12/03/2017 - What Is HIIT and How Does It Work?

What tech does the Department of Homeland Security want to implement to improve border security?
What tech does the Department of Homeland Security want to implement to improve border security?
Answer: Facial scanning and recognition.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may be taking a page out of Apple’s book when it comes to identification and security. Apple’s latest and greatest iPhone, the iPhone X, boasts facial recognition technology that will make proving yourself to your phone more convenient than ever — all you have to do is look at it. DHS wants to provide similar levels of convenience to travelers crossing U.S. borders.
“This call is looking for innovative solutions to capture facial recognition quality photos from travelers in order to facilitate identity checks without requiring occupants to leave the vehicle,” said the call for proposals.
DHS’ Silicon Valley office will host an “industry day” on Nov. 14 in order to explore opportunities for making this idea a reality. According to the call for proposals, DHS wants the system to be able to reliably identify occupants of a vehicle even when their faces are obscured by hats or sunglasses, or turned away from the camera.

One of the most well known luxury creams available – Crème De La Mer, is a household name, even after 30 years. It retails at a shocking $490 for a 60ml tub. I try to give an in-depth look at this moisturizer. Why is it so expensive, and is it worth your money?
La Mer says that Crème De La Mer is “Ultra-rich”, and gives a “dewy finish”.
Look: White porcelain tub with a white screw cap. Container is heavy because of the thickness of the porcelain tub. It is claimed that the purpose of the thick porcelain container is to keep the cream cool and avoid exposure to the fluctuations of environmental changes. Putting the cream in the porcelain tub also means that it is not necessary to refrigerate it.
Smell and texture: Cream is ultra-rich with consistency similar to that of a toothpaste. A small amount is required for each application as it is very thick and rich. Skin feels sticky and heavy even after leaving it in for a long time. The sticky feeling does not go away. It has a strong fragrance between a cross of shower cream and baby powder.
The Main Ingredients are algae, mineral oil, petrolatum, glycerin, sesame seed oil and eucalyptus leaf oil – Unfortunately, all these are found in many products at any retail store, at a fraction of the price.
Algae extract is at the top in the ingredient list. Algae is used as thickeners, water-binding agents, and anti-oxidants in skin care. Some algae can be rich in proteins, vitamin A, vitamin B1 and other minerals. There is also some scientific evidence to show that algae has anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and whitening properties. However, algae is a simple single cell organism – available in many products these days, and it certainly does not cost an arm and a leg.
Petrolatum, glycerin are common moisturizing ingredients – great for dry skin. If they sound familiar, it is because they are also found in Vaseline.
Why is Crème De La Mer SO Expensive?
Crème de La Mer is a 50 year old formula – said to be born after NASA astrophysicist Max Huber created a cream to heal his own scars following a laboratory accident. The beauty industry was very different then – there were very few creams which were scientifically proven to work, cosmetic lasers were rare, and certainly, there were no Botox or Fillers for anti-aging. Hence, people were ready to pay a lot of money for a skin product which worked.
The world needed a cult beauty cream with “miraculous” results – and Crème De La Mer, with a marvelous back story, became that cream. With strong moisturizing ingredients, healing botanical oils and algae extract, Crème de La Mer no doubt reduces fine lines, heals redness, and has some anti-aging and moisturizing properties. But today, many other creams do the same, or better, at a fraction of the price. They just do not have “NASA”, and a cult following to justify the ridiculous price. People even compared Crème De La Mer to a $1 Nivea cream, or a $25 Olay night cream, and found no difference in results between the 2.
Estee Lauder currently owns the La Mer brand and developed it after buying the rights from the founder’s daughter. Riding on its reputation, exclusivity, and history, it continues to market Crème de La Mer as the miracle cream we all need – at $740 for 100ml.
The ingredients in Crème De La Mer are generally safe, with good moisturizing properties, but if you have sensitive skin, please do a patch test behind your ear before using it on the whole face.
Crème De La Mer is an ultra-rich night cream which works well to heal and anti-age skin. However, its formula, while novel 50 years ago, no longer commands the wonder it did, and definitely not the hefty price tag. Many cheaper creams today work just as well. In fact, Radium’s Night Repair Cream, which I launched earlier this month, has similar moisturizing properties, is less comedogenic, contains 2016 rather than 1960 active ingredients, and of course, costs only a fraction of the price.
In summary – you can try it to experience the hype and the legend if you have deep pockets; otherwise, there are many cheaper alternatives out there which will work as well.
The views expressed in this article are entirely my own, and should not replace a consultation with your doctor. I am not sponsored by La Mer in the review of this product.

A nurse put 100 gloves into 4 containers. She puts gloves in the containers in such a way that each container has two more gloves than the one before. How many gloves are in each container?
Answer: 22, 24, 26, and 28 gloves.
Let X be the number of gloves in the first container. Then there are X+2 gloves in the 2-nd container, X+4 gloves in the 3-rd container, and X+6 gloves in the 4-th container. Hence, we have X+X+2+X+4+X+6=100. Solving for X, we get X=22 gloves in the first container, 24 gloves in the 2-nd container, 26 gloves in the 3-rd container and 28 gloves in the 4-th container.

Digital watermarking is a technique that embeds additional data into digital contents so that the distortion by embedding them is perceptually undetectable . The distortion of watermarked images by general digital watermarking methods is fixed only after embedding. Some digital watermarking methods  prevent the degradation of the image quality of watermarked images by using human visual system. However the lower limit of the image quality of the watermarked images was not clear. Such obscurity of the lower limit disturbs the practical use of digital watermarking.
The method proposed by Yoshiura and Echizen  decided the embedding strength by introducing uniform color space so that the degradation of all regions in a image was equalized. However there is the fact that the degradation by modification in uniform color space depends on the direction of the modification described in Section 2.
In this paper, we propose a digital watermarking method warranting the lower limit of the image quality of watermarked images. The proposed method controls the degradation of a watermarked image by using a lower limit image. The lower limit image means the image of the worst quality that users can permit. The proposed method accepts any lower limit image and does not require it at extraction. Therefore lower limit images can be decided flexibly. In this paper, we introduce 2-dimensional human visual MTF model as an example of obtaining lower limit images. Also we use JPEG-compressed images of quality 75% and 50% as lower limit images, which are popular formats as degraded images.
The rest of this paper consists of five sections. We describe our approach in Section 2 and introduce the existing techniques in Section 3. Then we describe the detail of the proposed method in Section 4 and show and discuss the performance of the proposed method in Section 5. Finally we conclude this paper in Section 6.
We assume that there is a range in which the changes for pixel values are imperceptible. We call the range "perceptual capacity." Existing methods do not modify pixel values in the perceptual capacity strictly. Therefore we introduce a lower limit image which means the image of the worst quality that users can permit, that is, which provides with perceptual capacity. The contribution of the introduction of lower limit images is the separation of perceptual capacity and watermarking procedures. The separation yields the independence of investigation.
The proposed method warrants the lower limit of the image quality of a watermarked image by approximating an original image to the corresponding lower limit image for embedding. Moreover we introduce L a b color space for equalizing the degradation by embedding, where L a b color space is one of the popular uniform color spaces. Then the quality of a watermarked image is between that of the original image and that of the lower limit image in L a b color space. The lower limit image can be decided flexibly because the proposed method does not require it at extraction.
In general, the modification with the same quantity in a uniform color space perceptually yields the same degradation. However the direction of the modification is important, too. We found this fact by comparing the degradation of the modified images approaching human visual filtered images with that of the modified images leaving the filtered images, where the modification was done in L a b color space. The human visual filter cuts off redundant component for visual sensation. Figure 1 shows the difference in quality by the direction of modification, where the human visual filter used here is mathematical 2-dimensional human visual MTF model described in Section 3.2.2. As shown in Figure 1, the degradation of the modified image approaching the filtered image is more imperceptible than that of the modified image leaving the filtered image. We utilize this feature by employing the images filtered by mathematical 2-dimensional human visual MTF model as one of the types of lower limit images. Also we use JPEG compressed images of quality 75% and 50% as lower limit images, which are popular formats as degraded images. In other words, employing the MTF model is a theoretical approach to generate lower limit images, while using JPEG-compression is a practical approach.
Difference by the direction of modification.
In this section, we describe XYZ color space, L a b color space, and opponent color space in Sections 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and 3.1.3, respectively.
XYZ color space is a color space established by CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) in 1931. The transformation of sRGB color space into XYZ color space is as follows .
where , and are the values in gamma-transformed sRGB color space, and , and are the values in sRGB color space.
L a b color space is one of uniform color spaces established by CIE in 1976 . In a uniform color space, the distances between colors are fixed based on the perceptual differences between the colors [3, 5, 6].
where , and are coefficients which depend upon the illuminant (for daylight illuminant D65, , and ).
where , , and represent luminance channel and the opponent channels of red-green and yellow-blue, respectively.
Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) describes the relationship between spacial frequency and contrast sensitivity. Spatial frequency is a measure of how often a structure repeats per unit of distance. As shown in Figure 2, any pattern corresponds to the spacial frequency. On the other hand, contrast sensitivity is a measure of the ability to discern luminances of different levels in a static image. Contrast sensitivity depends on spatial frequency. For example, it tends to be high for medium spatial frequency, while it tends to be low for high spatial frequency.
Patterns with low spatial frequency and high spatial frequency.
Figure 3 shows the shape of human visual MTF for luminance. As shown in Figure 3, contrast sensitivity is numerically expressed by MTF. In human visual MTF for luminance, contrast sensitivity is high for medium spatial frequency and is suddenly low for high spatial frequency. It is known that the shape of human visual MTF for other color stimulus is similar to that for luminance.
Shape of human visual MTF for luminance.
Ishihara et al. [7, 8] and Miyake  revealed that human visual MTF depends on directivity in spatial frequency and mean of stimulus. Moreover they proposed mathematical 2-dimensional human visual MTF model about tristimulus on opponent color space.
where represents the maximum value of horizontal contrast sensitivity on human visual MTF when the mean of stimulus is equal to .
where and represent the means of all and in an image, respectively. In the literature [7–9], is not calculated when . For the correction of this incident, we regard as when so as to obey the meaning of contrast sensitivity. Figure 4 shows the shapes of and with or without the correction.
The filter of 2-dimensional human visual MTF model cuts aoff imperceptible components from images. In this paper, only red-green and yellow-blue channels are filtered, which are based on the characteristic that modification in luminance is more perceptual than that in red-green or yellow-blue channel.
An original image with pixels is transformed into opponent color space. Let and be the values of red-green and yellow-blue channels located at the coordinate respectively.
and are transformed into and by discrete Fourier transform (DFT), respectively.
The filtered pixel values in opponent color space are obtained from and by inverse DFT. Then the lower limit image is obtained by the transformation of opponent color space into sRGB color space.
Firstly we divide an original image with pixels and the corresponding lower limit image into blocks with pixels. Moreover the blocks are divided into subblocks with pixels. Let and be the -th block in the original image and the lower limit image, respectively, where , . Let and be the -th subblock in and respectively, where , (" " is omitted in the representation of and for simplicity). The proposed method embeds one watermark bit into one block. Let be the watermark bit embedded in .
The embedding procedure of is as follows.
Let be the pixel value located at in , where . Then the pixel value is regarded as the point in L a b color space. In the same manner, and are defined from .
where means the maximum integer which is smaller than . The quantizer acts as embedding strength.
The quantized mean will be modified so as to be even when and be modified so as to be odd when by the following steps (Step 7~Step 9).
The watermarked points are transformed into sRGB color space, where the transformation of real numbers into integers (round-up or round-down) is decided so that the influence on is minimized. Then we obtain the watermarked block .
We obtain the watermarked image after all watermark bits have been embedded.
Firstly we obtain the blocks and the subblocks from a watermarked image in the same manner as embedding procedure.
The extracting procedure for a block is as follows.
The pixel values in are transformed into L a b color space and are regarded as the points in L a b color space.
The sum of in is obtained for each sub-block in the same manner as (12).
The mean of the sums of all subblocks in is obtained in the same manner as (13).
We obtain all the watermark bits after extracting for all blocks.
Firstly we investigated the image quality of watermarked images and lower limit images. Then we confirmed that embedded watermark bits were perfectly extracted from watermarked images. Next we investigated the available range of the embedding strength because the embedding strength should be decided so that the ratio can exist. Moreover we investigated the property of the proposed method when the embedding strength was variable for each block. The variable embedding strength was the maximum value for each block. Finally we investigated the robustness against JPEG compression and the comparison with an existing method in view of image quality and robustness.
As shown in Figure 6 we used twelve color images "aerial," "airplane," "balloon," "couple," "earth," "girl," "lena," "mandrill," "milkdrop," "parrots," "pepper", and "sailboat" as original images. They were standard images widely used for experiments. The size of all original images was 256 256 pixels, that is, , and . We used and as the size of blocks and subblocks, respectively. All the watermark bits were decided so as to satisfy . Then the watermarked images that used such watermark bits were worst degraded among those that used any watermark bit. We used as the embedding strength so that the ratio in Step 9 in Section 4.1 could exist, where represents the minimum value of the larger ones of and in each block. The lower limit images consist of three types, that is, "MTF" which is described in Section 3.2, and "JPEG75" and "JPEG50" which are JPEG-compressed images of quality 75% and 50%. The quality 75% of JPEG compression is the standard quality.
where and represent the means of and respectively, and and represent the variances of and respectively. The constant values and are defined as default values, that is, and respectively.
Figures 7~9 show the watermarked images using "MTF," "JPEG75", and "JPEG50" as the lower limit images, respectively. As shown in Figure 7~9, the degradation of all the watermarked images was imperceptible.
Table 2 shows the PSNRs of the watermarked images and the lower limit images against the original images. As shown in Table 2, the PSNRs of the watermarked images except for "milkdrop" and "sailboat" are the lowest when the type of the lower limit images is "MTF." The PSNRs of the watermarked images "milkdrop" and "sailboat" using "MTF" are higher than those using "JPEG50," although the PSNRs of the lower limit images of type "MTF" are less than those of type "JPEG50." This suggests that the arbitrariness of the type of lower limit images is useful. Although the PSNRs of the watermarked images "aerial" and "mandrill" using "MTF" were less than 37 [dB] and were relatively low, the degradation of these images was imperceptible because these images mainly consisted of texture-like or noisy regions as shown in Figure 7.
PSNRs of watermarked images and lower limit images against original images.
Figure 10 shows the lower limit images of type "MTF." As shown in Figure 10, the degradation of the lower limit images of type "MTF" appeared as emphasizing the difference of color, for example, the hair in "mandrill" or the profile of parrots in "parrots." Such degradation tends to be imperceptible. Therefore the images filtered by 2-dimensional human visual MTF model were appropriate for lower limit images in view of the direction of modification by embedding. However the lower limit images of type "MTF" were slightly inappropriate in view of the strength of modification by embedding because some degradation was perceptible as shown in Figure 10. Therefore one of the future works is the improvement of the decision of the embedding strength.
Table 3 shows the minimum and maximum of the embedding strength . The minimum values of of "JPEG75" and "JPEG50" are similar to those of "MTF." The minimum of the embedding strength was fixed so that the embedded watermark could be perfectly extracted from the watermarked image. The maximum of the embedding strength was fixed so that the ratio could exist (the maximum of is equal to ). As shown in Table 3, the range of available depended on images. In "balloon" and "parrots," the flexibility of was low because the maximum of is equal to the minimum of . It is the future work to investigate the relationship between the range of available embedding strengths and the robustness against attacks.
The minimum and maximum of .
We investigated the property of the proposed method when the maximum of ( ) of each block is used; that is, embedding strength is variable by a block. The demerit of using the maximum of of each block is the increase of the quantity of data saved for extracting. In the following, we call the methods using the same and the maximum of "sameQ" and "maxQ", respectively. Note that the high maximum of in Table 3 does not always cause the low PSNR of the watermarked image of "maxQ" with such because the PSNR does not depend on the maximum of among all blocks but on the distribution of for each block when the maximum of of each block is used.
Figures 11~13 show the watermarked images using "MTF," "JPEG75", and "JPEG50" as the lower limit image, respectively. The embedding strength of all the watermarked images is "maxQ". Table 4 shows the PSNRs of watermarked images using the maximum of of each block. The degradation of all the watermarked images using "JPEG75" and "JPEG50" was imperceptible. The degradation of the watermarked image "mandrill" using "MTF" was slightly perceptible as scattered green dots in the hair of mandrill. Table 4 shows the PSNRs of the watermarked images using "maxQ" as the embedding strength. Although PSNR of "airplane" using "MTF" is under 30 [dB], the degradation of "airplane" was imperceptible because the degradation was chromatic. On the other hand, although the degradation of "mandrill" was mainly texture-like chromatic noise on texture-like regions, the degradation of "mandrill" was slightly perceptible because the modification by embedding was large. We confirmed that the use of "MTF" caused not only the right direction of the modification by embedding but also too large modification by embedding. However we obtained practical results when we use "JPEG75" and "JPEG50" as the lower limit images.
PSNRs of watermarked images using the maximum of of each block.
Table 5 shows the MSSIMs between watermarked images and lower limit images. As shown in Table 5, we confirmed that all the watermarked images were similar to the lower limit images because all the MSSIMs were high. It is natural that the MSSIMs of "maxQ" are larger than those of "sameQ" because the use of larger yields the closer watermarked images to the lower limit images. It is the reason why the MSSIMs of "maxQ" are not 1.0 that there are some pixels of which are equal to 0 in (18) or (19).
MSSIM between watermarked images and lower limit images.
We define the number of correctly extracted bits divided by the number of all embedded bits as extraction rate. Tables 6 and 7 show the extraction rates in JPEG compression of quality 75% and 90%, respectively.
Extraction rates in JPEG compression of quality 75%.
Extraction rates in JPEG compression of quality 90%.
As shown in Table 6, the proposed method using "sameQ" had no robustness against JPEG compression of quality 75%. Using "maxQ," some extraction rates of "JPEG75"and "JPEG50" against JPEG compression of quality 75% were larger than 90%. It was noticeable that some extraction rates of "JPEG75" were larger than those of "JPEG50" although the PSNRs of "JPEG75" were larger than those of "JPEG50." The investigation of the relationship between lower limit images and robustness is one of our future works.
As shown in Table 7, the proposed method using "sameQ" had partial robustness against JPEG compression of quality 90%. On the other hand, almost all the extraction rates using "maxQ" were equal to 100%. Therefore the proposed method using "maxQ" had the robustness against JPEG compression of quality 90%.
We use the existing method proposed by Yoshiura and Echizen in the literature  for comparison. Yoshiura's method used the correlation of 2-dimensional random sequences which was one of popular watermarking procedures. Moreover Yoshiura's method took into consideration human visual system by using L u v color space which was one of uniform color spaces. Therefore Yoshiura's method was appropriate to the comparison.
Figure 14 shows the original image "mandrill" and the watermarked images of the existing method and the proposed methods using "sameQ-MTF" and "maxQ-JPEG50." The PSNRs of the watermarked images were approximately equalized as described in Figure 14. As shown in Figure 14, chromatic block noises were perceptible in the watermarked image of the existing method, while the degradation was imperceptible in the watermarked images of the proposed methods using "sameQ-MTF" and "maxQ-JPEG50" although the PSNRs of of the proposed methods were lower than the PSNR of the existing method. Figure 15 shows the enlarged partial regions of the images in Figure 14. As shown in Figure 15, the degradation of each watermarked image was able to be observed in detail. The degradation of the existing method was chromatic block noise. The degradation of the proposed method using "sameQ-MTF" was strong chromatic edge enhancement. The degradation of the proposed method using "maxQ-JPEG50" was imperceptible even if the partial region was enlarged. It was the reason why the degradation of the proposed method using "maxQ-JPEG50" was not block noise that the location of the pixels modified by embedding was scattered by (18) and (19).
Figures 16~19 show the comparison of Yoshiura's method and the proposed method using "MTF," "JPEG75" or "JPEG50" as the lower limit images and "sameQ", or "maxQ" as the embedding strength. The horizontal axis of the graphs in Figures 16~19 represents PSNR[dB] of watermarked images, while the vertical axis represents extraction rate[%]. In Figures 16~19, the performance of the proposed method is represented by the point for each condition, while that of the existing method is represented by the curve. We evaluated the superiority of the proposed method by checking whether the point of the proposed method was above the curve of the existing method or not. As shown in Figures 16 and 17, only the point corresponding to "maxQ-JPEG75" was above the curve of the existing method for the results of all test images. Therefore the proposed method using "maxQ-JPEG75" was superior to the existing method for all test images in view of the robustness against JPEG compression of quality 75%. In comparison with each parameter of the proposed method, in the results of "balloon," "mandrill," and "parrots," the point corresponding to "maxQ-JPEG50" was located on the upper-left of "maxQ-JPEG75." The superiority of "maxQ-JPEG50" on the above cases would be decided depending on the importance of an extraction rate and a PSNR. As shown in Figures 18 and 19, the points corresponding to "maxQ-JPEG75" and "maxQ-JPEG50" were above the curve of the existing method for the results of all test images. Therefore the proposed method using "maxQ-JPEG75" or "maxQ-JPEG50" was superior to the existing method for all test images in view of the robustness against JPEG compression of quality 90%. Moreover the extraction rates of "maxQ-JPEG75" and "maxQ-JPEG50" for all test images were over 95%, where the errors could be recovered by using error correcting codes. In comparison with each parameter of the proposed method, the PSNRs of "maxQ-JPEG75" were higher than those of "maxQ-JPEG50" for all test images. From above discussion, the performance of "maxQ-JPEG75" was totally the best because of the imperceptibility shown in Figure 12 and the robustness against JPEG compression.

We have proposed a watermarking method warranting the lower limit of the image quality of watermarked images. The proposed method warrants the lower limit of the image quality of watermarked images by introducing lower limit images and equalizes the degradation by embedding on watermarked images by using L a b color space. We have investigated the image quality of watermarked images, the validity of the lower limit images filtered by mathematical 2-dimensional human visual MTF model, the flexibility of the embedding strength, the performance using the maximum of of each block, the similarity between watermarked images and lower limit images, the robustness against JPEG compression, and the comparison with the existing method. Our future works should be to investigate the relationship between the robustness against general image processing and lower limit images and to improve the decision of the embedding strength for each block so as to improve the tradeoff of PSNR and an extraction rate.

I find general schedules very useful.  They are provided by the Records Management Division of the Virginia State Library to localities in Virginia.  Though the retention periods are meant as minimum we enforcde them as much as possible.  We go over the schedules with the various departments in our jurisdiction and amend retention as need for those departments who can justify the need for longer retention periods.
We stand firm on the minimum period for those departments who can not provide us with an explanation of why they need to maintain records longer than the State's recommendation.

Process Gases A range of quality gases and gas mixtures for modified and controlled atmosphere packaging.
We have identified the process gases that are in high demand by so that there is always sufficient stock for our customers.
Should you require large volumes of any specific mixture, please contact us so that we can work out a suitable supply plan for you.
All food is subject to deterioration. For consumers this means loss of flavour, loss of colour, and microbial spoilage.
These effects can be retarded and the shelf life extended, in some cases almost indefinitely by the use of a gas packaging technique known as Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP).
Can be utilised on its own or together with other preservation techniques such as the Cook-Chill process.
Can extend product shelf life easily and economically without the need for vacuum packaging, artificial preservatives or freezing.

Do thermocouples measure absolute temperature or temperature difference? Answer: Temperature difference because the output is proportional to the temperature difference between the reference and the measuring junctions.
Do resistance thermometers measure absolute temperature or temperature difference? Answer: Absolute temperature because the sensor's resistance is dependent on the its local average temperature.
What is the temperature scale in use in the UK and is Centigrade the unit of measurement? Answer: The International Temperature Scale of 1990 with Celsius as the unit of measurement.
Is temperature the amount of thermal energy an object has? Answer: Temperature is better described as the intensity of the thermal energy or the kinetic energy density.
Do temperature measurements need an uncertainty associated with them? Answer: All measurements are useless without an uncertainty.

Question: Mr. Paige is an only child. Mr and Mrs Paige have 3 daughters and for each daughter in the family there is a brother how many members are in the Paige family?
Answer: 9, because including Mrs. Paige there is 4 daughters.
Mrs. Paige's brother is not a Paige, so only 8.
For each daughter in the family there is a brother. It is not referring to Mrs. Paige's brother, it is referring to a brother in the family (i.e. a son of Mr. and Mrs. Paige), so the answer is 9.

Question: How many words constitute a fictional short story? Not a short, short story but a short story.
Answer: Generally, a short story is any story under 7,500 words. Anything under 1,000 words is often termed flash fiction.
However, these definitions are not fixed. Sometimes works up to 20,000 words have been called short stories. You have to check with individual publishers (such as literary magazines, websites, contests, etc.) to see what length of stories they are looking for and what terms they are using to describe them (e.g. micro-fiction, novelette, novella, postcard fiction).
At the extreme lower end there are also "six word memoirs," such as this famous one attributed to Hemingway: "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn."

As a rule, one centimeter of rain is equal to how much snow?

Question: There are these polar bears. And one day they decide to go fishing. So they go out on the ice, they cut a hole, and they sit around it. They catch 2 Karp and 7 Blue Gill. They say, that was some good fishing. Let's roll the dice. They role a 4 and a 3. How many polar bears were there?
Answer: Look at a die. If the "polar bears" cut a hole in the ice, it would be in the center. Every mark around the center represents a polar bear. So if they roll a 4 and a 3, there are six total marks around the center. A mark in the center does not count.

Well long story short, I've only got my cranks and pedals back! BOOM! thanks to the questionable security preferences of almost everyone on the internet I emailed his dad (who works at the local church) with all the info I'd gleaned and suggested he have a chat with his son otherwise he might have some explaining to do once he got or the pearly gate. Turns out his son is actually a pretty stand up lad who builds bikes from his back yard and sells them on. Phoned me up after I sent his dad the email apologising profusely and I've just gone and picked up the cranks and the pedals that got nicked, and he gave me the money back for the pedals I bought in order to get his deets.
Told him he should use his building skills and get a job as a mechanic rather than toeing the line, but sounds like there's too much of an industry in building bikes from questionable parts to bother. Who knew?? Anyway apparently Vauxhall Market sounds like a den of stolen kit, and I don't think he'll be buying relatively unique looking kit ever again. Will update the PO PO on the Vauxhall market lead but they probably already know about that. Thanks for the info guys and the police officer linked at the beginning of the thread is a proper gent as we're all the other officers I dealt with.
Ah, thanks for the info. Where's Vauxhall Market? I can see Nine Elms and one at the station.
The experience of years of following this is that the spots where these things are traded move from market to market once the existing one(s) is/are worked on by police.
Years ago there were frequent reports of bits and bikes being traded at New Covent Garden or Nine Elms, I can't quite remember which.
Can confirm that Nine Elms is still rammed full of stolen stuff, went down there early on Sunday a few weeks back to have a look for a bike of mine and there's whole bikes, frames and 'assorted' components everywhere. Can we get a sticky going of known fencing spots for stolen bikes?
My mate’s pretty unique bike was nicked from outside his coffee shop - Lanark on Hackney Road last night. If anyone sees it please let me know. Sentimental value, and quite a few new bits recently.
Specialized Hardrock, 1x setup with mudguards covered in stickers and a CND style front rack.
got this bike for a friend a few weeks ago and then got stolen from his yard in london fields a week later. black jamis beatnik. had distinctive floral platform pedals (sans straps). let me know if you have any leads.
I believe significantly more people read that thread than this. This one's meant for the advice in the first post and necessary updates to it. If you have a piece of good advice that's not already included, make sure to post it here.

Mine was stolen today. The time that I locked my 'Bespoke' blue Mercian road bike bike, lugged and brazed, Reynolds 531 double butted tubes, with 10 mm shot in seat stays, drop handlebars, dark blue handlebar tape , with my two 10 mm diameter locks is about 2 minutes before 12.11 pm this afternoon when I took this ( now final) photo attached, of my bike today, Sat 26th Jan 2019.
The data; date, time, location, from my phone camera is in the attached photo file, but I've screen shot and attached the data too.
the frame number is , I think.
Stamped next to this, on the underside of my bottom bracket shell 20BB3 3LS.
The bike has some very rare components.
Large flange campagnolo rear hub. 36 hole. Stainless steel spokes.
1 inch Campagnolo Record Headset .
Campagnolo Record cast drop outs. Brazed on carrier bosses, mudguard eyes and bottle cage bosses.
Shimano Durace , single pivot, side pull, 10 mm bolted on brakes.
Pannier rack and silver mudguards.
Single 42 tooth 175 mm black Shimano single chainset .
One silver, one black brake cable.
Spd Shimano single sided pedals.
Lamp boss on front fork, rhs.
Mercian transfers on the front fork.
2 combinations locks . Both cut, one left at the scene.
Brand new rear inner tube, fitted just this morning.
A custom built Mercian Reynolds tubed frame and forks would be around £1,000 new.
Made by Mercian Cycles of Derby. A specialist steel frame builder.
Some of the other parts are vintage and cannot be replaced.
But a new equivalent bike, plus saddle bag, locks , pump, Cateye lights etc, would be £1400 or so.
My bike is 'covered' on our house insurance, but the excess is about £200 Plus a claim would mean higher premiums for several years.

Hi guys I just had my beloved Cinelli Gazette Black Frais stolen in Hide PARK Corner. It very distinctive as is all wrapped in perforated black tape normally used on the handle bar. When I say all wrapped I mean literally every tube is wrapped with that tape. It looks it may be carbon fiber but in reality is stealth black colour which mimic the carbon. I am very distraught about the theft and hoping the community will look out for it. Frame number 54LY14050143. Picture of the bike just below. Please near in mind is not longer fitted with road handle bar but a rather straight one.

If you need to round a number down to the nearest specified multiple (i.e. round a number down to the nearest dollar, down to the nearest $.25, down to the nearest multiple of 5, etc.) you can use the FLOOR function.
This tells Excel to take the value in B6 ($69.23 ) and round it down to the nearest multiple of the value in C6 (3). The result is $69.00, since 69 is the multiple of 3 before 69.23. Likewise, in cell D7, we get 63 when rounding down using a multiple of 7.
You can use FLOOR to round prices, times, instrument readings or any other numeric value.
Note that FLOOR rounds down using the multiple supplied. You can use the MROUND function to round to the nearest multiple and the CEILING function to round up with a multiple.

Amortization schedules can jumble me sometimes.
I am about 6 years into a 30 year mortgage, and am planing to do a contingent sale and use the proceeds as a down payment on a new home in the next one to three years. It seems like pre-paying principle would be making more than the mortgage interest rate (3.5%) in this situation because of where I am on the amortization schedule. Is this wrong?
You are always paying the mortgage interest rate on the unpaid balance.
Where you are on the mortgage schedule affects how much TIME you gain by prepaying, but the rate of return remains the same.
Lotta smart people over there who will happily explain it in easy to wrap your head around ways. Once you know, you'll still be free to do whatever you want, as always.

Thanks, this bit was enough "You are always paying the mortgage interest rate on the unpaid balance."
It was really more of a "where to save a down payment" than a "should I pay down the mortgage early" question.

What tech does the Department of Homeland Security want to implement to improve border security?
What tech does the Department of Homeland Security want to implement to improve border security?
Answer: Facial scanning and recognition.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may be taking a page out of Apple’s book when it comes to identification and security. Apple’s latest and greatest iPhone, the iPhone X, boasts facial recognition technology that will make proving yourself to your phone more convenient than ever — all you have to do is look at it. DHS wants to provide similar levels of convenience to travelers crossing U.S. borders.
“This call is looking for innovative solutions to capture facial recognition quality photos from travelers in order to facilitate identity checks without requiring occupants to leave the vehicle,” said the call for proposals.
DHS’ Silicon Valley office will host an “industry day” on Nov. 14 in order to explore opportunities for making this idea a reality. According to the call for proposals, DHS wants the system to be able to reliably identify occupants of a vehicle even when their faces are obscured by hats or sunglasses, or turned away from the camera.

How long would it take to fly anywhere on Earth using a SpaceX rocket?
How long would it take to fly anywhere on Earth using a SpaceX rocket?
Answer: less than an hour.
Before he gets us to Mars, Elon Musk wants to get us anywhere on Earth in under an hour.
At Friday’s International Astronautical Conference, the CEO of SpaceX revealed the company’s plans for its largest airborne vehicle yet, the BFR. While originally intended to facilitate SpaceX’s goal of putting humans on Mars by 2024, Musk announced that he also envisions using the rocket for high-speed Earth travel.
The world’s longest flight — from Doha, Qatar, to Auckland, New Zealand — currently takes 16.5 hours. However, with SpaceX’s BFR rocket, flight time would be just 45 minutes.

← Did Allegiant Air stop its nonstop flight service between Reno and Oakland?
Answer: It looks like safety was possibly the reason why initial construction prohibited that left turn near the Fire Creek Crossing shopping center just southwest of the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, city of Reno traffic engineer Steve Bunnell said.
To make a left turn there (click here for location), cars must cross two lanes of traffic running in the opposite direction and initial construction more than a decade ago placed a median there to prevent left turns.
But that doesn’t mean the city won’t reconsider the decision in the future, Bunnell said.
