Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet; Nd:Y3Al5O12) is a crystal that is used as a lasing medium for solid-state lasers. The dopant, triply ionized neodymium, Nd(III),  typically replaces a small fraction (1%) of the yttrium ions in the host crystal structure of the yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), since the two ions are of similar size. It is the neodymium ion which provides the lasing activity in the crystal, in the same fashion as red chromium ion in ruby lasers.

Laser operation of Nd:YAG was first demonstrated by J.E. Geusic et al. at Bell Laboratories in 1964.

Technology

Nd:YAG lasers are optically pumped using a flashtube or laser diodes. These are one of the most common types of laser, and are used for many different applications.
Nd:YAG lasers typically emit light with a wavelength of 1064 nm, in the infrared. However, there are also transitions near 946, 1120, 1320, and 1440 nm.  Nd:YAG lasers operate in both pulsed and continuous mode. Pulsed Nd:YAG lasers are typically operated in the so-called Q-switching mode: An optical switch is inserted in the laser cavity waiting for a maximum population inversion in the neodymium ions before it opens. Then the light wave can run through the cavity, depopulating the excited laser medium at maximum population inversion. In this Q-switched mode, output powers of 250 megawatts and pulse durations of 10 to 25 nanoseconds have been achieved. The high-intensity pulses may be efficiently frequency doubled to generate laser light at 532 nm, or higher harmonics at 355, 266 and 213 nm.

Nd:YAG absorbs mostly in the bands between 730–760 nm and 790–820 nm. At low current densities krypton flashlamps have higher output in those bands than do the more common xenon lamps, which produce more light at around 900 nm. The former are therefore more efficient for pumping Nd:YAG lasers.

The amount of the neodymium dopant in the material varies according to its use. For continuous wave output, the doping is significantly lower than for pulsed lasers. The lightly doped CW rods can be optically distinguished by being less colored, almost white, while higher-doped rods are pink-purplish.

Other common host materials for neodymium are: YLF (yttrium lithium fluoride, 1047 and 1053 nm), YVO4 (yttrium orthovanadate, 1064 nm), and glass. A particular host material is chosen in order to obtain a desired combination of optical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Nd:YAG lasers and variants are pumped either by flashtubes, continuous gas discharge lamps, or near-infrared laser diodes (DPSS lasers). Prestabilized laser (PSL) types of Nd:YAG lasers have proved to be particularly useful in providing the main beams for gravitational wave interferometers such as LIGO, VIRGO, GEO600 and TAMA.

Applications

Medicine

Nd:YAG lasers are used in ophthalmology to correct posterior capsular opacification, after cataract surgery, for peripheral iridotomy in patients with chronic and acute angle-closure glaucoma, where it has largely superseded surgical iridectomy, for the treatment of vitreous eye floaters, for pan-retinal photocoagulation in the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and to damage the retina in ophthalmology animal research.

Nd:YAG lasers emitting light at 1064 nm have been the most widely used laser for laser-induced thermotherapy, in which benign or malignant lesions in various organs are ablated by the beam.

In oncology, Nd:YAG lasers can be used to remove skin cancers. They are also used to reduce benign thyroid nodules, and to destroy primary and secondary malignant liver lesions.

To treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Nd:YAG lasers can be used for laser prostate surgery—a form of transurethral resection of the prostate.

These lasers are also used extensively in the field of cosmetic medicine for laser hair removal and the treatment of minor vascular defects such as spider veins on the face and legs. Nd:YAG lasers are also used to treat venous lake lip lesions. Recently Nd:YAG lasers have been used for treating dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, a rare skin disease.

Using hysteroscopy the Nd:YAG laser has been used for removal of uterine septa within the inside of the uterus.

In podiatry, the Nd:YAG laser is being used to treat onychomycosis, which is fungus infection of the toenail. The merits of laser treatment of these infections are not yet clear, and research is being done to establish effectiveness.

Dentistry
Nd:YAG dental lasers have been used for the removal of dental caries as an alternative to drill therapy, although evidence supporting its use is of low quality. They have also been used for soft tissue surgeries in the oral cavity, such as gingivectomy, periodontal sulcular debridement, LANAP, and pulpotomy. Nd:YAG dental lasers have also been shown to be effective at treating and preventing dental hypersensitivity, as an adjunct for periodontal instrumentation, and for the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

Manufacturing
Nd:YAG lasers are used in manufacturing for engraving, etching, or marking a variety of metals and plastics, or for metal surface enhancement processes like laser peening. They are extensively used in manufacturing for cutting and welding steel, semiconductors and various alloys. For automotive applications (cutting and welding steel) the power levels are typically 1–5 kW.  Super alloy drilling (for gas turbine parts) typically uses pulsed Nd:YAG lasers (millisecond pulses, not Q-switched). Nd:YAG lasers are also employed to make subsurface markings in transparent materials such as glass or acrylic glass.  Lasers of up to 2 kW are used for selective laser melting of metals in additive layered manufacturing. In aerospace applications, they can be used to drill cooling holes for enhanced air flow/heat exhaust efficiency.

Nd:YAG lasers are also used in the non-conventional rapid prototyping process laser engineered net shaping (LENS).

Laser peening typically uses a high energy (10 to 40 joule) 10 to 30 nanosecond pulse. The laser beam is focused down to a few millimeters in diameter to deposit gigawatts of power on the surface of a part. Laser peening is unlike other manufacturing processes in that it neither heats or adds material; it is a mechanical process of cold working the metallic component to impart compressive residual stresses. Laser peening is widely used in gas-fired turbine engines in both aerospace and power generation to increase strength and improve resistance to damage and metal fatigue.

Fluid dynamics

Nd:YAG lasers can be used for flow visualization techniques in fluid dynamics (for example particle image velocimetry or laser-induced fluorescence).

Biophysics

Nd:YAG lasers are frequently used to build optical tweezers for biological applications. This is because Nd:YAG lasers mostly emit at a wavelength of 1064 nm. Biological samples have a low absorption coefficient at this wavelength, as biological samples are usually mostly made up of water.
 As such, using an Nd:YAG laser minimizes the damage to the biological sample being studied.

Automotive
Researchers from Japan's National Institutes of Natural Sciences are developing laser igniters that use YAG chips to ignite fuel in an engine, in place of a spark plug. The lasers use several 800 picosecond long pulses to ignite the fuel, producing faster and more uniform ignition. The researchers say that such igniters could yield better performance and fuel economy, with fewer harmful emissions.

Military

The Nd:YAG laser is the most common laser used in laser designators and laser rangefinders.

During the Iran–Iraq War, Iranian soldiers suffered more than 4000 cases of laser eye injury, caused by a variety of Iraqi sources including tank rangefinders. The 1064 nm wavelength of Nd:YAG is thought to be particularly dangerous, as it is invisible and initial exposure is painless.

The Chinese ZM-87 blinding laser weapon uses a laser of this type, though only 22 have been produced due to their prohibition by the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. North Korea is reported to have used one of these weapons against American helicopters in 2003.

Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS)
The Nd:YAG may be used in the application of cavity ring-down spectroscopy, which is used to measure the concentration of some light-absorbing substance.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)

A range of Nd:YAG lasers are used in analysis of elements in the periodic table. Though the application by itself is fairly new with respect to conventional methods such as XRF or ICP, it has proven to be less time consuming and a cheaper option to test element concentrations. A high-power Nd:YAG laser is focused onto the sample surface to produce plasma. Light from the plasma is captured by spectrometers and the characteristic spectra of each element can be identified, allowing concentrations of elements in the sample to be measured.

Laser pumping

Nd:YAG lasers, mainly via their second and third harmonics, are widely used to excite dye lasers either in the liquid or solid state.  They are also used as pump sources for vibronically broadened solid-state lasers such as Cr4+:YAG or via the second harmonic for pumping Ti:sapphire lasers.

Additional frequencies
For many applications, the infrared light is frequency-doubled or -tripled using nonlinear optical materials such as lithium triborate to obtain visible (532 nm, green) or ultraviolet light. Cesium lithium borate generates the 4th and 5th harmonics of the Nd:YAG 1064 nm fundamental wavelength. A green laser pointer is a frequency doubled Nd:YVO4 diode-pumped solid state laser (DPSS laser). Nd:YAG can be also made to lase at its non-principal wavelength. The line at 946 nm is typically employed in "blue laser pointer" DPSS lasers, where it is doubled to 473 nm.

Probably I have a conflict between a ScrollView and a ViewPager.
UPDATE
Solution with ScrollViews in fragments is nice, but I want something like that:

User can't see tabs content in second screenshot.

A: Do you really need to have a view pager inside a scrollview? My suggestion is to use scrollviews as layout containers for the fragments of the viewpager.

A: I think you should change your layout in this way:
as you do not have any widget inside the scrollView and i think everything is in your fragment layouts  move your scroll view to the layout of every fragment that you send to the viewpager and make it as a root . so in this way every fragment scroll vertically and you can also change them by viewpager.
Hope help !

Weekly update: Teen Titans, go!
4 February 2019 CJ	Leave a comment
Greetings, Gothamites!
Happy February! I saw this tweet late last month and it speaks to me on a deep level.
This week I've started watching both season three of True Detective and the limited series I Am the Night. They both seem quite promising at episodes two and one respectively. I'm looking forward to continuing on with them and will update you on them as I finish them.
Here's what else I've been up to this week:
TV — Titans: Season One
Alrighty, strap yourselves in, Gothamites, I have a lot to say about this one.
This is the comic book TV show that I never knew I needed. Titans does a fantastic job of creating a Teen Titans origin story that is gritty and realistic — well, as realistic as a show can be when it features aliens, shape shifters and other super-powered beings.
As an obviously huge fan of Batman, and DC Comics in general, I love the stories of the Robins. Titans does a fantastic job of creating a believable Dick Grayson. Dick has rebelled against Batman to go out on his own in a new town, but in so many ways he is the spitting image of Bruce. This is especially noticeable in the way he deals with relationships, both romantic and platonic.
The cameos are fantastic. Most of them are in the episode titles, but at the risk of giving away too many spoilers, I will just say that there was not a single cameo that I didn't feel was given the justice it deserved. … Except Batman/Bruce Wayne. I can understand why the character was made to be separate and distanced, but sometimes it just tries too hard and comes across as ridiculous.
Kory Anders is brought to life in such a great way, both in terms of acting and special effects. I love that Rachel and Gar are shown as slightly younger characters, still trying to find themselves. In fact, their superhero names have both been alluded to but neither have yet taken on their pseudonyms, despite Robin being a known alias and Starfire mentioned at least once.
The action in Titans is non-stop and the team faces a challenge at every turn, which feels perfectly comic book-like. I cannot wait until next season because — be warned, Gothamites — this one ends on a hell of a cliffhanger.
Book — Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero (2017)
Trigger warning: suicide.
In Meddling Kids Edgar Cantero answers the question 'what happens when the monsters are real?'
And he does it with plenty of references to pop culture — in particular, and perhaps most obviously, teen sleuths such as Scooby Doo. I must admit, Meddling Kids first caught my eye because of the title's Scooby Doo homage. I wasn't sure if that would carry through to the novel well, but it really did.
The writing is very meta, which further adds to the enjoyment level of the story. The monsters aren't all physical monsters, though there are plenty of those, but also monsters like mental illness, repressed sexuality, depression, substance abuse and suicide.
Meddling Kids is an enjoyable book with a fun plot, plenty of dark humour and a great cast of characters. Highly recommend for fans of Scooby Doo, Enid Blyton's Famous Five, Supernatural and Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.
Film — Malevolent (2018)
Malevolent is a tried and true story of frauds who eventually meet their comeuppances, much like Brothers Grimm. But that doesn't mean it's not an enjoyable take on the haunted house story with a good, if somewhat predictable, twist at the end. It's nothing memorable, but it's an entertaining 90 minutes of horror nonetheless.
Film — Dracano (2013)
I love watching Corin Nemec in SyFy and other b-grade natural horror movies and Dracano did not disappoint in that regard. While there was a lot of talk about the volcanos erupting and that causing a mass dragon epidemic, I felt there were not enough appearances by the aforementioned dragons.
It's understandable keeping the monsters under wraps in more refined horror to avoid overexposure. But in a film like Dracano, where it is obviously b-grade cheesiness at its finest, I want to see the monsters and their grisly fake blood-drenched effect on humanity frequently — see the Sharknado series for examples.
Despite stingy use of dragons, Dracano still manages to be a fun b-grade horror flick with hilarious dialogue, cheesy special effects and laughable dialogue.
Film — A Cure for Wellness (2016)
Trigger warning: suicide, attempted rape, and incest.
I remember when A Cure for Wellness was released in cinemas, I wanted to go see it as the trailer looked like it could be an interesting "insidious institution" romp. But I never had the chance as it had a pretty short run. I can see why now. At nearly two and a half hours long, this film is as bloated as it is confused, disgusting and boring. But the film never feels like two and a half hours … oh, no, Gothamites … it feels so. much. longer.
I have been watching #ACureForWellness for 17 years and I still have 45 minutes to go. pic.twitter.com/hmFQknbEVZ
— CJ Dee (@Kinestra) February 3, 2019
Visually, A Cure for Wellness is breathtaking in its gothic beauty. That's about as far as I can get praising it. The acting is dull and unconvincing. The story in convoluted and takes far too long to amount to the most obvious plot points. There are plot points and characters that are brought in and obsessed over, but ultimately don't result to anything and aren't explained. They're not even red herrings. They're just shoved in there. The characters who do have purpose are uninteresting and unlikeable. And the lead male makes some of the stupidest decisions in horror movie history … pretty much every time he has to make a decision.
If there were tighter editing and superfluous plot points were removed, I'm not saying it would make A Cure for Wellness a good film, but it would certainly make it shorter which couldn't hurt it at all.
It has been a long time since I've seen a horror film this painfully uninteresting and I truly hope it is a long time before I see another.
Film — Mary Queen of Scots (2018)
Mary Queen of Scots sees Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie give magnificent performances despite a plot that fundamentally shows two queens squabbling while groups of men cross one of them at every opportunity. I'm not saying it's not accurate, but I did find watching the continuous back and forth became tedious.
As a whole, I found Mary Queen of Scots to be interesting, but not particularly entertaining. I don't see this being a particularly memorable film, but it would be worth a watch for viewers who love period dramas and monarchy dramas. Assuming there's nothing else on.
Film — Glass (2019)
Personally, I was disappointed by Glass. As the final instalment to a series that brought us Unbreakable and Split, both of which are thoroughly enjoyable, I expected more. Glass starts off really well, has a doldrum middle, picks up towards the end with a fascinating twist and then ends on an unnecessary note that feels forced.
Props to the actors though who have all done great jobs of portraying their characters. In particular, James McAvoy doubles down on the brilliance he showed in Split and gives a stellar performance.
It's worth watching if you've seen the first two films in M. Night Shyamalan's trilogy, but it's by no means the best of the series and goes out with a fizzle instead of a bang.
What did you think of this week's update? Agree, disagree or have any other thoughts? Let me know in the comments or on Twitter.
– CJ
P.S. One good thing did come out of A Cure for Wellness. This hauntingly beautiful cover of The Ramones' I Wanna Be Sedated sung by Mirel Wagner. It featured in one of the trailers. It's a very different take on the original version of the song and I love them both.

I love the Librarything unsuggester too! They also have a library suggester based upon your whole library. My question is, why are you NOT one of LibraryThing's list of Authors who Librarything?
It's not broken, it's simply pointing out statistical anomalies -- it's not even talking about whether or not you'd like something (as some people have written to me, complaining they like books from both lists). It's simply saying that it ought to be able to find a certain number of copies of book Y for people who own Book X, and it can't. Statistically, people who have a copy of Mein Kampf on their shelves, for whatever reason, have fewer copies of Terry Pratchett books than might be expected. It may be that all the people with both Mein Kampf and Guards! Guards! just aren't on LibraryThing yet, and once they join the anomaly will vanish. Or it may be that there's something to be learned from that.
If you plugged your personal library into LibraryThing it might help smooth over the anomalies you've encountered.
Dear Mr. Gaiman:My name is Chloe Cole. I'm a junior at Marion High School, in Marion, Arkansas. I'm writing you this letter to tell you how I felt about your book Coraline, and ask you some questions.I really enjoyed your book Coraline. I enjoyed it so much, that I've read it more than once. I really wanted to ask you about the buttons. I loved how they were used as the other parent's eyes. Do they symbolize anything for you personally? What do you try to symbolize when Coraline goes into the other world through the old door?I would like to thank you for taking time to read my letter. I hope you can find time to reply to me in an email. My email address is (removed).
Well, this blog has certainly helped this author get onto the New York Times bestseller list, mostly by letting enough people know that I had new books coming out at the point where they came out. Which probably helped me make money in the long term, through increased royalties, but isn't what it exists for.
Beyond that, I've never put up advertising or made any of the kind of links to Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble or wherever that pay you a referral fee. And while I'm happy to link to DreamHaven Books' www.neilgaiman.net shop site, I don't get a cut of anything they sell or anything like that -- I figure it helps a comparatively small local bookshop that I like enormously to stay in business, which is enough.
And seeing that I don't have any plans at present to sell www.neilgaiman.com to Google for millions, I'm probably the last person to have any useful ideas on making money from blogging.
You know, on the cover of Sandman 14, I even look like the Corinthian with my glasses off. Or perhaps he looks suspiciously like a 28-year-old me with teeth for eyes.
I've checked the links and they work fine for me. I checked the LJ syndication and they seem to have worked fine for everyone on there. I wonder if your computer mistakenly thinks that LibraryThing is a fraud site or something.
So this face recognition thing. Well. You, apparently, resemble yourself 66%.Please don't fall into an existential pit because of this.


CITY OF RIVERSIDE: OCCUPY RIVERSIDE MARCH ON POLICE BRUTALITY..
OCCUPY RIVERSIDE MARCHED IN PROTEST OF POLICE BRUTALITY IN FRONT OF THE RPD ORANGE STREET STATION. STORIES OF PHYSICAL ABUSE BEHIND THE DOORS OF THE RPD PROCESSING CENTER ARE TOLD. ALL ELEVEN ARRESTED WERE EVALUATED FOR INJURIES AT LOCAL HOSPITALS AFTER THEIR RELEASE. FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS PREPARATION SEEN, A WEEK AFTER CITY OF RIVERSIDE LEADERS CALL FOR REMOVAL OF OCCUPIER TENT CITY BY RPD SWAT. IT APPEARS THAT THE CALL WAS DONE TO CLEAR MAIN STREET FOR THIS FESTIVE OCCASION, BUT WILL THEIR BE A FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS THIS NOVEMBER 25, 2011, WITH CHRISTMAS SONGS OF PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL, OR A FESTIVAL OF RIGHTS?
AND WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN EERIE SYMBOLIC CAGE OF DANGER, DO NOT ENTER, AROUND THE STATUE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING WALKING TOWARD RIVERSIDE CITY HALL WITH A LEGENDARY QUOTE BEHIND HIM….
WITNESSED BY THOSE AROUND, THE LIGHT WAS RED, NOT SURE WHY, BUT RPD VEHICLE HITS THE GAS, THIS WAS RPD VEHICLE NUMBER 3927. WHILE OCCUPIER CROSSES THE STREET. WELCOME TO RIVERSIDE AND THE UPCOMING FESTIVAL OF RIGHTS, FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS THIS NOVEMBER 25, 2011. THE QUESTION IS, WILL WE HAVE MORE CANDY CANES THROWN OR RPD BATONS THROWN?
I was walking down Main Street and saw the heavily closed off islands of grass with newly applied manure, a tree and a sign. Which then reminded me of a quote by Thomas Jefferson, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." Are many of our forefathers quotes coming back to remind and warn us that we as individuals must take responsibility for the course that government has taken?
UPDATE:11/12/2011: FROM RIVERSIDE COP WATCH BLOG, FIVE BEFORE MIDNIGHT, FORMER STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL LOCKYER'S ADVISERS WROTE THESIS ABOUT THE RIVERSIDE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND IT'S STIPULATED JUDGEMENT.

Q: Running shp2pgsql in Azure cloud shell I'm working with an Azure Postgresql database and am using the Cloud Shell to run psql scripts without problems. I'm now trying to load some shp files via the shp2pgsql command. The cloud shell responds by:
bash: shp2pgsql: command not found
Is it possible at all to use shp2pgsql with the Cloud Shell or I'm missing something? I've already successfully created the postgis extension on the Postgresql server.

A: Unfortunately, it seems that you cannot run the shp2pgsql command in the Azure Cloud Shell. It is just an interactive, browser-accessible shell for managing Azure resources. Not integrated with too much tool in it because of its flexibility. You can get more details about the features from the Features & tools for Azure Cloud Shell.
I suggest if you want to do something complicated, you'd better run it in a specific Azure VM for yourself. Hope this will be helpful to you.


Force Athletics is a not-for-profit organization established for the benefit of home educated or private school students who are interested in participating in competitive sports and cheerleading programs.
Athletes who genuinely have a love for God, have a conviction to represent Him on the field, have a teachable, humble attitude and have a selfless "team before me" approach.
Coaches who love their athletes and work hard for them in preparation, strategic improvement and college exposure; who respect and speak well of parents and each other, and who represent Christ's character and humility to opposing coaches, officials and other athletes.
Parents who support and pray for all their coaches, who respect the coaches' decisions even if they don't agree, and who are more concerned about an athlete's character on and off the field than their playing time.
An administration that is organized and enthusiastic about the successes of the team that is properly and fairly enforcing all regulations and guidelines, and is keeping parents informed and involved in a structured and productive manner.

Q: Dynamically add elements to view based on xml parsed in viewmodel Hallo and thank you for your time.
I am making a project for school, and ive run into a problem that id like to solve over the weekend. (my teacher is obviously not available for questions)
I am using the MVVM architechture for my app.
I wish to dynamically add stackpanels(with some content) to the View, based on how many entries for the selected category that i find in the associated XML file in the ViewModel
I have created a XMLContainer class, which uses the singleton pattern.
I have an enum called 'Categories' with the available categories.
I have a ViewModel called 'SecondPageViewModel'
I have only been doing this for 2 months, so even if you think its obvious what you mean. Elaborate a bit more please :)

At the first opening tag of the Grid element containing this GridView, i set the DataContext, like so.
<Grid.DataContext>
    <ViewModel:SecondPageViewModel/>
</Grid.DataContext>

This achieved the effect i wanted, but in a much cleaner way than i was originally thinking.
I hope this explenation is clear to others. If not, feel free to ask me questions. And i will elaborate as much as i can.

Q: Management with RenderScrip I would like to handle the frame from YUV to RGB using the ScriptIntrinsecYUVtoRGB in the method ImageReader.OnImageAvailableListener().
It can be done? Until now I have done so:
I remaining with image white and the preview does not start anymore.
Suggestions?

A: You're not adding your TextureView surface to the capture session or the capture request anymore. Only the ImageReader Surface is being added to the outputSurfaces list and to captureRequestBuilder.addTarget().
So the camera is not drawing anything to the TextureView. Add it back in to both.

Khandker Quader
In recent years there have been fascinating discoveries of several types of quantum condensed forms of matter exhibiting novel phenomena arising from interactions among the constituents, such as, electrons in solids, or atoms & molecules in ultracold matter. Common to all of these is the emergence of spectacular phases with novel macroscopic behavior in the vicinity of quantum instabilities. Phenomena such as these give glimpses into the nature of the rich underlying quantum world, and provide motivation for theoretical study of correlated Fermi systems.

Affordable real estate, thousands of corporate headquarters, and warm weather make Dallas city a great place to raise a family. If you're planning to relocate to Dallas or simply move across town, the city has an array of hot properties and neighborhoods that can fit your needs.
But with the many subdivisions available, how do you decide which is best? Here is our list of hot Dallas subdivisions that could fulfill your home needs.

When it comes to real estate trends for 2018, there is both good news and bad news. The good news is that home sales thus far have been hot in the first quarter of 2018, and sellers are unloading their properties at a profit.
As for the bad news, demand far exceeds supply, and buyers need to be more aggressive and motivated to grab a home this year.
Despite 2018 starting with a low inventory, the real estate market has not performed the same way it did 2 years ago. Prices are still significantly high because of low inventory while the multiple offer situations common a few years ago are non-existent.

When discussing real estate in Dallas, the focus is Dallas plus all the suburbs in the area. This includes suburbs such as Allen, Plano, Frisco, Southlake, Colleyville, Highland Park, Coppell, and others. They are several factors which make certain suburbs more desirable. Factors such as the cost of homes, public schools and school district ratings, the neighborhood's lifestyle, recreational facilities, and commute times to work and airports are important. Big city living may not suit everybody – but urban areas certainly have their perks.


The cutter is engaged by pushing down on the top peak of the Quasar, which releases and pops up the cutting unit with both blades ready in unison. The V-Cut side cleanly cuts a wedge as deep as 7mm on a 60-ring for a full robust draw. The straight cut provides an equally crisp straight cut on cigars up to a 70-ring. The body is a sturdy all-metal form. The top peak holds the blades and runs on oiled quad pistons to ensure absolute smooth action when in motion. The undercarriage is lined with a rubber gasket for non-slip stability while in use and to prevent damage to the desktop. Also, on the bottom is a twist cap for retrieving and disposing of the collected cigar clippings.

Q: Count ?var in PHP url as true I have seen some urls on facebook where at the end you see &theater I assume this means it's somehow setting theater to true. I was wondering how to accomplish the same thing.
For instance:
example.com/page/?var
In this url, var would be set true.
I know I can add =true to the end of it to make it have the desired value, but I am asking this for convenience.

A: You can use
if(isset($_GET['var'])){
 // true if var is set, even if it is empty
}

It is seen as a syntax error when one starts to declare $_GET['var'] when it is not set. PHP will throw an error at you, when error reporting set. It is good to see if it is set in the first place. If the var is oly to flag "true", then that is accomplished by just setting it.
To accomplish setting a url with $_GET variables is just by adding them to a link the way you see them in the address bar.

A: $var = isset($_GET['var']);

Now $var is a boolean variable.

Ford Trucks Continues Its Growth in Europe with France
17/11/2021 American Car Brands, VEHICLE TYPES, Ford, GENERAL, Cuff, TIR
Ford Trucks, the heavy commercial brand of Ford Otosan, the leading company of the Turkish automotive industry, continues its growth with strategically important France, following the appointment of distributors in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.
Ford Otosan's heavy commercial vehicle brand Ford Trucks, which stands out with its engineering experience and 60 years of heritage in the heavy commercial sector, continues its growth by stepping into France, one of Europe's key markets. Speaking at the launch ceremony held in Solutrans 2021 in France, Ford Otosan General Manager Haydar Yenigün said, "With our Ford Trucks brand, we continue our strong growth plans in Europe without slowing down. We are excited to step into France, which is now the second largest market after Germany, Europe's largest heavy commercial vehicle market, which we entered last month. We plan to serve our customers in 2022 locations as of 25 with F-Trucks France, which has a deep-rooted history in the automotive industry and commercial vehicle segment in France."
Ford Trucks, which plans to be present at 2022 points by 25 in France, which has a key position in Europe as a strategic market, has delivered 60 'ITOY - International Truck of the Year' award-winning Ford Trucks to Combronde Groupe company, one of the country's most important logistics fleets, during the launch. F-MAX also delivered.
F-Trucks France, which was established by the combination of 3 companies with equal shares for the structuring of Ford Trucks in France, consists of companies with a deep-rooted history and experience in the automotive industry, namely Groupe Maurin, Groupe DMD and Groupe Amplitude.
Yenigün: "France has a key role in our growth plans in Europe"
Ford Otosan General Manager Haydar Yenigün said that they are proud to take a step in an important organization such as Solutrans 2021 in France, which is Europe's second largest heavy commercial market after Germany.
"As Ford Otosan, we continue to break new ground in the automotive industry and write a worldwide success story with our heavy commercial vehicle brand Ford Trucks for more than half a century. At the point where our truck production journey has reached today, we operate in more than 40 countries thanks to our engineering competencies and R&D power. Winning the 2019 International Truck of the Year (ITOY) award, the F-MAX continues to be one of the most important indicators of the point reached by our production power, engineering capabilities, design, technology and vehicle development skills. While representing Ford's truck business globally, we continue our strategic growth plans in Europe without slowing down despite the negative effects of the pandemic. After the ITOY award, we had delayed our growth plans due to the high demand from Europe for the F-MAX. In this direction, we have completed our structuring in Italy, Belgium and Luxembourg, which are among the markets where we see high demand, following the Polish, Lithuanian, Portuguese and Spanish markets. In the past weeks, we stepped into Germany, Europe's largest heavy commercial vehicle market. Now, we are proud to take a step with our distributor F-Trucks France to France, Europe's 2nd largest heavy commercial market, which has a key role in Ford Trucks' growth plans."
Ford Trucks' goal is to expand to 2024 countries by the end of 55
Ford Otosan's heavy commercial vehicle brand Ford Trucks, which produces and develops vehicles not only in Turkey but also in more than 40 countries for global markets, continues its global growth without slowing down despite the pandemic. Continuing its efforts to achieve permanent growth in the whole of Europe, Ford Trucks plans to expand its global operations to 3 countries in the next 55 years, after France, to cover the whole of Europe. Following the 2019 International Truck of the Year (ITOY) award, Ford Trucks has delayed its growth plans with the high demand from Europe for the F-MAX. Completed its structuring in Germany. The company aims to expand its global growth to 2019 countries by the end of 2021 and to 45 countries by the end of 2024.

Transparency FAQ
We've spent a long time considering the safest and most effective ways to provide our products. Please read below to learn more about our decision to use recycled and recyclable packaging, rather than refill or other materials and solutions.
Materials: What we use, & why we chose it
We prioritise health, hygiene, safety and efficacy, and we're committed to supporting a circular economy.
Herlum bottles are made from recycled mono-material obtained from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), which is the easiest type of plastic to recycle. Our packaging is manufactured in Britain, using sustainably sourced material from Central America, the Caribbean, South America, the South Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa.
This approach prevents plastic pollution reaching our oceans, cleans up existing waste, and encourages micro-entrepreneurship in developing countries. We use a dispensing pump which is recyclable, as confirmed by independent recycling specialists. We also use adhesive labels rather than silk-screening, in order to preserve the value of our containers, allowing them to be easily reused and recycled.
Why not use refill pouches?
While they may seem a simple solution, plastic pouches are not recyclable. Their thin layers fuse different materials, such as foil, wax and plastics, which makes them extremely difficult to recycle. Presently, the only way to recycle refill pouches is through specialised companies.
Therefore, instead of offering refills, we encourage our customers to recycle their plastic packaging, contributing to the circular economy and maintaining the safety and efficacy of our products.
Why not use glass bottles?
In a soapy, slippery environment, bathroom products packaged in glass can be a serious hazard. Not only can they fall, shattering into sharp pieces, but they can also smash bathroom tiles and ceramic surfaces on impact.
Could you make waterless products, instead?
Water is a vital ingredient in any personal care product. It acts as a solvent, improving the performance of the formula. Unlike tap water, the water used in personal care is deionised, meaning that it has its minerals and impurities removed. As a result, tap water should never be used to dilute hand wash; it reduces its effectiveness, and can contaminate it with fungus or bacteria.
Do you test on animals?
No. Animal testing is never used in the making of our products. Likewise, all raw materials used are sourced from suppliers who commit to the same high standards as we do. We do not sell our products in countries where the law requires animal testing to be carried out on cosmetic products.
Are your products vegan?
Yes. At Herlum, 'vegan' means plant-based, and absolutely nothing derived from animals.
Are your formulas biodegradable?
Yes. Our ingredients are natural, safe and biodegradable, which means that they do not impact on water recycling systems.
Do Herlum products use preservatives?
Yes. Preservatives are crucial to making products safe, effective and long-lasting. For example, any product containing water will require preservatives to protect consumers from mould, bacteria, and microbial growth, which present a health and hygiene risk, and can irritate the skin.
In our collection, we have opted to use a preservative made from a blend of Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid, Glycerin and Sorbic Acid. It is not only highly effective and safe, but also ECOCERT- and COSMOS -registered.
For more information or any questions, please email us at hello@herlum.co.uk; we'd love to hear from you.

Welcome to our store. We carry some of the most popular nootropics on the market. You can trust us as your number one and only nootropics supplier. All of our smart drugs are synthesized and double checked for purity at our independent testing facility. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is also followed during the manufacturing of our products.
Most of our nootropics are not approved by the United States FDA for use on humans and therefore we strictly adhere to these guidelines. We do however offer top quality and lab tested purity that would standardize for pharmaceutical grade (>99% purity). Please see below for all the types of nootropics we carry.
Most racetams work primarily by increasing the effectiveness of acetylcholine by acting as positive allosteric modulators at the receptors. This increase in cholinergic effectiveness is believed to be the primary nootropic action behind many racetams. Some racetams also work as ampakines and have glutamatergic activity which may also influence processes of cognitive functioning.
Racetams have been not been evaluated for human use in the United States but have some in-depth medical research and trial in other countries. This area of nootropic chemicals has a lot of study however its advancement in the area of brain based degenerative diseases looks very limited. Nevertheless, some research suggests that these chemicals may still have valid merit in helping these conditions.
Regardless, racetam nootropics and their combination with other racetams or nootropics is an area of interest to scientific and medical communities within the United States and other countries. Your company or organization may be interested in obtaining these nootropic chemicals for further advancement in this area.
We have an extensive inventory of ampakines. Unlike common racetam nootropics, ampakines have less area of study. Regardless of this fact, they still have just as much if not more interest in many research communities. Ampakine nootropics are not approved as drugs within the United States. It is a large possibility that new and already existing ampakine nootropics may become available as research and studies become more developed in the future.
Unlike racetam nootropics, ampakines affect the glutamate receptors in human and animal models. This is believed to be the main source of their nootropic effects on the brain. More studying and research needs to be invested in this area as these chemicals may have great use one day.
Since ampakines are not well studied or evaluated, they still do not FDA approval in the Unitied States. Most health regulatory authorities in other countries have still not approved ampakine nootropics for use as drugs. For this reason, ampakine nootropics are very sought after for research. Safety and long term use have not been evaluated and in no way should they be used on humans.
There are a wide variety of chemicals that we carry that are used both as chemicals or OTC drugs. The prime reason we carry these types of nootropics is because they are often used in research applications with racetam and ampakine nootropics. Even if the specific chemical you desire to buy is available over the counter as a drug in the United States, we still do not sell as a drug only a chemical. Please practice due diligence, any suggestion that you will use these products for human ingestion will be ignored by our staff.
Acetylcholine chemicals are a group of chemicals and drugs that influence levels of acetylcholine in the brain in both humans and animals. How the specific chemical influences acetylcholine will differ from substance the substance. Some of these nootropics work by synthesizing acetylcholine while others assist in the production process of acetylcholine.
Our company carries a wide range of nootropics that do not relate to racetam, acetylcholine or ampakine families. We are always trying to expand our inventory and add non-toxic chemicals for purposes other than ingesting. Please see our shop for a whole list of nootropic products. Also feel free to contact our professional and well trained team for your questions and comments.
Our products are not intended for human or animal consumption. By buying from NootropicsSupply.com you agree to this and all other policies of our company. We are not responsible for the irresponsible use of our products. All information listed on our site is not guaranteed to be up to date. You may not purchase our products for resale.


Distillates are petroleum products that includes diesel, jet fuel, and fuel oil. Renewable distillates may be categorized as substitutes or drop-in replacements. The most common distillate substitute is biodiesel, and drop-in replacements can be produced via hydrotreating or gasification plus Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology.
Biodiesel is produced by reacting fats like vegetable oil (sources include soybeans, oil palm, or even oil from algae) or animal fats with an alcohol like methanol. The products of the reaction are biodiesel and glycerin. The chemical structure of biodiesel differs from that of petroleum diesel in that biodiesel contains oxygen. This is what makes biodiesel a distillate substitute instead of a drop-in replacement, in manner analogous to that of ethanol and gasoline.
Biodiesel is the 2nd largest volume biofuel produced in the world. In 2010 global production was 5 billion gallons. Major producers include Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina, and the U.S. The technical barrier for biodiesel production is quite low, and as a result there are numerous companies involved in biodiesel production, as well as hobbyists who produce biodiesel in their garage.
"Green diesel" produced from hydrotreating technology utilizes the same feedstocks as does biodiesel production. Instead of reacting the feedstocks with methanol, they are reacted with hydrogen. The products of this reaction are diesel-range hydrocarbons — green diesel — and propane (as compared to glycerin as the biodiesel byproduct).
The technology hurdle for hydrotreated green diesel is higher than for biodiesel, and as a result there are fewer players. The global leader is probably Neste Oil in Finland. They began developing their NExBTL technology in 2002, and in May 2007 started up a plant with a capacity of 50 million gallons per year of renewable diesel fuel from a feedstock of vegetable oil and animal fat. In November 2010, Neste Oil commissioned the world's largest renewable diesel refinery (and to my knowledge the largest renewable fuel plant of any kind in the world) in Singapore. The feedstock for this plant is palm oil and the capacity is 245 million gallons per year. Neste Oil also operates a renewable diesel refinery in Rotterdam, with a capacity close to that of its Singapore facility.
Some of the other companies involved in developing hydrotreated green diesel include Italian oil company Eni, Brazilian oil company Petrobras, and Honeywell's UOP-which is a major provider of refinery upgrading technology.
The second major method of making a drop-in diesel replacement involves gasification of a feedstock such as coal (coal-to-liquids, or CTL), natural gas (GTL), or biomass (BTL) and then conversion of the syngas into fuel. Gasification was described in last week's issue, but once syngas has been produced it can be reacted via the Fischer-Tropsch reaction to produce diesel and jet fuel.
Gasification has been used to commercially produce liquid fuels for decades. CTL was used during World War II by the Germans, when they had limited access to petroleum but needed fuel for their military. South Africa during apartheid had a similar experience. With sanctions restricting petroleum imports, South Africa turned to CTL, using its large coal reserves to produce liquid fuel. Sasol (South African Coal, Oil and Gas Corporation) operates a number of gasification facilities, including the 160,000 barrels per day (bpd) Secunda CTL facility in South Africa.
Shell is a major developer of GTL technology. Shell has operated a GTL plant in Bintulu, Malaysia, since 1993, with a current capacity of nearly 15,000 bpd. Shell commissioned the 140,000 bpd Pearl GTL plant in Ras Laffan, Qatar in 2011 – by far the largest GTL plant in the world.
BTL is well behind CTL and GTL in development because biomass is trickier to handle. The BTL leader is probably Rentech (RTK). They have been developing BTL technology for a number of years, and currently operate a 10 barrel per day demonstration facility in Colorado. They are to my knowledge the only company in the world producing diesel at a scale of barrels per day from biomass. (Full disclosure: Rentech's Chief Technology Officer was formerly my manager when I worked for ConocoPhillips).

Web designers, bloggers, and graphic designers cannot deny the import of good images. iStockphoto is almost like a stomping ground for creative, hungry folks. But it isn't the only source of royalty-free stock images. In this Techspirited article, we introduce you to some amazing alternatives to iStockphoto.
American stock photo agency, Getty Images acquired iStockphoto for $50 million on February 9, 2006.
No matter how good you are in spinning a yarn or how blessed you are in sugarcoating a banal idea into a glamorous read, your powerful volley of words will strain your reader's attention, if it is not supported by images. One just can't slip up on images as they are like a bucket of ice-cold water that jolt the reader's attention. Images make your written word more believable, no matter how fanciful the idea is - fairy tales wouldn't have been 'fairy tales' had it not been for the illustrations or colorful imagery.
An image is a seductive element that draws your reader to your article or site. For this very reason, you will find text interspersed with images. An image's allegorical gravity cannot be overlooked in a visual-centric world. From social media to SEO, images are employed as an efficacious tool to channel traffic in.
Stock photo website, iStockphoto is a major player in this arena but not the only player. Given below are some stock photo websites like iStockphoto that offer similar services.
With over 32 million images, videos, and vectors contributed by a sweeping community of artists, illustrators, graphic designers, and well-known agencies, Fotolia is primed to satisfy your imagery demands. It offers a variety of credit purchase (credits start from $0.74 and are valid for 365 days) and subscription options ($0.19 per file). It also accepts user submissions, so if you are an amateur or a professional, you are provided with a great platform to showcase your photography skills. Fotolia's massive image database and fluid navigation merits a spot on our list.
Dreamstime's real strength lies in its seamless search engine and easy functionality. With over 15 million royalty-free images, Dreamstime ranks high in terms of quality and affordability. A member of PACA (Picture Archive Council of America, a favorite purveyor of images with leading magazines and agencies), Dreamstime offers images on individual as well as subscription basis. It has recently totted a new social feature for designers that gives suggestions to users looking for an image based on past choices and relative searches from other designers.
Bigstockphoto proffers over 21 million royalty-free images, vectors, and illustrations. You aren't foisted on a credit system if you don't want (it also saves the reckoning of credits), and that we like. They follow an open pricing system where price is based on the size of the image. Ease of navigation and affordable pricing makes Bigstockphoto a likable and convenient microstock agency.
123rf offers a whopping library of over 33 million stock images, vectors, footage, and audio clips. With 123rf, you can expect images for all kinds of purposes - from professional to blogging to non-profits, etc. Its licensing policy is upfront and without any hidden conditions; you pay once and use the image for as many times as you want, with no license renewal hassle. You also get a sizable number of lower resolution images for free and can also avail yourselves of their exclusive logo design feature that will give you your tailor-made corporate or brand identity.
Depositphotos is a smart kid on the block. It has a wide spectrum of categories in comparison with other stock photo websites, and has a humongous library that is contributed by some of the best designers, photographers, illustrators, and videographers. With its competitors maintaining a rather difficult credit system, Depositphotos plays unfussy by keeping an inexpensive credit cost strategy. They may have aped other microstock agencies' strategies but they are minting it big time and are enjoying fruition of trial-and-tested methods employed by other players, which is really smart.
Brainchild of a university student, CanStockPhoto hit the microstock dominion in 2004. What many will like about CanStockPhoto is that it does not behove on purchasers to sign up for purchasing. It has good range of categories that are augmented every day by talented photographers and artists around the world. Its credit system is seamless - it offers inexpensive credit choices, allows bulk credit purchases which are cheap, and most importantly does the reckoning while telling you how many images you buy with the credit.
Alamy has a whopping quarry of stock photos, with over 51 million of good quality images, vectors, illustrations, and much more. Alamy initially had an awkward search box, which was then given an overhaul and now that very frailty of their website is on its way to be patented. Originally a macrostock agency, Alamy changed its strategy tactics in order to be able to cater to a more dynamic market. However, they still maintain their macrostock approach in terms of rights managed licenses along with royalty-free. Prices are transparent with direct buying option without any insistence on credits or subscription. But, it does not offer any discount for long-term users or bulk purchasers.
GraphicRiver is one big community of designers owned by Envato Market network. This is the place for those who need amazing graphic artwork. GraphicRiver has more than 300,000 stock graphics files starting from $1. This website is a creative marketplace for designers who can upload anything from a psd greeting card to logos to photoshop brushes to icons and much more.
The above selection of stock photo websites are on par with iStockphoto in terms of quality and credibility and offer a walloping collection of images, vectors, and illustrations.
