instead of a movement in time there's a movement in harmonics. As the low frequency oscillator slowly goes through its paces, the original and delayed signals interact, creating the characteristic "sawing" sound. Many flangers that straddle the time barrier also have a chorusy feel to them and there are many pedals on the market that do both jobs, occasionally to the detriment of both.
One other problem you may encounter in cheap effects is the quality of the LFO. Ideally a sine wave oscillator would be best, taking the delay through the smoothest possible journey. Unfortunately it's much easier to build an approximate triangle wave LFO and if this is badly set up, the delay may accelerate to a maximum and rapidly fall away. It's this peaking which creates the lumpiness heard in bad chorus, flanger or even phaser units.
The Boss BF-2 is a powerful flanger, cold in sound perhaps, but unusually quiet and compact, and the similarly priced Ibanez (they're both around £80) is good at its job. Probably champion of the small chorus pedals at the moment is the latest Boss CE-3 which has two stereo modes.
Such a gadget will send the original signal to one speaker and its delayed half to the other. Since we started with a time difference and a pitch difference, that separation in space is the final clinching factor.
By ditching the LFO and greatly increasing the bucket length you arrive at a delay line. When your gallon of water is poured from the last in the chain it may be up to 300ms "late", but that's only one repeat. For real echo it has to be looped back to the beginning of the brigade. The intensity control decides how many times it will make the voyage. It can reach the stage where the signal is doomed to wander the buckets for ever, like a ghostly highwayman galloping the moors until his spirit is laid to rest, or the battery runs out.
I don't want to get too carried away with this bucket comparison, but there's one more useful analogy. Each time the water is moved, a little is spilt or left behind. At the end of a long trip it may be down to seven pints.
In the same way your signal will lose out, invariably in treble. How efficient the transfer is dictates the quality of the final sound. The Boss DM-2 Delay preserves the upper frequencies and supplies unusually long delays in such a small pedal. MXR are also famed for their delays and at a higher price range both the Ibanez DM1000 and Cutec CD-424 are fine value.
It's true that you can get duffers while shopping around for effects — noisy ones, lumpy ones, and so forth — but it's wrong to think there is the ideal for which all flangers and fuzz boxes should strive. They can be as different as guitars or keyboards and it's a matter of listening around until you find one that suits your ears and wallet.

Oh, that time of year is upon us. The smell of buttercream and flowers are in the air. The words to the chicken dance (or at least the melody) is stuck in your head. Your mailbox is filled with save the dates, and invitations to showers, engagement parties and weddings. It's a wonderful time of the year. So, let's just take a few minutes to refresh ourselves on how to be a good guest.
Honestly, there is nothing more irritating than people who do not return their RSVPs. It takes 2 minutes and it is already stamped. For the happy couple it is very frustrating trying to figure out how many people to plan for when you have 20 RSVP floating around. I understand, I slipped on one last week and heard it from my mom. I did return the it with a note to the Bride apologizing for being late. One final note on this, if you return your RSVP that you are coming at the last minute you can't make (I know it happens) - call the Bride (or her Mom or the Groom or his Mom) and tell them please.
No Shorts, no flip flops, no jeans, no t-shirts, and no gym shoes.
The open bar is tempting. It's like going to a buffet, it's like they want you to stuff yourself and feel awful later (or in the morning). This will cause you to say things that you don't mean, for example "When did your wife start dressing like Michael Jackson?" -- yes I did overhear that at a wedding. A couple of drinks will get you loosened up for the 'Electric Slide' - just don't get too loose, if you know what I mean.
It's important that you get alittle face time with them. Thank them for the lovely dinner, and sharing their special day with you. The best way to excuse yourself? "Well, I know you have alot of other people to see, I can't wait to catch up with you after your honeymoon."
Get a card, write a check.
Turn it off before the ceremony. Only use for pictures and important calls (or texts) and I am talking babysitter important, calls and texts during the reception. Do not post any pictures until the reception. Be engaged in the event. Sit back and have an actually conversation. Dance with your date.
PS - So now you know what how to act, find out What to get the Bride and Groom.
I didn't see "be a people person" on there! It is important to get along with the other guests too.
Also, I've seen getting along with the other guests go too far the other way . . . so be a people person, but keep your hands to yourself. That could be a subpoint under #4.
I will be watching to see if you obey your own rules at the very next wedding you attend!
That's a good one, I thought that you would appreciate the Michael Jackson comment!

Q: How do I get the attributes of a tag? Been looking everywhere, I just can't seen to find it (probably because I'm wording it wrong or something).
In have a simple select tag in a from with several options. Each option has an id attribute. I want to get the id from the selected options.
The name of the select tag is "group", so in the servlet I call:
String group = request.getParameter("group");

This only returns the "label" of the option (the name of it, what the user sees). I don't want that, I want the id of it. I tried
String group = request.getParameterValues("group");

but that just returns an array with one item, the label of the option.
How can I do this? Thanks.

A: You should set the value attribute of the option tag to what you want to get from servlet:
   <select name="parent">
     <c:forEach items="${parents}" var="parent">
       //      here set value="yourid"
       <option value="${parent.id}">${parent.name}
     </c:forEach>
   </select>

INTERVIEW: Son of the Hound talks ahead of debut album launch at Belfast's Limelight, 2
April 1, 2019 Mark Millar Interviews 0
Son of The Hound is guitar pop brainchild of Irish troubadour Michael McCullagh. Simultaneously melancholic and euphoric, his outsider anthems of life's light and shade have fostered a connection with his fans. If you've attended one of Son Of The Hounds raucous live shows you will have witnessed the deafening sing-alongs, swaying hips and an audience hanging on to McCullagh's every word. McCullagh has found a kinship with his fans who find solace in the romance of losing and hope in trying. Son of The Hound's debut album 'Cheers, Sound, Good Luck' launches at Belfast's Limelight, 2 on Wednesday 3rd April. Mark Millar caught up with Michael to talk about the album and upcoming show.
Your debut album 'Cheers, Sound, Good Luck' will be released soon. Did you go into the recording with any preconceived ideas how it would sound and what you wanted to write about?
Yes! I knew I wanted to record it with Ryan McGroarty in Start Together studios because I loved his recordings with his own band Beauty Sleep. I drove them around on tour a lot last year so myself and he had lots of talks about music production and realised we had similar tastes. There was a lot of air drumming and air piano along to The Waterboys Whole of The Moon. I think that sealed the deal.
Is there a particular song on the new album that you thought "this is why I'm doing this"?
Not really, I'm still not sure why I'm doing this. It's financially crippling and emotionally exhausting, but there are upsides as well. Playing live is why I do it because it's the best part of the whole process, but I guess 'The Also Rans' song thematically sums up why I'm doing it.
What is your songwriting process?
If I knew that I'd write a lot more songs! Some people have a process and are very prolific. I couldn't tell you in all honesty. It usually starts with me picking up a guitar and walking around the house dicking about, or sitting at the piano and trying to figure out how to play it.
Did the songs come easily for the album?
Aye. I had a collection of about four songs finished and when I decided to do an album I set a date for it and then locked myself in a coat closet for a few months to write the rest. That's no exaggeration. The album was written in a coat closet I converted into a home studio.
Was it an enjoyable experience recording the new album?
Absolutely, Ryan is gorgeous and I ate so much hummus I got sick. What's not to love? It's great hearing your ideas come to life. It's like playing with lego.
To promote the album's first single you filmed a six-part mini web-series called 'The Also-Rans'. It was a great idea and looked like you had a great time making it. Why did you decide to go down that route?
The honest-to-god initial reason was I hate doing music videos because they make me feel uncomfortable and also I couldn't think of a decent concept for one so I decided to pitch this idea to my friend and talented filmmaker Colm Laverty. Myself and Colm have the same taste in comedy and he was keen to test out his skills. Once he was on board I asked Tony Wright who dove in completely and away we went. It was a lot of hard work but the best craic I've ever had.
Son of the Hound plays a headline Belfast show on April 3rd at Limelight 2 to launch the new album. Are you looking forward to playing for the always 'up for it' Belfast crowd?
What does that mean, always 'up for it'? That sounds disconcerting. Is there going to be a ruckus? Nah there probably won't be. A cursory glance through the ticket orders and I'm fairly certain none of these attendees will be trouble makers. If it's anything like the last gig then I'll be delighted. Everyone who was there was so friendly and supportive. What more do you want?
Do you think there is a healthy music scene in Northern Ireland now?
It's hard to be subjective because I've never spent long enough in music communities elsewhere, but I think so. There's something for everyone and from my experience, everyone is friendly and supportive of each other. Although I might be naive.
You host Mad Notions, a successful weekly podcast based on music myths. What is your favourite myth?
The story of Gram Parsons is one of those stories that is too weird to be false. It has everything, including stealing a hearse from an airport when drunk and burning a corpse in the desert. Gram Parson's corpse experienced more in a couple of days than most people do in a lifetime.
What are you most grateful for about being able to be a musician every day?
It's like playing lego with your friends when you were a wee kid. You get together and make something and there are no rules. You can make whatever you want.
Out of all the music in your collection who do you have the most albums by?
Bruce Springsteen followed closely by The Beatles and Bob Dylan.
What have you been listening to recently that you could recommend?
I haven't been listening to much because I've been gigging lots, rehearsing lots and preparing for the album so my ears are exhausted when I have any time to myself. So I've been listening to the garrulous patter of pub chat over creamy stout and to be honest, I couldn't recommend it enough.
What do you do when you're not making music?
I work at an underfunded inner-city school teaching at-risk kids that poetry is actually a form of rap and that Shakespeare was the original gangster. It's very rewarding but also challenging as the superintendent is always on my case demanding I stick to the curriculum, but myself and the kids are planning a big performance at the end of year recital that's going to blow his mind. I'll not say too much, but I will say 'Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day' and 'rapped over Run DMC's It's Like That'.
What's next for Son of the Hound?
Probably going to record and release 'Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day' rapped over Run DMC's 'It's Like That' if I'm honest.

Q: Achieve "::-moz-focus-inner {border:0;}" in javascript I'd like to remove the ugly focus outline on an input button in firefox. I've tried adding ::-moz-focus-inner {border:0;} as style in my html, which works initially, but not when button elements are re-created via javascript.
I've tried:
cell.style.mozFocusInner.border = "0";
cell.style["-moz-focus-inner"] = "{border:0}";
cell.style["-moz-focus-inner"]["border"] = "0";

etc.
In general, how do I "map" css to javascript?

A: According to the CSS property to IDL attribute algorithm, a -moz-focus-inner would be camelCased to MozFocusInner. So you could use one of
element.style.MozFocusInner = value;
element.style.setPropertyValue('-moz-focus-inner', value);
element.style.setProperty('-moz-focus-inner', value);
element.style.setProperty('-moz-focus-inner', value, '!important');

But there is a big problem: -moz-focus-inner is not a CSS property, is a pseudo-element.
Given an element, you can read the computed styles of its pseudo-elements via getComputedStyle:
getComputedStyle(element, '::-moz-focus-inner').borderTopWidth; // 1px

However, you can't set them directly. If you want to do that, you can:

*

*Conditionally set the desired styles in a stylesheet, and use JS to trigger that condition whenever you want. For example, add a class.

document.getElementById('enable').addEventListener('click', function() {
  document.getElementById('target').classList.remove('no-focus-inner');
});
document.getElementById('disable').addEventListener('click', function() {
  document.getElementById('target').classList.add('no-focus-inner');
});
.no-focus-inner::-moz-focus-inner {
  border: none;
}

<button id="enable">Enable inner outline</button> or <button id="disable">Disable inner outline</button>

Press Tab key

<button id="target">Focus me to check if I have inner outline</button>

*Create a new stylesheet with the desired rulesets, and append it to the document.

var styleSheet = document.createElement('style');
styleSheet.textContent = '#target::-moz-focus-inner { border: none; }';
document.getElementById('enable').addEventListener('click', function() {
  if(styleSheet.parentNode) document.head.removeChild(styleSheet);
});
document.getElementById('disable').addEventListener('click', function() {
  document.head.appendChild(styleSheet);
});

<button id="enable">Enable inner outline</button> or <button id="disable">Disable inner outline</button>

Press Tab key

<button id="target">Focus me to check if I have inner outline</button>

A: Maybe this works without javascript: https://css-tricks.com/forums/topic/button-padding-issue/
::moz-focus-inner is a pseudo-element. In this link are several ways how to modify pseudo-elements dynamically (with javascript) http://pankajparashar.com/posts/modify-pseudo-elements-css/
cited from http://pankajparashar.com/posts/modify-pseudo-elements-css/ :

Hi, this is a plain-old, sad-looking paragraph tag.

.red::before {
    content: 'red';
    color: red;
}

Method 1
Write separate classes attached with pseudo element for each style and then using JavaScript or jQuery toggle between these classes.
.green::before {
    content: 'green';
    color: green;
}

$('p').removeClass('red').addClass('green');

...

Common css-styles (not pseudo-elements) can be modified using javascript like this:
cited from https://www.kirupa.com/html5/setting_css_styles_using_javascript.htm :
Every HTML element that you access via JavaScript has a style object. This object allows you to specify a CSS property and set its value. For example, this is what setting the background color of an HTML element whose id value is superman looks like:
var myElement = document.querySelector("#superman");
myElement.style.backgroundColor = "#D93600";

To affect many elements, you can do something as follows:
var myElements = document.querySelectorAll(".bar");

for (var i = 0; i < myElements.length; i++) {
    myElements[i].style.opacity = 0;
}

In a nutshell, to style elements directly using JavaScript, the first step is to access the element. I am using the querySelector method to make that happen. The second step is just to find the CSS property you care about and give it a value. Remember, many values in CSS are actually strings. Also remember that many values require a unit of measurement like px or em or something like that to actually get recognized.

All this while, inflexible work practices have been a significant challenge for people with disabilities. Because remote work is now a mandate in most companies, individuals with disabilities are finally finding their place at work. But is it great for all?
For some employees with disabilities, avoiding commuting to work every day can open up a range of jobs they can now perform from home. Having a setup conducive to their disability at home also encourages them to get more meaningful work they can perform productively. With everyone working from home, they can feel as much a part of the workforce as the rest of the team.
For others, the commute may not have been as much of a problem. Instead, employers' reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities at work enabled them to do their jobs efficiently. For some, working in person allowed them to understand social signals and messages that may not be apparent in online communication.
So has remote work enhanced or undermined disability inclusion in the workplace? The jury is still out on this.
Employment Levels of Workers With Disabilities Have Dropped During the Pandemic
The Bureau of Labor Statistics report from May 2020 found that "the number of working-age people with disabilities who were employed decreased by 950,000 between March and April (from 4,772,000 to 3,827,000), a 20 percent reduction," as reported by Disability Insider.
The BBC reported in July 2020 that in the U.K., pre-pandemic employment numbers for those with disabilities stood at 4.4 million. However, these individuals are more than twice as likely as non-disabled individuals to be unemployed owing to the pandemic.
In an economic crisis – the kind that is sweeping across the world – the competition for work is often intense. This can very well put individuals with disabilities on the backburner for recruiters. And according to a recent report by Guardian Insurance, only 11% of employers engage in exclusive recruiting of individuals with disabilities. And only 1 in 8 recruiters say that targeted hiring for workers with a disability is a priority.
This can further be a challenge, considering some employees are not even comfortable disclosing disabilities to their employers for the fear they may not get the job. One survey found that 50% of HR professionals said they would be very or somewhat uncomfortable disclosing a disability at work.
Inclusive recruitment would have to first account for this challenge before hoping to make headway with candidates with disabilities.
But Remote Work May Offer Some Hope for Employees With Disability
In a GitHub study of 3,000 adult professionals above the age of 22 released in January 2020, 14% of remote workers surveyed said they had a disability or chronic illness. 83% of those workers said they were able to work because of remote work. This means the accommodations that have finally been made available en masse can open up a talent pool of employees for organizations.
And the future of work for employees with disabilities can indeed be promising. This article by Workplace Initiative, a social impact program dedicated to creating inclusive workplaces where people with disabilities can thrive, presents an encouraging picture for individuals with disabilities in the throes of the pandemic and their future. It finds that flexible work and the growth of accessible software allow employees with disabilities to work as efficiently as their non-disabled counterparts. This may create a more inclusive workplace in which they thrive.
Also, increased paid time off and flexibility in terms of the four-day workweek are likely to level the playing field for employees with disabilities.
The BBC report cited earlier shares the story of one individual with a disability on finding work in the pandemic. He says that because interviews are now virtual, he can use the make notes on screen to remember to use specific keywords that he might forget or find challenging to mention owing to his speech disability. So, virtual hiring can further simplify the inclusion of individuals with disabilities at work.
Making Remote Work Inclusive for Employees With Disabilities
What is likely to support remote disability inclusion at work the most is having leaders with disabilities representing this group. Having a diverse workforce can improve business, and having diverse leadership can help this workforce thrive. Like most other challenges in the workplace, addressing this one, too, begins at the top.
While the move to remote work has been great for a lot of employee groups, employees with disabilities are disappointed that it took a pandemic to get them the benefits they've been asking for since they entered the workforce.
In this eye-opening article that talks about the reactions of individuals with disabilities on the transition to remote work, one employee with a chronic pain and fatigue condition shares her thoughts. "I feel a combination of pain and hope," says Laura, 29. "I knew already how many jobs in this world could be made accessible if a company decided accessibility was important to them, and the pandemic seems to be proving that. So it's difficult to watch. But I also feel hope— perhaps this will open some eyes and show that more jobs can be made remote, and therefore accessible, moving forward."
And the hope is that the pandemic will do precisely that with support from inclusive recruitment measures and leadership. Here are three ways disability inclusion can be promoted at work.
1. Enforce inclusive hiring
A lot of charities are supporting the pursuit of jobs that individuals with disabilities can perform from home. Organizations that don't have disability hiring as a priority must consider it one and tie up with these charities to support employees with disabilities at a time when they need this support the most.
For instance, in 2019, HireVue, a video interviewing and assessment platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help recruiters assess personality fit, partnered with Integrate Autism Employment Advisors. This nonprofit organization offers recruiters access to professionals on the autism spectrum. Integrate will use HireVue Assessments technology to help such professionals predict their performance and potential in a job.
Skill-based assessments must be given priority over traditional recruitment methods.
2. Enforce disability inclusion training
The shift to remote work and the ensuing inclusion of individuals with disabilities may also result in a more positive attitude toward them because it shifts focus to their work. And it can start by providing a formalized disability awareness and inclusion training program. A 2019 research report carried out by SHRM and Workplace Initiative by Understood found that most HR professionals and employees were not receiving disability inclusion training at work. This needs to be addressed immediately to ensure an unbiased and inclusive hiring process and workplace.
3. Take advantage of technology, the enabler
Michael Klazema, the chief marketing technologist at VODW, writes about upcoming technologies that can support workplace disability inclusion. And eventually, these technologies may be able to support a remote workforce with disabilities.
For instance, speaking about inclusive virtual meeting technology, he writes, "Another potential source of support is virtual meeting technology that would allow someone living with a speech impairment to communicate more clearly and effectively with colleagues via in-app voice translation. Such technology could be a significant source of professional support not only for employees who have always struggled to communicate but also for those who are facing an unexpected medical challenge later in life due to a stroke, an ALS diagnosis, or a chronic illness that affects speech."
But this requires companies to make reasonable accommodations or adjustments regardless of where their employees work through a combination of flexible work and assistive technologies.
Use this guide to get started with making your workplace more disability-friendly.
Why You Need a Disability-Friendly Workplace
A 2018 Accenture report said, "The GDP could get a boost of up to $25 billion if just 1 percent more of persons with disabilities joined the U.S. labor force." That's a significant number,
COVID-19, the great equalizer as some call it, has presented the opportunity to shake things up in the world of work. The "new normal" is poised to look radically different from the "old normal." Organizations have the opportunity to create a productive, diverse, and inclusive workplace comprising all groups and create a diverse and inclusive workplace for those with disabilities.

 Know In One Minute | How Is The Induction Heating Equipment Heated - Lihua Technology(HK) Industrial Co., Ltd.
Induction heating is a non - contact heating process. It uses high frequency electric to heat conductive material. Since it is non-contact, the heating process will not contaminate the heated material. It's also a very efficient way of heating, because the heat is generated inside the workpiece. Compared with other heating methods, it is more efficient, energy-saving, material saving, environmental-friendly and safe. Therefore, induction heating is suitable for heat treatment applications in many metal industries.
The heat of Induction heating equipment is mainly generated by the metal itself. Induction heating equipment usually has a induction coil, and alternating current generates a very intense and rapidly changing magnetic field through the coil in the space of the working coil.
The heated workpiece is placed in this strong alternating magnetic field. According to the nature of the workpiece material, the heating time will be different, and the alternating magnetic field induces the current flow in the workpiece. The layout of the work coil and the workpiece can be considered as an electrical transformer. The working coil is mainly used for electric power transmission, and the workpiece is a single turn short circuit. This lead to huge currents which are also called vortexes flowing through the workpiece .
In addition, the high frequency induction heating application produces a phenomenon known as the "skin effect". This skin effect forces the alternating current to flow on the surface of the workpiece. The skin effect increases the effective resistance of metal to large current channel. Therefore, it greatly increases the heating effect of the current caused by the workpiece.
