PigProgress - What to do when tail biting occurs?
What to do when tail biting occurs?
Almost all conventional pig producers will be familiar with tail bitten pigs. It's called a tail biting outbreak when biting leads to multiple victims per pen, or even spreads throughout the barn. Outbreaks are hard to stop – here is how it is possible to overcome an outbreak successfully.
Tail-bitten pigs are often noticed only at an advanced stage, when there is shortening of the tail. At this stage it is likely that most other pigs in the pen have noticed the blood and been attracted to it. That may motivate them to bite and to create new victims.
Ideally, tail biting is noticed at an early stage, before there is blood on the tail and before the tail length is reduced. This can be through either noticing the biter or noticing the victim. When a pig is repeatedly biting tails, the pig can be observed for ten to 15 minutes to see if it continues biting. If this is the case it might be better to remove the potential problem causer.

Tail posture as indicator
Victims can be recognised at an early stage by looking at tail posture. A tail almost permanently tucked between the legs indicates it is being bitten. A briefly tucked tail can, however, be in response to other social interactions such as displacement. A good time to check tail posture is at the feeder. If the feeding is synchronised, it is easy to check all tails together. Even at an individual feeding station, if pigs are constantly seen with tucked tails when feeding, there may be a biting problem in the pen. A tucked tail should be inspected closely; if injuries are present, then it is better to act immediately rather than wait until it gets worse.

What to do?
Action to address tail biting can be through providing distraction to the group or by removing biters or victims when it is more severe. Almost anything can be used to distract pigs, but they easily lose interest. It is therefore more important to change enrichment regularly than to necessarily have the best type of enrichment. However, enrichment should be safe for the animals and not pose risks for food safety.
Good enrichment materials for pigs are chewable, destructible and edible and can be manipulated by multiple pigs at the same time. Loose materials such as straw, hay and sawdust are most used by pigs, but if the housing limits the provision of these, there are other alternatives. Examples are ropes, large feed pellets (beetroot pellets), soft rubber hoses and jute sacks (burlap sacks).
What to do when tail biting occurs?
Using a step-wise protocol
Straw is one of the best materials to occupy pigs. However, for several reasons straw may not be a suitable option or possibility, especially on fully slatted floors. In Ireland about 80% of farms have fully slatted floors. A recent study conducted on a farm in Ireland showed that tail-biting outbreaks can still be effectively reduced using a set protocol. In this protocol three types of intervention were used in a random order:
A. Putting three ropes in a pen of 12-14 pigs
B. Removing the victim
C. Removing the biter.
If after 72 hours blood was detected on one of the pigs in the pen, then the next step was taken. When an option was applied but was not successful, then the next one was applied until all three options had been used. Victims or biters that had been removed were later introduced back in the group as described in the protocol in the box. This resulted in no overt aggression between the pigs when the removed pigs were reintroduced to the original group.
Figure 1 – Step wise plan for overcoming tail biting problems in a pen.
What to do when tail biting occurs?
80% of outbreaks can be solved
The study showed that 80% of severe tail-biting outbreaks could be stopped, even when removed pigs are reintroduced to their original groups. Adding ropes could shorten the duration of an outbreak, since it may take longer to remove and reintroduce pigs. Removing victims or biters was as effective as adding ropes in stopping an outbreak. All pigs were reintroduced to their original groups, which saved the need to have extra space to permanently house removed pigs. Based on the outcomes, the following stepwise plan was recommended (see Figure 1).
Figure 2 – The chance of reducing a tail biting outbreak 'likelihood of success' depends on the number of victims and biters per pen.
The need to respond quickly
The results also showed the importance of responding quickly to the occurrence of tail biting. The chance of successfully reducing a tail-biting outbreak depends on the number of affected pigs in the pen. Figure 2 shows that if more than 50% of the pigs are victims of tail biting, the chance of success in overcoming the outbreak can still be around 60%. But if 33% of pigs are biters, then the chance of stopping the outbreak is only 30%. Thus, the more biters in the pen, the smaller the chance that the outbreak can be stopped.
How to remove and reintroduce pigs from a group?
1. Determine which pig to remove to gain most benefit.
2. Remove the selected pig together with at least one other pig.
3. Write down the pen number from which they are removed and date of removal.
4. Provide a recovery pen without mixing with other unfamiliar pigs.
5. When the pigs have recovered, or at least within seven days, return the pigs together to the original pen.
6. Provide ropes in the pen at the time of reintroduction.
7. Use scent marking spray such as diluted Dettol when pigs are returned.
Have a tail-biting first aid kit
This protocol worked successfully at the farm, which is a conventional farm with fully slatted floors. This does not mean that the protocol will be successful under different conditions. We encourage others to try it but to have other safety measures ready as well. We recommend having a stock of different enrichment objects and products that are directly available whenever an outbreak occurs. Such a 'tail-biting first aid kit' can include ropes, straw, toys, large feed pellets (beetroot pellets), rubber hoses and jute sacks (burlap sacks).

Anti-academy protest outside school
Teachers, who have gone on strike in protest against plans to turn their school into an academy, were joined by parents as they demonstrated outside the school today.
Up to 40 parents attended the protest at Downhills Primary in Haringey.
Sarah Williams, 40, who has two sons at the school, said:
"There is absolutely no evidence that a change in structure improves children's educational outcomes.
"When the process first started I thought it was about improving the school, but as we've got further along I've realised it's all about [Education Secretary] Micheal Gove's ideologies that the only way to improve is to introduce profit.
"If you look at the figures, this school was already improving, and there's absolutely no reason why the school can't continue to improve if left the way it is."

A showy plant thought to have been long gone from Maine has been found this summer.
Officials say the Unicorn Root was found this summer on private land in Bowdoin after having last been seen in the state 130 years ago.
Unicorn Root features is a tall flowering stalk with white flowers that appear in June through August. It's also known as White Colic-root or Colicroot.
It grows in open, moist, sandy ground and is typically associated with tallgrass prairie habitats and damp, sandy meadows with little to no topsoil.
The last known specimen in Maine was collected near Lewiston in 1887. This summer, about 300 flowering stems were found in Bowdoin.

Hen shoots farmer in Monaghan
Published: 7 March 1914
A farmer has died following a bizarre shooting incident at a farmhouse between Ballybay and Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan.
The farmer, Laurence Connolly, was taking out his gun to shoot magpies that had been taking eggs from the hen roosts when a hen ran across him. The gun struck the hen and discharged itself into the body of Mr. Connolly. He died several hours later.
Mr. Connolly had amassed considerable wealth in his youth in America. He married following his return to Ireland but his new wife died suddenly shortly afterwards.
He subsequently lived with his brother and it was at their farm that the incident occurred.

Dog Found Breastfeeding A Starving Abandoned Child
 YouTube/QueOpinaChileTV
The remarkable instincts of a sweet dog are being credited for helping to save the life of a young child who had been abandoned by his mother.
The 2-year-old boy was rescued last week in the Chilean village of Arica, half-clothed and in a dangerous state of malnutrition. It's unclear how long he had been left to fend for himself, but despite being deserted by his parent, the child was not completely without maternal attention.
Incredibly, the boy was discovered being cared for by a neighborhood pet, named Reina. The dog, who is pregnant with a litter of puppies, had evidently taken the starving child in as her own, nursing him with her life-giving milk, reports Estrella de Arica.
"Police were called to verify the witness's report, noting the obvious state of malnutrition of the child and verifying that he was drinking milk from a canine that was in the area, so he was moved immediately to a hospital," police captain Diego Gajardo told the paper.
According to the Associated Press, the boy was treated and later released into the custody of child services.

While Reina's actions on behalf of the child are truly remarkable, similar stories of animals breastfeeding starving children are not unheard of. Perhaps the best-known instance of this stems from ancient mythology in the story of Romulus and Remus, traditionally cited as the founders of Rome.
According to legend, the twin boys were on the verge of death after being abandoned by their mother in infancy, only to be rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them.

Does tortellini have to be boiled?
1. Don't boil it! Toss refrigerated tortellini with a lot of sauce (the ratio should be 1 part ravioli to 2 parts sauce), then throw everything into a baking dish.
Can you eat tortellini raw?
Can you eat tortellini without cooking it? As with any uncooked food, there is a chance of cross contamination; the cheese can have listeria, the pork or beef e. Coli, the raw egg could have Salmonella. You take your chances eating it raw.
Why does tortellini float?
Only stuffed pasta like ravioli, tortellini, or mezzelune will float to the surface during cooking. This happens because the air inside them expands when heated, making the pasta noodles less dense than the water. When the noodles float, that doesn't necessarily mean that they're done.
Can you cook raw pasta in sauce?
You can cook pasta in the sauce, but you need to make sure that you're adding more liquid for the pasta to absorb. To do this, dilute the sauce until it covers the dry pasta, then continue to add more liquid whenever the pasta dries out.
Can you cook dry tortellini in sauce?
Dried "tortellini alla carne" (with meat) should be cooked in broth/stock or boiling salted water for 15 – 18 mins. My Sicilian brother in law recommends stock. With all pastas, you'll want to bring your water to a boil and then back off to a relative simmer before adding your pasta.
Is tortellini pre cooked?
Is tortellini already cooked? The filling is almost always precooked so it is not relevant unless you are pregnant. … The interior can be ham and that's fine, if you have a meat tortellini is a mixture of various types of meat such as pork and raw pork is not suitable.
Is tortellini always stuffed?
Traditionally they are stuffed with a mix of meat (pork loin, raw prosciutto, mortadella), Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, egg and nutmeg and served in capon broth (in brodo di cappone).
|The distinctive shape of tortellini|
|Alternative names||Belly button|
|Cookbook: Tortellini Media: Tortellini|
What happens if you overcook tortellini?
The starch can also be digested in a gradual manner, which prevents blood sugar spikes. Raw pasta is not easy to digest because the body's digestive enzymes cannot adhere to it, whereas overcooked pasta tends to form a sticky dough in the digestive tract, which blocks digestion.
Is tortellini safe for pregnancy?
If your ricotta cheese is made from pasteurized milk, there's no harm in including it in your diet during pregnancy.

Green Your Sports: Eco-Friendly Skiing
Tip #3: Ski Green
Though skiing isn't the greenest of sports (resorts guzzle freshwater for artificial powder and electricity for lifts), some destinations have opted to use wind power and recycled snow instead. Help green the sport by strapping on eco-skis when hitting the slopes. Grab an old pair from a friend, buy used, or invest in skis from an earth-conscious company. Lokomotiv Skis, for example, plants a tree for every pair they produce, and make their gear from bamboo.

RTX shows bigger calculation difference with CPU than GTX?
I have source codes to solve 2-dimensional shallow water equation using C++ and Cuda 11.2.
I have tested the exe file on GTX970, GTX1080Ti, RTX2070, RTX2080, RTX2080Super.
The results of calculation difference with CPU are as below.
GPU ====> Max. value of calculation result difference with CPU
GTX970 ====> 0.001
GTX1080Ti ====> 0.001
RTX2070 ====> 0.204
RTX2080 ====> 0.261
RTX2080Super ====> 0.221
The question is "Why RTXs have bigger difference than GTXs? "
Are there any build options for RTXs?
I use Visual studio 2019, Cuda Toolkit 11.2, and C++.
I applied sm_52 and compute_52( or sm_75 and compute_75), and "Use Fast Math : false" options.
My PC OS is Windows10 64bit.
Please help me.
calculation difference with CPU
This is not a valid measure of correctness or accuracy.
Since code generation has an architecture-dependent component, on both CPUs and GPUs, numerical differences can result. For example, the compiler may re-arrange code to increase instruction-level parallelism, or apply fusion of FMUL and dependent FADD into an FMA (fused multiply-add) differently, or some math functions may have slightly different accuracy within the stated accuracy bounds.
If you want to assess accuracy, the easiest (but not entirely foolproof) way is to compute reference results in (much) higher precision, then compare against that.
If you merely need the issue to go away, try compiling with -fmad=false. Note: this will in all likelihood decrease both performance and accuracy of the GPU implementation.
Thanks njuffa,
You are right, it is not about accuracy.
So I have changed the title of this issue.
Previous title : RTX shows lower floating point accuracy than GTX?
New title: RTX shows bigger calculation difference with CPU than GTX?
I think its unlikely that anyone can give you a complete answer unless either you provide a complete code example, or someone decides to write a lengthy tutorial for you.
The only "build options" specific to RTX that come to mind are the ones you already mentioned: it's always good practice to compile for the architecture(s) you intend to run on, e.g. compute_75/sm_75 for a cc7.5 GPU.
Here is a brief tutorial. I would say there are two general categories of issues here.
 1. Those arising from machine calculation methods. For example comparing float to double, or with or with FMA contraction, are a couple examples. Such differences can easily give rise to differences in results, whether we are talking about comparing CPU to GPU or some other comparison. In addition, other more complex operations such as sin(), cos(), and other "library" match functions may simply be implemented differently on two different "machines" giving rise to different results.
 2. Those arising from order of operations (algorithm calculation methods). Floating point operations don't always have all the characteristics of basic math operations that we learned about in grade school/middle school. If you compare a serial algorithm/realization to a parallel algorithm/realization, its often the case that the math doesn't get done in exactly the same order. This can give rise to differences. A possible item to read here is this floating point whitepaper
Because the two GPUs you mention generally have different sizes (e.g. differing numbers of SMs, for example) a nice ninja-tuned parallel reduction that scopes out the size of the GPU being run on, then uses e.g. a grid-stride loop to size the grid to match the GPU, and then doing a parallel reduction, will likely give at least slightly different results depending on the GPU it is run on.
I doubt that is actually the issue in your case; I don't know what the issue is in your case. You're welcome to discuss it further, but I'm unlikely to provide any further response unless you provide a short, complete example that demonstrates the issue.
There are many questions on various forums that fit this general description (CPU/GPU differences), here is one example. Yes, I'm aware that one doesn't specifically focus on GPU-GPU differences. Here is one that discusses GPU-GPU results differences, in a general way. I'm sure you can find others.
Thank you, Robert_Crovella
I will review my codes carefully about your comments.
And if I have any positive results, I will let you know.
Thank you, Robert_Crovella.
I have reviewed my codes in detail, and it seems I have found the solution.
The summaries of my review are as follows.
 1. __syncthreads() function acted more strictly in RTX than GTX.
 (e.g. At a __syncthreads() in a "if" statement, RTX was hung but GTX was not.)
 2. GTX was more sensitive on the value of thread per block (TPB).
 When the TPB was changed, the calculation results from GTX were less sensitive than RTX.
 (** My calculation includes iteration process (implicit method).)
 3. When I applied larger value of TPB(e.g. 32, 64, 128, 256, 512), the calculation results from RTX became closer to the results using CPU. I think, this may be, larger TPB can sync more control volumes in a block even though cudaDeviceSynchronize() is not applied.
 (** The control volume is minimum calculation unit when using finite volume method (FVM).)
 4. When I applied TPB as 256 or a larger value to RTXs and 32 to GTXs, the calculation results from all the GPUs were very close to the results using CPU.
 (** In my first posting of May 27, TPB 32 was applied to all RTXs and GTXs.)
Again, thank you for your comments and encouraging.

Industrial Ethernet and wireless network become a common platform to implement industrial control in industries. Network control systems are subjected to delay time uncertainties due to the load traffic in the networks. As the PID controller is a major control algorithm in industries, this paper proposes a LMI based robust Hinfin PID controller using robust integral backstepping method to compensate the delay time uncertainties. To design using robust integral backstepping method, the plant and the PID controller are represented as a full state feedback control system in state space representation. The obtained parameters can then be used in the installed PID controller in the network based industrial control systems.

Click here to see all Happycall double pans models.
Many of you enjoy cooking with double pans and are amazed by how user friendly they are, while some who are less experienced may not know how to start.
Here we share an uncut video on how did we pan fry a Wagyu steak by the following steps.
Double Pan: IH Synchro Double Pan - Standard
Food: 400g Wagyu Steak (MB6) seasoned with salt and pepper (about $32)
1. Add some oil.
2. Preheat the pan on MEDIUM HIGH heat for about 30 seconds.
3. Place the steak in the pan, close the lid and cook for 2.5 minutes.
4. Flip the pan over at 2.5 minutes.
5. Heat for another 2.5 minutes.
6. Turn off the heat and enjoy your juicy steak!
- Remember a reasonably heated pan and heated oil (not overheating) are key.
- Users will need basic cooking techniques and common sense (understanding of proper heat control, knowing how to check the food periodically, and so on).
- Heat level, Please note that the heat levels shown below are for general reference only. Every cooktop is different. The following ranges apply if 10 is the maximum.
- Low heat: the heat level is 1-2.
- Medium low heat: the heat level is 3-4.
- Medium heat: the heat level is 5.
- Medium high heat: the heat level is 7-8.
- High heat: the heat level is 9-10.


I want to select an imported object and move it to a specific location. The object is imported in an earlier part of the script. After the import i move it with the following part of the script.
import bpy
# Select object i want to move
bpy.data.objects["Cube"].select = True
# Move Origin to geometry and move object to location
bpy.context.object.location[0] = 0
bpy.context.object.location[1] = 0
bpy.context.object.location[2] = 0
bpy.context.object.rotation_euler[0] = 0
bpy.context.object.rotation_euler[1] = 0
bpy.context.object.rotation_euler[2] = 0
When the script is on position bpy.context.object.location[0] = 0 console gives following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'location'
I understand the message, that my Cube has no location attributes. But he must have them. When i select him with right mouse and type bpy.context.object.location[0] = 0, no error is given and he moves to the position i want.
Do i have an error in the selection-part of my script? How can i solve this?
 - 4
 $\begingroup$ To set the context object use context.scene.objects.active = obj setting the select property only makes it one of context.selected_objects. The error was occurring because context.object is None $\endgroup$ – batFINGER Dec 3 '15 at 11:30
When you select multiple objects one of them is highlighted in a lighter colour. This "lighter" object is known as the active object and is the object that bpy.context.object refers to. This active object may be just one of many selected objects that is listed in bpy.context.selected_objects.
When manipulating objects using python the active object can be left undefined or no longer pointing to a valid object. In this situation you will get the 'NoneType' object error which is saying that the variable you used (bpy.context.object) is a NoneType or null and non existent object so has no location attribute (or any other attributes).
Using bpy.context.object and bpy.context.selected_objects are convenience properties that allows a script to dynamically work with the currently selected objects and allow it to differentiate the one active object. An example is the copy attributes addon which can take a property from the active object and apply it to the rest of the selected objects.
If you know the name of the object you want your script to work on then accessing it through bpy.data.objects['name'] will reliably refer to that object every time. If you want to use an operator that works on the active object, then you can set the active object with bpy.context.scene.objects.active = bpy.data.objects['name']
Quick answer from the future: You are using the location as a list or collection [x,y,z], but it's not it's a Vector((x,y,z)) in the console for some reason obj.location[0] = something works, but it's a risky approach. Try this instead:
location = Vector((1,2,3))
obj.location = location

A common task when programming with GTViewer or GTVx is to get the Linkage off of an element (for more info on linkages, look here). For example, if an event were fired indicating that an element had been selected, you get the Category Id and the Element Offset of the selected element as parameters in the event. So, how do you get the Linkage stored on the element so that you can lookup database information? It turns out that there are several ways to do this, but I am going to provide a generic approach that should work for most cases.
It turns out that there is a method provided by both GTViewer and GTVx to retrieve the linkage from an element. It is aptly named GetElementLinkage; however, it returns an array of linkage values (since GTViewer data can have 1 to 7 linkage values per element). Most datasets use a 1 or 2 key linkage system and it sometimes, so it sometimes seems cumbersome to deal with an array when you know you will always be getting one or two linkage values. It is pretty easy to write a function in VB to just return you the one key or two keys without having to deal with the array. The example below is for 2 keys, but it should be obvious how to downgrade this code to a 1 key version.
Function GetElementLinkage(ByVal categoryId As Long, _
ByVal offset As Long, _
dataId As Long, _
key1 As Long, key2 As Long) As Boolean
' This function will get the linkage off of the element specified by its
' categoryId and offset. The dataId, key1, and key2 values will be populated.
' If the element contains only a 1 key linkage, key2 will be 0.
' The function returns True if a linkage was found and False otherwise.
GetElementLinkage = False
Dim linkageList As Variant
Dim linkCount As Long
key1 = 0
key2 = 0
If docObj.GetElementLinkage(categoryId, offset, linkageList, linkCount) Then
dataId = docObj.GetDataId(categoryId)
If linkCount > 0 Then
key1 = linkageList(0)
If linkCount > 1 Then
key2 = linkageList(1)
GetElementLinkage = True
The function above is for GTViewer, but it is very easy to use it with GTVx as well. You can either change the docObj reference to a GTVx1 (or whatever variable name you assigned to the control) or you can add something like the following to your code and use the same code for both GTViewer and GTVX. Write your code for GTViewer making sure to use the correct object when calling the methods (appObj, docObj, or viewObj). For GTVx, just define variables like the ones below in your general section:
Dim appObj As GTVx
Dim docObj As GTVx
Dim viewObj As GTVx
And somewhere in your code, assign the object variables to the GTVx control (Form_Load is a good place to do this):
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set appObj = GTVX1
Set docObj = GTVX1
Set viewObj = GTVX1
That is all you have to do. The function is provided in an appendix to the GTVx.doc file. There are other useful code snippets in this document as well.

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. — The Wyoming Department of Transportation was awarded the 2022 Environmental Excellence Award by the Federal Highway Administration.
WYDOT won this award in the category of Ecosystems, Habitats, and Wildlife for its efforts in the Snake River Bridge reconstruction and wildlife crossing integration project.
This is one of 14 awards that are given out nationwide in a variety of environmental categories.
The Snake River Bridge project was undertaken by WYDOT in collaboration with Wyoming Game and Fish, Teton County, and other community organizations. The project was designed to replace a bridge on Wyoming Highway 22 and expand it to accommodate local and migrating wildlife within the Greater Yellowstone National Park ecosystem.
The project will extend the bridge in order to accommodate a wildlife underpass and will include three additional wildlife crossings that will facilitate safer wildlife movements, especially for large animals such as moose, elk, and deer.
The Federal Highway Administration cited "WYDOT's exemplary achievement" and "extensive stakeholder collaboration, community engagement, and environmental considerations" in conferring the award.
The Snake River Bridge project will be set to contract this fall and construction could take place as early as spring 2023.


DF2014:Armor stand
From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
(Redirected from Armor stand)
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This article is about the current version of DF.
Armor Stand
Materials Workshops Labors
Armor stands are a type of furniture. Much like the weapon rack, the armor stand can be used to create a barracks. After being built (b-a), you may define the barracks dimensions (b-a, then +-). It can also be placed in a noble's room to appease them.
When used in a barracks designated for individual and squad equipment, dwarves will prefer to store their armor on stands instead of stockpiles. Doing so in concert with weapon racks will allow you to create centralized armories for your military.
Armor stands do not block dwarf movement.
Stockpile storage always takes priority over furniture, making armor stands all but useless for their practical purpose.

Moon Maid (comic)
Moon Maid
Publication information
Publisher Tribune Media Services
Created by Chester Gould
Moon Maid was a major character at one period in the Dick Tracy comic strip, then drawn by its creator, Chester Gould.
Gould, hoping to keep the strip evolving and changing with the times, slowly began changing the focus of the strip from a crime drama into one whose primary focus was science fiction. Tracy had always been equipped with the latest, most up-to-date police equipment, including forensic science, but with the introduction into the strip of eccentric industrialist Diet Smith as Tracy's friend in the 1940s, Tracy began to have the assistance of devices such as the two-way wrist radio, and later the two-way wrist TV.
The logical extension of this in Gould's mind was the introduction of space travel. Smith invented the magnetic-powered Space Coupe. With the use of this vehicle, Tracy and company landed on the moon in 1964, finding there an advanced race of humanoids whose high technology meshed remarkably well with that of Smith's. The Moon race looked like Caucasian humans except for having abnormally large eyes and giraffe-like horns on their foreheads.
 Fictional character biography
Moon Maid was the daughter of the Moon's supreme ruler, a male humanoid who was always identified as "the Governor of the Moon". It is not clear whether he was democratically elected, or some form of hereditary ruler. She served as a liaison between her race and the humans. She and her family became one of the strip's primary focuses for several years.
Moon Maid eventually married Junior, the now-adult adopted son of Dick Tracy. Her father the Governor resented this marriage. Eventually, Moon Maid became pregnant by Junior. Her father was anxious that the child be born on the Moon, so as to be legally a Moon denizen. An extremely contrived plot twist put the pregnant Moon Maid, Junior, Dick Tracy and the Governor all aboard a Space Coupe when Moon Maid gave birth at precisely the midpoint in space between Earth and the Moon.
The child, a girl, was named Honey Tracy and had slightly over-large eyes, and two prominent tufts of hair on her forehead in the position corresponding to Moon Maid's horns; we are never told what lies beneath those tufts. The daughter also demonstrated a magnetic ability to attract small metal objects to her hands; this talent never played an important role in the strip.
During this period, Dick Tracy himself had many adventures on the Moon, notably solving a murder case involving a man named Purdy Fallar who kept two of his fingernails extra-long, claiming they were for harvesting the meat of giant Escargot: a race of gigantic Moon snails, prized on Earth as delicacies. In reality he used his sharpened fingernails as throat-slashing weapons.
When the impending 1969 NASA moon landing threatened to make the preceding Moon stories look silly, Gould chose to return to the material that made the Dick Tracy strip famous—Earth-bound crime. The strip made one oblique reference to the Apollo 11 landing shortly after its completion, with Diet Smith commenting about some "equipment left behind" on the Moon (in a caption above a panel showing the abandoned Lunar Module).
 Later years
After Apollo 11, Moon Maid and Honey continued to remain on Earth, as wife and daughter of Junior; all references to their selenic origin were phased out, with Honey never demonstrating her magnetic talents, and Moon Maid identified solely as "Junior's wife". Both characters continued to appear sporadically, in greatly reduced roles. Soon after Rick Fletcher and Max Collins took over the strip in 1978, Moon Maid was murdered accidentally by a man named Little Littel who was trying to kill Tracy with a car bomb while trying to collect on a million dollar open contract on Tracy's head by elderly crime lord "Big Boy" Caprice. Little would later be killed himself in an explosion when Junior Tracy goes to his shop looking for revenge on his wife's murder.
Although Honey Tracy survived—now apparently retconned to be totally human—it was understood that this moment represented the termination of the strip's Moon years.

Adjustable birthing chair, Europe, _PHONE_
Childbirth is made more comfortable for the mother by the adjustable seat, back and arms of the chair. It is made from wood, padded leather and iron. The seat shape allows a clear route for the emerging baby and access for those assisting the birth. The chair is also known as a parturition chair. They were used from ancient times until the 1800s. The grooved parts on the bottom of the frame were used for leg rests, which the mother would use for support and to press against. Some birthing chairs have low centres of gravity so the mother can squat and still be supported by the chair.

text: According to material mechanics theory and drilling practice, the equation of lateral bending deformation (LBD) of drill was built and the inclined angle of drill tip was solved when drilling small hole. And then the drilling test was done and the character of drilling force was analyzed. Based on this, the LBD of drill was studied. The result shows that, the rise of lateral force and thrust force will increase the inclined angle of drill tip in drilling process, and lateral force is the main factor of generating LBD. By choosing suitable axial vibration parameter, axial vibration drilling can reduce the LBD of drill and improve the dimensional accuracy of hole evidently.

Pimlico to Teven - Pacific Highway upgrade
Roads and Maritime Services is upgrading the Pacific Highway between Pimlico Road and Teven Road, about 2.3km in length.
Updates and announcements
Motorists were moved onto the final alignment of the Bruxner Highway in August 2015.
Work is continuing on the new Duck Creek Bridge and the old Bruxner Highway road surface is being removed.
Reduced speed limits and traffic control will be in place and motorists are advised to allow extra travel time.
Pacific Highway motorists are continuing to use the new section of road just south of Duck Creek Bridge..
Motorists are travelling on the new section for about 750 metres, which then merges back onto the existing highway alignment.
Moving traffic off the existing highway enables further soft soil treatments to be carried out south of the Duck Creek Bridge along the alignment of the existing Pacific Highway.
- Building Duck Creek Bridge
- Removing the old Bruxner Highway pavement
- Installing soft soil ground treatment north of Duck Creek
- Removing excess material that was used for the soft soil treatments south of Duck Creek
- Start building the highway south of Duck Creek
- Sheet piling, water main and pavement works around Bruxner Highway.
Traffic management and reduced speed limits will be in place where needed to ensure the safety of workers, motorists and other road users
Every effort is being made to minimise impacts on motorists, the local community and the natural environment during this important upgrade.
- Contractors: Leighton Contractors
- Form of contract: Construct only
- Start date of major construction: Nov 2013
- Completion date: by mid 2016
- Project value: $92 million
Roads and Maritime Services is upgrading the Pacific Highway between Pimlico Road and Teven Road, about 2.3km in length. This work will facilitate the next phase of the highway upgrade, which is part of the overall Woolgoolga to Ballina Pacific Highway upgrade.
This project is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments.
The Pimlico to Teven upgrade is being delivered in three stages.
Stage one was completed by the Ballina Bypass Alliance. It involved soft soil treatment along a 350m section of the Pacific Highway southbound, near the intersection with Pimlico Road.
Stage two consists of:
- Building 2.3 kilometres of two lane single carriageway on the Pacific Highway (temporary tie-ins to the existing road included)
- Building 1.3 kilometres of two lane single carriageway on the Bruxner Highway
- Realignment of 300 metres of two lane single carriageway on Pimlico Road to create a new temporary intersection with the Pacific Highway
- Building a new 117 metre long bridge over Duck Creek (Pacific Highway)
- Providing a new 173 metre bridge over Emigrant Creek South (Bruxner Highway)
- Drainage alterations and landscape works
- Providing maintenance access roads on both sides of Emigrant Creek South.
At the end of stage two work, Bruxner Highway traffic will be shifted to the final traffic arrangement, and Pacific Highway traffic shifted to the final northbound carriageways.
Stage three will involve building the final southbound carriageway along the current highway alignment. This stage will be undertaken when further funding is available.

The tikz-external solution
You can use the tikz external library to cache tikz drawings:
Note that the \tikzexternalize command must be given in the main.tex file of the project, for tikz-externalization to work on Overleaf.
You will then need to create a tikz folder in your project. For this to work on Overleaf, the folder you create needs to have a (dummy) file in it—for example, you can add a blank foo.txt file in the tikz folder.
As the externalised tikz PDFs are considered as output files, you will not see them show up in the file list, but they are indeed present within the project. You can view the list of generated files to see them.
Some commands from other packages may cause errors in externalization mode; for example, \includepdf from the pdfpages. To get around this, you will need to "optimise" such commands away:
\tikzexternalize[prefix=tikz/,optimize command away=\includepdf]
There are too many of them!
However, if your drawings are too complex and there are too many of them, you will still get a timeout the first time the externalised files are generated. Building your project incrementally (by commenting different chunks of your project) may help, but bear in mind that all generated files are garbage collected at fixed intervals on the servers. Your project may then fail to compile when you next log in, and you'd have to re-generate them all incrementally again.
Generating the drawings locally
As a workaround, you can generate the files on a local machine first, by downloading your project and compiling it on your own local machine. After the compile completes, you should see the tikz folder containing.pdf,.md5,.dpth and.dpth files for each of your tikz drawings. If you then upload these files to your Overleaf project's tikz folder, your project will then use these files directly, and compilation should be fairly fast. These files won't be deleted by the server, as uploaded file are never garbage-collected.
A caveat: if you change your tikz code in future, you may have to delete the corresponding files in the tikz folder first, so that Overleaf can generate and use a new version. Alternatively, you can re-generate the files on your machine, and re-upload them to Overleaf. Remember that you need to replace all the.pdf,.md5,.dep and.dpth for that particular tikz drawing. On Overleaf v2, these files must be prefixed with output, instead of the filename of your.tex.
Generating the drawings in a separate project
Alternatively you can create a separate project that just contains the figure(s), you can include the output of the figure in your original project by clicking on the "Upload files" icon above the file list panel, and then choosing From another project. Select the project containing the tikz drawings, and then the select from output files option.
That way, you only have to compile the complicated figure once, and then you can include the resulting pdf as a normal figure with \includegraphics[page=1]{drawings.pdf} in your main project.
The separate project containing the tikz drawings can use the standalone or preview package, to produce output PDFs that are tightly cropped.
Here's some sample code using the standalone package:

text: Recently, Peltier device is considered as a suitable device to generate thermal sensation. In order to control the reproduction of the sensation accurately, it is important to know the amount of heat inflow, which is the heat exchanged between a thermal system and an external environment. For that purpose, the authors proposed a heat inflow observer, which is a disturbance observer-based estimation method of heat inflow. However, in the past research, the observer was evaluated only from a qualitative point of view. In this research, another thermal sensor is put on the thermal system as an external environment, and the validity of heat inflow observer is experimentally confirmed using the sensor. The experimental results show the superiority of the proposed observer in obtaining the amount of heat inflow.

Remove the black line surrounding text in opencv
asked 2019-06-06 09:08:05 -0500
I am trying to remove the black lines surrounding the text if present any. My purpose is to just have enough portion of the image to extract each character in it. The additional black lines are noise when i am trying to extract characters.
I have tried using floodfill in opencv but the image contains some white pixels before the black line starts in the upper left corner. So it hasn't been fruitful. I tried cropping by means of finding contours but even that does not work. This is the original image

 # create a mask for floodfill function, see documentation
 h,w,_ = img.shape
 mask = np.zeros((h+2,w+2), np.uint8)
 # determine which contour belongs to a square or rectangle
 for cnt in contours:
 poly = cv2.approxPolyDP(cnt, 0.02*cv2.arcLength(cnt,True),True)

 # if the contour has 4 vertices then floodfill that contour with black color
 cnt = np.vstack(cnt).squeeze()
 _,binary,_,_ = cv2.floodFill(bw, mask, tuple(cnt[0]), 0)

OpenCV's contours will work if you filter the contours by aspect ratio. In the image below the 2nd from the left is thresholded at about 150 using binaryInverse type thresholding. There is a function called boundingRect that will give the upright rect of a contour. Define the contour aspect ratio as rect.width / rect.height and only keep contours with AR < 1 since numbers are tall. This gives the 3rd image from the left. The last is just inverted.

SqlRowIdName (Class Keyword)
Overrides the default SQL field name for the ID column for this class. Applies only to persistent classes.
Usage
To override the default SQL field name for the ID column of this class, use the following syntax:
Class MyApp.MyClass [ SqlRowIdName = MyId ] { //class members }
Where MyId is an SQL identifier.
Details
This keyword overrides the default SQL field name used for the ID column.
When a persistent class is projected as an SQL table, the Object Identity value for each object is projected as an SQL column — the Row ID column. By default, the Row ID column is called ID. If the class has another field named ID, then ID1 is used (and so on). The SqlRowIdName keyword lets you set the name of the Row ID column directly.
Effect on Subclasses
This keyword is inherited from the primary superclass. The subclass can override the value of the keyword.
Default
If you omit this keyword, the SQL field name for the ID column for this class is ID

How to write parametrized query in phoenix using ecto
how to write parametrized query in phoenix using ecto?
What are you trying to achieve and what have you tried? There are plenty of resources on using Ecto with Phoenix. If you are trying to build dynamic filters, you can use the dynamic keyword. For example, something like:
 def get_users(filter_criteria) when is_map(filter_criteria) do
 # I haven't figured out how to start with an empty starting point,
 # so use a dummy initial filter
 criteria = dynamic([u], not is_nil(u.id))
 criteria = case filter_criteria["min_age"] do
 nil -> criteria
 age -> dynamic([u], u.age > ^age and ^criteria)
 end
 criteria = case filter_criteria["max_age"] do
 nil -> criteria
 age -> dynamic([u], u.age > ^age and ^criteria)
 end
 query = from u in Users,
 where: ^criteria
 Repo.all(query)
 end
There's a post here that explains it further: _URL_
Here's another similar discussion: Making queries in ecto with filters based on a map
Thanks mindok for the reply.
I want to write code which will prevent from sql injection attack.
You should be ok with this approach as Ecto handles all the proper escaping etc, but you should check the Ecto docs for yourself to verify.
If you use Ecto.Query then you should be safe, even with fragment it will use prepared statements and will prevent SQLi attacks.

CA Network Flow Analysis (NetQos / NFA)
Issue/Introduction
Where does NFA get the device IP from?
Devices will not show up in the NFA GUI with the network address. Network engineers must just a source address.
Environment
Release:
Component: NQRPTA
Resolution
To choose a source address you must choose an active interface with an IP Address on the device to source the flow.
Traditional Netflow example:
router1 (config)# ip flow-export source loopback0
Flexible Netflow example:
router1 (config)# flow exporter EXPORTER-1
router1 (config-flow-exporter)# loopback0
If a network engineer changes the source address, NFA will treat the new address as a separate router.
Recommendations:
 - Use the loopback address
 - Don't switch source addresses if you don't want data to split over different devices.

Preliminary prospectus
An initial or tentative version of a prospectus.
Preliminary Prospectus
The first prospectus distributed prior to a new issue of a security. The first prospectus contains information such as the terms of issue, the size of issue, and other, relevant data about the security. Importantly, however, it does not contain the new issue's price. Because the preliminary prospectus is subject to change and because the SEC requires part of it to be printed to red ink, it is informally called a red herring.

Lightning Data Services
08:02 3 Comments A+ a-
Lightning Data Services
What is LDS :
 LDS is Lightning Component that display the data on Page in Salesforce Lightning. Using LDS we don't need any apex controller to perform CRUD operation. using LDS we can increase the performance. It also provide the way to cache the data to work offline in case user is not connected to network. Once the connection is restored data will sync.
LDS also handle Field Level Security and sharing rules security. Record loaded in Lightning Data Services are stored in cache and shared between all components.Using LDS all component performance is increase because data is loaded once and used by many component, no need to make separate request from different-different components . when any of the component updates a record then other component will automatically updated with new value.
force:recordData :
 This tag is must be used to load the data in component using LDS.
Attributes of force:recordData :
recordId : Id of current page record that will be load
 mode : (Edit,View) its depend on what operation we are performing. If we want to update,create then Mode='Edit' else Mode='View'
layoutType : specify the layout type to display record and its determine what field are included in component.
 fields : specifies which fields in the record to query.
Target Attribute :
1. targetRecord : populate with loaded record.
2. targetField : view of loaded record.
3. targetError : populate with error.
Methods :
1. saveRecord() : insert of update the current record in force:recordData.
2. deleteRecord() : delete the current record in force:recordData.
3. getNewRecord() : load the new record instance to insert the record of that object from force:recordData.
4. reloadRecord() : reload the current record with new data.
Keep In Mind When Using It :
i. LDS is simple but it's not complete replacement of apex controller.
ii. LDS is not supported in lightning out and visualforce page. Its only for lightning.
iii. LDS perform CRUD only on single record. It's not supported for bulk data.
iv. In Summer 17, release LDS used force:recordPreview component.But now it's completely replaced by force:recordData. Difference between force:recordPreview and force:recordData is force:recordData returns record in new shape using UI API and targetfield is added in parameter.
v. To update from force:recordPreview to force:recordData is to change reference from targetRecord to targetField.
vi. If you want to query multiple operations in one transaction then use apex controller @AuraEnabled.
Example :
 Here we are creating a component that is added on Account detail page. It will create a new contact for current account record.
1. Create a new Record :
 Lightning Component :
 <aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForRecordHome, force:hasRecordId">
<aura:attribute name="newContact" type="Object"/>
<aura:attribute name="createContact" type="Object"/>
<aura:attribute name="newContactError" type="String"/>
<force:recordData aura:id="contactRecordCreator"
 layoutType="FULL"
 targetRecord="{!v.newContact}"
 targetFields ="{!v.createContact}"
 targetError="{!v.newContactError}"/>
<aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}"/>

 <lightning:card iconName="action:new_contact" title="Create Contact">

<lightning:input aura:id="contactField" label="First Name" value="{!v.createContact.FirstName}"/>
<lightning:input aura:id="contactField" label="Last Name" value="{!v.createContact.LastName}"/>
<lightning:button label="Save Contact" variant="brand" onclick="{!c.handleSaveContact}"/>

</lightning:card>

 <aura:if isTrue="{!not(empty(v.newContactError))}">

 {!v.newContactError}

 </aura:if>
 </aura:component>
 Lightning Controller :
 ({
 doInit: function(component, event, helper) {
 console.log('changes');
 component.find("contactRecordCreator").getNewRecord(
 "Contact", // sObject type (entityAPIName)
 null, // recordTypeId
 false, // skip cache?
 $A.getCallback(function() {
 var rec = component.get("v.newContact");
 var error = component.get("v.newContactError");
 if(error || (rec === null)) {
 console.log("Error initializing record template: " + error);
 }
 else {
 console.log("Record template initialized: " + rec.sobjectType);
 }
 })
 );
 },
 SaveContact: function(component, event, helper) {
 component.set("v.createContact.AccountId", component.get("v.recordId"));
 component.find("contactRecordCreator").saveRecord(function(saveResult) {
 if (saveResult.state === "SUCCESS" || saveResult.state === "DRAFT") {
 var resultsToast = $A.get("e.force:showToast");
 resultsToast.setParams({
 "title": "Saved",
 "message": "New Contact ."
 });
 resultsToast.fire();
 } else if (saveResult.state === "INCOMPLETE") {
 console.log("User is offline, device doesn't support drafts.");
 } else if (saveResult.state === "ERROR") {
 console.log(JSON.stringify(saveResult.error));
 } else {
 console.log('Unknown problem, state: ' + saveResult.state);
 }
 });
 }
 })
Result :
2. Delete A record :
 Here we added Delete Component on Account Detail Page. It will Delete Current Account when we click on Delete Button in below component.
Lightning Component :
<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId">
 <aura:attribute name="recordError" type="String" access="private"/>
 <force:recordData aura:id="dataRecord"
 recordId="{!v.recordId}"
 fields="Id"
 targetError="{!v.recordError}"
 recordUpdated="{!c.handleRecordUpdated}"/>

 <lightning:card iconName="delete" title="Delete Record">

<lightning:button label="Delete Record" variant="destructive" onclick="{!c.handleDeleteRecord}"/>

 </lightning:card>

 <aura:if isTrue="{!not(empty(v.recordError))}">

 {!v.recordError}

 </aura:if>
</aura:component>
Lightning Controller :
({
handleDeleteRecord: function(component, event, helper) {
 component.find("dataRecord").deleteRecord($A.getCallback(function(deleteResult) {
 if (deleteResult.state === "SUCCESS" || deleteResult.state === "DRAFT") {
 console.log("Record is deleted.");
 } else if (deleteResult.state === "INCOMPLETE") {
 console.log("User is offline, device doesn't support drafts.");
 } else if (deleteResult.state === "ERROR") {
 console.log('Problem deleting record, error: ');
 } else {
 console.log('Unknown problem, state: ');
 }
 }));
 },
 handleRecordUpdated: function(component, event, helper) {
 var eventParams = event.

This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Petition Increase school transport funding for 16 to 18 year olds in full time education.
In 2015 changes to the Education and Skills Act 2008 made it compulsory for young people to continue in education, employment or training until the age of 18. Therefore, school transport funding to local authorities should be increased to include 16-18 year olds that remain in full-time education.
Currently the eligibility for free school transport ceases at age 16. This is because the old school leaving age was 16. Now that the school leaving age has effectively been increased to 18, the eligibility for free school transport should also be increased and should include any young person remaining in full-time education be it at a school or college. The justification for free school transport for 4-16 year olds also stands for 17 to 18 year olds.
This petition closed early because of a General Election Find out more on the Petitions Committee website

A Metamorphmagus
Remus Lupin on his infant son's Metamorphic abilities[src]
Difference between Animagi and Metamorphagi
"Metamorphmagi are born, not made."
—Tonks explaining to Harry about Metamorphmagi[src]
Using Metamorphic abilities
—Tonks regarding her Metamorphmagus abilities[src]
Nymphadora Tonks changing her facial features at will and with ease
It is unknown whether Metamorphmagi receive any training in developing their innate skill, or if they learn through trial and error; given their rarity, it is unlikely that much training is available. However, Tonks has shown that she only needs to concentrate a little to change her appearance, so it may be simply a matter of the Metamorphmagi wanting to change. While it has been debated whether Animagi transformations and Disapparition require a wand, it seems Metamorphmagi do not need theirs to utilise their abilities, as Tonks has claimed that other wizards need a wand or potions to transform, meaning Metamorphmagi such as herself are not restricted as such.
Tonks angry
Tonks' hair changing colour under the influence of her emotion
It is unknown if Metamorphmagi must register with the Ministry of Magic like Animagi must, as Metamorphmagi did not choose to become what they are, while Animagi did. Although unlike Animagi, Metamorphmagi do not possess any distinct markings that come with their transformation, so it would be far more difficult to keep track of them for any signs of ability abuse.
Like many other types of magic, a Metamorphmagus' abilities are affected by his or her emotional state. The person's appearance at any moment will often reflect the emotion the person is feeling at the time. Strong emotions, such as shock or sadness, can affect their abilities to the point of having trouble using them at all. For example, Nymphadora Tonks had difficulty using her abilities following Sirius Black's death, when she was depressed over her feelings for Remus Lupin.[3]
Metamorphic abilities can be very helpful when it comes to disguises. For example, Nymphadora Tonks was able to put her abilities to use in performing espionage for the Order of the Phoenix. She also got full marks in Concealment and Disguise of her Auror training, implying that this ability can be used for official examinations and competitions.[1]
Albus Dumbledore wrote an article examining whether it was possible for Metamorphmagi to use their transformational abilities to disappear without a trace in a 1926 issue of Transfiguration Today.[4]
Known Metamorphmagi
Behind the scenes
 - In latin, the female form of Magus is Maga. However, female Metamorphmagi are never refered to as "Metamorphmaga" or "Metamorphmagae", which would be the female plural, in canon.

text: In this paper, a new algorithm based on Meshless Local Petrov-Galerking (MLPG) method is presented for analyzing the crack dynamic propagation. A new modified Moving Least Squares approximation is proposed to simplify the treatment of essential boundary conditions. Explicit central difference with lumped mass matrix is adopted for the time integral. Visibility criterion with crack edge node adding technique and the maximum hoop stress criterion are used to describe the crack propagation and forecast the crack propagation direction. Based on this algorithm, three-point bend specimen for impact fracture test is investigated. Comparing the results with those obtained by the laser caustic method and high-speed photographs, the accuracy of the present algorithm is proved.
