Playback: Field Day 2021
Over the past 14 years, Field Day has hosted some of the world's most iconic artists alongside some of the very best up-and-coming talent. The lineup has always covered a wide range of genres from Aphex Twin, Bonobo, and PJ Harvey to Skepta, Erykah Badu, Loyle Carner. Field Day also belongs to that small subset of music events that pioneered the idea of a festival in the heart of a major city. The idea that local Londoners could go watch some amazing music in a London park and then stumble home to your own bed… was revolutionary.
In 2018, Field Day moved to a new field in South London (Brockwell Park). Then it pioneered a new location in a massive hanger at The Drumsheds in 2019. This summer the festival returned to its original field in Victoria Park, East London.
For me, Field Day's move back to its spiritual home helped give us a sense of nostalgia and normality. I know social distancing and PPE might be with us for a bit longer, but being able to go back to Victoria park to listen to great music at Field Day felt…. well normal.
This year's Field Day line up however, was anything but normal. The carefully crafted lineup showcased some of the biggest names in electronic music: Bicep, Floating Points, Jungle, Mount Kimbie, Ross From Friends and Overmono topped the headlines. The night also featured some of the industry's best selectors with DJ sets from Sofia Kourtesis, The Blessed Madonna, Josey Rebelle, DJ Seinfeld, Special Request, Mall Grab, Artwork and many more.
But for all those people who didn't get to go to Field Day this year, I've picked out the seven best things I think happened (in no particular order)
Mr Jukes and Barney Artist live
Okay okay, you probably won't get the sense of how good this show was from my less-than-great photo, but it was so exciting to see lyricist Barnabas Ochora-Isukali (aka Barney Artist) and multi-instrumentalist Jack Steadman (aka Mr Jukes) playing live on stage together.
When Steadman broke off from Bombay Bicycle Club to create his new moniker Mr Jukes, I was blown away by his debut album, God First. The musicality, the collaborations, the soul… it all added up to something special. One of my favorite albums of 2017.
For Steadmen's second album, The Locket, he teamed up with Barney Artist to continue to grow and evolve his sound. And while God First featured collaborations with many different artists, The Locket, finds Steadmen only collaborating with one: Barney Artist. In truth, the album wouldn't be the same without Barney.
But I'm getting sidetracked. What I'm trying to say is that I was very excited to see both musicians on the stage putting it all together live. There is something you just can't get from a recorded album when it comes to good old fashioned hip hop, and seeing Barney rap poetic on stage live was fantastic to be around. Add to that Steadmen's soulful live instrumental and you just enhance the energy. I could totally imagine a full band on stage playing the album live, but I suppose with COVID times, that just wasn't an option. The point is: you should go see these guys perform live.
All the Hot Chip guys up on stage together at one time
I remember going to see Hot Chip play in a tiny music hall in New York back in 2006 or 2007. It was easy to see that those five guys would become a mega band. Nowadays it's rare to see all five band members together at one time. It's usually a Hot Chip DJ set, or Alexis on his own or Goddard with The 2 Bears…
So when I rocked up to the main stage to see the whole crew doing their thing, it was really nice.
And "nice" is the right word for the set. It was a daytime-ish set. Chilled. Good music. They didn't totally blow the roof off the festival or anything, just quality music with a few hits thrown in. But totally just right.
TSHA
Everyone from Annie Mac to Bonobo has been talking about TSHA. She's been on the cover of Mixmag and she's currently the face of Spotify's EQUAL campaign which highlights women who define the past, present and future of music. So it was exciting to see her finally play live.
And she did not disappoint with her dance-floor-ready set filled with electronic, funk, and soul. The best part was to see how much energy TSHA has behind the decks the entire time. It looked like she was having just as much fun as we were in the crowd, which is lovely.
The British Love their Fries!
Or should I say "chips" as the Brits call french fries. Brits absolutely love their chips. And this massive mound of chips was a shrine to the obsession. But I have to say: there is no where better to get french fries than in the UK. And Field Day had some fantastic chippys to choose from. But this place took the chip award with its humble serving of double fried chips with a topping of rosemary, truffle oil and crumbly cheese.
The Blessed Madonna
Marea Stamper is a fantastic DJ / producer. When ever I see a TBM track come up, I get excited.
But ever since Fred Gibson (aka Fred Again..) interviewed Stamper over lockdown for his track "We've Lost Dancing" her voice has been immortalized. The track has been the summer anthem for me.
Special Request in the big X stage
Special Request played an absolutely filthy set at Field Day this year. And to make it even better it was at the BBC 6 Music stage — which I called the giant spider stage because it was under a huge X shape.
I don't know what it is about big spider-shaped X tents, but it just made me want to rave even harder for some reason.
Of course the Bicep set is on the list. C'mon.
The Northern Irish duo have become garnered a cult following over the years, beginning with their debut album Isles. The video for their track "Glued" visualized how their music had roots in humble blue collar places but gave a sense of unity.
Visuals and symbolism have always been important for Bicep. For their headlining set at Field Day, they put on a stunning light where the two men where facing each other over the desks. But the visuals were just the accompaniment to the music. And as night fell, the music began with signature Bicep tones coming over the sound system. Rivers of people from every corner of the festival ground slowly trickled into the field in front of the main stage. It was a theatrical performance; an electronic opera. It was everything you expect from these guys. And a fantastic way to finish off another excellent Field Day.

Fair Value, The Global Way
The Joint SEC and CFTC Form PF Proposal – a.k.a. the –They Really Expect Us to Tell Them EVERYTHING About Our Funds Via Their New Fancy Form' Proposal
FATCA Another Acronym, Another Headache
SEC Registration – What it Means to Have Custody and How to Comply

In the post-2008 aftermath of Bernie Madoff, financial markets meltdown and sweeping financial regulatory reform impacting alternative investment funds, investment advisors and broker-dealers, it was easy to forget that in 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB" or "the Board") and the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued a Memorandum of Understanding that would form the foundation for the convergence of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") intended to create a common set of high quality global accounting standards.
This convergence has come to fruition for those reporting entities who measure assets and liabilities at fair value. In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS, ("ASU 2011-04"), an amendment to Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement ("Topic 820"). The purpose of the amendments in ASU 2011-04 is to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 explain how to measure fair value but do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this update apply to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose fair value of an asset, liability or an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity in the financial statements.
How will ASU 2011-04 impact fair value measurement and financial reporting for private investment funds?
The good news is the changes should not significantly impact current valuation techniques or disclosures, as they are fairly consistent with the existing fair value measurement principals in Topic 820. Overall, many of the amendments are being made to eliminate wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS and clarify the Board's intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. However, some of the amendments could change how the fair value measurement guidance in Topic 820 is applied as they relate to a particular requirement for measuring fair value and disclosure of information about fair value measurements. Several of the additional disclosures do not apply to non-public companies, which is also good news for private investment funds. These requirements include disclosure of transfers between Level I and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, discussion of the sensitivity of fair value measurement for Level 3 investments to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs, and the classification by level for items that are not recorded on the balance sheet at fair value but are required to be disclosed in the notes (eg: certain loans).
The following is a summary of selective certain amendments and new disclosure requirements that could have an impact on private investment funds:
More Disclosures for Level 3
ASU 2011-04 clarifies that a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used to measure fair value of assets and liabilities categorized within Level 3 as well as a description of the valuation processes used. This is now an explicit requirement to do so with the intent to increase the comparability between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This requirement will be most onerous for investment funds that hold investments whose valuations are based on models with significant unobservable inputs. Management should ensure that the appropriate time and resources are given to develop these disclosures while preparing the financial statements. The disclosure would be presented in a tabular format by investment class. For example, if the reporting entity held venture capital investments in a particular industry sector, the tabular disclosure may include the valuation technique used for that class of investments (such as discounted cash flow) and a listing of each unobservable input, including a weighted average range of all the unobservable inputs used (such as weighted cost of capital, long-term revenue growth rate, discount for lack of marketability, control premium, etc.). The disclosure requirements also include qualitative information on how the reporting entity determines its valuation policies and procedures and a discussion of the changes in fair value measurements from year to year.
The ASU does not require the entity to create and report on quantitative information if it doesn't develop the quantitative unobservable inputs in measuring fair value. Prices of prior transactions and the use of net asset value as a practical expedient are examples of unobservable inputs that are not developed by the reporting entity. Reporting entities that use these inputs would not be required to quantify these inputs and assumptions for these investments even though they may be level 3 investments.
"Highest & Best Use" Concept
The application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts in fair value measurements are only relevant for nonfinancial assets, as they would not apply to financial assets. The Board determined that the highest and best use concept would not apply when measuring the fair value of financial assets or liabilities because these items do not have alternative uses and their fair values do not depend on their use within a group of other assets or liabilities. Prior to the amendment, Topic 820 did not distinguish between financial and nonfinancial assets relative to the concept of highest and best use. This amendment, had itbeen applied to financial assets, would have dramatically changed the valuation of over-the-counter derivatives, which are generally measured based on net exposure. To maintain current practice, FASB provides an exception that allows a reporting entity to consider the sale or transfer of its net position for a particular risk exposure if certain criteria are met. This exception applies only to the measurement of financial instruments. The exception is also limited to portfolios of both financial assets and liabilities that have offsetting risks (see below).
Offsetting Financial Assets & Liabilities
ASU 2011-04 permits an exception to the basic fair value measurement principles for reporting entities that hold a group of financial assets and financial liabilities which are exposed to market risks and to the credit risk of each of its counterparties that are managed based on the entity's net exposure to these risks, rather than its gross exposure. The exception will allow the reporting entity, if certain criteria are met, to measure the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities at the price that would be received to sell a net asset position for a particular risk or to transfer a net liability position for a particular risk in an orderly transaction between market participants. The ASU notes that in determining whether netting would be appropriate, the reporting entity should consider any existing arrangements that mitigate credit risk exposure in the event of default (for example, a master netting agreement with the counterparty or an agreement that requires the exchange of collateral on the basis of each party's net exposure to the credit risk of the other party). It should be noted, however, that fair value measurement of a portfolio of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of net exposure does not affect the basis of financial statement presentation for these instruments. A reporting entity must comply with the financial statement presentation requirements of ASC 210-20. U.S. GAAP and IFRS still differ in balance sheet presentation in this area. Further differences exist between U.S. GAAP and IFRS which are highlighted later in this article.
Use of Premiums and Discounts
ASU 2011-04 clarifies when the application of a discount or premium to fair value measurements is permissible. In the absence of a Level 1 input, a reporting entity should apply premiums and discounts when market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability consistent with the unit of account in the Topic 820 that requires or permits the fair value measurement. The boards maintain their position that unit-of-account guidance is outside of the scope of the fair value measurement project therefore Topic 820 will continue to focus on how to measure fair value and not what is being measured at fair value or when an asset or liability should be measured at fair value. Premiums and discounts are permitted when they are related to the characteristic of the asset or liability (such as a control premium or non controlling discount) and when market participants would consider them in a transaction for the asset or liability. Fair value adjustments would not be permitted regardless of the hierarchy level when related to the size of the reporting entity's holding (specifically a blockage discount applied when the entity's holdings are significant compared to the average daily trading volume).
The amendments summarized above are to be applied prospectively. The effective date for ASU 2011-04 is interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public entities and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for non-public entities (December 31, 2012 year-end financial statements.)Early application for public entities is not permitted; however, non-public entities may apply amendments early, but no earlier than interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011.
Although the FASB and IASB strived to ensure that Topic 820 and IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurements, were identical, some differences still remain. Many of the differences are style in nature and should not result in inconsistent interpretations in practice by entities applying U.S. GAAP and IFRS. However, there are a few noteworthy differences including:
Investments in Investment Companies: Topic 820 provides a practical expedient that permits a reporting entity to use the reported net asset value of the investment company, without adjustment, as the fair value of the investment. IFRS does not have accounting requirements that are specific to investment companies, and therefore has not included this guidance. Additionally, these entities may require consolidation under IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, which would not be required under U.S. GAAP.The boards are reviewing the valuation of investment companies in a separate convergent project.
Fair Value of a Demand Liability: under U.S. GAAP, the fair value measurement of a demand liability is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date; however, IFRS indicates the fair value cannot be less than the present value of the amount payable on demand.
Quantitative sensitivity analysis information for financial instruments categorized within Level 3 is required by IFRS, regardless of whether it's a public or non-public entity.
Additional disclosures: various differences such as the net presentation of derivatives allowed under U.S. GAAP but not allowed under IFRS, and other disclosure exemptions for non-public entities allowed under U.S. GAAP which are not recognized under IFRS.
Overall, there have been great strides made to ensure the comparability of fair value measurement under U.S. GAAP and IFRS, but, as always, there are still some wrinkles to iron out. What we expect to see in the horizon are more joint ASUs and IAS. There are several joint projects on the horizon between the FASB and IASB that may have an impact on private investment funds, most notably an exposure draft due out in the third quarter of 2011 on consolidation that will address investments in investment companies as described in this article. We will keep you apprised of new developments as the Boards continue to institute new convergence projects.

Q: How to remove duplicate nodes based on their children? Suppose I have the following sequence:
<node-1> <children-A attr="100" /> </node-1>
<node-1> <children-A attr="200" /> </node-1>     <!--not a duplicate -->
<node-1> <children-B /> </node-1>
<node-1> <children-B /> </node-1>                <!-- duplicate off the above -->
<node-1> <children-A /> <children-B /> </node-1> <!--not a duplicate -->

I want to obtain all unique "node-1" so that the output would be:
<node-1> <children-A attr="100" /> </node-1>
<node-1> <children-A attr="200" /> </node-1>
<node-1> <children-B /> </node-1>
<node-1> <children-A /> <children-B /> </node-1>

NOTE: only <node-1> <children-B /> </node-1> has been removed.
Using Saxon 9.1.0.8, I've tried distinct-value($S) but the return type is xs:anyAtomicType and I don't know how to cast it to a proper sequence (if that's even possible!).
I am, however, able to use count(distinct-value($S)) to check if the number of elements returned match the actual number of unique elements, and in fact it does match.

A: Using http://www.xsltfunctions.com/xsl/functx_distinct-deep.html (which in turn uses http://www.xsltfunctions.com/xsl/functx_is-node-in-sequence-deep-equal.html which in turn uses the XSLT/XPath 2.0 function deep-equal) you could use <xsl:variable name="distinct-seq" select="functx:distinct-deep($your-sequence)"/>.
Or if you don't want or can't include the functx library you would need to use its code in
<xsl:variable name="distinct-seq"
  select="for $pos in (1 to count($your-sequence))
          return $your-sequence[$pos]
                               [not(some $node in $your-sequence[position() lt $pos] satisfies deep-equal(., $node))]"/>

A: This is actually an XPath 2.0 question.
Use:
   for $vN in /*/*
     return
        $vN[not(/*/*[. >> $vN and deep-equal(., $vN)])]

XSLT 2.0 - based verification:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

 <xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:sequence select=
  "for $vN in /*/*
     return
        $vN[not(/*/*[. >> $vN and deep-equal(., $vN)])]

  "/>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When this transformation is applied on the following XML document (the provided fragment wrapped into a single top element):
<t>
 <node-1> <children-A attr="100" /> </node-1>
 <node-1> <children-A attr="200" /> </node-1>
 <node-1> <children-B /> </node-1>
 <node-1> <children-B /> </node-1>
 <node-1> <children-A /> <children-B /> </node-1>
</t>

the wanted, correct result is produced:
<node-1>
   <children-A attr="100"/>
</node-1>
<node-1>
   <children-A attr="200"/>
</node-1>
<node-1>
   <children-B/>
</node-1>
<node-1>
   <children-A/>
   <children-B/>
</node-1>

250 years ago the composer Max Bruch died. His remarkably long life of 82 years covered a period in contemporary history that was determined by scientific progress and comprehensive industrialization, developments that also found expression in art. Shortly after the turn of the century the scandals concerning the compositions by Igor Stravinsky and Arnold Schoenberg were already rocking the musical world, however, Bruch met the tide of events as stoically as a rock: conservative, patriotic and above all unconditionally beholden to Romanticism in music. The present program was recorded during a Max Bruch Jubilee Concert in Halle and focused besides the famous Suite on Russian Themes also on the rarely performed Concerto for 2 pianos and orchestra.

My boyfriend (bless him) played the song for me while on vacation in Denver, saying "babe, there's a song on Sirius that I think would be perfect for your spin classes." Once I heard it, I loved it and agreed that it would rock in my classes. Then I started seeing all these videos of the 'Harlem Shake' on YouTube ("about 195,000 results") that honestly just left me puzzled. I just didn't get why there were so many versions streaming online. Flash mobs and "Call Me Maybe" dances I get as they are mind blowing, entertaining, and quite funny. But, people in offices wearing masks doing awkward dance moves? Hmmm….I am trying so hard to get it…just cannot!
Now…I am entertained, blown away, and have found a new obsession :). If this is what the Harlem Shake really is and looks like, then PLEASE sign me up NOW! I am obsessed with the girl in the green shirt. She CAN move and I want to move like her! HOLY MOLY WOW! Who agrees with me?
I'll admit that after seeing this video, I'm much more motivated to create my version of the Harlem Shake. Anyone else with me and interested? If so, please comment below or let me know when you come to class.
One last thing: my goal is to locate the girl in the green shirt to teach us all everything she knows…now are you in?

Idaho's Tomas Sholl Earns ECHL Goalie of The Week
Idaho Steelhead goalie Tomas Sholl has started the season on fire and as a result has been named the ECHL Goalie of the Week.
Sholl went 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a save percentage of .958 in two appearances at Utah last week.
The 25-year-old turned aside 30 shots in a 3-2 season-opening win on Friday and made 39 saves in a 3-1 victory on Saturday.
Under contract with Texas of the American Hockey League, Sholl has appeared in 60 career ECHL games with Idaho and Adirondack with an overall record of 42-12-4 with seven shutouts, a 2.00 goals-against average and a save percentage of .935.

Study finds clergy sexual misconduct widespread: Several themes emerge
In any given congregation with 400 adult members, seven women on average have been victims of clergy sexual misconduct since they turned 18, a new national study reveals.
"We knew anecdotally that clergy sexual misconduct with adults is a huge problem, but we were surprised it is so prevalent across all denominations, all religions, all faith groups, all across the country," said lead researcher Diana Garland, dean of the Baylor University School of Social Work. "Clergy sexual misconduct is no respecter of denominations."
The study revealed that more than 3 percent of adult women who had attended a church in the past month reported that a religious leader had made sexual advances to them. Research found that 92 percent of those sexual advances were made in secret, and 67 percent of the offenders were married to someone else.
Oct 20, 2009 issue
"This is not simply [about having] an affair. It is an abuse of power," Garland said. The findings were drawn from questions included in the 2008 General Social Survey, a random sampling of 3,559 American adults conducted by the Chicago-based National Opinion Research Center.
In addition, research included phone interviews with more than 80 people. They included 46 people who had been victims of clergy sexual misconduct as adults, representing 17 Christian denominations and branches of Judaism.
The phone interviewees also included 15 secondary victims of clergy sexual abuse—spouses, friends and church staff members not involved in the victimization—and 21 experts, such as caregivers for survivors.
"When it was happening to me, I felt confused and isolated," said Carolyn Waterstradt, a survivor of sexual misconduct who took part in the research. "Now I know that many others have struggled with this, and that there is hope for putting systems in place to help prevent it from happening."
The Baylor team has worked to draft model legislation to make the offenses illegal in the same way that relationships with patients and clients are illegal for other helping professionals, such as doctors and lawyers. At present only Texas and Minnesota have statutes to guard against clergy sexual misconduct.
"This is the largest scientific study into clergy sexual misconduct with adults," Garland said. "We hope these findings will prompt congregations to consider adopting policies and procedures designed to protect their members from leaders who abuse their power."
Most offenders identified by interview subjects were male, but two were female. Offenses included both heterosexual and homosexual misbehavior. While incidents of clergy sexual misconduct occurred in a wide variety of congregations, some themes emerged, Garland noted:
•	Warning signs ignored. In some instances, congregations "see it happening and don't know how to name it," she said. Congregations lack the ability to categorize what they witness.
•	A culture of niceness. Particularly in the context of religious communities, people are careful not to hurt anyone's feelings and are expected to give others the benefit of the doubt and to overlook incidents that might cause embarrassment.
•	Ease of private communication. In the past, family members knew when letters arrived or phone messages were left for other family members. With e-mail and cell phones, clergy can conduct intimate conversations with congregants without others' knowledge.
•	Lack of oversight. Religious leaders seldom have to report to anyone for their time and may move freely within a community without being suspected of inappropriate activity.
•	Multiple roles. Beyond their role in providing spiritual direction in times of crisis, some religious leaders enter into long-term counseling relationships that can create vulnerability and dependency.
•	Trust in the sanctuary. "We call it a sanctuary because it's supposed to be a safe place. We trust leaders to tell us the truth," Garland noted. But some clergy abuse that trust, using their religious authority to prey upon members of their congregations.
"Because many people are familiar with some of the high-profile cases of sexual misconduct, most people assume that it is just a matter of a few charismatic leaders preying on vulnerable followers," Garland said.
The research was supported by a Southern Baptist commission and the Ford Foundation, among other organizations. The findings will be published later this year in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion.
"Now that we have a better understanding of the problem, we can start looking at prevention strategies," Garland said.
The Baylor School of Social Work has produced resources, including a sample code of ethics for congregations and ministers to consider adopting, and a set of strategies for preventing clergy sexual misconduct, which are posted online. –Ken Camp, Associated Baptist Press

When sheet or strip is rolled, it is not exactly straight from end to end. If a coil was unrolled along an absolutely straight stretch of highway, it would be found to wander from side to side or in some cases, run off the road completely. This deflection to the left and right is called camber. It is measured as the amount of left or right deflection in 8-feet. As it relates to plates is the horizontal edge curvature in the length, measured over the entire length of the plate in the flat position.
A dished distortion in a flat or nearly flat surface, sometimes referred to as oil-canning.
A compound of carbon with one or more metallic elements.
Carbide Precipitation:
In 300 series stainless steel, Chromium reacts with Carbon in the temperature range of 800° to 1500°F causing "sensitization". This reaction is generally considered to be detrimental to corrosion resistance because of the Chromium content decrease in the grain area adjacent to the grain boundaries.
Carbon Steels
Steel which owes its properties chiefly to carbon without substantial amounts of other alloying elements. Also known as straight carbon steel or plain carbon steel. It is classified as carbon steel when the maximum content does not exceed the following percentages
Carburizing
A process in which an austenitized ferrous material is brought into contact with a carbonaceous atmosphere having sufficient carbon potential to cause absorption of carbon at the surface and, by diffusion, create a concentration gradient.
Iron containing more carbon than the solubility limit in austenite (about 2%).
(1) An object at or near finished shape obtained by solidification of a substance in a mold. (2) Pouring molten metal into a mold to produce an object of desired shape.
A casting made by pouring metal into a mold that is rotated or revolved.
Charpy Test
A pendulum-type single-blow impact test in which the specimen usually notched, is supported at both ends as a simple beam and broken by a falling pendulum. The energy absorbed, as determined by the subsequent rise of the pendulum, is a measure of impact strength or notch toughness.
Surface condition characterized by a series of close spaced lines across the strip width; generally caused by vibration in the mill rolls.
Chemical Content or Analysis
A breakdown of elements present by percent of weight in metals or alloys. Although the ladle analysis is certified at the time of melting, additional analyses may be performed throughout the steel producing process.
Chemical Milling
Removing metal stock by controlled selective chemical etching.
Chemical symbol Cr. Element No. 24 of the periodic system; atomic weight 52.01. It is of bright silvery color, relatively hard. It is strongly resistant to atmospheric and other oxidation. It is of great value in the manufacture of Stainless Steel as an iron-base alloy. Chromium plating has also become a large outlet for the metal. Its principal functions as an alloy in steel making; (1) increases resistance to corrosion and oxidation (2) increases harden-ability (3) adds some strength at high temperatures (4) resists abrasion and wear (with high carbon).
Chromium Carbide
One of a number of compounds of chromium and carbon, with or without limited amounts of other metallic elements when occurring in steel, appearing as separated phase in chromium steels and stainless steels.
Chromizing
A surface treatment at elevated temperature, generally carried out in pack, vapor, or salt bath, in which an alloy is formed by the inward diffusion of chromium into the base metal.
Classification of Stainless Steels
Stainless steels are classified into five distinct groups, namely
Cluster Mill
A rolling mill where each of the two working rolls of small diameter is supported by two or more back-up rolls.
Chemical symbol Co. Element No. 27 of the periodic system; atomic weight 58.94. A gray magnetic metal, of medium hardness; it resists corrosion like nickel, which it resembles closely; melting point 2696°F.; specific gravity 8.9. It is used as the matrix metal in most cemented carbides and is occasionally electroplated instead of nickel, the sulfate being used as electrolyte. Its principal function as an alloy in tool steel; it contributes to red hardness by hardening ferrite.
Coil Breaks
Surface condition characterized by a series of wide spaced lines generally caused by reels used in uncoiling.
Coil Set
Almost all coils will display coil set when unbanded, except for very thin or very soft material. Because most coils are delivered with inside diameters of less than two feet, coil set resulting from bending to these diameters will be introduced even if the coil was "dead-flat" before recoiling at the mill or slitter. Mill capability is 6″ maximum in a 3-foot length.
Coining
A process of impressing images or characters of the die and punch onto a plain metal surface.
Cold Reduced Strip
Metal strip, produced from hot-rolled strip, by rolling on a cold reduction mill.
Cold Working
Plastic deformation, such as rolling, hammering, drawing, etc., at a temperature sufficiently low to create strain-hardening (work-hardening). Commonly, the term refers to such deformation at normal temperatures.
Concast/continuous casting method
Concast is an abbreviation for continuous cast, a molding process developed as an alternative to the ingot casting method. In continuous casting, the mold is made of copper and is water-cooled to remove heat from the molten steel. As the metal passes through the water-cooled mold, it forms a solid shell on the outside while the inside is still full of liquid steel. This shell passes out the bottom of the copper mold and into a spray chamber where water is directed against it, removing more and more of the heat from the steel and causing it to solidify from the edge toward the center until it is completely solidified. This solidified slab passes out upon a roller conveyor where it is cut to the lengths desired for hot rolling.
The removal of surface defects (seams, laps, pits, etc.).
Continuous Annealing
The process where coils are unwound and run continuously through an annealing furnace at prescribed speeds and softening temperatures.
Continuous Pickling
Passing sheet or strip metal continuously through a series of pickling and washing tanks.
Continuous Strip Mill
A series of synchronized rolling mill stands in which coiled flat- rolled metal entering the first pass (or stand) moves in a straight line and is continuously reduced in thickness (not width) at each subsequent pass. The finished strip is recoiled upon leaving the final or finishing pass.
Controlled Atmosphere Furnaces
A furnace used for bright annealing into which specially prepared gases are introduced for the purpose of maintaining a neutral atmosphere so that no oxidizing reaction between metal and atmosphere takes place.
Cores are thick cardboard sleeves that hold light gauges coils in the same way that thin cardboard sleeves hold Aluminum wrap in your home. The cardboard used with steels is about 3/4 inch thick and is extremely strong. Light-gauge material is frequently wrapped onto cores to prevent the coils from collapsing in transit. The use of cores also prevents damage to the wraps on the inside diameter by crane hooks or fork truck forks.
Destruction of metal by chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment; simply said, "eating away of metals".
Corrosion Embrittlement
The embrittlement caused in certain alloys by exposure to a corrosive environment. Such material is usually susceptible to the intergranular type of corrosion attack.
Corrosion Fatigue
Cracking produced by the combined action of repeated or fluctuating stress and a corrosive environment.
The ability of a metal to withstand attack in an environment that is conductive to chemical or electrochemical reaction.
Corrosion Resistance Alloys
These are materials which provide a higher degree of stress corrosion and/or chloride pitting resistance than that of common types 2XX, 3XX, or 4XX stainless steels. Corrosion resistant alloys are generally characterized by chrome content of at least 20% and/or moly content greater than 2%.
A piece of metal from which a test specimen is to be prepared – often an extra piece (as on a casting or forging) or a separate piece made for test purposes (such as a test weldment).
Critical Point
(1) The temperature or pressure at which a change in crystal structure, phase, or physical properties occurs. Same as transformation temperature. (2) In an equilibrium diagram, that specific value of composition, temperature and pressure, or combinations thereof, at which the phases of a heterogeneous systems are in equilibrium.
Cutting off ends of billets ingots or slabs containing pipe or other defects.
Cross Country Mill
A mill composed of several stands which are arranged in train or in two or more trains so that the piece being rolled reverses direction of travel two or more times before the finish. The trains of rolls are so far apart that the bar is engaged in only one stand at a time.
Cross Rolling
The rolling of sheet, plate or slabs so that the direction of rolling is changed 90 degrees from the direction of the previous rolling
Deviation from flat across the strip width.
Edge to edge thickness variation in flat rolled products. Crown is generally a smooth curve from the center of mill coil to within a few inches of the edge where thickness starts to drop or "feather" more rapidly. In narrow slit coils, crown will appear as a variation in thickness from coil to coil. On a half width slit coil or "split", wedged shaped cross sections occur, thicker on one side than on the other. .
A ceramic pot or receptacle made of graphite and clay, or clay or other refractory material, and used in the melting of metal. The term is sometimes applied to pots made of cast iron, cast steel or wrought steel.
Crucible Steel
High-carbon steel produced by melting blister steel in a covered crucible. Crucible steel was developed by Benjamin Huntsman in about 1750 and remained in use until the late 1940's.
Sub-zero temperature applications.
(1) A physically homogeneous solid in which the atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in a three-dimensional repetitive pattern. (2) A coherent piece of matter, all parts of which have the same anisotropic arrangement of atom; in metals, usually synonymous with grain and crystallite.
Cup Fracture
A type of fracture in a tensile test specimen which looks like a cup having the exterior portion extended with the interior slightly depressed.
The fracture of severely worked rods or wire where one end has the appearance of a cup and the other that of a cone.

I have a scenario with a website where starting a few months ago there was an entire URL restructuring of the entire website.
Ideally I'd like to use the native Google Analytics Connector in Tableau to extract 13 months of data to have a historical view of these URLs.
The problem lies within that the old URLs don't match the new URLs so when looking at a trended table/chart the data for the 'same' page do not line up.
However I don't think regular joining will work because I have to either join the GA Connector Page dimension to the Old or New URL in the lookup table and this doesn't do anything for me.
Is there a simple calculation I can create in the GA Connector Data Source where I lookup the Page dimension against my lookup table source and then output the NEW URL?
Just for reference [Page] = the new pages coming from the GA Connector and [Old Url] is obviously the old URL in my lookup table spreadsheet source.
I can ETL this outside of Tableau, but for this solution/project I would ideally like to avoid it.
Anyone encountered this or something similar and have any pointers?
I know you don't want to use external ETL tasks, but in this case it's the best way to fix the data. Tableau Desktop will want a field to join to get the data from the lookup table. In your ETL you can do conditional joining to change the format of the old URLs only.

A large expansion that will more than double the number of accommodations for families with sick children at Ronald McDonald House at Stanford will be open to the public for a rare view starting Saturday, Feb. 13 through Feb. 28, officials have announced.
Organizers said nothing of its kind has been attempted before. Each room was designed by 48 of the Bay Area's top interior designers through a partnership with the San Francisco Design Center and San Francisco Cottages and Gardens magazine. The collaboration of design firms involved thousands of hours and more than $3 million in free labor and materials and the input of the designers' husbands, wives, companions and children to create "Where Hope has a Home," officials said.
Visitors touring the interior, with its one-of-a-kind suites, community spaces, living room, play areas, cavernous kitchen and butterfly-themed dining room will perhaps pick up a few inspiring ideas for their own homes.
The new, 52,000-square-foot, three-story building at 510 Sand Hill Road will be among the largest of the 353 Ronald McDonald Houses in the world, said Annette Eros, CEO of Stanford's House.
With 67 suites plus the 47 at the older adjacent building, all families in need will likely be accommodated. Currently, about 40 to 50 families are on a waitlist each night. When the older building is repurposed, the Stanford Ronald McDonald House will have a total of 123 rooms.
The tours will be available Thursdays through Mondays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and tickets are $35 per person for attendees 12 years old and older with a $10 suggested donation for children younger that 12. All proceeds benefit the House at Stanford. It costs $123 per night to care for a family at Stanford's House. The $10 suggested donation for children under 12 to take the tour is the equivalent to the $10 per night requested donation for families staying at the House. But no family is ever turned away because they cannot pay, officials said.
Public viewing of Ronald McDonald House is rare, since keeping contamination to a minimum is important for the families and children with compromised immune systems. Once the facility opens, public access will be prohibited on the upper floors where the families will live, Eros said.
Rhonda Hirata of San Francisco Design Center brought the designers together.
"It was a leap of faith and it just worked," she said.
Beth Martin, volunteer project co-chair and principal at the Martin Group, Inc. agreed.
"This project has been such a labor of love. If I was asked today if I had to do it all over again, I absolutely would. This is what we live for -- to give back to the community," she said.
There aren't too many times when designers can collaborate, talk and share, Martin added.
"It's truly that we give this with so much love," Martin said.
Residents are greeted by a "hope tree" constructed of wood and with welcoming messages on its leaves. A living room is just beyond, with aged-wood synthetic plank flooring, big-screen televisions, books, a fireplace and a soft sofa and chairs in soothing sand and earth tones.
If residents are hungry, they can dine in a large, cheery dining room with nearly floor-to-ceiling windows and decorated in aubergine, light tawny wood tones and orange seating. There are padded booths in intimate nooks; long tables for groups and child-sized round tables with bright orange mini chairs.
Designer Kristi Will said she envisioned the dining room as a place for other activities, including bingo, meetings and music performances.
"I interviewed four families who said they sometimes come back from the hospital and feel like they are in a cafeteria," she said of the dining area in the older adjacent Ronald McDonald House.
A wall-sized monarch butterfly paper sculpture by San Francisco artist Jeff Nishinaka provides a natural focal point and sense of euphoria after long hours spent closed in behind hospital walls.
Children's spaces for every age group also dominate the ground floor. An aquatic-themed toddler playroom with sea lion bean-bag chairs includes a "sea wall" designed by Butler Armsden Architects with a crawl-space "sea cave" for toddlers and seating for adults. The youth room, also designed by Butler Armsden, features a play-and-dress-up fort that doubles as a puppet theater. Bold primary-color seating and accents draw children into the sun-infused room, which has large tables for game play and crafts, said Reba Jones, one of the firm's associate principals.
A small reading room decorated with fluffy faux-fur pillows and cut-paper-and-painted decals depicting the rolling hills and oaks of Palo Alto grace the room in soothing mint and natural colors.
Butler Armsden also designed a reading room that functions as a place for visits with counselors, co-designer Dave Swetz said. Low-slung mah jong chairs in bright patterns and colors of carmine, eggplant and golden umber are paired with similarly colored walls to provide a relaxed, warm vibe.
The teen lounge is perhaps the piece de resistance for the younger set, however. Designed by Allison Dehn Bloom of the firm Dehn Bloom, the vibrant room includes a wall-length Zio Ziegler street-art mural in black and white tribal, Pacific Island and African motifs, a custom-made surfboard table and denim-covered sofas with colorful patterned pillow and chairs and a pool table and Foosball. There are also high-backed rattan Victorian chairs for reading time.
Dehn Bloom, a self-proclaimed rule breaker, said she wanted to capture what it is like to be a teen in all of its layers.
"I wanted the room to connect with teens on an emotional level, to reflect the intensity of their inner lives, but also be a sort of haven for them," she said.
The upper two floors have common areas ranging from intimate nooks to a recreation room with a tumble of giant body-sized pillows for romping and playing or sitting on during programs. But these floors also contain the 67 bedrooms and suites of all different sizes, colors and designs.
Unlike hotels, these well-appointed rooms often feature day-bed nooks, an easy chair, study area or other homey features. Some rooms are outfitted with two double beds divided by a curtain for privacy; others have trundle beds for additional guests. The wall treatments alone offer a primer for do-it-yourself designers: from cork to fabric; faux-painted wood planks to giant decal murals, such as the colorful wall covering created from a large painting by children through the organization Paintbrush Diplomacy.
Bringing together the visions of 48 designers to create a cohesive whole took many hours of back and forth phone calls, said project Co-chair Geoffrey De Sousa of Geoffrey De Sousa Interior Design.
"They picked the room they wanted to design and we pulled together images of the direction we wanted: warm, California traditional, modern but not too dressy and standoffish," he said. "We went through every single presentation and had an overall vision."
To create, he said, at the end of the day, a welcoming place where residents can return "to handle the challenged and celebrate the triumphs of the day."
Free special events during the tours will include appearances by Genevieve Goings, host of Disney Junior's Choo-Choo Soul with Genevieve!, Mommy and Me hip-hop classes, breakfasts with designers, children's arts and crafts and happy-hour social gatherings on scheduled evenings.

A wonderful good news story.
So glad that the Ronald McDonald House is able to expand. It is an absolute gem that provides a warm, inviting, friendly environment to support ill children and their families.

Seems a little frivolous to open up a place of refuge and safety for some less fortunate families in order to give tours. But seeing as how the money goes to the house and the people who benefit from it, perhaps it is a good idea after all!

Frank Yale of Frankie Yale of Frankie Uale, geboren als Francesco Ioele, (Longobucco (Calabrië), 22 januari 1893 - New York, 1 juli 1928) was een Italiaans-Amerikaanse gangster uit Brooklyn, en voormalig baas van Al Capone voordat laatstgenoemde in Chicago zijn eigen bende oprichtte.

Yale was bevriend met Johnny Torrio, en toen die naar Chicago vertrok nam Yale de activiteiten in New York over. Zijn hoofdkwartier was in een bar in Brooklyn, de Harvard Inn. Tussen 1916 en 1919 was Capone actief met die bar als thuisbasis.

Yale was betrokken bij diverse aanslagen in Chicago, waaronder de moord op Dean O'Banion. Daarnaast werd Yale lange tijd verdacht van de moord op James "Big Jim" Colosimo. Wegens gebrek aan bewijs werd Yale uiteindelijk vrijgelaten. Telefoontaps, later vrijgegeven door de FBI stellen dat vermoedelijk Al Capone de trekker bij de moord op Colosimo heeft overgehaald. Later in de jaren twintig groeide het argwaan tussen Capone en Yale en op 1 juli 1928 werd Yale vermoord in Manhattan. Anderhalf jaar later werd het moordwapen, een tommygun, gevonden in een bungalow van Fred Burke. Dit was een huurmoordenaar die veel klussen deed voor Al Capone, waardoor vermoed werd dat Capone de opdrachtgever was. Beide mannen zijn echter nooit veroordeeld voor de moord op Yale.

Gareth Bale Set To Leave Real Madrid – Zidane
Oladipo Abiola
Bale Set For Madrid Exit
Real Madrid head coach, Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that Welsh winger, Gareth Bale might be departing the La Liga giants during the current transfer window.
According to Zidane who spoke after one of Madrid's pre-season games against German powerhouse, Bayern Munich on Saturday, the club is looking to offload the Welsh player.
Madrid lost 3-1 to Bayern during Saturday's International Champions Cup clash against Bayern Munich and Bale didn't feature in the game played in Houston.
Naija News, however, reports that the 30-year-old winger, still has three years left on his current contract. He is however already attracting interest from clubs like Tottenham, Manchester United, Saturday's opponent Bayern, as well as clubs from the Chinese league.
Answering a question on why Bale was left out of the squad on Saturday, Zidane told newsmen: "Bale did not play because he is very close to leaving.
"We hope he leaves soon, it would be best for everyone. We are working on his transfer to a new team."
The manager added that plans to ease the player out of the club was nothing personal but part of efforts to move the club forward following last season's disappointing results.
"I have nothing personal against him, but there comes a time where things are done because they must be done, I have to make decisions, we have to change."
"The exit is the coach's decision, and also of the player, who knows the situation.
"The situation will change, I do not know if in 24 or 48 hours, but it will, and it's a good thing for everyone."

Designer Kati Meyer-Brühl looked outside the living room for inspiration for the Mosspink sofa. The flowing, asymmetrical forms in the great outdoors provide the foundation for this sofa from Bruehl. The low-slung seating platform is soft and rounded to provide both a casual form and comfortable place to relax. To incorporate the organic shapes found in nature, the traditional backrest is replaced with randomly stacked elements that mimic pebbles on a riverbank.
The Mosspink sofa by Brühl design is as timeless as nature and yet modern in its minimalism and attention to shape. To finish the look, add the matching ottoman and low armchair. While the asymmetrical and rounded shapes may be commonplace outside in nature, the Mosspink sofa is unique and distinctive for its creative inspiration and simple beauty.
Bruehl carries the natural inspiration to its production as well as styling, using environmentally friendly construction to complement its rustic good looks. To finish the design, choose from the range of wool, cotton, or leather upholstery paired with either aluminum or wooden feet painted black, white, or left natural. The Mosspink sofa is a modern and subtle way to bring the outdoors into your home. With a few personalized touches, the Mosspink sofa will be your very own comfortable classic. It's an ideal lifestyle piece that's causal and stylish for your everyday experience. Are you ready to be inspired by nature — without ever leaving your living room?

The final journey of the Pandavas to heaven
After Shri Krishna leaves the mortal world and goes back to his Vaikunth Dhaam, the Pandavas too decide that the time for them to leave the world has come too. Yudhishtir crowns his grandson Parikshit as the king of Hastinapur under the care of Yuyuts, the noble Kaurava brother and all the Pandavas along with Draupadi leave on their journey to heaven.
During their walk in the Himalayas, a dog requests Yudhisthir to join them and he agrees and all start walking. While crossing the Himalayas, first Druapadi falls tired and dies. After sometime, Nakul falls down and later Sahadev. The three brothers along with the dog continue their journey, but at a certaim point Arjun falls down and then Bheem. Only Yudhisthir is left and he continues the journey with the dog.
Finally, he reaches heaven and all the celestials welcome him. They welcome him and ask him to enter the heavens, but without the dog. Yudhisthir refuses on the ground saying that the dog was his loyal companion from Earth till heaven and he did not want a place in haven without a place the dog. At that time, the dog takes the original form of Yamraj, the god of death appears and blesses Yudhisthir that all this was a test for the Dharma of Yudhisthir. Then, Yudhishtir enters heaven and is surprised to see Duryodhan there and even surprised to see that none of his brothers and Draupadi was present in heaven. When he asks the Devas the reason for their brothers and Draupadi's absence, the Devas says that they were in hell suffering for their mistakes. Surprised, Yudhisthir asks them what their mistakes were. Then the Devas mentions that as Draupadi was partial to Arjun, she first fell. Sahadev took pride for his intelligence and Nakul for his beauty and hence the twins fell next. Although Arjun was a great warrior, it was the power of Shri Krishna which made him so, but as he had a slight tinge of pride in him as an archer, he had to succumb. As Bheem was proud of strength of thousand elephants, he fell too. It was only Yudhisthir who never took pride in spite of all virtues and who never left Dharma and hence he did not have any obstacles in reaching Heaven.
Then Yudhisthir asks the reason as to why Duryodhan was in heaven in spite of being a sinner. The Devas reply as he had left his life following the Kshatriya Dharma as a warrior in the battlefield, he could reach heaven. Yudhisthir listens to this and requests the Devas to get back his brothers. But, the Devas refuse that they had to undergo their punishment for the sins. Then Yudhisthir mentions that he would not like to enjoy the comforts of the heaven while his brothers rotted in hell and requests Yam Raj to take him where his brothers are, as he believed that where his brothers and wife were there, there lied his heaven.
The Devas are immensely pleased with the selflessness of Yudhishtir and mentions to him that his selfless act has redeemed all the small sins of his brothers and says that this was just a test to see the virtuousness of Yudhisthir and the Pandavas were already in heaven waiting for their brother. Yudhishtir happily reunites with his brothers in heaven. This story is one of the great ones which speak volumes about the virtuous Yudhisthir who did not think twice to refuse even the heavens for his family and brothers.

Q: How to make a Button using the tkinter Canvas widget? I want to obtain a button out of a Canvas. I've tried to pack the canvas in the button widget, but that didn't work. Googling a bit, I've found (here: How do you create a Button on a tkinter Canvas?) that the Canvas method create_window might help. But there should be something wrong in the way I'm using it.
import Tkinter

DIM = 100

root = Tkinter.Tk()
frame = Tkinter.Frame(root)

button = Tkinter.Button(None, width=DIM, height=DIM, command=root.quit)

circle = Tkinter.Canvas(frame, width=DIM, height=DIM)
circle.create_oval(5, 5, DIM-5, DIM-5, fill="red")
circle.create_window(0, 0, window=button)

frame.grid()
circle.grid(row=1, column=1)

root.mainloop()

If I erase the create_window line, I can se my painting but I can't (obviously) click on it. But in this way, the button widget cover my circle and shows a sad empty button.
Basically, I want to create a button with a red circle painted inside.

A: What you can do is bind the canvas to the mouse:
import Tkinter

DIM = 100

root = Tkinter.Tk()
frame = Tkinter.Frame(root)

circle = Tkinter.Canvas(frame)
circle.create_oval(5, 5, DIM-5, DIM-5, fill="red")

frame.grid()
circle.grid(row=1, column=1)

##################################
def click(event):
    root.quit()

circle.bind("<Button-1>", click)
##################################

root.mainloop()

Now, if a user clicks inside the canvas, function click will be called (essentially, the canvas has now been made a button).
Notice though that function click will be called if a user clicks anywhere in the canvas.  If you want to make it so that click is only called when a user clicks in the circle, you can use event.x and event.y to get a hold of the x and y coordinates of the click.  Once you have those, you can run a calculation to determine whether those coordinates are within the circle.  Here is a reference on that.

A: Tkinter doesn't allow you to directly draw on widgets other than the canvas, and canvas drawings will always be below embedded widgets.
The simple solution is to create the effect of a button using just the canvas. There's really nothing special about doing this: just create a canvas, then add bindings for ButtonPress and ButtonRelease to simulate a button being pressed.
Here's a rough idea:
class CustomButton(tk.Canvas):
    def __init__(self, parent, width, height, color, command=None):
        tk.Canvas.__init__(self, parent, borderwidth=1,
            relief="raised", highlightthickness=0)
        self.command = command

        padding = 4
        id = self.create_oval((padding,padding,
            width+padding, height+padding), outline=color, fill=color)
        (x0,y0,x1,y1)  = self.bbox("all")
        width = (x1-x0) + padding
        height = (y1-y0) + padding
        self.configure(width=width, height=height)
        self.bind("<ButtonPress-1>", self._on_press)
        self.bind("<ButtonRelease-1>", self._on_release)

    def _on_press(self, event):
        self.configure(relief="sunken")

    def _on_release(self, event):
        self.configure(relief="raised")
        if self.command is not None:
            self.command()

To complete the illusion you'll want to set a binding on <Enter> and <Leave> (to simulate the active state), and also make sure that the cursor is over the button on a button release -- notice how real buttons don't do anything if you move the mouse away before releasing.
