Google Finally Hosting News On Its Site: Will Newspapers Get Pissed Off At AP Now?
from the ah,-the-shifting-marketplace dept
Earlier this month, we noted that it had been a year since Google had done a deal with the Associated press and there appeared to be nothing to show for it. That led to speculation that the deal really had nothing to do with with some new "news" product, and it was really about paying off the AP so it didn't sue Google for linking to AP stories (the way some other news organizations had done). That seemed strange because it was quite difficult to see what the Associated Press or anyone else had to argue about if Google News was providing their news partners more traffic. However, the snickering over a lack of any real project seems to have kicked Google into action, and they've just announced that they're going to start hosting news content on their own site from the AP and a few other news organizations the company has done deals with. Amusingly, I was unable to find the AP version of this story hosted on Google itself, but did find the Canadian Press version. There don't appear to be any advertisements on the Google hosted version, but there are links to "related news" -- which makes a lot of sense. Of course, if I were a publisher partner of the Associated Press, I'd actually be really upset by this deal -- but directed at the Associated Press, rather than at Google. This deal is likely to lower traffic to other sites that republish AP reports. So all those partners get no benefit from the deal and actually lose out on traffic. If there are newspapers who want to get upset about Google News, they should get upset at the AP for basically giving a bunch of their traffic directly to Google.

Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task, as it primarily discusses Google's new initiative regarding hosting news content and the implications for various stakeholders. Additionally, the instructions present in the article are not structured in a way that would be useful for training a language model in deeper reasoning, as they lack detailed procedural guidance or logical steps. Instead, the content primarily analyzes the situation rather than offering a methodical approach to a task.

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps that guide the reader through the cookie-making process, from preparation to baking to assembly. The procedural instructions are detailed enough, outlining specific actions and measurements, which would be useful for training a language model by enabling it to better understand and replicate complex reasoning tasks related to cooking and following recipes.

Welcome! My name is Julie and I began The Family CEO when I decided to make my family’s finances my business. Literally. In March of 2006 I hired myself to focus on our money: tracking it, spending it more purposefully, and finding new ways to save it. This blog documents those efforts.
While these activities weren’t actually new to me, documenting them certainly was. And calling myself and this blog “The Family CEO” gave me a new way of thinking about my role. It made me more purposeful and gave my efforts more meaning.
Eventually I expanded the blog to include other topics such as organizing and simplifying. Basically anything that I’m passionate about that relates to the running of a household is fair game. You’ll find a complete category list in my sidebar.
In addition to being the author of this blog, I am a wife, mother of two, and part-time bookkeeper/office manager. My formal education includes a degree in Business Administration, which probably explains where the “Family CEO” idea came from.
If you’d like to get a feel for what The Family CEO is all about, you can start here: Sitemeter and Google tell me that three of the most popular posts in this blog are:
I invite you to subscribe to The Family CEO, either by email or in a reader, so that you can be notified with new posts are added. And please comment on any post that interests you. I love hearing the comments and ideas of other bloggers and readers.
Finally, feel free to email me with any questions, comments, or suggestions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you!

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task; rather, it serves as an introductory statement about the blog and the author's experiences with family finance management. Additionally, the instructions are not structured in a way that would effectively train a language model for deeper reasoning, as there is no detailed procedural guidance or logical progression to follow. The content is more narrative than instructional, lacking the clarity and detail needed for step-by-step reasoning or training purposes.

Eric’s guest posts at the beginning of this week came at a great time. I have just been too busy to write much for the blog lately. It is not that I have a shortage of content- in fact, look for a book review next week and a couple of product reviews soon. It is just that, as I mentioned before, free time has been hard to come by lately. I have received quite a few emails from readers the past couple of weeks though, so today I want to quickly pass along a few of the links that some of you have been sent to me.
Brad is a friend and former co-worker who now lives in Taipei. He works near the new trade show hall, so he stopped by to check out the show last week and sent me these pictures of a women specific Giant Avail Diamond road bike. Yeah, this particular bike is a little outrageous with its jeweled accents, but Brad mentioned that bikes designed for women are becoming very popular in Taiwan. He points out that “there is even a 2 floor Giant shop downtown entirely devoted to women’s bikes and accessories know as LIV.” Check out the link to the LIV site; pretty interesting.
Brad also sent me a link to the website for Speed One, a Taiwanese company that makes some interesting bikes, mostly of the small wheeled variety.
Robb from MTB by 198 recently visited the production facilities at Cane Creek Cycling Components. He has a great post from the visit with several pictures of the production and testing areas.
Lawrence pointed out a completely wooden bike made by a carpenter named Peijia Wu from the village of Nanzhuang in Shandong province, China.
In response to my post about the Skua, pjotr320 commented that the ‘Velayo’ velomobile from Germany features rear wheel steering. A quick Google search turned up this and this. Let me know if any of you, especially those of you who can read German, know any more about this design.
On a related note, Krash sent me a link to VeloKit, which is “an easily removed, all weather body for three wheeled recumbent bikes.” He points out that it is a “reasonably priced alternative to dedicated hard-shelled velomobiles and gas guzzling autos.”
Rounding out the velomobile topic, I will point out a new blog on that subject sent to me by Pixelman. It is written in French, but even if you can’t read it, check it out for pictures of various designs.
It has been a couple of weeks, but Lane sent a link to his website, CETMA Cargo. He hand builds racks and cargo bikes in Oregon. It is a nice looking, straightforward cargo bike design, so I encourage you to take a look at some of the pictures on his site.
Contrail is a conceptual frame mounted device, which leaves a chalk line behind your bike as you ride creating impromptu bike lanes throughout the city (or at least showing others where someone else has ridden). The design has been around the web lately, but I think it is an interesting concept that is worth another mention.
Finally, I will close with a link to something that is not even really a bike. It does look like it would be fun to try out though. I don’t know much about this “spin vehicle”, but you have to like the look of fear on the face of the rendered model toward the bottom of the page.

Step-by-step: No

Besides the pasta, MisterMan has yellow peppers and enoki stir-fried with olive oil, garlic and shoyu. Purple carrot skewer, cukes, peapods, sweet potato flowers, tomato and Spanish olive salad with feta, and fruit section of strawberries, kiwi, red grapes and honeydew nectarines -- these smell fantastic, but sadly, they don't taste as sweet as the black plums or pluots, my all-time favorites.
I am a former research scientist turned stay-at-home-mom of 2 who got started with bento in an effort to help my kids learn that eating healthy and nutritious foods can be fun and cute. I make a bento lunch for my 9yo (4th grader) son & my 5yo kindergartener girl every school day, and post the pictures on my sherimiya ♥ flickr photostream. Here in this blog is where I describe each bento, and you'll also get a peek inside our family adventures. Thanks for taking a look, and please let me know what you think ^-^!

Somewhere throughout the paragraphs you actually were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a short while. I however have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one might do nicely to help fill in all those gaps. In the event you can accomplish that, I could surely end up being impressed.

Snowflakes are a seasonal craft around here. Using my aforementioned Snowflake Seeds, my little family makes a variety of snowflakes to decorate our windows. This year, I tried something a little different… a steampunk snowflake:
I wasn’t sure that it would work… and I could do a lot more detail with a laser cutter… but for an experiment, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I’m obviously cheating on the spans, and I’ll make one with better meshing teeth later. It really should get the brass and grunge treatment, but the shape is what’s important for this initial test. I’d really love to make one with working gears via Shapeways… maybe once I can carve out a bit more time.
Edited to add: Now, with more sense! This version of the Gearflake has one more gear at the center, and the shape is entirely gears, no support struts like the first one. Way too much fun to make these, I tell you. The great part is that they don’t need any weird laser cutting tools, you can do these just with paper and scissors. All the cuts come in from the sides of the snowflake seed. (I’ve got a picture around here somewhere of the folded/cut versions of these…) Sure, the gears aren’t machine precise, and there are errors thanks to the paper folding thickness… but still, these are great to see take shape.
This is the pattern to make the Gearflake 2.0. Once you have the snowflake seed wedge, you take this pattern (maybe fudging the teeth if you want it a little more precise) and cut out the dark parts. Leave the blue-grey parts.
Thanks for stopping by, especially if you’re here from epbot.com. Many thanks for the link!
…aaand here’s version 3.0. Each iteration comes with another layer of gears. I’m running into cutting resolution issues and slight warping (though that can be cleaned up with iteration), so I’m not sure if I can go a layer deeper. I guess we’ll find out. The basics are simple enough, alternating sides for each successive gear arc when plotting them out on the ‘seed, as you might note on the 2.0 pattern. I’m sure I could use Illustrator or even Photoshop to nail down some more precise gearwork… these have been just arcs I’m guesstimating by hand.
This is probably way more fun than it should be. It’s just papercutting after all… but it’s also math, art and a little bit of whimsy. I love playing in that space. It’s a somewhat eclectic Venn intersection, but it’s satisfying to see things come together. Left brain-right brain combinations and all that.

The Giants and Jets have postponed their preseason game to Monday at 7 p.m. due to the threat of Hurricane Irene.
The game will be broadcast on NBC 4.
Other sporting events are also making new plans. See a full list of Hurricane Irene cancellations and closures.
The New Haven Open, the final WTA tuneup before next week's U.S. Open, moved its championship match at Yale to 1 p.m. from 5 p.m. Saturday to avoid the storm.
"Right now it looks like the hurricane is not going to hit until early Sunday morning," said Anne Worcester, the tournament's director. "But, it's not just the actual playing time of the final, but our staff has to break down the site, so it has a lot to do with their safety."
The U.S. Open tennis tournament also was working on contingency plans to try to avoid problems from the hurricane.
As it is, rain on Thursday forced postponement of play in the tournament's qualifying rounds, and action was scheduled to resume at 10 a.m. Friday, an hour earlier than originally planned. The tournament then will try to have winners play a second match Friday in hopes of wrapping up the qualifying that day so as to avoid having to play Saturday. If the qualifying isn't completed before more rain arrives Saturday, matches could be moved offsite to an indoor facility.

I learned at a very tender age that “Have it, it’s good for you!” would inevitably refer to something that tasted very bad. Fast forward a couple of decades (OK, OK so it’s more than that, I confess, I confess!) and I’m a fan of Pom Wonderful because it’s actually “good for you,” delicious and refreshing.
Pomegranate juice has a great concentration of antioxidants, various studies say it is similar to red wine, purple grape juice and black tea. Preliminary research has shown that it may reduce the danger of various types of cancer, it may reduce serum cholesterol and protect arteries from clogging. In the summer I like it as an ice cold drink, but it is a very popular ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. It is also used as a marinade for grilled meats.
Since we are in the Nine Days and meat may not be eaten, I thought it appropriate to bring you a delicious fish recipe, which I adapted from Perfect Jewish, by Elizabeth Wolfe-Cohen, published by Parragon Books.
Stuffed Oven-Baked Trout with Pomegranates
Yields: 4 servings
- 4 Whole trout, about 10 to 12 oz each, cleaned, scaled, rinsed and dried
- vegetable oil for oiling
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup pistachios, shelled and skinned
- 4 tablespoons chopped parsley or cilantro
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamon
- 4 tablespoons POM Wonderful Pomegranate Juice
- salt and pepper
- 1 ripe pomegranate
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Prepare the stuffing. heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium high fire. Add the onion and cook for 3 – 5 minutes, or until beginning to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in the pistachios, cardamon, POM Wonderful and the remaining oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- With a sharp knife, slice off the top of the pomegranate. Cut the thick skin into 6 wedgesand pull apart into sections. Carefully scoop the seeds into a small bowl, removing the skin membranes and reserving any juice. Add about three quarters of the seeds to the stuffing and stir to combine.
- Oil a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the fish. Season fish to taste with salt and pepper, inside and out. Cut into the fish’ skin diagonally 2 to 3 times on each side. Spoon one quarter of the stuffing into each fish. Arrange in the dish.
- Drizzle with the melted margarine. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the flesh flakes when pierced with a tip of a knife. Transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the remaing pomegranate seeds and juice.
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!

The article does provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for preparing the stuffed oven-baked trout recipe, making it easy for the reader to follow along. However, the instructions lack sufficient detail regarding the timing and specific actions for each step, which limits their utility for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning. For example, it could benefit from more elaborate descriptions of the textures and visual cues needed throughout the cooking process.

An equation is a mathematical statement such that the expression on the left
side of the equals sign (=) has the same value as the expression on the right side.
An example of an equation is - 20 - (- 60) = 40.
One of the terms in an equation may not be know and needs to be determined. Often
this unknown term is represented by a letter such as x. (e.g. - 20 + x = 40).
The solution of an equation is finding the value of the unknown x. To find the
value of x we can use the subtractive equation property which says: The two sides of an
equation remain equal if the same number is subtracted from each side. We may also use
the additive equation property which says: The two sides of an equation remain equal
if the same number is added to each side.
x - (- 50) = 40
x + 50 = 40
x + 50 - 50 = 40 - 50
x + 0 = - 10
x = - 10
Check the answer by substituting the answer ( - 10) back into the equation.
- 10 - ( - 50) = 40

Morgan Out for Season With Broken Left Hand
Thursday, August 27, 2009; 7:15 PM
Nobody on the Washington Nationals can run as fast as Nyjer Morgan, steal as many bases, cover as much ground in the outfield, drop down as many bunt hits, or cause as many headaches for opposing pitchers. But somehow, the Nationals now must replace their leadoff man and center fielder.
Morgan will miss the rest of the season after breaking his left hand in Thursday afternoon's 5-4 win against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Back in the lineup after missing two games with the flu, Morgan -- before the injury -- provided a quick glimpse of his value. He walked to start the first inning, then stole two bases and scored.
The injury, though, occurred when Morgan jammed his left hand during a head-first slide into third base. When the inning ended, Willie Harris replaced Morgan in center.
By the time the game ended, Washington already knew the bleak prognosis. Morgan's injury -- technically a fracture of the second metacarpal -- will keep him out for six weeks. As the Nationals resume their road trip in St. Louis, Morgan will fly back to Washington, D.C., and visit with hand specialist Tim Graham. Morgan, hours after the injury, already had his left hand heavily bandaged. He used his teeth to yank the sleeves of his hooded sweatshirt.
"It's broke, guys," Morgan said to the media, "and I'm done for the year."
"It hurts," General Manager Mike Rizzo said. "It's a stumble for us. But Willie has been out there before Nyjer got here. Willie is gonna be out there again; we'll give him a chance to step up."
After being acquired on June 30 in a four-player trade with Pittsburgh, Morgan quickly became one of Washington's most indispensable players. His outfield range benefited those in left and right, and won the appreciation of the pitching staff. With the Nationals, Morgan compiled a .351 average (67 for 191) and stole 24 bases.
The Nationals are not yet sure of a corresponding roster move. They could consider Class AAA outfielder Justin Maxwell, a smooth fielder who has had two earlier stints with Washington this season.

Creating a Round roof
I'm sure you know that you can create a round roof, either as a complete circle or as part of an overall roof. When you select a round roof, each arc will be an edge with 2 end points and a mid point even though you may appear to have many hips. You can change the appearance for the smoothness of the curve (& number of hips) by editing the edge (Selecting the Right Roof Object and Right Click option) and increasing or reducing the number of segments (max 30) to represent the curve. Whilst 30 may look the smoothest in real terms, a round roof is built with a number of segments (hips) so you may be best to match the contruction number for an accurate representation.
There doesn't appear to be any way to create a curved roof using the command line but you can create one by applying the Roof tool to curved linework or walls. Note that ;
- You cannot create a completely round roof from a circle linework or 2 Arcs so use 2 arc'd wall objects (2 arcs - because you can't create a completely circular wall with one wall either!).
- You possibly can't create a roof with a round portion from linework unless it's a closed polyline. (Well that's how I had to do it).
You can also create curved roofs in the vertical plane for barrel vaults, eyebrows and igloos. You can't create a smooth curve but can add multiple changes in pitch to approximate the curve which again is how they are generally constructed in real life. Now the effort to add these multiple pitch changes is no small task so you would like to know how the resultant estimate 'curve' will look before you begin to ensure you are going to be happy with it. Also you need to be able to enter exactly each pitch and height changes to get the appearance of a constant curve not spend all day guessing at the numbers? So how?
Well I have a simple idea to give you the exact data to be entered in the roof edge to get exactly the result you were expecting.
Draw your Arc in elevation view as it would appear adjacent with the model. Use the DIVIDE command to place Points around the Arc. Use an even number to land one point at the apex if you drew the whole Arc (I only drew half!). . Draw a PolyLine on a different layer joining the Points and then turn the other layers off. You should now be left with the Polyline stepping around your curve and be able to estimate whether you are happy with the resulting estimation of the curve. (This will be on your aecElevations as well as any rendered model.) If not - erase the points and use the divide command again increasing the points if you want a smoother curve. Once satisfied, you can dimension each point by angle and height as shown above and this will give you the numbers you enter into an edge on your roof object. OR... you could simply draw a polygon instead of the PLine and have your segments a lot quicker! Again adjust the number of sides until you are happy and then use the procedure above to measure each point to enter into your RO. He's pointed out this is also useful for Roman & Gothic arches. Thanks for sharing this cool tip Robert. As James points out, you can also attach an edge profile to an aecSlab to create the curve. Your slab would be a very narrow ridge at the apex and the curved profile both sides would give you your round roof. You can trim slabs with a pline to fit it into your main roof.
TIP: Be aware the height numbers are for a roof object with it's elevation at 0. If you need to adjust for a different baseline of your roof object, stretch all your dimensions (not the angle ones) down or up at once if necessary to add/delete any extra required.
With this technique, you can create an Eyebrow roof out of a normal gable roof as illustrated, or a barrel vault roof or your own special creation etc.
There is a limitation of the roof object shown here for the eyebrow roof. The Roof object thickness stays perpendicular to the main roof pitch and does not dynamically adjust with the changes in pitch as shown in the picture. For me this would be covered by a gable end treatment (Structural object) but would also be evident in any section. (Note that Sergej's updated Spirit roof tool has no problem with keeping the roof thickness constant!)
You can also create a Concave or Convex (bullnose) curve to your roof though I may use a wall style for these (see here and here). The other option as James has shared is to add a profile to a slab object so the slab itself is only a very small postion and the curve is achieved with the profile. Very easy to do if your roof line is constant.
Copy & paste Trick (sergej's tip)
If you are looking at doing multiple pitches to more than one edge with the ACA Roof Object as shown above, it can get tedious real quick entering each height and pitch on a number of edges. However once you have entered a series to one edge, if you click in the first column of the face box and Control C to copy, you can then move to another edge and paste the same numbers (yes all three columns). If you had originally selected the 2nd (or more) edge already, it will be available in the dialogue box to paste to. Ok it's not perfect. Be nice to be able to alter a number of edges at once but it's quicker than doing each edge individually. Oh and it is a little temperamental sometimes and may need caressing to get the paste to overwrite.
- When you create a roof object, it remembers the last pitch for next time but not the last edge cut. (I think it writes it to the registry!)
- Once you edit some of the edges, adding gables etc, you may not be able to edit the main pitch via the properties pallete and may need to edit each edge at a time! Sigh! Therefore it may be quicker to remove a pitch (gable?) adjustment, change the roof pitch and then re-enter the gable.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: Yes

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for creating a round roof, including specific commands and procedures to follow, which effectively guides the reader through the task. Additionally, the instructions are detailed and structured in a way that encourages deeper reasoning by explaining the rationale behind certain steps, such as the number of points to divide and how to estimate the resultant curve, which enhances understanding and application of the concepts discussed.

Welcome to Another Weekend Coffee Share!
You’d better hold your horses and psych yourself up. We’re not having coffee this week. Rather, we’re piling into the dog mobile and heading off to Dog Beach. I hope you’re feeling brave, because you’re taking our 6 month old Border Collie x kelpie pups, Zac and Rosie. They have such raw energy, that you could end up flying along behind them like a kite. On the upside, just think of all the energy you’ll burn off! Meanwhile, I’ll take Lady, but I will give you a hand.
How has your week been? I hope you’ve had a great one.
This week’s been a bit of a struggle for me in some ways. I’ve still been battling The Cough, which I’ve now christened “Fergus”. No offence to anyone named Fergus, but it sort of sounds like wheezy creepings within my lungs. I went back to the doctor again and am on another round or two of antibiotics, but am finally on the mend. Enough to shout a yahoo, but not quite enough to leap in the air yet.
As you could well understand yourselves, something like a cough or cold which is chronically annoying but not necessarily serious, can still be a pain in the neck. Moreover, you still feel you have to keep doing life and stuff, while feeling entitled to your own private nurse and a good strong dose of TLC. I also want to be a part of life and do things with my husband kids, family and friends and not be shut away in the house all the time. So, I feel like I’ve swallowed Dr Dolittle’s classic Push-Me-Pull-You and it’s been hard to juggle it all.
Both of the kids have been away at different camps this week. Our daughter was on a Young Carers Camp at Camp Breakaway and our son has been away with scouts. While you’d think this would’ve given me a breather, I still had to provide some transport and our daughter had to pop back for a dance workshop. So, there was more driving. Packing for Scouts, was also an ordeal. They provide such easy to follow check lists, and yet the kids inevitably leave something behind at both ends. Trying to get His Lordship’s bag packed was also like pulling teeth. Indeed, I’ve seen him more compliant going to the dentist.
As they say, never work with children or animals.
Indeed, it was quite a deal piling all three dogs in the dog mobile with three humans tonight. The pups were so exuberant. Zac even ran over the rocks at a sprint, and I could see how these dogs could walk over the backs of sheep. They’re unstoppable. Meanwhile, Lady has this way of surruptitiously wandering off, and at one point was heading for the sand dunes, which are known to house rabbits and other critters. This area runs up to the road and as Lady has zero traffic sense, Geoff had to bolt after her. Meanwhile, Rosie started to follow Lady. Humph! Out came the leads!
By the way, I almost forgot to mention that after dropping my daughter back at camp, I went on a bit of a detour. Indeed, I am the Detour Queen. The camp was on the coast about two hours North of Sydney and there are some wonderful beaches up there. So, I puttered down to Budgewoi where I had half a dozen battered prawns for lunch and then spotted a sign for Norah Head. My friend’s family had a holiday house there when I was at school, and I still remember a few very special birthdays in the sand dunes. Those sand dunes were revegetated years ago and have in effect disappeared. However, the lighthouse is still standing. No one’s buried that along with my youth.
With school going back in a week, I’ve been working desperately hard to get the house sorted out. However, progress took a huge step back in a sense today when we finally got the Summer clothes down from the roof. I have been known to frequent the local opportunity (or thrift) shops on a rather regular basis and have spotted more than the odd bargain, especially when it comes to my daughter. She could become a jetsetter and have what looks like a year’s worth of outfits without spending a cent. However, her wardrobe couldn’t possibly house all of this, so we’re having to do a cull and I’m thinking garage sale. Meanwhile a Mt Everest or two of clothes is choking up the loungeroom and my husband’s peering through fabric and crates to watch the cricket.
It’s become very clear that never of us need to go clothes shopping for a very, very long time. On the other hand, there’s some scope for me in the shoe department, especially after Rosie ate my favourite shoe for lunch. They’re nothing glam. Rather, they’re shoes for people who work on their feet or need added support. Or what my daughter condescending refers to as “granny shoes”. But they worked for me and sensible shoes is where I’m at these days.
Speaking about fashion, it’s an exceptionally rare moment that I even think of fashion. However, I was getting to the point of shooting The Cough, and spotted a very glamorous Vogue magazine and decided buy it and stick my face over the top. I haven’t gotten around to that yet but here’s the photo and perhaps it can ignite a few dreams of your own. I’m getting more and more interested in fantasy these days. Reality is over-rated.
As I’ve been reading back over this coffee share, I’ve detected a note of melancholy and wondered whether I should zoop it a bit bit. Add a bit of razzle dazzle and make it more positive. But, we don’t have to be all happy happy joy joy all the time and sometimes we do just need to move into what I’ll call a minor key, before we can reach the high note.
So, how was your week? I hope you’ve had a good one. Please let me know what you’ve been up to in the comments.

Loves His Boyfriend But Still Wants Grindr
Here’s a guy who’s always been seriously into hook up apps. But he met someone and he thought his hook up app days were over. Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem very content because he’s still longing for Grindr.
Lately, however, he’s been feeling like he’s missing out on something. But why when he’s in a happy committed relationship?
Here’s the link. They go into detail about hook up apps and addiction. And also about how hook up apps are more than just sex. It’s an interesting take, and I think there are a lot of guys out there experiencing the same feelings as this guy in the article.

Miss Mary Mack ain’t got nothin’ on my gold buttons.
This jacket was a recent acquisition from my vintage shopping adventures in Portland over the summer. The babydoll-esque silhouette and statement buttons tells me that this piece could possibly date back to the early 1960s. I immediately fell in love with the shiny gold buttons, and while the chest pocket is too tiny to hold anything, it adds a small amount of charm to the jacket nonetheless. The jacket’s lightweight hand and classic ivory color will make it a perfect companion for many dressy occasions to come. It definitely deserves to be worn with something equally pretty, luminous, and rad – perhaps a little plaid?
I often associate plaid with button up shirts and preppy pleated school girl skirts, but this sheath plaid dress proved me wrong. I rarely fancy a pastel palette, but the lustrous sheen of the silk shantung made this dress rather fancy. Although not quite as fitted as a sheath should be (oh the downsides to shopping vintage!), it’s no problem that a simple belt can’t fix.
To show off the dress or the jacket? That is the question. But buttons this big are virtually fumble proof. I guess I should loosen up my buttons and show off my guns. And no, I ain’t frontin.

Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task, as it is more of a narrative describing a personal fashion choice rather than instructional content. Additionally, the text lacks structured procedural instructions that would engage a language model in deeper reasoning, as it primarily focuses on personal reflections and stylistic commentary rather than systematic, logical detail.

WHAT IT DOES
You often need to process the results of your noise modelling in order to draw some conclusions about the noise impact of the project. NoiseMap quickly creates a large amount of noise information, so you may need some assistance in getting meaningful conclusions.
This is where the Results Processor comes into play. This is an advanced new feature in NoiseMap 5.2 which greatly enhances the ‘Compare Contour’ function of earlier versions of NoiseMap.
It also lets you calculate and compare changes of noise levels at individual receivers, a new feature.
The Results Processor can produce more meaningful noise contours and can replace the use spreadsheets in many cases.
WHAT SORT OF RESULTS PROCESSING CAN YOU PERFORM?
The results processor works on both noise contours and noise levels at individual receivers.
In summary, the Results Processor lets you:
Add or subtract a fixed amount to each result;
Add or subtract any two or more results;
The addition or subtraction can be arithmetic or logarithmic;
Take the average value of two or more results;
Take the larger or smaller value of two or more results;
Calculate a new value based on comparing one result with another;
You can download any number of sets of results to do comparisons between multiple sets of results.
CONTOUR RESULTS PROCESSING
You may try out these examples from the ManualExampleDatabase.nmdb database supplied with NoiseMap.
CONTRIBUTION OF NEW ROAD TO CHANGE OF LEVEL
This example shows how noise levels have increased alongside a new link road. This has been calculated by arithmetically subtracting the contribution of noise of existing roads from the total future noise level. Note that the increase in level is also shown at the receiver points, being as high as 3.9 dB at this location.
The contour and receiver results can be exported for use in spreadsheets and reports.
The Results Expression used here is simply:
where R1 is the Total Future Noise Level and R2 is the noise level from existing roads.
Note that this result is not the same as showing the contribution of noise from the new road. In areas where the noise from existing road is very high, a large contribution of noise from the new road may not have a significant effect overall.
EXCEEDANCE OF A TRIGGER LEVEL
This example shows areas where the future total noise level is greater than 60 dB and the contribution of noise from the new road exceeds 1 dB.
The results expression is:
if(((r1-r2)>1 and r1>60),10,-10)
where r1 is the Total Future Noise Level and r2 is the noise level from existing roads.
Note that the value of 10 is applied where the trigger is exceeded – this is shown in red on the map. A value of -10 is applied where the trigger is not exceeded.
Interpolation of results is ‘switched off’ of setting the Contour Display Parameters to show ‘Unsmoothed Contour Data’ and the automatic colour generation is overridden by selecting to display only contour values of -10 and 10.
SHOWING TRIGGERS AT RECEIVERS
Exactly the same procedure is applied to individual receiver results. The results shown on the above map apply to first floor receivers and it can be seen that noise levels on the façade facing the new roundabout do exceed the trigger. [Ground floor receivers do not exceed the trigger, which corresponds to the noise contour.]
This shows the contribution of noise from an industrial site, relative to the total noise level in an area.
Two results sets were loaded:
R1 = Total Noise from All Roads – LAeq 16 h parameter chosen
R2 = Industrial site – LAeq 16-h calculated
The Results Expression is:
R1 = logsum(R1,R2) – R1
This is the total noise level from All Roads and the Industrial site, less the noise from the industrial site alone – i.e. the effective contribution of noise from the Industrial site.
It can be seen that the effect of the site is very localised.
In this example, we are looking at where high-frequency noise from the site might be dominant. (This does not mean that it would be audible, as the previous example shows that traffic noise is dominant in most of the area.)
Two Results Sets were loaded:
R1 – BS5228 LAeq
R2 – BS5228 Leq (2kHz)
The Result Expression was:
R1 – R2
with the name ‘High-frequency noise’.
NoiseMap allows highly-sophisticated expressions to be created. Because Result Expressions can be quite complex, you can save them for re-use with the Script Interface.
The following sections of this guide give more details on creating and using Results Expressions.
USING THE RESULTS PROCESSOR
Firstly you will need to create a noise model and calculate some results – either noise contours or results at individual receivers. These results will have been stored in the database.
The first step in using the Results Processor is to download the results from the database, using the Results Explorer.
When you download results from the database, you get the complete set of results for the scenario/ tiles/ calculation/ combination that you have chosen. For this reason it is called a Result Set.
LOAD DATABASE RESULTS – RESULTS EXPLORER
Open the Results Explorer by selecting
Calculate> Load Database Contours, or
Calculate> Load Receiver Results.
This very powerful tool shows, for the whole database:
All the scenarios
All the calculation methods that have been used
For Noise contours, it also shows:
The grid-size resolution of all calculated noise contours
The height of the noise contours
The category combinations of calculated contours
Firstly, filter down to the calculations of interest by ticking the boxes alongside the relevant criteria.
Select the tiles of interest from the Tiles selector at the top of the window. The options are:
All visible tiles (default)
All loaded tiles
All populated tiles in model
All populated tiles in scenario
You can also select tiles in the graphical window using the mouse.
You may also select results according to their validity – Valid, Invalid or All Results: see below for an explanation of ‘validity’.
The lower part of the window shows the available results. Highlight the Result Sets that you wish to work on. You can select several lines at once. They will be loaded into NoiseMap.
Note that when loading Noise Contours, you have to select each combination that you want to work on, but when loading Receiver Calculations, you only need to select the scenario and calculation method – all the combinations are loaded simultaneously. You select the combination of interest in a later step.
For more information on using the Results Explorer, click on the ? button to open context-sensitive help, or consult the main User Manual.
Once you have loaded the result set, you can choose simply to display that result, or you can start to process it. For help on simply displaying a result, use the context-sensitive help or consult the User Manual.
PROCESSING A RESULT
This section details how to process a result set once you have downloaded it. First, select Receiver Result Display Parameters from the Calculate menu and the following dialog opens:
For Noise Contours, the contour Display Parameters dialogue opens:
In either case, click on the button Expr…to open the Expression Builder.
You can now create a processing expression to create many different types of result.
CREATING A RESULTS EXPRESSION
Once you have downloaded some results as described in the previous chapter you can process them. This chapter describes how to create a results expression to do that processing.
ADD AN OFFSET
The simplest processing is to add a fixed offset to a result. First, you load the required result from the database. Suppose this is the ‘All Roads’ scenario from the ManualExample Database and you wish to add a 5 dB offset to all the results. Click the Expr…button on the Contour Display Parameters dialogue and the Expression Builder opens. Select the All Roads result set and note that it is given the name R1 (you can edit this name if desired).
Now, in the expression window below, enter R1+5. This means add 5 dB to all values in result set R1, (All Roads). You can give a (user-friendly) name to this expression: if not, the expression itself is shown. Here, the chosen name is All + 5 dB offset. This will be shown in the information panel on the main screen.
Click OK. You will now see that the contour display parameters show the Result Set as Result Expression and the selected expression is All + 5 dB offset. This will be plotted as a contour.
Another common requirement is to subtract two contours to find the change of noise level between two scenarios. Firstly, using the ManualExample model, go to Load Database Contours and load the two scenarios – say All Roads in the Baseline scenario and All Roads in the With New Road scenario.
In the Contour Display Parameters dialogue, click Expr…and in the Expression Builder, select the two sets of results, which NoiseMap will call R1 and R2 respectively.
Then under Expression type the expression R2 – R1, and call this Change from Existing, see the dialogue below
Click OK to return to the Contour Display Parameters window and click apply to see the resulting contour.
COMBINING NOISE CONTOURS
Note that in the above examples, the + and – operators add and subtract the noise levels arithmetically.
Another common requirement is to add two contours together to get the combined noise level. Here the requirement is a decibel addition, which is performed by the LOGSUM function. The Expression to do a decibel addition of two noise levels is
Note that you can sum as many results as you require and this can include a numerical value, e.g.
ADD A NOISE FLOOR
At larger distances, there can be a loss of precision in the calculated results. This can result in ‘jitter’ in the change of noise level which appears as random patches of different colour. You can avoid this by setting a noise floor. For example, you may decide that results below 30 dB are beyond the precision of the model. If you set 30 dB as the noise floor, then any results below 30 dB are set at 30 dB. Thus if two results are at 25 and 28 dB, both are set to 30 dB and the difference will be plotted as zero.
The expression to set a noise floor of 30 dB to result R1 is
This means ‘use the greater value of R1 or 30’.
Results sets can often contain ‘null’ results. This means a situation where no noise level has been calculated. It is represented in the database by a value of -99, as 0 dB would be a valid (and potentially audible) noise level. Null values can occur in many ways, such as
A tile was not calculated;
A receiver point was outside the angle of view or beyond the cut-off distance;
The receiver point was inside a building.
NoiseMap lets the user process null results in an orderly manner, as follows.
All arithmetic operations on any null value return a null result.
Thus 60 dB + NULL = NULL
However, the log functions operate slightly differently, eg
LOGSUM(R1,NULL) = R1
This is because NULL is treated as ‘no noise contribution’ (effectively as zero noise), so the total noise is the total of the other non-null values.
You may want to ensure that there are no NULL values, to avoid getting NULL as a result. You can do this with the COALESCE function. For example
COALESCE(R1,R2,35) would use the value of R1 unless it is NULL, in which case it would use the value of R2. But if that is also NULL, it would use the value 35. Essentially, this is saying ‘use the value of 35 if there is no other calculation for this point’.
|Other common Arithmetic Operators and Functions are available in the Results Processor: see the table below. Conditionals such as Greater than, Equal to and IF provide sophisticated processing possibilities, especially if combined with imported receiver point levels that could be used as noise criteria. Arithmetic Operators|
|+||Arithmetic unary and binary add|
|–||Arithmetic unary and binary subtract|
|^||Power (eg. R1^2) – can also use **|
|??||Coalesce binary operator (see COALESCE function)|
|Boolean Operators – 0 is false, non-0 is true, eg. NOT(42) = 0, NOT(0)=1|
|NOT||Boolean invert – can also use ! operator|
|Conditionals – return 0 for false, 1 for true|
|=||Equality – can also use ==|
|<>||Inequality – can also use !=|
|>=||Greater than or equal|
|<=||Less than or equal|
|MAX||Returns highest value of parameters – two or more parameters|
|MIN||Returns lowest value of parameters – two or more parameters|
|AVE||Returns arithmetic mean of parameters – two or more parameters|
|IF||Takes three parameters – the first is evaluated as a boolean used to select the second parameter when true, or the third when false, eg. IF(R1>42, 1, -1) returns 1 whenever R1 is greater than 42, or -1 when less than or equal to 42.|
|LOG||Returns the Log10 of the single parameter|
|LOGSUM||Returns logarithmic sum of the parameters – two or more parameters|
|LOGDIFF||Returns the logarithmic difference of two parameters, P1-P2|
|LOGAVE||Returns logarithmic mean of the parameters – two or more parameters|
|COALESCE||Returns the first non-null parameter reading from left – two or more parameters|
|ISNULL||Returns True (1) if NULL. Returns False (0) if valid value – one parameter|
ENTERING EXPRESSIONS VIA THE SCRIPT EDITOR
Complex expressions might be prone to typing errors, so it can save time if they are stored for re-use. You can do this by using a Script Command, which you can type in Script Command Pane (at the bottom of the Results/Output Log window), or you can create the script in an external editor and run it from the File>Run Script menu item.
The script command for loading a receiver results expression is
display results expression=”anexpression”
This adds the new expression to the expression builder window and sets the expression as the headline value. Note that you must already have loaded the results from the database, using either the appropriate dialog or the script interface, so that the variables (R1, R2, etc) are available.
For contours, the script command is:
display contour expression=“anexpression”
For further information on using the Script interface, see the context sensitive help or the Script Interface manual, which has more information on results processing.
EXAMPLES OF SIMPLE EXPRESSIONS
Examples of simple expressions are:
R1+10 — increase value of result R1 by 10 dB
R2 – R1 – get change of noise level from R1 to R2
LOGSUM(R3,R4) get the cumulative level of R3 and R4
MAX(R3, 35.0) – put a noise floor of 35 dB on result R3
MIN(R4, 80) – put a ceiling of 80 dB on result R4
You can nest expressions, for example
MAX(MIN(R4,80),35) constrain the values of R4 to between 35 and 80 dB.
You can also produce conditional results e.g.
If(R3<67.5, 0,1) produces the result 0 if R3 is less than 67.5 and the result 1 if it is greater than or equal to 67.5
A test for noise insulation might be given by:
If((R3>=67.5) and (R3>=(R1+1)), 1,0)
It can be seen that there is great flexibility in this.
RESULT EXPRESSION BUILDER
To create an expression, click the Expr button to the right of the Result/Expression line and the Result Expression Builder will open.
Choose the results sets
First click on Select a result set. This will show the name of the Results set you have downloaded. Select this and it will be shown as Result Set R1. To the right, under the column Result will be the Noise index. This is a drop-down list. Select the index that you require, eg Lday. The start and finish hour in this case are defined by the procedure and cannot be changed, but in other indexes it might be possible to change these. The Combination is also a drop-down and will list all the combinations in the results set. Select one, eg All Roads.
Now go back to Result set again, and select the same results set, but this time, under Result, select Lnight. Select All Roads for the combination. This will be shown as Result Set R2. The Results set names R1 and R2 are used for referencing the results when you create the expression.
Result expression builder – day-night difference
Create the expression
Having chosen the Results sets, you create the expression. Under Expression, click Enter a new expression and type R1-R2 (not case-sensitive), i.e. the difference between daytime and night-time levels. You can give this a name, eg Day-Night diff.
Click OK to close the Expression Builder. Note that the Receiver Result Display Parameter window now shows that the result set is ‘Result Expression’ and the Result/Expression window is showing the expression you entered, or its name if you gave one, in this case, Day-Night Diff. Click OK to close the window and you will now see that the receiver results show the difference between day and night levels at each receiver.
Result expression selected as headline value
MULTIPLE RESULTS LOADING
You may need to compare the results from two different results sets. For instance in the present example, between the Base Scenario and the ‘With New Road’ scenario.
We already have ‘Baseline’ loaded, so we need to load the ‘With New Road’ scenario. Select Calculate>Load Receiver Results from the menu and in the Receiver Results Explorer choose With New Road Scenario. Select CRTN and load the With New Road Results.
The Receiver Results Display Parameters window opens. Click the Expr button. Now we need to add the new scenario to the results list. Click Select a result set and choose With New Road Scenario. Note that this is shown as Result set R3. Select the appropriate index, say Lday, and in the combination column, select ‘All Roads’
Now you can create a new expression R3-R1 and perhaps call this DS change (Do-something change). Click OK and you will see the new expression shown in the Receiver Results Display Parameters window. You can switch between the two expressions to display or export the result as necessary.
More complex expressions can be entered as shown earlier.

Both bodies of water will heat till 100 C (as well as the vessel). Then, the outside one will start boiling by taking latent heat from the surroundings, Now, we only have heat transfer due to conduction/radiation when there is a temperature difference (or an emf, but that's irrelevant). It's mainly conduction we need to consider, anyways. Convection won't get heat across a solid. Now, there is no temperature difference across the vessel, thus no net heat transfer. If we placed cooler water inside, there would be enough heat transfer to bring it to 100 C, and then it would stop (we can't boil pure water below 100 C at 1 atm)
So the sequence of events is as follows:
- Outside water starts heating
- Inside water and vessel start heating; with a small time lag
- Everything reaches 100 C (with a small time lag)
- Outside water starts boiling
- Outside water is completely boiled
- Outside water(now steam) heats up an infinitesimal amount
- Outside water continues to heat up, but also transfers heat to inner vessel. The vessel heats up and the inner water starts boiling.
- Inner water finishes boiling. Outside steam will have reached a much higher temperature (can't be calculated without knowing the masses)
Of course, since it's steam, it will probably diffuse out, so eventually only a tiny bit of the inside water will boil.
In fact, this is one of the ways one can keep a fixed mass of water at exactly 100 degrees celsius. Useful for making extremely accurate calorimetric calculations.

response:
**Step-by-step: Yes**
**Training: No**

The article does provide a clear sequence of ordered steps that guide the reader through the process of heating water and the interactions between the inner and outer vessels, making it easy to follow. However, while the steps are listed sequentially, they lack sufficient detail and context for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning; critical scientific concepts and reasoning processes are not explicitly addressed, which would be necessary for encouraging a model to develop a nuanced understanding.

If you've lived here for more than a few years, you probably think that our stucco-and-frame house obsession is somehow welded into our very development DNA, stitched into our very collective psyche -- or at least, maybe, defensibly sensible from a cost-effectiveness point of view. Update: Not true! Check out this eco-awesome compound built from a shipping container -- just up the street, sorta!
To deflect some of the Mojave Desert sun, a steel Unistrut structure is bolted to the house to secure a skin of modular, perforated, metal panels. These panels blanket the south, west, and breezeway portions and they’re transparent. Which is to say, the skin balances views, natural ventilation, and a 50% reduction in heat and glare.

After 2 months of anticipation and 2 very late nights** it's finally that time of year again: My annual long Chinese New Year break is just around the bend! So, I will not be updating from Thursday, 7th of Feb till Tuesday, 19th of Feb.
(Sorry dears... I promise I'll try my best to take lots of pretty photos and post it up when I get back!)
Meanwhile, to everyone in Malaysia (and to anyone else who celebrates Chinese New Year):
GONG XI FATT CHAI!
I hope you will all have a great CNY celebration surrounded by family, friends and lots of yummy festive food! Also, may you be blessed with happiness, good health and prosperity in the coming year.............
** BAH! Why is it that no matter how I try to prepare, I find that I always have to "pay back" for my leave by working extra crazy long hours just before and definately right after my planned holidays? Grrr.... And why don't people understand that they SHOULD NOT/ MUST NOT/ CAN NOT just send out emails labelled "URGENT, URGENT. YOU MUST REPLY BY LATEST TOMORROW FOR XXX REASONS OR ELSE!" and expect someone to drop everything to comply with their request????
And while we're on that: Why don't I learn quickly that (in most cases) I should just ignore those people without feeling guilty for their plight? Anyway, holiday now. Worry later.
